People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

In the center of St. Freya Academy, there is a cathedral, and the church is only the surface disguise of this building. In the basement of the church, there is a laboratory that is one of the largest in the destiny.

This is the laboratory where Otto once tried to replicate the holy blood of Shaniyat. Of course, the experiment is now over, and Otto has proved that the holy blood cannot be replicated. However, the equipment here has not been moved away, and the terminal can still be directly connected to the Destiny headquarters.

Theresa decided to go here and use her authority as an S-class Valkyrie to see if she could find anything.

At night, Theresa, contrary to her usual shy attitude, pestered Xia Ling to prepare for bed as never before.

Xia Ling, who immediately had a guess in her mind, naturally chose to cooperate with Theresa. After lying down for a while, she immersed her mind in the system space and pretended to be asleep.

Then, Xia Ling watched in the system space as Theresa slowly crawled out of her arms, put on her clothes, and climbed out of the window.

Shortly after Theresa went out, Xia Ling, who was standing at the window, clearly saw a white-haired kid following her out stealthily.

"It seems that the plot is finally about to begin..."

......

【Pigeon Theater】

"I have good news and bad news for you, Xia Ling."

"what?"

Xia Ling, who had just been summoned, looked up in confusion.

"The good news is that we have a knight this time, and we got the bone blood."

"That's good. This game should be able to have a second ending."

"Don't worry, there's more bad news."

"What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that except for you, the new recruit, everyone else has had rejection reactions."

Hai Mo pulled off a tentacle that had inexplicably grown from his body and threw it aside: "Moreover, it is a deformation of flesh and blood."

"Don't worry, trust the knight. As long as the knight can hold on, we can just output damage."

Xia Ling was not too worried: "By the way, what is the next node?"

"Emergency out of control."

"send."

Chapter 4 Xia Ling: You optimized me?

In the underground laboratory of St. Freya's Central Church.

"Search for information related to 'Second Collapse' and 'Dream'."

Theresa stood in front of the huge host, her fingers sliding across the screen floating in front of her.

[1453 relevant records were found in the core database of Tianming. ]

"Bring them all out to me."

[Because 1452 of the records are related to the Xilin Project and are classified as top secret, your access rights are not sufficient to view them. ]

"Tsk, were they all hidden by grandpa..."

Theresa frowned. Although she was prepared, she still didn't expect that only one of the records could be consulted.

"What about the remaining one?"

[On February 2000, 2, at the Babylon Laboratory in Siberia, there are relevant records.]

"That's it... Damn it, it was at that time..."

Theresa's face was a little gloomy. She was almost certain that the only record left in front of her must have been left for her by her grandfather on purpose. She herself couldn't explain what conspiracy was behind it.

However, Kiana's current situation does not allow for any further delay. If Sirin's consciousness awakens again in Kiana's body one day, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, even though she knows that this is a trap, Theresa has to try her best to find any clues.

"Database, help me retrieve the relevant records."

[As you command, Lady Theresa.]

At this time, outside the laboratory door, a white-haired ball was peeking around stealthily.

"Hey, Theresa and the screen have disappeared. I have to follow them in quickly."

Seeing Theresa enter the data space, Kiana was slightly stunned and quickly followed into the laboratory.

[The virtual space is completed. Time: 2000:2 pm on February 7, 3. Location: Babylon Laboratory, Siberia.]

"Hmm? Where is this place?"

......

Outside the underground church, Xia Ling took off her raincoat hat and slowly emerged from the air as she watched Theresa and Kiana disappear one after another.

"Just like the original plot, Theresa and Kiana went in one after the other."

"It's just that Kiana entered the data space that Otto prepared specifically for her, while Theresa was searching for information normally."

"Well, it can be confirmed."

Xi's voice rang out in the channel: "Bishop Otto has given us an order, saying that the prey has walked into the trap, and ordered us to go to Saint Freya immediately."

"Except for Fu Hua who is still kept in the dark, I, Rita and Yulandel have already started rushing to Saint Freya at full speed."

"Otto's actions are really fast... And, doesn't this mean that Kiana is indeed on the same path as in the original plot?"

Xia Ling sighed, not knowing whether she was feeling melancholy or relief.

"That's fine, this way I just need to wait for you to get here, right?"

"No, on the contrary, you might have to get busy."

"?"

"According to the information I just received, Otto has recently urgently prepared a far greater amount of Houkai energy than before."

"It seems that he got some inspiration from Wendy. He plans to 'replenish' more Honkai energy for Sirin to increase her strength."

"From what he said, at least we should let Xilin use the ability of the Space Law to a certain extent and unleash the ability of the Serenity Gem."

"Ah?" Xia Ling was confused now: "No, why? Did he think that Xilin's core Ji Zi didn't die fast enough?"

"Uh..." Xi was silent for a moment: "Although Otto didn't say it, I think it might be because of... you."

"I?"

"That's right. My mission in this operation to bring Kiana back is to counter your ability."

"I guess Otto's temporary decision to raise Xilin's strength was based on the same consideration. Although Rita has given you an approximate estimate of your strength, Otto always seems to have calculated your strength to be a level higher in his plans."

"It can be understood that he believes that you will explode when you encounter such a situation and display abilities beyond your usual level."

"Hiss—Does Otto think so highly of me?" Xia Ling felt a slight headache.

"Anyway, originally you wanted to wait and see what happens, waiting for us to come over and follow the plot as normal, but that's probably not possible now."

"My suggestion is that you try to make things harder for Sirin's awakening. That way, Kiana's consciousness won't be fully asleep, and Otto will consume more Houkai energy when he awakens Sirin."

"That's it. I have to prepare a battle plan here. Good luck."

Xi left the channel immediately after leaving a long message in a hurry, leaving Xia Ling standing outside the laboratory with a confused look on her face.

"..."

"Although I have to make things difficult for Otto, given the current situation, if I had gone in directly with Kiana, I would probably have been taken to a different data space like Theresa."

"Use Jizo Soul? No, not to mention that Otto must have taken precautions. The direction of that data space is basically controlled by Xilin. Jizo Soul can't do anything to the power of the Herrscher Core."

“…Right!”

Xia Ling suddenly remembered something.

It seems that the system can also manipulate the data space, but because of the incident in Paradise at that time, they did not dare to let the system do such a thing again.

Now, it seems there is no other choice...

"System, system, come out quickly, your dear host needs your help!"

[Ah? Host, what's up? I'm still working on Ai Xiaote's deadline.]

"Put that aside for now. Look at the current situation. Can you bring me into the data space where Kiana is without being discovered by Otto and Xilin?"

[What? After such a long time, host, you are willing to let me go again...]

"Don't be too happy yet. Let me make it clear first. The hard premise this time is that you can't be discovered. If you are discovered again, Otto will be completely targeted. I may have to consider changing your host."

[Then I have to see the situation first... I wonder if the optimized trial template can still be nested smoothly like last time. ]

Xia Ling's serious voice made the system dare not relax, and it immediately began to check the situation of the data space in front of it.

After a while.

[Hmm... Host, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first? ]

"good news."

[The good news is that I tried it with the trial template and found that it can be nested. ]

"Uh...what about the bad news?"

[The bad news is that I can hack into this data space and hold a great pigeon party, but it seems that you, host, cannot be invited. ]

"Ok?"

"So they optimized me out?"

Chapter 5: Can we play pigeon games in data space?

[That's right, host, you have indeed been optimized out. ]

[I have found your unique identification code in the system. Once your consciousness enters the data space, you will be kicked out immediately under the pretext that the data space is under maintenance.]

"Okay, okay, you dog Otto is playing with me about authority, right?" Xia Ling was so angry that her teeth itched: "He is sure that we will not harm those innocent Valkyries in the headquarters. If there weren't so many people in the headquarters, I would have to use Jizo's soul to show him what floating island collision is!"

[But don't worry, host, I have a way to bypass this restriction using a more clever method. ]

[Although it does not allow you to enter the data space, it can achieve a similar effect. ]

【You can go back to the system space to take a look. 】

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that the system would become reliable one day. I am really relieved... huh?"

Back in the system space, Xia Ling was stunned for a moment when she looked at the pigeon preparation interface on the screen.

"This is......"

[Ahem, although Otto banned your access in the space, he did not ban the generation of your data. ]

[So, I created a data in the data space that is exactly the same as yours, and then you can control this data Xia Ling through the system's trial system template.]

[This Xia Ling will automatically respond based on the host's options and the behavioral data I usually collect.]

[Although it cannot move as flexibly as the host controlling it personally, it is at least better than watching from the outside. 】

"That sounds...not bad?"

[However, the host still cannot be careless. Although Xilin in the data will not directly erase your data because she does not want to destroy the logic of the event, she can definitely use some reasonable reasons to transfer you away. ]

[Especially in the original work, in the sixth chapter, Kiana and Cecilia's solo story, she will definitely not let you participate. ]

"It doesn't matter. It's fine as long as I can participate in half of the plot. As long as Kiana can realize to a certain extent that this is just a piece of data and not treat this data as reality like in the original work, it will be fine."

[So, the host wants to strengthen Kiana's impression of you? ]

"That's right, but how to do it depends on the situation."

Xia Ling clicked on the formation details on the screen, and Xia Ling's data immediately popped up on the screen.

[Xia Ling, A-rank Valkyrie, good friend of Valkyrie Theresa, often acts with Theresa.]

[The current team has one member, and the number of members that can be deployed at the same time is one. ]

[Current team: Elite Squad of the Fate Valkyrie. During the battle, temporary operators will be added according to the plot changes.]

[Current health value: 3/15]
