Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 255 Is there a superhuman in anti-entropy?

"After rescuing Su Chang, for some reason we were discovered, and a large group of Valkyries chased after us! They all told us not to linger, but our paths were blocked, so Dan Heng smashed a hole in the wall—"

"March, could you please keep your voice down?"

March 7th spoke louder and louder with great enthusiasm, and kept pulling Danheng to try to recreate the scene, completely ignoring the Valkyries who had been attracted around them.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

March 7th looked at Qiong with a confused expression. She was about to tell Qiong the last part!

"March, this is, after all, the territory of Destiny..."

Qiong pointed at Sanyue before realizing: This is the Tianming branch, but they attacked Tianming headquarters, which means...

March 7th immediately shut her mouth and dragged Qiong and Danheng to a secluded corner.

"You caused such chaos at the Destiny headquarters, what will happen if you come here...?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

March 7th spoke with unusual firmness; she had complete faith in Sunday's pretense.

I basically didn't turn off the disguise on Sunday, except for that one time in the middle, I don't think anyone saw it, right?

"Anyway, we managed to escape from there and made a safe retreat back to the carriage at lightning speed, but then an unexpected incident occurred..."

March 7th's previously slightly excited tone suddenly changed, and his beaming expression dimmed.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Qiong noticed that March 7th's expression wasn't good—March 7th's expression was similar to that of a certain cat named Qi when she made a boast before the exam and then got scolded by Theresa after failing.

"It wasn't that serious. We're all fine, aren't we? Everyone was rescued and no one was injured. It's just that the train carriage broke down halfway through the journey, and we almost all fell into the sea..."

March 7th scratched his head and chuckled twice.

"It must be Himeko-neechan's fault for not checking the engine in the carriage!"

"In March, the train carriages had no engines."

Dan Heng couldn't help but remind her, "This can't be blamed on Himeko at all, can it?"

"Anyway, just when I thought I was going to fall into the sea and had to abandon the carriage and go back, Danheng made a move! He jumped out and supported the entire carriage with one hand while running on the water. You didn't see the scene, Little Coralie and the others were stunned!"

A scene flashed through Qiong's mind: the Starry Sky Train, which was traveling smoothly (he couldn't imagine a separate carriage!), suddenly plummeted downwards. The passengers, including March 7th, screamed and panicked. In the critical moment, the usually taciturn and cold-faced Little Azure Dragon made his move. He transformed into the Moon Drinker, manipulated the seawater, and used his light-footed skill to walk on water. Then, with one hand supporting the train, he ran westward with the help of the seawater...

Qiong looked at Danheng with curiosity, but Danheng turned his head to the other side.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and we had no choice but to do this as a last resort."

"Anyway, it's all thanks to Danheng. If it weren't for him, we would all be soaked to the bone."

"By the way, we originally wanted to ask Mr. Walter or Ms. Himeko to get off the train to inspect and repair it, but those two insisted on thanking us and took over the train repair work."

Although Danheng felt that it was less about thanking the train crew and more about the red and blue scientists wanting to dismantle the carriages and study them...

"Qiong, what are you doing!"

"senior?"

The familiar voice startled Qiong. Turning around, she saw Anna standing not far away with her arms crossed, her face showing an anxious (?) and angry (?) expression that made her feel uneasy.

Beside her were two other people who had appeared in the March 7th story.

No, he hasn't done anything wrong, what's there to be afraid of!

Qiong, who had a clear conscience, immediately returned to normal.

“Senior, they are my friends, Danheng and Sanyueqi... I didn’t do anything.”

"That's exactly right, we didn't do anything!"

Anna strode over, ignoring Danheng and Sanyueqi, and grabbed Qiong's wrist.

"It's almost evening, and you haven't reported to the Hyperion all day. Do you even want to be captain anymore? The other crew members are all asking about you!"

Qiong was a little confused. How could he have been absent from work (although he had been absent quite a few times)? But this time he had asked for leave, right?

"Wait a minute, shouldn't I have asked for leave?"

Anna rolled her eyes at Qiong, annoyed.

"Major Himeko didn't approve it, didn't you see the message?"

"what?!"

----------------

"I still find it hard to believe that Vice-Captain Rita lost to the invaders and escaped from Captain Durandal's trap. They must have used some underhanded tactics!"

"Exactly! Those guys are too cunning!"

Two indignant Valkyries of the Undying Blade were cursing the invaders, whose appearance they still didn't know. Durandal, who happened to be passing by and overheard this, was about to clarify when Amber pulled her away.

"Lady Durandal, the bishop requests your immediate presence."

"it is good."

Upon receiving the order, Durandal didn't ask any questions; she swiftly followed Amber to Otto's office.

Durandal saw no excuses; the truth was that these Valkyries had made mistakes: they had lowered their guard because they thought headquarters was impregnable and no one would dare to attack; they had underestimated the enemy's strength, thinking that Rita alone could take them all down, only to be defeated instead; and they had the preconceived notion that the prison had only one exit, unaware that the intruders possessed the ability to break through the walls and escape…

If given the chance, she would be very happy to have a fair fight with those people.

"Your Excellency, I have arrived."

However, Durandal knows that Otto Apocalypse is furious and has even declared war on Anti-Entropy!

If things are like this externally, then internally a major overhaul is definitely needed. As the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, she cannot escape blame and will surely be punished, right?

"You've come at the perfect time, Durandal."

Otto sat in the chair, looking down at the bizarre and wonderful photos and portraits.

"How interesting. After all these years of being confined to North America, Anti-Entropy has actually dared to launch attacks on all sides? In just a few months, they've clashed with us in China, the Far East, Europe, and Oceania, and now they've even extended their reach to our headquarters?"

Durandal immediately straightened her back.

"It was our Valkyrie's oversight that led to the underestimation of the enemy. We will improve our combat capabilities in the future. Now, we ask the Bishop to punish us!"

"Punishment? What punishment?"

Otto slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Durandal. Although that was quite unexpected, he shouldn't have shown any anger, right?

The war against Anti-Entropy wasn't out of anger; it was simply a desire to retrieve the gem. If Walter delivered the gem to his desk tomorrow, the war would end immediately.

"Don't rush to assign blame. Although the headquarters being hacked is a serious matter, my reason for calling you here is unrelated to that. I have an important task for you."

As Otto spoke, Amber handed a document to Durandal.

“There have been some unusual developments in the UK recently, and our experts believe they may be related to the Divine Key. I need you to lead a Valkyrie squad there and make sure the Divine Key doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.”

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, the mission will be accomplished!"

Seeing Durandal's serious expression, Otto wore an expression like that of a kind old father.

"Alright, alright, don't be so serious, sit down! By the way, take a look at these photos, how similar do they look to the intruder you saw?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Looking at the dazed goose sitting upright in front of him, Otto didn't know what to say.

"Bishop, I heard that one of the invaders could carry the aircraft carriage they came in on the sea with one hand. Is that true?"

"It's unclear at the moment, but it's very likely true."

Durandal wasn't the only one curious; Otto was too. After all, their rivals had somehow created a Superman, as if genetics and biology didn't exist—surely they couldn't have actually created a Superman based on Lysenko's pseudoscience of acquired inheritance, could they?

Honestly, before this, Otto would have preferred Anti-Entropy to have created a Gundam rather than Superman. But when faced with the reality, he had no choice but to believe it.

Durandal took the photo and examined it carefully. Although the person in the thermally processed photo was somewhat blurry, she recognized him at a glance—the pink-haired man was one of the people who had broken into headquarters earlier.

“Your Excellency, I briefly saw this person before their transformation!”

Otto nodded slightly, it seemed he had managed to capture one of their true forms.

"Oh, by the way, you're going to England. Since Rita is injured and can't come with you, I've specially found you an assistant."

"assistant?"

----------------

West Asia, the base of the Phosphate Sand Squad.

"Captain, we've received an email from headquarters—it's a transfer letter!"

The shouting of the vice-captain Sofia excited their one-eyed captain, Mattila.

"Great, Sophia! We must have received headquarters' approval! They're going to transfer us to a more important battlefield, right? The opportunity has finally arrived! As long as we become an S-rank Valkyrie and an elite squad, all the sacrifices will be worthwhile!"

Mattila was practically jumping for joy. She and Sophia had been stuck at A-rank for far too long. Was headquarters going to equip them with Godslayer Armor and send them up to S-rank Valkyrie?

The whole team needs to know this good news! First and foremost is the little bear who lives with the two of them and is currently taking a bath.

"Susana, come out quickly, did you hear me! Something amazing has happened!"

"Coming, coming! Sorry Captain, I was too slow washing!"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Mattila didn't care. Everyone knew that Susana's family were gem tycoons with mines, and in Mattila's eyes, it was already quite good that she wasn't spoiled and could be a qualified Valkyrie. Taking a bath a little slowly and wasting water? That's no big deal!

"But Mattila..."

Sofia's expression changed from excitement to strangeness.

"Only Susana's name is on the transfer list..."

"what!"

"well--!"

Why is Sai Fei'er a five-star?

Because the cat said, "Mei-nee, I don't want to be number four," she wants to be number five.

What a lame, corny joke.
