Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 159: Crossdresser Otto

At the same time, on the other side——

After Otto obtained the information about Soul Steel, he thought that whether it was Soul Steel or the artificial Honkai beast, the appearance of all these clues was too coincidental, and the only one who possessed such power, apart from Anti-Entropy, was the snake hiding in the dark.

It is no exaggeration to say that any thinking person can see that this is a trap to lure people in, but Otto thinks this is also a good opportunity to turn the tables...

Judging from the performance of Jiang Ming and Rita, smart people like them will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance. In order for the plan to go smoothly, a sweet bait must be prepared for them.

So, at Otto's request, Amber selected a few naive Valkyries for him, Kiana and Susanna were naturally among them. Susanna had expertise in exploration, which made her very suitable for this plan.

In addition, in order to further reduce the opponent's vigilance, he asked Jiang Ming to temporarily withdraw from the mission and take Susanna to the Tianming headquarters, waiting for Jiang Ming to provide support through the transmission anchor point placed in London.

Afterwards, using the latest model of soul steel body to perfectly imitate Susanna's appearance and behavior patterns, he could easily deceive everyone, even Yulandel and Rita.

At the same time, [Susanna] also successfully arrived at the hotel where Rita was staying and began to lure the snake out of its hole——

"Ms. Rita, I brought the most advanced exploration equipment from Tianming this time to assist you in your investigation. However, Lord Jiang Ming was assigned to another place by the Bishop in the middle of the investigation. He said that he was preparing for the next step."

While putting down the high-precision instrument, Susanna conveyed to Rita the words that the bishop asked her to take.

"The bishop said that he had searched the entire UK 500 years before God's Mandate ruled England, but still found nothing. So he guessed that the Key of God must be deeper underground."

"So this time the bishop asked us to re-investigate the ruins in England and make sure we find the whereabouts of the Second God's Key."

After saying this, Susanna leaned forward slightly, excitedly held Rita's hands, and said proudly.

"My family in the Middle East is engaged in gem exploration. The bishop said that I am the most suitable candidate! Miss Rita, please believe in my ability!"

Then Susanna immediately let go of her hands and took out some simple exploration tools.

"Then Miss Rita, let's get going! I can't wait to start our adventure!"

Seeing such an active Susanna, Rita couldn't help but sweat on her face, but she still showed her standard smile and took out a large stack of information and put it in front of Susanna, pointing at the information and smiling politely and elegantly.

"Before we start the exploration, we must first find clues to the buried location of the Key of God from these materials."

Looking at the documents on the table that were taller than her, Susanna smiled bitterly and looked sad, then sat down on the ground in a depressed mood.

"Reading is the thing I am worst at..."

Seeing this, Rita comforted him in time.

"Don't worry Miss Susanna, we have invited another helper besides you."

At this moment, a crisp doorbell rang in their ears, and then an angel, who seemed unable to bear to see Susanna go through such pain, came to her side.

"Miss Rita, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, welcome, Miss Catherine. Ah, let me introduce you. The person who was originally with me suddenly received other orders and left first. This is the Valkyrie sent by the headquarters to assist us, Susanna."

"Nice to meet you!"

When Susanna saw the man who looked like a savior coming, she immediately bowed to show her gratitude and respect.

"Thank you again, Miss Catherine, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me. God will give you the reward you deserve."

"You're so kind. It's my pleasure! Let's get started now without further ado."

After Catherine nodded slightly, others began to explain to them their understanding and speculation about the legend of King Arthur over the years.

After a long period of communication, they finally came up with an answer.

There are countless places in England today that are related to the legend of King Arthur.

Tintagel Castle, the birthplace of King Arthur, Snowdonia, where King Arthur became famous for killing a giant, and Glastonbury, now considered the most likely location of Avalon, are all famous for the legend of King Arthur.

But if they wanted to visit all of them, it would probably take a lot of time. But if they were looking for King Arthur's Sword, Catherine recommended a place to them.

That is Glastonbury Tor near Glastonbury, which is said to be the gateway to the elven kingdom of Avalon, and the holy sword that Merlin gave to King Arthur was also forged by goblins.

Therefore, it was considered the closest place to Avalon, along with Glastonbury, and perhaps it could be their first stop.

After the discussion, Rita and Susanna looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's set off."

"Yeah~!"

.........................

The three of them came to a vast green meadow, ready to explore whether their destination, Avalon, was underground.

In a dark room...

[Lord Jackal, the Valkyrie of Destiny has arrived at the designated location. We can start implementing our plan.]

"I didn't expect that they would take the bait so easily. Thank you for your hard work. In that case, let's treat them well."

As expected, the snake lurking in the dark successfully bit the bait that Tianming carefully prepared for them, but they didn't know...

...............

Didi——

A crisp sound came from the geological detector in her hand. Susanna ran back and forth on the grassland at a fast speed, and she wore goggles on her face to protect her eyes from being affected by the wind.

"Ms. Susanna, do you need my help?"

Catherine asked softly as she watched Susanna running around, but Susanna just kept shaking her head.

"No, no! Leave this little thing to me!"

But who knew that the next second, Susanna's feet slipped on the slippery grass and she fell flat on her face. In order to avoid embarrassment, she had to stop forcing herself.

"Well, please help me..."

Catherine lifted her glasses helplessly, then put on goggles as well, and stepped forward to help Susanna explore the underground with high-precision instruments.

And as she watched Susanna regain her spirits and continue her exploration back and forth, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Ms. Susanna is really amazing. She can become the goddess of destiny at such a young age."

Hearing this, Susanna looked back and smiled, speaking modestly.

"Hehe~ I'm still far from that. Miss Catherine is the one. Not everyone can be the museum director."

"Haha, if possible, I would also like to become a handsome Valkyrie like Miss Susanna."

Catherine sighed softly, and her thoughts returned to the past. She raised her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, and just looked at the blue sky, speaking as if she was confiding.

"I was sickly since childhood, so I could only lie in bed most of the time. Books were my only friends, and that was when I started to get in touch with history."

"Looking at the brilliant civilization of mankind on this planet for tens of thousands of years, I always feel my own insignificance. As long as I think about it this way, my own pain becomes less important..."

"Woo, woo, woo! Miss Catherine! You must be strong!"

After hearing this, Susanna immediately stepped forward and grabbed Catherine's hand, and encouraged her with inner emotion. Catherine quickly waved her hands and smiled bitterly, telling Susanna to relax.

"Don't worry so much, I'm actually fine now."

"Well, Miss Catherine, after this mission is over, I will ask Miss Rita to take you to visit the Destiny Base. There are many Valkyries there! There are even men!"

"Haha, that's really interesting. We have a deal."

...................

After a while, Susanna suddenly made a discovery, and she quickly told the two of them the good news loudly.

"Found it! There is a secret passage under the torre leading underground! There is a bigger space inside!"

Rita showed a terrifying smile when she heard this, and immediately organized three people to take out shovels and start digging the ground.

After digging about half a meter at the designated location, a stone slab engraved with English appeared in front of the three people.

“Kala——”

As Rita moved the heavy stone slab away, a dark and bottomless passage came into view.

"Miss Catherine, please wait for us up there. There may be danger underground."

Rita suggested that Catherine stay there, but Catherine flatly refused.

"What are you talking about, Miss Rita? This is an exciting discovery. As a historian, please allow me to come along!"

Susanna was also there to speak for Catherine.

"Please rest assured, Miss Rita. I will definitely ensure the safety of Miss Catherine!"

"...Is that so? Then let's go together."

Rita looked at the two men's backs with a slightly sharp look, then closed her eyes and thought for a while before following them.

..........................

While looking at the underground metal detector in her hand, Susanna reported the current situation to Rita and the others.

"Ms. Rita, according to the instrument, this passage goes down nearly 1828.8 feet (about meters)."

Looking at such data, Susanna couldn't help but sigh.

"It's such a huge project. I wonder how the ancient people completed it. Even the stairs are distributed so evenly."

"If this is really the burial place of the Key of God, then these ruins were built with the technology of a previous civilization. If this is the case, incredible things will happen."

They soon reached a depth of nearly two thousand meters. Unlike the original staircase road, the space below was enormous. Even an ordinary gymnasium would be far inferior to it.

Just as the three were about to find out what was going on, Catherine unexpectedly discovered something like a sword not far away, and the tip of the sword was stuck on a stone of medium size.

However, the sword body, hilt and scabbard were all rusted and in tatters.

"Could it be that... this is the legendary holy sword...?"

Catherine put on her gloves slowly and approached the holy sword, while Susanna followed her. Rita was still observing the environment from a distance.

At this moment, Catherine just lightly touched the holy sword on the stone, and then the holy sword seemed to be triggered by some mechanism, and it bent slightly like a pull rod.

At the same time, a huge pillar fell down, and the ground was instantly dented, separating Susanna and Rita.

bump--!!

"Suzanna?!"

Looking at this sudden scene, Rita couldn't help but frown and sweat broke out on her face. It would be difficult for her to completely clean up such a huge stone pillar. After all, her fighting style was different from Jiang Ming and Youlandel.

"Separated? What's going on? Is there a mechanism?!"

Susanna stared at the stone pillar in front of her with wide eyes, her nervousness evident in her words. She knocked on the stone pillar in front of her in panic, and kept calling Rita on the other side.

"Ms. Rita, are you okay? I, I, I, what should we do now?"

"Calm down Miss Susanna, you need to protect Miss Catherine first."

"Yeah! I...I'll do my best!"

Seeing that they seemed to be fine, Rita began to observe the surrounding environment more carefully, trying to find another way to reach them.

At the same time, a slight sound suddenly came from the dark and silent underground. Rita turned around suddenly and found that it was the cat from before. It was looking at Rita with a fierce expression.

"Meow (Little girl, we meet again)"

Rita breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and a smile appeared on her face.

"It seems that we have indeed been ambushed."

"Meow! (Humph, I've been through devilish training these past two days and have been suppressing my desires. This is the rule of survival I learned during my wandering career—only when you reach your limit can you unleash greater power!!"

"Meow meow! (Now if I kill you, I can go back and have a good meal!!)"

As the medicine was injected again, Stan's body was covered with a silicone shell like the Honkai Beast again and he pounced on Rita.

Rita's face stiffened, and the Blue Knight, Moon Soul, quickly dressed. The blue and white armor on Rita's body turned from virtual to real like data, and then he faced her head-on.
