Chapter 127 Bloodstained Cherry Blossoms
……
Hearing the piercing screams for help, Xi'er knew that it was the direction Yun Fuyu had gone, and rushed over there.
Before my eyes, a boy who looked like a demon stood deep in the alley, while a girl, tears streaming down her face, fled despite her numerous injuries.
Upon seeing someone arrive, the girl cried and threw herself into Xi'er's arms, fearfully saying "demon" and "help." Xi'er glanced at Yun Fuyu, sighed inwardly, and quickly led the girl to an open area.
When Xi'er returned to the alley, Yun Fuyu had already retracted her wings, leaned against the wall, and looked up at the sky expressionlessly.
Seele's voice rang in my ears: "Let's go, we should go meet Kevin."
Yun Fuyu looked at Xi'er. She smiled and stretched out a small, soft hand, as if asking him to hold her hand.
"...Well, let's go."
My mood suddenly improved.
The epicenter of the Honkai outbreak has been sealed off. Yun Fuyu and Seele bypassed the cordon and could observe that the situation was gradually calming down. The girl who had previously been afraid of Yun Fuyu was clinging to her mother and sobbing softly; she appeared to be unharmed.
Leave.
……
At the designated rendezvous point, on the rooftop of an abandoned high-rise building. After smashing open the iron gate and stepping onto the rooftop, Seele didn't need to search deliberately; she immediately sensed something unusual about the Honkai energy nearby.
Following the trail left by Honkai energy, after circling around a few times, Seele stopped and bent down to pick up a rubber-sized "stone".
It's obviously made by Velvi. Seele remembered the Fire Chaser social gathering not long ago, when Velvi had buried an electric catapult under the floorboards that unexpectedly hit her finger, and it hurt quite a bit. (It's not that I'm holding a grudge!)
So this time, Seele simply tossed the thing to Yun Fuyu. The latter smiled helplessly, gripped the "stone," and triggered Honkai energy—
The tiny stone trembled, and its camouflage layer immediately peeled away, revealing its true nature—a little genius children's smartwatch!
Well, actually it's a "specific one-way information receiving bracelet," a perfectly legitimate military device. It just comes with some minor bonuses like projecting movies and ordering takeout.
As they put on the bracelet, the bioelectric current activated the main unit, and the information left by Kevin was projected and displayed in front of them.
———Information Explanation Divider———
First, late last night, Sakura discovered a report: a reactor leak had occurred in a laboratory managed by Poison Chrysalis. This should have been a fairly normal accident, but Sakura was on edge at the time and subconsciously investigated further, only to find that the Poison Chrysalis team responsible for handling the reactor was the very team Sakura was planning to take down.
After further twists and turns, Sakura confirmed two things: First, the reactor hadn't been disposed of; its whereabouts were unknown, requiring extra attention. Second, the Poison Chrysalis faction might already be prepared for what she was about to do. That reactor might have been used to interfere with her actions.
Therefore, Sakura had no choice but to take action ahead of schedule.
After Kevin contacted Sakura and learned about the situation, he immediately joined forces with her and left the Little Genius Phone Watch to inform her of the situation. He also asked Yun and Xi to split up immediately, with Yun Fuyu coming to pick up Kevin and Xi to deal with the reactor.
—Back to the present—
Yun Fuyu stroked his chin: "That's quite a coincidence. We just happened to encounter the reactor and resolved it at lightning speed without alerting anyone."
Seele smiled slightly: "Perfect, we don't have to separate anymore."
Yun: "It's a pity we didn't find out who put the reactor in at the time. But never mind, getting Kevin and the others out is the priority."
Seele glanced at the projected map, lost in thought: "Although I don't know much about espionage, you see, this place is indeed very suitable for an ambush. I'm afraid Poison Chrysalis won't let this opportunity pass."
The alleyways are interconnected, with many shops along the street, but due to impending demolition and the lack of residents, it's not far from the base of the poisonous pupae...
Yun Fuyu shrugged: "I guess Sakura and Kevin are just trying to bait us. Let's not worry about it. We two are mainly responsible for the physical work, not the brains."
Seele smiled somewhat awkwardly. She just loved overthinking things. Great Detective Watson, Little Detective Seele—that's her character, you know?
……
Rushing to the designated location, just as he entered the alley, a hand grabbed Yun Fuyu's sleeve and forcefully pulled him into the hole!
Seele was stunned for a moment, then jumped into the basement. Once her vision adjusted, she began to observe her surroundings.
The hand that pulled Yun Fuyu in belonged to a pink-haired girl. Seele couldn't help but shudder at the sight of that color; she clearly had PTSD from seeing Alicia.
But upon closer inspection, this girl is not Alicia, but the legendary "Forget-Me-Not," Sakura.
Her long, flowing pink hair cascaded down her back, simply tied back with a hairband. The girl wore a venomous office uniform; the meticulously tailored garment accentuated her graceful curves, giving her a striking and sophisticated look.
In contrast, her greyish-purple eyes warily scanned her surroundings. A blue katana and scabbard hung at her waist, Sakura's right hand gripping the hilt, as if she were ready to strike at any moment.
Yun Fuyu coughed twice: "Um, Ying, hello, I'm Yun Fuyu, and this is Xi'er."
Sakura nodded demurely: "Yes, I've heard so much about you, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"?"
Are you being polite or telling the truth?
Seemingly noticing the question in Yun Fuyu's eyes, Ying smiled gently: "You two are the most dazzling stars of the Fire Moth recently. I've heard about you for a long time."
For example, their ambiguous relationship with the Herrscher, their frequent hospital visits due to their promiscuous lifestyle, Yun's provocation of Kevin only to be humiliated, Seele and Anise's fierce battle for a boyfriend... Okay, all of these are rumors with questionable veracity...
Yun Fuyu had no idea what Ying was thinking. He looked around and asked, "Where did Kevin go? Are you all alone here?"
Sakura: "Kevin went to deal with the tail. For now, it's just us and my sister Rin here."
Oh open?
He asked, "Why haven't I seen her?"
Sakura's expression remained calm: "To prevent her from causing trouble, I put some medicine in her food beforehand. She'll probably be unconscious for the whole day. Just treat her like luggage; she won't affect our operations."
...She's definitely my older sister.
Yun Fuyu chuckled twice: "Haha, that's really thoughtful... By the way, what's our mission? Do we need to prepare in advance?"
Sakura said calmly, "Kill. Be prepared. If you really can't accept it, you can leave the final blow to me."
Suddenly, Yun Fuyu seemed to smell a scent on Ying—not the fragrance of a young girl, but the smell of blood.
It has a fishy, sweet, and cloying taste that makes one's scalp tingle.
The number of people who died at Sakura's hands... even if we're being conservative, it's probably no less than three digits.
