Honkai, they all became my stigmata

The girl nodded slightly.

That was the first Honkai she experienced as a Valkyrie, and it was also a disaster that she would never forget, deeply etched into her soul.

"I saw in the mission report that you are a hero in the collapse of Manila and saved dozens of victims by yourself."

It was precisely because of Anna's outstanding achievements as a survivor of the Snow Lotus team in that collapse that the Destiny Headquarters made an exception to retain the name "Snow Lotus" for her, and rebuilt it in the future, with Anna as the captain.

"Compared to the devastating consequences of that disaster, I... actually did nothing."

She even almost became a deserter at that time, letting her ideals and vows be ruined in that disaster.

The gap between ideal and reality once made her feel broken.

"At least you have saved the fate of dozens of people."

After peeling the apple, Chen Yu handed the round fruit to Anna's eyes.

As much ability as you have, you can do as many things as you want.

After all, not every Valkyrie is "Youlan Dale", unlike her with almost miraculous strength and growth speed.

More Valkyrie, just relying on their own yearning for beauty to shine in their different positions.

Anna... She is just an ordinary person under the tide of collapse.

"Also, in the battle last night, you once again saved a lot of people. If you hadn't led the Honkai Emperor away, the damage it caused in the village...cannot be underestimated."

"Um……"

"It's not your fault either. What you have to say...is it the fault of Honkai?"

Or rather, the world's fault.

Every girl who was able to risk their lives to fight against them in the Mood for Love is very admirable, no matter how powerful they are.

This is also the reason why Chen Yu never tried to attack Rita when she came into contact with Rita many times after the Queen's arrival. For the elite Valkyries of the Immortal Blade, she only focused on persuading her to retreat. .

After making a deal with Otto, he was also happy to work with them.

Well, of course, when I first met Rita, I couldn't beat her...

"Chen, if, I mean if one day..."

Anna was still a little confused, she bit her lip and asked in a low voice.

"If one day I face danger and escape, what will you think of me? Will you feel ashamed and disgusting?"

This time it's the Honkai Emperor that the A-rank Valkyrie herself can barely handle, so what about the next time, what about the next time?

On top of the Honkai Emperor, there are Emperors and Judgments, and on top of the Honkai Beast, there is such a terrifying existence as the Herrscher.

There will always be situations that are beyond her ability to handle, just like when she was in Manila two years ago, facing the devastated city, she was powerless.

"..."

Chen Yu didn't respond for a while.

Sure enough, such a question is hard to be human, so forget it...

Anna thought so in her heart, and wanted to let it go.

"Sorry, I asked a..."

"will not."

At this moment, the man beside him replied in a short tone.

"Eh?"

"Escaping is indeed a shameful act, but if you are alone, it is not one, because personal power is limited.

"However, after all, human beings are not solitary creatures. Only by helping each other can we continue to move forward. So, if you make a mistake, the people around you will help you [correct] it."

Even today's Ulandal, her growth cannot be separated from Otto, a genuine mentor, and Rita's long-term care.

And he himself felt more sympathetic to it.

After taking little Sirin out of the Tower of Babylon, he rushed to Anti Entropy in time to help him protect the helpless little guy.

And in order to break through the endless cycle of rescuing Xier, it was Alicia and Mebius who helped him find the breaking point.

Solving the crisis in Changkong City is also inseparable from the efforts of Lei Lu's sister and Zhen Qi.

On the real side, Kevin, Yutu and others also helped him a lot.

He has been accepting everyone's help.

"No one can go to the end alone. We all support each other and correct each other along the way."

"Then you...? Will you help me [correct] my mistakes?"

Anna raised her eyes upon hearing this, and looked at Chen Yu's face through the soft sunlight.

"if you need."

Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"Really?"

The girl asked again.

"real."

After getting an affirmative answer, the girl seemed relieved and her mood improved.

"In any case, I'm glad I became a Valkyrie."

I don't know if it was because of being rescued by Chen Yu, but the relationship between her and Chen Yu seemed to be a little closer, and some things in her heart were said unconsciously.

"Being able to protect people's lives is what I want to do most."

As she said that, the girl picked up the apple in her hand, and bit it down.

"So sweet!"

"Because of the mission, you should rest well, Captain Anna."

Chen Yu looked around for the environment in the ward, no matter the decoration or various instruments and equipment, this place is first-class.

The Mandate of Heaven has cooperation agreements with the medical institutions of various governments, and the Valkyries who were injured by resisting the Houkai enjoy free treatment from these medical institutions.

After all, it is the highest-standard ward in the top hospital in Coral Island. Anna temporarily lives in a large single-person suite. In addition to the hospital bed where she is lying, there is also a "family accompanying room" in a room slightly outside. , is also the place where Chen Yu will stay temporarily, at least tonight.

"I'll take a good rest..."

Anna pouted slightly.

"Then I'll temporarily stay in the escort room next door. Call me if you need anything, Captain Anna."

"Good~"

The girl shrank back into the bed obediently, and lay down obediently.

........................

After Anna fell asleep temporarily, Chen Yu came to the next room, leaned against the wall for the time being, and dialed the private communication with Rita.

"What's going on with you?"

"What's the situation?"

"world of two people?"

"...How is the situation on your side, Vice Captain Rita?"

Chen Yu didn't take up the quarrel, and asked Rita directly about the key points.

"I have reached an agreement with the local leaders of Coral Island, and within a week, about a quarter to a third of the non-resident population can be demobilized."

Rita informed Chen Yu of the results of her departure from the team.

As an artificial city jointly built by the governments of the two places, Coral Island has an unusually large floating population. It is not difficult for this part of the population to temporarily disperse, but it is not so easy for the permanent population.

"This result is already good."

Chen Yu pondered.

"It doesn't matter, there is no need to really expel everyone. At that time...as long as the crowd can be evacuated as far as possible away from the place where the Houkai broke out, and the population density can be reduced."

In any case, it is always unrealistic to want all 180 million people on Coral Island to evacuate this artificial island.

But Coral Island is, after all, a large island composed of three layers of sub-islands and a central island-based platform. If only some people are temporarily and temporarily transferred to other sub-islands to avoid the impact as much as possible, this kind of thing can still be done. .

"As long as the crowd can be evacuated to a slightly further distance, I have a way to minimize the impact of the Honkai outbreak."

"Is it the method you used on the Honkai Emperor last night?"

Rita asked back.

"...More or less, I didn't intend to hide it from you."

Having verified the effect of the Holy Blood, Chen Yu does have a plan to use it to reduce the damage caused by the upcoming Fifth Honkai.

"However, in order to make them more convinced of this and agree to the temporary transfer plan I will propose to them after that, we need to do one more thing."

Rita said with a chuckle.

"……What's up?"

"Did you see the [Stairway to the Galaxy] outside the window?"

Rita asked.

As the landmark building of Coral Island, other buildings are naturally designed to be able to easily see the orientation of this tall tower that reaches the sky when it is built.

Through the window of the ward, Chen Yu indeed saw the towering Stairway to the Galaxy.

"In order to make them more convinced that there will indeed be a large-scale terrorist attack on Coral Island and the Ladder of Stars, we need to... blow it up."

Rita said the scary words easily.

"...Wait a minute, real bomb or fake bomb?"

Chapter 18

Xuelian assists team

Fortunately, Rita didn't really intend to blow up this 300-meter-high tower, otherwise, the damage caused by its fall and collapse would be comparable to a small to medium-sized collapse. broken.

According to Rita's description, there are a total of three support points at the base of this Ladder of Galaxy, which together support the weight of this colossal object.

As a landmark building and a project to explore the universe, these three support points are naturally closely protected by the stationed troops. The duties of the snow lotus team stationed on Coral Island also help the local government protect the Galaxy Ladder.

"Even though something like last night happened, some people in the government still didn't believe it. However, we happened to use this incident to launch a false attack and realize the terrorist attack."

Rita spoke up.

After all, the small island that collapsed was still some distance away from Coral Island, which was worth twenty nautical miles.

But if the danger is happening around them, some people's choices can be changed very easily.

"I asked the scientists in the headquarters to help me judge. If I just blow up a support point, it won't make the ladder of the galaxy collapse."

"Although I did consider similar ideas, I didn't expect you, Rita, to bring it up first."

"Hehe, this is a small [necessary sacrifice]."

Rita said nonchalantly.

This is her advantage. In order to complete the task, she can do whatever she can without violating her inner principles.

"However, the timing of the specific action will have to wait until Anna has fully recovered. It will be about three days later. At that time, I will tell you the specific plan."

At the end, Rita added another sentence on the other end of the communicator:

"You have to take good care of Anna these few days~"
