Rita said with a smile after taking out a new mobile phone from her bag and placing it on the table.
"I thought you realized the mission was dangerous and wanted to abandon it and run away."
"Danger?"
After taking the phone from the table, Lin Yu lowered his head and looked at the phone and said.
"To be honest, if all my companions hadn't lost contact, I really don't think there would be any danger in protecting that little girl."
"Sister, was this mission affected by some other factors? Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have sent only so few people out to be killed by the enemy."
"Well, how should I put it?"
Rita put her fingers on her lips, looked at the ceiling and said to Lin Yu lightly.
"you guessed right."
"This time, the higher-ups have assigned you an identity as an exchange student at Qianyu College, so you should have heard of this name in school."
"Raiden Mei, this name should be familiar to you, right?"
Chapter 4. My sister
[Raiden Mei, you are certainly familiar with this name. 】
[Rather, this girl, who has not yet awakened her power, is the easiest one to get along with among all the main characters.]
[After Raiden Ryoma was imprisoned, she was rejected by the people around her. Although she met Kiana Kaslana at this time, it does not mean that she rejects the affection of others. ]
[Especially for a young lady from a girls' school like Qianyu Academy, if a handsome man can show his affection to her at a time like this, hehehe...]
Then when she awakened, she was killed by the Herrscher of Thunder right away, right?
After complaining about the narration in his mind, Lin Yu immediately said to Rita.
"Of course I know. She is a celebrity in the school."
"Besides, she is the daughter of Raiden Ryoma."
"Yes, some members of the Destiny know that Raiden Ryoma is the executor of Anti-Entropy. And now, Raiden Ryoma has been imprisoned by Cocolia, who is also an executor of Anti-Entropy, for some time."
After whispering "thank you" to the waiter who served the meal, Rita continued to speak to Lin Yu.
"At first, we didn't understand why Anti-Entropy would fight to this extent when it was weak, but later, a senior brought us a piece of news."
"The Conquest Gem, one of the four gems that was taken away by Anti-Entropy, was taken away by Thunder Ryoma. Cocolia and him fell out probably because of this incident."
"Also, according to that senior, after Kokolia got rid of Thunder Ryoma, she was unable to find the [Conquest Gem], so now we suspect..."
"Do you suspect that the Conquest Gem has something to do with Thunder Ryoma's daughter?"
After picking up the sandwich on the table and taking a big bite, Lin Yu muttered to himself with a gloomy face.
"No wonder, no wonder all the other companions were dealt with."
"Cocolia also noticed that the Conquest Gem might be related to Raiden Mei, so she set her sights on Senba Academy. When she discovered us, the members of the Destiny, she carried out the assassination, right?"
"But sister, you said that all my companions except me..."
"Did a mole betray our information? Otherwise, there is no explanation for why we were wiped out so quickly."
"Yeah, where's the ghost?"
At this time, after saying this word, Rita shook her head helplessly.
"Everyone thought so at the beginning. Some people even suggested that if nothing happened to you in the end, then there was a high probability that you were a traitor."
"But the colleagues in charge of this mission in the security department clearly stated that someone had breached their firewall and found the list of names for this mission."
"If you hadn't joined the mission temporarily and hadn't had time to be added to the headquarters' list, you might have been wiped out as well."
"But even so, some people began to suspect that there was something wrong with you. After all, you suddenly asked to participate in this mission, and then something went wrong."
Listening to Rita's words, Lin Yu exhaled slightly.
"I understand. If it were me, I would also have doubts."
"So you suspected I was going to run away when you first came here?"
"Yes, that's right. But these are just suspicions. The higher-ups still need you to continue your mission."
After taking out a tube of reagent from her bag, Rita placed it on the table.
And the moment this tube of reagent appeared...
[Oh! You recognized this thing right away. It will be very useful to you! ]
[Hsn serum, a drug developed by the destined genius scientist Dr. Maki, will become a veritable 'God-killing Gun' after being fused with Shaniyat's holy blood! ]
[Even if it is used alone, it can suppress the power of the Herrscher to a certain extent - provided that the Herrscher has not yet fully awakened all his powers.]
The stuff is really good, the problem is...
——If destiny gave me something like this, it must be for me to take risks, okay?
"Hsn serum, this is a new drug developed by Dr. Maki."
"After confirming the efficacy of the drug, the bishop gave it a temporary codename, [Honkai Killer]."
Looking at Lin Yu who was silent at this time, Rita said lightly.
"The superiors will not let you carry out a mission that will lead to your death just because you are slightly suspicious. This tube of serum can help you get rid of the Honkai erosion on your body when you are about to become a complete dead soldier."
"Although this will reduce your control over Honkai energy and the strength of Honkai energy, you are not a warrior who can manipulate Honkai energy, so this negative effect is equivalent to nothing for you."
[Well said! But this woman didn't tell you that this special test tube is equipped with a positioning system and a self-destruct system.]
[As long as certain conditions are met, this test tube will self-destruct and evaporate the serum in the test tube directly. ]
[Although this woman didn't lie, she didn't tell the whole story either - this is undoubtedly a lie to you! This is intolerable, don't have a sister like this! ]
[You secretly swear in your heart that you will remember this grudge! ]
Wait for a moment. Your narration makes me sound like some unknown, third-rate villain.
Lin Yu picked up the serum, put it away carefully, and looked at Rita helplessly.
"I understand. Anyway, I will continue with the mission."
"Sister, just focus on your own business. Don't worry too much about me. I know my limits."
Looking at Lin Yu who stood up, Rita said sadly.
"Alas, my Ayu has grown up too. I, your elder sister, always feel a little lonely."
"Okay, no more words, let's go."
After all, this was the first time I met her today. A woman as meticulous as Rita has a strong ability to capture details. If I don't leave now, I will be exposed sooner or later.
Watching Lin Yu's departing back, the loneliness on Rita's face suddenly disappeared.
At this moment, the maid who was looking at her brother-in-law's back felt extremely complicated.
Although Lin Yu was very careful with his wording, Rita still easily caught the abnormality in Lin Yu.
This doesn't mean anything, but...
Alas, my stupid brother, if you don’t adjust your condition well during the mission, it is easy to die in battle.
At this moment, the waiter came to Rita and changed his previous attitude and spoke to her very respectfully.
"Lady Rita, the bishop has called, may I ask..."
"Of course it was connected."
After saying this, a curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of Rita.
In the light curtain, Rita's immediate superior, Archbishop Otto Apokalis, was looking at Rita with a smile on his face.
...
Chapter 5. What a bargain
Before connecting the call, Rita had adjusted her mood and expression, and looked at the light screen in front of her very calmly.
Then, looking at the man who appeared in the light curtain, Rita said very respectfully.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, Rita has handed over the HSN serum to Lin Yu."
"Ah, very good."
Looking at Rita's expression at this moment, Otto nodded slightly.
"Since you gave the potion to him, it seems that you have judged that the problems that occurred during this mission have nothing to do with him, right?"
"Rita, I trust your judgment. Let's leave this matter at that for now."
"Yes."
"Also, I have read the mission report. I have already informed Yulandel about this mission."
"Even Lady Yulandel?"
Listening to Otto's words at this time, Rita said with a little surprise.
"Does this mission require Lady Yulandel to go out?"
"If it's just to seize the conquest gem, then it's not necessary."
What if it was just to capture the Conquest Gem...?
Before participating in this mission, Rita didn't have much thoughts.
Although her combat power was not as good as Yulandel's, Otto gave her many instructions because she was meticulous and serious in her work, and she participated in and completed many tasks.
For Rita, although this mission involves the Conquering Gem among the [Four Gems], it is not essentially different from other missions.
Although Changkong City is the territory of Anti-Entropy, the leader of Anti-Entropy has been missing for a long time, and their strongest fighting force is only the Titan Armor that they are proud of.
These armors may be able to bully ordinary A-level Valkyries, but for Rita, even if she doesn't use the armor, she only needs to use the throne weapon [Aphrodite] to easily defeat a large number of Titan armors.
What's more, now that Destiny has completed the godslaying armor [Blue Knight. Moon Soul] and the Soul Steel Gods Armor [Skadi of Eternal Frost] suitable for Rita, after the combat power has been further improved, those Titans have lost the last possibility of threatening her safety.
However, in this situation, does Bishop Otto still decide that it is necessary for the very busy Lady Yulandel to come to Changkong City?
"Could it be that......"
After guessing a possibility, Rita's expression hardly changed, but her tone became more serious.
"As you guessed, this mission involves the Herrscher."
After seeing that his reliable subordinate had immediately guessed the truth, Otto was too lazy to waste time keeping it a secret.
"According to the detection at headquarters, there have been several small-scale Honkai outbreaks around the world."
"And the external staff in Changkong City also sent a report, saying that a large number of electrical appliances in Changkong City have failed recently. The after-sales departments of various electrical appliance manufacturers are probably worried to death."
"Are these phenomena... all caused by the Conquest Gem?"
As an S-class Valkyrie of destiny and a confidant who needs to help Otto perform some shady tasks, Rita certainly knows the true appearance of the four gems.
Conquest, Plague, Longing, and Silence, the true appearance of these four gems are actually the cores of the Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of Fire, the Herrscher of Wind, and the Herrscher of Death respectively.
Except for the Gem of Conquest which fell into the hands of Anti-Entropy, the other three gems are still kept in the Destiny Headquarters.
Small-scale collapses have occurred all over the world, and negative effects related to electromagnetic forces have appeared in Changkong City. This is enough to explain one thing.
"The Third Collapse will break out here, allowing the Herrscher of Thunder to be born here... Is this why you asked Lady Yulandel to come here?"
"Yes, and Theresa and her men will come to support you."
Even Lady Theresa?!
Lady Yulandel has the Key of God [Black Abyss and White Flower], and Lady Theresa has the Key of God [Oath of Judas].
It is rumored that both of them have the fighting power to remain undefeated in a head-on battle with the Herrscher. It seems that this time, the Bishop is really worried that there will be problems in Changkong City.
Wait, that HSN serum I gave to Ayu...
This is not the serum prepared for Ayu at all. I knew this a long time ago.
But at first, I thought this was a bait used by the bishop to test Ayu's loyalty.
But I thought wrongly. This was a move made by the Bishop.
