Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The Houkai energy was injected, and purple marks like fish scales appeared on the boy's body. The surgical needle was pushed towards his back. Then the incomplete stigma began to attack again, and there was a red spear tattoo under the skin.

"Hmm?" The real problem finally appeared. Schrodinger stared at the screen and witnessed with his own eyes the rise of Honkai energy after the surgical needle approached. Was it the Herrscher's energy that was causing trouble? Tianming had really encountered such a problem before.

Such an extreme problem only occurs in the Valkyrie who has transplanted gems, but I didn't expect it to happen to this young man.

"Dr. Schrodinger, is everything ok?"

"Well, everything is under control."

The solution in the glass chamber suddenly became thicker, and the liquid turned almost dark purple. The purple lines on the boy's skin became more conspicuous. He seemed to be really going to transform into a dead soldier, and the purple scales spread to both sides of his chin.

In this case, the violence of Honkai energy gradually decreased. Honkai energy is a very strange thing. It has no intelligence and can only destroy, but it can exclude and suppress subordinates. Schrodinger gave it a wrong feeling.

Let it think it has returned to the body of its original Herrscher. The blood injected into it is that of an emperor-level Honkai beast, which is so toxic that it can infect and kill an A-level Valkyrie. Shen Yunie can withstand it, otherwise it would be a matter of killing him directly.

The surgical needles moved quickly around the boy's shoulder blades, piercing deep into the flesh to release the Houkai energy, leaving a tattoo-like mark on the skin. The thick liquid in the solution was gradually being absorbed by the newly-appeared stigmata, and the Herrscher's Houkai energy had already calmed down.

The danger was easily resolved. Chang Guang looked at the basically stable data and couldn't help but give Schrodinger a thumbs up. "Doctor, you are amazing. It turns out that you are more suitable for the position of chief scientist."

"I'm only good at biology, and I have to continue my research on Gnius, so I have no interest in the position." Schrödinger answered calmly, his hands already off the operating table.

"Are you being modest..." Changguang stopped worrying about whose skills were better. She looked at the young men whose stigmata were gradually being completed. The task assigned to them by the bishop was successfully completed. She suddenly asked curiously, "Will the Black Abyss Knight awaken his superpowers?"

"Given the Herrscher power within him, it's possible. But the probability of one in a thousand becoming two in a thousand."

Shen Yunie was in an unconscious state, with only a slight sense of pain in his body. He realized that he was no longer in pain. Xilin's power disappeared quietly, and was easily resolved. He did not feel relaxed, but unusually nervous.

The body is slowly being devoured and eaten away by an unknown force.

There was a deep and terrifying darkness before his eyes. No matter the light of fireflies or the bright moon, it could not shine brightly here. How could the power of the Herrscher easily recognize him? Even Xilin had to torture him for several weeks.

Shen Yunie was not surprised to see the constructed figure in front of him, and calmly read out the other person's name, "Xilin."

She still looked familiar, wearing the dress she wore when they first met, with long hair like a waterfall, and her petite figure floating in the air, looking down at him, with a fair and delicate face without any emotion. The golden spear was suspended beside her, like a wing.

This wasn't his sister, it was just a force. So he wouldn't have any feelings for her, all she wanted to do was kill him.

Xilin gently waved her hands, and as if the pressure of a landslide fell, three golden spears pierced Shen Yunie. They had the ability to tear through space, and in an instant they reached his eyes. Shen Yunie couldn't resist them all, so he grabbed one of them, and the sharp spear light cut through his palm.

After blocking the fatal attack, the other two pierced into his shoulders, nailing him to the ground. Blood soon spread out, and Shen Yunie looked at Xilin who was almost killing him in the distance, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He pulled the two spears out of his shoulders, stood up with difficulty and ran towards Xilin. Then more spears appeared in front of him, hundreds of them, they appeared through space, frozen in place and prevented Shen Yunie from moving forward. The owner in the distance watched with indifference.

Go to hell. Xilin seemed to give an order, and all the spears stood up and stabbed at the boy. They didn't need to be fast, and the all-round coverage meant that no matter what he did, he couldn't escape.

Shen Yunie's body was pierced beyond recognition. When the first spear pierced his brain, he had already lost consciousness and fell into deep darkness. He was not dead, the second stigmata had been completed, and the energy could not kill the master even if it was causing trouble, but there were many other ways to torture him.

……

"Black Abyss Knight?" Shen Yunie heard the call while his consciousness was blurred. He opened his eyes slightly and stared at the face through the glass window. The previous pain made him unable to come out for a long time. The solution in the glass cabin had dissipated and the ventilator was no longer supplying.

"Congratulations, the second stigma has been completed. You are now an A-rank Valkyrie... No, a Knight!"

Changguang smiled when he saw him wake up. He thought the boy's bad complexion was just a side effect of the operation.

The glass cabin opened, and Shen Yunie looked at his body and hands without any scars. Changguang was also very considerate and brought a life-size mirror for him to check the holy marks on his back.

It was surrounded by an arc, with a pattern in the middle and a conspicuous spear in the center. This was his second stigma.

"How is it? Do you feel the power filling your body, or do you feel your special powers awakening?"

On the contrary, Shen Yunie now felt extremely empty, as if his body had been drained of blood. Every inch of his muscles was aching, and the Herrscher's power finally became a holy mark, but he still didn't recognize him.

Shen Yunie's face was pale, calm and helpless, "Sorry, Doctor, I don't feel any power coming back."

Changguang was stunned. Schrodinger, who was already doing other work in the distance, also stopped and looked back at him. A few seconds later, Schrodinger came to him with a few wires and inserted them into his blood vessels without saying a word.

"Don't you already have the stigmata?" Schrödinger couldn't help but ask. She thought the boy was joking with her, so she turned back to look at the data on the screen.

The value of Honkai energy is zero. Even those who are qualified without stigmata will have more or less Honkai energy in their bodies. Shen Yunie is just an ordinary person now, and the stigmata on his back are just two simple tattoos.

Schrodinger looked at the screen and then raised his head to stare at the boy. After a long while, he said something in the background, "I admit that Changguang is indeed worth studying. Now go back to the cabin. There may still be room for turning back."

Shen Yunie shook his head. He had already thought of a way when he was killed by the energy. He could only rely on himself to win over those powers with the body of an ordinary person.

He said calmly, "No, I may have to stay in Valkyrie's sanatorium temporarily. I'm very tired now, can you let me rest for a while?"

Schrodinger paused his movements and looked at him with a little disappointment. The patient said so himself, so they couldn't force him to continue. Changguang pointed to the bed next to him and said, "This is the bed we use to rest when we are tired. If you don't mind, lie down for a while?"

Shen Yunie was very tired and mentally exhausted. The feeling of being killed was too real. It was like being pierced by countless spears. It was just like being tortured to death. Not only did he have a way, but he was also too weak to continue to enter the glass cabin for experiments.

The boy didn't even put on his clothes, and ignoring the two doctors' scrutinizing eyes on his body, he just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

20. Thousands of tortures will not succeed

Shen Yunie slept for a long time, and he himself did not realize it. Ever since the failed stigma surgery on Saint Freya, he has been a patient, corroded and tortured by the power of the Herrscher.

While he was sleeping, Changguang and Schrodinger checked him in as a patient, and then moved him out of the underground laboratory. During this period, the boy was in a deep sleep without any signs of waking up. His body was worth studying, but the two doctors didn't do anything in the end.

Before waking up, Shen Yunie was pulled by Leia into the space where she was, and the two met in the dark.

She could sense the changes in the boy's body, but she didn't understand why it became like this. The strength after the stigmata transplant was only a flash in the pan, and now Yu Nie was very weak, probably because he couldn't escape from his daughter Xilin.

As a mother and a lover, Leah felt very sorry for this. She couldn't say an apology, and Shen Yunie would never accept it. He would always say it was not his fault.

"What happened?" Leia lowered her eyes so that the boy wouldn't see the guilt in her eyes, otherwise he would come to comfort her again.

"It's nothing, it's just that the Honkai energy still cannot be used, but I already have a solution." Shen Yunie replied calmly.

Leah touched the boy's head and grabbed his hand. "It's probably because of Xilin. I'll teach her a lesson when she comes back. You're her older brother, and you're so dedicated to protecting her. Don't let her make trouble like that in the future."

"I'll beat her."

Before waking up, Shen Yunie went to the place where the power of the Herrscher was. Xilin was still there, and the girl's delicate face was cold, without any emotion. If there was any emotion, it was just the desire to kill Shen Yunie.

Ignoring the young man for a few seconds, he raised his hand and pressed down, and hundreds of spears flew out and quickly pierced Shen Yunie's body. He wanted to resist, but he only destroyed a few spears at the moment of being killed, and the next ones were unable to resist and were pierced through the body.

He can't win now.

"If you paint in the ward, it might disturb the patients, and I would be very distressed..."

A weak voice sounded, and Shen Yunie hadn't opened his eyes yet. He didn't expect that he would sleep for so long. He was actually moved directly from the laboratory to the ward. He tried to open his eyes. The pain of being killed again not long ago was still echoing in his mind. He had to gradually get used to this pain, because he would be killed many times in the future.

"Sister Shen, I just gave up on becoming a ballet dancer not long ago, and now I have to give up painting. This is too painful. And it was my mother who asked me to take care of this patient."

Then came a childish voice with a smile, obviously taking advantage of the weakness in the other person's tone. Shen Yunie felt a hand moving on her face, cautiously as if trying to check if she was awake.

He opened his eyes completely and looked into the little girl's amber eyes from outside his hands.

"Hey, you're awake. Sorry, I just wanted to see if you were awake." The little girl was very brave and she started explaining while her hands were still on her face.

The person in front of him was just a harmless little girl. She had already backed away when she saw that she was being stared at. Shen Yunie stood up and asked, "Senior Lewis' daughter?"

She has wheat-colored skin, amber eyes, naturally white hair, and a lively and bold personality.

The little girl tilted her head, as if she was puzzled that she was recognized. After a long time, she raised the corner of her mouth and stretched out her hand to Shen Yunie, "Hello, my name is Carol Pei Yu, I didn't expect that you actually knew me."

"I heard your mother mention it by chance." Shen Yunie said lightly, looking around the environment. This was a single ward. He was lying on the bed and had changed into hospital clothes. The room was very empty. Only Carol and another girl, wearing pure white nurse uniforms, looked at them nervously.

"I'll go tell mom that you're awake." Carol jumped off the bed. She had already confirmed whether her brother was awake. She was going to go back and ask for credit from her mother. Before leaving, she ran to grab her drawings and crayons. On the white paper was the image of a ward, and there was a little person lying on the bed, who was undoubtedly Shen Yunie.

There were only two people left in the room. The nurse still looked nervous, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shen Yunie's body was not suffering from any disease, but he felt weak. Only the use of the Black Abyss White Flower could make up for this weakness. He was not going to continue lying in bed. Valkyrie and Saint Freya were essentially the same, both of them were talents for Destiny to fight against the collapse.

It’s better to go to the school and take a look at the situation than to lie here.

"This patient, please do not get out of bed and walk around casually..." The nurse finally responded when she saw him getting out of bed. She raised her head and looked at him, then added weakly, "Can I?"

Shen Yunie stopped in confusion, but got off the bed and said, "I'm not sick."

"Dr. Changguang told me to take good care of you." The nurse said softly. Seeing that Shen Yunie had stood up despite the dissuasion, she walked to the bed and carefully smoothed the quilt. There was a name written on the headboard. She looked at the name for a long time, "I know someone with the same name."

Shen Yunie stood in front of the window overlooking the steel castle. At dusk, the girls finished their day's classes and walked on the campus. There was little laughter, and everyone walked forward with a solemn expression. Saint Freya was a campus, and this was a military camp.

Seeing this, he turned around and answered the nurse, "This name is very strange. I chose it myself."

"Did you choose it yourself?" The nurse showed a surprised expression, as if she was in a daze and thinking, her eyes occasionally focused on Shen Yunie's face to make a distinction, "When I was in the welfare home, there was a very good-looking little brother with the same name, but unfortunately he died when I was nine years old."

"...What's your name?" Shen Yunie didn't expect to meet the same person here. The other party didn't recognize him, probably because they didn't communicate well and he had recovered his sight. He had a very shallow impression of the children in the welfare home. He didn't even know what they looked like when he was blind.

The nurse blinked and said, "Shen, Shen Ning."

Shen Yunie had no recollection. Most of the children admitted to the orphanage were from the border of Russia and Shenzhou, and most of them became orphans due to the collapse. He didn't remember, but Lia did. "There was a little girl who loved to cry in the orphanage before. Her name was Shen Ning. I don't remember it very clearly."

He loves to cry, so his personality is weak now. Shen Ning struggled with this for a long time, and finally asked him tentatively, "Dean Ragnar?"

This finally confirmed that the two had known each other for a long time. The girl smiled and looked at the boy who was much taller than her. It was a happy thing to meet an acquaintance here. She thought it was impossible to meet anyone.

The person she met was Shen Yunie, and the other party's eyes had recovered and he had become a Honkai user. With joy and curiosity mixed in her heart, she asked tentatively: "Shen Yunie, are you still alive... I have no ill intentions, I'm just curious to meet you here."

Shen Yunie casually explained his experiences in recent years. There were many things he could not say, but he also knew the experience of this old friend.

After the orphanage collapsed, most of the children were adopted by orphans under the Tianming Orphanage, and many were dispersed. Shen Ning stayed in the orphanage in Shenzhou, finishing elementary school and junior high school. It was not until she was fifteen that she gradually began to react to the emergence of Honkai, so she was taken to Valkyrie, hoping that she could also become a Valkyrie.

It was just that because her Honkai energy was too weak, she couldn't participate in the Valkyrie training at all and could only stay in the sanatorium as a nurse. The girl's life was simple and boring, and there was no ups and downs like Shen Yunie.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Even though he met an acquaintance, Shen Ning was still cautious, with his lips slightly parted as if he was hesitating about what to say, "Can you tell me how to become a Valkyrie?"

"Becoming a Valkyrie is not a very good choice. You may die before you become one. I don't have any good advice." Shen Yunie shook his head. He had to walk his own path. He was not a normal person. How could he teach others that method? "You can only work hard on yourself."

"Eh..." Shen Ning sighed with regret, and then quickly showed a determined look, "Okay, I will work hard on my own. Apart from becoming a Valkyrie, I can't think of anything else I can do."

She wanted to talk to Shen Yunie about something, but the sound of someone calling out from outside the ward made her lose all her thoughts. She turned around and prepared to leave. "Rest now. If you need anything, just ring the bell and I'll be right over."

After saying this, Shen Ning, who was wearing a nurse's uniform, continued to perform her duties. Shen Yunie stood by the bed and couldn't think of where to go. He was ready to continue to fight Xilin in that space. He just had to die a few times. Sooner or later, he would break those spears and make Honkai completely surrender.

Shen Yunie was lying on the hospital bed. The appearance of Leah prevented him from falling asleep immediately. "Are you going to fight Xilin again?"

"Well, only by promising her can I recover quickly and we can go back to see Sister Ying. Sister Leah, do you miss her?"

Leah held his hand and sighed, "I hope you are safe. You should understand that every death is very stressful for the mind. I am afraid that I will never see you wake up again."

In the end, she personally stroked his face and covered his eyes, "We are waiting for you, come back soon."

In a world where the Herrscher's energy exists, it is almost impossible for Shen Yunie to win. Judging from whether he can control the Honkai energy, he has no chance of winning. How many of the hundreds of spears can he destroy? How can he deal with the next battle if he can't even get in front of her?

The only thing that enabled him to defeat his opponent was probably willpower.

bump--

The spear shattered, and the body was pierced with pain. Shen Yunie did not dare to look down at his body. It was not difficult to imagine what his body had become. His consciousness faded and blurred. He took a step forward and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

After that, there was a long sleep. He did not wake up and chose to continue challenging the Herrscher.

21. Body scars, side effects

Can't win, can't win, easily killed. Shen Yunie repeated this many times. He was completely unable to break through the barrier of countless spears. The pain of every piercing of his body was deeply engraved in his mind. So in reality, the boy's body also began to show side effects. Bruise scars began to appear on his body, wounds swollen inexplicably, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

Seeing the boy in this state, Leah was frightened, but no matter how hard she tried to wake him up, he remained indifferent. It was also to this extent that it did not develop into a more serious situation. Perhaps Shen Yunie himself could not bear so much mental torture and fainted.

Leia was helpless. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the boy's nose and sat there in a daze for a long time.

……

When Shen Yunie woke up, the scene in front of her eyes was blurry. There was a figure moving around and doing something. When she realized that she was awake, she moved closer to this side.

"You're awake, why are there so many scars on your body? Sorry, I'm negligent..."

Hearing this voice and tone, he already knew who was coming. Shen Ning was looking at him with an apologetic look, standing beside the bed with her neck shrunk, looking like a frightened deer that could run away at any time. She was too timid, and she was actually not suitable to be a nurse.

"Do you want me to call a doctor to take a look for you?"

"No need." Shen Yunie shook his head. The numbness in his body and the pain in his mind were intertwined, and even breathing was painful. He lowered his eyes to look at the bruises that suddenly appeared on his arms. From the collar, he could see all kinds of marks on his body.

This is the consequence of being mentally oppressed to the limit. There is no way to stop fighting. The longer you delay, the less time you have left. Fortunately, that's all. Shen Yunie closed her collar so that people wouldn't easily notice that she also had wounds on her body.

"Maybe he bumped into it unconsciously while sleeping."

Shen Ning didn't quite believe this explanation and muttered quietly, "It's too strange that he would be in this state."

As a nurse, she was too timid, but she remembered the teachings of her predecessors very clearly. Seeing so many scars on the boy's body, she took out a few bottles of medicine from the cart and said, "Applying this medicine can make your body feel better. Do you want to try it?"

"Yeah." Shen Yunie took the medicine, put it aside and prepared to wipe it herself.

"Shen Yunie, I, I will help you?"

"It's just a small mark. I can wipe it off myself. Thank you."

Shen Ning refused. He really wanted to wipe more than just these few places. He looked at the girl quietly until she vaguely felt that she should go out. Shen Ning felt very strange. Did he need to avoid it just to wipe his arm?

Even though she thought this in her mind, she still obeyed and walked out of the ward.

"Sister Leah, help me clean the wound." Shen Yunie didn't get up from the bed until the footsteps disappeared. Every inch of his muscles contracted and it hurt. Those marks were where he was pierced. Some of the marks were very deep because they had been pierced more than once.
