You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Page 184

Before long, the three children ran out of energy and stopped bullying Nina, panting heavily. However, their faces were very flushed, indicating that they were in a state of excitement.

"Huh? What is this?"

A child noticed Nina's wrists, which were covered in cuts, and immediately began to examine them closely out of curiosity.

Upon hearing the child's voice, the other two children looked toward Nina's arm.

One of the children stepped on Nina's head, completely disregarding her feelings.

In addition, Nina's left hand was also stepped on, leaving only her wrist, which was covered in cuts, exposed.

"I do not know."

"Since he's a strange child, it's normal for him to be different from us."

Upon hearing this, the other two children seemed to find it quite reasonable and readily agreed.

"Yeah, yeah, anyway, he's a weird kid, so there's bound to be something strange about him."

"I'm so tired... Let's go play in the room!"

Upon hearing this, Nina's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

Once they leave, I can go back to my room and write to Iselin...

Nina comforted herself and patiently waited for the three children to leave.

However, instead of leaving as Nina wished, the three children grabbed Nina's hair again and pulled her up from the floor.

"Nina, let's go to your room to play now!"

"No, no... You're not allowed in my room..."

Nina tried to fight back against the three children, but was met with another round of punches and kicks.

Once Nina stopped talking, the three children stopped hitting her and instead pulled her towards her room.

During this time, the three children disregarded Nina's feelings and dragged her along.

Before long, the four children arrived at the door of Nina's room.

"Crack!"

A child turned the doorknob and heard a crisp sound.

"The door is locked."

"Hmph! Just as I thought, there must be a 'treasure' in Nina's room!"

The child made a firm promise and then began rummaging through Nina's clothes, eventually taking the key to the room from her pocket.

"No...please don't come into my room..."

Nina pleaded softly.

The three children excitedly guessed what Nina's "treasure" was, completely ignoring Nina's pleas.

As the key was inserted into the lock, Nina's room slowly opened, revealing itself to the three children.

The children curiously looked around Nina's bedroom, no longer paying attention to the frail Nina.

Where is the 'treasure'?

"I don't know, let's look for it."

"Nina is so stingy, she hoarded the 'treasure' all by herself."

The three children grumbled and ransacked the room, quickly turning Nina's bedroom into a complete mess.

To Nina's relief, the three children didn't notice the bedside table for the time being.

"There's still a chance, as long as we can attract 'Mom'..."

Nina stood up unsteadily, pretending not to see the three children rummaging through the drawers, and turned to leave her bedroom.

Just as Nina was about to shout "Mom!", a hand suddenly reached out from behind her, grabbed her short blonde hair, and pulled her into the room.

"Nina is such a strange child, she actually wanted to call me 'Mom'."

“That’s right, we can’t let Mom find out about the ‘treasure hunt’ game, or we’ll get scolded.”

"Nina needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise she'll keep misbehaving!"

While the three children were conspiring, they punched and kicked Nina again.

Having bullied Nina twice earlier, the three children were exhausted and soon became breathless.

After that, the three children ignored Nina, locked the door, and continued searching for the nonexistent "treasure" in Nina's room.

Nina watched as the three children opened the bedside table drawer and took out neatly stacked letters.

To the three children, Nina's precious letter was nothing more than scrap paper; they glanced at it casually and tossed it on the ground.

It wasn't until a child opened the next drawer and found a dagger that they finally found the "treasure."

Nina stared blankly at the letters scattered on the floor, her pupils having lost their luster.

When her most precious possession was treated this way, coupled with the grievances of being bullied in the past, Nina felt as if she heard a soft whisper in her ear.

These are the devil's seductive words, and also the "source of power" that drives Nina's revenge.

At this moment, neither the children nor the adults in the orphanage noticed that the Honkai energy around the orphanage was gradually becoming denser, even triggering a significant Honkai energy reaction.

The moment the Honkai energy reaction occurred, the Human Alliance received the news and quickly launched a series of actions.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the Human Union did not have time to organize a mobilization meeting and hastily dispatched the Valkyrie troops to Paris, France.

At the same time, Agatha and Galina also noticed the Honkai energy reaction and instinctively looked in the direction of the orphanage.

"Could this Honkai energy reaction be from the Herrscher of Ice?"

"I don't know. Agatha, let's go check it out."

Galina put on her mask and moved quickly into the night.

Agatha did not rashly activate his Herrscher powers, but followed Galina's footsteps and rushed towards the orphanage where Nina was.

A dozen minutes later, the two girls stopped at the entrance of the orphanage.

"This orphanage..."

"Galina, do you know about this orphanage?"

"Yes, I've heard something about it—this orphanage has taken in a child with 'painlessness'."

"'Painlessness'? What kind of disease is that?"

"This disease is very rare, and there is no cure. Once you have this disease, you will never feel pain for the rest of your life."

"Sounds pretty good."

"...'Spicy' is actually the sensation of pain."

"'Painlessness' is just awful!"

Galina glanced at Agatha and was immediately speechless, so she said nothing more and went into the orphanage first.

Agatha followed Galina's footsteps and rushed into the orphanage.

Chapter 258 The Fifth Herrscher: Nina

Nina's room at the orphanage.

The three children excitedly brandished their daggers, their shadows intertwining and swaying, as if transforming into hideous demons, silently mocking and ridiculing Nina.

The sounds around her grew clearer, making Nina's thoughts increasingly clear.

"you……"

Nina stood up unsteadily, her gaze fixed on the letter that the three children had trampled under their feet. At that moment, her weak body seemed to have fully recovered.

Upon hearing Nina's voice, the child who was brandishing the dagger suddenly looked at Nina.

"Nina, we've found the 'treasure,' so you can't back out now!"

"..."

Nina remained silent, taking slow but firm steps toward the child holding the dagger.

If we can just take the dagger, then we can...

Nina's thoughts abruptly stopped, and the scene before her eyes spun around her.

—She was knocked down by a child again.

"Strange kids are not allowed to come near us!"

The children yelled and kicked Nina, trying to push her away.

Nina ignored the punches and kicks from the other children and grabbed the ankle of the child holding the dagger.

This action seemed to completely enrage the other children, resulting in Nina being subjected to another round of beatings.

Unlike before, Nina attempted a counterattack this time, with a very clear target: the dagger.

Seeing this, the child holding the dagger became even angrier.

"Nina, you're so stingy! Since you want it, I'll give it back to you!"

sound off.

Without hesitation, the child thrust out the dagger, tearing through Nina's skin and piercing deep into her flesh.

Unfortunately, the dagger pierced Nina's heart.

Because children are not strong enough, the dagger failed to reach Nina's heart and was fortunately stopped by her ribs.

The icy sensation in her chest brought Nina to a sudden halt, and she stared blankly at the gray-white ceiling.

Seeing that Nina had stopped resisting, the three children stopped beating her out of boredom and left Nina's room chatting and laughing, as if what had happened before was just a trivial "minor matter".

After leaving Nina's room, the three children made sure to close Nina's bedroom door tightly to avoid being scolded by their "mother."

After all, in the minds of the three children, as long as their "mother" did not discover that they had beaten Nina immediately, they would not be blamed by their "mother".

The room fell silent.
