Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

It is said that the authentic Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire can raze an entire city with one sword - although Lin Wei never understood what kind of magical unit of measurement this was, the difference between cities was huge: a city with a population of 100,000 and a city with a population of 10 million are both "cities", but the meanings they represent are completely different!

But no matter what, there was no problem at all with his pirated copy of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire and the small tunnel boring machine above his head.

But doing so would cause more serious problems later on, as those Valkyries would not let me go so easily.

The descent took quite a while, and Lin Wei estimated it was about the same depth as the previous three floors combined. After that, the elevator began to slow down and came to a steady stop.

Lin Wei opened his eyes and walked out of the elevator with Anna. After a few steps, Lin Wei seemed to sense something, stopped, looked back, sighed, and then said softly to Anna who was a little confused,

"Let's go..."

If she could wake up earlier, Lin Wei would be very happy;

But now it was too late, he could only sigh and express his regret.

Pity……

The only thing in the world that is incurable is "regret", and the only thing that is irreversible is "missing".

……

After taking a few steps, before Lin Wei could carefully observe the environment in front of him, he suddenly felt his back tighten. Danger was approaching rapidly!

"Ah! Be careful!"

As Anna screamed, Lin Wei instinctively turned his head - an arrow with a flame passed by his ear, leaving a burning sensation in the air.

Then Anna quickly raised her gun and fired back. When the gunshot fell, a soldier who was drawing his bow and arrow fell down.

"Death warriors? Why are there death warriors here?!"

Anna looked at the fallen wreckage and exclaimed in disbelief,

"Shouldn't anyone who can reach this place have a high resistance to Honkai energy? Why are there dead soldiers here?"

As if it was a mockery of reality, as Anna's voice spread, roars began to rise one after another in the surroundings. Some hideous zombies began to walk out from the corners that were blocked from view. There were not too many of them, about twenty or so; as for high-level assassins like the one just now, there were only one or two of them.

Seeing this, Anna's face turned extremely ugly and she became extremely depressed. Why did this happen?

She had been looking forward to finding people still alive and telling them, "You are saved!"

Then take them away with you, so that your trip won't be in vain.

but now……

Anna felt the level of Honkai energy in the air, which was neither too high nor too low. The concentration of Honkai energy here was not higher than that in the second and third layers. The meaning of this made her even more depressed.

Could it be that everything here is just a complete scam?

"What are you doing standing still?"

Lin Wei's voice brought her back to reality. Pointing at the crowd of assassins heading towards her, she commanded without any guilt,

"Seize the time and make a quick decision."

Anna came to her senses. Yes, now that things had come to this, at least she and Lin Wei had to escape. So she gritted her teeth and charged towards the monsters, defeating them all with the speed and attitude of a man who vented his anger.

The speed was so fast and the time was so short that Lin Wei only had time to quickly glance at the environment here. Anna had already dealt with all the threats and returned to his side with her head down, looking depressed.

Overall, this is a fairly spacious hall, with twenty or thirty things similar to hibernation chambers neatly placed here. Most of them are open, and only a few are closed.

"Lin Wei, what should we do next?"

Anna herself saw too many casualties on this trip, but returned empty-handed, feeling quite depressed.

"I don't blame you, Anna."

Lin Wei patted Anna's shoulder and comforted her gently.

"Besides, it's time to be depressed."

What does that mean? Anna looked up in confusion, and saw that as Lin Wei finished speaking, the few closed dormant chambers slowly opened at the same time.

Could it be? Anna was delighted and watched the changes in the hatches with some trepidation, hoping for some good news.

It’s a pity that every reopened hibernation chamber Anna saw was empty, which made her heart chilled again.

"who are you?"

Suddenly, a timid female voice came from not far away, which made Anna startled and look suddenly in the direction of the voice.

Great! Someone is still alive! Anna was so happy that she almost wanted to cry.

In an inconspicuous corner, a hibernation chamber was opened, and a young girl sat up from inside. She looked at Lin Wei and Anna with some caution, and seemed to be frightened by Anna's somewhat eager attitude. She screamed like a frightened bird.

"Please, don't hurt me!"

"Don't be afraid, sister, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!"

Seeing her terrified look, Anna, who was about to approach the girl, could not help but stop. She felt pity in her heart and comforted her with an extremely gentle voice.

"We are here to rescue you. Don't be afraid... trust us, okay?"

Just like coaxing a child.

Lin Wei watched this scene with great interest, wondering if everyone in the Shanniyat family was so maternal.

As if soothed by Anna's gentle expression and voice, the girl's tense body gradually relaxed, and then she seemed to remember something, looking at the silent Lin Wei with a vigilant look.

Lin Wei smiled, took two steps back to show that she had no hostility, and then handed the stage to Anna.

"...You guys, you said you were here to save me? Is that true?"

The girl looked at Anna doubtfully.

"I don't believe it! There are bad guys everywhere, dead bodies everywhere, monsters everywhere... There's no way... There's no way anyone will come to save me!"

She sat slightly sideways, ready to run at any moment—although she didn't know where to run.

"Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... I am the Valkyrie of destiny. I came here specifically to save you. Please believe me, okay?"

Anna felt very sympathetic towards the girl's sensitive nerves, and at the same time she hated the mastermind behind all this even more. Her expression became more relaxed, and her voice became gentler.

"My name is Anna Shaniat, you can call me Anna. What's your name?"

Anna believed that exchanging names would quickly bring them closer. Furthermore, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt like she had seen this girl before...

"Valkyrie? Really?"

Hearing the words "Destiny" and "Valkyrie", the girl's eyes lit up for a moment, then turned alert again.

"What evidence do you have?"

"You know about Valkyrie? Great!"

Anna was overjoyed, tugged at her clothes, and pointed at the big "non" sign on the corner of her clothes.

"This is the Valkyrie's uniform; and this, this is the symbol of destiny! If you don't believe me, I have another..."

"Um...Sister Valkyrie!"

The girl ran over crying and threw herself into Anna's arms.

"Great! Someone finally came to save me... I can finally leave here..."

Anna patted her back gently and said comfortingly with a look of relief,

"It's all over, we'll be safe soon..."

After crying for a while, the girl raised her messy face.

"Another sister told me... that the Valkyrie is the most powerful person in the world... in the world, and will descend from the sky like an angel... to destroy all demons..."

His voice was choked and his words were incoherent.

"It's in the past……"

Being praised like this, Anna felt proud of her predecessors and ashamed of herself at the same time.

"You said, other sisters...are there other people here?"

Anna was overwhelmed with emotions. This was such a dramatic turn of events!

"No, they are all dead..."

The girl's voice dropped.

"All dead..."

"..."

Anna paused, feeling lost.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to remember something, raised her head abruptly, and looked at Anna with hope.

"Sister Anna, can I become a Valkyrie too? I want to be as powerful as you, so that... no one can hurt me anymore..."

The girl had just seen the corpses of dead soldiers lying on the ground, and she was extremely yearning for the power of the Valkyrie.

"Yes, of course..."

Anna knew that those who could pass the "rigorous screening" of this base must have the qualifications to become Valkyries.

"But it will be difficult and dangerous..."

"I'm not afraid!"

The girl raised her head, feeling extremely happy about the affirmative answer.

Then, as if she remembered something, she pointed at Lin Wei, who had been watching with interest without saying a word, and asked,

"Sister Anna... Is this brother also a man of destiny?"

Since he's a man, he can't be a Valkyrie, right? The girl felt she needed to ask for clarification.

Before Anna could speak, Lin Wei spoke.

"Oh, I'm not from Heaven's will. I came here just for you."

Lin Wei walked over and took out a photo from his inner pocket and handed it to Anna, who then handed it to the girl.

"I'm here at your father's request to bring you home."

Lin Wei originally thought that his mission had failed long ago.

But when he was looking through the memories of the mechanical girl and saw this incredibly shocking reality, he felt it was incredibly absurd.

But before he could complain, he was silenced by another even more ridiculous thing.

Anna was stunned by Lin Wei's words. Before she could even look at the photo, it was snatched away by the girl in front of her.

"This is... Daddy! What have you done to Daddy?!"

The girl yelled at Lin Wei in horror.

Anna suddenly realized and couldn't help looking at Lin Wei, also feeling that things in the world are impermanent.

What a coincidence!

But considering that she, like Yuno, is a survivor of the third Honkai, and her value is higher than that of survivors of ordinary Honkai events, I am not very surprised.

"You scared people, explain yourself quickly."

Anna quickly asked Lin Wei for help. She didn't want to make the harmonious relationship that had been hard-earned become tense.

"Your father is safe. I'm a hacker, and we're not particularly close friends. After you disappeared, your father was driven mad with worry. Since I'm a bit of a novice, I was asked to help investigate."

Lin Wei explained casually,

"Then I met her on the road, who was also investigating this matter, and then we came here together. Although I'm not as good as a Valkyrie, I can still help a lot with technical tasks like breaking into the base."

The girl looked at Anna. Anna thought about it and felt that although what Lin Wei said was strange, there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded in agreement.

"No, that's not right! I know all of Dad's friends. I haven't even seen you!"

But the girl had no intention of letting him go and was full of vigilance.

Lin Wei looked at her and said softly,

"I was the one who persuaded your father to leave Changkong City."

Upon hearing this, the girl was stunned and looked at Lin Wei intently, as if wanting to confirm whether he was lying. Then she shed tears and bowed deeply to him.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

"Okay, okay, it's fine now that the misunderstanding is resolved~"

Anna quickly tried to smooth things over. Since Lin Wei had already mentioned Changkong City, she didn't hesitate to mention it.
