I am in the abyss of Collapse

The Crimson Knight echoed, "Indeed."

Luo Lin looked at Himeko Muliangta, who was almost standing behind Ragnar as a background board to cheer for her teacher, and shook her head helplessly.

The old captain held his chin and said, "While waiting for new news from the Equipment Department and the R&D Department, we can't relax... Let's get back to the issue of artificial stigmata."

"I have some interesting information here... Tianming has been collecting clues about the stigmata all over the world. Coincidentally, the Intelligence Department found such an antique in Shenzhou a few days ago..."

The old captain took out his personal terminal, operated it briefly, and then projected something into the dormitory. The thing was full of strange and incomprehensible hieroglyphics.

Fu Hua seemed to have an electric shock between her eyebrows. She held her temple and her breathing became a little heavier.

Somewhat... familiar...

Ragnar said: "This is a silk book that records the legend of the ancient Yellow Emperor. It says that at that time, the Yellow Emperor had a wonderful tattoo on his body, which gave her powerful power... If the description of the tattoo in the silk book is true, then she may be another holder of the holy mark."

"The Yellow Emperor finally went to a place called 'Jiuyou', where he had a decisive battle with a Honkai beast called 'Chiyou', and nothing more happened after that."

Ji Zi, Fu Hua: "Ah?"

Ragnar spread his hands and said, "Because the second half of the silk book was destroyed, the archaeologists who found it said that thanks to the remaining Houkai energy on it, it has been miraculously preserved to this day."

"So what do we need to do?" asked the True Red Knight.

"Bishop Otto said that even if a person who has awakened the stigmata dies, he or she can still leave behind a lot of useful information." Ragnar shrugged. "So, what we need to do is to accurately locate the 'Nine Nethers' and then conduct archaeological work - maybe there will be some technological breakthroughs in the process?"

Luo Lin blinked. She finally heard a relatively familiar "plot".

As it happens, the destination of this mission is in Shenzhou, and she can also go to Taixu Mountain on the way...

----------

Still have a low fever and cough.

But my mind isn't so muddled anymore.

The struggle is over!

Good night!

Volume 307: Journey to China, I think it's OK: Chapter Chapter : Haste, hard mouth, soft heart

Early in the morning, before Theresa even had time to enjoy a glass of bitter melon juice, there was a knock on the office door.

"What? You said you were going to Shenzhou to investigate clues about the stigmata?"

The school principal almost choked on the bread. She patted her chest quickly, and when she caught her breath, she glared at the black-haired Valkyrie opposite her: "I know you are from the Intelligence Department, and there is nothing wrong with doing these tasks... But, investigating the stigmata clues is a time-consuming and laborious task, and the special envoy sent by the Destiny Headquarters will soon arrive at the Far East Branch, right?"

"I know, but I actually have some guesses about the location of the stigmata. This time I'm going to Shenzhou just to confirm it for a day or two, and then arrange a search team to further explore..."

In fact, there is no need to guess the location of "Jiuyou". Wouldn't it be better to just ask the "person involved" directly?

"No wonder I had some impression of this just now. It turns out that I was an eyewitness to all of this..."

Fu Hua scratched her head awkwardly and replied softly, "I'm sorry, Luo Lin, I seem to have almost forgotten everything about 'Huangdi' and 'Jiuyou'..."

Luo Lin was speechless. They were all burned by [Yu Duchen], right?

But it doesn’t matter, don’t we still have the Herrscher of Consciousness who has “enhanced memory and a good brain”?

Luo Lin turned around and asked the treasure hunter who lived in her mind. The Herrscher didn't say a word and directly found the location from the depths of her memory fragments. He confidently poked his finger somewhere along the coast of Guangzhou.

"It's around here!"

"Can you be more specific?" asked the black-haired girl.

Shibao complained: "The old antique used [Yu Du Chen] to burn his brain fiercely. Even if I have great abilities, I can't reconstruct the completely burned memories."

Therefore, Luo Lin planned to sneak off to Taixu Mountain with Theresa under the pretext of searching for clues, and take Shibao with him to the vegetable garden to dig up spring pickles... Ah, bah, bah, [Key of Domination], and by the way, find the Book of Cangxuan as well, throw it into the paradise and work overtime!

The black-haired girl thought that these things shouldn't take long, a day or two would be enough.

After finishing the task, Luo Lin handed the clues he had "asked" directly to Theresa, and asked the people from the Tianming Intelligence Department to install detectors along the coast of Guangzhou to search for the location of "Jiuyou".

As for the ones you might meet later, there’s the Judgment-level Honkai beast “Chi You” that hasn’t died yet, and Ji Lin, whose mind is a little confused because he was sealed for too long... their ending may not be so good.

After all, it will be facing the Red Kite Immortal, who has just listened to Luo Lin's story about his past (especially emphasizing the cause of Danzhu Cangxuan's death) and whose anger value is visibly rising;

The Herrscher of Consciousness who enjoys watching the fun, but also doesn't mind punching the Honkai Beasts that he has a "deep hatred for" in his memory;

A Valkyrie with the strongest destiny, Youlandel, who came all the way from headquarters to follow the footsteps of her teacher;

Ragnar Lodbrok, who is expected to also be hiding a set of [Nuclear Fusion Suit] Valkyrie Armor;

And there is Himeko Muruta, who comes from a parallel world and uses [True Red Knight Eclipse], and is hidden in Luo Lin's support list.

Thinking of the scene where all these tough guys gathered together and watched a certain Judgment-level Honkai Beast, Luo Lin couldn't help but reveal a funny expression.

By the way, I forgot to mention the Hyperion. Although it has not yet been equipped with the [Moonlight Throne] system, the power of its main gun should not be underestimated - in the original plot, it also contributed to the defeat of Chi You.

Luo Lin threw all these nonsense out of her mind and continued to say to Theresa: "Besides, I am a Shenzhou person after all. I should be familiar with the route this time, right?"

"What kind of perverse logic is this? Can people from Shenzhou be familiar with all the places in Shenzhou?" The headmaster complained fiercely, "Then why don't you let Fu Hua go? She is also from Shenzhou, isn't she?"

The Valkyrie spread her hands and said, "Fu Hua actually wants to go too, but Saint Freya's Herrschers can't be left unattended, so I'll go to Shenzhou alone first."

Theresa was silent for a few seconds, holding her forehead helplessly: "It seems that you are determined to leave... I really don't know what kind of magic potion Ragnar gave you when he came back yesterday to make you so impatient. You ran out to search for clues without even waiting."

"Oh, there's no rush for the search... If it really doesn't work, as soon as someone from headquarters arrives, call me and I'll fly back right away."

The dean turned his head, tapped a few times on his personal terminal, and approved Luo Lin's application.

Then she waved her arms as if to shoo away flies: "Go, go, go! Go quickly before I change my mind!"

"Thank you, Principal!"

Luo Lin immediately turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye she was out of Theresa's sight.

Theresa raised the warm bitter melon juice, took a sip viciously, and smashed her personal terminal with her little fist.

"Really... Ragnar! You came to me this morning to report the situation! Not only the problems in Changkong City, but also the weird things you said to Luo Lin last night!"

————————————————————

The black-haired Valkyrie naturally would not waste time. She directly sent a text message to the personal terminal group of the Lu San family, saying that she would be on a "business trip" for a day or two, and then called Fu Hua to tell her that she had already got the application to go out.

"You're moving very fast... It looks like you're planning to go to Mount Taixu with that Herrscher?"

Luo Lin asked: "Well, is it okay for us to take out two [Keys of Domination] when the time comes?"

"Take it, just don't destroy the formation that sealed the collapse..." Fu Hua was very calm, "Also, you'd better not let the Herrscher hang out for too long. If you cause collapse in Shenzhou, I will hold you accountable."

"Oh, what an old antique!"

Shibao said in Luo Lin's mind, "The system space on your body is large and warm, with unlimited food and drink. I also met a good friend here, right, Xiaoyue?"

"Yes, Sister Shi!" Xiaoyue Zhenhunge answered very cooperatively, "We are already best friends!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge seemed to be more cheerful because of Xiaoyue's address of "Sister Knowledge": "The system space is so good, who would want to go out and wander around? And cause collapse? I don't bother to do that."

——You'd better tell the truth.

Luo Lin rolled her eyes.

"Okay, let's go to the airport to see if there are any transport planes going to Shenzhou and take a ride with the cargo... Hmm? Why did Theresa arrange a high-speed transport plane for me alone? Or is it the kind that stays in Shenzhou on standby until I return?"

What a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

----------

The struggle is over!

The progress of the disease today is that I have a severe cough and a runny nose.

The antigen shows two bright bars, which is a positive sign.

If you make any mistakes, correct them when you wake up tomorrow!

Good night!

Volume 308: Journey to China: Chapter : Chapter : Arriving at Mount Taixu...

Luo Lin looked at the people passing by on the street, listened to the familiar accent, and sighed, "Oh, Shenzhou still feels familiar."

Without saying a word, she ran to the roadside and bought a bunch of breakfasts with Chinese characteristics.

Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, porridge, steamed buns, salted duck eggs, pancakes with vegetable and spicy soup, rice noodle rolls, siomai, barbecued pork buns...

Of course, Luo Lin did not forget to send a copy to Shibao, Xiaoyue in the system space and Xier in the Quantum Sea.

This also caused passers-by to look at the black-haired girl with awe - Luo Lin was walking on the road carrying a bunch of heavy bags, and the things inside were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the girl still looked unsatisfied and even bought some delicious food.

"I have to say, Shenzhou food tastes delicious. Hmm, compared to the cafeteria in Saint Freya... uh, the Chinese chefs in the cafeteria are actually quite skilled, but many people from the Far East can't get used to the taste..."

Luo Lin actually wanted to eat some more, but tragically she was already full. After all, she was not a bottomless pit like Kiana, so she could only leave it for later.

Next, the Valkyrie tidied up her appearance and randomly interviewed some passers-by on the street, asking them about the news about Taixu Mountain.

In China, the popularity of Taixu Mountain is actually very subtle.

Because the story of the Red Kite Immortal has been widely circulated, everyone basically knows that there is a place called Taixu Mountain, but no one is quite sure where Taixu Mountain is exactly.

Of course, some people think that Taixu Mountain is just a fictional place in myths and legends, and the "Guardian of Shenzhou" like the Chiyuan Immortal should also be an ordinary myth and legend.

The "parties involved" expressed great indignation about this.

"Old Antique used to only go out to fight Honkai Beasts every day. After fighting Honkai Beasts, he would return to Taixu Mountain to rest. When he was done resting, he would go out to fight Honkai Beasts again..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge complained, "Now, this city is only two steps away from Mount Taixu. Even the people nearby don't know where Mount Taixu is. Old Antique, the Red Kite Immortal, is really...tsk tsk tsk, he doesn't know how to manage his influence at all."

Luo Lin thought for a moment and said, "Is there a possibility that, just like when you ask the locals what special scenic spots there are to visit, they basically can't answer you - after all, the locals don't go to such places."

"Tsk, if it were me, the Taixu lineage would have flourished in Shenzhou long ago..."

Luo Lin randomly found a dark corner where no one was watching and hid there. She used the [Key of Revelation] to mimic a flat, wide-bladed long sword, and flew directly into the sky using the "Sword Flying" technique taught to her by Fu Hua. Then, under the guidance of the treasure savvy, she flew towards the real Taixu Mountain.

The closer they got to Taixu Mountain, the more Luo Lin could feel the surrounding Honkai energy tending to stabilize. When they got close enough, the Valkyrie could even feel subtle energy fluctuations coming from that direction.

——It’s Taixu sword energy!

Luo Lin raised her altitude and looked down from the sky. Taixu Mountain appeared before her.

The whole mountain was just like what was shown in the game, with jagged rocks and steep cliffs. The mountain road climbed up along the peculiarly shaped mountain. There were a lot of grass and shrubs on the roadside. The girl could vaguely see inhabited houses on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain.

There aren't many houses, but it's enough to be called a village.

The houses all look like traditional Chinese houses, with wooden pillars and green tiles. There are firewood piled in the yard, and even some chickens and ducks taking leisurely walks.

The fine smoke rising up blends with the mist on the top of the mountain, giving people a dreamy feeling of traveling back to ancient times.

Witnessing this scene, Xier let out a sigh of emotion.

However, Shibao and Luo Lin paid more attention to something else:

"Wow, what a huge barrier!"

With her keen perception, the black-haired girl discovered a "big net" in Taixu Mountain, which trapped the surrounding Honkai energy and then "digested and absorbed" it at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh, I was wondering, this is how the old antique uses the power of the Key of Domination."

The Herrscher of Knowledge observed for a while and suddenly realized: "The array they form can transform Honkai energy into harmless natural energy! The old antique specially adjusted the output to make the climate nearby warm and pleasant... She is quite considerate of ordinary people."

“I have to say, this is very Fuhua.”

"……really."

Luo Lin lowered her altitude and landed lightly near the village. She was surprised to find that there was an asphalt road leading directly to the village. She had not noticed this road which was mostly covered by trees just now when she was in the air.

The Valkyrie stepped on the ground lightly and observed the marks on the ground, confirming that vehicles often traveled on this road.

"If you want to be rich, build roads first..."

Luo Lin quickly entered the village and found that it was not as "traditional" as she had imagined. At least there was normal water and electricity, and the villagers were dressed very modernly. The girl also found "satellite antennas" that looked like washbasins in some strange corners.

I'm back, the feeling is back.

The villagers stared at the stranger who came to the village with curiosity. Fortunately, Luo Lin had a Chinese look and did not cause any more commotion.

The girl simply said that she was here to pay homage to the former residence of the Red Kite Immortal. The villagers immediately became enthusiastic and led her to the only (? ) hotel in the village.

Compared with the surrounding houses, this hotel is much better. It not only has complete water and electricity, but also has high-speed internet. It is also large and spacious, and is three stories high.

Luo Lin felt that there should be no special hotels in ordinary villages, let alone a special hotel like this one that could accommodate hundreds of people staying at the same time.

The innkeeper revealed the situation to the Valkyrie: "In fact, during a certain period of time every year, a group of people with extraordinary temperament and who are obviously in high positions will come here to stay for a while, both men and women... They also come to worship the Red Kite Immortal, and they are very generous."
