Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Gamer: You didn't even get to say a word? How did you communicate with her?

Life is like a dream: I once tried to find Him in Yu Du Chen, but He seemed to be hiding from me. I only knew that He was there, but I couldn't find Him.

Otaku playing games: [Speechless]

Gamer: That's not surprising. So, is there a possibility? This isn't communication; perhaps it's more like a cell patrol?

Fu Sheng Ruo Meng: But I can’t let Him out, manager.

Otaku playing games: I know you are worried, but you can leave it to me.

Fu Sheng Ruo Meng: But wouldn’t this be too much trouble for the store manager?

The otaku playing games: Why are you bothering me? You can use Yu Duchen to bring her into the game! In the game, there will be no difference in status between you two, so you can have a good chat, right?

Fu Sheng Ruo Meng: So this is actually possible? Then I'll apply for some time off, otherwise I won't be able to spare the time.

The otaku playing games: [doubt][doubt][doubt]

Gamer: What are you busy with? Why can't you find time?

Fu Sheng Ru Meng: I'm currently assigned to three different positions: Tianming, Shenzhou, and Zhuhuozhimo, so I'm constantly running back and forth. Zhuhuozhimo is fine; I'm a Yingjie, so my teammates just let me stay in touch. But Tianming and Shenzhou aren't so easy. Both are instructor positions, so I often spend the first half of the week in Tianming and the second half in Shenzhou.

Otaku who plays games: ...Aren’t you supposed to retire now?

Life is like a dream: ...

------

Oh no, I met a model worker.

Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of Fu Hua's constant rush. That was too tragic. A natural week only had seven days. Could it be that he really only had to give three days to Destiny, three days to Shenzhou, and the last day to the Fire-Chasing Moth?

It was pathetic just thinking about it. Wang Xuanqiao could only say that he was worthy of being an immortal who had personally survived five thousand years. If it were him, he would never be able to do this.

In fact, Fu Hua just didn't think much about this issue.

After finishing the chat with Wang Xuanqiao and putting down the phone, Fu Hua, as if her cognitive barrier had been punctured, began to feel moved.

Although the work in Shenzhou was arranged by Mei to enhance the connection between the Fire Moth and the current civilized political system, there was no such necessity for the work in Tianming.

She was still serving as a Valkyrie in Tianming, probably just to help Theresa and the others. Fu Hua thought about it and felt that helping Theresa didn't necessarily mean she had to keep her current position.

Then... how about applying for retirement? The more Fu Hua thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She found a pen and paper in her room and prepared to draft a retirement application.

As if she had sensed something, Theresa, who was then the Archbishop of Destiny, suddenly called via video at this moment.

"Fu Hua, do me a favor!" Theresa spoke as soon as the phone connected, her voice as fast as a machine gun. "Just use your most painful punch on Siegfried and beat him until he crawls on the ground!"

"Uh...what did Siegfried do again?" Fu Hua's mouth twitched.

"It's hard to explain the specific situation over the phone. It's a very tricky matter. I don't even dare to tell my grandmother right now. After much thought, I can only ask you for help."

Theresa sighed deeply.

"So, is it free for you now? You can put your current instructor work on hold for now. I'm assigning you a special mission. Once you confirm your acceptance, come directly to my place and we can discuss it in detail."

"...Theresa." Fu Hua hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to speak, "Actually, I'm preparing to apply for retirement from Tianming."

"......Ah?" Theresa seemed to be stunned. After a long silence, she finally made a puzzled sound.

There was another brief silence, and Theresa sighed again. "Well, it's time for you to retire. I just didn't expect it would be this day... Then please send me your retirement application via the terminal, and then prepare for the handover."

Now Fu Hua felt a little guilty.

"Let's finish that matter you mentioned first." She changed the subject. "Should I come to you now?"

"...Alright, then come over first. I won't assign you that mission anymore, I'll just give you a vacation instead."

Theresa hung up the phone after she finished speaking. Fu Hua quickly changed into her going-out clothes and, before the night got darker, rushed to the Tianming headquarters without stopping.

On the way to the Archbishop's office, Fu Hua suddenly realized that Theresa had been busy ever since she succeeded Otto. Especially after the final battle on the moon, she had rarely left the Mandate headquarters, almost like Otto had been back then.

Fu Hua walked quickly, arriving at the Archbishop's office in the blink of an eye. She raised her hand and knocked gently, then heard Theresa shout "Come in" from behind the door.

Fu Hua pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to see Siegfried, who was walking around Theresa with a bottle of green liquid in his hand and a grin on his face.

...Is he here to apologize for his crime with the bitter melon juice? Fu Hua looked at Siegfried with a somewhat subtle expression.

After the office door closed again, Theresa pointed at Siegfried beside her and said, "Beat up this bastard first!"

"Hey! Theresa, don't bother others! I can do it myself later." Siegfried apologized with a smile.

"You're just slacking off all the time, that's all! But you made such a big deal out of it! Do you know what would happen if someone else knew about this?"

Theresa squeezed the massage hammer she usually used to massage her back and shoulders. She originally wanted to use it to hit Siegfried, but then she thought that this was not Judas after all, and the beating would not be powerful enough, so she gave up.

"So what exactly happened?" Fu Hua asked the two. "I haven't noticed anything, so I guess there wasn't any accidental leak."

"Ask him and let him tell you." Theresa gave Siegfried a look in annoyance, then began to tap her shoulders with a massage hammer and continued to hunch over her desk reviewing documents.

Siegfried told Fu Hua that he wanted to find the records of the rescue operation of K423. He wanted to confirm what happened to Kiana. Although there was irrefutable evidence of the plane crash, Siegfried had a feeling that Kiana was still alive.

It really is a hot potato!

After listening to Siegfried's narration, Fu Hua fell silent and even frowned.

The trouble with this matter is that there is still Kiana. If she knew about this, the relationship between father and daughter would be in turmoil. Given Kiana's personality, she would definitely dig deep to find her sister.

But who knew just how many awful things Otto had done? Theresa herself had witnessed one of those messes, so she was all too familiar with it. Until Tianming's criminal record was completely cleaned up, there was no way anyone could delve deeper into his past.

Theresa originally wanted to let things get away from her, but she didn't expect Siegfried to trick her into doing this.

"So, someone still needs to find a way to find the archives from that year." Fu Hua sighed, "Perhaps there will be clues in Xukong Wanzang."

"But Void Treasures is no longer in the hands of destiny." Theresa shook her head helplessly.

——The author has something to say——

PS: I was discussing with friends why the Shenzhou tablet is a tablet. We started looking for the key elements that make up a tablet. We first ruled out time, then Fusion Warrior, and then Teacher Ma. Now, I'm afraid we're going to rule out the Honkai Impact 3rd IP.

As long as it's true as the article says—Marshal Yunqi develops well. Then... (Hey!)

Volume 173: : Let’s drive the train to the store manager!

The myriad treasures of the void are no longer in the hands of destiny.

In order to demonstrate a sincere cooperation, all the God Keys were actually returned to the Fire Moth. However, Dr. Mei, the actual leader of the Fire Moth, took over and then changed his hands, lending most of the God Keys to Tianming.

But Void Myriad Treasures was not one of them. This supercomputer, built by a pre-civilization, arrived just in time for Dr. Mei. Although it could only be considered an extension of Prometheus, combined with the Herrscher core, it was barely sufficient.

Fu Hua immediately thought of it. Could it be that Theresa suddenly came to her because Xukong Wanzang was with the Fire Moth?

Among the people of Tianming, apart from her, there is really no one else who is suitable to borrow the Void Ten Thousand Treasures from Mei.

This...it seems Theresa already had this idea. Fu Hua shook her head, looking somewhat helpless.

"Okay, I'll go back to the Fire Moth now."

She turned and left. There was still quite a distance from the Destiny Headquarters to the Fire Moth. If she didn't hurry up, she might catch up with everyone going to work. In that case, it would be unreasonable not to do any work.

Fu Hua used the leave granted by destiny to return to work at Chasing the Fire Moth. She felt that even she was not willing to do such a thing.

Seeing Fu Hua walk away swiftly, Theresa sighed, turned around and glared at Siegfried again.

"You're such a jerk! You've made me owe you favors everywhere!"

After saying that, she felt unsatisfied, so she snatched the bitter melon juice from Siegfried's hand, tilted her head back and drank it in one gulp.

No matter how many times he saw it, Siegfried found it incredible. That [expletive] was actually bitter melon juice. What kind of taste buds would it take to produce that?

I haven’t heard that Theresa was born in the UK?

After drinking the bitter melon juice, Theresa seemed to be in a much better mood.

"But I really didn't expect Grandpa to be so ruthless in this matter." She put down the empty cup and said, "If it weren't for the alarm he left, I really wouldn't have caught you doing this behind my back."

"Otto must have done this because Kiana was still alive!" Siegfried said firmly, "But why would he want to prevent others from exploring his records of what he did back then? Where does he want to hide Kiana?"

Hearing this, Theresa pursed her lips slightly. She thought of some... rather heavy possibilities, but she couldn't express them. Before the true answer surfaced, any speculation would be irresponsible.

"Alright, alright!" Theresa waved at Siegfried. "Next, let's wait for news from Fu Hua. Also, go back and work overtime! You know what will happen if I don't see you when I get off work."

"Okay - my respected Archbishop!" Siegfried immediately said, and even took the empty cup away considerately.

The office, now occupied by only one person, fell silent. Theresa looked at the documents piled on her desk, wailed, and threw herself into the cushions of her office chair.

"Damn you, Grandpa! You handle so many things silently every day, and yet you still bother to plot against us!"

She shook her fists vigorously and raged at the air.

"Even if your body is made of soul steel, mine is not!!!"

Otto's oil-painted portrait even hung in this office, with a gentle smile on his face, as if gazing at Theresa from the canvas. But in fact, he wasn't the only one in the painting; there was also a confused-looking white-haired girl standing next to him.

------

Seeing that the time had passed the threshold for children to leave the house, Wang Xuanqiao decided to take a shower and lie back in bed to play with the terminal.

As a result, Kiana came over on time again.

"Manager, I haven't seen you for several days!" The white-haired ball spoke with some resentment.

"No? I'm usually here at night." Wang Xuanqiao had just finished taking a shower and didn't go downstairs. He waited in the living room for Kiana to come upstairs.

"What girl comes here every night?" Kiana scolded.

"That's right. I have your room here, so it can be considered half your home, right?" Wang Xuanqiao replied, holding the terminal. "What's wrong with going home at night, right?"

The smile on Kiana's face suddenly became unmistakable, a smile that seemed to unfold like a spring scene. She trotted briskly over to sit beside Wang Xuanqiao, then took out her own terminal.

"By the way, manager. Did you take Alicia and the others out to play?" the white-haired ball suddenly asked.

"Yeah, she went to the Harmony Festival at Pinocchio. Did she post on WeChat Moments?"

"I sent a lot of photos! Look—"

Kiana handed the terminal to Wang Xuanqiao, and he turned his head to take a look, and found that the photo album posted by Alicia seemed to have flooded the circle of friends, and when he scrolled, it was basically all her photos.

The people who liked the post looked familiar; most of the Yingjies who had been to the arcade were among them. Grace had even left a message saying she wanted to go, and Alicia replied, "Come soon," but nothing more. It seemed Grace had collapsed under the weight of overtime, unable to move.

However, Alicia, who always posts photos in album form, actually posted a separate photo of the photo with the clock boy.

The text above is also unusual in that it does not contain any text, but instead contains three heart icons, which gives it a kind of beauty that seems to be afraid that people who see it will misunderstand it.

"Luckily, Tianming seems to have only added me as her friend. If she had... cough!"

Kiana stopped talking mid-sentence. As for what she left unsaid... Wang Xuanqiao could probably guess. Maybe, perhaps it was something like "Cook Lady," "Herrscher of the Kitchen," or "Red Electric Dragon."

Kiana suddenly moved closer to Wang Xuanqiao, and their shoulders and arms were touching.

"Manager, manager," she said, "I actually have vacations too! I can't take a long break, but I can leave for a day or two."

Wang Xuanqiao turned his head and met those eyes filled with expectation.

"Okay, where do you want to go for fun?" Wang Xuanqiao smiled.

"Of course I want to go somewhere really different," Kiana replied immediately. "Although I'd also like to visit the miHoYo headquarters here, it feels a bit weird if I actually go there."

"Haha, then you absolutely mustn't ask who the copywriter is." Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but laugh. "However, if you want to talk about particularly different things... there are currently two. As for the Starry Sky Train, we'll have to wait and see where their next stop is."

In fact, the Starry Sky Train is currently holding a meeting to discuss where to go next.

Just like the original, the train's energy is actually insufficient. They must conduct a [development] to gather enough energy to keep the Starry Sky Train running. So Black Swan chose to intervene at this time and proposed a new option -

A world that even the pioneering star god Akivali has never set foot in, the eternal land of Omphalos.

But Xing has different ideas.

Especially the sentence mentioned by Black Swan: The world that Akivalli has never set foot in is enough to keep the train running forever. It directly triggered the inspiration in Xing's mind and made her burst out with endless ideas.

"Hey! I have an idea!"

Xing raised his hands high in front of Liuying, March Seven, Danheng, Walter and Black Swan, attracting everyone's attention.

"It's rare that you would actually offer suggestions at a time like this." Sanyueqi blinked, a little curious, "Tell me about it soon."

"Indeed, it's good to have more choices." Walter also encouraged Xing to speak.

But Dan Heng looked at the smile on Xing's face and had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He had actually had this feeling before, like in Beloberg, on the Luofu Immortal Boat, when this guy was trying to make trouble.

"Let's drive the train to the store manager's place!" Miss Xinghe declared outrageously, "Kaituo has definitely never been there!"

Everyone fell silent, and even Black Swan showed a subtle expression on his face.
