Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

I feel like I'm in chaos...

It was as if the sensation in his body had been completely taken away, and he couldn't even feel whether his limbs were still there... The young man tried hard to open his eyes against the heavy pressure on his eyelids, but there was only darkness in his sight. Then, his hearing seemed to return. After a while, there was a slight sound of wind in my ears.

"..."

He wanted to say something, but no sound came out at all. He didn't know whether he was driving his body, or whether it was because his body was wrapped in the chaos in front of him. He moved forward hard and slowly.

I don’t know how long I walked, it could be a short while, or it could be a long, long time. In the darkness of nothingness, the young man finally saw a glimmer of light in his chaotic vision.

He walked along the light, but his body was so heavy that he felt like he was stuck in a quagmire. He had to use all his strength to feel his body, trying to reach out and grab the ray of light.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the glimmer of light. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the glimmer of light in front of him. The warm light swirled in his palm and caressed his palm.

He felt that he was suddenly relieved, and his body fell to his knees as if the force had been relieved. But then, all the consciousness in his body was restored in an instant, and the light in his hand disappeared without a trace, replaced by a cold hand. Short sword.

The bright red liquid slid down with the blade and dripped onto the ground covered with gravel and mud.

Looking up in the direction of the liquid flowing down, he saw that the short knife in his hand had already penetrated into the girl's body.

The young man's eyes trembled violently in his sockets. He had seen this scene countless times, but he was still so shocked by the scene in front of him that he even forgot how to breathe.

"I will always..."

The girl in front of him hugged him tenderly and kept repeating something in his ear in a weak tone, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

Just like that, the boy's consciousness was taken away from his body again, and his vision returned to darkness.

"..."

When he opened his eyes again, he was in the familiar desolate snowfield. On the other side of the horizon, the cold steel tower had been completely cut in half. The sound of artillery fire, people's whines, and the roar of the Honkai Beast filled the area. Every corner of the snowfield.

The white snow keeps falling from the gloomy sky, and the black smoke carrying death keeps rising from the pure white earth.

A burst of mocking silver bell-like laughter came very abruptly amidst the whistling wind in his ears.

The boy turned his head and saw a familiar female figure floating not far away from him, staring at him.

"You are…"

"What, have you forgotten me? Human~"

"Celine..."

"It's so funny." The figure floated to him with a mocking tone, imitating the girl in the previous scene, and whispered softly into his ear: "I mean, your expression now is so slippery. Ji~"

"..."

"Hehehe~ Don't you want to see it? This is your expression now."

The young man stood there, unmoved.

"Oh, oh, look at you. From that moment on, you have become a hypocritical, shameless, and ridiculous liar."

"..."

"You not only let me down, not only deceived me and hurt me, but you even deceived and hurt the people you love and the people who love you~"

"..."

Seeing the silence of the other party, the figure snorted again, and suddenly reached out and pinched his neck, but she didn't use much force, or in other words, she couldn't use force.

"I only make false promises, but in the end I can't do anything. I even put my own hands on the person I cherish most..."

Speaking of this, the figure called Xilin by the boy suddenly stopped what she was saying. She looked at the hanging in the boy's collar and changed the topic: "Don't you hate them? Don't you hate them?" What did they do? Don’t you hate them for taking everything away from you?”

"Is this the reason why you chose to become a "lawyer"? "

The sudden rhetorical question made Ying Ying pause. She did not answer the boy's question, but just left his side and returned to a position not far from him.

"You deceived me, just like those ugly humans."

"..."

"I gave you a chance, but you betrayed my trust again and again!"

"I never cheated on you, Siren."

The young man looked directly at her, his eyes unwavering: "No matter how much suffering you have suffered, that is no reason for you to impose your pain on millions of innocent lives."

"A shameless talk..."

"Hate and malice are like chains that wrap around you. When you try to use the chains on you to bind others, the chains on you will become tighter and tighter. It will completely suffocate you and you will never be able to escape from the chain of revenge. Liberation."

"Hehe...hehehe...then just keep...struggling..."

The figure stopped talking. She shook her head and disappeared into the white snow. Only the cold laughter still echoed in the young man's ears.

……

"Captain, Captain!"

The constant calls from the sky took the young man's consciousness to the distance again. When he opened his eyes again in a half-asleep state, the first thing that caught his eye was the worried face of the silver-gray-haired girl.

"..."

"Captain, are you okay?"

"Misha..."

The captain sat up from the bed and glanced at Misha and Mia, both of whom had worried looks on their faces. The blond woman was leaning over his bed, fanning him back and forth with the document in her hand. The cool breeze made the captain's brain quickly wake up.

"Captain, you were sweating a lot just now. Could it be that you had a nightmare? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Mia asked softly with a concerned tone, but the captain didn't feel any sweat on his face, so he moved his eyes downwards and saw a corner of Mia's handkerchief still exposed from the pocket of Mia's clothes. He must have just worn it. She wiped it once.

"Well... I just slept a little deeply, I'm fine." The captain expressed his state with a reassuring smile, and the two people beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.
