The Crucifixion Cross

"Where is... is this? How could I—uh!"

Wraith perfectly played the role of an "ordinary person who wakes up after losing his mind", and even the subconsciously raised volume due to surprise was perfectly controlled to make K-423 and Mei alert but never be caught by outsiders The range discovered by the dead soldiers and the Houkai beast.

The white-haired and blue-eyed kidnapper lady, K-423—no, let’s call her ‘Qiana’ here——Qiana just heard K-423’s voice, and quickly covered her with one hand mouth, the other hand raised a finger to his lips, lowered his voice and said: "Shhh-don't talk, you saw it just now, there are many...a lot of difficult guys outside! So be quiet for now Can you come down? I'll explain to you later."

Wraith's acting skills are as good as ever, whether it is an elite OL or an embroidered pillow, she can perfectly play it, but if it is not really impossible, who would be willing to be a fool?

Compared with the kind of waste that would only hinder the team, Wraith felt that the identity of a "calm and calm ordinary person" was more suitable for herself, so she did not continue to resist—of course, with Wraith's strength that is almost the same as that of ordinary people, even if She really wanted to break free from Kiyana's restraint, and she had to be able to do that...

Nodding obediently, Wraith blinked a pair of big bright eyes, looking innocent and harmless.

Seeing this, Kiyana also breathed a sigh of relief, and cautiously let go of her palm a little bit. After making sure that Wraith didn't intend to continue yelling, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and slowly stepped back.

As the distance between them gradually widened, the beautiful curves extruded by the fullness of their chests gradually disappeared, and Wraith's vision gradually widened—it was only then that Wraith discovered why Qiyana kept They all use only one hand, because her other hand is not empty, but holds a pistol with a very sci-fi style.

Wraith recognized the real body of the pistol at a glance - the guardian of the moon god!

This is one of the Houkai energy weapons produced by Destiny after carefully studying the corpse of the Second Herrscher. Compared with conventional gunpowder weapons, the Guardian of the Moon God not only has the ability to supply bullets with pure energy, but also can use the second Two Herrscher's space manipulation ability is short-lived. With the special floating bomb, it can form a small-scale short-term hysteresis space around the hit enemy. It is a very strong diversionary weapon.

Wraith is not surprised that Kiyana will have this gun, because the protection of the moon god should actually be translated as "Guardian Kiyana"-yes, that's right, this is Siegfried Kaslana and Cy Celia Shaniat gave her daughter Kiyana Kaslana a gift, as for why it and the name Kiyana Kaslana finally belonged to K-423... Just ask some scumbag father who is fighting his own daughter.

Ahem, let’s get down to business——

Not only is Kiyana holding a gun in her left hand, ammunition and grenades at her waist, and she is dressed like an armed high school student, but behind her, there is also a samurai sword and ribs that are definitely not decorations hanging from the waist of Mei. The cold light of metal can also be seen on the left side of the waist, which is basically the muzzle of the pistol...

Seeing the two people's attire, combined with the basic composition of this fortress and the suffocating 'humanity', Wraith, who thinks that although his IQ is not high, is definitely not too low, instantly puts the previous I made a rough guess about the plot, and the eyes of several high school students who vaguely saw mixed with fear and doubt made Wraith firm up his judgment.

Now that she has already guessed the beginning and end of the story (there is no connection), Wraith will naturally not pay attention to the recounting of Kiana and Mei. She carefully looks at this strange bookstore under the cover of blank and confused eyes. .

However, what first attracted her attention was not the practicality of the fortress, but a small recess on the bookshelf.

For bookshelves used as 'barriers' and 'obstacles', this small depression is really conspicuous and conspicuous, and when Wraith's eyes focused on it, he seemed familiar like a rabbit monster A strange yellow creature came into her sight.

This is... what is the purpose of that name?

Wraith was startled, and then smiled inwardly, secretly thinking that after being cheated so many times, the old lady can finally taste the taste of killing two birds with one stone. The feeling of completing two tasks at the same time is really indescribable...

Wraith was happily thinking that she would be able to go back to work soon, but before she could make up her mind about where to go with her darling on her next vacation, a pale finger suddenly broke into her field of vision.

The slender fingertips were as pale and transparent as ice crystals, and with a bit of coldness from the cold snow field, they lightly landed on the spine of the comic book.

Wraith frowned, subconsciously looking up.

As the camera zoomed out, an indifferent and delicate face appeared in Wraith's field of vision—it was a Nordic girl whose age was no more than 14 years old.

She is as exquisite and delicate as a work of art, every detail is perfect and impeccable, but it is full of an atmosphere that is not human, making it hard to imagine that she is a living person rather than a robot or a doll. , but if you observe carefully, it seems that you can find some joyful emotions hidden in those calm eyes without a trace of waves.

If it weren't for the yellow rabbit doll in her arms that was exactly the same as the character in the comics, it would be so strange. At this time, the scene in Wraith's eyes was really, really perfect, so perfect that even if someone said that this girl was a 'book The goblin of the museum', probably many people will believe it without hesitation, right?

Probably sensing Wraith's slightly disrespectful gaze, the delicate girl also turned her gaze away.

At the moment when the eyes met, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wraith seemed to see a familiar scarlet in those calm and indifferent eyes...

In the next moment, the girl with the off-white double-helix supercharger... No, it was the girl with the off-white double-helix ponytail retracting her fingertips that were dragging the spine of the book, and most of the comics that had left the bookshelf were soon attracted by gravity. Captured, falling slowly and unstoppably.

Wraith's pupils shrank slightly, subconsciously aware of the dangerous aura, and after that, the words uttered from the double helix... no, it was from the double helix ponytail undoubtedly confirmed her deduction:

"Target Confirmation—Former A-level Intelligence Valkyrie, Code Name: Wraith; Color Identification Signal: Red; Danger Level: C-; Capture Confirmation: No; First Priority Order: Kill on the spot."

The sensational words were slowly uttered by the girl in an indifferent tone, making people's hairs stand on end, especially Wraith, who was staring at the pair of eyes that were slowly soaked into scarlet from the depths, was even more slapped A thrill.

She groaned inwardly, and pushed away Kiyana and Mei, who hadn't recovered from the girl's incomprehensible words, and got out from beside them.

Almost the second after Wraith jumped out suddenly, there was a heavy condensation in the air——

In the next moment, the mechanical wrist covered with crimson armor came through the quantum tunnel, and together with the "Sister Bronya..." that was so soft that it was almost impossible to determine whether it was reality or fiction, it carried an unparalleled colossus The huge force hit the position where Wraith was just now.

Amidst the deafening roar, the terrifying shock wave generated by the powerful wrist piercing the air directly destroyed most of this 'fortress', and the miserable appearance seemed to have been severely ravaged by some unstoppable force.

Everything became embarrassing and messy, only the figure of the girl remained indifferent.

At this moment, whether it was Kiana, Mei or Wraith, a huge question mark emerged in the hearts of everyone who reacted: What happened?

Chapter 37. The first confrontation of the Yusanjia

Qiyana was probably the most confused of all the people present.

Just as Wraith speculated, after the sudden huge collapse in Canghai City, as the most 'unordinary' of all 'ordinary people', she quickly came to her senses, and the same 'unordinary' Together with Mei, she began to organize the students to escape from the closed place in an orderly manner—of course, that’s what I said, but it was Mei who really took on the role of organizer, and Kiana herself was at best a thug and bodyguard.

But this can't be helped, who makes Qiyana not good at this kind of thing, and Mei, who is the future president of ME Club, happens to be very charismatic?

Under the leadership of the two, the students who were still in a state of panic due to the explosion quickly regained their composure, and escaped from the classroom that was on the verge of collapse from the road forcibly opened by Kiana and Mei with violence. building.

The thrills along the way are hard to describe in words. In addition to the smoke and dust that obscured the vision and the ruins of the campus destroyed by the shock wave generated by the explosion, the ubiquitous dead soldiers and Houkai beasts left a deep impression on the hearts of ordinary students. Heart shadow.

This situation is actually very strange, because not just anyone can be eroded into a dead man, most people who are infected with the Honkai energy will die on the spot because they cannot bear the huge power, and it is actually possible to be eroded into a dead man. The change of direction shows that the qualifications of these girls are actually not bad. If they are trained, they may even hope to become official Valkyries.

Qiyana has noticed this keenly, but the number of enemies is too many, and even some students in this class have died or degenerated into dead soldiers because they couldn't bear the erosion of Houkai, so she hardly has the leisure to go Thinking about these problems that are actually quite problematic, I just went out with Mei and my classmates.

What happened next was similar to what Wraith guessed. There should be a lot of doubts about fear, but living people are obviously more likable than those flat characters in doomsday animations, although subconsciously amazed and afraid of the two strength, but after all, they are still not brain-dead enough to actively doubt Mei and Kiyana in this situation, and the two girls are far more sober than those glass-hearted protagonists. They know exactly what they should do now. do what.

The two of them worked hard for a long time before leading a group of ordinary classmates to fight a bloody road and escape to this large bookstore at the school gate. Using the generous bookshelves as cover, they managed to barely gain a chance to breathe.

After that, they also picked up many seniors who escaped by chance one after another (you understand the reason why there are no seniors)—including the one who was killed suddenly just now. Twin Helix Maiden.

Just like the students who entered the "safe house" one after another, this girl who called herself "Bronya Zajcek" was also received by Mei from the outside. The difference is that compared with the others, Blow Niya is not only exquisite and beautiful like a doll, but her attitude is also calm or indifferent to the point that it can almost be called 'abnormal'.

Whether it is a dead man or a Honkai beast, these existences that are absolutely 'outside common sense' to normal people seem to be unable to shake Bronya's mind at all. Some feelings, even when Mei rescued her from the gun of a huge heavy cavalry Honkai beast, she maintained a calm to indifferent expression...

It wasn't until after entering the safe room that a certain comic book on display in the light gray eyes became a little turbulent...

What happened next was Bronya's heavy punches from heaven.

The light gray eyes were smudged by the scarlet luster, and the mechanical giant with an evil smile held a crimson armor shield and slammed it down with unstoppable colossal force——

Fortunately, Wraith dodged in time, otherwise she would definitely be scattered in every corner of the bookstore at this time, and the two girls who were pushed away by Wraith also adjusted their posture in an instant, tacitly avoiding the mechanical wrist smash The shock wave set off by the ground.

"Bronya?!"

Mei blocked her hands in front of her body, trying to avoid the bad situation where her vision was covered by smoke, dust and gravel. Kiyana's actions were more decisive. After landing, she raised her gun at Bronya without saying a word——

"Kiana?! What are you going to do?"

"Conquer her!"

Kiyana simply replied.

She is not the kind of resourceful character who is good at figuring out other people's intentions and ideas. Rather than wasting time on things that won't work in a short time, she prefers to use decisive actions to nip possible troubles in the bud — as it is now.

No matter why Bronya did this, since she was the first to show hostility and destroyed the 'safe house' that everyone worked so hard to build, Kiyana certainly would not sit idly by.

Who is she, and why did she suddenly kill that woman? Qiyana will definitely ask, but that is after subduing Bronya and ensuring that everyone can get out safely.

As for now...

It's better to knock out this bad girl who used her power indiscriminately first!

The Guardian of the Moon God presented to her by Siegfried soon entered the charging stage, and the power of space belonging to the Second Herrscher was being continuously injected into the bullets from the energy crystal at the end of the gun body.

But in the blink of an eye, the charging of the guardianship of the moon god came to an end, and Qiyana held the pistol in both hands that shone with a crystal blue luster due to the completion of charging, and took a deep breath.

She motioned with her eyes to Mei, who was obviously still hesitant, and then quickly moved away. Before Mei could respond, she lowered her body, and rushed out of the ruins where she was hiding like a cheetah.

Neither Mei nor Kiyana is the kind of lady who has never seen blood, the difference is that she has seen more or less.

Kiyana, who fought all the way out of the ice field, would not be afraid of fighting, and Mei, who had practiced Beichen Yidao style since childhood, would not be afraid of using real swords—if this was not the case, the two of them would not be able to lead their classmates to fight out. It's under siege.

However, aiming the blade at humans...

Mei was a little hesitant, but seeing Kiana's unwavering movements, she finally gritted her teeth and clenched the samurai sword in her hand - Seshu Muramasa.

Bronya, who was still looking for Wraith in the newly created ruins, reacted quickly, and immediately noticed Qiyana rushing out of the shadows.

Those eyes that were smudged with scarlet were already shockingly indifferent, like a robot's main monitor coldly aimed at the running Qiyana.

The moment their eyes met, the mechanical giant floating behind her suddenly turned his head, and a cold and stern brilliance burst out from those inorganic eyes.

The huge right wrist casually threw aside the remains of a fresh dead man, and immediately the palm of his hand lit up with azure blue light.

The silver-white long spear came through the quantum tunnel, held in the hand of the half-length mechanical giant, and stabbed towards Qiyana without hesitation.

The power of machinery is far more terrifying than that of manpower. Forged with the precious knowledge hidden in the highest technological crystallization of the last era—the stigmata, this iron giant possesses terrifying power far beyond common sense.

Under the blessing of its incomparable strange power, the cold spearhead tore the air into pieces, and it seemed that a few sharp screams could be heard vaguely.

Facing this terrifying blow, Qiyana's expression was terrifyingly calm.

Almost at the moment when the light of the Quantum Tunnel just lit up, Qiyana, who was already aware of the danger, stopped abruptly and completed the whole process from raising the gun to pulling the trigger while slamming on the brakes.

The moment the silver-white spear tore through the air, the energy bullet infused with the power of space escaped, passing the conical spear point, and accurately hitting the armor shield of the mechanical giant's right hand.

The power belonging to the Second Herrscher unfolded at this moment, and a small hysteresis space was developed with the impact point as the core. The bullets and bullets made of energy also released all the energy according to the pre-set vector direction. Lonia exerted an upward momentum.

Mei, who had been prepared for a long time, also held Shishu Village at this moment and rushed out. While rushing towards the target, she also assumed a posture similar to Iai——

"Beichen One Sword Style—Amaterasu!"

Chapter 38. A Different Kiyana

In Beichen One Sword Style, there is more than one move that can be called "secret technique" - that is, the so-called "nirvana skill". Now Mei is using this slash in a form similar to Iai - Amaterasu But it's just one of the most basic "basic secrets".

The reason why I say this is that Amaterasu’s learning threshold is relatively low, and the requirements for physical fitness and swordsmanship are not high. More importantly, Amaterasu is the first and most basic of all Beichen’s one-sword moves. A secret meaning that requires the use of 'Qi'.

Wrap the ki extracted from the 'seed' around the blade, and cut out the samurai sword in the posture of Iai Zhan. At the same time, the powerful qi flowing on the blade will also form an energy blade with amazing lethality, killing the enemies in front. Kill them all.

Compared with other moves of Beichen's one-sword style that require special skills—for example, Su Fei once used Jianjigu's sword that was copied from Raiden Ryoma—Amaterasu is so simple and straightforward that it makes people feel that it is not worthy of it at all. It was included in the Beichen Yidao Style secret art, but precisely because Amaterasu was simple and straightforward enough, its lethality was at the top even among all the secret art.

However, the Amaterasu used by Mei is not strictly speaking the real "Secret Art Amaterasu", because after the incident ten years ago, Raiden Ryoma did not allow Mei to continue learning to refine Qi, and only allowed her and Su Fei also practiced simple chopping skills.

Today, Mei's slashing skills can be said to be as good as any samurai practicing Beichen's one-sword style. Even Su Fei's cheating device in this bug can only be compared with her. It's hard to say who will be better than the other powerful.

It's a pity that Mei, like other warriors, failed to extract 'qi' from the seeds buried in her body. Her skills were always limited to 'techniques', and she could not transform into a truly powerful...

Of course, for the current Mei, this kind of "just right" power is actually far more suitable for her than the real power. After all, Mei didn't want to kill this girl who seems to be manipulated .

Shizhou Muramasa's blade is not sharp, but the girl holding the blade has the will to cut through all difficulties and obstacles. With the blessing of this will and skill, even if there is no other special feature other than "sturdy" Shizhou Cunzheng also exerted staggering destructive power.

The previous battle between the two was not in vain. Mei knew very well that the bullets fired from the pistol named 'Guardian of the Moon God' had a strong control power, and her natural excellent fighting talent also allowed Mei to grasp it. The perfect opportunity when Operation Bronya was blocked, and he pointed the blade at the silent mechanical giant behind the girl without hesitation.

Under the effect of the hysteresis space, even if the speed of thinking is not slowed down, the physical action is slowed down several times. Facing such an enemy, Mei's slash has no reason to fail.

Her blade did not hit the empty space, and her skills were as perfect as ever. Shizhou Muramasa's blade accurately hit the mechanical giant trapped in the stagnant space, and the almost perfect combo between the two almost caused a 'kill' It's a normal situation, one can't help but be overwhelmed, but it's a pity...

If you want to destroy the enemy, it's useless to just hit it, and more importantly, you can break through the defense...

If he can't even break through the defense, no matter how precise the attack is, he can only make a series of heart-piercing '0's on the shield.

Mei is full of confidence in her slashing skills, but it is not the human technology of this era that casts this mechanical giant, but the legacy of the flame-chasing moth of the previous era. In the face of this power, the power of human beings is really overwhelming. too weak too weak...

The imagined feeling of tearing steel easily did not come along the blade, but was replaced by a heavy sense of frustration—in some action games, this is called a flicking knife.

This scalp-numbing frustration instantly penetrated Mei's whole body from the blade like a shock wave, and the rebounding force almost shattered the jaws of her right hand.

"--Well!"

The tearing pain caused Mei's delicate face to wrinkle together, her hands trembled unconsciously, and Shizhou Cunzheng almost let go.

Mei's silver teeth were almost crushed before she held back the pain and managed to maintain the posture in the middle, but she soon realized that it was unnecessary because...

Knife, broken.

In Mei's shocked pale eyes, the body protection knife that has been with her since junior high school, Shizhou Village, is starting to shatter from the front and middle of the blade. It quickly shattered into fragments, leaving only a bare handle.

"what?!"

The astonishment in Mei Yi's heart almost overflowed, she never thought that this Shizhou Village Zheng, which has been tempered so hard, would be shattered into pieces due to the reaction force... How tough is this guy?

This question is difficult to explain, and even Bronya, the Mechanic Colossus himself, doesn't know what kind of terrifying power is hidden in its steel-cast body-the only one who really knows all this is probably the A girl who sleeps forever in the Quantum Sea...

Bronya's eyes were indifferent, she didn't even think about what would happen if Mei didn't show mercy, but directly aimed the blade at her fragile neck, which could not move. Finally, the mechanical giant who got rid of the space-lag response responded to the master's will, raised his spear without hesitation, and stabbed straight at the unarmed Mei.

"Yi!"

Fortunately, although Mei was temporarily unable to move because of the tremors that pierced her whole body, Kiana was in perfect condition, and she had been paying attention to the battlefield. However, after realizing that Mei was in a bad situation, she quickly realized that she quickly hugged Mei by the waist after a few steps and fled far away.

A strange force that does not seem to be in the world ravaged this piece of ruins, tearing the already miserable ruins into finer pieces, like the crumbs of bread scattered on the ground after a feast, it is unsightly.

"So strong..."

Mei coughed a few times, trying to calm down her breathing and trembling hands.

"It's very strong," Kiyana nodded, her tone was a little unwilling, but more of a helpless one, "Our attack can't break through her defense at all... Where did that child come from? Such a powerful weapon?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that her weapons are definitely better than those produced by ME..."
