Collapse, the beginning will avoid 500 years of detours

Otto, who was playing with his phone, felt someone rubbing his arm.

He turned his head in confusion, only to see a man in a black cloak approaching him.

"Hello." The other party's voice was pleasant, but it was not Rita's voice. Otto did not speak. The former continued, "I see that you are alone. When we carry out the mission later, do you want to act together?"

Are you concerned about your single self, or are you saying that you are alone just like yourself?

But no matter what, the other party was a bit familiar, which made Otto shrink back.

Otto turned his head to look at the other person, both of their faces hidden under the hoods. Perhaps sensing Otto's confusion, the latter explained.

"I'm a transfer student. My mom wanted me to gain some experience, so she threw me into this mission."

the girl said.

"By the way, my name is Anna Shaniat. What's your name?"

The girl named Anna said, and Otto raised his eyebrows. He was familiar with Shanyat. His own mother was the head of Shanyat more than 500 years ago. This made Otto feel a little familiar with the girl in front of him.

But of course, names and such were not allowed to be mentioned, not even Otto could speak.

So, he picked up the phone and pressed a button, then turned the screen towards Anna so that she could see the words typed on it.

"My name is Alpha."

"I'm dumb."

PS: Good night

Anna was a Valkyrie at the age of 12.

44. Far East Demon Cave

When Anna learned that the "girl" in front of her was a mute, a trace of pity appeared on her face.

There are many survivors of the Honkai Impact 3rd among the Valkyries of Destiny. They lost a lot in the disaster. Some of them not only have physical injuries, but also mental problems. The "Alpha" in front of them should be one of them.

Thinking of this, Anna subconsciously lowered her head, not wanting her expression to touch Alpha's sensitive heart.

But when she lowered her head, Anna remembered that her expression was hidden by the hood, which made her feel relieved.

Although she had never heard of a Valkyrie named "Alpha", since she was sitting here, she must be one of her own. Anna did not suspect that the other party was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and she moved closer to Otto and whispered.

"You know what? I heard that the reason we're dressed like this is because we want to hide among the examiners. They'll be observing us secretly and then giving us grades."

The first thing she said was hearsay, which made Otto curious about who this girl heard it from.

However, Otto had heard Ragnar mention this matter. He originally planned to ask the A-level Valkyrie "Ghost" to disguise herself as a novice Valkyrie and join the team, but now everyone is wearing a black cloak, so there is no need for disguise. The old hands can just pretend to be newbies with a set of cloaks.

But for Otto's gaming experience, Ragnar did not reveal his identity.

"If the evaluation is good, you can directly qualify to join the A-rank Valkyrie team of your choice, or even..."

"You will be qualified to form a Valkyrie team."

Otto was not interested in this, but he felt that Anna was a bit familiar and talkative, maybe because she was young and not calm enough.

Although Xukong Wanzang knew that this was the future Herrscher of Ice, she did not say anything and let Otto let things take their course, because Anna's identity was not exciting enough. If this was Wuliangta Jizi who had just become a Valkyrie, she would have been muttering about fate in Otto's head.

Picking up the phone, Otto typed, and Anna looked at Otto's white hands and blinked.

“Such beautiful hands…”

She muttered quietly.

The slender white hands were as flexible as a pianist's.

After Otto finished typing like playing the piano, he turned the screen towards Anna.

"Aren't you worried that I'm the examiner?"

Anna blinked her clear eyes and pretended to be mute to avoid making any sound that would cause others to notice something was wrong. Wasn't this like an examiner disguised as a newbie?

Her face turned pale and she sat upright in her seat, looking like a good child.

Seeing Anna sitting upright, Otto smiled and started typing again.

"I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm not an examiner."

But I am your Bishop.

Seeing the words on the screen, Anna patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, which made Otto feel that this little girl was simple-minded and actually believed it.

I don’t know whether I really believed it or just pretended to believe it.

Maybe it was because he suffered a loss at the hands of Xukong Wanzang in the beginning, Otto felt that his thoughts had been corrupted by the former. Can't people trust each other more?

Otto pressed his phone and used the authority of the Bishop of Destiny to search for Anna's information in the database.

Soon, Anna no longer had any secrets in Otto's eyes. He even knew when she wet the bed. After a quick glance, he nodded in his heart at Anna's age.

It turns out that she is so much younger than her real age.

And at such a young age, she is already a top-level Valkyrie, she has a bright future.

However, Otto smiled self-deprecatingly. He now trusted Anna quite a bit, but this was only after fully understanding her.

I can no longer be like Anna and easily trust people I don't know.

I can only blame myself for being outgoing for the first time after traveling through time, and encountering Xukong Wanzang who coveted my body.

Yes, it is like that.

Anna didn't know that Otto had even found the photo of her when she was just born. She chatted with Otto in a series of words, showing some enthusiasm.

Because she is a member of the Shaniyat family, she has been trained since childhood, and then passed the Valkyrie assessment at a young age and became a level Valkyrie, which resulted in her not coming into contact with many other Valkyries.

Being thrown into this mission by her own mother, surrounded by strangers, made her feel uneasy in line with her age. But when she saw Otto just now, she suddenly felt a sense of security from the latter, so she mustered up the courage to come up and talk to him.

In short, Shaniyat's blood was moved.

But her young age also led to her lack of experience. As Anna spoke, she didn't know what to say, and some of the things she liked were childish in a way that suited her age, making her feel embarrassed to speak in front of this "big sister".

Well, even though the other party was always typing on her phone to communicate with her, Anna felt that the other party had a quiet and gentle temperament, just like a mature older sister.

After thinking about it, Anna took out her cell phone and prepared to share something with her "big sister" that she might be interested in.

"Do you know? The bishop wants to form a special force." Anna said in a low voice.

Otto raised an eyebrow.

How come he doesn't know this?

"The unit's name has been decided. It's called the Immortal Blade. The Bishop and my aunt have told me that whoever becomes the new S-rank Valkyrie will become the captain of the Immortal Blade."

"This will be the second S-rank Valkyrie team, following the Snow Wolf Squad, whose organization was preserved ten years ago but has not recruited any new members to date."

"If I could become one of them, it would be worth it even if I died in battle."

There was a gleam of admiration in Qianna's eyes. As a Shaniat, she grew up listening to the story of the legendary Valkyrie Cecilia Shaniat. Unfortunately, Cecilia had died before she was born.

As if worried that Otto wouldn't believe her, she took a photo from her phone.

It looks like a photo of a family gathering.

Otto judged from the hair color that this was probably a gathering of the Shaniat family.

But...from the angle, it feels a bit like a candid photo.

Otto did not point this out, but instead fixed his gaze on the photo of the blond man surrounded by several girls.

This is my future self.

Otto narrowed his eyes. This was the first time he had seen a video of his future self. He didn't want to destroy some of his fantasies about his future self. Looking at the picture of himself, he suddenly felt...

This is how I should look.

In the photo, the blond man sitting in the middle seat, even with a smile on his face, still gave Otto a profound feeling. His emerald eyes were like the finest wine in the world, full of history.

It feels a bit like a void.

wrong.

Otto shook his head. To be precise, it was Xukong Wanzang who looked like this man. After more than five hundred years of entanglement, Xukong Wanzang inevitably had the scent of him.

But looking at the photo, Otto felt vaguely...

It felt like I had seen him somewhere before.

Otto frowned deeply, and at this moment Anna took back her phone, interrupting Otto's thoughts.

Otto types something on his phone and shows it to Anna.

It's not about asking Anna to show me the photo again, but...

"The secret photo was discovered^^"

Suddenly, Anna scratched her hot cheek in embarrassment.

The angle of the photo looks like a candid shot, but the man in the photo obviously noticed that he was being photographed, and he looked towards the camera with a smile.

"Other people were taking pictures too. It was my aunt's birthday that day, and the bishop hadn't made an appearance so easily, so I just wanted to take a picture as a souvenir."

As for going up to take a photo with the bishop, Anna didn't have the courage.

However, it’s not like she didn’t have photos with the bishop. When she was just born, the bishop took a photo with her in his arms.

But Anna managed to keep the matter to herself because she was worried that she would be considered showing off.

"By the way, my aunt is Lady Cecilia's mother." Anna sighed softly as she spoke of this matter. "Ever since Cecilia passed away, no new S-rank Valkyrie has appeared in our Destiny."

"Although Lady Theresa was once offered the honor of S-rank, she refused."

Anna's tone was filled with regret, as if she was the one who refused the S-rank title.

"Although there haven't been any new S-rank Valkyries in recent years, there has been an S-rank wanted order..."

Anna suddenly shut up, as if she had said something she shouldn't have. Although Kaslana was a relative, this was a family scandal.

Even though it was fate that everyone knew about V Yiqiba Mingqi.翏:Qn Dao's family scandal.

Otto knew that Anna was talking about Siegfried. Even though Otto knew that there was nothing wrong with what Siegfried had done, he still couldn't like Siegfried at all because he didn't like people who betrayed "himself".

But for Kiana's sake, Otto will give Siegfried a chance to live when he is caught.

Thinking of Kiana, Otto sighed in his heart. He didn't know what was wrong with Kiana now, and he didn't know if she still remembered her words about wanting to become the strongest Valkyrie.

Anna swallowed and stopped mentioning things that couldn't be said. Instead, she spoke with a hint of curiosity.

"I don't know who the next S-rank Valkyrie will be. I feel like there are three most likely candidates."

"One is my aunt. You may not have heard of her. Her name is Maria Shaniat. She is Lady Cecilia's cousin, but she is only a few years older than me."

Otto had indeed not heard of it. He pressed his phone and nodded.

Now he even knows how old the other person was when he started wetting the bed.

"The other is a genius from St. Freya's Academy, a favorite student of Lady Theresa. Her name is Wendy. I heard she will also participate in this operation."

Otto nodded, he didn't recognize this either.

Then he flipped through Wendy's information and nodded.

Now we know each other.

After all, one is Shaniyat and the other is Theresa's disciple. Maybe they know their future selves, so Otto must at least recognize them to avoid doing anything wrong.

"What about the third one?" Otto asked, raising his phone.

"Well... this is just my personal opinion. I think the third person who might become an S-class Valkyrie... is Rita."

Oh?

Otto sat up straight. Finally, he knew someone.

However, Rita's evaluation is really high, and Ragnar also admires her very much.

Seeing Otto's reaction, Anna blinked and asked curiously.

"Alpha, do you know her?" She felt she had asked a stupid question. "That's right, you're also a Valkyrie at headquarters. I've only spoken a few words to Rita, but I often see her in the training room."
