K423 Returning from Black Soul Author: Roseph

Introduction:

I extinguished the false sun in Anor Lund

I hunted the souls of kings in the age of gods

I once hunted for the king's firewood when Wang Ying was invisible

I once spread fire and once put out fire

I am the salary king

Chapter 1 Return from the End

"The world fell into darkness again, and everything turned gray and chaotic, until a fire burned again..."

"Master Ashes..."

"Can you still hear me?"

The dim space returns to darkness, which may be the end of everything, but it is also the beginning of the story.

......

The girl slowly woke up from the warm wooden house. When she woke up, she sat up from the bed and quietly observed the familiar and unfamiliar environment around her. The thick soup was still simmering on the warm fireplace, emitting a strong aroma. All of this felt very familiar, but she had no relevant memories at all, and only one name was left in her memory—Xilin.

She didn't know who Sirin was called, and she didn't know why she didn't even remember who she was, but she still remembered this name.Remember the deep affection her body had for the name.

"Sirin?" Suddenly, she softly called to Sirin. Even though she didn't know why she did this, her intuition told her that as long as she called, Sirin would definitely appear.

As soon as the voice fell, the world turned gray and white, time and space were forbidden, no, it was slowed down to the extreme, as if time stood still.

"I'm here, I'm always by your side☆~" Sirin, with long purple hair reaching her heels and golden X-shaped pupils, appeared in front of her out of nowhere, and hugged her. "You should be very confused now, and you don't remember many things."

Sirin pressed her forehead against her forehead, "It's okay, I will help you remember everything you have forgotten, and I will help you save everything you have..."

"Silin..." She hugged Xilin gently: "Who am I?"

"You are K-423, you are Kiana Kaslana, you are my half body, you are the salary king who once burned his memory and soul to spread the fire, and the fire extinguisher who once extinguished the fire for the continuation of the world's future. ..." Xilin held Kiyana's face with both hands, looked into her blue eyes, and said, "I've always remembered your memory for you, and now it's time to return it to you... ..☆~"

With a crisp sound of 'click' in my mind, it seemed that the lock of restricted memory was unlocked, and a large number of familiar pictures and voices kept appearing in Kiana's mind, and Arnoel Londe, who always possessed brilliance, was full of majesty The gods of Rhodeland, the dark and gloomy underground cemetery, the chaotic and fiery ruined city of Izaris, the land of the deep abyss and the wolf knights who fight against the abyss and the French undead team, Eldridge who devoured the gods in order to survive in the world Anor Londo, who has lost his glory, Jack Bald, the knight of Catalina who fought to end the pain of his former friends, and Youmu, the giant king, the dark and oppressive initial furnace and the black salary that burned for countless years Wang Gewen, the incarnation of the salary kings who burned themselves to inherit the first fire in the past, and himself who once sat by the first fire to inherit the first fire, and once knelt by the first fire to extinguish the first fire.

All of this is so familiar, yet so strange, every detail of the location in the memory is clear, and the stranger who has these memories now seems to be a bystander. Qiyana knows that these memories It is the precious memory of being an undead man of destiny, as a fireless ashes, including the memory of being injured countless times and being killed countless times on the way forward.And suddenly receiving these memories made Qiyana have mixed feelings, and shed tears for a while.

"Qiana...don't cry...at least, at least we have returned to the original world now, and we don't have to be bound by Chuhuo and the responsibilities of that world anymore. This world doesn't need As the ashes of firewood, there is no need to maintain the fire-proof woman who spreads the fire, nor does it need you to make the difficult choice of spreading or extinguishing the fire. You can live a normal life..." Sirin hugged Kiyana comforted, but her voice became smaller and smaller: "Probably?☆~"

"What's wrong... Sirin?" Kiyana was a little puzzled when she heard Sirin's gradually decreasing volume.

"According to my memory before I went to Rhodeland with you, there is also a power similar to the abyss in our current world. Here this power seems to be called Honkai. Honkai has 14 agents, and I used to be The second apostle representing the collapse, the second herrsrscher Kong Herrscher...I killed many people in the past...so...so... "Sirin's voice became lower and lower, she let go of Kiyana's hug, and slowly drifted away.

"So? Sirin." Kiyana hugged Sirin back into her arms, "You are still my most important person and an indispensable part of my life. This matter has not been in Rodland for a long time. Have you confirmed with countless deaths? No matter what Herrscher you are, you are the most important to me." Kiyana grabbed Sirin's hands and stared closely into Sirin's eyes: "You The past is the sin you have, and I cannot deny it. But I can bear this sin with you and atone for it with you."

"But... your current body should have my original empty law core, and should be a candidate for a Herrscher, or a Herrscher who has not yet awakened... This is easy to be polluted by the collapse Yes." Sirin said worriedly.

"Look for a solution to the future, we can't just stagnate because of fear of the future!" Qiyana said firmly: "We are not like we were when we first arrived in Rhodeland and woke up in the graveyard of ashes. But we now have the intelligence and cognition of this world. This is enough, and we have to explore the rest by ourselves."

Now Qiyana has no concept of normal life in this world. She has lived in Rodland for too long, and the memory of her life in this world is incomplete, and there are large blanks in her memory, and Sirin's past The memory is only the life in the small town when she was young and the days when she was used as experimental material in the Tower of Babel, so this world is too strange to her and to Sirin.Although there is basic common sense in this world in the scattered memories, to be honest, she really doesn't have the confidence to live like she used to.

This feeling is that after a piece of white paper is dyed with other colors, it can no longer be changed back to the previous white paper.Although Qiyana has no confidence, she wants to live seriously in this world now, living an ordinary and ordinary life. She doesn't have to bear the mission of immortality like before, and she doesn't have to bear the heavy hope and responsibility of continuing the world. Live peacefully, that's enough.

PS: Kiyana: I don’t need to carry everyone’s hopes on my shoulders anymore, I...maybe I’m really too cowardly...

Chapter 2 Awakening and planning

"Qiana, do you remember where we are now?" Sirin looked around and asked, "This looks like a residence for ordinary residents, do you remember why we are here?☆~"

"I remember... I should have come here to find Daddy... Siegfried..., and then I should have happened to meet a small Honkai eruption... ...Then I was supposed to get rid of those Houkai beasts and came to this town. Then it seemed that they were temporarily taken in by a family in the name of tourists." Kiyana tried hard to recall from the chaotic memories that this was already for her Very old memory.

"So, we are staying here temporarily, and we don't have any plans for the future. After all, you won't be like someone who makes plans☆~"

Qiyana retorted: "How is it possible! I have already made a follow-up action plan. Although it is only based on our current situation..."

"Yes, yes, then tell me what we are going to do next? We can't stay here forever. Besides..." Sirin lowered her head, her tone was a little low: "You should already know that you are not real Kiyana, right...then we're looking for Siegfried...does it still make sense?"

"As long as he didn't find out, wouldn't I still be "Qiana" in his eyes? In my heart, he was still that confused and a bit stupid stinky dad. Kiyana explained: "In your heart, Sirin , Ms. Cecilia is also a gentle mother. "

"Nonsense! That woman...she..." Sirin blushed, her face was bulging, like a flatulent puffer fish, "She...she is a liar! No... she..."

"Sirin, why are you stammering? You just like Miss Cecilia, right?" Kiyana became ill-intentioned and continued to tease Sirin.In Rhodeland, before Sirin woke up, because of the imprisonment of the Baijiao, Qiyana changed from a cheerful appearance to an autistic child.Later, after Qiyana was infected with the curse of the undead and died several times in the northern undead hospital, Sirin woke up.

At that time, Sirin's soul was very weak, and Qiyana also discovered Sirin's existence, and began to communicate with her tirelessly to prevent herself from losing her mind.At first, Sirin also dismissed Kiyana's communication, but in this world, Sirin is the only one who can communicate with Kiyana.

And because the souls of the two are one, Kiyana's strength was very weak at first, (equivalent to double soul upgrade to one level). In the later journey of Qiyana's fire transmission, because the growth rate was too slow, Kiyana After going through a long death process, during this long death journey, Sirin also began to accept Qiyana slowly, from being called an ant at the beginning to taking it seriously, and finally becoming intimate.

After all, for the perception of Kiyana's death, Sirin is in sync with Kiyana.However, after experiencing such a large number of deaths, Kiyana still communicated tirelessly with Sirin like a little sun, and under the attack of the soul spell, Kiyana risked her soul damage to protect Sirin. It really pried open Sirin's cold heart.

Kiyana rubbed Sirin's head and told her the follow-up action plan: "Let's leave this town first, and then find a way to go to Siberia. I remember Sirin, you seem to have said that it was in Siberia with Cecilia Miss Cecilia passed away together. The time now is not long after you have passed away, so Miss Cecilia's soul must still be in Siberia."

"You mean...we collect the soul of Cecilia's mother, and then try to revive her?"

"That's right, our current body, using the power of the abyss...Honkai, can continue to carry other souls. Let's first accept Miss Cecilia's soul into our body, and then find the body later Resurrect her..." Kiyana paused, wanting to say something more.

There was only a sound of "creak--", the door of the wooden house opened, and an old but very energetic old man walked into the house slowly with a bundle of firewood in one hand. On the old but neat clothes of the old man, The elk fur hat and even the bushy and gray beard were covered with snowflakes. There was a half bottle of rum hanging around his waist. Maybe it was because of the cold weather outside, or maybe the old man drank it to keep out the cold. , his face was flushed, and he shouted: "Martina, hurry up, stop chasing Corona."

"Understood, Grandpa." A childish voice came from outside the door. "When I bring Corona in, you can see if the big sister traveler is awake?"

"You little stubborn donkey." The old man muttered helplessly but dotingly, and quickly put the firewood dragged by his hands in the corner of the room, then walked slowly to the door of the room, and knocked lightly two or three times. He stepped down and asked inside: "Little girl, are you awake?"

"Already awake, thank you." With that, Qiyana opened the door of the room and bowed to the old man: "Thank you very much for taking me in."

In Rodland's days, most of the living corpses Kiyana encountered were irrational, not to mention helping, the living corpses basically screamed at her when they saw her, and slashed at her with weapons.So Qiyana cherishes and respects those who have helped her.

"Hahaha, why are you so reserved, little girl? The people in our town are very hospitable." The old man said happily: "There are many people who come to our place for travel, and those guests also like our town very much."

"The old man, I want to ask, is there a car in the town that can go to Siberia?"

"Of course there is... It's just that you may have to wait for two days, little girl, because there was a blizzard recently, and the town next door was hit by disasters. We borrowed all the cars here to help, and only Geer's truck I won’t be back until a few days later. Then I can ask that kid to take you there.” The old man took out a crumpled cigarette from his jacket pocket, put it in his mouth, and found a metal lighter from his pocket. He lit the cigarette casually and took a deep breath: "It's still good." Then he turned his head and opened the window, exhaling a large cloud of smoke: "Little girl, you should continue to live here for the next two days. Those who don't have a lot of money, let's save a little."

"Then...thank you sir." Kiyana thanked sincerely.

"Old man, my name is Geralt Bardo. What's your name, little girl? It's not a problem to keep calling you little girl." The old man laughed boldly: "My granddaughter's name is Martina Bardo. Cute little guy."

"My name is Kiyana, I don't have a last name." Kiyana replied.

"Don't you have a surname... um... little girl Kiyana, then you should have a good rest. I'm going to have a good sleep, and I should have a good sleep after the activities, hehehe. ..." Geralt took a deep puff on his cigarette, threw the remaining cigarette butt into the fireplace, and walked into the room.

"This old man is very generous...Baldo...reminds me of that onion knight." Sirin's voice suddenly came from Qiyana's mind.

"I also thought of him, but it's a pity... I can only see him off in the end." Kiyana replied with some sadness in her heart.

ps: Sirin: "Hey! You still have a bow and arrow in your head!! Is it really all right!!"

Chapter 3 Valery's Bizarre Adventure

This town is very close to where Kiyana used to deal with the beasts contaminated by the Houkai. For the beasts infected by the Houkai before, plus Sirin and her perception, there are still a few villages around. Don't worry.

After all, for the products of Houkai pollution, their existence will continue to pollute everything around them. If all the products of Houkai are not cleaned up in time, they will continue to expand, grow stronger, and then break out in small Houkai.

In this small town less than [-] kilometers away from Siberia where the second Houkai broke out, although Cecilia has purified the land, the Houkai will not be reduced, but the strength of the Houkai will be slightly weaker.And as long as there is the impact of the collapse, the residents of the small town will be harmed at that time.Just in case, Qiyana decided to investigate the source of the surrounding collapse, and then clean it up.

"Mr. Bardo, I'm going out for a while, don't worry, I'll be back soon." Qiyana took out the goggles from her backpack and put them on her head and shouted towards the room.

-----------

"Sirin, can you still feel the approximate amount of power in our bodies?" Kiyana clenched her fists.

"Of course, it's just that our current Honkai can feel like it's being suppressed by something, and the suppression intensity is very high, and only a small part can be controlled. Converted to Rodland's index, it is equivalent to about 15 With a strength of 10 agility, magic and miracles cannot be used, but I should be able to try to use the power of the Herrscher of the Sky to make weapons."

"Is there only the basic value... That is really suppressed... I hope there is no full-bodied Houkai beast over there, otherwise it will be troublesome. Let's enter the embers state first .”

Kiyana closed her eyes, focused on controlling the Houkai in her body to run along the veins in her body, "Then...accelerate!" Kiyana opened her eyes suddenly, and in an instant , her pupils flashed a red light, and then quickly returned to azure blue.

"Qiana, your current value is about 20 force and 16 min, which should be enough to solve the small Houkai outbreak. Don't continue to accelerate the flow of Houkai energy." Sirin hurriedly reminded Qiyana: "Accelerate the Houkai Being able to flow in the body is a heavy burden on the body, and your current physical fitness can no longer continue to accelerate."

During the years in Rhodeland, Kiyana and Sirin killed many powerful beings, and once carried the souls of the kings, and endured the burning of the first fire, because at that time, Kiyana deliberately protected Sirin's fragile soul Under the circumstances, Sirin and Kiyana, who had inherited the first fire, are no longer the same soul, and they are more like the twin princes of Lothric, becoming closely connected twin souls.Therefore, Sirin can directly observe Qiyana's physical condition, and give her reminders and support for fighting.

Moreover, due to the different abilities of Qiyana and Sirin after their souls are split, Kiyana generally uses a combination of melee weapons and spells to fight, while Sirin is responsible for using magic in battle and supporting Miracle.

"Sirin, you should feel it." Qiyana suddenly looked in one direction, "The Honkai energy in this direction fluctuates violently. I didn't expect the pollution intensity of the Honkai source here to be so high."

"Qiana, let's clean up these Houkai products, and we must not let those Houkai products harm this place!"

"Of course!" Kiyana pulled off the goggles and put them on, took out two USP45s from the inner pocket of the coat, inserted them into the leg rings on both sides of her thighs, and rushed out: "Qiana, attack!"

_______________________

Valery is a hunter. When he was young, he used a simple bear spear to hunt and kill a Siberian brown bear weighing 400kg, but he also paid the price with a left arm.You must know that the fur of such a brown bear is very thick and extremely tough. Without enough strength, it is difficult to hurt this giant beast.

"Damn! The size of this footprint is bigger than that of the bear back then! When did this giant beast appear around here!"

After many years, Valery saw such huge footprints on the mountain again, the footprints of a giant beast, a Siberian brown bear.

Even Valery, who was experienced and strong back then, was unwilling to take the initiative to provoke such a behemoth, let alone now that he has entered old age from middle age and his body has begun to weaken.

But Valery had no choice, his home was at the foot of the mountain, a village that can be seen everywhere on the Siberian plains, most of the young people went to work in the bustling west, except for a few who refused to go out, there were only a group of children and old people, if the animal If the animals go down the mountain very hungry in the winter wind on this mountain, it will be the same as before...

"No, we can't let it go. Since the bear has come out of hibernation and started wandering around the mountains, it means that it is already in a state of extreme hunger for food. We must eliminate the threat for the village in advance. Valery rubbed his back subconsciously , but found nothing, Valery forgot, today he just came to the mountain to look for chaga to entertain his son’s family who came back from the city, and he didn’t bring a gun with him. Find the location of the bear, then go back to the village and get a gun to finish the bear. "

You must know that Siberian brown bears have a very sensitive sense of smell. It is said that these brown bears can smell odors 1 kilometer away. Valery knew this very well, so Valery broke off a few young branches of small birch trees on the spot and stuck them to the trunk. Kneaded it, then wiped the tiny amount of juice on his body, stuck the rotten branch in the pocket of his clothes, and followed carefully in the direction of the footprints.

After walking in the ankle-deep, deep winter snow for about a quarter of an hour, Valery suddenly found a bright red mark on the snow not far ahead. He hurried over and stopped beside the bright red, Crouching down to check the traces, the pungent smell of blood came to the nostrils, and there were still some small rodent remains on the bright red snow.

"It seems that this bear's predation ability is terrible. It can even catch such a flexible animal, and the blood is very fresh, which means that it will not be far away from me. It is enough to explore here, and it is time to go back. Get ready." Valery immediately made a decision.He stood up and looked around, "There is a downhill ahead, and the view is very wide. The bear probably isn't here, but it won't be too far away." Valery raised his vigilance while thinking of this, While walking as lightly as possible, he turned his head and left this place.

But what he didn't know was that a big hole was dug out under the tree on the leeward slope not far from him, and a foul-smelling white mist came out of the hole. It was dyed bright red, and the dark and deep cave extended in the direction Valerie left, and the cave was shining with bright purple light...

PS: Valery's Bear Spear:

The spear used by the brave bear hunters of the past

The spear that was forgotten in the corner of the utility room, the metal spear head has been covered with rust, but the spear body made of birch tree is very smooth, which is probably the proof of its long-term use by its users in the past.

Chapter 4 Valery's Bad Journey

"Valery, you're back? Haha! I said a long time ago that there is no such thing as chaga on this damn mountain." A short, stout old man with gray hair and beard sat on a tree stump at the entrance of the village, facing Valery. Li winked his eyes and smiled, holding a half-open bottle of tundra vodka in his hand, and handed it to Valery: "Don't make such a bad face, buddy! Let's take a sip of vodka to warm up."

"Bahrain, I'm afraid we're in trouble!" Valery took a big gulp of the wine, and then said seriously to Bahrain, "I found the footprints of a brown bear on the mountain. Damn! That guy's footprints are 40 It is as long as a centimeter long and 25 centimeters wide, which is bigger than the previous one. And now it is winter, the bear is in a state of extreme hunger, and I have already seen traces of that guy hunting."
