Honkai Impact: You still owe me a dance

At the empty old site of the water city, Kiana, Bronya and Xier are investigating the current situation of the water city being empty.

"Bronya, we have been here for a whole day. Except for the traces of someone living here, it doesn't look like anyone was here at all."

Kiana was sitting casually on a plastic chair at the door of a coffee shop. Bronya, who was sitting opposite her, was holding a computer and analyzing data.

"Sister Kiana, sister Bronya, let's have something to drink first."

Xi'er gave Kiana and Bronya a drink each.

The drink for Kiana was a cup of pearl milk tea, while the drink for Bronya was a cup of latte.

"Xier, don't you drink?"

Seeing Xi'er sitting down without preparing a drink for herself, Kiana tilted her head and looked at her.

"No, I'll just drink water. After all, there's no one in the store, and Xi'er isn't very good at using other people's ingredients. But there's something strange about the ingredients here, and time seems to have stopped."

When Xi'er borrowed the tools and ingredients from the cafe, she had already noticed something. Although it didn't take long for the water to disappear, in the past few days, whether it was drinks or condiments, they should have expired. right.

But Xi'er discovered that these ingredients were almost always at their freshest, and even after Xi'er tried them, there were no problems.

"Well, Bronya also discovered this situation. The original things here seem to have stagnated."

Bronya had already realized this when she entered the water city, but she was not sure.

Now Xi'er's words undoubtedly confirmed to her that time in the current water city was indeed stagnant.

Such time made her feel strange, but all the theories about time in Bronya's mind seemed to have lost their effect in the water city.

"Time stagnation? Is this similar to the space-time rupture used by the Valkyrie armor we used before?"

Kiana's long-awaited IQ was on the rise, but what she said had nothing to do with what Bronya had guessed.

"It's different. According to the theory of time and space, changes in time will not affect space, and changes in space will not affect time. In other words, whether space exists or not, time will still exist, and vice versa. . But according to subsequent research by Dr. Einstein, only moving at the speed of light will not be affected by time."

Bronya looked at Kiana, whose brain was overloaded. She seemed to realize what she was saying, but Kiana couldn't understand it at all.

"Sister Bronya, to put it simply, it means that the space in the water city is not static, but time is static. Such a situation does not exist."

Although Xi'er somewhat understands what this is, she probably only understands it this way.

"That's about it. After all, there are only light-speed objects in the world now, and there is only one kind of photon. Unless the entire water is now photonized, this kind of time stagnation is impossible."

As if she realized something, Bronya contacted Dr. Tesla through the computer in front of her.

"City photonization? This seems to be a possibility. Let me investigate a little bit."

Tesla immediately connected to the anti-entropy satellite and scanned the entire water through the filter scanning device.

"what!"

But the scan results made Tesla exclaim.

"Dr. Tesla, what happened?"

Tesla's exclamation attracted Einstein's attention, and when she came over to look at the results of the filtered scan, Einstein also frowned.

"This kind of waveform? It seems to be the first time data appears."

Einstein looked at the data and seemed to realize something was wrong.

"Bronya, use photon scanning to scan the water city."

"clear."

Bronya immediately asked the heavily armored rabbit to fly to high altitude, and directly used photon scanning to conduct a thorough scan around them.

"Sister Bronya, what is photon scanning?"

"Photon scanning is a high-precision scanning instrument made by Dr. Einstein. Under normal circumstances, such a scan will not produce any results. But..."

Bronya turned the screen over and handed it to Xi'er and Kiana to see.

"This!"

"Why is it happening like that!"

Kiana and Xi'er couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the results on the screen.

In the picture, except for the three of them, almost everything is composed of green light spots.

All the buildings seemed to have been blown up by the explosion, and on the ground, one can clearly see the remains of broken limbs one after another.

And these severed limbs and remains are undoubtedly human corpses.

"Why is such a tragic situation happening? Are the people who caused this really inhumane?"

Xi'er didn't know why, but she could clearly construct the original appearance of these severed limbs in her mind, but this made Xi'er's brain a little confused.

"Bronya needs to send the pictures here to Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein first. Bronya cannot guarantee whether this information is true or false. If it is true, it has already explained the water city. A total of people died."

The result Bronya gave was a result that neither Xi'er nor Kiana could accept.

"Is it possible that there is nothing we can do about it?"

Kiana could never accept this result. In such an inexplicable situation, people died.

"I do not know."

This is also the first time that Bronya has distrusted the power of the Herrscher of Reason. It is also the first time that he has said that I don't know words since becoming the Herrscher of Reason.

Because she really doesn't want such a thing to be true.

But the ability of the Herrscher of Reason told her that the truth about Water City was the result of what she had deduced.

"What on earth happened here?"

Although Kiana was confused, based on the last light spot on the picture, she walked to the edge of a wreckage and tried to use the power of Herrscher of the Sky to sense the space where these things were originally located, which was where the water disappeared before. place.

"No, I can't sense that space at all. In other words, has the original space fluctuation here been covered?"

No matter how hard Kiana tried to sense the existence of that space, she found nothing.

"Xie'er, do you know this situation?"

When no one came to a conclusion, Xier returned to the sea of ​​consciousness and asked about her other self.

"I don't know, I've been in your body, so I saw whatever you saw? How can I understand these things? I'm afraid you were frightened by those corpses. You should go back quickly. This time This matter has nothing to do with you or me."

'Xie'er' rolled her eyes at Xi'er and drove her out directly.

"Why don't you tell her that if she uses my power, she will have the power to awaken the Herrscher of Complete Death. Instead of you always protecting her, why not let her have the power herself?"

Xi'er in the form of black mist appeared next to 'Xie'er' and seemed to be aware of the situation here.

"You seem to know what's going on here very well? So, what exactly happened here?"

"It's just a sacrifice. According to what the guy named Bronya said, these people are just sacrifices in a sacrifice. But it's just a sacrifice. It’s just the soul, everyone’s life energy remains here.”

Xi's words made 'Xi'er' a little unbelievable. Even she didn't realize that these people were just sacrifices in a sacrifice.

"how can that be?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, but this is reality."

No matter how much ‘Xie’er’ doesn’t believe what Xi said, this is still reality.

"Don't you want me to disappear? If the life energy of these people can be absorbed into Xi'er's body, the life energy will completely turn Xi'er into the Herrscher of Death. By that time When the time comes, I will disappear completely.”

Xi's words were like the devil's whisper, beginning to arouse the desire of 'Xie'er'.

"If that idiot didn't know your existence, I might do it. But now, your disappearance will only make that extremely gentle idiot sad."

Although 'Xier' was a little confused about Xi's proposal at first, she still decisively refused.

After being rejected by 'Xier', Xi returned to the Herrscher core and murmured in a low voice.

"Maybe. But one day, she will always take such a path. The separation of the two of you is inevitable."

Xi'er's words were not heard by "Xie'er", but now her words have alerted "Xie'er".

Xi'er didn't know what was being said in the depths of her consciousness. Now she was watching Kiana and Bronya collect data. For the time being, she would only be able to be responsible for alerting the surrounding situation at a high point.

"So, what exactly is going on!"

This kind of person clearly knows what the situation is, but can't collect any of the processes in between, let alone infer. Now Kiana hasn't even found any information.

"Kiana, don't be so anxious. It won't be quick to collect these information."

Bronya can't find any clues now, and she has also sent the heavy-duty rabbit to scan the entire water city. Only after scanning the entire water city can Tesla and Einstein continue Investigate the situation here.

"Sister Bronya, sister Kiana, someone is here."

Xi'er looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a figure approaching them.

"Can you identify her??"

"Xie'er can't recognize her identity. She doesn't seem to be a World Snake or a member of Destiny. She looks like an ordinary person."

The way Xi'er looked at the other party through the binoculars did not seem like a combatant.

"It's impossible. The life detection decoration has scanned the entire water city before. Except for the members of the Immortal Blade of Destiny, there are no living people at all."

Kiana immediately denied Xi'er's statement. If she was a resident, it would be impossible for her to appear here.

"But it seems to be a resident? Let me go and take a look first."

Xi'er still had a feeling that the other party seemed to be a resident.

"Xie'er, stay vigilant, the other person may not necessarily be a good person."

When Xi'er ran towards the resident, Bronya reminded her at the right time, asking her to stay appropriately vigilant.

"Hello? Do you need help?"

Xi'er looked at the man in front of her. Although he was wearing glasses, his eyes were also sluggish. Coupled with the fact that he had not shaved, he looked like he had no energy at all. It was even suspicious. It doesn't feel like you will die if you touch it.

"You, you, you...are you the destined person!?"

The man rushed directly towards Xi'er, rushed in front of her excitedly, and hugged her thigh tightly.

"Ah! You are finally here. I thought... I thought I would stay in a place like this until I die."

"That... that..."

Being hugged suddenly like this caught Xier off guard.

And just when Xi'er was caught off guard, her pupils suddenly turned black and red.

"Die to me. If you dare to touch my Xi'er, you are simply looking for death!"

'Xie'er' was not Xi'er, and she still looked hesitant, but directly kicked the man away.

"what--"

As the man screamed in pain, he was kicked directly against the wall.

When Xier's consciousness came back, she saw the man embedded in the wall.

Xi'er looked at the man embedded in the wall and asked in a low voice with some embarrassment.
