"...No, now is not the time to think about this. Let's get rid of the Honkai Beast as soon as possible."

Although he was worried about his sister, with Theresa and the amulets he gave her, Bianca's safety should not be a concern. What is more important now is to stop these Honkai beasts from continuing to wreak havoc in the town.

Thinking of this, a ball of light quietly appeared in Xia Chuanhu's palm, as if compressing power, rotating and shrinking into a ball of light the size of a fingernail.

——【All Targets Locked】

——【Automatic tracking grant】

——[Magic output reduced]

——【Complete the whole project】

After completing all the preliminary preparations in 0.001 seconds, Xia Chuanhu aimed the light ball hanging on his fingertips at the town below, and then -

“Swish, swish, swish, swish————————!”

Thousands of beams of light suddenly fell from the sky!

The torrential light immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even the Honkai beasts, which were supposed to have no intelligence, subconsciously looked up at the sky. But just at the moment before they raised their heads, the magic beams that precisely locked onto their heads had already penetrated their bodies, swallowing them whole and evaporating them!

In an instant, or even in a time far shorter than an instant, the group of Honkai beasts that had previously been wreaking havoc in the city disappeared from the world without a single one left!

The Valkyries who were fighting against the Honkai beasts were stunned for a moment.

"Where's the Honkai Beast?"

"...disappeared? What happened?"

"What on earth was that light just now......"

That was not a situation that these B- or C-rank Valkyries could understand.

Why did the Honkai beasts that fought with them just disappear in the light? Who released this sudden rain of light? Could it be the latest satellite weapon developed by the headquarters?

(That’s enough for the city area, next is the area outside the city… Tsk, how many days have I been away? This amount shouldn’t appear in two or three days, right?)

Ignoring the somewhat panicked Valkyrie troops below, a ray of light flashed from Xia Chuanhu's fingertips again, and thousands of beams of light this time turned directly into a swarm of meteors and shot towards the surroundings of the town. Those Honkai beasts that had not yet entered the town or were blocked by the Valkyrie troops on the periphery did not even have time to react, and followed in the footsteps of the previous Honkai beasts at the same time.

Seeing the light falling from the sky without any warning, even the residents who were in panic due to the attack of the Honkai beasts all reacted and looked intently at the sky where the light was falling. Some of them were sharp-eyed and caught sight of Xia Chuanhu's figure at the first moment.

And in the crowd——

"...Natsukawa?"

Holding a rifle, Cocolia and her companions were guarding the gate of the orphanage, looking at Xiachuanhu in the sky with some confusion and surprise.

Although it was a bit far away and she couldn't see it clearly, Cocolia always felt that the figure was somewhat similar to Xiachuanhu... or too similar.

Then, Cocolia only felt a flash before her eyes, and Xia Chuanhu, who was more than a hundred meters away from her in the last second, appeared directly in front of her.

"Ms. Cocolia, are you okay?"

"Eh? I... um, I'm fine."

Cocolia was completely unresponsive and after a moment of silence, she quickly put down her gun and responded: "No! How could you...was it really you who attacked just now-"

"Yes, it's me. All the Honkai beasts inside and outside the city have been eliminated. Sorry, I came back late because I was delayed by some things." Xia Chuanhu said while observing the overall situation of the city distractedly.

(There are many damaged areas, but it won’t be difficult to repair them if I use the fantasy materialization. The injured… Tsk, is it too late? Even I can’t save them. The infection and fatal injuries of Honkai energy——the number is not large, which is the only good news.)

(The kids are... well, fine.)

"Cocolia, I have something to ask you."

"What day and month is it now? Where did these Honkai beasts come from?"

33. Where is my sister? Why is my sister missing?

Later, in the Siberian branch, in the meeting room.

Because of Xia Chuan Hu's actions, the Siberian branch, which was originally extremely busy from top to bottom and was so short-handed that it needed a little help from Cocolia, has now completely disappeared. After he and Cocolia went to find the Siberian branch chief, Xia Chuan Hu also learned about what happened after he left.

in short--

Three and a half days had passed since he entered the Quantum Sea and Vita had finally found her way back.

During these three days, the Siberian branch and the orphanage in Kokolia have been busy dealing with the children's affairs. Up to now, quite a number of children have been picked up by the Tianming transport planes, and one flight just flew away two hours ago.

But not long after that plane left, the Honkai beasts suddenly appeared. There was no sign, and no alarm. Until the Honkai beasts appeared around the town and broke into the town, the Honkai energy detection device of the Siberian branch did not respond.

Therefore, by the time the Valkyries reacted, the Honkai beasts had already broken into the town, which was why Xia Chuanhu saw the Valkyries resisting so awkwardly and reluctantly.

As for Cocolia, they had to discover the invasion of the Honkai beasts earlier. Fortunately, the people in the orphanage were colleagues that Cocolia brought from the army, and they had also privately prepared a certain amount of firepower, so they could still withstand a small number of Honkai beasts.

"I see... I understand the situation. Thank you for holding on until I come back. From now on, you should all have a good rest. I don't think there will be any new Honkai beasts appearing until tomorrow."

"Cocolia, you have quite a few children there, so it's best to provide them with some psychological counseling, otherwise what happened today might leave a mental impact on them."

After listening to Xiachuanhu's words, the branch chief and Cocolia both nodded.

Then......

"Well, I have another question - where's Bianca?"

Xiachuanhu then asked.

"I didn't feel my sister's presence in the branch. And...where are Theresa and Vita, whom I brought back? Why aren't the three of them in the base?"

During the conversation just now, he had deliberately sensed several times, but he indeed did not sense the presence of Bianca and the others once, and not only in the base, but also in the entire town, there was no trace of the three of them.

Cocolia shook her head and turned her gaze towards the branch chief.

The branch chief was silent for a while and then explained, "As far as I know, Lady Theresa and your sister left the base this morning. After breakfast, Lady Theresa came to me and said she was going to bring your sister to find you, and then she left. As for Ms. Vita, I don't know much about her either, and I didn't pay much attention to her whereabouts."

(Teresa brought Bianca to see me? Didn’t I ask Vita to tell them about my situation? How come…)

(No, that's not right. Given Theresa's personality, no matter how much she dotes on Bianca, she probably wouldn't take her out for most of the day and not come back. At most, she would just look for me in town.)

But the fact is that neither of them exists in the town.

So, did you go out of town?

If they hadn't left the town, Theresa would have definitely been at the forefront when the Honkai Beast appeared. Her absence meant that—

"... Cocolia, branch chief, keep this."

After pondering for a while, Xia Chuanhu took out two small round beads that looked like glass balls from somewhere.

"I'm going to look for Theresa and the others next. I'll leave the situation in the town to you. If the Honkai Beast appears again and you can't stop it, then smash this little bead. I'll sense it immediately and come back at the speed of light."

"......I see."

After taking the small round bead, the branch chief nodded slightly and quickly left the meeting room.

Cocolia saw the small round bead rolling to her hand and said: "...Is this a prop similar to a transmitter? When did you prepare it?"

"I just made this temporarily. You can only use it once. Don't just throw it away casually."

"I know that."

Carefully putting away the small round beads, Cocolia glanced at Xia Chuanhu who stood up and wanted to leave: "Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet, you haven't been seen for the past few days...what were you doing?"

"Hmm? Ah~~~ I didn't do anything. I just dealt with the issue of the continuous disappearance of the residents. It has been resolved."

"solved?"

"Should we call it an accident...or an unexpected situation?"

The truth behind the continuous disappearance of residents is actually one of the many side effects of the confrontation between Chaos and the giant snake. Chaos' interference across dimensions and universes was indeed blocked by the giant snake, but it was not completely blocked. The aftermath caused the quantum sea to fall into turmoil and also caused an impact on the space-time of this planet.

The result was that a number of randomly opened doors leading to the Quantum Sea appeared in Siberia, and the people who were near those doors at the time fell into the Quantum Sea.

It may be a bit exaggerated to say this, but the so-called continuous disappearances are really just simple accidents - do elephants care how many weeds or ants they crush when they are walking? Having said that, if it weren't for Xia Chuanhu, this incident would not have happened. In the final analysis, he does need to bear part of the responsibility.

"In short, no one should go missing in the future. You can rest assured about that."

“I see…”

"Then I'll leave first. I'm worried something might happen to Bianca. You should go back soon too, and don't let the children worry too much."

After saying that, Xia Chuanhu disappeared from the conference room in a flash.

The hand that Cocolia had just raised froze in mid-air, and after a long while it seemed to drop down weakly.

(He really came and went without a trace. He appeared so suddenly and left just as suddenly.)

(I wanted to thank you for saving me and my children, but you won’t even give me the time to say a few words?)

If you think about it carefully, it seems that Xiachuan Hu is not the kind of person who cares so much about being thanked by others?

Cocolia also knew that she belonged to him in name, but from what he did, he didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

"...God?"

"It would be great if the god believed in by the church is really someone like him."

At least, Cocolia truly felt the grace and blessing of God, and even the salvation from God.

34. And never wake up again

Just when Xiachuan Hu was about to go find Bianca and the others.

In a small woods quite some distance away from the town.

"Buzz!"

Along with a spatial fluctuation, a light gate suddenly appeared in the woods, and then two figures staggered out from it one after another.

“Cough… cough cough cough! Phew~~~~Finally, I escaped…”

Holding on to the tree beside her, Vita was out of breath and looked like she had survived a disaster. Beside her, Theresa was also supporting herself with Judas, her face was a little pale, and she kept gasping for breath.

The two looked quite disheveled. Not only were they covered in dust and dirt, but their clothes were also torn in many places. The thick tights that Vita was wearing on her lower body had many holes in them, and Theresa's thickened nun's uniform also seemed to have been cut by a sharp object, with various cracks of varying sizes scattered across it.

Even her left hand was still dripping with blood.

"Little Theresa, are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine. This little injury is nothing."

Covering her injured arm, Theresa patted Judas, took out a roll of bandages and painkillers from his built-in space, and bandaged herself skillfully. As the eleventh key of God, Judas, in addition to the most important combat power and the specialized [restraint] ability against Honkai, also has an additional internal space where many things can be placed directly.

Normally, Theresa would stuff all kinds of strange things into Judas's bag, but this time, since she was going out on a mission, she only prepared things related to combat and the mission.

This is her little habit.

"Vita, do you want to come too? You were also affected when you tried to save me just now, right?"

After bandaging herself, Theresa handed the bandage and medicine to Vita.

Vita shook her head: "No, I don't need it. I don't know why, but I'm not injured. It's just that the clothes you lent me are torn. How can I repair them now?"

"Just change into something. Fate isn't such that you can't afford a set of clothes. Just be okay."

After putting away Judas, Theresa looked at the closed light door behind her and Vita: "Compared to this... where have we been teleported to?"

"I don't know. It looks like a relatively remote place." Vita walked out of the woods, put her hand on her forehead and looked into the distance. "I can't see the town, and I can't see the tower before...Are we teleported to some remote place?"

"...It doesn't matter. I just need this. Luckily I always have it with me, so it didn't get damaged just now."

After rummaging through her clothes, Theresa took out a communication terminal from somewhere.

After trying it out to see if it worked properly, Theresa directly dialed the Siberian branch's communication number.

[Rustle... rustle... rustle... Lady Theresa——! ]

Perhaps because the distance was too far, or perhaps because the signal was bad, the sound was blurred for a while before Theresa clearly heard the voice of the head of the Siberian branch.

[Finally I received your contact! Are you okay? Where are you now? ]

"I'm fine, I just had a minor problem. As for my location... I don't know it myself. Please use the branch's radar to locate the signal of my communication terminal and then tell me the route back to the branch. Also, contact the headquarters in my name. If possible, it would be best to contact the Bishop directly."

[Contact the bishop... I understand. What message do you want to convey to the headquarters? ]

"...The second collapse five years ago may not be over yet."

After a pause, Theresa said in a heavy tone.

"The Second Herrscher, who should have been defeated, has reappeared in Siberia!"
