Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

Even so, the clothes on the little girl obviously could not provide warmth, proving that even if there was no snow on her body, she still could not avoid the cold.

"Come over here, please. I'll get you some blankets."

Although Bai Mo was distracted, he still turned up the air conditioner temperature again and planned to get some blankets and hot water.

"Don't do unnecessary things, just do your job well."

The old man was very rude and even said some impolite words which made Bai Mo startled.

But she was not angry. On the contrary, she looked back with a smile.

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about delaying my work. I'm actually... usually quite free."

Having said that, Bai Mo didn't seem to realize that she could easily read his true meaning from the old man's strange words.

The old man said no more.

But he didn't let Bai Mo do anything.

Those eyes were still so empty, and no more extra emotions were shown.

"Have you ever seen snow?"

"Eh?" Or maybe the warm wind from the air conditioner warmed up the old man's cold heart a little.

Or seeing Bai Mo's eyes, hiding the flame beating in his heart,

The old man finally spoke, breaking the uncomfortable environment that Bai Mo was in.

But those were not very kind words, and the questioning tone made Bai Mo a little confused.

"Of course, after all...it's still snowing outside."

The previous silence made Bai Mo feel depressed. Although the casual chat at this time was inexplicable, the old man helped Bai Mo resolve his inner uneasiness in a timely manner.

He probably doesn't like to talk much, let alone chat.

So...it was more like taking care of Bai Mo's emotions.

"That……"

There was a slight pause in his voice, and his eyes, which had never been directed towards him, slightly raised their heads and looked at the spinning windmill on the table.

"It's cold when the snow falls on you, right?"

"..."

Is it cold?

It seems... this is the first time someone has asked me this question.

As a fusion warrior, how could I feel cold when snow falls on my body?

Can……

Is it really not cold?

Faced with this question that didn't seem to be worth thinking about, instead of answering it, Bai Mo fell into self-questioning.

But the old man didn't seem to care whether he could get an answer.

He took a lollipop from the counter and put it in the girl's hand.

The girl happily took it and blew out warm air gently so that her frozen little hands could peel off the sugar coating.

"It's cold when the snow falls on me."

"But that winter she stood in the snow for the first time."

"The wind was strong, but the icy cold could not extinguish the fiery heartbeat in her heart. Her steps were like peeling off the sugar coating, fading away the memory called "the past."

"Yes, she is using her small body to warm her broken soul."

"She has always been like this, sewing and mending by herself, and even though she is already exhausted, she is still piecing together her way forward."

"So sometimes I wonder, why is she here, and where will her future be?"

"But when I looked up, when I realized that there would always be someone walking with her for a short time on this road..."

"That person shouldn't be me..."

The girl put the peeled candy into her mouth.

The old man leaned over and gently stroked the girl's face.

He smiled, but there was too much in it.

Helpless? Bitter? No...

Or when he came in front of the girl, he found out...

"It turns out she had already peeled the candy."

"turn out to be……"

"You are no longer afraid of the cold."

……

The old man left.

"Hey~"

Bai Mo wanted to say something, but the person had already pushed the door and left, stepping into the falling snow.

Outside the house, the figure of an old man walked past the snowman.

Some snow fell from the big snowman.

The third snowman built beside him seemed to be woken up.

"Ok?"

Open your eyes.

Glance around, then...

The little hand stretched out to open an umbrella, inserted it into the ground to shield himself from the wind and snow, then he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

"..."

"It's snowing."

Watching the snow falling outside the window.

Bai Mo looked back.

On the table, there are things left by the old man.

Is it... a burned chip?

Holding it in my hand, for some reason, this tiny chip feels so heavy at this moment.

Open the door and walk into the heavy snow.

Let the snowflakes fall on you.

"The last time I saw snow like this was more than a decade ago."

When I closed my eyes, it seemed as if I had opened them more than ten years ago, and saw the girl appear in the heavy snow.

That day, she also saw such a heavy snow.

"It must be very cold when the snow falls on you."

"It's cold."

"It's very cold..."

……

"So...how many times has this happened?"

Perhaps he finally realized something, Bai Mo smiled bitterly and talked to himself in the deserted snow.

"The one hundred and thirty-fourth time."

The huge snowman behind her collapsed, holding up a black umbrella, and the gray snake strolled behind the girl.

"This is also the one hundred and thirty-fourth time we have met, my lord."

"This..." Bai Mo raised his hand and looked at the chip in his palm.

"Is this your first time?"

"Yes." Gray Snake did not hide it.

“In these more than one hundred dreams, you always realize that the dream is false and choose to return to the starting point of the dream again.”

"It's just that this time, something different appeared in this dream."

"It turns out that it has happened more than a hundred times." Bai Mo smiled bitterly and tried to turn back, but heard:

"Please, please don't look back."

"..."

"Because when we meet again, we are enemies, right?"

"..."

"I understand." Bai Mo nodded. The gray snake's silence had already answered the question.

Although……

"I didn't expect that you would come to my side, and I didn't expect that you would hesitate to become my enemy in the implementation of the Stigmata Plan."

In the original plot, the person Gray Snake faced was Raiden Mei.

But now, he appeared here.

"I didn't expect it, but... it's pretty good now."

"Isn't it?"

Shrugging, the gray snake took a step forward.

"After all, if I don't do anything, you won't choose to wake up from your dream."

"I can complete the task without becoming your enemy, which is..."

"Kill two birds with one stone?"

"Are you so confident?" Bai Mo didn't turn around, but it seemed that Huishe saw the doubt in her eyes.

"These 133 choices are the best answer."

I think this is not the first time we have had such a conversation.

This was not the first time that Gray Snake had answered Bai Mo's questions.

Perhaps in this cycle of dreams, the only difference is the only number that jumps among the same answers.

Today, it is one hundred and thirty-three.

"..."

"Because of this, Kiana?"

"So it's not just this chip. Kiana coming to me this morning and her falling asleep in front of me are things that didn't happen in the previous hundred times, right?"

"You are very smart." The gray snake nodded and stood beside Bai Mo. As long as Bai Mo turned his head slightly, he could see him.

"You know about the Stigmata Project, right?"

"Transform humans into stigmata beings, live in a false world, let the stigmata control humans, and cross the end."

"Thus is achieved the victory of civilization and the defeat of mankind."

Bai Mo told everyone what he knew about the Stigmata Plan.

But I felt the gray snake shaking its head.

"You know it very well, but that plan has been further improved by the Lord."

"Now, you are the core of this huge dream network. You are the entrance and the only exit."

"..."

Perhaps, she understood why she had not chosen to wake up more than a hundred times.

I can wake up by myself, and the gray snake can't stop me, but...

"If I wake up, no one else will wake up, right?"

"Yes."

A helpless result.

This is also what Gray Snake said, that is why he does not need to face Bai Mo and can also make Bai Mo choose to bow his head.

Because there was only one choice she could make from beginning to end.

Continue to sleep, continue to wander in dreams.

"But, Kiana should be awake by now, right?"

But Bai Mo did not despair after learning the result. On the contrary, she felt relieved.

Because this proves that Kiana may have woken up through this exit.

Although she didn't know how Kiana came to her side.

But... there is still hope.

Humans still have the possibility of swinging their swords at Kevin.

"Gray snake."

"Ok?"

"Watch the snow with me."

Taking a step forward, Bai Mo put his hands behind his back and faced the sky.

"In the future, I will thank you for accompanying me into the snow again and again."

"..."

"It's my honor." The gray snake behind him was like a gentleman and a butler, quietly accompanying Bai Mo.

I think he will remember this day.
