The promised third collapse, where is it?!!

Mei said seriously, "But because of him, everything that followed happened."

Kiana stuck out her tongue, "So even though he's been bothering me so much, I can't bring myself to hate him."

She unzipped her jacket and took it off.

"Overlord's Armor Removal."

A voice came from outside the door.

Kiana froze, lowered her head, and looked at her clean body.

Her fair, pretty face instantly flushed red, "You pervert A Li, who are you calling an overlord!!!"

"Pfft hahahahaha!!!"

Mei clutched her stomach and collapsed onto the bed, tears streaming down her face from laughter.

"Damn it! You bastard!"

Kiana angrily threw her shoe, she had had enough of this guy who always wanted to tease her!

She was divorcing him right now!

Meanwhile, in the corridor outside Room 201, Fu Li leaned against the door, holding his sheathed Crescent Moon.

Ignoring Kiana's roaring from inside, he turned his head, his face pressed against the cold sword hilt.

The old wooden door couldn't block Fu Li's hearing; he heard everything inside.

His expression faltered slightly. The countless dead ends he had encountered since stepping into the Honkai side had long caused him to cast aside such trivial matters he had done countless times before, and made him forget what kind of person he originally was.

So how did he become like this?

Was it the subtle influence of the environment?

The power of time?

Or did he finally recognize reality?

None of the above.

"I did try to practice the Kaslana spirit you spoke of, and I tried to be a knight, but that was all because of a promise I made with you when I was little," he murmured to himself. "Since even you have forgotten, then there's no need for me to keep my promise."

He looked up at the bright midday sky for a long time, then yawned out of boredom.

"This is taking forever."

While the Invincible Trio Squad was laughing and bickering, inside a multi-story underground building outside Senba Academy.

If someone were to enter, the first thing they would see would be a three-dimensional screen projected in mid-air.

The screen displayed real-time images of Senba Academy and its surroundings. Underneath numerous orderly and concise labels, everything was visible, from the layout of the corridors and stairwells to what each class and each person was doing.

At this moment, the scarlet alarm functions continuously popping up and the unending sharp ringing sounds under the holographic projection all indicated that the current situation of the monitored target "Raiden Mei" was far from optimistic.

That's right, she had left the monitoring range.

By now, she had already changed clothes with Kiana and was preparing to have another big meal before leaving Changkong City.

Was it an emergency?

To be honest, not really.

Raiden Mei was only a C-rank fighter. Even with Kiana, it would only take dispatching a few more Titans to handle the situation.

Laughable, have you heard of the Valkyrie fragment creator?

But this was not a question of urgency, but a question of presence or absence.

What was Anti-Entropy? It was a world overlord that dominated the vast lands of the Americas and stood in opposition to Schicksal for half a century!

Raiden Mei was an important target they were secretly monitoring, and yet she was abducted by someone who came out of nowhere?

Facing such an act of defiance, akin to provoking a tiger, they absolutely could not tolerate it and had to strike hard!

Well, theoretically, that was the case.

The reason it was only theoretical was that, as of now, the room was completely empty, clean – words like that could describe the situation.

That's right, the monitoring room, which was supposed to guard the most crucial raw material of Cocolia's 'great' plan, didn't even have a guard left.

Was this reasonable?

This was beyond reasonable.

"Quack! This old man has achieved enlightenment!"

This was because the researchers who should have been doing this work had already thrown themselves into a greater cause.

Previously, the moment an unnamed Fu Li set foot in Senba Academy, the Heavenly Time Calamity Bestowal's range encompassed the surrounding area.

An indescribable clarity attacked the brains of all the researchers inside the underground building.

It was like finding a beauty like Qiu Xiang among a crowd of ugly women, or a plate of delicious chopped chili fish head among a table of 'staring at the starry sky' dishes.

With the boost from the power of civilization's development, the long-standing, perplexing problems that had stumped everyone for years suddenly became clear, and research that had been stagnant was suddenly filled with ingenious inspiration.

Monitor Raiden Mei? Cocolia's order?

Screw that!

"Everyone! For the well-being of all humanity, this old man will lead the charge!!!"

The head of the research team, an elder nearing seventy, raised his arms high, his face contorted in a grimace.

"Ooh ooh ooh oh oh!!!"

Even among the Reformists of Anti-Entropy, known for their radicalism, there were many who opposed Cocolia's plan this time.

First, she used underhanded tactics to eliminate Raiden Ryoma, another Executor, and then she planned to use the several million people in Changkong City for a super-large-scale experiment.

Of course, that's not how it would be presented to the public.

The Third Honkai incident involved too wide a scope, and currently, only the Executor class of Anti-Entropy and Cocolia's absolute confidantes were privy to the truth.

Even to these subordinates, Cocolia's reason was merely a limited human experiment.

Yet, even so, the radical faction still felt she was too extreme.

If it weren't for this woman's high status making refusal impossible, eleven out of ten people present wouldn't have come, and the one who did come would be slacking off and holding back the golden-haired vixen.

It's important to remember that human experimentation is inherently politically incorrect within Anti-Entropy.

It was precisely under the banner of "Schicksal persecuting Valkyries through human experimentation" that Schicksal's North American branch broke away from Schicksal, established the current Anti-Entropy, and vigorously developed numerous mechanical technologies, symbolized by Titan mechs.

With thoughts flowing like a spring under such circumstances, and with veteran experts who had been in the organization for decades leading the charge, the researchers naturally became busy with great enthusiasm.

If nothing unexpected happened, with the monitoring personnel being negligent, Fu Li and the others could theoretically leave Changkong City without a sound.

Unfortunately, a cornered rabbit has three holes.

Cocolia, who had taken the seat of the leader of the Anti-Entropy Reformists, would not fail to make prior arrangements for backup plans.

The door to the monitoring room opened, and a petite, adorable girl 'walked' into the room.

Pure silver-grey hair like a galaxy was tied into two single French rolls that fell behind her, the silver sheen inside and out giving off a grayish-gold texture under the dim fluorescent light.

Her exquisite, pretty face held a calm and indifferent expression, and her petite, delicate body exuded a cold aura that warned others to keep their distance.

She walked expressionlessly to the instrument and reached out to deactivate the piercing alarm.

Then, she activated the playback function, taking in everything that had happened on the rooftop earlier.

Chapter 42: "Eat my Great Sage Kiana's Staff!"

"Here."

As soon as she stepped out of the room, the white cat, whose face was beaming with 'happiness,' handed over the neatly folded clothes.

They were folded very neatly, having been carefully tidied.

Fu Li, holding his sword, didn't even look at them. "Keep them yourself. I'm afraid the scent of beautiful girls on them might make my youthful self unable to resist doing something catastrophic to them."

Mei, standing nearby, put her hand to her forehead. She didn't know how to describe Fu Li's mouth.

Was this also part of the Sword Saint's legacy?

The girl suddenly didn't look forward to encountering it herself.

"Then I'll put them in my Fourth-Dimensional Skirt."

Kiana felt that this person was talking nonsense. If he really had such thoughts, would he say such a thing?

After carefully observing Fu Li for a few moments, the girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed sharply. "Are you in a bad mood?"

"Yeah, yeah. I thought I'd get to see some beautiful girls changing clothes, but I was directly shut out by the person involved." Fu Li sighed to the heavens. "Is this the treatment of a simp? Not only did I treat them to meals for free, but I didn't even get a fan service scene."

"Didn't someone claim their gender was an Attack Helicopter?"

"You're rejecting even an Attack Helicopter!"

"Who told him to run around taking pictures with two 4K Cameras?"

Kiana tossed Fu Li a pair of charmingly flirtatious "toilet balls" and then took his and Mei's hands.

"Alright, alright, don't be sulky. Let's go, I'm starving!"

With a yellow dog on the left and a Cang on the right, she pulled them downstairs, greeting many familiar tenants along the way.

These people, in turn, looked at Fu Li, who was holding Kiana's hand, with looks of shock, thinking, Damn, did this kid actually win over a beauty?

If I had known it was this easy to get her, I would have tried too!

What to eat for lunch has always been one of life's three great philosophical questions, alongside what to eat for breakfast and what to eat for dinner.

Kiana didn't have this problem. As a little glutton with a keen sense of smell, she pulled Fu Li and Mei and was the first to arrive at the largest snack street nearby.

"I came! I saw! I conquered!"

The white-haired girl, standing at the entrance of the street, spread her arms as if this was the entire world.

She said eagerly, "Let the three of us eat our fill! We need to be full before we set off!"

"Then the first thing we should do is eat Pork Cutlet Rice," Fu Li suggested kindly.

"Okay, okay!" Kiana clapped her hands in delight.

"Wait! Isn't Pork Cutlet Rice what death row inmates eat?"

"You mean like a 'good send-off,' huh? Hey, let go, let go!"

The trio of high school students was quite a sight on this street. The secondary reason was that two of them were super beautiful girls of national treasure status. The primary reason was that the white-haired one was currently gnawing ferociously on the black-haired boy's head.

The noisy atmosphere caused many people to subconsciously move away. Coupled with a crowd gathered in the distance, doing something unknown, the sparse flow of people quickly became clearly divided.

Kiana, with her legs wrapped around Fu Li's waist and biting his head, stole a glance over there. She swayed and asked strangely, "What are those people gathered around for? It's midday, and they're not eating. Aren't they hungry?"

"You really do have food on your mind all the time."

Mei took out a tissue and carefully wiped the drool from Fu Li's forehead.

Tossing the crumpled tissue into the trash can, she asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Kiana, you seem to know the terrain around here quite well?"

"I have to keep an eye on someone who came across the ocean from Shenzhou!" the white-haired furball said sarcastically about Fu Li: "That guy is always meddling in other people's business. If I don't get a handle on the intel around here, and something really happens, how will I find him?"

"Well, thank you then."

This time, it was Fu Li's turn to feel awkward.

Who would have thought that this little glutton's reason for knowing the surrounding area so well was so she could fish him, the troublemaker, out of trouble at a crucial moment?

"Thanks? No need."

The white-haired girl hanging on him waved her hand indifferently: "When I travel, I always get familiar with my surroundings first. Helping you is just something I do on the side."

Kiana, who had been wandering alone for four years, considered it standard operating procedure.

This made Fu Li even more awkward.

He had gotten ahead of himself.
