People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

[Stuck with Theresa. (Xia Ling and Kiana all joined Theresa's team)]

[Pretend to faint, leaving Kiana to take care of herself. (Xia Ling and Kiana all leave the team)]

"I remember... in the original story, Regianna followed Theresa, right?"

Xia Ling was rubbing his hands, eager to give it a try.

[That's right, and in the original work, Theresa originally wanted Kiana to stay here, but it was under Siegfried's persuasion that Theresa brought Kiana with her.]

"Hehe, since you want to cause trouble, then you'll naturally have to give Xilin some tough jobs. I want to see if Xilin can turn the script around."

"Hehehe, Xilin, I'm going to take Kiana with me and become a deserter!"

Xia Ling chose the third option without hesitation, and at the same time, the plot entered the CG mode again.

"Hey, Theresa, Xia Ling, you're finally here."

"I heard that you met the Second Herrscher before. I was really worried about you, okay?"

The white-haired man sat on several stacked wooden boxes and greeted Theresa enthusiastically.

"Hmph, I don't care about your worries, you pervert." Theresa snorted. Although Kiana had asked her not to tell Siegfried that she was his daughter and to deal with it after the war, this did not mean that the matter was over. Facing Siegfried, Theresa did not want to give him a good face now.

Siegfried was not surprised by Theresa's attitude. Ever since he married Cecilia, Theresa, who felt that her good friend had been taken away, had never treated him well.

But, this girl following Theresa...why does her hair and eye color look familiar?

"Oh, okay, okay, by the way, this beautiful lady next to you is..."

"Beautiful lady, if there is a chance, I would really like to buy you a drink."

It's just as out of tune as always... Xia Ling took a step forward and said, "Ahem, Siegfried, you have to tease such a little sister. She's from your Kaslana family. Who knows, she might have some relationship with you."

"Or do you plan to continue your great cause of touching the buttocks of the Full-fate Valkyries and include us Valkyries who joined later?"

"Puff——" Siegfried spat out a mouthful of water.

"What? He has done such a thing?" Kiana widened her eyes, feeling that the image of her father, which was not very majestic to begin with, was shattered in her memory.

"Wait, Xia Ling, I told you that Shi Yu Qi Luo made that up! Don't ruin my reputation in front of the new Valkyrie. Since I married Cecilia, I haven't even been to the bar much!"

"Hmph, you're the best." Theresa curled her lips and said, "Okay, Siegfried, stop wasting time and tell me what's going on now."

"There's bad news, and there's worse news."

Siegfried's expression was somewhat solemn.

"The bad news is that the Valkyrie troops have been dispatched to search for the Second Herrscher, but they have not found anything yet."

"The worse news is that since the operation has not made any progress, Bishop Otto has ordered Cecilia to attack."

"What? But Cecilia's physical condition doesn't allow her to participate in the battle!"

Theresa's tone became a little flustered.

"Yes, so..."

Siegfried's tone became firm.

"Cecilia will arrive in Siberia in thirty minutes. Before that, we must find the Second Herrscher and then kill her."

At this time, the communication device on the side also issued a prompt, and two coordinates were displayed on the screen.

"Report, we have received communications from the Valkyries in areas O-17 and O-23. They have both discovered traces of the Second Herrscher."

"Damn it, are you trying to separate us?"

"There is no other choice, Theresa. I'll go to O-23 and you go to O-17. Whoever finds the target will be welcome."

Theresa nodded and looked at Kiana beside her.

"Kiana, you stay here. It's safer here."

"Wait?" Siegfried asked in confusion.

"Well, you didn't expect it, Siegfried, her name is the same as your one-year-old daughter's, both are called Kiana."

Theresa said proudly, with her hands on her hips.

"I'm not really surprised by this. I want to ask... Is there something wrong with Xia Ling's condition?"

"???"

Theresa turned her head sharply, only to find that Xia Ling, who had just said she wanted to sit next to her for a while, had begun to stagger.

"Wait, Xia Ling?"

"Sister Xia Ling!"

Amid the two people's exclamations, Xia Ling fell to the ground.

"The previous wound has cracked a bit and I lost too much blood. I can't tell whether it's infected yet..."

Siegfried supported Xia Ling's body and briefly checked her injuries.

"Well, what should we do... It's too late to send her back now..."

"Well...send a distress signal to the headquarters and ask them to send someone over."

Siegfried pondered and said, "Kiana, only S-class warriors can barely contend with the Herrscher. You won't be of much use if you follow us. How about you stay here and take care of the seriously injured Xia Ling?"

"Wait until the transport plane from headquarters arrives, then come back and rejoin the team."

Chapter 8 Remember, this is a game

"I......"

After taking a look at the unconscious Xia Ling, Kiana sighed.

She could still distinguish between illusion and reality. Compared to following Theresa to face the Second Herrscher, Xia Ling's health was obviously more worthy of concern.

"I understand. Let me take care of Sister Xia Ling."

Kiana nodded.

"This is our communication channel, Kiana. Although the possibility is small, it is not impossible for the Second Herrscher to counterattack here."

Theresa handed a communicator to Kiana: "If anything happens, contact us from here. You should know how to use this thing."

Kiana was not thinking about this at the moment. Instead, she was worried about Xia Ling and Cecilia who was rushing to Siberia. She took the communicator handed over by Theresa and put it in her pocket.

"Well, the three of you, take care."

Siegfried waved his hand and walked into the snowstorm first.

"Well, take care, Kiana. Xia Ling is in your care."

Theresa looked back at the unconscious Xia Ling, then turned and walked towards O-17.

"Dad, aunt..."

Looking at their backs, Kiana muttered to herself.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Kiana, who was still feeling melancholy, suddenly heard some noise behind her.

She turned her head in confusion and found that Xia Ling had sat up and was looking at her quietly.

"Wow! Sister Xia Ling, why did you pretend to be dead? You scared me!"

[Host, do you need to communicate with Kiana yourself next? ]

"Can this still happen?"

[How should I put it... Because the team is divided into teams, the leadership of the team has now been transferred to you, so the host will have more authority accordingly. ]

"But...even if that's the case, based on what happened just now, shouldn't the captain be Kiana?" Xia Ling asked doubtfully.

[After Kiana saw you wake up, she subconsciously began to follow your will, so the captain automatically turned to you. You can understand that there can only be one teammate and brain unique to the Kaslana family.]

“This is really an image…”

Xia Ling pulled the microphone generated in front of the screen and spoke in sync with Xia Ling on the screen.

"Ahem, Kiana, listen to me. I just pretended to faint on purpose to get Theresa and Siegfried away."

"The situation is urgent now. You should have come in directly from the data space outside, right?"

"Yeah, yes, I saw my aunt..."

"You don't need to explain to me the reason. No matter if you are out of curiosity or for some other reason, since it has already happened, let's solve the problem at hand first."

Xia Ling said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the conditions are for you to leave this data space. This thing is now like a game copy, it has become difficult to figure out, and the situation is quite different from the real history."

"I know your history grades, so I won't tell you more. According to the current situation, we can assume that we need to clear this dungeon before we can return to reality."

Without waiting for Kiana to react, Xia Ling bombarded Kiana's brain with long paragraphs of analysis.

This is also part of Xia Ling's plan. She needs to reinforce her understanding that "this is a game" again and again, and tell her that this "copy" is different from normal history.

In this way, no matter the result is success or failure, when Xilin controls Kiana, this experience will no longer be a breakthrough for Kiana.

"Game? Oh, I was so focused on Lady Cecilia that I almost forgot that this is still a data space..."

Kiana's voice dropped a little.

"Don't be discouraged." Xia Ling placed her hand on Kiana's head and gently stroked her smooth white hair: "Even in games, there is a distinction between HE and BE."

"Now that you know this, shouldn't you be more relaxed and try to achieve the best possible outcome?"

"And... Theresa told me something about you." Xia Ling's tone softened: "I know what you are thinking. Coincidentally, I think the same as you."

"Why not take this opportunity to go see your mother with your own eyes?"

"Um......"

Kiana rubbed Xia Ling's hand like a kitten and nodded gently.

"Then, Sister Xia Ling...where should we go now?"

"Where to go... We'll talk about this later."

Xia Ling shook her head: "I said this is not real history, but the trajectory of history can still be traced. I will analyze the map later to see if it can match the memory in my mind..."

"Then why later?"

"Because I need you to treat me quickly, at least give me an injection of adrenaline..."

Xia Ling said speechlessly: "Although Data's body can't feel pain, theoretically, my body will die too. Maybe I will be kicked out directly after I die."

"Considering that you still need me as an external brain, why don't you just spare my life?"

"!?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, Sister Xia Ling, I forgot you were still seriously injured. I will treat you right away..."

Kiana finally reacted and started to treat Xia Ling.

......

Ten minutes later, Xia Ling successfully stood up and stretched her body.

"Sure enough, the results are quick in the data space."

"Kiana, take the communicator, we are leaving."

"Great!"

[Hint: Now you can freely choose your route.]

"Finally, I don't have to follow Theresa blindly..."

Seeing that his health points still did not exceed double digits, Xia Ling began to check the map.

"If I remember correctly, the Second Herrscher should have appeared at Siegfried's place..."

"Then Siegfried used the Holy Fire Judgement..."

"The Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire? It's the handsome pair of guns that my stinky dad has."

"That's right. When fully liberated, the fully liberated Holy Fire Judge has the ability to kill the Herrscher with one strike, as long as he can hit the target."

"But I remember from the history books that the Second Collapse didn't end here..."

"Yes, after all, Silin is the Herrscher of the Void, so it is very easy for her to escape. According to records, Cecilia rushed to the battlefield and cured Siegfried with the Black Abyss White Flower, but her own strength was greatly reduced as a result."
