Chapter 152

"I understand, Himeko. Be careful, and good luck."

Seeing Himeko's determination, Theresa gave up trying to stop her. Now was not the time for hesitation. Theresa was the commander, and what she needed to do now was trust her subordinates. They wanted to save Kiana just like her, and they were both willing to give their strength for it. So what right did there be to stop her? What she needed to do now was to believe in her.

"Wait, I've tallied up the number of remaining mechs. Some of them can go with you. Otherwise, there won't be anyone to command them."

Himeko was about to set off when Tesla stepped forward. She gave Himeko a disdainful look. There couldn't be any accidents now; every bit of combat power was essential. She was worried about Himeko because she looked like a short-lived person. Without her help, Himeko would probably be defeated.

"No need, leave them all on the Hyperion. We need firepower here more."

Himeko shook her head. The Anti-Entropy combat mechs were now their greatest asset. The Third Airport was now under their control, and the Valkyrie forces at headquarters would definitely find a way to take it back. Leaving the mech forces here was also a form of protection.

"My decisions are final and cannot be challenged! Come find me when you're ready!"

Tesla's attitude was unusually firm, which was always her personality. The red-haired scientist rushed out in a hurry. She had to carry out her decision. Not only because of this matter, but also because she discovered that Shen Gonglin was very likely in that area, so she had to go there. They had brought 70% of the Anti-Entropy combat mechs this time, and sending out a small portion of them would definitely not be a problem.

As for this Murata Himeko ... does she think she doesn't know what she's thinking? Does she think she doesn't have much time left, so she volunteers for the most dangerous missions? Her thinking is so naive, it's really annoying. Does she think doing this will make others happy? Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. Tesla shuddered and rubbed her arm. These people all have this problem; it's really unpleasant. That's why she prefers Shen Gonglin's personality. If it were that kid, he definitely wouldn't act like this. Tesla feels comfortable being with Shen Gonglin's personality. The idiotic personalities of others are just too annoying!

So where is Shen Gonglin? I need to find him quickly and cleanse my head. Staying with these idiots has made my genius brain a bit rusty. I'm not familiar with them either. I need Shen Gonglin to come and teach this guy a lesson. After the last ME Company rescue operation, Tesla also knows Shen Gonglin's status. If it's him, then there's absolutely no problem.

"...Then Theresa, and the Doctor, I'm off."

Does this person feel uncomfortable if she doesn't argue with others? I really want to punch her.

Watching Tesla's retreating figure, Himeko clenched her fists and forced herself to hold back. She turned around, called out to Theresa and Einstein, and then ran out after them. This Second-hand Scientist is not cute at all!

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Finding a Bargain

Wow, that rope was tied really well. It seems I'm not the only one in this world with a strong learning ability. The Class President's learning ability is also top-notch. Is this a case of "hunting geese all day but getting pecked in the eye by one "Shen Gonglin never imagined that she would be tied up like this. This caterpillar-like binding method really leaves her no chance at all. Is there really no other way?

In a quiet corner of the Schicksal Headquarters, Shen Gonglin writhed on the ground like a maggot with a blackened heart. Fu Hua hadn't shown any mercy in binding him; the ropes tightly bound Shen Gonglin, rendering him completely immobile. He couldn't move at all, and his mouth was taped shut, preventing him from uttering a single word. Before, Shen Gonglin thought he could use his tongue to push the tape out of his mouth, but now that he had actually tried it, he realized it was impossible. After all, Fu Hua wasn't just playing around; she was serious. With so many layers of rope, even though Shen Gonglin was very strong, this had already exceeded his limits.

So now... all I can do is wait for someone to come and save me?

He was worried about the others; Kiana and Theresa both needed his help. A sense of emptiness filled his vision, and being alone made Shen Gonglin uneasy. His vision loss wasn't just darkness; it was a complete void, like the state of his closed eye when he was open. Before, with someone by his side, it was alright; Shen Gonglin had something to rely on. But now, Shen Gonglin, he was afraid. Was there anyone there? Was there anyone to save him?

However, just then, a light footstep reached Shen Gonglin's ears. Her five senses were already very sharp, and now that Shen Gonglin had lost her sight, her ears seemed to be even more sensitive. This footstep... it was definitely a human. It couldn't be Honkai Beast or Schicksal's defensive mech. Whether it was an enemy or an ally, it didn't matter, as long as Shen Gonglin wasn't left alone here.

"Mmm... Mmm... Mmm! XX..."

Like a stranded salted fish, Shen Gonglin jumped up and slammed his head against the wall. The pain brought tears to his eyes, but even so, he didn't give up making a commotion. "Come quick! There are people here! Come and save me!"

What's going on here? Is it because I've done so many good deeds that Heaven is taking pity on me? This kind of windfall is falling into my lap. I just came out to find Fu Hua to carry out a mission and this good thing happened. Sure enough, people should do good deeds, and good things will come their way.

Seeing the struggling fish not far away, the pretty girl dressed as a maid stopped in her tracks and covered her mouth in surprise. Was this what they meant by "searching for him a thousand times in the crowd, only to find him suddenly in the dim light"? Shen Gonglin, and this Shen Gonglin who was tied up and couldn't be seen, and whose mouth was also gagged... Rita subconsciously looked around. It would be good if only she could discover this good thing.

Rita originally wanted to go to the airport to board a warship to check on Shen Gonglin's situation, but the airport was directly occupied by the Far East Branch. Helpless, Rita could only accept the bishop's order to wait here and meet up with Fu Hua so that they could calm down the people who invaded the Honkai Furnace. However, when she arrived here, she saw Fu Hua Shen Gonglin tied up like a caterpillar Christmas present. This was really like being delivered to her doorstep.

Without intending to untie Shen Gonglin, the maid tiptoed to Shen Gonglin side. Looking at his wide-open but dull eyes, the maid felt a pang of heartache. She had finally figured out Shen Gonglin's current situation: having lost his sight, he had no idea who he was... Eh, he didn't know who he was, so wasn't this a good opportunity?

The maid, who was originally very gentle and considerate, suddenly seemed to change her demeanor. Her rose-colored eyes were fixed on Shen Gonglin. With such a good opportunity in front of her, it would be completely out of character for her not to do something. Anyway, Shen Gonglin didn't know it was her, so if she did something a little outrageous to him, it wouldn't be Rita Roseweisse's problem, right?

Once the idea was clear, the maid made a decision immediately. When it came to action, Rita possessed unparalleled confidence. During her time at St. Freya, she had virtually no opportunity. Fu Hua treated Shen Gonglin like a criminal, and she hadn't even had a chance to kiss him. Now, she had finally seized the opportunity! Even if she did something now, Shen Gonglin would only think he'd been taken advantage of by some unknown Valkyrie at headquarters, and then she could use her maid's unique care to soothe his wounded heart... That way, he would definitely develop a very, very strong dependence on her...

Hiss... Miss Rita, you're so mean! As expected of me, you're really something.

Praising herself inwardly, the maid squatted down, ready to grope the defenseless Shen Gonglin. Sensing the approaching breath, Shen Gonglin struggled even more fiercely. She recognized the scent—a rose-like fragrance. It was Rita. She hadn't expected to run into someone she knew. This was even better; she was finally saved.

I need to think this through. Where should I start? Should I just take off my pants, or should I start with myself? Would that be a bit hasty? The maid's rules don't describe this situation. I'll have to experiment on my own... I'm a little nervous. Relax, take a deep breath. It's no big deal. Anyway, Shen Gonglin doesn't know it's me. I guess I should start with a kiss. That would be more ceremonial.

The maid's pale blonde hair framed a pair of slightly disheveled rose-colored eyes. Her mind seemed to be overwhelmed with thoughts, and after much deliberation, she finally decided to start with Shen Gonglin's mouth, which was sealed shut with tape. Rita was a very elegant woman, after all, and she possessed all the proper sense of ritual.

So the maid gently peeled the tape off Shen Gonglin's mouth, and just as she was about to lean down to kiss her, Shen Gonglin spoke.

"Rita, right? Why are you so slow? I'm suffocating... Hurry up and untie me. Honestly, how dare Fu Hua treat me like this. When I find her, I'll hang her up and beat her... What are you standing there for? Hurry up and untie me."

Rita heard Shen Gonglin's clear voice, but her heart felt like it was about to break. How did he know it was her? She should have known better than to untie the tape. How was she supposed to continue like this?

Chapter Ninety-Eight

"Hehe... What are you talking about? I'm not that perfect, beautiful, and elegant Rita. I belong to the headquarters' Valkyrie unit..."

Rita still wanted to struggle, and now she was so regretful that she was scratching the wall. Why did she have to remove the tape from Shen Gonglin's mouth? If she hadn't removed it, things would have been fine. Heaven knows how this guy recognized her. She didn't say a word. No, she couldn't just give up so easily. There was still room for redemption. She wasn't Rita. She was just a Valkyrie passing by!

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I can't smell your scent?... Hey, your sense of smell has returned? And your disguised voice doesn't sound real at all. You're just showing off your limited skills. I'm the best at disguised voices. Alright, stop joking around. Hurry up and untie me. I'm so uncomfortable being tied up."

Her words confirmed Shen Gonglin's suspicion that she was Rita. This maid was quite playful, still putting on an act. Unfortunately, Shen Gonglin wasn't in the mood to play with her. She was lucky to have run into Rita. Durandal and Fu Hua were ex-girlfriends, but Rita was the current girlfriend. She certainly wouldn't be like Fu Hua... right?

"... As expected of Lady Rin, you actually managed to find out."

Since Shen Gonglin had said so, there was no point in continuing the pretense. Rita paused for a moment, then had no choice but to admit her identity. What a tragedy! She had been too complacent, wasting such a good opportunity. Next time, she absolutely couldn't hesitate; she had to get things done before Shen Gonglin could even react. This time was truly...

Rita, what a huge failure.

While summarizing her experience, Rita helped Shen Gonglin untie the ropes. Was this something Fu Hua had tied up? Rita could roughly guess why Fu Hua had tied Shen Gonglin up, but guessing didn't mean she had to follow Fu Hua's wishes. After all, Shen Gonglin's orders were the top priority. As Valkyrie and also the world's number one professional maid, carrying out her master's orders was a maid's primary duty... Speaking of which, Shen Gonglin could even smell her scent? That was truly good news! Did he like to secretly smell her things? Really, if he wanted to smell something, he could just tell her, and she could trade with him.

He can exchange his toothbrush for his worn stockings, which should be a good deal for him.

"Of course, how could I not smell you? Rita, you know what's going on here, and you know what I want to ask."

The ropes were untied, Shen Gonglin helped Rita to her feet. Her body was a little numb from being tied up, but now was not the time to relax. Shen Gonglin was eager to know the current situation of all parties, and he wondered how Theresa Mei and the others were doing, as well as Kiana... Rita should know these things.

"Lady Theresa has already occupied the Third Airport. Now the Bishop has ordered Lady Fu Hua and me to go there to bring her back to her senses. As for Miss Kiana, she is currently in Heimdall Research Lab, which is under the Bishop's personal supervision. Even I don't know the specifics. Lady Durandal is currently leading the Valkyrie forces to fight against the Honkai Beast have stormed into the headquarters. Lady Rin, in my opinion, you should find a safe place to wait for orders."

Rita honestly told everything she knew. True to her reputation as a breeding Schicksal for traitors, the maid didn't hesitate at all. She told Shen Gonglin everything she wanted to know. The maid was very clear-headed about these matters. She had just discovered on the Valkyrie forum that Durandal and Fu Hua were ex-girlfriends. With that precedent in mind, Rita didn't want her name added to that ex-girlfriends' alliance.

If that's the case, wouldn't I be just like those two stupid women? Mere ex-girlfriends? From now on, I'll have to walk with my head held high in front of them.

"I see..."

Shen Gonglin nodded, grateful for Rita's attitude. Of course, he wouldn't ask Rita to Schicksal against Schicksal and follow him; he couldn't do that. Although judging from her attitude, she would definitely agree if he asked, that wouldn't do. Rita was Valkyrie belonging to Schicksal, and not just any Valkyrie. He was already very happy that she had revealed so much information to him. Some things he had to do himself.

"I understand, Rita. Thank you for your help. Leave the rest to me. Thank you so much."

Having made a decision in her heart, her top priority now was to find Kiana's location as soon as possible. Theresa should be fine. When Fu Hua brought her here before, she heard reports of the existence of the Anti-Entropy Mecha in the communications. It seemed that Theresa had joined forces with Anti-Entropy, which should ensure her safety. Their purpose in attacking the Schicksal Headquarters was to save Kiana, and Shen Gonglin had not forgotten this goal.

As Shen Gonglin was about to leave, he bumped into Rita after taking only one step. The maid rubbed her chest and rolled her eyes at Shen Gonglin. How could she let him go alone in this state? He was already terrible with directions, and now he couldn't even see that this was the Schicksal Headquarters! What if Shen Gonglin got captured by another Valkyrie if he went alone like this? Rita was judging others by herself; she was sure there were many people who thought the same way she had before.

"Lady Rin, why don't you come with me for now? I think you know why. The routes to Schicksal Headquarters are very complicated. You absolutely cannot find Heimdall Research Lab by yourself. So... why don't you stay with me for now? We can discuss things further. After all, I might accidentally reveal some important information during our conversation, such as... the exact location of Heimdall Research Lab?"

Rita stopped Shen Gonglin and said with a smile that she knew what Shen Gonglin wanted. The headquarters was not safe, and Shen Gonglin was on the wanted list. It would be bad if he were captured by someone else. The best arrangement was for him to stay by her side so that she could take good care of him. The previous intelligence said that Shen Gonglin had lost all five senses, but now he could clearly hear and smell, but his eyesight had not yet recovered. Therefore, this action was necessary until he recovered.

Wow, this maid really knows what I want. How can I refuse her? I have no choice but to go with her.

By placing her hand in Rita's, Shen Gonglin followed her forward. It has to be said, this woman is quite shrewd.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Simple Fool

The Schicksal Headquarters is the area that provides energy for the entire Schicksal operation. The huge Honkai Furnace are constantly running, providing energy support for this massive aerial fortress. It is obviously impossible to stop so many Honkai Furnace at once, but it is possible to stop just one, to stop the defensive shield of its research lab.

"This should be it. Done. Himeko, notify Theresa and the others that they can prepare for their breakthrough."

Beside the Honkai Furnace, hacking genius Tesla easily breached Schicksal's firewall and shut down the Honkai Furnace that provided energy to the defensive shield. Hacking was her specialty, and in this respect, she was probably more skilled than Bronya and Shen Gonglin. She was extremely familiar with Schicksal's technical methods, and after so many years, the same level of defense was simply not enough.

"Okay, Doctor, but what's our next battle plan?"

Slightly panting, Himeko relayed the information to Theresa, who was waiting on the Hyperion. She had been buying time for Tesla while she was breaking through the firewall. All the Valkyrie units had been redeployed by Durandal to defend against the Honkai Beast's attack, but the drone mechs here were also very troublesome. Her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she was finally approaching her limit.

"Operation plan? I think I should give Otto a private call and have him shut down all the Schicksal Honkai Furnace at Schicksal, then roll out a red carpet to welcome us into the lab, and then open a few bottles of champagne to celebrate. What do you think of that plan? Hmph, what kind of plan could there be? Of course, we'd just smash everything we see to pieces!"

She has a fiery temper. This Red-haired Twin Tails Second-hand Scientist is either arguing with people or on her way to arguing with people. What kind of battle plan could she possibly have? Just like that Chicken Coop Head said, the only plan to deal with this situation is not to make a plan.

"I think your previous idea was quite clever, but I also like your idea of smashing everything you see to pieces. Let's do it that way."

Himeko shook her head. Himeko wasn't angry at being teased like that. After all, the other woman was her reinforcement. Why did she feel like the other woman was targeting her? She wasn't usually this hot-tempered when dealing with other people. When did she do something that the other woman disapproved of?

"Hmph, you and the mecha unit can handle the destruction. I still need to continue researching the route. Simply shutting down this one Honkai Furnace is not enough. The firewall will soon detect the problem and connect to the backup Honkai Furnace. We need to continue."

Tesla naturally has its own plans, so why would it tell this idiot in front of it?

"Okay... but this place is even more winding than I remember. It's been several years since I last came here. Do you have any other ideas? It's not good to waste time looking for directions."

Having received the next instructions, Himeko was immediately at a loss when she looked at the maze of interconnected routes. This level of maze could probably stump a hundred Shen Gonglin. There were just too many forks in the road, and no warning signs. She had been to headquarters before when she was in the Stormtroopers, but this seemed even more confusing. She had no idea where the path to the lower level was.

"Fortunately, unlike that dizzy lady, I've located the Honkai Furnace; it should be around here."

Tesla rolled its eyes at Himeko and strode ahead of her, ignoring her. After being retorted by her again, Himeko took a deep breath to calm herself down. She thought, "Hold on, hold on. After all, she's a technician. Technicians deserve to be treated well."

"Have you always been this fiery with your words?"

After calming down, Himeko followed Tesla and asked curiously, "I wonder how the others in Anti-Entropy put up with it. With Tesla's temper, the people who work with her must be under a lot of pressure. If we weren't relying on her right now, Himeko would probably have already beaten her up. Is she like this to everyone or just targeting me? If it's just targeting me, did I steal her rice?"

"No, it's just that I particularly hate fools like you. Because you don't have much time left, you take on the most dangerous tasks and want to sacrifice yourself to pave the way for your companions. People like you have very simple ideas, and I can see through them immediately."

Tesla snorted coldly without even glancing at Himeko. In her eyes, this kind of person was an idiot, and she hated people like that the most. So after discovering Himeko's plan, she was in a bad mood. It wasn't just targeting Himeko, but people like her. How annoying!

"So... you came all this way just to tell me this?"

Without refuting anything, Himeko asked in return. So she had discovered it. Beneath Tesla's fiery temper, there was a delicate heart hidden about not having much time.

"Huh? Don't flatter yourself. I've only ever met an even dumber idiot than you. People like you annoy me. Just thinking about you makes me sick. You only think about yourselves. I heard you're Shen Gonglin's teacher, right? If it were him, he would never do something like this, thinking he's doing something glorious and great, and then just killing himself and leaving everyone else to bear the negative emotions. Shen Gonglin is much better than you people in this respect. Someone as willful as him wouldn't act like you. That kid would never bear anything alone. He's much better than people like you."

Using Shen Gonglin as a comparison, Tesla didn't hold back in criticizing her dissatisfaction with Himeko. Perhaps such a person is great and dazzling, but she still prefers to be with someone with Shen Gonglin's personality. At least with him, she wouldn't have to worry about regrets, regrets for not realizing things sooner, or regrets for making others take the blame for her... If it were him, he would definitely push his share of responsibility onto others. That's just how willful he is.

"Dr. Tesla... From what you're saying, it seems you really like Shen Gonglin?"

Himeko frowned. Tesla's words gave her a bad feeling. Was she thinking about her student?

"Yes, I really like him, so you should try your best to live well. I won't mind sending you some wedding candy when the time comes."

Himeko glanced at Tesla and said such things boldly. Since Shen Gonglin wasn't around, he could say whatever he wanted. Maybe he could even ignite the idiot's will to live. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, right?

Chapter 100: I Don't Agree to This Relationship!

"Hiss... I never expected you to have such feelings for me, Tesla. You're a good person. I've always thought of you as a little sister. How about we start as friends?"

As soon as Tesla finished speaking, footsteps came from the shadows. A maid led Shen Gonglin out, hand in hand. Shen Gonglin felt his cheeks burning as soon as he heard those words. So this is what it feels like to be confessed to in private. Shen Gonglin was momentarily at a loss for words. Then, he instinctively handed over several cards: the "Good Person Card," the "Sister Card," and the "Friend Card." With all three cards out, Shen Gonglin only had one card left.

"It's quite a surprise, Miss Tesla. So you like Lord Rin quite a bit... But unfortunately, Lord Rin is still a minor, so you'd better tone down your feelings a little."

The maid spoke with a smile, having been ordered to stop them. Upon arriving, she heard Tesla speaking so openly. Despite Rita's smiling face, her other hand was secretly clenched into a fist. Someone had such a scheme; she had to teach them a lesson.

"That's right, Shen Gonglin is still a minor. You should give up on any other bold ideas I might have about growing up."

Along with that, another voice rang out. As soon as the voice rang out, Shen Gonglin recognized who it was. A black figure slowly walked out of the shadows. The person was none other than Shen Gonglin's ex-girlfriend, Fu Hua. She had come here with Rita to stop Himeko and Tesla, but she had overheard these words. Even though Shen Gonglin was unwilling to admit it now, Fu Hua still regarded him as her guardian. Anything other than a pure relationship was absolutely forbidden!

"Shen Gonglin? And Rita and... Fu Hua? Tesla, watch out... Hey, this isn't the time to be distracted. So what if you got rejected? Focus, the battle is about to begin!"

Himeko was on high alert, never expecting to run into Fu Hua and the others here. And why was Shen Gonglin here? She thought he was missing, but it turned out that Fu Hua and the others had captured him beforehand. The Valkyrie gripped her greatsword tightly, but she had no chance of winning at all. Putting Fu Hua aside, that maid over there looked gentle and weak, but in reality, she was S-rank Valkyrie. With her strength, she wouldn't be a match for her.

"Who confessed and got rejected?! I didn't confess Shen Gonglin, listen to me! I was just joking... No, I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything... Waaaaah! Whatever, I'll wipe you all out! If I wipe you all out, no one will know!"

His face was as red as a boiled crab. There couldn't be anything more embarrassing in the world than this. He had only said it casually to tease Himeko, but how did the person in question hear it? And not just Himeko, but so many people at the same time... In this situation, only death could guarantee his innocence, but Tesla didn't want to die, so he had to let others die. Tesla was going to kill a few people today!

The red mech, having deactivated its optical camouflage, appeared behind Tesla. The maid and Fu Hua's positions were obvious. They happened to encounter Shen Gonglin here. After dealing with the two of them, they could rescue Shen Gonglin. At that time, they had to use threats and inducements to prevent her from revealing what had just happened.

"Oh? So this is Anti-Entropy's latest combat mech. It looks like cleaning it will be a bit troublesome. Could you please not resist? After all, Durandal is quite fond of cleanliness."

A glint flashed in the maid's eyes, and then her figure vanished instantly. When she reappeared, she was already standing on the red mecha. Rita's scythe blade gleamed, and Tesla's meticulously crafted mecha shattered with a crash. In the eyes of the S-rank Valkyrie, this mecha was just something that was a little troublesome to clean up.

What happened with that explosion? Did Rita make a move? No, Himeko and Tesla are no match for Rita. I have to find a way. What can I do?

Unable to see, she could only rely on her ears to discern. Shen Gonglin analyzed the situation, trying to come up with a solution, but there was no way out. She couldn't use any enhancements, and even her own electromagnetic control was malfunctioning. Without combat power, she couldn't do anything. Although she could stop Rita from acting, it was pointless. There was also the Class President nearby. The maid would listen to her, but the Class President wouldn't. So now... was there really no way out?

"Don't worry, we won't hurt them... Did Rita untie you? Shen Gonglin, just stay here quietly, it will be over soon."

Fu Hua was also surprised to see Shen Gonglin Jingu here. Shouldn't he be tied up and staying in that safe place? However, when she saw the maid, Fu Hua understood. This maid was indeed very special. She even suspected that Rita might have something called the Shen Gonglin radar installed on her. Fortunately, Shen Gonglin had not yet recovered his power, otherwise, given his methods, it would definitely be very troublesome.

To prevent Shen Gonglin from moving around, Fu Hua silently took out a rope again. Poor Shen Gonglin was unaware that danger was approaching. Fu Hua seemed to like this feeling. With no room to resist, Shen Gonglin was tightly tied up by Fu Hua in the blink of an eye. This time, Rita could not be allowed to untie him. Letting Shen Gonglin move freely was definitely a mistake. He should stay put.

"Eh... Eh? I was careless, I didn't dodge again... Himeko, help me, that bastard ambushed me again!"

With no chance to resist, Shen Gonglin was bound like a dumpling by Fu Hua again. Has this guy gotten addicted to tying people up? Fu Hua was placed on the ground like a caterpillar. Shen Gonglin could do was shout for help, but by the time Himeko arrived, Fu Hua had already blocked her way.

"Major Himeko, this concludes the discussion."

Fu Hua sighed slightly. This was a battle with no suspense to begin with. Shen Gonglin had no combat ability, and Tesla the mecha was dismantled, Tesla was about the same as Shen Gonglin. The only one who still had combat power was Murata Himeko, but she was facing herself and Rita alone. Even if you filled the Pacific Ocean, you couldn't do anything about it. So this was the only way to end it. She hoped that Himeko would not resist. She would understand in the future that this was the right choice.

Chapter 101 Cherish Life!

The battle situation was quite clear. Shen Gonglin was tied up and unable to move, while Tesla, who had lost his mecha, was knocked to the ground by Rita in one move. Facing Rita and Fu Hua, Himeko knew that her chances of winning were zero, but even so, she did not let go of the greatsword in her hand. Some things, you have to do even if you know you will fail!

"Major Himeko, please lay down your weapons. Coming here was a mistake. Kiana, she..."

If she could, Fu Hua really didn't want to fight Himeko, but if Himeko insisted on fighting, then she would have no choice but to intervene. Before the battle, Fu Hua wanted to try to dissuade Himeko. As a warrior who had been fighting against the Honkai for so long, Himeko should know what to do now, but why was she so stubborn?

"I know she's not the real Kiana. Theresa and I have known that for a long time."

Himeko calmly uttered the words Fu Hua hadn't had a chance to say. Fu Hua's expression froze, while Shen Gonglin, lying on the ground, was somewhat confused. What did it mean that she wasn't the real Kiana? If Kiana wasn't the real Kiana, then who was she? And who was the real Kiana...?
