Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 200 Illusion (4)

Without the slightest hesitation, the captain decisively rolled to the side. Sure enough, a throwing knife slashed across the spot where the captain's neck had been. If the captain had been even a second slower, his head might have said goodbye to his body.

But it wasn't over yet. Fu Hua, whose cognition was distorted, also temporarily lost control of her body because her consciousness was in a state of struggle. This allowed the Law Enforcement Agency to take advantage of her. The captain, seeing this, hurriedly used the Heavenly Fire Judgment to block Fu Hua's full-force attack.

However, the captain was also knocked away by Fu Hua, who then flashed behind the captain and delivered a fatal blow to his spine.

If he were hit by this blow, he would be left with paralysis even if he didn't die. So the captain immediately converted his greatsword into dual pistols and fired them behind him, trying to force Fu Hua to dodge.

As it turned out, the captain's choice was correct. After all, Fu Hua's body in this world did not possess the warrior's extremely strong healing ability and immortality, and she would still be in trouble if hit by the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Thus, the captain successfully escaped another disaster. Afterwards, the captain and Fu Hua had several more rounds of combat. Strangely, despite the commotion, no one came to watch.

Therefore, the captain boldly speculated that this place exists under the control of Fu Hua's consciousness. As long as Fu Hua's consciousness has a problem, this place will become quite unstable, and the fact that the campus is empty is just one of the manifestations of this.

Following this line of thought, the captain successfully found the weak point of this space by understanding consciousness and power, and finally made contact with the outside world.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

The captain's voice came through the monitoring equipment, nearly scaring Tesla half to death, who was completely focused on the data. In the end, Kevin took the microphone.

"I can hear you. How's it going?"

"I encountered some unexpected problems here. Although I didn't awaken Kiana and Fu Hua's consciousness, I did shake Fu Hua's consciousness. You should be able to see something different in the data outside now."

Upon hearing this, Tesla quickly compared the data before and after, and found that, just as the captain had said, one piece of data had changed slightly.

“Yes, it is.” Tesla told the captain the data, then asked, puzzled, “But what’s the use of this data?”

"It's not very useful to me, but it might be very useful to you."

"why?"

Kevin answered before the captain could reply.

"Because this data represents the coordinates of Shi Lu in the consciousness space, as long as I can accurately locate her coordinates, I can forcibly use Feather Dust to completely erase Shi Lu."

"But Yu Duchen has already been captured by Shi Lu, hasn't he? Are you really capable of doing this?"

"Maybe I can't do it alone, but with her by my side, it will be fine."

Before Tesla could ask a question, a voice suddenly came from inside the room, giving her the answer.

"Kevin, you're as perceptive as ever. You sensed me as soon as I got back?"

The figure of the Herald of Knowledge slowly appeared before everyone.

“Fu Hua?!” Tesla exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey hey hey! Don't confuse me with that old relic. I am the great Herrscher of Knowledge. I'll let it slide since it's your first offense."

Upon hearing this, Tesla immediately became alert: "The Herrscher of Knowledge?! Damn it! How could it have been created so quickly?! Could it be that you two are actually being controlled by her?!"

“You flatter me too much,” said the Herrscher of Knowledge. “While I am confident that I can go toe-to-toe with Kevin, I cannot completely control him.”

"After all, the precepts have been etched into my brain, and the power of consciousness has no effect on me."

"So what on earth is going on?!" Tesla shouted in a state of near collapse.

"Although I'd like to explain it to you," the Herrscher of Knowledge waved her hand and said, "but time is tight right now, I'll talk to you later."

"Xiao Shi? Is Xiao Shi back?"

The captain's voice, filled with surprise, came through the speakers.

"I told you not to call me Xiaoshi! Fine, Captain, listen carefully. Because I was tricked by the Honkai consciousness, during the time I was away, this feather was specially protected by the Herrscher of Consciousness of this world. So, if you can awaken either the old relic or Kiana, I have a way to completely resolve this matter!"

The captain could only manage a wry smile. He wanted to too, but the other side wouldn't give him the chance!

The good news is that as Fu Hua gradually regained consciousness, he could clearly feel that the force of Fu Hua's attack was weakening.

At the same time, St. Freya Academy also sounded the alarm. After many years, a Honkai event had finally occurred on Earth, and in the neighboring Sky City, some young and ambitious Valkyries were already gearing up for a fight.

Unfortunately, Cecilia's announcement of the list brought joy to some and sorrow to others. As expected, it included the Kiana sisters and their partners Mei and Bronya.

Although the four of them were the top team in both physical fitness and combat tests, they were only held back by Diana in the cultural aspect. Choosing them to go to the Honkai outbreak site to resolve the incident was indeed the best option.

However, the person leading the team was Theresa, which inevitably made some people with ulterior motives suspect that the higher-ups wanted to use this Honkai event to glorify Kiana and Diana.

After all, everyone knows the three great families of Destiny: Apocalypse, Schariac, and Kaslana. This school was founded by the contemporary saint Cecilia, and Kiana and Diana are the children of Cecilia, who is the headmistress of the academy, and Siegfried, the patriarch of the Kaslana family.

Theresa is also their godmother. More importantly, Theresa's surname is Apocalypse, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will also be the next patriarch of Apocalypse and the Archbishop of Schicksal.

Such a lineup is bound to spark speculation, but such rumors only lasted a short while before dissipating, because the Schicksal headquarters will also be coming to provide support, and Cecilia, as an S-class Valkyrie, will also be going to the battlefield.

Just now, the Schicksal headquarters confirmed that this was not an ordinary Honkai event, but the third Great Honkai caused by the Herrscher!

Meanwhile, in Sky City.

The area around the Golden Academy was engulfed in flames, with assassins and Honkai Beasts everywhere. The Golden Courtyard, located nearby, was also affected.

"Shhhhh!"

A series of clean, sharp flashes of light sliced ​​the tank-class Honkai Beast in front of a woman with short brown hair into pieces. The woman was clearly terrified, and the next second, a beautiful figure grabbed her hand and pulled her away from where she stood.

"Pado, don't be afraid, run!"

"Sister Ying!" The woman called Pado burst into tears the moment she saw who was grabbing her and running away.

The person she called Sister Sakura was a resident of Golden Courtyard, just like her. A while ago, Sakura was still at work when, unexpectedly, her colleagues, who were fine in the morning, suddenly turned into zombies like those in zombie movies, frantically attacking and eating the people around them.

Realizing something was wrong, Sakura picked up a utility knife from the table and began her escape. Wherever she went, she dealt with all the assassins one by one with the utility knife.

Although he was somewhat curious about why he had such strong fighting skills, his immediate priority was to quickly ascertain the safety of his younger sister Rin and his companions in the Golden Garden.

Fortunately, Ling is currently studying in another city, so I can find out if anything has happened to her with just a phone call, provided that the communication system is still functioning properly.

Just as she had predicted, the communication system in Sky City was now paralyzed. Hiding in a safe room, Sakura looked at her phone, which showed no signal, and finally turned it off and put it in her pocket.

However, since she couldn't contact Rin for the time being, she decided to check on the Golden Garden first. With that in mind, after quickly replenishing her supplies, Sakura quietly opened the door. After confirming that there were no assassins lingering at the door, she immediately rushed towards the Golden Garden, which led to the thrilling scene just now.

“Speaking of Qianjie, where is he now?” Sakura asked.

"Jie went out to fight the monsters as soon as he discovered them, but he was outnumbered and only managed to get one or two of them in," Pado replied. "Jie should still be at the main entrance now!"

"I understand."

As she spoke, Sakura changed direction and ran towards the main gate. Originally, she planned to return the way she came and retreat through the side gate, but Qianjie was still holding off the monsters at the main gate. With her current strength, she should be able to deal with just a few monsters, so Sakura decided to go to the main gate to rescue people first!

"Huff! Huff! Sister Sakura, wait... wait for me! I can't keep up!"

Pado said, panting heavily as she ran. Strangely, even though Pado saw that Sakura's speed was no longer the speed of a normal person, Pado was still able to keep up. Even though Pado was panting, her speed did not slow down at all.

In order to make running easier, she even took off her mascot costume, revealing that she was only wearing underwear.

Sakura simply glanced back at it without saying anything. After all, survival is the most important thing in the face of disaster, and dressing lightly to survive is not a big deal.

Before long, the two arrived at the main gate, but the battle here had ended and the air was inexplicably hot. Flame marks appeared on the ground around Qianjie, and the monsters were covered with large areas of burns.

"Qianjie, are you alright?"

"what?"

Qianjie casually tossed aside the Honkai Beast he was holding and turned to look in Sakura's direction. Although he was wearing a mask, Sakura could still clearly sense a strong killing intent.

"Oh, it's you."

Upon recognizing the person approaching, Qianjie's killing intent vanished at a visible speed.

"So, you're saying it was you, Sakura, who saved this kitten?"

"Are you alright, Qianjie?" Sakura asked worriedly.

"Me? Haha! Of course I'm fine." Qianjie laughed loudly. "You could even say I'm perfectly fine now! I've never felt so good!"

Pado, standing to the side, trembled. Why did she feel that Qianjie was more dangerous than those monsters?

Standing next to Pado, Sakura naturally sensed Pado's fear, so she spoke up to interrupt Qianjie's loud laughter.

"Put those aside for now. The most urgent thing is to find the other people, or at least confirm their situation."

"I think you don't need to confirm my situation with Su."

Kevin's voice came from the doorway. The man with dark green hair and closed eyes standing behind him was the Su he had mentioned.

Looking at the tattered baseball bat in Kevin's hand, Sakura could imagine how Kevin had gotten here. What she didn't expect was that Kevin could actually travel all the way from his company to the hospital where Su was interning, and then from the hospital all the way here.

It should be noted that the hospital where Su was located was more than ten kilometers away from Golden Courtyard, almost spanning the entire Sky City. However, Kevin not only appeared to be unharmed but also didn't even seem to be out of breath, as if facing the current situation was as easy and effortless as jogging a kilometer or two.

"Speaking of plums, what about them?"

“She’s fine,” Kevin said. “Just before the communications system crashed, Mei sent a message to my phone saying that the disaster only affected Sky City and some surrounding areas, and that her city and Ling’s city were not affected. She told me to let you know not to worry.”

"That's good!"

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Kevin's words, but their crisis was not yet resolved, so they could not completely relax.

"What about the rest?"

"Sister Eden said she has to go to school today, and she should be with Ahua now, so her safety should be guaranteed. After all, you all know how skilled Ahua is. Sister Nia should still be on her way back from the hospital, and we don't know if she has encountered any danger. Sister Snake should be relatively safe for the time being because she has to stay in the lab today. As for Little Gretchen and Kosmo, they should still be at school."

Pado's report prompted Sakura to consider their next move. Aponia's return route passed by Gretchen and Kosmo's school; theoretically, the three should be together now. With luck, setting off now should allow them to meet halfway. Möbius's laboratory was an official Sky City laboratory, ensuring sufficient security.

With Eden by Fu Hua's side and the Golden Academy's internal defenses practically impregnable, theoretically there wasn't much danger. Let's go meet up with Aponia and the others first.

Having made her decision, Sakura began to lead everyone into action, the first things to prepare being food, transportation, and weapons for self-defense.

Upon receiving the instructions, everyone began to split up. First, Qianjie returned to the kitchen to take stock of the remaining ingredients, and then took a few knives and modified them into a simple weapon.

Sakura returned to her room and took out her treasured katana. Finally, everyone gathered in the hall and reinforced the main part of the Golden Garden. After all, they were only going out to find their companions and would have to come back here later to discuss whether to wait for rescue or break out directly.

Finally, the group arrived at the garage, where Eden had collected vehicles from all over the world. Among them was a military amphibious vehicle, which was their target for the trip, as it was the only one in the collection capable of withstanding the attack of the suicide squad.

So, amidst the roar of the car engines, the group began their journey to find their companions.
