Do you remember what I told you before?
"The Artificial Herrscher Project—the probability of its success is too low!"
The thought of Otto and the old man Dr. Machi working together to carry out the plan made Theresa feel a little suffocated.
"Has the Tower of Babel incident still not made you forget this insane plan?!"
"That's different."
Despite being hit where it hurt, Otto seemed completely unconcerned and continued to look at Theresa with a kind expression.
“Theresa, the Babel Tower incident was just an accident. Sirin was an ordinary girl, and it was inevitable that she would be corrupted by the Honkai consciousness.”
"But this time, the Valkyries we selected are all top-tier A-rank warriors. You may not believe me, but don't you trust your comrades and your students?"
“They are all strong warriors, how could they possibly succumb to the corrosive influence of the collapsing consciousness like Sirin did?”
"Yes, Dean, don't worry."
Seeing the anger and worry in Theresa's eyes, Wendy waved at Theresa with a grin.
“The bishop is right. I joined Schicksal to fight against the Honkai. If I can wield the power of the Herrschers, I can save more people.”
Seeing Wendy agree to the plan so easily, Dr. Maki's face immediately lit up with an incredibly bright smile.
Wendy's incredible talent was known even to Dr. Markey, who spent most of his time in the lab.
If it were this girl, she might actually be able to make the plan succeed.
Then, upon hearing Lynn speak, Dr. Maki's smile froze.
“Headmaster, just like Wendy said. We Valkyries are warriors who fight to protect humanity. Bishop Otto’s plan is feasible, so I think it’s not unreasonable for me to accept this experiment for the sake of this world.”
Why would his granddaughter Lin say such a thing...?
—No, he never told Lin about this plan, so how did Lin know?!
"Otto, you!"
Upon realizing the crucial point, Dr. Maki glared at Otto in utter fury.
“I didn’t say anything to Lynn, Dr. Maki.”
"Yes, Grandpa, I found this out myself."
Seeing the expression on Dr. Maki's face, Lynn's expression became extremely solemn.
"You are the leader of this project, and I believe that Grandpa's research can make this world a better place."
"So even if you ask me to withdraw now, I will definitely refuse."
Looking at his granddaughter's incredibly determined expression, Dr. Maki suddenly felt all his strength drain away.
Then, Dr. Maki, who looked as if he had aged more than ten years, lost his balance and fell directly onto the cold ground.
Is this karma?
"Theresa, you've seen it too. The students you teach are really good."
Seeing the incredibly complex expression on Theresa's face, Otto spoke gently.
"Lin is the Valkyrie of headquarters, so I directly granted her permission to participate in the experiment."
After approaching Theresa, Otto lovingly cradled her chin and continued speaking.
"Wendy is still affiliated with St. Freya Academy, so Dean, where is your permission?"
After saying this, Theresa saw Otto's silent speech.
Don't forget, Kiana is still at headquarters.
"I understand...Grandpa..."
Even though the person in front of her should be one of her closest people, Theresa felt that Otto was becoming more and more of a stranger.
“Wendy, in my capacity as the head of the Far East branch, I authorize you to participate in the Artificial Herrscher Project…”
No, perhaps Otto now...
That's his true Otto.
--------
PS1: I really wanted to bring the main character on screen, but I think it's best to pause here for this chapter.
PS2: Wendy's full name, Wendy Wind, is something I made up. Seriously, do supporting characters have no rights? They don't even give her a surname? She's supposed to be a Herrscher!
PS3: I think I'll change the storyline like this, otherwise, like the main storyline where Theresa actively promotes Wendy... that just doesn't work. *washes away*
PS4: I'm going to keep going. Everyone should go to sleep. Sleep is the most important thing.
Chapter 53. Yuno, Resurrected
After following Himeko Murata to the Far East Branch's infirmary, Kouyu quietly retreated to a position close to Yae Sakura.
Then, without anyone noticing, he grabbed Yae Sakura's right hand.
“g…”
After being silenced by Gu Yu's gaze, Yae Sakura immediately shut up, feeling Gu Yu rapidly writing words in her palm.
When you get to the infirmary, keep an eye on the other people's conditions.
Upon seeing the blond man, immediately revert to your energy form; do not materialize.
After writing these two sentences, Gu Yu immediately and gently withdrew his hand from Yae Sakura's palm.
However, he didn't notice that a girl in front of him had already noticed everything.
"Alright, this is the medical department of the Far East branch."
After glancing at Yuno, who was still being held by the Heavy Bunny, Himeko Murata spoke to her subordinates.
"Let's arrange a full check-up for these ladies and this gentleman."
"Um, Major Murata..."
As if she had some unspeakable secret, the staff member pulled Himeko Murata aside and whispered something.
"The orders from above are that everyone else can have their checks done without any problem. But that Mr. Gu Yu has to wait another twenty minutes."
"Above? In our Far East branch, besides Theresa, I'm the one who calls the shots. Who's above us?"
Yes, there is.
After reluctantly presenting the electronic instructions, the staff member said helplessly.
"Major, if possible, we would like to avoid disobeying your orders."
"Fine, I understand."
Seeing the suspicious looks from the others, Himeko walked confidently to their side and spoke.
"First, take the unconscious girl to the infirmary. We'll give her a full checkup. But you, robot, must be put away."
Bronya understands.
After placing Yuno on the hospital bed, Bronya signaled for Heavy Bunny to temporarily disappear from everyone's sight.
"Also, the checks for everyone else will proceed as usual. As for Mr. Gu Yu, I'm sorry, we have a bit of a situation here, so please wait a moment."
"no problem."
Knowing that her situation was rather special, Gu Yu waited quietly in place.
At that moment, Himeko Murata suddenly felt that something was missing from the scene.
Strange, this must be my imagination.
Five minutes later, the medical staff in charge of Yuno Medical Center came out of the ward and spoke to Himeko Murata.
"Major Himeko, the girl has woken up."
"But she doesn't want to say anything. I'm a little worried about what might be going on inside her..."
"oh, I understand now."
After nodding to indicate that she knew the news, Himeko looked at Kouyu.
"That girl is your companion, isn't she? What do you plan to do?"
"What else can we do? We'll take care of killing and burying them."
Hearing Gu Yu's words, Himeko Murata was immediately shocked.
The boys and girls who survived in Changkong City had almost all of their families killed.
This girl clearly needs comforting, and yet this boy says something so horrible?!
Isn't this plot a little off?
"Alright, just kidding. Miss Murata, I'll go over and talk to her."
After walking towards the door of the room, Gu Yu turned the doorknob and added a sentence.
"In my own way."
……
Inside the hospital room, Yuno, who had just woken up, stared blankly at the pale ceiling.
She felt like she had been having a terrible nightmare.
In the nightmare, Honkai energy erupted in Changkong City.
Her classmates all turned into suicide squad members.
Although she didn't become a suicide soldier, she was still controlled by the terrifying voice in her mind.
