Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"You should already know the details. A-872 is Theresa. Theresa is the name I gave A-872...

I am Theresa's sister. It was me who chose to bring Theresa out of the Tianming headquarters and come to Canghai City. Therefore, I have an unavoidable responsibility for Theresa's subsequent wounding incidents...

The Destiny Headquarters has issued a wanted order. Theresa must be brought back or killed on the spot..."

"Hmm."

Jiuxiao responded perfunctorily, interrupting Karen's words. Then he touched Theresa's head and pinched her slightly depressed face.

Then he turned to Kallen and said disapprovingly.

"Times have changed, Kallen. Theresa is no longer the property of your Destiny organization, but mine. Human laws, or even the laws of Destiny, cannot constrain Theresa.

Wanted? Take him back? Restrict his personal freedom?

How to restrict them? Cut off their limbs and put them in a cage?"

Kallen looked a little worried. Judging from Otto's methods, it was unlikely that he would cut off his limbs and imprison him...

The biggest possibility is to use the Key of Corrosion to directly erase Theresa's memory and thoughts, turning her into a complete "tool"

“Jiuxiao, I have no right to say anything about you and Ji Zi, but as for Theresa… I am her sister, and I must be responsible for her.

She cannot get close to humans. Even if you feed her with your blood now, how many times can you feed her...

The entire world is under the influence of the Destiny Organization. How long can you escape from the Destiny's pursuit? How long can you protect Theresa?

If you fail to feed Theresa enough, she will lose her mind and attack the creatures around her indiscriminately...including you, Jiuxiao.

Theresa has hurt many people, and we can't guarantee that it won't happen again. Jiuxiao, Theresa and I must take responsibility and give an explanation to those who have been hurt."

Jiuxiao simply covered his ears and didn't bother to listen to Karen blaming herself, and didn't even bother to look at Karen.

What responsibility is there? Committing suicide in front of the victim?

It would be good enough if the victims didn't kowtow to me, kneel down and beg for mercy, blaming themselves for "not letting Lady Theresa suck enough blood".

Jiuxiao lifted Theresa, who was pretending to be dead in his arms, from his lap and made eye contact with her.

"Why didn't you tell your sister anything?"

"We were taken here directly, and I didn't even have a chance to talk to my sister..."

Theresa lowered her head a little embarrassedly and poked her finger.

Jiuxiao didn't listen to her reason, and Theresa was still acting cute with Jiuxiao. Kallen, who was already very sad, became even more depressed.

"Theresa, this matter is very serious and it cannot be solved by just begging for help from Jiuxiao. Killing is not a trivial matter, and Theresa, you have hurt more than one person...

This pistol contains a bullet that Otto made specifically for Theresa... Jiuxiao, since you want to protect Theresa, then... I will give you the choice."

Kallen took out a pistol from her pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of Jiuxiao.

Ji Zi and Xier remained silent at this moment. If it involved murder, they didn't know what to say.

One is an apprentice Valkyrie with a correct outlook on life, and also a vigilante in Canghai City.

The other was a child who even felt guilty about eating an innocent quantum crab.

Ji Zi wanted to arrest Theresa for both moral and logical reasons, but she couldn't defeat her alone, and Kallen gave the choice to Jiuxiao.

But if Hei Xi was here, she would definitely pick up the gun that Kallen had placed on the coffee table without hesitation and shoot Theresa. She might even accidentally "fire" and kill Himeko as well.

Kallen: "Kaslana's philosophy does not allow me to just sit back and watch Theresa's crimes. But as a sister, I cannot pull the trigger on Theresa.

So, choose, Jiuxiao. You only have one bullet...

Shoot me, and you can take Theresa away from here..."

"Shh-"

Jiuxiao put his finger to his mouth, signaling Kallen to stop talking.

In the end, she thought, there were only two choices: shoot the bullet at Kallen or Theresa.

If he shot at Kallen, she would die, but Theresa would definitely go crazy because her only relative was dead. Jiuxiao and Theresa were also completely finished, and there was no need to think about going any further.

But if she shot Theresa, Kallen would still die because her life was closely tied to hers.

Kallen was looking at Jiuxiao, Theresa was also looking at Jiuxiao, Jizi and Xier were also looking at Jiuxiao.

Everyone was looking at Jiuxiao, waiting to see what decision he would make.

But Jiuxiao suddenly laughed, as if he thought of the fact that Bronya still wet the bed at such an age, and laughed out loud.

He picked up the pistol from the table and stood up.

He pulled the trigger and aimed at Kallen.

"No, human!"

Theresa screamed and hugged Jiuxiao, trying to stop Jiuxiao from shooting Kallen.

But Kallen reached out to stop Theresa, then put her head in front of the gun and slowly closed her eyes.

"Please, take good care of Theresa. This way, I can be considered relieved..."

Boom——

The trigger was pulled, and under the acceleration of the electromagnetic track, the special bullet flashed through the blue light and shot out of the barrel.

Kallen knew clearly that she was not the Kallen from five hundred years ago. She also knew clearly that she had died again and again, and had been implanted with non-existent memories again and again, becoming the reality of a person named Kallen.

She was clearly not "her", but under the influence of those memories, she gradually became "her", but the final result was that she was not her, and Kallen was not Kallen.

She and Theresa are both the product of someone's selfish desires. They cannot receive love as a human, nor can they love as a vampire...

This is eternal punishment for Kallen.

Theresa has found the one she chose to entrust her love to. Then her phantom sister can die peacefully and be liberated...

This was the only time that Kallen was selfish, abandoning Theresa and letting her go on the run with Jiuxiao...

The shell fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Ji Zi and Xi'er both held their breath, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Theresa looked at everything in front of her with a ferocious face, her sharp canine teeth protruding from her mouth, and her bloodshot eyes glowed a creepy red.

Tears rolled down from Theresa's eyes. She raised her sword like Judas, intending to cut off Jiuxiao's arm to stop him from shooting, but the sword stopped in mid-air and never fell.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and the clear feeling made Kallen open her eyes in confusion.

The gunshot was clearly heard, but why didn't I feel any pain and I'm not dead yet...

"Well, I thought it was a very powerful bullet, but this is it."
