After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

【————! 】

The communication terminal suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Then--

[Lady Theresa, actually... beep! beep! beep! ]

Before the branch chief could finish his words, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded through the communication terminal and reached Theresa. Theresa recognized it immediately. It was the alarm sound that was used by the Destiny's Honkai energy detection system when it detected Honkai beasts and medium-sized or above Honkai events!

"Branch leader! Immediately deal with the source of the alarm! Organize the Valkyrie troops to take action! At the same time, send a request for support to the headquarters! Hold on until I return!"

[Yes, yes! ]

This ends the communication.

Theresa put down the communication terminal with a heavy face, took a deep breath, and clenched her small hands slightly on her chest.

Vita also looked worried: "Sure enough...did something bad happen, little Theresa?"

"Well, and if I'm not mistaken, it will probably be... a sequel to the war five years ago."

When she said this, Theresa's mind flashed back to the tragic war she had experienced - five years had passed, and she didn't expect that the battle that ended with so many sacrifices was actually far from over.

"...Ready to go back - Judas, activate the hovercraft mode."

"Buzz!"

Judas, who was standing next to Theresa, suddenly lay flat on the snow, and then slowly floated into the air.

After jumping up and standing steadily, Theresa stretched out her hand to Vita: "Come on, Vita, you come up too. I'll take you back with me."

“…..Hey~~~~”

Looking at Judas who seemed to be staggering, and then at Theresa's 1.5-meter-tall body that couldn't even reach her chest, Vita could already imagine herself falling down halfway and her head hitting the snow.

------------------

Bianca felt so cold.

Although she was still holding the amulet given to her by her brother, she could not stop the chill from flowing out from inside her body. As her body became colder and colder, the chill that was blocked from the outside world gradually enveloped her body.

Then......

"So...sleepy..."

Maybe it was because of the chill that took over her body, but Bianca felt that the scene in front of her eyes suddenly seemed to be floating and swaying, as if there were many identical things existing at the same time.

even......

It seems like another self has appeared?

"So...tired..."

【It’s okay to be tired】

The other self slowly came to Bianca, leaned close to her ear, and spoke with a laugh as sweet as a silver bell.

[You are already very tired, leave it to me next]

(Leave it to...you? Who...are you?)

【I am you~~~】

[The you who has always been in your body is you, just like you. Since you are tired and sleepy now, just leave it to me for the time being~~~]

[Don't worry~~~ I will protect our bodies well and won't let us encounter any danger]

(is that so?)

(Then…then…I’ll…take a nap…okay? When I wake up…I’ll go look for…my brother…)

Amidst these whispers, Bianca slowly closed her eyes.

And the next moment, Bianca opened her eyes again.

[Well, sleep well, Bianca...]

[——Then never wake up again]

Bianca's eyes, which were originally as clear as Xiachuanhu's, were now shining with orange-gold light.

35. It doesn’t matter, I will take action

Let’s go back to this morning.

In terms of time, it was 74 hours after Xia Chuanhu went to the Quantum Sea.

"Eh? You said you were going to look for Xia Chuan?"

Theresa, who had just finished contacting an orphanage under Tianming, looked at Bianca who ran to her and said, "Bianca, I told you yesterday and the day before yesterday about your aunt, right? Xia Chuan is just out investigating a case and will be back soon. The message he asked Miss Vita to bring back also said the same thing, right?"

"Your brother is a very capable person. We really don't need to worry about him, so just rest assured."

"But...but..."

Of course, Bianca knew that her aunt was right, and she also believed in her brother.

But she was a little worried, and...

"My brother hasn't come back for three days... I'm really worried about him..."

This is not the first time that Xiachuan Hu has left Bianca.

More than a month ago, Xiachuan Hu hadn't seen Bianca for several days, but at that time Bianca was not as worried about her brother as she is now. If there was a reason, she had her sister Kiana by her side all the time, and the artificial intelligence Yue Ling Marrow Fluid was taking care of her, plus she had classmates at school.

It should be the same now.

Bianca never thought anything would happen to her brother. In her eyes, he was the most powerful person. But...

[Something will happen to my brother]

For some reason, Bianca had this feeling in her heart, as if someone was telling her something in her ear. And as Xia Chuanhu hadn't sent back any news for three consecutive days, Bianca couldn't ignore or care less about this voice.

[Even if he is my brother, it is impossible for him to be safe forever, right? ]

[What should I do if something really happens to my brother? ]

【Will my brother leave me? 】

[If I lose my brother, what will happen to me next? 】

......

While listening to that voice again and again, Bianca began to think more and more unconsciously, and now...

"Then, I'll go out and look for my brother by myself, Aunt."

"Eh?"

Hearing what Bianca said, Theresa quickly put down what she was holding: "No! It's too dangerous for you to go out alone!"

"I, I'm fine! I have the amulet my brother gave me, and... and I can protect myself! I'm going to find my brother!"

"Bianca, you--hey, wait a minute!"

Before Theresa could finish her words, Bianca ran out!

Seeing this, Theresa hurriedly wanted to catch up, but just as she ran out, she saw Vita outside the door, clinging to the wall of the corridor, as if eavesdropping.

".....Vita?"

"Uh... that's... what a coincidence, little Theresa~~~"

Vita touched her head awkwardly and stood up straight: "I, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just happened to pass by!"

".....Forget it, I'll tell you later--Hey? How come Bianca runs so fast!?"

It took Theresa only two sentences to realize that Bianca, who was originally in her sight, had run so fast that she was almost out of sight.

Watching this scene, Viveta suddenly pressed Theresa's shoulder and said, "That... Little Theresa, I only heard it halfway through, so maybe what I said is not reasonable... But since little Bianca is so worried about her brother, why not let her go and look for him first?"

"......What's the meaning?"

"That's right...that's right. Let me think about what that saying is. That's right, just go along with the child first. Children are like this. The more you forbid them to do something, the more they want to do it. Otherwise, we can accompany her to find her brother first, and when she is almost tired, we can bring her back...what do you think?"

Vita suggested with a dry laugh.

Theresa was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then she started running again: "We have to wait until we catch up with the child. There are so many people outside now. If she gets lost, where can we find her? Vita, come and help me too!"

"Eh? Ah? I...I want one too?"

"Your idea!"

————————————————————

"...That's basically it before things get bad, Grandpa."

Siberian branch.

Theresa, who carried Vita and quickly returned to the town according to the route given by the branch, eliminated all the Honkai beasts around the town in one go, and is now in contact with Otto who is far away at the headquarters.

"After that, Vita and I walked around the town with Bianca for a while, and we went to the place where Vita said Xia Chuan left. But after we went there once... Bianca suddenly disappeared in front of us."

"By the time we came to our senses, Bianca had already run out. It was Vita who reminded me that I noticed her. I wanted to bring her back immediately, but Bianca... I'm not trying to quibble, but she ran really fast. Vita and I couldn't catch up with her at all. In the end, we chased her to a place where we could see the Old Babylon Experiment Tower."

"Then, it really only took a moment. Without any warning, Vita, Bianca and I appeared inside the Tower of Babylon. At the same time, Bianca attacked Vita and me, and even her tone seemed to have changed."

"If Bianca hadn't regained consciousness and forced Vita and me out, we would still be here..."

Theresa didn't say anything else, but it was enough for Otto to understand the whole story.

After taking a breath, Theresa looked at Otto on the screen with a serious expression: "Grandpa, if I'm not mistaken, the current situation should be..."

[The Herrscher core of the Second Herrscher that I implanted into Bianca's body has been reactivated for some reason, and even... the consciousness of the Second Herrscher has been revived - hehe~~~ This is really something that makes it difficult to laugh from the bottom of my heart. ]

Otto chuckled.

[The nightmare from five years ago is coming again]

"This is all done by you, Grandpa..." Theresa clenched her hands, "I still don't understand why you used the Second Herrscher's Core and Kiana to conduct experiments! If it weren't for your experiment, Bianca wouldn't be here now..."

[Now is not the time to talk about this, little Theresa]

Otto laughed.

[I have also observed that the same Honkai energy reaction as the Second Herrscher has appeared near the Old Babylon Experimental Tower. Although the intensity is far less than that of five years ago, it is already above the general large-scale Honkai event, and the number of Honkai beasts is also increasing exponentially... With our current combat power, it will be a bit troublesome to solve them all.]

After the second collapse five years ago, Sentient has been working to restore its combat effectiveness, but it has not yet fully recovered. The Valkyrie corps is seriously undermanned, and they wish one Valkyrie could be used as three.

In this situation, facing the unexpected resurrection of the Second Herrscher, if we only rely on fate—

[You don't need to come here, I will handle this matter.]

Suddenly, a communication message was interrupted abruptly between Otto and Theresa.

It was Natsukawa Tiger's voice.

"Xia, Xiachuan?!"

[Ms. Theresa, I will hear your detailed description later, but if it is about the Tower of Babylon, I am already at the scene and I will handle it next.]

"You said solve it... How are you going to do it alone—"

Just as Theresa was about to ask for details, Xia Chuanhu had already exited the communication.

Then, just a dozen seconds later.

The Honkai energy reactions of more than three hundred Honkai beasts that Tianming had just detected all disappeared at the same time, and were replaced by an ultra-high-energy reaction that swallowed up the entire Babylon Experiment Tower, which was equivalent to a full-strength attack by the Herrscher.

36. Brother Chong and Sister Chong

A long time ago, Xia Chuanhu received a question from Chiron, the famous Greek Centaur teacher.

[You said you wanted to save others and the world to the best of your ability, but if one day your salvation led to destruction, what would you do? ]

To put it in a more popular way, the person that Xiachuan Hu once saved killed or murdered someone else one day later.

Although this is something that only happens in extremely extreme circumstances, if it really happens, what should Xiachuanhu do? ——This is what Chiron wants to ask.

And Xiachuanhu gave the answer at that time.
