"Daddy~ From now on, you're Sirin's daddy~"
Although she didn't witness her own "yandere" appearance firsthand, Sirin perfectly embodied the "yandere" persona.
As it turns out, Qiu Bi's dream of Xilin becoming "yandere" was not without factual basis.
Hearing the familiar words ringing in his ears, Qiu Bi subconsciously shivered, as if recalling the bizarre dream he had just experienced.
"oops!"
Before Qiu Bi could speak, Cecilia reached out and gently tapped Xilin's head, instantly breaking Xilin's composure.
"Cirin, stop fooling around!"
"Waaah~ Sirin knows!"
Celine clutched her head, and even though Cecilia hadn't hit her hard, she still looked like she was in pain.
Cecilia looked at Sirin with a doting expression, gently pinched her nose, and then asked, "So...darling, you think this dream was the work of the Herrscher?"
“Hmm.” Qiu Bi glanced at Xilin almost imperceptibly, then analyzed, “As far as I know, the ‘Herrscher of Knowledge’ can cause nightmares. It’s possible this is someone’s prank. Besides that, it could also be…”
Perhaps realizing that Qiu Bi was alluding to her, Sirin quickly spoke up to clear her name: "It wasn't Sirin who did it~ Although Sirin has the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Daddy also has the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, so Sirin can't influence Daddy."
Both Qiu Bi and Xi Lin possess the core of the Herrscher of Consciousness, which allows them to influence the consciousness of others, but they have difficulty in influencing the consciousness of their own partner.
Cecilia, of course, knew about this, so she asked curiously, "Darling, what else could it be?"
“I’m not sure if she really exists—she was born during the Black Death that broke out in Europe in the 14th century, and could be described as ‘the embodiment of death’ or ‘the embodiment of nightmares’.”
That was a girl named "Anila," born with "Nightmare" and dwelling within "Nightmare," with no definite way to eliminate her.
It is worth mentioning that the birth of Anila was full of "coincidence" and "drama".
Because of the Black Death, people vented their anger on wild cats, causing all the wild cats to die.
Thus, the resentment of the wildcats before their deaths gathered together, and under the influence of Honkai energy, it eventually formed a special entity called "Anila".
—It seems to be a law enforcer, but it does not possess the clear powers of a law enforcer.
Chapter 133 Bella's Surprise
Cecilia was hearing about the special existence of "Anila" for the first time, and she was immediately amazed.
In the publicly known historical events, there has never been anything like this, nor has it been mentioned in the slightest.
"I don't know if it actually exists..."
Qiu Bi sighed softly.
Although he knew that the world he was in was a combination of Honkai Impact 2 and Honkai Impact 3rd, he still couldn't be sure whether some things really existed.
For example, the "Familiar Continent" in Honkai Impact 2, and the "Paradise of the Past" in Honkai Impact 3rd...
"Maria Schariac" and "Angelia Schariac" do not exist in "Honkai Impact 3rd", and "Grey Snake" and "World Snake" do not exist in "Honkai Gakuen 2".
"Then why not contact the Bishop of Destiny and inquire whether there is anything you know about?"
Cecilia pulled Qiu Bi off the keyboard and then put the keyboard back into her "portable space".
Qiu Bi silently took out his communication device and began contacting Otto.
Although it is late at night and it is unclear whether Otto is resting, it doesn't matter. Otto will answer the call immediately after hearing the communication ring.
If there is no answer, it means that Otto and Karen are resting.
Qiu Bi didn't have to wait long; Otto quickly answered the call he had made.
"Qiu Bi, it's been a long time—is there something you need that you've suddenly called me for?"
"Is such that……"
Qiu Bi carefully considered his words and inquired about the Black Death that broke out in Europe in the 14th century.
Otto paused for a few seconds, seemingly not expecting Qiu Bi to ask about the Black Death.
He then told Qiu Bi what he knew.
"Then do you know about the 'nightmare incarnation' of the Black Death?"
"Qiu Bi, how did you find out about this?"
“I’ve always known about these things, but I may have encountered the ‘nightmare incarnation’ now, so I’m asking you some questions.”
After hearing this, Otto pondered for a few seconds, and then recounted what he knew in detail.
Otto knew the same things as Chubi, but this only proved the existence of "Anila".
Because "Anila" appeared alongside "nightmare," the only way for Destiny at the time to suppress its spread was through massacres or sealing.
After all, Schicksal had only recently come into contact with the "Honkai" at that time. If Otto had not used the power of the "Void Archives" to develop a cure for the Black Death through human experiments, the world might have been ravaged by the Black Death for a long time.
After the Black Death was completely eradicated, Anila, the "nightmare incarnate," disappeared without warning, as if the previous devastation had been nothing but a dream.
"Qiu Bi, should we send a Valkyrie to assist you?"
Otto knew that the Valkyries could not help Qiu Bi and the others; his words were merely an expression of his concern for them.
Qiu Bi is surrounded by five Herrschers and five S-rank Valkyries, and has also formed a magical girl army.
If this lineup can't defeat the resurrected "Anila," then the Valkyries are just going to their deaths.
"No need for this."
Qiu Bi politely declined, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the call.
He then put away his communication device and sat on the edge of the bed, frowning in thought.
Not long after, as if remembering something, Xilin suddenly clenched her right fist and gently tapped her left palm.
"Dad, isn't that 'Anila' born from the resentment of a stray cat when it died?"
"Well, what happened?"
“If that’s the case…” Sirin hesitated for a second, then continued, “Because of today’s torrential rain, many wild animals in Academy City have died tragically, which might really attract ‘Anila’.”
When magical girls encounter suffering wild animals, they usually choose to lend a helping hand and rescue the wild animals to a safe place.
Unfortunately, Academy City is home to a large number of wild animals. Although there are many magical girls, their primary focus is on rescuing humans, which results in many wild animals still dying tragically.
Not to mention, floods are often followed by major epidemics, which undoubtedly fulfills the conditions for the emergence of something like "Anila".
"We can only wait until the rainstorm ends..."
Qiu Bi sighed softly, no longer feeling sleepy.
Upon hearing this, Xilin nodded, then yawned sleepily.
"Dad, then Celine will go back to sleep now!"
Sirin casually tore open a purple hole, then added, "Don't worry, Dad, Sirin will have the magical girls help search for any trace of 'Anila' tomorrow."
sound off.
Before Qiu Bi could answer, Xilin had already disappeared into the purple hole.
"Darling, you can leave it to Celine with peace of mind."
Cecilia took Qiu Bi's arm and gently comforted her, "Cilin has the ability to handle these things."
"Ah."
Qiu Bi responded softly, then leaned against Cecilia, seemingly lost in thought.
Cecilia maintained a gentle smile, then looked at Ray and said, "Mei, go to Bella's room to sleep."
Lei nodded obediently, then left the bedroom, leaving Qiu Bi and Cecilia alone.
……
When Ray tiptoed into Bella's room, he discovered that Bella had already opened her eyes.
"Um... Sister Bella, aren't you asleep?"
"I was sleeping, but I was woken up by Sirin's voice."
Bella sat up, reached for the bedside lamp, and asked, "Shadow, what happened?"
Bella knows the difference between "Raiden Mei" and "Raiden Movie," so she can immediately recognize that Raiden Movie is controlling her body.
Perhaps because Bella possesses four Herrscher cores, or perhaps because Bella also possesses the powers of the Herrscher of Thunder, the movie's performance was somewhat restrained, recounting the events that had occurred earlier in a detailed manner.
When Bella heard that Raiden Mei had accidentally bitten Qiu Bi, she, like Cecilia, showed a surprised expression.
"Ying, you...you didn't think it was ice cream or a lollipop, did you?"
Bella hesitated for a second or two before tentatively asking.
Lei's face flushed red, as if he were ashamed, and he quickly shook his hand to indicate that he did not do it on purpose.
"Luckily you didn't really bite, otherwise..." Bella didn't continue, but changed the subject, "Speaking of which, did Cecilia really say that? That you'll be allowed to get close to Qiu Bi after you turn eighteen?"
“Hmm.” Lei Yingdong nodded, then guessed, “I think…it’s probably because of Sister Bella, right?”
Upon hearing this, Bella paused for a moment, then remained silent.
Strictly speaking, this could indeed be attributed to Bella...
Without Bella's precedent, Cecilia would never have agreed to this.
Chapter 134 Anila
The heavy rain in Academy City lasted for three days before gradually subsiding.
As the saying goes, a great epidemic is sure to follow a flood, and Academy City did indeed experience a great epidemic.
Therefore, Qiu Bi had not yet had a holiday before throwing himself back into his busy work.
Fortunately, this "major epidemic" was not very serious; it only spread rapidly and did not pose a significant threat.
In addition, Qiu Bi has been having nightmares frequently recently. Although the content of each nightmare is different, he is indeed deeply troubled by nightmares.
If Qiu Bi hadn't possessed "Endurance Boost (normal level for an S-rank Valkyrie)," she might not have been able to endure this nightmare-like situation.
As the heavy rain subsided, Academy City gradually resumed operations, and schools reopened, allowing Qiu Bi's daughters to return to school.
