Uchiha Sasuke’s Collapse Chapter 012

The night sky of Nagazora City was completely different from its neat and orderly daytime appearance. The colorful neon lights illuminated the city with a vibrant, enchanting beauty.

Sasuke, dressed in plain black, seemed out of place in this city.

Before him lay two corpses of Honkai zombies.

As time passed, these creatures affected by Honkai energy began to appear in various corners of Nagazora City. During the day, he occasionally checked the street broadcasts or newspapers for information about this world.

However, these unexpectedly appearing Honkai zombies and Honkai beasts seemed to be covered up by an invisible hand in the news, explained away as various accidents.

All signs indicated that this city seemed to be moving steadily towards the so-called “Third Honkai Eruption.”

Should he take away the woman named Raiden Mei and train her, or directly destroy the organization called Anti-Entropy?

Hm?

Someone was coming.

Sasuke was about to use the Body Flicker Technique to leave, but his steps paused slightly, as the identity of the newcomer surprised him.

It was the other woman who had been living with Raiden Mei. What was she doing here?

And it was this moment of hesitation that allowed a certain white-haired ball of fluff to flip over the wall and appear before Sasuke.

Kiana’s breath hitched slightly as she looked at the two corpses before her. Then, she looked up and saw a one-armed man standing in the shadows not far away. She instinctively blurted out, “Stinky old…”

However, when her eyes met the man’s youthful face, which was not much older than her own, the last word, “man,” was forcefully choked back.

“Hehehe…” Kiana chuckled awkwardly, “Hi there, did you do this?”

To cover up her near-slip of calling him “dad,” Kiana, in a panic, asked an obvious question.

“Move aside,” Sasuke said stiffly, seemingly unwilling to communicate with Kiana.

“Eh… huh?” Kiana was stung by Sasuke’s tone, and her eyebrows immediately shot up. “Hey, can’t you be a bit nicer? I’m asking you a question! Did you do this?”

“Last time, move aside!” A hint of impatience was clearly visible between Sasuke’s brows.

“You say move aside and I move aside? What if I don’t?” Kiana’s temper flared in an instant.

Sasuke glanced at Kiana’s sky-blue eyes and snorted, “If you don’t want to die, then scram. You blue-eyed folks, are you all so fond of blocking the way?”

“What’s wrong with you? Are you jealous of my clear, transparent eyes? Do you feel inferior under my gaze?” Kiana retorted furiously.

“People like you, who think you’re so smart, always like to say inexplicable nonsense and block others’ way. I’m not interested in getting tangled up with you.”

As he spoke, the face of a certain blond, blue-eyed fox jinchuriki in Sasuke’s mind overlapped with the girl in front of him. Although they were of different genders, their foolish tone and way of thinking were practically identical.

With that, Sasuke’s figure flickered and disappeared from Kiana’s sight.

“Hey—why are you like this?” Kiana wanted to chase after him, but Sasuke’s speed was too fast for her naked eye to catch. In a few leaps, he vanished from Kiana’s vision.

“Damn it! I’m so mad!”

Kiana stomped her foot twice, her shoe soles making a crisp sound on the asphalt. Her white twin-tails fluttered twice in the air, and the girl gritted her teeth, appearing consumed by anger.

Her encounter with Sasuke was not accidental. In fact, she had tracked him down by following a pattern she had discovered over the past two days.

The current Kiana was not the fully pampered “flip-flop” she would become in the future at St. Freya Academy. After her “father” Siegfried’s unannounced departure, the girl had journeyed from Europe to Asia and finally reached the Far East, the hardships of which were self-evident.

After arriving in Nagazora City, before moving into the Raiden household, the girl lived in a rented room. By day, she was a problem student at Senba Academy, her mind wandering during classes; by night, she was a Valkyrie fighting Honkai in the darkness.

Having fought Honkai zombies and beasts for a long time, she had gained considerable experience with these monsters born from Honkai. In recent days, she had noticed that areas with Honkai energy residue and a high probability of Honkai derivatives were eerily silent. When she investigated, only corpses remained, along with clean, decisive sword marks on them.

A sense of curiosity arose within her, so she followed the trail of these corpses, eventually cornering the one-armed youth she had just encountered.

Kiana had initially thought that the person who, like her, maintained peace in the city under the cover of night would be a cool guardian just like her. Who knew he would be such an unpleasant person?

“Damn it, you think you can shake me off like that? Hmph, then you’re too naive!”

Without her external brain by her side, the incredibly intelligent Miss Kiana began to think independently: as long as that man was still dealing with Honkai incidents, she would be able to find him!

Moreover, he was so powerful, disappearing from her sight in just a few moves. Did that mean he might know something about her old man?

Kiana recalled that before coming to the Far East, she had lived in Shenzhou for a while. She remembered reading novels there that said “the strong attract each other.”

The more she thought, Kiana’s “astounding” wisdom told her that the possibility was very high. Furthermore, for her, even the slightest bit of news about her old man, Siegfried, was something she absolutely couldn’t miss.

“Hmph hmph, let’s see where you can run to?”

Kiana crossed her arms, looking as if she had the one-armed youth completely figured out. Then, she followed the areas where Honkai energy overflowed.

There were corpses of Honkai zombies and Honkai beasts everywhere. From the blade marks and bloodstains, they appeared to be freshly generated.

“So fast…”

The wounds on these corpses were mostly fatal. Kiana even saw large charred areas on some Honkai beasts, and the scent of roasted meat permeated the air, causing her taut stomach to rumble.

Fortunately, she hadn’t become so hungry that she lost her head, knowing what was edible and what wasn’t.

But… she really wanted to eat Mei’s bento—

Just thinking about the breakfast Mei would prepare tomorrow morning made Kiana’s mouth water, her salivary glands continuously secreting clear saliva.

Maybe she should just go home and sleep. When she woke up, Mei would have breakfast ready!

At this thought, Kiana instantly wavered, and the resentment she had felt towards the mysterious youth vanished completely.

Anyway, there was always tomorrow night!

She would definitely catch him tomorrow! Definitely!

Kiana returned the way she came without looking back.

Less than a minute after she left, Sasuke’s figure emerged from the shadows in the corner. He silently watched the girl’s retreating back.
