Chapter 243 Sakura's Mental Breakdown
Kevin walked towards Ying step by step, and then the person in front of him suddenly disappeared, which shocked Kevin, the strongest warrior in the pre-civilization era, "...What!?"
He turned around instinctively, only to find that Sakura, who should have been standing in front of him, was already behind him.
Sakura ran deeper into the passage without looking back. At the same time, the alarm sounded at an inopportune time.
Kevin: "Attack alarm? It's not from her, it's from another floor, no good...!"
Then Dr. Mei's voice came from the communicator. Because the Herrscher had awakened, Kevin had to attack immediately. Naturally, Kevin did not chase Sakura, but turned around to solve the trouble brought by the Herrscher.
[Kiana] "What just happened? Ying went directly behind Elder Kevin!"
[Padofils (Paradise)] "Wow, as expected of Sister Sakura, even Boss Kevin was surprised!"
[Raiden Mei] "Have they reached a speed that is invisible to the naked eye? So amazing! As expected, they are the only fusion warriors left from the previous civilization. Each one of them is extraordinary."
[Lei Movie] "I didn't expect that even I couldn't see her movements clearly. Her strength is stronger than I thought. At least I can't beat her in terms of speed."
[Kujo Sara] "Even the general can't see clearly. This is one of the Thirteen Heroes."
[Bronya] "This is [Setsuna]... the real name."
[Yae Sakura] "You look a lot like me, but your abilities are so different. It seems like my training is not enough. I need to work harder."
[Paimon] "The alarm just now..."
[Traveler Ying] "I have a bad feeling."
The video continues, and Sakura, who successfully escaped, encountered many assassins. After observation, she found that these assassins were all from the base.
While having doubts, Sakura continued to go to the 33rd underground floor. Along the way, Sakura encountered many dead men, but these dead men were nothing in front of Sakura as a fusion warrior.
After getting rid of the assassins who were blocking her way, Ying entered the 33rd underground floor and rushed through the corridors, her figure passing through one iron door after another. The increasingly intense alarms constantly stimulated the girl's nerves.
Ying (Hurry up, faster. Ling, where are you?)
The blood on the ground stimulated Sakura all the time, making her faster, and soon Sakura found the confinement room where Ling was imprisoned.
Sakura: "Rin! I'm here to save you!"
The door of the detention room was not locked. Ying broke in and could not wait to look deeper into the room...
At some point, Ying fell to her knees, staring blankly at the scene in front of her without a trace of light in her eyes.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the scene in his eyes impacted his brain, leaving a deep imprint in the depths of his consciousness.
[Bai Xier] "What, what! She, she..."
[Paimon] "Wow! Traveler, this looks scary! That must be Sakura's sister... How could it be..."
[Qin] "Keli, close your eyes quickly, no more!"
[Lisa] "Don't worry, I've already covered it for little Keri in advance."
[Kelly] "What happened?"
[Qin] "Huh, that's good..."
【Xilin】“How could this happen? Who did this?”
[Captain] "How could you do such a cruel thing to a little girl."
[Stargazing] "Mr. Assassin! I am not a child anymore. Please take your hands off my eyes."
[Higyamaru] "So this is what I was like back then... Sister..."
[Yae Sakura] "How much injustice did you suffer at that time..."
[Higyokumaru] "It's okay, big sister, it's okay..."
The situation in the video reminded Yae Sakura of five hundred years ago, when her Rin also died tragically in front of her. It was also at that time that she was filled with deep malice towards the people of Yae Village.
The shocking scars seemed to tell of the girl's despair in her final moments. It was hard to imagine what kind of person would do such a demonic act.
But even if we knew who it was, it would be meaningless.
In the space, there was only bottomless malice, which made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
Sakura: "Rin...if...if I could be faster..."
Sakura, who suffered a mental breakdown, sat on the ground in a daze, and had no reaction to the swarm of assassins that kept pouring in.
[Higyokumaru] "Sister! Watch out behind you!"
When Hiyomaru saw countless assassins rushing towards Sakura in the video, she hurried to remind her, but... there was no way that her voice could be heard by Sakura in the video.
Fortunately, the red flames swept over, burning the dead soldiers into ashes and scattering them in the air. In the center of the fire storm, stood a white-haired man.
Kevin looked at the scene in front of him in silence. After confirming that there were no enemies left, Kevin put away his sword and the flames went out.
Kevin slowly walked towards the collapsed girl "Yakura..."
……
Kevin's call went unanswered. The girl in front of him seemed to have fallen into an invisible abyss with her dead sister.
He thought she would be surprised, confused, angry, and crying. He imagined countless possibilities.
But now, Sakura just sat there quietly, refusing to wake up no matter how others called her.
Kevin shook his head slightly, connected the communication channel, reported to Mei the situation on the 33rd underground floor, and then waited for Mei's reinforcements.
[Funina] "The Herrscher you just mentioned... and Ling was judged to be a Herrscher. Could it be that Sakura's sister was killed by the Herrscher's consciousness?"
[Claulinde] "But the scars on her body look more like the work of a human."
[Kevin] "Unbeknownst to us, the soldiers in the base executed her without authorization, but this awakened the Herrscher."
[Bai Xier] "If those soldiers hadn't killed her, this tragedy wouldn't have happened!"
[Kiana] "So this is all the soldiers' own fault!"
[Aratake Ichito] "If that white-haired old man hadn't stood in front of Sakura, this tragedy might have been prevented."
[Aponia (Paradise)] "It's useless. No matter if Kevin stood in front of Ying at that time, Ling's fate of being brutally killed by those soldiers would not change."
[Thousand Tribulations (Paradise)] "Aponia! You are also responsible for this matter! Because you imposed discipline on those scum, they would not do such a thing! One day! I will definitely kill you! Aponia!"
[Yulan Dell] "What does this have to do with Miss Aponia?"
[Mebius (Elysium)] "Under the influence of the commandments and the fear of Honkai, those poor little mice privately executed Ling, who was imprisoned because she had a high chance of becoming a Herrscher."
[Alicea (Elysian Land)] "But, Aponya, you are not wrong. You don't have to feel guilty. Your original intention was good, but none of us expected something like this to happen."
"So…don't feel bad about that, okay?"
