"Although Grandpa wanted to atone for his sins in the end, sins are still sins. And I, watching Grandpa being killed by Mr. Gu Yu, could do nothing about it."

“Grandpa was guilty of a great sin and deserved to die. Mr. Gu Yu was a hero who saved humanity and also my savior. I know I shouldn’t have lost my temper with him, after all, Grandpa himself was determined to die at the time, and Mr. Gu Yu killed him just to fulfill his wish.”

"Even though my rational mind tells me I should thank him, I still... don't know how to face him."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Lin's eyes.

“I lost everything... the justice I believed in, the organization, the people I loved... I lost it all.”

"Dean, what should I do now?"

PS1: I don't know what to say, but a PS is essential.

PS2: Let's be the last man tonight and charge!

Chapter 102. Can't you rest yet?

"Have you lost everything...?"

Faced with her student, who was battered and bruised by reality, Theresa went to the bed and gently embraced Lynn.

"What are you saying, Lin? You are my student, and I will always stand by your side."

"The Destiny organization has indeed become corrupt, but we Valkyries are still warriors who fight for humanity. Dr. Magee ultimately chose to atone with her death, but he certainly hopes you will live on."

"In life, you will encounter many choices. Whether you give up your identity as a Valkyrie here and return to being an ordinary person, or continue to fight for this world, it all depends on your own choice."

"But, Lin, before making a decision, ask yourself what you really want to do, and what you are going to do. After that, don't forget that St. Freya Academy will always be your strong support."

"Well, I see..."

Feeling the warmth emanating from Theresa, Lin nodded slightly and then smiled through her tears.

"Teacher Theresa is always like this; within your small body lies a strong will."

But, Theresa, not everyone is as strong as you.

"...Hey you kids, what exactly do you say about me behind my back?"

Upon hearing the words that made her extremely unhappy, Theresa grabbed Lynn's cheeks and pinched them hard.

"Disrespectful to elders! How can you be considered an outstanding graduate of St. Freya Academy?!"

Lin, this is all I can do for you.

No one can help you overcome this hurdle; only you can get through it.

……

After being pushed out of the room by Theresa, Gu Yu did not immediately go out onto the street.

In fact, when Gu Yu was holding Lin with one hand earlier, she felt the body she was holding tremble slightly.

Hmm, I guess she bumped her stomach accidentally when she was hugging him with one hand.

The reason he went along with Theresa's suggestion was not only because he thought Theresa's words made some sense, but also because he guessed what Theresa wanted to do.

Lin is a graduate of St. Freya Academy, so compared to herself, who is seen as the murderer of Maki, Theresa, the academy headmistress, is clearly more suitable to guide her.

Moreover, Gu Yu now has one more thing she has to do.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered that I can't check into a hotel without identification."

Gu Yu, who had originally planned to book another room, suddenly made an embarrassing discovery.

He had no identification; the room Theresa had booked for him in advance.

Why does this script emphasize such details? Other scripts wouldn't waste words on these kinds of things at all!

Is this author padding the word count?!

"Oh well, doing something bad once in a while... it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

After using the Aurora Curtain to instantly teleport to the rooms on the three lower floors, Gu Yu deliberately chose a room that was not easily chosen by others and entered it directly using the Aurora Curtain.

Then, he took out two cards from the room.

The first card is a control card that seals the [Herrscher of Corruption] Himeko.

The second card is the one that seals the control card of Dr. Magi, a [lower-level assassin].

"Come to think of it, there's something I've never paid attention to. What happens to the living beings sealed inside cards?"

Gu Yu, who had shrouded herself in an aurora veil, creating a defensive barrier, extended her consciousness onto the cards.

Then, the scenery before my eyes gradually disappeared and completely changed.

………………

Mastering the Card Space

After the boy pointed the gun at his own head, Maggie felt that at least she could die as a human being.

But soon, Maggie realized she was wrong.

Why are you raising a gun but not firing it?!

And what's with that blank card? It seems to be radiating a dangerous aura!

Subsequently, Maki's consciousness was completely taken away.

But he knew very well that this did not mean death, on the contrary...

He always felt like he was completely unable to keep the few strands of hair on his head.

After more than ten minutes, Maki gradually regained consciousness.

Then, he looked at his hands and feet—well, unsurprisingly, he had become a zombie.

But at this moment, he didn't even realize that Honkai energy had invaded his brain.

Dr. Maki is an expert in Honkai energy research, so he knows very well that under the corrosive effect of the Honkai energy emanating from the Herrscher core, even if his body has been treated to enhance its resistance to Honkai energy, he will eventually be turned into an irrational suicide soldier.

But now, the Honkai energy seems to be stuck under his neck, showing no intention of moving upwards at all.

"Strange, is the Honkai energy of the Herrscher of Death so weak in its corrosive power?"

Despite having previously contemplated suicide, Dr. Magee's suicidal thoughts gradually faded after discovering her new research subject.

"Thinking about it carefully, if I could find a reason, maybe I could figure out a way to turn the assassins back into humans... Damn it, I still have so much to do..."

"Yes, you do have a lot to do."

Just as Maki was feeling incredibly regretful, a chilling voice came from behind him.

Then, Maki turned around and saw an unexpected but logical person who should be there—Gu Yu.

"Oh, you don't want to die?"

Seeing Dr. Magee turn her head away with an embarrassed expression, Gu Yu said with a cold smile.

"How old are you? Don't you know that death is tantamount to escapism? There are so many ways to atone for your sins, but you chose something that has nothing to do with atonement. Do you think that will wash away the sins on your hands, old man?"

“You’re right, I was indeed running away, but…”

Dr. Magee said with remorse as she recalled the innocent girls she had harmed over the past forty years.

"What other way do I have to atone for my sins?!"

"Your sins are inexhaustible. Even if you want to atone, can you find someone to atone for them?"

After walking up to Maki, Gu Yu said coldly.

"The Valkyries you killed, you want to seek their forgiveness?"

"The experimental subjects who died at your hands, can you bring them back to this world?"

"No, you can't do anything. Maki, your hands are stained with the blood of innocent girls, and your sins can never be washed away."

"But even a scumbag like you can still continue to contribute to this world."

"The world won't become much better if one scumbag dies, but if you can continue your research, you might be able to salvage a little bit of the situation."

"A certain study... Heh, my research is all about that... You mean?!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Maki uttered a name.

"HSN-b46 serum?!"

"Looks like you're not a complete idiot after all."

After chuckling and patting Maki on the shoulder, Gu Yu said to Maki.

"Be thankful that even a scumbag like you can still make a difference in this world."

"You have so much to do, so you can't rest yet, Dr. Marge."

PS1: Let me say something that might cause a drop in ratings.

When I was writing about Dr. Magee before, I saw a group of readers say that Dr. Magee was a hypocrite.

In my personal opinion, he doesn't really qualify as that kind of creature.

Don't rush to criticize, let me finish.

Personally, I actually hope he's a hypocrite.

Let me first talk about the original plot of the Moon Shadow arc. After Rin was tricked by Otto into participating in the experiment, Dr. Magee watched, worried, and started sweating. And then...

—He did nothing to stop the experiment.

Yes, I've confirmed it; he didn't stop the experiment.

Just as Otto was smiling and saying, "Ah, this girl is so kind; she came to participate in the experiment after just a few words," he roared, "Don't say another word!"

Doctor, if you had stopped me this time, I would have really thought you were more humane. Why don't you just do something? Why are you just watching?
