Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

The crisp sound of iron weapons bouncing off rang out one after another. The opponent seemed to have given up. The speed of the flying weapons became slower and slower, but they never stopped. The fog gradually dissipated, and Shen Yunie's sight immediately locked on the black figure a hundred meters away. The figure began to move in an extremely strange posture and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

"In the research institute." Leia looked at the running elevator into which the black shadow had entered before.

Shen Yunie did not chase him directly. He took out his phone and called Lewis. When the other party answered, he said directly: "Senior, someone attacked me behind the hospital. I didn't see his appearance clearly, so he fled to the research institute."

"Attacker? How can Valkyrie have an enemy who is also a human?" Lewis' tone became serious. After a brief thought, she responded again, "I will send someone to find you immediately. Before that, please keep an eye on the attacker. He may destroy the equipment or the patients sealed in it. Prevent him from escaping."

Shen Yunie did not agree, but said: "He might be coming for me, like a very stupid attacker."

"Sorry to bother you, Fu Hua is also in the institute, no one knows what he will do."

Lewis did not give him a chance to avoid danger. Shen Yunie frowned and responded, "Yeah."

After the call was hung up, the wind blowing from the park, which was like spring all year round, was still cold. Shen Yunie walked towards the elevator entrance holding the black abyss and white flower. After learning that there was an attacker, Valkyrie did not respond quickly, which made him and Leah dissatisfied. It should not be just a verbal response.

"There wasn't even a normal alarm. Are they too confident?"

Shen Yunie walked into the elevator and watched the depth continue to decrease. Finally, he arrived at the location of the research institute, a hundred meters underground. The metal door opened and only the weak safety light was still on. The rest of the lights in the institute were turned off by the attacker. Obviously, this was the final location of his attack. The previous clumsy appearance was performed for Shen Yunie to see.

He walked out, and apart from the slight sound of footsteps, there was no sign of the attacker. The young man walked quietly in the room, and his perception of Honkai energy allowed him to detect whether there were attackers within a dozen meters nearby. As long as he was ready to attack, he could sense it.

But it seems that the attacker has gone into hiding and the two doctors are not here.

Shen Yunie suddenly stopped. The surroundings were indeed silent, but he still had a bad feeling and subconsciously raised the Black Abyss White Flower.

bump--

The piercing sound of bombardment hit his eardrums, and the black abyss and white flowers were suppressed by the sudden force, and his body was pressed against the wall and unable to move. The cold knife light flashed in the darkness, and it was only a few centimeters away from his arm and could not move forward. He did not use a weapon to block it in advance, and the blade had already cut into his arm.

Although there was no Houkai reaction, the attacker was so close that ordinary people could not do such a strong force. Shen Yunie felt familiar with this situation. She pushed the blade away with a blank expression, but the latter did not give up the attack.

The impact of each sword was so powerful that even Shen Yunie who had used the Black Abyss and White Flower was unable to resist. He passively slammed into the wall. Neither his sight nor his perception could determine the attacker's location in the darkness. He was like a ball of ghostly mist that enveloped his entire body and could attack from any angle at any time.

I can't beat him... The boy narrowed his eyes and watched the blade stab at his body from a tricky angle again. This time he did not choose to continue to resist, but took two steps back to distance himself. He put his hands behind his back and explored the metal wall to press the button.

Shen Yunie was no longer able to resist. The blade was too close to him. Before it could touch his body, the wall behind him split apart and he lost his balance and fell into it. Then the door closed quickly, and the blade scratched the metal.

"Hmm?" A surprised female voice sounded, and it sounded like someone frowning. The attacker was standing five meters away from Shen Yunie, using his personal hiding skills to prevent the boy from discovering him, so that he could attack without blind spots.

Shen Yunie escaped, she didn't need to hide, her delicate hand stroked the scratch she made, the owner of the hand, Rita, frowned, she had just promised Dr. Schrödinger yesterday not to destroy anything here.

To obtain Shen Yunie's active blood, we need to use the Honkai energy now. Attacking is the stupidest way, but also the way with the least worries. What if the boy recovers his strength and is unwilling to give it? What if he tells Theresa?

There is no worry about the attack. Shen Yunie may question Valkyrie's defensive capabilities, but he can't do anything as long as he treats it coldly.

When Rita thought of the young man's unhappy face after receiving the cold response, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and murmured in a low voice: "This is my territory."

Saint Freya is your territory, so I can't do anything. Valkyrie is my territory, and the same thing will happen to you, Mr. Shen.

Even now that the research institute has been destroyed, the bishop may be scolded by the doctors, and this reprimand may also implicate him. Rita was speechless when she thought of this. How could this guy run away?

There are many roads in the research institute, leading to various rooms. Shen Yunie fell heavily to the ground and got up quickly. He didn't know where to escape or when the attacker would come. In the dark corridor, he chose to enter a room and hide temporarily.

The metal door closed silently. Shen Yunie turned around to look at the situation inside the room. It looked like a place where people lived. There were various household appliances, a toilet, and a bed. The air freshener was running all the time, making the air here no different from that on the ground. The strange thing was that there was a cabinet like a refrigerator next to the bed, but it was not, because the opposite side was made of thick glass.

Shen Yunie recognized this thing, it was a glass cabin. If someone in the research institute was seriously injured, they would need to be frozen and hibernated, probably in a glass cabin like this.

In the dark room, the glass cabin exuded a chill, and the condensed ice surface glowed hazily. When viewed from the side from a distance, a fair face could be vaguely seen through the glass.

The boy wanted to check the situation, but after confirming that there was someone inside, he did not go forward. Dr. Changguang told him that the women who hibernate in the glass cabin are all naked, so that they can determine whether their bodies have any adverse reactions during hibernation.

If he came forward like this, he would probably see the other person naked. Shen Yunie did not go, but Liya, who was also a woman, did not need to worry about this. She walked forward and stood on tiptoe facing the two-meter-high glass cabin, wanting to take a closer look at who was inside. After confirming the face, she raised her eyebrows and said, "It's Fu Hua."

30. Frozen Fu Hua

Shen Yunie was sure that it was the right thing for him not to go and see her directly. He asked quietly, "Is Senior Sister in good condition?"

He had never seen Fu Hua since he left Lion City. A whole month had passed since he last received information from Dr. Changguang. She had been frozen here and had never woken up. It was uncertain when she would wake up.

"Come and see for yourself." Leah smiled at him, knowing the boy's concerns. She raised her hand and knocked on the glass cabin, and ice foam splashed. "Don't worry, this place is basically sealed up, you can't see anything, otherwise I wouldn't let you see it. In a few minutes, the ice may freeze her completely, and then there will be no chance."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yunie moved closer. Seeing it with his own eyes would indeed make him more certain. Just as Leah said, there was thick ice inside and outside the glass cabin, which covered the girl's body tightly like a thick white gauze, leaving only her snow-white swan neck and cheeks. The ends of her loose gray hair were already covered with frost and no longer swayed.

The freezing continued, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few minutes, Fu Hua would be completely frozen. This was obviously unreasonable, but the built-in life detection system did not sound an alarm, indicating that Fu Hua was safe now.

The girl's face was pale as a mirror. Her skin did not turn blue after being soaked in water for a long time, but a kind of translucent white. Her eyelashes were long and turned upward like butterfly wings. The fine ice was like small unpolished diamonds, hanging sparsely on Fu Hua's neck and cheeks, reflecting amazing light at certain angles.

Shen Yunie couldn't see the pair of ice-green eyes, and looked at her relaxed brows to make sure that the ice would not be affected. He silently watched the ice gradually spread to both sides of the girl's cheeks, spreading out like scales like a work of art, and the ice wrapped around the ends of her hair and covered her head. In the end, he could no longer see Fu Hua's appearance.

There was only a thick block of ice left.

Shen Yunie looked away. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyelashes, and found that the ice had spread to his face. "Let's go. Senior Sister can't see anymore."

Leah followed him obediently, and couldn't help but look back at the ice out of curiosity, "It's really strange, why would Fu Hua freeze herself?"

"I don't know." The boy shook his head.

"Is her ability ice or is it caused by physical reasons?"

"do not know……"

Leah stopped and stared at the confused face of the boy. They knew nothing and they were not sure whether Fu Hua had any ability. Because she was already very strong when using her fists. Leah sighed and said helplessly: "We have known each other for two years, but we still know too little about Fu Hua."

Shen Yunie stood in front of the metal door. The corridor outside was still silent, but that didn't mean no one was safe. The attacker was able to attack him silently, and he couldn't find where the attacker was. This situation was very familiar, and he felt that he had seen it in someone before.

The metal door slowly opened, and before it was completely open, a figure had already rushed out and ran away in the darkness at a very fast speed. Ten meters away, Rita had been here for a long time, and did not take the initiative to attack. She was sure that the boy would come out by himself. Obviously, she guessed right.

Shen Yunie ran very fast, but it was not enough in front of her, an S-class Valkyrie who specialized in infiltration and assassination. Seeing the young man getting a hundred meters away from her in the blink of an eye, she smiled with slightly red eyes, looking at him as if she was sizing up prey.

The specially made sickle flew out silently and was behind the boy in a blink of an eye. She was not going to kill him, but just take any blood.

The next second, sparks flew, and Heiyuan Baihua blocked the blade and bounced it away. Shen Yunie didn't stop and accelerated forward. The opponent was obviously targeting him. In this situation, he just needed to lead her away and make sure she didn't hurt Fu Hua. As for other things in the research institute, he didn't have the energy to take care of them.

Shen Yunie ran away very quickly, but Rita chased him even faster. Under the special clothes that covered her whole body in black, she had already put on a hunting suit specially used for tracking and assassination. Seeing the boy running away in a hurry without even looking back, she smiled happily and kept swinging the blade to attack.

It bounced back again and again. Fortunately, there were no flammable items here, otherwise the splashing sparks might have ignited the surroundings.

Rita deliberately controlled not to hurt the boy, just the tip of the knife touched him slightly, she could get blood, but it was difficult. Shen Yunie didn't turn his head, but he seemed to have several eyes, and any attack from any angle would be bounced off by him.

Gradually, Rita put away her smile and her intention to not hurt him, otherwise he would have run away! How did this guy do it? He learned the Chinese idiom of "listen to all directions and look in all directions"?

A light appeared in front of the two men's eyes. Shen Yunie turned back to the elevator entrance. He didn't intend to stay any longer and rushed in to close the door. Rita suddenly sped up behind him. She no longer looked like an attacker. She tiptoed lightly and rushed to the boy like a swift, swinging her sickle at his shoulder.

Bang! Heiyuan Baihua blocked the attack, and the blade was only two or three centimeters away from touching the flesh. Rita gritted her teeth and increased the strength in her hand. She had to hurt Shen Yunie now, otherwise the elevator door would close.

The young man was also resisting with all his might. He narrowed his eyes, and saw only the sickle, and no one standing in front of him. When his attention was focused, a black shadow appeared in front of him. He grabbed the handle with both hands and pressed down hard.

"Rita, is it you?" Shen Yunie suddenly spoke up. In his impression, the only person who could hide like this was Rita, who specialized in assassination. Perhaps there were others who could do it. Because he could not see the face and body under the black shadow's clothes, he could only rely on guesswork. "Why did you attack me?"

The black shadow was stunned for a moment, and the boy did not notice the subtle movement. Then the elevator door closed completely, and Shen Yunie pressed the button and left the research institute.

The dark research institute was suddenly lit up. Rita took off her black clothes and rubbed her forehead with a headache. "I failed. It seems that I can only look for the next opportunity."

"Shen Yunie is so strong, I didn't expect that he could guess you." The person who turned on the light was Chang Guang, with a surprised smile on his face, and patted her shoulder as if to comfort her, "You will have another chance next time, but you can't do it in the research institute. Dr. Schrodinger saw the damage you caused and called to reprimand the bishop."

Rita reluctantly retracted her armor, her bright red lips lifted, "Is there still a chance? Shen Yunie is very difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the bishop's mission, I don't want to become his opponent, or even meet him."

"We will create opportunities for you." Changguang continued to comfort him, "Apart from this, aren't you worried that he will figure you out?"

31. Vent anger

The elevator door of the institute opened. There were many people waiting at the gate. Shen Yunie's eyes fell on the crowd. He walked out calmly, "The attacker is downstairs. He may have escaped."

"You're not hurt, are you?" Lewis frowned and checked Shen Yunie's body. After seeing that he had no wounds, his expression was obscure and complicated. After a moment's pause, he was still serious. "We will be responsible for catching him. Thank you for your help."

Shen Yunie walked past her and waved calmly without answering. Behind him, Lewis gave orders, and the Valkyries divided into many groups and entered the elevator entrance to look for the attackers.

He could not guess who attacked him. He had only seen Rita's ability to hide, but he could not rule out the possibility that there were others who could do the same. If it was really Rita, then the subsequent search would be meaningless. This was not Saint Freya. There were so many people that he could not rely on any of them. If the other party plotted against him, he would have no way to stop them.

So he had to swallow this anger? Shen Yunie's expression was obscure. This was probably the only way, but he had to confirm that the murderer was not from Valkyrie.

He began to walk around the Valkyrie. Although there were attackers, the girls' training did not stop. They seemed to have no idea what was going on. When they saw Shen Yunie passing by, they would occasionally look at her. Rita was nowhere to be seen. Then he went to the Valkyrie dormitory. He also did not see her in his sister's room. The place was huge and it would take a long time to search everywhere.

Shen Yunie couldn't find it. After some time had passed, if it was really Rita, the other party would probably have already dealt with her without any flaws.

He thought he would never find this woman, whether she was hiding because she was guilty or because she had something else to do. But in a blink of an eye, Shen Yunie found her in Valkyrie's harbor. There was a huge parasol in front of the guardrail on the beach, and below it was a lounge chair and Rita, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit, with her legs wrapped in light black stockings crossed.

The winter here is absolutely cold. If it weren't for the fact that Honkai users are immune to temperature, Shen Yunie would have thought that this woman had mental problems.

"Student Shen, what are you doing here? Are you here to enjoy the sea breeze with me?" Noticing his gaze, Rita turned around and smiled at him. This was obviously not an invitation. The smile on her charming face looked bad. "But can your body bear it?"

"I really need to calm down. I just encountered an attack and someone wanted to kill me." Shen Yunie couldn't see any flaws in the maid. The harbor was far away from the research institute, and it would be troublesome for her to pack up and run over, unless Rita had never been there at all.

The boy was hesitant in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. "Valkyrie's defenses are very poor. I'm beginning to hate this place."

Rita pursed her lips and murmured, "This is the Valkyrie's Arsenal, located on an artificial island in the sea. Who dares to sneak in here to kill people, or who has the ability to do so?"

"Yeah, so I suspect it's someone on the inside, like you, Teacher Rita." Shen Yunie sat down next to the maid, staring at that face, "Because that guy can also hide, I've only seen this ability in you."

"Concealment is an advanced skill that every Valkyrie who is engaged in assassination and intelligence gathering must learn, and there are many people who can do it." Rita didn't even look at him. This reason was too far-fetched and could hardly be considered a reason for conviction.

Shen Yunie didn't speak for a long time after that. He could see that the corners of the maid's mouth were gradually curling up. Smiling didn't mean anything. He and Rita didn't get along well. It was possible that the other party wanted to laugh when she saw him encountering bad things.

He could only swallow his anger and wait for Lewis to come up with the final conclusion. It was highly likely that he would not be able to catch the attacker. Shen Yunie thought of something in his heart, stood up expressionlessly, and turned away under Rita's gaze. "This place is not my home after all. No matter how good the relationship is, we are still strangers. No one will help me. I'll go find Bianca. She will help me."

Rita frowned. She would never have an emotional reaction to anything the boy said, except for Yulandel. She stood up from the recliner and said coldly, "She is training. Because of you, her daily training schedule has been disrupted."

"Her brother was almost killed, and yet she was able to continue training."

"Brother and sister. Besides, you are not dead, and you are not even injured. It turns out that for you, your relatives are obstacles to becoming better?" Rita's tone was still cold, and the words she said made Shen Yunie stop. The boy turned around and there was no emotion in his eyes, which were colder than the winter wind and made her feel a slight chill.

Rita was in a bad mood, but she didn't show any flaws. She immediately shut up after saying so many words.

Shen Yunie did not leave but walked towards the maid. He was very irritated, especially after feeling the strangeness conveyed to him by Valkyrie. There were no good people in this place, and even if there were, they were not here to help him. If the attackers could not catch him, they would be chased for so long in vain.

He wanted to find a place to vent his anger, and he would never come here again when his powers were restored.

Rita no longer looked at the boy, but at the glittering sea with swaying blue waves. "Don't bother her. I will help you track down the attacker."

"What if we can't track him down? The murderer is right in front of us. Will he identify me?"

Rita frowned. Shen Yunie's words were too much. She was sure that the other party had no evidence. He insisted on framing her. This guy was really annoying.

"I'm not!"

The boy didn't say anything. After the bright light came on, the pure white knight gun lay in his hand. Shen Yunie quickly obtained the collapse energy from it, emitting an oppressive aura. Rita couldn't lie there contentedly anymore. She wanted to see what this guy could do.

She was happy to join in a fight, so that Shen Yunie could truly experience the power of an S-class Valkyrie.

The two were very close to each other. Shen Yunie gradually narrowed her eyes, while Rita's gaze was always on the black abyss and white flower. The only threat to her was the Key of God. Apart from that, the other party could not use the original ability of the Stigmata, and the power of the sealed Honkai energy could not be used.

As long as she was well prepared, she could easily knock Shen Yunie to the ground and step on him.

Shen Yunie attacked as expected, and Rita also reacted as quickly as possible, and then something happened that surprised her. Her subconsciously raised hands and her retreating body were forced to stop under an unknown force, as if someone was standing behind her and holding her down.

The boy did not hurt her, but quickly put away his weapon and hugged her. Rita was slow to react to this strange action. Her face turned red, "What are you going to do?"

"Take you to jump into the sea." Shen Yunie smiled. He couldn't be sure that the other party was the one who attacked him, so he didn't plan to attack. He just wanted to vent his irritability. Nothing could calm people down better than the cold sea water.

Rita was slow to react to the boy's actions other than the attack, because she had never thought that the boy would do this. When she fully realized that she wanted to use the Honkai energy, it was too late. Shen Yunie held her and easily crossed the guardrail and fell towards the sea several meters high.

"Puff-"

32. Rita: Don’t die in front of me

The sea was deep and dark. Due to gravity, the two of them sank several meters after falling into the sea. Rita took a few breaths of cold air. She saw the boy's face with a relieved but evil smile, his slightly long black hair floating, water droplets hanging on his eyelashes, and foam constantly pouring out of the corners of his mouth. His hands were not loosened yet, and he seemed not to be ready to swim out, but continued to sink to the bottom.

This guy has no evidence at all, he is just here to vent his anger on me!

Whether it was because of her intuition or just coincidence, because Rita was the attacker, she felt an unconscious sense of guilt for anything she did to Shen Yunie. She didn't want to deal with this guy at all and was acting purely because of the bishop's orders.

After a daze, a slight anger surged in her heart. Rita looked at him as if he were a madman. No matter how tightly he held her, she easily broke free. Her high heels fell off her feet and sank into the deep sea, never to be found again. Her jade feet wrapped in black stockings stepped in the water and swam upwards in an extremely graceful posture. She was like a mermaid, but she ignored the person who fell into the water and prepared to float to the surface of the sea by herself because this guy had annoyed her.

A head appeared from the rippling sea. Rita had already swam to the surface. The cold water and the fright made her face pale, and her short gray-gold hair stuck to her cheeks. She waved her slender hands like white lotus roots and swam towards the nearby shore. There was anger and helplessness in her wine-red eyes. She almost felt that this was her retribution.

When she looked down, she felt another complex emotion. After being freed, Shen Yunie did not swim upwards. He was still sinking with his hands at his sides. In a short period of time, he had sunk more than 50 meters. The deep blue sea was about to swallow him up completely and he could no longer be seen.

Rita raised her head and gritted her teeth and said, "This guy!"

Then let him die. It was his choice to jump into the sea and it has nothing to do with me. If he dies, he will not interfere with my life and Miss Yulandel's life.

The mermaid kicked the water and pushed herself forward a few meters before suddenly stopping. Finally, she dived into the water again and swam towards the almost blurred figure of the boy. She owed him that!

If Rita hadn't really attacked Shen Yunie, she would have definitely abandoned him. When she was about to leave alone, the guilt suddenly magnified in her heart. Not only did she fail to complete the mission, but she also killed someone. Even if he chose to jump into the sea, he would be questioned later when he explained why he didn't save people.

Everything that might happen is difficult to deal with, and Rita doesn't like it, so she can only go and save people.

She couldn't understand why Shen Yunie didn't swim upstream. Even if he didn't have Honkai energy, with his physical fitness, as long as he floated to the surface and reached the shore quickly, his body would not be frozen by the cold. Now it seemed that there was no chance. Once his body was frozen, he would never be able to float up again.

Rita didn't know that Shen Yunie's most recent training was to be thrown into the sea a hundred meters deep for training. He had already adapted to the cold and could swim up no matter how deep he sank.
