The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"I was in such a rush that I didn't even notice. Why did I have this thought in my mind?"

Carol stared at Kiana, gradually realizing that Kiana might have an inseparable connection with the Herrschers, just like Bronya and Captain Mei. Perhaps she herself was even a Herrscher?

Realizing this, the powerful and courageous new generation of female warriors couldn't help but feel relieved that she hadn't been hurt.

You have to know that Herrschers are extremely terrifying; even your own mother has to be extremely careful.

Moreover, this is a Herrscher who can fight against Bronya. Could it be a Honkai being trapped on the moon and sent here to seek revenge?

No, no, didn't she claim to be her best friend?

Carol stared at Kiana, trying hard to discern whether the white-haired girl's words contained any lies.

However, anyone who is feeling guilty should have shown their true colors when she looks at them like that.

But Kiana didn't react at all, appearing so natural and harmonious. Moreover, the way Kiana looked at him didn't seem like that of a stranger with ulterior motives, but rather like that of a senior who would silently stand behind him and support him.

Could it be that she was right?

Carol thought for a moment, then finally scratched her head and slowly said to Bronya, "Senior Bronya, this..."

"My name is Kiana."

"Oh, Kiana-senpai, right? Um... nice to meet you. My name is Carol. I'm a member of the third squad. By the way, were you just... sparring?"

Kiana could only manage a wry smile in response to Carol's question. Now that everyone had been inexplicably drawn into a strange world, who had the leisure to spar?

The reason why a battle had to be fought was due to an unexpected incident.

After all, just now...

"It wasn't a friendly spar." Bronya rubbed her forehead, seemingly still a little dazed from the fight just now. "I just..."

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Kiana immediately put her arm around her shoulder with concern and whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry, I'm here. It's alright now..."

"Kiana, I think I just... saw you again." Bronya closed her eyes, still shaken.

It's hard to imagine what kind of horrific scene this captain must have witnessed to elicit such an expression.

Of course, what puzzled Kiana the most was what she said...

You saw me again?

Uh, what do you mean? Wasn't I just playing against you?

Normally, if Kiana encounters something strange like this, she would think that the person has mental problems.

However, if this object is limited to Bronya...

Kiana released Bronya, then cupped her face in her hands and looked at her with concern in her eyes.

Perhaps the reason she couldn't control herself was because she witnessed a hallucination about herself?

"So... what am I like?"

Bronya slowly opened her eyes upon hearing this.

"The End on the Throne".

"Huh?" Kiana was speechless for a moment.

Just as she was wondering and trying to figure everything out...

"Alright, alright. Now that we've run into the brats from the third team, shouldn't we figure out a way to get out of here?"

Little Sirin's words always rang out so unexpectedly, yet so precisely and timely. She floated smugly over everyone present, finally landing on her master's shoulder.

"You and she made such a commotion just now, the other team members should be coming over by now, right?"

No sooner had the words been spoken than the distant sound of footsteps and the faint creaking of ice skates gliding across the ground could be heard.

Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned around. When they saw Lyle and Timido's voices appear before them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although everyone is still trapped in this strange space, at least everyone is gathered together.

"What luck! I thought I'd encounter some terrifying monsters here, but it seems like this place isn't that dangerous, except for looking a bit strange."

Lyle chuckled, seemingly unaware of any danger in the current situation.

Of course, he might have said that to ease the tension.

Unfortunately, after one battle, Bronya's vigilance had been aroused.

She crossed her arms and frowned slightly, indicating:

"Lyle, be on your guard."

"Uh, I was just trying to lighten the mood. Okay, never mind. Haha..."

"Alright. Let's think about how to get out of here, shall we?" Kiana clapped her hands and picked up the conversation when she saw the topic had gone off track.

She looked around and felt that the longer she stayed in this kind of place, the greater the chance of something going wrong.

So it's best to leave quickly...

However, leaving this place will definitely not be easy, right?

Kiana stroked her smooth chin, sensing that things were getting tricky. But even the most difficult problems needed a solution; waiting idly would only make things worse.

So, after careful consideration, she finally turned her attention to a little guy who seemed to be omnipotent.

"What? You want me to give you a hint?"

"No."

"That's good." Xilin crossed her arms and arrogantly raised her chin, displaying a rather smug air.

"I hope you can take us out directly, is that possible?"

Upon hearing this, Xilin was completely dumbfounded.

Oh, I see? You should have said so earlier. Anyway, I can't do it~

"Don't force me to do anything; I can't possibly send you all out. But... I can still offer some advice."

As he spoke, the little guy pointed to the crack that had brought them here.

Strangely enough, despite being a seemingly intangible rift, it didn't disappear immediately after fulfilling its teleportation function. Instead, it remained silently like a door, leaving one wondering what would happen if one were to pass through it.

"What kind of suggestion is it?" Kiana stared at Sirin and asked slowly, "Can I go back after sending it?"

"Of course. If you want to leave a room, are you going to climb out the window instead of using the main door?"

"Your analogy...I don't know if it's vivid and descriptive."

Kiana glanced at the little guy, then turned her gaze to the crack known as the door.

“Bronya, let’s go. And…Carol, right? I have some questions for you about Mei…I hope you can tell me after we leave here.”

"Ah? Sure, Kiana-senpai. I think the captain won't mind, um... I think."

Why is everyone different now? (Honkai Impact 3rd): Chapter 45 Mei is healed?

Seeing her juniors so obedient, Kiana smiled with satisfaction, then waved for everyone to cross the rift gate. Unsure of the dangers on the other side, she didn't lead the way, but instead stepped inside herself.

However, as the figure gradually disappeared into the rift, Kiana gradually realized that Sirin might not have really lied to her.

This strange crack really does look like a door.

She passed through and returned to the outside world. And the place she found herself in was none other than the control room where she had initially been?

"Am I remembering this wrong, or has the order of space been disrupted?"

Kiana looked around, her gaze finally settling on the control panel enveloped in red crystals. Seeing this familiar object, Kiana finally confirmed that she had indeed returned to her original location.

However, it was in the same spot before he fully recognized Bronya... Should this be considered a spatial displacement, or is it driven by some kind of force?

In short, it seems quite safe at first glance, right?

Kiana stretched and then turned her head. At that moment, Bronya and the others had already emerged from the door, with Bronya leading the way. She looked around, gun in hand, before finally fixing her gaze on the control panel encased in red crystals.

Upon seeing such a strange object, she quickly came to her senses and was somewhat surprised.

Why here?

Although her memory was somewhat hazy for some reason, she at least remembered that they weren't here before entering that strange space.

It's really strange that a misalignment was found in the perfectly normal spatial position?

However, since it is not a passage that actually exists in the real world, it naturally cannot follow the rules of the real world.

It's not surprising that such spatial misalignment would occur.

With that thought, Bronya felt relieved.

"What should we do next, Bronya?" Just as she sighed, pondering whether she needed to immediately unseal the control room, Kiana's question came from the side. Hearing this, she slowly turned around. "We..."

However, just as Bronya, as the captain, was about to give the order.

Suddenly, Xilin turned her head and called out to everyone.

Her sudden interruption was, frankly, quite surprising.

Everyone turned to look at the young man, wondering why she had interrupted.

"I've received intelligence from Destiny Headquarters. I have good news and bad news for you. Which do you want to hear?"

Upon hearing her question, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kiana stroked her chin, about to say, "Then let's start with the good news?" when Bronya reached out and blocked her chest. Bronya haughtily raised her head and glanced at little Sirin, her wariness and rejection evident in her eyes.

"Perhaps we don't need you to tell us."

"Oh, really? Okay then." Despite being glared at, Celine wasn't disappointed. She crossed her arms, tilted her head back, and looked so smug that you couldn't help but want to pinch her little nose.

Of course, this was Kiana. In fact, Bronya's biggest wish was to take care of this strange little thing with a few shots, and if she hadn't been afraid of upsetting Kiana, she probably would have done so not long ago.

For now... we can only put up with her for the time being.

Bronya sighed inwardly, then turned her gaze to the on-site combat communication equipment.

As the communications progressed, she quickly realized what good and bad news Celine had mentioned.

To be honest, her first reaction upon hearing the news was surprise. This was followed by a surge of joy, and then deep worry.
