"Agree with them on a meeting place."
"Yes, master." The humanoid machine replied.
Gray Snake didn't say anything else, and his scarlet artificial eye emitted a strange light. In the surveillance video, a white-haired girl was fighting a huge Honkai beast with two guns, and behind her was a group of trembling residents.
The cowardly and the brave, the weak and the strong, all appeared on the surveillance footage.
"There's no need to extract this video specifically, just put it into the database." Gray Snake said slowly.
"Okay, master."
The gray snake nodded and walked out of his base silently.
Now, he was going to prepare to welcome Hyperion's men... oh, and maybe Fate's.
The gray snake walked out of the stronghold, opened his black umbrella and hid his body.
Snakes hide in darkness.
Death is but life lived, and life is death on the road.
Chapter 87: Snake Action
Kiana wandered around the city for a whole day. She traveled all over Sky City and appeared in the center of the Honkai incident, relying on her meager strength to save people in distress.
Night was approaching again, but the girl had no intention of stopping to rest. Even though her previous injuries had not healed yet and she was very tired, she still did not stop.
The figure of the white-haired girl shuttled through the streets and alleys, rescuing people in distress one after another, and then left silently, leaving only the urban legend of the white flash to spread among the people.
Recently, the collapse of Sky City has been happening more and more frequently, which is a sign of the coming of a rainstorm. Kiana subconsciously had a bad feeling, but she didn't know what to do. She could only worry and do what she could - saving people.
Even though her personal strength seemed so powerless in the face of Honkai, even though she could only save a small number of people, even though her resistance was so ineffective, Kiana still did it.
Kiana bought a bottle of water with the money she had just gotten from the gangster in the alley, found an empty corner, and started drinking it in small sips.
"Help!!!" The call from not far away caught Kiana's attention. The girl was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly threw aside the half-drunk mineral water, picked up her double guns and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
[Hey, experiment subject, are you planning to die? ]
"None of your business." The kindhearted Kiana would not be shaken by the words of the Herrscher of the Sky. She tried her best to cheer up and search for the person who asked for help as soon as possible. "I'm just trying my best to help those in need."
[Why? They have never met you before, and they don't even know your name. You saved so many people, but they just ran away in panic, and you didn't even get a word of thanks.]
[Perhaps in their eyes, you are just a tool that can be called upon and dismissed at will. You are just a tool for them to survive, just like the vessel for my resurrection.]
[Your best friend Mei is pointing a knife at you, your most trusted class leader has been spying on you and even made you join St. Freya Academy just to perform my resurrection ritual.]
[You are nothing more than an experimental subject. Even your birth was a planned farce.]
[Why do you insist on doing this? It is your destiny to become the vessel for my resurrection. Why do you resist fate?]
The voice in her head became clearer and clearer. It seemed as if the Herrscher of the Void was about to replace Kiana's personality at any time. She repeatedly questioned Kiana's heart, trying to waver her.
"Then just shut up. You keep chattering all day long. Aren't you annoying?"
[Hehe~ Your best friend has drawn a sword against you, the squad leader you trust is just Otto's spy, and even your life and your name are an absurd farce. You might as well ask yourself, is there anyone in this world who cares about you?] After being refuted by Kiana, the Herrscher of the Sky was not angry at all, but continued to seduce Kiana. Her voice was full of a strange charm, just like the snake in the Garden of Eden that seduced Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.
"No, there is." Kiana couldn't help but think of the figure of a black-haired boy in her mind. She looked firm and decisive.
【Um? 】
"Gu Che, he cares about me." Kiana replied.
【? ? ? 】
"Hey, Herrscher of the Void, is he really your brother?"
[.....]The great Queen of the Sky fell silent.
Kiana pulled one back and couldn't help but smile, with a smile that carried the composure of a winner. She climbed over a low wall, and the huge body of the Honkai Beast appeared in her field of vision, along with various dead warriors. Not far away, there was a little girl crouching with her head in her hands, defending herself.
Without hesitation, Kiana took out a baseball bat she had picked up from the roadside, and directly knocked away the claws of the Honkai beast that were reaching towards the girl, and then fired both guns at the same time...
The girl was like a shadow in the darkness cast by the Honkai beasts and the dead soldiers, and fierce gunshots and flames were everywhere. Under the night, her white hair condensed into a beam of moonlight, making the pile of wreckage at her feet even darker.
With the last flash of gunfire, the girl fell to the ground.
Kiana was panting heavily. A day-long battle had exhausted her. Feeling the little Honkai energy left in her body, she looked at the little girl who was still a little dazed and said, "Get out of here quickly and find your family!"
The little girl was stunned after hearing what Kiana said, as if she was still frightened, and then nodded: "Thank you, sister."
Kiana also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly: "Well, let's go, it's very dangerous here."
The little girl nodded, turned around and prepared to run out, but her steps suddenly stopped. Her pupils suddenly widened, and her expression, which had just relaxed, became terrified.
There was a huge Honkai beast in the direction she was heading. Its purple-pink compound eyes flashed with strange light, and its tall body looked strong and powerful. It had already discovered and locked onto Kiana and the little girl.
Kiana naturally noticed this situation. She frowned slightly, gritted her teeth, picked up the baseball bat beside her and charged again. With Kaslana's excellent physique, Kiana jumped high and rushed towards the Honkai beast at a very fast speed. Soon, the opponent's head was within her attack range.
The white-haired girl held up the baseball bat, as if she was holding a sword of fire that would never go out.
boom--!
The metal-tipped baseball bat hit the back of the Honkai beast's head, and the heavy force made it stagger. The solid wood tail of the baseball bat also turned into fragments by this blow.
However, this level of attack was not fatal to the Honkai Beast. After being attacked, it felt a little pain and roared while stretching out a claw towards Kiana.
"I don't have time to waste with you!"
Kiana roared in a low voice, her eyes focused, and the light in her golden right eye flickered. She mobilized the power from the Herrscher of the Void, and squeezed out the little Honkai energy left in her body, condensing a Sub-Void Spear. Under her control, the Sub-Void Spear directly pierced the Honkai Beast's body.
The power from the Herrscher invaded the body of Honkai Beast in an instant, constantly destroying its body functions. The power of the Herrscher can be a gift or a poison to Honkai Beast.
The huge body of the Honkai Beast collapsed with a loud bang. Kiana rolled on the ground, then stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. She really had nothing left.
Then, Kiana turned to look at the little girl and smiled, "It's okay now."
The little girl looked at Kiana gratefully, then turned and ran away.
Kiana smiled and watched the little girl leave.
"Herrser of the Void, your power is quite useful."
[......] The Queen of the Sky took a deep breath, maintaining her dignity as the Queen of Honkai, and resisted the urge to utter Honkai curse words.
Now is not the time to be anxious. If we were to be anxious, we would just play into this guy's hands.
Therefore, the Herrscher of the Void chose to remain silent.
Kiana felt a little regretful that she didn't hear the Herrscher of the Sky's exasperated voice. She looked up at the sky. It was already night, and a crescent moon was hanging high in the sky. The silent moonlight was soft and cold, with a kind of quiet beauty.
Kiana shuddered subconsciously, as if she had noticed something. She looked back and her pupils suddenly shrank, as if she had been struck by lightning.
The Honkai beast she had just defeated was not dead, and now it staggered to its feet, with a light flashing in its pink and purple compound eyes. The huge Honkai beast roared and stomped the ground, swinging its claws at Kiana...
The Honkai beast, filled with anger, was very close to the girl.
Death was like a poisonous snake that had been watching for a long time. It saw the right moment and wrapped its cold shell around Kiana's body, strangling her neck tightly and giving her a strong feeling of suffocation.
Kiana had not fully recovered from the injuries she suffered yesterday, and after a day of running around and fighting, the Honkai energy in her body had long been depleted. Facing the sharp claws that were about to reach her, she was indeed no longer able to dodge.
Now Kiana had this feeling: Death was sitting in the corner aisle, in the dark, invisible to mortals, waiting for her patiently. Maybe soon it would stand up and say to her: Hey, let's go.
Kiana thought that this might be a little hasty, but she would not hesitate or delay.
Let's end it like this.
A feeling of relief rose in Kiana's heart, and she recalled the appearance of Teacher Himeko in her mind. Did Teacher Himeko also believe that she would die at that time?
Kiana didn't know, but perhaps she already had the answer in her heart.
She closed her eyes, waiting for death to come, but what she waited for was not the whisper of death, but a warm embrace.
"Huh?" Kiana was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes, and found it was that familiar face.
Gu Che smiled and said to Kiana, "You are too reckless, Miss Theresa. Look carefully, this is how the power of the Herrscher of the Void is used."
As he spoke, he made a move with his hand, and a huge imaginary hole appeared under the feet of the Honkai beast. The defenseless Honkai beast fell directly into the imaginary space and disappeared without even a scream.
exile.
Kiana was struck by lightning and quickly pushed Gu Che away, breaking away from his arms, her deep blue eyes filled with shock.
"Gu Che, how could you..."
If a stranger inexplicably displayed the power of the Herrscher of the Void in front of Kiana, then regardless of whether the other party was Kiana's savior, Kiana would have only one choice - to keep her distance and then interrogate the other party about the source of his power.
But perhaps because of the inexplicable affection in her heart, or perhaps because of last night's experience, Kiana did not react too intensely. She just took a step back, her eyes full of disbelief.
Kiana was sure that the ability Gu Che had just demonstrated was the power of the Herrscher of the Void.
But... the Herrscher's core is clearly still with her, and the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness is also with her. How did this man in front of her gain such power?
Kiana's heart was full of doubts and confusion, but when she looked into Gu Che's clear black pupils, the words she wanted to say were stuck at her lips, and she didn't know how to start.
Kiana opened her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but now, please follow me. This is not a suitable place to talk." Gu Che looked around and smiled at the girl.
You don't need to look to know that a collapse event has occurred here, and the Sky Patrol will arrive here soon.
Kiana was stunned for a moment, nodded, and was about to say something when she suddenly felt dizzy, as if a taut string suddenly broke. Kiana staggered and passed out.
...............
In a hotel in Xicheng District.
Kiana was awakened by a heavy knock on the door. She got up from the bed and looked outside the door with some confusion.
At this time, two unknown people in black were standing outside the door. They held a folder in their hands. While questioning Gu Che at the door, they wrote and drew on the paper in the folder with a pen.
"Name?"
"Otto."
"You don't look like a Westerner." the other party asked.
"My last name is Ao, and my given name is Tuo." Gu Che said calmly.
"gender?"
"Can't you see?" Gu Che was speechless.
"Gender?" the other party repeated the question, and the tone became a little heavier, which seemed to be a warning.
"Armed helicopter." Gu Che replied.
The black-clothed man across from him paused while writing. He looked up at Gu Che in disbelief, then his face hardened again and he warned, "Be serious."
"What, are you sexist?" Gu Che raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"The Chinese people don't recognize foreign genders," the man in black was obviously speechless, and said to his companion beside him, "Write male for gender."
"Do you have an ID?"
"No, I lost it when I was escaping from the Honkai beast." Gu Che replied, his face full of regret.
The person on the other side heard this, his eyes lit up, and he continued to ask: "What about hers?"
As he spoke, the other party pointed in the direction of Kiana, and Kiana quickly lowered her head, not daring to expose her face.
“Lost it, too.”
The man nodded and asked one last question: "What are you doing in Xicheng District?"
"See a doctor. She has some depression. Bring her here to see a doctor. This is her medical record from yesterday." Gu Che handed a folded white paper to the inspector. When it was handed to the inspector, there were already a few banknotes inside.
The man in black took it, pulled out a few banknotes, smiled disdainfully, and shook the banknotes in front of Gu Che.
"Okay, bribe the officials, arrest them, and send them back..."
"I don't have time to mess around with you!" Before the man could finish his words, a fist hit him in the face, causing him to faint and fall to the ground. Seeing this, his accomplice on the other side was about to draw his gun, but he was kicked in the face. Before he could even scream, he was punched in the abdomen again and also fell down.
Gu Che clapped his hands and smiled disdainfully.
Gu Che originally thought that Xier's combat experience would be of no use at all, but unexpectedly it would be particularly useful here.
Looking at Kiana who was still in a daze, he reminded her: "What are you looking at? Run!"
"Oh." Kiana quickly got up from the bed and ran out following Gu Che's steps.
At the same time, in the monitoring room of the hotel, Gray Snake stared at the boys and girls running in the corridor and sneered.
"Notify Raven, confirm the target's identity, and start the action."
The snake hunt has begun.
