"But the snacks are not to your liking?" Gu Che asked, feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at.
Kiana shook her head.
"Are you not satisfied with the portion?" Gu Che asked again.
Kiana shook her head again.
"......" Gu Che was silent, smiled helplessly, and said, "Qiana, you can ask anything you want to ask directly."
As if she had been pardoned, Kiana asked shyly, "What happened last night?"
"Your Herrscher awakened, but I suppressed it." Gu Che answered nonchalantly, as if he saw the worry in the girl's heart. He paused and added, "Fu Hua has probably consumed too much energy and has temporarily fallen into a deep sleep. She will be fine after a while. You don't have to worry too much, Kiana."
Kiana nodded and was silent for a moment before slowly asking, "You're not hurt, are you?"
"She's just a tsundere little sister. How can she have any fighting power?" Gu Che smiled, with a teasing tone in his voice. His pair of deep dark eyes stared at Kiana's eyes, as if he could see through them the Herrscher consciousness in Kiana's consciousness.
Kiana knows the character of the Herrscher of the Sky very well. The noble Queen of the Sky will not allow herself to be belittled or questioned, and she will bring divine punishment upon those who are disrespectful. Even though she doesn't even have free control over her body now, it does not affect her ability to talk nonsense or hold grudges.
At this time, she should say something harsh, and give up control of her body to teach Gu Che a lesson, right?
Kiana thought to herself, but her thoughts were soon shattered.
The Herrscher of the Void did respond, but it was not the response she expected, but...
【Humph. 】
It was just a light hum, as if it said nothing, but also as if it said everything.
Kiana:? ? ?
Kiana just felt a little bit unbelievable. Is this in accordance with Zhou Li? Queen of the Sky, where is your nobility, where is your dignity?
What's up with this almost tacit attitude?
Kiana felt that her worldview seemed to be slightly impacted. She stretched out her white fingers and pressed her temples, praying that this action could heal her swollen head.
She is a little confused now and needs some time to calm down.
"Look at your expression, Qiana. Do you believe me now?" Gu Che smiled. "I've already said that I'm Xilin's brother. Even if I'm not from this world, I'm still her brother."
"What's more, she also has the memories of another Xilin, doesn't she?" Gu Che asked with a smile.
"..." Kiana nodded silently, and couldn't help wondering in her heart, if she could have met Gu Che earlier, would the outcome of the matter be different from now.
At least this way, Teacher Jizi won't die...
Kiana's eyes couldn't help but dim a little. A hand was placed on her shoulder. She raised her head and met Gu Che's gaze.
"Let's have breakfast first."
Kiana's pupils flickered and she nodded.
All the past is a prologue.
Chapter 97: Xilin, be good
Rita Losweiser still remembers the conversation she had with Bishop Otto a few days ago.
That day, she was trying to stalk the cicada while trying to mantis catch the cicada, but was tricked by the oriole hiding behind the scenes. Not only did she fail to obtain any information about the Herrscher of the Void, she also failed to successfully capture the people from the Far East Branch who had defected, and she also lost the artificial eye that she had snatched from the Gray Snake for the highest authority authentication. She returned to the Sentence Headquarters in disgrace to treat her injuries.
Otto paid close attention to this. You know, Rita is one of the few S-class Valkyries in Destiny. Although there is still some gap compared to Yulandel and the dormant Li Suchang, she is also an S-class Valkyrie.
"Skydome City..." Otto sat in the bishop's office, tapping the wine glass with his fingers. There was no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Otto was feeling a little irritated. He had been planning for more than ten years to gain the power of the Herrscher of the Void. However, a few months ago, when his plan was about to succeed, his most beloved granddaughter Theresa led a rebellion, disrupting his plan and causing the Herrscher of the Void to go missing.
After finally receiving the information about the Herrscher of the Void, to be on the safe side, he specially sent Rita Rossweisse, one of the two S-rank Valkyries currently active in Skymanagement, to Sky City, thinking that this must be a sure thing, but he didn't expect that it would still fail.
The dignified S-class Valkyrie of Tianming was unexpectedly intercepted by a mysterious man. Not only was she injured, she returned to Tianming in disgrace, and even the electronic prosthetic eye she got from the World Serpent was stolen.
Otto was somewhat disappointed by the setback of Destiny in Sky City, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, Destiny's strongest Valkyrie, Yulandel, was busy on a mission and had no time to take care of the situation in Sky City. Otto had to settle for the second best and once again trusted Rita, asking her to continue to go to Sky City to follow up the investigation.
Of course, the focus of this investigation has shifted somewhat.
The whereabouts of the Herrscher of the Void became a side quest, and the main quest was updated to investigate the details of the World Snake in Sky City.
"Rita, I hope you won't let me down."
"...Yes," the elegant maid in Otto's office bowed slightly and agreed after a moment of silence, "Rita will not disappoint the bishop's expectations."
It was already evening, and the huge transport ship had stopped under the thick clouds at some point. Below was a barren land, and not far away was a brightly lit cyber city.
Rita stopped thinking about her conversation with the bishop, shook her head, and prepared to carry out her mission.
"Alvette, I'll go connect with the people from the God City Medical Center first. You lead the members of the Immortal Blade to investigate the clues about the collapse in this city. If you find anything wrong, please report to me in time. If you find any news about the Herrscher of the Void or the World Serpent members, be sure to notify me." After assigning the task to her most trusted subordinate, Rita jumped directly from the transport ship and disappeared into the night.
At this time, Rita had already changed into the Blue Knight Moon Soul. With the help of the cold particle stream sprayed out by the armor, Rita landed smoothly and maintained her elegance.
...........................
"Archer, if what you said is true, then I can't just sit here and wait to die," Kiana stood up from the sofa, looking anxious, but was pushed back by Gu Che who looked helpless.
"Hey, don't worry, don't worry. Now the Destiny is in contact with the World Serpent. Your appearance in the field of vision will have a certain impact on the situation." Gu Che said, "Based on the current situation, at least the Destiny and the World Serpent are on opposite sides. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let the bullets fly for a while."
"But, but..." Kiana wanted to say something and opened her mouth. Before she could finish her words, her mouth was blocked by the apple handed to her by Gu Che. She could only make a grunting sound, which, combined with her heterochromatic pupils that were slightly dilated due to surprise, was quite cute.
"After all, we have to strike hard against our enemies, and we have to be willing to help our friends with all our heart and soul." Gu Che smiled mysteriously, his firm eyes carrying an unquestionable meaning. Kiana did not continue to pester him, but ate her apple obediently and listened to Gu Che silently.
"Don't worry, Kiana, I will inform you if there is any situation, and it won't be too late for you to take action then," Gu Che said, inexplicably thinking of the goal of this main mission.
[Act 1: Sky Meteor: Find out the hidden crisis in Sky City and solve it.]
Although Gu Che still had some doubts about the "hidden crisis" mentioned in the mission objective, he gradually had some clues.
In the three-party game, Anti-Entropy left the stage early. Currently, there are only two forces left in Sky City, World Serpent and Destiny. With the addition of Kiana, a free man, the situation has gradually become clear.
Since the main character's target is Kiana, the development of things is bound to be inseparable from Kiana. As long as I keep paying attention to Kiana, everything will eventually come to light.
According to the information Gu Che has now, the World Serpent's Stigma Plan is to use the entire Sky City as an experimental subject, and stimulate the emergence of Stigma Awakeners by injecting a special anti-Honkai Energy Activator. This is indeed a big crisis, but Gu Che always feels that if the standard answer is like this, it seems to be missing something...
This feeling is just like when doing reading comprehension in high school, most of the answers copied from the original text will not get full marks. The answers that are clearly stated are often not the best answers.
After all, although the World Snake's method is indeed effective, it is still too slow in terms of efficiency alone.
Even the raw materials for the activator still need the help of destiny. I am afraid that this plan will be forced to stop halfway through its implementation due to the discovery of destiny.
But if it's not this, then what is it...
Gu Che pondered over it, but could not come up with the correct answer. There was only one piece missing to open the final door. As long as he found it, everything would be clear.
"Kiana, how is your use of power?" Gu Che asked.
"Hmm, it's not as hard as before." Kiana ate an apple, thought for a moment, and replied, "Sora... Xilin's pressure on me is not as severe as before. My current condition is much better than before."
When talking about the Herrscher of the Void, Kiana seemed to realize something and quickly changed her name to Xilin. Then she secretly glanced at Gu Che's reaction and found that the other party didn't care, so she felt relieved.
[Hmph, you're smart.] The Herrscher of the Void's voice sounded in her ears, but Kiana ignored it.
Gu Che nodded: "That's good, Rita has already contacted the World Serpent, I will go over there to calm the situation first, remember to pay attention to my information."
After saying this, Gu Che paused, added a sentence, and then disappeared from the spot:
"Xilin, be good."
Chapter 98: World Snake, you are too arrogant!
In the industrial area of Shencheng Medicine, a gray-haired woman wearing a black cloak welcomed Rita, the distinguished guest from heaven.
"Welcome to the industrial zone, Ms. Rita. I am Xiola, the consultant assigned by Shencheng Pharmaceutical to the Shenzhou branch." Raven introduced himself, "This time, I will greet you and accompany you for observation."
Rita smiled: "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Xiola."
The staff responsible for the cargo handover quickly began to transfer the materials.
Everything went smoothly, and Rita was in a good mood. She fixed her eyes on the underground buildings in the industrial zone and asked the raven walking beside her: "During the transportation of materials, I wonder if Ms. Xiola can allow me to visit the industrial zone? After all, 30,000 Honkai inhibitors is not a small number, and Tianming attaches great importance to it. What's more, I am also somewhat interested..."
"Of course, Miss Rita, you can do whatever you want, but remember not to affect the workers' work." Raven responded with a smile, not worrying at all about the possibility of the World Snake being exposed.
Raven said this with confidence. Although Shencheng Pharmaceutical is an industry of World Snake, it is at least an open enterprise. The surface work is naturally done very well, and the important content is not displayed in the open at all. No matter how much Rita investigates, she can't find any problems.
The industrial zone is not just a building, the entire underground is almost hollowed out, and without the guidance of professionals, it is impossible to find the hidden laboratory. Moreover, Rita can't spend all her time on this inefficient investigation method, and time doesn't allow her to do so.
This is indeed the case. With the joint efforts of the staff and the Kamishiro Pharmaceutical Robot, all 30,000 Honkai energy inhibitors were sent to the Kamishiro Pharmaceutical Industrial Zone and packaged. Rita did not obtain any useful information during this period of time. Although there was always a sense of incongruity in her heart, Rita did not find any useful information, so she could only give up and temporarily give up this plan.
At the same time, the Immortal Blade team on standby on the EOS also sneaked into Sky City under the cover of night and started their own investigation.
"I didn't expect the design here to be so unique, with Egyptian-style buildings and an administrative building that looks like a pyramid... It's really amazing."
"It's just the boss's personal hobby," Raven shook his head and smiled helplessly. "Speaking of which, we really have to thank Tianming for the raw materials. The medicines produced here will not only be supplied to Tianqiong City, but will also be shipped all over the world."
"Hehe," Rita smiled elegantly, "This time when I came to Shenzhou, Tianming also hopes to get help from your company. You have a close relationship with the medical system in this city. I want to check the medical records related to the Honkai energy leak in the past five months..."
The surveillance cameras in the industrial area were flashing red lights, silently recording the conversation between the two. Gu Che shifted his gaze from the surveillance video to the person standing next to him.
"Rita is smart. She even knows how to check medical records." Gu Che complained, "She is indeed a S-rank Valkyrie of destiny."
"But doing this will only yield some information about the Herrscher of the Void, and it's outdated information. I don't think it has any value." Gray Snake was still wearing his signature black robe. In the dim room, his artificial eyes flashed red and looked even more creepy. He held an umbrella and commented, "By the way, you've fought her before. How was the result?"
"If we try our best, it'll be a 50-50 split." Gu Che thought about it and said uncertainly.
Gray Snake tilted his head, his red artificial eye flickering, with a clear "I don't believe it" meaning: "As far as I know, the last time you fought her, you won."
"Yeah," Gu Che spread his hands and said in a teasing tone, "That's why I said it's fifty-fifty. I used all my strength and hit five of her in five minutes, and she was torn apart."
???
Gray Snake's artificial eye flashed red, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized. So Wuwukai has this intention. Let's update the database first.
"Speaking of the Gray Snake..."
Gu Che's voice brought Gray Snake back to his senses. Gray Snake seemed a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your umbrella is your true body, right?" Gu Che blurted out.
?
Gray Snake's calculations were temporarily stuck. In all his life, this was the first time he had heard someone ask him this question. His thoughts were too jumpy and he was unable to react for a while.
"Why do you ask?"
"Think about it, you carry an umbrella wherever you go. It was like this when you tried to win me over, and it was also like this when you were in contact with the Destiny. You've changed your body several times, but the umbrella is still there."
Listening to Gu Che's methodical analysis, Huishe suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen on the Internet -
what?
..............
Rita walked out of the industrial zone of Shencheng Pharmaceutical. Although it was a pity that she did not find the problem of Shencheng Pharmaceutical directly, she still found some valuable information.
In a blind spot where surveillance cameras couldn't reach, Rita connected with Alvette.
Among the nearly 4,000 records classified into 35 Honkai events provided to her by Shencheng Medical, one of them recorded a witness who saw a young girl fighting a Honkai beast at the scene of the Honkai event, although this witness was later diagnosed with "post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Alvette, you did a great job. I will praise you in front of Lady Yulandel."
“Hehehe…” Alvette’s smug giggle came from the other end of the line, and then she became serious again, “Speaking of which, Vice Captain, during the investigation of the victims, I found some glowing marks left on the backs of some of the dead soldiers. They looked like stigmata.”
"Stigmata?" Rita frowned. "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Today, the stigmata technology is completely in the hands of Destiny. It is precisely because of the existence of the stigmata that Destiny has so many outstanding Valkyries, although most of the stigmata equipped by the Valkyries are artificial stigmata developed by Destiny.
"I definitely won't be wrong." Alvette said affirmatively.
As Rita's most trusted subordinate, Yvette would naturally take her words seriously. Moreover, if what Yvette said was true, it would prove...
The core technology of Destiny - the Stigma Technology has been leaked.
"If this is true, then Shencheng Pharmaceutical is highly suspected," Rita instructed Alvette, "Alvette, immediately conduct a geographic penetration of Shencheng Pharmaceutical's industrial area."
"Yes!"
Soon, when Alvette's report was placed in front of Rita, the elegant maid had a sneer on her face, looking confident of victory.
Rita had only one thought in her mind:
The World Snake is way too arrogant.
Chapter 99: Go and catch Kiana!
Rita held a rough perspective map in her hand, which was a structural analysis diagram of the underground pharmaceutical industrial zone in Shencheng.
