When Fang Zheng and his group arrived at the target location, it was already late at night.

"Is this where Bronya and the others are being held captive?"

Looking at the building in front of him, Fang Zheng asked, and Theresa beside him nodded.

"Yes, the intelligence department has confirmed that Mei, Bronya, and Wendy, who were captured by Anti-Entropy, are currently being held in the ME headquarters building. As you can see, the ME headquarters is heavily guarded, so you must find a way to sneak in."

Hearing this, Kiana clenched her fists and waved them vigorously.

"Don't worry, we will definitely rescue Mei and the others, Aunt Theresa!"

"Who are you calling auntie?"

The moment Theresa heard Kiana's answer, she was furious, and Kiana finally reacted and quickly stuck out her tongue.

"Yes, I'm sorry... Principal."

“Haha… never mind.”

Theresa sighed helplessly, then spoke again.

"Mr. Yuuki, what are you going to do?"

“It’s very simple.”

Hearing Theresa's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"Ms. Theresa, you know what? Civilization is a very fragile thing."

"Why?"

Theresa was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Fang Zheng was talking about, while Fang Zheng walked forward leisurely and spoke.

"Especially in modern society, advanced technology has brought convenience to people, but this convenience also brings vulnerability... just like this."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his finger and lightly tapped his personal terminal.

“——!”

The next moment, in front of everyone, the building that was originally brightly lit suddenly became dark. At the same time, the drones and mechas responsible for patrolling outside seemed to have lost their power and fell to the ground motionless.

"Why?"

Seeing this scene, Kiana screamed in surprise, and Theresa was also shocked.

"What did you do?"

"I hacked into the command network of the ME headquarters, overloaded their power core, shut down all early warning systems, and locked the security door, cutting off their communications. Now these guys can only stay in their rooms and can't go anywhere."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked forward, passing through the drones and robots that were silent and looked like a pile of junk, and arrived at the gate of ME Company. Then he heard a "swish" sound, and the gate of ME Company, which had been tightly locked, opened instantly, as if Fang Zheng was the owner of the place.

"That's amazing, Mr. Yuuki!"

Seeing this, Kiana shouted out in excitement. She had thought there would be a fierce battle, but she didn't expect Fang Zheng to completely paralyze the entire ME Company's security system with just a few easy moves of his fingers.

Compared to Kiana, Theresa was more surprised. Although she was not an expert in this area, Theresa knew that the network of ME headquarters must be heavily guarded. However, facing the main network of ME, Fang Zheng didn't even spend any effort to hack into the network easily, and even seized the management authority?

Is this the strength of a cosmic civilization?

If Theresa had not felt anything real before, then this scene was enough to make her understand how big the technological gap was between her world and the other side.

But on the other hand... since the other party was able to invade ME's network system so easily, it means that Tianming's network is probably defenseless to him...

Thinking of this, Theresa was silent for a moment, but still hurriedly followed.

After all, since the other party would demonstrate this technique in front of him, he obviously knew this. There would probably be no point in continuing to speculate here.

"Where are we going next, Yuuki-san?"

Kiana didn't know what Theresa was thinking. She followed Fang Zheng into the empty hall, looked around with her guns in hand, and asked.

"Hmm...According to my search just now, Bronya and Mei are in the research room on the third floor. They must be locked up at the moment. As for the lady named Wendy, she is in the monitoring room on the first basement floor."

Fang Zheng glanced at his personal terminal and gave an answer.

"Then let's split into two groups."

Theresa also spoke at this time.

"Mr. Yuuki, you and Kiana go rescue Mei and the others, and I'll go rescue Wendy."

"Are you okay?"

Looking at Theresa's petite body, Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't Wendy say she's become something like... a Herrscher? That thing must be very powerful, right? Can you handle it?"

"I am also a Valkyrie, don't underestimate me, and..."

Having said this, Theresa hesitated and bit her lip.

"If Wendy is truly beyond redemption, then I will take responsibility..."

After saying that, Theresa turned and ran towards the stairs - but as soon as she took a step, she was grabbed by Fang Zheng.

"Wait, this isn't a good idea. You said you were here to save someone, but you ended up killing her?"

"This is also my responsibility. I was the one who recommended her to have the Desire Gem transplanted. So no matter what Wendy has become now, it is my responsibility. I must be responsible for it!"

"have to……"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Then I'll go. You go and rescue Mei and the others with Kiana. Leave this Wendy to me. I promise to bring her back to you in one piece."

Fang Zheng actually had no choice but to do this, because Kiana was right next to him! What is the most important thing for a magical girl? It is to be able to achieve any miracle, so that it can bring confidence. Theresa is a Valkyrie, but she is not as "naive" as a magical girl. It is certain that if the last girl named Wendy is overly eroded by Honkai or loses her mind, Theresa will definitely take responsibility and kill her.

But this wouldn't work. If she killed the person, it would be fine. But what if it left some psychological trauma on Kiana? Then how could she go on with her plan to train a magical girl?

"you?"

"There has to be some hope. I'll go."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Theresa hesitated for a moment, but in the end she nodded as if possessed by a ghost.

"Well... okay, Wendy's in your hands."

"Oh, leave it to me."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, then turned and walked down the stairs. Theresa watched him disappear from the room, then sighed and regained her serious expression.

"Let's go, Kiana!"

"Okay! Aunt Theresa!"

"I told you not to call me auntie!!!"

Hearing Theresa's voice faintly coming from the stairs, Fang Zheng also laughed, and then he walked down. Although Fang Zheng was in the ME company building for the first time, he had already hacked into the headquarters' network and downloaded the map before he came here, so it didn't take much time for Fang Zheng to come to a room deep in the underground floor. Here, the door was also locked, and there were even many huge mechas standing outside. Obviously, they were here to guard - or to guard something.

If these mechas were functioning normally, it would not be easy to rush in, but now these mechas have been completely shut down, so naturally there is no threat.

Walking to the door, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment, the door opened with a swish, and Fang Zheng walked in.

Then he saw a girl sitting in a wheelchair, staring at him in surprise.

"You are... Wendy?"

Fang Zheng opened his personal terminal and checked the intelligence information.

"I am... may I ask... who are you?"

The girl in the wheelchair was obviously a little overwhelmed by Fang Zheng's arrival. She stared at him cautiously and then asked.

"My name is Yuuki Masaru, and I'm here to save you."

Fang Zheng said this while looking at Wendy.

"Save me?"

"That's right, Theresa, Kiana and I are here to rescue people. They're going to rescue Bronya and Mei, and I'm responsible for finding you...Okay, let's go, let's leave here and meet up with Theresa..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked forward and tried to push Wendy's wheelchair away, but this time, Wendy shook her head and refused him.

"Thank you, but... it's too late."

She lowered her head and spoke.

"Too late?"

"I... have become a Herrscher... I can feel that terrible power is eroding me... I no longer have the confidence to hold on."

Having said this, Wendy clenched her teeth and her body trembled slightly.

"Please take me to apologize to Sister Bronya. I know... she was controlled at that time... I..."

"You should go and tell her about this yourself. How can one or two people feel like leaving a will?"

Fang Zheng interrupted Wendy directly, but the latter shook her head.

"No, I really can't hold on any longer. I am also a Valkyrie. Protecting everyone is my mission, even if it means sacrificing myself... I... That's right... That's it... That's it...!!!"

The next moment, accompanied by Wendy's scream, a howling gale instantly erupted with her as the center, and then Fang Zheng saw the girl sitting in the wheelchair suddenly fly up and float in the air. She opened her arms and her face was gloomy.

"Why? Why must I be the one to die? No, it shouldn't be like this! I don't want to die! It is fate that has ruined my life! I will completely destroy them all! It shouldn't be me who should die, but..."

“Hua La La La…”

At this moment, suddenly, the shadows in the entire room began to twist. Under the light, the shadows kept twisting, like waves stacking up one after another. But Wendy, who had transformed into the Herrscher of the Wind, was unaware of this. She sneered at Fang Zheng and stretched out her hand.

"What a shame, you shouldn't have come here, but now that's all you have to do is wuwuwuwu...!!"

However, before Wendy could finish her words, the shadow behind her suddenly moved, and then several tentacles condensed from the shadow suddenly jumped out, grabbed Wendy and wrapped her tightly. The next moment, before Wendy could make any more movements, she was pulled into the shadow by the tentacles and disappeared like sinking into a swamp.

"You're playing with mental pollution, huh?"

It was not until this time that Fang Zheng, with his arms folded, laughed.

"Then let's see who is better at mental pollution."
