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

"It should be fine." After all, he had picked up the communicator to talk in front of these people, and they didn't seem to mind at all. At the moment, the four people in front of them were discussing another issue.

"Speaking of which, I hope she won't make a scene when she wakes up, thinking we've deceived her or something?" Xiling asked seriously, stroking her chin.

"Probably not?" Kevin's voice sounded uncertain. "We don't think we lied to her about anything, did we?"

"Anyway, I definitely didn't. I'll answer whatever she asks," the Faded One assured, patting his chest. Then he looked at someone and said, "But doesn't Xiling often lie to Xilin? She'll come looking for you when something goes wrong."

"Huh?" Xiling looked confused.

"Oh, I know that too. You play games all day and say you're so good, but you drag other people down their rank." Kevin started criticizing Xiling.

"Hehe." Xiling awkwardly looked away and laughed guiltily.

"Alright, Sirin hasn't gotten up yet, so don't worry too much." Remian took a sip of tea, put down her cup, and looked at Kevin. "Kevin, how's things going on your end?"

Kevin made no attempt to hide anything from Theresa and the others, speaking directly. "I'm still in the Sea of ​​Quanta. Since he hasn't come out yet, I'm planning to release him on my own initiative. What do you think?"

“I have no objection.” Xiling gave Kevin a thumbs up.

The faded one says, "Look at you."

"Tell me about your plans," Remi'an said with a smile.

Theresa, Raiden Mei, and Bronya didn't understand what they were talking about at first, but Lisser's expression changed on the communicator, as if she had guessed something.

Sure enough, what Kevin said next was pretty much exactly what she had expected.

"I went to ask that gray snake. To release it, we need to activate the Eye of the Abyss, have the Anti-Entropy people break through a certain barrier, and then use the energy of the Herrscher Gem to construct a coordinate system that is absolutely accurate to the real world."

"So what are you planning to do?" Xiling looked at Kevin with a smile on her face.

"Let's go talk to that organization and hope they can help us." This was Kevin's idea, but what he said was unintentional, but what the listener took to heart.

On the other end of the communicator, Lisser frowned, pondering the meaning of Kevin's words. Was he telling her to obediently cooperate with his actions? To open the Eye of the Abyss and release someone, someone... a snake!

They're releasing snakes! Do they even know what they're doing? That man is extremely dangerous!

Thinking of this, Lisser spoke up somewhat urgently, "Theresa, turn on the projector on the communicator. I have something to say to these people."

Theresa didn't understand why Dr. Einstein's voice sounded so urgent, but she quickly turned on the communicator as well.

Soon, Lisser's voice rang out in the room.

Hello everyone.

“I am Lisel Albert Einstein, one of the implementers of anti-entropy.”

Everyone looked at the communication device in Theresa's hand, but no one spoke, waiting for her to continue.

After a moment of silence, Lisser spoke again. "I understand the gist of what you just said. I want to know if you know what you're doing?"

"That man is extremely dangerous to the entire civilization. Are you aware of this?"

Lisser's tone was very serious, which made Theresa, Raiden Mei, and Bronya feel that something was amiss; she was very anxious at the moment.

“We know what you know and what you’re worried about, and we know it more comprehensively, but this is our choice. As for what threat it will pose to the world, that’s none of your concern.” Kevin’s voice was calm and serious.

Lisel took a deep breath. "...Can I understand why you would step in to stop him once he does something?"

"As it should be."

Kevin knew what would happen to the world if they released the other party, but even if they did nothing, the other party's return was only a matter of time unless they intervened, which they would not do.

"I'm sorry, but I can't trust you. Anti-Entropy will not agree to open the Eye of the Abyss."

As Lisser finished speaking, Theresa wondered if being so direct was a bit inappropriate. She, Raiden Mei, and Bronya looked at the four people in the room with some nervousness, but their expressions remained unchanged.

It was at this moment that Xiling spoke up.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action anyway."

Lisser assumed that Xiling was going to threaten them with force or something, and her voice was full of seriousness. "No matter what means you use, we, Anti-Entropy, will not agree to open the Eye of the Abyss."

Xiling shook her head, somewhat amused, and said, "If you don't want to help, then don't. It makes us look like bad guys. If you don't want to help, we can just go to Haiyuan City and activate the Eye of Haiyuan directly. If I remember correctly, the Eye of Haiyuan is a relic of a previous civilization, so I shouldn't need your approval to use it."

"...It seems you were right, you know more than we do." After a moment of silence, Lisser said this.

The other party indicated that regardless of whether they helped or not, they had a way to open the Eye of the Abyss; telling them was just a polite gesture.

“We only know what we should know. Oh, and your leader is in there too, it’s Walter Yang.” Xiling blinked and told the other party that Mr. Yang, who does sit-ups, was still alive.

Lisel could hardly believe it. "Are you serious?!"

Their research on the Eye of the Abyss went wrong, leading them into the Sea of ​​Quanta and where they encountered that man, that terrifying man. To prevent him from returning to reality, Walter Yang sent herself back to reality and engaged in battle with him. She thought he had perished, but she never expected to receive the news that he was still alive today.

"Why would I lie to you..." Xiling wanted to say something more but paused, looking towards Kiana's room. Seeing his action, everyone seemed to realize something and also looked towards the room.

-

In the room, the girl opened her eyes. What came into her view was a familiar room. Kiana slowly sat up, feeling that her body was perfectly fine. All the injuries she had suffered earlier had disappeared, as if what had happened before was just a nightmare. But... she knew it wasn't.

"Fu Hua," Kiana called softly.

Fu Hua appeared before her quickly, but her expression was somewhat conflicted. She knew why Kiana had called her, but she didn't know how to start the conversation.

“Tell me what happened,” Kiana said calmly.

After a moment of silence, Fu Hua finally spoke. "It was Xiling who saved you, in front of Durandal."

An ordinary person, whom they considered an ordinary person, was taken away unharmed right under the nose of the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny.

Kiana took a deep breath. "Where are they now? And... are Theresa and the others alright?"

"...They're all outside."

“...Alright.” Kiana pulled back the covers, looked down and saw the shoes neatly arranged under the bed. After a moment of silence, she put on her shoes and walked towards the door.

Kiana took a deep breath as she stood at the door, and slowly placed her hand on the doorknob.

Under the watchful eyes of Theresa, Raiden Mei, and Bronya, the door was slowly pushed open, and the girl they had been longing for walked out. Raiden Mei immediately stood up, and with a happy smile on her face, she quickly ran towards Kiana.

Kiana, how are you feeling? Are you alright?

Raiden Mei wanted to embrace the girl, but... just as she got closer, Kiana took a step back, and her action made Raiden Mei freeze in place.

Kiana took a deep breath, raised her head, and smiled.

But the girl's smile didn't convey the joy of a reunion; it was forced.

"Long time no see, Mei. I'm fine," Kiana said softly.

After responding to Raiden Mei, Kiana's gaze swept across the hall. In the kitchen, someone was busy with something, Kevin was reading a book upside down, Remyane was drinking coffee with her eyes closed, and Xiling was looking at her phone with her back to her. All four seemed very busy and did not look directly at Kiana. Kiana's gaze finally settled on Xiling, who was looking at her phone with her back to her.

She stepped past Raiden Mei, who was frozen in place, and walked behind Xiling. She didn't say anything, but simply looked directly at Xiling.

The gazes behind her were like thorns, and Xiling turned around with an awkward smile.

"Oh, you're awake."

"Mmm." Kiana nodded softly in response, her gaze remaining unchanged as she stared at Xiling.

Xiling coughed lightly. "If there's anything you need, why don't you go find Kevin?"

Kevin's body trembled slightly.

Kiana remained silent.

Xiling's face immediately fell. "Why do you only come to me? Let me make this clear! There's no deception between us. Don't say anything like we lied to you about anything."

Kiana nodded slightly, but her expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Just as Xiling couldn't stand Kiana's gaze any longer and was about to pull off a big stunt, Kiana spoke softly and asked a question that Xiling had asked before.

"So... why are you all so kind to me?" Kiana's calm gaze trembled slightly after asking this question. "Is it because you know I'm the Herrscher of the Void and want to get something from me?"

Under Kiana's gaze, Xiling swallowed and spoke with some uncertainty in her voice.

"I have something to tell you, but please don't get angry."

Kiana nodded; she was now indifferent to joy and sorrow.

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiling spoke.

What you're talking about might be precious to others, but to us, it's probably just so-so.

"As for why we treat you well, and why we're giving powerful and beautiful girls the right guidance to prevent them from turning evil and causing a bad impact on the world, what do you think of this reason?" Xiling gave Kiana a thumbs up.

Kiana stared into Xiling's eyes, as if trying to see if what the other was saying was true or false, but the emotions reflected in Xiling's pupils were no different from usual.

As Kiana gazed into those eyes, she suddenly felt that the questions she wanted to ask had become less important. Just as she had told the Herrscher of the Void, she... didn't care, but there was one question she wanted to ask.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Kiana's question made Theresa and the other two, as well as Lisser who was communicating with her, listen carefully, afraid of missing any details.

“We’re not from this world,” Xiling said nonchalantly, stating this fact.

The others stared wide-eyed, as if they couldn't believe what Xiling had said.

Xiling didn't let the conversation continue. He smiled and asked Kiana, "Is there anything else you want to ask? I can answer you anything."

"......there is none left"

"You're not angry with us, are you?" Xiling stood up, put her hands together, and winked at Kiana.

"No," Kiana gently turned her head away, not looking at Xiling's face. Rather, she wasn't angry with them from the beginning. Of course, she was still a little dissatisfied, but that dissatisfaction dissipated after she left the room and saw them awkwardly trying to find something to do and not daring to face her.

Just then, Theresa's voice rang out as she recovered from her shock: "Kiana."

Kiana turned around and looked at the familiar person.

For some reason, a bad feeling welled up in Theresa's heart. She forced a smile and reached out her hand to Kiana. "Kiana, we've finally found you. Come back with us, okay?"

Seeing Theresa's expectant gaze, Mei's undisguised joy, Bronya's expressionless face, and Kiana's slow shake of her head.

"I'm sorry, I won't leave with you."

"Why? Kiana!" Mei's smile froze instantly, replaced by immense confusion and unease. She instinctively took a large step forward, her voice filled with bewildered urgency, "Everyone's waiting for you! We finally got here..."

Kiana lowered her head and backed away until she was behind Xiling. She didn't say anything, just kept her head down in silence.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Kiana's silence, Theresa and the others' confusion and anxiety.

"Ahem," Xiling, who had been a safe haven, cleared her throat at the right moment, breaking the suffocating silence.

"Gentlemen, do you all remember the consensus we just reached?" His gaze swept over Theresa's hesitant face. "Since she herself does not want to go back, please do not make things difficult for us, okay? Respect her wishes."

“But…this…” Theresa opened her mouth, a thousand words stuck in her chest. What could she say? Force Kiana away? She simply couldn’t do it.

But to just give up like that? She couldn't accept that either.

At that moment, Xiling smiled and said, "Everyone, you know she's alright, isn't that enough? It's the same whether she's at your house or ours, right? You can just make a few more phone calls, right?"

As soon as Xiling finished speaking, she felt a hand on her waist, pulling hard.

"Oh, my kidneys! Who told you not to go back? They called you a couple more times, so what? Let go!"

After Xiling's sacrifice, the farewell, which should have been somewhat sad, became strangely awkward.

-

Theresa, Raiden Mei, and Bronya arrived outside the house. They saw the man at the doorway waving at them while clutching his back, silently waved back, and then left.

Just then, Kiana peeked out from behind Xiling, watching her companions' departing figures, and murmured to herself, "I'm too dangerous right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself... and I'll hurt them."

"You're afraid of hurting them? Aren't you afraid of hurting us?!" Xiling looked heartbroken.

Upon hearing Xiling's words, Kiana turned around and rolled her eyes.

-

I was working overtime yesterday, and when I finished typing and was about to send it out on time, I accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I was puzzled as to why it hadn't been sent.
