Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Hehehe..." Looking at the Honkai energy blade that had pierced her, Sirin just stood there and smiled, as if she had not been hurt at all.

"Hahaha, haha! Human, are you crazy? This is my illusion. This is just a clone. Even if you defeat me with that 'toy', you can't leave the illusion, right?"

"Oh?" After hearing these words, the young man in the distance raised his head disapprovingly: "Who said I was going to defeat you?"

"What?" The figure was suddenly stunned, but immediately she reacted: "Could it be that!?"

She turned her head and looked behind her. It turned out that the sword blade did not stop after piercing her, but continued to extend, piercing the wall behind her.

"You! This is what you did from the beginning!" She shouted angrily as she looked at the space that had begun to fall apart along with the cracks in the wall.

"No." The captain raised his head, "To be honest, I'm not sure, so in this case, of course I can only try everything, right?"

While concentrating all his energy on activating the "Absolute Sword Style" in this illusion, the captain also kept trying to understand the "rules" of this illusion. Fortunately, there are some things that Siren doesn't understand. The illusion she created is slightly different from the "rules" of the real world. These differences are enough for the captain to find flaws in the illusion.

After saying that, the captain swung the sword fiercely again, and the part of the sword that penetrated the wall also passed through the wall, easily cutting through the entire illusion. As cuts appeared out of thin air, the illusion created by Siren began to shatter and collapse like glass falling to the ground...

"captain!!!"

Seeing the space around her collapse, Kiana wanted to grab the captain, but her hand seemed to have touched an invisible barrier. No matter what she did, she could not touch the captain's body. She saw that the captain's body, together with the surrounding space, began to have cracks and gradually disintegrated...

"captain!!!!"

"I'm fine, Kiana, don't worry." The captain turned back and said with a smile.

"Captain..." Seeing the smile on the captain's face, Kiana finally confirmed what she had long suspected: "You... you are the real captain, right?"

"Ah."

"As expected...that's it. Captain, did you come specifically to my dream to save me?"

"No." The captain shook his head, "Kiana, it was you who saved you."

"Myself?"

"Xilin's purpose is obviously to make your heart collapse. Although there are some things that I am not sure about, but if you have not succeeded in picking up the courage just now, then no matter how hard I struggle, I may not be able to help you. "

"Yeah?"

"Yes." The captain's tone was calm but firm.

"Hehe, it seems that this young lady is quite powerful." She smiled peacefully and wiped her moist eyes.

In the almost completely shattered illusion, the girl asked softly, "Captain, after you get out, can you tell me more about you?"

"As long as you don't fall asleep hearing it."

"No way, hee hee!"

The moment the captain saw the smile on Kiana's face, the illusion was completely shattered. In the same void, his consciousness felt an inexplicable sadness...

……

At the end of the void, the captain opened his eyes. In front of him was a simple but warm log ceiling. The familiar fragrance of ink and wood seemed to constantly remind him that he was back.

"Well…"

"Are you awake? Are you okay?" The concerned voice of his old friend reached his ears. The captain blinked and then saw the face of the girl in front of him clearly.

"Fu Hua...I'm fine." The captain smiled and shook his head, "Where is Kiana?"

"She woke up 10 minutes ago. She seems to be fine at all. She should be making a fuss in the living room right now, asking Mei to hurry up and start dinner."

"Yeah..." After hearing this, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat up and stretched. Just as he was about to stand up, he smelled a special smell in the air.

The elegant and fragrant fragrance was very familiar, but also very faint. The captain lowered his head and his eyes fell on Fu Hua's bed.

"This is…"

He gently moved the pillow and found a flower petal lying under the pillow, and it looked very fresh.

"Rose...?"

"Huh? What are you looking at?"

"No, I just found a petal."

"Oh." Fu Hua looked at the petals, responded intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "Fortunately, you are okay. Kiana is obviously awake, but you are still sleeping. I'm really afraid that you will encounter something unexpected. .”

"I'm sorry for making you worry. However, I think this way, Kiana's abnormal symptoms will disappear."

"Thanks a lot."

"You too, thanks to you this time, Fu Hua."

Fu Hua did not respond, but nodded slightly. The captain held the petal, frowned and muttered to himself, "But, why are Kiana and 'her' connected together?"

"Are you thinking about Kiana?"

"Well, and now I finally know the identity of that voice. Listen to me, the symbol..."

Boom!Boom!

Before the captain finished speaking, there was a knock on Fu Hua's door, and Theresa's voice came from outside the door: "Fu Hua, are you awake? You are ready to have dinner."

"Ah, ah...Okay, principal, I'll be right away."

"Well, by the way, I heard from Mei that the captain is with you? Is he still there?"

"Uh..." Fu Hua turned his head and glanced at the young man behind him, only to see him shaking his head violently. Fu Hua immediately replied: "Principal, the captain left before you came back."

"Oh...Okay, then I'll call that guy and ask him to come over for dinner. Fu Hua, hurry up too~"

"Ok."

After the two of them finished speaking, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know how long it had been since Theresa came back, it must have been a while. He looked at his phone and saw that it was already night. If she saw that she was still in Fu Hua's room at this moment, she always felt like she would be interrogated on the spot...

After Theresa left, Fu Hua asked in confusion: "Why are you shaking your head?"

"Uh... everyone must have come back quite early. If they knew that I stayed in your room until now, Theresa would definitely interrogate me with Himeko."

"Too…"

"You go to eat first, I'll go this way."

The young man smiled and pointed to the open window next to the bed.

"Well..." Fu Hua looked at the captain who was about to cross the window sill, as if hesitating about what to say, but she immediately looked away: "Ahem, be careful."

"Well, I'll see you later."

The captain made an OK gesture, and then jumped down from the window easily. After seeing the captain jump from the window, Fu Hua, who was standing in front of the door, couldn't help but sigh: "He must have discovered it..."

With a clicking sound, Fu Hua closed the door from the outside.
