Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

The Herrscher's special ability is much stronger than ordinary abilities. When the woman appeared from the shadows again, she had recovered and was covered with wounds. She hugged her arms and prepared to escape from the alley with fear on her face. A voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Guest, you can't escape today~"

164. Happy cooperation

The woman could never have imagined that the fighting power she attracted would be so high that she could not deal with anyone. Whether it was the young man or the two women in front of her, she was knocked down in an instant, and then her consciousness quickly blurred and faded away.

The woman who originally looked like a monster in the shadow returned to her original appearance, but the difference was that the joints of her body were still gray-gold, and invisible threads connected the joints, making her look like a puppet being manipulated.

"She shouldn't be dead, right?" Yulandel slowly put it down. She had restrained a lot of strength when she threw that punch. Otherwise, with the hardness of a woman's shell, one punch would be enough to turn the other person into powder.

Rita leaned over to look at the ordinary face, flipped the other person's eyelids with two fingers, and confirmed: "He is not dead, he just fainted due to the external force."

Youlandel thought carefully about the monster's appearance, her expression solemn, "It's a creature I've never seen before, like a modular building block."

The Thousand Herrschers are both a thousand people and one person. They may combine the building blocks to become a real Herrscher at a certain time.

Rita smiled with the corners of her lips raised: "Let's leave quickly, otherwise other hunters will be here soon."

This time they took advantage of others. Not long ago, Alvette's detection equipment sensed the second Houkai reaction. Who it was, the result was self-evident, so after analyzing the ability of the Herrscher, the two of them stayed nearby.

In less than half an hour, the injured monster crawled out of the shadows, and Rita and Yulandel's plan of waiting and waiting was successful.

"Will it be bad?" Yulandel was a little hesitant.

Rita picked up the unconscious woman. An enemy of this level didn't even need any confinement measures. There was no way the other party could escape from her hands.

"Miss Yulandel, we are enemies with them. We cannot have a first come first served relationship among enemies. Even my brother cannot do that."

Yulandel seemed to understand, but nodded heavily.

Under the night sky, the stars were shining brightly, and one of them suddenly became brighter and larger, and the cold winter wind blew around like a knife. Rita couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her eyes to avoid the light, but Yulandel had already stepped in front of her, and punched with her right hand.

boom!

The stars dimmed and revealed their original appearance. It was a pure white knight's spear that stopped in front of Yulandel's fist and could not move forward any further. An invisible barrier appeared between the fist and the tip of the spear, and only the roaring sound continued to be heard.

Yulandel turned her body, and the black abyss and white flowers fell deep into the ground beside her. "It seems that we can't escape. I should have listened to you earlier."

The figure stood above the house, with his large windbreaker fluttering in the wind. Shen Yunie looked at the two calmly, and the bracelet system took back the Black Abyss and White Flower, "That's the person I caught."

Rita smiled charmingly, hugged the woman in her arms tighter, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will capture you too?"

Two S-class Valkyries stood here, not afraid of even the Herrscher in front of them. On the other hand, there was only Shen Yunie, whose fighting power was totally disproportionate.

However, the two did not let down their guard. The opponent could kill the Herrscher with just a few levels of Honkai energy. The truly powerful might not be Honkai energy. The knife-like feeling came again. Rita narrowed her eyes, and her powerful perception spread to the surroundings.

She was unable to directly detect the source of the threat, which meant that the other party's potential ability was not inferior to hers. What she could feel was the sense of oppression coming from all directions. They were in the center of the vortex and could be blown up at any time.

Yulandel warned in a serious voice: "Rita, they are coming."

In an instant, a sharp blade slashed towards her from the front. The speed was so fast that Rita was stunned for a moment before she could react. Now Yulandel had no way to take care of her. At the same time, Shen Yunie rushed forward with only his fists.

The other side was also a duo and was very wise in choosing their opponents. If it was her against Shen Yunie, Rita was 100% sure that she could pin the other side down, but if it was Youlan Daier, the result would be hard to predict.

Alphdite blocked the katana's horizontal slash. Rita could feel the woman in her arms being pulled outward. She saw clearly the enemy in tight armor in front of her, "Ms. Sakura, I didn't expect it to be you."

Youlan Daier had to stand in front to protect Rita from being attacked from both sides. Shen Yunie punched her straight, and she couldn't help but hesitate about the strength of her punch. She didn't want to kill the other party, so how much strength should she use if she wanted to knock him out?

After a moment's hesitation, the fist had already reached her face, and she began to fight back.

The overwhelming force overwhelmed her, and Yulandel looked stunned. The power of her punch was not as great as Shen Yunie's. The final result was that she was knocked back several meters. Behind her was the place where Rita and Yae Sakura were fighting.

Rita looked up at her with a helpless expression.

Yulandel lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I was careless."

The girl rubbed her wrist and stepped forward again. The difference in strength between the two was huge, so Shen Yunie could exert her strength without any scruples, while she was restricted, but she couldn't let Rita, who was fighting seriously, down. So she wouldn't hesitate any more.

Shen Yunie looked into the girl's bright eyes, the power contained in them seemed like an unshakable mountain peak, and his pink and white fists whistled with the strong wind. He crossed his hands in front of his chest to block, and his fists were obviously holding back, but the penetrating impact still lifted him up.

His chest was filled with stuffiness and he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

Seeing that her ruthless attack had worked, Yulandel smiled. She expanded the range of the battle so as not to put any pressure on Rita behind her.

Just when everyone was fighting fiercely, the same sound came out of the earphones at the same time.

"Hane, Sakura, and the two over there! Can you put the competition aside for a while? The Herrscher's clone was born after losing the Honkai energy!"

Leah's helpless voice sounded. She hacked into the other party's headset to announce the news at the same time, "If we let this person escape, then we will have to go somewhere else to catch him."

Hearing the voice, Rita lowered her eyes to look at the woman in her arms. At the same time, Sakura Fubuki's sharp blade was against her snow-white neck. The pink blade reflected Yae Sakura's eyes. The latter paused for a moment and retracted the sword.

The battle between Shen Yunie and Youlan Dai'er was over, and all eyes were focused on the woman. The woman did not disappear, but was still in a coma and was held tightly by Rita.

"Sister Leah, the Herrscher's clone has not disappeared." Shen Yunie answered into the headset.

Leah looked at the decreasing value on the screen and thought, "Maybe the Tenth Herrscher is abandoning this body. Since that woman hasn't disappeared, we should probably wait until she wakes up and ask her."

Because they hacked into the communication system, Rita and Yulandel were able to hear the conversation.

After a brief silence, Shen Yunie spoke first: "Go to my place, lock her in the room and interrogate her after she wakes up. Otto is in your place, I can't rest assured."

"But we can't be sure that you will run away with others." Rita said this, holding the woman in her arms without any intention of giving in. "Since we are ready to cooperate, mutual trust is a must."

Shen Yunie thought about it and shook her head, "I can't trust Otto. I can tell you the address of my temporary residence."

He told them the hotel where they were staying temporarily. Hearing the almost identical address, Rita and Yulandel were silent for a few seconds. In that case, they didn't have to worry about running away, because Shen Yunie lived in the room next to them.

Rita walked forward and handed the woman in her arms over. "Then I wish us a happy cooperation~"

Testing instruments were attached to the woman's temple, chest, and lower abdomen, along with her vital signs, and the uncontrollable decline of Honkai energy stopped when it fell out of the range of the Honkai user.

This is the first time this has happened so far. The good news is that the woman has not disappeared, and we can get some information from her after she wakes up.

After confirming all the information, Leah looked at the others and said, "This is all we can do for now. Everyone, take a rest, or go and comfort the girl outside."

Shen Yunie pulled her up and then sat on the chair. "Sister Leah, go and have a rest. I'll be watching over you."

Leah raised the corner of her mouth and supported his shoulders, "But why don't you go and comfort that girl?"

Shen Yunie answered without thinking: "Bianca and Rita can comfort her with their abilities. You and Sister Ying can go and have a rest. Leave these matters to me."

"Got it~" Leah kissed him on the cheek, then stood up and walked towards Yae Sakura, "Come on, Sakura, let's go back and rest."

In the living room outside, Su Mian was curled up on the sofa, hugging a pillow. Her messy hair was not even lifted up, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

Suddenly encountering a stalker, coupled with the recent lingering nightmares, she didn't even have the courage to go back to her room alone. Wandering at the door of the hotel until Shen Yunie came back, Su Mian shamelessly came to stay in the same room with him.

Now that she couldn't see Shen Yunie, she was accompanied by the two beauties she met in the morning, and the fear in her heart had subsided a lot.

Su Mian squeezed the pillow in her arms. Facing the friendly smiles of the two, she felt warm in her heart. She thanked them softly, "Thank you for accompanying me..."

"You're welcome. Just rest here tonight." Yulandel sat beside her and comforted her softly, "We will all be here. You can have a good sleep."

Her legs were patted, and Rita beside her whispered, "Ms. Yulandel, has she witnessed anything related to Honkai? If so, you can apply for memory erasure and brainwashing."

"Let's talk for a while." Youlan Dai'er refused after seeing Su Mian's haggard appearance. "Let me watch over you tonight, and you can just go and rest."

There were people on both sides guarding the night, and they could handle any dangerous situation. Rita thought for a moment and gave the opportunity to clear her memory to Yulandel, and then left.

Su Mian felt extremely relieved when she was alone. She looked around the room and asked with a mixture of disappointment and curiosity, "I wonder where Shen Yunie went to interrogate that stalker?"

"Yeah, my brother is very dedicated." Yulandel agreed with her. Honkai users are also a kind of job, but it is unknown and extremely dangerous. Their main job is to prevent Honkai disasters from happening all over the world and eliminate people who have been corrupted by Honkai energy.

Attracted by the word "brother", Su Mian tilted her head and saw the long golden hair and clear blue eyes. "But you don't look like siblings at all, foster siblings?"

"We lived in the same orphanage since we were young."

165. Brother, help me

Su Mian saw the disappointment flashing in Youlan Daier's eyes. She asked tentatively, "I always feel like you're not very happy?"

"Everyone has their own troubles." Youlandel said slowly. In a short time, her expression had returned to calm. "Su Mian, you have troubles too, don't you?"

"Um……"

Su Mian was a person who could not keep secrets. On this night when she could only rely on the other person to give her a sense of security, she subconsciously said a lot of things. She believed that such a gentle Youlan Dai'er would not tell anyone.

Those troubles were nothing more than trivial matters in life and work. After Shen Yunie left a few months ago, she fell into a life like a robot, feeling indescribably sad and boring.

And the more she talked, the more sympathy Yulandel felt for her, as if she was looking in a mirror and seeing herself doing the same thing on the other side.

The two of them gradually evolved from sharing and comforting each other to sharing and comforting each other.

Shen Yunie sat quietly in the room, waiting for the woman to wake up in boredom and loneliness, until the sky became gray and the rising sun dyed the sky fiery red, and the woman on the operating table began to moan for no reason.

As the pain that dissipated due to coma resurfaced, the woman did not wake up and lose her memory. She clearly remembered what happened after the failed attack last night. Faced with the overwhelming pressure, those same people abandoned her.

"Wake up." The cold male voice woke her up completely from her daze. When the woman opened her eyes, she felt the oppressive feeling again.

"You, who are you?"

Shen Yunie rubbed his brows. The whole night of waiting was not in vain. Since the other party still had the memory, there were things he could ask.

"I need to ask you something about your crime. This is the 30th floor and you can't escape. All my abilities are much stronger than yours."

The woman began to play dumb, her eyes wide open in horror, "I don't know..."

However, the next moment, the sharp spear tip was against her throat. Shen Yunie's eyes were as cold as ice, "Of course you can choose not to tell me, but I can punish you directly on behalf of those who died."

The crime committed by a woman is already unforgivable, the only difference is whether she will die immediately or breathe more oxygen before being sentenced to death.

Two hours later, Youlandel, who had also not slept all night, walked into the room. She waited in the living room until Su Mian fell into a deep sleep before she dared to leave.

In the room was a woman who had already woken up and was huddled in a corner. Shen Yunie sat on a chair and pressed the recorder to record most of the information.

When she saw a girl coming in, the woman immediately shouted in a terrified voice: "You are illegally imprisoning me!"

Youlan Dai'er ignored her and looked at Shen Yunie. She said very straightforwardly: "Brother, have you found out?"

Shen Yunie nodded and handed her the recorder. So the woman was left alone. At this point, she no longer had any hope of escaping, and those of her kind could no longer contact her.

It was like watching a clown show. When the show was over, the audience naturally left, leaving her, the clown, wandering in the center of the stage.

All the information points to a place called the stage. Except for the Herrscher who was originally born in the stage, the rest of the chosen avatars are in the outside world and can also enter the stage.

Once discovered by the outside world, the stage will choose to cut off its tail to survive to ensure its own safety. After that, the person discovered will lose the qualification to enter.

There is no doubt that the woman being interrogated can no longer enter the stage. If Shen Yunie wants to enter the stage, she must capture the remaining Herrscher clones and enter before they are abandoned.

"We'll find the Herrscher again." Yulandel pondered, "It seems that this is the only way. Do we have to enter the stage and continue our cooperation?"

Shen Yunie stretched lazily, turned around and walked out the door, saying in a light tone, "No, the cooperation ends here. Compared to me, you are more anxious to bring back your comrades."

Looking at his back as he left without any pause, Yulandel felt lost again. In fact, she just wanted to maintain the relationship between them. Every time she returned to the base after completing a mission perfectly, she would have a sense of loss that no one shared. Rita was her best friend, but she could not replace Shen Yunie's place in her heart.

She just wanted her brother to stand by her side. She didn't have to do anything, and she would be motivated to accomplish everything.

However, Shen Yunie, who both hated and feared Otto, could not follow Yulandel anymore. After getting the answer, he had to take the two of them away. At the same time, he had to warn Fu Hua and others who were carrying out missions around the world not to approach the Herrscher's clone at will. If they accidentally entered the stage, they might face the siege of the Herrscher.

……

After knowing the general news, it was time to leave. The date that Leah mentioned had not yet taken place, so they could only regretfully come back next time. They had to solve the Herrscher's problem first.

The final division of labor became that Shen Yunie would escort the woman to the Anti-Entropy Base in Tianqiong City, where she would be punished with life imprisonment. As for Youlan Daier and Rita, they would be responsible for escorting Su Mian home, treating what happened here as a nightmare, and everything would be fine after waking up.

The woman who walked out of the hotel was already handcuffed, with messy hair and lowered head, despair crushed all her resistance. She raised her head and glanced at Su Mian, it was this last prey that caused her failure.

As if hundreds of eyes were on him, Su Mian turned back and stared at the woman in a daze. Her dark eyes flashed a gray-gold color as dark as the abyss. But the woman herself didn't understand, and after a few seconds she lowered her head again.

"Let's go." Shen Yunie opened the car door and waved to Yaezakura and Leah, "I will be back to the base soon."

This time he will be the only one escorting the women, while Leah and Yae Sakura will be the first to return to the base to make preparations for the battle.

The two cars were driving in opposite directions, and Youlandel subconsciously looked out the window at the car that was moving away from her. After this separation, it would probably be a long time before they met again.

Su Mian had already noticed her flash of disappointment. After a whole night of fermentation, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you having a conflict?"

Yulandel looked back at her, lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly, "Yes, it's a disagreement at work. Aren't there often people in those TV dramas who can't take care of their families because of their careers?"

The description is very apt, but the grievances and hatreds involved are much more complicated.

Su Mian has seen many families have such troubles since she started teaching. She thought about it carefully in her heart and said the words she originally used to comfort parents and students: "The weight of the word family is not something that can be easily let go. You think he is very good, and he thinks you are very good. Neither of you has seriously communicated with each other and asked for help."

"It's not that serious actually. We can still get along peacefully, right?" Youlandel shook her head and kept those words in mind. What happened between them should not be known to outsiders, and it was impossible to reconcile the two with simple words.

Su Mian stopped talking after hearing that the other party had no intention of talking more about this. The maturity revealed in Youlan Daier's words showed that she could handle this matter independently.

Su Mian looked out the window with a lost look. The sky reflected in the one-way glass was gray. She suddenly recalled the scene of her staring into the woman's eyes. The air seemed to stick together, and it was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.

She saw the gray-gold vortex again, and her consciousness was sucked into it.

"Su Mian, what's wrong with you?" Yulandel was the first to notice that something was wrong. The Honkai energy was actually released in the small car, but neither she nor Rita took any action.
