Mei's heart tightened. Although she was panicked, she immediately cheered herself up in her heart.

Come on, I can do it, I can do it!

But before she could even think of it, a glowing sickle enlarged in her vision...

Mei's pupils shrank, and the katana blocked the sickle's attack. There was no deflection. Mei took the heavy blow and took a few steps back before she could steady herself.

Feeling the numbness in her arms, Mei felt a little frustrated.

There is indeed a gap between S-level and B-level that is difficult to cross, and this gap cannot be bridged by faith.

She, Mei Raiden, is just a B-class Valkyrie. She can do nothing in front of an S-class...

Chapter 93: Miss Theresa, you don’t want to...

clang--

Rita seemed a little bored after blocking Mei's counterattack.

"Let me think, did Theresa and the others ask you to hold me back?" Rita said like a superior.

The elegant dancer danced the sickle in her hand into a knife flower and asked with a smile.

"..." Mei remained silent, but her silence seemed like the correct answer. Rita understood and smiled gently. The silver light shone on her gray-gold short hair, making her look even more elegant and charming.

But Mei didn't think so. Sweat was beating down her forehead. The intense fighting had made the muscles in her hands sore. She also had multiple knife wounds on her body, but none of them were fatal. Bright blood slowly flowed out of the wounds and stained the surrounding clothes.

Mei was breathing heavily, calculating the duration of the battle and her remaining physical strength in her mind. She felt a little frustrated. Although she didn't want to admit it, perhaps she had reached her limit.

At this time, she was already somewhat exhausted. It was still a bit far-fetched for her to fight against the active S-class Valkyrie with her B-class strength. Only after a real battle could she know how terrifying the S-class Valkyrie was. Even though the remaining Houkai energy of the Conquest Gem in her body was still supporting her actions, she was still a little overwhelmed.

Rita also put away her playful mentality. Even though she was fighting with a playful attitude, she was somewhat embarrassed to be dragged down for so long by a B-rank Valkyrie.

If this goes wrong later, I will be too embarrassed to turn back.

"I didn't expect you could hold on for so long, but it's time to end it." Rita said, and rushed towards Mei with a sickle, ready to end the battle in one go.

This time, Rita put away her playful mentality and just wanted to resolve the battle quickly, then rush in to arrest the remaining two people and bring them to justice. By the way, she could also get the information about the Herrscher of the Sky, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. By then, the bishop would also praise her intelligence.

There is no point in being brave, struggling only brings pain, and weakness is the original sin.

Rita swung the sickle at Mei, who was already exhausted. The sharp blade cut through her flesh, and blood spurted out, sprinkling on the concrete ground in spots.

But the blood did not come from Mei, but from Rita herself.

Intense pain spread through Rita's body along the wound, and strong anger filled Rita's heart. She pressed the wound on her shoulder and looked in the direction of the attack with disbelief.

"Ms. Mei, you are still a little reckless," said Gu Che, who was wearing a white dove mask, with a teasing tone, "Why not quit while you are ahead? What's the point of fighting to the death with the Valkyrie of Destiny?"

Mei Raiden looked at him with gratitude. Although she didn't know how Gu Che appeared here, he saved her after all. She thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Bai Jue."

Gu Che waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's a small matter, remember to pay more."

Mei's smile froze suddenly. Please give me back the feeling I have felt for you!

"You are so bold as to interfere with the work of the Valkyrie." Feeling the burning pain from the wound, Rita suppressed the anger in her heart, clenched the sickle in her hand, and spoke with anger and dissatisfaction in her tone.

Just now, if she hadn't reacted quickly, perhaps the injury would not only be to her shoulder... Thinking of the attack just now, Rita was still a little frightened. She didn't react at all. When she realized the crisis, her body's subconscious instinct saved her life.

"Is the job of the Valkyrie to fight against ordinary citizens in Sky City, and to damage other people's property and infrastructure for no reason?" Gu Che asked as he looked at the debris all around him.

"..." Rita was speechless for a moment, and became more wary of Gu Che.

A guy who hides his head but shows his sharp tongue... she thought to herself.

"Cleaning up the battlefield is also the maid's job. Destiny will send someone to deal with it afterwards, so please don't worry, Mr. Baijiu." Rita smiled, "But it seems that you have become my cleaning target now."

"Do you have the ability to clean me up?" Gu Che asked. As a S-class Valkyrie of destiny, Rita's information had long been in the World Snake's database. For Gu Che, as a cadre, it was not difficult to obtain this information. Moreover, the condition for him to agree to recruit World Snake was World Snake's information, so he would know more about the general cadres of World Snake.

A mere S-level floor is not a difficult task for Gu Che to deal with.

Now that he possesses all the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, this is the complete him, the complete Gu Che!

After giving Lei Dian Mei a slight hint, Lei Dian Mei immediately understood what he meant. Just as she was about to leave the battlefield, she was stopped by Gu Che.

The man in the white dove mask said to her, "Lend me your sword."

"???"

.......

Rita watched Raiden Mei leave, not because she didn't want to, but mainly because she couldn't stop her. The man wearing a white dove mask was staring at her from the side, and judging from the sudden attack just now, this was an opponent that should not be underestimated.

"Are you from the World Serpent?" Rita frowned, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Yes or no, I think Miss Rita has her own judgment," Gu Che spread his hands, "After all, whether I am a member of the World Snake or not, our hostile relationship will not change since I rescued Raiden Mei and let her go."

"Or, Miss Rita is ready to put aside the past grudges and let me go?" Gu Che took the katana from Raiden Mei's hand, danced with the sword casually, and tried the feel of it. It felt pretty good.

"Hehe," Rita was amused. The wound on her shoulder was still sending her pain signals and bright red blood was flowing out of the wound. Is it possible for her to let the other person go now?

"I'm afraid that's not possible, Mr. Bai Jue. I think Tianming should be very interested in you. Could you please give up your resistance and be my guest?"

Gu Che sighed, with some helplessness in his tone: "It seems that we have nothing to talk about."

Why, why do you force me?

Although he was concerned about Otto's existence, Gu Che did not want to expose his abilities too early unless it was necessary. Even though he had already been exposed to the World Serpent, it was a necessary sacrifice. Besides, the World Serpent and Destiny were not in cahoots, so there was no need to worry too much.

Besides, Rita is just a nobody and there is no need for him to use his power at all.

There was no further verbal probing. The two people with different positions could not reach a reconciliation after all. After a while, the metallic clanging sound of the collision between the sword and the sickle could be heard on the street. Fortunately, the residents on the street had already been evacuated, otherwise it would have caused a certain degree of panic.

In the first confrontation, neither of them gained any advantage. Gu Che, who did not use the assistance of his power, was somewhat restrained and could not adapt to such a battle rhythm for a while. Rita was even more surprised. She felt the numbness from the hand holding the sickle and realized how difficult her opponent was.

Rita didn't get any benefit from a simple test of strength. You know, she is Rita Rossweisse, the destined S-class Valkyrie!

Rita silently increased her vigilance against the World Serpent and decided to explain the matter to the bishop as soon as the battle was over.

Gu Che was in a good mood. Although he was still a little uncomfortable with the combination of Taixu Sword Qi and Kaslana's physical fighting style, it was not useless. In the past, he always followed the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble. Generally, he would use power when he could, and run away when he couldn't.

The practice of Taixu sword energy has been neglected, and now is the time to pick it up again.

Gu Che was eager to try and exerted slight force on his steps.

boom--

As the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, Gu Che's body shot out like an arrow from a bow, and the cold light of the sword flashed, and once again clashed with the sickle...

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

After a long period of cracking, Bronya finally broke through the network blockade of the Gray Snake's stronghold and found the information hidden here.

"Is this guy really a lunatic? He actually collected all the network information of Sky City." Bronya frowned, her face full of confusion, "More importantly, Gray Snake didn't even organize it at all. There is no classification, label, index... All the information is a mess."

Hearing Bronya's words, Theresa, who was on guard at the side, felt her heart sink slightly: "Is there no information about Kiana?"

"Maybe, but it will take me at least several days to find it, and it will take even longer to migrate it." Bronya kept looking for information about Kiana in the massive database, but with little success. "As an intelligence dealer, Gray Snake's unfiltered intelligence collection method is really too strange."

"Unless he has a more efficient processing terminal - found it, this is..." As Bronya moved, the door of the base slowly opened, and a little girl appeared in front of the two.

Theresa was surprised. How could there be a child in such a place? But she quickly realized that this little girl was connected to a lot of tubes...

"This is a cyborg. Just like the transformation Gray Snake made to himself, most of this little girl's body has also been transformed..." Bronya explained patiently while trying to crack it using the biochip, but she failed.

The humanoid machine's brain has been completely transformed and fitted with a quantum computer, giving it amazing computing power, so it's no wonder that the Gray Snake doesn't do information processing.

Can't crack because there is no core permission.

Theresa, who prided herself on being good at getting along with children, asked the humanoid machine, "Do you know anything about Kiana?"

"Without the master's permission, I am not qualified to use the database." The humanoid machine shook its head and refused. "Besides, I don't have time to answer questions from children. Let your adults come. The payment standard is according to the usual practice."

Teresa:? ? ?

"Kid?! You...you are so rude. I am... " Feeling the touch on her shoulder, Theresa closed her mouth. Now was not the time to care about this.

"Then use this to pay the bill." Seeing that Theresa's emotions had calmed down, Bronya raised the cannon towards the humanoid machine and said expressionlessly.

Humanoid:......

"Then I'll send a message to Mei..." After temporarily solving the problem of the humanoid machine, Theresa was ready to let Mei, who was out gathering intelligence, return, but before she could finish her words, a familiar voice came from not far away, causing her to stop what she was doing.

"No, that's not necessary, Dean, I'm here already." Mei Raiden was not in very good condition. The battle just now had consumed her a lot.

"Mei, are you okay?" Theresa saw Mei's condition and asked with concern.

Mei shook her head and cast a grateful look at Gu Che: "I ran into a little trouble. Thanks to Mr. Bai Yu for helping me out. Otherwise, I might not be able to get out of it unscathed."

Gu Che had just experienced a battle. Although he had more injuries than before, it didn't seem to have much impact on him. He still looked calm and composed.

Oh, an S-rank Valkyrie. Even though she’s an enemy, she’s not bad.

"It's a small matter. Remember to add the money. This is the medical expenses incurred to save you." Gu Che said calmly. As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Theresa. "I guess the mature and steady dean doesn't want to be on the list of dishonest people, right?"

Theresa gritted her teeth. She always felt that the masked man in front of her exuded an unpleasant aura, as if he owed her a lot of money before.

"I'll pass it on to you later." Theresa gritted her teeth, thinking that this was a necessary sacrifice to find Kiana. She kept comforting herself, and then, as if she had noticed something, she reminded the three-no girl beside her, "Bronya, put away your artillery."

Bronya took it back expressionlessly, looking a little awkward and uncomfortable.

As soon as I mentioned paying the bill, I unconsciously took out my gun...

Gu Che looked at the gray-haired double-helix girl in front of him, and seemed a little curious. He still asked the question in his mind:

"By the way, your name is Bronya, right?" Gu Che looked at the gray-haired girl, thought about it, and asked his question.

Bronya-Sanwu looked puzzled and tilted her head.

"Siberians?"

Bronya didn't answer, "Do you know Bronya?"

"No, maybe I know your mother." Gu Che shook his head and smiled, as if his thoughts were back to that icy and snowy place, where a gray-haired woman took in the fleeing brother and sister, gave them bread and hot water, and gave them warm coats before they left...

"Is it Cocolia?" Bronya frowned and asked in confusion.

"No, it's your biological mother."

Bronya: ( ? ? ? )

Chapter 94: First Meeting with the Queen of the Sky

"You mean Rita attacked Theresa and others, tried to steal the humanoid machine, but failed in the end?" Gu Che asked with interest, holding the communication device and pointing to the other side of the device.

"That's right. I didn't say anything wrong, and you didn't hear anything wrong." Gray Snake's voice came from the other end of the communication device, confirming Gu Che's question.

"What happens after that?"

"After Rita's fight failed, she decided to destroy the humanoid machine, but the electronic prosthetic eye in her hand had already been taken away by you," Gray Snake's voice was still mechanical without any warmth, "so she chose to attack directly, but due to Theresa's obstruction, the humanoid machine only suffered some injuries."

Gu Che unconsciously recalled what Otto had said during the first simulation:

You should try your best to give the enemy what he fears, and leave nothing for what he wants.

"But at least it has caused some trouble for Anti-Entropy, hasn't it?" Gu Che asked back, "The plan is going as you expected, Gray Snake, you should be happy."

"White magpie, you did a great job." Gray Snake praised, "Now everyone in Anti-Entropy has received a call from Cocolia and is discussing heading to Haiyuan City."

"Haiyuan City?" Gu Che was puzzled.

"If you are curious, you can check the database of Anti-Entropy yourself. I won't go into details," Gray Snake paused and continued, "White Porcupine, you just need to know that the snake will return."

"Believe me, you won't regret your decision to join the World Snake." After saying that, Gray Snake hung up the communication.

Hearing the busy tone on the communication device, Gu Che sighed. He had originally wanted to ask Gray Snake for a salary increase based on his outstanding performance.

Forget it, let’s talk about it next time.

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

[Main quest: Elegy for the Sinner. ]

[Act 1: Sky Meteor: Find out the hidden crisis in Sky City and solve it.]

Gu Che sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Now that he has joined the World Serpent, he has gained some understanding of the World Serpent's plans.

Project Stigmata - a project currently being carried out by World Serpent in Skydome City.

Sacrifice the vast majority of humans and save the remaining people who have awakened the stigmata. Because of its nature, it basically wipes out human sensibility and only retains rationality, thus preventing the birth of Herrscher. Through the stigmata space, all stigmata holders can share the Honkai energy, thus completely eliminating Honkai.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, this is the essence of the Stigmata plan currently being carried out by the World Snake.
