Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

Chapter 126 Her name is Kiana

On the high-rise buildings...

Gray Serpent sensed the countless Honkai energies of Sky City converging above the amusement park to form a sphere. Gray Serpent was certain that 80% of the Honkai energy in that sphere was the reserve they had carefully planned and were about to use for the Stigmata Project!

Now that the plan has failed due to the unexpected event, and the Honkai energy has been forcibly requisitioned by an unknown force, the more crucial thing right now is not the failed plan, but the man in front of us.

"...Who exactly are you?" Gray Snake's tone was very soft, as if afraid that raising his voice would cause something bad.

“Kevin Kaslana,” Kevin said calmly.

"This..." Gray Snake seemed unsure how to respond.

You say the other person is fake, but they don't seem fake; yet you say they are real, but that doesn't quite capture the feeling.

Just as he was struggling with how to address the person in front of him, Kevin continued to speak.

"You don't need to worry too much. I don't have much of a relationship with your Lord."

The gray snake breathed a sigh of relief, but before it could fully exhale—

“I am his past, but he is not my future.”

The gray snake gasped.

The other party's words were quite interesting. After a slight silence, Gray Serpent's voice carried an unprecedented seriousness and probing: "So... what is the purpose of your seeking me out?"

"I have only one purpose in coming to you: has he, your Lord, come out yet?" Kevin said, revealing his purpose in seeking out the other party.

"...The Lord has not yet returned."

Kevin nodded slightly. "How do you plan to bring him back? Is there anything else you need?"

Gray Snake's prosthetic eye flashed violently again. "You mean...?"

"I'll help you get him out of trouble."

Kevin's words were very brief and clear, but they left Gray Snake bewildered. He had no idea what the other man's purpose was.

"Why...why did you do this?" Gray Serpent asked the most fundamental question.

"Because I want to see him."

The gray snakes remained silent for a long time before slowly stating their needs.

"...A coordinate. Our original plan was to throw the Gem of Desire into the Eye of the Abyss, using the power of the Herrscher Core to forcibly anchor a clear coordinate point on the chaotic boundary between the Sea of ​​Quanta and the real world."

Kevin simply nodded slightly. "So, where are you at with your plans?"

“The key step… is to have the people of Anti-Entropy open the Eye of the Abyss.” Gray Serpent carefully chose his words. “Using their technology and understanding of the City of the Abyss, they can break through the barrier that separates the depths of the Quantum Sea from reality. This is a necessary prerequisite for releasing the coordinate signal.”

Gray Serpent told Kevin some information, not because he trusted the man so much, but because he had already informed that person about the great one, and the great one's response was...

"I need to meet with him."

The rest is just a matter of playing it by ear.

The other person found me and asked if I wanted help, and their request was exactly the same as that of the adult.

After learning what he knew, Kevin said, "If you don't recommend it, let's get in touch. Perhaps there are some things I need to ask you."

After a moment of silence, Gray Serpent gave out the contact information of a certain Miss Raven. For an intelligence chief like him, there was no fixed contact.

"Thanks, goodbye then. Perhaps we'll release him in a few days." With that, Kevin waved and disappeared from Gray Serpent's sight.

The gray snake's eyes flickered incessantly. The other party's disappearance not only failed to transmit any Honkai energy, but the surrounding energy also remained unchanged. The gray snake murmured softly, "Is this some kind of technology?"

Gray Snake turned around and looked at the fireworks in the sky that symbolized the failure of their plan, and fell into deep thought.

Kevin returned to the house via the chat group's teleportation function. Standing next to the Faded One, he looked at the extra few people in the house with a puzzled expression.

Those were Theresa, Raiden Mei, and Bronya.

"Who are these people?" Kevin asked, leaning close to the faded man's ear.

"It seems that Xiling brought back a friend of Xilin's," the Faded One replied quietly.

"Oh, I see." Kevin nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Please have a seat, everyone," Remi'an said with a smile as she brewed a pot of tea and invited them to sit down.

“Thank you, but no need.” Theresa stepped forward, her eyes sweeping over Kevin and the Faded One before finally settling on Remian. Her tone was polite but distant, her vigilance unwavering. “We can just stand here.”

"Don't be too nervous." Remian looked at the three people who were a little tense, her voice carrying a hint of reassurance. "We won't do anything to you, after all, you are Sirin's friends."

The name Remien mentioned clearly startled the three of them for a moment, but they quickly realized that the Sirin she was referring to was Kiana.

Raiden Mei was the first to react, her voice urgent, "Her name isn't Sirin! Her name is Kiana! Kiana Kaslana! She's our friend! Where is she now?"

"Where else could it be? In her room, of course." Just then, a door opened, and Xiling came out to answer Raiden Mei's question.

Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Theresa peered through the crack in the door and clearly saw a familiar figure lying peacefully on a bed, her long, silvery-white hair casually scattered on the pillow, her chest rising and falling slightly with her steady breathing.

"Kiana!" "Kiana!" Theresa and Raiden Mei exclaimed almost simultaneously, their overwhelming joy and worry driving them to instinctively rush into the room, only to be stopped by a hand.

And the owner of that hand was Xiling.

After stopping the group, Xiling put her hands on her hips and stood in the doorway, looking at the three of them with a puzzled expression. "What do you want?"

Raiden Mei's anxious gaze almost pierced through Xiling, her voice pleading: "She's our friend! She was... she was seriously injured before! We just want to see how she is now!" Her gaze was fixed on the sleeping figure in the crack of the door, as if the other person would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"You can watch, but don't be too noisy. She played all day and even got beaten up at the end. She's only just fallen asleep now," Xiling reminded them before turning away.

Raiden Mei and Theresa immediately went into the room after seeing the other party move aside. Only Bronya looked at Xiling with suspicion. Kiana's injuries were very serious, yet the other party said that she was sleeping instead of being unconscious.

Despite her doubts, Bronya's concern for Kiana prompted her to quickly enter the room as well. They stood in Kiana's cozy room, watching the girl on the bed, her breathing even, as if she were truly asleep, with no signs of injury on her body.

Upon seeing this scene, Raiden Mei involuntarily slowed her pace. She held her breath and moved step by step to the bedside, the girl's even breathing clearly audible.

Raiden Mei looked at Kiana's sleeping face and felt a huge sense of unreality welling up inside her.

Is this really Kiana? Or is it just a hallucination caused by her excessive longing? She reached out with trembling hands, her fingertips carefully and very gently touching the back of Kiana's hand that was outside the blanket.

The real touch instantly came from her fingertips—it was real! Overwhelmed by immense joy and the bittersweet feeling of regaining what she had lost, Mei's eyes welled up with tears, and she almost lost her balance.

Theresa also breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing that Kiana was unharmed, and her anxious heart finally calmed down.

Bronya kept observing everything in the room, and the more she looked, the more confused she became.

The room was filled with the atmosphere of life: a girl's clothes, some electronic devices, and green potted plants. Just then, Bronya spotted a diary on a desk.

“This room should be Kiana’s room, and this should be the place that Dr. Einstein speculated was Kiana’s permanent residence. So that diary might contain something.” Just as Bronya was about to pick up the diary on the table, Xiling spoke up from the doorway.

"Have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, hurry up and come out. Xilin is fine, she's sleeping right now. You can talk to her when she wakes up."

“Her name is Kiana.” Theresa wanted to speak up when she heard Xiling call Kiana’s name, but she quickly found that she couldn’t make a sound.

Xiling looked at the group with disdain. "Although I know you have a good relationship and you are worried about her, your concern won't do her any good. You might as well let her rest. She... is really tired."

At the end, Xiling's tone became serious.

Raiden Mei, Theresa, and Bronya took one last look at the sleeping girl in the room, then quietly walked out of the room with a click of the door.

The only sound in the room was the girl's even breathing.

Soon in the living room, Raiden Mei, Theresa, and Bronya sat on a sofa, facing Xiling, Remian, Kevin, and the Faded One on the other side.

Theresa took a deep breath, raised her head, and said solemnly and sincerely, “I, Theresa, as Kiana Kaslana’s aunt,” she emphasized her identity and name clearly, “thank you very much for your care and protection of her during this time.”

"Then she should thank me, after all, I waived her rent and meals." Xiling nodded in satisfaction.

Theresa's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing what the other person said; that was clearly not what she was referring to.

“Um…” Theresa tried to steer the conversation back on track, raising her voice slightly, “I meant thank you for protecting Kiana when she was in danger! As her family, I express my sincerest gratitude!”

"Oh, you mean this?" Xiling deflated immediately. "I thought someone was finally coming to settle the bill...tsk..."

Theresa felt a throbbing pain in her temples and internally screamed, "Is this guy even reliable? He seems so unserious! He completely misses the point!"

Just as Theresa was about to say something more, Xiling's voice came from the other side. "We're friends, it's normal for me to help her."

“Is...is that so?” Theresa was a little unsure how to respond, but Bronya, seeing that Theresa was completely in control of the conversation, immediately spoke up.

"Who exactly are you people, and why are you with Kiana?" She didn't express her gratitude or ask about Kiana; instead, she directly questioned Xiling and the others about their identities.

Faced with Bronya's question, Xiling shook her head helplessly. "Who we are is none of your concern. As for why we're with Kiana," Xiling smiled, "it's probably because she asked us for help."

The word "help..." pierced Mei, Theresa, and Bronya's hearts like a fine needle. They fell silent instantly.

Images of Kiana fleeing alone, battered and bruised, isolated and helpless, uncontrollably surfaced in my mind... What kind of desperate situation had driven that always energetic girl to reach out to a group of strangers for help?

Raiden Mei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging emotions. She raised her head and looked directly at Xiling: "Thank you very much for your help. But now, please let us take her back."

"We can't decide that." Kevin, arms crossed, stared at Raiden Mei's face, which was not much different from Mei's, and said in a normal tone.

Kevin's words were like an ice cube thrown into hot water, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the living room!

Just as tension was about to escalate, Remy's gentle voice rang out, easing the tense atmosphere: "The only one who can decide," she smiled, her gaze sweeping softly over the three tense people opposite her, "is Celine herself."

Her words eased the tension in Theresa, Raiden Mei, and Bronya's hearts.

If the other party refuses to let Kiana go, it will be difficult for them to bring Kiana back. The three of them turned their gazes to the smiling man, Xiling, who was watching them.

"So, you mean you won't stop Kiana as long as she's willing to come with us? Can I understand that?" Theresa looked at Xiling and the others, as if waiting for an answer.

All four nodded at the same time.

"Phew..." The huge weight that had been hanging over Theresa's heart finally lifted a little. If Kiana was willing, she could take her home!

“We won’t stop Xilin from leaving if she wants to, because she’s free. As for now, she can either stay here and wait, or go home and come back later.” Xilin slumped onto the sofa, her voice weak.

Hearing the other person call out the name Xiling again, Theresa couldn't help but speak up to correct them. "Her name is Kiana, not Xiling."

"Oh," Xiling replied nonchalantly. "When she introduces herself to us using the name Kiana, we'll call her Kiana."

Chapter 127 Everyone's Plans and Kiana's Choice

The headquarters of Destiny.

Otto stared at the file uploaded by Durandal, remaining silent.

The plan failed.

But this was within his expectations; what surprised him, however, was the white-haired man in front of him.

"Have you ever seen someone manipulate such a massive amount of Honkai energy and transform it into a special kind of energy with just a wave of their hand? Void Treasury."

"...I've never seen anything like it before, not even in that civilization." The Void Treasury, known as the First Divine Key, a Divine Key with consciousness, answered Otto's question with absolute certainty.

“Unknown… Things are getting complicated.” Otto tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He hadn’t expected that these people would appear around the Herrscher of the Void in such a short time. One was someone who seemed to be the Lord of the World Serpent, another was a very powerful man who was willing to stand in front of the Herrscher of the Void, and the other two in the photo were probably not simple either. The plan to capture the Herrscher of the Void might very well be put on hold, but he needed the Herrscher of the Void’s power to complete the experiment.

Otto took a deep breath, leaned back in the seat, and began to think about his next plan.

at the same time.

"Theresa, are you alright?" Dr. Einstein contacted Theresa through the device Reverse Entropy.

"We're alright, Doctor."

"That's good!" Lisser visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

They had all seen the sphere above the amusement park that contained terrifying Honkai energy. Later, the sphere disappeared, and Theresa's whereabouts also disappeared and moved to another place. She thought that she might have been arrested by the Schicksal people. Fortunately, she had made contact with her now, so the situation was not too bad.

"How are things going on your end?"

“Eh…” Theresa looked at the scene in the room and could only reply softly, “We’re alright. We were rescued by the people in the photo.”

Lisser frowned, resting her hand on her chin. She had been rescued by the people in the photo, those who were with Kiana. Although somewhat puzzled, she had another question to ask. "Have you found Kiana?"

"We found her, but Kiana is still...sleeping. Those people said they can only take her away when Kiana wakes up."

"why?"

"Because these people want to know whether Kiana is willing to come with us or not." Theresa thought these people were nice, which showed that they were willing to respect Kiana, but for Kiana's friends, it was a bit unnecessary, since Kiana would definitely go with them.

However, unlike the confident Theresa, Lisser had a different opinion: Kiana might not be willing to leave with Theresa. Of course, this was just her opinion, and hopefully things wouldn't get too bad.

"Is it okay for Theresa to have the communicator hanging like this?"
