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

"Swish! Snap! Snap!"

Along the way, Rita swung her sickle to harvest all the Honkai beasts and dead soldiers she encountered, but she could never find a prey she wanted.

So she continued running, her wine-red eyes constantly examining every monster she saw, and then she cleaned up all the Honkai beasts that made her dissatisfied; then she continued looking for the next target without stopping.

"It's either a crab or a squid. Isn't there a more pleasant creature?"

Rita complained, and then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a knight-class Honkai beast over ten meters tall, wandering aimlessly around a dilapidated ruin with an enormous lance. Her eyes lit up.

"It's you!"

As she spoke, Rita turned sharply without hesitation, adjusted her direction of travel, and rushed straight towards the knight-level Honkai beast.

Rita calmed her mind and used her stealth talent to the fullest, restraining all her breath, and then, with the cover of the ruins, she climbed up with incredible agility.

Rita climbed to the highest point and jumped, appearing above the head of the Knight-level Honkai Beast at lightning speed. The sharp sickle reflected a cold luster, like a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, slashing down mercilessly!

“Crack, crack!”

"Ow!"

This knight-level Honkai beast was caught off guard, and Rita, who had successfully attacked it, cleanly and neatly ripped off both of its arms. The absurdly large lance and the arm "holding" it fell to the ground, and it immediately let out a painful roar.

"My dear horse, would you please lend it to me?"

After successfully removing the weapons, Rita stood lightly on the back of the Knight-level Honkai Beast, "gently" "stroking" its head with her sickle, and asked with a friendly smile.

As if feeling humiliated, the Honkai Beast stood up, jumping and rushing continuously, trying to throw the rude human off it, throw her to the ground, and then trample her into a pitiful pool of flesh!

"Haha, a disobedient horse will be punished!"

Rita smiled gracefully, like a devil with his fangs hidden.

Countless pieces of ice silently spread out from her armor and fiercely inserted into the broad back of the Honkai Beast, firmly fixing Rita like a saddle, causing it to suffer more pain and struggle more violently.

"So Honkai beasts can feel pain? This is really surprising..."

Rita covered her mouth in surprise and laughed.

"Well, how about this?"

As she spoke, she fiercely cut a long gash on the back of the Honkai Beast's neck with the giant sickle in her hand, then, with a smile on her face, she thrust the sickle deep into it like a spear or sword, and asked curiously,

"Now, will you be obedient?"

Before she finished speaking, Rita gently twisted the sickle handle that she still held in her hand. The neck of the Knight-level Honkai Beast deviated uncontrollably to one side as the sickle pulled it, and the direction of its entire body also deviated in that direction.

"Yes, good horse, well done, that's it."

Rita's smile was still elegant, but the amplitude of the rotation of the sickle in her hand was a little larger.

"Now, listen to my orders and take me to a place..."

………………

It may sound troublesome, but with Rita's ability, it only delayed her for a few minutes.

At this time, the area that was originally regarded as the "rear" by the Valkyries was still in chaos and the crowd was excited. If it were not for the Valkyries' hard work to stop them, they would probably have scattered like birds and beasts by now.

"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way! Why won't you let us leave?"

Someone roared excitedly;

"Dead, all dead! Hahahaha… I'm going to die too! I'm finally going to die too! Hahahaha!"

Some people were crying and laughing wildly;

"Please, kind girls, let us get out of this damn hell!"

Some people knelt down and cried and begged.

"Don't get excited! Please calm down! Support will be here soon, and a new safe camp will be opened soon. More people will be there to escort you to safety!"

The Valkyries were extremely embarrassed, their mouths dry, and they tried their best to persuade them.

"It's too dangerous outside now. If you leave now, you'll be dead! Besides, we only have a few Valkyries left who are still in good fighting condition. We have no way of escorting you away safely!"

"You've already said it yourself, there aren't many people left, why won't you let us leave?"

The chaotic crowd became more chaotic and more excited.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! We have to leave this damn place now!"

This is how human beings are. No matter how calm and rational they are in normal times, once panic spreads, it will be uncontrollable like the spread of a plague - unless they are awakened by cruel reality.

"Oh no, a Honkai beast is rushing towards us!"

A Valkyrie who was on guard outside shouted a warning.

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"

The survivors, who were already excited, became even more confused after hearing the news.

"It's me, Rita Rossweisse."

Rita's signature elegant voice came from the Valkyries' communicators.

"Everyone, continue to hold your posts. Don't panic, and don't make any obstructions to avoid accidental injuries!"

"This... is Lady Rita?"

"Why is she with Honkai Beast?"

The Valkyries looked at each other in confusion. This question was a bit beyond the scope.

The knight-level Honkai beast suddenly appeared, approaching rapidly from a distance with rumbling footsteps; its terrifyingly huge size and violent charging method were reflected in the eyes of all the survivors, like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing all their excitement, and they turned around and fled in horror.

"Ahhhh! Help! Run away!"

Then, they saw the figure of the Honkai Beast again in the opposite direction, and fled in other directions in panic.

The Valkyries resisted the urge to destroy it and continued to try their best to maintain order among the crowd, at least to prevent a stampede...

In this way, Rita "steered" the Knight-level Honkai Beast around the area where the gymnasium was located in circles, like driving a flock of sheep, gathering everyone into a small circle, and huddling together tremblingly.

Seeing that the goal of stopping the chaos had been achieved, Rita also realized that continuing like this would only backfire, so she decided to quit while she was ahead.

"Good horse, thank you for your hard work."

Rita smiled and said,

"Now you can rest."

As she finished speaking, she reached out and pushed the sickle handle hard, then pulled it hard. The huge "horse head" was cut off in an instant and fell to the ground with purple-red blood gushing out.

Rita naturally wouldn't let herself be stained by the ugly blood. She jumped out the moment the "horse head" was cut off, and landed lightly on the ground amid the smoke and loud noise raised by the huge body of the Honkai Beast.

She took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth with it, feeling somewhat disgusted by the smoke. She walked a few steps towards the crowd, then put the handkerchief away again. She stood as elegantly as a noble, smiling broadly as she said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, the sudden attacking enemy has been eliminated. The danger has been resolved. You can all rest assured."

"This……"

Some people looked at each other in bewilderment. Are we stupid? You've been circling us for so long, but we can't see that you're riding on the back of that monster?

But they were somewhat afraid to speak out. After all, this short-haired girl had just ridden a terrifying monster like a horse, then casually killed it, leaving its body lying before them. It couldn't be faked.

Even though the girl is smiling now, they are like trembling frightened birds and dare not mess with such a cruel and capricious guy.

"It seems like everyone is quite frightened."

Rita said apologetically,

"I'm truly sorry, and I apologize to everyone. However, the crisis has been temporarily resolved. If you still want to leave, you can do so on your own."

As she spoke, Rita slightly turned sideways and raised her hand to make a "please" gesture.

"……Really?"

Someone's heart is moved.

"Of course it's true."

"At this point, if you still want to leave here, we will not stop you."

Rita still smiled, but changed the subject slightly.

"However, there are countless monsters like the one just now out there. Without the protection of the Valkyrie, it is difficult to guarantee your safety. Therefore, please make your own decision on how to deal with it."

Chapter 199: Persistence and Hope (6,000 words)

Unlike the average Valkyrie who has a simpler personality, Rita seems to be an outlier in this group.

For example, her extremely unique style of doing things - as long as she can achieve the ultimate goal, she actually doesn't care what specific means she uses.

In fact, if necessary, she wouldn't mind killing a few guys who were at the front with her own hands, using the blood of a few people to intimidate more people - when it comes to killing, she really has no psychological burden at all.

The reason why she didn't do this was not because Rita was really soft-hearted, but because she judged that this method was not suitable for this occasion and was likely to backfire.

Since the beginning of the Honkai, the hearts of all those who managed to survive have been at a dangerous critical point. One person's dam has also broken down the dams of others. Panic has spread rapidly like a virus, and humanity has become a group of irrational, follow-the-herd sheep...

In the final analysis, they were under too much pressure and fear, which broke through the dam called reason like a flood. If they were to suppress it with tough measures at this juncture, the "fear" that had already broken through the dam might turn into "hatred" at any time - hatred against Rita and all the other Valkyries.

In this way, the chaotic flock of sheep will turn into violent beasts, and the situation will become even more out of control; Rita may only be able to choose between killing people or abandoning this place and evacuating in a panic.

But Rita's purpose was not to further intensify the conflict, nor did she want to make any meaningless sacrifices; she just wanted to calm these poor people who had lost their minds as quickly as possible and restore their sanity and order.

Yes, poor guy.

Just as Rita didn't care what means she used, whether they were gentle, radical, or cruel; she also didn't think that these guys running around like headless flies were pathetic or hateful. Instead, she thought they were still worthy of protection.

It may sound contradictory, but Rita is such a person whose thoughts and intentions are hard to understand.

It is hard to know whether she is planning to cut your throat with a sickle in the next second when she is smiling and talking to you politely and friendly.

It's hard to know when she bares her fangs at you like a demon, but she will secretly leave some room for you in some unpredictable corner, allowing you to escape safely, or even open up a new world...

Just like at this moment, when Rita noticed that the survivors were overwhelmed by fear, she decisively decided to fight poison with poison - directly materialize the fear in their hearts, and use greater and more intuitive fear to further destroy their psychological defenses; in this way, she forced them to calm down and be obedient.

It turns out that the effect is very good.

When she "steed" a wild knight-level Honkai beast like a knight, circling around them madly and driving the "flock" back to the "sheepfold" smoothly, she was like a millstone, crushing and venting all their anger.

At this point, the plan was already eighty percent complete. Rita conveniently dealt with the Honkai Beast, which she had tortured for a long time and was now no longer of any use.

Then he appeared in front of everyone with an elegant posture, and communicated with everyone in a friendly manner with a smile on his face.

"At this point, if you still want to leave here, we will not stop you."

Rita smiled and warned everyone with a very elegant and appropriate voice and words.

"However, there are countless monsters like the one just now out there. If we rashly leave the Valkyrie's protection, it is difficult to guarantee your safety. Therefore, please make your own decision."

As she spoke, she lightly stepped aside a few steps, clearing their view and allowing the survivors to more directly see the body of the Honkai beast, which lay so close to them. Even after it had fallen, it still stood as tall as a two-story building. This shocking scene silenced the crowd for a moment.

This is Rita's strategy of "force first, courtesy later" - instead of persuading people with earnest words, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and use absolute power to give everyone the greatest deterrent in the shortest time; then she can smoothly control the situation and calmly let them act according to her wishes.

The survivors didn't even dare to breathe loudly for a moment, and could only sob quietly - they didn't know whether they were afraid of waking up the monster, or afraid of angering the devil in front of them who looked gentle, reserved, and even humble.

Yes. In their eyes, this tall girl with short dark blond hair covering one eye was no different from a demon.

After all, whether in novels or film and television works, the two terrible creatures, the devil and vampire, often appear before the world in an elegant and noble manner.

"Lady Rita..."

A Valkyrie belonging to the Snow Lotus Team walked over bravely and looked at Rita with an embarrassed look on her face. Are you going a little too far?

"You've come at the right time. I'll leave the rest to you."

Rita just smiled and didn't care.

After all, since his mission as the "villain" has been completed, it is reasonable to let other Valkyries play the role of the "good guy".

Rita turned around and left without a care in the world. After all, she was indispensable on the front line of the battlefield.

The survivors breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the devil leave, but then they fell into a daze, not knowing where to go, and couldn't help crying.

The other Valkyries who were responsible for maintaining order also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly gathered around Rita as instructed.

"Find them something to do. If they're busy, they won't have any random thoughts."

Rita gave these Valkyries instructions on the communicator.

"Organize some people to clean up the debris that collapsed in the recent earthquake and try to rescue those who are buried but still alive;"

"Organize other people to count the damage to food, water, medicine, and other daily supplies. I don't know how much is left after the riots and chaos just now..."
