On the occasion of collapse

In his heart, the ghostly voice whispered, like the whisper of a devil.

"The Fourth Herrscher has been obliterated, and the Herrscher core has been recovered."

..........

A few days later, destiny.

"Gudong, Gudong." After drinking strong wine, Bai Zhi sat on the top of the highest tower on the floating island, looking at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance.

"Huh..." Bai Zhi put down the empty wine jar in her hand and let out a long breath.

"Herrscher..." Thinking of the girl who died in her own hands, Bai Zhi thought of how Kiana and Mei Yi insisted on protecting her.

"What is this? Is it the sympathy between the lawyers?"

Bai Zhi doesn't like Kiana because she is an extension of Sirin and the second Herrscher.

Bai Zhi didn't like Raiden Mei because she was the Third Herrscher. Even with Theresa and Himeko as guarantees for her, Bai Zhi never felt that she was safe.

"...Forget it, it has nothing to do with me." With a cold snort, Bai Zhi slowly stood up and looked at the empty wine jars around her.

"I drank too much again, although I don't feel much at all." She bent down and picked up a wine jar. Bai Zhi looked at the ancient jar, seeming a little helpless.

"No more drinks, no more drinks, it's time to go down." Picking up two large wine jars, Bai Zhi walked slowly towards the ground.

She had to take the empty wine jar down first. It was obviously impossible for an ordinary Valkyrie to clean it up from such a high place.

.......

"Sister~ I'm back~" Opening the door, Bai Zhi deliberately cleaned up the smell of alcohol on her body before returning, so as not to be discovered by Fu Ling and make Fu Ling worry.

She likes to drink when she is in a bad mood, and everyone around her knows this.

"Come back?" As usual, Fu Ling was sitting on the balcony reading a book.

"Yes." Nodding, Bai Zhi did not go to Fuling, but obediently walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Although she had carefully checked that there was no alcohol around her, she was still a little worried about being discovered by Fu Ling.

"Drinking?" Without even raising her eyes, Poria could guess that Bai Zhi had drank.

This is not the power of a god, it's just a sister's understanding of her sister.

"Hmm..." Seeing that she was discovered, Bai Zhi was not too surprised. This was not the first time that Poria had caught her drinking.

"Huh." Sighing softly, Poria could guess why Bai Zhi hid and drank.

Closing the book in her hand, Fuling stood up, walked to the living room, and sat next to Bai Zhi.

"Can you tell me why I'm in a bad mood?" She asked softly, and Fuling knew that Bai Zhi needed a listener at this moment.

"...Sister, I'm a little worried..." Bai Zhi pursed her lips and opened her mouth.

"Well, what are you worried about?" Gently holding Bai Zhi's arm, Fu Ling let Bai Zhi lean on her shoulder, hoping that this would bring her a sense of security.

"I'm a little worried that I might have gone too far. I could have taken the Fourth Herrscher away directly, but I killed her in front of them." Bai Zhi does not reject killing. She has killed many people. It didn't matter to her, let alone killing a Herrscher.

"I don't even dare to see Bronya. What will she think of me? A murderer? Or a devil?" But Bronya is different from Bai Zhi. Bronya also regards Wendy as a human being and as a person worthy of being treated. Saved humanity.

But Bai Zhi killed her in front of her.

"Xiao Zhi, you did nothing wrong. If it were me in the past, I would have made the same choice as you." Poria spoke slowly while gently stroking Bai Zhi's little head.

"For humans, Honkai is indeed a disaster, and Herrscher is indeed an enemy. Xiaozhi, you did nothing wrong. Follow your heart and don't lose your way."

But Fuling did not say what was in her heart. She hoped that Bai Zhi could always be happy.

Even though....it's a difficult thing to do.

Xiaozhi, if one day you can save everyone just by pulling the trigger on me.Then, you must not hesitate and shoot that shot firmly...

Chapter 760: Having the power to bear the consequences

One week after the Fourth Herrscher incident in New Zealand, St. Freya Academy.

"Kiana, are you okay?" Mei asked slowly, looking at Kiana who was still a little worried.

"I...I'm fine, Mei. I just feel a little tired." Looking at Mei Yi with a worried face, Kiana forced a smile.

"But..." Mei Yi wanted to say something more, but saw Kiana's silent look and swallowed the words on her lips.

"I understand, Mei, I know that senior Bai Zhi did nothing wrong. It's just..." Speaking slowly, Kiana could now close her eyes and see Wendy's tragic death.

"It's just that I'm not willing to give in. Wendy obviously still has self-awareness, and she obviously has a chance to defeat Honkai..." Biting her lower lip, Kiana lowered her head and said unwillingly.

"If I were stronger, would I be able to bear the possible consequences of doing that? Wouldn't it be...Wendy wouldn't die?"

"Kiana..." Looking at Kiana like this, Mei didn't know what she could say to comfort her. The power of words was often feeble.

"...I know, Mei, I know that killing Wendy is the way to minimize the loss. I know that Senior Bai Zhi did that to prevent a bigger disaster from happening again. I believe that Wendy can I can do it, but I don’t have the power to bear the consequences.”

"So, I have decided, Mei, that I will become stronger, strong enough to bear the consequences of my choices." Recalling the spell that appeared in her dream, Kiana bit her lips, but she was already Secretly made up his mind.

She wants to become stronger!Become stronger!

........

Meanwhile, the training ground.

"Ding." He picked up the coin on his fingertips and caught it again when it fell.

Bai Zhi leaned against the wall of the training ground, repeating this boring and boring action out of boredom.

'When you chose Bronya, Bronya also chose you. '

Bronya's words echoed in her mind, and Bai Zhi, who felt a little irritated, failed to catch the coin and let it fall straight to the ground.

"Gululu..." The coin that fell to the ground rolled forward along the ground until it hit a pair of high heels and slowly stopped.

Bending down to pick up the coins on the ground, Ji Zi looked at Bai Zhi who was leaning on the pillar and walked slowly over.

"Senior Bai Zhi, your coin." Handing the coin in her hand, Ji Zi did not choose to comfort Bai Zhi or persuade her.

Bai Zhi has lived much longer than her and knows more, so she doesn't need to point fingers.

"Thank you, Ji Zi." Seeing the person coming, Bai Zhi reached out to take the coin back and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Would you like to have a drink? Kiana and the others will only come here in the afternoon." Looking at Bai Zhi who was obviously not in a good mood, Ji Zi said suggestively.

"No, I drank too much the past few days and was banned from drinking." She said slowly. She drank too much in one go a few days ago. After knowing this, Fuling ordered her not to drink for a month.

"Really? Then it seems that Senior Bai Zhi, you have really made Senior Fuling angry." Leaning next to Bai Zhi, Ji Zi said jokingly.

"Yes, my sister was really angry after knowing that I drank so much. She didn't cook dinner that day, so I had to go to the cafeteria to have a meal." There was nothing strange about the atmosphere between the two. Originally, Bai Zhi The dull mood was slightly relieved by Ji Zi's arrival.

"Really? Senior Fu Ling seems to be really angry." Just like an after-dinner chat between friends, Ji Zi and Bai Zhi kept talking, chatting about insignificant topics.

Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, Bai Zhi, who was originally in a dull mood, felt much better.

"Thank you, Ji Zi, it seems I'm still a little nervous." Bai Zhi took a long breath, looked at Ji Zi beside her, and thanked her.

"It doesn't matter, we are friends, aren't we? Senior Bai Zhi." Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ji Zi waved her hand. It is normal for friends to help each other.

"Anyway, after chatting with you for a while, my mood has indeed improved a lot." Bai Zhi said slowly after taking a long breath.

"Is it because of Bronya?" Seeing that Bai Zhi was indeed much better, Ji Zi asked the reason.

"Yes, I killed Wendy in front of them. I don't know what Bronya will think of me." Perhaps it was because Jizi was already a mature Valkyrie, and Bai Zhi didn't have much worries about Jizi.

"...Bronya is a very sensible child, she will understand you." In fact, Jizi knew exactly what Bronya would think, because her feelings were similar to Bronya's.

I can understand what Bai Zhi is doing, but I can't agree with it.

"That's it..." Although she heard the general answer from Ji Zi's mouth, Bai Zhi was not reassured.

Bronya...Does she think she's scary?

Yes, Bai Zhi doesn't care what Kiana and Mei think of her. She cares about what Bronya thinks of her.

Do you think...she is a bad person?

No, that's not right, she is a bad person to begin with.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about this, let's go, Jizi, are you interested in having a drink?" Shaking her head, Bai Zhi threw these questions behind her and stopped thinking about them.

"Huh? But Senior Fu Ling doesn't allow you to drink?" Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ji Zi was obviously shocked.

"Oh, sister won't know if you don't tell her. Let's go for a walk and have a drink. I've saved a lot of wine at Teresa's place." Bai Zhi waved her hand and said that this place is so far away from the floating island. As long as Ji Zi didn't tell Bai Zhi, Fuling would definitely not know that she was drinking.

Besides, it will be more than half a month and a month before she goes back, and the alcohol prohibition period has passed.

"Where's Teresa!?" Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ji Zi's eyes lit up instantly.

Theresa’s place is full of good wine!You would be a fool not to drink!

"Walk!!"

Chapter 761 The Far North, the Bitter Cold Land

"Kiana, are you really okay? How about I help you get a leave for Teacher Jizi, and you can have a good rest in the dormitory for this afternoon's task." Looking at Kiana worriedly, Mei said softly As he said that, he seemed really worried about Kiana's condition.

"Mei, I'm fine." Kiana, who shook her head and looked slightly pale, covered her eyes and said slowly, resisting the sudden sting.

If someone looks at her eyes carefully, they can see that there is a hint of gold in her blue eyes.

"Sister Mei Yi, if Kiana says she is fine, don't ask anymore." Bronya on the side looked at Kiana, who was holding on, and Mei Yi, who was full of worry, and silently stretched out her hand to tug Mei Yi's arms. Sleeves.

"Okay..." After Bronya said this, Mei Yi also knew that she was concerned and confused, so she could only not mention it for the time being.

"We're here. This is the meeting place that Teacher Himeko said." Bronya glanced at the map Himeko sent her on the terminal. She glanced at the overlapping positions and turned to Mei and Kiana slowly. said.

It's just a little strange that the message was sent in the morning, a bit too early.

"Are we here? But where is Teacher Himeko?" Mei said with some confusion after looking around but not finding Himeko.

"Boom..." A wine jar rolled down in front of the three of them. The three of them subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the place where the wine jar fell.

"No need to look for it, Ji Zi is not here." Sitting on the outstretched hand of the statue, Bai Zhi also held a bottle of wine in her hand. It seemed that she had finished drinking the wine jar that was thrown down.

Looking at the stunned three people, Bai Zhi took a deep breath and jumped off the statue.

"I told you that after the mission is over, I will take you to the real borderland to perform the mission. Now, it is the time I said. You don't have to worry about the courses in the academy. I have already arranged them for you. A month's vacation." Bai Zhi said slowly, approaching the three of them, and finally stood in front of them.

The strong smell of alcohol clearly passed into the nostrils of the three of them. Especially Bronya frowned deeply when she smelled the strong smell of alcohol.

"How much have you drunk?" Bronya frowned and asked subconsciously.

"...I didn't drink much." Faced with Bronya's question, Bai Zhi subconsciously looked away and said with a guilty conscience.

She had already drunk Jizi and vomited her. Of course she drank a lot...

"..." Bronya didn't say anything, she just looked at her angrily.

"Okay, okay, let's drink some and knock your teacher Jizi to sleep." Looking at Bronya's slightly frowned brows, Bai Zhi knew that she couldn't hide it today.

Sure enough, Bronya's face looked better after hearing Bai Zhi's truth.

"Let's not talk about this first. Although I don't know if you are ready, but unfortunately, we will set off now, immediately, immediately." The transport plane landed behind Bai Zhi, and the air flow stirred up caused Bai Zhi's coat and long hair to fly. Let the three people know that Bai Zhi is serious.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three people's attention was attracted by the transport plane behind them, Bai Zhi quietly glanced at the remaining sip of wine in her hand.

"..." After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi silently threw the wine jar aside.

Forget it, Bronya doesn’t like her drinking too much.

"Get on board."

Because Jizi informed them today because of the mission, the three of them were already dressed and ready to go now.

Bai Zhi didn't give them any more time to prepare. How could they delay in executing the task?

This time Bai Zhi's destination is very clear. The far north is also...Bronya's hometown.

Siberia.

..........

Russia, Eastern Siberia region.

This is the edge of the Arctic and the most difficult place in Siberia to live in.

At the same time, this is also the place where the collapse disaster is the most serious and terrifying.

"Ugh..." The transport plane landed on the ground, and the cabin door slowly opened. Cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed into the cabin, making the three unprepared girls shiver violently.
