Chapter 303
Her only skills are cooking and fighting, but these are not enough to change her situation.
That's why she's always caught in situations beyond her control.
The girl hugged her arms helplessly; this despair of being unable to do anything was more painful and distressing than any injury.
Bai Ge cupped her cheeks and wiped away the tears in her eyes. His golden eyes held a resolute look as he asked in a deep voice.
"Tears are proof of failure; they can't change any tragedy. So, Sakura, do you know where your sister is?"
"...I know, but that place is heavily guarded, and if they take the bell hostage, I..."
Sakura clenched her fists and said unwillingly, even though she had become Fusion Warrior and had the power to eliminate all enemies, what if those people pointed their guns at Rin?
So all she could do was put down her knife and obediently let herself be killed.
However, a warm hand patted Sakura's head.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
"Captain Bai Ge..."
"Your loved one has been kidnapped and you can't do anything about it... I understand how you feel, very much."
Bai Ge clenched his fists. He thought of his experience with Sirin during the Second Honkai Eruption. Back then, Sirin was kidnapped by the Fool, and he had no choice but to dig out his own Herrscher Core.
He had never forgotten the despair, helplessness, and anger he felt back then, which is why Bai Ge could now understand Ying's feelings.
So he decided to help Sakura.
This was not out of sympathy or pity, but simply out of indignation... Bai Ge absolutely did not want that kind of thing to happen to him again, whether it happened to him or someone else, he would never allow it.
"I will be your companion, Sakura. I will definitely reunite you sisters."
"Really? You're willing to help me?"
Sakura's eyes widened, and she quickly grasped Bai Ge's hand as if it were her last lifeline.
"Hmm~ Leave it to me. I'm a hero who can save the world. Saving one, no, two sisters trapped in tragedy is a piece of cake."
Bai Ge patted his chest and said confidently.
Immediately, tears streamed down Sakura's cheeks again, and she felt as if a ray of light had shone into her world.
"Ah, but you have to promise me something later, something very important and difficult."
"I promise, I promise anything!"
Sakura said without hesitation.
This older sister would do anything for her younger sister, whether it's killing or sacrificing herself, as long as Bai Ge can save Ling, even if it means offering herself up, Ying wouldn't refuse.
"Very good, then let's not delay, let's set off now and reunite you sisters as soon as possible."
"Bai Ge, what about me? What should I do?"
The Pink Fairy Lady was also fired up. She raised her hand high, indicating that she couldn't be left out of this. Her reward afterward was simply that Sakura would let her touch her ears.
"Aili, go and inform May and Mobius, and tell them to prepare to take over power. This time I'm also planning to kill a few Moth Chasing Fire councilors for fun."
Bai Ge pondered for a few seconds and then smiled.
"Hey hey hey~! Aren't you excluding me from the game?!"
"Sakura, give me directions, let's go."
Before Elysia could complain, Bai Ge pulled Sakura up from her knees and then unfurled his white dragon wings, soaring into the sky from the balcony. The instantaneous supersonic flight made Sakura shiver.
She instinctively hugged Bai Ge's neck tighter, her pink fox ears completely drooping.
In less than ten minutes, Bai Ge found the target location based on Ying's directions. After the two fell from the sky, Ying immediately covered her mouth and turned pale... This unprotected flight at Mach 10 would have seriously injured her if she hadn't become Fusion Warrior.
"Is this what you think it is?"
Bai Ge looked around and quickly found the pattern of a moth with burning wings, realizing that this was a protected area, although it looked more like a prison from the outside.
The area is Moth Chasing Fire soldiers on patrol, surveillance, drones, and detectors. Even Fusion Warrior would find it difficult to infiltrate undetected under such tight security.
He used his privileges to search the information and found that it was a protected area specifically for important figures in the Moth Chasing Fire, mostly family members of high-ranking officials.
"Yes, yes, my sister is being 'protected' in this area. What should we do next?"
Sakura took a while to regain her composure, but fortunately, she had excellent self-control and didn't do anything to ruin her image as a beautiful girl, such as spitting out rainbows...
At the same time, her hand was already gripping the hilt of the knife at her waist, as if she would rush in at any moment, braving a hail of bullets to rescue her sister.
But Sakura restrained herself, because she knew that she was not capable enough to save her loved ones, and that the person with the ability was right beside her.
Sakura looked at Bai Ge with hopeful anticipation.
Is there anything I can do?
"No, Sakura, you can stay here and wait for me."
Bai Ge shook his head, indicating that he was capable on his own.
Then, to Sakura's astonishment, his body gradually became transparent until it disappeared completely. Sakura closed her eyes and opened all her senses, but she couldn't detect any trace of Bai Ge.
He seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Wait for my good news."
"... Please, Captain Bai Ge."
Hearing the voice beside her, Sakura's heart pounded.
The ability Bai Ge was displaying gave her unprecedented hope. Ying thought that if it was this person, he could definitely save her sister.
...(bbfe)...
"This method is indeed very convenient for infiltration."
The quantum-enhanced Bai Ge entered the protected area like a ghost, bypassing the eyes of the soldiers, the detection of drones, and the noses of the training dogs.
Before him, transformed into Quantum Ghost, they were all utterly helpless.
Bai Ge found the place Ying had mentioned beforehand without any hindrance; it was a single-story hut.
Although not spacious, it was more than enough for the two sisters. Currently, two soldiers are guarding it. This is the accommodation that Moth Chasing Fire arranged for the Sakura Bell sisters.
"I'll deal with you later."
In his Quantum Ghost form, Bai Ge didn't even need to go through the door; he simply passed through the wall and entered the sisters' small home.
Although it's just a small house of about 60 square meters, it's clean and tidy inside. There's a vase on the dining table, a fox doll on the sofa, and a photo of Sakura and Rin on the cabinet.
Anyone can see that this is a warm and cozy little home.
Although it wasn't big, it was a home that Sakura had earned through her hard work. Bai Ge looked around as if admiring a beautiful view, and his understanding of Sakura grew stronger.
Putting himself in his shoes, if it were to protect this warm and peaceful little home, Bai Ge would be willing to shed countless drops of blood.
(Speaking of which, I feel a strange sense of déjà vu. This kind of person who sacrifices themselves to create a small Elysian Realm in order to protect the people they care about, and who will never give up no matter how much suffering and danger they suffer... isn't this exactly like me during the Second Honkai Eruption of the Current Civilization?!)
Thinking of this, Bai Ge's affection for Ying soared again, and he thought that he had to give her a good ending.
"If it's not anywhere else, then it must be here."
Bai Ge searched around but couldn't find Rin. Finally, he looked at Sakura's bedroom, the only room he hadn't checked. Rin, missing her sister who wasn't home, would definitely stay in Sakura's bedroom.
He walked straight through the door.
Sure enough, they spotted the girl.
Rin has pink hair like Sakura, but she wears it in a single ponytail. Unlike her sister's purple eyes, she has a pair of blue eyes. You can tell at a glance that the two are sisters.
And at that moment, Ling was busy with something, her brow furrowed.
"Here it should be like this, then like this, okay~ all done! Hope it comes in handy later!"
Ling held a simple grappling hook rope in her hand. Because it was handmade by a young girl, it looked very rough, like a child's toy that seemed easy to break.
Bai Ge looked at Ling with great interest.
Then she walked to the bedside, used her petite frame to squeeze her upper body under the bed, then pulled back in with a box in her arms, carefully placing the homemade grappling hook rope inside.
Bai Ge glanced at them and found they were all escape tools: a compass, a map of the area, pepper spray, and compressed biscuits.
"I don't know when my sister will come back next time. I will definitely escape from here one day... Sister, really, do you think I'm a child who doesn't understand anything? Do you think I can't see that you are doing dangerous work for Rin?"
Rin took out a photo of herself and Sakura from the box and looked at the photo of her older sister, talking to herself.
"Sister, come back safely this time too."
"That's so true. Children shouldn't think they can see through adults, but adults shouldn't think they can easily see through children either. You're so smart, Sakura's little sister."
Bai Ge expressed his heartfelt admiration.
Sakura was willing to risk her life and shed blood for her younger sister, but her sister was not a clueless little flower vase who only knew nothing.
Ling is also trying in her own way. Even though she is still just a minor, she is already trying to escape this protected area dominated by the Moth Chasing Fire.
Are all the kids in the Honkai Impact 3rd world this overpowered?
Kiana and Elysia started traveling the world at the age of ten. Bronya became known as the Ural Silver Wolf at a young age. Durandal was blown in the head and fell from a height of 1,000 meters at the age of ten, but survived. Rin looks to be only about ten years old now, but she has already started planning to escape from the Moth Chasing Fire's protected area.
"W-Who are you!"
Ling was startled by Bai Ge. A big brother had suddenly appeared in her home, where she lived alone, and she even saw the escape gear box that she had been secretly preparing for a long time.
