Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

Walking aimlessly in the maze, she unknowingly came to a huge palace.

"Hmm? Originally, was there such a building?"

Stepping in carefully, she saw Klein, who was still sleeping, and Su.

But this time, she didn't dare wake them up again.

Sitting down, she picked up the book on the ground.

If it were in the past, she would have treated these as treasures and kept them.

But now, she won't.

Looking at the familiar faces there, only a few days have passed, but to Padu, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Why... am I feeling sad?

Tears rolled down her cheeks again, and even Padua felt her own cowardice.

This is the nth time she has cried.

I seldom cried before.

Can……

"It's so sudden~" Wiping away her tears, the girl hugged the book in her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the lost past.

"It was so sudden. We were clearly together in my memory, but how come...when I turned around, there was nothing left."

"I~I rarely lost things before, but why did I lose you this time~"

Maybe...she should never have been brave.

Maybe she should really hide as she said, and then...

"Pado, is that you?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.

"Su?"

The voice was familiar, it was Sue.

She looked up subconsciously, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, making her vision a little blurry.

Wiping away her tears hurriedly, the girl looked with surprise and hope, but saw that Su in front of her was still sleeping.

"Is it an illusion?"

"No, it's not that. It's a little fluctuation of consciousness that I left behind." The voice sounded again, this time very clear, and even gave an explanation.

"Pado, are you...alone now?"

Perhaps everything happened too suddenly. After being questioned, Pado was not as excited as imagined. Instead, she was dazed.

"Su, can you still recognize me?"

"Yeah, of course."

After getting this definite answer, Padona's dazed eyes began to waver a little.

"That's great! That's great... I, I thought I would never be able to meet you all again." At that moment, the girl's tense spirit finally softened.

The surprise came so suddenly that she couldn't suppress her emotions and burst into tears.

In these few short days, she had gone through so much that even she couldn't count it.

Too much grievance and pain intertwined, making this already timid girl reach the brink of mental collapse.

Now she was venting her emotions, and no one could hear them clearly, but the intermittent sobbing and the loud noise foreshadowed the pressure, fear, and loneliness that the girl was facing at this moment.

She really needs someone who can listen to her, she really needs someone who can comfort her, and she really needs someone who can tell her...

"You are not alone, you are not abandoned."

Everyone was around her, but she was alone.

She clearly wanted to save everyone, but she was hated by everyone.

She clearly wanted to be with everyone, but there... was no place for her.

All these things had worn away all her courage, and she didn't know how to hold on.

She...wanted to give up.

"........."

"I'm sorry, Padu." Su spoke slowly after Padu's crying gradually subsided.

"It must be painful for you to bear this alone, right?"

"I...I..." Wiping her tears, Padu nodded.

"But it doesn't matter. Now...now Su, you're back." Having said that, Paduo's eyes were filled with hope again.

Can……

"I'm sorry, I'm not actually talking to you, but a mental connection."

"Besides, as your condition gets worse, I'm afraid even this won't be possible."

"...Of course, this data won't last long."

"Well, then I..." Padu stood up, but heard Su continue to tell the story.

"I know you are scared, but we have no way out."

"Pado, I won't force you to do anything, and none of us has the right to force you."

"But I think you also want to change something, right?"

"..."

"…But…we don't even know what's going on here now."

...

"In fact, Wei Wei's device is not perfect. It has helped us stabilize the situation temporarily, but it is only temporary."

"For the time being..." There was obvious helplessness in Su's voice, and this answer made Paduo a little dazed, not knowing what it meant.

"See me over there?"

As Su finished speaking, Padu looked at Su who was sitting over there.

"That is not my original body. You can think of it as a replacement doll."

"Don't try to wake him up. Although the memories in it are the same as ours, they are very confused, the consciousness is not right, and more importantly, the memory is also fragmented."

"If you try, what is awakened in this situation is just a puppet that carries some of our memories."

"Perhaps in their minds, they are no different from us, and they would not think of helping the enemy."

"But puppets are puppets after all. With a little guidance, they may make decisions that they think are correct but are completely wrong."

At this point, Paddo finally understood.

Why can't Ying Jie be awakened? Because these are just puppets.

A person who can become an enemy due to erroneous information with just a little guidance, idiot?

"But why do you do this? Why do you make these puppets?"

This puppet is too similar to Yingjie, otherwise Pado wouldn't have failed to notice that something was wrong with Hua for so long.

“Perhaps, in order to lift the lockdown in the same way.”

"You know, we are just memories after all, and the blockade uses the data of the eight of us."

"There is a fatal flaw in Weiwei's device. Our data is currently in the engraving. But if there is a container that can carry that data, then... the other party can use it to forcibly close the engraving."

“I think this is what they want.”

Everything made sense at this moment.

The data of eight heroes were integrated into the cursor, blocking the paradise.

In order to break free, the enemy made puppets, transmitted incomplete false memories, and used Bai Mo to control them to step into the cursor.

As long as the consciousness of the heroes is put back into a data body, the cursor will naturally be removed without its base.

This is also the reason why Su and her friends will carry out the plan even though they don’t have much confidence in it.

Puppets are just puppets. Even if they have the characteristics of heroes, they are not complete heroes and are naturally inferior in ability.

On this basis, their behavior will be induced and manipulated little by little, making decisions that they think are correct, but are actually completely wrong.

This is the truth.

From the beginning to the end, they were deceived into the abyss step by step by each other.

As for why they had to go through such a long detour, I'm afraid... it was because Yingjie's data didn't match his body. This was an accident, or it might be Wei Erwei's last line of insurance.

In this case, the only one who can break the status quo is Bai Mo. But they don't dare to confront Bai Mo head-on in their current situation, so they can only lure her into the abyss step by step.

Did you make it?

very successful.

One person's speculation is questionable. Bai Mo also knows that there is a traitor among the heroes, so he will definitely be on guard.

But when all the heroes are moving towards the same goal, even if there are some things worth pondering, even if it is just to live up to others, Bai Mo will not rashly deny all the heroes.

Because what is needed is not courage or confidence, but... the will of the leader.

Denying one person is not the same as denying a group of people.

It's still the same question. There are only two types of people who can say no with the intention of disappointing everyone, and put aside cowardice and escape.

One is to be an absolute leader.

One... is a thousand calamities.

And it is obvious that Bai Mo is neither Qianjie nor does he possess absolute leadership ability.

She is not Sue, not Mei, and certainly not Kevin.

This meant that when all the heroes agreed that she was right, it would be difficult for her to say no to everyone.
