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

"If I really wanted to leave you to fate, you would have been imprisoned by now!"

"...What on earth do you want to do, you bastard?"

The jackal was a little confused about the intentions of the guy in front of him.

"Nothing, I just wanted to make friends, but unfortunately, you rejected me..."

Lin Wei gave a friendly smile, which looked extremely bright, even showing one or two teeth.

"But now, I have decided to be magnanimous and give you another chance, respected Dr. Jackal."

"……What do you want to do?"

The jackal, who had been tortured repeatedly, looked a bit like a frightened little animal. She was startled by Lin Wei's smile and subconsciously wanted to raise the gun that had dropped down without knowing when.

That was her last resort.

"clang!"

The stick was knocked away and fell to the ground spinning in the air.

Lin Wei finally walked in front of the Jackal, and saw two black pistols appear out of thin air in his hands. Then he put them together in front of him, and the two gun bodies were spliced ​​together tightly, and spit out a sword blade surrounded by wisps of black flames.

"Now, choose, dear Dr. Jackal."

Lin Wei raised his sword slightly, knocked the rather ridiculous pistol out of her hand, and then pointed the black sword tip at her.

"Are you asking me to hold you, a core member of the World Serpent who knows many secrets, here as a gift to the Destiny Valkyrie who is not far away?"

Lin Wei said with a smile on her face,

"Or are you willing to simply be friends with me?"

The Jackal looked at the blasphemous blade that seemed to be singeing his hair, swallowed his saliva, and after holding it in for a long time, he said in a somewhat timid tone,

"Lin Wei, don't go too far!"

The price of surrendering herself to fate was too high, and for the sake of the World Serpent's mission, she had no choice but to submit.

However, her proud personality prevented her from opening her mouth.

"Well, whatever. Forget it, I won't force you..."

Lin Wei suddenly withdrew the Skyfire Sword, letting it disappear into thin air.

"Then let's both take a step back. How about you buy me a cup of coffee as a thank you for saving your life?"

Lin Wei smiled generously and asked in a friendly, inquiring tone.

Chapter 122: "Thank You Gift"

“Swish! Whoosh…”

"Captain, be careful!"

A Valkyrie screamed and fired several shots, barely forcing back a double-edged assassin who teleported behind Jier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With this opportunity, Jier also reacted, turned around and stabbed the assassin's chest and abdomen with a knife. With his other hand, he took out his pistol, pressed it hard against the assassin's eye sockets, and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

The assassin collapsed to the ground, and the two sharp blades fell to the ground with a crisp "clang" sound.

"Thanks!"

Jier smiled at the team member who successfully rescued her, and fired several shots in her direction, knocking down several ordinary sickle warriors. Those were the ones who had escaped the net and were about to take advantage of the opportunity when the team member withdrew to cover himself and force their way to her side. Jier, who had withdrawn, easily dealt with them.

"Wow! Why did so many assassins suddenly appear?!"

The pressure on this B-rank Valkyrie suddenly eased, and she couldn't help but scream.

"Isn't this just an ordinary university? Why is there a place like this?!"

"Don't be distracted, keep fighting!"

Jier smashed several more assassins in succession, while still issuing orders.

"Clear all the enemies that appear as soon as possible! Remember to pay attention to the doors and windows of your respective areas. Don't let these damn things escape from here and threaten the ordinary people outside!"

"Yes!"

"Can you spare one person to recapture those guys who just escaped? They are also important clues here. They should be interrogated strictly after the battle is over!"

"Captain, they've already run far away. It might be too late..."

"whispering sound!"

Jier angrily cut a assassin in half. Looking at the assassins pouring out of the violently torn elevator entrance like a subway train during rush hour, he finally gave up the unrealistic idea.

"Then step up the fight! Clear out all the enemies here and go support Team Yuno as soon as possible!"

This sudden turn of events made Jier feel extremely bad. Her voice and tone, which used to be gentle, were now filled with anxiety and anger.

"Yes Yes!"

The team members naturally noticed the captain's abnormality and did not dare to be negligent. They all cheered up and continued to clear out the endless stream of assassins in this small building.

The reason why it was called a "sudden turn for the worse" is because the Snow Lotus team really found themselves in a tough battle all of a sudden.

Earlier...

A group of youthful girls entered the university campus together. The security guards at the gate naturally did not stop them, so they arrived at the designated location easily.

"Captain, the geolocator has scanned the area and found nothing unusual..."

A Valkyrie took off her headphones, straightened her back after being bent for a long time, and reported to Captain Jier who was standing not far away.

"The scanned images show that the underground portion of this laboratory is consistent with the publicly available architectural drawings. It's just a storage room for test samples, nothing special."

The Valkyrie looked towards the magnificent building not far away that was decorated in ancient Egyptian style and said strangely,

"Besides, whose secret base would be so high-profile? After all, it should be well hidden, just like the Coral Island!"

What she was talking about was, of course, the mysterious cave where Vice Captain Anna went deep into the tiger's den and overturned it single-handedly. She dismantled the dangerous bomb at the most critical moment and returned safely. Her triumphant look was so handsome!

Are we going to have such an opportunity soon?

The Valkyrie was both skeptical and eager to try.

"……Yeah?"

Jier suppressed his chaotic thoughts, nodded calmly, and arranged.

"Everyone, please be on guard outside. As a precaution. I will..."

At this point, Jier noticed that Yuno was looking at him intently, her intention to fight was extremely obvious. He paused, then continued, ignoring her.

"I'll go in alone to investigate. Keep communications open. Call for backup if necessary."

Having said this, he suddenly smiled gently at Yuno and said,

"I'll have to trouble you, Yuno. Please attack the main force!"

"Yuno" hesitated for a moment, bit her lips a few times, and finally nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, a Valkyrie suddenly reminded in a low voice, and pointed in a direction cautiously.

"Captain, there's a situation!"

"Ok?"

Jier looked in the direction of the teammate's finger and found that it was exactly his target - the direction of the laboratory. At this moment, the door was wide open, and dozens of men and women came out of the door in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, as relaxed as if they were getting off work.

Jie'er couldn't help but look at the time. It was still some time before getting off work.

has a problem……

Jier thought so and gave the team members a look that said "Stand by". He then walked over with a smile and asked curiously,

"Teacher, are you off work so early?"

"Ah... classmate, what do you want to talk to us about?"

A young and beautiful face of Jie Er, thinking she was a student here, said with a smile,

"Getting off work? I guess so. The boss has temporarily shut down all equipment for maintenance, asking everyone to finish their work as soon as possible and leave early. If you're looking for a certain teacher, you've come at a really bad time. I'm already one of the last to leave!"

"Yes...that's it..."

Jier was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and looked towards the door, and asked seriously,

"Is your leader still in there?"

Temporary maintenance? What a coincidence!

"Uh, she should still be inside. She always leaves last..."

The young man sensed Jier's sudden urgency and was confused for a moment, not understanding what was so exciting about it. After a pause, he said,

"Want me to tell you which office she's in?"

"Okay, thank you teacher!"

Jier watched the young man leave, his expression constantly changing, and he was always hesitating whether to capture him here.

After all, since there is a problem with this location, then there is a high possibility that there is something wrong with the people here!

But the young man just now gave Jier a good impression, and she couldn't bear to attack him so suddenly.

Since there's a so-called "leader" inside, then letting one or two ordinary "employees" go shouldn't be a big deal, right? Jie'er thought so.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Jier shook his head, turned back to his teammates, and told them the news he had just heard.

At this moment, "Yuno", who had been silent all the time, suddenly moved, and rushed towards the deserted laboratory like an arrow. Her slender hands pried open the two heavy doors, making a sharp "creaking" sound.

By the time the unprepared Jie'er reacted, "Yuno" had already rushed in.

"Damn it, catch up!"

Jier couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why was this another disobedient kid?

When she rushed into the laboratory with the Valkyrie team, "Yuno" just jumped down from the messy second floor and shook her head to indicate that there was no one there - the leader's office happened to be located there.

"Team Yuno, wait a minute, we..."

Before Jier could finish his words, Yuno had already set his sights on the elevator. He took a step forward and rushed to the elevator entrance. Several thick vines extended from all parts of his body, tearing the entire elevator into pieces. Then, the vines wrapped around his body and he fell down the elevator shaft like a cannonball.

He didn't even give Jier a chance to speak.

"I finally understand why she's a C-rank Valkyrie... Honestly, the reason she wasn't disqualified as a Valkyrie and was allowed to stay in Tianming is because they're afraid she'll do something bad out there, right?"

Jie Er glanced at his teammates and said helplessly,

"Okay, hurry up and follow. I hope she doesn't get into any trouble..."

Although she didn't understand why "Yuno", who always looked quiet and easy to talk to, suddenly went crazy, this was not the time to worry about it. She had to reunite first!

"Captain, there's a situation!"

But before Jier could say anything more, he heard a team member suddenly scream,

"A rapidly rising Houkai energy reaction has been detected! The source is..."

As he spoke, he slowly shifted his gaze from the detector and cast an incredulous look at the elevator shaft that had been torn into a hideous hole by Yuno.

how come?

But she didn't need to say anything more. There was only a slight tremor, which gradually grew stronger. Then, suddenly, several Honkai beasts, each armed with a variety of weapons, emerged from the cavern and silently and mercilessly attacked the unprepared Valkyrie.

"Get ready to fight!"

Jier reacted the fastest, and stepped forward quickly, summoning his weapon quickly, and kicked the assassin who rushed in front of him back fiercely, and also overwhelmed several other assassins following him; while turning back to scold his teammates who were still a little dazed,

"What are you still doing?"

"Huh? Yes...yes!"

The Valkyries also began to summon their equipment and prepare to fight, but they couldn't help but wail.

"Why are there so many suddenly?!"

The elevator entrance was like a hornet's nest that had been poked hard with a stick. Suddenly, a steady stream of assassins poured out. In just a moment, the Valkyries found themselves surrounded by assassins, attacked from both sides.
