People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

Theresa looked skeptical: "Your process is too brief. It's hard not to wonder who these so-called friends of yours are."

"Ahem... This is really inconvenient to disclose. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the other party's identity is a bit sensitive."

Xia Ling silently looked away.

"Sensitive? Could it be grandpa?" Theresa became even more suspicious.

"Ahem, that's definitely not the case. First of all, she's a woman." Xia Ling shook her head repeatedly.

"But grandpa can indeed become a woman."

"I always feel that you have a big misunderstanding of Bishop Otto..." Xia Ling tried to make up for Otto.

"Anyway, it's good that it's not Grandpa." Theresa put her hands on her hips and decided to let Xia Ling go. "As for your friends... since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. If you think you can tell me, then tell me. If you can't... it doesn't matter."

"Huh? Theresa, why are you so easy to talk to today?" Now it was Xia Ling's turn to be confused. She had originally planned to reveal a little information about the paradise in the afterlife, but she didn't expect that Theresa had no intention of pursuing the matter at all.

"...It's okay to tell you. Some time ago, I learned that there might be something wrong with my memory for some reason."

Theresa's eyes were a little confused, and she couldn't help but recall what Einstein said to her that day in the basement of St. Freya's Central Church.

"Ms. Theresa, even though you don't remember, I still want to tell you that you, us, Cecilia, Siegfried, and Walter, were good friends who fought side by side on the battlefield of the Second Honkai Impact."

“How is that possible?” Theresa immediately retorted, “My memory isn’t that bad. If I had worked with Anti-Entropy to this extent, I wouldn’t have no memory of it at all.”

"That's because Otto tampered with your memory." Einstein crossed his arms, not at all surprised by Theresa's rebuttal:

"The news of the Second Honkai Impact has not been blocked. If you want to cooperate with Anti-Entropy in the future, you can look at our records about the Second Honkai Impact. Alternatively, you can find someone who specializes in psychic matters to help you remove your seal."

"Of course, if you carefully check your destiny's database, or find a way to contact Siegfried, you should be able to find a lot of clues. There should be a lot of discrepancies between what you remember."

"Later, I did as she said and looked up some information, including some photos of the scene and private visits to some Valkyries." Theresa looked gloomy: "As a result... there are really a lot of discrepancies."

"So, how can I force you to reveal secrets when I can't even guarantee my own memory?"

"Is that so..." Xia Ling patted Theresa's head soothingly: "There will be a chance. I promise you, in a year at most, you will know the people I mentioned."

"When the time comes, maybe I'll give you a surprise."

"Don't touch my head! It won't grow taller!" Theresa held her head and said, "But I'm going to look forward to the surprise you mentioned."

"Compared to this... Theresa, I think you should think about how to explain this to Kiana and the others later."

"!"

"Oh no, we've been chatting for so long without realizing it." Theresa said with a sad face: "Oh no, Kiana and the others will definitely think too much qwq."

......

In the living room downstairs, the three Yujias sat on the long sofa in the middle, looking at Theresa and Xia Ling with different eyes.

Theresa was holding a Homunculus doll to cover her face, her face slightly red.

Xia Ling looked nonchalant. She had just found a pair of fingerless gloves to cover the red mark on the back of her left hand that looked like a Command Seal.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Kiana was the first to attack, but seeing as Bronya looked like she was watching the show, Kiana was probably instigated by her to be the first to take action.

"Oh, I don't know where Xia Ling is; oh, Xia Ling and I have asked for leave." Kiana imitated Theresa's tone of voice during lunch very vividly.

"Pfft." Kiana couldn't hold back after hearing Xia Ling's first sentence.

"You're still laughing!" Theresa glared at the two of them.

"Ahem, stop teasing your dean, or she'll hit you with a Judas."

Xia Ling cleared her throat: "You should also be curious about why Theresa and I have been so close recently."

"It's not because..." Mei glanced at Kiana, the meaning was self-evident.

"Theresa is indeed very cute." Xia Ling tilted her head and dodged the roar thrown by Theresa: "But there is obviously another reason."

"Of course, don't spread this matter around. After all, there are a lot of things involved."

Chapter 23: Villa Island: Will we win?

Then, under the curious eyes of the three people, Xia Ling explained the general situation of the matter again.

Although the three major families don't have to explain it clearly, Xia Ling has already decided to develop some new uses for the Stigmata Space, and our dear protagonists will naturally be the first to be pulled in by Xia Ling as test subjects.

Therefore, some advance explanation is naturally necessary.

"So, Sister Xia Ling is now like the protagonist in those novels, carrying a space with her?"

Kiana looked at the red mark Xia Ling displayed with curiosity.

"It's not that mysterious, but this statement can't be considered wrong."

Xia Ling put on her gloves again: "Right now, the Stigmata Space is not very stable. When Yaezakura has mastered the Stigmata Space a little better, I will bring you in to experience the 'local customs' of Yaezakura."

"Great!" cheered Kiana, who didn't know what she would face next.

"In that case, will Sister Xia Ling still sleep in my aunt's room in the future?"

"of course not!"

"Of course I will!"

Ignoring Theresa's red face, Xia Ling gave her a thumbs up: "Theresa is the cutest in the world! It's absolutely comfortable to hug her while sleeping."

"Who wants to sleep with you?" This time, Theresa threw the pillow on the sofa.

"Hey, can't I just go after you fall asleep?"

Looking at the two people "flirting", the three of them looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

"Sure enough, they still have a relationship!" ×3

In the next few days, Theresa began to suffer intermittent "night attacks" from Xia Ling.

Because Xia Ling's sleeping time was very irregular, the time she went to Theresa's room was also irregular. Therefore, after several failed attempts at prevention, Theresa, who had been half-hearted, simply gave up resisting. While being used as a pillow by Xia Ling, she began to enjoy Xia Ling's plump and soft body relative to her height.

Over in the Stigmata Space, after the summoning time ended, Sakura rushed to the laboratory almost immediately, and began to travel frequently between the Spiral Workshop and the laboratory.

Although Ling has been able to establish communication with Paradise through the erosion virus, she is still unable to survive without the virus and fully control the power of erosion. In view of this, the two doctors have begun to develop a rehabilitation plan.

Therefore, if Ling wants to replenish the erosion virus, she still needs Xia Ling to transport it from the paradise to the holy scar space, but the medium of transportation has changed from Xia Ling himself to Jizo's soul.

And since the bell cannot enter the system space, it is obviously unlikely for Xia Ling to bring the bell back to the paradise.

Therefore, since it was inconvenient for Xia Ling to reveal her identity, Ling stayed in the Stigmata Space first. She was not so eager to go back to the paradise. Moreover, as long as the two doctors made progress in their research, she could easily find her way back by herself through the power of erosion.

With the help of Ling, Yaezakura also began to make drastic changes to the Stigmata Space. Moreover, at Xi's suggestion, Xia Ling asked Yaezakura to set aside a special area in the Stigmata Space for experiments in a trial field that Xia Ling had carefully built for the three major families.

Xia Ling's affairs had just come to an end, and May had already arrived.

The plot is developing normally. At the banquet celebrating Ji Zi's recovery, Fu Hua and Kiana are called to Singapore to start a secret mission, which is the plot of the Moon Shadow chapter of the comics.

Xia Ling had no desire to participate in this plot. After all, it involved a large number of Otto's spies and Cocolia's sight. If she intervened rashly, she would most likely walk into Otto's field of vision in advance.

Compared to this, Xia Ling was actually more interested in another piece of news.

"The purchase process for Raven's villa island has been completed!"

One day, Yan Wei suddenly and excitedly tagged all members in the channel.

Hai Mo: “I have read it.”

Xi: “Add one.”

Xia Ling: "It's not like it's in New Zealand and it just happened to run into the Moon Shadow chapter. Considering the inertia of the world and the flag you set before, I am very worried about the safety of the island."

Yan Wei: "That's impossible. Even if something goes wrong, I will protect Xiaodao!"

Seeing Yan Wei being so heroic, Xia Ling and others silently lit a stick of incense for her.

Xia Ling: "Didn't you say she would tell you the location of the villa island? Where is it?"

Yan Wei: "I didn't ask much, but the approximate location is in Southeast Asia, maybe in the Banda Islands."

Yan Wei: "But I heard her say that she also bought a property on a large island city nearby called Sailan Island as a place for the children to live when they are not on the island."

Yan Wei: "Okay, she asked me to prepare the luggage. I will open the empathy for you when I get there."

"Southeast Asia..." Xia Ling murmured to herself, "Why do I feel like... this place seems a little familiar?"

On the other side, Yanwei and Raven had already started packing their luggage, preparing to take the children to their new home.

"Raven, are you sure the place you found meets the conditions I mentioned before?"

"Oh, this is the fourth time you've asked me this." Raven smiled helplessly, "That place has beautiful scenery, a developed economy, and there are joint projects established by Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and the United Nations. There is absolutely no problem with its development prospects."

"Moreover, considering the safety of the children when we are away, I deliberately bought a property near the Tianming Branch. Not far away is the station of the Valkyries. This is information that I spent a lot of effort to find."

"Besides, didn't I tell you the name? You can look it up yourself."

"Forget it. I believe in your judgment. At least from what you said, it seems to be quite good."

Yan Wei looked at the majority of luggage that had not been packed yet and decisively gave up the idea of ​​searching the place.

Anyway, it doesn't sound like a place with a name in the original book, so there shouldn't be any problem.

......

At this time, in Southeast Asia, on a coral island.

"Captain." A Valkyrie walked into Anna's office. "The villa near us was bought yesterday."

"Ah?" Anna looked confused. "I was planning to buy this place as our goof-off place when my pocket money arrives next month. Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on it?"

"Captain, I've been keeping an eye on them..." The Valkyrie felt very aggrieved: "But the other party is willing to pay a premium to buy the land, and in the name of opening an orphanage. I'm a little afraid..."

"I'm afraid some wealthy businessman or politician has found out about our base and wants to buy a house nearby for peace of mind." Anna took over her words very smoothly.

"Oh, forget it. It's really hard to deal with people like this. After all, our Heavenly Destiny is still a very positive organization. It's really damaging to our image to compete with the orphanage for space, especially since Anti-Entropy and the United Nations are watching here."

"How about this, I'll go over there in a couple of days to see who is buying a safe house near our base."

Chapter 24 Anna: Hehe Raven: No Hehe

Raven was well prepared, and soon the two of them and a group of children boarded a plane to the vicinity of Seran Island.

As for why it is nearby, according to Raven, there seems to be some large-scale project on Seran Island, so civilian aircraft are prohibited from parking or passing nearby.

But it doesn't matter, because there are several cross-sea bridges around Seran Island connecting to the center of the island.

Seeing Raven explaining things to the children in a clear and logical manner, Yan Wei nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Raven was very well prepared.

This sense of relief lasted until they got off the plane and boarded a tourist train to Seram Island.

Because the combination of Raven and his group was rather strange, they might have been mistaken by the locals as teachers from an aristocratic school taking their students on an outing, and after trying to monetize them, they arranged a special carriage for them.

Inside the carriage, Yan Wei listened to the broadcast introducing local scenic spots with a smile on his face.

"Seram Island has a long history and a superior geographical location. In the early 21st century, in order to promote regional cooperation and connections, Southeast Asian countries and Australia began to launch the largest land reclamation project in human history with Seram Island as the center."

"In 2006, Coral Island, which is based on Seram Island and has three super-large island platforms, was officially built. The buildings on the platforms are stacked one after another, and the three-dimensional structure like coral became the origin of the city's name."

"Ok?"

"Wait, did I hear some incredible name?"

"Are you talking about the Coral Island?" Raven asked, looking up and handing over a map. "It's normal that you've heard of it. After all, it was quite famous when the Galaxy Ladder Project was proposed a few years ago."

Yanwei took the map from Raven with slightly trembling hands.

The familiar terrain above suddenly made her feel dark in front of her eyes.

Okay, now it’s confirmed, it’s the Coral Island.

"Reed, what's wrong with you?"

Raven noticed that something was wrong with Flame Reed.

"It's okay... I just feel a little carsick..."

......

"Hahahahahaha!"×3

In the channel, several people let out undisguised laughter.

They were not worried about any problems with the villa island, because even in the case of Anna's sudden transformation in the original work, due to the importance of this location, the surrounding areas were not greatly affected, not to mention that Raven's island was not that close to here.

The most that could happen is the loss of a villa, which is not a big deal for Raven.
