Chapter 130: The Beginning of Act 3

Chapter 130: The Beginning of Act 3

The next day, in downtown Singapore.

"Last night, an unidentified woman entered the Queen's Hotel. The police suspect that she has a major connection with the explosion that occurred last night. Anyone who sees a similar person please contact the police immediately..."

On the streets, wanted notices about someone were echoing, and on the screens that could be seen everywhere, one could see a frontal photo of a gray-haired woman.

"..."

The gray-haired woman in a windbreaker glanced at the wanted poster for herself on TV, and walked into the alley before being noticed by others.

"This is getting a little tricky..."

Fu Hua muttered to herself.

Kiana had lost contact with her but was not wanted, and the photo used in the wanted warrant was so clear... This could only mean that Kiana had fallen into the hands of Anti-Entropy, and that the Singapore government had already colluded with the Anti-Entropy guys beforehand.

After thinking for a moment, she began to walk along the path, moving quickly towards a place she was familiar with.

After a while, she found a remote bar and pushed the door open.

——The entrance of this bar is not conspicuous, it can even be said to be a bit hidden, so there is not much business.

In the entire bar, there was only one man dressed as a waiter, who was wiping wine bottles, as if preparing for guests who might arrive at any time.

Fu Hua didn't say anything, but walked straight to the bar and sat in front of the man.

"This...Mr. or Miss?"

The man asked tentatively.

From the appearance and physique, he couldn't tell Fu Hua's gender for a moment.

"Give me a glass of water and the latest information."

Ignoring his probing, Fu Hua spoke directly.

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't quite understand what you mean. We just have a bar..."

Before the man could finish his words, a coin shot out from Fu Hua's hand, scratched his face, and embedded itself into the wooden cabinet.

"I don't have time to play house with you, ghost."

Fu Hua said coldly.

"...Okay, I can't hide it from you. How did you find out this time? I even covered up the smell."

As the man spoke, he pulled off the hood on his face, and his voice changed from a male voice to a female voice.

Then, a woman stood in front of Fu Hua.

Central Intelligence Department, A-level Valkyrie, codename [Ghost], specializes in disguising herself as anyone.

According to the mission requirements, she ran a bar in Singapore and collected intelligence about Honkai in this neutral zone for a long time.

Fu Hua repeated it again:

"Ghost, is there more information."

"Okay, okay... I know you're too lazy to answer."

As the ghost spoke, she took a glass of water and gave it to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua took the cup, drank the water in it, and thought about the current situation.

Last night, she fought against the guy from Anti-Entropy for the first time. Although she succeeded in severely injuring the man and cutting off his tongue, she was forced to flee because of the self-detonation of the mecha.

But she still got some useful information. For example, Cocolia did not intend to take the Serenity Gem out of Singapore and bring it back to Anti-Entropy but placed it somewhere in this city.

——This means that the old fox intends to use the Serenity Gem to do something in this city.

The current situation has exceeded her expectations. Considering the plan that Cocolia is brewing and Kiana's safety, Fu Hua judged that she must now seek additional support from the Schicksal Headquarters.

Since the Singapore government is no longer neutral, Schicksal is no longer in a position to continue to abide by the agreement and can send large-scale troops here.

Thinking of this, Fu Hua asked:

"Ghost, any news from Otto?"

"The Archbishop? He sent a message ten minutes ago. The Schicksal Headquarters will not send any reinforcements. The mission originally assigned to you will continue to be carried out."

The ghost replied briskly.

"...Continue?"

"Yes, the Archbishop said that if you fail, things will take an interesting turn."

"…"

Fu Hua pushed her glasses, stood up, and said nothing more.

Although the difficulty of the task increased, she had no complaints.

'Since there is no support, I have to do it myself.'

"Ghost, help me investigate the whereabouts of Kiana and the news of the Serenity Gem."

"Yes, yes... By the way, do you want to change into a combat uniform? This tattered one is not suitable for going out."

The ghost pointed to the room behind her.

Fu Hua looked at the clothes she was wearing. They were already torn due to last night's battle and were indeed not suitable to be worn anymore.

She was just about to change into light clothes as the ghost had said, but at this moment, the door of the bar was opened.

An adult white-haired man walked in with firm steps and looked at the two people who were talking at the bar.

"You…you are!"

The ghost shouted in surprise.

Siegfried Kaslana, one of the targets wanted by the Archbishop of Schicksal.

Fu Hua's eyes also became a little more serious.

He drew out the Judgment of Shamash from his waist and said in a cheerful tone:

"Two beautiful ladies...can you chat with me for a while?"

......

Near Queen's Hotel.

Kirataka was on the high platform, using an electromagnetic field to scan the situation inside the hotel.

Thanks to Fu Hua's battle with Watt last night, the Queen Hotel is now empty, with only a number of soldiers standing at the door guarding the entrance.

He easily found Kiana's location; she was with Dr. Maki.

——Last night, while Fu Hua went alone to collect information, Dr. Maki found a way to contact Kiana and injected her with the HSN-B46 serum that can neutralize Honkai energy.

From the old man's perspective, he probably just doesn't want girls like Kiana to continue to sacrifice their lives to fight against Honkai, but considering their current situation, it is indeed quite dangerous.

Dr. Maki still thought that he was a guest of honor of Cocolia and could rely on his identity to protect Kiana, but he didn't know that Cocolia had no demands on him at all. After getting the Serenity Gem, he was no longer of any use to her.

Therefore, Watt, who is still staying in the Queen Hotel, will probably take it out on him and Kiana in order to release his unhappiness caused by being hurt by Fu Hua.

...Come to think of it, a Valkyrie could be successfully ambushed by a white-haired old man. What can we say about Kiana's vigilance? She really had no vigilance at all.

Kirataka sighed, jumped onto the rooftop, and put on the camouflage mask on his face.

From what he could sense, that Watt had already approached the room where Kiana and Dr. Maki were.

Then, it's time for him to appear.
