Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

"..."

Sure enough, the cold gaze did not change, the man's will was not shaken by it, and he did not even tell her old friend about it.

"Please Kevin, please let me stand before you as a friend."

Open one hand.

"I know you've never changed, so... let's go back to the past for a moment, okay?"

"It's like our first meeting. Alysia pulled me to you."

"Do you remember? It was you who took the initiative..."

"She wants you to live."

"Huh?" Kevin's abrupt voice made Bai Mo pause for what he was about to say.

"What did you say?"

Or maybe he didn't expect Kevin to answer like this, because this sentence was a bit unexpected to Bai Mo.

"Alishia wants you to live."

"But later, you asked me for a future death."

A cold gaze swept towards Xiao Jianjian.

He was talking about the agreement made on that day. He and Bai Mo had agreed that one day in the future, he would give her real death.

"But you didn't."

Shaking his head, Bai Mo held the small sword in front of him.

A calm gaze swept over it. This sword was also a witness to the agreement between her and Kevin.

Although in the end, Kevin did not fulfill this promise.

"Kevin, you said... Alicia wanted me to live."

"What does it mean?"

"literal meaning."

This time His answer was very straightforward, but it also made Bai Mo smile bitterly.

"Come on Kevin, you know I don't want such an ambiguous answer."

"I need an explanation, a detailed explanation."

"Right now."

"..."

Expected silence.

Even though Bai Mo acted very serious and strong at this moment, it was obvious that this cold man did not show any fluctuations due to the change of the girl's will.

But silence, sometimes, can mean a lot in itself.

"Really...it's quite funny."

Shrugging his shoulders, seeing that the person in front of him was unmoved, the light in Bai Mo's eyes dimmed, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"So... you think I really shouldn't know anything, and you think that will protect me..."

"Is it right?"

This was probably the first time she asked this question like this.

Just as she once said, she could understand that everyone was hiding things from her.

Never force, never ask, and never make things difficult for those around you.

Just pretend you know nothing and be the fool who has been fooled.

But now, she felt the same feeling in Kevin.

So, this kind of thing started 50,000 years ago?

When he learned the result, Bai Mo was surprisingly calm.

She didn't say anything more, as if she didn't care about it.

But perhaps only she herself knew that if possible, she really wanted to ask:

"why?"

"..."

"follow me."

Perhaps it was because he saw the gloom in Bai Mo's eyes, or perhaps he came here for this very reason, that Kevin actually took the initiative to invite him.

"Where?"

“A place without pain.”

"A place outside the Stigmata Project."

"It won't affect you and the people you cherish around you."

“There, you don’t have to face the future either.”

"..."

It’s so magical, can ice cubes say so much?

But this time, the silent person turned out to be Bai Mo.

She suddenly thought of a line from Kevin in the game.

[This is the limit of the kindness I can offer.]

So, was this the final mercy He showed to His former comrade-in-arms when He was carrying out the Stigmata Plan?

It's a pity.

"You know Kevin, there's no way I can promise you that."

"I know." Kevin was not surprised, or rather, he had expected this.

"Not only that, I will also prevent the Stigmata Project from going forward."

As he spoke, Bai Mo gripped the core a little tighter to express his determination!

"But you don't have time."

But surprisingly, Kevin's answer was affirmative. Announcement?

"What do you mean?"

"I think I used an affirmative tone rather than a question." He folded his arms across his chest, as he always did, as if he would die if he said a few more words.

Of course, compared to verbal responses, responses in action are sometimes more direct.

For example...the core that appeared in Kevin's hand at some point is the best proof.

"This……"

He clenched his palms, and the empty feeling made Bai Mo realize that the core had been taken away.

It was also at that moment that a light bulb went off in Bai Mo's mind and a bolt of thunder struck.

She seemed to understand what Kevin meant.

"Wait! Kevin, tell me, how many cores do you need?"

"Three."

The answer without hesitation made Bai Mo's heart tighten.

"So which one is this?"

"The third."

"..."

The question and answer only took a few seconds, but the result made Bai Mo relax for dozens of seconds before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have always believed that the Stigma Project has only just begun and is in its initial stages."

"But from what you just said, can I understand it as..."

"The Stigma Project has come to an end?"

……

When did Kevin leave?

I don’t know, it seemed that it disappeared after Kiana and the others brought Siegfried out of the crystal.

Before leaving, he looked at Kiana deeply.

This shows that Kiana has indeed attracted their attention.

This clumsy paramecium gradually walked to the center of the stage.

only……

According to the results, she did get some information out of Kevin before he left.

Um...well, Kevin told her on his own initiative.

But...! I heard that myself! So I don't care! The trick was successful!

Among these pieces of information, the most eye-catching and the one that people care about the most is naturally the last sentence.

He needs three cores, and just now, Kevin has left with the third core.

In other words, the Stigmata Project has come to an end.

What is this concept?

She thought they were in the moon shopping phase.

But in fact, the situation has reached the stage of the end, origin, and truth fighting against ancestor Kevin.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon be forced to challenge the final boss.

Can……

"Oh~!"

A feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart, and Bai Mo didn't know how to tell everyone about this.

After all, if they face Kevin head-on now, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

Of course, you could also suspect that this is Kevin's bluff.

But Bai Mo doesn't think so.

Kevin...is not that boring.

There is no need to lie to yourself.
