Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

...............

The moment Klein regained consciousness was the moment she plunged the knife into Möbius's chest.

She watched as Mebius fell to the ground, and her mind cleared instantly, as if struck by lightning.

"Bo...?!"

Klein immediately knelt down and pressed his hand against Möbius's wound.

"A Doctor?! A Doctor!!!"

"ah……?!"

Klein felt a voice in her head, which gave her a splitting headache.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Don't even think about making me hurt the Doctor! Don't even think about it! Shut up!"

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Klein, groaning from a severe headache, stumbled and, relying on his hazy memory, retrieved a first-aid kit from the cabinet...

"Doctor... Cangxuan?! Danzhu?! Where are you... where are you..."

Because his nerves were straining his vision, Klein could only distinguish Cangxuan and Danzhu from the two figures lying on the ground in front of him.

Klein wanted to cry. She didn't know what had happened. She seemed to have lost her mind. When she woke up, she saw the seriously injured doctor and the pain that followed.

"Bandage...bandage..."

Klein broke out in a cold sweat, but after stopping Mebius's bleeding, she didn't rush to the next step.

"Klein, remember, thinking is the foundation of human evolution. Never stop thinking, not until you stop breathing."

Mebius's words brought Klein to her senses for a moment. She put her hand in her mouth and bit down hard.

Think, think, think, think, think...

Don't stop!

"I……"

Klein suddenly realized,

"I've become a Herrscher?! Huh?! Doctor..."

Klein barely suppressed his inner impulse and looked at Möbius, who was groaning. She was calling his name, and Klein heard her clearly.

“Shesa…”

Klein reached out and hugged Mebius. Ironically, he had personally plunged the knife into her chest, yet he felt that this was the only way to protect her.

"Shesa... Shesa..."

To keep himself thinking during his severe headache, Klein repeated the word over and over.

"Shesa... Doctor Shesa... Doctor, there's still hope..."

Through reflection, Klein came to a conclusion: in his desperate situation, he realized the only truth.

"Klein, Klein, Klein..."

In his hazy state of consciousness, Möbius called out Klein's name, which gradually lessened the pain in Klein's mind.

She held Mebius tightly, as if she could gain power from it; as long as she stayed by her doctor's side, Klein had nothing to fear.

As long as I'm with the doctor, I have nothing to be afraid of.

Great……

As Klein pondered the matter, this sentence came to mind.

The doctor won't die...

Danzhu and Cangxuan will not die either...

Only... died.

only……

…………

When Melutina arrived, the mist created by Klein's power had already dissipated.

She rushed into the familiar laboratory and saw the figure about to be swallowed by green...

Is she embracing death, or embracing Möbius?

In that instant, Melutina was certain that she had made eye contact with that person, albeit for only a brief moment, but Melutina felt she had heard—

Be strong, Melutina.

no doubt.

Chapter 80 Special Episode: Durandal

"La...la...la la la..."

"Ms. Linna, has anyone ever told you that your singing is terrible?"

"Hey Bianca, how can you talk to your teacher like that? I'll give you extra homework if you do!"

"Well……"

In a well-known European city, a young woman and a blonde little girl sit at an outdoor café on the street.

"You look so reluctant. Are you bothered that I'm from Anti-Entropy?"

Linna asked, resting her chin on her hand.

“I don’t mind. Dr. Schrödinger mentioned you to me. Besides, in a way, we, Fate, are more like the villains.”

Bianca shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and asked,

"But what can I learn from you? You're a famous scientist, do you expect me to learn biology from you?"

"Haha, I thought you were thinking something else, that's just a childish idea."

Linna shook her head with a smile.

"I'm not a child anymore! I'm an A-rank Valkyrie!"

Bianca said angrily.

"It's good to be a child, Bianca. Take advantage of your youth and be as affectionate as you can. Who knows, one day, the people you can be affectionate with won't be around anymore."

Linnaeus nodded her head.

"Parting is always hasty. You think you've lost Ragnar because you're just a child and can't change anything."

But when you become an adult, you'll understand that it has nothing to do with whether you're an adult or a child; things you can't change always leave you feeling helpless.

"Then what's the point of me becoming stronger? If I still can't achieve anything in the end, then what's the point of becoming stronger at all!"

Bianca shook her head.

"Yes, I have."

Linnaeus smiled slightly.

"If you are powerful enough, you will have the opportunity to choose."

"Choice... of opportunity?"

"When you are not strong enough, others will choose for you; when you are strong enough, you will choose for others."

Linnaeus pushed the sandwich the waiter offered to Bianca.

"If your partner is strong enough, you can switch partners."

"This...isn't this just like a child's behavior?"

Bianca was dumbfounded.

"Does this sound like a joke? But choosing this kind of thing means you have to bear the consequences. If you are strong enough, you can help others bear the consequences. The stronger you are, the more you bear, and the more you save."

Linna smiled at Bianca's dazed expression.

"This is what people call a 'hero,' and your ideal is roughly the same."

"..."

Bianca picked up the sandwich in front of her, took a bite, and didn't say a word.

She thought for a long time, then said sullenly:

"What you said makes some sense, but it sounds so cruel."

"Because being a hero is not an easy job. Humans fight for good, but they also die because of good."

Linna rested her chin on her hand and smiled.

"Didn't you just go on a trip recently? Shigure Kira, didn't she tell you about the second Honkai?

Or rather, when you pick up the Black Abyss White Flower, do you think about its previous owners?

"How come you seem to know everything..."

Bianca muttered something.

“My dear Bianca Durandal Atagina, it is because I know that I am here to teach you.”

Linnaeus stood up and waved for Bianca to follow.

"Although Otto is a bastard, he is also a very good mentor."

Under his guidance, many heroes emerged from Destiny, but many also perished at his hands, including his trusted subordinates and students.

"..."

Don't you believe me?

"No, that is indeed something His Excellency the Bishop would do."

Sometimes gentle, sometimes cruel, unpredictable—that is the fateful bishop Otto Opakalis.

“Otto is actually a complex yet simple person… But let’s leave that aside for now. Do you know the history of the Black Abyss White Flower and its past owners?”
