Honkai Q&a, Starting with Kiana
Page 49
It was empty inside, with furniture and beds neatly arranged. Joachim left without saying goodbye to anyone.
"He left after all..." Teresa sighed, then turned her head and said to the two, "Bronya, Seele, the priest has something to tell us."
The two looked at each other, and followed Teresa to the deepest room of the orphanage.
The blond man was lying on the bed, trying to turn his body towards them, scarlet and purple lines spread all over his body, as if to cut this man to pieces.
"Theresa, my cross seems to have fallen into the snow..."
"Father, take a good rest first. I'll help you find it. Next week, no, tomorrow, I'll send you to the hospital in the town. You'll be fine..."
There was a faint sob in Teresa's comforting words, and she knew that everything was irreversible.
The priest's eyes were very empty, his eyes were blurred, and he could only guess who the person in front of him was based on his memory.
Whether it's the people in the video or the people watching the video, they all looked at this man with complicated eyes, Otto, the number one scumbag in the collapsed world, an inhuman lunatic, a man who would die if he dared to show his blood.
But in everyone's perception, such a weak appearance should not appear on this man.
Chapter 71 People will experience growth three times in their life
Emotions are immortal engraved in the soul, and will not disappear due to collapse or destruction of the emotional center.
It just wears away with time, leaving a Canaanite hole hollow and empty inside.
"Joachim... has he... gone..."
The silence of the crowd answered his question wordlessly.
"Is that so...it's a pity..." The priest closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, waiting until he opened his eyes again.
The emerald green pupils seemed to have regained their senses, brightening up a bit.
Teresa was not happy, but more and more depressed.
Bronya patted Xier on the shoulder, and Xier fell into her arms, sobbing softly.
Everyone knows that the priest is not getting better physically, but the last reflection of his life.
"I understand his feelings, the one who made him an orphan...it was me..." The priest looked at the snow scene outside the window, but he seemed to have returned to that sinful night before his eyes.
"That's not the priest's fault..." Teresa wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Otto.
"Right and wrong can't answer all the questions in this world. I always ask myself, is there another way to save his father at that time, but no matter what I think, that day, I still choose to kill killed him."
The world is not black and white, and Otto sees his past self from the other person... the self he wants to deny and end...
"Father..." Teresa guessed what the priest wanted to say and moved her lips, but she didn't say anything. She just had to listen, quietly.
"I have also been exposed to taboos, tainted with the power of evil, and implicated... No, I have killed many innocent people... But the saint stopped me and took me out of the abyss. I fled with her organization, sealed the source of evil in an unknown place."
That was the character and thoughts of Otto before he was redeemed by Karen.
"But we were both cursed and she died two years later."
Otto once thought that if he hadn't left with Kallen, the saint would not have died of the curse, and he would have tried everything to protect him.
The other choice, he might be the one who stands at the top of the power...that is the crown of sin that is held up with blood-stained palms.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Everyone has to make choices for themselves, swallow the bitter fruit caused by it, and swallow the sour tears.
At this moment, Otto is not a bishop, but a priest. He recalled the last time of the two, hugging under the cherry tree, accompanied by the witch girlfriend, Otto hugged Karen, and asked her her last thoughts.
"When that person was dying, I asked her if she regretted her choice, and now, I will convey her answer to you."
"A person will experience three growths in his life."
"The first time is to understand the right and wrong of things."
"The second time, is to understand that some things are not just right and wrong."
"The third time, after realizing that there is no right or wrong in some things, I still firmly do what I believe in and take responsibility for it."
The priest's eyes were shining brightly, and his tone was very calm, but there was a hint of tremor.
Perhaps, it is to recall some things, some things that time cannot erase.
"I buried her in a foreign country and then came here to set up an orphanage."
"I understand Joachim's confusion, or rather, I was once so confused, so I respect his choice."
"Father..." Tears rolled down Teresa's face.
"Children, I can't go back. I've made too many mistakes. All I can do is take responsibility for my past."
Otto smiled,
"But, fortunately, I met you. Thank you for allowing me to look back on the past and find that I still have happy and warm memories."
"Father...you'll be fine..."
"...Joachim, did you hear that?" Bronya looked at the grandpa and grandson, turned around, and spoke to the person outside the door.
"...Joachim..."
The priest saw a figure walking in after opening the door, holding a cross,
"Father, you lost this cross last night, so I got it back, and you said you were going to give it to me."
Joachim held the cross tightly, like a child guarding his most important treasure.
"I'm still very confused now, and I don't know what to do in the future, but there is something that I want to say no matter what—"
He met the priest's darkening eyes, bit his lip, and Joachim spoke.
"I am willing... I am willing to take this step, inherit this orphanage, and inherit your responsibilities!"
"So please keep being my family and don't lead me down the wrong path...!"
Joachim threw himself on the side of the bed, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes unstoppably, Teresa didn't say anything, just hugged him gently.
"I believe in you, Joachim, and I believe that you will find your own path."
The priest tightened the pendant in his hand, and the light in his eyes seemed to have changed.
"I have fought the good fight... I have walked the way I should go... the way you believe... I have kept..."
The priest closed his eyes forever, with a smile on his face. At the end of his life, he seemed to see the cherry blossom tree and the lovely man waving his arms under the tree...
"Karen...you've been waiting for a long time, I'm here to accompany you..."
A drop of tear fell on the wooden floor, and then turned into white light, flooding the whole world.
In the white light, a boy's voice echoed.
"You go first, in order to prepare for the road ahead, if you ask me why some people die early..."
"Because death is past, there will be no sorrow, no crying, no pain, no terror, because the past is past..."
"Where are you going, we know—"
"Your way, we also know—"
"Father, although you are gone, the door of the Freya Orphanage will still be open. This is our choice and our way. God will bless you, our father. Our hero—"

Chapter 72 The Weird Island Villa
"There are three growths in a person's life. Putting it on my grandfather can really set an example. Even the negative cases are clearly on our faces."
Teresa sighed, the more she knew about Otto, the more complicated her feelings towards him became.
It should be said to be love, but countless lives were directly and indirectly died at his hands.
It should be said that it is hatred. He protected far more people than he killed. Today's society can still maintain a peaceful tone, and Otto has contributed a lot.
"Tsk, I wish Father Otto was from our world, but Bishop Otto is a scumbag... Sigh..."
Einstein clutched his forehead, not knowing what to say.
They are obviously the same person, but because of a choice, they split into two extremes.
One is for the children in the orphanage, giving everything, even if it is death, it will erect a bright light in front of them.
One is a clown who teases the world. For his own selfishness, he tries to subvert the boundary between life and death. Even if he meets the gods personally, he will not hesitate to reset the world.
Should I say the world is amazing?
Although, without Bishop Otto, the world would be a worse place.
"It would have been nice if Karen hadn't died back then."
Once with the help of Bronya, when Kiyana invaded the Destiny Database to review historical knowledge, she personally experienced and witnessed Karen's death at the hands of a Houkai Beast.
Wait, in this way, Otto's 500-year dictatorship was not caused by that Honkai Beast!
Collapsing, extremely hateful!
Kiyana thought angrily.
"Everyone, don't you think you are not interested in the risks that the system prompts?" Lei Dian Mei looked at everyone who was talking about the wrong topic, with sweat on his forehead, and he could not help reminding.
"Sister Mei, according to the search of the reloaded rabbit, Bronya has not found any unknown risks..." Bronya said solemnly: "However, since sister Mei is worried, then everyone should leave early."
After speaking, Bronya stared at Raven closely.
"How about it! Do you want me to disclose the information to your enemies?" Raven felt uncomfortable being stared at: "...I can only advise, the villa is very dangerous."
She thought of the high-explosive bomb under the villa, and her face turned pale.
Is it that difficult to just want a villa island? !
Tired and feeling unloved.
Thinking of the sad things, Raven didn't worry about the special rewards anymore, and chose to go offline directly.
Everyone looked at each other.
Even Raven, the villa island controler, doesn't want to stay. After seeing the problem here, it's really big.
I saw one figure disappearing one after another, and when the villa island was empty.
"teri, teri..."
"teri, teri..."
