Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Captain...is this how he met Sirin?"

Although this picture touched Kiana very much, there are still many questions that have not been answered. For example, why did the captain appear in Siberia, why did Siren become the "Second Herrscher" despite being protected by the captain, and the tower itself...

As if in response to the questions in Kiana's mind, she suddenly felt dizzy again. Kiana wanted to hold on to the wall, but instead leaned against the wall and fell to the floor of a certain corridor.

"Hiss! It hurts, it hurts...what happened all of a sudden!" Kiana rubbed her butt and complained unhappily.

Following the dizziness just now, the scene changed again, and she returned to a corridor in the tower. At the same time, stern questioning came from behind.

"Research on technology that combines Honkai energy with the human body? Is this why you use so many children as experimental subjects?"

Kiana turned around when she heard the sound and saw the captain walking side by side with a familiar-looking blond man.

"That person is Otto?"

The captain seemed to be in a bad mood, but the man was very easy-going and just explained things nicely.

"Calm down, my friend, I know you hate this kind of thing, but you have to know that these are just some necessary small sacrifices on the way to fight against "Hengkai". "

"..."

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Otto continued to explain: "If the research is successful, the "Valkyries" fighting on the front line will benefit, and their lives will be more protected. Of course, those civilians affected by Honkai Energy will also be able to Enjoy better treatment. "

"..."

"My old friend, you have to know that if you want to protect the "peace" and "beauty" of this world...hehe, this is not easy. There is a reason why I do all this. "

"Peace…"

Hearing this, the captain grabbed Otto by the collar and pressed him against the wall: "Trampling on other people's lives in exchange for research results, what kind of peace is this, what kind of beauty is this!?"

The captain's words seemed to have a sharp edge, which made people dare not refute. The angry questions echoed in the corridor, but Otto remained calm.

"My friend, is it possible that in your time, no one does such a shady job?"

After hearing these words, the captain fell silent for a short time, and his eyes half-covered by his bangs revealed some complicated emotions. Otto seemed to have seized this gap and continued to defend himself.

"I don't mean to slander you, my friend, but you who have witnessed the demise of that era should understand that there is nothing for nothing in the world, and any "gain" has to pay a corresponding "price". On the road of fighting against "collapse" , especially so. "

"Ah…"

After a while, the young man sighed, let go of his hand and said with great disappointment: "Otto... I only have one sentence, and you got to the point."

"Oh? What is it?"

"That era has died."

"..."

After saying that, the young man passed by Kiana and walked forward without looking back. Otto was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.

Although Kiana on the side was confused, she couldn't help but shudder.

Although she rarely attends classes, the class monitor once mentioned that "Destiny" has made great progress in the application equipment of Valkyrie, the treatment of "Honkai energy" symptoms and the "artificial stigmata" when making up lessons for her. occurred within the past ten years.

If you think about it carefully, it seems too strange to be able to produce epoch-making leaps in multiple fields such as military, medicine, and biology at the same time.

But if all of this is really related to the "experiments" being conducted in this Babylon Experimental Tower, then... what are they, the peace and beauty guarded by the Valkyries, based on?

In order to avoid more sacrifices, is that why we have to make sacrifices first...?

And, what exactly does the "that era" the captain and Otto refer to?

"An era that has died..."

Thinking of this, Kiana suddenly felt extremely tired physically and mentally. She couldn't think of any conclusion, and she didn't know why she was here and why she was allowed to see these things.

But even so, the space she was in at the moment did not seem to be intended to give her a chance to breathe.

As expected, after another bout of tinnitus and dizziness, the scene in front of her changed again, and she returned to the same room.

But compared with the deserted atmosphere before, this dark room was actually a little more "lively" at the moment.

The thin white sheets turned into thick and soft quilts, and the star-shaped lamp on the bedside table also added a bit of warmth to the room.

Next to the wall stood a cabinet that had not been there before, which seemed to be used to store clothes. Next to the cabinet were two pairs of warm-looking boots with velvet insides and indoor shoes.

There are some books and a cassette game console on the table on the other side, and several game cassettes are placed next to the game console.

Kiana recognized the game cartridge at a glance as a long-out-of-print game: "Kallen Fantasy 3", the third game in the entire "Kallen Fantasy" series. It is said that it was extremely popular more than ten years ago.

But now this thing is already on the market and priceless. Among her friends, only Bronya still has a collector's edition cassette in her hand.

This actually reminded Kiana that when she borrowed a cassette from Bronya in the past, Bronya refused to lend it to her. On the contrary, it was later that she saw Bronya and the captain sitting together playing this game, and she had the opportunity to experience it.

However, now is not the time to care about such things, because next to her, a certain girl is sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly staring at the clock on the bedside table with its hour hand pointing to six o'clock.

"Celine..."

Kiana took a quick look and saw that the girl was wearing an exquisite dress, which was different from the messy one not long ago. Her long purple hair also exuded the youthful luster that she should have at this age. The previous wounds could no longer be seen on her fair face. , and his complexion looks much better, completely different from before.

It’s hard to imagine that before that she was just an extremely pitiful child wearing a shabby short coat and bandages on her hands and feet.

However, her expression did not become cheerful with the change in appearance. She just sat quietly by the bed and waited, as if she was waiting for someone to come back.

This silence lasted for a few minutes, until Kiana heard the faint footsteps coming from outside the door. Sirin suddenly stood up with some excitement, and then walked quickly to the door.

Kiana looked along and saw that the moment Sirin opened the door, the captain happened to appear at the door.
