Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

"And these children around you, are they test subjects? Just keep a few of these Phineas' containers, don't waste time on these guys!"

The man's anger did not subside with Lingyi's response; he continued to express his thoughts.

"So, now I..."

"Why would you say such a thing? It was my sister who protected your lives!"

Lingyi wanted to say something more, but Maria couldn't control her emotions after hearing what the other person said.

She was already very worried about her sister, but she suppressed her emotions to avoid causing trouble. Now, faced with this situation, the pent-up grievances suddenly erupted.

"Hmm, you're the older sister of that type of eligible person? Isn't this how it should be? If you can't become a Phineas container, you can only contribute to the organization in your own way."

"It was an honor for your sister to give her life for the organization. In the end, if she had tried a little harder, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to find Nephilim, who is trapped in the rubble."

The man said this as a matter of course in response to Maria's anger.

"That's outrageous! They were clearly saved, yet they call it Death!"

Faced with such disdainful remarks from the other party, Xiaoqiege grumbled somewhat indignantly.

"Sister Lingyi, what's this?"

Just as they were arguing, Tsukuyomi, who was standing next to Xiaoqiege and watching Lingyi, noticed that a faint black mist had appeared on her body.

"I... Waaah, I'm sorry, Serena."

On the other hand, although Maria was very unwilling to compromise, reason told her that she was now under someone else's roof and had no power to fight for justice in the face of these adults.

"Hmph, you should worry more about how to contribute to the organization, kid."

Seeing Maria yield, the man completely disregarded her feelings and continued to insult her with an arrogant attitude.

"Speaking of which, they said they'd freeze her, but if you ask me, that's a complete waste... Pfft!"

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the man who had just been spouting nonsense was unable to finish his sentence because his head made a crisp, intimate contact with the floor tiles.

"Tan, what happened to Sister Lingyi? Death?"

"I don't know, but Sister Lingyi seems to be very angry."

Looking at the scene before them, Xiaoqiege and Yuedu Diao were somewhat at a loss.

"Why is there so much sadness in this world?"

Enveloped in a light mist, Lingyi posed a question to the man she had knelt on the ground.

"Ah, the answer, of course, is because people like you exist!"

Before the man could react and answer, he was picked up by Lingyi like a ball and slammed heavily to the ground again.

"It's because of people like you! Who act recklessly for the sake of worthless power! That so many tragic things happen!"

Unable to contain his emotions, the man's head made intimate contact with the ground with each word he spoke.

After doing this several times, Lingyi stopped and politely stood up from him, helping him to the wall.

"Tan, I'm so sorry, I hurt you. You know, why did you say those things? Now I can't control my actions."

With a bright smile on her face, Lingyi gently patted the dust off his clothes, who was still not fully awake, seemingly no longer as irritable as before.

However, the three people beside her knew that this was completely wrong, because they could see that the mist surrounding Lingyi had not disappeared.

"I am a very kind person, and I especially dislike the feeling of watching life disappear before my eyes, so please rest assured, I will not let you die."

With a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth and a bright smile, Lingyi slowly raised one of the hands of the person in front of her.

"However, I have a question that I'm very curious about and want to verify: I want to know what problems might arise if you didn't have fingernails on your hands."

Chapter Forty-Eight: Going to the Extreme

"Shit, this isn't over. You'll definitely regret doing this!"

After what seemed like an eternity, the brief incident finally ended when the stranger, whom the shrimp had encountered, dragged away his bloodied hand.

"Phew, troublesome. I didn't control myself well and went a little too far. No, I need to be more careful and not let myself lose control."

Lingyi, whose emotions had stabilized, didn't pay attention to the other person's words, but reflected on her actions with a slightly sad expression.

“Zero, while I’m glad you stood up for us on Serena’s behalf, this will drag you into it too.”

"I remember that man seemed to have a high status here. Could he be plotting revenge and causing you any trouble?"

Maria was the first to recover from the shock of Zero's actions and asked Zero with concern.

"First of all, don't misunderstand, what just happened wasn't about your sister. Secondly, your worries are unnecessary; he's already... um?"

In response to Maria's concerns, Lingyi shook her head slightly, indicating that Maria's worries were unnecessary, when a vibration sound came out.

Then, Lingyi reached into her body, took out her phone, and answered the call.

The matter you just requested has been discussed and approved. You may now proceed with the handover.

Immediately afterwards, a somewhat muffled but respectful voice came through the phone, conveying this information.

"Okay, I understand. The rest will arrive in your account soon."

After receiving the notification, Lingyi made some kind of guarantee and then hung up the call without saying anything more.

"What was that just now?"

Maria asked, instinctively with a hint of doubt.

"It's a small matter, and I didn't originally intend to spend my energy on it, but in order to prevent myself from being blown up by some unknown explosion while I'm resting, I've decided to put in some effort to solve it."

"Alright, you should be able to find your way here. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

Without saying much, only offering a helpless complaint in her words, Lingyi told the three of them to hurry back before leaving.

Later, after about a day of treatment, the damage caused by Nafi's rampage was basically repaired, and most people returned to their daily lives at a normal pace, seemingly unchanged from before.

"Damn, that's strange. Isn't Zero-chan working today?"

Xiaoqiege noticed that someone had been missing from the workstation for some time, which seemed odd.

Lingyi's usual job was to look after these test children, but she didn't actually interact with them; instead, she managed the staff who were in charge.

Typically, she would use a spot with a good view as her workstation, reading books or electronic documents that they couldn't understand, while fiddling with some instruments next to her whose purpose they didn't know.

"After what happened, Sister Lingyi must have a lot of things to deal with. Look, everyone looks exhausted today."

Tsukuyomi casually voiced her speculation.

"Indeed, Zero-chan must be very busy... Ah, look, Zero-chan is here! Death!"

Just as Xiaoqiege was about to put the matter out of her mind, she noticed Lingyi open the door and walk in.

"Hmm, but why does Sister Lingyi look so tired?"

Reminded by Xiaoqiege, Tsukuyomi also noticed Lingyi, and at the same time noticed that the other person looked like she hadn't rested in a long time, with faint dark circles under her eyes.

"Really? Tiao, let's go ask together. It's okay, you saw it yesterday, Zero is a really nice person!"

Xiaoqiege also noticed this situation, and out of curiosity, she wanted to go and say hello, and Tsukuyomi Tsune had no objection.

"Um, is there anything wrong... about my condition? It's nothing, I've just been working too much lately, I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

Noticing the two approaching, Lingyi turned her gaze over, and after learning of their questions, shook her head, telling them there was no need to worry.

"Is it because of that person from yesterday? Did he cause you any more trouble afterward, Sister Lingyi?"

Despite what Rei said, Tsukuyomi still asked about it with some concern.

"Well, generally speaking, it is indeed his affairs that have caused the trouble, but the process is not what you think."

Lingyi's carefully chosen words seemed to indicate that she was trying to explain things simply.

"Make way, let me in, she's inside, right!"

Just then, a commotion and a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"What happened... Qin, it's Death, the person from yesterday!"

Xiaoqiege looked towards the door in confusion and found that the person outside was an acquaintance whose hand was still wrapped in bandages. After realizing that he was there, he rushed straight over.

"Sister Lingyi, watch out!"

Tsukuyomi wanted to warn him, but found that Rei had already noticed the situation, turned around, and with one hand outstretched, she had already knocked the other person down before anyone could see what was happening.

"Hmm, what do you want with me?"

Looking down at the other person lying on the ground, Lingyi, without any emotion, calmly asked the other person's purpose.

"You little rascal, what trick did you use?!"

Struggling to get up from the ground, the disheveled man vented his inexplicable anger on Lingyi.

"Please show some respect, sir. You are no longer a manager of the organization."

A researcher who ran over from the other side berated the man with an unfriendly expression.

"No, something must be wrong. I am the one most capable of leading this organization. Without my abilities, the research on the holy relics..."

"Ugh, this is troublesome. So, can you have a clear understanding of yourself?"

"First, you think you shouldn't be held responsible for wasting so much money on experiments that were destined to fail."

"Secondly, there are plenty of people who can replace you in terms of ability, so don't misunderstand your own position."

"Third, I am the one who now has the power to lead this organization, not you, the former leader."

The man wanted to say something to defend himself, but seemingly unwilling to watch the farce any longer, Lingyi interrupted him with a series of words.

"You, you, there must be some mistake. I've made so many contributions, I..."

He seemed to want to say something more, but several members of the organization had already arrived and, after apologizing to Lingyi, dragged him away from the place.

"Ugh, this is so boring. Why should I waste my time and energy on someone like this?"

After the source of the riot was taken away, Lingyi sighed wearily.

"Um, that person from earlier... um, does that mean, Zero-chan, you got promoted to Death?"

Xiaoqiege, finally understanding the information that had just been sent, let out an uncontrollable exclamation.

"I guess so. As you can see, I will be in charge of the organization's leadership from now on. But there's no way around it. As I said yesterday, it's necessary. So please guide me from now on."

Chapter 49 Change and Training

Neither Tsukuyomi Cho nor Akatsuki Kirika knew much about what happened after that; they only felt that Rei had been busy for a long time, and that the surrounding environment had changed considerably.

“Now that I’ve taken on the task of looking after Finney, I won’t just leave them to fend for themselves. I can’t let that guy be reborn into a sickly body. So, you all need to keep an eye on them, understand?”

The two couldn't recall the specifics, but they remembered that after Lingyi said something similar, most of the researchers in the organization changed their attitude towards them slightly.

Simply put, it's like changing the way you look at 'objects' to the way you look at 'precious objects that need to be treated well'.

At the same time, apart from the attitude towards them, their material conditions have also improved a lot, such as food, entertainment, clothing and living environment, all of which have seen a significant improvement in comfort.

However, although Lingyi has many benefits since joining the management team, there are also some conditions that they don't particularly want, and some of them even feel that their previous lives were better.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm so tired, I'm going to die!"

Lying on the pile of paper, Xiaoqiege, who was almost ten years old at the time, let out a painful groan.

"Don't fall down, Kiri-chan. If you can't finish your homework before tonight, something terrible will happen."

Tsukuyomi looked at Akatsuki with a serious expression, her face full of worry.

What makes them so eager is undoubtedly the compulsory education strategy adopted for these test children since Lingyi took office.

According to Lingyi, at most only one of them will become Finni's recipient, so the rest must at least master a few skills to survive.

Furthermore, although she wasn't entirely clear on Finny's reincarnation mechanism, improving the recipient's intelligence might actually help Finny's reincarnation.

In short, under this ideology, many recipient children, in addition to combat training, also had the burden of general academic studies placed on them.

"Finally finished! I tried so hard, Death!"

After finishing the last problem, Xiaoqiege shook her slightly twitching hand and thought with a sense of relief.

"Kiri-chan, you're really good and worked very hard, but you need to hurry, it's almost time to gather."

"Death is imminent!"

After packing their belongings, Tsukuyomi Chowa and Akatsuki Kirika held hands and headed to their usual meeting place.

As usual, the other recipient children, like them, waited quietly at the designated location. Soon, they joined in, waiting for the day's experiments and training arrangements.
