Vermilion Knight Goes Live! (4K)
Himeko shivered.
It wasn't because he was scared, but because Little Knowledge deliberately blew a breath of cold air into his ear at the end.
Himeko pushed Little Knowledge's pretty face away in annoyance.
At the same time, she kept reminding herself that she was straight.
Himeko was afraid that if she taught at the St. Freya Academy for a few more years, she might actually be turned gay. Before joining the school, she was a staunch heterosexual and her dream was to marry a handsome man.
"If you kill Hua, you can't kill Himeko too!" Pardo had a bad feeling. If her guess was right, according to the plot's foreshadowing, she might have to kill...
"For Yaqing, it's a piece of cake." Su recalled the plan for the movie Otto and guessed most of the plot.
Outside the movie theater, at a bubble tea shop, after finishing a cup of bubble tea, Yaqing and Mobius got up to leave.
"Grandpa, I want to tell you..."
Theresa was still squatting on the ground, complaining to Otto.
Yaqing bent down and poked Theresa.
"Leave me alone." Theresa slapped Yaqing's hand away impatiently.
Otto on the other end of the phone said helplessly, "Alright, my dear little Theresa, you should enjoy the movie now instead of chatting with your grandfather."
"Okay, Grandpa!" After reluctantly hanging up the phone, Theresa handed the phone to Yaqing, gave a soft snort, and turned to leave.
No one knew what Otto had said to her, but she didn't seem as angry as before. At least, she didn't make Yaqing feel like she was about to pounce on her and bite her.
"Let's go."
Back in the screening room, the movie was still playing.
"Mobius, why are you taking so long in the bathroom?"
"Snort."
Fu Hua has changed to her look from the first movie when she fought Sirin, with white hair mixed with red dye and a red and white short cheongsam.
Himeko was not surprised, but rather very wary.
Fu Hua, like a robot, explained the effects and consequences of the serum in her hand to Himeko, informing her that the Herrscher had awakened and pointing her to a safe path.
"I don't need to know that. Tell me, where Theresa and the others are!"
Fu Hua was silent for a moment, then told Himeko to continue after reaching the safe place they had just mentioned, and that she would be waiting for them in the laboratory at the other end.
"Hey, don't go—"
There was no response; there was no movement on the other side of the door.
Himeko propped herself up and was surprised to find that the iron gate was open. She walked in the direction Fu Hua had indicated, taking care of a few Honkai Beasts had invaded the laboratory along the way.
At the elevator entrance, Himeko encountered Tesla, who was bound and gagged.
Himeko quickly stepped forward and removed the delicate black handkerchief from Tesla's mouth.
"That maid! I don't want to see her again!"
"What did she do to you?" Himeko asked worriedly.
"How dare she humiliate me!"
North America, Anti-Entropy Headquarters.
Upon hearing this line, Einstein had just taken a sip of coffee, almost spat it out, but thankfully she managed to hold it in.
Joyce couldn't hold back any longer and blurted it out.
He wasn't involved in scriptwriting or voice acting, so he wasn't prepared at all.
"What kind of lines are those?" Joyce wiped her mouth.
"Hehe, as expected, Dr. Tesla is a natural comedian."
"Luckily Tesla isn't here, otherwise I'd be dealing with you again..." Joyce laughed.
"The binding technique is nothing short of an art form; I really want to know how she did it," Einstein smiled.
Joyce was startled. "Hey, Ai-yin, don't tell me you've awakened some unusual fetish!"
"Just kidding," Einstein said, covering his mouth with a laugh.
"That's good." Joyce breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 110 The Vermilion Knight: Eclipse Arrives! (4K)
Tesla, bound and trembling with rage, recounts to Himeko how Rita "humiliated" her.
Himeko suppressed a laugh, untied Tesla, and briefly recounted Fu Hua had just told her about the laboratory.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to go to the laboratory to see if they could find a way to contact Hyperion.
After a hard-fought battle, the two finally reached their destination.
Due to the prolonged battle, Himeko's physical functions were severely compromised, and she was panting heavily.
This laboratory is more like a factory than a laboratory.
Once inside, Tesla immediately began studying the laboratory's main control system, allowing Himeko to take a short break.
One second I was laughing out loud at Tesla's appearance, the next I was worried about Himeko, who was covered in wounds but still had to keep fighting.
"Himeko..."
"Himeko's experiences are truly remarkable; she's been Valkyrie for ten years now." Kiana exclaimed in surprise as she watched Himeko on the screen recounting the enemies she had vanquished.
Dead Soldiers, special forces, experimental subjects, Emperor-class Honkai Beast...
"And the price of the battle is that Himeko's body is probably already riddled with holes," Bronya said.
[Himeko was resting, suddenly heard a familiar voice.]
"Covered in wounds."
Himeko said, "Hehe, the final appearance has appeared..."
Himeko and Fu Hua exchanged words.
Fu Hua told Himeko to continue down to the next level, but then she noticed the symbols on the instrument and changed her mind. This level was also important to Himeko and the others.
"Let's explore this thoroughly; we must find it."
"Hello!"
Tesla's shouts distracted Himeko, and when she turned around, Fu Hua had already disappeared.
Tesla, looking excited, called Himeko over; she had discovered something incredible.
Tesla discovered a series of system records.
It is considered extraordinary because it is Otto's personal record. Otto used Cecilia's blood as a base and added a serum designed by Dr. Maki to create the "Herrscher Killer" that can eliminate Honkai energy.
Otto called it the God-Slaying Spear of mankind.
"Everything is ready. K423 has enrolled in the St. Freya Academy as planned, and the informants have been arranged."
"So now—it's time to wait for the harvest."
"The God-Slaying Spear... As expected, Otto had a backup plan, but that's no excuse for him killing Hua!" Sakura said indignantly.
"Hua... is she really dead?" Based on Su's understanding of Yaqing and his speculation about the future plot, he didn't think Fu Hua would have such a simple ending.
First of all, there are too many opportunities to plot against Fu Hua, Yaqing will definitely not give up easily.
Secondly, the only confirmed living Previous Era will definitely need to take on the responsibility of guiding the progression of the Previous Era storyline.
"Dr. Maki?" Shigure Kira felt the name sounded familiar, but she just couldn't remember who it was.
"It's normal that you don't know him," Yaqing said. "Dr. Maki was the one who defined the research direction for all researchers at Schicksal, and also the first director of the Schicksal Research Institute."
"Then why..."
"Dr. Maki resigned twenty years ago and is now retired in Singapore. He was my father's teacher, and I often visit him. He is still in good spirits."
After reviewing the experimental data, Tesla hesitated, looking at Himeko as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed his words.
"Can you make... the God-Slaying Spear..." Himeko took out the bottle of HSN-b46 serum.
"You... you'd better not have too high hopes." Tesla looked at Himeko, remaining silent for a long time.
The alarm sounded at an inopportune moment, and Himeko shoved the vial of serum into Tesla's hand before turning her back to him.
Tesla watched Himeko's retreating figure, ultimately not uttering those words. But she also knew that even if she did, it wouldn't change anything.
"I'll do it! I'll show you!"
"That vial of serum isn't that simple. I'm afraid the squad leader deliberately left behind medicine that could treat Himeko. Now that she's handing over the serum, it's like giving away her own life-saving medicine." Vill-V shook his head.
"A respectable but not advocatable act." Su hates people who give up their lives, but she deeply respects Himeko's decision to save her students instead of saving herself.
"It is because of people like them that the light of humanity shines even brighter." Sakura rubbed Ling's head. If one day, Ling and her life were to become a choice, she would not hesitate to give up her own life.
"Please, don't think like that." Aponia's words startled Sakura.
"Hmph, not a bad woman," Kalpas said, offering his highest praise.
Ling looked at the three people talking animatedly, feeling a bit out of place, but not knowing what to say, she could only repeat, "Big sister is right!"
After defeating the attacking Honkai Beasts, Himeko couldn't help but wonder about the lowest level that Fu Hua had mentioned.
After Tesla tossed Himeko spare parts for the Valkyrie armor, he suggested they split up.
Although Himeko was worried about Tesla's safety up there alone, she still headed down to the lower level at Tesla's insistence.
Tesla deliberately sent Himeko away so that no one else would be present during the upcoming experiment. She picked up a syringe filled with purple liquid with her gloved hand.
Tesla is preparing to use his own body as a test subject to complete the final experiment.
Although the process was somewhat dangerous, the result was successful; she did not become Dead Soldiers and remained human.
Tesla collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but his face betrayed his excitement as he excitedly waved his intact right hand.
"See that? A messy head! I'm a genius!"
"That's exactly what Tesla would do." Einstein had no doubt that, in that situation, Tesla would make the same choice as Tesla in the movie.
"The outcome was good," Joyce said.
"That scared me to death! I really thought Dr. Tesla was going to become Dead Soldiers." Kiana patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike Honkai Impact 3rd, Yaqing adopted a realistic style, specifically modeling the Dead Soldiers -like arms. It looked extremely lifelike, enough to scare children. He even included Tesla's fantasy elements.
"As expected of Dr. Tesla, even under the pressure of death, he could still think of Anti-Entropy's famous HOMU series." Bronya expressed her surprise, thinking that in that situation, shouldn't he be thinking of friends and family?
"That scared us to death!" Pardo trembled with fear; those scenes were like something out of a horror movie. "Honestly, Yaqing, aren't you afraid of frightening children by creating these scenes!"
Like a true child, Griseo watched the screen with great interest, not even blinking.
Ling, a true child, ate Sirin's potato chips and drank Sirin's cola, seemingly unfazed by the scenes in the movie.
The fake 23-year-old adult Kitty, Pardo, was so scared that she trembled.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the laboratory.
Himeko followed the descending stairs and finally reached the end, where it resembled a solemn Tang Dynasty palace, with five armored compartments on each side, some empty and others storing armor.
They are: Prison Knight - Moon Ash, White Knight - Moonlight, Argent Knight - Argent Knight: Artemis, Shadow Knight - Moon Wheel, War Knight - Moon Rabbit, Blood Knight - Moon Radiance, Night Knight - Moon Skeleton, and Extreme Knight - Moon Sky.
Meanwhile, data on the remaining two armored compartments was completely blocked.
"So the Valkyrie armor that Aunt wore was called Blood Knight: Moonbeam, what a cool name!" Kiana stared at the Valkyrie armor on the screen with shining eyes, muttering, "I want one too."
"Each armor represents a Valkyrie. Could the armored compartments with the data sealed mean that the Valkyrie have already sacrificed themselves?" Bronya guessed.
"Bronya, do you mean the empty armored compartment contains Mom's Valkyrie armor?" Kiana asked excitedly.
