Honkai Impact: You still owe me a dance

"Please tell me clearly, what does Sirin mean by her own statement? Is it possible that Sirin is still alive? But wasn't it because Sirin died that the Herrscher of the Sky and I were born?"

After Bronya's reminder, Kiana also noticed the loopholes in Bai Ling's words.

"Since everything has been revealed, there is no need to hide it."

Bai Ling stretched, filled up the finished black tea cup in front of him again, and said slowly.

"To put it simply, during the second collapse, because of my brother's participation, Xilin only had her core taken out. She is still alive and well, and is probably playing in a game arcade in Canghai City. Let’s play.”

"If Siren is still alive, who am I?"

Kiana was suddenly confused and couldn't figure out at all, who was she?

"You two fools are really alike. Xi'er asked the same question back then, and you asked the same question. But there is obviously only one answer. It's like Xi'er is Xi'er."

Looking at Kiana who was suddenly confused, 'Xie'er' shook her head helplessly.

"what?"

"Xie'er means that Kiana is Kiana. You are obviously a single-celled person, but someone who can think of so many things in your mind does not fit your personality, Kiana."

Bronya took a sip of tea and translated a little bit of 'Xie'er's words.

"Ah? Is that so?"

Kiana scratched her head and reacted temporarily, but after thinking about it, she seemed to realize something.

"No, Bronya, are you scolding me for being brainless!"

"Well, it seems that Bronya was wrong, and she still has some sense."

Looking at Bronya nodding thoughtfully, she seemed to agree with Kiana's words.

"Bronya!"

Seeing Kiana's angry look, Bronya and Xi'er also showed corresponding smiles.

"So besides these things, what else are you hiding?"

"There must be, but I definitely won't tell you. It's almost time for you to leave, but the entry permission here has been given to you. If you want to come in, just communicate with the Herrscher Core, here The empty room was originally prepared for you."

"Hey, what do you mean? Xi'er doesn't have the core of the Herrscher?"

"Really? Go and ask her yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Bai Ling waved his hand, and the figure disappeared from the chair.

"Disappeared?"

"She..."

Compared to Kiana and Bronya who were a little strange about the sudden disappearance of Bai Ling, 'Xier' was more concerned about what she said before.

"Xie'er, I'm going back first. If you need something, call me again."

'Xie'er' did not say hello to Kiana and Bronya, but directly transformed into a black light group and reintegrated into Xie'er's body.

"Did she just go back? Then what is the status of her existence?"

After 'Xie'er' returned, Bronya also asked about her situation.

"Actually, Xi'er doesn't know it herself, but Brother Bai Yan said at the beginning that Xi'er and I can be said to be one, but it can also be said that we are not one. However, Xi'er believes in her."

Xi'er covered her chest and could clearly feel the presence of 'Xie'er'.

In the depths of Xi'er's consciousness, 'Xi'er' did not care about external affairs, but went directly to the depths of her consciousness.

"Xi, you know that guy just now, right?"

'Xie'er' stared at the core suspended deep in her consciousness. Although Xie'er herself did not know the existence of this core, 'Xie'er' and Xi'er knew it very well.

"Well, I know. Bai Ling once destroyed countless civilizations. He was also one of the greatest enemies of mankind. He was the Herrscher of the End in the past."

"what!"

Listening to Xi's explanation, 'Xie'er' was a little shocked.

"But why would she... What she said earlier was clearly on our side."

'Xie'er' looked at Xi's appearance when she came back from the smoke, but her appearance was completely different from her own, and she looked like someone else.

"After all, Bai Ling has appeared, which means that Bai Yan's plan has reached the final stage. Then it doesn't hurt to tell you about this. You should know that I am the Herrscher of Death from the former civilization, and This is my original appearance, even though my real name is also called Xi'er."

She has the same face shape as Xi'er, but has dark green hair and pupils. She is wearing a pure red dress. She has less killing intent than a battle-hardened warrior.

"Let me tell you about the former civilization's Fifth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death, which is the story when I appeared. But it's just a rough idea. After all, Brother Bai Yan also told me what happened at that time. Then It was on a night that was supposed to be peaceful..."

On a quiet night, Bai Yan was staying in an orphanage, telling a bedtime story to a girl who was too scared to play with others.

"Brother Bai Yan, do you think Xi'er will become a hero like you one day?"

"Xie'er, I'm not a big hero. I'm just an ordinary person who has a little bit of ability and wants to help ordinary people."

Bai Yan pinched Xi'er's cheek gently.

"Okay, it's time to sleep, otherwise you won't have enough rest today."

"it is good."

Watching Xier cover herself with quilt obediently and close her eyes.

Bai Yan also helped her turn off the light with a smile and left the room.

That night, Bai Yan suddenly started to hold Fire Chaser accountable for the Mebius experiment accident, so he hurriedly went to another city to hold a meeting with Fire Chaser's top management.

But that night, Xi'er was suddenly chosen to become the Herrscher of Death.

As for this matter, let alone Bai Yan, even Xi'er herself didn't know what happened.

When Bai Yan returned to the city despite being sleepy the next morning, it was obviously the morning rush hour, but the city was unusually quiet.

"What's going on? It's obviously the morning rush hour, but why is it so quiet?"

Bai Yan looked at the surrounding situation while heading to the orphanage where Xi'er was.

But when he came to the orphanage, he also noticed that the children who were supposed to be practicing in the morning did not come out at all today.

"What happened? Where is Uncle An? Normally he should open the door at this time."

Bai Yan walked directly to the security desk. When he was about to ask the security guard An to open the door, he found that the security guard An Uncle was not inside.

You know, the security guard of this orphanage, Uncle An, whose full name is Safe, is a veteran of the special forces. He has maintained the habit of being absolutely punctual for so many years. His body's clock is almost accurate to the second. .

"Strange? Where is Uncle An?"

When Uncle An couldn't be seen, Bai Yan also realized that something might have happened, climbed over the automatic door, and then pushed open the door of the security office. Except for a set of security uniforms on the ground, there was nothing else.

"Uncle An? Why are you still throwing away your clothes so casually?"

When Bai Yan opened the door, he didn't see Uncle An.

"What about people?"

Bai Yan scratched his head and looked through the entry and exit records. The latest person to come in and out was none other than him last night.

However, because of the surveillance, Bai Yan checked the surveillance immediately, but some of the pictures in the surveillance were beyond his expectation.

"How is it possible that he suddenly disappeared? Is it possible?"

During the surveillance, Bai Yan could clearly see that at a certain point in time, Uncle An suddenly disappeared, leaving only a set of security suits in place. After looking at the surveillance cameras from the same time, almost all People suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

And the only one left, who witnessed everyone disappear, was Xier.

"Ciel!"

In this case, Xi'er will only feel despair.

Bai Yan didn't pay much attention to this and broke into the orphanage directly.

However, the door of the orphanage was not open at present, so Bai Yan could only break the glass at the door and climb in.

"Xier! Where are you!"

Just when Bai Yan was looking for Xi'er in the orphanage, his communicator suddenly rang.

"Hey, Alicia, what happened?"

When Bai Yan searched room after room, he couldn't find Xi'er at all.

"Xiao Bai, why is there no life in the city you are in now except you?"

"what!?"

After hearing Alicia's words, Bai Yan had some expectations, but he did not expect that the whole city had already been enveloped.

"Now the Fire Chaser Moth can detect that the city you are currently in is shrouded in thick black fog, and this black fog is spreading outward. The above has identified the location of the Herrscher, and now the only one in the city You are the one who survives, and you must find the Herrscher as soon as possible."

"The Herrscher who represents death...I know, don't let anyone touch the black mist, otherwise the life force will be swallowed up. This time, leave the Herrscher to me."

From Alicia's words, Bai Yan understood roughly what was going on and hung up the communication directly.

"Hey! Xiaobai, don't mess around!"

Alicia, who was far away in the Fire Chasing Moth branch, had already realized after hearing Bai Yan's words that he was definitely going to mess up again.

After Bai Yan searched almost the entire orphanage, he could not find Xi'er at all.

"Xie'er...don't let anything happen to you!"

Ever since Bai Yan met Xi'er in this orphanage, he has treated the child as his sister. The procedures for Chasing the Fire Moth were almost completed. In another week, she can follow Bai Yan. Yan went to Fire Chaser's base.

But now something like this has happened...

"She can't possibly go out. No, she's still here..."

Bai Yan frowned, not sensing Xi'er's existence at all.

"Xie'er! Come out quickly!"

After searching for several times, Bai Yan couldn't find Xi'er at all.

"By the way, where might it be!"

Bai Yan remembered the place where he first saw Xi'er, which was among the ruins only one kilometer away from here.

Although Xi'er was in an orphanage at the beginning, Xi'er was called Lone Star. Before Bai Yan met her, she had been to more than a dozen orphanages.

Every orphanage she stayed in before had either a fire or an earthquake. In any case, various natural or man-made disasters would occur.

But no matter every time, she is the one who survives.

At that time, and for this reason, everyone ostracized Xi'er. Until Bai Yan rescued her when a fire broke out at the original site of the orphanage, after knowing her experience, Bai Yan originally planned to adopt her directly. of.

But because of Bai Yan's special identity, Fire Chaser Moth deliberately stayed in the review process for a long time, and it has not come down until now.

The old orphanage site that was turned into ruins due to a fire is still there because it is too troublesome to clean up.

By the time Bai Yan arrived at the old orphanage site, it was already raining lightly.

And Bai Yan could feel a familiar aura, that is, the aura of the Herrscher.

"Xie'er...are you okay?"

Bai Yan hurriedly climbed over the broken wall of the orphanage.

But just after climbing over the wall, an inexplicable shock wave hit his back. This sudden attack directly hit him against the wall, and the already broken wall was instantly blown apart.

"You're just a human, and you still want to worry about me?"

At this time, a girl floating in the air came out of the ruins.

"The Herrscher of Death? I only give you one option, which is to return Xi'er to me. That's all. Didn't the guy above you tell you not to treat those around me casually? Will someone take action?"

Bai Yan walked towards the Herrscher of Death unhurriedly, as if he had no fear at all towards the Herrscher.

"Oh, you were not swallowed by my power, but you didn't turn around and run away when you saw me. Instead, you approached me? You are very courageous."

The Herrscher of Death watched Bai Yan walking towards him, even a little surprised.

"But you'd better give me your life energy obediently."

The black mist released by the Herrscher of Death directly enveloped Bai Yan, and it could be clearly seen that Bai Yan's life energy was turning into a green line, pouring into the body of the Herrscher of Death.

After a minute, the Herrscher of Death noticed something was wrong.

Two minutes later, when the Herrscher of Death wanted to stop, he felt that he could suck up all the Bai Yan as long as he persisted.

Five minutes later, the Herrscher of Death already felt that there was no need to stop.

"Not okay yet? I'm already yawning."

Bai Yan yawned. He was a little sleepy now. After all, he had been standing there for five minutes without doing anything, so naturally he was a little sleepy.

"Who are you! Why is your life energy infinite?"

The Herrscher of Death stared at Bai Yan with some fear. The only way she could defeat the enemy now was to simply absorb life energy.

"Almost. Anyway, I've been alive for about ten thousand years. If I could really die, I would have died long ago. But for now, I can't die yet."

Bai Yan spread his hands and walked up to the Herrscher of Death without any hindrance.

"So, the guy above you never told you not to touch the people around me? You are looking for death!"

"Impossible! You...impossible!"

When Bai Yan put his hand in front of her head, with just a flick, the Herrscher of Death felt unprecedented pressure.

"no, do not want!"

In Bai Yan's eyes, Xi'er's body gradually decomposed, leaving only a Herrscher core.

......

"The story of the Herrscher of Death ends here."

The story Xi told made even ‘Xie’er’ a little stunned.

"Wait a minute, you said that guy Bai Yan killed a Herrscher with just one shot!"

"Well, at least in my memory, that is indeed the case. But in fact, it is only a small part of his strength,"

'Xier' couldn't believe it when she heard Xi's words.

"Then why did you appear here?"

"My soul has always been preserved in the Herrscher Core. At that time, Brother Bai Yan had a conversation with me through the Herrscher Core. At that time, he asked me if I wanted to survive."

"Then we reached a deal. He will let me wake up in the next reincarnation of civilization. The next time I see him is when you control Xi'er's body for the first time. At that time, the The core of the Herrscher of Death has awakened, but with the help of me and Bai Yan, it was temporarily suppressed."

"Wait a minute, but didn't the former civilization use the core of the Herrscher of Death to make the God Key?"

'Xie'er' also thought that the core of the Herrscher of Death had become the white flower of the black abyss, so what happened to the core.

"Although it is outrageous, the explanation is very simple, so simple that you might not even believe it if I tell it."

"Then tell me. I would like to hear how outrageous it is."

Seeing that 'Xier' didn't believe the outrageous situation, Xi smiled and directly played her memory to her.

In the picture, Bai Yan holds the core of the Herrscher of Death in his right hand. After just a faint smile, a brand new core of the Herrscher of Death appears in his left heart.

"So, the Herrscher core used by Black Abyss and Baihua in the Key of God is made by Bai Yan himself?"

'Xie'er' swallowed subconsciously. At this moment, Bai Yan's identity was already obvious.

In response, Xiye just nodded and then let 'Xie'er' leave.

If 'Xie'er' had not left, Xi'er would have noticed what the two of them were talking about. After all, this was Xi'er's consciousness space. As long as the owner paid attention to what they were talking about, he would naturally catch it. Some clues.

But the news known so far is enough for ‘Xie’er’ to digest for a long time.

"Tsk, there are really more and more troubles."

On the other side, Kiana and others, who returned to the main world through the Herrscher Core, also returned to the base of anti-entropy through the power of the Herrscher of the Sky created by Kiana.

"What's wrong with you? We just lost contact for more than half an hour. We can't contact you at all."

Tesla looked at the three people who had covered their heads since they got back, and didn't know what happened to them in the past half hour.

"Dr. Tesla, I'll leave this doll to you. Bronya and Kiana will go to rest first."

There is so much information that I suddenly learned today. Even Bronya, who has the power of the Herrscher of Reason, now has some headaches.

Not to mention Kiana and Xi'er.

Seeing Bronya, Xi'er and Kiana all looking tired, Tesla and Einstein suddenly felt a very strange feeling.

"Jiwotou, do you think they are hiding something from us?"

"It's not like it seems, but it seems like they experienced a lot in the half hour or so they disappeared."

Einstein could also clearly feel it. The three of them seemed to have experienced a lot.

"But let Ms. Theresa investigate this matter. Anyway, if we ask them about these things, they probably won't say anything. Next, let us study this thing first."

Rather than what happened to Kiana and the others, their top priority now was to investigate what was going on with the Herrscher Core.

Seeing that Einstein had already invested in research, after notifying Theresa, Tesla immediately invested in research on the core of the Herrscher.

While the Anti-Entropy side was intensely researching, everyone from the Immortal Blade also returned to the Destiny Headquarters.

But there is something very strange about the current Tianming headquarters. It seems to be a little too quiet.

However, they didn't know that after they could only hand over the doll to the people at the Tianming Research Laboratory, everyone at the Immortal Blade also received a notice of vacation.

Because of this, Arvette also felt strange. After struggling for a long time, she contacted Elsa again.

"Elsa, that's how it is. Don't you think your current destiny is strange?"

After telling Elsa everything, Arvette suddenly felt a little regretful.

"Is that so? According to what the teacher said before, Bishop Otto is probably making plans now. It's normal for the Tianming headquarters to be like this now, but you should know it soon, and most teachers won't let me say it. So. This can only be said to this extent, you should just treat it as a vacation for a while now."

"Okay. But we can't rest. There are still a lot of collapses happening in various parts of the world."

Arvette also knew that there was not much that she could know at her level, and even if she asked questions, there would probably be no results.

After interrupting Arvette's communication, Elsa looked at Cecilia behind her.

"Teacher, aren't you planning to take action? Arvette said that various small-scale collapses are occurring all over the world, and there are more and more of them."

Elsa looked at Cecilia who was still drinking tea slowly with some confusion.
