Chapter 155: Making Trouble

"Trample! Trample! Trample!"

The messy and hurried footsteps echoed in the dark alley.

This was a man in a suit who looked like an elite or upper-class man. He was carrying a gun, but he also had a terrified expression. It was as if a monster that no gun could resist was chasing him from behind.

Then the sound of running stopped abruptly, and he stopped, breathing heavily, watching a petite girl slowly land in front of him, her sweaty face trembling uncontrollably.

She was a very cute little girl.

The casual off-white windbreaker and denim shorts, the legs wrapped in white silk were slender and round, like exquisite and fragile works of art.

"Bang!"

But he fired without hesitation.

Nothing happened afterward, no blood splattered, no pitiful scene of the girl falling to the ground and dying.

She just held the sword in one hand, and with the other hand, she stretched out her index finger and thumb, pinching a bullet emitting gunpowder smoke.

"Monster..."

"Thank you."

Angel said and appeared behind the other party as if teleporting, holding the mission target she had just obtained—a dark iron box containing something related to Honkai.

Then, she walked out of the alley on her own.

As for the corpses left along the way, that was the responsibility of the logistics staff.

I want to emphasize that although Angel has her principles and is friendly to most people, she is still very dangerous by nature.

The Valkyrie who was waiting for her appeared at the door of the milk tea shop on the street and greeted Angel with a smile.

Angel walked over with a wooden face.

"The mission is complete, please confirm."

"Yes, it is the item described in the file. Great, your efficiency is the highest among those I have met—but as a student, this should be your first time accepting such a mission? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"What do you mean?"

"Killing."

Irene took the mission item and observed Angel's expression. However, Angel did not have any extra expression changes, just replied calmly:

"No discomfort. I did it before entering Saint Freya."

"It doesn't sound good."

"It's over, there's nothing to talk about. Since the mission is over, I'll leave first."

"Bye, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation next time!"

Irene watched the little girl leave until she was completely submerged in the crowd.

Then, Irene contacted Otto, the Archbishop to whom all the Valkyries of Schicksal were loyal.

"The mission is completed. As you said, she is a very good child, so good that... people can't help but worry."

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that she will be exposed to darkness too early, and I'm worried that she won't become what she should be."

"What should and what shouldn't be? This is not decided by us, Irene."

Otto's voice was smiling, as if he meant something.

So Irene couldn't help asking.

"Does the Overseer have any plans for her? This is the first time I have received such a task. As an examiner of the A-rank review, I did not explain it to the child throughout the whole process, but simply watched her complete the task."

"Irene, she is very special, that's all I can say."

Fu Hua's disciple, the successor of Edge of Taixuan, was able to fight against the out-of-control Ji Lin to a certain extent at the age of 14. But at the same time, she is also a survivor of Nagazora City, a little girl who carries too many burden.

Undoubtedly a genius, undoubtedly special.

Angel achieved A-rank, and then was able to unlock the archives of Nagazora City. After that, would she turn against Saint Freya and the others? Or would she compromise and accept it after a painful struggle?

Otto didn't know how it would develop. He only knew that it was a situation that was bound to happen, and he is only able to only watch.

"Record your conclusions. For other stuff, we can only watch and bless her."

"Yes, Overseer."

After the communication ended, Irene couldn't help but look in the direction where Angel disappeared. Among the passers-by, she could no longer see the excellent but too young child.

"Ah..."

She would rather face a child like Ana Schariac, who was awkward, nervous, and trembling. When the assessment was over, she would stare at her with wet eyes, anxious and expectant.

Rather than a child like Angel who had no emotional fluctuations from beginning to end.

"Speaking of which, it is said that Ana was kidnapped by Anti-Entropy. I don't know what arrangements Overseer will make? Alas, there is also Himeko, who I don't know where she got the news from. She comes to harass me every day—I'll tell her a message, so as not to be woken up by her in the middle of the night again."

Irene sighed for her careless friendship and had to take out her mobile phone to report the good news that everything went well to Himeko.

...

'This is the second task I took on.'

'It's obvious what Mei did.'

Angel didn't know about Mei's statement to Kiana. Even Angel, the Herrscher of the Void, who was living in Kiana's body, couldn't monitor everything around Kiana all the time.

But Angel could easily guess the situation.

If Mei hadn't expressed some kind of determination, Theresa would not change her rank suppression measures against Angel with her hesitant style of not taking action until the last moment.

'Cocolia is developing.'

'Ji Lin has to protect Fuxi-chan.'

'Shamash and Jackal need to slowly digest and dominate the World Serpent.'

'Su also has to digest the legacy he left behind.'

'The most critical Yae Sakura has not found an opportunity for Otto to actively pull her into the group—maybe we should find a way to create this opportunity?'

'Alas, there are more and more clones integrating into the world.'

Angel stood on a tall building, holding the ancient sword that was in tune with her heart, looking up at the moon, and a bit of complexity appeared on her cold little face.

Yes, there are more and more clones.

But only she who is in Saint Freya is the original Angel. The others are more or less marked by others, so as to integrate into the environment where they need to stay.

She is not afraid of this unrecognizable multiple life, but this kind of life seems to have no end.

'Let's discuss how to let Otto pull Yae Sakura into his plan.'

'It is definitely inappropriate to take the initiative to ask, which does not fit Yae Sakura's personality.'

'Otto regards Yae Sakura as a kind of... legacy left by Kallen, so he will take care of her, protect her, and even undoubtedly arrange a proper way out for her before rushing to the tree, just like five hundred years ago, and continue to give everything he can to Kallen.'

'He has no motive to drag Yae Sakura into the water, unless he finds that his plan will be hindered without Yae Sakura's participation.'

In other words, create a sufficient sense of crisis?

Angel's eyes moved, and gradually some ideas came to her mind.
