Fu Hua looked at the place where Su and An Qi disappeared, and held the leaf tightly. There was a hint of loss in her clear gray eyes.
Chapter 245 Leaving Hope
"mother!!"
With a scream, Bronya woke up from her nightmare.
As I stood up violently, I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
Bronya was stunned for a moment, then she opened the collar of her hospital gown and saw a snow-white bandage wrapped around her chest. However, the fatal penetration wound in her memory was not torn, and no blood seeped out of the bandage.
"Don't move. Although the wound has healed well, if you tear it violently, it will easily leave scars in the future."
Mei Raiden stood up and gently pushed Bronya, who had a confused look in her eyes, back onto the bed.
At this moment, the previous memories came flooding back to her mind. Bronya was stunned for a long time and asked:
"How's Mama Cocolia? And Angie? Where is she?"
"Hey, the first thing you said was that you cared about me. It seems like you haven't forgotten about me, your adoptive mother."
The curtain next to it was slowly pulled open by a beautiful girl with long hair and pink eyes wearing a non-commissioned officer's uniform, revealing Cocolia's smiling and charming face, and the laptop computer in front of her that she was working on.
Bronya felt relieved and turned to the girl standing by the curtain, looking at the tall and pretty military officer who was trying hard to look serious.
"You are... Sister Anna who often comes to our house for meals?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Anna coughed violently a few times.
Then, under the subtle gazes of Mei Raiden, Theresa, and Himeko who had just entered, Anna pretended to be calm and explained with a straight face:
"I went to report the situation to Lady Cocolia and stayed for dinner. I didn't eat for free."
Well, the food at Lady Cocolia's house is quite delicious, and the mother and daughter also feed delicious snacks from time to time. There is no need to explain these situations in detail in front of the people in Saint Freya.
As a member of the Iron Ranger Team and a rising star in the East China Sea Base, Anna still knows that she must maintain her image in front of outsiders. As the saying goes, family shame should not be made public!
Bronya only said this subconsciously. She was not in the mood to investigate further or tease him. She looked at Cocolia and said:
"Mom, are you okay now? Are you seriously injured?"
"It's OK. Apart from losing an arm, everything else is fine."
Cocolia waved her empty right sleeve, but her left hand was still typing on the keyboard, her eyes fixed on the screen, giving off the aura of a model boss who never gave up on life and career.
Jizi couldn't help but glance at Theresa.
Theresa shrank her neck weakly and turned her face away, not daring to face Ji Zi's gaze.
Ji Zi shook her head and sighed, then carried the food box to the table next to her and placed the food on it one by one.
"Bronya just woke up. It's lunch time. Let's eat."
Jizi spoke calmly, without her usual optimism and confidence, as if she had lost her emotions. And Bronya noticed that there were red and swollen marks around Jizi's eyes from crying.
"So, what about Angie?"
Despite sensing everyone's gloomy mood, Bronya still had to ask the question.
Ji Zi paused and said in a faint voice:
"Fu Hua and You Lan Dai'er said that she was taken away by a senior from a previous civilization, and she will come back when she recovers."
The air seemed to freeze in an instant.
Except for the sound of Cocolia typing on the keyboard, the whole room was silent.
Even Anna, who was not involved in the incident, silently zipped up her mouth and dared not say a word.
Lunch started and ended in silence.
Afterwards, Jizi came to Bronya's bed and sat down. She pinched Bronya's shoulders, with a smile on her face.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I feel like I'm almost feeling better."
"Because the medicine Cocolia gave you is very effective, and Angie avoided the fatal spot. You, Mei, and even Cocolia are the same. They look serious, but if they are treated in time, nothing will happen. As for that child, I can't do it."
Bronya opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to say turned into a sore throat and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Well, Bronya understands. Angie is... just that kind of person."
It looks like revenge, but in fact, while fighting against the Herrscher consciousness, he is still trying his best to protect them.
Not only was it impossible for Bronya and Raiden Mei to feel any sympathy, but the more they felt the pain from their wounds, the more they felt distressed for Angel's tolerance and restraint.
This is indeed the case.
Angel was talking about revenge, but she not only avoided the key points, but even Cocolia happened to have the best healing medicine on her. In the end, it was more like a fight, just a little more intense, that's all.
Bronya took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and said to Raiden Mei, who looked lost and had sadness in her eyes:
"So how does Mei feel now?"
"I'm much better than you and Cocolia. After all, I'm a Herrscher. I don't know if I can revive with my core like Teacher Yang did even if I lost my body, but this kind of injury has no effect on me."
Mei Raiden grabbed her wrist and gave Bronya a bitter smile, looking a little distraught.
Rather, Raiden Mei really hoped that Angie would be stabbed a few more times before leaving, that way, perhaps Angie would feel better.
Ji Zi took the hands of the two people and let out a long sigh when she saw that they only showed concern but no dissatisfaction.
"Thank you. You suffered."
As a teacher, Jizi should treat everyone equally. But this time, Jizi had no choice but to side with Anqi, not wanting Anqi to be excluded because of this incident.
The result was just as Ji Zi expected, they were all good kids and could understand An Qi's difficulties.
"According to past rules, becoming a Herrscher generally requires one to experience despair first. It is hard for me to imagine how Angie managed to hold on during that period when she knew the truth but still had to put on a brave face... I was so stupid. There were so many opportunities to pull her out, but I just watched that child sink until she became what she is today."
Ji Zi's eyes dimmed.
Her tears had dried up in the past two days, but what tortured her even more was that at this point she had no idea how to help Angie, and she didn't even know where Angie was.
The sound of Cocolia's keyboard tapping paused.
After a moment, she closed her eyes to hide her emotions, and then said nonchalantly:
"I got some information about the former civilization warrior and sent it to Bronya's phone. If you are worried, you can take a look. From what I know, that person is trustworthy. Besides, he has a 50,000-year friendship with the Red Iris Immortal. No matter what, he will not embarrass the Immortal's disciples."
These words were like a surprise from heaven to the directionless people of Saint Freya.
They gathered together and couldn't wait to read the information compiled by Cocolia.
After a long time, their emotions were obviously much calmer, and they all looked at Cocolia with gratitude.
"Thank you, Mama Cocolia."
"No thanks. This is about the Herrscher, so I have to check. It's just for convenience."
"It's not just because of this information, but also because you have been helping and protecting us throughout this incident. Without mom's help, there wouldn't be such a good result, and Angie might have suffered even more."
"Tsk! You keep talking about Anqi Anqi. Can't you just care about yourself and your mother?"
Cocolia glared at Bronya with a fierce look on her face, as if she was jealous.
Bronya lowered her head guiltily, not daring to speak.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little more cheerful. At least, some people were able to laugh.
The impact of Angel's departure will certainly continue, but at least she left as much hope as possible, making everything seem not so bad. In this way, Saint Freya can still live a good life, and they can also cheer up and wait for Angel to reappear.
Chapter 246 It’s so great...Huh?
"Neko charm!"
The giant cat claw that materialized the energy of collapse slashed down from the air, carrying with it a mighty momentum that could split mountains and split rocks.
Fu Hua put one hand behind her back and formed her other hand into a sword finger. She waved her hand lightly to block the attack that was at the level of an A-grade Valkyrie. Then her figure flashed and her fingertips went towards Kiana's forehead who had just landed.
Kiana: “!!”
Roll.
Catch the wolf jump and then split.
The bullet also burst out of the barrel.
Fu Hua's finger missed, but she nodded in her heart.
'Although they are not very elegant, these skills are quite practical. I wonder how she developed them. Is it the family tradition passed down from generation to generation in the Kaslana family?'
Fu Hua admired this practical skill, and then drew a trajectory in the air with her sword fingers that was completely invisible to the naked eye, deflecting all attacks as if it were nothing.
Finally, the sword finger was gently placed on Kiana's forehead.
"Oh!"
The girl with white hair and white clothes was blasted against the wall by the huge force. She stayed in the wall for a few seconds and then fell to the ground, panting and sweating profusely.
Kiana rested for half a minute and wanted to get up to continue training, but the soreness and weakness from every muscle in her body made her unable to move.
"Okay, that's all for today. You've reached your limit. If you continue, it will damage your foundation and be detrimental to your growth."
Fu Hua sighed, came to Kiana, knelt down beside her, picked up her head, gently placed it on her legs, and handed her homemade light salt water.
This set of movements originated from An Qi.
The main reason is that Kiana is impulsive and gets too excited on the training ground from time to time, working herself to exhaustion.
At this time, Angel will provide a knee pillow and wrist support.
After doing it many times, Mei Raiden and Fu Hua also did this, because it really worked wonders on Kiana, and now it has become a standard posture for taking care of Kiana.
Kiana replenished her water and salt intake, and her exhausted strength recovered. Then, she felt the softness and elasticity of Fu Hua's thighs, smelled Fu Hua's delicate body fragrance that had never changed from beginning to end, and said:
"Squad leader."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Am I really that weak? In the past two days, you haven't even broken a sweat, let alone been injured."
"Because I don't need to pretend to be an A-rank Valkyrie. You all know my identity, so I can naturally show my due strength."
That’s right, I won’t pretend anymore!
The Heavenly Fire suppressed the East China Sea for a lifetime. It was certainly stronger than one could imagine, but I, the Red Ibis Immortal, can do the same!
I am invincible under Kevin, and one for one above Kevin, this is the value of the Shenzhou Immortal!
But what's the use? I still couldn't protect my little disciple at home.
Fu Hua did not feel proud of the fact that her strength was approaching its peak. Instead, the more she thought about it, the more lost and depressed she felt.
Kiana raised her hand, covered her eyes, and sighed softly.
"Monitor, I found that I have been getting a very important issue wrong all along."
"What is it?"
"It's not that I convinced the Herrscher of the Void, and then I could become stronger and protect Angie. It's that I had to make myself stronger first, and then I could communicate and negotiate with the Herrscher of the Void, and then I could protect Angie... I got the order wrong and turned a good situation into a farce. I only figured this out after Angie got into trouble. I'm so stupid and useless."
The girl, her heart filled with regret, sobbed as she spoke out her realization after much reflection.
And Fu Hua finally understood why Kiana was so persistent in dragging her to stay in the training ground after returning to Saint Freya.
"You've grown up, Kiana."
"But it's too late. If I had understood it earlier, if I had started working harder earlier, maybe I could have helped Angie! These past two days I've been thinking that if I had encountered the same situation as Angie, I would have gone crazy. But Angie didn't. Even though she was forced into such a desperate situation, she still tried her best to protect us... Why couldn't I understand it earlier? Damn it! I'm a waste!"
Kiana cried and howled while pounding the floor, her mind overwhelmed by regret and sorrow, like a broken child.
And such a loud crying often means real growing up.
Fu Hua did not stop Kiana from venting. When Kiana covered her face and cried, she just leaned over and hugged the collapsed girl tightly in her arms.
"It's okay. Angie will come back. It's not too late to start working hard now. Just stand by her side next time."
Fu Hua comforted Kiana with clumsy words, feeling a little relieved.
As long as she can reflect and repent, it will be good for everyone if Angel's temporary departure can help Kiana grow stronger. I think Angel will be happy if she knows this, right?
