"Good night~"

"Good night~"

At the headquarters of Destiny, after a meal, the girls who had played for a long time at Cecilia's house returned home, or to be more precise, Theresa and Amethyst's home.

It was very late, and Theresa said good night to Aurora and others who were staying there temporarily, then went into her own room.

The petite girl tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. Finally, she lay flat on her back in a daze, staring at the ceiling with her big eyes, then turned over and picked up the communicator on the bedside table.

Beep beep———

It rang several times, but the person on the other end showed no intention of answering.

Does Jing go to bed so early?

Theresa was confused and a little dissatisfied. After hanging up the phone, she grabbed a pillow and started beating him.

She thought again of how Zijing sent her back without saying a word.

But... will there really be no problem with Jing? After all, it is in the place where the Honkai disaster occurred, and the culprit, the Herrscher, has not been eliminated yet...

The more Theresa thought about it, the harder it was to fall asleep. But as she listened to the ticking of the alarm clock beside her ear, she had to close her eyes and try to let the darkness soothe her emotions.

At the same time, in the large room with a double bed opposite, the four girls had their own concerns. The vague confusion that had been buried in their hearts surfaced again because of the quietness of the night.

Every time when they were about to fall asleep, a man and a woman who they didn’t know but who seemed strangely familiar to them would appear before their eyes.

"I must be sick..."

Bella mumbled and pulled the quilt to cover her head, exposing most of Aurora's body in the same bed, revealing the cute cartoon pajamas she was wearing.

But Aurora didn't care. After all, the temperature in the Destiny Room was no lower than that in Siberia.

She felt annoyed and her eyes involuntarily looked at the two people on the other bed. The quilt was moving around, and it was obvious that they were not asleep either.

Aurora thought of the blond young man who smiled gently at her and the others when they first met in her memory, the Bishop of Destiny, and the owner of the laboratory where they had been imprisoned for the first half of their lives.

Would such a person really be so kind as to take them in for free?

Ta-ta-ta——

Just as Aurora was thinking this, there was a slight knock on the door, and she saw a dark shadow opening the bedroom door at some point, and the sound just now was left by him knocking on the open door.

"elder brother……?"

It was as if a force had unlocked the shackles in her mind, and Aurora couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

……

The Destiny headquarters is not dark under the night sky, but rather appears quite bright due to the numerous lighting facilities.

Since the newly emerged Herrscher has not yet been completely dealt with, the patrols of the mechas and Valkyries on the entire floating island have become more stringent, and almost every corner is under their surveillance.

"Ok?"

A Valkyrie on patrol seemed to sense something and looked back, only to see that her teammate, who was originally following her, suddenly stopped, lowered his head and remained silent.

So she went forward curiously to check, first she called out a few times, then bent down and looked up, and was suddenly stunned, because the other person's black and white eyes were staring at her quietly.

"Hey……"

No words could be uttered after that, because this Valkyrie seemed to be assimilated as well. Her originally brown eyes turned black and white, and she stood up stupidly.

"gone."

"it is good."

Such a scene happened in almost every corner of the Destiny Floating Island, and everything was silent.

The blond man in the bishop's office had not fallen asleep yet. He was just looking at the documents in his hand. There were several photos printed on them. In each photo, there was a giant dragon and two blurry figures sitting on its back.

Where have you gone...

Otto was thinking quietly, when suddenly a screen appeared in front of him.

Looking up, it showed a scene inside a laboratory. Originally, there was only dim light, but perhaps the sensor device was triggered, and all the lights in the laboratory lit up instantly, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime, and also illuminating everything in the laboratory - hundreds of person-sized containers, and in each container, there was a small piece of black crystal emitting a faint light.

Otto narrowed his eyes, and his sight was fixed on the uninvited guest who appeared in the laboratory for an instant. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he felt much better when he looked at the black-haired boy who he had been looking for.

"Discovered."

Looking at the lights that suddenly brightened around him, the black-haired boy was not too panicked. After all, he was just a clone and all he had to do was complete the mission.

The young man looked at the hundreds of containers in front of him. The black crystals of varying sizes inside seemed to resonate faintly with his arrival.

In order to separate the black crystals and prevent them from merging with each other, Tianming took great pains to preserve them.

He produced a black rifle and fired at all the containers, spewing black bullets from the muzzle like a violent storm. Each bullet hit the container accurately, making a dull explosion, glass fragments flying everywhere, and black crystals fell out of the container under the impact, rolling to the ground, and then attracted each other like magnets, moving to one position and merging.

The boy just watched the scene quietly, and a shrill sound came from his ears. The massive damage to the container set off the alarm in the laboratory.

There were footsteps outside, and then a blond man opened the door and walked in slowly. When he saw the black-haired boy, he showed what he thought was a friendly smile on his face and spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm, but he kept walking and continued to approach the boy.

"What an unexpected guest. I was originally thinking about how to invite you to come over, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to my house..."

Otto's sight fell on the black crystals that were constantly merging on the ground, and he had no intention of stopping them, even though the fusion of so many crystals might bring unimaginable disaster to the entire Savior Headquarters.

Since collecting all these black crystals, Otto has studied them day and night, but has not made any surprising discoveries.

In order to go a step further, he even took the risk of fusing countless tiny crystals, and finally gathered the fused crystals together again. Otherwise, just hundreds of containers would not be able to hold all the crystals that Tianming had collected in the past few years.

Otto also thought about what would happen if he fused all the crystals he had collected, but due to the uncertainty and the various affairs of his role as the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, he had to put this dangerous idea aside for the time being.

But now, the young man in front of him actually did what he wanted to do but had not had time to do.

This made Otto feel helpless, but also a little expectant.
