Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"Will do."

Wang Xuanqiao nodded in response.

"When that day comes, no matter where you are, I will come to you and take you home."

He smiled and let go of her hand.

"So, go forward boldly. The road ahead may still lead to an exploration of nothingness, but the path you have already walked will no longer be a hindrance to you. Memories will once again become your driving force, accompanying you on your journey."

Wang Xuanqiao suddenly winked at Huang Quan and said with a smile, "If you're tired and don't want to go any further, come to the arcade. You need to take a breather every now and then so you can regroup."

"What do you think, Mei?"

Huang Quan nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I will." She answered and opened her red lips again.

“Maybe one day, I will make the shadows floating in the Dead Sea dance with me.”

"It's not my sword that cuts through the pitch-black sun, but rather me, and all the lives struggling in the void, who together will allow that darkness to blossom with brilliant light again. If I can reach that future, can you please..."

"Leave a corner for me?"

Fu Hua, who was working overtime during her vacation, found the sanatorium established by Tianming in Russia.

After the End of the War, although Skymandate withdrew its military facilities around the world, institutions such as sanatoriums and hospitals remained largely unchanged and remained in their original state.

Theresa had thought about cooperating with other countries, but considering that there were almost no countries in the world with a stable political system like Shenzhou, she gave up the idea and arranged for retired Valkyries to further strengthen the security forces of these institutions.

Fu Hua came with Theresa's authorization, so of course she had a smooth journey.

With the help of the staff, she quickly found the caregivers from that time. Most of these women, now middle-aged or even elderly, were very surprised to find themselves so suddenly and asked Fu Hua what had happened.

When they heard that Fu Hua wanted to know about the orphans that the sanatorium had once accepted, they were even more confused.

Most people said that during that period, there were too many orphans admitted, many of whom were seriously injured, and some even passed away quietly shortly after being brought in. Even if Fu Hua had accurately determined the time, the old caregivers could not think of a suitable candidate.

Seeing that the investigation had reached a deadlock, Fu Hua had no choice but to thank the caregivers and go to check the sanatorium's archives from that year.

The files were complete, but Fu Hua had a feeling Otto might have tampered with them, so she checked them carefully. It took her quite a while, but she finally found a suspicious record through comparison.

Because the attending physician for this record was from Tianming Headquarters. He seemed to have come to this sanatorium as an external expert, but he had only treated one case.

Unfortunately, the patient in this case record had no name, and even the file itself was classified as confidential.

Of course, Fu Hua would not be stopped by such a secret document. She used her authority to unlock the file and quickly read the information inside.

The contents of the file made Fu Hua frown.

...severely wounded and near death, with barely any signs of life? Has Destiny Headquarters authorized the use of Soul Steel Therapy? What is Soul Steel Therapy?

Fu Hua immediately called Theresa and asked her to search for information about Soul Steel Therapy at the Destiny headquarters. Soon, Theresa called back and told Fu Hua the details of the Soul Steel Therapy.

It's a new treatment proposed by Otto, encasing the patient in soul steel to stimulate their life potential. Because the technology is still being refined, it's currently only being tested on a small scale at Destiny Headquarters, with no record of its use outside of the headquarters.

Looks like it's you.

Fu Hua immediately downloaded the file to her own storage device, and then retrieved the patient's personnel change information from the sanatorium's database.

"Transfer for treatment? The transfer location is... the Destiny headquarters?"

Fu Hua immediately rushed out of the sanatorium and headed back to Tianming headquarters. On the way, she sent another message to Theresa, sending the file via another world's network.

After a while, Siegfried, who received the news, immediately rushed to the headquarters hospital.

——The author has something to say——

Haha, I didn’t expect that!

Doesn't the skill description for the set in the previous chapter make you think WOC is so joyful, it can actually lead the entire universe in a dance, and wouldn't it just bring Aha along for the ride? But in reality, Huang Quan isn't really dancing with the entire universe with this set, but rather, as she said, in the shadow of the Dead Sea, filled with bloody sinners...

Of course, this is actually quite joyful. Personally, I believe that in the world of Star Railroad, a joyful destiny is the opposite of a nihilistic destiny, because laughter is a privilege of life, and joy is the support of existence.

Also, the set skills in this book are basically at this level. Everyone already knows what the other set skill holder, Dai E, will get after collecting all the skills. As for the third, or rather, the first set skill holder, her set will be even stronger, but you'll never guess which game it is from, haha!

Volume 184: : First, exclude Yulandel

Yulandel is visiting the members of the Undying Blade team in the hospital.

This was originally a task that Rita was solely responsible for, but after seeing Zhongli's journey to Black Wind Mountain, Yulandel suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for her as the captain to have almost no communication with her team members, so she volunteered to visit them.

The Final Battle was indeed over, but many of the wounded still needed to be hospitalized. However, Susanna and Alvette, two members of the logistics support team, were admitted due to some unexpected misfortune.

It is said that it was caused by improper handling during the investigation of lunar ruins. Although his life was not in danger, his muscles and bones were still injured.

Yulandel brought a lot of calcium-containing nutritional supplements and even two boxes of milk at once, which scared Susanna who was on crutches and Yalvette who was in a sling.

"Lord Youyouyouyou, Lord Landel! Why are you here?!"

Both children were so scared that they stuttered.

"You are my team members, so of course I have to come and see you." Yulandel answered as a matter of course. She placed the gifts on the table in the ward and began to express her care.

"I've heard about this accident. Although the collapse was caused by the technicians' mishandling, they don't always identify who's responsible when an emergency occurs. Once you've recovered from your injuries, I'll help you develop a plan for intensive training..."

Upon hearing this, Susanna's face was filled with surprise and joy; while Alvette's face was filled with only surprise, without a trace of joy.

At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the ward.

Yulandel's words were forced to be interrupted, but she was not upset. She just looked outside the ward curiously to see what was happening.

Is that... Mr. Siegfried?

She quickly spotted a man running down the corridor. There were only a few men at the Sky Destiny headquarters, so she knew who he was instantly.

Siegfried was holding something in his hand. While apologizing to the injured person he had disturbed, he looked into the inpatient ward, as if searching for something.

The head nurse in charge of the inpatient department rushed over and stopped Siegfried. Yulandel saw them talking for a while, and Siegfried's face suddenly changed, and then he turned and left.

There was an error in the data retrieved from the headquarters.

The information Siegfried got from Theresa was that the child who was transferred from the Russian sanatorium to the headquarters for treatment was still hospitalized, but after comparing the information, the head nurse told Siegfried that the child was transferred to the intensive care unit with Otto's approval because of his serious injuries.

However, the intensive care unit wasn't located at the headquarters hospital; it was actually an independent area directly under the command of Archbishop Tianming, or Otto in the past. Fu Hua's body had been placed there by Otto, receiving treatment in a life support capsule.

But wasn't Theresa the current Archbishop? Why was there an error in the information she had found? Although Siegfried was puzzled, he rushed to the intensive care unit without stopping.

Seeing Siegfried leaving, Yulandel asked other passers-by what had just happened.

"Are you asking about Siegfried? He seems to be looking for someone, but it's been so long that he's in the wrong place. But I think Siegfried's a bit outrageous. It's been almost ten years, right? How could someone stay in a hospital ward at headquarters for over a decade?"

"And the head nurse said the child who was brought here was a dying child. Alas, after hearing something like that, I definitely wouldn't dare investigate further. I hope the child has recovered by now, otherwise I'll be grieving for days."

Yulandel thanked the somewhat sighing passerby Valkyrie and returned to the ward.

"Lord Yulandel, what happened outside?"

Susanna and Alvette asked her with gossipy expressions.

"It's nothing. Mr. Siegfried is looking for someone." Yulandel shook her head and was not prepared to say anything more about this matter.

She had actually heard about Siegfried's affairs. After the Herrscher of the Sky's resurrection, everyone at headquarters knew a little about Kiana's deeds, such as... that she wasn't actually Siegfried's biological daughter, but a clone.

So when Yulandel heard the words "dying child", she instantly had a guess in her mind - the person Siegfried was looking for was most likely his biological daughter.

So, was the real Kiana Kaslana still alive? Yulandel found that she wasn't that surprised, thinking that maybe it was because it was someone else's family matter, and as an outsider, she should really keep a respectful distance.

I hope Mr. Siegfried can find his biological daughter! Yulandel silently wished Siegfried well in her heart.

Siegfried had already arrived at the critical care unit. The troops stationed there were mainly divine machines, so instead of letting him pass directly, they stopped Siegfried at the entrance and asked him to provide the Archbishop's permission.

Soon, Fu Hua returned to the Tianming headquarters with permission and caught up with Siegfried. The two passed through the security of the Shen Ji and entered the special intensive care unit set up by Otto.

To Fu Hua, this place felt eerily familiar, having been there once since she'd regained her body. At the time, the security forces in the critical care unit had been withdrawn, and even the divine machine had gone dormant, leaving the area open for passage.

But now it’s different. The intensive care unit with normal security looks... like a small prison.

Siegfried's heart suddenly tightened. How much suffering must he endure living in such a place? If that child was really his daughter, then what would become of her after being locked up here for so many years?

Fu Hua was recalling the route she took in and out of the intensive care unit, trying to see if she could directly find the ward that matched the archival records.

Unfortunately, there was none, so the two had to find the attending physician and Valkyrie leader in charge of the area and use the files to inquire from her about the whereabouts of the child.

Unexpectedly, the team leader only glanced at it and returned the file to the two of them. She shook her head slightly and said nothing.

"What do you mean by shaking your head?" Siegfried suddenly became anxious. "Is there no such person here, or...explain clearly!"

Fu Hua quickly grabbed Siegfried to prevent him from doing anything extreme.

"You know what I mean, Mr. Siegfried." The leader sighed. "We've all experienced life and death, so I don't want to be too specific. After this child left, they couldn't find their family, so they were eventually placed in an unmarked cemetery. The number is 885989."

Siegfried sat down on the ground with a thud, his face dazed.

Fu Hua looked at him and frowned slightly.

"Then, is there any detailed information about the child left here?" she asked the team leader herself.

The team leader sighed again and replied, "Because she left shortly after transferring here, we don't even have any video footage left here. My team wasn't in charge of the intensive care unit at the time, so we can't even describe it to you through our memories."

In other words, there is actually nothing left.

Fu Hua pursed her lips, and seeing that Siegfried was still sitting on the ground, she reached out to pull him up.

"It's not the right time yet," she whispered to Siegfried. "There's not enough evidence to prove it was her. Even if we really want to mourn her, at least we should see her tombstone first."

Siegfried's eyes finally regained their spirit, though they were still dim. He stood up, distraught, and followed Fu Hua out of the intensive care unit, heading to the next location—Tianming's Unknown Cemetery.

All the clues found so far have ended here.

Unless you bypass the Russian sanatorium as the starting point and jump directly to the French orphanage in the next circle, the journey to find the original Kiana ends here.

Fu Hua was hesitating whether to discard the information she had found in the sanatorium. She suddenly began to suspect that this was a smokescreen deliberately set by Otto, so that the searchers would go through so much trouble to find a message of death, thus severely undermining their confidence.

Fu Hua believed that Otto, this cunning guy, was indeed capable of doing such a thing, but she did not dare to have complete confidence that Kiana was still alive. After all, she fell from a thousand meters high into the snow-capped mountains, and even Ragnar's search lasted for quite some time.

What kind of tenacious life does a girl need to have to survive in such a situation?

Fu Hua inexplicably thought of the joke that Xukong Wanzang had made - maybe those two S-class Valkyries were it?

No, that's impossible. Fu Hua shook her head and threw Xukong Wanzang's joke out of her mind.

Even if it was Yulandel herself, if she were to regress into a child, she might not be able to survive in that situation, right?

Volume 185: : Game Hall Expansion

The Tomb of the Unknowns is considered one of the good deeds done by Otto during his leadership of the Mandate of Heaven.

This cemetery holds the remains of those who perished in the Honkai disaster and could never find their way back. While some of the lucky few are later claimed by their loved ones, the majority remain here to keep each other company.

Likewise, the cemetery where the Valkyries are buried is also nearby. The two cemeteries appear to be embracing each other, with the Valkyries Cemetery outside and the Tomb of the Unknown within, as if the dead warriors are still guarding the people as they did in life.

Perhaps due to the location, the wind here always carries a slight chill. Siegfried and Fu Hua stood at the entrance to the cemetery, vaguely hearing echoes from the past.

Can those Valkyries whose bodies could not even be found also rest here?

Fu Hua still remembered that Cheng Lixue was also buried here.

Arriving at this point, they both remained silent, walking slowly along the stone-paved road. The neatly arranged tombstones were like a row of Valkyries, silently watching the visitor pass through their ranks and then leave.

After passing through the Valkyrie Cemetery, you will reach the Unknown Cemetery.

Anyone who wishes to visit this place must pass the inspection of the heroic spirits.

If we want to find our lost relatives, we must see the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for this.

It wasn't even winter yet, but the temperature had inexplicably grown much colder. Siegfried and Fu Hua observed a moment of silence at the entrance before carefully following the numbers engraved on the tombstone.

As the name suggests, the nameless cemetery has no names on its tombstones. Besides the cold serial numbers, the only things engraved on them are the location where the deceased was found and the time they passed away, leaving behind a glimmer of hope that their loved ones will come and find them.

There are indeed a few lucky ones who have finally found their way home, so there will be an extra line of blessings engraved on their tombstones: Congratulations on finding your way home, and may you have a safe journey home.

There were so many tombstones here. The number 885989 was even in the middle of nowhere. It took Siegfried and Fu Hua quite a while to finally find it.

Someone had placed a bunch of withered flowers in front of the small tombstone. Siegfried slowly squatted down and gently touched the words engraved in the middle of the tombstone.
