Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The captain thought, and the two fell into a brief silence.

In most cases, Kevin's silence is not without value, which shows that silence is the answer he gives. It seems that he does not want to tell himself what happened.

The captain was thinking about this, but he was not completely confused. As he said, this man who was charged with the mission of "saving the world" probably would not have the leisure to swim in the Quantum Sea.

So, assuming that he did not actively choose to come to the Quantum Sea, and that in the Quantum Sea he even needs to rely on Xi'er to act freely on his behalf, then there is probably only one most likely answer among the remaining choices. …

Is he trapped here?

This sounds like a very absurd conclusion, because even the captain has a hard time imagining that anyone can trap the man in front of him.

However, "preconceptions" is also not a good habit when thinking. Before capturing the key clues, this possibility cannot be easily denied.

"In that case, let me change the angle. Kevin, you don't seem to be curious about why I appear here."

"I know."

"?"

"I know, Zhi." The man opened his ice-blue eyes, and the dark cold light reflected the dark night sky in the young man's eyes: "You don't need to explain, we have experienced similar things many times."

"..."

As he spoke, Kevin's eyes swept across the scarred body of his old friend. As a comrade who once stood side by side, the answer was already clear in his heart.

He tried his best to save the thing he wanted to save, but even though he was bruised and even lost his life, he still had nothing. In the end, he still didn't hold on to anything.

That's all.

Maybe I should have thought that if the other person was this person, the various things that happened to me would be the least in need of explanation.

……

But, is that really all there is to it?

Maybe Kevin did guess what happened to him and understood it, but if that was the case, then why was his gaze vaguely trying to pry into the truth in his eyes at this moment?

Like an unnoticed sharp edge, it wants to break through the deep night sky and seek out the star hidden in the deepest part... that emits extremely faint light.

Kevin Kaslana…

What exactly does he want to confirm?

"Kevin."

The captain stretched out his hand to signal Miss Butterfly in his hand to leave. Upon seeing this, the blue butterfly in the captain's hand immediately flapped its wings and flew away from his hand.

Then, struggling almost forcibly, the captain used his hands that were still stained with blood and burns to pick up the rocks next to him, and forced his body, which was already covered with wounds, to stand up tremblingly.

Yes, some words must be said with equal sight.

"I want to go back."

"..."

Hearing this, the white-haired man fell silent again, briefly closing his eyes as if thinking about something.

Why go back? What can you do now when you go back? What is there that you need to protect even in this situation?

The captain knew that this man would never have similar doubts. When he said these words, Kevin should have understood that his old friend had already fully considered it. Therefore, he closed his eyes and thought. Yes, it should only be consent or rejection.

A moment later, while opening his eyes, the man spoke: "This is the lowest level of the Quantum Sea. Going back to the world on the branches of the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" from here is not as easy as diving into a world bubble. You need special "powers" and "beacons" for our world. "

"'Power' and 'Beacon'..."

"I will find a way to solve the beacon issue. As for the power..."

Along with a brief pause, the man stretched out his right hand towards his old friend in front of him, and a faint purple light came out from between the man's fingers. When the other person's hand was fully opened, the captain only saw the crystal that shimmered with purple light. The pendant was hanging quietly in his hand.

"Xiaoye..."

"She was very wise and did not leave me immediately after her core recovered a little strength. Instead, she accepted the Honkai Energy acceleration replenishment I gave her. Now, the power of the "Key to Space" should be fully charged. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the crystal pendant in Kevin's hand automatically floated up, paused in front of his eyes for a moment, as if to express his gratitude, and then turned into a ray of light and instantly returned to the collar of his real owner.

"Thank you for helping me protect her." His fingertips caressed the crystal pendant on his collar, and the captain's expression became noticeably more relaxed.

Apart from memories, the only important thing left to him by his cherished family was that the captain did not want to lose it no matter what.

"She has not forgotten me, and I just gave the appropriate response." The man looked at the pendant between his old friend's collar, crossed his arms and replied, and then continued: "The power of the "Key to Space" It can take you back to our world, and there is no need to worry about the beacon, but before that, you should make a choice - the Herrscher of the "Origin" or the "End". "

"..."

With this somewhat unexpected title for the captain, powerful pressure emanated from the white-haired man again, making Xi'er on the side feel frightened, and along with this pressure seeping out of the man, There is also a faint chill.

"Kevin..."

The relaxed look on the captain's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a calm but extremely serious face.

Under Xi'er's silent gaze, the two men looked at each other, as if they were engaging in some kind of invisible wrestling.

"Zhi, your body has reached its limit a long time ago. Your current state is infinitely close to "death." You should know the consequences of taking this step. However, as her successor, you still have one last chance. "

"Her successor...?"

"Accept everything she entrusts to you, and you can at least temporarily avoid the fate of becoming the "end". "

"Are you already aware of this? It seems that I am not the only one who has come up with the answer in these thousands of years." Hearing this, the black-haired boy replied unusually calmly, and equally calmly, the man who had already The tragic epic buried in the distant past also began to be told verbatim from the mouth of the man in front of him.

"Fifty thousand years ago, in the last battle, the "Herrscher of the End" chose you to become the "End" of the next civilization, so you were not killed by him. "

"..."

"She...the life Alicia gave you should only be enough for you to live a normal life, but the authority of "the end" is above her, and she stopped your time, so you have walked until now. "

"Ah…"

The man's words made the captain's mind seem to go back to fifty thousand years ago...the day when their era ushered in the "end" judgment and the last day.
