Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

Kong quickly grabbed Sikong's clothes.

"What's wrong with Raven? Is she really that kind? She is kind, but surely she wouldn't go to such lengths for a complete stranger? Could it be... that she thinks I'm very talented and wants me to join the World Serpent Organization?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Sikong came up with this idea.

"But how did she know I have a talent? Could it be because of the Honkai energy within me?" Sikong thought for a moment. "I might as well try to reveal a little to her and see how Raven reacts."

"If possible, make her give me a quick death."

"Hmm... to avoid conflict between Raven and Skywarp, I still have to put on an act."

"So tired..."

Sikong sighed and raised his hand, then, from an angle where no one could see him, rolled up his long sleeves to reveal the ugly black scars underneath—scars only found on assassins.

If that thing appears on a normal human being, it means that the person is about to become a suicide soldier.

It might transform in the next second.

Raven's pupils contracted slightly; she never imagined it would end like this.

The raven was completely wrong.

The opponent didn't have any holy marks; they only held on through sheer willpower.

after all......

People with holy marks wouldn't have such unsightly things on their bodies.

"This guy... his body has become like this? He's beyond saving, completely beyond saving. It's a miracle that he can still be rational."

Raven's heart sank slightly. Being infected by Honkai energy like this, the man opposite her must be in great pain.

Although Sikong didn't speak, Raven understood what he meant.

"I see. Little girl, come here with me, I'll protect you."

The raven stretched out its hand, extending an invitation to the sky.

Sikong lowered his long sleeves. He didn't urge Kong to go over, but instead typed out a line of text.

"My brother said... he hopes my older sister can take me away from Changkong City..."

"Leave?" Raven brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry, I can't promise you that. For unknown reasons, I can't leave Changkong City safely with the little girl."

The raven refused.

Chapter Fifteen: The Assassin

"But my older sister just said... she could take my brother away, so why can't I?"

I feel very lost.

Raven didn't bother to hide anything and said directly, "The reason is simple. The normal people still in Changkong City have very high resistance to Honkai energy. There aren't many people like that in the world. Once they appear, it will cause a struggle among various forces. I can't guarantee what will happen then. You might be used as a test subject or something..."

after all......

In the eyes of those important figures.

Even A-rank Valkyries can be experimental subjects.

Not to mention ordinary people who have a high resistance to Honkai energy.

Sora, who has no idea what Honkai energy is, only knows one thing: after she gets out, she might not be better off than she is now; she might even be worse off.

"As for why we were able to take your brother away, although based on his previous behavior, it was impossible for him to cross the government's blockade, as long as he was the person I was looking for, the organization was willing to use resources to secretly take him away." Raven shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately... he is not the person I am looking for."

"What exactly happened to my brother? I...I want to know!"

Kong finally voiced her question. She wasn't stupid; after hearing what Sikong had done behind her back, Raven's tone changed immediately.

Kong's intuition told him that this problem was serious.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sikong tapped Kong on the head.

The raven did not speak.

Sikong was dressed very conservatively, practically armed to the teeth. There was nothing unusual about him from his appearance, except that one could vaguely sense that his skin color was a bit dull.

"He definitely doesn't want the little girl to know that his time is running out."

With that thought in mind, Raven simply looked at the two of them with her red eyes.

Sikong gently patted Kong's back, pushing her forward to let her go. After entrusting the little girl to Raven, he could then head to Thousand Feather Academy with peace of mind.

Kong didn't move forward. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and looked up at Sikong.

"Brother... if... if you don't tell Sora, Sora won't leave. Sora wants to stay with you!"

Kong looked serious. She was clearly just a weak little girl, and just now her mind was full of thoughts about escaping Changkong City.

Now, however, things have changed drastically.

"Stay with me? This is a real headache... I'm glad you have this intention, but I have things I have to do. Oh well, I might as well go with the flow and reveal my true colors."

"It just so happens that Raven killed me. She used a sniper rifle. As long as it's a headshot, it shouldn't hurt too much."

"I didn't want to scare Kong, but it seems I have no choice but to."

Sikong typed a few words on his phone.

[Hurry... I can't go on...]

When Sikong typed this line out to Kong, he hesitated. He was afraid that dying at the hands of the raven would traumatize the little girl and create a rift between them.

but......

Now is the perfect opportunity to seize the moment.

Everything was laid out. As long as Sikong was killed by Raven, he could obtain the other party's power within an hour. Then he could drive directly to Qianyu Academy to assassinate the pseudo-Herrscher and seize the other party's power.

But has the pseudo-Herrscher been born yet?

In the original storyline.

The pseudo-Herrscher appears several days after the main characters leave Changkong City.

After losing the Third Herrscher—Raiden Mei—Changkong City still had a large amount of Honkai energy remaining. With nowhere to go, it began to give rise to pseudo-Herrschers.

This process begins when Raiden Mei's original consciousness is awakened by Kiana.

It all started when Raiden Mei left Changkong City.

No one can explain it clearly.

Sikong could only go to Qianyu Academy in person to see for himself.

Even if she were lucky enough to encounter a pseudo-Herrscher in the past, she would only be in a newly born, or rather, in a form that had not yet been fully born.

If it's newly born.

Yuno's strength should have reached the level of an A-rank Valkyrie.

If it hadn't been fully born, it would probably only have the power level of a B-rank Valkyrie, and might not even have had the core of a pseudo-Herrscher yet.

Without a pseudo-core, Yuno cannot be considered a pseudo-hero.

Raven is very powerful, comparable to an S-rank Valkyrie, and even a Judgment-class Honkai Beast is no match for her.

As a cadre of the World Snake.

Raven is no shameful S-class Valkyrie.

Once you obtain the opponent's form, dealing with the pseudo-Herrscher is no problem at all. Even if Sikong has little combat experience, he can still crush the opponent with his strength advantage.

Kong slowly typed out a question mark.

Sikong took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of completely black eyes, with only the pupils being red.

"Brother Sikong...?"

Startled, Kong took a step back, her small hand covering her wildly beating heart. Her petite body trembled slightly, as if it were on vibrate mode.

How familiar this scene is.

Sora's parents also turned into monsters in the same way, and finally roared as they attacked her. After seeing this, many of the wounds on her body began to ache.

"This is... becoming a suicide soldier. Has he finally given up?"

The raven sighed inwardly.

As a World Serpent executive who frequently travels to Honkai outbreak sites, she has seen many people corrupted by Honkai and eventually become suicide warriors. Once they become suicide warriors, they will turn into bloodthirsty monsters.

Raven subconsciously raised the third divine key in his hand—the Seven Thunders of Purification.

The gun barrel, gleaming white, was pointed at Sikong's head. If he were to extend his evil hand into the air, she would pull the trigger.

Kong seemed stunned.

Until Sikong roared, "Go!"

If the little girl doesn't leave soon, he won't be able to continue acting.

Kong finally understood that Sikong was not unable to speak, but rather that he had a physical problem that prevented him from speaking normally. He was probably dressed like this to cover up his physical abnormality.

"Waaah..."

He ran towards the raven, crying.

Sikong slowly spread his hands, forming a large character that faced the raven.

"Pull the trigger."

Sikong thought to himself.

"Being infected by the Honkai and gradually eroding your body must be very painful. Let me help you find relief."

Seeing Sikong make this gesture, Raven understood what he meant.

Currently, the simplest way to eradicate this Honkai infection is to transplant artificial Stigmata, using the power of the Stigmata to resist Honkai erosion and prevent the transformation into undead.

But......

Stigmata are such precious items that even most of the Valkyries who fight against the Honkai don't have them. How could an ordinary person possibly be qualified to obtain them?

Moreover, the enemy has already become so ruthless that even transplanting artificial stigmata wouldn't save them.
