Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The strange light emitted from the crystal also immediately attracted the attention of its owner, and the relaxed look on the captain's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"This is, the "Key of God" is..."

His brain was working rapidly again. Based on the situation when this kind of vision occurred last time, the captain decisively took out his mobile phone and tried to contact Kiana, but he couldn't get through the call.

So he asked Fu Hua to try to contact Kiana, but again, the screen showed that the other party was outside the communication range and could not be reached.

"Can't make contact? But...how could it be? Is it human interference?"

The captain thought for a while, then dialed Mei Yi's number. Strangely, normal communication was possible here, which temporarily ruled out the possibility of range interference.

"Mei, is Kiana with you?"

"Hey? Kiana? She said she had something small to deal with. She ran out of the dormitory about two hours ago. I don't know if she will come back now."

Mei Yi, who was practicing the "Heart Cutting Technique" at the training ground, was a little confused about this. If she was looking for Kiana, wouldn't it be better to contact her directly? Why did she go out of her way to ask her? And judging from the captain's appearance, he seems a little more serious than usual...

So Mei also took the opportunity to try to contact Kiana, but as expected she couldn't get through.

"What happened, Captain?"

Mei Yi has always been thoughtful, and what she saw was expected by the captain. After all, this kind of abnormality suddenly appeared, and many questions remained unanswered. For the sake of safety and efficiency, more manpower must be added.

"Sorry Mei, it's not easy to explain to you just yet, but I have something to ask you. Now go back to the dormitory and see if Kiana is there. By the way, ask Major Himeko and ask her to help search for it. If there is any news, please come right away. Contact me.”

"Okay, Captain, Mei will go back right away."

"By the way, Mei, if you can't contact me, come to Bronya's ward to find me."

"Bronya's...? Okay, Mei understands."

Although she didn't know what happened, there must be a reason for the captain's arrangement, so Mei Yi would never neglect it. After the communication ended, she didn't even change her clothes and left the training ground and headed towards the dormitory.

The reason why the captain specifically reminded Mei Yi of her location was because of possible communication interference problems.

After the communication here ended, the captain immediately contacted Hyperion and asked Ai-chan to use the "Honkai Energy Communication" function uniformly equipped on the Valkyrie Armor to try to see if she could contact Kiana, but she still couldn't. Pass.

This is unreasonable. Generally speaking, no matter where Kiana is, as long as "Bai Lian"'s authentication device is still on her, it is impossible to contact her.

Realizing that the situation might be more complicated than he imagined, the captain had to let Ai-chan enter the second-level alert mode first to search for Kiana and deal with possible "emergency situations". At the same time, he also asked Milly to They also helped search around the academy.

Fu Hua stood beside the captain, silently watching him make these preparations, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. The old friend is indeed as sharp as he expected. If this continues, he will definitely have a serious impact on his next actions.

"No wonder you chose this time to remind me..."

"Huh? What's wrong, Fu Hua?"

"Nothing, what do you want to do next?"

"We still have to confirm Kiana's location first, but if she can't even contact Hyperion's system... where will she go?"

The captain turned and looked out the window, mentally eliminating one place after another where Kiana might go.

"Theresa is probably looking for information under the church now. She will be there soon... wait, church?"

Suddenly, the captain seemed to have grasped some important clue. He stopped talking and started thinking seriously.

Underground in the church? It is indeed a place where any communication signal including "Honkai energy communication" cannot access, but will Kiana be there?

No, as the principal of the academy, Theresa could not allow anyone other than him and Himeko to step there, even her own niece.

The captain thought so. Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other place that could isolate "Bai Lian"'s certification signal, unless Kiana's situation was worse than he thought, such as being controlled by someone. Lived or something like that.

But after thinking about it, the captain felt that this was impossible. After all, judging from Mei's tone, Kiana ran out on her own, and the light of the "Key of God" still showed no sign of weakening.

Excluding the possibility of other things causing the "God Key" to react abnormally, this shows that Kiana is at least still within the range that the "God Key" can sense.

At this time, while his old friend was busy thinking about Kiana's whereabouts, Fu Hua also received a special message sent directly to the "Moon Wheel" communication system using an encrypted signal.

"Shadow Knight Moon Wheel" is the Valkyrie armor originally gifted to her by Otto. It is not equipped by the "Far East Branch", so the communication system sent to "Moon Wheel" can only come from the Mediterranean headquarters, or That is...the order given by Otto.

The content above is very simple, only a few words: Recover the experimental subject "k423".

Fu Hua has long been aware of this. This is her "mission" and what she must complete, whether it is for the world or... the person in front of her.
