Playful! Collapse!

Now it is really a bit difficult for her to be expected to lead the way in Jiuyou so that everyone can find the place where Chiyou is sealed.

Oh no, even the Red Kite Immortal from Shenzhou can’t find the target’s location.

"There's no other way. Please contact Li Pu and see if they have any results."

"Ok."

After saying this, the swordsman immediately contacted the Taixu swordsmen who were exploring the surrounding area in another area.

But soon, a hint of sadness appeared on the swordsman's face.

"Ms. Apokalis, I'm so sorry."

"Not only did Senior Brother Li Pu not find any trace of the target, but...some accidents also occurred."

Seeing an embarrassed look in the swordsman's eyes, Theresa suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

"Please tell me what happened."

"The thing is, the two Valkyries you sent to Senior Brother Li Pu suddenly disappeared just now."

"What did you say?!"

After hearing the news, Theresa asked anxiously.

"Did your team encounter an enemy attack?! Was it a death squad? Or a Honkai beast?"

"No, actually that's the weirdest part."

Having said that, the swordsman, who wanted to stop the topic here, suddenly received a communication from Li Pu.

"Senior Brother Li Pu said he has something he wants to talk to you directly, Ms. Apokalis."

After saying this, the swordsman handed the communicator directly to Theresa.

"Ms. Apokalis, if possible, please don't let the others in your team know what I'm thinking now."

"......I see."

After bouncing a few times and reaching a certain distance from the team, Theresa spoke to the allies on the other side of the communicator.

"Now you can speak boldly, what is going on?"

"The thing is, we didn't encounter any enemy attacks, and your two subordinates took advantage of the chaos and left the team when one of our men suddenly fell unconscious due to excessive Honkai energy."

"...I understand. I'm sorry to cause you trouble here."

"No, but please be careful. Please keep in touch regularly."

Although Li Pu didn't finish his words, he had hinted at this point, and even Theresa could understand what he meant.

What exactly is going on? These two Valkyries made a mistake in their previous mission in Changkong City...

Ok? ? ?

Theresa thought of something, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

Although she is the branch chief of the Far East Branch, Theresa, who has a headache about management, often leaves management and command matters to her deputy, Muliangta Jiko.

Even the participants in this mission were carefully selected by Ji Zi, the front-line commander.

As for the two missing Valkyries, Jizi even told Theresa that she was responsible for the liaison mission with the Shenzhou allies.

After connecting to Hyperion's secret communication channel, Theresa immediately asked Jizi.

"Jizi, the two Valkyries you arranged to be in charge of communication——"

"They're moving, aren't they?"

Ah, this guy has guessed it... She must have done it on purpose!

"You're right, I did it on purpose."

At this time, after receiving Theresa's information, Jizi directed the Valkyries who were still guarding their homes in the Far East Branch to go to the locations where certain Valkyries were located to capture them, while explaining in detail to Theresa.

"Remember the last time you were in Changkong City, you met a civilian?"

"That civilian... judging from what happened later, she was attacked by the Herrscher and yet she survived. She's incredibly lucky."

"Forget it. If an ordinary person encounters the Herrscher, even if the Herrscher shows mercy, she will be instantly turned into ashes or killed by the aftermath of the Honkai energy released by the Herrscher."

"In the end, not only was the civilian fined, but he actually disappeared. Although the Valkyries said he escaped on his own, I didn't believe their lies."

"But afterwards, I carefully investigated the files and resumes of those Valkyries and found nothing wrong. So, I decided to test them a little this time."

Having said that, Jizi looked at the task sheet sent by her subordinates and continued to speak to Theresa.

"The two guys sent to Shenzhou were among the Valkyries who allowed the civilians to escape earlier."

"Not only were the other Valkyries on their team not sent to Jiuyou this time, I even had people monitoring them long ago."

"They have been arrested now. All that's left is for the intelligence department to reveal who they are loyal to, and the problem will be over."

After listening to Jizi's explanation, Theresa nodded with satisfaction.

"As expected of you, the arrangements are really thoughtful."

Theresa was very satisfied with Jizi's arrangement, but she was upset that Jizi didn't report the matter to her...

——Of course there is not the slightest dissatisfaction.

She also knew that her acting skills were terrible. If she hadn't reconciled her testimony with Fu Hua in advance, and if her grandfather Otto hadn't had a filter for her, she didn't think she could have deceived such a shrewd grandfather.

If these people were spies, then Theresa, who knew the news in advance, would definitely look at them a few more times.

Ji Zi didn't tell her, but she acted very naturally because she didn't know about it. In this situation, Ji Zi's plan was successful.

"Alright, I'll take care of other things outside first. You stay inside... be careful, Branch Chief."

"Got it. I'll leave the outside matters to you, Major."

After finishing the communication with each other, Theresa immediately returned to the team and sped up her pace.

But on the other side, Ji Zi, who was just about to ask her colleagues in the intelligence department when they would be free, suddenly saw a piece of news that shocked her.

“This…what is this?!”

On Jizi's intelligence screen, there was a message just sent by the Valkyrie who stayed behind in the Far East Branch.

[Major Wuliangta, I have some bad news for you.]

[The two suspects we just arrested... just committed suicide by taking poison.]

...It's difficult. This opponent is really decisive.

These Valkyries have been infiltrating the Far East Branch for so many years. Although they have only reached B-level, they can be considered veterans worthy of our trust.

As a result, in order to get the "civilian" to leave, they directly chose this method that might expose themselves.

Moreover, after exposing himself, he chose to commit suicide to prevent the leakage of information.

This method doesn't seem like that of the Anti-Entropy people...

It's really troublesome. There are so many bad things in this world now. Destiny and Anti-Entropy are about to break up, and there are still people hiding in the dark and preparing to cause trouble.

This matter is no longer something I can handle, so I should report it to Bishop Otto.

No matter what his purpose is, at least he will not allow the parasites from other organizations to continue messing around within our Tianming.

I'd better focus on getting things done with Theresa before worrying about anything else.

.................................................. ......................

Somewhere in the Netherworld

Somewhere in Jiuyou, two Valkyries from the Far East branch, after confirming that there was no one around, immediately activated a communication channel that did not belong to Tianming and directly contacted their immediate superior.

After seeing the figure of the black-robed cyborg, the two men knelt on one knee in front of each other with great respect.

"Lord Gray Snake."

"You two...are very punctual."

Looking at the coordinates sent by the two people, Gray Snake directly signaled the Jackals to activate the quantum teleportation system, and transmitted the potions made by the two Jackals to the two people.

"Keep these two potions. Inject them into your body when necessary."

"Yes, we understand."

Although they knew that this potion would take their lives, the two chose to take it without hesitation.

"Ever since you revealed your flaws while trying to save Raven, it was only a matter of time before Destiny tracked you down."

Listening to what the gray snake said, one of them said calmly.

"We naturally know this, so we are very honored to be able to dedicate our last bit of strength to snakes at the end of our lives."

"Very good, the organization will remember your contribution."

After nodding slightly, the gray snake suddenly spoke to the two of them.

"However, although your mission this time is to assist the two adopted daughters of Kokolia in removing the seal from Chiyou, in the final analysis, all you can do is stir up unrest and create an opportunity for them."

"Your disappearance is a foregone conclusion, so before that, I must instruct you on one thing."

Having said that, Gray Snake's tone suddenly became extremely cold.

"Yuan Yan, if you encounter this man and he hasn't noticed you yet, observe his actions carefully."

"I originally wanted to go to Jiuyou in person, but for some reason, I temporarily changed my mind."

"That man is a talent in my opinion. If you have finished observing him or if he has discovered you, you can try to win him over directly... No, you can let me talk to him directly then."

"My subordinate understands."

Just as the Valkyrie said this, she suddenly felt an inexplicable chill coming from behind her.

Then, the Valkyrie who was talking to the gray snake suddenly discovered that a large number of vines had appeared under her feet.

Although her companions avoided the entanglement of the vines because they dodged in time, she herself was unable to avoid the restraint of these vines.

The Valkyrie, who was entangled by the vines, even felt her body paralyzed and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Well done, Yuno."

After watching Yuno control one of the enemies from a distance, Yuan Yan looked at the other Valkyrie and the gray snake in the image, and gave them a friendly smile.

"What a coincidence, everyone from the World Serpent."

"Although I knew you would definitely come to Jiuyou to stir up trouble, I never thought that we would be so destined to be together."

Looking at Yuan Yan who appeared here at some point in time, Gray Snake wanted to scold his two subordinates for not turning on the search equipment, which resulted in him not being able to detect the approaching creature in advance.

But when he thought that the other party was the Ruler of Thunder, who was naturally immune to most electronic devices, Gray Snake swallowed his words.

"Mr. Yuan Yan, if possible, please ask the young lady next to you to put away the vines."

The gray snake in the video bowed respectfully to Yuan Yan and spoke to him very politely.

"Although I do intend to let them test you, please believe me, this well-intentioned test does not mean that I have any hostility towards you."

"After all, in my opinion, knowing that your superior was a villain, you single-handedly chose to risk your own life to save Changkong City. In our eyes, you are undoubtedly a hero who saved the world."

At this point, Gray Snake's tone even became a little more excited.

"We, the World Serpents, are an anti-Honkai organization. In our view, you and I have never been enemies, but natural allies."

"Wow, that's very well said."

Listening to Gray Snake's boasting, Yuan Yan clapped his hands gently.

"Alas, you are much more likable than my former boss, Mr. Gray Snake."

"I think we're quite compatible. How about we arrange a time to meet and discuss our plans and destiny together?"

Well said, Yuan Yan.

If your eyes had not become so cold and I had not seen that video through the spy I planted in Cocolia, I might have considered meeting you.

"Mr. Yuan Yan, please don't do this."

Looking at Yuan Yan and the two girls behind him, Gray Snake spread his hands helplessly.

"Although I do respect you sincerely, it doesn't mean I will completely let down my guard against you."

"Your Excellency was once a subordinate of Cocolia, and I have heard how radical your style is as a radical."

"If you wish to discuss the future with us, please come to the place we designate."
