Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

Perhaps because of the captain's arrival, the dinner lasted longer than usual. Everyone talked and laughed for a long time before gradually leaving the living room.

After dinner, the captain explained the principles and methods of removing bone spurs to Mei Yi in detail as promised, and taught her some basic skills. Mei Yi seemed to enjoy it and listened carefully to the captain's explanation.

"Mei Yi, you have a high level of understanding and may be suitable for learning this."

"Thank you, Captain, but it's still a little difficult."

"It's okay, just practice more and you'll be fine."

"Ah."

The two were sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking about what had just happened. Kiana, who had just finished taking a bath and put on pajamas, came out of the room. Seeing the opportunity, she fell to the sofa, jumped on Mei Yi and made a fuss, but after a while she Fell asleep "snortingly"...

"..." Looking at Kiana, who was sleeping soundly on Mei's lap, the captain couldn't help but marvel at how efficiently and quickly she fell asleep.

He looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to leave, so he whispered: "It's time for me to go back, Mei Yi."

"Huh? But it's still early... Captain, it's hard to come here again..."

"Then, if I have the chance, I'll come and visit you more often?"

The captain stood up and said something half-jokingly. Mei wanted to stand up, but Kiana was sleeping soundly, and Mei couldn't bear to wake her up...

"Captain, please wait, let me see you off, I will take Kiana back to the room first."

"No need, Mei. It's almost the exam day, so you should have a good rest."

"But…"

Just when Mei Yi was struggling, Fu Hua happened to come out of the room. Mei Yi seemed to have found a solution, so she asked the squad leader to help her send the captain off. Fu Hua, who originally wanted to go out for some air, readily agreed.

After saying goodbye to Mei, the captain left the dormitory accompanied by Fu Hua, and the two of them strolled through the academy at night.

On the way, the two didn't talk much, they just shared with each other the tranquility that can only be felt in the academy at night. Perhaps this has become a tacit understanding unique to them.

When he reached the steps not far from the Valkyrie's dormitory, the captain stopped and broke the silence: "Just come here, Fu Hua."

"I understand, so please be safe on the road, Captain."

Facing Fu Hua's concern, the captain responded with a gentle expression: "Well, then..."

However, just as the captain was about to turn around and walk down the steps, Fu Hua suddenly stopped him: "Wait, captain."

"what happened?"

"Is it up to you to explain this? Do you really just want to leave like this?"

"Sure enough...did you find out too?"

The captain hesitated and turned around. His expression became slightly serious, but his dark eyes still revealed a gentleness that could make people feel reassured.

"Aren't you going to tell me? Captain."

"Sorry, I just didn't want you to worry."

As the captain spoke, he pulled out the crystal pendant that had been worn around his neck from his collar. The prismatic crystal wrapped in a metal frame was constantly emitting a strange purple light.

Fu Hua looked at the still glowing crystal in the captain's hand with a slightly surprised expression: "It's so strange that the "Key of God" would react like this. "

"God's Key", full name: Herrscher core-driven anti-Honkai God-killing armor, was developed by humans in the last civilization era, that is, years ago, using the "Herrscher Core" that defeated the Herrschers. Divine weapons, each "Divine Key" has incomparable power and power compared to any other weapon.

Although the last era of civilization has been completely destroyed by "Honkai", before the destruction, the people of the previous generation still left some "tinders" of hope for the next generation of human civilization. The "Key of God" is here Among them, the "hanging ornament" in the captain's hand is one of them.

"Hmm... "Yu Duchen" detected an abnormal fluctuation frequency. Is this the reason? "

The "Yu Duchen" mentioned by Fu Hua is actually one of the "God Keys" created in the last civilization era: it has the power to manipulate brain signals and control consciousness and thoughts. This is the first Yagami's key: "Feather Dust".

"The reason is unclear, but..."

"but?"

The captain was silent for a while, and finally said: "Sixteen years ago, a similar phenomenon also occurred."

"..."

The two fell into a long silence for a while. 16 years ago, in 2000, if they talked about any major events that happened that year, it would be nothing more than the outbreak of the "Second Collapse" and the "Second Collapse". The arrival of the "Two Herrsters"...

There is no doubt that it was a disaster worthy of being recorded in the annals of human history. The "Second Collapse" event was even included as an example in the textbooks used by the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy.

"How do you want to deal with it?" Fu Hua paid attention to the expression of the young man in front of him, waiting for his answer.

"If you refer to the situation at that time, there should be something that resonated with the "Key of God". "

"Are you going to find it?"

"The target is unknown and the scope is uncertain. To be honest...it's difficult no matter how you think about it, right?"

"...Indeed." Fu Hua nodded, but she actually already had some ideas as she had been thinking about countermeasures just now.

"I have a method. Although I'm not sure it will work, at least I can figure out whether the source of the resonance is a living thing or something else. This way I can at least narrow down the scope of the search."

The captain naturally knew what Fu Hua said, so he asked: "Do you want to use "Feather to Cross the Dust"?"

"Yes, but..."

"Are you just going to use it on me?"

"..."

Seeing that the captain had seen through his thoughts, Fu Hua no longer hesitated: "Only you can use this "Key of God". If I use "Yu Duchen" to guide your consciousness, maybe you can pass "Key of God" finds the source of resonance. "

"Um…"

After saying this, Fu Hua then expressed his concerns: "However, I can only guide your consciousness to connect with the "Key of God". If you encounter any situation, I will not only I can't help you, I don't even know what happened. "

"In other words, will I have to make my own judgment then?"

"Yes, of course, you can also choose to refuse."

The captain stared at the "crystal" lying in his hand, thinking quickly in his mind. After a while, he gave his own answer: "Then do as you say."
