Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

After the communication ended, Bai Yan's expression was extremely serious.

He suddenly walked out of the room and immediately began trying to contact Raiden Mei and Kiana.

No one heard.

Bai Yan stopped dialing because trying was pointless; no one answering meant, to some extent, that…

It's likely that some people already know I've tried to contact them.

Who could it be? Otto?

If Otto was trying to make himself a sacrifice, then why did he let Rita warn him?

"Sister Xiaoyan, what happened?" Bronya asked Bai Yan with some concern.

"Kiana and Mei are missing," Bai Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally spoke, "It's too strange for them to disappear at this time. Let's tell Himeko-sensei and the others."

"it is good."

Bronya glanced at the time and agreed with Bai Yan's opinion.

Soon after being informed, Himeko immediately began to try to find the two of them.

However, after searching for a long time without any news, Himeko informed Theresa directly, and then planned to mobilize the rest of the fifth squad to search together.

However, everyone discovered that even Fu Hua had disappeared.

In Theresa's office, Bai Yan looked at Theresa, who seemed ready to explode at any moment, and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"Otto is about to start, but I'm afraid I can't escape now..."

"The Herrscher of the Void knows that I have obtained the Gem of Desire, and she will definitely come looking for me."

"And they are destined to come and kill me..."

Rita was unaware of the gem, which is why she believed that once Bai Yan regained his identity, the Herrscher of the Void would be unable to find him.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated.

"Without the Gem of Desire, I..."

The Herrscher of the Void has descended, unleashing a massive surge of Honkai energy, threatening countless lives with a future of destruction.

Julie, Muriel, Vivian...

"After the Herrscher of the Void obtained the Conquest Gem and the Plague Gem, even Judah couldn't do anything to her."

"Even if I take the Luoshen Transformation into a god, my chances are still slim."

"Now how to do……"

At this moment, Rita sent another message, asking where Bai Yan planned to hide so that the two of them could meet up in that area.

Bai Yan replied with an address, which was near the hourly hotel where he had the secret phone call with Rita.

After sending it, Bai Yan's mood grew even heavier.

Book 1: Chapter 68: The Trap and the Unmentioned Information

Each person split up and searched for Kiana and Mei in various possible places.

Taking this opportunity, Bai Yan arrived at the hotel entrance.

She carried a guitar case on her back, disguised herself as a band member, and stood there quietly waiting for Rita.

During this time, many energetic young men tried to chat her up, but she quickly disappeared from sight.

Some of them disappeared headfirst into the toilet, while others were tied naked to tree branches...

After doing all this, Bai Yan felt the pressure in his heart instantly decrease, as if his body and mind had been cleansed.

His heart sank again only when Rita arrived, travel-worn and weary.

Bai Yan stood up from the utility pole behind him, causing a pair of crystal-clear bright red earrings to shimmer and sway.

"Sister Rita..."

The moment Rita saw him, she seemed to let go of something and showed a relieved smile.

"Xiao Yan, you've been very good."

"Um……"

Bai Yan spoke in a low voice, his gaze slightly lowered, and he slowly stepped forward with his hands behind his back.

Soon a pair of slender and skillful hands touched his head.

"You don't need to persist any longer. Your mission is complete. What happens next will be handled by—"

Her voice gradually faded from Bai Yan's ears, while distant memories slowly drew closer.

Silk thread, sutures, fresh blood, internal organs, medicine...

Indistinguishable sounds, lips moving incoherently, and a final wish...

The scene before my eyes gradually blurred.

Bai Yan's senses seemed to be clouded; he could neither hear nor see.

After an unknown amount of time, Rita's puzzled voice finally rang in my ears.

"Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan?"

Is she calling me?

Yes, it's calling me.

She is Rita, the Valkyrie of Destiny.

As his consciousness returned to reality, Bai Yan slowly looked at Rita, his eyes filled with confusion.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yan? Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "No, no... Where are we going now?"

"Next, we'll head back to headquarters."

"it is good."

Bai Yan followed Rita like a walking corpse.

Just before boarding the aircraft, he subconsciously glanced behind him.

Under the cover of night, the city lights are bright, bustling and prosperous.

There are also people rushing around, doing all sorts of things.

The mission will end here, and the girl named Bai Yan will likely be declared dead in the Honkai eruption in the coming days...

In the cabin.

"Is something on Xiao Yan's mind?"

"No."

Rita sighed inwardly.

Bai Yan has always earned the trust of everyone he comes into contact with through his sensibility and reliability.

However, at the same time, his true thoughts are often not understood by most people.

Even Rita could only catch a glimpse of it.

He resisted going to the battlefield, but when Ragnar found him, the young boy was walking alone on the snowfield.

She often "dates" some Valkyries, but there has never been any news of her crossing the line with anyone.

Always fond of "progress," yet keeping a distance from the true star, Durandal.

Rita wasn't without her suspicions, but she wasn't sure if her ideas were correct.

However, once this mission is over, there should be many more opportunities to ask in the future.

She found it strange that Bai Yan hadn't changed his clothes yet, even though there were separate compartments inside the aircraft.

It still uses a female voice.

She couldn't help but smile.

I guess I've gotten used to it. Maybe it's kind of interesting to be dressed as a woman for so long?

But why is he spacing out?

After a while, Bai Yan even closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

The journey is not short, but it's a direct flight.

During the long wait, Bai Yan simply took a nap, and when he woke up, he had already arrived at the headquarters of Destiny.

At this time, around 2 a.m., the headquarters of Destiny was in complete chaos.

"Did I miss something?" Bai Yan asked, but there was little doubt in his voice.

The alarm kept ringing, and the red light, representing the highest level of warning, flashed frantically.

The Valkyries were in a hurry, coming and going as if they were on an emergency evacuation.

Rita was fully aware of all of this.

"We need to move immediately and follow the Undying Blade squad led by Lady Durandal."

Bai Yan nodded without saying anything.

Amidst the rapidly moving crowd, their leisurely stroll stood out conspicuously.

But seeing that Rita was leading the way, no one raised any questions.

As they were walking, an explosion suddenly occurred, and the entire floating island shook violently!

"What happened?!"

Are you conducting some kind of experiment?

"Could it be that the Honkai has erupted here? Oh my god!"

As they discussed the matter, they quickened their pace and soon boarded the aircraft to transfer.

As Bai Yan watched the Destiny headquarters gradually empty out, he noticed that Rita's pace quickened.

She was using a communicator, but for some reason there was no response.

"Could it be..." she murmured to herself, while taking out the Genius.

"We must contact Lady Durandal as soon as possible."

Her movements became less graceful and even more impatient.

This was a scene that Bai Yan had never witnessed before.

In contrast, Bai Yan remained calm, his steps light and steady.

Perhaps it was because I slept soundly, or perhaps it was because I felt relaxed after putting down the infiltration mission I had been carrying out for some time.

Rita's hand suddenly stopped, her expression as if she had discovered something unbelievable.

I'm currently at the Far East Branch, but I haven't seen Shiro Yan—Rita. Have you already taken him away?

"Yes, Lady Durandal, do you have a way to get to headquarters now?"

Rita heard Durandal snort coldly on the other end.

For some reason, even though they were halfway around the world apart, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

[Bai Yan! He's not replying—By the way, the Far East branch's communications have suddenly been disrupted by electromagnetic interference, and we don't know who destroyed the aircraft. I'm currently investigating the cause with Senior Theresa.]

After uttering those words through gritted teeth, Durandal quickly adjusted her mindset and returned to normal.

"Aren't they looking for Miss Kiana?"

[We are indeed searching, but the Far East Branch is in a state of chaos right now. I think the World Serpents have probably also targeted the Far East Branch; they've done similar things before.]

"...I understand, Lady Durandal. Please be careful over there."

Okay, be careful over there too. I'll come over as soon as the aircraft is repaired.

"clear."
