Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

Chapter 1662 Let me be willful for once

"Hello."

"Hmm... should I call you "No. 17" or "Prometheus"?

In front of the cocoon of the end, Bai Mo looked up at the sky.

In fact, she didn't understand why people would subconsciously look up at the sky when they heard a sound coming from nowhere.

Obviously the ground seems simpler and more reasonable.

But... maybe it's instinct.

After all, Bai Mo also looked up at the sky subconsciously.

"The name is just a title, I don't care."

"In comparison, you seem much more relaxed than expected."

"Relax?" Bai Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Perhaps, it's only because I've let go of everything and irresponsibly discarded everything that I have the energy to think about these things."

"You don't have to feel guilty about this. What you are about to do is nothing short of a heroic act for civilization and even the universe."

"Hero..." Bai Mo's lips moved slightly, and he slowly whispered and repeated the two words.

Then he sighed bitterly.

"Although I really don't want to say it, I hate these two words now."

"That's not surprising." The slightly mechanical voice said slowly and steadily.

“To others, heroes are honor, symbols, and great men who are worthy of admiration and envy.”

"But only the heroes themselves understand the meaning behind these two words."

Was it an illusion? This sound was barely perceptible, yet it added a touch of emotion.

"Since the program started, I have found many traces of you in the imaginary numbers."

"I know your story, your emotions, your past, and every path you have taken."

"And... the truth you carry."

"Maybe I will forget you, and maybe my program will disappear. But at this moment, I want to thank Mei and I for being willing to go through this journey."

"Do you think the result would be different if it were someone else?" Bai Mo asked curiously.

But listen:

“That’s not a decision that everyone can make.”

"And according to my calculations, the probability of someone being able to walk here should be zero."

"But I came." Bai Mo shrugged.

“That’s why I say it was a really great decision.”

"You...are about to create a miracle."

"..."

"Should I say, it really is worthy of being an artificial intelligence that was mistaken for the God of Honkai?"

"I feel embarrassed for praising you so much."

With his hands on his hips, Bai Mo also understood many things.

such as……

"So as expected, Mei was able to guess the truth because of you, right?"

"The birth of the Outer Gods was too sudden, like a virus changing the balance of the forest." Perhaps this is the good thing about artificial intelligence.

He doesn't speak in riddles like Kevin does.

"The creator (the sea of trees) who follows instinct maintains the development of instinct, but the change of imaginary numbers will be the restart of the universe."

"The polluted imaginary energy can give birth to disordered gods, endlessly."

“And there is only one source for all this.”

"It's not hard to guess."

Okay, maybe I should take that back.

Should I say that he is worthy of following Kevin? This riddle is really good!

"So, this is the last leg of the journey, right?"

Bai Mo looked at the Cocoon of the End in the distance.

"The heart, which has acquired self-awareness, has already met the necessary conditions for 'Him' to awaken."

"But then you also lose the foundation of your heart."

“So, we need a container.”

"Given His thoughts on humans, I don't think anything would be more suitable than the Cocoon of the End that has witnessed the demise of countless civilizations."

Yes, that's it.

This is why even now, the Cocoon of the End is still the most important link.

because……

That was her vessel.

Because Bai Mo already has self-awareness and life.

In other words, she is already a human being.

Therefore, she needs to abandon these and find a container that can carry this human will.

The cocoon of the end of the world, which embraces and witnesses the demise and rebirth of countless human civilizations, has undoubtedly become the best and only choice.

With a human heart and a body that has witnessed the end of countless human civilizations, it was finally able to create the heartbeat that is now beating to bring it back.

"Thank you."

"..."

For the first time, it was silent.

How strange! Can artificial intelligence also be silent?

"I don't know."

"What I said is just the simplest answer."

Yes, it just told Bai Mo some of the simplest facts, which she herself might have already known.

But was greeted with a thank you.

This puzzled it.

This is also the first time I want to seek the answer to such a perhaps "insignificant" question.

"Because you said...I am a human, so I need a container."

"..."

"that is it?"

"Yes." Bai Mo nodded with a smile.

"This may not mean much to you, but to me, it is the best parting gift."

"That's why I want to say, thank you, thank you for answering the doubts and..."

"Unwilling."

Yes, I am unwilling.

Just as she asked herself in that square.

"So, am I still human?"

Now, she knows.

"I am a human being. It is because I am a human being that I need such a container."

This persistence comes from the heart and it seems meaningless.

But perhaps no one will ever understand how precious this answer is to her.

"Goodbye."

"Do not……"

“Maybe, there is no goodbye.”

"But at least in the end, I think I really saved something..."

"Right?"

Turning around, Bai Mo faced the Cocoon of the End and took a step forward.

"Someone once said that my salvation is sacrificing insignificant lives to save the so-called protagonists."

“So I think this time…”

“No one else will leave because of this, right?”

……

"call……"

At the end of life, should there be a monologue?

Or maybe, a revolving lantern?

But at this moment, I am walking towards this cocoon of the end.

This road is very short, so short that I can't even say too much about it.

But it’s also long…

Old enough that I can recall my past life again.

and so……

If you use a dream to declare your life, then why does it begin?

Is it the first budding of life? The first glimpse of the world? Or a story told by others?

But in my memory, I would rather say that this dream began in the night sky fifty thousand years ago, extinguished in the first snow of winter night, reignited in the palm of the pink girl, and died in the final meteorite.

Struggling in the cycle of life and death, walking on the Taixu Mountain surrounded by clouds, sleeping in the Babylonian experiment, and waking up on that snowy winter morning.

Look, I've come so far.

Whether it was lying in the arms of the old man, or taking on the first call of "Sister Bai", or relying on the call of "Xiao Mo".

I never stopped.

Now, I have to make another choice.

Just like when I set foot on that experiment...

Regret?

Sorry?

Have you ever thought about stopping?

I do not know.

I have really gone too far, so far that only memories can tell me...

Disappointment is the beginning of everything, discomfort is the dull process, despair follows closely, loneliness may last a lifetime, heartache only remains in the heart, and ends in sadness.

but……

Pretty exciting, right?

At least at this moment, I have a wonderful story to tell to you, to her, and to everyone who sees me off.

That is my story called "Life".

Maybe...it's not that beautiful.

I'm also sorry that you had to see me in such an embarrassing state.

but……

"I always do this, don't I?"

"I always make myself look so embarrassed like this."

At this moment, Bai Mo stopped in front of the Cocoon of the End.

Gazing at the giant cocoon that blocked out the sky, Bai Mo stretched out his hand with a relieved smile on his face.

"So... let me be willful one last time."
