Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

With this in mind, she fought to this day, even sacrificing her own life at one point, all to pave a path for her comrades to defeat Zero and make it possible for Zero to be saved.

Now, her battle is temporarily over, and her current task is to entrust the medical staff to SONG, whom she trusts, and do her best to provide care and support.

"Tachibana, are you alright?"

Seeing that Tachibana Hibiki looked noticeably haggard, Kazanari Genjuro asked her with some concern.

Regardless of the final outcome, it is an undeniable fact that all the performers, including Hibiki Tachibana, had died once at that time, so he was worried that this might cause them physical and mental harm.

"Hmm, it's nothing. More importantly, Master, how is Zero-chan doing now?"

Shaking her head to indicate that she was in good condition, Tachibana Hibiki immediately asked Commander Kazami about Rei's condition.

She had been waiting outside the ward for the past few days. Although she believed in SONG's abilities, the uncertainty of the final outcome made her very anxious.

"We were just about to inquire when Liao Zijun said the examination had been completed."

As Kazanari Genjuro said this, he pushed open the door.

Then, the sleeping girl on the hospital bed, and the thermos-sized machine next to her, came into the view of everyone present.

"How is it, Ziju? Have you made any progress on the specific treatment plan?"

Without further ado, Kazanari Genjuro got straight to the point, asking Finney if she had a treatment plan for Zero.

"The treatment, well, the situation is a little off than I expected."

From the machine on the desktop, Finney's somewhat tired voice came through.

"Okay, let's get to the conclusion first. Lingyi's body has no physical disabilities, and after a careful examination, I found that even in her current state, her body still maintains a vitality far exceeding that of ordinary people."

Immediately afterwards, Finney told the others present about her discovery.

"There is no physical disability. What's going on? If the previous information was correct, Lingyi should have hearing impairment and visual impairment in one eye, right?"

Genjuro Kazanari found this conclusion difficult to understand.

“I agree with that point. She does have a disability in some way, but if my deduction is correct, it is not a physical illness.”

"To be more precise, it should be a disease that originates from physiological factors but ultimately cannot be completely cured due to psychological reasons."

"In my opinion, that complete relic not only granted her powerful combat abilities, but also completely healed her body."

"However, physical illnesses can be cured, but psychological problems are beyond the power of that relic. Because of an extreme psychological resistance to reaching understanding and contact with the outside world, coupled with certain mechanisms that are not yet understood, Zero has developed the symptoms we have seen before."

The thermos-sized device flashed a few times, and y?/u*〥e-已鸠?霓溜揪【伊〥三六菲尼 continued to explain the conclusion she had reached after the examination, a conclusion that was hard to accept but seemed to be true.

"Is that so? In other words, the treatment must involve psychological intervention... But right now, she shows absolutely no signs of waking up."

Genjuro Kazanari quickly understood Finney's explanation and realized the steps to complete the treatment.

However, this led to a problem: after retrieving Lingyi, he seemed to have fallen into a stagnation and had not been able to wake up from his coma.

If psychological intervention is to be carried out, then at the very least, it must be possible to communicate with her.

However, even if she regained consciousness, based on her previous mental state, it was not a state suitable for psychological intervention that required complete relaxation.

Undoubtedly, this is a rather difficult problem to solve.

"There are still ways to treat it, but it must be stated beforehand that this approach is very dangerous."

P.S. Sorry, I'm a fw.

Chapter Two: Infiltration Begins

"What should we do?"

Things have come to this point, and it's impossible to stop here.

Kazanari Genjuro directly asked Finnie how to treat Zero in her current state.

"The Direct Feedback System is a device developed by Dr. Will that can interfere with the human brain. He had previously planned to use it to make Kohinata resonate with the Divine Beast Mirror, but it seems that he was stopped by Rei."

"It must be said that it is indeed very advanced in brain interference. With the help of this device, combined with the unorthodox technologies such as alchemy that I have mastered, I have successfully designed and completed a device called the Electric World Microscope."

"I won't go into the complex principles, but simply put, using this device, we can approximate the signals in Zero's brain as an imaginary space. This imaginary space is connected to Zero's consciousness, and interference with it can interact with Zero's consciousness."

"I have also designed and manufactured the device for interference. As long as the wearer wears the device I designed, their consciousness can enter the imaginary space and thus carry out the corresponding interference."

"As long as the infiltrator can use this imaginary space to find Lingyi's consciousness, which is hidden deep in her mind and cannot be revealed, and establish a bridge of communication with her, it may be possible to treat her psychological state. At the very least, it can prevent her consciousness from continuing to be as dormant as it is now."

Finney further explained her ideas to the people present and demonstrated the treatment device she had designed over the past few days.

“But, Liao Zijun, you just said there is danger.”

While having a viable treatment plan was certainly welcome, Kazanari Genjuro did not forget what Finney had said at the beginning about the risks involved.

"Indeed, there are dangers. The human brain is a sophisticated product, and interfering with it is not an easy or safe task."

"I did my best to ensure that the virtual space would not affect Lingyi's consciousness and that the device would not harm her as the 'observed one'."

"However, correspondingly, I cannot guarantee the safety of the consciousness of the 'observer' who interferes with her. Once something happens in the imaginary space, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction, causing the consciousness of the 'observer' to dissolve in the imaginary space."

Finney slowly explained the risks of this plan.

This treatment regimen minimizes the impact on the subjects, and instead, the therapists who cooperate with the treatment become, in a sense, consumables.

In other words, the person responsible for infiltrating the consciousness of the "Yoqi" must have considerable determination to accept this job that may be a one-way trip.

"So, we must choose people who are trustworthy and have the awareness to sacrifice?"

Kazanari Genjuro realized this, and then quickly realized that such people did exist.

His gaze shifted to the side, meeting the unwavering gaze of the golden eyes fixed on him. A sudden realization dawned on Kazunari Genjuro; he knew perfectly well that Tachibana Hibiki would be the first to step forward in this situation.

However, it was clearly impossible for her to conduct the observation alone. With the electric field microscope modified by Finney, there was more than one candidate for 'observer'.

"That's roughly the situation. Do you understand the dangers of this job?"

Soon after, in the spacious room where the treatment was to be performed, which had been prepared, Kazanari Genjuro solemnly explained to those present who were about to participate in the treatment.

After he shared this news, people immediately volunteered to take on the job.

Furthermore, there are seven people in the group.

That is, all Symphogear players.

"Master, I understand. So, leave it to me. I will do my best to bring out Zero-chan's consciousness."

The flaxen-haired girl, Hibiki Tachibana, stepped forward to make a promise.

Through Finney's explanation, she understood the dangers of doing this, but having come this far, there was no need to hesitate any longer.

The other performers shared similar or identical thoughts on this point.

Yiqi Liuying (Part 3) Er Er Zhouer "Then, let's begin."

Their will was already beyond question, and Kazanari Genjuro said no more, quickly issuing the order to begin the operation.

Soon, Chris and Kohinata Mirai helped Rei's weak body and placed her on a reclining chair.

Subsequently, SONG professionals placed a helmet-like direct-feedback device on Zero's head, started the machine, and it began to operate.

Thus, the electric field microscope began observing the brain, and the probe of the direct feedback device also fell into the depths of Zero's consciousness, beginning to construct the hypothetical space of his consciousness.

If all goes well, once the imaginary space is completed, the performers will be able to use the device to project their consciousness into Zero's consciousness and then engage in dialogue with her.

But at that moment, the alarm went off.

boom!

"Drink-"

He had to use both hands to grab it, and the black and red blade struggled wildly in Kazanari Genjuro's hands.

"This is troublesome. Due to the direct feedback device, Zero's consciousness has fluctuated, causing this complete relic, the Sky Blade, to resonate."

Finney quickly realized what had happened.

This complete relic absolutely obeys Zero's will. Whenever her will fluctuates, it will rush to her side no matter how far away it is, even if it is sealed away.

The previous lack of fluctuation was simply because Lingyi had shut down her consciousness and stopped thinking, which was why she had temporarily calmed down.

Now that Zero's consciousness has made the slightest movement, this relic immediately comes to life.

This is obviously a troublesome matter for treatment, as it requires taking time to focus on this highly self-aware relic while treating it.

"Genjuro, can you suppress him?"

Helpless, Finney anxiously looked at Kazanari Genjuro, whose muscles bulged as he struggled to control the blade.

“If that were all, I could handle it. But I can sense that it hasn’t put its full effort into struggling. It seems to have realized that we don’t have any ill intentions towards Lingyi. Its current strength is just playing around.”

Kazanari Genjuro replied.

Even though the blade's struggle is still terrifying, compared to its initial violent explosion, it is now merely a playful warning of its dissatisfaction.

"Playing around, that's really playing around with anger, huh... So, we must reserve manpower to suppress this knife?"

Genjuro Kazanari's words made Finney realize this as well.

We must prevent this blade from driving Zero back into that berserk state, so we need combat power to suppress her desires.

Finnie hadn't forgotten that the blade itself had been imbued with the power to summon the Babylonian Treasury noise by Zero. If the noise were released, it wouldn't be something that Kazanari Genjuro alone could suppress.

However, who should do it is a matter that needs to be discussed.

"Senior, why don't you go help the old man? If you're the most mobile and agile, you should be able to help him a lot."

After thinking it over, Chris looked at Kazami beside her and silently made the suggestion.

"Maria should be able to limit the knife's ability, right?"

“Death is entrusted to Maria.”

At the same time, Tsukuyomi Chowa and Akatsuki Kirika also made suggestions to Maria.

“But Chris… okay, I understand.”

"Turn, change the song... Hmm, I won't let you be disturbed."

Upon receiving such a recommendation, the two were taken aback for a moment, but without sensing anything amiss, they accepted the task.

The most flexible and mobile weapon, the Ame no Habakiri, which also possesses the ability of [Shadow Stitching], and the Silver Bowl, which can transform into a chain sword by controlling energy vectors, are indeed excellent weapons for restricting the movement of the Flash Blade.

"BAKA, Kohinata... Ha, how come you're already..."

After persuading Kazanari Tsubasa to leave, Chris wanted to say something to Tachibana Hibiki and Kohinata Mirai, but before she could say anything, she found that the two of them were already lying in the device and wearing direct feedback devices.

There's no other way.

"We can only go to Death together."

Realizing that there was no way to persuade them anymore, Tsukuyomi Chowa and Akatsuki Kirika also gave up on the same plan as Chris.

If there were no reason to stop it, that would be fine, but since there is a need to split up, it's not a problem.

Compared to Maria, Kazanari Tsubasa, Tachibana Hibiki, and Kohinata Mirai, who still have close family and friends, this dangerous mission is more suitable for people like them who are basically unattached.

But since things have come to this, we can only leave it at that for now.

Without further ado, the three of them put on the direct feedback device, closed their eyes, and entered a dormant state of consciousness.

...........

Darkness was the only thing you could see at first.

After putting on the device, Hibiki Tachibana felt a jolt in her mind, followed by endless darkness and a loss of control over her body.

After a short while, darkness did not last long, and light came.

Upon opening her eyes and seeing her surroundings, Hibiki Tachibana successfully regained her senses about her body once again.

"Is this... Zero-chan's consciousness?"

Once she regained her composure, she subconsciously scanned her surroundings.

This is a fairly spacious bedroom, with clean white walls throughout.

The largest space was occupied by a double bed covered with a dark blue, technologically-inspired patterned sheet. The pattern looked somewhat familiar to Tachibana Hibiki, who then realized it was the style of the portal that Rei had once used.

On the bed, there were other quilts and pillows with patterns that Hibiki Tachibana recognized, neatly folded, which made her feel a little strange.

Beside the bed, a computer desk with a large screen computer quickly came into view. Judging from the wear and tear on the mouse and keyboard, the owner of this room seemed to enjoy playing games.

Turning around somewhat strangely, what came into Tachibana Hibiki's view again was something that greatly surprised her.

"These are... Rei-chan's dolls?"
