Where is the third collapse? ! !

The short boy smiled playfully.

Heinrich moved his neck, and the sound of bones rubbing against each other like steel clanged.

I've almost adapted to my new body.

He nodded secretly and gave one last warning: "The next mission involves Rita Rossweisse, also an S-rank Valkyrie. Be extremely careful. Don't drag your feet like last time, where you almost got caught by that Shining Knight."

Ashdol curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, uncle. Even if Yulandel really comes, what will happen? Didn't she fail to take my life last time?"

Heinrich glanced at him and said, "I just don't understand your abilities."

"Even if she finds out, she can't do anything to me unless she can break through the restrictions of the treaty and unleash her full combat power."

The young man was full of confidence: "In this era where all those above S-rank are restricted by treaties, I am undoubtedly the strongest!"

"Where's Alexander Rossweisse?"

The man was too lazy to waste time talking to him. "According to the previous arrangement, while I was adapting to the Joyce clone, you were responsible for going to Rossweisse's residence and abducting him. You were going to use him as leverage to force Rita Rossweisse into submission. Where is he now?"

“People, people…”

Ashdol scratched his cheek and looked away awkwardly: "The person is in the hands of that patrol ranger."

"Ranger of the World?"

Recalling the latest intelligence, Heinrich said coldly: "The Potio who killed Oswald?"

"Yes."

The mention of Ashdol filled him with resentment: "The rocks I threw pierced his chest and even blew off a third of his head, and yet this guy just picked up Alexander and ran off like nothing happened! Ugh, no moral principles!"

"That guy is a cyborg. Neither his heart nor his brain are his fatal weaknesses."

Heinrich was accustomed to the younger generation's feat of almost instantly killing the A-level Potio.

This is the disparity in the world. As users of the same HTR-type transformation potion, their vampire-like abilities are already strong enough, but compared with Ashdol, at least in the face of a deadly battle between the two sides, ten of them would not be enough to keep Ashdol from slaughtering for three minutes, and that was when they were usurping the replica of Li Lu.

The man, feeling sad, waved to stop an SUV, broke the driver's window, grabbed the cursing driver and turned him into a zombie who obeyed his orders.

"Let's go."

He sat in the back seat with great stride.

Ashdol, who had slipped into the passenger seat early, turned around and said:

"Where to go?"

"Go find that Ranger and take back the hostage we're using to threaten Rita Rossweisse."

Heinrich said: "And contact that woman Elizabeth and tell her not to mess with Rita Rossweisse until the hostage is actually taken."

"That's late."

Ashdol spread his hands and said, "We just got off the plane, and that guy can't wait to seek revenge on her 'good sister Rita'."

"..."

……

In the drizzle, two figures were running one after the other.

The blue-gray mist wrapped in raindrops stuck to Maria's eyelashes, and her high heels crushed the fragmented neon lights in the puddles.

The dark golden figure thirty meters away appeared and disappeared in the shadow of the sycamore tree, like a ball of mist that would melt in the rain at any time.

After finding Rita who had just left the airport, Maria took the lead and rushed ahead, saying, "Mr. Alexander has been kidnapped, and the criminal asked me to take you to see the other party."

Rita, whose father had suffered a great loss, followed him without hesitation through the streets and alleys, waiting to meet her mortal enemy.

At first glance, this is indeed the case.

As long as we rule out the possibility that Rita never approached within a ten-meter radius centered on Maria from beginning to end.

Ten meters, this is a very delicate distance.

You can attack when you advance or defend when you retreat, you can rush to provide support or evacuate.

In other words, even though her father's life was in danger, Rita Rossweisse was still wary of Maria who came to tip her off.

"You are so heartless! You haven't changed at all since you were in Tianming."

Maria, realizing this, stopped.

She turned around, her bloodshot eyes mocking the figure not far away:

His short gray-gold hair was wet by the rain, with a few strands of hair clinging to the teardrop mole at the right corner of his eye. His burgundy pupils locked onto his target through the rain curtain, and the slight arc of his mouth revealed his concentration before the battle.

The outer armor of the third-generation Valkyrie Armor [Hunter Shadow Iron] wrapped around her upper body. The blue-black sickle blade named Gene Harvester shone coldly in the rain. The raindrops were cut into fine water droplets by the blade wind, and their trajectories were clearly visible.

A glint of greed and jealousy flashed in Maria's eyes as she continued, "It's precisely because you're so ruthless that the Archbishop entrusted you with the management of the most elite assassination squad of the Mandate of Heaven. If they don't even care about the lives of their loved ones, what else would they care about? Could it be that Yulandel, who's currently having an affair with a certain underling (Fury)? Are you really a lesbian?"

Perhaps sensing something from this familiar tone, Rita whispered, "Elizabeth."

"Yes, it's me, your classmate and friend, and the defective product whose title of the best you stole."

Maria tore off the human skin mask on her face, revealing her true appearance and a pair of crazy red eyes that sparkled with dark stars.

Although her beautiful face was distorted by her exaggerated facial movements again and again, Elizabeth herself did not seem to care much about it.

Rita knew that her classmate really didn't care.

Elizabeth Hoshino, an orphan of British and Japanese descent, joined Sci-Fi in the same year as Rita, trained at the same time, and passed the official employment assessment at the same time. She is a former Valkyrie.

Judging from their experiences, these two should have become good friends.

At that time, they lived in the same dormitory, worked hard under the encouragement of the same instructors, shared snacks and tears in the middle of the night, and tested and encouraged each other before the test.

We are young students in the prime of our youth.

It’s a pity that Rita Rossweisse is still too outstanding.

This is how the world of Collapse is. Although Rita seems inconspicuous among a bunch of monsters, in fact, in terms of talent and will, she stands at the pinnacle of all mankind, which is the limit that ordinary people can reach through their own efforts.

Elizabeth couldn't do it. No matter how hard she tried to catch up, the obvious talent test told her:

Your Honkai ability is only so adaptable, and your ending will be to watch your friend, who is now on par with you, soar into the sky, leaving you behind without even a trace of his back.

The resentment accumulated again and again in my heart, and eventually turned into a dark distortion.

On Rita's 16th birthday, she passed the assessment and officially became an A-class Valkyrie.

The girl returned to the dormitory with her report card full of joy and shared her happiness with her classmates and friends.

Elizabeth happily returned the hug, and the two of them drank some red wine, which was rare, and then fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Rita suddenly felt something pressing on her.

At first she thought Elizabeth was sleeping and pretending to be nervous, so she didn't pay much attention to it, until a pair of cold hands touched her neck, and she couldn't breathe.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw were a pair of ruby ​​eyes similar to her own, and an extremely hideous face.

Rita could never forget that face, a vicious face filled with hideous ugliness, jealousy, and darkness, with the man constantly cursing himself, "Die, die, die, die, die, die, die!"

Rita tried to struggle, but found that her limbs were completely powerless.

The red wine had been drugged.

This matter is unremarkable.

"Am I going to die here? Ragnar..."

Like a kaleidoscope, her mind recalled the scene of the last time she faced death.

I was a small creature hiding behind the flower stand, and the Honkai Beast was approaching with its fangs and claws bared.

The next moment, a heroic maid fell from the sky and waved the broom in her hand to block the claws of the Honkai beast.

On one side is a slender woman, and on the other side is a huge monster over ten meters tall.

The powerful visual impact made little Rita stare at the scene in a daze, her heart seemed to stop at this moment, unable to make any sound.

Until a little head popped out from Ragnar's shoulder: "Hello, beautiful lady! Don't worry, everything is fine! Because Li Bao and Ragnar are here!"

"If you're really scared, just hug me."

He climbed down using his hands and knees and snuggled into the arms of a girl four years older than him. "The older sisters at Tianming all said I feel great to hold. I'm sure I won't be afraid if you hold me! By the way, you smell so good, little sister. Can I come play with you later?"

The boy's confident expression was super cute, and his rare crimson eyes sparkled in the darkness.

Yes, crimson eyes.

And your pair of filth-filled ones—completely different!

Rita thought as she met Elizabeth's ferocious red eyes.

Power burst out from the girl's body.

This was not a miracle. Based on the maid etiquette taught by Ragnar, Rita always only tasted the contents of the cup and quietly disposed of the rest through magic.

The dose Elizabeth put in the red wine was enough to paralyze the defenseless A-class Valkyrie for several minutes. However, because she tasted too little, after concentrating all her strength on one point, Rita still knocked on the fire sprinkler head in the room, signaling the arrival of a fire.

If this happened in Los Angeles, North America, which respects the freedom of wildfires, it would be useless even if Rita did this.

Fortunately, this was destiny, and the Valkyrie in charge of the night patrol that day was called Bianca Atagina.

The little Valkyrie, who had advanced to A-level at the same time as the girl, defeated Elizabeth in no time and protected the distraught Rita from her.

He then used all his strength to knock it off the floating island, and it crashed into the Mediterranean Sea and its whereabouts are unknown.

This was also the first time Rita and Bianca met.

Of course, the little goose couldn't remember such a small thing. In her impression, Rita was the assistant sent by Bishop Otto to help him sneak into the world bubble.

Little did she know that the reason why Otto chose Rita to be his assistant was because of this coincidence.

……

The rain slid down the patterns of the hunter suit's shadow iron armor, and the reflective metal surface reflected a cold light. The soaked skirt clung to the curve of the girl's legs, adding a breathtaking beauty to her at this moment.

"I went looking for you afterwards."

Rita said, "But there was none."

"Of course you can't find me."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Because I didn't fall into the Mediterranean Sea at all. Instead, I was captured mid-air by those Dead Faces from the Court of Inquisition and taken back to the prison on the pretext of assaulting a colleague. After being tortured, I was thrown into the hands of those Anthropomorphs from District 4 for human experiments!"

Rita said calmly, "You brought this upon yourself. To use the words of ancient Eastern civilization, you deserve it."

You can't expect a person to be nice to the guy who almost killed him. She finally swallowed the word "Ji8" in "Huo Ji8gai".

But this aggressiveness obviously still made Elizabeth's face distorted.

Rita's questioning was not over yet: "You killed the real Miss Maria, right? You also kidnapped my father, right?"

"The first one is indeed like that, but the second one can only be said to be too late."

Elizabeth laughed maliciously. "Who knew you were so annoying, Rita? It's not just me who wants to kidnap your family to avenge you. That stinking motor oil ranger is also involved!"

"But don't worry, I have already reached a cooperation with him. Just think of it as me kidnapping him."

This is a lie. Elizabeth and Poteo never reached a cooperation agreement.

However, this did not prevent her from taking advantage of the situation. Rita knew nothing anyway: "It's really hard for you to work for Tianming, doing the work of an assassination team, being a dog in the shadows biting others."

"...So you came here this time to take revenge on me, an active S-rank Valkyrie?"

Rita bent her body slightly, holding the end of the sickle handle with her left hand and gathering strength with her right hand at her waist.

"S-rank Valkyrie? You?"

Elizabeth burst into laughter. "Everyone knows that among the three great Valkyries today, you, Rita Rossweisse, are just a filler. Your destiny has fallen, to have you, someone who has trouble even dealing with an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, be ranked alongside that Yulandel."

She asked curiously, "But there are also rumors that you got promoted because of your nepotism with Youlan Daier, and that you and that person have always been having an affair. Is this true or not?"

In fact, the original rumor was that the captain and vice-captain of the Undying Blade were both lesbians, but no one expected that Fu Li and Bianca would suddenly appear and get close to each other.

The vast majority of yuri fans detest this. Damn Fu Li! How dare he tarnish the purity of the all-female Immortal Blade!

Today he dares to have a scandal with Youlandel, tomorrow he dares to FLY with Liyou, and the day after tomorrow he dares to kill Miss Amber and Ella together!

What? Ella is an artificial intelligence?

Don't worry about it. Human-machine love has always been popular among the public. It is also recorded in "Human Computer Angel Heart", "Heaven's Lost Property" and "Plastic Memories".

Look, the heroine in "Plastic Memories" is also called Ella!

Facing Elizabeth, who was full of stench and conspiracy, Rita's answer was:
