Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Is something on your mind?

"No."

"I see, I was overthinking it..."

Bai Yan, however, stood to the side holding a whisk, watching the two of them, and couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

squeak - ah -

Originally, few people came to the deepest part, and the others imprisoned there had long been terrified by Bai Yan.

The three of them turned their gaze toward the door.

Sakura stared blankly at the three of them, then quickly fell silent.

"Sorry, I'm late. It's not time for you to arrive." After saying that, Sakura immediately turned around.

But Bai Yan made a move.

Volume 1: Chapter 189: Sakura's heart is deeply shaken and in dire need of help.

"Don't go!"

"-Moon Chair Yin Qi Liu Yi San Er Er 9 Er..."

Bai Yan switched the whisk to his left hand and grabbed Sakura directly.

The latter remained silent with a hint of embarrassment, then turned and glanced at the other two before looking at Bai Yan.

"Alice and I were just wearing them for fun when we had nothing else to do."

At this moment, Alicia took off the large bow from her head and moved closer to Sakura.

"Sakura, are you here to see Fu Yan?"

"...Her room was empty, so she came here to check."

"We've just finished taking photos, so I'll be going now."

Alicia, carrying a camera and a large bow, waved it at Sakura before leaving the Depths.

Sakura glanced at Alicia, nodded slightly, and then looked at Shirohiko with a hesitant expression.

Bai Yan simply took her hand, gestured to Aponia to say goodbye, and led Sakura to his room.

The door is locked.

Bai Yan and Ying both sat on the bed.

However, the girl hesitated for a long time and did not speak, as if she did not know what to say.

"Is it about Rin?" Bai Yan asked first.

Sakura's body trembled slightly, then she nodded.

“I… I’ve been paying closer attention to Ling lately, and she’s still perfectly normal, with no problems whatsoever.”

Nevertheless, Bai Yan could still see hesitation, wavering, and an avoidance of certain truths on her face.

“Don’t worry, Sakura,” Bai Yan held Sakura’s forehead and shoulders with both hands, “Actually, I did this to protect Rin before anyone else. Whether it’s Mei, Mebius or anyone else, I don’t want Rin to be taken away by them.”

"This is not only to take care of your and Ling's feelings, but also to prevent the situation from escalating."

"After all, I dare say that no one in this world understands the Twelfth Herrscher better than me."

Sakura's eyes flickered slightly, but she gradually calmed down after hearing Bai Yan's words.

　Erjiu Qi$Liu Jiu Yao San Ba ​​Liu Jun, Yang "I understand, but I just... just..."

"It's normal that you can't accept it. I wouldn't have performed any better than you in your shoes."

Sakura suddenly hugged Shirohiko, who was taken aback.

Her figure was slender, unlike anyone I had ever known before, and she was even slimmer than Rita, who was good at maintaining her figure.

However, Bai Yan did not feel that the other party was weak based on the touch.

It's like holding Bai Yan's arms tightly, which is quite powerful.

The Poisonous Assassin's heart was beating very fast.

The moment she hugged Bai Yan, her heart gradually calmed down.

His breathing gradually calmed down.

Sakura looked up, but held onto Shirohiko's hand.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, her face flushed, and she felt somewhat embarrassed about her earlier lapse in composure.

"In fact, I was reluctant to believe you at first, but I happened to have a conversation with Hua a few days ago."

"I am very sorry about Himiko, but I think Hua's feelings are not too different from mine."

"I didn't get an answer from her, because she's still confused; and Dr. Mebius... I heard she's still modifying Klein's body."

Bai Yan's eyelids twitched.

What is Mebius trying to do?

He recalled the scene in modern times when he pretended to be Qianlu and deliberately said things to provoke her.

When Mebius heard the name "Klein," his reaction was clearly off.

But now is not the time to think about this.

"In fact, it was Mebius who didn't want anyone else to touch Klein. If Aponia had taken action, she should have already dealt with the Herrscher core on him."

“If Bell encounters a similar situation, I think it should be fine for you to take over the entrance to the deepest place and buy Aponia time to deal with the problem.”

"What if the opponent is Kevin?"

"Kevin isn't May; he doesn't have that kind of cruel rationality."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Sakura's pupils dilated involuntarily.

The way she looked at Bai Yan changed.

Because to her, a poisonous assassin, those words clearly did not mean what they said literally.

Is this really a good idea?

"It's just to stop him, not to actually trade blows with him."

"..."

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief for the moment.

She didn't want to be truly hostile to May.

Afterwards, Sakura appeared much more relaxed.

"Ling is staying at school today, and I don't have anything to do. Can I rest here?"

Bai Yan: "?"

Present civilization.

Theresa, who had officially assumed the position of Bishop of Destiny, looked at the blond man in front of her with a conflicted expression, as if even bitter melon juice had betrayed her.

This is the vast emptiness.

"Don't look at me like that. Just facing you like this should make you feel a little warmth, and it will also make our conversation easier later."

"..."

"So let me put it simply: Kiana Kaslana has disappeared, but according to Dr. May's calculations from the previous civilization, she will eventually return and will become the key to saving the world."

"And you, my dear bishop, need to be prepared that you may lose this lovely niece in the future."

Thump!

click-

The hard metal tabletop was hammered into spiderweb-like cracks, as if the so-called ductility of metal had disappeared at that moment.

“Grandpa, you didn’t actually die, but instead possessed the First Divine Key, right?” Theresa asked through gritted teeth.

"Well, on the bright side, at least your niece will come back to see you."

"Believe it or not, I'll tear you apart!!"

"Alright, alright," Void Treasury waved his hands dismissively, looking helpless. "I fought so hard for this freedom, and I don't want to go back to those days. So, my dear Bishop, may I continue listening to me?"

"Fuck away!"

"Simply put, according to Dr. Mebius's calculations, the current civilization is missing an important piece of the puzzle, and Dr. Mebius is clearly not capable of taking on that role."

"So I hope you can think carefully and see if you can find someone special besides Kiana."

Theresa raised an eyebrow: "Why does it have to be Kiana?"

Void Treasury gave an awkward but polite smile: "Uh...you really want to hear it?"

"...You continue." (From "Neighbor 2II. Doubt") #Umbrella Barren =

"Ahem, let me continue—this person must be very strong, extremely strong, even stronger than Durandal."

"Only in this way can we continue the Stigmata Project, which no one else can start, because this project is the first step in defeating the Honkai."

Theresa stood up abruptly.

"You're saying that plan that almost destroyed the entire Sky City was the first step in defeating the Honkai? Who really defeated whom?!"

"I think that was a trap, specifically designed to lure out a race whose bloodline has inherited the [Salvation] mark."

"The true Stigmata Project is far more complex, far greater, far more..."

Theresa didn't want to listen to his endless boasting, so she slammed her hand on the table again.

"Tell the important point!"

"The Stigmata Project even needs your participation, dear Bishop."

After saying that, Void Treasury watched with pleasure the changing expressions on Theresa's face.

Volume 1: Chapter 190: Sakura: I am just grateful and appreciative

early morning.

Deepest place.

Bai Yan is drawing Ying's eyebrows.

"Isn't this a bit too much..." Sakura looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little embarrassed.

She looked even more radiant than before, despite not wearing much makeup.

She had never experienced such a technique before.

Bai Yan had originally planned to stay up all night to prevent Ying from verifying his identity and to avoid any further accidents.

As a result, Sakura fell asleep very early, showing none of the vigilance expected of an assassin.

Under Rita's guidance, he had long since learned to control his sleep time using his biological clock, which is why he woke up about ten minutes earlier than Sakura this morning.

Although nothing happened, Bai Yan remained vigilant in the shadows at all times.

Avoid touching her while she is awake, but she will instinctively hug Shirohiko when she is asleep.

Judging from the posture, he must have mistaken it for a bell.

"Why are you shy? You didn't have this expression when you wanted to stay last night," Bai Yan teased, leaning close to Ying's face.

"I...I just wanted to..."

"I understand that Sakura wants to be a good older sister, and she's willing to do anything for it," Bai Yan said sincerely.

"When I saw Fu Yan and Kiana getting along, I thought that if you had a younger sister, you would be a good older sister too."

"Haha..." Bai Yan chuckled twice, "Actually, both Rin and Kiana are very cute. If you were their older sister or older brother, you would always find it hard not to want to be a better one."
