Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

At the end, there was even a hint of apology in his voice.

"It's okay, I approve."

Youlan Dale was somewhat helpless. This guy was always like this.

"It's rare to see you back at headquarters. How's it going? Have you made any progress on your quest to find the Second God's Key?"

"Rita returned to headquarters to report on her work and request more assistance and support from the Bishop. Over the past two years, searches and investigations have been completed in most regions, including China and the Americas, with no results. Therefore, Rita can only turn her attention to Europe, where the headquarters is located."

Rita's tone was still calm, but Yu Lan Dale could still hear the unconcealable depression and unwillingness in it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Rita."

Yulan Dell, who was flying through the clouds, could only comfort his companions with sympathy.

Come to think of it, after two years of searching the world for nothing, I finally discovered the most likely location was right in front of my own home...

This kind of thing would make anyone lose their mind.

"I dare not. The one who has suffered the most is you, Lord Youlan Dale..."

Rita also felt sorry for Yulan Dell. He had to shoulder such a heavy responsibility for the whole world. It was only thanks to the bishop that he could think of this!

Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have thought that way.

"By the way, Rita, now that you're back at headquarters, I'd like to ask you for a favor..."

"Are you looking after Miss Yuno?"

How could Rita not know what Yulan Dell was thinking? She answered immediately.

"From what I know, Miss Yuno has become very good friends with Miss Anna Shaniat for some time. It's really a happy thing that she can gradually get out of her previous isolation and autism."

"Oh, I know. I heard they'd been causing some minor trouble at headquarters."

Yulan Dell continued.

She did not turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside just because she was on a mission alone; as the captain, she was still paying attention to the affairs of the Immortal Blade.

"Ah, yes. Although it has added considerable trouble to the Bishop's work, it is ultimately moving in a positive direction. However..."

Rita was a little worried. She was very well-informed.

"Anna is about to be officially appointed to the elite team and officially fulfill her duties as a Valkyrie. This is a good thing, but..."

Just as Rita knows her very well, Yulan Dell also knows Rita very well.

He landed on the ground and punched several big Honkai beasts to death with two punches. Then he flew away and asked directly,

"Rita, you seem worried about both of them?"

The honest Dai Goose always speaks his mind and never knows how to beat around the bush.

"yes……"

Rita knew every Valkyrie in the Skyward Headquarters very well. She knew that although Anna, the descendant with a special surname, was extremely talented, she was too inexperienced and naive.

This is probably why she can be friends with Yuno. But...

"It's too hasty..."

Rita's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly, and she sighed silently.

"Don't worry, Rita."

Youlan Dale flew up and down in the sky, comforting his partner.

"Yuno's character is surprisingly strong, as you know. It's just that she's still resisting this power and unwilling to accept reality. In this regard, it depends more on her. As for Anna..."

Youlan Dale thought about it and recalled his impression of her from his memory - she was very proud and a little reckless; she was quite similar to her former self, so he smiled and said,

"Look, wasn't I also a mess back then? Thanks to your meticulous care, I even caused you a lot of trouble..."

Rita also laughed.

“Thinking about it now, they are all precious memories worth cherishing.”

The experience of drifting in the quantum sea is a treasure shared by both of them.

"A newcomer is always a bit reckless, but I believe that with a period of experience, he will become a qualified warrior. Look at me, wasn't I also reckless in the beginning?"

"...You're right. It seems that Rita is worrying too much."

Rita agreed with him. After all, there was no point in arguing about something that could only be verified by time. She was just complaining in her heart.

"That's because that person is you, Lady Bianca..."

"Beep beep," the sound of the communicator interrupted the two people's chat.

"The Bishop has begun to summon, Lord Orlandel, Rita will take her leave first."

Rita bowed gracefully and hung up the call.

On the other side of the earth, a streak of azure light streaked across the sky and flew into the distance.

For some people in this world, most things in the world can be carried out step by step.

This kind of calmness has always been a privilege for a few people.

………………

ME, the full name of which is Massive Electric, is a technology group under Anti-Entropy. It has many research institutes under its jurisdiction, including aerospace materials, mecha, Herrscher, Honkai Energy, Monsters and Death Soldiers, etc. It claims to "represent the world's most advanced" technological level, and I don't know where they get their confidence from.

ME's headquarters is in Changkong City. Although I don't understand why Anti-Entropy, an organization with the Americas as its core territory, would place such a valuable asset in the Far East, they did it anyway...

Just like we don't understand why Cocolia caused the Great Collapse in the city where her group's headquarters is located, but she did it anyway.

Highlight an abstraction.

(ノへ￣,)

Far East, Changkong City, inside the ME Company building.

This majestic and magnificent high-rise building was once the landmark of the bustling Changkong City; now, in this city that has long fallen into silence, it is still a landmark.

Dark night, dead city, silent building;

It was as if they were falling into death together.

The building was dark and silent.

This place had long been deserted. All the laboratories were urgently closed before everything began, and most of the employees were evacuated, leaving the place in an abandoned state.

However, this is actually just a temporary "hibernation" on the surface. All activities have moved underground, keeping a low profile, and the automated production equipment runs at a slow speed; then, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

At this moment, a lively farce is taking place in the conference room on the top floor.

"Cocolia, you bastard! The organization has already investigated your frame-up of Raiden Ryoma. Now, immediately, immediately! Hand over control of ME Company to me. Don't make me say it again!"

At the spacious oval table in the conference room, a blonde woman in a dark green military uniform sat calmly at the head seat, looking with a playful look at the red twin-tailed "girl" Tesla, who was slamming the table and cursing at her while sitting in the secondary seat.

Of course, although the table was slammed loudly, the large conference table did not vibrate at all, but instead made Tesla's figure blurry for a moment.

Obviously, she was just a holographic projection, and the same was true of Einstein, who sat silently opposite her.

"Oh, oh, don't get excited, Ms. Tesla. It would be bad if this impromptu meeting was interrupted. After all, everyone is very busy."

Cocolia's voice is full of magnetism, but her tone is sarcastic.

"Also, I have to remind you, about the Thunder Dragon Horse incident, you're accusing me of framing you? Haha, Ms. Tesla, the evidence is irrefutable, do you think you can easily distort the truth? Or do you need me to show you the evidence again?"

Cocolia's contemptuous sitting posture with her legs resting on the table made Tesla's veins jump.

"Out of consideration for my duty of loyalty to the organization, I do not think it is a reasonable proposal to hand over the organization's important assets to an economic criminal. This will only disappoint more diligent colleagues and undermine the unity of the organization. Therefore, Dr. Tesla, I can only regretfully reject your proposal."

Cocolia's expression was full of regret, as if she had really gone through some ideological struggle, but the contemptuous curve at the corner of her mouth exposed her inner arrogance and disdain without any concealment.

"Unity? Unity is bullshit!"

Tesla, with his explosive temper, could tolerate such sarcasm? He was ready to lash out on the spot.

"Dr. Tesla!"

The calm Einstein glanced at Tesla lightly, which made her swallow all the curses in her mouth. She glared at the hateful Cocolia fiercely and sat back down with a bang.

"Ms. Kokolia, I don't believe that someone as capable of detaining the family members of fellow Anti-Entropy officers and conducting dangerous experiments on them is qualified to talk about 'loyalty' and 'unity'. In fact, your arrogance and tyranny have played a very negative role in the current chaos and division in the organization."

Einstein spoke calmly and eloquently, but his tone was sharp and full of naked accusations.

"You privately conducted experiments on Herrscherization, even at the cost of triggering a cataclysm that killed millions. Your actions have caused immense damage to the interests of the organization and all of humanity, and have irreparably harmed the reputation and vision of Anti-Entropy. Cocolia, if I count your actions, each one is an indisputable and serious crime. If you say that organizational assets should not be controlled by 'criminals,' then I completely agree with you and believe you should lead by example. What do you think, Ms. Cocolia?"

Einstein was very good at debate, using his own weapons to attack his own shield.

"...Haha, one plays the good cop, the other the bad cop, what an excellent duo that sings and plays in unison!"

Cocolia continued to be sarcastic.

"Dr. Einstein, don't you think this tactic is outdated?"

When she is at a disadvantage in discussing the matter objectively, she turns to personal attacks. In short, she just wants to muddy the waters. Cocolia is very good at this.

"you!"

Tesla has a bad temper and is easily fooled. He just wants to curse at you with polite words like "Can you even speak human language?"

"Dr. Tesla..."

Einstein grabbed Tesla again. Although she appeared calm, she was furious. But there was nothing she could do; her previous attack had been neutralized by this farce.

"I think the most reasonable solution for ME Club is to leave everything to the leader after he returns. Until then, we should each do our own job and fulfill our responsibilities. What do you think?"

Cocolia continued to be sarcastic, saying that scientists should stay in the research institute and not cause trouble.

"Don't even think about getting away with this, you bastard!"

Tesla couldn't help it and just slammed the table and stood up.

As the leader of the alliance, Walter is more of a banner that unites people. In fact, all the big and small matters of Anti-Entropy over the years have been handled by her and Einstein.

When have we ever suffered such humiliation?

"Huh? So what? Are you two still planning to keep arguing here?"

Cocolia said sarcastically that she had already won another "debate" and had little interest in continuing to waste her breath with these two guys who she thought were stupid and short-sighted.

"Summer insects can't talk about ice. They are simply wasting precious time and resources! The vision of anti-entropy, the future of mankind, must be controlled by soldiers like us!"

Cocolia was intoxicated in her heart.

"You said I was pestering you? Don't even think about getting away with it, you bastard!"

Tesla's irritable voice interrupted Cocolia's happy thoughts.

"Not long ago, satellite monitoring detected a very strange energy fluctuation in Changkong City. Tell me, are they secretly conducting some shameful experiments again?"

Energy fluctuations? Cocolia's heart moved. There was no one alive in this broken place now, so how could there be any energy fluctuations?

Tesla, your way of making excuses is really not smart at all.

Cocolia sneered in her heart and was about to continue to mock, but before she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a sudden accident.

"Really? I'm enjoying the show, why do you have to bring the topic to me?"

Suddenly, a strange man's voice came from the speaker in the conference room.

"Don't wrongly accuse Cocolia. The fluctuation just now had nothing to do with her. She is innocent. I can testify to this."

"who?"

Cocolia turned over and stood up, not "appreciating" the gesture; the two doctors far away in the North American headquarters looked at each other, confused.

With a creaky sound, the door to the conference room was slowly pushed open, and a man walked in calmly, smiling and greeting Cocolia and the other two.

"Hello everyone? Let me introduce myself. I'm a resident of Changkong City and a survivor of the Third Collapse. My sincerest greetings to everyone in Anti-Entropy~"

Chapter 14: Real three-party game; fake three-party game

Time goes back a little bit.

The streets and alleys of Changkong City were littered with horrific car wreckage. There was no escape, no chaos. The distribution of all the car wreckage was clearly that of normal urban traffic, but it was as if everyone had lost their lives in an instant, forming a chain of car accidents that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Now everything has returned to dead silence, not even allowing others to pay their respects.

Lin Wei walked through the silent jungle of steel coffins, but had no intention of stopping to mourn for this city.

It's not just because he's lived here for so long that he's used to seeing this;
