Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Hmm, no need to be polite, Rita Rossweisse."

"Okay, Master Fu Hua."

Faced with Fu Hua's indifference, Rita only responded very politely, and followed the other party's request without saying any more words. She went straight to Fu Hua to confirm the situation of the person behind her.

"Master Fu Hua, the course teacher...?"

"It is already under the control of "Yu Duchen" and will not hear a word we say. "

"That's good, haha. In order not to be discovered by the course teacher, Rita has been hiding far away."

"Is that why you used that method to convey a signal to me?"

What Fu Hua was referring to was naturally the petal covered with frost just now, which must have been made by the person in front of him.

Rita didn't say much, just nodded in affirmation.

"Lord Fu Hua, Lord Hollander is already on standby near St. Freya Cathedral."

"Youlandel is here too? Haha."

After hearing this, Fu Hua sneered. She didn't have any objections to Youlandel, but sending two S-class Valkyrie at the same time was enough to show how much Otto valued the goal of this mission.

And...I'm afraid it's not just because of the target itself. The reason why Otto sent Hollander is because he considered that he might refuse to take action because of his friendship with Kiana and the others, so he sent Hollander. To ensure nothing goes wrong.

"So... Kiana is really in the church?"

"Yes, according to the information given by the Bishop, the target is currently staying in the central database underground of St. Freya Cathedral."

"In that case, let's go."

"Hehehe~ I'm afraid, you still have a few requests to deal with."

Before he finished speaking, the cell phone in the captain's pocket rang. Fu Hua glared at Rita, and then took out the cell phone in the captain's pocket, which showed that it was a call from Mei Yi.

"You spy on them."

"Please don't get me wrong, this is just a mission requirement. Then, Rita will be waiting for you outside. Please meet me later, Master Fu Hua."

After saying that, Rita turned around and disappeared from the ward without making a sound, and Fu Hua immediately answered Mei Yi's call.

"Captain, I didn't find it in the dormitory... Hey, squad leader?"

"Well, it's me, Mei."

Seeing that the person who answered the call was not the captain, Mei Yi paused and glanced sideways at the background behind Fu Hua. It still looked like the ward of St. Freya Hospital.

"Where's the Captain?"

"He went out for a little while and will be back soon."

"Is that so...then Kiana?"

"As for Kiana, the captain has already contacted her. She is now with the principal at the cathedral."

"Huh? Really? But I can't get through her phone here..."

Seeing that Mei Yi was confused, Fu Hua added in his usual tone: "I heard from the captain that her mobile phone seemed to be out of battery, and the captain also used "Honkai Energy Communication" to contact her. "

"It's really... it's really disturbing. Seeing how serious the captain was just now, Mei Yi thought something had happened."

In the scene, Mei Yi breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Fu Hua's explanation. She didn't seem to doubt her words at all, but this made Fu Hua's heart feel a little stinging. However, now that the matter had come to this, she could only try her best to keep calm. look.

"Haha, after all, Kiana loves to make a fuss. The captain will definitely be worried if he can't be contacted suddenly. Anyway, thank you for your hard work, Mei."

"It's okay, it's okay. By the way, monitor, I have to remind the captain to come to the dormitory for dinner together. Mei wants to try a new dish today."

"OK, all right."

Fu Hua smiled and agreed, waiting for Mei Yi to hang up the phone. When the phone hung up, her face immediately darkened.

She squeezed the phone in her hand tightly, and finally put it down helplessly. She looked at her old friend sleeping next to her and sighed, "This is...how many times have I lied?"

"How many times..."

"No, I was already lying from the beginning..."

"Ever since the day I accepted that man's commission and came to this St. Freya Academy, I have been preparing for this day..."

Fu Hua walked forward slowly and put the phone back into her old friend's pocket. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly stopped.

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Fu Hua approached the young man who was still sleeping soundly. She bent down and stretched out her hand, but it stopped in mid-air and did not move forward.

She wanted to touch her old friend's cheek, but as she stared at her old friend's peacefully sleeping face, the tingling feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"Xiao Zhi, if...you were awake, how would you view me who did such a thing?"

There is no answer, and there is no need to answer, because it must be the answer I don't want to hear.

"You will feel very uncomfortable...I lied to you again, and I also lied to everyone."

Because you have always believed in me without reservation...

"Haha, your sleeping face is still like that of a child."

Crystal tears fell silently on the captain's palm, and on the "Key of God" in his hand.

Perhaps because the "God Key" that controls the power of "space" does not allow foreign objects to adhere to its surface, the tear that happened to fall on the surface of the crystal remained in the same state as it did when it splashed around. , like a small tear in full bloom.

Fu Hua didn't notice this detail. When she realized that she was crying, she just hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, then stood up and quickly took a few steps away from her old friend.

"I…"

It was Fu Hua's strategy to let the old friend accept the control of "Yu Duchen" to prevent him from hindering their mission. On top of this, in order to protect the safety of the old friend's consciousness, she also used some additional tricks. .

Before sneaking into Kiana's consciousness space, the captain's consciousness will be detained for a period of time. In this case, before he actually comes into contact with the "Second Herrscher", he should be able to complete the mission one step ahead of him.

Of course, the captain himself would not be aware of this.

......

Opening her hand and looking at her empty palm, Fu Hua clenched her fists. Then, without any hesitation, she turned around and walked out of the ward.

Fu Hua knew that the moment she stepped out of the ward, she would lose the qualification to stay here, and the peaceful daily life of St. Freya might also be lost because of the disappearance of Kiana and himself. exist.

She also thought about whether this choice was right and whether it was worth it...

But, no matter what, this was the choice she made.
