Chapter 1028 Prank
Highgate Cemetery was deserted and, as the night wore on, took on a more netherworldly feel.
Fortunately, although Walter was abandoned by Tesla, he met another living person, a Valkyrie.
She has blonde hair, blue eyes, Roman curls, a white dress, and a black hat. She calls herself Rhianna Brigantia, a Valkyrie directly under the European headquarters of Schicksal. The Sixth Key of God, the Key of Creation "Black Abyss White Flower" is in her hands.
This powerful Valkyrie came here today not to cause trouble for Walter, but simply to visit his grave.
The person being visited is named Martha, a Valkyrie who died in the Berlin Honkai Incident but was not buried in the Invalides Cemetery. In the process of destroying the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, the "Night Moth" team she led was almost wiped out. As the only survivor, Martha was under tremendous mental pressure.
Although the Destiny Organization arranged for her to be transferred away from the front line for treatment in time, she eventually chose to commit suicide in her own home.
However, because it was a non-combat suicide, according to military discipline, she could not be buried in the Veterans Cemetery.
Walter learned about this from Leanna, and the words in his mouth were suddenly stuck.
Because the cause of the Berlin Honkai Incident was his "birth", and since then, he was taken away by destiny and lived a dark laboratory life.
Leanna did not blame Walter for his behavior, instead, she comforted him and told him not to feel too guilty. And when she learned that Walter came to the cemetery to feed the cats, Leanna joined him in his actions.
As night fell, stars appeared in the sky one by one, and the cat food bag in his hand gradually became lighter. Along the way, the cats seemed very satisfied, but Walter felt heavy in his heart because of Martha's Valkyrie story, as if something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't let it go.
"Is this the last feeding point?"
Rhianna's voice brought him back to his senses.
"Ah."
"……Feel sorry."
Seeing that Walter was in a low mood, Leanna actually apologized.
"..."
"Martha's matter... This is not a sorrow you should have to bear."
"But Miss Leanna must be feeling very bad herself, right? Isn't there a saying that goes like this - 'Joy shared is twice the joy; sorrow shared is half the sorrow.'" Walter said in a low voice.
"...?"
"Ahaha...are you...trying to be a little bit cool?" After waiting for a long time without any response from Leanna, Walter said awkwardly.
"...!"
"Um, is it inappropriate for me to force a joke like this?"
“…Stop talking nonsense!”
Before she knew it, Leanna covered Walter's mouth and dragged him into the bushes! In a direction he had not noticed before, a mysterious floating object appeared out of thin air in the night!
"what is this?"
"..."
Leanna stared upwards and said nothing.
"Uh...could it be...that, that thing?"
"What's that 'what'... speak more clearly!" Leanna took out the aura of a Valkyrie and glared at him.
“Uh, that is, that…U…U…U…ghost?” Walter’s face turned pale again as he spoke.
"...Tsk, don't say such unlucky words! The real 'ghosts' in this world are much more troublesome than those in urban legends!"
"Eh? Are there really ghosts?"
"…Metaphorically. Also, stop yelling. On the battlefield, that could get you killed!"
Leanna pulled Walter over and took him to avoid the sight of the "ghost", and also found a secret observation point.
"…It's circling here and won't move! And it's muttering to itself?!" Walter hid behind a rock, listening to the sounds made by the "ghost" above, as if he heard the whispers of Cthulhu.
"... Humph, that floating thing... don't you think it looks like a bed sheet?" Leanna had sharp eyes and could see it clearly even in the dark.
"Bed, sheets? But it has no legs?"
"Who knows? Maybe someone used balloons to play a prank? And the thing it kept repeating... I always felt like... I've heard it somewhere before?"
Leanna picked up a stone from the bushes. Ping! The stone hit the "ghost" with a crisp sound, as if it hit a silhouetted rock, and rolled back into the bushes.
"...?"
A question mark appeared above Leanna's head.
"What's going on with this weird crashing sound?!" Walter became even more panicked.
“…How should I know?!”
Leanna found that she understood this man less and less. He was obviously a horrible existence that caused such a disaster, but why was he behaving like a coward who could be bullied by anyone?
"Oh no, we've been discovered!"
The operator behind the "Ghost" realized that something was wrong, and immediately controlled the "Ghost" to spray out a stream of air from under its body, and escaped at a rapid speed!
"What is this...?"
Walter was speechless as he watched the "ghost" fly farther and farther away.
"...Tsk."
Leanna took out a device that looked like a miniature walkie-talkie, "V-23 requesting emergency support! If you spot an unidentified flying object, please immediately send weapons to me according to Plan No. 8! The mobile forces are on standby at any time! I repeat, if you spot an unidentified flying object, please immediately send weapons to me according to Plan No. 8! The mobile forces are on standby at any time!"
“!@#$%^&*_+-=\|][}{“:?＞＜`~/! "
At the intersection separating the East and West Cemeteries, Tesla, who looked inexplicably nervous, was talking to a child.
"Tesla! Danger!"
"Get out of the way! Red Hair!"
Walter and Leanna shouted at the same time, and Tesla, who was in a panic, had no time to react, "Red, Red Hair? Who is Red Hair!? Hey, hey, hey...what happened?!"
"Get out of the way if you want to live!"
Towards the "ghost" that was getting closer and closer, Leanna threw the weapon that had just been thrown down to her.
"Aa ...
Tesla and the kid huddled together, screaming. Then there was a loud bang, and the "ghost" in the air was completely pierced by a spear.
"… Plan No. 8 was a perfect success. The UFO has disintegrated. I will bring the Black Abyss White Flower back to you according to the plan. Communication ends."
"..."
"..."
Tesla and the kid both looked frightened.
"Are you two okay?" Leanna asked with concern.
"..."
"You're not injured at all?! This is our latest model of floating robot!! You pay for it!!!!" Tesla's roar seemed to be able to wake up all the souls in the cemetery.
