Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Kiana washed her hands and sat down at the table. She picked up some fries, dipped them in ketchup, and popped them into her mouth.

It must have been really delicious, because Kiana had a happy smile on her face.

A beautiful young woman was sitting at the dining table eating delicious fries, while a man was busily preparing dinner in the kitchen. The whole room was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea—these are the essence of life.

Chapter 30: The Break

"My Lord, we have found traces of the Second Herrscher."

The gray snake spoke to the white-haired man sitting in the superior position.

The white-haired man exuded a cold aura. He looked at the man and girl in the picture and said, "Hmm, I understand. Let the raven and the jackal move."

"Ok."

After the gray snake left, Kevin looked at Cheng Xing in the screen, whose information showed nothing unusual, and asked himself with some doubt, "Why do I feel like I've seen him before?"

"It might just be my imagination."

Cheng Xing tidied up the mess on the table. He looked at the dishes that had been eaten clean, and then at the bitter melon that had been cut in half.

"So it really has already started?"

Cheng Xing put the plate into the sink and began washing the dishes carefully, saying as he did so.

"The Sky Ranger storyline is about to begin... The World Serpent must have seen me visiting around with Kiana today, and they'll be here soon."

"Kiana hasn't yet used her Herrscher powers with Fu Hua's help. If the snake comes knocking, she'll be in danger. We can't let her stay here any longer."

Cheng Xing washed the dishes expressionlessly, then dried his hands and took out a box of sleeping pills from the cabinet.

He took a cake out of the refrigerator, crushed a sleeping pill into powder and sprinkled it on the cake, then smiled and knocked on the door with the cake in his hand.

Kiana quickly opened the door. She wasn't ready to go to sleep yet, and was somewhat surprised to see Cheng Xing holding a cake.

"Have some cake, Kiana."

Cheng Xing smiled.

Kiana didn't think much of it, accepted the cake, thanked them happily with a smile, and then ate it.

"What's wrong? Suddenly feeling sleepy?"

Kiana asked, puzzled.

"Kiana! There are sleeping pills in the cake!"

The squad leader's voice rang out.

"Ugh?"

Kiana was somewhat incredulous. In order to find out Cheng Xing's purpose, she pretended to know nothing, yawned, and went back to her room to sleep.

In reality, the Valkyrie, whose physical abilities were already superhuman and who possessed Honkai energy within her, could not be drugged by a single sleeping pill. She simply wanted to see what Cheng Xing was up to.

Cheng Xing first went to the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and tried hard to put on a lewd and disgusting smile, but for some reason, he couldn't smile.

His eyes were a little red.

About an hour later, Cheng Xing finally showed the expression he wanted, and then he quietly pushed open the door to Kiana's room.

"Hehehe! So you've completely let your guard down after all? I've wasted so much time preparing for this day!"

Cheng Xing laughed wildly, his laughter so loud it resembled that of a criminal who had succeeded in his scheme.

"Let me have a good taste of this little girl's body! Pfft!!!"

Before Cheng Xing could even touch Kiana, she kicked him away. He looked at the girl with tears in her eyes, who was looking at him with extreme disappointment.

Distressed.

"Was everything before a lie?"

Kiana's voice trembled.

"Kiana... Kiana, this is a misunderstanding. I... I was just momentarily blinded by greed... Please... please forgive me for what I did before!"

Cheng Xing trembled with fear and pain, his expression filled with terror and dread.

"...Okay, we're even now."

Kiana has left.

Cheng Xing watched as the girl leaped directly off the balcony. He lay on the floor, hugging himself, feeling nauseous from the powerful kick.

"In this way, she finally understands that there is no such thing as pure good or evil in the world. This is my last lesson, Kiana. I'm sorry for choosing such an extreme method... but only in this way will the snake not harm you when it uses the trap I set."

Cheng Xing knew his time was running out. He knew when he chose to help Kiana that he would inevitably be watched by the snake, and that he... could not survive.

Even if Kiana is willing to risk her life to protect him, he is just an ordinary person without Honkai resistance. If Honkai energy appears around him, he will surely die.

He didn't want to be a burden.

So, it's best to make her hate you. Only in this way will you not become Kiana's weakness, and Kiana can also roam the city and continue to grow.

He had only lent a little help before Fu Hua arrived, and now that Fu Hua was here, his presence was no longer necessary.

"Cough cough! My bone is broken."

Cheng Xing lay sprawled on the ground, utterly devastated. He had never experienced the pain of a broken bone before; this was the first time he had ever felt such agony. He regretted doing it; he was most afraid of pain.

My body is so cold, my body heat is being absorbed by the floor, I have to get up... but it really hurts! I can't get up.

Cheng Xing felt a lump in her throat, and tears finally streamed down her face.

"It hurts so much! Dad, Mom... It's been three years, I've been away from home for three years!"

Three years have passed. He doesn't know how his parents are doing. Has his father started smoking again because of his disappearance? Does his mother miss him day and night because of his disappearance? Three years have passed. What about his friends?

I don't know, I don't know anything.

"I miss the creaking door at home, the bland food, the smell of cooking oil, Dad's nagging, Mom's loud voice, I miss..."

Cheng Xing lost consciousness. On the cold floor, he curled up, his face covered in snot and tears, like a child.

The moonlight couldn't penetrate the dim room. A dark figure appeared beside Cheng Xing. After looking at Cheng Xing lying on the ground and confirming that he was still alive, the person spoke.

"Jackal, the Second Herrscher has left, and the ordinary man who took her in had three ribs broken. Now, what do we do?"

"Ha! Anyone who dares to take in a Herrscher is truly courting death. Raven, bring him back; he might come in handy."

"It's a pity we arrived too late, otherwise we could have found some traces."

"Don't worry, this guy might be a trap to lure that scurrying rat into our inescapable net."

Raven carried the unconscious Cheng Xing on the ground and left.

Tonight, not a single star can be seen in the night sky. Even the moon is partially missing.

What a deep and dark night it is.

Chapter Thirty-One: Dead Like Mud

After Cheng Xing was taken away that day, he underwent a series of tests. When Jackal concluded that this guy was impossible to complete human experiments and had no resistance to Honkai energy whatsoever, he had already lost his value.

"Ugh, seriously, we were planning to use him as bait to lure the Herrscher of the Void into a trap, but this guy actually did something like this! It's utterly incomprehensible!"

"The jackal said with some resentment."

"Moreover, this guy doesn't have even the slightest resistance to Honkai energy, so it's impossible to use him for experiments. Even if you wanted to turn him into a human bomb to suppress Honkai energy, you couldn't do it. He's just a useless piece of trash."

"So what do we do with him now?"

Raven leaned against the wall, listlessly tossing the throwing knife in its hand.

"Let's just throw him out. I feel like killing him would already dirty my hands. He wouldn't even be enough to feed a monster. Let's just throw him out and let him fend for himself. Anyway, once the Stigmata Project starts, he'll be naturally eliminated."

Cheng Xing was simply thrown out of the base. He looked at the light drizzle falling from the sky and then walked slowly down the damp street.

He arrived at his rented house, only to find that it had been occupied for some time and had not been rented, meaning it had become someone else's home.

When I was taken away, all my personal belongings were at home, and I'm afraid I can't get them back now.

Suddenly, he found himself completely homeless and alone.

Do I regret it? Maybe.

Cheng Xing walked on the deserted street. Although the rain had stopped, his clothes were already soaked through and stuck to his body, making him very uncomfortable.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, and his body temperature was dropping rapidly as his clothes, which were already wet, were being caressed by the breeze.

But that doesn't matter.

Cheng Xing has no regrets. All that's left to do is find out his own ending.

Kiana stood in the dimly lit alley. She had already handed over the information she had gathered about Shenzhou Pharmaceutical over the past few days. All that was left was to wait for the first conflict to occur in the Tianmu Shadow World Serpent, and then she could fish in troubled waters.

But just then, someone she didn't want to see suddenly came into her view.

The man looked very disheveled; his clothes were soaked through, and he appeared to have some injuries.

It's like I'm the same as I was before.

Cheng Xing moved forward calmly. He had already learned from the alarm broadcast that a collapse had occurred nearby and that he was about to face the end of his life.

Kiana frowned as she looked in the direction Cheng Xing was heading; there seemed to be several Honkai Beasts there.

"Kiana, a conflict has broken out at Shenzhou Pharmaceuticals. Rita's Undying Blade team is already inside, and the situation may not be good."

Just then, I heard the class monitor's voice in my ear.

Kiana glanced at the guy who was moving forward, then at Shenzhou Pharmaceuticals, which was crucial to the lives of the entire city, and finally ran towards Shenzhou Pharmaceuticals without any hesitation.

Cheng Xing seemed to hear the sound of running. When he turned to look at the TV, he could only see a white figure moving further and further away from him.

He laughed, a laugh tinged with despair.

Cheng Xing arrived at the site of the Honkai phenomenon and looked at the Honkai beasts that were eyeing him menacingly. His body began to tremble slightly at the thought of what was about to happen.

"Death, for the first time I feel so afraid. When I had an attack before, I always thought that death wasn't that scary, but now that I've actually faced it, I'm trembling with fear."

Cheng Xing was reminiscing about some things from the past, but the Honkai Beast wouldn't give him that much time to think. Before he could even remember when he had his attack, an iron hoof that kept growing larger in front of him was falling from the sky.
