Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

..

in the afternoon.

Wendy left the room, feeling inexplicably thirsty.

My throat felt dry, my voice was hoarse, and I had difficulty breathing.

Today is very strange. I don't know if it's the effect of the tranquilizer or something else, but the desire for the gem inside my body is extremely agitated.

As I took out a disposable airline cup from the paper bag and filled it with hot water, I was suddenly knocked to the ground.

Boiling water scalded Wendy's hand, turning it red. She looked up and saw a furious Valkyrie approaching.

"How dare you, a monster like you, come out and not stay in your cage?"

She closed the water dispenser lid and said with dissatisfaction.

The Valkyries at the sanatorium were all intentionally or unintentionally keeping their distance from Wendy, a fact she herself was aware of.

But this is the first one where the malice is so obvious.

"Have you said enough?"

Wendy didn't want to argue with her.

He's just a shallow, unlucky guy who was used to death and was still counting money for others.

He fetched water again, and then it was knocked to the ground again.

Thunder rumbled and the rain poured down relentlessly, just like Wendy's mood at that moment.

Her face darkened as she suppressed her dissatisfaction.

"He doesn't say a word, yet he really thinks he's a prostitute. He's just a cripple."

The Valkyrie spat, looking Wendy up and down with disdain.

Wendy, leaning on a cane, is almost unable to move around on her own.

Wendy ignored her and turned to leave.

The rampant destructive energy within her body continuously fueled her ferocity, and Wendy had no doubt that she could tear the other person's mouth apart with a mere wave of her hand.

"Hmph, no wonder Bronya called you a disgusting guy, you don't even have that much self-awareness."

The next sentence hits the nail on the head.

Wendy suddenly stopped.

First, a flash of white light appeared, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

Two hours later, the doctor hurriedly pushed open the office door.

—Wendy has disappeared.

Volume 1: Chapter 66 The Herrscher of Wind Descends

Wendy went missing at 4 p.m.

The rain poured down, throwing the entire sanatorium into chaos.

Strangely, the rain was not accompanied by wind, and the sky was unexpectedly 'quiet'.

The rain poured down, falling directly to the ground and turning into countless droplets.

"Lady Theresa, the Anti-Entropy mech forces have retreated ten kilometers; they have moved out of the suburban plains!"

The Valkyrie captain exclaimed excitedly, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

I thought there would be a standoff, but the other side backed down beforehand.

"Lia, is the tracking device on Wendy still working?"

In the face of crisis, the white-haired little girl stands on the table, calmly handling everything.

"The last location signal disappeared near the Ailan Forest, which is next to a flower field, so it is unlikely that there is a place to hide."

Cocolia replied, observing everything from the sidelines.

To be on the safe side, she chose to be wary of Ziyao's actions.

This move resembled a ruse, and she was the one who had been tricked into leaving.

However, this anecdote would not hold true in real life.

A smart person would send someone to test the waters, and similarly, she left a few mechs to handle rapid response.

Wendy drank the Honkai Energy Reaction Potion and will soon go berserk.

The reason she wasn't interested in the research data from the sanatorium was because she already had it.

Poor Theresa was still kept in the dark.

Soon, she will be able to easily obtain the Gem of Desire, as well as data about the Herrscher.

There is only one person we need to be wary of—

Out of the corner of her eye, Cocolia glanced at the black-haired girl.

It is incredibly mysterious, and its true origin remains unknown.

He repeatedly uncovered her plans; her methods were bizarre yet effective...

Having suffered losses several times, this is a crucial moment, and we must be extremely cautious.

"Teacher Nightingale, do you have any clues?"

Mei thoughtfully made coffee for Ziyao and handed it to her on a tray.

The girl in front of her was the same age as her, and it felt a little strange to use a respectful term of address. Mei inexplicably disliked this way of addressing her.

A blinding white light flashed outside the window, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.

"We might have to fight later, so be prepared."

Ziyao replied that she was already at the center of the vortex.

"What should we do? Is something really going to happen?"

Kiana looked worried, her face wet with tears.

She had been searching for Wendy everywhere, and her clothes were completely soaked by the rain.

The shirt clung tightly to the skin, soaked through by the rain, and water stains ran down the knee-high socks to the floor.

"The situation is not good."

Ziyao said calmly, throwing away the folding fan in her hand.

The sanatorium is in chaos. On one hand, they are searching for Wendy, and on the other hand, they must be wary of Anti-Entropy's betrayal.

People were coming and going in the office, and someone knocked over the bitter melon juice on the table, but Theresa didn't even glance at it.

On the monitoring screen, the Honkai energy index in the area near the sanatorium rose sharply, exceeding the danger line.

This foreshadows an imminent Honkai eruption, most likely by a Herrscher.

"Rita?"

Soon, Theresa received a communication from Destiny.

"Not only me, but also Lady Durandal, the Undying Blade Squad is on its way to New Zealand to provide assistance, please rest assured."

"Grandpa Bishop's orders?"

“That’s right, His Highness the Bishop is worried that the arrival of the Herrscher will bring disaster.”

"I see....."

Theresa knew perfectly well how the Undying Blade would treat the Herrscher.

Her own hands were not clean either, they were covered in blood.

Taking someone's life is such an ordinary thing, a kind of numbing sadness.

Therefore, she felt she didn't even deserve to atone for her sins.

Grandpa Bishop didn't care about Wendy's survival; all he needed to do was reclaim the Gem of Desire.

Theresa gritted her teeth and withdrew half of the Valkyries responsible for defending the sanatorium, hoping to find Wendy before Durandal arrived.

The sky grew darker and darker, and the heavy rain continued unabated.

At 6 p.m., the Fourth Valkyrie Squad confirmed Wendy's whereabouts.

The girl appeared deep within the Ailan Farm, looking very weak.

"Mei, you lead the third squad and flank them from the right."

"What should I do now that I'm on my period?"

"Kiana, you're in charge of protecting Nightingale. A lot of Honkai Beasts will appear later."

Leaving behind half of the Valkyries, Theresa took on the oath of Judah.

It's hard to imagine how Wendy, who can only walk with a cane, managed to travel such a distance.

She had to stop it all herself before it became too late.

Although the Valkyrie armor is not afraid of rain, it can still get wet.

The feeling of the fabric clinging to the skin is really uncomfortable.

Ziyao is not a Valkyrie in the traditional sense, so she does not have armor and can only wear ordinary clothes.

Mei took out her katana, and to make it easier to move around, she handed the umbrella to Ziyao.

After spending a week together, the girl probably guessed the truth.

Nightingale teacher is weak, but at the same time, she is very powerful.

If she doesn't transform, it seems that even Bronya could easily take her down if she wanted to.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. It's just a few Honkai Beasts."

Kiana patted her chest, and the cute white rabbit on her chest trembled, with wet droplets falling to the ground.

"Well, please."
