Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

The Herrscher of Knowledge took out the medicine prepared by Dan Shu.

"Ah, did Lord Danshu ask you to come?"

A smile broke out on the little girl's face.

"I heard there's been a lot of trouble lately, so she must be very busy. Thank you, big brother. Please also thank Lord Danshu for me."

The little girl reached out her hand to take the medicine from the Herrscher of Knowledge, and once again bowed her head to express her gratitude.

"Big sister, I'm leaving."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left, stumbling out of the sight of the Herrscher of Consciousness.

"Ugh!"

The Herrscher of Consciousness couldn't help but sigh softly, while Gao Su turned around and walked into the portal.

"I am back!"

"How is it? Has the medicine been delivered?"

Dan Shu asked hurriedly.

"Well, it's been delivered."

Gao Su briefly recounted what happened when he delivered the medicine.

"..."

Dan Shu fell silent for a moment.

"She reminds me of myself as a child. When I was young, I was groping in the dark just like her, facing obstacles that would come at any time, and people's unconscious malice."

she said with a sigh.

"When I was bullied or injured, I could only cry and beg the doctors at the Danding Division to heal me. As time went by, I ended up following this path myself."

"Thank you for protecting the child. My dear friend, can I ask you for one more favor?"

She turned and looked at Gao Su.

"Are you worried about the child's condition?"

Gao Su asked with some doubt.

"Yes."

Dan Shu nodded.

"Well... I'm worried about her coming and going alone, and I want to hear what's been bothering her lately."

"That child's parents died in the Abundant People's War... The relatives who took her in weren't very close to her. When I was treating her, I often became the one she confided in."

She knew so much because the little girl told her so herself.

"A doctor may prescribe medicine to protect a person's body, but sometimes the loneliness and trauma in one's heart can only be slowly healed through companionship and care."

"Do you know where to meet her?"

Gao Su asked knowingly, but the Herrscher of Knowledge only saw her walking away and didn't know where she went.

"She said that whenever she was troubled, she would go to the factory and find a corner to sit down and listen to the noises there."

Dan Shu nodded and said.

"The child's parents were once craftsmen at the Industrial Manufacturing Division. I guess she has a fondness for that place."

"I guess that's where she's going now. But no, there's unrest everywhere right now, and she's a blind child, so I can't let her run around."

When Gao Sugang and Dan Shu arrived near the Industrial Manufacturing Company, they saw a little girl trembling in a corner, being forced into a corner by a fish-like monster.

"Wuwuwu...Help..."

The little girl sobbed and called for help, her voice trembling with fear.

"...What happened? Is the child in danger?"

Dan Shu heard the little girl's cry for help and immediately realized what was going on.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gao Su clenched his fist and rushed straight to the monster, punching it.

The monster was knocked several meters away by a punch and stumbled into the corner.

But Gao Su's attack did not stop. He gathered the collapse energy in his body into his fist, jumped up and punched the monster.

The monster couldn't withstand the powerful Honkai energy and turned into starlight and disappeared.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoyu."

While Gao Su was destroying the monster, Dan Shu was also comforting the little girl.

"Wuwuwu... Thank you, big brother... Thank you, Lord Danshu..."

Although the little girl was still sobbing, her mood had obviously become much calmer.

"With Gao Su here, there's no need to be afraid." Dan Shu comforted him softly again.

"But...when I think about how much trouble I've caused to Sister Danshu...and Big Brother, and how much I've dragged you down, I feel really ashamed..."

The little girl sobbed very sensibly.

"Is that all? Well... you'd better get used to it first."

Dan Shu reached out and touched her head.

"Because for the next few hundred years, people like us who can't see will continue to be a drag on everyone we meet."

"If this little bit of guilt makes you sad, don't even take one step on this long road."

Although her words were a bit hurtful, they were ultimately for the good of the little girl.

"Is this still a consolation?" Gao Su turned his head and looked at Dan Shu.

"This is not comfort, this is...reality." Dan Shu withdrew his hand.

“Walking alone in the darkness, fearing sudden obstacles, unable to understand what others described…”

"Everyone and everything is like being enveloped in dark embers, invisible but capable of burning you."

"For the Immortals, this kind of life will last for nearly a thousand years. She must learn to survive on her own, and not expect anyone to help her."

The second half of the sentence didn't seem to be spoken to the little girl, but more like it was spoken to Gao Su.

"But aren't you helping her too?" Gao Su asked with some confusion.

"Yeah...I'm definitely trying to change the situation for people like her."

Dan Heng did not deny it.

"But... before that, she must first learn to endure the darkness, just like me."

"I... Sister Danshu... I can rely on myself. Only myself can be relied upon..."

The little girl finally stopped crying and nodded firmly.

"Very good. I hope you will always remember this. Never forget it."

Dan Shu nodded with satisfaction.

"This place is too dangerous, Gao Su, let's go back to Changletian."

She turned her head and looked at Gao Su.

"Ah."

Gao Su summoned a portal and together with Dan Shu sent the little girl back home.

Return to Ruomuting.

"Thank you again for your help." Dan Heng came to his seat and sat down.

"People like us who are born without a natural talent are inevitably bullied in our youth. Even after enduring countless hardships and ascending to the high position of Chief of the Danshi, we are still helpless in many situations."

"That's why I said those words to her... They must have been harsh to you, right? But compared to what she will face in the future, my words were nothing more than a gentle breeze and rain."

After all, as a blind person herself, she has a deep understanding of this.

"Doesn't Xianzhou have any technical skills like prosthetic eyes?"

Gao Su thought for a moment and asked with some doubt.

"The physical condition of the Immortal Race is determined from birth. Appearance, intelligence, height... all of this is permanently fixed in their flesh and blood genes from the moment of birth."

Dan Shu shook his head and explained.

"Many defects that can be corrected through ingenuity or surgery in short-lived species are, on the contrary, incurable for the Immortal Boat people."

This is also one of the defects of the immortal species.

"Because no matter what means are used, no matter how ingenious the implants are, our bodies will recover and return to their original state."

"I once didn't believe in superstition and installed a prosthetic eye. But soon after, the blind eye grew back into its original state, leaving me in excruciating pain."

"And since then, this moment of regaining light has become a memory that forever burns into my heart."

　[VIVIII撮焐拔*琳寺澪wu She turned around and looked at Gao Su.

"For the immortal race, 'Tian Que' means eternal suffering, unavoidable."

"Hmph, how ironic... Many of the 'People of Abundance'—the so-called 'Evil Creatures'—will not be subjected to this torment. Ha, as for 'The Deficiency of Heaven', it's probably a curse prepared by the Plague Ancestor for betrayers."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"You look so pale."

Gao Su noticed that Dan Shu looked a little pale.

"No, it's okay... It was just a slip of the tongue."

Dan Shu shook his head.

"Thank you for accompanying me on this journey, Gao Su. I think my wish in Changletian has been fulfilled for the time being."

"By the way, I have a gift for you. But I need some time to prepare it... I'll contact you once the thank-you gift is ready."

"Then let's not spend the time together for now, Gao Su."

Dan Shu needed some time to prepare the thank-you gift, and Gao Su had nothing to do, so he simply went shopping nearby and waited for Dan Shu's contact.

"Dudu!"

Gao Su had just left for five minutes when he received a message from Dan Shu on his phone.

Dan Shu: Gao Su, I have already prepared the gift you mentioned before.

Dan Shu: If you are free, please come to Ruomuting. I want to hand it to you in person.

Gao Su: I’ll be there soon.

Gao Su raised his hand and summoned a portal, appearing next to Dan Heng.

"Gao Su, you're here." Dan Shu slowly turned his head when he heard the footsteps.

"You've been busy and toiled lately, and I wanted to offer you something helpful."

"Studying the evidence provided by the Divine Strategy Palace gave me some inspiration. I compared it with relevant historical documents and prepared a tonic."

As she spoke, she took out a pill, which was the health-enhancing medicine she mentioned.

"I have named it the 'Longevity Pill' and would like to give it to you."

"Taking it will strengthen your body, prolong your life and maintain your health. For Wumingke, I'm sure it will make your journey easier."

She handed the pill to Gao Su.

"Well, I still have some things to take care of, so... let's say goodbye here."

"I hope that next time we meet, I'll have a chance to see your face clearly."

"You only need to ask me to see my appearance clearly now."

Gao Su smiled mysteriously, and Dan Shu just took it as a cold joke to comfort himself:

"Yes, I beg you."

"not enough."
