When Fang Zheng arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Yaezakura fighting fiercely with the Honkai beasts.

Of course, although they are called Honkai beasts, they are not the big white crabs that Fang Zheng saw later. On the contrary, they look more like species that have been infected and mutated by the T virus.

Unlike the weak girl in Fang Zheng's previous impression, Yae Sakura now is more like a warrior. She holds a long sword and bravely fights against these Honkai beasts, and kills them with one strike when the opportunity arises. However, the number of these Honkai beasts still makes Yae Sakura a little overwhelmed. Although they are not as powerful as ordinary Honkai beasts, and they have not mutated into any special abilities, they are full of aggression - even a pig, if full of aggression, will give people a headache.

Yaezakura was clearly unable to hold on. Although she tried to ensure that the Honkai beasts would not enter the town, there were too many of them for Yaezakura to resist. She watched as several Honkai beasts broke through Yaezakura's obstruction and roared towards the town.

Seeing this, Yae Sakura secretly cried out that it was not good. However, just when she was about to turn around to resist, a whistling cold wind suddenly blew up, and in the blink of an eye, all the surrounding Honkai beasts were turned into ice sculptures. She turned her head and saw Fang Zheng holding Frostmourne in his hand and striding over.

"Mr. Yuuki!"

“Yo.”

Fang Zheng raised his hand and greeted Yaezakura.

"Rin asked me to come. Leave this to me. You go down and take a rest first. You can't resist these guys alone."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Yaezakura knew Fang Zheng's ability, so she was relieved to see him take action, and quickly stepped back. Then Fang Zheng held Frostmourne in his hand and waved it forward. Soon, the howling cold wind swept across the entire herd, freezing all the struggling and roaring Honkai beasts into ice sculptures. Then Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and then saw the ice sculptures suddenly explode, turning into dust and disappearing into the air.

"call……"

Seeing this, Yaezakura also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yuuki."

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, then looked into the depths of the woods and frowned. He had a feeling that this was not the end. That weird thing was probably still hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act...

The attack of Honkai Beast was stopped, but the danger still existed. Yae Sakura also notified every household, asking them not to go out at night to avoid danger. Then she kept her promise and made a delicious dinner for Fang Zheng and Kallen.

Kallen was also an honest child. She blamed herself for the town being attacked by Honkai beasts, and swore to everyone that she would find the demon sealed in the box and completely destroy it... Of course, it was impossible to set out overnight. So everyone decided to rest for a night and set out into the woods early the next morning to look for clues about the demon in the box.

After dinner, Karen returned to the guest room feeling a little tired. Just as she was about to rest, the door was pushed open again - this immediately alerted Karen, and she sat up and looked at the door. Fortunately, the person who came in was not the pervert from the daytime.

"Ah, Miss Yae...what do you want?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Karen, um... I have repaired your clothes."

As she spoke, Yae Sakura handed over the black monastic robe in her hand. Kallen took the robe and then lowered her head.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Yae. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been attacked by those Honkai beasts..."

"Please don't say that, Miss Kallen. No matter what, it's good that you can survive. As for those monsters... Since Mr. Yuki will take care of them, I think there will be no problem."

"Do you trust that man so much?"

Hearing this name, Karen's face suddenly fell. To her, he was just a pervert who peeped at her changing clothes!

"Of course, Ms. Kallen. After all, he is the savior of Rin and me."

"Savior?"

"yes……"

Yae Sakura also told Kallen about how she and Rin were rescued by Fang Zheng, and the latter was stunned after hearing it.

"There is such a thing..."

"Yes, so I believe that Mr. Yuki will definitely be able to solve these problems, and Miss Kallen, you don't need to worry about this... Well, it's late at night, please go to bed early."

As she spoke, Yae Sakura stood up and prepared to leave. Kallen also withdrew her gaze and began to think. Perhaps because she was too absorbed in the matter, Kallen did not notice that something was twisting in the shadow beside her. Then, the black shadow suddenly jumped out of the shadow and attacked Kallen!

"Ms. Karen, be careful!"

"Why?"

When Kallen came to her senses, she had already been pounced upon by Yae Sakura. When she looked closely, she found a black poisonous snake with its mouth wide open, biting Yae Sakura's arm tightly...

"…So, Sakura became like this in order to save you?"

Fang Zheng and Lin, who rushed over in response, were also stunned when they saw Yaesakura lying unconscious on the tatami in front of them. Fang Zheng frowned, carefully examined Yaesakura's wound, and then looked at Kallen.

"And the snake?"

"I, I don't know. After biting Miss Yae, the snake seemed to melt away suddenly..."

"Um……"

Fang Zheng carefully looked at the unconscious Yaezakura, then he suddenly reached out his hand and tore off Yaezakura's clothes before the two could react.

"Big brother?"

"What are you doing?!"

Yae Rin and Kallen were both shocked to see Fang Zheng suddenly tear open Yae Sakura's clothes, but soon, they were surprised to see that on Yae Sakura's body, there were bright red lines like cracks extending along her arms and even penetrating to her chest.

"This is?"

"Herrserk Corrosion, well, as expected, this thing is targeting Yaezakura."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Kallen was shocked.

"What does this mean?"

"You just said it, that the snake attacked you when you weren't paying attention, and then Sakura protected you and got bitten by it. But think about it carefully, if the snake's target was really you, it could have taken advantage of Sakura's absence and waited until you fell asleep before attacking. It had to wait until the two of you were together, so it probably wasn't going after you, but that's not the problem now..."

"Do you have any solution? If this continues, Miss Yae might..."

At this point, Kallen couldn't help but think of her colleagues who were corrupted by the black box and turned into assassins. If this continues, Yae Sakura will become the same as them!

"Let me give it a try. If I can enter her mind, I should be able to drive away the Herrscher."

"I want to go too!"

At this time, Kallen also spoke.

"Ms. Yae was attacked by that demon to protect me, so I have to help! I am the Valkyrie of Destiny, and I am capable of fighting!"

"Okay, you can come too... Well, Rin, please watch here."

"Okay, big brother, big sister, be careful..."

"no problem."

Fang Zheng said as he extended his hand to Kallen. Kallen hesitated for a moment and held the hand that Fang Zheng extended. Then Fang Zheng raised his other hand and placed it on Yaezakura's forehead.

The next moment, the world began to twist and spin, instantly swallowing up the two of them.

When Fang Zheng and Karen opened their eyes again, they were in a cold steel cell.

"What is this place? Is this Miss Yae's dream?"

Kallen looked around in confusion and asked, while Fang Zheng frowned.

"No, this doesn't seem like Yaezakura's dream."

The reason why Fang Zheng could make this judgment was very simple, because although the cell in front of him looked simple, the entire design was quite modern and even a bit futuristic. Yaezakura was a girl who lived in Japan 500 years ago. How could she have seen such a thing since she was a child?

At this moment, the tightly closed cell door suddenly opened, and a pink-haired girl walked in.

"Ms. Yae?!"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Karen screamed, and Fang Zheng blocked her. Obviously, although the girl in front of her looked exactly like Yaezakura, their outfits were completely different. At this moment, Hao A Nu was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, a modern outfit, and she had a pair of rabbit ears on her head...

"Are you the ones imprisoned here?"

Seeing Fang Zheng and Kallen, Yae Sakura asked as if she didn't know them. Fang Zheng made a gesture to Kallen, indicating her not to speak, and nodded.

"Who are you?"

"Don't be afraid, my name is Ying. What are your names?"

"My name is Yuuki Tadashi."

"Karen."

"Really..."

Hearing the two people's answers, the girl named Sakura nodded.

"I won't hurt you, but I want to ask you something. Have you seen the girl in the photo?"

As she spoke, Sakura took off the pendant on her chest, and then an image was projected in the air. It was a photo of Yae Sakura and Yae Rin, but unlike the two people in real life, they were both wearing quite modern clothes. Yae Rin also tied a single ponytail and smiled as she held her sister's arm.

"Why……?"

Seeing this scene, Karin subconsciously wanted to speak, but Fang Zheng was quick to grab her thigh and squeeze it hard, causing Karin to scream in pain and bend down to cover her mouth.

"I'm sorry, we haven't seen anyone else in the whole time we've been here."

"You haven't seen her? How come... Has anyone been here recently, or been taken away? Please, I have to find her!"

At this point, Ying's expression became more serious, and Fang Zheng quickly raised his hand.

"Please calm down, Miss Sakura, we really don't know where she was taken..."

"Sorry... I was too anxious."

Sakura also sighed and looked at the two of them.

"Come with me, I will take you out of here."

"I, we can help you!"

At this moment, Kallen also spoke hurriedly.

"We can help you find your sister. She's a very important person to you!"

"this……"

"No problem, Miss Sakura."

Fang Zheng also looked at Ying and spoke.

"If you help us, then we will help you... and there is strength in numbers, so it will be easier to find your sister."

"Thank you."

Hearing the two people talking, Sakura smiled.

"Then let's get out of here first."

After saying this, Sakura turned and left the cell, while Kallen pulled Fang Zheng.

"Wait, what's going on? Is this Miss Yae's dream? Why can't she recognize us at all? And she and Rin are dressed weirdly too. Where on earth is this place?"

"I don't know."

Facing Kallen's question, Fang Zheng shook his head.

"But I am sure that this is definitely not an ordinary dream."
