People are crumbling, they're vile strangers

"Qiana!" Mei's voice came from behind her before Kiana, whose mouth was full of food, could reply

"Put those uncooked food back quickly, it will spoil your stomach"

"Uuuuuuu...it's okay, Mei, and Snow, right? Thank you for your concern." Kiyana, who swallowed the food in her mouth for a long time, waved her hand nonchalantly

"Ms. Ben got used to it when she was wandering alone. There is nothing delicious at that time, just get used to it." Qiyana grabbed the skewer on her body and continued to stuff it into her mouth—then her He and his shoulders were grabbed by the three girls beside him

"Uh... what are you guys doing"

"Qiana..." Mei looked at the girl in front of her, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it

"Miss Kiyana...you...we..." This is Penglai Temple Jiuxiao who also doesn't know what to say

"Hey...what's the matter with you, Mei, why do you look like you're about to cry, I don't need your sympathy, Miss."

"Miss Kiana Kaslana...please look at us" the blond girl said to the white-haired dumpling in front of her

"Please remember, you are not alone now—" Snow broke out the thoughts in the hearts of the two girls, Jiuxiao and Mei

"Uh...why are you so serious all of a sudden, alright, alright, I know, I'll just stop eating half-baked food from now on." Kiyana laughed dryly, and took out all the food hidden on her body one by one back on the grill

[She doesn't seem to be used to this sudden relationship, but it doesn't matter, it's just like what she said, just wait until she gets used to it] Snow watched the white-haired girl put back the food hidden on her body one by one Thinking in my heart on the grill, and then...the expression gradually began to twist

......? ? ? ?

"You bastard...how many things are you hiding on your body??? You're a hamster!"

"Ahahahaha——No, you haven't settled with you for kicking Miss Ben downstairs before!"

"Oh? Yeah, I don't think you enjoyed it at the time."

"What! It's useless to talk too much, let's see the trick!"

"Wow~ Wow, someone is in a hurry, I won't say who she is—"

"Ahh, Miss Ben wants to make a hole in your body, make a hole!"

Chapter 4 Stigmata and her past

At six o'clock in the morning of the next day, Snow opened his eyes on time. It was a habit imprinted in his instincts in 16 years of life. He put on clothes in his sleeping bag, quickly got out of the warm bed, and moved his body

Picking up the towel and water glass that were put aside, grabbed a bottle of alcohol in the medicine box, stepped over Jiuxiao and Qiyana who were sleeping soundly, and walked towards the bathroom on the floor. Not surprisingly, Leiden Mei was also here

"Good morning, Snow, don't you want to sleep for a while?" Mei, who saw the girl coming in, took the initiative to say hello

"No, I'm used to getting up at six o'clock." Wet the towel and wiped it across my face. The cold water took away the last trace of sleepiness. I washed the towel again, wrung out the water on it, and poured the medical alcohol I brought on On the towel, spread it on the forearm of the left hand

There were five obvious scratches there, which seemed to be left by someone with sharp nails before. Snow frowned slightly following the hot tingling sensation brought about by the alcohol towel applied to the wound.

"Are you okay, Snow?" The black-haired girl asked worriedly seeing her slightly frowning brows.

"Of course, it's just a normal sting from alcohol disinfection, Mei-senpai, you don't have to worry," Snow's natural answer

"Is it the wound left by those monsters before?" Mei continued to ask with some unwillingness to give up

"No, I was accidentally caught by Qiyana when I was pinching with her last night. It's not a big problem. It's normal to get a little injury from fighting." Snow seemed to think of something, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of joy. smile

"Hey, is that so, really....Everyone should get along well, Kiyana too, and you too, Mr. Snow..." Mei seemed to be a little angry, she switched on the old lady mode, and started chattering Preach it

"Yeah....Mei-senpai, I understand." The blond girl nodded her head like a typewriter

"Hey...Come here and let me see if there are any other injuries." Mei looked at the blond girl and sighed, showing a serious expression

"Hey....Okay" Seeing Leiden Mei's serious expression, Snow chose to lean over obediently. It is not a good idea to offend the old lady in charge of the team - of course, this must not be said in front of Mei face to face

The blond girl's dress is very simple, a black sports vest and a matching white cloak at the back, and a cloak on the outside, a white skirt and a pair of black stockings on her lower body

The cloak and cloak that blocked the back were quickly untied, and then Leiden Mei was attracted by the black mark at the center of the two shoulder blades on the blonde girl's back

——It was a weird combination, with one eye as the main body of the imprint, with runes like books on the back, and a sharp sword or candle piercing through from top to bottom

In a trance, Leiden Mei felt that the one-eyed eye in front of her blinked at her, and the eyeballs in it rolled around and stared at her penetratingly.

"Ah!" the girl exclaimed

"What's the matter, Mei-senpai?!" Snow reacted quickly, taking a vigilant fighting posture as soon as Mei's scream came out.

"It's nothing...Student Snow has a hobby of getting tattoos?" Mei patted her chest to soothe her frightened heart, and asked the school girl beside her

"Tattoos? No, I don't have such a hobby. You know, Mei-senpai, I'm a well-known three-good student in the academy, so what's the matter?" A somewhat unreliable answer appeared in Snow's mind.

"On your back...Snow, probably between the two shoulder blades, there is a black mark similar to a tattoo, um... roughly a book plus an eye and a A pattern combining things that don't know whether it's a sword or a candle." Mei described to the girl what was behind her

"When I was staring at the pattern, it seemed to move, and the one eye seemed to blink at me."

"There is a mark on my back, and I blinked at you, Senior Sister? Well... why don't you ask Qiyana, she should be familiar with these, after all, watching her clean up those monsters Those who are familiar with the road should know more about these things.”

"After all, I have never found this kind of pattern on my back before, it may only appear in the past two days." Snow shrugged

"Hmm...Okay, let's go back to find Kiyana now." Mei took the girl's arm and ran towards the room where Kiyana and the others were resting at the beginning

And the face of the girl who was pulled by the arm instantly sank after Leiden Mei turned around.

[The mark that suddenly appeared on the body... probably only the stigmata, but it can move?Are there moving stigmata... Well, of course, it cannot be ruled out that Raiden Mei has misread it. Her mental state can only be said to be in a temporarily stable state. Before the psychological protection, there is a possibility of fluctuations... Well, there is another possibility that what she saw was some kind of special effect that comes with my stigmata]

[All in all, with the stigmata as an excuse, the actions are not as restrained as before. I can initially reveal some of my abilities in the confrontation with Bronya later, which is good news] Snow, who had made up his mind, received With a slightly gloomy face, showing a somewhat panicked and helpless expression, he followed Mei back to a certain classroom that was used as a temporary bedroom

Qiyana was still in a deep sleep, muttering, a crystal line of saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth and falling to the ground, if you get close to her, you can probably hear her sleep talking

"I want to eat bud-flavored instant noodles!"

...No, this time I probably could hear it without getting close to it, and it also woke up Jiu Xiao, who was not sleeping well.

Three pairs of eyes of different colors looked at the white hairy dumpling who was still sleeping peacefully in the middle

"I still want to drink Mei's sister (*anti*clip*) juice!" Kiyana, under the gaze of the three people, continued to utter outrageous dream (strange) words

...the air is dead quiet

——Snow, who came to Jiuxiao at some point, handed a pair of sunglasses to his companion beside him. Jiuxiao put on the sunglasses in a tacit understanding, and then took out Coke and watermelon that he didn't know where to get, and handed them to the side. friends with sunglasses

"Qiana! What are you talking about—!" The next moment, the entire classroom was filled with lightning

-------------------------------------

"What...Mei, don't worry, that golden-haired monster has stigmata on its back, and it is also the stigmata that we humans can rely on to move in areas with strong Honkai energy. As for the moving stigmata you mentioned Maybe it’s Mei, you read it wrong, or that guy’s stigmata have some illusion-like effect, you see, I also have stigmata.” Kiyana turned around and lifted the clothes behind her, a bright red Sigil made of sword and wings

"How about it? It's pretty, Mei. The old man told me that it also has a nice name - it's called Kaslana's Covenant Wings." The white-haired girl seemed to be showing off, and she was still on the spot turn around

"Hmm... as long as it's okay...then Miss Jiuxiao should have it too." Mei seemed to think of something and looked at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple who was not too serious about eating melons.

"Ah? Me, I haven't noticed it, but it must be possible to be here for so long." Jiu Xiao, who ate the melon on his head, said a little uncertainly

[I either have a stigmata, or a core, or both] Jiu Xiao secretly slandered

"Hey, what would that be like?" Baimao Tuanzi's curiosity was aroused

"Ahem... Now that the confusion has been resolved, let's go on after breakfast. As for Jiuxiao's stigmata, it won't be too late for us to escape from here." Snow interrupted Qiyana with a cough After asking, and throwing out the matter of eating, it completely diverted her attention

"Hey, then I want to eat what Mei made."

"Okay, Qiyana, I'll do it for you"

"Mei is the best! Let me help you, Mei."

The girl in white and black went to the rooftop, where the bonfire that was raised last night has not been extinguished

Seeing the two leaving, Snow nudged his companion next to him with his elbow

"Don't tell me that you have a Herrscher core..."

"My hen"

"Aren't you wearing a bandage around your hand? What's inside?"

"Let me untie it and have a look..."

"Red lines, that's okay"

"It's good to have it, although there is really a core problem of the Lawrence, it's not too big"

"It's really not that big, after all, it's that college..."

-------------------------------------

At 9 a.m., 19 hours after the third Honkai, in the ruins of the streets of Changkong City

"Hey, Snow, what was your life like in the past?" A group of people walked in the middle of the road. Thanks to Qiyana's strange mobile phone that can detect the strength of the Houkai energy, the four of them avoided many troubles along the way. so that there is even enough time to gossip

"Everyone knows my story. In the past, my stinky dad was wandering around looking for me until I met everyone in Changkong City. I also heard the story of Mei-senpai when I was in the academy, but Snow you I have never heard of the story, although I can always see your name on the bulletin board and commendation list of the college, but when I ask the people around me, I can't tell what kind of person you are, Snow, student. Feeling mysterious, hey—Snow, you can’t be the daughter of the big boss of a super-shady organization, can you?”

[In terms of universal rationality... you are more mysterious..... how did you manage to wander all the way from Siberia to the island country in the far east?] The blond girl looked at her with a weird face. White hairballs on my face

"My story? It's actually very simple, and it's not as exaggerated as you think."

"I grew up in Vienna, the capital of Austria in Europe, and my adoptive father is a very devout Christian"

"When I was young, he always liked to take me to worship in the local church. The bishop there knew my adoptive father very well. Every time my adoptive father came to worship, the church would not be open to the public. In the whole grand church It's just me and him praying"

"...that church commemorates the saint who has a very high reputation in European history, and her adoptive father is her devout believer"

"And it probably has something to do with you?" Snow glanced at the white-haired dumpling who was following him.

"Something to do with me?" Kiyana looked confused

"The saint's surname is Kaslana... Kallen Kaslana... If you are really her descendant, my adoptive father will probably be very angry... ..." Snow shrugged.

"After all, he likes that saint very much, no... the local people seem to like that saint very much"

"Karen Kaslana? I heard from my stinky dad that she is indeed the ancestor of our Kaslana family. So the ancestor is so famous?" Kiyana scratched her head a little embarrassed

"I will try my best not to tell my adoptive father...the descendants of the great saint Kallen Kaslana are guys like you..." The corners of Snow's mouth twitched and he looked at the embarrassed Qi Yana

"Hey, what do you think of the handsome Miss Ben?"

[Although the lady saint is not as perfect as described in the story]

"Ahem...Continue, every time I go to church, my adoptive father will tell me a story about the saint Kallen, and he will update a new version every time..."

"This kind of peaceful life until I was 12 years old. At that time, my adoptive father gradually became busy and didn't come home often. I asked about the church my adoptive father often went to. The priest there just shook his head and told me that he hadn't come recently. I lived here, and the person who took care of my life was replaced by a long-haired maid named (this is also sensitive) Irene."

"No matter how I evaluate the maid from any angle, I can only give the word perfect. Whether it is from etiquette or cooking skills, she is impeccable."

"Even my swordsmanship and martial arts have her guidance and teachings"

"As a teacher, she will never get angry. She will always point out your mistakes with a smile and encourage you with a smile."
