Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Liu Bai thought for a moment and nodded to show his understanding.

"Then keep talking."

"Luring Kiana is just the simplest step. The real trouble is the Undying Blade led by the Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie Rita Rossweisse. If an unknown Honkai source appears in the Sky Zone, it is very likely that it will be drawn here as well."

"...We're going to have to fight the Undying Blade again."

Liu Bai felt that the Undying Blade had also suffered many misfortunes.

"Grey Serpent, if the Undying Blade is deployed, can you confirm its route?"

"Of course, why are you asking?"

In fact, Grey Serpent knew exactly where the Undying Blade lived. If it weren't for not wanting to cause any trouble, World Serpent could launch a deadly attack on the Undying Blade at any time.

"If the Undying Blade is deployed, then I'll go and hold them off. I do have some influence within the Undying Blade, I suppose."

"..."

Gray Snake looked at Liu Bai with a puzzled expression after hearing this.

Has this person's social circle become so wide?

Natasha, who was standing next to her, curled her lip upon hearing this.

“Alright, in that case, I will let you know when the Undying Blade is deployed.” Gray Serpent naturally didn’t think Liu Bai was making unfounded promises, so although he was slightly surprised, he nodded to show that he understood.

"Then there is another formidable enemy who may appear, Theresa, the vice principal of St. Freya Academy who is accompanying Kiana. However, compared to Rita, Theresa's probability of appearing is far lower."

"Generally speaking, setting such a flag means that the other party will definitely appear..."

"...If that's how you think, then there's no problem with it."

Gray Snake was actually a little behind Liu Bai's train of thought.

"Didn't even Theresa inform you about this?" Tōsa Raphael asked.

"Well, it's not good for too many people to know about this kind of thing... especially for people who have a hard time keeping secrets. Rather than creating unnecessary trouble, it's better to include her in the plan. If she comes, it will increase the credibility of the kidnapping; if she doesn't, it will be a relief."

"That's what the gray snake explained."

"Currently, there are only these three possible enemies. Next is our side... Mr. Liu Bai, I don't need to say more about the manpower you can rely on. In addition to Natasha and the death warriors as bait, the combat power that World Serpent can provide includes fully controllable death warrior mechs and Hunters—the official name should be Death Weavers."

Oh, that thing. No wonder they said it was stronger than A-rank. If there were a lot of those things, they could really kill ordinary S-rank characters like Rita.

It really is a weapon specifically designed to hunt down Valkyries...

"The World Serpent has already started modifying the assassins..."

This very serious sentiment clearly comes from Kujo Sara.

"Mr. Liu Bai, do you have enough manpower right now?"

"That should be enough. Sara, are you going to join?"

"Of course, although it feels rather strange to fight alongside a suicide squad... it is not against morality, and protecting you is also my duty."

It was rare to find such a reliable and honest person, which put Liu Bai at ease.

Liu Bai has no intention of using Huang Quan, and even if he does, it will only be to stop the Undying Blade.

"Actually, we are still a bit short-staffed."

Natasha and Kujo Sara are both excellent, Katsura Naofumi is a little less skilled, but she is still quite capable.

But for this kind of thing, it's definitely better to have more people.

"Could we call Miko and Sakura over? Or should we also ask Himeko?"

"I'll give it a try."

Kujo Sara nodded.

She felt it shouldn't be too difficult, after all, there aren't many opportunities to deepen understanding and cooperate—even though the person she was going to work with was someone she knew.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Ah~~ Time to get off work~!

Do you shout "School's out!" every day at home?

"Eh? How did you know?"

"Because you're clearly a poor student who looks like you're always looking forward to the end of the school day..."

Yelan crossed her arms and said something that deeply hurt Kiana.

"What are you saying! It's just because your class is so boring!"

"I'd really like to know what you mean by 'interesting'."

Kiana's eyelids twitched at Yelan's words.

Yes, her mother often says that to her too.

He started by saying, "Kiana..."

"Of course it was the Honkai!" Kiana puffed out her chest, looking defiant. "I'm going to become a great Valkyrie like my mother!"

"Hey...you're pretty good with words."

A slight smile appeared on Yelan's lips—which Kiana interpreted as somewhat mocking.

"you--"

"Here, take this."

Kiana was about to say something when she was interrupted by something Yelan threw at her.

Snapped!

"...I said, why don't you answer it?"

Ye Lan's smile vanished as she looked at the equipment lying on the ground.

"I'd catch anything weird you throw at me! I'm already being nice by not kicking it back!"

Kiana, seeing the device on the ground with its casing already broken, immediately sensed something was wrong.

But her years of experience causing trouble taught her that she couldn't back down in this kind of situation!

"You brat..." Ye Lan forced a smile, then walked to Kiana's side and stuffed an identical device into Kiana's arms. "It's okay, the bill will be sent to your mother."

The antiques that were broken before were obviously fake.

A bunch of hastily made fakes, a whole warehouse of counterfeits, might not even amount to ten thousand.

But this thing... is real.

Luckily, she was prepared, otherwise today's battle plan would have been ruined.

This truly high-precision equipment was independently developed by the Chamber of Commerce and has not even been put into large-scale production yet.

Pricing?

Sorry, not yet.

Go back and wait for your mom to spank your ass into eight pieces!

If your butt doesn't split into eight pieces, I'm quitting my job as the head of intelligence in Liyue!

"..."

Kiana immediately shivered.

Leng Qi's strong desire to have a wife made her reveal a flattering smile as she looked at Ye Lan.

踆

"Sister Yelan~~ What's this thing for~"

Ye Lanling mocked Meng, mimicking Kiana's coquettish voice, and said, "Oh, this thing~ You're just using a location-based Honkai-destroying item~ Aren't you supposed to be able to fight Honkai~?"

Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Dog is Causing Trouble

"I have this feeling that Yelan is taking revenge on me..."

Walking through the desolate western suburbs of the Sky Dome, Kiana felt that something was amiss.

"That guy started talking to me for no reason and did so much, this isn't like him at all."

It must be said that Kiana's intuition is quite sharp... but her brain isn't very good, and Yelan's attack was a "surprise attack" that was not malicious—at least not in the first half.

"Fine, since fighting Honkai is considered a job, beating up Honkai Beasts is better than going to work."

Kiana gave up after a brief moment of thought.

Anyway, she didn't believe Ye Lan would harm her; after all, who would repay the money if she were ruined?

I guess I've gone from being a receptionist to a security guard?

Kiana is quite familiar with this aspect, after all, she is a B-rank Valkyrie who can go into battle. Although she is still in school, she has done small jobs such as guarding and security.

These are all considered extracurricular activities at St. Freya Academy.

On the other hand, the location of the Honkai source shown on this instrument should be here, right?

As Kiana was shaking her head and searching for traces of Honkai, music suddenly started playing from her bracelet.

"Hey~ Auntie Period~"

"Don't call me Auntie!"

Theresa's angry face appeared in the opened communication.

"Where are you, you brat? Why aren't you home yet? Did you run away?"

"Who would run away!" Kiana pouted rebelliously. "Yelan asked me to come out and fight the Honkai, it's just a small security job."

"Attack...Honkai? So suddenly?"

Although Theresa has a small bust and hobbies befitting her size, her brain... well, if we exclude personality factors, well, it's just average.

But this person is special in one way—she's a seasoned soldier.

A true veteran—deep-fried by Otto himself—though now he's still the one being deep-fried in front of Otto.

So Theresa's sense of smell detected something amiss.

Send me your location!

Something is wrong, so wrong.

Although she knew that Kiana's "working to pay off her debts" here was suspicious in itself.

Theresa had initially thought it was one of those charades where the child played the victim and the parents pleaded for their child's life, and that the attack when she first arrived was just an accident.

In a couple of days, Cecilia will come to Ningguang's door and say something like, "My child knows she was wrong," and then everyone will make a dirty deal, and that's it!

After all, antiques are luxury goods, and luxury goods, to put it bluntly, are good for nothing except being expensive.

According to Theresa, although the Far East branch couldn't come up with cash, they had plenty of ways to settle accounts.

A little collusion between the two parties to carry out a couple of smuggling trips is definitely more reliable than dealing with luxury goods, and it's mutually beneficial for everyone. Putting aside everything else, you definitely can't buy this kind of shady deal opportunity for a billion dollars.

Moreover, Cecilia's position in the Far East Branch is second only to the head of the organization. The Far East Branch doesn't need to worry about the headquarters' attitude. If the sky falls, the head of the branch will take care of it. This little thing is nothing.

Kiana and Cecilia, mother and daughter, have shown sufficient apology; they should discuss settling the score.

This period should have been Kiana's time to act innocent and put on a good front, but suddenly she says she's going to fight the Honkai?

This is a complete and utter mess!

Theresa was really getting restless.

Based on her past experience of being made a fool of by her own grandfather, she knew at a glance that a dog was up to something!

"Yes, yes, yes, it's Aunt Flo~"

Kiana still had an indifferent expression on her face.

Theresa's face twitched, but she knew Kiana was even more foolish than she had been before, so she decisively and sternly ordered, "Send me your location immediately, then head back!"

"Um... we might not be able to leave now."

Kiana scratched her head, looking at the tiny "fluorescent" lights shining in the night around her.
