Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

A moment later, Bai Yan extended his hand to Kiana.

The latter paused, then reached out and used the leverage to stand up.

Her complexion had improved somewhat, but the gloom between her brows had not yet dissipated.

Kiana got up and released her grip, asking, "You...don't hate me?"

Bai Yan did not give a direct answer.

"No matter what my answer is, it will not help change the status quo."

Kiana: "..."

"So, please follow me to a place."

"Ah."

Kiana took a deep breath and followed behind Bai Yan.

The two walked through a long corridor, came out of the building, and then crossed the sky to another floating island.

Throughout the journey, she constantly felt eyes on her.

Fear, disgust, hatred... and so on.

At that time, I could only watch helplessly as scene after scene unfolded, including some scenes at the Destiny headquarters that I still remember vividly.

Kiana didn't respond to these gazes, simply hiding herself behind Bai Yan.

But as more eyes turned to her, she discovered that they also contained feelings of jealousy.

Having become a person again, Kiana's senses and consciousness became sharp again; for the first time, she began to consider the existence of the boy in front of her.

However, after searching the brain, no other information was found besides "her brother".

"Could it be that she has some similarities to my stinky old man?"

Siegfried has always had a bad reputation, especially since he even taught Kiana how to manipulate men back in Siberia...

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and she even snorted coldly in her heart.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at the archives of the Destiny headquarters.

Bai Yan didn't even glance at the index above and went straight to the smallest room inside.

After granting him permission, he turned and gestured for Kiana to come inside.

"here it is?"

She walked in, looked around, and found something strange about the place.

Unlike the other rooms in Destiny, this room was filled with various paper documents and had very few electronic devices.

Following his memory, Bai Yan pulled out a folder that was completely full.

The paper inside was almost overflowing. After taking it out, he straightened it out to prevent the contents from leaking out.

He then unfolded it and showed it to Kiana.

She bent down and leaned closer to examine it carefully.

After a while.

"Ugh! Ugh..."

Kiana gagged violently, her heart reeling from the shock.

Bai Yan gently patted her back, but he was a little stunned because he could clearly feel the bony texture in his hand as he patted her.

It took Kiana a long time to recover.

Thanks to not eating anything, she didn't vomit anything.

The girl looked somber as she pointed to the folder.

"These Valkyries..."

"The bodies can still be found, but some of them were in even worse condition, with no intact body tissue found after the war."

Kiana felt nauseous again and then dry heaved, but this time it was slightly better.

She was not unaware that the war between humanity and the Honkai would result in death, but she never imagined that the cost of war would be seen from this perspective after the war.

"Human beings have come from ancient times, and disasters have never stopped; but I have heard that the Honkai existed even in the last era, and even directly ended the previous civilization era."

"What kind of feeling did it take for the powerful beings of that era to be unable to defeat the Honkai in that era, to be able to watch civilization weep helplessly while they were powerless to do anything about it?"

"I can feel the despair of death and failure coming at the same time, even if I only put myself in that situation for a short while."

"Comparatively speaking, it would be much better to just hold onto the victory."

Kiana's heart stirred, and she seemed to understand what Bai Yan wanted to say to her.

“I heard you weren’t a combatant before.”

"Yes, I used to be not only weak, but also very timid."

Looking at the countless documents, Bai Yan's emotions rose and he became somewhat agitated.

After all, he personally handled and recorded many of the funeral arrangements.

"When a person becomes a warrior, he has already begun to teeter on the edge of death."

"But the purpose of a warrior's existence is to destroy your enemy, not to die."

Kiana quietly looked at the notes in her hand and listened carefully to Bai Yan's words.

"Death is a consequence, and should be neither a cost nor an end."

"I just knew that this day might come, so I was mentally prepared, that's all."

Bai Yan stopped talking and quietly looked at the documents.

Much later, Kiana finally looked away from those records.

"Thank you, Bai Yan..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the cries of uncontrollable hunger filled the cramped room.

Kiana blushed slightly and said somewhat shyly, "As expected, the training just now was quite effective."

Then, as if remembering something, her expression darkened, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Um, how is my friend Raiden Mei?"

"Just to be on the safe side, she is currently under full surveillance, but don't worry, no one can touch her."

"That's it."

"Want to see her?"

"No, no, no," Kiana quickly refused, but then felt that this was not quite right, so she changed her mind, "I can't see her right now."

Bai Yan pondered for a moment, a fleeting smile playing on his lips: "What's wrong with you guys?"

"Well, it's nothing, it's just not the right time yet."

"Alright then, it's already 3 p.m., let's go get something to eat together."

"Okay, I'm sorry, I made you miss lunch too."

"It's nothing. We often have irregular meal times, and sometimes we even grab a compressed biscuit during our breaks to make do with a meal."

Bai Yan tidied up the documents, put them back in their original places, and left with Kiana.

"You guys have worked really hard too."

"What does hardship matter? When I realized that I could work 24 hours a day without the risk of death or injury, and that it was all for the sake of humanity, I began to believe that there are good things in this world that come without a price."

"Uh, haha..."

During the conversation, Kiana's condition improved slightly.

Bai Yan led her to the restaurant at the headquarters of Destiny. There was no one there at this time, but the service continued.

Kiana can eat now, but her appetite hasn't returned to normal, and she doesn't order much food.

Like feeding a cat.

It's good enough to get started, but...

Bai Yan glanced over discreetly and noticed that although Kiana was eating, her expression was as if she were chewing wax.

Something moved in his heart.

Could it be that she has lost her sense of taste?

We need to think of a way to help Kiana recover quickly, otherwise he won't be able to sleep for a while.

Trying to amuse her with clumsy women's clothing? That will only make her more miserable.

How about a perfect replica of the women's clothing, then hypnotize Kiana and have Bai Yan send her a midnight dream?

Forget it, if we get caught, the plan will be completely ruined.

Or maybe we could sell the silly goose and give her a sister to cheer her up?

Not good. Otto being stabbed to death too early is not conducive to defeating the Honkai.

Bai Yan gritted his teeth, anger rising in his heart and malice taking hold. He got up and ordered another whole braised pork knuckle!

Began to eat!

Actions speak louder than words; they are what truly matter.

So, under Kiana's somewhat stunned gaze, Bai Yan nonchalantly grabbed a large pork knuckle and started gnawing on it.

They were eating it while drinking soda.

The intertwining of sugar and fat stimulates humanity's most primal senses.

One bite after another—that's the ultimate indulgence in food.

His movements were small, and he didn't even have any sauce on his mouth, but he moved quickly and was not rude at all, making it hard to look away.

The way they were enjoying it so much made it seem like the food in their hands was a delicacy.

Kiana watched his movements and involuntarily opened her mouth as well, biting into the air and knocking her chopsticks.

After watching Bai Yan's live performance for a while, she quietly went to order some more meat.

Seeing this, Bai Yan felt that his sacrifice had not been in vain, so he ate even more enthusiastically.

"Bai Yan, are you very hungry today?"

The sound made him choke.

"Waaaaah, cool, cough cough cough..."

He finally recovered and quickly looked up to see Durandal walking over with a strange expression, carrying a tray, and then sitting down opposite Kiana, one seat away from her.

Bai Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

Before she could say anything, Kiana had already returned, glanced at the blonde Valkyrie, and naturally sat back down in her original spot.

"You guys, are you eating here at this hour?" Durandal asked.

Bai Yan suddenly remembered something.

Durandal is very disciplined, even regarding mealtimes, and always insists on not eating after 6 pm.

So what's the deal with eating at 3 PM?

I glanced at the food on her plate and saw that it was just some salad and a bottle of juice.

Bai Yan's expression became subtle.

Seeing this, Durandal said somewhat guiltily, "I forgot to eat during training at noon."

Then he asked, "So Bai Yan, what's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly eat so much?"

Kiana, who was standing to the side, was taken aback when she heard this, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"When you're in a good mood, eat something refreshing."

"Refreshing?" Durandal stared at him and repeated.

"It really is delicious, try it yourself if you don't believe me."
