Honkai Impact 3: Taking Life as C? Even the Valkyries are afraid of me

"The story of Cecilia and Celine? I'm trying to figure out where to start."

"It all started in Siberia, in the Babylonian Laboratory of Destiny..."

Bai Ming organized his thoughts, and in order to make it easier for Kiana to relate, he began to tell her story from Xilin's perspective.

………………

The girl named Xilin can no longer remember what happiness feels like. Her life before the disaster could probably be called happy.

But that time was so unreal that I couldn't even recall the feeling at that time. It was as if the starting point of my life was that disaster, and the life before that had never existed.

In the empty ward, Xilin's dead mother was lying. The young Xilin was standing beside her mother, crying uncontrollably.

There are several other girls who have the same experience as her. Their parents were killed in a disaster, but they themselves survived miraculously.

"Your parents died of a disease called [Honkai], but you don't have to be afraid, the Destiny organization will adopt you. Also, you are lucky, you are born with antibodies to Honkai energy. Humanity needs you to help with experiments. It will be painful at first, but don't be afraid." said the Destiny staff.

Xilin and other girls were still at an ignorant age. They had not yet recovered from the great sorrow of losing their parents. Having lost their home, they were eager to get a new home that could give them comfort.

What's more, they had no other choice as they had no ability to survive on their own, so they had to agree to the people of Destiny and come to the research institute - the largest Honkai energy research base of Destiny, the Babylon Tower.

To the outside world, the Tower of Babylon is the largest medical institution in the world, engaged in medical research to conquer Honkai energy. In fact, what is studied here is the technology of combining Honkai energy with the human body - the stigmata.

The stigmata and other Honkai energy techniques are used in the fight against Honkai, providing the Valkyrie with the power to fight against Honkai.

But the price behind this is one cruel human experiment after another.

Over the years, thousands of girls have cried and called out in the depths of the dark base. All of this pain has been blown away by the cold wind of Siberia, leaving only a few strings of cold data in the computer.

Beneath these data are bloody deaths, inhumane experiments, and the cold indifference of fate.

As one of the experimental subjects, Sirin endured long and painful years in Babylon. The researchers of Destiny injected a large amount of Honkai energy into her body. These Honkai energies tortured Sirin all the time and made her life worse than death.

She had sought help from people outside the iron gate countless times, but all she got was increasingly cruel experiments.

She had heard the screams of these other girls, some of which had risen from whispers to frantic screams and from frantic screams to quiet screams and finally to the silence that represented death.

Later, her friends, Aurora, Agata and Bella all left her because of the experiments.

That day, Xilin stood beside the snow pile that buried Aurora, Agata and Bella, and inserted three branches for them.

Seeing her friends buried like garbage in a place that couldn't even be called a grave, and the researchers around her just treating them as scrap, Xilin didn't even feel despair, as if she was just an empty shell with only experimental value, not even a human being.

Perhaps in the future she will also lose her life under the torture of deadly Honkai energy like Bella and the others, and become scrap that no one remembers.

………………

Hearing this, Kiana hugged herself, her body trembling slightly, and she felt cold all over.

Just by listening to the story, she could feel the endless darkness, pain, and despair.

What’s more, what do the girls who are caught up in it think?

To live, they have to face endless pain and torture, like the darkest night where people cannot see any hope. No, under such inhuman experiments, they probably cannot even feel despair. They exist only as experimental props.

Once you die, you will just be thrown into a pile of snow and become waste that no one will remember.

Kiana didn't know what they were thinking, but she was sure that it was a feeling deeper than despair.

Compared to them, my life is simply heaven.

In that kind of environment, even having a bite of cake would be a luxury.

She couldn't help but think of the emotion revealed in Xilin's eyes when she ate the cake when she first entered the dream. Although she had no expression on her face, she was still touched.

No wonder she asks her mother to buy her a small cake every time after school.

It turns out that there is such a sad story behind this hobby.

Thinking of this, Kiana couldn't help but feel indescribable sadness, her eyes slightly reddened, and she cursed:

"****, Babylon is such an inhuman!"

"If those people fall into my hands, I will definitely do this and that..."

She pumped her fist vigorously.

"They beat them until even their parents can't recognize them, and then they sell them to black factories to make screws, the kind that James Bond used to do!"

After all, Kiana is kind and innocent, and this is the most vicious way she can think of to punish evil people.

"And that bastard Tianming is the world's number one organization. He actually collected experimental materials in the name of adopting orphans. I will also teach them a lesson! Ah, damn it, I'm so angry, so angry!"

Bai Ming: "There is no absolute good or evil. There are good people in destiny, such as your mother Cecilia. If you want to blame someone, just blame Otto. Anyway, all these tragedies are caused by him."

"Otto?" Kiana tilted her head.

She clearly remembered that Bai Ming told her in the dream that he was afraid of the power of his stinky father, so he launched a Honkai fission bomb, hoping to kill his stinky father as well.

Uh——!!! He is also a damn bad guy!

Bai Ming nodded: "Yes, Otto, you are right to hate him. This is all Otto's fault."

Otto's artificial stigma experiment has enabled many Valkyries to gain stronger power to fight against the collapse.

From this perspective, it cannot be said that it is useless. After all, it has indirectly saved many lives.

It's true that he made a significant contribution to Honkai, but I still want to curse Otto for being a bastard.

But unless necessary, in order to prevent others from interfering with his plan to resurrect Kallen and eliminate all destabilizing factors, he turned into a shit stirrer and stirred up too much shit, which had become stinking.

But it is far from enough to evaluate Otto as a simple villain. He can be very simple or very complex.

Speaking of Otto, Bai Ming suddenly remembered that a friend of his who was a fan of Otto cried intermittently for a whole day after Otto's death. The next day, he told me that he dreamed that Otto crawled out of the ground and was resurrected.

I asked her if she had told him how much she loved him or something, and she said she was so busy crying and pushing him back that she forgot to tell him. She even found a board and pressed it down to prevent him from climbing out.

"Okay." Bai Ming collected his thoughts and said, "Let's continue."
