Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

——2:22 am——

Due to the captain's request, in addition to Himeko, Theresa, Mei, Bronya, Einstein and others gathered on the bridge of the "Huberion", waiting for the formulation of the next battle plan.

Perhaps sensing the subtle atmosphere between Einstein and the captain, Theresa took the initiative and asked, "Can we start? Dr. Einstein."

"Please wait a moment, Ms. Theresa, Dr. Tesla will be here soon." Looking at the time in the lower right corner of the tablet, Einstein replied calmly.

"Since we still have some time, can I ask? Dr. Einstein, are you and Theresa...?"

"Mr. Zhi, I understand your concerns, but one thing I can assure you is that the will of "Anti-Entropy" to prevent tragedies from happening and to prevent disasters from coming to the world is no weaker than that of the Far East Branch. In terms of the goal of its efforts, In other words, we are the same. "

"..."

"As for the explanation part, Ms. Theresa, can I trouble you?"

"Ah? Oh, of course, ahem, Captain, actually this matter started when you went to China on vacation at the end of last year."

Under Theresa's explanation, the captain gradually understood what happened.

Last year, in the days before the end of the year, in order to visit his apprentice Hua Yu and visit the graves of several old friends, the captain took a leave of absence from St. Freya Academy and went to China.

As a result, during the few days he was away, St. Freya Academy was attacked by "anti-entropy". Fortunately, with the principal Theresa sitting in, the chaos was calmed down.

Regarding this attack, the captain who later returned to St. Freya Academy naturally also knew about it. Although he also had some doubts about the attack at the time, Teresa herself said that the problem was not big, except for silent optimization. Except for the alert configuration of the Far East Branch, he didn't ask any more questions.

But what the captain didn't know was that the "Anti-Entropy" attack on Saint Freya was not to cause trouble for the "Destiny" organization. The attack was just the appearance of that operation. The real purpose of "Anti-Entropy" was actually It was to secretly meet Theresa, the principal of St. Freya Academy.

It turns out that "Anti-Entropy" has already learned the information that Kiana is an experimental subject "K423", and has roughly deduced Otto's possible future plans and ambitions.

In order to prevent the "Mediterranean Headquarters" from noticing the abnormality, the forerunners of "Anti-Entropy" visited St. Freya Academy by attacking and successfully made an alliance with Teresa.

In fact, the reason why this covenant can be concluded is that the forerunners of "Anti-Entropy" did not put forward any rigid requirements for St. Freya Academy. They only hoped that Theresa could contact her when necessary and send them to St. Freya Academy. The intelligence was shared with them, and at the same time, "Anti-Entropy" also implored the Far East Branch to put aside the prejudices that may have arisen from past ideological conflicts and work with them to fight against the disaster that may come.

But in terms of the result, it was the sincere desire of Einstein, Tesla and other "anti-entropy" pioneers to fight against disaster that moved Theresa, and this led to the secret alliance between the two parties.

The reason Theresa never told the captain about this was because "Anti-Entropy" made a clear and serious request for this.

"In order to prevent the headquarters from noticing the abnormality, does that include me..."

"Yes, it would be better to say that just to avoid you, we specially chose that time to visit you."

Einstein replied instead of Theresa, who was a bit embarrassed.

"To be honest, "Anti-Entropy" didn't trust you at the time, Mr. Zhi, and you should understand the reason. "

"..."

Yes, the captain certainly understands the reason why "Anti-Entropy" did this, because sixteen years ago... he did do enough things to make the "Anti-Entropy" forerunners put him on the "blacklist".

"Dr. Einstein, I..."

The captain wanted to say something, but the next second, the direct elevator door next to everyone opened after a customary beep.

Under the gaze of everyone, a beautiful girl wearing a white shirt, a black suspender skirt, pure white pantyhose, and a pair of red ponytails walked out.

She raised her slightly exaggerated left hand wrapped in red exoskeleton armor, and casually greeted Einstein, her colleague: "Hey, Chicken Nest Head, I'm not late, am I?"

"Unfortunately, Dr. Tesla, you are already two minutes late."

"Hey, I heard that this broken ship is the most advanced battleship of "Destiny" at present. I just turned around twice more. Although the design of power module and compatibility is a bit interesting, it is not as good as any of our battleships. Not even close! "

Frederica Nikola Tesla, although she looks like just a girl, is now a world-renowned great engineer and one of the original founders of the "Anti-Entropy" organization.

However, she clearly has a face that is cute enough to debut as an idol, but she sounds like an uncle when she speaks. Even Einstein, who has long been accustomed to her appearance, can't help but sigh: "Oh... special Dr. Silla, I must remind you that if you are running around in the cabin without permission, the guards on the Huberian have every reason to lock you up as a spy."

"Uh... hey, no, no, no, no, this is not important, let's, let's get down to business first." Hearing this, Tesla also pushed up the pair of red-rimmed glasses he was wearing, hiding behind the glasses The pair of red eyes also started to look around with obvious guilt.

However, when Tesla's eyes scanned everyone present one by one, the moment she saw someone, Tesla's slightly embarrassed expression froze together with the words she was about to say next.

After remaining silent for a few seconds, the girl suddenly spoke: "I'm sorry, Jiwotou, I really can't help it."

"?"

Before Einstein could react, the red-haired girl strode forward, raised her right hand and punched the boy in front of her in the face with all her strength.

"!!"

With no intention of responding to the sudden punch, the captain was knocked backwards by the heavy punch. Amid everyone's exclamations, Mei Yi, who was behind the captain, was the last one. Reacting first, he immediately stepped forward and opened his arms to hug him in time, supporting the boy's body that was about to fall.

At the same time, Bronya, who witnessed this scene right in front of her eyes, was shocked and immediately summoned a heavily armored bunny to block in front of the captain. Due to the sudden punch from the other side, the atmosphere on the entire bridge suddenly changed. The son became tense, and Theresa, who was confused, stood there at a loss for a while.

"Captain! Are you okay!? The corner of your mouth... is bleeding..."

Mei Yi carefully checked the injuries on the boy's face. The left side of the captain's face was obviously red and swollen, and the blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth made Mei Yi feel distressed.

"...It's too much."

Seeing the blood on the corner of the captain's mouth, Mei Yi was driven by the strong emotions that kept pouring into her heart, making the girl who was always gentle towards others feel the urge to put her hand on the hilt of the knife at her waist.
