Thousands of fireworks, enjoy the joy from Honkai Impact 3

What's more, for Otto, the ability that Hanabi possesses is just a small chance to revive Kallen, and it is not something that can be 100% certain.

Even if he has reached some kind of agreement with Hanabi, it doesn't mean that Otto will foolishly wait for Hanabi to help him.

Otto will always hold the initiative tightly and will not let others take control of his sovereignty and make him rely on others.

It was because Otto also had his own plans and did not intend to change them easily that the future Sirin awakened, and then a heavyweight Ruler of Consciousness descended.

How could such an Otto actually approach her? Either there was a conspiracy, or a problem that even Otto found vexing.

It seems that I have to go to Otto later. It's a good opportunity to solve the problem of the Herrscher of Knowledge. It's been so long, Otto should have prepared what I need.

"Um, do you want me to contact headquarters? If the bishop has something urgent, he might contact us personally."

Seeing that Hanabi was lost in thought because of her answer, Anna stood there hesitant for a while, but still did not say anything to disturb her. It was not until Hanabi came to her senses that she asked.

"No, I'll go find him myself later. Compared to that old man who has lived for hundreds of years, of course the beautiful girl here is more important. Come on, walk around with me."

She waved her hand nonchalantly. Although Otto looked anxious, Hanabi was not anxious at all.

Since he still has the energy to issue a missing person notice, even if there is really trouble, it is obviously still under Otto's control, so there is no need to worry at all.

You can doubt Otto's intentions and suspect that he has a conspiracy, but you don't need to doubt Otto's ability and his love for Kallen.

Even if it is just for Kallen to have a peaceful life after her resurrection, Otto will do his best to protect this world.

So, Hanabi, who had 100% trust in Otto, grabbed Anna's still struggling hand and rushed directly into the bustling street.

Coral Island is a newly developed area jointly developed by multiple countries, so there's no shortage of dining, entertainment, and recreational facilities. It's a rare day off, so if you can let go and enjoy it, you won't regret visiting here.

The islands surrounded by the sea and the tall buildings are a blend of human technology and natural vegetation.

In the climate where it is summer all year round, various flowers bloom for a long time, and there are a large number of different species of birds. This is where nature and humanity meet.

As long as you have an eye for discovery, you can find countless charming scenery here.

Although Anna usually looks cheerful and always seems to be bright and cheerful, she also acts like a peacemaker with no temper in front of her teammates.

But in fact, Anna's personality is a bit introverted. She is not good at dealing with strangers and often seems to be forcing herself.

She saw through Anna's true intentions at the first sight of their meeting. Therefore, in her communication with Anna, Huo took the initiative to approach her again and again, forcefully intervening in her mental defenses, causing her to retreat step by step, and soon she took the initiative.

After taking the initiative in getting along with Anna, it was difficult for Anna to refuse Hanabi's request given her personality.

Anna usually won't refuse unless the request is really difficult to fulfill or she is absolutely unwilling to do so.

So, on this rare day off, Hua Huo took Anna to various places on this bustling island, where there were lively streets, fragrant delicacies, exquisite and lovely decorations, and beautiful and harmonious natural scenery.

As Hua Huo took her out for fun again and again, Anna gradually relaxed and blended into the surrounding atmosphere.

His originally cautious attitude changed unconsciously, and getting along with Hanabi became more natural.

The quarrel among the team members in the morning was also forgotten. Now her heart was filled with joy. She strolled from morning till sunset and spent the happiest day since she came to Coral Island, no, perhaps it should be said that since the establishment of the Snow Lotus Team.

There is no need to estimate the team's situation, no need to think about the responsibilities and burdens on your shoulders, and no need to pay attention to the quarrels and conflicts between team members.

Just immersed in this happy play.

At this moment, Anna is an ordinary girl, Anna Shaniat, not Anna, the captain of the Snow Lotus Team.

It’s a pity that happy times always come to an end. As the sun sets in the west, the end of the day arrives as promised.

PS: Today's second chapter is updated. At this point, all the rewards for the additional chapters have been paid off.

I still have two chapters to update after I finish my work, so I'll give it a few days. I'll see when I have free time in the second half of the month.

Chapter 218: Sunset

On the central main island of Coral Island, apart from the rail elevator, there is a commercial building that is rich in almost all the entertainment facilities in the world and stands tallest.

This commercial building was funded by a super consortium from a small country in East Asia.

Although it is a small country consortium, in fact, there are shadows of many large Western consortiums behind this consortium.

In that small country, even the appointment of the president needs to be approved by the consortium.

There are even rumors that this consortium was secretly supported by Bishop Otto of the Mandate of Heaven, so that if there is a power struggle in the Mandate of Heaven, there will be a backup plan to turn defeat into victory.

Of course, most people don't believe such rumors.

After all, that was Otto. Who had the ability to overthrow him?

Regardless of who is behind this consortium, at least its vision is indeed outstanding.

When Coral Island was first established, the consortium invested in purchasing the land near the orbital elevator and built this super-large commercial building that integrates almost all entertainment projects in the world.

The first floor of this commercial building is the reception hall. In addition to human receptionists, it is also equipped with advanced artificial intelligence guidance robots. There are also many sofas, tables and chairs near the hall for tourists to take a temporary rest.

After leaving the first floor, the second to fifth floors are all filled with various star-rated hotels and unique snack bars from all over the world.

The sixth to tenth floors are shopping malls, and the tenth to fifteenth floors are various leisure and entertainment facilities, including gyms, Internet cafes, video game arcades, VR, board games, escape rooms, etc.

The 16th to 18th floors have been completely connected to form a super large artificial oceanarium. In addition to the elevators and stairs, the remaining space is occupied by a huge pool, where various tropical fish swim around for viewing.

After the 18th floor, there is the VIP casino, which has a group of professional dealers recruited by a consortium from famous casinos around the world.

Above the 20th floor, there are shooting ranges, indoor golf, holographic projection theaters, etc.

After the 30th floor, there are various luxurious suites for passengers to rest...

On the top floor of this commercial building, there is a huge sky garden with fresh air and lush vegetation. The entire coral island can be clearly seen through the telescope installed nearby.

At this time, after a whole day of playing, at the initiative of Anna, she and Hua Huo came to the sky garden on the top floor of the mall.

"Ah, the sun is about to set."

With her hands resting on the outermost fence of the Sky Garden, Anna looked at the setting sun that had already turned completely red and said with a sigh.

"it's beautiful."

Looking from afar, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky and the sea orange. At the intersection of the sky and the sea, the half-sinking and half-rising sun was no longer as dazzling as at noon, and the huge red sphere could be clearly seen.

This is indeed a beautiful scene that is not often seen in other places.

“I really want time to stay at this moment.”

He withdrew his gaze from the distant sunset and looked at the fireworks standing beside him, watching the sunset with him.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Hua Huo's face, making it red and adding an extra touch of brilliant color to her.

Even though we were just new acquaintances, the relaxed and carefree feeling I had when I was with Hanabi was real.

Especially compared with the various troubles and worries in the recent period, the ease and happiness at this moment are so clear and so nostalgic.

After all, after today, Anna will have to return to her original work.

The work of guarding the rail elevator is not heavy and there is basically nothing to do normally.

What is troubling is the leaders of various countries on the Coral Island. Almost every one of them wants to find something to hold against the Snow Lotus Team, and every one of them wants to use the power of the Valkyrie through various means to achieve their own goals.

Compared to the power of mortals, the powerful strength of a Valkyrie who can form an army by herself is indeed something that those people desire.

Of course, there are also some people who want to use the Valkyrie's intelligence to achieve some more personal goals, such as... the elixir of the Bishop of Destiny.

Just thinking about the never-ending wrangling and various conspiracies, Anna felt dizzy and didn't want to let time continue to move forward.

"Time never stops, just like people never stand still. Anna, you may be stuck in your current situation, but people will eventually grow. Through various difficulties and trials, one, two, three years, perhaps, you will become an adult who is at ease and at ease, navigating various forces with ease, forcing those ambitious and filthy people to kowtow to you, even though they are clearly unhappy, but they have to pretend to please you."

Turning her head, she met Anna's pale pink eyes, which were different from those of the Valkyries and Herrschers that Hanabi had encountered before.

Anna seems a bit ordinary in appearance, temperament, and even ability.

Being ordinary doesn't mean having no advantages. She may need to grow in her abilities, but Anna's pink eyes make people naturally look towards her.

Anna has the ability to make others listen to her carefully. Although she is still a little clumsy and not careful enough, she is so sincere that people can't help but like her and let down their guard.

"Thank you for the encouragement, Hanabi."

Although he had never told Hanabi about any of his troubles and difficulties, it seemed as if Hanabi already knew about the difficulties he encountered.

This was something that should have made people wary, but looking into Hanabi's eyes and thinking back on the day's experiences, Anna couldn't doubt Hanabi's intentions at all.

Moreover, since she is the person that Bishop Otto is looking for, Hanabi must not be a bad person.

Thinking this in her heart, Anna, comforted by Hanabi's words, couldn't help but smile.

Especially when she followed Hua Huo's words and imagined those bald or pot-bellied executives from various countries groveling before her, Anna laughed even more happily.

Just as Anna's mood improved and she continued to admire the sunset that was about to set completely, Anna's communication device made a sound, obviously receiving a message from someone unknown.

Anna, in a good mood, took out the communication device in the evening breeze.

When the messages on the communication device came into view, all the good mood was destroyed at that moment.

[Captain, I want to quit the Snow Lotus Squad]

[Anna, sorry, I'm going back to headquarters]

"Anna, Coral Island isn't for me. Let headquarters recommend a Valkyrie who's more adept at this kind of work."

As if it was arranged in advance, text messages were sent to Anna's communication device one after another. They were all messages from other members of the Snow Lotus Team.

In just a few minutes, at least half of the people sent messages expressing their desire to quit or change jobs.

PS: Chapters 216/217 have been modified. If you want to read back, please click to refresh this chapter.

Chapter 219: Anna is in trouble

"Why are you all like this? I can't do anything. If you were the captain, you'd definitely be able to do better than me.

Why should I run away? It’s all my fault. In the end, I’m the only one left.

Because I ran away, I was a deserter, so I didn't save her and deliberately ignored her call for help. Everyone else died because I ran away. It must be like this.

I was the only one who shamefully escaped, the only one who survived. In the end, I became the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad. I was incompetent and careless, knowing nothing and being incapable of doing anything.

In the end, nothing was left.

I'm the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, but I've led them into this state. What on earth am I doing? Why am I even alive?

Looking at the communication device in her hand that received the text message, Anna's vision gradually blurred, and the clear handwriting became hazy and distorted under the cover of liquid.

But even though she could no longer see the words clearly, Anna clearly remembered what she had just seen.

At this moment, the Snow Lotus team was about to fall apart, which might have dealt a heavy blow to Anna's spirit.

In fact, Anna's mental state has not been very good since the Manila collapse last year.

All the Valkyries of the original Snow Lotus team were wiped out, leaving only Anna alive.

The first time I encountered a Honkai disaster, it was a massive one that affected a huge area. Everything I learned during training was completely forgotten because of panic and nervousness. I only remembered to run away, keep running away, and keep running away.

Even though she heard the people's cries for help and saw people injured, Anna did not stop and failed to lend a helping hand.

Even after he reaffirmed his faith and remembered the idea of ​​protecting humanity against collapse, he devoted himself to the rescue work again.

But the lives that could not be saved during the previous escape could no longer be saved.

Whenever Anna wakes up in the middle of the night, she thinks of those who asked her for help, and the innocent little faces to whom she was unable to lend a helping hand.

In addition, all his familiar teammates were killed, and even the captain he admired died in the battle against Honkai.

The people who could not be saved, the teammates who all died, the terrifying and dangerous collapse, everything weighed on Anna's heart, making her suffer tremendous psychological pressure.

In addition to being busy rebuilding the Snow Lotus Team, Anna didn't want the final mark left by the captain and teammates to disappear, so she wanted the Snow Lotus Team to continue.

But obviously, the reality is not as simple as Anna imagined.

The reconstruction work, the running-in with teammates, the clash of personalities, and all the sarcasm and self-talk after arriving on the Coral Island, all the mutual exploitation and ambitious calculations made Anna exhausted.

If we say that Anna's mental state itself is on the edge of a cliff because of the sacrifice of the Snow Lotus team and her regret for not being able to save the people.

Then, the various problems encountered in rebuilding the Snow Lotus Team gradually became a burden on Anna.

Everything that happened on the coral island was like a rainstorm, soaking the ground and soaking Anna's body and mind.

The heavy rain gradually wet and softened the ground on the edge of the cliff.

The heavy rain moistened the earth bit by bit, applying a lubricating BUFF to the cliff.
