Honkai Impact 3: Rebirth of Ellie, starting with the Tower of Babylon

"Oh, so boring..." In the ruins of the Tower of Babel, Xilin sat on the chair she made and was bored...picking her fingers? "When will Ai Li come back?"

"Then you can go find her yourself, right?"

"God?" Xilin looked up suddenly, "Are you still here?"

"..."

"God? Why don't you say anything?" Xilin now looked like a believer who had lost his faith. "Did I not do well enough? You said that humans are too strong now. We need to accumulate strength and not cause too much trouble."

Otherwise, she would have been hit by several meteorites, Xilin thought.

"...No. You did a great job."

"But if you're going to look for someone, why don't you go in person?"

"Hehe, I am God's messenger, Your Majesty, how can I do this kind of thing myself?" Xilin stood up and said, "But it's been so long, I'd better take a look myself."

Then Celine flew away.

"...Alas!" In the imaginary space, a white figure observed everything in the outside world, "It really is..."

-

"Is it... Lady Theresa?"

"You...are?" Theresa widened her eyes and said to the woman who just spoke to her, "Hana? Right? You are Hana?"

"Yes, it's me." said the woman who just spoke.

"You...what's going on?" Theresa counted the number of people. Was a whole team captured?

“……”Everyone at the scene just lowered their heads and no one spoke.

"…Sorry, I was anxious," Theresa apologized. She was indeed anxious.

"It's okay, Lady Theresa," Hana said. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Let me tell you."

"That day."

-

That day

"Hey, captain, there are no Honkai beasts nearby, so what are we doing here?" said a woman with short golden hair in the team.

"Even if we don't have it, we can't be careless, Xiao Ke." Hana pointed to a place on the map, "This place showed a very high Honkai energy reaction yesterday. The superior said that if this Honkai energy coefficient is higher, a Herrscher will be born."

"Hey↘↗, Captain, you're just worrying too much," Xiao Ke pointed at the endless snowfield, "Captain, think about it, the last Herrscher appeared in Berlin, which is a big city! Where are we now? Siberia! This is a godforsaken place with no one in sight. Even the Herrscher would despise this place."

"..."

"Besides, Captain, if a Herrscher really shows up, it won't be our turn, so don't worry, ah."

"Report to the captain!" A voice came from the communicator, "We found a village here!"

"..."

"..."

Hana looked at Xiao Ke dimly: "No bird shit?"

"..."

-

Arriving at the village

"Hey, captain, do you feel like there's something weird here?" Xiao Ke whispered to Hana.

"Huh?" Hana asked in confusion, "Why? Why is it strange when we haven't even entered the village gate?"

"Intuition, you don't know, Captain, my intuition is very accurate. When I was a child, there was an alley next to my house. My intuition told me that good things would happen if I entered this alley, and then..."

"Did you find the money?"

"I fell into the waterway..."

"????" Hana had a question mark on her face. "No, didn't you say your intuition is accurate?"

"Yeah, my intuition is usually the opposite." Xiao Ke said seriously. "As soon as I arrived at the door of this village, I felt a surge of blessing rushing to my head, as if I could live a peaceful and happy old age after entering. You said we still need to... Ouch! Captain, why did you flick my forehead?"

"Why are you still so feudal and superstitious? I will ask the higher-ups to give you some ideological education one day."

"Hey, come on, Captain, isn't it okay if I'm wrong?"

"Hey, you guys keep up and don't fall behind." Hana said to the team members behind.

"Oh, okay, okay."

"Hey, did you notice that the captain and Xiao Ke have a very good relationship?"

"Yeah yeah"

"What are you talking about? If you continue to make up rumors, I will punish you by making you copy the rules and regulations!"

The crowd entered the village in a noisy manner.

"Rest in peace, Yuri."

"Oh, I'm so sorry that your father is gone from you."

"That guy is such an ungrateful person. Your father was so kind to adopt her. Oh, I feel sick if I don't mention her."

Hearing these words, Xiaoke frowned and was about to pull Hana, but Hana stepped forward first.

"Villagers, what's wrong with you?" Hana asked.

"you are?"

"I'm the Valkyrie of Destiny, and I'm here to investigate something." Hana showed her ID, and the point of the Honkai energy explosion shown on the map was in the village.

"Excuse me, what happened here?"

"Well, it's a long story."

"Lord Valkyrie, you must bring justice to the children of our village!"

"His name is Yuli, and his father is a very kind man in the village! His family is rich and he is never stingy. Whenever the villagers are in trouble, he will help them. But good people don't live long..."

"Uncle, what happened?"

"Some time ago, a little girl came to the village. She didn't look like a good person at first glance. Her eyes looked like a monster. But Yuli's father was kind-hearted and took her in because he saw that she had no home."

"But the good times didn't last long. The girl coveted the property of Yuli's father's family and killed him..." The villager who said this looked very sad, as if he had killed his own father.

"So... is there anything unusual about that girl?" Hana asked.

"If it's abnormal... She was knocked down by Yuri, and there were purple lines on her body!"

"Where is that girl now?" Hana felt that she had found the reason for the abnormal Honkai energy.

"She must have driven us out of the village." After all, the attempt to kill her was unsuccessful. But the villagers did not say the latter part.

"Um..." Hana responded. She needed to sort out the information now. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

"Excuse me, what do you want to do with that girl?" the villager asked cautiously.

"That's all I can tell you." The information about the collapse has not yet been passed on to the public, so this matter certainly cannot be told to them.

But what Hana didn't know was that it was because of these words that she and her team would fall into an endless abyss...

-

"Captain, you're here?"

"Well, Xiaoke, what do you want me to do?" Hana asked.

After talking with the villagers in the morning, Xiao Ke came to her mysteriously and told her that they wanted to talk alone in the evening.

"Captain, do you still remember the villager who said those words to you?" Xiao Ke said, looking around.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I thought he was suspicious after he talked to you today, so I followed him to his house."

"Xiao Ke! You..."

"I found this at his house."

Xiaoke raised the camera and the photo inside was of an axe with blood stains that had not been cleaned yet.

"And, Captain, I can guarantee with my life that this axe is..."

"It's human blood."
