At this time, the waiter also returned with a cup of cappuccino: "This is the cappuccino you ordered."
Put it down, then turn around gracefully, the waiter waved his hand, without taking away a cloud.
Anna picked up the coffee, took a sip, and listened carefully to the boy opposite her.
"......That's about it. I'll have to trouble Miss Anna from now on." Gu Che smiled.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Anna seemed very excited, patted her big chest, her face full of confidence.
"Well, to commemorate this moment, may I take a photo with Miss Anna?" Gu Che asked.
"of course can."
After getting the photo with Anna, Gu Che had nothing to do, so he took out his communication device and found the friend interface of [Night Owl]. A funny smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
【White Pomeranian: Have you eaten, my friend? 】
[Night Owl: I haven’t eaten yet. I’m on a mission. We’ll chat next time.]
【白鳩: I just had afternoon tea. Can you guess who I had it with? 】
[Night Owl: I’m not a person who likes gossip.]
【“White Dove” sent a picture to “Night Owl”. 】
[Bai Jue: How about my new bodyguard? Does he look good? 】
[Bai Jue: Then go on the mission with peace of mind. I am here with the World Snake, so you don't have to worry. ]
There was no movement from the other end. Gu Che waited for a while but received no reply. He smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Gu Che, what happened?" Anna looked at Gu Che curiously and asked.
"Oh, nothing. I just took some time to tease my colleagues." Gu Che smiled brightly, obviously in a good mood.
"My colleague is really something. He has a strong execution ability. He goes to work as soon as he says he will. Now he is too busy to reply to my message. Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Just as he was complaining, he suddenly felt the communication device vibrate. Gu Che looked closely and saw that the real owner had sent a message.
[Night Owl:? ]
[Night Owl: ???]
【Night Owl: Where are you? 】
Gu Che stared at the screen. The cold light flickering from the electronic screen shone on his face, revealing a happy smile that he could not suppress at this moment.
Urgent, urgent.
It was a lovely smile of a happy person. If one really had to use an allegorical saying to describe his mood at this moment, it would probably be like Melody riding in a convertible - having so much fun.
But... hold it in, hold it in. You are still outside now. If you want to be happy, go back and enjoy it secretly.
Thinking of this, he looked at Anna. The girl's eyes met his, which seemed a little unnatural.
"Mr. Gu Che?"
"Miss Anna, what dessert would you like? This afternoon tea would be a perfect match only if it is paired with dessert." Gu Che handed over the menu with a smile.
"Hmm... let me see." Girls have no resistance to desserts, and Anna is no exception.
Looking at the chestnut-haired girl who was frowning in thought, Gu Che couldn't help but smile.
That’s it for now, let’s eat first.
..............................
Chen Tianwu never thought that the next time he would get news from Anna would be in this situation.
The girl in the photo is still as beautiful as I remember. No, perhaps I should add "even more" before beautiful.
After not seeing each other for two years, Anna has now become a mature Valkyrie and the captain of the Snow Wolf Team. He, who was the "rescued person" back then, has also become a cadre of the World Serpent.
Chen Tianwu once thought about meeting Anna to fulfill their unfulfilled appointment, but he couldn't because he was a cadre of the World Snake. He could just watch from afar. That was fine.
But...
Chen Tianwu looked at the picture sent to him by his colleague Bai Yu with astonishment on his face. He stood there in a daze. The cold wind blew his black hair. Chen Tianwu's brain completely crashed and was messy in the wind.
Chen Tianwu came to his senses only after the chicken had pecked all the rice and the dog had licked all the noodles. With trembling hands, he took out his communication equipment and typed frantically at a speed unmatched by ordinary people.
There’s no way he can attend this crappy class that belonged to his great-grandfather!
He came here to work so that he could make a living and get news about Anna at the same time. Now that Anna is here, it doesn’t matter whether he attends this class or not!
I want to return home now, I want to take a vacation now! I want to see Anna now!
Although I don't know what happened, Chen Tianwu still wants to say one thing -
White pigeon, your great-grandfather's, stay away from Anna!
Chapter 145: Man-made Law Maker?
Although the World Snake's base is located in a remote area, it has a complete range of functions. There is a research area for scientific research, a logistics area responsible for logistical support, a test area for weapons and equipment testing, and even a leisure area responsible for providing leisure and entertainment for personnel.
At this moment, in this leisure area, a group of children were discussing something a little excitedly.
"My teacher is good at fighting!"
"My brother can do that, too!"
"My teacher has fought Honkai Beast!"
"My brother did it too!"
“My teacher can mix drinks!”
“My brother can cook!”
The black-haired boy stood aside, leaning against the wall. He did not choose to disturb them. Instead, he watched the children's competition silently, with a faint smile on his lips.
The purple-haired little angel Sirin was arguing with a child about the strength of the guardians of both parties. The discussion on this issue was tense and the two children were red in the face. Kiana stood silently beside Sirin, paying close attention to Sirin's situation, just like a guardian.
Gu Che knew the child who had quarreled with Xilin. He was one of the children adopted by Raven from the Nest. At this moment, Xiaokong was pulling her aside, persuading her to "forget it", but the child seemed to have turned a deaf ear to him. She was obviously too angry and didn't want the teacher who adopted her to be outdone by another brother!
Xilin naturally didn't want to be outdone. She might be stupid and she might not be able to cook, but when it came to enumerating her brother's strengths, she believed that she would not lose to anyone!
The competition became intense. The child was at a loss for words, blushing and thinking for a long time. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he confidently said, "My teacher's island can fly!"
"..." The little angel Xilin blinked her golden eyes, as if she was thinking of the scene of the island flying. Her little heart was greatly shocked and she fell silent for a rare moment.
She believed that her brother did not have a flying island, but he did have a flying dragon. So Xilin looked at Bella who was watching the battle and opened her mouth, about to continue the debate with the child, but she saw that the child's eyes changed from pride to astonishment in an instant.
"Old, teacher?!"
Xilin looked back and saw Raven with a gloomy face and Gu Che standing behind Raven and grinning.
"Brother!" Xilin immediately threw herself into Gu Che's arms, rubbing her head against his chest like a baby animal, looking extremely happy.
"Xilin, my dear Xilin." Gu Che just smiled dotingly and stroked Xilin's head like he was petting a cat.
"Hehe(*^▽^*)." Xilin smiled with satisfaction.
Previously, Gu Che did not bring these little ones with him because he went out. Xilin has not seen her brother for a day and misses him very much!
Bella and Kiana were a little slow to react, and only came over now, with joy in their eyes, but there was a hint of complexity in Kiana's eyes.
The white-haired girl took a quick look at the Queen of the Sky in her consciousness space and found that she had a similar expression to hers. Only Fu Hua next to her still looked interested in the show, which made Kiana feel helpless.
No, the monitor didn’t seem to be so gossipy before. What happened?
But now this doesn't seem to be a big problem. The big problem is...
Two Celine!
The dead Second Herrschers suddenly attacked me en masse!
Judging from the Queen of the Sky's reaction, it was obvious that she had never seen such a thing before. And looking at the intimacy between Gu Che and Xilin, the Queen of the Sky had an inexplicable feeling - Oh no, I've become a substitute!
"Ms. Xiola, I didn't expect you to come back so early." After greeting Kiana and Bella, Gu Che joked to Raven, his tone full of teasing, and even the raised corners of his mouth showed no intention of concealing it.
The island can fly. Haha, although it’s not very polite, it’s really funny.
"Children's words are innocent. Don't take them too seriously." Gu Che tried to comfort the raven. "Snakes in our world are thriving recently. I think you will be able to buy a villa island in a few years. Miss Xiola, I believe in you."
"Gu Che, can you stop mentioning the villa island?" The raven smiled with narrowed eyes, revealing a dangerous aura. If it was in the Far East animation, perhaps the image of the raven at this time should be red eyes with black gas special effects.
"Well, you know me. I have always been a very steady person. Just like just now, I was protecting the innocence of these children."
So you didn't stop it, right? Raven's mouth twitched.
"Putting aside my island, you have done a great job." Raven thought of the business and became serious. His wine-red eyes stared at Gu Che with seriousness.
....................
"Artificial Law Enforcer?" Kevin and Gu Che sat opposite each other in the room of the World Serpent Leader. When Kevin heard the word coming out of Gu Che's mouth, he raised his eyebrows slightly and repeated the term with interest.
"Yes, I checked the database of the World Serpent and learned some information about the rulers of the previous and current civilizations. Although the information about the previous civilization is still a bit fragmentary, it does not affect my conclusion..." Having said that, Gu Che looked at Kevin, paused for a moment and continued,
"The Herrschers of today's civilization are very similar to the Herrschers of your time, but they also have differences."
Kevin picked up the red wine and took a sip. It must be said that Otto's taste is really good, and the red wine he bought is all high-end.
Kevin had no intention of responding, as he knew Gu Che had not finished speaking.
"Although I don't know what caused this change, a very important point is human nature, right?" Gu Che looked at Kevin and said with a smile.
Although it was a question, it seemed more like a question asked despite knowing the answer.
"Yes, the Herrschers of the previous civilization did not have humanity, but the Herrschers of today do." Kevin took the initiative to conceal some information and said calmly.
At least, most of what Gu Che said was correct, and Kevin didn't want to correct him because there was no need.
"And it seems that this is the reason that leads to the peculiarity of the Herrscher of this era." Gu Che continued, "After the Honkai consciousness selects a successful Herrscher body, it cannot directly control the Herrscher's actions, but instead chooses the following two methods in a roundabout way -"
"First, by directly communicating with the Herrscher's body, induce the other party to fulfill the Herrscher's mission." Gu Che stretched out a finger.
"Second, if the communication fails or the Herrscher body cannot be convinced, the Honkai consciousness will induce the Herrscher body to produce a Herrscher consciousness loyal to Honkai, and use the Herrscher consciousness to seize the body to make the Herrscher body fulfill its mission as a Herrscher."
"I personally think there is room for maneuver here." Gu Che said with a smile.
Chapter 146 Anna falls into self-blame
Anna Shaniyat, the A-rank Valkyrie of destiny, the Herrscher body of the future fifth Herrscher - the Herrscher of Ice.
According to the original world line, the fifth collapse broke out on the coral island where the Snow Lotus team was stationed, and Anna was chosen as the fifth Herrscher.
Although Anna tried her best to resist the erosion of Honkai, she still destroyed her own team in the chaos. After killing her teammates, Anna, who still retained a trace of consciousness, chose to freeze herself. Eventually, she merged with Chen Tianwu's Herrscher core of Rock and evolved into Herrscher of Meteoric Ice. She was defeated by the joint efforts of Mei Raiden and Orchid Dale.
From the beginning to the end, Anna Shaniyat was worthy of the name Shaniyat. She always wanted to die as a human being and a Valkyrie, but she never got her wish.
But it is also true that even if the Herrschers of the current civilization have a concept of humanity due to the sacrifices of the previous civilization, it is not so easy to escape the control of the Honkai consciousness.
Anna is just an ordinary person after all. She does not have the consciousness of 300,000 people, nor does she have a world-weary mentality like Sirin. Even the Honkai consciousness is too disdainful to seduce her, and directly allows a new Herrscher consciousness to be born in this body, taking over the old one. But Anna can't find any way to counter it.
Because there is always an unbridgeable hole in Anna's heart. It is a nightmare that Anna cannot escape.
The Honkai that broke out in Manila, the capital of the Philippines in 2015, was the largest and most devastating Honkai in Southeast Asia to date. Although no Herrscher was born, the disaster almost destroyed the entire city, killing more than 200 million people and infecting about 300 million people to varying degrees. Secondary disasters caused nearly million residents in the city and its surrounding areas to be displaced.
Tianming immediately organized a rescue operation, but at a heavy price, the disaster was finally contained within the city of Manila. The "Xuelian" team stationed in the Philippines was almost wiped out.
At that time, Anna was the deputy captain of the Snow Lotus Team and the only survivor.
She saw with her own eyes the entire city turned into ruins in the collapse, saw the people she was supposed to protect struggling helplessly in the natural disaster, saw large numbers of corpses and burning flames.
A great collapse destroyed everything she knew.
Fear was like a swamp, pulling her down continuously until she was trapped in it, and it covered her chest, making her feel the pressure of suffocation. Then despair grew out of fear, and it tightly wrapped around her neck like a poisonous snake.
Anna ran away, retreating to the assembly point like a deserter, hoping for reinforcements, and even ignoring the people who called for help along the way.
She just ran away, leaving behind the people she was supposed to protect. Survival is human instinct, and choosing to evacuate and wait for support when isolated and helpless should be the most rational decision, and this choice is not wrong.
But is this right?
Anna, who thought she was a deserter, walked with heavy steps, and felt pain and entanglement in her heart. Suddenly, she remembered the oath she made when she became a Valkyrie - "I will bring hope to those who are trapped in disaster, and fight for every suffering victim."
So Anna stopped and turned back resolutely. She didn't want to be a deserter, nor did she want to break the oath she had made.
She successfully rescued Chen Tianwu from the ruins, which should have been a happy thing, but fate is always full of twists and turns and drama.
Chen Tianwu's sister was the little girl whom she had just ignored.
Logically speaking, from the moment Anna made up her mind to return to save people, she had already become a qualified Valkyrie, but because the incident with Chen Tianwu's sister seemed to have become her nightmare, the strong sense of guilt kept swallowing her up, like a black hole, she could no longer escape, and could only sink deeper and deeper, until the light changed color and she could no longer recognize herself.
