Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The moonlight is not very good tonight. Under the cover of the clouds, only a little faint moonlight shines through the clouds and mist to the world.

Even so, the captain's eyes were immediately attracted to Himeko, who was leaning against the stone railing and shaking a can.

Although the moonlight was not bright, Jizi stood there, as eye-catching as a light in the dark night.

As if she noticed the gaze from here, Jizi turned around and shook the remaining beer in her hand: "What's wrong, Captain~ Are you looking at me fascinated?"

"After all, there is a beauty drinking alone against the fence under the moonlight. It's hard not to notice, right?"

After saying that, the captain also stepped forward, turned around and leaned on the stone railing. Jizi smiled, turned around, raised the can in her hand and took a sip.

"What's wrong? I'm standing here drinking alone."

"Hey, if you drink inside, you're probably going to be scolded by Theresa again, right?"

"Then I'll go tell Theresa now?"

"Hey! Captain, you are not allowed to snitch. I managed to sneak some out while Theresa was taking a shower."

"But your body..."

"..."

The captain didn't finish the second half of the sentence, and Jizi just smiled knowingly.

Her physical condition is indeed no longer able to withstand the abuse. Jizi knows this better than anyone else.

Due to the flaws of "Artificial Stigma" itself, although it can simulate the operation of "Natural Stigma" to a certain extent and can greatly improve the Honkai Energy resistance of the Valkyrie, at the same time, the user must also endure a great deal of stress. Physical burden.

If used for a long time, the physical condition will become worse and worse, and in the end, the ability and opportunity to step onto the front line will no longer be available.

Ever since the "Stigmata" mission to find the legendary hero "Ji Lin" in the South China Sea region of China failed half a year ago, she has been fully mentally prepared for her current situation.

Although the mission failed, she heard from Theresa afterwards that the captain had a sad expression on his face that was rarely seen during the mission.

She actually cared more about this than the failure of the mission, but when she asked the captain about it, the captain didn't say it clearly. It should be said that he seemed not to know how to explain it to himself.

And what happened next? Later, the captain seriously discussed something with Himezi in private, but was flatly rejected by Himeko. Perhaps he noticed the "stubbornness" in Himezi's eyes, and the captain never took the initiative to mention the matter again.

"If the body eroded by "Honkai Energy" can be restored at the cost of returning to normal life, are you willing to accept it?"

Thinking about it now, was the answer at that time correct?

"Don't worry, it's just a little bit, compared to this..."

In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming heavy, Jizi changed the topic and asked about the swordsmanship taught to her by the captain.

At first, the captain was quite relaxed when he answered Himeko's question, but when she asked about the name of this incredible swordsmanship that could make up for the shortcomings of the great sword in combat, the captain fell silent briefly.

""Ragnar's Fighting Swordsmanship"...that's what it's called. "

"..."

When the captain spoke the answer to this question with a hint of regret, the can that was shaking in Jizi's hand stopped shaking, and the night returned to its original silence.

"Really...Captain, you..."

"Sorry, Himeko, just now...I saw the photos in the book you lent to Kiana."

"Photo……"

Hearing what the captain said, Jizi remembered that she had put the photo in the book before and forgot to take it back when she lent it to Kiana.

Unexpectedly, the captain actually saw it by accident...

"You guys...really know each other..."

The young man nodded, but the smile on his face looked a little bitter.

"I'm sorry for keeping this secret from you."

"You don't have to apologize, Captain, because I never knew how to bring this up to you either."

Hearing this, the captain smiled helplessly. When he saw Jizi's information, of course he also discovered that Jizi was a member of the "Valkyrie Stormtroopers".

But in the end, for the same reason, neither of them took the initiative to mention the name "Ragnar" in almost two years.

"But, do you care?"

"Ha..." Jizi smiled bitterly and drank the remaining wine in the can.

"Ragnar's Fighting Swordsmanship"...

Ragna, both the captain and Himeko, have special feelings for this name.

For Himeko, Ragnar was her captain when she was in the "Valkyrie Stormtroopers" and the person who guided her to find what she should really do. Even though she has left, the feeling in her heart called "Hope and The will of "freedom" has also been inherited by Jizi.

For the boy, Ragna was his former "student" and his best friend. The two had known each other since before the "Second Collapse". After his memory was wiped out by his old friend, she had always been there. Taking care of myself whose memory is a little confused.

"Captain Ragnar once occasionally mentioned to us that she had a guy she wanted to capture, and she always carried that photo with her."

"Haha, this kind of thing does sound like what she would say...Have you kept that photo?"

"I discovered it when I was sorting out her belongings. I was really concerned about it at the time, so I made a copy of it on my own initiative."

"..."

"Originally, I wanted to find the person in the captain's photo, which was yours, the captain, but after asking, the information I got was that the person went to China at that time."

"At that time..."

As fate would have it, the two had met before the captain left the headquarters with his young disciple.

But when he came back from visiting the graves of two old friends and Hua Yu's parents, what he got was the sad news that Ragnar had died in the mission.

"However, then I thought that even if I saw that person, I wouldn't know what to say, right? And the other person might not want to mention such a sad thing, so I gave up."

"So, the document that was sent to me was..."

"Documents?" Jizi thought for a while, and got the impression that this was indeed the case.

"Ah, you are talking about those boxes that were sealed tightly by the captain. As for that one, since the recipient's digital ID and authentication information are basically specified on it, I will hand it over to the headquarters according to the captain's pre-notes."

"That's it..."

Hearing this, everything seemed to be connected in the captain's mind. Even if Jizi didn't do it, "Destiny" should properly handle those relics according to regulations, but there was actually such a connection.
