But at the same time, there was no more smile on her face.
Perhaps, this is the price of growth.
Elysia controlled Kiana, fighting carefully, and finally delayed it for a minute, and then ran away quickly.
But on the way to escape, she was blocked by the Honkai Beast. The Honkai Beast's spear fell high, as if it was going to pierce Kiana's body.
At this moment, her left eye instantly turned orange, Sirin's voice sounded in her ears, and then her vision turned dark.
Kiana's consciousness sank into a dark space.
She didn't understand why she was still alive.
It's because she has committed too many sins and needs to live to accept the punishment of fate.
Or does she think you can resist the Herrscher's personality and think she still have a chance to save everything?
Or maybe there is still a trace of fantasy in her heart, hoping that this is all just a nightmare, and everything will return to its original state after the class bell rings?
Kiana gritted her teeth, trying hard to control her mind that was about to lose control, and recalled everything worth recalling in the past.
Eventually, the memories came flooding back to her in fragments.
Kiana opened her eyes again, and Mei, Theresa and other familiar companions appeared beside her.
At the same time, the voice of the Herrscher of the Void sounded again. She bewitched Kiana's consciousness, controlled Mei and Theresa, and attacked her, trying to make her completely despair.
But Kiana could only cry out in pain, constantly telling herself that this was not true.
Watching this plot, Elysia pursed her lips tightly, her eyes filled with heartache.
" Kiana ...."
Things were just as they thought before. At this time, Kiana had been suffering pain and torture that ordinary people could not imagine.
The Herrscher of the Void wanted to occupy her body all the time.
She kept infecting Kiana's consciousness with illusions, just like she did in Chapters 5 and 6 of the main story.
And the most worrying thing is that this is definitely not the first time something like this has happened.
" Oh, Kiana is so pitiful. How can she sleep peacefully when the Herrscher of Void is causing trouble like this? "
Pardofelis said with a sympathetic look.
" Is it still a question of whether She can sleep peacefully? Kiana's guilt is too strong. "
Elysia sighed and said,
" Obviously those bad things were done by Herrscher of the Void, but Kiana is wondering why she is not dead yet ... It is hard to imagine how much pressure she is carrying in her heart. "
[That is, it is clear that Kiana did nothing wrong. It was Otto and Herrscher of the Void who ruined her life. Now she still feels guilty for their mistakes. This child is too stupid! ]
[Sigh ... Although the truth is this, Kiana is too kind. When she sees those people killed by the Honkai Beast, she will naturally take all the responsibility on herself. After all, no matter what Even though the Herrscher of the Void only used her body to do evil things, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with her at all. ]
[Damnable Herrscher of the Void! Mei, Theresa and the others would not say such things to Kiana! Not even wanting to destroy her! ]
[Where is Fenghuang Down? Fenghuang Down, please help me! ]
As if hearing the shouts of the audience in the live broadcast room, in the game screen, just when Kiana was about to collapse, all the illusions disappeared in an instant.
Fu Hua in the form of Fenghuang Down finally arrived and helped Kiana dispel the bewitchment of the Herrscher of the Void.
The Herrscher of the Void was dismissive of this.
She could feel Kiana's emotions, anger, sadness, and depression.
Her existence grows weaker by the day, and sooner or later the Herrscher of the Void will be able to fully dominate this body.
Then the camera turned and the picture returned to reality, and Kiana opened her eyes from the nightmare darkness.
[ " I had a dream . " ]
[ " This is not a dream, Kiana. You almost lost control just now. " ]
[Fu Hua's shadow appeared next to Kiana, but Kiana remained silent in response to her words, as if she couldn't see her at all. ]
[Fu Hua sighed, " For the past three months, you have been resisting me ... remaining silent, wandering around, refusing to talk to me, treating me as an illusion that does not exist. " ]
Fu Hua can understand Kiana's feelings, but the situation has become increasingly critical. She must warn Kiana that she can no longer be exposed to Honkai energy.
Her strength is also constantly weakening, and it is impossible to take care of Kiana's mental state all the time.
If the Herrscher of the Void is allowed to awaken, then everyone in this entire city will die.
Hearing what Fu Hua said, Elysia and others instantly understood the seriousness of the situation.
Although Teacher Himeko saved Kiana at the cost of her life, she is still in danger. The Herrscher of the Void is staring at her body all the time, and her condition is getting weaker day by day. Fu Hua's power is also declining.
If this continues, it won't be long before Kiana's body is taken over by the Herrscher of the Void again.
And by then, there won't be another Teacher Himeko coming to save her.
That's why Fu Hua kept warning Kiana not to come into contact with Honkai Energy again.
[ " Taking care of? ... It's just monitoring, right? " ]
[Kiana finally couldn't bear it anymore, she looked at Fu Hua angrily and questioned her,]
[ " You have been lurking next to me, observing me, and finally handed me over to Otto. Have you forgotten how you betrayed me! " ]
[ " Why do people who do such things start to care about innocent people?! " ]
[ " ..." Fu Hua was speechless. She indeed did something wrong. ]
[ " Answer me!!! " Kiana cried in collapse! ]
Kiana's voice was mixed with tears, and her trembling voice made countless viewers feel distressed and shed tears.
They had never seen Kiana like this.
In the past, Kiana was a passionate, naive, kind-hearted fool with a sense of justice.
But now Kiana is helpless. While she is bearing the pressure of the Herrscher of the Void, she also has to face the squad leader who ' betrayed ' her.
She has a home that she cannot return to, and she does not dare to go back because she is afraid that she will hurt the people around her again.
Under such circumstances, her mental state will of course become weaker day by day.
[ " Your mission has been completed, right? Now, disappear from my eyes! " ]
Fu Hua shook his head, saying that she had used Fenghuang Down to bind her and Kiana's consciousness together forever, and she could not leave.
[ " Go back, Kiana, and go back to the principal and the others. They are the only ones who can protect you now. " ]
[ " No, no way ..." ]
[A red figure flashed in Kiana's mind for an instant, her expression became frightened, and she shook her head repeatedly. ]
[ " I know it's difficult for you now, but this is the only way ..." ]
[ " Get out of here! Get out of my head! " ]
[ " ...." ]
Looking at Kiana squatting in pain while holding her head, a trace of sadness flashed in Fu Hua's eyes.
If things really get out of hand, she can only make the worst choice ...
[ ' Let the three of us ... die together ' . ]
In Sirin's live broadcast room.
When they saw Fu Hua finally thinking about dying together, everyone was instantly shocked!
[Fuck! Immortal, what do you want to do? ! ]
[No! Kiana is already in such a miserable condition, Fu Hua still wants her to die? ]
[It's really heartbreaking to see Kiana not daring to go to Theresa and the others. ]
[Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. Didn't you hear what Fu Hua said? With Kiana's current mental condition, she can no longer hold on for long. If the Herrscher of the Void really takes over her body by then, everything will be too late. ]
[But in this case, wouldn't Teacher Himeko's sacrifice be in vain! ]
[Don't worry, brothers, Fu Hua said it's the last resort, isn't that time not yet reached? And I don't believe that old thief Su Mu will really kill Kiana, she is the protagonist! It's not that easy to die. ]
Seeing the quarrel among the audience in the live broadcast room, Sirin quickly said,
" Don't worry, everyone, Kiana is the protagonist. Let's not say that the old thief Su Mu will not kill her so easily. Even in the story, Otto will not let her die. He still needs Kiana to complete the task. Whatever his plan is? "
" Oh, it's a pity that Kiana doesn't know that Fu Hua was actually deceived by Otto before he betrayed her. It would be great if she could trust Fu Hua. "
Mei couldn't help but sigh.
" Although this is the truth, Kiana doesn't know that Fu Hua was deceived. "
Sirin said,
" And no matter what, Fu Hua truly betrayed her, and that was also the beginning of Kiana's nightmare. How could she calm down and trust Fu Hua? "
" well ....."
" Damn Su Mu, am I not the protagonist? Why did he make my character so miserable? "
Kiana looked at herself crying in the game screen and said angrily,
" Why is that Bronya character so handsome? She has a transformation and become a motorcycle rider, but when it comes to my turn, I'm bullied by the Herrscher of the Void? "
Thinking of Bronya's angel reconstruction a few days ago, Kiana immediately felt a strong contrast.
" Maybe it's because Bronya is the boss of MiHoYo. "
Sirin said,
" But having said that, aside from the angel reconstruction, Bronya's experience was quite miserable. "
" You idiot second sister, think about the captain and Luna. Su Mu is already being kind to you by not writing you down to that point. "
" Well ...."
Kiana suddenly didn't want to speak.
Indeed, in contrast to, the story of A Midsummer Phantom Night, hers is actually quite good.
But this matter cannot be compared like this!
What she wants to see is the story of her handsomeness saving the world!
Sirin continued the game.
In the game screen, Kiana was walking aimlessly on a remote road, and she thought of many things.
In fact, she knew that there was a monster living in her body.
When she was twelve years old, ' she ' came out once, causing great damage and hurting her father.
Since then, she has been wandering, and it wasn't until she met Mei, Theresa, Himeko ... that she had the idea of staying for the first time.
The flash of neon lights interrupted Kiana's thoughts, and the noisy crowds on the street and the aroma of food awakened her fear.
Like a frightened little animal, she quickly hid in a deserted alley.
Seeing Kiana's inner monologue, the audience was both distressed and angry.
Now for Kiana, even a bite of normal hot food is a luxury.
Obviously she used to like eating the most.
Now she has to avoid crowds and all places that can bring her warmth.
Seeing the familiar Tuna become this ' mature ', how can the players not feel distressed?
And the anger is naturally towards Otto and the Herrscher of the Void.
They hated Otto's inhumane plan, which made Kiana bid farewell to her peaceful daily life forever.
I also hate the Herrscher of the Void, why would she target Kiana like this?
Even if Kiana is just a vessel created to resurrect her, they are still one entity, right?
But the first thing she did when she was resurrected was to kill the people around Kiana.
Comparing it with her and looking at Mei's Herrscher of Thunder personality, one can't help but wonder, are these really Herrschers?
Then, Kiana fell into memories again.
This time, she remembered the time when she and Teacher Himeko first met.
Her first lesson to herself, and her teachings to herself.
It was Himeko who taught her little by little the way to fight and the reasons for fighting.
The audience also learned at this time that Himeko's original dream was to become a scientist, but then her father died and was eroded by Honkai energy and turned into a monster.
In search of answers, she became the Valkyrie.
During the first actual battle, Himeko said seriously to Kiana that the Valkyrie gained powerful combat power due to Honkai Energy, but she also had the risk of losing control and turning into a monster.
[ " If one day, your comrade loses control due to Honkai ... you must end her life without hesitation! " ]
" ... If it is Teacher Himeko who loses control, should we take action? " Kiana asked hesitantly. ]
[ " Even if it's me, you must not hesitate! " ]
[Himeko said seriously, " Trying to protect the life of the out-of-control Valkyrie will only cause more sacrifices. If you don't understand this truth, I will not let you go to the battlefield. " ]
[ " Then if one day, I also ... I mean, if I lose control, then Aunt Himeko, you must ..." ]
[ " I won't let this happen. " ]
[Himeko said decisively, without any hesitation in her tone. ]
[ " As your instructor and captain, I will do my best to protect each of you and prevent you from being in danger. " ]
[ " Hey! What a cunning statement ..." ]
Beautiful memories of the past kept flashing in front of Kiana's eyes, but in the end, they stopped at the picture of Himeko covered in scars and wearing true red armor.
And Kiana's voice became trembling again, as if she was suppressing endless sadness and pain.
[ " You said that if a comrade loses her mind and is controlled by Honkai, she must end her life without hesitation ... But why ... why you ..." ]
The phantom of Himeko appeared in front of Kiana's eyes. She was just like that day. The sword could obviously kill her, but she stuck the sword behind her back.
She gave herself the hope of life, but was she really worth it?
...
" Wow ... Himeko, Himeko, she really kept her promise ..."
Elysia bit her lip and said while sobbing.
" Ahhh! Brother Su Mu, why did you let us see this scene of Teacher Himeko's last lesson again! Woohoo ..."
Compared to Elysia who was sobbing softly, Pardofelis was already in tears, with snot bubbles popping out of her nose.
" This is Kiana's memory, of course there will be this scene. "
Su Mu said matter-of-factly.
" You say it so seriously, but you just want the players to cry, right? "
The Bronya is not in a good mood.
" No, am I that kind of person? "
Of course Su Mu would not admit his " good intentions " .
[Grass! Old thief Su Mu, are you still embarrassed to say this? If you are not such a person, then who else is? ]
[ Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu . ]
[Oh, sure enough, the scene that I least expected to see happened. Kiana clearly remembered the memory of when her body was taken away. No wonder she had such a strong sense of guilt ... After all, she was watching everything. Uncontrollably hurting her companions and killing Teacher Himeko, this really caused too much damage to her. ]
[If it were me, I might not be able to bear the pressure and commit suicide directly. Kiana is really strong ... ]
[Stop the knife, stop the knife, you will be stupid if you knife again! ]
Seeing this memory of Kiana, all the viewers instantly broke through their defenses again.
The beautiful and warm first lesson, the painful and torn last lesson, coupled with the sad BGM , the impact of these sharp contrasts made everyone cry.
It can only be said that this is the basic operation of Mihoyo.
Let me see a beautiful thing for you first, and then tear it into pieces. Otherwise, without the deep bond between Himeko and Kiana, Himeko's death would not seriously break the audience's defenses.
" Himeko is really the best teacher in the world. She treats Kiana like a friend on weekdays, but she did not lack anything she should teach Kiana, and she stuck to her own promise right until the end. in principle ...."
Elysia took out a tissue and wiped her tears.
The cat next to him had already used a lot of tissues, and his eyes were almost swollen from crying. The tissue box that had just been opened seemed to be not enough now.
" Uuuuuu ... Brother Su Mu, do you want me to cry to death? "
Pardofelis said pitifully.
She doesn't like tragic stories because she has rich emotions, but she really can't stand the fun of Honkai Impact III, so even though she knows the story is sad, she still can't help but read it.
When I watched the last lesson last time, she was crying so hard that she was out of breath and almost went into shock.
" Oh, I can't help it. That's the story. But you can drink some water to replenish your fluids so that you don't faint from crying later. "
Su Mu said, and thoughtfully brought Pardofelis a bottle of water.
Pardo looked at the water in his hand, and then at Su Mu's sunny smile, and suddenly felt the urge to splash the water on his face.
" Su Mu, how long are you going to torture Kiana? Can't you be nicer to her? She is also the protagonist after all. "
Elysia couldn't help but said.
" Oh, actually I don't want to be like this, but there is no way. The transformation of a character must have an experience, and now Kiana is on the road to becoming a hero. "
Su Mu spread his hands and said somewhat seriously,
" Bronya was like this before, and Kiana is like this now. "
" In my stories, the protagonist is never the kind of character who can gain success and victory by just taking risks. "
" The reason why heroes are heroes is because they experienced a lot of pain and persisted on their path that ordinary people can't imagine, and finally survived. "
" Watch it carefully. This story will be the starting point for Kiana to complete her transformation for the first time. "
[Made, Su Mu Laoze really knows how to say that he can turn anything black into white. ]
[But I have to say, I felt much better when I heard him say that. ]
[Indeed, the old thief did not torture Kiana for no reason, but all this is the inevitable result of the development of the plot. If Kiana hadn't been so kind, she wouldn't have suffered such painful inner torture. ]
[Speaking of this, I think of the few games I played before that imitated Honkai Impact III. In the stories in those games, the main character's father and mother died. I was expressionless throughout the whole process, and even wanted to laugh a little bit. ]
Although the audience has been scolding Su Mu for being an old thief, they have never felt that there is anything bad about Honkai Impact III's story.
At most, it feels like there are too many knives.
But these knives are not issued directly, there is a deep foreshadowing.
And these foreshadowings also mean the rationality of the story.
Therefore, although the audience will complain that Su Mu is too abusive to Kiana, no one will ever say that there is anything illogical in this development.
Because Kiana had such an experience and such a character, what happened now was inevitable.
And games like those that imitate Honkai Impact III simply imitate the appearance without learning the true essence.
Elysia continues the game.
In the game, Kiana encountered the Honkai Beast again. While she was avoiding the Honkai Beast's attacks in a panic, she also had to endure the constant mental pressure from the Herrscher of the Void in her mind.
[ " Human beings always make the same mistakes. In order to save others, they will sacrifice everything they have. " ]
[The Herrscher of the Void smiled sarcastically, " But she didn't expect that along with her sacrifice, she would leave a wound in your heart that will never heal. " ]
[ " That's why, you can never get rid of me. " ]
[ " Escape? Where can you escape to? " ]
[ " Because, I am you, Kiana! " ]
