Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The captain opened his eyes suddenly and sat up from the bed. He was gasping for air, and his breath became a little disordered. After a few seconds, the captain regained consciousness and began to adjust his breathing to calm down. A gentle hand caressed his shoulders from behind. He quickly looked around, seeing the familiar furnishings and environment. This was his own room.

"Captain, are you okay?"

The owner of the hands asked with concern. The captain looked back and saw a beautiful woman sitting behind him, patting his back gently with her hands, and looking at him tenderly with burgundy eyes.

"Rita?"

"Rita is here. Don't worry, Captain. This is your room."

"Yeah…"

The captain looked at the clock on the table. It was almost 5 o'clock in the morning. He obviously didn't stay in the illusion for too long...

"The Captain didn't come back last night, and didn't even reply to messages. Rita was a little worried and went out to look for you. Later, Rita received a message from Miss Fu Hua on the Captain's mobile phone, and Rita picked you up. return."

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"It will take about 6 hours from the time Rita picks you up."

"You won't stay here all the time, right?"

Having said this, Rita looked a little proud.

"Don't worry, Captain. Responding to your master's call at any time is the basic quality of a maid. Moreover, Rita has had a good rest."

"..."

With that said, the maid came forward and asked curiously: "So, Captain, can you tell Rita what happened?"

"Didn't Fu Hua tell you?"

"Miss Fu Hua said you are just a little tired."

"Um…"

"She also asked me to tell the captain that you should go to the training ground to find her tomorrow."

"I understand, thank you, Rita."

The captain didn't want Rita to know what happened in the fantasy. He asked Rita to pour him a glass of water. Rita agreed with a smile. When Rita walked away, he took out the "crystal" around his neck and took a look. The strange light in the "Key of God" has dissipated, only revealing the same faint light as usual.

"That voice, could it be that..."

After a while, Rita came back carefully holding the cup. The captain put away the crystal and took the cup from Rita's hand. A faint fragrance that can only be smelled on country roads overflowed from the cup. Some processed albizia was placed in it. flower.

"What's wrong? Doesn't the captain like it?"

The captain shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I just feel like Rita has put a lot of effort into it."

The captain took a few sips and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Rita, you should go back and rest quickly. I'll be fine."

"I understand. Then, if you need any help, Rita will rush to you as soon as possible. Please don't forget it."

"OK, good night."

"Good night, Captain."

Rita bowed slightly to the captain and left the room. The captain got out of bed and sat on the office chair, turned on the computer and looked through the relevant records about the "Second Collapse" in the database. However, there was nothing noteworthy, but even if there were, it might not be easy to check. Arrived.

"The Second Honkai Impact, Kiana, and...that voice, huh..."

The captain sighed and turned to look out the window. Although there were countless stars twinkling in the dark night sky, dawn had not yet arrived.

In the morning, Rita put on her maid uniform and went to the captain's room to prepare breakfast for him, but found that the captain was gone.

When she was a little disappointed, Rita saw another label on the captain's desk. She picked up the label and it read: "I'm going to the academy. I cooked porridge for breakfast and put it in the small box. It’s the kitchen.”

The maid's lips parted slightly, and then she laughed softly: "You really haven't changed at all."

At the same time, the captain who left early has arrived at the Valkyrie training ground in the academy. Usually no one is training at the training ground at this time, except for a certain person. If anyone passes by the training ground in this early morning and hears sounds inside, it must be Fu Hua practicing.

The captain pushed the door open and entered. There was only one person in the huge training ground, hitting the sandbags back and forth. Her movements were clean and neat, and every move was fast and powerful. Practicing here in the morning was Fu Hua's daily routine, and, This is the only time where you won't be disturbed by others.

"what!"

At the same time she noticed someone coming in, Fu Hua punched the hanging sandbag again. With a dull falling sound, the rope on the sandbag was torn off, and a sandbag about the same size as her also fell to the floor. .

"You're here? How are you feeling?"

Fu Hua said as he effortlessly picked up the sandbag on the ground and tied the rope up again.

"I think it's okay." The captain handed Fu Hua a bottle of water, but Fu Hua didn't take it in a hurry. She turned around and looked at the captain, and then took off her glasses.

"Ho!" Fu Hua punched the captain with his right hand, hitting the captain's face directly. The captain was surprised and subconsciously tilted his head, and the punch passed through his face. Although the punch missed, the captain still He could feel the powerful force passing through him along with that punch.

"Well, it seems like you haven't regressed, so let's compare, Captain."

"???"

The captain was a little confused, but the girl who was slightly shorter than him had no intention of letting him go. She was serious.

"Let's spar. I can help you get your training sword."

Seemingly unable to escape, the captain simply put the water aside and then replied: "No, that's it."

"Oh? Aren't you very good at using weapons?"

"But I just learned a little bit, and... it's just a competition, come on."

"Then, please enlighten me."

The two of them each took a few steps back. Fu Hua squatted down slightly to stabilize her lower body. She put a fist on her waist with one hand and faced the front with the other hand. Her index and middle fingers were half clasped together. This was obviously her usual Cun Xin Fist start, while the captain He just stood there with all his concentration, waiting for Fu Hua's attack...
