Where is the third collapse? ! !

The girl's expression was solemn. "Are you still planning on continuing with the mission of investigating the Kanas Lake monster?"

......

Chapter 34: "Hua is my little wife!"

Dark clouds rolled across the sky like ink, and fine rain curtains shrouded the streets in a hazy mist. Raindrops as big as beans hit the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, flowing along the uneven patterns to form winding streams and rush to the drainage outlet on the side of the road.

"Are you still planning on continuing with the mission of investigating the truth behind the Kanas Lake Monster?"

A white baseball cap with a black triangle logo, a pure white sweatshirt with dark trims, and matching cropped pants.

As a living fossil that has survived for five thousand years, even if Fu Hua did not deliberately dress up, her clothes combined with her dignified and elegant appearance still made her look very charming.

The tactical belt outlines the girl's neat lines. Her long hair, as if tempered by moonlight, is tied into a neat high ponytail. Her cobalt blue eyes stare at everyone, and the tail of her hair rises in a sharp arc as she moves, shining with the golden geometric earrings.

Faced with her pointed gaze, both Bronya and Kiana looked away uncomfortably.

Only Fu Li.

"My cousin is so handsome! My cousin is so cool! If I were a woman, I would definitely marry you and be your sweet wife for life!"

He shook eight fluorescent sticks that he got from somewhere vigorously between his fingers, cheering with all his strength.

To round it off, it’s my cousin’s little wife!

Fu Hua held her forehead with her hand, feeling tired. "Let's get down to business."

"it is good!"

Highlight the well-behaved one.

The girl tried to restore her previous cold demeanor, but found that it was gone forever, just like the shattered Taixu Sword Heart five hundred years ago.

She said helplessly, "You have already seen the specific situation. This mission is clearly beyond our capabilities."

The clans of Honkai derivatives, which possess several Emperor-level and multiple A-level strengths, can compete with the forces under the command of some non-combatant executors of Anti-Entropy.

Now that the two big brothers Mei (Kurigara) and Kallen (Hyperion) have been banned, what can the new Big Three led by Fury do to fight against them?

"You can't say that."

Bronya spoke calmly, "The fool Kiana's father, Siegfried Kaslana, who holds the Key of Destruction, is nearby. Bronya doesn't understand why he chose to hide his identity and not meet his daughter, but he is undoubtedly an ally of ours."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Kiana nodded rapidly.

Given her personality, she should have put her foot on the table, raised her chin, and shouted, "My stinky dad is here, these are just lake monsters, watch me fuck them all!"

The reason why he was quiet this time was that he remembered the mistakes he had made before and did not act too aggressively in front of Fu Li whose parents were missing.

"Well, even if Mr. Siegfried can contain the enemy's Emperor-class, what about the rest?" Fu Hua raised her eyebrows slightly. "There are so many A-class Honkai derivatives that I can't even count them on my hands. Can we really deal with them all?"

"sure!"

Fu Li leaned back in his chair and said as a matter of course.

The girl was stunned. Damn! It really works!

In the battle just now, she had been paying attention to this little cousin who was not related to her by blood. Not only did he single-handedly hold back dozens of lake monsters that had formed an army formation, he also relied on his superb swordsmanship to severely injure many of them to the brink of death. They had to rely on the vitality shared by the formation to survive.

In Fu Hua's opinion, this performance has surpassed many powerful critical-level Valkyries, and is almost as good as Wuliangta Jizi who is holding the True Red Knight Sword and wearing the eternally burning fire.

With her cooperation, and the cooperation of Kiana and Bronya, it seems that there will be no problem in defeating the enemy?

To be honest, Fu Li's combat power is not as mysterious as Fu Hua imagined. The main reason is that his own tag combination is particularly suitable for dealing with this kind of combat.

The fragments of the Holy Lance of the End ensure that attacks below the critical level are directly ineffective, and attacks above this level will be weakened by 90% by the invincible golden armor.

The combination of Queyu's movement within an angle of less than 120 degrees and the void teleportation allows the boy to move easily between huge enemies. If he runs out of energy, he can activate the Human Immortal Path to devour the enemy's remains to restore the Honkai energy. Even if an accident really happens, the characteristics of shedding scales and reincarnation can bring him back to life.

Fu Hua murmured to herself, "I suddenly suspect that the enemy's retreat isn't just due to their fear of Siegfried's Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire..."

The handsome face came over immediately: "What did my cousin say?"

"fine."

She spread her fingers and pressed them against Fu Li's face. Amidst his whimpering, the girl looked at Dr. Zhou, the person involved. "What's your opinion?"

Despite her cautious personality, she was still a little worried.

As long as the employer cancels the task, there is no point for those people to continue to find out the truth.

"what?"

Dr. Zhou, having recovered, handed over the bracelet he was polishing. "Try polishing it. During the previous surgery, I removed 24 gallstones. One was sent for testing, two broken stones were discarded, and the rest were ground into Buddhist beads and strung together. They feel nice."

Fu Hua, who almost took it subconsciously, had a slightly changed expression, and her half-raised hand turned into an excuse: "No, no thanks."

This is insane! Using gallstones to make this thing!

She muttered inwardly, "You've witnessed what happened by the lake before. To be frank, while the Kanas Lake incident isn't beyond our capabilities, it's certainly beyond your purview."

"What does it mean to exceed authority?"

"Even if we solve the mystery hidden beneath this lake, after the incident is over, the Shenzhou authorities will come to you and erase this part of your memory."

This is undoubtedly cruel. Dr. Zhou wasted almost half of his life for this answer, causing rifts among his friends and divorce from his wife.

But now Fu Hua told him: What if you learned the truth you had always dreamed of?

When time passes, you will still have nothing, still be the king of liars in the eyes of your relatives and friends, and still be able to wander around Kanas Lake in ignorance and confusion until you die with sadness in your heart. Everything you have done during this period will be in vain.

Because this time, there are no longer any secrets left in Tianguang Lake.

'call--! '

Suddenly a gust of wind blew past, and the umbrellas above everyone's heads crackled.

The dense raindrops formed a continuous rustling sound, like the whispers of spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves.

Dr. Zhou clenched his fist on the table and then slowly unclenched it. After a moment of silence, he said, "Little ones, since you've accepted the mission issued by this old man, you should also read the requirements."

Bronya nodded.

Kiana leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Really? Really? Didn't Hyperion follow the same process as Mei's father?"

"When Bronya checked the task on the dark web earlier, she had already memorized the content."

They originally planned to kill two birds with one stone, but they found that the task over there had already been taken over by Fu Hua.

Even so, the girl still wrote down the task requirements.

Nothing special, just rare.

As a third-party platform, the dark web architecture built by Tianming is similar to online shopping. When employers post tasks, they need to upload the full amount of compensation for the task.

Tianming will keep this part of the funds and distribute them directly after the recipient meets the conditions for completing the task.

That’s right, no second consent from the employer is required.

Doing so directly leads to a problem, that is, as the investor, the employer’s rights and interests during the assignment cannot be guaranteed.

Destiny doesn't care about this. Those who can accept tasks on the platform are either Valkyries or people related to the organization. The important thing is to ensure that these people don't make a wasted trip.

As for the employer? Could you elaborate on the mission requirements, such as ensuring their safety throughout the entire process and canceling the reward if they die?

Anything that is too extreme will not be passed. Ella, the super artificial intelligence, is specifically responsible for this kind of review.

Those that are too simple will not be approved to prevent people from using them to inflate orders and boost sales.

Not satisfied? If you are not satisfied, please find another platform to publish!

Let me be clear, those mercenaries, living on the edge of life, are not Valkyries who uphold the belief of "fighting for a better world." If they suddenly decide to kill their employer, a simple "more money!" is enough.

The tallest one among the short ones is...

The reason why Bronya said that the mission requirements issued by Dr. Zhou were rare was because there was no clause in his contract that said "protect the employer at all costs."

"Old man, I know you won't even notice my meager pension, but if I save for a few more years, my old age won't allow me to run around like this anymore." Dr. Zhou chuckled. "In order to get help sooner, I have to make some sacrifices."

In other words, from the very beginning, the old man was prepared to die on the road to exploring the truth.

"Ms. Fu said that even if we find out the truth, someone will come and erase this part of my memory. Given my personality, it's very likely that I'll die alone and stubbornly by the Kanas Lake."

"But what does it matter? Haven't I already found the answer I've been fighting for my whole life?" His eyes were burning. "Even if I delete this part of my memory, what does it matter? Can it change the established facts that have already happened?"

"Of course not!" Dr. Zhou slammed the table, a wild grin breaking out on his wrinkled old face. "It doesn't matter if I can't remember! Because this mountain remembers, this tree remembers, this river remembers, this lake remembers, and the national archives will also record it. An idiot's lifelong dream has finally come true!"

"And you too." He slowed his tone, his eyes sweeping across the young faces before him. "You too will remember, remember the moment the truth came out, the shameful sight of me, an old man, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down my face."

"For me, that's enough."

Courage is not the absence of fear or ignoring fear, but moving forward in the face of fear.

......

......

"Really? I just finished making these grand statements and then I caught a cold and got hemorrhoids and needed to apply medicine..."

After watching Dr. Zhou's embarrassed back as he ran towards the restroom, Kiana withdrew her gaze and held her cheek in her hand. "So, squad leader, shall we continue the mission?"

The girl rarely asked Fu Li's opinion because she knew that as long as Fu Hua agreed, Fu Li would choose to stay no matter what.

———Damn it! He's obviously not as fierce as me! He's about the same size as me in looks, so why is he so obsessed with Ali?

Qi Bao gritted his teeth in hatred, staring at the boy's scalp, wondering where would be the best place to bite.

"Yes, but there are conditions."

Dr. Zhou’s awareness is worthy of respect, but giving up halfway is not Fu Hua’s style.

She remained seated, her expression serious. "Seven days, seven days at most. If the lake monster problem isn't resolved within that time, I'll notify the Shenzhou authorities and have them dispatch someone to handle it."

Kanas Lake is a 5A-level scenic spot that requires admission. The nearest human settlement is in Jadengyu Town, more than 30 kilometers away, and there are usually few people around it.

But the problem is that in a week, the peak season for summer tourism will arrive and the scenic area will become crowded.

Even though lake monsters have never caused trouble in the Kanas area for thousands of years, Fu Hua still set a deadline just in case.

"We originally planned to resolve this within seven days or so." Fu Li stroked his chin. "Does this count as telepathy?"

"elder brother."

"What?"

"Almost got it."

Bronya hugged herself with a look of disgust on her face. This guy is such a fool. She really can't bear him if he continues like this.

Kiana patted her shoulder and sighed. This was Fu Li's attitude when he first came to the Far East with her. No, it was even worse than this, which made her very confused.

"Just kidding."

Fu Li was also mainly happy. Last week, how could he have had the chance to fight side by side with Fu Hua, the leader of the Honkai side?

When his cousin handed him the Wushuang Nine Turns, he solemnly said, "If you reach the sixth turn, you must come to Saint Freya to find me." However, after only the fifth turn, the Far East branch, led by Theresa, rebelled and attacked Tianming. During this period, Wuliangta Jizi died and Fu Hua's whereabouts were unknown.

In desperation, Fu Li had to accept the mission issued by Tianming to "clean up the Honkai beasts around the Mediterranean Sea", intending to clean up while looking for people.

Then he found an unconscious white-haired ball named Kiana on the coast.

"Conventional Post-War Summary and Intelligence Comprehensive Discussion."

Fu Li, now in the zone, looked at Bronya. "The Heavy-Armored Bunny should have recorded the battle footage. Did he notice anything unusual?"

"Yes, brother, yes."

The little sister lived up to everyone's expectations. She raised her hand and a light curtain unfolded in front of them.

In the picture, the hundred-meter-long lake monster was split into two and slowly sank into the lake like a collapsing mountain. The wreckage dyed the water blood red.

It was the one that was killed first.

Qi Teng, the incarnation of Siegfried, was watching from an inconspicuous corner, but in Bronya's eyes, this guy had already witnessed the battle scene like Dr. Zhou, so there was no need to keep it secret.

"look here."

She magnified one detail, and then magnified it again.
