With a roar that shook the sky and the earth, the bodies of the living dead were also torn apart at the same time, turning into inactive silicified crystal dust, which was dissipated in the air along with the icy biting cold wind.

When he woke up, his consciousness had returned to the real world. He was now in an armored vehicle, which seemed to be a New Arcadia armored vehicle. The internal structure was very similar to what he remembered.

When he came back from the illusion, it was Aiden who was looking after him, and Miss Jingliu who accompanied the two of them. It seemed that they had rescued him.

"Are you awake? Rin-kun?"

"I am..."

"Fortunately, you're okay. I believe you can wake up."

Miss Jingliu sat in front of her. She said something to Aiden before she woke up, but she fainted at the time and didn't know what they talked about. Aiden walked up,

He injected Rin with a sedative with a syringe. Rin instantly felt his head buzzing, and his mind seemed to be much more stable.

When he woke up, Jingliu just said to him:

"This is the last time, Rin-kun. The next time we meet, I will kill you without mercy."

When Jingliu said this, her voice was cold, and she didn't feel much fluctuation in her voice.

It turned out that after Rin was possessed by the Overlord, the medicine Aiden used to inject him with the crow failed to take effect. Immediately afterwards, Rin lost control and injured everyone, including Bronya, and then passed out.

.

Upon seeing this, Ms. Charlene took Bronya and the others back to the Hela, but did not take back the unconscious Rin. Only Jingliu and Aiden stayed where they were, waiting for Rin's mood to stabilize.

He took him into the armored vehicle. After Jingliu recovered Rin, he asked Aiden to send a message to Tianming, saying that Rin's condition had stabilized for the time being, and that he would not be controlled by the Overlord's consciousness after confirming that he would no longer be controlled.

, can he be released back to his destiny.

"Thank you, Miss Jingliu." Rin thanked Miss Jingliu for the help.

Although Rin thanked Jingliu, Jingliu did not respond to him. Jingliu just looked at Rin on the transport stretcher with an extremely indifferent expression through the New Arcadia's blindfold communicator.

She knew that Rin was no longer someone she trusted. When Jingliu trusted him, he took advantage of her trust and betrayed her.

It is impossible for them to happily chat and work together like before.

After sending Rin to the Arc Star Church's territory, Jingliu let the armored vehicle carry him away, while Aiden carried the weak Rin to the Arc Star Church's church and asked Sister Apricot to take care of him.

"Mr. Aiden, put him down. Bronya has contacted me and will bring someone over to pick him up later... He hasn't eaten yet. Sister Mo Manley, go give him the leftovers tonight.

Bring it here."

"Well, okay, Sister Xing."

After Xing placed Rin on the front bench in the church, she asked Aiden what his next plan was. As a member of the "North Star Alliance" in New Arcadia, it was impossible for him to choose to return to Destiny with Rin.

"My work is done, now I'm going to go somewhere else."

"If you want to go back to New Arcadia, then you have to explain tonight that here, on our territory... New Arcadia is not allowed to exist."

"I said that I used to do things for them, but not anymore, so I will still act according to my own wishes."

"That's good."

Originally, Xing wanted to wait for Aiden to finish speaking and then pull out a weapon and attack him. However, now that Aiden had made his position clear, he didn't pay too much attention to it and let him go. He seemed a little tired after looking after him and entered.

Rin, who had fallen asleep, showed an extremely ugly expression while holding his head on his hands and staring at Rin's face. He also thought about why Bronya wanted to recruit such a young man as her team member.

"This young man is quite handsome. Could it be that Sister Bronya likes Shota? I didn't expect... time can really change a person's preferences."

Later, Rin woke up. After eating the chickpea paste and bread that Mo Manglai brought, she regained a little strength, and then she had the strength to speak.

"Brother Lin, are you feeling better? Mo Manglai thought... thought... wuwuwuwu."

Seeing Momanglai start crying, Lin quickly put her hand on Momanglai's head and stroked it gently to express that she was fine.

"It's okay, I'm destined to die."

"So, your name is Rin, right? How did you meet that guy Bronya? Logically speaking... shouldn't Destiny give priority to recruiting the 'Valkyrie'?"

Xing tried to ask Rin the reason why she came to Tianming, and Rin also directly told her how she came to Tianming and how she became an agent of Ashes.

After listening to what Rin said, Xingya said angrily:

"It seems that Tianming is still the same as before. He likes to be a kidnapper and kidnap young people like you to do hard labor with them."

"That's not the case, Miss Xing. Although it was a helpless move at the time, now I have a reason to stay in Tianming."

"Tch, those are all lies. Let me tell you first. Before Tianming became an 'international peacekeeping organization', it did a lot of shameful things. It's not as clean as you think, kid."

"Miss Xing used to be a member of an organization called 'Anti-Entropy,' right?" Rin seemed to have thought of something. "Why did you come to Arc Star Church to become a nun?"

Hearing this question, Xingben explained to Rin why he stayed in Arc Star Church:

"I didn't want to come in the first place, just for some special reasons. After all, 'anti-entropy' no longer exists... Ever since the 'Era Collapse', I never thought that the Great Collapse could happen again."

"Besides, until now I am still a wanted criminal in Destiny. Although Bronya and Xi'er are both in Destiny, I don't want to cause any trouble to them."

Hearing the word "wanted criminal", Rin quickly asked her:

"Why? Wanted? Did Miss Xing commit something?"

"You don't need to know, it's not a good thing anyway... After the 'Era Collapse' happened, those guys started to find out about those things, and they started to come to settle accounts with me."

She showed her shark-like teeth and said these words disdainfully, as if she was very dissatisfied with Tianming's actions, so she had some opinions.

"So, young guys like you, don't believe in such nonsense as 'for justice' and 'for the future of mankind'. These things are used to brainwash employees."

After hearing this, Rin said: "I haven't been brainwashed much..."

"Actually, Bronya and I, as well as Seele, we are all people who came from before the Honkai Era, and we still have some memories of what happened at that time."

She began to show a calm expression and slowly told about how she, Bronya, and Xier grew up in the Cocolia Orphanage.

At that time, Cocolia was still a good person in their eyes, and all three of them called her "mom". However, after an incident, Bronya completely saw through Cocolia and hid in the charity organization.

Behind the founder, there is actually an unjust man who collects orphans and conducts cruel human experiments.

Bronya once wanted to escape with Xi'er, but she failed. After being captured by Cocolia, she cruelly conducted human experiments, causing Xi'er to become comatose. Xing thought it was Bu

It was Lonya who did it, so when Bronya was going down the stairs, she pushed her maliciously from behind, causing her to fall down the stairs, which caused Bronya to have some disability in her legs before.

He himself also gained supernormal strength under Cocolia's experiment. Now he can only maintain this half-mad and half-awake state, losing control from time to time. He can only keep himself awake through daily prayers.

She only remembered so much, and other things had been selectively forgotten by her over the years.

"Miss Xing, it's still not easy for you. The captain and the captain of the fifth team are doing well now, so don't worry too much."

"Of course I know! Boy! Who the hell would worry about these two heart-wrenching guys... Although I have done something wrong in the past, what is it! Do they still regard me as a sister?!"

Xing's sudden anger made Rin quickly take a few steps back, showing a strange "Eh-huh" expression.

"What about that, Miss Xing? Did you remember something? Why are you so angry..."

In front of Rin, Xing continued to explode, and roared out her dissatisfaction with Seele and Bronya:

"Who cares? Who cares? It's none of my business! Who of those two heartless people have called me over the years? Until Bronya saw me, she said

Aside from making sarcastic remarks...when did she come to me on her own initiative?!"

Xing seemed very angry with Bronya's attitude, especially when she first met her, she didn't even say "I miss you very much".

"No, Miss Xing, I think you misunderstood. I know the captain. She often keeps things deep in her heart and even mentions your matters to me a little bit."

"Really? Bronya really told you about me?"

"Really, she said you were missing and she looked for you for a while, but she didn't find you so she gave up..."

"Never give up!!"

Although Rin said it to comfort Xing, Xing also took it seriously. Unlike Bronya who could tell her lies, Xing didn't seem to think that Rin was lying, but was telling the truth. She grabbed Rin's hand.

neck, and then stared at his face, as if staring at Bronya herself.

"Do you know how sad I am during this time? I have always regarded them as my closest relatives. We have fought before, but now you don't miss me at all? Can you understand?"

"What does this have to do with me? Hey! If you want to complain, go find them!!"

At this moment, the door of the church opened, and two Valkyries walked in. They were Captain Bronya and Captain Seele whom Rin was familiar with.

The two people walked in almost at the same time. When they walked in, Xing grabbed Rin's neck and yelled at him, which shocked the melon-eaters Mo Manglai at the side.

"Sister Bronya! And... uh, who is it?"

When Xi'er saw Momanglai, she waved to her slightly to say hello to the little nun Momanglai whom she met for the first time.

"You two are here to pick me up." Xing quickly let go of Rin, then pretended that nothing was wrong and moved her hands to the side, crossing her legs.

"Sister Xing... Xing, long time no see. After so many years, you actually became a nun in Arc Star Church."

When Xi'er recognized Xing, she walked up directly, took Xing's hand, and excitedly asked her how she was doing recently.

"Xing has become much more mature now. Long time no see. How are you?"

"Hey, Xi'er, do you care about me so much? Unlike some dull guy, as expected, Xi'er is gentle and considerate."

Xi'er and Xing turned their heads and looked at Bronya with a "contemptuous" expression. Bronya also had a dull expression, which seemed to be deliberately done to Bronya.

"That's great, Xi'er! I thought you didn't care about me and didn't want me anymore, just like someone else, wuwuwuwu..."

"Okay, Sister Xing, don't be like this...snot! Snot!!"

Rin on the side looked at Xing with a rather disdainful expression. When Xie'er noticed that Rin was staring at her, she turned her head away in embarrassment. After Xing finished rubbing Xing'er, Bronya

He handed Xier a handkerchief and asked her to wipe the snot from Xing's body just now. Then he said goodbye to Xing.

"Then let's go, Xing."
