Under Su Jue's precise control, the bullet hit his arm forcefully, and blood spurted out, splashing on Kiana's face. "Su Jue!!" The moment she saw Su Jue being hit by a bullet, Kiana felt like she was struck by lightning, and her mind went blank. clang. In front of the puppet, the copper shell collided with the ground, and the next bullet was loaded. boom--! The gunshots stopped, and there was no more sound in the silent checkpoint. There was a small bullet hole in the cement floor where the two men were. The moment the second bullet arrived, Kiana finally unleashed her potential, forcibly calling upon the power of the Herrscher Core, and teleported away with Su Jue. In the distance, the puppet's eyes gradually lost their light after losing control of Su Jue. The sniper rifle fell from the puppet's hand powerlessly, fell from the rooftop, and landed on the concrete floor.
A white hand stretched out from the void, grabbed the puppet's body, and dragged it into the theater of domination. A few minutes later, another transport truck with the Ouroboros logo on it stopped at the checkpoint. Ta-da-da, the sound of dense footsteps was heard, and the better-equipped team quickly blocked the scene. A man covered in a black windbreaker got out of the car, a pale mask on his face, replacing all his expressions. Two dagger-like patterns were interlaced in the middle of the mask, like a hunter waiting to hunt. His left eye was covered by the mask, but the scarlet right eye looked particularly strange. It was a sunny day, but the man opened a black umbrella. His thick robe covered his entire body, and against his tall and thin body, he looked like a poisonous creature - a snake. "In less than ten minutes, there is not even a single survivor left." The man's voice was hoarse, and the unclear electronic sound made his voice difficult to recognize. He first glanced at the completely destroyed monitoring equipment, and after confirming that no information could be found, he used his flickering red prosthetic eye to continuously scan the chaotic battlefield, recording all the data, and finally gathering it at Shencheng Technology's computing terminal for analysis. When the red light dimmed, he slowly raised his head, and the trajectories of all the bullets became clearly visible in his eyes. Following the direction of the bullets, he looked at the location of the puppet sniper. But now, of course, there is nothing there, no signs of any human activity. "Clean up the battlefield and take all the test subjects back. Clean up the bloodstains and fake the scene of being attacked by Honkai beasts." After whispering the order, Gray Snake took a step and walked alone to the location where the sniping took place. In Scarlet Snake Eyes, the first thing to be captured is naturally heat. He bent down, put on gloves and gently picked up the sniper rifle. The fall from a high place made this outdated bolt-action rifle a little loose. But the temperature of the muzzle honestly told him that this was the murder weapon that massacred his team. There is no special mark on the sniper rifle. This old-fashioned gun that is about to be scrapped is an obsolete product whether it is from Tianming, the army, or Shencheng Technology, and it is not difficult to obtain it. More importantly, not only was there no fingerprints on the trigger of the gun, there was not even any residual body heat from someone holding it. He raised his head and his eyes fell on the rooftop, and the slight traces of bumps were captured by Snake Eyes. But when he arrived at the rooftop, he only saw scattered sawdust, and there was not even the smell of someone sniping here. Chapter 20: The evening breeze away from the hustle and bustle brings peaceful days Dark and heavy, memories are like intertwined, swirling and falling holes, intertwined with the abyss called pain. It felt like the body was being torn apart, stinging and tearing, cutting through every inch of flesh and every bone.
"Am I going to die?" Hanging upside down in the endless darkness, the girl continued to sink, like a victim forgotten in the deep sea. Disordered and mixed fragments of memory kept flashing, describing her life intertwined with lies. She saw her friends at St. Freya Academy, Theresa, Mei, Bronya, Class Leader Fu Hua, and Teacher Himeko... In my memory, they were clearly smiling. They were my closest friends and the most reliable partners. But now, there are no smiles on their faces, only resentment and fear. "Your life is just a script that has been set for you." "Your name is just a lie." "Your existence is just a dream, an experimental subject numbered K423, trying to have your own life." "You are just a container, a container used to hold the Ruler of the Void. What you have experienced is nothing but nothingness." "..." The girl was silent, with Xilin's voice constantly echoing in her ears, lingering in the silent sea of consciousness. It was not until a long time later that the girl finally seemed to give up resistance. The fragments of memory that kept flashing back gradually dissipated and the hole in her consciousness gradually disappeared. "Very well, K423. Hand over this body to me. Together with you, I will take revenge on this dirty and hypocritical world." In the space of consciousness, Xilin's shadow gradually became solid. She kept using words to disturb the girl's heart. She was already impatient to accept this perfect host. "Are you done?" Unexpectedly, what she waited for was not the girl's despair, but a sharp question. Floating in the darkness, her bright blue eyes sparkled. At this moment, she no longer had the despair that was once filled with pain. The broken barriers of her heart became even more solid after being shattered once. Although she was haunted by painful memories, her consciousness was not shaken at all. “How is it possible that you can still maintain your consciousness after being corrupted by the Herrscher Core?!” Silin was a little bit unbelievable after failing again. This time, Kiana forcefully broke through the core of the void law, and most of her body was almost corroded by the collapse. Logically speaking, her consciousness should have been lost in the chaos of the collapse... "Are you surprised? Are you confused?" Kiana, whose consciousness had fully recovered, stopped falling. She was quietly suspended in the abyss of the bottom consciousness. Xilin gradually appeared in front of her, and the two of them looked at each other face to face. "Foolish fellow, have you forgotten? Your friends have all betrayed you." The space was distorted and turned into a pure white maze. Xilin snapped her fingers, and the phantoms of Theresa and others appeared in the white maze. "Look, you have turned into a monster in their eyes. The only way to save you is to kill you." Following Sirin's actions, Kiana's friends at St. Freya Academy took the initiative to attack her. "I'm sorry, Kiana." Mei's shadow kept saying this, but the blade slashed towards Kiana mercilessly, cutting a deep gash in her body. "Look, look, all they want to do is kill you!" "you……"
boom--! ! Before Sirin finished her words, Kiana punched Mei in the stomach. The powerful force sent Mei flying backwards, and she turned into pieces and disappeared completely before she hit the ground. "Are you crazy? She's your best friend, and you actually took the initiative to kill her!" Silin, who had always been rooted in Kiana's heart and fully understood what Saint Freya meant to Kiana, was really shocked this time. She had thought that her consciousness erosion would fail, but she never thought that Kiana would actually attack the person most important to her. "Haha." Kiana, who had defeated Mei's phantom with one punch, sneered, "Fake is fake after all. You, who have never been trusted by anyone, probably can't understand the feeling of being expected by others." "..." "Besides, didn't you say so? They have already betrayed me, why should I hold back?" For a moment, Xilin was speechless. She stared at Kiana, trying to find out why she had transformed into what she was now. "I see. It's that bastard. It's that bastard, right?" "I will kill him, I will!" The sound became weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely. In the pure white maze of consciousness, only Kiana was left. She stood there silently, looking down at the fist she had just thrown, with a flash of pain in her eyes. She had never thought that there would be a day when she would attack her friends. Although she just said it nonchalantly, Xilin's words still tore a crack in her heart. After attacking Mei's phantom, the feeling of grief reached its peak. However, trust is the best medicine to cure betrayal. There are still people who trust me and there are still people who are looking forward to me, so I shouldn't fall down in such a place. click - The space of consciousness was broken, and Kiana's consciousness slowly sank, and then gradually became clear. "you're awake?" The boy had a smile on his face, and the red sunset in the distance fell obliquely on the two of them, stretching their shadows very long. Su Jue, who was slumped on the ground, leaned against a big tree with some fatigue, while Kiana, who had used the Herrscher Core and fell asleep, lay on the grass with her head resting on the boy's thigh. The evening breeze gently brushed the treetops, and the old trees made a rustling sound. The dusk sprinkled golden light on the empty grassland, coating it with an ambiguous color. The distant border line was lined with cities, with bright lights. The two seemed to be far away from all the hustle and bustle, abandoning all the past. Time was eternal and stayed at this moment. Kiana, lying flat on the grass with Su Jue as her pillow, was stunned for a moment. Her long white hair was blown by the wind, intertwined with the boy's short gray hair, almost blending into one. Her golden and blue eyes were reflected in his simple gray eyes, so clear, so bright, as if he only had her in his eyes. She slowly closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of peace. Chapter 21: The Girl Who Paints Stars "Ahem, can you get up first? I...my legs are a little numb." Su Jue couldn't hold it in any longer. His health was not good to begin with. After the space transfer, he just waited for Kiana to wake up. He waited from day to evening, and now his legs were almost numb from being pressed. He finally waited for her to wake up, but she closed her eyes, which meant she was going to sleep again. Hearing Su Jue's voice, Qiyana's face turned red, and she quickly turned over and got up from him. Her previous memories quickly replayed, why did she use the power of the void law? That's right, Su Jue was injured. "How is your injury?" She looked at Su Jue's arm with some concern, but it was already covered with bandages, and it seemed that the boy had wrapped it himself. "It's not serious. The bullet didn't hit me. I just got some superficial injuries." He raised his hand trying to show off, but the severe pain soon spread to his mind, causing his whole face to wrinkle. "You still say it's not serious!" Kiana held Su Jue's arm with some anger and carefully untied the messy bandage on his wound. Seeing the wound on the boy's arm where a large piece of flesh was almost missing, Qiana's nose felt sore and tears gradually accumulated. But she knew that now was not the time to be sad. Although the bandage tied by Su Jue with one hand stopped the bleeding, it was not conducive to the recovery of the wound. "I'll help you untie your clothes. You can't breathe if you tie them like this." As she said this, she wanted to take off Su Jue's clothes.
Su Jue was startled and quickly stopped her action, "Just tie it like this." "...Okay." Looking at Su Jue with some doubt, Kiana could only pull his sleeves up as much as possible, help him clean the wound and wrap it with bandages. Su Jue, who had just escaped a disaster, had his heart pounding. The black and white Qianjue mark on his heart kept rising and falling with his heartbeat. This thing was the core mark of his Ruler of Domination. If Kiana found it, he would definitely be exposed in the future. Although Kiana's academic level was often failing at St. Freya Academy, she still had medical knowledge. In just a few minutes, the bandages that Su Jue had tied into a ball became comfortable and breathable, and she also tied a cute bow on it. Nodding with satisfaction, Kiana shifted her gaze from Su Jue to the surrounding environment. The ancient trees and lawns made it look like she was in some vast grassland, but the tall buildings in the distance told her that it was not far from the city. "This should be a ranch on the outskirts of the city." When the voice came, Su Jue took out a mobile phone. The phone was an old model from a few years ago. The screen was broken and tightly wrapped with tape. That's right, this is the phone he stole from his subordinate. Now that Qian Jue's company has Xiao Lei joining, it has begun to involve the comics industry, and it is not difficult to make money. After replacing the new phone for his subordinate, the old phone naturally became his configuration. Such a considerate boss for his subordinates, philanthropists would have to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, and shout that the living Buddha is alive. Looking at the tattered phone in Su Jue's hand, Kiana was a little silent. Although the Valkyrie of Destiny had to face many dangers, the basic configuration was still full, and the phone was always the latest model. Unfortunately, in the previous collapse, her phone had long been scrapped. "The map's positioning is still usable. We are still within the scope of Tianqiong City." Su Jue handed the phone directly to Kiana, and finally said in a low voice: "Your ability of teleportation is very harmful to your body. If possible, it is better not to use it." "Aren't you afraid? That kind of ability is not what a normal Valkyrie should have." After the haze in her heart dissipated, her fear of the Herrscher of the Void was no longer so strong. But for ordinary people, the Herrscher was still the most terrifying existence. Kiana could have dozens of ways to deceive Su Jue, but this time, she didn't want to lie. Su Jue scratched his face lightly with his fingers, revealing a slightly embarrassed look, "Actually, I'm still a little scared... Will you hurt me?" "No!" Her voice was crisp and clear, without any hesitation. The feeling of embarrassment quickly dissipated, and a reassuring smile crept onto the boy's cheeks, "I believe you." The setting sun gradually sank into the earth, and the afterglow dyed the sky red. The two walked side by side on the pasture, as if it was a romantic journey. Unfortunately, as the parties involved, they didn't feel romantic at all. "Goo~~" A strange sound came from the abdomen. The two people who were about to faint from hunger looked at each other awkwardly, and then couldn't help laughing. When the sunlight completely disappeared, the stars in the sky began to twinkle. Without the light pollution of neon lights in the metropolis, the stars are particularly bright on the grassland. The two hungry men walked through the pasture and then stopped. Under the vast starry sky, the girl who was drawing stars gradually came into view. The girl walked barefoot on the cold grass, with a large wooden easel standing in front of her, covering most of her petite body. The starlight and moonlight complement each other, shining unreservedly on the girl, making her look like a starry elf. Her lavender eyes focused on the drawing paper, and she looked up at the stars from time to time. Her left hand gently held the paint palette, and the tip of the paintbrush in her right hand hovered over the dark blue canvas, but it didn't fall down. The flowing paint fell along the brush, staining the white dress, and then rubbed everywhere with the girl's movements. "What color are the stars?" She didn't notice the paint dripping, she was so focused, as if the sky was the only thing in the world, and she was unaware of the arrival of the two uninvited guests. After observing for a long time, the girl finally made up her mind and put down her paintbrush. However, the paint had already fallen off, and the stars painted in the night sky turned into rough spots.
"ah." With a slight cry, the girl withdrew her paintbrush in distress. In the end, she was unable to paint this field of stars. She took down the canvas, crumpled it into a ball, and then put it into the trash can beside her. The girl slowly packed up her painting tools. After everything was packed up, she found the two people who had been waiting for a long time. The moment she saw the stranger, the girl was startled for a moment, then she was so frightened that she didn't even have time to take her painting supplies. She ran back to the cottage not far away barefoot on the grass.
