Gathering the soft and boneless Kiana into his arms, Leo didn't rush to sleep. Instead, he opened her attribute panel.
Now that the little head was satisfied, it was time to satisfy his own rabbit head as well.
Speaking of which, he really hadn't looked at Kiana's stats yet—
[Kiana]
[Level: 3]
[Current Bond: Max!]
[Current Favorability: 85 (Lover)]
[Strength: 9]
[Constitution: 9]
[Energy: 9]
[Agility: 9]
[Honkai energy: 9]
[Ability: Valkyrie Protection · Enters an explosive state and slightly heals self and surrounding teammates. Holy Light · Clears negative effects from self and surrounding teammates.]
[—The incompleteness of the soul prevents her from retaining any power.]
Thanks to the reinforcement from the soul fragments, Kiana's stats had improved somewhat. Even her [Energy], which was a disadvantageous stat, had reached 9 points.
But just as the system evaluated, her soul, riddled with holes, still couldn't retain any energy.
The most urgent matter for her right now was to collect soul fragments as soon as possible.
However, this level... what did it mean?
Looking at this level that provided no increase to Kiana's stats, Leo couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
Or perhaps, there was actually an improvement, but because Kiana's current state couldn't retain any power, it didn't show?
In short, since Tongzi didn't give a prompt, Leo could only temporarily give up thinking about it.
Besides... even a small grasshopper is meat!
Not to mention, he was also in the starting phase. Getting all base attributes to 9 points for free was already a huge improvement for him.
Comparing this to MEI's Stinky Medium Cup attribute values, he couldn't help but feel that Kiana's stats were so beautiful!
—This woman is damn sweet!
Having his rabbit head fiercely satisfied as well, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Kiana, enjoying the softness and that wonderful taste.
Although Kiana was sleeping soundly, she instinctively responded to him.
Clearly, Kiana could be considered to have been "marinated thoroughly" by him.
Next—
With a thought, he opened that soaking wet diary in the system space.
After all, he was currently at home and lying in bed; naturally, he didn't want this diary to soil the bedding.
Moreover, he found that reading the diary in the system space was actually more convenient.
At this moment, a holographic projection generated in front of him. With just a thought, the diary turned pages automatically, so he didn't need to worry about tearing the soaked paper.
Furthermore, the rotten smell generated by the dampness on the diary would still drift into his nose, ensuring he wouldn't miss any details.
Of course, he didn't really want such details.
And just as this thought rose in his mind, this uncomfortable rotten smell disappeared along with it... It really is convenient!
—Tongzi, you really are something!
After giving high affirmation to his system, he began to read the contents of the diary—
[Day 1]
[Teacher brought back a lot of food from the cafeteria. We will definitely be able to hold out until the rescue team arrives!]
[Day 2]
[The city is burning... what exactly happened?]
[Teacher said it was a gas leak, but everyone doesn't think so.]
[Day 3]
[The rescue team still hasn't come, but fortunately, food is plentiful and the water supply hasn't been cut off. Everyone remains optimistic.]
[Day 7]
[Water... it's all water... why am I having such a dream?]
[And it's not just me; everyone seems to have had such a dream. They appear incredibly terrified.]
[Especially... Teacher!]
[Day 10]
[There isn't much food left. Everyone can only accept halving the rations.]
[However... I saw Tamako secretly go into Teacher's room at night.]
[They... indeed are still hiding food, right?]
[Day 15]
[I told everyone about this matter. While Teacher wasn't paying attention, everyone indeed found compressed biscuits and canned food piled like a small mountain in his room, enough for everyone to eat for several months!]
[I can understand the canned food, but why would the cafeteria store so many compressed biscuits?]
[And Teacher is only one person. How on earth did he move so many compressed biscuits and cans back to his own dormitory?]
[Or could it be... he actually knew something in advance?]
[Day 16]
[Teacher was forced to leave the Swimming Club by everyone.]
[But this couldn't be helped. Who told him to still think about controlling us with food at a time like this?]
[Truly disgusting!]
[But now that Teacher is gone, can we really still leave here?]
Very obvious tear stains appeared on the soaking wet diary.
[Day 25]
[Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Eiko screamed loudly. As a result, she attracted the Zombies outside... Eiko died, and Reika, who wanted to save her, also died... Can we really still wait for the rescue team?]
Obvious tear stains appeared again.
[Day 87]
[Neiko, usually the most timid, acted uncharacteristically today and stated she wanted to risk going out to explore. She didn't want to wait passively anymore.]
[A day passed. Just as everyone thought Neiko was dead, she came back alive.]
[She told everyone she saw Teacher, who had turned into a Zombie.]
[Tamako cried, probably because she was pregnant with Teacher's child.]
[In short... the atmosphere of the team is getting heavier and heavier. Everyone is very uneasy.]
[Even if there is still food, everyone understands... it will be very hard for us to get out.]
[Day 123]
[Before dying, Neiko told us through the broadcast at the rostrum that there is an invisible air wall around the school... We are thoroughly unable to leave here.]
[Tamako also died. After knowing we couldn't get out, she went to find Teacher who had turned into a Zombie.]
[Now, the Swimming Club only has me left... but it seems there isn't just me?]
[Day 144]
[The food was finally finished, but the number of people instead... increased?]
[Now it is five people. The number has changed back to what it was at the start, only lacking Teacher.]
[But it doesn't matter. Anyway, everyone is going to die, sooner or later.]
[Day 183]
[Why hasn't the sun appeared yet? The time on the watch has clearly reached morning.]
[Day 185]
[The sun never appeared again, and everyone has become increasingly bizarre.]
[Right... without food, how have I lived for so many days?]
[Water... water... it's all water!]
[I had this dream again, but it seems like it isn't a dream.]
[Day 190]
[I understand. Actually, I was soaked in the water long ago.]
[But when did I die?]
[Could it be... on the first day?]
The color of the words gradually turned blood-red, and after turning the page, the content also changed into a record from another perspective.
[Day ■1■]
[I remember... it was Teacher, it was them... it was all of them who left me at the bottom of the pool forever!]
[But why were they in cahoots?]
[Clearly... I didn't know the secret they spoke of at all!]
[Day ■15■]
[They finally realized that Tamako would run to Teacher's room at night.]
[I entangled Teacher, giving them a chance to enter Teacher's room.]
[However... what exactly is the deal with so many compressed biscuits?]
[Teacher indeed knew a lot of things in advance!]
[Unwilling! Unwilling! Unwilling!]
The handwriting suddenly became violent, and the word "Unwilling" filled the remaining space.
[Day ■16■]
[I wanted to follow Teacher and leave here, but I was trapped in the pool forever.]
[Day ■25■]
[So that's how it is... It was because I appeared in front of Eiko that Eiko screamed.]
[Reika didn't want to protect Eiko either; instead, her limbs were broken by me.]
[But how can this be blamed on me?]
[Reika, Eiko... I liked you so much, yet you betrayed me.]
[It was you who tricked me into coming here!]
[Day ■87■]
[I finally succeeded in possessing the most timid Neiko. Borrowing her body, I finally left this damn pool.]
[Passing the playground, I saw many Zombies, as well as a young girl who I don't know where she got a scythe from.]
[They were very terrifying. I avoided them.]
[Along the way, I discovered that Teacher was actually still alive, and was hiding in the Administration Building with other teachers.]
[Borrowing Neiko's identity, I tricked Teacher out.]
[Laughably, he was still saying things like "You guys really can't make it without me, huh?" and simply didn't notice I was leading him to a dead end.]
[What a pathetic man. He actually didn't call the other teachers in the Administration Department. Clearly, he treated everyone in the Swimming Club as his personal possessions.]
[Before dying, Teacher crazily cursed Neiko as an ungrateful bitch.]
[Sure enough, they entered Chiba Academy under Teacher's arrangement... They were in cahoots!]
[It's just, why did they want to do this?]
[Is it because of the secret they spoke of?]
[Day ■123■]
[Borrowing Neiko's body, I confirmed it. The entire Chiba Academy has been sealed by an invisible force; one simply cannot get out.]
[Although I really wanted to know something from the teachers in the Administration Building, I don't know since when, but I couldn't enter the Administration Building, nor the School building and the cafeteria. I could only wander on the playground.]
[Finally, borrowing the broadcast at the rostrum, I announced the fact that we couldn't get out to everyone in the school.]
[Hee hee, I wonder how many people will break down?]
[At the very least, I saw Tamako break down. She went to find Teacher who had already turned into a Zombie. Their feelings were really good, huh!]
[Hee hee! Hee hee hee hee...]
The entire passage following was filled with bloody "Hee hee"s, making Leo feel like he was hallucinating.
[Day ■144■]
[They all came to my side. This time, everyone is finally good sisters!]
[They can never betray me again!]
[Day ■183■]
[Why hasn't the sun risen again?]
[Day ■185■]
[Moonlight... it's all moonlight!]
[Day ■190■]
[So that's how it is... I finally understand.]
[It's the moonlight... everything is because of this trace of bizarre moonlight!]
[It's what turned everyone into this!]
[It's also what sealed the entire campus!]
[I seem to have been changed by it too...]
[But it doesn't matter. Anyway, everyone is together forever... Hee hee!]
[It's just, why can I still maintain clarity?]
[This is... why?]
[Why? Why? Why?]
Just like "Hee hee", "Why" also occupied all the remaining space, and there were no further records after that.
One could only say, the owner of the diary seemed sane, but in reality, she had long gone mad.
However, since the other party could still have a "human" perspective, that meant she had been lucid for a period of time.
And according to Leo's judgment, this was probably because the other party had obtained Kiana's soul fragment.
And the reason she was killed should also be related to this matter. It's just that this pathetic and innocent girl clearly didn't know the situation.
In short... the mastermind behind creating this Honkai Domain truly deserves to die!
In the little notebook in his heart, he recorded another blood debt.
Just waiting for him to find this mastermind, he would pay it back double!
"Phew..."
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, he forced himself to calm down to analyze the intelligence contained in this diary.
First, he confirmed it: when this [Moon Light Concentration] increases to the end, he would undergo Zombification.
In fact, when his [Moon Light Concentration] reached [75%], he clearly felt a power that didn't belong to him, making him bloodthirsty and berserk.
Originally, he thought it was the effect of soaring adrenaline, but looking at it now, that was the beginning of his Zombification.
Moreover, even if he became bloodthirsty and berserk, he was still kicked to death by Lord Shadow Ninja Zombie like a stray dog by the roadside.
So, wanting to use [Moon Light Concentration] to increase combat power wasn't realistic. He would even become weaker due to the lack of reason.
Therefore, unless it was a desperate last stand, he absolutely had no need to do so.
In addition, Teacher's intelligence was also worth noting.
The teachers in the School building thought someone would come to save them.
And that teacher in the Swimming Club clearly knew more news, having secretly hidden a pile of food beforehand.
But what was the use of just hiding food?
If no one came to save them, or if they couldn't run out, hiding even more food wouldn't help, right?
Therefore, this Swimming Club teacher definitely hid a lot more secrets.
—Administration Building? Noted!
Having clarified the subsequent mission objective, he now looked forward to seeing Bronya again.
With her help, they could obtain intelligence much more easily.
And as the string in his heart relaxed, he also gradually sank into dreamland.
Only then did Raiden Mei slowly emerge from the blade tool.
Looking at Leo, who fell asleep hugging Kiana, a rather complicated and subtle expression couldn't help but appear on her exquisite pretty face.
Undoubtedly, she had never dreamed there would be a day like this.
And shifting her gaze to the left, looking at Kiana's cute sleeping face, she inexplicably recalled Kiana's crazy appearance when she was suspended in the air earlier.
Involuntarily, her heart trembled, and her pretty face became covered in a blush.
—Perhaps this isn't bad for everyone?
Thinking for a moment, she ultimately didn't choose to return to the blade space. Instead, she lay down on Leo's other side and hugged him.
Feeling Leo's steady and powerful heartbeat and the warmth radiating from him, she felt an unprecedented peace of mind.
From this moment, she slowly closed her eyes, then sank into dreamland.
...
The next day.
Leo felt his body was very heavy, simply as if he were entangled by an octopus.
Instinctively, he wanted to struggle.
But... he couldn't struggle at all!
An inexplicable monstrous strength caused him to be firmly bound, unable to break free.
Thus, he woke up reluctantly, wanting to see what exactly was going on.
It was just—
"H-Hi..."
Emitting a slightly trembling voice, he somewhat didn't dare to meet MEI's cold eyes that were like a millennial iceberg.
However, in the end, he still braced himself and habitually greeted the other party.
"Good morning... MEI."
"Heh~"
Letting out a insincere chuckle, MEI crossed her arms. Using a look one would give to filth, she said with a face full of disdain: "It's no longer morning. You should say 'Good noon' to me."
Precisely because the sun was already high in the sky and she still hadn't seen any sign of Leo coming to find her, she had taken the spare key Leo gave her last night to come in and check the situation.
To be fair, that Leo could give her the house key was undoubtedly a confirmation of her status.
But she absolutely never expected that as soon as she came in today, she would see that she had indeed been cut in line again!
Therefore, the current her was expressionless on the surface, but in reality, she was burning with anger.
—Are you a monkey? Being in such a hurry?
Although she didn't care much about the order, still, still... clearly, I came first!
"Um... Good noon."
Seeing MEI's gaze becoming increasingly unkind, Leo hurriedly wanted to get up.
But only now did he realize that he was firmly hugged in Kiana's arms; there was simply no room for him to struggle.
Moreover, Kiana was sleeping exceptionally soundly, actually showing no sign of waking up even now... Was she merging the memories from the soul fragment?
regarding power, Kiana had absorbed it very easily last night.
However, the memories were complex. It looked like she would need a long time to complete it.
It's just... Kiana, you've really caused me suffering!
Trembling with fear while enjoying Kiana's soft figure, Leo had a premonition that compared to resolving today's Honkai erosion point, perhaps coaxing MEI would be even more difficult!
