Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

...

Honkai energy that was more intense than before was escaping.

It is scattered in nearly half of the city and is spreading outwards.

Fortunately, most people have evacuated to the mountains in the suburbs.

This wave of outbreaks only further intensified the destruction in the area that was already a frozen and quiet dead city.

Honkai energy is so intense that there isn't even a biological target for erosion.

No, there are still.

After all, it affected 20.00% of the city's population.

Under the erosion of the first wave of ice, snow and Honkai energy, many people turned into zombies, a small number became dead soldiers, and there were still very few people who survived because of the adaptability of Honkai energy.

The street where Chen Tianwu's team is located is a traffic area with a large flow of people, and more people gather... so there are more people who survived the wave of Honkai Energy erosion.

The same was true for the more than 20 civilians, who were protected by their team.

But now...

Anna stood up and looked at Chen Tianwu, who was only slightly alive. She tried her best to prevent the ice spikes that penetrated her from hurting Anna, and rolled to the side and collapsed.

A few low-pitched wails from the civilians were also heard in the shop... Each of them had survived the first wave.

But even so, under the current concentration of Honkai energy, there was no possibility for them to survive.

There are signs of erosion on everyone's body.

Including Chen Tianwu, who had no mark before, it also appeared.

Anna panicked. She sat on the floor and took out the portable medical injection in her bag to inject Chen Tianwu to extend his life. She also took out a special gel in the hope of quickly stopping the bleeding.

But it was not that easy. The long knife penetrated his body directly. Even if the hole on the surface was stopped, it could not stop the destroyed internal organs from dying gradually.

Under the infiltration of such a high concentration of Honkai energy, even medical agents are of little use.

A few wails kept stimulating her nerves.

More silence, or fainting.

The sight of civilians who were still breathing made Anna feel even more uncomfortable.

Anna took out another injection of medical nutrition with stimulant effect, trying to inject Chen Tianwu to extend his life, but for a moment she found that the world in her eyes began to blur a lot, and Chen Tianwu's blood vessels could not be found for a while. .

Of course she didn't know—and couldn't see.

In Chen Tianwu's eyes, Anna's face was still clearly transformed into a semi-dead warrior.

Looking at this girl who was busy trying to keep herself alive, Chen Tianwu didn't know what to say... No one can feel the passing of his life and where the end of his life is more than a person himself.

Chen Tianwu has already felt it.

He used his last strength to ask Anna: "What's your... name?"

The girl's hand trembled after the injection, she calmed down, and said in a slightly crying voice: "My name is Anna-Anna Shaniat."

He raised an ugly smile: "Anna... is a beautiful name, just like you."

"Thank you for working so hard to save me... If we can survive, how about we go on a date?"

"How long have you been, and you are still talking about this." After the injection, Anna took away the syringe and said with a smile and shyness while sobbing.

She probably wanted to look slightly blushing, but the half-dead warrior's face was really invisible in Chen Tianwu's eyes, but the emotion in Anna's tone was still very obvious.

"Don't fall asleep, wake up!"

"You don't want to die!"

Sounds like this reached Anna's ears from civilians.

She glanced quickly, and it seemed that a few civilians couldn't hold on and completely "passed out".

But when she looked over, she found that Chen Tianwu's eyes began to wander.

Anna panicked for a moment and shook Chen Tianwu: "Don't fall asleep, wake up, if you fall asleep you will really-"

But Chen Tianwu really couldn't respond to her.

"You don't want to die!"

She squeezed her hands tightly and pressed them on the floor, shaking slightly...

Then he put Chen Tianwu on his back and walked toward the civilians deep inside.

However, what came face to face was the rejection of the civilians who were still awake.

"Don't come here!"

"You're going to turn into the humanoid monster that killed them!"

"leave here!"

"Put him down!"

There were even girls who were able to move and wanted to rush over and snatch Chen Tianwu's body.

Ana stepped back in surprise, avoiding her hand, and then she saw herself in a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the small shop.

"I see... turned into a dead soldier."

Ana raised her arms and her sleeves slowly dropped to her elbows.

Only then did she realize that when she injected the medicine into Chen Tianwu, she could use her left arm again.

only...

Anna's pale arm in the mirror was raised, without a trace of blood.

His fingers, which were as white as the shell of a Honkaiju beast and had skin that looked like inorganic matter, slowly touched his originally beautiful face - at this moment, only the death-like whiteness remained.

She froze on the spot, looking at herself at a loss.

Feeling the breathless bodies of the people on her back, the civilians who were getting weaker and weaker, Anna's spiritual defense collapsed.

She collapsed on the ground, and Chen Tianwu's body rolled aside.

Anna looked at the ugly smile on Chen Tianwu's lips and remembered what the person next to her had just said about her. The smile did not disappear even though his life was no longer detectable.

["Anna...is a beautiful name, just like you."]

["If we can survive, how about we go on a date?"]

Anna, whose consciousness became increasingly blurred, took out the energy pistol in her portable bag and looked at the civilians. Then she stared at Chen Tianwu and whispered: "I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your wish...I don't even want to do it." Know your name."

"If you want to date, it will be in...if there is an underworld."

Then he put the muzzle of the gun to his temple.

"I'm really useless, I just passed the exam..."

"I, can't do anything."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Anna's expression condensed and she pulled the trigger hard!

"Crack..."

"Ok?"

Anna pulled it hard again, but the sound of the trigger mechanism being limited and unable to move was still heard.

"This is?"

Only then did she realize that everything around her, except herself, had lost its color and was completely replaced by a kind of gray.

More importantly, she discovered that some details in the room... such as dust, hot breath, etc., were all banned in the air.

Anna felt that the turbidity of her consciousness stopped and seemed to become clear.

The Honkai energy corrosion mark on Chen Tianwu also disappeared.

In surprise, she briefly glanced at the floor-to-ceiling mirror...her beautiful appearance reappeared, and the bloodless paleness had receded.

"In the end, what's wrong?"

"Ta...ta..." There were footsteps coming from the crumbling door of the shop, and she subconsciously turned her head to look.

He is a black-haired young man wearing a white combat robe with a unique style that combines traditional white robe elements with modern tactical combat uniforms and other equipment. The most eye-catching thing is the pink and purple crystal flower on his chest. , crystal clear and psychedelic, refracting light and full of mystery.

"you are human?"

Anna realized something was wrong with the whole situation. She couldn't tell what kind of person the visitor was.

"..." The visitor was silent for a moment: "My name is Long... Maybe you can call me Long Shaniyat."

"Shaniyat?!" Anna's eyes widened. She had never heard of such a person in Shaniyat's family.

It seemed that he knew what Anna was thinking.

The man who called himself Lon Shaniat said: "You can't know my existence, Anna Shaniat."

"why?"

"Because the history of the Shaniyat family will never know my existence, because I was born far earlier than the original member of [Shaniat]."

"But...your name is Shaniyat?" Anna was confused.

"...Yes. Because I am the original incarnation of the Shaniyat family's stigmata, the manager who exists in your blood and consciousness, so I am Shaniyat, but I am not the original one. Member." The man said.

Anna looked surprised: "Stigm? And it's an incarnation? I've heard about it and read relevant records. In history, some people were born with the ability to awaken the stigmata, and now the Valkyrie also has artificial stigmata... Shaniat Does the family also have a stigmata? A stigmata...can also turn into a human being?"

She was filled with doubts... As far as she knew, since the records of the Shaniyat family began, she had never heard of any Shaniyat member awakening the stigmata.

"Yes, but for some reasons, you were unable to activate the stigmata gene in your body before 99." The man's face remained unchanged, and it was difficult to see any emotional changes from his expression, but his tone was indeed kind, and there was no hostility.

"...Then where is this?" Anna looked at the gray surrounding her.

"This is your thinking... There is no need to say more, you will know it later." The man said this, spreading his fingers and pointing at Anna: "Now, I want to ask you a deal."

"what?"

"I will grant you the ability to awaken the stigmata and become the one who awakens the stigmata..." The man looked at Chen Tianwu beside Anna and the civilians.

Anna also followed his gaze, her body trembled, and she clasped her hands in front of her anxiously and asked quickly: "Can I save them by becoming a Stigma Awakener?"

"No, but I can let you absorb all the Honkai energy around here to awaken your stigmata - so that they and the surrounding civilians who are still resisting death can survive."

"What's the price?"

"...Your current human body will be completely replaced by another way of existence, but it will still be controlled by your own spirit. In terms of the result, it will not be any different from controlling the perception of ordinary human bodies, but more Developed some more peculiar senses to explore the world."

"Such a price is too generous compared to what you can gain."

"Make your choice."

There was an inexplicable light in the man's eyes, as if he was expecting something.

Anna's joyful mood felt as if she had fallen into a deep valley... She looked at Chen Tianwu, who was silent, and at the civilians behind her who were also "fazed".

"..."

She stood up with a determined look on her face and put her fist on her chest: "I will do it!"

"I want to save them, I want to save everyone."

"I am Anna Shaniyat, a member of Shaniyat's tribe!"

"It's just a physical body, that's nothing."

The man's eyes were filled with brilliance. A ball of pink-purple light appeared in his outstretched hand, and a symbol appeared on the light.

Anna was familiar with it...that symbol was the crest of the Shaniyat family.

Like a blooming flower.

"Today you will be reborn, Anna Shaniat."

As the man's voice emerged, the light bloomed violently, even covering his figure.

Anna understood what was going on and quietly waited for the light to come.

At the moment when the light comes, synchronize with reality.

Her body was like an erased painting, slowly disappearing in the eyes of the civilians who were still awake.
