After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

"Also, the environment in Siberia is not good to begin with. If you don't eat well, even the body of a Valkyrie won't be able to withstand it. Everyone, please eat more today. If it's not enough, I can continue to prepare."

The colder the region, the more calories are needed. This is why most Russian cuisine is a calorie bomb. When Xia Chuanhu was learning Russian cuisine, the cheese, butter, sugar and other things in his home were used up very quickly.

Although it was originally used very quickly.

"Goo~~~~"

Smelling the aroma wafting in the kitchen, a sound of someone's stomach growling sounded at a very timely moment. A Valkyrie standing at the door quickly covered her stomach with a blushing face.

Xia Chuanhu smiled softly: "It seems that you are really hungry. Please wait a moment... Well, it's almost cooked. I remember the last step is to add sour cream - well, that's it."

After tasting it and adding the cream that had been prepared long ago, Xia Chuanhu brought a large pot of bright red Russian borscht to the table.

"Ding!"

At the same time, the countdown from the oven sounded like it was about to end. As Bianca opened the oven, the extremely rich aroma of cheese and potatoes immediately came out!

At this point, the Valkyries could no longer bear to stand at the door any longer, and they swarmed to the dining table, like crazy women who had been hungry for days, and began to enjoy their dinner in a hurry.

22.——【Snake】

The dinner lasted for nearly four hours and was not finished until around nine o'clock in the evening.

But there is no way around it. There are simply too many children in the base, and in order to avoid confusion, they have to eat in batches, which inevitably takes longer.

"Huh~~~ I'm finally done cleaning."

Half past ten in the evening.

The kitchen had become silent.

After cleaning the stove thoroughly, Xia Chuanhu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Beside him, Cocolia handed him a cup of hot water at the right time: "First, you prepared dinner for so many children by yourself, and now you have to clean it up by yourself. It's really hard for you, Mr. Xia Chuan."

"It's okay, it's just cleaning, not even an after-dinner exercise."

After taking a sip of the water, Xia Chuanhu came to the dining table and sat down: "As long as the children are full, I will be satisfied. Are the children asleep?"

"Yeah. Ms. Theresa and I went on patrol once, and the children were all sleeping soundly, including Bianca next to you. Ms. Theresa was watching her."

"That's good~~~"

After all, it was already half past ten. If it was a young person of 17 or 18, then this would be the time when they would be full of energy, but it was better for children to go to bed early.

"But I'm really surprised that you cook Russian food so well." Kokolia exclaimed, "I've made borscht for my children many times, but the taste is far worse than yours. Have you ever studied cooking?"

"I guess so. I lived alone for a long time before, so I started learning it just to satisfy my appetite."

Borscht is one of the traditional Russian dishes and almost every family can make it. But to make it so delicious using all kinds of canned food like Xiachuanhu does...it really requires extraordinary cooking skills.

(First, the incredible magic, then the extraordinary fighting ability, and then the impeccable cooking skills?)

Cocolia glanced sideways at the young man beside her.

Although he looked only twenty years old, he was far more outstanding and excellent than anyone she knew. It could even be said that he did not seem like a human being.

"But you, it's so late, aren't you going back to the orphanage?"

Xia Chuanhu's sudden question brought Cocolia back to her senses: "Well... I was originally planning to go back, but I just called the orphanage and I will stay here tonight. After all, it's too late to go back now, and I didn't expect to stay so late."

Cocolia was originally planning to go back for dinner, but when she was about to go back, she was forcibly pulled over by the Valkyrie who had already eaten. After just a taste of Xiachuan Hu's cooking, she decisively stayed for dinner.

After that, she arranged the children to line up for meals, and took care of them to sleep. Just now, she was cleaning the kitchen with Xiachuan Hu.

This back and forth led to her staying until now.

"I see. If you hadn't called yet, I could have taken you back, but since you've already called, forget it. This way, we've taken care of a temporary incident. From now on, the children's affairs will be handed over to you and the Tianming Orphanage. I have to start dealing with the matters at hand seriously."

"The matter at hand... a missing persons case?"

Xia Chuanhu nodded.

The reason why he came to Siberia was to deal with this matter. That is, he suddenly decided to intervene in the affairs of Kokolia and the orphanage today, otherwise he would have already started investigating everywhere.

"...Do you need my help?" Cocolia pursed her lips and asked, "You helped me a lot this time. Although you probably don't need it, I can help you investigate the case."

"No, just focus on the children. You'll be busy with so many orphans and young soldiers, and I don't think we'll see each other much anymore."

“…It seems so.”

Objectively speaking, this is the only way.

Xia Chuanhu helped Cocolia solve a big problem this time, but it also brought her a lot of work. In the next one or two years, she will have to concentrate on taking care of the children. Xia Chuanhu can't come to Siberia at any time, not to mention that he is still a man of destiny on the surface. Judging from the performance of the S-level Valkyrie, he may be a super high-level person.

For a small regional leader of the Anti-Entropy in Cocolia, it was a miraculous development that he could offer voluntary help like this.

"Then at least let me tell you some more information that I didn't tell you before."

"...Besides Baba Yaga? Have you found any other information?"

Kokolia nodded slightly. "But it's called intelligence, but it's actually more like some rumors. It's something that has occasionally been circulated among residents in the street in the past two months. If Baba Yaga is a legend spread by some old people and crazy people, then this intelligence is something that young people would talk about."

“They said that those who disappeared seemed to have said - [snake] before they disappeared.”

snake?

Xia Chuanhu frowned: "That kind of natural animal?"

"I don't know, but in the end, this is just a rumor that young people on the street occasionally mention. I can't be sure of its authenticity, but... with my intelligence network, this is the only information I can provide. I'm sorry that you have helped me so much, but I can only provide such vague clues."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Everyone has limited abilities, so don't force yourself to do things that are far beyond your capabilities. You just need to focus on taking care of the children now, and you don't need to get involved too much in our affairs, as that won't do you any good."

Is there no benefit?

Two images emerged in Cocolia's mind - one was the scene of Xiachuanhu ravaging the military base today, and the other was the scene of herself being rescued from the Honkai Beast by a destined Valkyrie five years ago.

twice.

Things that she thought she could not resist were easily destroyed and defeated by others.

(Is it that place... where I cannot enter?)

"Okay~~~ Then I should go back to bed. You should go to bed early too. Remember to go back early tomorrow. Although there are many people watching over your orphanage, without you as the backbone, your subordinates will be too busy to handle it."

Xiachuanhu said as he left the kitchen.

"Oh, yes, yes, I don't know if we can meet tomorrow, so I'll tell you now."

When he reached the door, Xia Chuanhu suddenly stopped and looked back at Cocolia.

“[Giving up some principles in order to achieve one’s most important goal] is the right decision. After all, when discussing things, one must always put oneself in the position and conditions of the parties involved.”

"But people have two hands. It doesn't make sense that one hand can grab something but the other hand can't. And even if the thing hits you so hard that you have to use both hands to grab it, that person still has two legs, arms and a back. If that doesn't work, you can just hold it with your mouth and hang it up."

"Even if you are already full of things, you can still pass the things on to others. In short, everyone has many ways to grab things, so there is no need to give up hope too early."

"I don't want you to become a witch who will do anything to achieve her goals in the future."

Mary is enough for the world to have such a person.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Good night~~~"

After saying that, Xia Chuanhu disappeared from Cocolia's sight, leaving her alone sitting in the dark and empty kitchen, looking at the cup of water in her hand and falling into a long silence.

23. Let the wind blow away, the phantom of the past

Xia Chuanhu woke up at eight o'clock the next morning.

After preparing breakfast for the Valkyries and children who had woken up one after another, he went to find Theresa who had gotten up early like him.

"You're going to the Ural Mountains?"

"Well, I came to tell you that I will probably be gone for a day and will be back in the evening. But I don't know if I can come back in time to make dinner, so you can eat by yourselves when the time comes."

Looking at Xia Chuanhu who was about to leave, Theresa pondered for a while: "Then tell me where you are going and what you are doing?"

"Yesterday I learned from Ms. Kokolia some clues that may be related to the continuous disappearance of people. One of them points to the Ural Mountains, so I plan to go there to check the situation. In terms of distance... it only takes a short flight to get there."

Xiachuanhu explained.

"I'll leave Bianca in your care while I'm away."

"...Forget it. I knew you were not a quiet person. You acted like that yesterday, so I won't be surprised no matter what you do next." Theresa sighed, "It's a pity that I have to deal with the children's affairs today, otherwise I would go with you."

"Has Tianming replied?"

"Well, Amber replied to me not long after I reported the situation yesterday. People from the headquarters will come to pick up the children and take them to the orphanage around noon. Although there are quite a few children, if they are distributed to various orphanages, each orphanage will only need to adopt a dozen children, and 200 of them will be transferred to Saint Freya, which I set up in the Far East. So, you've caused such a big thing for me, and you're just going to ignore everything today?"

Xia Chuanhu laughed a few times: "You are here, so those who are capable should do more work. And I am not doing nothing. I am preparing to deal with some important matters. Then I will leave first and come back in the evening."

The moment the words fell——

"boom!"

As a small hole exploded on the ground, Xia Chuanhu's figure rushed directly into the sky, turned into a flash of light and flew straight towards the Ural Mountains.

Theresa stood there with her mouth open. It was the first time she saw the power of Natsukawa Tiger and she really wanted to say something for a moment, but... when she thought that it was Natsukawa Tiger who flew up, she suddenly didn't want to say anything.

"I better go wake the kids up..."

——————————————————————————————

After the second collapse, a large number of ghost towns appeared in Russia.

These ghost towns are scattered throughout Russia. After all, Russia's economy has not yet fully recovered in the five years since the second collapse. Instead of living in a small town with few people, it is better to go to big cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg or Yekaterinburg to keep warm.

Over time, more and more ghost towns appeared.

After flying in the air at supersonic speed for a while, Xia Chuanhu randomly found a "ghost town" in the Ural Mountains and landed on the deserted street.

And once it landed—

"Ok?"

The strange concentration of Honkai energy in the air made Xia Chuanhu subconsciously raise his eyebrows: "Why is the Honkai energy here... so high?"

There is one similarity between the Honkai world and the Type-Moon world. In the Type-Moon world, magic exists everywhere. The magic from the Great Source is always present in the natural environment. In the Honkai world, Honkai energy is also always present in the natural environment. However, generally speaking, the concentration of Honkai energy is frighteningly low, and even ordinary people will not be affected by it.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the people in this world have been modified at the genetic level.

As an outsider, Xiachuan Hu has actually been under the influence of Honkai energy all the time, but his body has the function of [self-transformation], which allows him to make acquired body modifications to suit any environment, and this is something he will do unconsciously, so his body has long possessed considerable resistance to Honkai energy.

But even so, when he arrived at the Ural Mountains, Xia Chuanhu still clearly felt the abnormal concentration of Honkai energy here. According to the standard of destiny... it is at least a medium-sized Honkai event, right?

You know, in Tianming, even small-scale Honkai events will be detected. Now these are medium-sized Honkai events, and Tianming has no reaction at all?

(Speaking of which... did I break something when I came down just now?)

Xia Chuanhu looked up at the sky.

The color of the sky was the same as usual, not much different from usual, but Xia Chuanhu could vaguely see that there seemed to be a special invisible barrier in the air... or was it an interference field? It was similar to electromagnetic interference.

"...Forget it, just leave it like this, it doesn't matter if it's not broken."

If the interference is broken like this, the Siberian branch will definitely be the first to be affected and sound the alarm. They are already very busy with the children's affairs, so don't add more work to them at this critical juncture. Xia Chuanhu can handle it alone.

even--

“Tick-tock…”

He picked up a handful of snow at his feet, gently squeezed it and turned it into water, then dripped it around the ground: "——【Get up】."

"Buzz!"

The water rings dripping on the snow immediately lit up a little, turned into a halo and rose into the sky, and then the sky seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, and suddenly became a little dim. If you look from the outside, you should feel that the Ural Mountains seem to have become a little unreal and less eye-catching.

This was just a simple cognitive interference barrier magic that used the local environment to reduce the sense of presence. Anyone who was a magician could do this, and the range of the barrier could be directly expanded to most of the Ural Mountains - this was something that only Xia Chuanhu, who had too much magic power and nowhere to use it, could do.

Adjusting the output of magic power can significantly affect the effect and range of the spell, and even make difficult spells work through excessive magic output.

In this regard, Natsukawa Tora is the only expert in the entire Magic Association.

"This way, we don't have to worry about what's happening in the mountains affecting the outside world."

"Then what happens next..."

Xiachuanhu's eyes swept over the white shelled beasts that were gradually emerging in the town.
