Himeko came up behind Kiana, first holding the Xuanyuan Sword with a wary look on her face, then paused for a second when she saw the person in front of her, and then shouted incredulously.
"This is... Kiana!"
Chapter 182 The Sixth in the Team
Kiana stood there, not daring to turn around. On the contrary, Xuan Yu turned around and looked at the four people who had arrived. Especially when her eyes swept over Mei, a faint smile appeared on her face.
"It's been a long time, Himeko."
"Long time no see, Senior Xuan Yu."
Himeko responded to Xuan Yu, but her eyes were fixed on Kiana's back. Seeing this, Xuan Yu forcibly turned Kiana around, pushed her forward a few steps, and called Rita over to help her guard against the ravens.
"Um, Himeko-sensei, and Mei and Wendy, well, it's been a long time."
Kiana gripped her right arm with her left hand, and from her tone, you could tell she was a little reserved. She glanced at them sideways, avoiding their gaze.
"Kiana, you don't need to be so nervous."
Himeko put away the Xuanyuan Sword, feeling heartbroken at Kiana's silent state, and went over to give her a gentle hug.
"Teacher Himeko."
Kiana didn't know what to say, so she stayed in Himeko's arms for a while before coming out and looking at Mei behind her.
"Kiana."
Mei rushed over and hugged Kiana tightly. Kiana was at a loss, but finally put her hand on Mei and gently patted her back.
"Mei, it's been a long time."
"Ah."
Mei released Kiana, then held her hands tightly, her eyes filled with tears. She had so much to say to Kiana, but gazing into her eyes, she didn't know which sentence to speak first.
"I'm asking you, is it really okay for you to just barge into other people's homes like that?"
Seeing that there were many people on the other side, Raven simply put down her bow and arrows. With her meager salary, she wouldn't risk her life. She would just symbolically block a few shots and be done with it.
"I didn't want to come in the first place, but it seems like your World Serpent has done something in this city."
Raven didn't respond to Xuan Yu's words. The jackals had been conducting many more experiments these days, so it would be strange if Xuan Yu and the others hadn't noticed.
"I'm very curious about what you're planning to do. Could you tell me?"
"Okay, so what do you want in return?"
The raven fiddled with her arrows, though of course she couldn't tell them what she was doing; she was just stalling for time so the jackals could come to their aid.
"Raven, you could say less."
The jackal appeared behind the raven, coldly staring at the group opposite.
"Jackal, do you snakes in your world really like giving animals nicknames?"
"Nothing to do with you."
The jackal clapped its hands, and a quantum fluctuation appeared between the two groups of people. A ferocious monster appeared, its four claws outstretched towards Xuan Yu.
"Rita, take this and drink it quickly."
Xuan Yu tossed the antidote to Rita, drew the short knife from her waist, and looked at the little crayfish with great interest.
"Lady Xuanyu, this is..."
"How about the antidote that Kiana and I specially found? Is it good for you?"
"Thank you, Lady Xuanyu."
Rita didn't take the antidote right now; she used it here herself, so there's nothing anyone else can do.
"It's fine if you don't need it, Kiana, get to work!"
Xuan Yu told Rita to step back, then called Kiana up, while glancing at Mei beside her.
"Little Mei, come here too."
Tonatiu didn't care about any of that and slapped Xuanyu with its claws as she tried to call for help.
Xuan Yu swung her sword, the blade striking the claws with a crisp sound, forcefully deflecting Tonatiwu's attack.
"It is very impolite to interrupt others when they are speaking, even if you don't understand."
Xuan Yu coldly stared at Tonatiu. She had originally planned to let Kiana and Mei practice, but judging from the probing just now, this guy was not someone they could easily deal with.
"You two, support me properly. Mei, can I borrow your sword for a moment?"
Mei nodded and handed the plasma camera to Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu tossed her the short sword, picked up the plasma camera, tried it out, and nodded in satisfaction.
A faint mist of ice appeared on the plasma screen. Xuan Yu, wielding her swords in both hands, quickly stepped forward and slashed at one of Tonatiu's claws. Her speed was so fast that no one present could see her clearly. Only Rita and Himeko caught a glimpse of her afterimage.
The plasma display cleaved through the armor on Tonatiu's claws, the blade embedding itself into the silicone-like flesh, nearly severing the entire claw.
Tornatiu felt a sharp pain and retreated in a quantum state, his eyes flashing with an eerie blue light as he warily stared at Xuan Yu.
Seeing that Tonatiu dared not step forward, Xuan Yu put one hand behind her back and made a gesture. Kiana understood and shot Tonatiu's huge body before taking Mei forward.
"Mei, it's your turn. You guys go ahead. I'll keep watch for you."
"it is good."
Kiana nodded, exchanged a glance with Mei, and stepped forward simultaneously, wielding her twin pistols and longsword at Tonatiu.
Aren't you going over there?
The jackal looked at the two men locked in battle with Tonatiu and gave a commanding speech to the raven.
Raven twirled the arrow in his hand, then threw it forcefully to the side. The arrow flew past the jackal mask and embedded itself straight into the metal wall.
"Isn't that thing enough to handle it?"
Raven pointed at Tonatiu. She had no intention of taking action at the moment. She was a colleague, not a superior or subordinate, so there was no need for her to listen to her.
"Humph."
Jackal snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on the front. Since the device was already installed, all he had to do now was stall Xuan Yu and the others.
"Well, I see."
While Kiana was fighting Mei, Xuan Yu received a call from Sirin. Her expression darkened, and she said a few words before hurriedly hanging up.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Himeko noticed that Xuan Yu's expression was off and went to ask her what was wrong. Xuan Yu glanced at the jackal and the raven, and finally looked at Rita, saying in a low voice, "Rita, were the Honkai energy engines on your ship removed?"
"How did Lady Xuanyu know? Could it be that..."
"The World Serpent installed its engine on the highest signal tower, using the entire Sky Dome City as a testing ground to trigger a massive collapse."
"what!"
Everyone was startled, but then they remembered the experimental information they had seen earlier, and their gazes toward the two people opposite them became friendly.
How did they know?
Upon hearing Xuan Yu's words, the jackal became anxious and urged the raven to quickly go up and stop them, lest the plan fail.
"I know, you don't need to tell me."
Raven became serious at this moment. If this mission failed, her reward and bonus would be gone, which was the last thing she wanted to see.
Raven lowered his hood, blurred past Tonatiu, kicked Kiana with a whip kick, blocked Mei's knife, grabbed her wrist and threw her towards Kiana, then threw a dart at Xuan Yu.
The dart was intercepted by Himeko, who was next to Xuan Yu, with her greatsword. Himeko's eyes narrowed, she took a few steps forward and swung the Xuanyuan Sword upwards, single-handedly defending against the raven.
"Senior Xuan Yu, leave this to me. You all go and stop the Honkai."
"No need, Kiana, open the door!"
"it is good!"
Kiana gave a low shout, her huge cat paw swatting away Tonatiu, and she pulled Mei along to teleport to Xuan Yu's side, opening a portal for the others to enter.
"Kiana, you take Mei and Wendy over there. Rita, come and help."
Seeing that Kiana and the others were about to run away, Raven threw several darts at Himeko's eyes. As Himeko swung her sword to block, Raven spun around the darts and aimed its bow at Kiana.
"Don't think about it!"
Himeko stepped back with her left foot, gripped her sword with both hands, and turned around to strike, disrupting Raven's movements and allowing Kiana and the other two to enter the portal and leave the scene.
"Oops!"
Seeing that Kiana and the others had run away, Jackal quickly maneuvered his mech toward the signal tower to provide reinforcements, gritting his teeth as he looked at the three people left behind.
"Damn it, how did they know?"
……
In the distance, on a tall building overlooking the signal tower, Gray Snake put down his phone. His crimson electronic prosthetic eye stared at the engine on the signal tower, and a cold, mechanical voice rang out.
Why tell them this?
"Project Stigmata will ultimately fail; it is not our ultimate goal."
The golden snake emerged from the shadows behind, and although it was also a mechanical voice, a hint of fanaticism could be heard in it.
All we have to do is follow his will.
