Chapter 428 Hua Is Going Crazy
"This is the new branch of Tianming Jidong. If you receive it from the Changkong City branch, please reply!"
"This is the new Jidong branch. If you receive it from the Changkong City branch, please reply!"
"This is the Jidong Branch. Please reply to the Changkong City Branch!"
On the bridge of the Hyperion, the C-class Valkyrie in charge of communications took the trouble to call the remaining personnel in the old campus.
Naturally, the relocation of such a large campus cannot be completed in a short time. Considering that the dangerous woman from Cocolia appeared in Changkong City, Theresa simply did not remove all the people from the old campus in Changkong City at once. , but established a "Changkong City Branch".
But now, as Changkong City's Honkai Energy reaction exceeded the 1000HW mark in an instant, contact with the Changkong City branch was immediately cut off.
"Huh... continue to hold the call, the Ministry of Information retrieves satellite images above Changkong City."
Theresa took a sip of bitter melon juice and commanded calmly.
A high-definition satellite map quickly popped up on the screen in front of her. After zooming in, it was easy to see that because it was located in the suburbs, the Changkong City branch seemed to be less affected. At least, there were no dead soldiers visible outside. and Honkaimon, and there was no damage to the main buildings.
But why can't I contact you?
"Theresa, can you check the electromagnetic field situation near Changkong City?"
Hua's voice came from the side, without any warning, even startling Theresa.
"When did you come?"
Theresa's eyes were a little wandering, and Hua's response was extremely honest:
"I've always been there."
"..."
Theresa turned around and glared at Himeko, who was armed but doing nothing. In St. Freya, apart from herself, only Himeko, who is the nominal chief teacher and the actual ace of the Far East branch, has the authority to bring in an "outsider".
Yes, outsiders.
Although the strategic cooperative relationship between Tianming and China has been maintained for nearly five hundred years, although Theresa and Hua once fought side by side and shared life and death, although the current situation is already very critical... but when Hua appeared on the Hyperion, De Lisa's instinctive reaction shows that she is inevitably divided after all.
"Don't look at me with that expression. Honkai's response exceeds the threshold of 1000 HW. You should understand what this means. Of course, if you insist that I can't appear here, you can also let me leave now."
Theresa's lips moved twice, and finally she skipped the topic:
“Why check electromagnetic fields?”
Although she didn't say it explicitly, since she didn't object, she actually acquiesced to the fact that Hua appeared here.
"First of all, Honkai energy is a kind of energy radiation after all. Once the concentration is too high, it will naturally interfere with electromagnetic wave communications."
"I know this, but how much Honkai energy radiation does it take to do it? In terms of the current intensity and coverage of the Honkai energy reaction, especially considering that the Changkong City branch itself is in a state of Honkai energy reaction At a lower position, this assumption should not be true... If it doesn't work, we can only give up. Judging from the results of the satellite photos, they are not in great danger. The main problem now is the information about the collapse itself. "
This is not to disregard the life and death of ordinary people in Changkong City. The current situation is naturally dangerous, but the more dangerous it is, the more important it is to ensure that decisions are based on sufficient intelligence analysis. It may be cold-blooded to say this, but it is the truth.
The hope of contacting the Changkong City branch is simply based on this consideration. Once this road fails, Theresa is not a fool, and naturally she will not stick here.
"Um……"
Hua responded softly, so calmly that Theresa almost mistook the sound for an ordinary breath.
"That's what I want to say - Teresa, do you know about the so-called 'pre-civilization'?"
"Of course I know."
As the granddaughter of Archbishop Otto of Destiny, Teresa's own weapon "Judas' Oath" is the key to God left by the pre-civilization. It is naturally impossible for her not to know what pre-civilization means. And Tianming has unearthed so many relics of previous civilizations, at least to most Valkyries, this is not a secret.
It's just that the history of that era is still confusing, and there is a lack of physical objects and field research. The average Valkyrie only knows but does not understand it, and the same is true for Theresa.
It sounds like Hua knows a lot about that era? Yes, the legend of Red Kite Immortal is even longer than the history of Tianming, so it is natural that we have a better understanding of previous civilizations.
Theresa pursed her lips tightly, waiting for Hua to continue, but the latter unexpectedly shut up.
It's not that he shut up, but his eyes became blank and unfocused, his breathing became increasingly inaudible, and his whole figure seemed to be trapped in a sea of memories, unable to extricate himself.
The situation was urgent, and Theresa was hesitating to roughly wake Hua out of that state, but Hua suddenly said:
"What I mean is very simple. In the records of pre-civilizations, the power of the third Herrscher they faced was to control electromagnetic fields, so in addition to the Third Herrscher, she was also named the Herrscher of Thunder. At that time The area affected by the collapse included the entire East Asia, and the key affected cities were Canghai City and...Changkong City."
"You're saying that the Herrscher born this time in the Honkai Impact is the Herrscher of Thunder? But, will the order and power of the Herrscher's birth definitely correspond to that of the previous civilization?"
"No……"
As soon as Hua opened his mouth, he thought of something again and continued calmly:
"Not necessarily, but the powers of the previous First Herrscher and Second Herrscher all correspond. According to the order of birth, the Third Herrscher should be the Herrscher of Thunder. But Xilin obtained the other four Herrschers that year. The core, including the core of Herrscher of Thunder, if it is confirmed that the Herrscher of Thunder was born in this collapse, then this disaster may be..."
"I'm afraid it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, right?"
Teresa took a long breath, but what flashed in her mind was the former Tower of Babel - the dazzling fluorescent lamps illuminated the dark and closed cage, illuminating the deformed corpses of girls one after another.
That disaster, strictly speaking, cannot be completely regarded as a natural disaster.
But no matter what happened behind this incident, now is not the time to pursue it.
"Recheck the electromagnetic field situation near Changkong City. Ai Yi, report on the combat readiness of the Hyperion."
"Reporting to the ship... Principal, the nuclear fusion reactors No. 01-04 are operating normally. The nuclear fusion reactors No. 05 and 06 can be put into use at any time. The anti-gravity engines A-F are operating normally. The final ammunition loading work is now underway."
Under the stereoscopic projection device, a girl with two cabbages on her head suddenly appeared.
"How long is it expected to take?"
"Checking the exercise records - among the five combat preparation exercises in the past year, the best one lasted three hours and eleven minutes, the worst one lasted four hours and three minutes, and the current time has been one hour and three minutes. Fifteen minutes, do we need to start the combat readiness progress assessment immediately?”
"no."
Theresa shook her head. It was obvious that the preparation work had just begun, and it was meaningless to check the progress at this time.
"Over at the European headquarters, grandpa...hasn't the bishop given any instructions yet?"
"I haven't seen you...ah, wait a minute...the principal, the bishop's communication is connected!"
Before Valkyrie could finish her words, Aiyi disappeared from the stereoscopic projection system. A second later, a human figure re-condensed there.
"Hi! Theresa, long time no see."
"...We must have just seen each other last night! My Lord Bishop, what are you doing! The third Honkai Impact has already broken out in Changkong City, and you still can't find your people..."
"Ah...haha...that's right! Ahem! Grandpa didn't just want to see you. He traveled back and forth between the Far East and Europe for a few hours. In the end, he overslept to overcome the jet lag, so..."
"Does the soul steel body need sleep?"
"Don't you need it?"
"Need it?"
"...Ahem!"
Seeing that his grandfather and grandson were about to turn a serious combat meeting into a cross talk performance, Hua had to cough twice in order to bring the atmosphere back on track.
"Oh! Isn't this my old friend? I didn't expect you to be here..."
"There's no need to say more if we want to get close. Otto, you should be very clear that the current strength of the Far East Branch is not enough to fight against a Herrscher in a normal state. We need support."
"Well said, my old friend, but isn't there our former S-class Valkyrie, Ms. Theresa?"
"..."
"..."
"Ahem! Even if Theresa is unreliable, I still have you, my old friend."
Hua knew that Otto was testing how much strength she had left, so she simply chose not to answer.
"Ahem! It's just a joke. Bianca and Rita set off immediately. However, it takes at least eight hours on the road from the European headquarters to the far east. In fact, it would be better..."
As Otto spoke, his eyes glanced at Hua again.
Hua snorted impatiently. Of course she knew what Otto was thinking. In terms of combat effectiveness, Theresa, who could not use Judas and could not fully activate the super-mutable factor in her body, could not reach the strength of an S-class Valkyrie. And the two people who were just promoted by Tianming a few months ago S-class Valkyrie, namely Bianca and Rita, the former is fourteen years old and the latter is seventeen years old. It is indeed nonsense to measure combat power by age, but martial arts, physical fitness and combat experience all take time to accumulate. , how much can two little girls accumulate?
As for the support time, Theresa is hampered by the Hyperion, and it will take at least two hours to set off. Bianca and Rita need eight hours, but if she rushes to Changkong City now, it will only take a few hours. In ten minutes, it would only take an hour or two for Ling Shuang and Su Chang to serve as the second echelon of reinforcements and rush to Changkong City...
Of course, she actually has an apprentice who is performing a special mission in Changkong City...
"I will take action if necessary, but first, we need to locate the Herrscher's location."
"Hmm, this is also the strange thing about Honkai Impact this time. Although the Honkai energy reaction has already exceeded the 1000HW threshold, we all know that the energy reaction brought by a Herrscher is far more than that. In other words, in the past, For two hours, the Herrscher has been hiding himself and has not even used his power once... Why is this?"
Otto analyzed the problem with a serious face - if you ignore the red wine in his hand.
Hua did not answer, but brought the topic back to the beginning.
"Theresa, the electromagnetic field situation in Changkong City..."
"It is indeed chaotic, and... Judging from the satellite images, too many cumulonimbus clouds have accumulated over Changkong City, and it is no longer possible to capture the specific conditions of the city. It seems that it is basically the Herrscher of Thunder. "
Hua lowered his head slightly and could only say...
"Mikael, have you finally reached this point..."
This collapse... Like Otto, she naturally knew what was going on from the beginning. And the reason why she hinted Theresa to prove the power of the Third Herrscher...
She may not want to admit it, she may call it an "insurance" behavior, but she can't lie to herself - she just doesn't want things to happen as she expected, and she would rather be born this time. A brand new Herrscher, although this may lead to more casualties, at least it can prove that Mikael... at least it can prove that Mikael... is not involved in this "evil".
But now all luck is gone.
Herrscher of Thunder - Conquering Gem - Thunder Mei - Mikael.
The chain of evidence is so complete that there is no room for misunderstanding.
If we talk about the battle that almost razed Klosten to the ground five hundred years ago, and if we talk about the hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries caused by that battle, it was not due to Mikael's original intention, but just because of his chance encounter with Kevin. There is still room for excuses for being affected by the sudden battle, so this time, the three million lives in Changkong City cannot be cleansed...
She didn't know what Mikael had done or what he was going to do this time. But since Raiden Mei, who holds the Conquering Stone, is always by his side, Hua doesn't think that the others, such as Cocolia, have a chance to make small moves. If so, it must be with Mikael's tacit approval.
In short, this time, Mikael is really... unforgivable.
In fact, why should she care about this? Her task is only to ensure the implementation of the Tinder Plan. This is a plan without any plan. She once thought that the focus of this plan was to pass on the knowledge of pre-civilizations to modern humans. Now she believes that this plan aims to guide every Herrscher through her. Take the path of fighting for humanity.
From an absolute rational point of view, no matter which one it is, what Mikael did does not conflict with it. Just like the man in front of you, who is also a descendant of Mikael in a sense, what is the difference between what he does and his ancestor? Hua Ye will not kill his destiny and change his behavior because of this.
Maybe Mikael is different after all.
She even thought that he would argue like this: "It's just three million people. I just want to guide the Herrscher of Thunder on the path of fighting for mankind. Isn't that what you have to do? The price is not too much. Share it?"
This familiar tone is exactly the same as that annoying descendant.
But she still couldn't accept it.
Even if this is true - she means, even if Mikael does this really for the reason of guiding the Herrscher to fight for mankind, or for other reasons that are beneficial to mankind, but with three million people Is it really good to change my life for such a result?
This is not only caused by the remaining morality and sense of justice in her heart as a former hero, but also out of a kind of sadness.
After resetting her memories countless times, too many things in her heart had become blurred. But one thing she is sure of -
If he from 50,000 years ago saw what he has done now, he would only want to kill himself.
No... I still can't figure it out... I can't figure it out! Why can't I understand it? Obviously...it was obvious that her thoughts were a mess from the beginning!
In front of Theresa and Otto, Hua seemed to be standing still with her eyes closed, motionless, but in the conscious world, she had already found a corner to sit down and buried her head deeply between her knees.
So many emotions, all kinds of emotions, there's unspeakable sadness, there's...
No. It wasn't something that was indescribable at all, but the lake in her heart that had been as flat as a mirror for countless years was churning like boiling water. She only felt that a piece of flesh in her heart had been dug out, and her entire chest felt light, but the flesh and blood It started to run around inside her body, causing her whole body to feel hot. She wanted to tear her skin and flesh with all her strength. She wanted to find a giant Honkai Beast and dismember it inch by inch with her hands. She was in such a crazy state. How could she choose words to formulate a sentence? Woolen cloth?
For a long time, she thought she had suppressed the emotions in her heart, but when she opened her eyes, her eyes were sore and her vision could not focus on one place. And Otto's comfortable look, as well as the footsteps of the Valkyries coming and going, and the noisy reports, all seemed to be scratching her cerebral cortex, making her even want to violently dismantle the entire Hyperion for a moment. untie.
No... Hua felt that he could no longer suppress it. If he continued like this, he might really go crazy...
"Huh? Since I have nothing to do now, come and have a drink with me! Let the principal and the bishop chat privately for a while."
Ji Zi didn't know when she walked up behind Hua, patted her shoulder gently, and then pulled her to her exclusive wine tasting seat.
"Would you like a drink? Although you look like a girl, you should be old enough, right?"
Hua didn't speak, but stretched out his hand to hold the wine glass tightly.
Her hands were shaking violently. Ji Zi obviously didn't fill the wine too full, but Hua almost spilled more than half of the wine when she brought the glass to her mouth.
"Hey, hey! That's too much! You wouldn't be hiding from drinking like this!"
Hua still didn't respond, and drank the cold wine in one gulp. The manic feeling that wanted to destroy everything was finally suppressed.
"Ahem! There's no good tea!"
She struggled to squeeze out a word that had no beginning or end. Jizi was not annoyed. She just sipped her wine and joked with a smile:
"Then don't drink and don't rob me."
Hua smiled bitterly twice, and the irritability suddenly came back, as if someone whispered in her ear, tempting her to throw the wine glass in her hand to the ground.
"Hold it... Hold it..."
She hurriedly took another sip of wine, but the irritability did not dissipate, and even brought a trace of uneasiness--
What kind of person is Mikael now?
No no no... Alas! How can I not even express such words!
She wanted to say... I hope that Lixue, who had just retired from Tianming, can save Lei Dian Longma before Mikael.
