Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"Hey, is anyone there?"

Kiana shouted, "Where is the so-called knowledgeable librarian?"

"No, this is not a library."

Mei noticed that the table was covered in dust; if someone was in charge, this shouldn't be the case.

She took two steps back and saw the sign clearly.

——【Old Library (converted from Archives)】

If you look closely, you'll find a piece of paper next to it with an arrow pointing to the next floor where the library is.

"Mei, I think I just saw a strange robot."

As the elevator started moving and the doors closed, Kiana noticed a round, bulging sphere.

Unfortunately, time was too short, and I didn't get to see anything clearly.

Upon arriving at the library, I found that the collection here was just the right amount of books, and it was quite well-organized compared to the previous one.

Most of the data is stored in electronic format, which is the only way to withstand the test of time.

Not far away, the librarian was hunched over his desk, playing on his phone, blatantly slacking off.

“Miss Catherine, I want to find all the records about the collapse of London.”

A figure in a dream, shattered memories.

Unforgettable, an existence that should not be relinquished.

Mei was certain that the white-haired girl was the one she was looking for.

"Eh?"

The girl was startled, clearly unaware of the visitor's arrival, and mistook it for her boss.

"London... wait a moment, let me check for you."

She shook her head and cheered herself up.

"Miss administrator, do you have any of the latest comic books?"

Kiana wasn't interested in the information; she'd rather take the opportunity to read comics.

"Yes, I put them on the side closest to the corridor."

The placement of the item is especially important for making it convenient to catch fish regularly.

Without hesitation, the librarian immediately gave directions.

Ziyao walked into the depths of the library, where the tall bookshelves resembled a giant wall, filled with all sorts of precious items.

I opened my phone, and a message from Otto was displayed.

[Otto: My ally, thanks to you, the Herrscher of the Void has shown signs of awakening, and my plans will soon move forward another step.]

The 'gift' has been delivered to St. Freya Academy, along with the items you needed. We wish to have a successful collaboration.

Gift?

What kind of crazy idea is Otto up to?

Scrolling up through the records, aside from "Look at Karen," Otto rarely sends messages.

However, Ziyao could probably guess that it was related to awakening the Herrscher of the Void within Kiana.

In visual novels, this is something that cannot be avoided.

It is better to block than to open up.

If a dam is about to collapse, all that's needed is to proceed gradually, releasing its force little by little.

That's why she cooperated and helped awaken the Herrscher of the Void.

Below the message bar, the raven icon also has a small red dot.

The Staff of the Underworld is ready. The area around the sanatorium has been infiltrated by anti-entropy. Please be careful.

As is her usual style, her words are concise and precise.

He doesn't talk about life while working, and he doesn't talk about work while living. He's a formidable and unique mercenary.

"Click-clack—"

The sound of mechanical joints colliding rang out.

Ziyao looked around but found nothing.

She didn't really want to pay attention, but the strange noises kept coming on and off.

The lights were dim deep inside the library, and the mechanical noises seemed to be coming from a corner.

"..."

Putting down her book, the girl approached the source of the sound step by step.

White fluorescence gradually covered her body, and her beautiful long, straight black hair awakened, turning into a huge white braid.

It was very convenient to directly apply the doll's power to herself, and Ziyao felt her body become much lighter.

In the blink of an eye, she transformed into Karen.

He gripped the two crimson pistols tightly in his hands and stepped into the corner.

There is no doubt that this is a trap.

The venomous spider mechs, which had been lying in wait, suddenly emerged, unleashing their heat and exploding in an instant.

Unfortunately, the girl was agile and leaped backward as lightly as a swallow, dodging the surprise attack.

That wasn't the end of it; several Poison Spider mechs rushed up and self-destructed.

Two shots rang out, but before they could even reach Ziyao, they were instantly destroyed by the enormous impact.

The explosion also destroyed the bookshelves, which collapsed one after another like dominoes, scattering books all over the floor.

More than a dozen venomous spider mechs were instantly destroyed, leaving only a bewildered reconnaissance robot.

She recorded the girl's fighting scene into her memory, intending to upload it to a backup.

Just as she was about to succeed, a merciless bullet pierced her.

"Phew—it's good to get some exercise now and then."

Stretching her waist, Ziyao took a long breath.

In the blink of an eye, she saw Mei with a subtle expression.

"Um...you are...Nightingale teacher?"

Book 1: Chapter 62 The Wrong Choice

"Information on London... I'll look for it."

In the past two months, information about London has been retrieved many times, and it seems that quite a few people are investigating it.

She took out an electronic screen from under the storage table, accessed the computer's permissions, loaded relevant articles into it, and took notes.

As someone who frequently surfs the internet, she guessed what Mei was investigating.

This matter caused a great uproar in the Destiny, and to this day the bishop has still not come forward to clarify, and the outcome remains uncertain.

With the aim of disproving the claims, she watched the video countless times, but still couldn't find a single flaw.

The image of the girl wielding the flaming sword, even through a screen, still evokes a sense of tragedy and awe.

According to unofficial sources, the related videos will resurface soon.

At that time, it is likely that Destiny will find it difficult to conceal the existence of Honkai and will have no choice but to make it public.

"Why do you want to go looking for it, Miss Mei? These documents probably don't have the clues you're looking for."

She sighed, saying that even Bishop Otto couldn't be sure about this matter.

"That was someone very important to me."

Mei looked away, her voice weak and unsteady.

These past few days, my dreams have been like a fledgling bird growing up, its wings becoming increasingly full.

In her dream, she fell in love with a strange girl.

He saved her from danger countless times, and apart from the last step, the two did many happy things together.

The happy life should have continued, however, a great collapse occurred.

It was a disaster; everyone died.

Even the young girl was no exception; she died in her arms, covered in blood, bringing the story to its final conclusion.

The feeling of being torn apart is still lingering.

The details of the dream were very vague, and even Mei felt a little silly for crying over a mere illusion.

But was that really a dream?

"Here, I've set it up. Just turn it on."

The administrator granted viewing permissions, and the electronic screen was successfully turned on.

Just as Mei was about to check, she suddenly heard a familiar mechanical sound.

It's a venomous spider mech—

A self-destructing weapon that always surprises people with its unexpected attacks.

She cut down at least twenty Poison Spider mechs yesterday, and her hands were numb, so you could tell just by listening.

Is Nightingale-sensei inside?

Setting down the electronic screen, the girl gripped the sword hilt in her right hand and walked step by step into the depths of the library.

Mei stopped before she reached the corner.

"An entropy-reversing rat...?"

The girl murmured, and a soft, warm light flashed by; she quickly transformed into Karen's appearance.
