Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

------

"Doctor, do you look nervous?"

Otto and a white-haired doctor stood in front of the isolation glass. Now they are conducting the implantation experiment of the gem of tranquility. This time is different from the past. The doctor, who was not nervous about any experiment before, now puts his hands on the On a piece of glass, sweating profusely watching the situation inside the laboratory.

Inside the laboratory, in the experimental cabin filled with solutions, a girl who is about seventeen or eighteen years old is staying in it. She is wearing a special lab coat. For the first time, there are two staff members standing in the experimental cabin forward.

"I remember that in your experiment a month ago, five Valkyries who participated in the experiment died because of the failure of the experiment. At that time, doctor, you didn't even shed a drop of sweat, and you desperately asked me to provide you with new experimental subjects. Woolen cloth."

As he said that, Otto looked at the Valkyrie who participated in the experiment, and then he had an expression of enlightenment on his face.

"I remembered, the experimental subject this time is your granddaughter, right? No wonder you are so nervous."

With a nonchalant smile on his face, Otto began to slowly tell the information about the doctor's granddaughter.

"A-rank Valkyrie: Lin."

"I have to say that she is really a responsible Valkyrie. I just inadvertently said that the power of liberating gems can resist Honkai. After protecting all human beings, she voluntarily asked to participate in this experiment... .”

"Enough! Stop talking!"

The doctor who was watching the interior of the laboratory without saying a word, after hearing Otto's contemptuous words, he still couldn't restrain his emotions after all, and roared hysterically at Otto who was standing aside.

"Okay, okay, since you don't want to hear it, I won't say it, but it's getting late, and it's time for the experiment to start."

Not angry at the doctor's yelling, Otto just shrugged helplessly, and announced the start of the experiment in an expectant tone.

After receiving the instruction, the staff operated the mechanical arm to place an irregular purple crystal on the exposed skin of the girl's chest.

The instant the purple crystals came into contact with the skin, they emitted a deep blue light. This scene fell into Otto's eyes, and his face was immediately covered in ecstasy.

"The Tranquil Gem, it's starting to merge!"

The fusion degree is 5.3%, the fusion degree is 7.2%, and the fusion degree is 10.4%. Listening to the data reported by the staff, the smile on Otto's face becomes brighter. Judging from the current data, the girl in front of him has a lot of potential. There is a high probability that it will completely adapt to this quiet gem, if it succeeds...

(I can then use the power of the Herrscher of Death to reunite with Kallen!)

The ability of the Sixth Herrscher is to create and wither. If this experiment is successful, then I can use its power to reverse life and death to realize my wish to reunite with Karen.

(But who is she anyway?)

Recalling the woman who appeared in the virtual space before, if he really used the power of the Herrscher of Death to revive Kallen, then what would be her real identity with Kallen's memory?

At this moment, a warning sound of fusion error suddenly came from the laboratory, and this sound also interrupted Otto's thinking.

(The result...is it still not working...)

Seeing the girl who was engulfed by the black mist and crying out in pain, Otto could only sigh in disappointment. He originally thought that the girl would be qualified to be the carrier of the Tranquility Gem, but he was somewhat disappointed in the end.

"The experimental subject is dead, hurry up and find someone to clean up the laboratory, and then immediately find a new experimental subject to conduct experiments on."

After using the communicator on his hand to give instructions, Otto left the laboratory without looking back. In the huge laboratory, the doctor who had lost his granddaughter was kneeling on the ground powerlessly, with his head bowed, making people helpless. See his expression clearly.

"Almost forgot..."

After leaving the laboratory, Otto suddenly thought of something, and then he used the communicator on his hand to issue an order again.

"Remember to collect the body of the Valkyrie and bury it in the Valkyrie Cemetery of Destiny."

"Her name is Lin, and she is an A-rank Valkyrie."

Chapter 8 Where wisdom gathers

"No, I can't take this class!"

In the classroom that should have been overcrowded, there were less than ten people sitting in it. Facing the empty classroom in front of him, even Walter, who was the best-tempered, couldn't help being a little annoyed now.

Walter stood on the podium and looked at the students present. He reached out and took off his glasses. His brown eyes were full of helplessness. He really couldn't think of what kind of mood he should use to face these students present.

"You guys should just study by yourself today, and I will come back to class when everyone is here."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Walter!"

"Needless to mention Fu Hua, I won't come back to class until everyone is here!"

Ignoring Fu Hua's persuasion, after Walter answered resolutely, he walked off the podium and left the classroom with only a few people.

"Ugh..."

Fu Hua looked at Walter's leaving back and sighed deeply. This was the first time she saw Walter get so angry, but any teacher would not be surprised to see the current scene in the classroom. It would be much better than Walter.

There are only a few people sitting in the classroom of Nuo University, and the large empty seats irritate people's eyes. The scene in front of them can't be connected with the classroom at all.

"Squad leader, do you know why these students asked for leave?"

After Walter left the classroom, Fu Hua just sat blankly in his seat, looking at Fu Hua who was staring at the blackboard with absent-minded eyes, Luo Chen asked a question with some concern.

Naturally, he has seen what happened in the classroom these days. Every day, there will be so few people in the classroom. The number of people has been reduced from the original dozen to a few people. There would be some reason, so he was going to ask Fu Hua, maybe he could get some useful information from Fu Hua.

After hearing Luo Chen's question, Fu Hua also came back to his senses, lowered his head and silently recalled for a while, and then spoke to Luo Chen in her tone that hadn't changed for thousands of years.

"Without exception, their leave notes all said that they were unwell, but the strange thing is that when I went to their dormitory to find out the situation, I found that none of the students who asked for leave due to physical illness did not stay in the dormitory properly. , I only found out after asking their roommates that these students who asked for leave would stay in the library every day and would not come back until evening.”

This is also what makes Fu Hua feel the strangest, she has no way of understanding why these students go to the library every day, and these students have not done anything against the order of the school, she has no way to intervene stop them.

As we all know, most of the books in the library of St. Freya Academy contain information about the history of Houkai, and the rest are all books on knowledge. Normal people will not be interested in these books at all, even if She is so eager to learn that she can't stay inside for a whole day, so how can these students who ask for leave manage to stay inside for a whole day?

"Wait, are you saying that these students on leave spend the whole day in the library facing each other?"

"Yes, did you think of something?"

After confirming that he heard correctly, Luo Chen lowered his head and began to think, he didn't even answer Fu Hua's questioning.

(Are those students taking time off because they want to go to the library... wait a minute, library?)

After thinking of the three words "library", Luo Chen suddenly became enlightened. A library is a place for storing books, and books are a container for storing wisdom. In other words, isn't the library the place where wisdom gathers? ?

Now that we know where the wisdom gathers, the next thing is much easier. Judging from the hints given by the mission, these students who asked for leave must have been affected by the so-called 'memory' item .

"Fu Hua, I need to leave now. If Teacher Pu Lan asks, you can tell her that I'm going to find Teresa."

After hastily explaining something to Fu Hua, Luo Chen immediately rushed out of the classroom where only a few people were. It has been three days since he received this task, maybe it has been...

(Hopefully in time...)

Running wildly on the way to Teresa's office, Luo Chen prayed silently in his heart. Judging from the rewards of the previous missions, this mission should be quite difficult. Maybe the St. Freya Academy will be closed because of the current This thing in the library may not necessarily be destroyed.

The task that can be rewarded with the God's Key will definitely not be so simple.

--------

"boom!"

"ah!"

The door of the office hit the wall and made a loud noise, and Teresa, who was reading comics on the office chair the most, was frightened by the loud noise and jumped up from the chair and let out an exclamation, just as she was about to explain She didn't realize it when she was not being lazy, she realized that the one who opened the door was not the familiar figure from the past.

Just when Teresa was about to complain, she saw the anxious expression on Luo Chen's face. The original complaint turned into worry and inquiry after reaching her lips.

Unknowingly, Teresa's attitude towards Luo Chen has surpassed the relationship between friends, but neither of them noticed each other.

"What happened, you look very nervous now."

Seeing the serious expression on Luo Chen's face, Teresa also put the comic book into the drawer. Although Teresa usually looks silly, it doesn't mean that she is a fool. The seriousness of the matter was roughly guessed from the expression on his face.

"Hu... hu... hu..."

Luo Chen put his hands on the door and took a few heavy breaths. After calming down the impact of the violent running, he said with a serious expression and a little anxiety in his tone.

"Theresa, you should have learned from the teacher that many students asked for leave without reason, right?"

"Yes..."

Teresa nodded and replied, just now she received the news about the students asking for leave without reason, and now Luo Chen mentioned it again in front of her, so she naturally had the impression.

"I probably already know the cause of this incident."

"What did you say!"

Hearing this, Teresa couldn't help raising her voice. Originally, in her opinion, these students asking for leave was just a trivial matter, but now someone told her that there was something else hidden about this matter. How could this make her feel uncomfortable? Surprised?

"Then what is the reason?"

"After these students ask for leave, they will stay in the library all day, so the culprit who caused this incident must also be in the library."

"Then let's go!"

After getting the information she wanted, Teresa stood up from the office chair without the slightest hesitation, walked towards the door, and then she was picked up by Luo Chen who was standing by the door.

"what happened?"

Staring straight at Luo Chen with her own eyes, she doesn't quite understand Luo Chen's actions now, she already knows the cause of the problem, and the most urgent thing to do is to ask 2 to find a way to solve this problem, so why does he want to stop him now? What about yourself?

"Theresa, it's not that I don't want you to go..."

As if seeing the confusion on Teresa's face, Luo Chen explained to her the reason why he wanted to stop her, but Luo Chen's tone was still extremely serious.

"Take Judas, maybe this time, what we are facing should be very scary."

"I see."

Without asking too many questions, Teresa turned around and carried Judas who was in the office on her back. This may be the unique trust between the two of them.

--------

"We have arrived."

After traveling for a while, Teresa and Luo Chen finally arrived at the gate of St. Freya's library.

The door that was supposed to be closed is now slightly opened, and the half-hidden door swayed gently under the breeze, and made a "squeak—" friction sound, matching the quiet environment around the library, which was originally The usual voice, but now it has a little weird feeling.

"Are we...really going in?"

Teresa, who was originally afraid of ghosts, couldn't help but have the idea of ​​retreating when she saw the eerie scene in front of her. At the same time, she stretched out her hands and grabbed Luo Chen's hand forcefully.

"Don't worry Teresa, I will always be by your side."

Feeling Teresa's trembling hands, Luo Chen could only bend down and comfort her softly in her ear.

Luo Chen clearly knew that Teresa was very afraid of ghosts, but to his surprise, he had no idea that Teresa was so afraid of ghosts.

(Don't be afraid of Teresa, you are St. Freya's headmaster, and there is someone by your side, isn't it...)

After silently encouraging herself in her heart, Teresa felt the warmth from her hand, and when she looked at the door of the library again, the timidity in her heart had decreased a lot.

"Then Teresa, we're going in."
