Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

He didn't float up now, but relied on the coldness to calm his mood. Valkyrie made him feel disgusted just by this matter. He didn't need to stay here any longer. The stigmata surgery was completed, and he could fight Xilin anywhere. Only by winning could he fully recover his abilities, and he could do it even if he didn't stay here.

The young man thought of leaving. Since then, he has sunk to a depth of nearly 100 meters. It is very dark here. The light cast is only as weak as that of a firefly. The surroundings under his feet are in unclear darkness, which gives people an endless sense of fear.

"Let's go. If you sink any further your body won't be able to hold on." Leah urged. This was the first time she spoke after she agreed to let the boy jump into the sea. Yu Nie needed to think and judge calmly, so she didn't make a sound and waited until there was real danger before speaking.

She was ready to show up and give the boy oxygen. The dual souls meant that even though she was ordinary, Shen Yunie could do things that normal people couldn't do. She glanced upwards and was stunned by what she saw. "Yunie, Rita is back."

Shen Yunie came back to his senses because of these words. He thought Rita had already swam away and would wait on the shore for him to float to the surface so that she could step on him. After all, the anger in her eyes was real. Did he scare her? This woman was kind-hearted. When he couldn't be sure who the attacker was, the guilt returned to him.

Shen Yunie patted the sea water, and soon he ended this symbolic action. Rita swam quickly in front of him, put her hands into her armpits and pulled him up. There was anger in her wine-red eyes, and more of a sudden helplessness.

"Why did you save me?" Shen Yunie asked curiously, hoping that the other party could read her lips as she could not make any sound in the water.

Rita looked at him coldly, obviously she understood but didn't answer, bubbles overflowed from the corners of her mouth. The boy tactfully didn't make any other physical contact, but this also made her angry, why did this guy suddenly want to die? Normal people should desperately grab a life-saving straw when they encounter it, but Shen Yunie did nothing and looked casual.

This made Rita want to abandon him even more, but as a maid and Valkyrie, her duties required that what she did should be easy to clean up or be able to be cleaned up.

Shen Yunie had plenty of oxygen. He couldn't help but find the other party's angry and helpless look funny, and continued to ask mischievously: "Teacher Rita, is it fun to fall into the sea?"

Rita seemed to be unable to bear him, and finally responded, glaring at him fiercely, "Shut up, or I'll throw you down."

The boy was silent and Rita thought her threat worked, and she stopped watching him and swam faster. In fact, Shen Yunie was attracted by her face. Her left eye, which was usually covered by her short hair, was already visible in the water.

I originally thought that Rita was hiding some secret by hiding her right eye, but now there is no secret in front of me. Her pupil is still wine red, her eyelashes are long and slender, and the tail of her eye is slightly red. Her eyes emit a captivating red light in the dark water, and her natural charm is particularly obvious in the water.

Noticing the gaze, Rita lowered her eyes and found that the boy was looking at her right eye. She immediately wanted to cover it again, but she couldn't do it. Her hair was floating because of gravity, and she couldn't cover her eyes with one hand.

There was nothing wrong with being seen, but Rita just didn't want him to see it, 'Don't look, or I'll throw you down.'

Why should I try my best to save people while he can do nothing?

This time Shen Yunie didn't listen, he knew that Rita couldn't really abandon him. Rita was helpless about this, she just wanted to get to the shore as soon as possible, and just ignore the rest.

……

On the shore of Valkyrie, Rita threw the boy to the shore like throwing away a rag, and climbed up herself. The maid's uniform was completely wet, and the delicate skin could be vaguely seen in the pure white. The clothes were tightly attached to her graceful body, and water droplets hung on the ends of her hair. Rita walked up to the boy with a condescending look in her eyes, "Next time you want to die, don't die in front of me."

Shen Yunie's face was pale, and the cold sea water had a stinging feeling that penetrated deep into his bones. He raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth, "You can choose not to save me, because this is my own choice."

The boy's answer made Rita's eyes even colder. She had spent so much effort to do something meaningless. She became more and more angry and regretted saving the boy. Chatting with Shen Yunie would only make her angry. This person was destined to make her angry.

She turned around and left without looking back, "Then you should stay here. The sea breeze is enough to freeze you to death."

33. Let's go home

After returning from Valkyrie's harbor, Shen Yunie got Lewis' answer that the attacker could not be caught. This was basically the same as he expected, but the boy could no longer get angry. After falling into the sea and being rescued by Rita, his irritable heart gradually calmed down.

But the disgust and strangeness of this place did not subside. Shen Yunie lay on his back on the bed, thinking about when to leave. He had a home to return to, so he would naturally go home. Leaving would not affect his relationship with Youlandel. When he missed her, he would let her come to Saint Freya. At least there was no ill will towards her there.

Leah sat next to him and whispered, "Let's go home."

The young man closed his eyes and entered the place where the Herrscher's energy was located again. He stood tall and straight, his expression was calmer than before, and his eyes revealed seriousness. He had no one or anything to rely on, so he could only win by himself.

Xilin released thousands of spears expressionlessly. As always, they would pierce the boy's body mercilessly after he fought hard. When thousands of spears were destroyed, new ones would come out to replace them. However, this time, the process of killing the boy was delayed a lot. Shen Yunie was holding on, and the number of spears he destroyed was more than all the previous times combined.

There were nearly a thousand of them, and he and Xilin were much closer. The distance between them was not very far, only two or three hundred meters, but the gap was like a natural moat under the barrier of countless spears. In the end, Shen Yunie still failed to reach his sister. After losing too much blood, he lost consciousness while walking. The side effects this time were so strong that he couldn't even fight a second time and fell asleep until the early morning.

"I'm sorry, we didn't catch the attacker." Lewis said to the boy with a guilty look, "All exits have been blocked. It is speculated that the attacker may have escaped first."

Shen Yunie replied calmly with a blank expression: "It's okay, let's continue training."

It seemed as if the boy had already forgotten about it. He had to continue training. Lewis, with her back to the boy, breathed a sigh of relief. That was the order of the bishop. Although she felt puzzled, she had to cooperate. The deception made the heroic Valkyrie feel guilty. She was glad that the boy would not be angry and pursue the matter. In the end, he left and maybe they could still be friends.

"It's just the last period of time. I will leave Valkyrie soon."

The boy's next words made Lewis look stiff. She turned her head and asked dryly, "Why are you leaving so soon? The training is expected to take two months. Your studies have been completed, and you will graduate when you go back in two months.

The Far East Branch will assign graduates to positions around the world, so wouldn't it be a good time for you to go back then?"

Shen Yunie simply replied: "Because I miss home."

Lewis' words became stuck in her throat, and she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. In the end, she looked at the boy with regret. The other party did not belong to Destiny or Valkyrie, but to Saint Freya.

In the next week, Shen Yunie did not see anyone else, only training and fighting. He did not accept the suggestion of moving into a nursing home, as the boy did not like noisy places, and now he wanted to leave Valkyrie as soon as possible.

In the spotless room, the young man sat on the hospital bed and watched the news on TV with a calm expression. It was about the earthquake in Queenstown, New Zealand. This collapse has been going on for a long time and there is still no root cause for the solution. Many buildings were destroyed in the earthquake and a large number of people were killed and injured. Now it has come to the point where reinforcements are needed. No, reinforcements have been needed a long time ago.

Shen Yunie watched for a while and then turned the TV to the channel that Leah liked.

The improvement in training has reached its limit, and he wants to go back, but this place doesn't belong to him.

The sound of gentle knocks on the door disturbed the boy's thoughts. Shen Yunie cast his gaze towards the door that was gently pushed open. Shen Ning, whom he had not seen for a long time, walked into the room cautiously.

"Sorry, I think I disturbed you." Shen Ning smiled at him. Her personality had not changed much. She was still as timid as before, but she smiled more and more. As she was doing her own training, the girl's temperament was also changing. Her timidity was gradually replaced by seriousness.

Shen Ning walked up to Shen Yunie in small steps and bowed like he did the last time they met, "Shen Yunie, I'm leaving here."

"Your training has just begun and you're leaving?" Shen Yunie asked doubtfully. It would take at least a year to improve an ordinary person's physique to the point where they could transplant the stigmata, and now it's only been two weeks since Shen Ning started training.

The girl raised her head and smiled helplessly. "Well, because my physique is too weak, no matter how much training I do, it is difficult to reach the requirements for transplanting the stigmata. The best choice is to join the official Valkyrie organization and start working directly. This is my own choice."

"Every Valkyrie has a holy mark." Shen Yunie frowned.

Shen Ning was a little embarrassed and smiled foolishly, "I know that one of the conditions for becoming a Valkyrie is to have a stigma. Without a stigma, you can only be a logistics staff or clean up the battlefield."

For her, this was a destined thing. Shen Ning could not break through this shackles, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not become a Valkyrie.

"It is destined that I cannot avenge my parents myself, but watching those monsters die is enough. I want to become a logistics Valkyrie."

The girl was a little absent-minded, and her expression became firm after mumbling. She showed Shen Yunie that silly smile again, "This is enough. Without you, I can't even be a logistics staff. Shen Yunie, thank you!"

Shen Yunie has seen many people, including Yuno and Tachibana Hinata who fought against fate, and Shen Ning who surrendered to fate. He would not persuade the other party to resist, because this was the choice made by the girl herself.

"when are we leaving?"

"We left today in the afternoon. I didn't ask where we were going. I think anywhere is fine."

Before leaving, Shen Ning thanked the boy earnestly. Time was no longer waiting for her. There would be a warship heading to the branch. She would take that warship to the place she longed for.

Shen Ning walked to the door, waved and smiled, "Goodbye."

"See you."

Shen Yunie was also leaving. He had refused to go to training today and was going to fight with the Herrscher's energy. Shen Ning's departure and farewell did not cause him much emotional turmoil. The young man lay on his back on the bed, slowly closing his eyes. The urgent ringing of the phone once again disturbed his plan.

The number displayed on the phone was an unremarked number. Shen Yunie hesitated for a moment before choosing to connect, and then a cold voice came.

"Come to the research institute. There is a way to help you defeat the Herrscher's energy. Gnius' research is almost done."

It was Schrödinger's voice. I don't know where the doctor got it from or if he hacked in. As for the attack, she was obviously involved. Shen Yunie didn't answer. The temptation in the doctor's words and his dislike for this place made him stiff.

The doctor seemed to understand this. Seeing that the boy didn't answer for a long time, he continued, "You can't defeat the Herrscher by training alone. You need the power to take you to that place. I believe you have witnessed the power of the Herrscher. Gneius is a soul transformation device. It can help you."

Shen Yunie sighed softly and replied, "I understand."

34. Why don’t you take off your pants too?

In the research institute, Changguang and Schrodinger were both sitting in front of the screen, busy at work. It was Schrodinger who called Shen Yunie over. At this time, the boy had already arrived, but she was concentrating on looking at the screen and didn't even look at him.

"Knight of the Black Abyss, I thought you had left." Changguang stopped his work and greeted the young man enthusiastically.

"Actually, yes. After the stigmata surgery was completed, I had no reason to stay any longer. I have my home to return to, and that's enough." Shen Yunie gave a reply without any reluctance. He turned his gaze to Schrödinger, who had not explained anything to him until now.

Changguang couldn't help showing a regretful expression after hearing this and sighed: "That's a pity. If you were here, my experiment would be much more fun."

Her pleasure might be to have this very good male experimental subject, and to develop many technological props that male Honkai users can use based on him. Shen Yunie is very rare and unique, but this may not be the case in the next ten years.

Shen Yunie walked up to the doctor who was concentrating on his research and said concisely, "Dr. Schrödinger, Gnius."

Schrodinger stopped working and looked back at him. His tone was not as cold as on the phone. He said in a slightly gentler tone, "I know. Wait a moment."

The screen showed a large amount of data entering a carrier. The doctor pushed the chair and reached out to take the object and put it on the table. It was a bracelet, and the surface looked very simple, with only silver-gray unknown metal paint and scratches from friction. "This is the Gnius bracelet, which is a semi-finished product for now.

Its use is to use a specific chip to enhance the quality of the human body, to connect Gnius with the back garden that humans currently yearn for, and even to the place where the Law-Bearer's energy is, it can take you there."

"What place is that?" Shen Yunie looked at the bracelet in confusion. The knowledge that the doctor shared was beyond his impression of the world.

"The Quantum Ocean, a place you may be able to access in the future."

Shen Yunie was about to take the bracelet, but was stopped by Schrodinger when he reached out his hand. The doctor said calmly: "You can't use it for the time being. The initial development stage of Gnius is for S-class Valkyries. Your physical fitness does not meet the requirements. If you use it, you will most likely die. Besides, it can also prevent accidents."

Shen Yunie didn't like this feeling. He had been making progress in the battle with Xilin, but it would take a long time to break through those countless spears. He didn't like being someone else's test subject. "So do I still need to train? I'll be its first test subject."

The boy was obviously resisting. Seeing him like this, Schrodinger just turned his head calmly and acquiesced. Her white fingers quickly tapped on the screen. She paused and said, "Shen Yunie, you should know that there are many Valkyries in the world who are sick. There are many people like you who have lost their Honkai energy. But do you know why? We will help you solve this problem and let you be a test subject?

Because Bishop Otto values ​​you, he ordered us to help you solve this problem, and Gnius also developed it according to your problem. If you want to rely on yourself, that's fine, and then we should be back to the headquarters research institute, and our mission will be completed.

There are so many sick people in the world, and you are the special one.”

Changguang, who was standing by and listening, gave him an awkward smile, as if acknowledging that what Schrödinger said was true.

Shen Yunie wanted to pick up the bracelet again. This time, Schrodinger did not stop him. He put the heavy bracelet on his other wrist and stood in front of the bracelet given by Fu Hua. "How long will the training take?"

"For one month, Valkyrie's resources will be poured into you." Schrodinger answered him calmly.

"it is good."

After the physical examination and submission of the data, Otto's promised upgrade plan for Shen Yunie began. The two doctors had many opportunities to obtain his normal blood, but it was difficult to obtain his blood when he was using Honkai energy. Once he fell into a deep sleep, the Black Abyss White Flower would stop transmitting energy to him.

The simplest way is to wait until he recovers his strength, but the two doctors are not interested in provoking the boy, so let's leave this matter to Rita who has accepted the task.

Shen Yunie returned to the hospital and found a person whom he had not seen for a long time sitting in the ward. When he saw him coming back, the other person raised his eyelids and looked at him, and said helplessly: "When you left the institute, the doctor asked me to come to work. You know, I came here because of Miss Youlan Daier. Doing other things will only make me feel that I am wasting my time."

Facing Rita's complaints, Shen Yunie sat beside the bed and asked in confusion: "But what can you do? I don't need to learn any knowledge related to assassination and infiltration."

"Regarding the adjustment of dietary nutrition, this is also the first time we are researching an improvement plan for people who are not born with stigmata, so we need to try everything." Rita smiled as she said this, "So you will need to eat the food I adjust for a long time."

Since they said they were devoting resources to improve Shen Yunie, they would naturally fulfill their promise. Otto was not just talking casually, he had many complicated thoughts about the boy, but he had already said what he had said to all the doctors when he finished the Serenity Gem.

But the protagonist never showed up, so the plan was never implemented.

There was no need to question Rita's cooking skills. Shen Yunie couldn't find any doubts. He said "oh" lightly and asked, "Will you poison it?"

"Yes, so will Student Shen eat something poisonous in order to improve himself?" Rita raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a playful and mysterious smile.

Before Shen Yunie could answer, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor of the ward, and then Youlan Daier appeared in front of him. The girl smiled at him, "Brother, in the future, Mr. Lewis and I will help you train according to the amount of exercise I did when I was an A-level Valkyrie."

As long as Shen Yunie is willing, all the people in Valkyrie will come to help him. The young man looked at the two of them quietly for a long time, then turned his head and looked out the window, "I really want to go back."

……

All the training started from the next day. At dawn, Shen Yunie had already woken up and lay on his back on the bed with his eyes empty and absent-minded. He kept this expression for a long time, with a complex expression on his face. He was already able to destroy two thousand spears. He only needed to take a glance to know the trajectory of the spear and which part of the body it would attack.

It was getting easier and easier to dodge, but the difficulty was the consumption of physical strength. There would always be a time when he was too slow to react, and when his body became weak, the moment of his death would come. It seemed that he still had to accept Valkyrie's help. Shen Yunie hated this place because of the strangeness, but he would not resist what the other party gave him.

Those were all earned when he almost sacrificed his life in the battle with the Herrscher, and they originally belonged to him.

The door was pushed open, and Rita, dressed in black and white maid clothes, walked in with a cart. She looked like a maid who was diligently preparing breakfast for her master. Her eyes fell on the dazed boy. She hesitated for a few seconds and said faintly, "Student Shen, did you deliberately open your clothes for me to see?"

There were many bruises on the boy's chest and abdominal muscles, which were getting stronger through exercise. They were glittering and shiny. They were the medicine that had just been applied. He came to his senses and closed his clothes, explaining casually, "Because I had to apply the medicine, I didn't know you would really come."

Rita felt that the other party was certain that he would break the appointment. She looked at him with a resentful look and said, "It seems that you still underestimate my professional ethics. Why don't you take off your pants too?"

"If you want to see it, you can."

The gaze on Shen Yunie was much sharper, as if if he made a small move, Rita's sickle would chop him down in the next moment. As a woman, no matter what she said or did, she would be at a disadvantage. Rita knew this very well and stopped talking.

Shen Yunie didn't really take off his pants. Just because he was not on guard didn't mean he was not on guard. After all, he was a patient and who knew if any doctor would come to check on his condition. He stood up and looked at the breakfast prepared for him on the cart.

Rita's cooking skills are very good, and many top chefs in the world recognize her cooking skills. Naturally, the presentation and taste are the best. The boy's eyes fell on the plate, staring at it for a long time before looking up at Rita, "Did you really poison the breakfast?"

The plants on the plate were purple-black, as if they were all burnt and soaked in an unknown liquid, and placed randomly on the plate. It was impossible to tell what the ingredients were. The smell was very light, a mixture of dozens of perfumes that was so fragrant that it was greasy and disgusting. Shen Yunie had smelled that it was the blood of a Honkai beast.

"It's really poisonous~" Rita, who had the upper hand, smiled and said in an unquestionable tone, "You have to finish it all."

Shen Yunie looked at her in confusion. If she really wanted to poison, she shouldn't have made the appearance so ugly. It was like the corpse of a Honkai beast, but that kind of corpse could not be preserved. It would quickly turn into liquid and dissipate after it died.

Rita sat opposite the boy, her legs folded together under her skirt, the black silk material seemed to glow in the sunlight, and she placed the plate on the table. She still had to explain, otherwise who would eat this kind of thing, "This is made of plants and animals corroded by the blood of the Honkai beast, with a slight Honkai energy, it is indeed poisonous if eaten, and normal people will soon be transformed into dead soldiers.

But we are different. We already have resistance, so it is okay to eat this. The human body is human after all. You need to make sure that there is Honkai energy in your body at all times. You can only cultivate it slowly by eating these."

"Wouldn't that just turn yourself into a monster? Have you ever eaten this?" Shen Yunie asked calmly.

"Yes. We are already monsters. The difference between us and Honkai beasts is that we can think normally. Honkai beasts absorb Honkai energy by killing warriors and their kind. We can also kill enemies on the battlefield to improve, or transplant the second stigma to increase the amount of Honkai energy stored. It's essentially the same.

Many Valkyries become crazy due to long-term fighting, and even turn into high-risk dead soldiers. You should have encountered them, right? Is it the same as Honkai Beast? "Rita answered indifferently. She could reject herself from being a human being, so she naturally had her resistance. Now she has calmly accepted this setting.

She rarely smiled at the boy, a pure smile without any complicated emotions, "Don't deny yourself like this, we are still human beings, we can think, have emotions, and can do what we like. Eat, Shen, this will be your staple food for the rest of your life."

"It's rare to hear Teacher Rita's teachings." After receiving such an explanation, Shen Yunie's mood gradually calmed down. However, when he really wanted to eat that kind of food, he still felt a sense of resistance in his heart. He picked up the plate with difficulty and simply took a big bite.

The taste was as bad as expected, it felt like chewing a piece of plastic or Leah's lipstick, the smell was so sweet that it was sickening. Shen Yunie chewed two or three times and then quickly continued eating. He didn't want to stop, for fear that he would not be able to bear it and spit it out.

"Is this really edible?" Leah frowned and looked at the purple-black object on the plate with fear, which could no longer be called food.
