The spirit of the broken world

next day

Xingkong walked into the bright sunshine and came to Theresa's office.

"Principal, here I come!"

When she opened the door, she saw Theresa sorting the documents on the table.

"Okay, just wait a moment, there are only a few files left."

Theresa raised her head and then immediately lowered her head and continued working.

Starsky sat on the sofa and took out a lollipop from his pocket.

"Do you like sweets that much?" the system asked.

"Sweet things will make you feel better. Do you want to try them?"

"No."

After a few minutes, Theresa organized the files, walked out, and sat on the sofa.

"Do you know about the original stigmata?"

"A little understanding of the huge power contained in human blood."

"This is what I want to tell you. I didn't come to you when you went to training the day before yesterday."

Theresa sighed softly.

"That guy Himeko only has nearly a year left to live."

"what?!"

Xingkong's eyes widened with shock on his face.

“Only by finding the original stigmata can Jizi’s life be extended.

But the original stigmata is too rare, so I searched a lot of information and finally found the legendary warrior Ji Lin on that ancient land who suppressed the giant beast Chi You and protected the common people.

In those ancient times, I can't think of any other power that could defeat Honkaimon except the Stigmata. "

"Is the news reliable?"

"I asked the bishop whether these are true. It's just geological changes over thousands of years. The Jiuyou who Ji Lin once suppressed Chi You has disappeared. I only know that it is in the South China Sea area of ​​​​China."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

Xingkong suddenly stood up and said loudly.

"sit down."

Theresa patted the table.

"Principal, please continue."

Xingkong sat down obediently and said.

"It would be nice if it was as easy as you said, but Shenzhou and our destiny are not superior and subordinate, but a cooperative relationship.

Not to mention that it has considerable power in itself, the most important thing is that there is an immortal there who has been guarding China since the mythical era. "

Theresa rubbed her temples with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Ah this..."

Xingkong twitched the corners of his mouth. Immortals who have lived for thousands of years are indeed very powerful.

"What's even more outrageous is that this is their totem - the dragon."

Theresa said, passing a piece of paper in front of him, and what was drawn on it was the dragon totem.

"According to the most secret records of Tianming, there really was a... dragon that protected them in ancient China."

"........."

Xingkong was silent for a while before speaking.

"Logically speaking, with such a powerful existence, why would they still cooperate with your destiny?"

"Because these two people have not appeared again in the past few hundred years."

Theresa changed her posture and continued.

"But fortunately, China has a good relationship with our Saint Freya. I have discussed it with them today and they should give me an answer tomorrow.

No matter what the cost, we must search for the stigmata. "

Theresa stopped talking, and Xingkong watched as the dragon totem began to communicate with the system.

"System, do you know the immortal and the dragon?"

"I only know about immortals, but I really don't know about the dragon."

"Who is that immortal?"

"Far in the sky, right in front of you."

"Get away, all the Riddlers!"

Xingkong paused for a few seconds, organized his words and continued to ask.

"Um...can Jizi live with the stigmata?"

"It can extend her lifespan, but it can't remove the erosion caused to her by the artificial stigmata."

"What should I do?"

"Have you forgotten your abilities, idiot."

"Um... can I use the sealing master's [closure]?"

"Don't you know much about your own power?"

"I only have theory, no practice."

Xingkong sighed and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Then go experiment on your own and don't bother me."

There was a hint of impatience in the system's voice.

"cut."

"Okay, Xingkong, please go back first, I still have things to do."

Theresa stood up and said, then returned to her desk and started organizing information.

"Okay, goodbye, principal."

After Xingkong finished speaking, he left here.

"Go to the training room again and practice the use of strength."

Looking at the blue sky, the stars murmured to themselves.

The next day

Xingkong received a call from Theresa asking him to go to the Valkyrie dormitory to discuss the mission.

As he was about to arrive, he happened to run into Theresa who was also coming.

"Principal, did you agree so quickly?"

"I'm also very surprised, but Shenzhou did agree to our exploration, but it was only for us, Saint Freya, and the power of destiny was not allowed to intervene, although I didn't have that idea in the first place."

Theresa shrugged and said she didn't understand either.

After a while, everyone gathered around the coffee table, and Theresa placed a small device on the coffee table.

Then the map of China began to be projected in the air.

"Based on the information I found, I can roughly infer that what we are looking for is here."

Theresa said, pointing to the continental shelf of the South China Sea and the deep sea beyond.

"Director, the scope can actually be smaller."

Fu Hua crossed out some of the continental shelf on the map.

"Well, I understand that the squad leader is here. After all, she is from China. Why are you guys here?"

Xingkong looked at the three people on one side and asked in confusion.

"Cough cough."

Theresa coughed twice for some reason, and her eyes were a little wandering.

"Of course it's because I will bear all the expenses for this mission."

Yin Wuzuo smiled slightly and said softly.

"Principal, are we so short of funds here?"

Xingkong asked very strangely.

"What do you think? Our expenses here are already high, and we don't have a large source of income. In addition, there is no support from Tianming for this operation. It would be better if we can save a little. They happen to be going anyway."

Theresa said so.

"Hoshikora-san, our Otonashi family is a big family no matter what, so I can still afford to borrow some funds."

Otonashi looked at the starry sky and said with a smile.

"Should I say something like, rich woman asking for support at this time?"

Xingkong clicked his chin, and then said something shocking.

The scene suddenly fell into silence, Otonashi's mouth twitched, Theresa was stunned, Jizi paused and then continued drinking, Bronya's expression did not change at all, and Fu Hua pushed and pulled his glasses.

Meiyi covered her face with one hand and tapped Xingkong's head lightly with the other hand.

"Be serious!"

"whee."

Xingkong just smiled twice at this.

Kiana said to Xingkong with a curious expression.

"Is this what a boy wants, to be taken care of by a beautiful girl?"

"Well, I don't know, it just happened to be this plot when I was watching anime yesterday, and I just thought of making a joke."

"Cut, it's boring."

Kiana turned her head and stopped looking at him.

"Ahem, what are you going to do? There is no support for this mission. Your strength is a bit dangerous."

"Don't judge everyone by your fighting ability!"

Otonashi rolled his eyes and continued.

"If I complete this mission, I should be able to become a C-level Valkyrie. If I don't hurry up, I will be taken home by my father to inherit the family property."

"Uh...why not?"

"Growing up, I had no freedom at all under the arrangements of my father and mother. Fortunately, I became a Valkyrie and was finally able to choose my own path."

Otonashi said bitterly.

"So, why don't we just let my brother inherit the family?"

Lumicia and Hoshino Yume said nothing, holding her hand tightly.

"Ahem, let's focus back on our mission."

Xingkong coughed twice, breaking the silence.

"So when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, when we get to the place, we have to explain it to the people in China.

Okay, nothing happens now, let's go get ready. "

Theresa said so.

"Xingkong, I'll give you your bracelet back. Bronya still can't figure out its structure. It doesn't look like a product of our world."

Bronya walked up to Xingkong and dropped the bracelet into his hand.

"Uh...haha."

Hearing Bronya complain, Xingkong could only laugh.

You can't always say, well, you're right, this is really something from another world, then it will be really fun.

After communicating for a while, the three of them left first.

In Otonashi's room, after the girl made sure that the two guys wouldn't suddenly come in, she took out a communicator from the secret compartment of the desk.

"Lord Ryoma, I have successfully joined the team looking for the stigmata."

A deep male voice came from the other side.

"Ah, very good."

Otonashi hesitated for a moment and continued.

"I still don't understand why the leader of the alliance revealed the location we have been looking for for so many years to them so easily?"

“Just think of it as contributing to future allies in advance, and future cooperation will be smoother.

Wait for them to search for a few days, then look for another opportunity and pretend to have found the location without exposing it. "

Thunder Ryoma said in a deep voice.

"By the way, if there is anything else during this period, if the executor comes to see you, ignore it. Anti-Entropy has been unstable internally recently."

"As you command, Lord Ryoma."

Otonashi replied very seriously.

"there's one more thing."

Raiden Ryoma paused, his tone a little unnatural.

"How is Mei Yi doing now?"

"Hehe, Lord Ryoma cares about his daughter very much. As for her friends and teachers, Mei is doing well now."

"That's good, but that bastard must be educated someday."

"Well, Lord Ryoma, with all due respect, I can't see through this guy Xingkong at all. You may not be able to beat him."

After Yin Wuzuo finished speaking in a low voice, there was silence for a moment, and then he said.

"Nothing else, it's over. Be careful during this time."

"Yes."

Yin Wuzhen put the communicator back into the secret compartment and lay down on the bed with his sunny side up.

"Ahhh, being a spy or something, it's so uncomfortable!"

On the other side, Starry Sky and Theresa are walking on campus.

"Principal, what do you want to tell me?"

When they came to a deserted corner, Xingkong stopped and said doubtfully.

Theresa stood on tiptoes, leaning forward slightly, staring straight into the starry sky.

"How many secrets do you have, Xingkong? Why did the person Shenzhou contacted me specifically ask about your situation?"

"I really don't know. Apart from the squad leader, I don't know anyone from China."

Xingkong was confused for a moment.

"Forget it, be careful when you get there, and protect them if possible."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
