"Mom?"

Rin found that during the time she went to Destiny, her mother's condition had become even worse, and according to the nurse who cared for her, the siliconized tissue on her body had increased tenfold in just half a year.

Although Bronya hadn't met this Ms. Cao Liang, she did Rin a great favor by paying her hospitalization and medical expenses for a whole year. After all, this amount of money is a lot of money for Rin, and Rin has only been working for almost a year, how can he afford such a huge amount of money - "160,000 Maitreya coins"?

"Rin...... Rin ......"

Ms. Cao Liang, the skin around her mouth began to siliconize to crack, and there were oxygen tubes inserted on both sides of her mouth, which were directly connected to her trachea, so that she could breathe more easily. Seeing this, Elysia also covered her mouth, she only knew that Rin's mother was hospitalized, but she didn't know that she was so sick.

Rin didn't speak, but walked up to Cao Liang, holding her right hand tightly, and closed her eyes tightly.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I couldn't come back to see you because I was busy, I don't have anything to bring this time, I'm sorry......"

His tears swirled frantically in his eye sockets, dripping from his eye sockets, dripping on Cao Liang's hospital bed, crying silently. Elysia and Bronya didn't come closer, but looked at Rin who was sobbing in front of the hospital bed with a very worried look.

Since the "Era Collapse" happened, too many people have had the same symptoms as Ms. Cao Liang, and because of this, the fate that awaits them can only be summed up by the word "death". Cao Liang closed her eyes tightly, and in the residual consciousness in her mind, she would be satisfied to see Rin and his friends visiting her at the end of her life.

"Rin...... Rin ...... Sorry ......"

From the dry cracked lips, Cao Liang still wanted to say something to Rin, but because she was so sick, the moment these words were spoken, they turned into a whirring wind and blew in Rin's ears.

Rin wanted to get closer and hear what his mother was going to say, but he couldn't hear it anymore, and the sound of the wind made him feel desperate and unfamiliar.

His mother was critically ill and could die at any moment, and he knew that. No matter how much money was used, it could not save his mother's life, which was already critically ill. When his mother vaguely said "Actually, ......", the consciousness space in his body began to fluctuate a little. I saw that his consciousness was out of his mind, flying towards the small universe in his body, and reaching the deep space in his body.

In the darkness, he saw a being dressed in a nun's garment, but the nun's body was covered with light, and it was impossible to see her appearance and appearance through the light that covered her.

"The little prince of the concubine~ Where are you? Where are you ......"

The light made a girlish voice after a burst of disbelief that Rin tried to make contact with the light, but the light was getting farther and farther away from him.

He had some familiar feelings, as if what existed in that light was his own relatives, his own origin. When she came to her senses, she and her mother were the only ones in the ward, while Bronya and Elysia had left the room and were waiting outside the hospital door. They started talking outside the hospital, also about what happened to Rin.

"Sister Elysia, what do you mean...... Is it true? Why are you so sure that Rin is a 'Vessel of Hope'? ”

"Eh~ this, huh...... Because Xiao Rin has the aura of 'not belonging to this world', you who used to be the 'Fourteen Lawgivers of the Stars' should be able to feel it, right? ”

"I can't feel it, anyway, Sister Elysia, I'm not a 'lawyer' anymore, besides...... Among the existing 'Fourteen Laws of Creation', you are the only one, Sister Elysia. ”

"Eh~ seems to be yes, sorry sorry ♪"

Bronya's expression was always serious, she believed everything Elysia said, if Rin was about the "Vessel of Hope", then Lady Cao Liang should know some truth.

However, now that Ms. Cao Liang is so sick, it is extremely difficult for her to ask questions. I don't know how long Rin stayed inside, but Bronya would go to see him every ten minutes, Rin just knelt in front of Cao Liang's hospital bed, lowered her head, held her right hand, which was no longer able to move, and was silent and did not speak.

"Worried about your teammates? Sister Bronya. ”

Bronya turned her head to look at Elysia, then did not hide from the door to see Rin's situation, and followed Elysia out of the hospital.

"Rin is a very special existence, in my impression, the last time I came into contact with this type of existence, it should have been when I picked up the 'star fragment' on the ground~"

"'Star shards'? What do you mean...... Does Rin not belong to the earth, but to exist outside of the earth? ”

"That's right~ I can only come to this conclusion, after all, there are still many mysteries left in this world, and I can only try to guess it."

With a playful and regretful expression, Elysia looked at Bronya's serious face, and motioned for her to say more about what she knew. So, she spoke about being able to understand all of this.

"If it were Mr. Walter Young of the Star Alliance, he would probably know these things, right? He wrote a book, and I've read it, and it's full of things I don't know...... It's hard to understand~"

"'Star Alliance'? What kind of existence is it? ”

"Hey, hey~ The secret, little Bronya will know when the time comes~"

Elysia is reluctant to tell Bronya about the "Star Alliance", because it may not be a good time yet, as long as she contacts the Star Alliance, she may be able to solve the mystery of Rin's body.

When Rin came out, his expression was still sad, his eyes were red from crying, but he still pretended to be indifferent. After walking out of the hospital, he did not choose to go to Bronya and the two of them, but turned around, leaned against the wall pillar of the hospital, looked up at the sky, and looked at the sky that had been completely covered by clouds, with an extremely desperate expression.

And Bronya silently walked over to Rin's side, and just like him, she sat against the hospital doorpost, doing the same thing as him. She leaned against Rin's side, and for her at this moment, seeing such a painful Rin, her heart seemed to be uncomfortable, and she wanted to share his pain in this way.

Rin turned his head to glance at his captain, then said to her:

"I'm sorry, captain, when I saw my mother, I suddenly had the idea of quitting my job, and I didn't know what to do."

"And what do you think?" 'Honkai Crystallization' is an incurable disease, and if you stay here, it will only help. ”

"I know...... But I still want to stay with her and go through the last journey of her life. ”

"Rin ......"

Rin fell into deep thought, he looked at the soft blue glow of Hypernetus in his hand, it followed him all the time, inseparably, and since he got it, it had accompanied him through battles large and small, until now.

At this time, he thought of his mother who was paralyzed in the hospital bed, which was his only relative, and he was able to have money to study, all of which she worked hard to provide with research funds. The current level of medical care is not enough to cure his mother's incurable disease, and if he continues to stay in the past and does not explore the related things of the "Era Collapse", then it is tantamount to giving up all his previous efforts.

So, he made up his mind and said to Bronya:

"So, I'm going to keep going, I want to understand what happened before the Honkai Era, if there was such medical technology 'within the Civilization Gap'...... I would have been able to save my mother's life. ”

"So what you're trying to find Kiana for this is also what you want? Rin. ”

"Well, so...... Trust me, Captain. ”

Rin and Bronya are like brothers and sisters who are not related by blood, although they have only been together for half a year, but Bronya cares about Rin all the time, just like Shizuru at that time. Because Rin's family background is not very good, he is also the first Ash agent he has seen, who wants to work hard to earn money to save for his mother's medical expenses.

"Captain, can I lean on you for a while?"

"No problem, my shoulder can be lent to you at any time."

"Thank you...... Captain. ”

After getting Bronya's permission, Rin quietly leaned on Bronya's shoulder, although it was different from the feeling of leaning on her mother's shoulder before, but both were equally warm.

"Thank you, Captain, for helping me a lot."

"It's okay, that's my responsibility as the captain."

Bronya stretched out her other hand and quietly touched Rin's head, at this moment, Bronya seemed to be like his own sister, a member of Rin's family.

"Don't worry, it's going to get better, and if you want to know what happened during the civilization rift, I'll do my best to help you."

Although she is not related to Rin by blood, Rin has been with her day and night during this time, and she has not trained him less, but she really wants to help him.

"Okay, Captain, I've got enough, thank you for lending me your shoulder."

"Are you well rested?"

"I'll be embarrassed if I continue like this...... I'm also a little willful, captain, you won't blame me, will you? ”

"Hehe, what are you talking about?"

Rin stood up, patted her buttocks, and smiled resolutely at Bronya, and Elysia, who was watching all this, also showed a smile of relief. She walked up to Rin and said that if he was sad again, he could come to her, and she could lend him her shoulder to lean on.

"Thank you...... Let's go back, I have to work harder. ”

After saying goodbye to Elysia, Rin and Bronya returned home, Shizuru and Rin had already returned, and seeing Captain Bronya and Rin returning home at the same time, Rin Qi's first reaction was that the two of them went on a mission.

"Good work, Captain! And Rin, the mission is hard! ”

However, Bronya said that she accompanied Elysia to visit Rin's mother, and after explaining her serious illness to Lynki, Lynki also became worried and asked about Rin's family. Shizuru on the side also seemed to know that Rin's mother was very sick, so he also asked in a concerned tone:

"Is Rin-kun's mother okay? I've also heard about Rin-kun's situation. ”

Rin, on the other hand, smiled wryly, nodded, and did not speak. Bronya, who was beside him, looked at him and didn't speak.

Shizuru and Linqi, who asked the question, also seemed to know what Rin meant, so they stopped talking about it. After that, Bronya and them gathered around the coffee table for a short meeting. It seems that on the way back, Glondelle sent Bronya instructions on her next move, telling her to prepare and take the team members on a mission the next day.

"I just received a message from Captain Urlandale, recently, there has been a phenomenon similar to Honkai pollution in the sea area of Zone Z, let's get ready, and go there early tomorrow morning to investigate."

"Also, Rin, you should have a good rest in the recent period, if something happens at home, you must not feel good in your heart...... We'll take care of these things, don't worry. ”

However, Rin said that he would act with everyone and would not delay his work because of these personal matters.

Lin Qi also knew that Rin's current situation was difficult, especially under the premise that something like this happened in his family, it was rare for him to be able to maintain a normal state of mind. However, Bronya remembers that Elysia is going to find Rin the next day, so she tells her about it, and tells Rin to go to Elicia without letting him go with her to participate in tomorrow's operation.

Rin also remembered this incident, and in order to figure out the mystery in himself, he said to Bronya:

"So...... Captain, be careful in tomorrow's mission, and when I'm not there, please be careful. ”

"Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Bronya then disbanded the brief meeting and told everyone to have a good night's rest and start working in earnest tomorrow.

At night, everyone was resting and preparing for tomorrow's mission, but Rin didn't sleep, he was looking at the photos with his mother saved on his phone, and muttering something to himself.

"Mom, after I finish the work of the Mandate of Heaven, I'll come back, and when you're well, let's go farther away to have a look......"

As the night passed, the bags under his eyes became heavy, and when Lin Qi knocked on the door to ask him for a mission, it was a long time before he opened the door. Before leaving the mission, Lin Qi went to Rin's room and knocked on the door to see how he was doing. After all, after what happened yesterday, Rin must be sad in her heart.

"Wow, are you having insomnia? I can't even open your eyes. ”

"It's fine."

Rin comforted her like this, signaling her not to worry about herself, but more to worry about, it was them who went out on combat missions.

Mandate of Heaven - Maitreya City District - Mandate of Heaven Urban Construction Department Building

Rin arrives at Elysia's office door, and Rin still doesn't know why Elysia-sama has been wanting to contact her all this time, that is, to come and talk to her as she asks. Could it be that she found something? Remembering what Elysia had said to him, Rin walked into the office with a nervous mood and began to get nervous again.

At this time, Elysia was standing by the window, looking up at the clear blue sky, as if thinking about something. Today's weather was fine, and the sun shone into the office along the edge of the window, and the sunlight reflected on her face, which looked very moving.

"Mistress Elysia, I'm here."

"Sit down, Rin-chan."

"Yes."

Rin paced apprehantly to the desk, sat down, and then hung her head as she waited for Alysia to say something to him.

"Rin-chan, do you remember when you were a child?"

"I don't remember exactly."

"If you think about it, is there anything strange?"

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay, take your time."

Elysia looked at Rin with a gentle smile, and Rin tried to follow Elysia's guidance, trying to remember what happened to him before, but he still couldn't remember anything because it was because the memory was too far away or something.

He only knew that Ms. Cao Liang was his mother, and since the time he was in college, she had been hiding her illness and trying not to disturb Rin's studies. By the time Rin submitted his resume to New Arcadia Tech, the rest of his memories were from adulthood, and had nothing to do with his childhood.

Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with his expression, Elysia quickly interrupted his memories and asked him:

"Do you remember anything?"

"I ......"

Then, it was the first time he met Miss Shizuru, and at that time, Shizuru had been directing his work, and, in order to make money, Rin agreed to the job transfer in New Arcadia. After coming to the security department, Shizuru still trained himself to use firearms and talked to himself as usual. Except for the memories of that time, all other memories disappeared from his mind as if they were nothing.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Elysia, I only have memories of that time...... When I think about my childhood, it's been too long for me to remember. ”

Rin told all the only things he remembered.

"I see, I see."

Elysia was acting very serious at this point, as if sensing something was wrong, and she watched Rin's performance while trying to think of some way to help Rin.

After a long time, she took out her cell phone and dialed Dr. Edward.

"I'm sorry it's me, Xiao Ai, that, are you convenient now? Your friend needs you to help him out, trouble, huh. ”

Rin knew who she was talking about "Little Love", it was Dr. Edward, who had recently been busy treating the wounded of the members of the combat unit that had been conducting Operation Dawn some time ago. Then, she opened her mouth to introduce Rin about the true identity of Ms. "Cao Liang" and things related to her.

Twenty years before the "Anpoch Collapse" took place - the Star Alliance

"Dr. Cao Liang, it's hard work."

"It's okay."

At this time, Ms. Cao Liang was still young, she was wearing the white overalls of the research institute, holding a stack of sorted materials, and talking with a short woman with blue hair.

This short girl, named Lisel Albert Einstein, was Cao Liang's boss. Some time ago, they found a jar containing a small baby from the "ancient ruins" under the seabed. Dr. Lisel had never seen anything so strange, and, after taking care of the "Ancient Species", she asked Dr. Cao Liang:

"That 'Ancient Orphan', you've already saved it, right? And also...... Have you sorted out the 'information' from the ancient seabed? ”

"Remember to keep it, although it is extremely difficult for us to understand and analyze these materials, but I still want to keep them so that they can be accessed by other staff members later."

So Cao Liang followed Dr. Lisel's instructions and sealed the data into the largest database of the whole destiny, "Star Track", which is the largest database in the "Star Alliance", which preserves all kinds of information.

Just as they were about to lock the data, Cao Hua suddenly started to think carefully, as a researcher, it is one of their nature to be curious. Secretly read some secret information yourself, as long as it doesn't leak out...... It should be okay, right? She thought to herself.

So, she opened the mysterious information about the "ancient ruins" that Lisel had excavated, and the contents were "quite incomprehensible" to her:

"'Ten Heavenly Saints'."

“…… The Holy ...... of Leading the World and Managing the World"

"...... 'hope,' 'chastity,' 'forgiveness,' 'love,' 'omniscience,' 'equality,' 'humility,' 'self-love,' 'justice,' 'sacrifice,' ......"

"...... the 'Ten Virtues'...... Gamma ......"

"*Message Lost*"

Just when he saw this, Cao Hua suddenly realized something, so he closed the data and hurriedly opened another database. It was a part of the information compiled by Mr. Walter Young, a former member of the Star Creation Alliance, before he went on an interstellar trip. It reads:

"'The Trial of the Ten Heavenly Saints.'"

"The Heavenly Sage is very afraid of the existence born of human civilization, the existence called 'advancement', and is afraid of the self-destruction caused by the uncontrolled development of human civilization."

"So, they decided to create a test called the 'Ten Days Trial' to restrain the development of human civilization."

"The test called 'despair' will extinguish the human nature in the name of 'madness', the things you love will disappear, and the human will lose the meaning of their existence."

"The test called 'tolerance' extinguishes the human nature in the name of 'motherhood', defiles faith and purity, and thinking is no longer generated."

"The test called 'chastity' will wipe out the human nature in the name of 'persistence', trust will cease to exist, society will fall apart, and civilization will degrade for a time."

"The test called 'loving-kindness' extinguishes the humanity in the name of 'possession', people can no longer love others, and wars continue."

"The test called 'omniscience', the annihilation of humanity in the name of 'love', the world no longer thinks, the walking dead are everywhere, eating each other and devouring each other's flesh."

"The test called 'equality' extinguishes the name of 'arrogance' in human nature, spreads pain, and regrets the injustice of fate."

"The test called 'humility' extinguishes the humanity in the name of 'expectation', gives false hope, and loses the way forward."

"The test called 'self-love', the human nature that annihilates the name of 'hatred', and the dull man will lead people forward."

"The test called 'righteousness' extinguishes the human nature in the name of 'suspicion', fights each other, and takes each other by force, so that civilization can progress."

"The test called 'sacrifice' extinguishes the humanity of the name of 'sorrow', and the hero will not exist in the world, and the revolution will die here."

When connecting the information "Trial of the Ten Heavenly Saints" with the information of the "Later Ten Heavenly Saints", Cao Liang seemed to feel that something was not right. However, since they all exist, it means that these previous documents did not appear at the same time.

The stone slab that I found earlier seems to have existed in the civilization of that period, and it is carved in the form of words under the beneath the ruins of the seabed.

The ancient gamma civilization once appeared more brilliant and splendid than modern humans, but after ten days of disasters, the ancient gamma civilization disappeared from the earth as if it did not exist. In other words, the "Ten Days of Trial" recorded on the stone tablet is a form of collapse recorded during the ancient Gamma civilization. And the "Ten Heavenly Sages" are not the gods revered by the Gamma people, but ten beings like the law.

Unlike the fourteen existing lawyers, these ten lawgivers seem to be much older and more powerful than them, and even the Honkai they cause will be regarded as a "miracle" by the Gamma.

This is just the result of an analysis, but at the same time, Cao Liang also came to another conclusion.

Is it possible that the ancient gamma civilization was not led to the fall of a similar existence such as "Honkai", but by "true gods"? Is it possible that these "Ten Heavenly Saints" are the true gods and not the "lawyers"? With this in mind, she decided to go on an observation mission to the Second World, where these ancient texts were discovered, and raise the "Gamma Orphan" there, so that he could grow up healthy and smooth.

However, while she was raising the "ancient orphans", she worked hard to study the relevant information, and after another fifteen years, the incurable disease found her.

The symptom called "Honkai Crystallization" spread to every corner of the world after the Star Creation, infecting the vast majority of people who were unable to resist. That's all for later, and when Elysia said this, she paused, saying that she had heard so much from "Walter Young", and that the rest was for Rin to ask him herself.

After hearing this, Rin was very curious about the gentleman named "Walter Young" in Elysia's mouth, and hurriedly asked her:

"So, where is that Mr. Walter Jan?"

"It's not time to tell you yet, after all, I also have a 'confidentiality agreement' here~ Let's get in touch with Xiaoai more, he may tell you 'suddenly' one day."

"Why are you all guessing riddles for me?"

After Elysia finished talking about these things, her expression was still relaxed, as if she also knew that there was some "real" verification of the things she had heard about until now.

Because Elysia only heard Mr. Yang say this as a "joke" at the time, and didn't take it seriously, until she saw the "Rin" in front of her, she believed the credibility of these words. However, Rin still couldn't understand that among the words she had said was some proper noun such as "ancient", so she asked her:

"Also, who is the 'ancient orphan' you talked about?"

"yes, who the hell is it?"

Elysia's pale pink eyes looked at Rin, and the two looked at each other. After a few moments of composure, Rin stretched out a finger and pointed it at herself.

"I don't believe it, though I'd love to believe you......"

"Xiao Rin, I understand your feelings, in fact~ Sister Elysia, I may not be very willing to believe it."

Rin felt his old memories coming back little by little, but he seemed to have a hard time believing it due to his own desperate rejection.

"My name is Rin, and I've been wondering why my mom gave me that name, which means ......"

"According to the Chinese language, Rin and 'zero' are homophones, and my original name was ...... Zero...... Am I a descendant of the first ancient species? What and what! ”

Rin analyzed it at this time, according to what he told him according to Elysia, if he was really a baby found in the ancient ruins, then his biological father and mother must already exist outside of this human civilization.

I saw Elysia continue to talk about these things:

"About the people of ancient times~ I don't know much about other people, especially when I first heard these things that Mr. Yang told me, I took them as a joke~"

"But, if I hadn't seen you, Xiao Rin, maybe I wouldn't want to believe this~ Because the aura on your body is so special, like a falling star in the vast universe~♪"

Rin also began to think about it gradually when he heard that Elysia commented on the aura on his body, but he couldn't find any answers. He then thanked Elysia and said that he would go to Dr. Edward and meet with him about what Elysia had told him.

"Thank you, Lord Elysia, for being willing to tell me these things."

"Hehe~ You're welcome, don't be so faceless in the future, don't call me 'Lord Elysia', but call me 'Sister Elysia'~ Got it? Rin-chan? ”

"Uh...... Well, then, goodbye, 'Sister Elysia'. ”

"You're welcome ♪"

So, after saying goodbye to Elysia, Dr. Edward came to Rin and took him to the coffee shop where the two of them usually go to have coffee.

"'Ancient Species', Aelicia told you all this, right? Why would she tell you these things? ”

"I don't know, besides, she also said that my mother is not related to me, I am a descendant of the ancient species...... Although I don't want to believe it. ”

"No, I believe that...... Moreover, those 'ancient species' have official names, and in general, we call them 'gamma'. ”

"Gamma?"

"That's right, they were the first group of humans to appear on Earth, probably from the same era as the 'dinosaurs'...... However, it is also in the process of research, and more things may be waiting for us to verify. ”

Rin quickly asked why Dr. Edward said this, and why did he believe that he was a "gamma" and not a modern human.

When he asked this question, Dr. Edward replied truthfully:

"You think, obviously you are not an adaptable existence in Honkai, why would you let a weapon like Hypernetus resonate with you, as well as the matter of overlord cells, do you think it is a little reasonable?"

After he explained, Rin began to struggle to remember what had happened to her.

Since he got Hypernetus, he has also been housed in the cells of the Overlord's Blade, and if these things can be linked to his identity as a Gamma descendant, then it will make sense. In his impression, his mother has always called himself an "ordinary person", and he has been convinced that he is definitely not the "ordinary person" in his mother's mouth.

In the end, Rin reluctantly came to this conclusion:

"yes, it seems that the reality is like that."

"And what are your plans for the future?"

When Dr. Edward asked about his plans, Rin couldn't think of an answer for a while, which was something he was very embarrassed about.

It was already a rare thing for him to not break down after listening to the facts that Elysia had said.

So, he still decided to move on:

"My goal has not changed, and if I don't investigate what you call the ancient civilization of 'Gamma', or about Miss Kiana, then I will never have an answer."

After saying this, Rin got up from her seat and offered Dr. Edward an invitation to cooperate, saying:

"Doctor, you're interested in those things, aren't you, so our cooperation plan is going to be extended."

"yes, I'll help you, brother."

After a coffee and a conversation, Dr. Edward took him to his office and gave him some information.

"These are the materials of those 'Ten Heavenly Saints', and I have also communicated with the people from the Firmament Research Department, these existences, we tentatively call them 'Lawgivers', and it is not excluded that they are 'above the Lawgivers', you can take a look."

Rin flipped through the pages and looked at the events recorded on it, and at the same time, Dr. Edward began to introduce the Ten Heavenly Saints.

"What New Arcadia Technology is currently working on is a project called 'Rebirth', and the core of this plan is one of the 'Ten Heavenly Saints', called 'Dagama of Despair'."

"It is said that he is the founder of the Gamma civilization, but he disappeared after the ten natural disasters, I don't know if it was suppressed or for other reasons, in short, there is not much information about them, and we are speeding up the sorting out."

Edward introduced the case of Dagama, the being tentatively designated as the "Lawgiver", which represents "despair", which is the opposite of the word hope.

"At present, the new Arcadia technology is firmly in the hands of the 'strategist' of the Polaris Alliance, and since almost every member of the Polaris is a 'mimic lawyer', it is very related to the power of Dagama, and my power is likely to be due to this guy."

"Are you so sure?" Rin asked rhetorically.

"The 'Heavenly Sage of Despair,' or the 'Lawgiver of Despair,' though I'm not sure if this is the 'Lawgiver' or the true 'God'...... That's what we call this guy, and even though his body is unknown, I'm pretty sure it's this guy, I'm so sure. ”

While Rin and Dr. Edward were discussing the emergence of such a number of 'mimics' in New Arcadia, Team 7 was having trouble investigating the waterfront in Area Z.

The seashore in Area Z was originally a no-man's land in the area under the jurisdiction of Sky City, but since the concentration of Honkai there increased dramatically after the Honkai Era, it was designated as a dangerous area "Z", which means that humans cannot set foot in the deepest part of the field. 、

The operation consisted of Bronya, Lynki, and Ritter from the 7th Special Investigation Team, as well as Aqia as a medical member, and Carol Adam from the 3rd Investigation Team. Since Mei Yi was going to perform a higher-level mission, she also temporarily called Miss Shizuru in Bronya's team, and asked Adam and Carol to carry out the mission with Bronya and their team.

They face a more dangerous crisis than they did when they fought Anania on the outskirts of York.
