Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 151: Heads may be severed, blood may flow, but face must not be lost!

Walter, wielding the Star of Eden, successfully struck Black Kirin with a gravity field, but it did not cause any damage.

"It didn't work?"

Walter was somewhat surprised: Shouldn't it at least have some effect? ​​It didn't work at all?

"Hmph, foolish! My physical body is gone, I have nothing left but hatred, how could you possibly hurt me!"

Hei Jilin swung her sword, and a black sword aura shot towards Walter, forcing Old Yang to dodge to the side.

The sword energy struck the wall of Chi You's ventricle, leaving a deep scratch.

"Uncle Yang, I'm here to help you! The atmosphere is already set—"

"Gray Hair, what are you doing?!"

To the others, Qiong, who was shouting to help, neither pulled out a baseball bat and rushed forward, nor conjured a flame spear to block the others, nor did she try to snatch Siegfried's Heavenly Judgment. Of course, if Qiong made any move, Theresa, who was blocking the others, would not hesitate to punch him.

But from behind, Qiong suddenly started... an awkward dance?

Theresa had only one thought: Could this child be mentally ill?

Poor kid, you should go back and get an MRI or something and see a neurologist.

"Walter, watch out!"

Siegfried raised his hand and fired a shot, accurately hitting Black Kirin, but it was useless. Black Kirin merely blurred and dodged the bullet fired by the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

"It's still no use! Theresa, quickly get your Judah!"

"No need, let me do it!"

Physical attacks are ineffective against Black Kirin, because you cannot target something that doesn't even have a physical body. However, Welt is not alarmed.

"Everyone, don't worry about me! I'll handle it! Qiong, you too! Put your hat away."

Since Old Yang had said so, Qiong could only put away his hat. Seeing that the others had stopped attacking one after another, Hei Jilin also stopped.

"Do you regret it? It's not too late to leave now."

Old Yang shook his head and raised the Star of Eden once more.

"Come again? Why waste time and effort?"

Walter did not reply, but simply gripped the Star of Eden tightly, muttering incantations to himself.

"I didn't want to do this... Senior Ji Lin, do you know that?"

The Star of Eden shone brightly, and a gravity field much stronger than before formed around Ji Lin.

Hei Jilin felt an unprecedented force binding her, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Your attack can affect the soul?"

"Do not."

Walter shook his head.

"But under gravity ten thousand times stronger than normal, even light would vanish... This is what a pseudo-black hole is!"

In an instant, Black Kirin let out a painful cry, and its previously ethereal body began to twist rapidly. Realizing that the attack was effective, Welt increased the energy output of Eden's Star.

The simulated black hole controlled Hei Jilin, and no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free. Hei Jilin's resistance grew weaker and weaker, and finally she turned into specks of black light and dissipated in the air.

"Rest in peace, heroes of the past..."

Walter closed his eyes in homage. In any case, Ji Lin was a hero who sacrificed himself to protect Shenzhou and humanity.

After finishing his greetings, he waved to the group.

"Alright everyone, the crisis is over, let's go back."

The simulated black hole not only devoured the Black Ji Lin, but also the heart of Chi You here. The moment the Black Ji Lin dissipated, Chi You also stopped moving.

"Wow, no wonder he's Uncle Yang!"

Qiong seemed to transform into Welt's little fanboy and started clapping wildly. Because of Qiong's influence, the three starter families and Fu Hua also joined in clapping, making Lao Yang a little embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, let's go back. Now that Chi You's core has been destroyed and the remnant soul of Ji Lin, which supports his internal movements, will collapse soon if nothing unexpected happens. We need to leave quickly."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Siegfried led the way, with Theresa bringing up the rear, and the group gradually made their way back in the direction they had come from.

"Walter, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Theresa looked at Old Yang, who was standing there motionless and doing nothing, with some confusion.

"It's nothing, I'm just reminiscing about the heroes."

"Then you'd better hurry up and come with us, the Valkyries from other branches might be arriving soon, and then things might get complicated!"

Walter finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Theresa leave.

If no one sees it, then it doesn't matter.

"vomit!"

After the restraints were lifted and he clutched his chest, Old Yang immediately felt a sharp pain and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I overestimated myself... I went a bit too far when using the simulated black hole just now..."

With a pale face, Old Yang took a dozen deep breaths in a row with a bitter smile.

"If Tesla and the others see this, I'll probably get yelled at again, right?"

However, this damage is nothing to worry about for him. As long as he has time to rebuild, he will definitely be able to get his body back to its peak condition. The worst outcome is that his body will be ruined and he will have to spend a month or two rebuilding it.

Being physically unwell is temporary, but looking good in front of others is for life. People can lose many things, but there are some things they absolutely cannot lose, such as losing face.

Walter can be a hero, an animator, or even a pioneer, but he just can't be a coward!

If possible, he still hopes to leave everyone with the image of a mature, reliable, and fearless hero, rather than a hot-blooded, immature old man...

Well, after packing up, he'll still be that senior member of the train crew, the mature and steady leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

"You little devils, you're such a handful!"

Theresa, Himeko, Yae Sakura, and Siegfried stood with their hands on their hips in front of several unfortunate people: Kiana with teary eyes, Sora with a sad face, Raiden Mei with her head down, and Bronya with an expressionless face.

Where is Fu Hua? Fu Hua is lying in a hospital bed, feigning illness.

"Although nothing unexpected happened this time, you all still need to reflect on your actions!"

"Squad leader, you promised you'd carry it..."

Kiana was quite unhappy about being scolded. Not believing she had done anything wrong, she started shouting loudly.

"But we're doing this for China! If it weren't for us, Dad, you wouldn't even know that the core is the heart!"

"No talking back! You disobeyed orders, deceived the teacher, coerced the Valkyrie into hacking into the system, and you still think you're right?!"

Theresa's face flushed, and she tapped Kiana on the head.

If Kiana continues talking, they will all find out that I destroyed the seal on Chi You, and I'm afraid my authority as the headmaster will be in jeopardy!

"No, I insist!"

Kiana didn't care anymore after seeing her father. She joined St. Freya Academy to find Siegfried in the first place. Now that she had found Siegfried, why should she be afraid of Theresa, the headmistress?

Although she felt a little bad for her period, this time she was determined to hold onto Siegfried tightly. If Siegfried left, she probably would too…

"You damn old man, I'm asking you, where have you been all these years? Why won't you see me?"

"I……"

Even though I guessed that Kiana might be changing the subject to avoid punishment, it was still very useful.

There's no other reason than that Siegfried couldn't explain it.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Kiana looked at Siegfried, who was at a loss and seeking help from Theresa, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Did you abandon me back then?!"

"No, no, no, how could that be? You're Dad's only precious daughter, how could I possibly abandon you?"

"Waaaaah, you definitely don't want me anymore, otherwise why didn't you take me with you?"

"Um, Kiana, there are many reasons for this... but you have to believe that Dad will always love you!"

"Then will you still leave me?"

Absolutely not!

Before Siegfried could speak, Theresa answered for him with a mischievous grin.

"Let me think...it seems like one of our security guards at St. Freya recently resigned? Hmm, Himeko's practical training classes are pretty tiring too...right, Siegfried—no, Professor Portio?"

Siegfried stared in shock at Theresa, who wore a smug expression.

"Theresa, you want me to work for you?"

"Is that so, Dad?"

Siegfried: ...

He dared not refuse.

Whatever the reason, Kiana's creation disrupted the atmosphere of questioning and reprimanding, which made Sora decide to try to get herself out of trouble as well.

Taking a deep breath, Qiong smiled apologetically at Theresa.

"Headmaster, I admit I was wrong, so please punish me! Take away my Houmu doll!"

"What Houmu doll?"

Himeko's question was also Bronya's question, and Sora watched everyone's replies with a smile.

"The headmistress promised me a limited-edition Houmu doll collectible if I successfully supported Manila. I was planning to give it to Bronya—maybe she forgot, since I came to Shenzhou for 'tourism' afterwards... oh well."

Theresa: ...

Theresa felt a little embarrassed by what Qiong said. Thinking about it, the other party had just finished their mission and was brought here for "tourism". In order to successfully complete the mission and defeat Chiyou, they were willing to be punished to deliver the message. If she really punished them, would it hurt the children's feelings?

If it were her, it seems like she really would?

"Alright, alright, the children were a bit naughty, but they did a great job this time. And they should have learned their lesson from this experience."

Great! Theresa was worried about how to save face, but Himeko gave her a way out.

"For Himeko-sensei's sake, I'll let you off this time. But don't let it happen again!"
