Chapter 51: The Other Shore - Yellow Springs

Autumn 2015

Changkong City

One day, as if a meteorite had fallen, a person descended from the sky, averting a crisis.

"Sister, why are you... sleeping here?"

She opened her eyes and saw a girl with light pink hair and red eyes wearing a hood squatting in front of her, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Who...are you...who am I..."

The figure lying on the ground muttered to itself.

"My name is Kong, and I'm a survivor from this area. This is my partner, Mark Rabbit..."

The light pink-haired girl pointed to the small robot in front of her.

"Could I...lend a mirror?"

The figure sat up, clutching his confused head, and said somewhat bewilderedly.

"Okay... okay."

Looking at her, Kong felt a sense of security, which became more and more pronounced the closer he got to her.

It's very warm and reassuring.

"This is... me?"

The figure looked at the girl in the mirror, who had long, dark purple hair with pink highlights, and delicate features with purple-pink eyes, and murmured to herself in confusion.

"Well..."

Fragments of memories kept flashing through her mind, and the flickering images left the girl feeling confused.

"Sister, are these two knives... yours? Mark Rabbit and I found them nearby..."

Kong walked over carrying two long swords.

One knife handle has purplish-black patterns, while the other has black and red patterns.

Judging from the exquisite hilt alone, its imposing presence is considerable, but fortunately it has a scabbard to conceal its sharpness.

"be mine."

The girl with long, purplish-black hair brushed aside the strands of hair that were obscuring her vision and took the knife from her empty hand.

Although she didn't recognize the two knives, her intuition told her that they were important to her.

Beneath the black and red hilt is a black and red scabbard. Although it is a scabbard, it is not fully concealed. Just a touch is enough to feel the terrifying intent it contains.

The sword with the purplish-black hilt had a pure blue and white scabbard, and the girl felt a sense of security the moment she touched it.

At the same time, the girl also noticed a flower beside her, its colors of black, red, blue and white interwoven, shimmering slightly.

The moment she picked it up, its name popped into the girl's mind, and she couldn't help but read it aloud.

"The Other Shore, the Underworld..."

"Hmm... Sister, do you remember now?"

Sora was originally searching everywhere for supplies, but now a long time has passed since he found the girl, and it is getting dark.

If we don't go back soon, there will be a lot of Honkai Beasts tonight.

"The other shore...the underworld..."

The girl with purplish-black hair muttered to herself, and finally placed the flower on the pocket of her collar, making it look like an exquisite decoration.

"Then... Sister Huang Quan?"

Kong didn't know what to call her, so he could only guess.

"Thank you. I've also...forgotten my name. It's fine if you call me that. Just call me Huang Quan for now."

The girl with purplish-black hair tucked one knife behind her back and held the other knife in her left hand.

"I'm looking for someone...she might be able to help me..."

The girl with purplish-black hair, or rather, Huang Quan in his current state, spoke.

Although she didn't know what the current situation was or what problems had occurred with her memory, Huang Quan felt a voice calling out a name from within her.

But she couldn't remember the name.

If she remembers, it might resolve many of her doubts.

"Sister Huangquan, it's getting dark. Do you want to come back with me?"

Kong looked at the older sister who was several heads taller than her when she stood up, and said with some joy.

Kong felt a strong sense of security from Sister Huangquan and inexplicably found it easy to trust her.

"Um..."

After standing up, Huang Quan realized that he was about 1.7 meters tall, with long hair and a...

Ah, very good.

Huang Quan looked down and realized he could barely see her toes.

Following behind Kong, Huang Quan kept frowning, constantly recalling what had happened.

Many of the images flashing before her eyes were of an orphanage. Unlike the children playing in the orphanage, she always viewed the whole situation from an outsider's perspective.

His eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Am I... the administrator of the orphanage? The director?"

Influenced by this perspective, Huang Quan did not consider herself one of those children.

"The one I'm looking for... is also a child..."

Huang Quan, lost in thought, didn't sense anything amiss. On the contrary, when she thought of this, her intuition told her that it was the right thing to do.

"Sister, quickly hide! There are Honkai Beasts ahead..."

Kong pulled Huang Quan into hiding in the ruins of the building, watching as many Honkai Beasts sped away.

After they left, Sora breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, a Honkai Beast glowing with purple light appeared.

"ah!"

Kong was somewhat worried and wanted to pull Huang Quan along, but the girl with purple-black hair didn't budge.

"Sister Huang Quan?"

Kong was somewhat doubtful. Although she tried to tell her that she should run faster, her intuition told her that she could trust the girl in front of her.

"A low-level Honkai Beast..."

After glancing at the Honkai Beasts in the distance, Huang Quan unconsciously made his own judgment.

Upon seeing Huang Quan, the Honkai Beast was clearly stunned, but it quickly locked its attention on the empty space behind the purple-black-haired girl.

"Kong, move a little further away."

Huang Quan gripped the black and red hilt of the sword and slowly walked forward.

As Sora approached the Honkai Beast, he noticed that it wasn't attacking Yomi-nee on its own; instead, it seemed to be standing there blankly.

"rest in peace."

The black-haired girl hadn't even drawn her sword yet; with a mere swipe, the Honkai Beast was cleaved in two, vanishing as purple light.

"Sister Huang Quan... is so amazing..."

Watching the elegant movements of the girl with purple-black hair, Kong couldn't help but say.

"..."

Compared to Kong, Huang Quan was actually more puzzled.

She had actually intended to draw her sword, but her intuition told her that something bad might happen if she did.

"Sister Huangquan, let's go home."

Sora happily pulled the purplish-black-haired girl away.

"go home..."

Upon hearing this familiar word, Huang Quan was inexplicably moved and became somewhat dazed.

Someone must have said something similar to her before, and it must have been someone extremely important.

......

Destiny Headquarters

"Reporting to the bishop, a very brief but intense Honkai energy reaction occurred in Changkong City about two hours ago, but the time was too short for data analysis to confirm."

Amber looked at the blond man sitting in the bishop's chair and reported.

"How tall?"

Otto gently swirled the red wine in his hand, took a sip, and said with a nonchalant expression.

3000hw.

Otto narrowed his eyes only after hearing the number from Amber.

"Is it enough to produce a Herrscher? Let's leave it for now. If there are any further anomalies, then we'll investigate."

Under normal circumstances, 1000 hw is enough to create an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, and 2000 hw is also sufficient to create an ordinary Herrscher. Maintaining 3000 hw is either due to a major Honkai event combined with the creation of a high-level Herrscher, or someone conducting Honkai energy experiments in Changkong City, or using high-intensity Honkai energy weapons.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, a sustained Honkai attack of 3000 hw would be more than enough to destroy the entire Far East.

After all, this is equivalent to a Herrscher constantly maintaining full power output, and the resulting destruction is unimaginable.

However, since the survey data of 3000hw was only fleeting, Otto didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Obtaining the second Divine Key is the most important thing right now.
