Chapter 256 Rescue
"...Hello, Alicia?"
When Li arrived at the area she was responsible for, before she even started investigating, she received a call from Alicia. However, after she answered the call, there was only a burst of noise, as if she had been disturbed by something.
"Dai..."
Hang up.
Li could only barely hear one word clearly.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Li tapped the communicator and asked, "How is the situation over there with Destobia?"
"Mr. Li, I'm just trying to contact you. Miss Destobia and the Sixth Team that are traveling with her. The eighth great collapse has occurred in the area they are responsible for, and they are using this as the source. Spreading out at an extremely fast speed, according to Dr. Mei’s instructions, all fusion warriors must rush there quickly.”
The operator reported the situation to Li, and this also confirmed that Li's guess was correct, there was indeed a situation on Destobia's side.
"I'll be there right away."
Li glanced at the crowds of people coming and going around him. Where there was no collapse, people could not imagine what kind of dire straits the outside world was in.
Li's figure disappeared, but the next moment, the crowd who were normally following the rules of life suddenly stopped together, and at the same time turned their heads to look in the direction Li was going. A strange color flashed in their eyes, and then they looked like scrapped dolls. Usually all fell to the ground.
This area has long been infiltrated by the Eighth Herrscher.
……
"It seems that there are two Eighth Herrschers?"
Kevin received Mei's subpoena, but the news from the other side made Kevin stunned for a moment, and he was almost successfully attacked by a Honkai Beast behind him.
He was the first person to come to support Destobia, but when he arrived at the scene, except for the endless death warriors and Honkai Beasts, he could not see any human figure.
On the bright side, Destobia and the others successfully evacuated, but they encountered some trouble and were unable to contact the others in time.
But if you think about the worst... No, I haven't seen the body yet, so I can't make a conclusion.
"Well, the idea of the Eighth Herrscher not only appeared on Destobia's side, but also launched an attack on Alicia at the same time. Although this is not enough to prove the existence of two Eighth Herrschers, it can explain This time the Herrscher has at least two main thoughts." Mei analyzed, "After all, the thoughts created by him cannot use the power of the Herrscher."
"...What about Destobia and the other members of Team 6? Where are their positions now?"
Kevin jumped on an icicle he made, barely out of the attack range of the densely packed Honkai beasts below. The main task he assigned to himself now was to rescue Destobia and the others, and he didn't want to fight with these Things that are not afraid of death are more entangled.
"The locator shows that Destobia is moving to the west at a very fast speed and is about to leave the central area where the collapse occurred... Wait, she has returned?"
Mei on the other end of the communicator turned to look at Aponya beside her, and saw her shaking her head. Apparently Destobia's [Commandment] had not been broken, which ruled out that Destobia had been killed by the eighth The possibility of Herrscher control.
"Kevin, just go to the left. Destobia is in your direction."
"it is good."
Kevin suddenly stepped on the icicle under his feet, and he jumped up directly to a tall building. The broken icicle fell into the herd of beasts, and a burst of extremely cold energy suddenly burst out, a large amount of The brand new icicles suddenly bloomed radioactively, giving almost all the gathered Honkai beasts a chill.
After leaving this small gift for a while, Kevin quickly moved in the direction indicated by Mei, using countless tall buildings as a stepping stone.
Destobia, the girl who celebrated his birthday not long ago, if possible, Kevin did not want anything unexpected to happen to her.
……
"Hen, leave this to me, and you go find Destobia!"
Facing the large number of beasts in front of him, Kosmo, who was concerned about Destobia's safety, didn't care about anything else and just wanted to confirm Destobia's situation quickly.
Being in the center of the Eighth Collapse, and still being hunted by the Eighth Herrscher for whatever reason, Kosma was genuinely afraid that if they arrived later, he would never see the girl again.
Putting the harmonica in his pocket deeper into his clothes, Kosmo immediately made the decision to let Hen leave first. His tone was anxious and quick, and he even called Hen by his name. He didn't show any signs of social fear at all. .
"...Okay, I will notify you directly if I find Destobia and the others."
Hen understood the anxiety in Kosmo's heart, so he didn't say much, and left directly under the cover of Kosmo. Anyway, as long as the Eighth Herrscher didn't take action himself, this Honkai Beast could not threaten this already different person. juvenile.
And watching Hen go away, Kosmo focused all his attention on the matter in front of him.
"I will kill you..."
His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and even Kosmo himself didn't realize that he had fallen into a partially crazy state.
……
"Are you leaving?"
Alicia looked around. She was surrounded by girls in white dresses who were sealed in crystals, and everyone was in a coma. It seemed that the consciousness did not stay here. Maybe she really couldn't do anything about it. , I have to retreat temporarily, or there are other more important things to do.
But in any case, this crisis was over. Without being able to kill the other party, Alicia was really delayed by these girls for a long time.
Fortunately, the final result is still very good. At least these innocent girls survived, but...
Alicia looked wordlessly at the first girl possessed by that consciousness. She was also sealed in the crystal, but unlike the other girls, she had a big hole in her heart. , that is the trace left by his own arrow.
If she could have discovered it earlier, maybe she wouldn't have to die, right?
Alicia's eyes were lowered, and self-blame filled her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
No, now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself. There are more people who need to be saved.
Destobia...
"Ugh……"
Alicia sighed and touched the crystal where a girl was imprisoned with one hand, "I'm going to leave now and I'll free you next time. Now you just stay here for a while~"
Alicia left, but she did not see that all the girls she imprisoned in the crystal had blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.
Alicia did not succeed in saving them. Under the control of that consciousness, all the girls had already bitten their tongues and committed suicide.
