"That's right. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain the young lady's fighting ability, and it would probably attract more attention from Anti-Entropy. Don't add more risks to yourself." "Just act as it happens. As long as they don't want our bodies or want to take us for autopsy... as long as it's not something that might expose my identity as a Herrscher, then we might as well play with it and see what kind of moth it is this time." In just a few seconds, dozens of thinking loops completed a brain storm at the same time, and the decision was given to the eldest lady Anqi in reality. Then, Miss Anqi sat up from the sofa, stepped on the soft plush carpet with her white and soft bare feet, lifted her skirt, bent her knees, and saluted gracefully like a royal noble, then smiled and said: "An unknown guest has come to visit you late at night. How can I help you?" "Crack! Crack!" Titan was speechless, but raised a mechanical arm that was so heavy and strong that it seemed like it could crush Angel into a meat pie in one go. Then his fingers retracted and deformed, and a black-gold cannon barrel with a caliber far larger than a human head protruded, and purple-red energy quickly condensed at the muzzle. "!" Angel's skirt-lifting and smiling posture remained unchanged, but her pupils shrank slightly. If they die, they will leave behind their core, thus directly exposing their identity as a Herrscher.
Therefore, if they really came to kill her, she would have to dismantle this Titan, eliminate as many people as possible who were involved, and completely cover up everything about the eldest lady, sinking completely into darkness once again. "Please think about it again. I think it is still worth seeing." Angel lowered her head in a gesture of submission, which more clearly revealed the sexy and graceful curves of her collarbone and neck, just like a harmless and beautiful white swan. "Crack, click, click!" Then, the sound of mechanical deformation rang out again. Angel looked up, only to see the giant mecha lower its arms, slowly disappearing from its limbs, and finally disappearing from her sight. Instead, an electric wheelchair slowly approached her, with an old man with sparse hair sitting on it, looking very dying. There were many tubes inserted into the old man's body and arms, connected to the high-tech wheelchair, as if he was relying on this device to maintain his life. An Qi had already devoured the remaining memories of the eldest lady's body, so she naturally recognized the identity of the old man. "Hello, dear father." Angie lifted her skirt again and knelt down, speaking respectfully. The old man took off the oxygen mask on his face, exhaled lightly, stared at An Qi, and said slowly in an old and weak voice: "You are dignified, elegant, and fearless in the face of danger. You can still calmly fight for your life in an unknown crisis... You are very good!" "It's all thanks to my father's good teaching, and it's inseparable from your love and cultivation." "Haha! The person I was optimistic about at the beginning was actually your eldest brother. He has the skills and scheming to create a broad and honest man. Now it seems that you are the one who hides the most. You are like a poisonous snake. Before the time of hunting, even I can't see the flaws." The old man looked tired and seemed a little sad. An Qi smiled but rolled her eyes in her heart. Of course he couldn't see the flaw, because the eldest daughter before was really ambitious but stupid and naive. It was not until she died that she realized the huge gap between herself and her two brothers. If Angie hadn't put on the disguise of a young lady in the middle of the game, the winner now would definitely be the eldest brother that the old man had chosen, right? "But after you eliminated your eldest and second brothers, you immediately turned your fangs on me. Should I say you were too hasty or too courageous?"
"Oh my! Father, you misunderstood me. How dare I be disrespectful to you? I guess it was my two brothers who were naughty. You can't wrongly accuse me, a filial and well-behaved person!" "Why are you in such a hurry? If you get rid of your two brothers, aren't you the only candidate?" "Father, I have said all that..." "Tell me the truth!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, the outline of the Titan mecha reappeared behind him vaguely. An Qi's smile faded, her innocent expression gradually turned cold, and she said: "Father, you have a more traditional mindset. I have never been sure of your attitude towards your daughter inheriting the family business. Besides, who knows if you have hidden a few blood brothers for me? You must be decisive in doing things. Any hesitation may lead to failure... Father, this is what you taught us, and I, your daughter, agree with you." "Humph!" The old man snorted disdainfully. Then, he looked at the icy beauty An Qi and sighed: "Although it is disrespectful, this ruthlessness and courage is indeed very similar to me... You can rest assured that I really don't have much time left. Even anti-entropy technology can't continue my life, and I can't train a successor who can be compared with you." "Thank you, father, for your recognition." An Qi took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and slowly bent down, using the traditional etiquette of this country to express her excitement and joy. This approach obviously helped the old man a lot, so before Anqi could ask a question, he explained to himself: "This world is far from as simple as you think. There are technologies and weapons far beyond those of nations, extraordinary powers that can destroy troops by a single person, and terrifying monsters that breed in the darkness... Come with me, and you will understand the reality of the world and the true foundation of our Tachibana family. You are already qualified." "Yes! Father!" Anqi walked quickly to the old man's side, even attentively holding the wheelchair that didn't need to be pushed at all, and followed the old man into the depths of the villa manor. Chapter 18 That’s it? The eldest daughter, Angie, witnessed the so-called foundation of the Tachibana family and sent the old man away with a look of emotion and awe. Afterwards, Miss Anqi's expression suddenly became dull, with a hint of disappointment that she had no hope in life. At the same time, the angels in the theater sat opposite each other, all in silence. "That's it? The old man has been holding it in for a long time, and that's it?" "He's just a supplier of anti-entropy components. I thought he was an executor!" "Wow! I was shocked. Is this what happened?" From the perspective of ordinary people, everything related to the Collapse is mysterious and extremely dangerous, and Destiny and Anti-Entropy are even more huge things that can change the world situation at any minute - so, from the perspective of ordinary people, being able to get in touch with Anti-Entropy seems to be a very awesome thing. But to Angel and the others, this insignificant truth could not make up for their heart-stopping moments when they saw the Titans coming to their doorstep! "I really don't know if this is considered a mistake or a bad luck. I thought she was just an ordinary lady who had nothing to do with the collapse!" "Well, as the heir to the family business, we are now directly in the field of anti-entropy. Although they won't pay too much attention to us, my plans to travel around the world will definitely be a waste of time!"
"Not necessarily. We can still do it by coming up with some excuse, such as inspecting the branch offices." "Besides, it is not necessary for Miss to deploy clones all over the world, right? With the wealth and resources we have now, it is enough to send the clones away easily. As long as the design is more rigorous, there should be no problem...right?" The Angels were a little uncertain. After all, encountering a young lady's cold corpse on the road can indirectly connect her to Anti-Entropy. As for my own life, I have made up my mind. After a long discussion, Angel and the others decided to continue sending out clones and push forward the plan to create a resurrection archive. After that, they continued to study theory and physical education. …… At St. Freya Academy, Angel woke up after a night of sleep. Then I saw my arms were fixed and hung in the air, tied with a wooden board and thick bandages. "Are you awake? Are you still in pain? Drink some water first, and Bronya will go get the doctor." Bronya walked out of the ward with her twin ponytails bobbing in circles. The metal exoskeleton supporting her lower limbs collided with the ground, making a heavy, solid metallic sound. An Qi smoothed her hair, synchronized the information of her clone and the eldest lady in the theater during her coma, then sat up with the support of her movable left hand, drank some water, and waited quietly for the doctor to arrive. "The bad news is that a lot of the arm muscles are torn, and the bones also have traces of shattering due to the explosion of Houbai energy. The good news is that your physique is quite good, and the adaptability of Houbai energy is very high, so the surgery and medicine are very effective, and the recovery speed will be relatively fast." "Come back for a checkup one week after discharge. If nothing unexpected happens, the bandage can be removed after a month, and you should be fully recovered after two months." The doctor announced the result with a smile and rubbed Anqi's little head. Angie said nothing. However, Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Himeko, who heard the news, surrounded the doctor and thanked him one after another, unable to hide their excitement and gratitude. After politely seeing the doctor off, Ji Zi closed the door, strode towards An Qi, rolled up her sleeves, and knocked her down rudely with a knife. "pain……" "You still feel pain? I heard it all from Fu Hua! You are so capable, aren't you? You just learned the basic fighting skills, and you started to develop your own Houhan moves, and you are so confident that you want to use them in a duel? You haven't even learned to walk yet, but you want to fly, right? Who gave you the courage, you little brat!" The more Ji Zi spoke, the angrier she became. She hit An Qi on the head with her knife a few more times and continued in a domineering tone: "Do you know that developing your own fighting style is something that only experienced A-rank Valkyries are qualified to consider? You are just a kid who has just been in school for a week. You are just kidding!" "pain……" "You deserve the pain!" Ji Zi slapped An Qi's head hard. The next second, she hugged Angie tightly in her arms again, stroking her head. Her high-spirited voice softened instantly, filled with deep worry. "You nearly frightened me, little Angie." Ji Zi sighed tiredly, and there was a faint dark blue color around her eyes after a sleepless night.
It can be said that Angie was brought into the academy by her own hands, and she is deeply dependent on her. In Jizi's view, Angie has long been a junior by her side, and she has the obligation and responsibility to take care of her. When Ji Zi heard that An Qi had an accident in the duel, and that blood had spurted out across a large area of the ground, she was almost frightened to the point of having a heart attack. Now that Angie has woken up and the result is much better than expected, Ji Zi is both happy and angry, just like seeing her own child rolling in the mud and coming back home all covered in dirt... No, she is ten times angrier than this. In short, it's probably the kind of feeling where you want to hit him but feel bad, but if you don't hit him you're so angry that your liver aches. "How do you feel now? Are you hungry? We brought breakfast here, eat something first." Jiko waved her hand, motioning for Raiden Mei to spread out the food box on the table next to her. The aroma of food soon filled the air, dispelling the pervasive smell of disinfectant. Ji Zi glanced at An Qi's pitiful and obedient appearance as she lowered her head to be scolded, then looked at her right hand still hanging in the air, sighed again, and picked up the knife and fork helplessly. Jizi: "Hey, open your mouth, ah~" An Qi: “Ah~~” Jizi: "Really? Aren't we back to the beginning? Since you starved and fainted, I didn't expect that I would have to feed you so soon, and I guess I will have to feed you for several days. I say, you should be grateful, because even my father didn't have this kind of treatment! Open your mouth, ah~" An Qi: “Ah~~” Ji Zi: "You are still cute only at times like this. Don't attend the practical class during these days of recuperation, and forget those random moves of yours. If you really want to learn something in-depth, I will help you find a way when you perform well enough. Do you understand? If you understand, open your mouth, ah~" An Qi: “Ah~~” The morning light also shone in from the window at this time. The dust in the ward slowly flew away under the light, making people feel calm and at ease. Kiana, Mei Raiden, and Bronya stared at the scene of Himeko feeding Angie. The mature and beautiful red-haired woman and the well-behaved and cute little girl, this scene made them feel sincerely envious. On the one hand, Ji Zi had never taken such gentle and intimate care of them before; on the other hand, with such a sharp contrast in the picture, it was hard not to imagine a mother and her child. But the memories of their mother are far from perfect. "very nice." Kiana whispered to herself, then took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to cry for some unknown reason. "Let's go out and get Angie discharged from the hospital first. Keep your voice down and don't disturb them." Raiden Mei put her finger on her lips and whispered to the two of them. The two nodded at the same time and left the ward, leaving the space to An Qi and Ji Zi, who they thought was the person An Qi trusted and relied on the most. Chapter 19: Very Good Anqi After being discharged from the hospital and returning home, Anqi, who had her right hand in a sling, received Ji Zi's meticulous care. Although An Qi knew that this injury was purely the result of her wanting to show off her talent, because she knew she would not die, she subconsciously had fewer concerns and stepped into the place where she would die. But in Ji Zi's view, this was her failure as a leader. She failed to make An Qi realize the danger of Honkai energy and was incompetent in guiding and educating her. The next morning, Jizi patiently fed Angie, tidied her skirt, changed her into white shoes, and took her to the principal's office. After going out, An Qi grabbed the corner of Ji Zi's clothes with her intact left hand. The more she thought about Ji Zi's thoughtful care, the more guilty and remorseful she felt.
"Jizi QQ..." An Qi raised her head from behind and looked at Himeko's long, silky wine-red hair with tears in her eyes. Hearing the voice, Ji Zi looked back, then couldn't help but patted An Qi's head with a smile. "What are you doing?" It was the first time that Ji Zi saw An Qi's tearful face, and she also felt An Qi's remorse. Her heart softened immediately, and she felt so relieved that the fatigue from not getting enough sleep in the past two days was nothing.
