Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

Quickly stepping forward to stop Jizi, Youlandel took the confused-looking woman deep into another confidential area of ​​the "Helheim Laboratory".

In the same dim experimental area, there were the same facilities as the experimental cabins Jizi had seen before. However, the purple light emitting from those experimental cabins did not seem to be the purple light of liquid collapse energy, but some kind of Special light blue glow.

After seeing clearly what was stored in the experimental cabins, Himeko immediately remembered one of the original true uses of the "Hellheim Laboratory" that the captain had mentioned before: to store and test the extremely secret secrets of the new God-killing Armor. Experimental zoning.

Looking at those things that would only appear in the top secret documents of the headquarters, Jizi couldn't help but wonder why Youlandel brought her here.

And when she saw a special red Valkyrie armor kept in the experimental cabin in the center of the laboratory, she seemed to understand the purpose of Hollander bringing her here.

……

"You mean, by putting on this armor, I will have the power to fight the Herrscher head-on?" "Looking at the red armor in the glass cover, Jizi couldn't believe what Youlandel said.

Although after referring to the captain's "Sword Knight Moon Blade" as a test machine for the God-killing armor, Himeko did admit that the fourth-generation Valkyrie God-killing Armor had a crushing advantage over the third-generation Valkyrie Armor, and even more Not to mention that the "Crimson" on his body is still a second-generation armor that has been eliminated long ago.

But even so, Himeko was still very doubtful that a simple suit of armor could give an ordinary Valkyrie a "Herrscher" level of combat power.

According to Hollander, the armor code-named "True Red Knight - Lunar Eclipse" in front of them is a technological product left over from the last civilization era. It is also the "technical prototype" of all god-killing armors of this generation. Therefore, It just looks special.

What's even more special about this is that "Eclipse" also has the ability that other God-killing armors do not have to be able to drive the "Herrscher Core" as an energy source and fully exert the corresponding core power, that is - Humans can briefly control the power that can only be controlled by the "Herrscher".

"Lunar Eclipse" can drive the "Herrscher Core" as an energy source. "Destiny" has been tested to a certain extent. This is why the main body of this armor is red at the moment, because it symbolizes "Fire" The "Disease Gem" with the power of "The Herrscher" has been loaded on it in advance.

"You want to give this to me?"

"If you...are really prepared." Youlandel's rare tone was a little wavering.

"It seems there is a secret hidden in it."

"'Destiny' once conducted a simulation test on the output power of this armor equipped with the 'Herrscher Core', and the result..."

"Oh, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The power of the "Herrscher" level is probably not something that ordinary people can easily bear, right? "

"Yes, as you said, while harnessing the power of the Herrscher, this armor will cause an irreparable and serious burden on the wearer's body. Even the Valkyrie, who has excellent adaptability to Honkai, will At the lowest output power, you can only wear it for 45 minutes at most. "

"What if it goes beyond that?"

"..."

"Haha, that's it."

Silence is undoubtedly the best answer to this question.

Jizi looked at the slightly melancholy look on the girl next to her and couldn't help but laugh lightly, "I thought it was no big deal, but that's the end of it. I'm going to order this armor."

"I'm not kidding you, Major Wuliangta, if you wear this and fight, you will definitely die."

"Yes, I know."

"Alas..." Finally, as if she had finished her mental struggle, Hollander lowered her head and sighed helplessly: "Then..."

Sliding the armor on her arm, Hollandale dialed someone's communication, and a female voice that Jizi had never heard before immediately popped out: "What's wrong, Bianca, could it be..."

"I'm going to use "that thing", Dr. Changguang. "

"..."

The woman on the other end of the communication was silent for a few seconds after hearing Hollander's words, and then confirmed: "Are you serious? Bianca, without the bishop's order, you used those words privately..."

"I bear all the responsibilities. You are just an unknowing victim who I secretly stole the ID card." Hollander said, taking out the identity authentication card that the other party gave her beforehand and shaking it in her hand. shake.

"Don't say that, Bianca. After all, I have something to do with Mr. Zhi. I can't imagine the expression on the former director's face when he heard about Mr. Zhi's accident. Well, since you think it's necessary, then... As promised before, I will help you with remote debugging here, and I am almost bored to death just sitting in this broken machine and monitoring you all the time."

"Thank you for being willing to help us, Chang Guang."

"Don't be too happy. The fitting and adjustment of this thing can't be completed in a short while, so hurry up."

"I see."

Hollander nodded, then inserted the card in her hand into the authentication device in front of the sealed cabin, and opened the iris camouflage device that Rita had placed on the armor for her in advance.

——The access request has been confirmed and iris authentication begins.

——Certification completed.

——Authentication authority: zero level.

——The request has been approved, Ms. Elizabeth McSmith, welcome to your visit.

When the mechanical beep ended, the sealed cabin was quickly opened under the operation of Youlandel, "Major of the Infinite Tower."

"Well, I see."

Jizi, who noticed something from the conversation between Youlandel and the lady she called Changguang, did not immediately ask questions. The two of them started dressing up in armor in a hurry, and with the remote assistance of Changguang The initial adaptation debugging of the "Eclipse" armor has begun.

It was not until dozens of minutes later that a sound of relief came from the other end of the communication, and Jizi, who knew that she was done, asked the blond girl next to her before leaving: "Youlandel, why do you want to help me? "

"..." Youlandel originally wanted to avoid this question, but looking at Jizi's hot eyes, she still answered without any concealment: "...You and I, like the teacher, have to protect each other. Things, so I made my choice, but if I can... I hope the teacher can be safe, and I don’t want him to be the price of my choice."

"Yeah…"

"Major Wuliangta, in fact, you can completely understand that for the safety of the teacher's life, I am forcing you to die. You... will become the victim that I will abandon as a substitute for the teacher's death."

Hearing this, Ji Zi smiled and shook her head: "No, I am very grateful to you, Youlandel. In this way, I can go all out to fight for everyone."

"..."

"Compared to me, it's you. You...this is a private act, right? Doesn't it matter?"

"This is the last thing I can do for you... for the teacher, but I will not use this to ask you to forgive me for taking Kiana away and destroying your stability and daily life. I have... done it a long time ago. I feel so enlightened.”

"...Pfft, hahaha."

Seeing the woman next to her suddenly start laughing, the girl couldn't help but become confused: "Major, what are you laughing at?"

"Haha... No, I just seem to understand why you became the captain's student."

"Eh?"

"Haha, then, Youlandel, thank you again for your help. The captain and the others are still waiting for me, so I will take the first step."

Watching Himeko in red armor walking out of the laboratory, the blond girl just silently prayed for her: "...Please take care, Major Wuliangta Himeko."

"Bianca, you should know that in her physical condition, even at the lowest power, she may not be able to last 30 minutes." The woman on the other end of the communication reminded seriously.

In the dim space that returned to silence, only Youlandel was left alone, and only the last words left by the girl could be heard: "Perhaps this is... one of the things the teacher wants to protect."
