A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

At least this time, he doesn't have to face the combination of the Herrscher of Reason and Odin like last time...

Are you worried that you might accidentally crash or burn something?

PS4: The fourth update is here.

Don't expect me to open any more bounties. I'll open one before I've paid off all my debts. Paying off debts is my job; how can I continue to open bounties when I still owe more...?

It's definitely not that I chickened out.

Absolutely not.

Chapter 345. I'm very curious.

Outside Gu Yu's room, Bronya looked at Gu Yu sitting inside and kept wanting to go inside.

But when she thought about how serious the other person's expression was reflected on the computer screen, Bronya gave up the idea of ​​disturbing them.

You just came back from the Sea of ​​Quanta, why doesn't Brother Gu Yu take a proper rest these next few days?

Even if I'm going to the Oceania branch in two days, there's no need to be so nervous now.

Even when confronting Mei and Yuno, whose bodies had been taken over by the Herrscher personality, Kouyu didn't show this expression.

What is he so afraid of...? Does that strange creature called Orphnoch really need to be dealt with so seriously?

"Bronya, what are you doing outside?"

Having already noticed the gaze behind her, Gu Yu asked without turning her head.

"Is something the matter? Or is Seele's health unstable right now?"

“Xi’er’s health is perfectly fine, but Brother Gu Yu…”

Knowing she had been discovered, Bronya walked confidently into Gu Yu's room and sat on his bed.

"Don't you really need to rest? The headmaster said before that she would be leading the entire elite force of the Far East branch on this mission."

"Judging from the fact that Wendy and Senior Lin only needed to use the strength of an A-rank Valkyrie to defeat the enemy, after the headmaster sends the Hyperion over, you probably won't need to do anything personally, right?"

Listening to Bronya's analysis, what could Gu Yu do but smile bitterly?

Even if Wendy and Lynn don't use their respective Herrscher powers, it doesn't mean they are weak.

Both of them became the strongest A-rank Valkyries below S-rank in their teens, which can only mean that they have extremely high combat talent.

Wendy, in particular, managed to reach the A-rank Valkyrie level despite failing her academic subjects, relying solely on her combat scores—this indirectly demonstrates just how outrageous her strength was before she was chosen by the Gem of Desire.

Not every A-rank Valkyrie will be evaluated as 'potential to become an S-rank Valkyrie in the future'.

However, even though Gu Yu's companions have considerable combat strength, it doesn't mean that this mission is completely risk-free.

Since there's already the Herrscher of Reason, Shirou Kanzaki, who knows if a combination like the Herrscher of Ice, Banno, or the Herrscher of Rock, Joker, might emerge?

If a Herrscher-level monster leader were to appear, and they were no match for a Hyperion warship with ordinary Herrschers, they would probably only be able to sweep up the grunts on the battlefield.

Ultimately, the only reliable fighting force we can rely on is probably Theresa, whose intelligence and way of thinking are both normal at the moment.

"By the way, you've come at the perfect time."

After picking up her phone from the table, Gu Yu tossed it behind her.

"I know you're a good hacker, could you help me encrypt my phone—without interfering with my daily use?"

"……OK!"

Bronya's eyes suddenly gleamed as she looked at the black Nokia phone that she had bought and then given to Gu Yu.

"Bronya, do it right now!"

"No, there's no need to be like this..."

After hearing the girl run off from her room, Gu Yu felt that Bronya was being overly enthusiastic.

"Never mind, it's nothing to worry about."

"Let me see how we deal with this situation after the high-ranking Orphnochs form their alliance..."

…………

After running out of Gu Yu's room, Bronya immediately connected Gu Yu's phone to her computer.

I had already done some basic encryption on Gu Yu's phone, but for the two major organizations, Destiny and Anti-Entropy, this level of encryption was indeed not enough.

And, Brother Gu Yu... I'm sorry!

Bronya was still very curious about whether the woman named Kiana Schariac was actually Kiana from their dorm.

Filled with remorse, curiosity, and guilt, Bronya accessed Gu Yu's call logs through the system backend.

In the call logs, Gu Yu had indeed contacted a phone number labeled "Kiana Schariac" several times.

If the probability isn't that high, then that means Gu Yu's relationship with the other party... isn't as good as imagined?

Well, then I can probably rest assured. Besides, the numbers are different, and several of the calls took place when Kiana was lazing around in her dorm and taking a nap.

It wasn't just one person.

Having the same name... that can't possibly be a coincidence.

However, this has nothing to do with Bronya.

As long as her relationship with Gu Yuge wasn't particularly close, Bronya didn't care who this person was.

After confirming the information she wanted, Bronya encrypted his phone as Gu Yu had instructed.

After this mission is over, Gu Yu should be able to rest for a while.

By then, I think the others should be ready to make their move as well.

At this moment, Bronya, who was walking towards Gu Yu's room, had a cold glint in her eyes.

Whether it's Wendy or Mei-neechan.

Bronya will absolutely not let go!

St. Freya Academy - Dean's Office

In the office, Theresa looked at Ghost's haggard face and felt that she had been over-exploiting him.

"Theresa, I've done everything you asked me to do. The intelligence gathering is almost complete."

However, despite looking extremely haggard, the ghost did not complain about her poor mental state.

"However, a new situation has arisen."

"what happened?"

"I won't go into the details, but you need to know one thing—our Far East branch's secret mission to support Oceania has been discovered by other organizations."

"what?"

It wasn't that Theresa was too naive, but for this mission, she sent two A-rank Valkyries to Oceania.

Wendy and Lynn are both trustworthy good students, and their whereabouts are known only to Theresa, Himeko, Ghost, Ossiani, and the pilot of the plane that took them to New Zealand—a total of five people.

"The chances of Ossiani betraying us are slim. I've even checked the pilot's underwear; he's clean. Don't even think about an inside man; our intelligence has been stolen by someone else."

PS1: This is the fifth update. I've finally made up for the updates I missed due to my previous leave.

PS2: The Beetle King in the previous chapter was wrong. I knew something was wrong. King Orpheus is a locust.

PS3: A new concept introduced in the DCD era - the undead can be killed by the forces of other worlds, but after being killed, they will be resurrected in other parts of the world.

Honestly, this is even more sinister than the original story's "cannot be killed" part. What happens if you accidentally use too much force and kill someone...

It's not easy for you to find him...

Chapter 346. I refuse.

As one of Schicksal's intelligence experts, Ghost certainly knew that sometimes it was not necessary to intercept enemy intelligence directly.

In fact, in intelligence warfare, for experts, as long as there are enough 'fragments', they can piece together a complete puzzle from these fragments.

In other words, those who seize intelligence from the Far East branch of Destiny don't need to send in spies at all.

He only needed to select fragments of information that the lower-level staff of the Far East branch inadvertently revealed in their daily work to piece together a roughly accurate intelligence report.

Of course, this amazing, almost cheat-like method of intelligence gathering also comes at a huge cost.

The price to pay is that the cost of acquiring fragmented intelligence is too high.

Not every piece of intelligence can be used as a puzzle piece. Piecing together intelligence consumes a lot of manpower and resources, and the final conclusion may not even be correct.

If that person didn't have a sufficiently extensive intelligence network, and also had dedicated personnel using special computers to organize intelligence, the actual operational difficulty of organizing information by deducing specific details from fragments would be directly proportional to the degree of concealment of the information.

This is also why many people prefer to choose other simple and direct methods to obtain intelligence.

"Now that you know someone is targeting our Far East branch, can you track down the enemy's whereabouts or details?"

"Yes, but it's completely useless."

Hearing Theresa's question, the ghost sighed softly.

"To draw conclusions from fragments, too many fragments are needed, and many information specialists who acquire fragmented information are simply not professional enough."

"I casually used Honkai energy to mimic the identities of some people and found out their hometowns."

"But just as I was trying to trick them into revealing information, they simultaneously raised their pistols, shouted 'hail hebi'... and then shot themselves."

"Hebi... This means snake in the Far Eastern language. Of course, that's not the point."
