Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Can you still stand up...? What a mess..."

There was a slight surprise on the young man's face, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. When the effectiveness of "Heart Powder" had not faded away, it was just the end of his strength to stand up and fight like this.

But the opponent didn't seem to care about this, and attacked again with all his strength. The young man had to retreat to avoid the opponent's rapid attack.

boom! ! !

The captain ducked sideways, and the man punched the steel wall, causing a large hole to form in the wall.

"Ah ah!!!!!"

boom! boom! boom! !

This extremely destructive attack was punched one after another. Every time the captain ducked sideways, a hole would appear in the wall behind him. He could still have such explosive power after being hit by "Heart Powder". If it was a hard hit, he might not be able to escape unscathed, but the captain just dodged back and forth, which in his opinion was still too slow an attack, waiting for her to finish. strength.

Sure enough, after a while, the Valkyrie was exhausted and covered in sweat, and her legs were extremely weak. It seemed that she had reached her limit.

Seeing this, the captain did not take the opportunity to fight back. If he had really meant it, the Valkyrie would never have had the chance to stand up to this point.

"You don't have to be like this. Your companion is just unconscious. Moreover, it is more important to treat those two children now, isn't it?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the Valkyrie took the opportunity to glance at the two children not far away. One of the girls who fell down was already unconscious. The other one looked carefully and was covered in bruises. It seemed that she had suffered something wrong. treatment of people.

"That's too much...who is it...?"

"Why don't you ask the two, let's call them...people behind you?"

The captain glanced at the two researchers standing not far away. He seemed to not know how to describe this kind of sanctimonious scum who did things beyond the bottom line of human beings. He hesitated for a moment before forcing the word "human" out of his mouth.

"you!"

The researcher's face was red with anger, but as soon as he met the young man's sharp gaze, he did not dare to make any more excuses. He just repeatedly urged the Valkyrie to deal with him quickly.

The scene remained stagnant for a while, and finally the communication prompt that suddenly sounded from the communicator on Valkyrie's waist broke the frozen air.

"Is this...a communication from headquarters?"

Valkyrie did not dare to neglect, and immediately connected the communication request, and a character appeared on the holographic projection that surprised the few "Destiny" people present.

"Lord, Lord Bishop!?"

Several "Destiny" staff members immediately recognized the blond man on the screen as their "Destiny" archbishop: Otto Apokalis.

Generally speaking, in the organization, the archbishop would not personally send communications to his subordinates in Siberia, unless of course there was some situation that required him to end personally, which Valkyrie also knew very well.

Sure enough, Otto did not exchange polite greetings. After briefly scanning the scene, he asked the Valkyrie to turn the camera to the "intruder", and the other party immediately did so.

The young man's eyes at this moment made Otto feel a sense of pressure, but he still behaved as cynically as usual, but his face was rare and a little more serious.

"Hahaha... I have heard about the situation. My old friend, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my rude subordinates and ask you to be noble."

"Otto..."

"Old friend, I know you have a lot of questions, and I will explain them to you. Before that, you can do what you want to do, such as... send those two children to treatment...?"

After hearing this, the young man glanced at the ceiling of the corridor with his peripheral vision. Kiana on the side looked along the captain's line of sight and found that there were indeed cameras in the front and back filming here.

"Since you can see it, you'd better give me an answer that's acceptable to me."

The young man replied disdainfully, then waved his sleeves and walked in the direction of the two children, leaving only the Valkyrie and the two researchers stunned by the bishop's respectful attitude towards the young man.

"...This is really embarrassing for me. After all, I didn't expect you to suddenly appear there."

"Oh, didn't I tell you? Every few decades I will come here to strengthen the seal. What shameful things are you doing here without telling me and Chi Yuan, as well as the purpose of building this tower here? I'll know."

"..."

After leaving these words, the young man remained silent and leaned forward to carefully check the two people's injuries.

Before her eyes completely turned dark, the purple-haired girl seemed to see someone walking in her direction.

"Mom...? Help...Celine..."

Then, the girl's eyes completely lost sight, and her body fell weakly to the ground. However, the last thing that lingered in her senses before she lost consciousness was not the cold and hard ground, but someone's warm arms.

Kiana had mixed feelings in her heart after witnessing all this, but even if she called the captain who was most likely to respond to her, the other party would not be able to see her at all.

It seems that what is happening in front of you is indeed just a matter of the past...

"But if this is really the Tower of Babel, Captain... was it like this sixteen years ago? And..."

The reason for the establishment of this tower...the first encounter between the "Second Herrscher" and the captain...the relationship between him and Otto...and...the captain's words "I have to come here every few decades to strengthen the seal." .”

seal? What seal? And...every few decades? From the captain's tone, it seems that this is not his first time...

Kiana couldn't figure it out. The amount of information contained in what happened in just a few minutes was too much, like a mess, which she couldn't figure out for a while.

However, there was one thing that had nothing to do with the current situation that she could now pat her chest for sure, that is, even sixteen years ago, the captain was still the kind and gentle captain.
