Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"At this level, this young lady can't be troubled! Captain, don't worry, I will protect you!"

"Kia..." Before the captain could speak, Kiana had already flew out and kicked a dead soldier in the face. The dead soldier spun and flew several meters away, and the two swords in his hands also flew aside. .

"Come on, I've been holding back my anger and let you have a taste of how powerful I am!" After saying that, Kiana punched the dead soldier in front of her in the face again. Seeing several flying arrows flying from a distance, Kiana directly grabbed the dead warrior and pulled it in front of her, and all the arrows were inserted into the dead warrior's back.

"Try this!" She threw the dead warrior out with all her strength, and the dead warrior accurately hit a dead warrior behind who was shooting cold arrows. Several more dead warriors that appeared later were also easily eliminated by her with a few blows.

"Huh~ That's it." Kiana proudly inserted her waist, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Ah! By the way, there are those at the back, Captain, didn't you..."

She turned around hurriedly, but only saw a few dead soldiers falling around the captain. The only remaining dead soldier who could still be considered standing fell down quietly the moment she turned back.

"Ah this..."

"Huh? I'm fine, Kiana." The young man standing among the dead soldiers said casually.

"Captain, you..."

"Who said you wanted to protect me just now?"

"I was in a moment of excitement, so I forgot, hehe." Kiana scratched her head in embarrassment, rolled her eyes and asked curiously: "Captain, I remember Aunt Jizi said that you are a non-combatant. Are you coming?"

"Yes, I am a non-combatant."

"But you just..."

"It's just some self-defense skills. I'm afraid I'll be cut into pieces by them by the time you come over." The captain squatted next to the dead soldier and said casually while checking them.

"Oh..." Kiana was a little confused, but it seemed to make sense, so she stopped thinking about it. . .

After dealing with some scattered enemies along the way, the two came to a relatively spacious room. Although it is still surrounded by iron walls, there is a glass window on one wall that can clearly see the outside scenery.

"No way..." Kiana looked out the window. There was only ice and snow outside. The strong wind mixed with snowflakes made it difficult to see the scenery in the distance. "It looks cold. Where is this place?"

"Siberian snowfields." The captain replied calmly.

"Huh??" Kiana opened her mouth wide, with surprise on her face.

"At the end of the last century, Destiny once built a magnificent building in the desolate snowfields of Siberia, nominally to treat and develop medicines for people affected by Honkai energy disasters."

"In name?"

"Well, but in fact, Tianming is using this as an excuse to conduct extremely inhuman experiments, and..."

The captain paused and was not in a hurry to explain further. Kiana looked at the complicated expression on his face, and seemed to vaguely sense something bad.

"What's wrong? Why don't you continue talking?" The weird female voice echoed around the room. Finally, the owner of the voice turned into a dark figure and appeared in front of the two of them. The outline of the body made the captain feel familiar. .

"Hehehe, we meet again, Qi~a~na★"

"Sure enough, it's you again!"

"Hmm, who else could it be? Well, let me think about it, I have to congratulate you first." The figure raised his hands and began to applaud rhythmically: "I didn't expect you to be able to defeat Gani. Sa, although I received help from my friends, for a B-level Valkyrie like you, this is an absolutely insurmountable obstacle."

"Exactly." Kiana turned her head and said disdainfully: "Even though my title is only B-level, I have the strength of an S-level Valkyrie!"

"Oh my! Although your strength is good, it is still far behind the S-class Valkyrie. After all, 16 years ago, I personally learned the strength of the S-class Valkyrie."

"Wha, what, 16 years ago?"

"Hmm~" The black shadow smiled jokingly and pointed at someone next to Kiana, "You rude intruder, won't you explain yourself?"

"..." Being led so deliberately, the captain had no choice but to continue what he had just said.

"Sixteen years ago, with the Second Collapse, the "Second Herrscher" was born. At that time, she was born in this building. Is that right, Siren? "

The figure remained silent, and the captain fell silent again. The already dark and permeable environment combined with the atmosphere between the two people made Kiana feel that the place became even more depressing.

"Disgusting." After a long time, the figure responded.

"But, that's exactly what it is~Kiana~"

"Damn it..." Kiana clenched her fists. Although she didn't understand the strange atmosphere between the two people, Kiana knew that since the figure in front of her was the "Second Herrscher", then she was the one who harmed her. Kill your own mother: Cecilia Shaniat’s murderer!

"Even if it's just a dream, I won't let you go! Be prepared, you are the murderer of my mother!"

After saying that, Kiana ran forward and kicked the figure in the face, but the figure just disappeared from her eyes with a contemptuous laugh. Then, a cold breath hit behind the captain. The captain nimbly stepped aside and stood together with Kiana again.

"Alas..." Seeing the captain dodge, the black shadow appeared again on the spot.

"Really~ You little guy really doesn't know right from wrong, why are you blaming me?"

"If you don't blame me, who do you blame!?"

"Huh?" The black figure levitated and looked at Kiana with interest: "Your mother, Destiny's only S-class Valkyrie at that time: Cecilia Shaniat, a humanoid weapon with high hopes. , the ultimate ace against Honkai, but he was at a disadvantage in the battle with me, do you know why?"

"What..." Kiana's whole body suddenly shook, and her clenched hands suddenly began to tremble. She forced herself to squeeze out a few words from her mouth, "Is it... because of... me?"

"Kiana, please don't... eh!?" Before the captain could finish speaking, an inexplicable force suddenly pushed him a few meters away, and finally made him hit the wall of the room heavily.

"Don't get in the way." Black Shadow put down the hand he just raised and said impatiently.

"captain!!"

"I'm fine, Kiana." The captain said and quickly got up from the ground, but there was also a sharp pain in his shoulders and back.

"Well... the result is as you guessed, Kiana~"

"you!"

"Haha, because since giving birth to you, Cecilia has never recovered her strength. Those guys from the Destiny Organization are worried that Cecilia will fail, so~"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "So, they launched many, many tactical missiles into Siberia, hoping to kill Cecilia and me together."

"I, I don't believe it!"

"Oh? Really?" Her tone seemed to reveal that she was well prepared for Kiana's reaction.

"Then tell me, why did your father Siegfried leave you and disappear?"

"That's...that's because..." Kiana couldn't help but take a step back. It seemed that the other party's words hit Kiana's pain point.
