Shouldn't it be Anna? According to the three children, it was Binet who transported them to a safer place before returning to look for Anna. Even at the fastest speed, they could only reach the edge when the collapse broke out, and Anna was in the center of the city.

In the chaos, Lin happened to see a beret on the ice-covered floor.

The familiar hat was frozen in front of a huge block of ice that was three people tall, but its owner was nowhere to be found.

"Anna." Lin pronounced the name almost instinctively.

"Anna..."

At this time, Binet in the ice cocoon... no, the Fifth Herrscher, also opened her eyes, revealing ice-blue pupils, and muttered in response.

Red ice crystals quietly spilled out from under the ice.

……

"Where on earth did he run off to...didn't that person know that he should take shelter now?"

After following the man for a few steps, Anna's vision was obscured by the wind and snow and she lost her target.

The sky and the earth were all white, as if lost in a huge maze.

"Huh..." Anna exhaled softly, the white mist she exhaled drifting in the air. As her physical strength was gradually exhausted, the heat was also deprived from her body bit by bit. She rubbed her hands and trembled, feeling even colder.

This is terrible... If we don't find that person, he will definitely be in danger...

Anna's physical strength was running low, so she had to find a place to hide. She saw a store in front of her that had not been closed in time. Her eyes lit up and she ran in and locked the door.

Even though it wasn't necessarily much warmer inside the house, the cold wind was kept out, which could at least relax the body a bit.

"I don't know how much time is left. The uncle said that we must leave in 24 hours at most..." She walked to the front of the stage, threw down some money, and poured some hot water from the water dispenser. After drinking it, her body warmed up a little. Her eyes were solemn. "Ten minutes left now? Five minutes?"

In order to make Anna realize the seriousness of the situation, Lin explained to her the outbreak of a large-scale Honkai. The high-concentration Honkai energy that submerged an entire area like a rising tide was accompanied by disasters such as earthquakes, strong winds, and even meteorites. The current severe cold was of the same type, and most people died at the moment of the Honkai outbreak.

Therefore, the most dangerous moment is the moment when a large-scale collapse occurs.

Lin also had Anna do a test on her adaptability to Honkai energy, which showed that her adaptability to Honkai energy was surprisingly high, so if she did not die from the physical damage of the Honkai explosion, she could still move around in areas with high concentrations of Honkai energy.

But it was uncertain whether that person would die, just in case Anna wanted to take him out.

What Lin didn't expect was that he told Anna the truth and the adaptability of Honkai Energy in order to let her know the danger and seriousness, but it instead made Anna determined to step into danger to save people.

Anna picked up a hot pack from the store and put it on her body, then pushed open the door and ran in the direction she remembered.

Where...if I don't...

"Gah-"

A strange cry made Anna's blood run cold.

She looked in horror at the Advance-level Honkai Beast that she had seen before flying down from the roof. Its ominous appearance made her feel nauseous, and the posture of the Advance-level Honkai Beast preparing to attack made her even more terrified.

Anna retreated cautiously, but the white alien followed her slowly, as if if she moved a little more or turned around to run away, her chest would be pierced by its sharp beak.

Uncle...what should I do...

At this moment, Anna thought of Lin's exhausted look on the hospital bed, and the fear in her eyes was replaced by determination.

The uncle tried his best to protect them. If it were him, he would definitely tell her not to be afraid and to deal with it calmly.

That’s right, the uncle said that she is very talented. She can’t close her eyes because of fear, nor can she expose her back to it. Watch the movements of Honkai Beast carefully...

After Anna stopped moving, the Honkai beast floated in the air and rotated, gathering power like a top, and it could attack Anna at any time.

"Gah-"

The eyes of the Advance-level Honkai Beast lit up red. At this moment, Anna saw this inconspicuous detail clearly and tried her best to dodge to the side.

"Thorn-"

Without seeing the movement of the Honkai Beast, Anna dodged to the right side again, and felt a pain in her left arm. A deep wound appeared on her arm, but it was immediately frozen and not much blood came out.

The Assault-level Honkai Beast missed its target and fell directly into the snow. Anna ignored the pain in her arm, grabbed a wooden stick stuck in the snow, and smashed it on the Honkai Beast's head with her backhand.

"Snapped!"

After a crisp sound, the wooden stick broke directly, but it did not leave any wounds on the Honkai beast.

It is difficult to hurt Honkai beasts with ordinary weapons. Their skin is a fibrous material reinforced with Honkai energy. Similar materials cannot be synthesized artificially. It has multiple functions such as buffering, defense, and stretching. It can also allow Honkai energy to flow through it. Let alone a wooden stick, with Anna's current ordinary physique, even a long sword cannot pierce it.

When the first strike failed, Anna immediately dropped the broken stick and ran into the corner ahead.

"Ga!" After the Advance-level Honkai Beast flew up and readjusted its posture, it roared and chased after Anna.

"Hey!"

As soon as it flew around a corner, the chestnut-haired girl raised a trash can and covered its head with it, then kicked the trash can and hid in a room with an open window.

"Crash." The Honkai Beast roared and flew out of the trash can.

Anna hid under the windowsill, covering her mouth and nose and widening her eyes, quietly listening to the sound outside the window that was similar to the flapping of birds' wings flying past.

Fortunately... I escaped.

Anna put down her hand only after she was sure that the Advance-level Honkai Beast had flown far away. She took a deep breath of relief, and the beret on her head fell to her feet.

"Gah."

Anna's hair stood on end.

A charge-level Honkai beast hanging upside down on the ceiling was looking at her who was motionless due to fear.

Pick up the beret, jump out the window and escape.

"Gah!"

……

Where is that person? There are monsters everywhere here!

Anna felt that she was running the fastest in her life. The Honkai beast behind her, which seemed to have not mutated completely, was much slower than the first one, but it was still following closely behind her.

"Snapped."

Then at this critical moment, Anna tripped and fell.

The moment she fell to the snow, she knew it was over.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Oh!"

There was a loud crash and she saw the Honkai beast flying over her head.

Anna, who had fallen to the ground, immediately stood up again and looked behind her.

A jeep slid into four grooves on the snow due to a forced turn, and stopped just behind her after knocking down the Honkai beast.

A familiar head popped out the window and called out, "Anna!"

"Binay?!" Anna looked at the girl in nun's clothes in surprise.

Chapter 6 Believe

"Fortunately, I made it in time~" Bina leaned on the steering wheel and breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily someone is willing to lend me the car, otherwise I really would have missed it."

"Bina, why are you here!" Anna opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, looking at Biina anxiously, "It's dangerous here!"

"Clap."

Binet hit Anna on the head in annoyance.

"You know it's dangerous! What's going on with those monsters? You know something, right?" She scolded the stunned Anna, "You rushed in for others, but have you ever thought about what we would do if something happened to you!"

"You...you came in too..." After being scolded by Binet, Anna's confidence was instantly lost.

"I'm doing this for you! Really, before you consider others, think about yourself first!" Bi Nai was very angry, "I know it's good to help others, but I didn't teach you to save people at all costs, right?"

"Ah! Really! Bi Nai, you are a nun! How can you say such a thing! "

"So what if I'm a nun! Are nuns destined to be selfless and devoted to everyone?"

……

After finding a small road, Bina drove towards the city exit. They were silent in the car as if they were angry.

"Anna, what happened to you these days?" After a while, Binet finally spoke to break the deadlock and asked Anna, "I know you are very enthusiastic and a good child, but I don't think you should do this. In the past half month, especially today, you have given me the feeling that... you have become more mature."

"Didn't you just teach me a lesson?"

"I'm only teaching you a lesson because you haven't considered yourself. If you don't love yourself, you certainly need others to love you."

"..."

"Thinking about it carefully, you must have started to be different since you brought Mr. Lin to the orphanage. Is there any connection between that person and the current situation?"

"…He told me about the current disaster. He saved many people, but now he can't even stand up."

"I see."

After hearing Anna say this, Binet had already guessed most of it.

"I...felt like I should do something. I couldn't just stand by and watch. After learning the truth from the uncle, I felt that this was the meaning of my life." Anna's fingers sank into her palms. "The day I met the uncle, I knew this was my 'destiny'."

Their meeting must be meaningful, it is a necessity brought about by chance.

"...Little Anna, you have changed a lot. I almost don't recognize you anymore." After being silent for a while, Binet shook his head helplessly.

"Galla."

They had already reached the entrance of the city. Binet stopped the car and said to Anna, "Anna, go down and take care of them at the shelter."

"Me? Wait, what about you, Bibi?"

"Didn't you say there's still someone in the city who hasn't left?" Binet shifted gears and glanced at Anna, "I'll go find him."

"No!" Anna retorted without hesitation.

"Anna..."

Anna wanted to come forward and take the steering wheel: "Go ahead, I can drive too, let me go."

"Anna!"

The snow on the eaves was shaken off.

"I'm so annoyed!" Anna yelled at Binet, "It was Binet who taught me how to change..."

"No, Anna."

"..."

"..."

After more than ten seconds of silence, Binet whispered to Anna, "At that time, I actually saw my past self in you."

"You in the past...Bina..." Anna realized what this sentence meant after she came to her senses.

At that time? Do you mean when you were a kid?

"I told you that I investigated your family. That's true, but not after we met. I investigated your family before I met you." Binet said to Anna in a gentle voice, "At that time, I would investigate their past in order to heal the children's psychological trauma."

Anna knew that Binet lied to her when they first met, but she didn't expect that there was something else hidden besides the phrase "new nun".

There was not much time left, and Binet did not give Anna time to think or feel sad. She told her everything in one breath.

"My family is very similar to yours, but the difference is that my parents kicked me out in the end, and they didn't die."

"So during that time, I was similar to you. I hated them and also believed that this was my fate. So I gradually began to believe in gods and fate, as an unreligious believer."

"But after I met you and saw my own shadow in you, I wanted to start changing myself. Because you can't be like me."

"It's not me who changed you, Anna, it's you who changed me."

……

The gentle smile disappeared in the ice crystals and white mist.

Anna, with her right eye stuck with blood, slowly crawled up from the ground, covering her forehead. She looked around blankly.

what happened?

After Binet finished his last sentence, Anna heard a loud noise. The sound seemed to come from her ear, but also seemed to come from a long distance away.

Then... then...

Anna put down her hand, and stared blankly with her left eye not far away. An ice-blue figure was floating quietly in the air, looking down at her expressionlessly.
