Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

One of her friends, who had settled in Moonsea City, was once a Valkyrie of Destiny, but her health was deteriorating due to Honkai erosion and Stigmata rejection.

Lister Corporation has cheap anti-collapse drugs, but using them not only doesn't help, it actually makes the condition worse.

Not only her, but several other Valkyries who retired early also encountered different situations.

Difficulty breathing, angina, hallucinations while asleep...

While it cured the Honkai energy's erosion, it caused even more serious problems.

"Can you take me to see it?"

In order to gather information and learn more about Anna's current situation, Ziyao offered to help.

"These inhuman beasts disregard human lives for the sake of making money; they are truly shameless."

Looking at the building in front of her, Kiana said with dissatisfaction, "If it were the old me, I would definitely have run in, grabbed the female manager by the collar, and questioned her until I got what I wanted."

However, doing so will definitely cause trouble for Ziyao.

When faced with a problem, the first thing to do is to think calmly, just like Ziyao did...

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Kiana followed.

The group arrived at a small apartment.

Upon opening the door, a frail young girl sat on the bed, coughing incessantly, her face pale.

After noticing that there were guests, she quietly hid the blood-stained tissue.

"These two are friends I met outside, and they are also destined for greatness."

Anna quickly helped the girl up and explained.

"Is there some difficulty? Even if the Valkyrie retires, if she has health problems, she should be able to apply for welfare funds from Schicksal."

That little bit of money is only enough to live on.

Anna shook her head and said, "Not everyone is a powerful Valkyrie."

Ordinary Valkyries like them, although their salaries are higher than those of ordinary people, are still quite different from the former, and their treatment is also different.

Some girls didn't even die at the hands of the Honkai Beasts, but rather from the rejection reaction to artificial Stigmata.

Her friend also chose to retire early due to health issues.

"Click..."

Ziyao picked up the medicine box on the table, which had the name [Lister] written on the bottom.

The ingredient list of the medicine looked familiar. Ziyao checked the information and found that it was the Honkai Energy Suppressor from the official Destiny.

No, look closely, the more expensive materials have been replaced with strange things, probably cheaper alternatives.

I looked up information about the company online and found a lot of people criticizing it.

Clicking on one of the links resulted in a 404 error.

Looking at the others, they were either blocked or covered by meaningless posts, and I couldn't find anything useful at all.

Sorry, according to relevant regulations... the webpage you are trying to access has been blocked.

Code.

Different places, same taste.

Unexpectedly, this practice became a global phenomenon, which made Ziyao a little nervous.

"Ziyao, when are we going to raid... and gather evidence tonight?"

There's another reason to infiltrate Lister Pharmaceuticals.

Kiana was furious when she saw the girl's pitiful state.

They actually sold fake medicine to the Valkyrie who once protected humanity; they have absolutely no conscience.

"Okay, I'll go in a bit."

Before that.....

"Please excuse me for a moment, I have a way to alleviate the symptoms."

"Really, really?"

Anna asked doubtfully, "Ziyao is very young, the same age as me."

How could she possibly do something that even doctors couldn't do?

"Do not worry."

Raven had prepared a very complete fake identity; she was not only the heiress of a private company, but also a pharmacist.

After looking at the business card, Anna nodded. "Thank you."

"Hey, am I going out too?"

Although she didn't understand, Kiana still chose to listen to Ziyao.

After leaving, she closed the door behind her.

"Miss Zi...your solution...?"

The pale-faced girl coughed twice, remaining wary of Ziyao because they were still strangers.

"Close your eyes and don't be nervous."

He took out the scorching plague gem from the system space, pointed the sharp edge at his hand, and slashed it downwards with force.

In an instant, a bright red streak of blood appeared, dripping and flowing.

Drip blood into a cup, then add hot water to dilute it. Soon, a cup of 'medicine' that can inhibit Honkai energy is made.

As she handed it over, the girl backed away in fear, squinting as she saw what Ziyao had just done.

"Drink this, and your symptoms will improve quickly. If you're lucky, you might even recover completely."

Is this definitely not some weird and ignorant folk remedy?

The girl shook her head repeatedly, strongly resisting the 'medicine' that emitted a sweet, fishy smell.

"........"

Seriously, I told you not to watch it.

Sometimes, knowing the truth can be detrimental to you.

Ziyao pressed forward step by step, while the girl retreated little by little.

Left with no other choice, Ziyao had to drink it herself.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she didn't have to drink someone else's blood.

Unexpectedly, Ziyao seized the moment when she relaxed her guard and grabbed her hand.

"Hmm? Guh...!"

Their lips met, and before she knew it, she had drunk the slightly sweet 'medicine'.

The girl tried to vomit, but it was too late.

She looked at Ziyao with shame and indignation, never expecting that she would be kissed by a girl, and in such a way that it was almost forced.

"You...you!"

The girl felt hot all over, dizzy, and the world was spinning.

"Want another kiss?"

Ziyao chuckled and took out a tissue to wipe the injury on her hand.

A miraculous thing happened: the wound on her hand healed rapidly, disappearing in just two minutes without leaving a scar.

The girl wanted to say something, but she fainted due to exhaustion.

Anna rushed in as soon as she opened the door and found her friend collapsed on the bed.

"You'll be fine after waking up. Just be careful not to catch a cold these next few days."

Anna lifted the girl's clothes to confirm and found that the stigmata on her back had indeed completely disappeared.

Even the doctors at the headquarters of Destiny couldn't solve it, yet this girl in front of us managed to do it. Who is she?

"Thank you so much, I don't know how to express my gratitude enough."

She took Ziyao's hand and said excitedly.

"It's no trouble at all, just treat me to dinner."

Make a good first impression; some things take time.

Leaving an opportunity for them to meet again, Ziyao left the apartment with Kiana.

Should we report them?

On the way, Kiana asked, still troubled by Lister's matter.

"It's no use."

Ziyao doesn't like getting entangled with people, especially those who are talkative and have a bad attitude.

Moreover, the other party is a large organization, making it very difficult to bring them down.

"Huh? Aren't we waiting until tonight?"

"I heard we're going to break into a brothel right now," Kiana asked doubtfully. "Isn't it best to do this at night when it's dark and windy?"

"They work in 24-hour shifts, so it doesn't matter when you go."

Upon arriving at the factory area, Ziyao took out a Rubik's Cube with the World Snake logo on it.

When it was activated, the entire surrounding area instantly lost internet access.

She preferred to simply unplug the network cable rather than hack into the other party's monitoring system, as it was much easier.

Take out the rope and throw it to the other side of the wall.

The security guards inside came over to check, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the two swaggered into the factory area through the main gate.
