Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

Chapter 1634 The truth of the dream

"Ha~!"

Bai Mo's breathing was heavy, his chest rising and falling slowly, but the frost on his face did not change because of the high temperature and warm sunshine.

On the contrary, her eyes were solemn, and what was reflected in them was a mountain of corpses.

No, it is not appropriate to call it a mountain of corpses. After all, everything here is so flat, just like the space that Bai Mo built to welcome hundreds of millions of people.

The space is pure white and flat without any curves.

But even in such a world, as far as the eye can see, countless corpses are scattered across the endless wilderness.

Perhaps, it cannot be called a corpse.

Gray Snake is a robot after all.

But looking at those figures lying on the ground in all directions, some of whom even had incomplete bodies, Bai Mo's heart sank.

Because at this moment, a thought slowly arose in her heart.

"So many gray snakes, could this be all of them?"

When this thought appeared in Bai Mo's mind, she did not stop.

Walking on the land littered with corpses, his eyes turned away, but his steps unconsciously quickened.

As she passed by, a familiar voice seemed to sound beside her.

"Leaves, snowflakes, dripping water, the wind blowing, the chirping birds in the sky, and every wish Xiaobai has ever made."

Listen to them recalling every day in the past and every question Bai Mo asked during the more than a thousand times of companionship.

Even now, he still remembers everything.

Even now, the answer remains in my heart.

Perhaps it was unintentional, or perhaps it was intentional, this space seemed to have life, flowing slowly, bursting with all that was sincere that the deceased Gray Snake once had.

As she continued to move forward, the hairband that tied her high ponytail fell off quietly at some point and landed on the footsteps she had walked on.

The white hair scattered behind him and spread over his shoulders as he ran.

And that walking figure gradually transformed from a graceful young girl into an innocent child at that time.

Even the occasional nasal sounds between breathing slowly become more like a child's voice.

I don’t know how long I walked, maybe a minute, maybe ten minutes, or maybe longer.

She stopped and looked ahead.

There is nothing there.

"Gray Snake, can't you... give me an answer?"

It was originally a bitter murmur, but it became soft and sweet because of the voice of a child.

Bai Mo understood that if Gray Snake didn't want to see him, then it would be impossible for him to find him here.

Or maybe...

The gray snake has left?

But Bai Mo doesn't think so.

He hadn't said goodbye to himself yet.

Yeah, why is he always here?

In other words, no matter how willful the Gray Snake was, if she failed to say goodbye to her mistress when she left, then...

"You must be very unwilling, right?"

Rumble~!

Perhaps it was because Bai Mo evaporated too much water, or perhaps it was because of the increase in temperature, the dark clouds in the sky gathered again.

It seems like it's going to rain.

But Bai Mo didn't care.

Because she had an idea.

Or rather, she had always had a guess that she came here because she wanted to understand that Gray Snake would also be unwilling to give up...

Confirmed speculation.

Maybe... she knew why the gray snake had been refusing to see her.

"Let me ask you, Gray Snake, does the Stigmata Project really make you so persistent?"

"..."

no answer.

Expected.

Bai Mo walked forward on his own, but the sky gradually cleared up.

The sun shines through the dark clouds onto the earth, without a drop of water falling.

Just because Bai Mo was here, the rain that was supposed to fall finally stopped and the sky cleared up.

It turns out that the Gray Snake can control everything here.

I mean...everything.

Including Bai Mo's age and her appearance.

Even gender.

And this just confirms Bai Mo's guess.

Let me ask you, under what circumstances can a person control everything in a dream?

And under what circumstances, the person himself never appears?

If Bai Mo had looked back once during those more than a thousand days of companionship, perhaps he would have discovered this secret.

But her respect for the gray snake, or rather...

Her stupidity has kept her in the dark until now.

"You lied to me, Gray Snake."

"You keep saying that I've grown up, but I'm not that little kid anymore."

"But you always treat me as that ignorant little white."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Mo's tone became noticeably heavier.

"During those more than a thousand days of companionship, you never appeared behind me, right?"

"The dream in which I exist is not my dream, is it?"

"The so-called twelve o'clock reset is actually the limit of a gray snake supporting the dream, right?"

"There is no redo, and no reset. We are just going through one Gray Snake dream after another..."

"Is it right?"

Everything has an explanation.

Why does Gray Snake have such great authority there?

Why can the gray snake control everything?

Why the gray snake always knows everything and stays by his side.

Why can he appear whenever he wants, but Bai Mo can't find any trace of the gray snake's appearance?

Because the gray snake is the dream itself.

All along, they had naturally understood one thing wrong.

The dream world of the Stigmata Project refers to one’s own dreams.

But in fact... Bai Mo has always been in Huishe's dream.

Or in other words, the gray snake turned its own consciousness into a beautiful dream.

Reset and reincarnation do not exist. Every time Bai Mo wakes up, the consciousness of a gray snake dissipates, and the new consciousness repairs the original dream.

More than a thousand reappearances mean the departure of more than a thousand gray snakes.

And after that, this broken cocoon became so beautiful and became enough for Bai Mo and Youlandai'er to live peacefully.

I think it is also because countless gray snakes support this world based on their own consciousness.

So why couldn’t Bai Mo contact Gray Snake in the end?

Perhaps he no longer had the energy to respond, or perhaps...

He wanted to hide it all.

All the gray snakes left their dreams and lives here, forming the beautiful dream that Bai Mo and Youlandel saw, which has existed for 50,000 years.

Yes, the gray snake supported this dream and used countless lives to build a home for Bai Mo.

And this dream has existed for Bai Mo alone for 50,000 years.

So why did he do all this?

Maybe... it was just to give Bai Mo and Youlandai'er a place they could return to, a place called "home".

That's all.

"Gray snake!"

But Bai Mo was angry! Very angry!

After figuring out all this, Bai Mo also understood.

Maybe, maybe the gray snake did provide Bai Mo with a beautiful dream, a home.

But at the same time, he also trapped Bai Mo.

He never gave up the Stigmata Plan from beginning to end.

He was the one who supported Bai Mo's dream with his life, but he was also the one who trapped Bai Mo here, forcing her to spend 50,000 years in her sleep with Youlandel!

That's why Bai Mo said that the gray snake had deceived her, because if it weren't for him holding it up, the cocoon would not have taken ten minutes to disappear.

Naturally, Bai Mo wouldn’t need to spend these 50,000 years here.

"what is this?"

"Gray Snake! What on earth are you?!"

"You still don't want to give up?"

Bai Mo clenched his fist.

"The Stigmata Project is over! Why are you doing this!?"

“Does this really make sense?”

Bai was angry, but not just angry.

He was even more angry that Gray Snake had put himself in such a death for a plan that was doomed to be meaningless!

"The Stigma Project, are you really that obsessed with it?!"

Bai Mo didn’t understand, she really didn’t know what Gray Snake was thinking.

It's just a stigmata plan! Even Kevin stopped it! So what are you persisting for now?
