Chapter 516
The only things she was good at were cooking and fighting, but these were not enough to change her situation.
That was why she was always unable to help herself.
The young girl helplessly hugged her arms. This despair of being unable to do anything was more painful and distressing to her than any injury.
Bai Ge held her cheeks and wiped away the tears in her eyes. His golden eyes contained determination, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Tears are proof of failure; they cannot change any tragedy. So Sakura, do you know where your sister is?"
"... I know, but that place is heavily guarded, and once they take Rin as a hostage, I will..."
Sakura clenched her hands and said unwillingly. Even though she had become a Fusion Warrior and had the power to solve all enemies, once those people pointed their guns at Rin.
Then all she could do was put down her sword and be killed obediently.
However, a warm hand touched Sakura's head.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
"Captain Bai Ge..."
"Having a loved one held hostage and being unable to do anything... I can understand your feelings, very much so."
Bai Ge's hands clenched into fists. He thought of his experience with Sirin during the Second Honkai. At that time, Sirin was held hostage by the Fool, and he could only helplessly dig out his own Herrscher core.
He had never forgotten the despair, powerlessness, and anger of that time, so now Bai Ge could empathize with Sakura's feelings.
So he decided to help Sakura.
This was not out of sympathy or pity, but purely out of indignation... Bai Ge absolutely did not want to see that kind of thing happen before his eyes a second time, whether it happened to himself or to others, he would never allow it.
"I'll be your companion, Sakura. I will definitely reunite you sisters."
"Really? You're willing to help me."
Sakura opened her eyes wide. She hurriedly held Bai Ge's hand, as if she were holding onto the last straw.
"Hmm~ leave it to me. I'm a hero who can even save the world. Saving one, no, a pair of sisters trapped in tragedy, is of course a small matter that is easy to handle."
Bai Ge patted his chest and said confidently.
Immediately, crystals slid down Sakura's cheeks again. She only felt as if a ray of light had shone into her world.
"Ah, but afterwards you have to promise me one thing, a very important and difficult thing."
"I promise, I'll promise anything!"
Sakura said without hesitation.
As long as it was for her sister, this older sister would really do anything. Killing people, dying, as long as Bai Ge could save Rin, then even if he wanted her to offer her body, Sakura couldn't refuse.
"Very good, then without further ado, let's set off now and reunite you sisters sooner."
"Bai Ge, what about me? What should I do?"
The pink fairy miss was also fired up. She raised her hand high to indicate how this matter could be missing her. As for the reward afterwards, as long as Sakura was willing to let her touch her ears, it would be fine.
"Elysia, you go help me notify Mei and Mobius. Let them prepare to receive power. This time I also plan to kill a few Fire Moth councilors for fun."
Bai Ge thought for a few seconds and said with a smile.
"Eh eh eh~! Isn't this not taking me to play!"
"Sakura, point me in a direction, let's go."
Without waiting for Elysia to complain, Bai Ge pulled the kneeling Sakura up from the ground and directly spread his white dragon wings to fly into the sky from the balcony. The instantaneous supersonic flight made Sakura shiver.
She subconsciously hugged Bai Ge's neck tightly, and that pair of pink fox ears couldn't stand straight at all.
In less than ten minutes, Bai Ge found the target location according to Sakura's directions. When the two fell from the sky, Sakura immediately covered her mouth, her face pale... This 10-Mach flight without protection, if she hadn't become a Fusion Warrior, she would definitely have been seriously injured.
"Stand up straight, look and see if this is it?"
Bai Ge looked around and soon found the pattern of a moth with burning wings. He understood that this was a protected area, although it looked more like a prison from the outside.
There were Fire Moth soldiers patrolling everywhere, surveillance, drones, detectors, even if it was a Fusion Warrior, it would be difficult to break into it without being discovered under such strict security.
He searched for information with his authority and found that this was a protected area specifically for protecting important figures of Fire Moth, mostly the families of high-ranking officials.
"Yes, yes, my sister is 'protected' in this area. What should we do next?"
Sakura recovered her color after a while. Fortunately, her self-control was extremely strong, so she didn't do anything that would destroy the image of a beautiful girl, such as spitting out rainbows...
At the same time, her hand had already gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist, as if she would rush in the next second, braving the hail of bullets to pick up her sister.
But Sakura still restrained herself, because she knew that her ability was not enough to save her relative, and the person who had the ability was by her side.
Sakura looked at Bai Ge with expectation and hope.
"Is there anything I can do?"
"No, Sakura, just stay here and wait for me."
Bai Ge shook his head, indicating that he alone was enough.
Afterwards, under Sakura's shocked expression, his body gradually became transparent until it completely disappeared. Sakura closed her eyes and opened all her senses, but she didn't capture any trace of Bai Ge.
It was as if he had evaporated from the world.
"Wait for my good news."
"... I'm counting on you, Captain Bai Ge."
Hearing the voice in her ear, Sakura's heart beat wildly.
The ability Bai Ge showed at this moment gave her unprecedented hope. Sakura thought that if it was this person, he would definitely be able to save her sister.
... (bbfe).................
"Sure enough, using this move to sneak in is very convenient."
Bai Ge, who was fully quantized, walked into the protected area like a ghost. Whether it was the soldiers' eyes, the drones' detection, or the training dogs' noses.
In front of him, who had become a quantum ghost, they were all useless.
Bai Ge found the place Sakura mentioned beforehand without any obstacles. It was a single-story cabin.
Although it was not spacious, it was more than enough for a pair of sisters. Currently, there were two soldiers guarding it. This was the residence arranged by Fire Moth for the Sakura-Rin sisters.
"I'll deal with you later."
Bai Ge in the quantum ghost state didn't even need to walk through the door, directly passing through the wall and entering the sisters' small home.
Although it was only a small cabin of about sixty square meters, the interior was clean and tidy. There was a vase on the dining table, a fox doll on the sofa, and a photo of the Sakura-Rin sisters on the cabinet.
Anyone could see that this was a warm little home.
Although it wasn't big, it was a home Sakura had exchanged for with her hard work on missions. Bai Ge looked around as if appreciating a beautiful scene, and his understanding of Sakura deepened.
Putting himself in her shoes, if it were to protect this warm and peaceful little home, then even if his hands were stained with more blood, Bai Ge would not hesitate.
(Speaking of which, I inexplicably have a sense of déjà vu. This kind of person who, in order to protect important people, sacrifices themselves to create a small paradise, and never gives up even if they suffer more hardship and danger, uh... isn't this exactly the same as me during the Second Honkai of the current civilization?!)
Thinking of this, Bai Ge's favorability for Sakura soared again, thinking that he must let her get a good ending.
"She's not anywhere, so it seems she's here."
Bai Ge searched around and didn't find Rin's figure. Finally, he looked at Sakura's bedroom, which was the only place he hadn't checked. Rin, who missed her sister who wasn't home, would indeed curl up in Sakura's bedroom.
He walked directly through the door.
Sure enough, he discovered the young girl's figure.
Rin had the same pink hair as Sakura, but it was styled into a single ponytail. Unlike her sister's purple eyes, she had a pair of cyan eyes. One look at the two's appearance told you they were sisters.
And at this moment, Rin was frowning and busy.
"Here, like this, and like this, good~ done! I hope it can be put to good use later!"
Rin was holding a simple grappling hook rope. Because it was handmade by the young girl, it looked very rough, like a child's toy, as if it could be easily broken.
Bai Ge watched Rin with interest.
Afterwards, he saw her walk to the bedside, relying on her petite figure to let her upper body crawl under the bed, then she hugged a box and curled back, carefully putting the handmade grappling hook rope inside.
Bai Ge took a look and found that they were all escape tools: a compass, a map of this area, chili spray, compressed biscuits.
"I don't know when sister will come back next time. Sooner or later, I must escape from here... Sister is really something, treating me like a child who doesn't understand anything, thinking I can't see that you are doing dangerous work for Rin."
Rin took out a photo of herself and Sakura from the box, looking at her sister in the photo and talking to herself.
"Sister, come back safely this time too."
"That saying is really true, children shouldn't think they see through adults, but adults shouldn't think they can easily see through children. You are so smart, Sakura's sister."
Bai Ge sighed and praised from the bottom of his heart.
Sakura could be reckless and stain her hands with blood for her sister, but her sister was not a vase who knew nothing and would only be a burden.
Rin was also working hard in her own way. Even though she was still just a minor girl, she was already trying to escape from this protected area dominated by Fire Moth.
Speaking of which, are the children in the Honkai 3rd world all so heaven-defying?
Kiana and Elysia started traveling around the world at ten, Bronya made a name for herself as the Silver Wolf of the Urals at a young age, Durandal was shot in the head and fell from a thousand meters at ten but still lived well, Rin looks about ten now, and she has already started planning to escape from Fire Moth's protected area.
"Wh, who is it!"
Rin was startled by Bai Ge. This big brother suddenly appeared in a home where she was the only one, and he even saw her escape equipment box that she had secretly prepared for a long time.
