I have no regrets about my 2D world!

If you had more power than Mei when she became a Herrscher, then would you not need to ask others for help?

On the other hand, if you don't have enough ability, then when that happens, what else can you do except yell, "I can't do anything?" There is no other way.

"But... I have no way of using the things you taught me..." Looking at Bai's sincere eyes, Kiana's voice unconsciously lowered.

"Do you believe me, Kiana?"

"...I don't really believe it."

"...It doesn't matter. I can guarantee that what I teach you now will be useful to you in the future." Baimian retracted his arm without changing his expression, and resisted the urge to pat Kiana on the head.

"What if it doesn't work?"

"If you don't need it, come to me. As payment for forcing you to learn insignificant things during this period, I can fulfill one of your not-too-excessive wishes."

"What's not excessive?"

"Don't actively harm others, don't interfere with other people's relationships. As long as it's not those two things, anything else is fine."

"Then it's agreed!"

"Yeah, it's agreed."

"...I'll forgive you this time. I'm leaving now. I've been hanging around outside for so long. I'm going to sleep now."

Although it was not the answer she wanted, this result was enough to satisfy Kiana, and she also wanted to go back and think about what had just happened. She had not intended to cry at first, so why did she start crying while talking?

But before she could make a move, Bai's hand was on her shoulder again. She looked up in confusion and found that Bai had a playful smile on his face.

"Kiana, since you're fine now, let's solve other problems. For example, I don't remember when I went to Xilin's room at night, so... would you mind telling me what you were thinking just now?"

Kiana's expression suddenly froze, and she instinctively took a step back.

"Ahahaha, well, there's actually another reason..."

......

The noise gradually faded away, and Xilin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, withdrew her attention and lowered her head slightly.

'They... have known each other for a long time?'

Chapter 114: Even geniuses can miscalculate

On the boundless snowfield, several figures who looked thinly dressed but were actually fully armed were standing there, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Each person held a detector-like object in his hand. After investigating in various places for a while, they returned here. One of them, who seemed to be the backbone of the group, said something to the others and then took out a communication device.

"Calling headquarters, this is the Snow Wolf Squad, we have arrived in Siberia."

"Headquarters received, reporting your situation."

"Yes, after testing, no escaped Houkai energy was found around Siberia. We have decided to continue to the Tower of Babylon."

"Understood. You are allowed to proceed. Maintain communication during the journey and report the situation every ten minutes."

"Received, report completed."

After putting away the communicator, the man no longer had a stern face and returned to his natural smile.

"Okay, everyone, let's take a break and then we can move on."

"Patrick, why do I feel like you look very happy?"

"Of course, Shigure. The captain is on leave, so it's my turn to lead you on this mission. This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity."

"Shouldn't it be said that this only happens once in a century?"

"The problem is that I may not live to be a hundred years old."

The girl called Patrick looked very cool and didn't care about her age at all. Shi Yu, who was talking to her, also had a smile on his face and didn't seem to take this mission too seriously.

A girl carrying a sword on the side looked at the two heartless people and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, you two, at least take this mission seriously. This is a direct order from the bishop."

"Hey, Lixue, we finally get together once, please stop preaching."

Patrick put his hands together in a pleading gesture.

"I'm not preaching, I'm just reminding you."

"Okay, okay, it seems that Lixue, you can't wait any longer. Let's finish the mission early and go on vacation together." Patrick shook his head helplessly and looked at the remaining two people in the team.

"Salome, Nicholas, did you two get enough rest?"

"no problem."

"I can't wait any longer."

The two responded without hesitation, which made Patrick smile. He then raised his hand and waved, "Let's go!"

A few people followed, and after just a few minutes, there were no more people around.

And at the place where I just stopped, under the snow, a finger-sized object was faintly flashing red light.

They are one of the most elite teams of Destiny. All of them are A-level Valkyries, which is second only to S-level. Each of them has rich combat experience, and Patrick is even called a genius among this group of people.

But even so, the closer Patrick got to the Tower of Babylon, the more solemn his expression became.

"Something's wrong, something's very wrong.

After all, Babylon Labs is also researching Honkai, so it would be fine if there was no excessive Honkai energy reaction in special circumstances, but there is not even a Honkai beast around."

"Perhaps it's not due to the collapse. Speaking of disappearances, isn't there a famous doctor named Schrödinger?

It's said that she quantized herself while researching quantum-related things, and hasn't found a way to return to the world yet. Isn't that also considered missing?"

"It's different. Babylon Labs only conducts experiments related to Honkai. Any special events that occur are bound to be related to Honkai."

"Is it possible that the researcher conducted private research and didn't report it?"

"It's not ruled out, but it's almost impossible. If discovered, you will be fired."

"That's weird."

Shigure Qiluo looked around at the surrounding scene, looked down at the detector in her hand that had no response, and scratched her head in confusion.

She can only be said to be a little clever, and through hard work she became an A-rank Valkyrie, and usually serves as a warm-up role in the team.

There was no other way. Everyone in the team was talented. There was Nicholas who loved to fight Honkai beasts, Salome who loved to immerse herself in dancing, Cheng Lixue who spent the whole day holding a sword and communicating with it, and Patrick who was eager to get the position of captain but could never get it. Without her to warm up the team, she doubted whether this team could still exist.

After a brief chat with Shigure Kirara, Patrick felt a little more relaxed, but his vigilance did not decrease at all.

"Keep moving forward and be ready for battle at any time. This weird feeling is either we've been tricked, or there's going to be a big one next."

Several people were walking slowly on the snowy field, the biting cold wind blowing their clothes. Looking up, they saw a tall tower standing upright not far away, emitting a faint yellow light in the snowy field.

"It feels exactly like the calm before the storm." Shigure Kirara muttered, her eyes unconsciously looking around.

It was still the same unchanged white, and even if one wanted to cheer up, one felt unmotivated.

Shaking her head, Shigure Kirara tried to get rid of this state. She was currently on a mission and could not be disturbed by anything else, even if she saw the snow surface move.

......

Did the snow surface move?

Sensing that something was wrong, Shigure Kirara stopped slightly, and her teammates beside her also stopped at the same time.

"What's wrong, Shigure?" Patrick turned around and asked.

Shigure Qiluo hesitated slightly, then raised her hand and pointed in the direction she had just been looking at. "I seemed to see something move there just now."

The moment the words fell, the others looked at each other, and their weapons appeared in their hands at the same time. Then, without any communication, they tacitly and silently came to the place where Shigure Qiluo pointed.

At the same time, Shigure Kirara also walked there and found something on the snow.

"A little child?"

A girl who looked about ten years old was lying on the snow, with disheveled hair and extremely thin clothes.

Shigure Qiluo looked at Patrick and asked, and after getting his consent, she stepped forward and cautiously turned the girl's body over.

What came into view next was a pale, cold, petite face, and the striking number on her clothes: 53.

Seeing that the girl was in extremely bad condition, Shigure Qiluo did not bother to confirm her safety. She immediately checked the girl's body. After confirming that she was still alive, she took out some first aid items from the supplies she brought with her.

A shot of green liquid was injected into the girl's body, and after a few seconds her cheeks gradually turned red.

The girl then let out a soft moan and slowly opened her blue eyes.

As if shocked by the scene before her, the girl said absentmindedly: "What a beautiful sister, can you tell me your name?"

Shigure Qiluo was slightly stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face.

"My name is Shigure Kirara."

"Shigure...Kira?"

"Ah."

"I remember."

"Don't be afraid, sister will protect you..."

"Shigure, get out of the way!"

Before Shi Yu Qiluo could make a promise, Cheng Lixue beside her shouted, and then a sword energy flew straight towards her, or rather, towards the girl in her arms.

"Eh?"

Shigure Qiluo suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she had thought of something, and looked down at the girl in her arms.

The girl no longer looked as delicate as before, and was holding a gourd in her hand and smiling at her.

"See you later, Sister Shigure."

The girl laughed happily, and then a golden light appeared, covering everyone present.

Chapter 115: Knowing Nothing Kiana

The golden light dissipated, and everyone around except Kiana, including the sword energy that was coming straight at her, disappeared.

Kiana was still a little surprised that her goal had been achieved.

Weren’t they supposed to be an elite squadron from Heaven’s Will? How could they succeed so easily?

However, Kiana did not expect that if she had been a second slower, Cheng Lixue's sword energy would have accurately cut off her limbs. She just did not feel it because she was in Shiyu Qiluo's arms.

If the other people were in Shigure Kirara's position, they might be more vigilant than Shigure Kirara. At least they would not give their names first, or they might use a pseudonym, although those are of no use.

This gourd has been improved. In order to prevent the problem of having to have the other party agree before it can be taken in as shown in movies and TV shows, it is designed so that no matter what is shouted, as long as someone responds, that person and some things around them will be taken in.

So the result was actually determined when Kiana called out the name, and changing people would only change the order.

Having successfully completed the task, Kiana stood up and dusted off her clothes, her entire appearance having changed.

Her little face became even more rosy, and her clothes changed into a white cotton-padded jacket. Everything that happened just now was just an illusion created by fantasy, in order to deceive this so-called elite team of destiny.

Now it seems that her acting skills are quite successful, she succeeded in one try.

It’s a pity that we are not sure if there are other people in the team. It would be bad if other people in the team were scattered.

"I forgot to ask for a detector."

Muttering to herself, Kiana glanced around, confirmed that there was no one around, tightened her clothes, and walked back.

What she didn't notice was that under the snow in the shape of a footprint nearby, a small device was flashing red light, which quietly dimmed shortly after she left.

A few minutes later, at the Destiny headquarters.

"Reporting to His Excellency the Bishop, the Snow Wolf Squad experienced an abnormality a few minutes ago. We have not received any information so far and suspect they have lost contact."

"Oh, lost contact? That's the elite Valkyrie Squad, all A-rank. Even without their captain, they're more than capable of taking out an entire city of Honkai Beasts. How could they just disappear out of thin air?"

Otto stood with his back to the newcomers in front of a screen that displayed the entire scene of Siberia, the location of the Tower of Babel, the route of the Snow Wolf Team, and the location where they lost contact. All the information was clearly visible.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Otto turned around with a smile on his face.

"I understand. Next, continue to try to contact the Snow Wolf Squad. Report any news to me immediately. I will make other arrangements for the rest of the matter. You can go ahead and do your work."

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

The person responded and quickly left the room.
