Chapter 175

Bronya originally planned to treat him every day, but then the girl thought again and worried that her body might not be able to handle it. After all, if that feeling came too often, her body might not be able to take it.

"So-so? But I think it should be considered a full recovery..."

Shen Gonglin frowned as he looked down at the delicate little feet of the girl in his arms. For someone like him who was obsessed with everything, Bronya's feet were as exquisite as works of art. If he wasn't worried that she hadn't washed her feet and might have athlete's foot, Shen Gonglin would have liked to press his face against them. Her little feet were warm and her toes were nimble and flexible, not at all like they hadn't recovered. Maybe he should just give her feet a good bite after she washed them?

It might be a little bit perverted, but it's for the sake of healing, Shen Gonglin feels that she should be able to overcome this psychological barrier.

Then again, girls as refined as them shouldn't have problems like athlete's foot, right? Like Kiana, no matter when Shen Gonglin always smells nice on her. Even when they slept together in a sleeping bag, she didn't smell anything strange on Kiana. If that's the case, then maybe I could just give Bronya's feet a kiss right now?

Shen Gonglin... she really is a pervert.

Bronya calmly looked at Shen Gonglin. Her emotionless demeanor provided the best cover. Even though she was starting to feel shy inside, she maintained her poker face on the surface. She had noticed that Shen Gonglin was very concerned about her feet. Before they recovered, Bronya didn't feel anything, but now that her legs had regained feeling, Shen Gonglin made her legs feel hot. It seemed that even without Mei's lewd figure, she still had a chance.

It's great that Shen Gonglin is a pervert.

"Hey! Do you two even respect me as the headmistress?! Do you even remember the school rules? Bronya, this girl is yours to handle. Hurry up and get her to talk!"

These two completely disregarded her! They were already acting recklessly right in front of her. St. Freya forbids impure interactions between members of the opposite sex. Remembering her position as headmistress, Theresa rushed over to separate them. Everyone knew that Shen Gonglin was a pervert, but how could Bronya tolerate him? Theresa had initially thought Bronya was the most reliable of the three Valkyrie, but now it seemed she was the most dangerous. Kiana and Mei still had a girl's reserve and shyness, but Bronya ... well, Theresa didn't want to talk about it anymore. She'd probably agree to whatever Shen Gonglin said. Feeling exhausted, Theresa waved her hand. Taking care of these troublesome girls was truly exhausting.

Himeko used to have Himeko to help her, but now Himeko is nowhere to be found, and she's all alone. Theresa is really tired.

"The headmaster has spent most of his life in education, so he should have more experience dealing with children."

Theresa separated her from Shen Gonglin. Bronya quietly put on her shoes and looked at the headmaster who had started to get in her way. She had clearly felt that Shen Gonglin was wavering, and he might actually bite her, but Theresa had interrupted her. On the surface, she didn't react, but Bronya still had some feelings of resentment, and this was her way of venting them.

"Most of my life! Bronya, what are you implying! I've only taught ordinary girls, I've never encountered this kind of special situation. Alright, alright, Bronya is more experienced in dealing with machines."

When the topic of age came up, Theresa couldn't help but start to feel self-conscious. Although she looked like a little girl, Theresa was actually quite old. She was a very contradictory person. On one hand, she cared a lot about her figure and wanted others to treat her as a mature adult. On the other hand, she was afraid of people mentioning her real age. Now that Bronya had suddenly said something like that, Theresa felt that Bronya was implying something. After all, Bronya wasn't exactly a well-behaved girl. She had a rebellious side, something Theresa knew very well.

"Machine..."

The android girl standing next to Theresa softly repeated the two words. Theresa's expression froze. She seemed to have accidentally said something quite inappropriate. This... this seemed to be a bit immature.

"The headmaster said something he shouldn't have."

Bronya quietly began to deliver the finishing blow. It was all because Theresa had interrupted her interaction with Shen Gonglin earlier. Now that Kiana and Mei were not around, this was the perfect opportunity, but the headmistress had interfered. She had to get a little revenge.

Chapter Forty: Likable Yet Annoying

"Hey hey hey... um... sigh, child, what's your name?"

Theresa realized her mistake. She turned to look at the girl behind her. Her expression was hidden by her visor, but she knew she had made a mistake. She had said those words without thinking, which was not something an educator should say. Theresa touched her cheek awkwardly. She had only been angry because she saw Shen Gonglin and Bronya being so intimate, and had spoken without thinking. She really hadn't meant it that way.

"Her name is 2B! It's the name I just came up with. Isn't it cute? I think it suits her perfectly."

Shen Gonglin raised his hand in approval. He genuinely felt that the name suited the android girl quite well. Since she had said she didn't have a name, this was perfect. Shen Gonglin had already decided that he would call her that from now on.

"I'm not called 2B, and machines don't need to have names."

She wouldn't accept the name Shen Gonglin gave herself. Naming a machine is truly baffling. However, the android girl did find many strange things in the information in her brain. There are a large group of people online who call their computers or game consoles "waifus." They are a strange bunch.

"Machine? What are you talking about! I was just talking nonsense, I'm so sorry."

The headmistress sincerely apologized for her mistake. She shouldn't have said that. The girl in front of her wasn't a robot; she had only undergone biological modification. In Theresa's eyes, she was just a living, breathing little girl, not a machine.

"Don't feel sorry, because I really am a machine. Machines only need a model number and a code, there's no need to name them. You can just call me a humanoid machine."

The android girl's reaction remained unchanged; even her tone was completely unaffected, as if in her mind she was simply a machine, because that was the reality—she was a machine used by her master to process various kinds of information.

"Was your modification... done by Gray Serpent? He did such a terrible thing to you."

Theresa fell silent for a moment. The attitude of the android girl made her feel uncomfortable. It was something that shouldn't have happened, yet she could say it with such a calm, normal, and even matter-of-fact attitude. This made Theresa very sad. In her opinion, these things should never have happened at all.

"Excessive? No, it was Master who saved me and us. In this city, everyone has surgery... to have a device installed in their body to monitor the concentration of Honkai energy. It's actually quite rare to find someone who is completely natural."

As the android girl spoke, she gazed at the people opposite her: the strange boy who was holding her back and preventing her from escaping, the little girl with the bizarre hairstyle, the short man dressed as a nun, and the girl with the knife who had left earlier. Under her scan, all of these people appeared to be completely natural human beings... In short, it seemed that none of them had undergone any modifications by implanted machines, which was very strange.

When did you have the surgery?

Having learned some unknown facts, Theresa felt a little heavy-hearted. It turned out that in this city, human modification was the norm, and this seemingly prosperous city was actually supported by biological modification. This fact was really hard to accept.

"I don't remember much about the past. I only remember the Great Honkai. The Honkai took away my father and mother, and I was also corrupted. My head hurt a lot. In order to survive, they gave me a choice: either die or undergo experiments. Even someone with a brain would know which one to choose, right? Then they cut open my head, removed the damaged parts, and stuffed in some new things. My head became so light and fast. Life itself is a transaction. Since I survived, in return, I started to connect to the internet and filter information for my master."

She calmly recounted her experiences. Although it was a cruel story, the android girl spoke as if it had happened to someone else. She was indeed very sad and upset at first, but those memories were no longer clear. Now she could calmly recount what happened back then. It wasn't a big deal. People live and then die, and she had already benefited greatly, so this was normal.

"So that's how it is... You were also a victim of that Great Honkai... My friend was also taken away by the Honkai. She was a very important friend to me. The reason I became Valkyrie was to protect the people around me... But I'm so sorry, as Valkyrie, I have never been able to fulfill my vow to protect them... I couldn't even properly protect Kiana..."

Understanding the fate of the android girl, Theresa also recalled what had happened to her. The Honkai had indeed taken away many things she cherished: Cecilia, Siegfried, and many colleagues and friends. And now, Himeko and Kiana ... Thinking of this, Theresa looked up at Shen Gonglin. The girl's somewhat disappointed expression finally eased a little. He had said that Himeko was currently just adrift in the Imaginary Space, and that one day he would bring her back. And because he had always been by her side, Kiana's condition wasn't too bad either. Everything was developing in a positive direction, and all of this was thanks to this seemingly unreliable guy.

Noticing Theresa's gaze, Shen Gonglin walked over and gently placed his hand on Theresa's head. Through the nun's hat, Shen Gonglin gently rubbed her head. Theresa was quite surprised to be treated like this by him. She was the headmistress, how could she be comforted by a student patting her head like this? But being patted on the head by Shen Gonglin... it felt so good.

Theresa couldn't help but gently move her head and rub against Shen Gonglin's palm. She had always thought that as the headmistress, she should stand firmly in front of the students and protect them from the wind and rain. But she had never had the experience of being able to act cute in front of someone like this before. No wonder so many people liked Shen Gonglin. This girl is indeed likable.

"Hey Theresa, I noticed you're even shorter than Bronya. You're probably the shortest person in St. Freya. You're really bad, so bad you're practically spitting out your toes."

However, as expected of Shen Gonglin, just as Theresa was beginning to feel touched, he started again. The little elementary school principal's face instantly darkened again. This guy is not only likable, but also particularly annoying!

Chapter 41 Delaying Time

As Theresa was being bitten on the arm by Shen Gonglin, a battle was raging in another corner of the city. The blades of katanas gleamed in the night, but the flashing light, like bees and butterflies, couldn't harm the maids in the arena. From the start of the battle, Rita maintained a leisurely demeanor, as if the flashing light around her wasn't the gleam of swords but the flowers blooming in the maid's courtyard at noon. The difference in combat power was too great; if she wanted to, she could probably defeat him easily.

Mei's painstaking offensive was easily destroyed by Rita's scythe. Slightly panting, Mei looked at the maid in front of her. Unlike her current disheveled state, the maid remained elegant and composed. Mei knew she was no match for her, but Mei hadn't expected the difference in their fighting strength to be so great. No wonder she was an S-rank Valkyrie; the maid hadn't used her full strength yet, probably because of Shen Gonglin. She hadn't expected that even without Shen Gonglin's presence, she was still enjoying his care... But Mei was in a similar situation; she could take care of him.

"It's really surprising. I didn't expect that even after losing the Conquest Gem, Miss Mei's combat strength is still so formidable. I originally thought that you were only able to hold on until now because of the Conquest Gem. Now I finally understand why the Bishop cares so much about the Far East Branch. Whenever you are at your wit's end, you always manage to take an unexpected step. Miss Mei, you are truly remarkable."

Despite Mei's continued composure throughout the battle, Rita was genuinely surprised by her combat prowess. Based on the information from the Immortal Blade, Rita estimated that Mei would be defeated within ten moves after losing the Conqueror's Conquest Gem. Even though Rita wasn't using her full strength, Mei to hold on this long was astonishing. This rate of growth was completely different from that of a typical Valkyrie.

As expected of someone chosen by Shen Gonglin, this Mei- san is not just good at cooking. Given time, her future achievements will be no less than mine.

"In the past, I always hid under the shell of Herrscher, both afraid of and dependent on this power. It wasn't until I lost Kiana and Shen Gonglin that I realized how weak I really was... so weak that I couldn't hold their hands or protect them. Now, I no longer need to hide. I will protect everything I cherish!"

Despite having lost the Conquest Gem, Mei's body still crackled with electricity. Fueled by this unwavering belief, Mei gripped her katana and attacked once more. However, the gap in combat power sometimes cannot be bridged by sheer willpower. Schicksal has many Valkyrie, with countless B-rank and A-rank members. Among these Valkyrie, only four have earned the title of S-rank. Let's leave aside Shen Gonglin and a certain headmistress who seems to have gotten in through connections. Rita, on the other hand, is a true S-rank Valkyrie.

Rita raised her scythe, the lightning-encased katana seemingly fierce, yet unable to break through its defenses. With a light swing, Mei's attack was instantly thwarted, and the girl knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The difference in combat power was simply too great. Was this the true might of an S-rank? She couldn't feel this kind of pressure from the headmistress and Shen Gonglin. Rita was truly extraordinary.

"There's no point in being stubborn. When your strength can't match your promise, struggling will only lead to tragedy. Miss Mei, I hope you remember that. For the sake of my little Rin, I won't hurt you too badly. After all, he really likes your cooking. If I were to hurt you, he would definitely throw a tantrum at me. Durandal is a prime example... Of course, I'll do the same. If you can cooperate with me, where are Lady Theresa and the android now? I would be very grateful if you were willing to tell me."

Maintaining her politeness and elegance, the maid did not press her advantage after forcing Mei back. This task was indeed difficult. Mei was someone that Shen Gonglin cherished, and if she hurt her, Shen Gonglin would definitely be unhappy. As a qualified maid, Rita would certainly not make Shen Gonglin feel unhappy. Her task was to make him feel comfortable. However, she was now working for Schicksal, and not getting information would not be in line with her work beliefs. So, this was a difficult situation, truly a thorny one.

If she's unwilling to talk about it, then I'll have to think of other ways. After all, I still have a job that I'm Schicksal to do, and if I don't do what I'm supposed to do, Rita will be too embarrassed to ask Otto for more money.

"I won't tell."

Mei's attitude remained firm. The girl's pupils shifted slightly, and Theresa's communication came through the earring on her crystal earlobe: the mission to delay was complete, and it was time for her to rejoin the team.

Mei pressed a button. Mei had already planted smoke bombs while lying in ambush here. Thick white smoke obscured Mei's figure. She never intended to leave Rita here. On one hand, she really couldn't do it. On the other hand, this maid seemed to have a close relationship with Shen Gonglin. Like Rita, Mei was afraid that if she hurt her, Shen Gonglin would be sad. But after fighting, Mei realized that it seemed unlikely that she could hurt her.

"Oh? Disappeared? It really took quite a while. But now that you've left me, Mei- san should be preparing to rejoin the team."

Wearing white silk gloves, Rita gently fanned away the thick smoke in front of her. After the smoke cleared, Mei was nowhere to be seen. This outcome was exactly what Rita had expected. After all, she wouldn't kill Mei. If Mei didn't want to be captured and brought back to her Schicksal, she could only choose to escape. And escaping would take her to Theresa and the humanoid machine. Rita pulled out a display screen and looked at the receding red dot with a perfect smile. Very good, she'll take her there like this. After this mission is completed, she'll have to ask the bishop to give her more money. After all, she's not all alone anymore.

Rita still has Shen Gonglin to support in the future. If she doesn't earn more money now while she can, how will she live in the future? There will probably be many people in the family, and the expenses will definitely be high. As the saying goes, "plan for a rainy day," Rita has already started thinking about these issues. How can the Valkyrie's salary be enough? For the sake of the Jingu family's livelihood, the maid must continue to work hard. Who told her that her master only knows how to spend money and not how to earn it?

Chapter Forty-Two

"Headmaster, the person who killed the Gray Serpent has indeed appeared. It's Rita Roseweisse, the lieutenant of the Immortal Blade!"

After the successful evacuation, Mei's communication came through. Theresa bit her lip, feeling that things were starting to get complicated. How could it be this person? If it were someone else, Theresa might have had some other thoughts, but now that it was confirmed to be Rita, Theresa just wanted to get away from her as soon as possible.

"Received. Rin Shen Gonglin has already confirmed that it was that woman. It's true that she was targeted by the most troublesome person at the most troublesome time. Mei, are you safe now? That woman is not an easy opponent. Don't get entangled in the fight."

Theresa glanced at Bronya and Shen Gonglin, who were trying to negotiate with the humanoid machine. They weren't making any progress either, and now Rita had reappeared on the battlefield. There wasn't much time left, so it seemed impossible to get Kiana's information here. They would have to find a way to take the humanoid machine away first and then deal with it slowly.

"I understand. I could only hold her off for this long. Now that I've left safely, it's a bit of a challenge... but there's actually no real danger in fighting her."

After leaving Rita, Mei headed towards Theresa and the others to rejoin her team. Fighting Rita wasn't stressful at all, as Mei knew the maid wouldn't kill her; in fact, from the moment they met until they parted, Rita had maintained a great deal of respect for her. Mei Shen Gonglin; if she really attacked, Rita would definitely capture her. That maid truly valued Shen Gonglin immensely.

"That's good. The opponent was S-rank Valkyrie. It's already a good thing that you were able to get away safely. The situation on our side isn't too good either. That guy isn't cooperating at all, and there have been some inexplicable mech attacks since just now. But it's nothing serious. Mei, you should rejoin the team as soon as possible."

Explosions could be heard over the communication line, indicating that Theresa's side wasn't entirely safe either. Mei prepared to rejoin the team after receiving orders, but Bronya stopped her. With Shen Gonglin handling the combat, there was no need to worry, so Bronya had been monitoring all incoming signals. The signal coming from Mei was very abnormal, so she couldn't let her rejoin the team now.

"No, Bronya detected that Mei's Mei Valkyrie Armor is emitting two different positioning signals. One is ours, and the other is probably a tracking device that Rita planted on her during our fight. Please Mei, do not rejoin the team for now. Disrupt the route and confuse Rita."

Bronya plays a crucial role in the team. If it weren't for her discovering this problem, Mei would probably have become a traitor. Hearing Bronya's words, Mei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bronya was there. However, Rita still had the aftereffects of the fight earlier and had placed a tracker on her. It seems that if she wanted to kill her, it would be even easier for her. The power of S-rank Valkyrie is truly terrifying.

"Understood. I will delay my return to the team. Please be careful."

Having received the instructions, Mei began to deviate from the route. Rita should be following behind her now, and what she needed to do was to lead her far away from Shen Gonglin and the others.

"Your Excellency, I have already dealt with the traitors. Only Raiden Mei showed up. Lady Theresa and Bronya Zaychek have not yet revealed their whereabouts. My initial judgment is that Raiden Mei is stalling for time, and I believe you understand the purpose of stalling for time."

Following the signal from the tracker, Rita followed Mei's route, reporting the mission's progress to Otto along the way. The reason Mei was delaying was that Lady Theresa had already found the mission target. The authentication chip she left on the inside of Gray Serpent's wrist had served its purpose, and now that the fruit was ripe, it was time for her to reap the rewards.

There's no need to report this to me; I trust Rita to handle this kind of situation.

Otto wasn't concerned with Rita's plans; all he wanted was the result. He was also very confident in Rita's strength. Even if Theresa and the others joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Rita. Although they were all S-class, there were still differences in strength. Theresa wouldn't be a match for Rita. The combat power among S-class was quite clear: Durandal was undoubtedly the world's number one, and Shen Gonglin... to be honest, Otto couldn't say for sure what Shen Gonglin's true strength was, while Theresa was undoubtedly at the bottom. Such a threat was not a problem for Rita.

"Yes, I understand... I just investigated the search records left on their computers. All along, Gray Serpent has been using humans implanted with quantum computers to mine and filter network data, and then extract useful intelligence from it. The clues to the whereabouts of the Herrscher of the Void should be hidden in the head of that humanoid machine."

There's no need to elaborate on the combat aspect, but Rita felt she needed to report this information to Otto. Connecting a human brain to a quantum computer—to Rita's knowledge, even Schicksal hadn't carried out such a modification. Could an ordinary information broker really achieve this? It seems the Serpent is truly an astonishingly large organization.

[The human-machine integration modification... I didn't expect he'd progressed to the point of quantum computing in the brain. Bring that humanoid machine back to me.]

Otto's voice was slightly serious. Bishop Otto's mind and body were no longer as frivolous as before. It was truly unexpected that the lurking snake had progressed to this point. But there was no need to worry. Everything was still within his expectations.

"Yes, ma'am."

Rita nodded slightly. This was her mission after all. Otherwise, why would she have come to Sky City? If she could bring the humanoid machine back, she would be able to see Theresa. It had been a long time since she had seen Theresa, and she missed Theresa quite a bit. Although Theresa wasn't as cute as Rin-sama, Theresa was still worth teasing.

However, simply bringing back the humanoid machine wouldn't be very meaningful. To make the most of it, we need to obtain the highest level of access to use it.

"I understand, but what if the humanoid machine falls into Lady Theresa's hands and can't be brought back?"

While accepting the order, Rita raised a small question. Needless to say, Lady Theresa would definitely object, which would put her in a difficult position.

[Then destroy it. Give the enemy what they fear, and leave them nothing of what they want. Rita, you should understand this, right? Also, do it as quickly as possible. Intelligence says a large number of out-of-control mechs have appeared on the streets of Sky City. Rita, deal with this as soon as possible.]

Chapter 43 Unharmable Tools?

"Alright, Mei has lured Rita away, that should buy us some time... Bronya, still can't get her to talk... Wait a minute! Shen Gonglin, when I said 'get her to talk,' I was just using it as a figure of speech, not that you actually have to get her to talk! Bronya, what are you doing just watching? Stop Shen Gonglin!"

After ending her communication with Mei, Theresa sighed slightly. This humanoid girl was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. While she was communicating with Mei, she had handed over the task of questioning to Bronya and Rin Shen Gonglin. As a result, these two had caused trouble for her in such a short time. Shen Gonglin was really planning to pry open her mouth, literally.

"I just wanted to see how much she had been modified. It seems that only her head has been modified. The rest of her body is still human. Very good, very good. This is really great."

Releasing the android girl's mouth, Shen Gonglin nodded in satisfaction, looking at the traces of saliva on his fingers. At the same time, while Bronya wasn't paying attention, he secretly wiped his fingers on her body. Theresa, noticing Shen Gonglin's actions, twitched at the corner of her mouth. Is this the person they've been trying so hard to find? Can't they just exchange Kiana for her? Let Shen Gonglin wander outside.

"You rascal, all you do is cause trouble... Hey, kid, are you alright?"

She glared at Shen Gonglin nonchalantly turned around to play with Bronya's curly hairstyle. Shen Gonglin had always been interested in this girl's hairstyle; every time she pulled on it, it would bounce back with a bang, which was especially fun.

"Thank you, don't worry about it, I'm fine. But if I could keep this person a little further away from me, things would be better."

The android girl's drool-covered mouth looked a little... well, you know. Theresa quickly pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth, but she didn't seem to care much. Theresa had always abhorred anything that could turn a little girl into this state, such as human modification.

"I won't let that idiot do anything bad to you again... The Doctor's communication has come through, let's prepare to retreat."

Of course, Theresa and her companions didn't come to Sky City alone. The two doctors from Anti-Entropy served as backup support. Now it was time to make contact as agreed. The screen lit up, and Einstein appeared on the screen, still looking like she hadn't woken up yet. She seemed like a lazy and calm person, but only Shen Gonglin knew that this doctor was actually a female pervert.

Why did he say "also"?

[Ms. Theresa, how did the intelligence transaction go...? Hmm? Shen Gonglin, it seems to have gone very smoothly. Have you found Kiana's trail yet?]

The communication was connected, Einstein immediately saw Shen Gonglin flirting with Bronya. Her calm eyes flickered slightly. Not only was the intelligence exchange going smoothly, but they had even found the person. It was hard to imagine that things would go so smoothly. According to her sixth sense, this shouldn't be the case.

"Well, the situation is complicated. Kiana's whereabouts are still unknown. As for Shen Gonglin... it was just an accident. Fortunately, we have found someone with information. However, getting this girl to talk depends on your abilities. Consider this a scientific challenge."

Theresa sighed. Things weren't going well. He had died before even meeting Gray Serpent. The only clue left was this humanoid robot. Shen Gonglin's appearance was an accident. This directionally challenged idiot didn't remember where he and Kiana had been staying recently, let alone find Kiana. In short, a series of problems arose, and they had to find a way to get this humanoid robot girl to talk.

[You... kidnapped a child? And according to Ms. Theresa, you're planning to use torture to extract a confession?]

Somewhat incredulous, Einstein's usually calm face was filled with astonishment. She truly hadn't expected Theresa to do such a thing. As far as she knew, Theresa wasn't that kind of person. Kidnapping a child and then torturing him... Einstein couldn't possibly do that.

"Ah? No, no, no... It's not what you think! Sigh, it's hard to explain in a few words right now. Anyway, Doctor, please arrange an airship for us as soon as possible. We need to retreat."

It was obvious that Einstein had misunderstood. Theresa quickly waved her hands to clarify that she could not possibly do such a thing; it was pure slander. Now was not the time to talk about such things; she would explain properly when she got back.

[Understood, Ms. Theresa. The airship has been dispatched according to the coordinates, as promised... Also, I still prefer the old you, like how you'd stop at nothing to achieve your goals... I hope you won't become that kind of person, Ms. Theresa.]

Einstein, with a complicated expression, cut off the communication, while Theresa sighed again. She really wasn't that kind of person. It seemed she would have to explain herself properly when she got back. Not only Einstein, but Theresa herself didn't want to become that kind of person either.

"I heard your conversation. I'm sorry, Headmistress, I will not go with you."

The android girl reiterated her stance, remaining firm in her position. If they insisted on taking her away from Sky City, it would trigger another order left by her master. If possible, the android girl did not want to carry out this order, because she also wanted to live.

"We just want to get a crucial piece of information from you; we absolutely have no intention of harming you."

Not understanding the situation of the android girl, Theresa patiently explained to her that she truly meant no harm. In order to find clues about Kiana, she had to obtain the information in the android girl's mind.
