Chapter 189
What could it be?
The next morning, a villager who had left home to go to the city returned with his injuries, shouting as he ran toward the most important place in Yae Village.
"It's started..." Li Pu looked at the person.
Sure enough, it's started now.
The Honkai 3rd is coming!
The true Honkai Beast have appeared, beginning to slaughter the people and destroy the civilization. It all seemed to happen too suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
Kallen stormed over in a rage.
"Is this what you meant by 'something big' going to happen?" Kallen said angrily, "Something like this?!"
"What else do you think?" Li Pu retorted. "What else do you think might happen?"
"You knew this would happen, didn't you?" Kallen said angrily. "Then what you did yesterday... your actions yesterday weren't to let me leave, were you planning to cause this?"
Kallen suddenly understood some things about what had happened yesterday.
Li Pu suddenly interrupted the conversation and then said so much to her.
That's the plan!
"Just want to leave?" Kallen said angrily. "So you're planning to sacrifice those people?"
"You think I caused this?" Li Pu sneered. "No, you're wrong! I didn't cause this. This was bound to happen sooner or later."
"Yae Village will be massacred once, Tenshu-kaku, the Daimyo, and the main castle will also be massacred once."
"I merely caused the Honkai Beast to massacre the city ahead of schedule."
"Perhaps this time we've saved the people of Yae Village."
"You!!!" Kallen was speechless. She said, full of confusion and anger, "I don't understand! How could you know what was going to happen?"
Why did you do this? Why didn't you stop it from happening?!
"Where has your Kaslana faith gone?!"
"Then what do you want me to do?" Li Pu retorted. "If I really have to say something, to me it's about putting the people of Yae Village and the main city on a scale!"
"Saving one side means sacrificing the other. You want me to choose who to sacrifice?"
"And even if I make the choice, I might not be able to save anyone."
"You'd better not discuss these trivial matters with me here now."
"You'd better keep up with Yae Sakura's pace."
"If you arrive too late, there will be no one to save you."
Kallen was furious; she had so much to say. But in the end, she said nothing and turned to leave. It was her duty as Valkyrie to fight the Honkai and save the people.
Since the Honkai has occurred in the main city, she has to go!
Li Pu watched Kallen's departing figure.
They didn't say anything.
The root of all this actually lies with Yae Sakura, but Kallen isn't aware of that yet. If she doesn't realize this, then no one can save her.
Two important events in the game: the massacre of the village and the massacre of the main city.
Both of these important events occurred because of Yae Sakura's possessiveness. In the former case, Yae Sakura wanted to use the incident to force Kallen to stay in Yae Village.
The latter is because Yae Sakura didn't want Kallen to be driven away by the city lord, so she had the Honkai Beast slaughter the entire main city.
This event was also a significant turning point for Otto.
At this moment, the naive Kallen had no idea that Yae Sakura was in trouble.
She still trusted the shrine Miko who protected Yae Village very much.
But Otto didn't. Both events happened too coincidentally. The former happened right after Otto arrived in Yae Village and proposed to take Kallen away. The coincidence was so great that Otto couldn't help but suspect Yae Sakura. The latter happened right after the Daimyo clearly stated that he wanted to drive Kallen away. This made Otto start to confirm that the problem must lie with Yae Sakura.
Knowing this plot Li Pu's special remarks yesterday were meant to trigger Yae Sakura's premature performance of the Honkai Beast massacre.
There aren't any particularly powerful figures in the main city.
The Honkai Beast's attack on the main city was like a dimensional reduction attack; the people there had no choice but to die.
Watching Yae Sakura, Kallen, Otto, and the others hurriedly leave.
Li Pu knew this matter might not end so easily.
Since I have already altered the familiar historical plot, something else might happen. This event will definitely exceed my expectations, completely disrupting the rhythm of the entire plot and pushing it to an unknown place. Only then will the option to truly leave this place truly appear.
But if something like that really happens, then it might be just like what I just said.
Neither Yae Village nor the main city can save either side.
Because this is the place that Yae Sakura truly hates, and the place she wants to destroy!
Yae Village!
Chapter 218 Kallen Reappears
Sometimes, saying "You guessed right" isn't exactly something to feel happy about.
On the contrary, these words might give you a headache!
Li Pu was absolutely right.
Yae Sakura was determined not to let Yae Village go, even though Li Pu's words made her realize that there was an uncontrollable force above her that she could not openly resist.
But Yae Sakura had no intention of letting the villagers of Yae Village off the hook.
For that Daimyo in the main city, this Yae Village is a true blood feud!
This grudge will be avenged!
Without a doubt.
Previously, her retaliations were limited, as she was the guardian of Yae Village. Whenever Honkai Beast or Demon Beast attacked Yae Village, she had to do her duty to repel it.
What else can we do?
Even if Yae Sakura didn't want to or was unwilling about this, there was nothing she could do.
Now she has an even better reason!
The main city has been attacked, and as the local Miko, she must go to its rescue. She simply can't attend to things here in Yae Village; what if something like this happens again?
Then all we can do is shrug and say we can't help you.
What else?
What else can we do?
You can't split a person in two, can you?
Moreover, there are Daimyo in the main city. Aren't Daimyo even more important?
The Demon Beast have arrived, but they are not the genuine Honkai Beast from the main city; they are ordinary wild beasts that have been infected. But even if they are just ordinary infected wild beasts...
They were already difficult enough to deal with for the villagers.
Even if you manage to find a farm tool that can be used as a weapon, it's no different from tickling a wild animal.
On the contrary, even a slight brush or touch from these wild beasts could result in death or serious injury.
The villagers quickly panicked and scattered to escape.
These beasts swept through the village like a tidal wave, unstoppable. Unstoppable... but eventually, the wave stopped. It stopped at the Yae Shrine!
A man wielding two guns.
Of course, this person is not Kallen.
It was Li Pu.
He was holding Kallen's weapon, a pair of purple pistols. Yes, it's Kallen's signature weapon Colorless Serenade! Yes, those purple pistols.
Otto brought the Colorless Serenade with him this time.
However, Kallen did not bring any with her this time.
Li Pu happened to see it as well.
Now, this emergency situation naturally fell into Li Pu's hands and was put to use.
This is much better than the previous situation where someone was using a harpoon as a weapon!
This Colorless Serenade is, after all, a high-level weapon. It's like taking down these beasts that are just infected by Honkai with a single shot!
Although Li Pu cannot directly equip the character Kallen at the moment.
But using some of the skills doesn't seem to be a problem now.
For example, a self-regulating turret that falls from the sky.
That thing beat these Honkai -infected beasts to a pulp.
Li Pu doesn't need to kill all the beasts immediately; he just needs to hold out until Kallen, Otto, and Yae Sakura return. And Li Pu estimates that will be soon.
Because these beasts were created by Yae Sakura, they are important pawns to her.
Of course, she wouldn't let Li Pu kill all these wild beasts.
Knowing that things are going badly here, they will naturally send some people over to ask for help.
After receiving the message, the group hesitated for a moment before deciding to return to Yae Village.
Although the main city was attacked by real Honkai Beast, Otto's ship was in the main city's port. The ship was capable of fighting, and the city itself was not completely annihilated.
It has a well-developed city defense system, plus the assistance of combat personnel on board.
Therefore, the main city can hold out for a while longer.
Furthermore, Yae Sakura herself estimated that even if she couldn't completely wipe out the Daimyo's family, such a severe Honkai would be enough to make the Daimyo realize the importance of powerful Valkyrie like Kallen.
It is still very meaningful to leave the main city and return to defend Yae Village.
She was also very curious about how Li Pu, who seemed to have little fighting ability, could suddenly become so powerful in Yae Village.
After a brief discussion and communication, the group turned around and ran towards Yae Village.
Upon returning to Yae Village, the peace and beauty of the past were gone. All that remained were demolished houses and the incomplete remains of the victims.
And there was the sound of crying.
They returned a little late in the end, and for some reason, the wild beasts had run away again.
They didn't make it into the battle.
However, when the group returned to Yae Shrine, they were shocked to see the corpses of beasts infected by the Honkai on the steps leading to the shrine.
"That weapon?!"
Kallen immediately recognized the weapon in the hand of Li Pu, who was squatting at the end of the steps and looked a little tired.
"Isn't that the Colorless Serenade '?"
"He can actually do that too..."
"Use?!"
A weapon, especially a special one like this, possesses a certain degree of exclusivity. It's not something anyone can just pick up and use. While the Colorless Serenade can't be entirely considered Kallen's weapon...
However, it is basically assumed that it is her exclusive weapon, and even if it were given to someone else, they might not use it.
But Li Pu can actually be used?
It is important to understand that the more powerful a weapon is, the more powerful a user it needs. Even a divine weapon is no different from scrap metal if it does not have a powerful user.
It's even worse than scrap metal.
So Li Pu is actually very strong?
Kallen may be naive and straightforward, but she's not stupid!
