Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

When she was about to reach a fork in the road, Kiana saw a gray-haired girl wearing a shabby white shorts and shorts walking out of the fork in the road. She looked very weak, and she was shaky as she walked. There was no energy at all, and he fell there after taking only a few steps.

Kiana was about to step forward to check the situation, but another girl also dressed in white ran out, calling her name while throwing herself on the ground and hugging her.

"Bella! Bella, wake up! Woohoo...Bella!!!"

The voice of the girl crying and calling for her companions echoed in the corridor, which made Kiana feel heartbroken. As if she heard the call of her companions, the gray-haired girl named Bella, who was lying in the girl's arms, tried her best to open her eyes, and used a weak voice in a trance. The voice replied: "I...it's okay..."

"Bella... please, don't leave me alone... please... don't leave..."

Looking at her dying companion in her arms, the girl's tears couldn't stop falling. She begged, begging him not to leave her...

Seeing such a scene made Kiana extremely heartbroken, but before she could step forward, two people in white coats who looked like tower researchers came out from behind and started yelling at the two children.

"Two losers! Get up quickly if you have nothing to do, don't waste time!"

As he said that, one of the researchers wearing glasses kicked the girl who was holding her companion in her arms on the waist. The girl was kicked so hard that it hurt, but the first words out of her mouth were: "Well... we are fine! We are fine. ! Let’s get up right now, please, please don’t…”

The girl lowered her head and begged, while desperately trying to help her companion up. When the other researcher saw this, he also smacked his tongue and shook his head.

"Tsk, I don't know what the guys outside are doing. The efficiency of finding "samples" is so low, these guys are probably going to die. "

"Just look for it again. I will tell the superiors to send them over quickly."

The two adults complained, as if they didn't take the two poor children seriously at all, and their tone seemed to be describing inanimate objects. There were a few children standing behind them, but those children looked at the two people on the ground and did not even dare to breathe. They just huddled together tremblingly, for fear of meeting the researchers' terrifying gazes.

After the girl with messy long purple hair and bandages on her hands and feet finally struggled to help her companion, the two of them didn't take a few steps before the gray-haired girl fell there again. It seemed that she was in poor health. It's extremely bad, and I'm afraid there won't be much time left.

"Bella...oooo!!?"

Seeing her companion fall down again, the girl immediately went to help her, but she didn't want to be kicked down by the researcher behind her. The girl's thin, pale cheek hit the cold floor, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"What a waste, get up quickly, and you, stop pretending to be dead!"

"Okay, okay, let's get up right now, let's get up right now...please calm down..."

The researcher wearing glasses insulted the two girls while stretching out his foot to step on the gray-haired girl's head: "Get up, do you hear me?"

"Bella!!!"

Seeing her companion being stepped on by the researcher, the girl struggled to crawl to her side and pushed the man's feet away with all her strength, holding her tightly in her arms to protect her.

When the researcher saw this, he became angry and stepped on the purple-haired girl's head: "How dare you push me? If you have the strength, just get up and walk!"

"Uh...wu...wuwu..."

No matter how the researcher kicked and cursed her, the girl gritted her teeth and endured it, with no intention of letting go of her companion. She only used her body to protect the girl named Bella, while she used her weak body to bear the pain of that person again and again. Angry stampede.

"You bastard!!! Stop it!!!"

Anger unconsciously occupied all Kiana's thoughts. She rushed forward and punched the researcher in the face, but she didn't expect that the fist passed through the man's face.

"This!? What's going on!?"

Kiana was unwilling to give in, and raised her fist to hit it again, but it was still nothing. She suddenly understood that all this may not be reality, maybe it is just a three-dimensional image.

But what about the ice and snow just now? The biting cold wind, the icy snowflakes... they are all so real, are they also images...?

"Is this...consciousness immersion mode...? What is going on..."

Kiana couldn't figure out the answer for a moment, but the bullying in front of her continued, with no intention of stopping.

She looked at the girl who was being stepped on repeatedly by the researcher but was using her body to protect her companion. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had to turn her head and clenched her fists, closed her eyes and tried not to look at this tragic scene.

"Who can help me…"

In the dark, Kiana seemed to hear the girl's almost inaudible cry for help. She opened her eyes suddenly and looked around, only to see the girl slightly moving her bleeding lips: "Who comes...Mom...save Xilin?" …Save Siren…Save Bella…”

"!?"

Kiana was shocked when she heard this name.

"Her name is Siren? For such a young child, could it be that she is..."

Sixteen years ago, the culprit who caused the "Second Collapse", "Second Herrscher" Siren...

But the child in front of me is just an ordinary girl who is much younger than herself. How is this possible...

Kiana could not understand all this more and more. She didn't understand what the scene in front of her was trying to tell her. She only felt angry and sad. Such a tragedy was happening in front of her, but she could only watch helplessly.

Her thoughts gradually became confused, and her angry mood could not be calmed down at all. Only bursts of anger burned in the girl's heart.

The unbearable insults and the girl's painful whimpering made Kiana choose to raise her fist again. Even though she knew it was ineffective, as a "Valkyrie" and a warrior who inherited the name of "Kaslana", facing this kind of No matter how violent it was, she could not stand aside and watch silently.

"Stop...give me...stop!!!"

When Kiana was about to rush forward again, she seemed to suddenly see a familiar figure flashing past her.

Then, the insults stopped and the bullying stopped. The researcher who was so arrogant just now was frozen in place, not daring to move.

But the reason why the violence stopped was not because of the man's conscience, but because a dark sword with cold light was pressed against his throat, making him dare not act rashly.

Looking along the edge of the sword, I saw a black-haired boy wearing a black coat with a white fur collar, standing with a sword.

His somewhat immature face had a calmness that was completely inconsistent with his appearance, and at this moment, the young man's eyes revealed a cold light that was sharper than the blade of the sword in his hand.

"That's...Captain!?"

Kiana recognized the man at a glance as the captain she was very familiar with. Although his clothes were slightly different from her impression, she could never mistake him for his unique temperament and the "Key of God" in his hand. .

"Who are you!?"

"..."

The researcher asked with a trembling voice, his pale face completely lost the ferociousness just now, but the young man completely ignored it. He looked at the two dying children beside him, and the coldness in his eyes became obviously a bit heavier.

Kiana seemed to have never seen that kind of look... It was different from the gentleness and depth in her impression. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was sharp enough to easily pierce the deepest part of the soul.
