"..."
My Lord, you are talking nonsense again.
Having finished the report, Youlan Dell, who didn't want to waste time with Otto here anymore, said goodbye and turned away.
"I'm going to go see what Yuno has been doing lately."
Otto watched Youlan Dale leave with a smile and did not stop him.
"Your Excellency, contacting Anti-Entropy may not be possible for the time being."
Only then did Amber finally have time to report to Otto.
"Oh?"
Otto raised his eyebrows, extremely surprised by the news. What do those guys want to do?
"Some time ago, the top brass of Anti-Entropy disappeared en masse. This was a serious matter, and the Bishop was in Manila at the time and unable to handle it promptly. Therefore, I have the audacity to entrust Rita with an investigation. If there is anything wrong, please punish me, Bishop."
Amber said with trepidation.
"No, Amber, you're doing great!"
Otto looked serious, digesting the news for a moment, then asked seriously,
"How's it going with Rita?"
"Some time ago, Anti-Entropy was in turmoil. Many high-ranking officials disappeared without a trace. Many clues are contradictory, so Lady Rita's progress is not going smoothly."
Hearing that Otto did not punish her, Amber took a long breath and returned to her role as an excellent assistant.
"However, the last time we contacted her, she said she had found some concerning leads in Singapore and was investigating them. There are currently no results."
"Really?"
Otto leaned lightly on his back and carefully browsed the anti-entropy intelligence in the past period of time. It was indeed complicated and incomprehensible. There was even a sense of absurdity that "conservatives and radicals joined forces to eliminate other local branches". Otto frowned for a while. What a mess!
What the hell are you guys doing with Anti-Entropy?
I couldn't find any clues at the moment, so I had to put it aside for the time being; since Rita had already assumed the responsibility of investigating this matter, I might as well wait until she made new progress, and then it would not be too late to make a decision.
………………
On the other side, Manila, Philippines.
Anna, who is lively and thoughtful, wakes up from a coma. Soon she can no longer stand the quiet and cramped single room, so she discusses with her captain whether she can be moved to a common room, where at least there will be someone around her and it will be more lively.
Jier considered that the reason why Anna was not discharged from the hospital for the time being was that she did not want the headquarters to become suspicious and investigate Anna's rapid recovery, which would bring trouble that she did not want to see.
Under this premise, it didn't really matter which ward she was allowed to "rest" in; therefore, Jier readily agreed to Anna's request and helped her complete the procedures for changing the ward.
"Thank you Captain!"
Anna chuckled and happily moved to the common ward with several beds.
Soon, she realized that she was overthinking it - even if there were people here, it was not lively.
Those lying on the hospital beds included the elderly, middle-aged people, men, women, and young children; together with their family members who were accompanying them, they all looked worried and sad.
"..."
Infected by this atmosphere, Anna's mood couldn't help but become depressed.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have changed the ward..."
Anna complained a little in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to ask the captain for this again. She could only give a polite smile to her "roommates" and then lie quietly on her new bed.
Fortunately, Captain Jier arranged a bed for her next to the window. She could see the distant coast by just tilting her head slightly. She could see the vast stretches of sandy beaches, reefs, coconut trees, the sparkling sea, and countless tourists playing there.
Just by quietly looking at the scenery, Anna's depressed mood became more open and calm.
Anna couldn't help but feel moved by the beautiful scenery that belonged to the earth, the ocean, the tropics, and the coastal city. She felt that these seemingly ordinary things were what she should protect as a Valkyrie.
"This beautiful sister..."
Just as Anna was immersed in this scene, a weak child's voice suddenly came from beside her, like a crisp stone thrown into her vague and inexplicable emotion, waking her up just at the right time.
Anna turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice. There was a delicate little girl, about five or six years old, lying on the bed next to her. Although her face was pale due to illness, her big black eyes were looking at her with curiosity.
Seeing her so cute, Anna couldn't help but smile slightly. In order not to disturb the rest of the other patients, she lowered her voice slightly and asked,
"Little sister, what's the matter with me?"
"Um...I want to ask my sister for a favor..."
The little girl smiled shyly, then raised her head and carefully glanced towards the door. After making sure no one would come in, she made a bitter face and took out a bunch of pills from under the quilt. She said to Anna in a low voice, a little embarrassedly,
"This medicine is incredibly bitter... Could you please help me throw it all out the window with a 'whoosh!' sound?"
"..."
This naughty kid!
Anna was speechless for a moment, then laughed out loud, and asked,
"Why didn't you throw it away yourself when I wasn't here just now?"
The little girl's face was wrinkled with pain.
"How dare you do that with so many adults watching? They'll tell Mom and Dad..."
"...Then you're not afraid that I'll tell on you?"
"Hehe...Since my sister is so beautiful, she must be a good person at heart and will definitely not tell on anyone!"
The little girl blinked her big black eyes and smiled brightly.
"...Where did you learn all this?"
Anna was speechless. Where did this clever kid come from?
"Hey, my brother taught me that."
Seeing that this trick didn't work, the little girl couldn't help but smile awkwardly, stuck out her tongue, and confessed everything.
"My brother said that I should be sweeter so that others will like me..."
"..."
Anna was speechless. This sounded right.
Anna thought about herself again. When she was at her age, she seemed to be quite naughty too?
cough cough...
"I think what your brother said makes sense!"
Anna, remembering her embarrassing childhood experiences, decided to quickly turn the page.
"Sister, do you agree to help?"
The little girl couldn't help but feel happy when she heard Anna say that.
Great, no more medicine!
"No."
Anna smiled, politely, and refused.
"Only by taking medicine on time can you get better faster~"
"Oh……"
The little girl lay back down in frustration, still mumbling something. Anna listened carefully and realized she was complaining that what her brother taught her was not reliable at all...
"Where are your parents?"
Anna thought the little girl was quite cute and didn't mind chatting with her, so she smiled and said,
"And your brother. Why did he leave you, a little girl, in the ward? Aren't you scared?"
Anyway, lying in the hospital is quite boring, so I might as well find some companionship to pass the time.
"Mom and Dad went to the cafeteria to eat. They will be back soon. When they come back..."
The little girl looked like she was about to cry as she spoke.
"Ugh, I don't want to take medicine!"
"Well, I think your parents did the right thing."
Anna smiled lightly. The little girl was still pretending to be pitiful in front of her. I had used this trick so many times in the past!
Of course, it doesn’t work either. Tianming’s instructor is very strict!
Anna couldn't help but recall her painful past.
After a while of chatting, a middle-aged man and woman walked in hand in hand, carrying exquisite lunch boxes. They walked to the little girl's bedside, first greeted Anna, who was chatting with her daughter, with a smile, then sat down gently on the edge of the bed, reached out and helped the little girl up.
"Wenwen, it's time to eat. After dinner, Mom will make sure you take your medicine and then have a good sleep. The doctor said that if you eat and take your medicine on time and get a good rest, you'll be able to go out in a few days."
"Oh……"
The little girl named Wenwen looked at Anna helplessly, and had to accept her fate. She held the spoon her mother handed her in her mouth with a look of grief and anger.
"Go slowly, be careful of the heat."
The father beside her touched her head and said with a smile,
"Your brother is working not far from the hospital right now, saving up for college. I think that's enough. When you get better, let him take you out for some fun, okay?"
"Ok!"
The little girl immediately perked up and nodded happily.
Anna on the side quietly watched the family of three, providing a warm corner in the hospital with an overall gloomy atmosphere, at least making the atmosphere in the ward less heavy.
"so good……"
Anna smiled slightly, but felt that it might be impolite to just look at the family like that, so she turned her gaze back to the window, looking at the beach, the reefs, the coconut trees, and the sparkling coast in the distance.
For a moment, the world outside the window that she saw with her eyes and the world inside the window that she heard with her ears merged into a complete picture in Anna's heart, making her love it and linger on.
Gradually, the word "Valkyrie" began to change in her mind.
The "glory" that she had been striving for gradually faded away and became less important; while "responsibility" became clearer and more important.
These families and cities are so lively, beautiful and full of vitality.
Anna suddenly felt that protecting the happy and cheerful family around her, and protecting the millions of families in this city, and protecting them from disasters and doomsday, was what she should do as a Valkyrie!
As for the so-called "glory"? Perhaps it's the flower that blooms after fulfilling one's responsibilities to the utmost...
For a moment, Anna felt extremely excited and motivated. She just wanted to return to the base immediately and tell the captain about her current thoughts; and share her thoughts and feelings at the moment with Yuno, Rita, Youlan Dell, Lin Wei, and all her friends.
Just do it! Anna immediately took out her communicator and started editing the text.
As she wrote, Anna couldn't help but feel troubled and depressed.
"No, I'm still unconscious. How can I send messages to people?"
Anna scratched her head in pain. It was so painful to have so much in her heart but no place to share it!
After thinking about it, it seems that Captain Jie'er and Lin Wei are the only channels for him to confide in right now?
"Oh, I hope that Lin Wei doesn't make fun of me secretly..."
Anna bit her lip and thought for a while, then decided to edit the letter carefully. Then she selected Jie'er and Lin Wei respectively, and after a slight hesitation, she clicked send.
Chapter 160: Hello, is this the police?
Destiny headquarters, floating island.
"Oh!"
"Boom!"
"Snapped!"
Yulan Dale returned to the Undying Blade's base with ease. The vibration under his feet was an extremely clear map marker. For some time now, the Undying Blade's base has almost become a joke within the Mandate of Heaven.
"There was no sound from the Immortal Blade last night, and I couldn't sleep well the whole night!"
For example, the Undying Blade was recently sued for this very reason. As far as Orandale knows, no one has dared to tell the person involved about this yet...
What are these things?
