I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

As a Valkyrie, she knew only too well how much damage artificial stigmata could do to the body.

Rita even guessed that the reason why Ye Ming vomited blood and fainted last night was also related to his stigmata.

"Could it be... Master Otto's experiment..."

Suddenly, Rita thought of a terrible but very possible guess:

Perhaps the young man in front of him was the victim of Otto's experiment. After being captured, he was forcibly implanted with the stigmata, and then thrown away when he failed to get the desired results.

"Oh, stop imagining that."

Rita is a smart person. This dangerous and unproven thing needs to be driven out of her mind as soon as possible.

The irony is that although Rita guessed wrong, if there really was scarce material like Ye Ming, Otto would definitely experiment on him to death.

He just didn't find the opportunity to commit the crime, but he already had the motive to do it.

"Ye Ming, do these holy marks have any effect on you?"

"No... I don't even know... when this thing appeared on me."

While Ye Ming was explaining, he suddenly felt dizzy again.

"That's good, it's fine."

Rita's originally compassionate expression turned gentle.

"Let's continue. We still have so many cute clothes to wear."

"..."

"Oh, you're not resisting anymore? It may not be fun, but being submissive has its own way of playing~~"

"..."

"Ye Ming?"

Rita's smile stopped abruptly. Ye Ming, whose lifeless eyes looked as if dead, made her shudder with fear.

···········

"I feel like I'm dying..."

After regaining consciousness, the taste of blood in his mouth made Ye Ming a little crazy.

Unexplained confusion, unexplained internal bleeding...

It seems like the abyss of death is right in front of me, but I don’t know what is hidden behind me.

When will it be pushed down and how will it be pushed down?

Such unknown fear is as devastating as the dark and bottomless abyss.

"what is going on……"

——We were attacked.

"You are finally back!"

Hearing the system's voice, Ye Ming felt relieved for a moment, but immediately fell into confusion again.

"Is the attack against us spiritual or physical?"

——Neither is correct. It is our “existence” that is under attack.

"What do you mean?"

——Something is trying to erase our existence.

——Physical damage and interruption of consciousness are merely symptoms, not causes.

——So we can’t find any problems. Modern medicine can’t do that, and neither can magic.

"Who has such great ability? To erase my existence?"

——It’s not clear yet, but that guy was able to interfere with me, which has never happened before.

Ye Ming still remembered that the system said that even the power of the Key of God could not surpass her.

And now, there is someone who can compete with the system in dimension and even suppress her, which makes Ye Ming feel cold.

"what should we do?"

——I have tried my best to block the opponent's attacks, but I can't be 100% successful.

——I don’t know exactly what to do, but there is something I need to let you know.

Having said that, the system was silent for a moment, because even she herself felt that what she was going to tell Ye Ming next was simply contradictory.

——Ye Ming, we don’t have much time left, but we can’t speed up the progress because of this.

The tone of the system was very similar to when Tesla announced to Mei that Kiana only had two months left to live.

But the situation Ye Ming faces is obviously more complicated.

“Why can’t we speed up the process?”

——It is precisely because we have changed our destiny too much and the world line has shifted too much that we have been targeted by something.

——If you are impatient for success and try to expand your influence in a short period of time, you may suffer a greater blow.

——We can only slow down, do what you have to do, and find ways to fight the enemy.

"But what if I die because my existence is erased before I achieve my goal?"

——…

The system fell silent again, and this time, she was helpless.

--Feel sorry.

This apology caused Ye Ming's body temperature to drop several degrees.

"I see."

Death is imminent, but you don’t know how much time is left. Occasionally, you will suffer from internal bleeding and confusion. It is hell.

"Calm down and think about it."

Not being able to speed up and forcing yourself to maintain the original pace is not all bad.

At least Ye Ming can be forced to calm down like now.

"By the way, how much do you know about the stigmata on my body?"

If what we have now cannot break the impasse, then the new intelligence obtained recently may be the key.

—Stigmata? You mean... those incomplete Herrscher marks on your body?

"Ha~~"

Hearing the system's statement, Ye Ming suddenly sneered. After the stigmata, some unfamiliar information appeared.

Although he was confused, Ye Ming was very clear that under the current circumstances, the more novel the gadget was, the more likely it was to become a weapon for a comeback.

"It seems I still have a lot to ask you."

Ye Ming told the system what happened between him and Rita, and the other party responded quickly.

——The Holy Mark and the Herrscher's Mark are both signs of being able to control Honkai energy.

——The Holy Marks were born from the Honkai Antibody, while the Herrscher's Mark was born from the Honkai itself. They both have different paths but the same goal.

——The power of the Herrscher you absorbed is not complete, so the mark is also incomplete.

——The artificial stigmata are originally defective products of the "real stigmata", which are similar to the incomplete Herrscher's Mark on your body.

"No wonder Rita got confused, what a wonderful coincidence."

Just when Ye Ming was considering whether to explain this to Rita, the sound of glass breaking suddenly came from the kitchen.

"what happens?"

Ye Ming got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom curiously, but saw Rita lying at the kitchen door with a look of surprise on her face.

"Are you OK?"

"I...it's okay..."

Seeing Ye Ming wanted to run over to support her, Rita quickly waved her hand to refuse.

She slowly stood up, trying to show her usual evil charm:

"Oh my, I let you see my loss of composure. You must be responsible to your sister~!"

171. The collision between defective products

"Since you have seen my loss of composure, you must be responsible to your sister~!"

The broken glass spilled tea all over the floor, and the camera in the video kept focusing on the wreckage on the ground.

Only Ye Ming himself could see at that time that Rita's black stockings were also stained by the tea, revealing her pink skin slightly.

"A perfect maid should be able to tease me while doing the job at hand, right?"

Ye Ming mercilessly exposed:

"You don't look like you're alright right now."

"Oh~~ I didn't expect you to know me so well~~"

Rita no longer forced herself to laugh, but her joy at the moment was genuine.

"So, what's going on?"

"My luck seems to be bad. I was only slightly injured, but I was injected with Honkai energy."

Perhaps because she felt the pain, Rita's expression became a little bitter:

"The operation of the Honkai Antibody awakened the side effects of the artificial stigmata, and I felt a little uncomfortable for a while."

With her extreme talent and high adaptability to Honkai energy, it is easy to forget that... Rita is also an ordinary girl with artificial stigmata transplanted.

Among the three S-level Valkyries of Destiny, she is the only one who is not a natural Stigma Awakener.

The side effects of artificial stigmata would naturally cause damage to her mortal body.

[Two of the three people are Stigma Awakeners, whoever is not will be embarrassed]

[If the Stigma Awakener holds a party, Sister Tazi is the one who is not invited]

[Who will make a ghost video of American bullying? I want to see it tonight]

Rather than feeling sorry for you, the audience is more inclined to make fun of the memes. After all, all S-class Valkyries are stigma awakeners, and you are the only one not. It's too targeted.

In addition, given Sister Tazi's always frustrated personality, it's hard not to have the urge to persecute her.

"Is persecuting a person so fun?"

Rita said with a confused look on her face:

"Such a lovely Ye Ming is in crisis, why do you still want to read my story?"

From the moment Ye Ming appeared in the video, Rita's eyes were firmly drawn to him, as if any shot without Ye Ming would be meaningless.

Rita didn't even care about herself as the heroine. As long as she didn't interact with Ye Ming in the video, Rita wanted to fast forward.

She seemed to have remembered something, and all she needed was the final touch.

"Ying, keep a close eye on Rita and don't let her get close to me."

Ying, who had promised Ye Ming before, nodded, but Zhen asked curiously:

"Since you were so opposed to what Rita had done, why didn't you use your strength to reject her?"

"I can't bear to part with it."

Bronya complained expressionlessly:

"Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that it will hurt us, Ye Ming won't do it."

Hearing this statement that everyone seemed to agree with, Ying instantly lost her composure and complained:

"But Ye Ming has used violence against me before, and with all his strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen hit his sister on the head with his hand knife:

"You were the first to strike. He would have been killed by you without even using all his strength."
