Crashing, but behind the spirit simulator

She remembered the sentence in "The Catcher in the Rye":

"I want to be a catcher in the rye. Watch out for the millions of kids running happily in the rye with no one around—I mean except me. And I'm right there Keep watch, on that goddam cliff. I catch kids when they accidentally run up.

I mean the kids are running and don't know where they're going and I have to come out of nowhere and catch them.I do this all day, I just want to be the catcher in the rye. "

Chapter 48 Status Quo and Disruption

"Senior Einstein, you are here."

While Rhianna was meditating, a petite girl in a protective suit walked over.

"Schrödinger? You came just in time, how is the situation here now?" Tesla asked anxiously.

"Everything is stable at present, and the core area is confined to the exploding laboratory." Schrödinger replied blankly, "The only problem now is that most of the communications in the entire city are paralyzed, but Nancy has sent at least nearly Tens of thousands of vehicles maintain order while acting as isolation belts."

"If only Berlin had this kind of reaction speed back then."

Leanna came back to her senses, and just heard Schrödinger's words, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"What about ordinary people... wait, on you?"

"Just to be on the safe side. Most of the ordinary people have been evacuated. As for me... I'm just curious."

Schrödinger exposed his head from the protective suit, revealing the cat-ear-shaped collapsed tissue on his head.

"At the moment, the impact does not appear to be significant."

Schrödinger stretched out his right hand covered with a layer of purple and white carapace.

The current Schrödinger is not nearly half-broken and out of control like in the original plot. The only collapsed tissues on his body are the cat ears on the top of his head and his own hands.

...actually quite cute.

However, why did Schrödinger say that the reason he was infected with Honkai was curiosity?

Could this unlucky kid come into contact with some source of collapse out of curiosity?

True curiosity killed the cat.

Liu Bai really didn't expect that after all the preparations were done, this guy could still be infected with Honkai.

"So far I haven't had any out-of-control reactions, well, generally speaking..."

"Be patient."

Leanna didn't want to hear Schrödinger publish her research results at all, so she directly shot him.

"I am the black going to hell; I am the white from heaven; God's Key·Heiyuan White Flower, the second rated power-Holy Lance Reverse Flow!"

As Leanna sang, the black abyss and white flowers were split into two, and the power of the white flowers directly caused the collapsed tissue on Schrödinger to slowly disappear.

"Right hand, the Honkai energy is sealed in your right hand. As long as you don't take the initiative to release it, it will not threaten your life...Honkai energy is a dangerous thing! Didn't your teacher teach you not to touch anything related to Honkai! ?”

What started out as a gentle explanation suddenly turned into a severe reprimand.

Holding back the child who was running towards the edge of the cliff is exactly what she should do as a "watcher".

"I just didn't expect that there would be such a high collapse energy object in the peripheral area. There were some minor accidents in the process of recovering it."

Schrödinger put on the protective suit again and said slowly.

"Although Hoonkai is the source of disasters, there are also rules to follow. Objects with high Hoonkai energy obviously shouldn't appear here."

"Huh? You mean...someone is launching Honkai?"

Leanna's head was not slow, and she quickly guessed what Schrödinger meant by this sentence.

"I don't know, but there are occasional coincidences that go against the law in everything... My business, thank you very much, Miss Leanna."

After finishing the business, Schrödinger sincerely bowed his head and thanked him.

The faces of the others gradually became serious, and the amount of information revealed in Schrödinger's sentence was outrageous.

Especially Leanna, it can be said that her face is cloudy and uncertain.

"Where's Edison?"

"Princess Nancy is leading people to search for possible high collapse energy substances, and she should be back soon... When she comes back, she should be able to summarize what is happening now."

Schrödinger replied softly.

"It's not a big problem."

Compared to the seriousness of other people, Liu Bai seemed quite calm.

The current situation is much better than the original plot, and there is no need for Edison to sacrifice his life to save the city.

"Half of Otto's cards were discarded, and the city did not fall into a paralyzed state as he expected."

The current situation is that communication is paralyzed, but people are not paralyzed.

In the original plot, because Edison was completely unprepared, the communication was paralyzed, causing the entire North American branch and city to be half-paralyzed. After Tesla and Einstein took over the command, they could only use a special tank and one hand. People who could count them—and they didn't even know how to drive a tank.

Now, although most of the communications have been cut off, Edison is clearly prepared and can still rely on the remaining few communications for scheduling.

Moreover, the disaster level is also very low, and it is confined to the laboratory, so there is no need to panic.

As a North American branch that can compete with the headquarters, once it moves...

Qianglong still does not suppress the snake in the ground.

"I hope so..." Einstein nodded, agreeing with Liu Bai's statement, "Now we can only trust Edison."

"If there is a Honkai beast that can't be dealt with, you can call me. My speed can reach one kilometer per minute, and if necessary, I can control the killing radius within ten meters to reduce the damage to the city."

Rhianna said softly.

Watching this scene, Walter was deeply touched, and remembered what Liu Bai said when he introduced Tianming to him.

[The so-called organization is not necessarily a single mind, many people actually have their own ideas, and there are even conflicts in these ideas-especially for a long-standing organization like Destiny-such as the Valkyrie and those high-ranking Senators, or their bishop]

The Noble Goal of Destiny gathers a group of Valkyries who also have lofty ideals.

But it is a pity that Otto, the Bishop of Destiny... just as he said, he is just a shadow chasing the "Saint".

Walter finally understood why he rejected Otto.

"I see. I will convey your willingness to join the war to Princess Nancy through a special communication device."

Schrödinger was obviously taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Riana to say such a thing.

But soon, Schrödinger nodded. As a high-level executive of the North American branch, she knew very well that the most powerful fighting force of Destiny.

It seemed that the other party already had the idea of ​​breaking up with Otto.

However, Schrödinger can understand it.

At this moment, the last fig leaf between the two sides was revealed. Leanna, who had served in the Destiny for a full 100 years, finally realized that she and Otto were not the same.

——Otto is not some ruthless general who will do whatever it takes to win, but a conspirator to achieve his own desires.

Leanna has gone through 100 years of ups and downs in the Mandate of Destiny, and at least one-tenth of the soldiers lying in the Invalids Cemetery are Leanna's former comrades-in-arms.

But now, Rhianna suddenly realizes that the ideals of herself and her comrades-in-arms are just tools for others to achieve their own desires...

They are soldiers, so they can execute the order of death without hesitation on the battlefield of Honkai for the future of mankind.

As long as it is for victory, they can accept their sacrifices, because they know that their sacrifices will pave the way for the war between humans and Houkai.

But if all of this is to fulfill the selfish desires of the superiors...then what are their sacrifices?

If it hadn't been for Leanna's 100-year career as a soldier, she would have realized something, and someone else would have gone straight to the headquarters with a gun and went to Otto to ask for an explanation.

Chapter 49 The confrontation between Liu Bai and Otto

"Honkai Beast Removal - It has been confirmed that there is no abnormal Honkai response in the outer area, and the operation is over."

Edison looked at the Honkai beast that had completely lost its activity in front of him expressionlessly.

"Destroy the body of the Houkai Beast without leaving a single hair behind."

"Understood, Sir Edison!"

The special forces of the North American branch quickly dropped special fuel on the body of the Houkai Beast.

"Okay, Professor Elias, have you figured out how to justify them to Dr. Einstein?"

For Edison's ridicule, the Finn could only show a wry smile.

"There is nothing to justify... I just plead guilty and obey the law, but my wife and children..."

"I have nothing to do with your wife, but your son has already been picked up—our North American branch is not vegetarian in the UK."

There are plenty of pitfalls in this sentence.

However, the Finn was relieved at this time, and he could not ask for more if he could save one.

Thinking of this, the Finn silently followed Edison's pace.

Manhattan Temporary Command Room

"Good afternoon, Finn."

Einstein stroked his natural curls.

"I heard you made a big deal here... How does it feel when the bomb goes off?"

"It's terrible. At the moment of the explosion, I only have regrets in my heart... Is it just you?"

Facing Einstein's ridicule, the Finn smiled wryly, and then glanced around.

"I heard that a Valkyrie from the headquarters is also here."

"My task is not to kill you... Besides, I am not going to continue to obey Bishop Otto's orders."

Riana lifted the curtain and walked in.

"However, it's really not good for you to walk in so swaggeringly. Maybe a bullet will fly somewhere and make you shut up forever."

"Then it's really scary..." the Finn shrugged, "but it won't delay me from exposing the evil deeds of that bishop."

expose?

Edison ignored everyone's astonished expressions and nodded: "It's impossible for Otto to bully him and not call him back, right? Perhaps Professor Elias' words alone are not convincing, but..."

"—no but, Miss Nancy."

A slightly arrogant voice sounded from the side of the crowd.

This voice made everyone present shudder——

Otto! ?

Why is he here! ?

The sense of crisis that Rumang felt hit his back instantly, and Edison subconsciously wanted to back away, but the next moment, another strange male voice came from the same direction.

"No, Bishop Otto, I think everyone should have the right to speak freely."

The lance that was about to pierce Edison's body was slowly lowered.

It was only then that everyone discovered that the original Leanna had turned into a handsome young man they had never seen before.

"Liu Liu Liu Liu...!"

The familiar voice made Tesla point to the young man in front of him, unable to speak.

"Shh."

Liu Bai signaled Tesla not to speak, so as not to expose himself.

Although he is a ghost, he doesn't want to be recorded by Otto so early.

"Who are you? How can you control Riana's body?"

At this moment, Otto's tone was full of shock and confusion.

Leanna, the "Soul Steel Valkyrie" transformed by him - is his strongest spare body.

In 100 years, over 1000 transformations, big and small, and at the same time, in order not to let Riana notice the backhand he arranged in her body, he can be said to have tried his best.

But who would have thought that not only did he fail to activate this backhand for the first time, but he even lost control of his body completely?
