Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

【The scorching white light is reflected on the blade, and the girl's figure is soft and graceful, as dexterous as the best dancer. 】

【The long cherry pink hair flutters like a rain of cherry blossoms falling in late spring. 】

[It's not like swordsmanship, but it's more like dance, it's so beautiful. 】

[Sakura has not received much formal education in swordsmanship, but she is very talented in this area. After crossing countless Shura death realms, she has formed her own ultimate swordsmanship. 】

【Her blade is clearly coming towards you. Even if it avoids the vital points, it can still make people completely lose their resistance in an instant. 】

[You still maintain the posture of putting your hands in the pockets of your white coat, and your steps suddenly stop. 】

【You look at the blade coming towards you, and the glaring white light reflected on the blade. 】

[Unknowingly, the corners of your mouth rise slightly. 】

[It's beautiful, isn't it? 】

【You don't care whether others have the intention to kill you. Even if you really die at someone's hands, you won't hate him because of your own death. 】

[Because death itself is not worth caring about. 】

【However...】

【Even knowing the mistakes and crimes, you still have the determination to stain your hands with blood and crimes...】

[I have to say, it's really beautiful, it reminds me of the blood-stained cherry blossoms, it's so beautiful. 】

【This kind of beauty made you feel a little relieved for not being able to say goodbye to Sakura as a friend. 】

【You stand quietly on the spot, letting the blade approach. 】

【Then--】

【The moment it touched your body surface, the blade stopped abruptly, and it just weakly added a new scratch on the clothes. 】

[You rejected the intervention of the blade she swung, and maintained an "unharmed" state. 】

[In the combat team of "Masquerade Ball", the official members are called "Saints", which means "We have received strength and glory from the hand of God". 】

[And the power of their consciousness actually originates from you in the first place. 】

【In other words, right now, you actually have more power than anyone in the "Masquerade Ball" saint squad. 】

[The future is still uncertain. After all, the power of consciousness, who will break through first in the next stage, is still unknown. 】

[However, at least for now...]

[You are very strong. 】

【you......】

[It is the strongest. 】

[Unless it is the most destructive power that humans can master at present, it is just a gentle force like a sword, even if you have exquisite skills, it is meaningless to you. 】

【You look at the obvious astonishment on the face of the girl in front of you, and the relief under the astonishment, which even she herself has not noticed. 】

[The next moment, only the roar of a building being blasted can be heard. 】

[The surrounding walls were directly collided in a rather brutal way and exploded. 】

【Behind the exploding wall, a silver-haired figure burst out of the barrier. 】

【Holding a heavy cross in her hand, she interprets the concept of violence all over her body, completely cutting off Sakura's thoughts of running away. 】

【—Although, if she wants to escape in front of you, she doesn't have the possibility. 】

【Sakura was silent for a while, then wordlessly retracted the long knife in her hand into its sheath, and gave up resistance. 】

[She has a clear understanding of her own strength. 】

【Therefore, even if you have other thoughts in your heart, it is useless. 】

【not to mention......】

【Sakura has always been very clear that even if she can successfully complete her previous missions, it doesn't mean that her future missions will be the same. 】

[As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, failure is also very possible. 】

【Since someone who has the experience of staining the blade of his own hand with the blood of others, it is only natural that he will have the same ending in the future, right? 】

[There is no room for complaining at all. 】

【Sakura sighed, untied the weapon tied around her waist, and threw the long knife and scabbard on the ground. 】

【"I failed." Sakura's tone was a little low, but at the same time she seemed to be indescribably relieved. 】

【Before she acted, she had already considered the possibility of encountering an unexpected mission failure. 】

[But even if the mission fails, even if she dies here... "Poison Chrysalis" should not be too harsh on her, at least Bell doesn't need to worry too much. 】

【On the contrary, she herself was freed from the experience of constantly tossing and turning in Shura's death zone, and she didn't have to continue struggling in the quagmire. 】

[It is not a pleasant thing to have the blood of other people on your hands, whether it is an external enemy or an internal traitor, whether it is a guilty person or an innocent person. 】

[When she was still young, she would tell herself that everything she did was for her sister Ling, and she had no choice but to make Ling grow up healthy and happy, then no matter how much blood was stained on her hands It's all worth it. 】

[But later, she suddenly felt, is it really okay to put the cruel things she has done in the name of "for the bell"? 】

[In the final analysis, this is nothing more than a cowardly escape, to shirk the sins that have been stained in my own hands on others. 】

【and......】

【She realizes that she really doesn't want to draw a sword at you. 】

[The ending is fine now. 】

【Sakura is temporarily detained in the research institute, waiting for the reaction from the flame-chasing moth. 】

[As for Sakura, a member of the "Poisonous Chrysalis" who has joined the Fire Moth for a while, the reaction from the Fire Moth seems to be... within a short period of time...]

【no response. 】

【In this case, there was an extremely tacit understanding between the "Masquerade Ball" and the Flame Chasing Moth. 】

[The normal cooperation between the two parties has not been affected in the slightest. 】

[By the way, the weapon powered by the core of the Herrscher of Thunder that has just been officially completed in Moth of Chasing Fire, the God's Key·Cleansing Seven Thunders, was accidentally stolen. 】

[Flame Chasing Moth didn't react too much to this matter. 】

【Your life continues at the usual pace, and you seem to have completely forgotten about Sakura who was imprisoned in the research institute. 】

[Of course, even though it was said that she was imprisoned, Sakura was not treated badly. She could even use communication equipment to communicate with her younger sister. 】

[It's just that the weapons were confiscated and activities were restricted. 】

[You don't care if you are being pointed at with a sword, even in the face of other people's killing intent, you can deal with it calmly, and even have an attitude of appreciation. 】

[It has to be said that behind this kind of appreciation, there may be some extremely deep and bad qualities...]

[However, appreciation is appreciation, what you do, you still have to bear the consequences after all. 】

【——This is also Sakura's idea, she has already made mental preparations. 】

[For now, you have no leisure to deal with matters related to her. 】

[You continue to study the core of the Herrscher of the Sky. 】

[As for how to borrow the power of the Herrscher of the Void, the Firechaser Moth has already given their answer - the God's Key. 】

[Or, this is the answer given by mei. 】

[Actually, Flame Chasing Moth is more inclined to fuse the Herrscher's core with the human body to create a controllable Herrscher. 】

[However, after countless experiments, what can finally be confirmed is that this matter is not feasible at all. 】

[The core of the Herrscher can continuously produce a high concentration of Houkai energy, which is more violent than poison to humans. 】

[What's more, it is to fuse the Herrscher's core and body with each other. 】

[Any experiments that try to achieve results in this area, often at the very beginning of the experiment, the body of the experimental subject has already collapsed due to the erosion of Houkai energy. 】

【but......】

[If it's just the problems related to the erosion of Honkai, you may not be unable to find a way to overcome this problem. 】

[After all, with the power of consciousness, or "light", it can resist interference from the outside world, even in the face of the erosion of the body by the Houkai energy. 】

[The only problem is that if you use the power of the Herrscher's core directly by yourself without using tools, it means that the user's consciousness will inevitably come into direct contact with the Herrscher's core. 】

[That is to say, the user's consciousness needs to be directly connected to the authority of the collapse. 】

[In this case, the user's personal consciousness will inevitably be disturbed by the collapse. 】

[Whether it is your research institute or the moth that chases the fire, there are corresponding records for Herrscher. 】

[Before Herrscher was born, he was originally a normal human being, but the moment he became a Herrscher, his consciousness had been changed, and he instantly became an enemy of human beings. 】

⑧5⑥⒈0⒐78② [Linglong]

[Actually, rather than saying that the consciousness is changed by the Houkai, it is better to say that it is assimilated and integrated into the Houkai. 】

[However, the rules belonging to the collapse itself are in severe contradiction with the normal continuation of human civilization. 】

[It's not so much that the collapse is destroying the world, it's better to say that it just flows into the world naturally, just like the sea water flooding the land, which is natural and not malicious, but it may be a disaster for the creatures on the land disaster. 】

[And the Herrscher who has integrated into the Houkai is trying hard to let the "sea water" of the Houkai spread to the land—perhaps, at this time, it will also be affected by the original part of the thinking logic remaining in the body, so Behaving more aggressively. 】

[This means that directly using the Herrscher core, it is inevitable that the consciousness will be affected, even if the saint team of the "Masquerade Ball" is itself specialized in the field of consciousness. 】

[Honkai's treatment of changes in consciousness is not an infringement, but an inevitable requirement for using its authority. 】

【It’s like firewood can’t emit light and heat without being gradually burned up. 】

[There are only two ways of thinking that you can imagine using the authority of the person who controls the Lawrence. 】

[First, even though the changes in consciousness caused by Honkai cannot be avoided, there are always ways to delay this process as much as possible. 】

[Second, through some kind of spiritual protection, indirectly use consciousness to drive the core of the Herrscher. 】

【For example...】

[Forcibly control the spirit of the Herrscher, in order to control the core of the Herrscher. 】

[You are lost in thought. 】

[This kind of thing, you can't help but be careless. 】

[If it fails, it is equivalent to letting the Herrscher as the enemy reappear in this world. 】

[Just as you were thinking, there was a knock on the office door. 】

[You push open the door, and standing outside is a girl with black and blue shoulder-length short hair. 】

【"PhD......"】

[The girl stood outside the door, holding each other's hands uncomfortably, pursing her pink lips lightly. 】

[The moment her eyes met yours, she quickly lowered her head, and there was an indescribable sense of depression in those dark blue eyes. 】

【"Seele? What's the matter?"】

【Seele hesitated for a while, and finally nodded slightly, humming lightly. 】

【You step aside from the door and motion for her to go into the office and talk. 】

【She is sitting on the seat opposite you, with her head down, her face looks a little dazed. 】

【You pour a cup of tea and gently place it in front of her. 】

【However, this small movement made her feel as if she had been stimulated by something, she was slightly shocked, and then she came back to her senses. 】

【You are not in a hurry, and wait patiently for her to sort out her mood and words. 】

【In this mood, you raise your hand and gently point to the teacup in front of her. 】

【Seele looked at the teacup in front of him, as if he was ordered, he quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip. 】

【Looking at her distraught look, even if the teacup is not tea but white vinegar, she will drink it subconsciously. 】

[And the result of such behavior is that the tea that he just drank was immediately sprayed out in the next instant. 】

【After all, the tea in that cup unexpectedly had an unbearable bitter taste, which made her spit it out reflexively. 】

[Fortunately, you seem to have been prepared for this, and you have already taken all the paper documents on the table to the side. 】

【"Sorry, doctor, I..."】
