The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

"Why is Teacher Wang Chen gone?" Yuno suddenly noticed that there was one person missing in the living room and was wondering, but her classmates interrupted her, "Teacher Wang Chen, I just saw him go to the bathroom. Yuno should make a choice quickly, truth or dare."

That's right, Yuno is now playing the game of Truth or Dare with her friends, and this time it is Yuno's turn to choose Truth or Dare.

"Choose a dare, Yuno-chan." Youmei encouraged her. You don't have to guess that she must have thought of a "dare" and prepared for Yuno to carry it out. As a close friend, Yuno knew what Youmei was thinking and would not let Youmei succeed easily, so she said, "I choose truth or truth."

"Hey, what kind of truth should I tell you?" Youmei sat back in her seat with some disappointment. After all, Youmei knew that her best friend had never told her a lie and would tell her what she wanted to tell. In addition, the two of them were inseparable, so Youmei couldn't think of any words that Yuno hadn't told her.

"Oh, I got it. I want to know what Yuno-senpai is most afraid of." A junior girl suddenly had an idea and said.

"What are you most afraid of? That seems interesting because Yuno doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. So is there anything Yuno is particularly afraid of?" the senior asked with the same curiosity.

"The thing I fear the most?" Yuno muttered to herself. It seemed that she had not heard the word fear for a long time. What was she afraid of? What was she afraid of? After all, in the three years of high school at Qianyu Academy, she seemed to have nothing to do with these two words.

Then we can only keep thinking forward? Think about what you were afraid of when you were a child?

"If we have to say what Yuno-san is afraid of, we may know a little bit, and Yumi-san should also know it." A classmate suddenly spoke up.

"Eh...what do you mean?" Youmei was also very curious at first about what her best friend was afraid of, but when she heard what her classmates said, it brought back a memory that she didn't want to recall.

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore." Another classmate said with a frown.

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. After all, this is not a good experience." The classmate quickly shut up and said nothing more. Even when people next to him asked, he didn't say anything.

This immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, especially the younger schoolmates, who were very curious about what had happened that made Yuno's classmates keep silent, so they all looked at Yuno.

"It's not a big deal, it's long gone." Yuno clearly understood that her classmates were worried that she was still affected by the incident two years ago. After all, she was the most important person in that incident. So Yuno openly told them about the incident in her class before Teacher Wang came, when a few unharmonious girls bullied her.

"That's too much... I didn't expect that Yuno-senpai had gone through something like this." After hearing this, the other junior schoolmates were all very surprised at what Yuno had experienced.

"But since Yuno-san can speak out so readily now, it seems that our worries are unnecessary." The classmate exhaled and said.

"How dare you say that? You almost did it just now and scared everyone. Well, Yuno has finished telling a story, so let's consider it as the end of this truth or dare game. And you, as a punishment for almost letting the cat out of the bag just now, it's your turn to play truth or dare this time! Make your choice quickly!" Another classmate said.

"Woo, spare me!"

Seeing everyone relax and immersed in the game again, Yuno also breathed a sigh of relief happily. Her classmates and her junior schoolmates all cared about her very much. After talking about everything she had experienced frankly, she felt that she really had nothing to be afraid of.

"As expected... I can't imagine Yuno being scared. Now she can talk about that experience openly. Yuno-chan has completely let it go." Youmei said, looking at Yuno with a smile.

"I didn't take those guys seriously at the beginning." Yuno said unhappily.

"Hey, I know, Yuno-chan is the best."

"Hmm... Hmm." Yuno felt a little embarrassed by the overly direct compliment. So she just nodded. However, Yuno still smiled knowingly and muttered to herself, "That's right... I have nothing to be afraid of anymore."

"really?"

Yuno's pupils suddenly dilated. After hearing the strange question, the whole hall changed in an instant. Yumi was no longer by her side, and the laughter of her friends was gone. The lights in the whole room dimmed, leaving only the cake on the table that should have been eaten up. It returned to its original state and the candles were lit again.

Under the candlelight, there is a mirror facing me, reflecting my own image. But why does the image of me in the mirror seem strange?

"Are you really not afraid of anything, Yuno?" Suddenly, the person in the mirror laughed and then walked out of the mirror slowly. At this moment, Yuno saw her appearance in the mirror clearly. A white flower grew on one of her eyes, purple thorns crawled all over her body, and her body began to crack and form purple lines. The smell of blood on her body was getting stronger and stronger.

"Who are you? You've been appearing in my mind over and over again!" Yuno stared at the other person, becoming alert.

"Who am I? Yuno, can't you tell me?" The "self" opposite showed a strange smile, and then said, "Yuno, are you really not afraid of anything? Then what are you afraid of now? You should have known this memory a long time ago... Why do you choose to escape now?"

"What are you talking about! I don't understand and I don't know!" Yuno reached into her pocket, trying to take out a weapon, then she remembered that her anti-wolf spray had already been taken away by Teacher Wang Chen.

"Haha... Are you planning to take out something to attack me? Just with such a small thing? Hehehe..." The "self" on the opposite side said with a mocking laugh.

"Monster! If you dare to come over here, even if I have no weapon, I will kill you..."

"You want to tear me into pieces, right?" a voice appeared behind Yuno. Yuno was startled and immediately turned around to punch, but her hand was easily grabbed.

"Ah!!" My wrist was pinched so painfully, and the strange strength that I couldn't resist proved that the other party was a real monster!

"Don't you realize it yet? Humans are not as aggressive as you. Especially when facing monsters, your killing intent does not shrink at all. This is you, Yuno. Even if you forget your memory, you can't get rid of this instinct."

"Monster? You're right, I am a monster... and I am you." The monster-like "self" grabbed Yuno's hand and raised it high, and the two of them looked at each other face to face. But soon, Yuno's gaze retreated, this was the first time she had retreated in a long time.

"Ah... You are finally scared, Yuno. You should have noticed that those memories are constantly returning to your mind." The monster's "self" laughed more and more cruelly, and the branches on its body began to climb towards Yuno, entangled around her, and pierced into Yuno's flesh, regardless of Yuno's cries of pain.

“No…those things…are not me…” But compared to the pain in her body, Yuno held her head tightly with her other hand. Those memories that were once sealed kept awakening. Yuno began to remember, remembering what happened two years ago, remembering the content of that dream…No, or it was not a dream at all.

That is the truly cruel reality.

“You’re scared, right? But this is the truth. Hehe, those guys who laughed and cheered for you, they have already been... completely destroyed by you. You are obviously bathed in their blood and flesh, and now you stay here, playing house with them? Don’t you feel disgusted? Hahahaha.” The monster’s “self” pulled away Yuno’s hands that were holding her head, and then let Yuno look at him, looking at his wild laughter.

"The boring house game set up by that stupid man should end... Yuno..." The face that looked like Yuno began to crack and turned into a bloody mouth that was about to swallow Yuno.

"Dream, it's time to wake up."

Chapter 47: Shattered Dreams

"Looks like you're the loser again. Come on, get ready to play truth or dare."

Yuno opened her eyes in a daze, and heard the laughter of her classmates. Now the surrounding scene has once again become the original room, and everything that just happened is like a nightmare.

But Yuno knew that it was not a dream... because she had remembered everything. She was terribly silent now. The violent negative emotions and the voices in the dark were about to devour her.

"Yuno-chan, what's wrong with you?" The first person to notice something was wrong was Youmei, who was sitting next to Yuno. As if with telepathy, Youmei looked at Yuno with some concern and said.

"Fake..." Yuno whispered two words softly.

"Huh? What?" Youmei asked in confusion.

"I..." Yuno looked at her best friend, the one who should have been her lifelong companion. The fierce light in her eyes softened again after seeing Youmei's caring eyes. However, the stinging pain in her head urged her to make the final choice.

"Youmei...can I ask you a question?" Yuno lowered her head and said slowly.

"Well, ask."

"If one day... I make an intolerable mistake, especially an intolerable mistake to you. Will you still be willing to treat me as a friend?" Yuno asked slowly.

"... Yuno-chan's question is really hard to answer. It's an intolerable mistake." Youmei thought about it for a while, but finally smiled and said, "I think if it's really so serious that it's intolerable, even I won't forgive Yuno."

"Is that so?" Yuno muttered to herself.

"Well, but I won't let Yuno do such a thing. After all, I want to be Yuno's best friend forever... Even if I become an old woman, we can still take walks together and talk about the past." Youmei looked at Yuno very seriously and said.

"Haha, how can you immediately think about what will happen after you become an old woman... Youmei, you really are..." Youmei spoke seriously, but made Yuno laugh.

"But...really, thank you very much, Youmei, for being with me for so long." Yuno put her hand on Youmei's shoulder and said.

"Me too, Yuno-chan. Being friends with you is the happiest thing." Youmei said with a smile.

"Well, thank you very much... Thank you very much... Then..."

Yuno smiled at her most precious friend and said:

"farewell……"

……

"boom!"

Wang Chen repelled the Herrscher Yuno who had transformed into a monster, but Wang Chen did not feel any joy of victory. On the contrary, a very bad premonition kept rising in his heart.

A long time had passed, but there was no movement in the room. What was even more strange was that even after several rounds of fighting, Wang Chen could clearly feel that the power of Herrscher Yuno was gradually weakening.

Why? He clearly hadn't done any real harm to the other party, so why was the other party's strength getting weaker and weaker? Especially just now, the other party's strength had dropped precipitously. Rather than being caused by himself, it was more like the power was intentionally transferred to an unknown place.

"Hehehe...did you finally realize it?" The Herrscher Yuno, who was lying in the ruins, crawled out and sneered at Wang Chen.

"Could it be!" Wang Chen guessed the possibility and no longer bothered with the cover in the ruins. He immediately rushed to Yuno's house.

"Hehe, it's too late... Everything is too late. We should be reunited, don't you think, Yuno?" Seeing Wang Chen leave, Herrscher Yuno did not stop him. Because Herrscher Yuno's body had begun to turn into points of light and began to dissipate. After all, she was now going back to the depths of consciousness, to be reunited with Yuno, and to become the pseudo-Herrscher Yuno again.

Wang Chen pushed open the door and went straight into the living room. However, from the moment he stepped into the living room, Wang Chen fell completely silent.

Blood flowed at her feet. The students in the living room who were laughing and celebrating Yuno's birthday had their hearts pierced by branches and were lying on the floor. From their expressions, it seemed that they didn't realize that they had died inexplicably.

Yuno's mother also fell on the sofa and never woke up again. And Youmei just lay quietly in Yuno's arms and closed her eyes.

"Teacher?" Yuno heard Wang Chen's footsteps. She laid Youmei flat on the sofa, then stood up and looked at Wang Chen.

"Why?" Wang Chen looked at the scene in front of him. He knew Yuno would make a choice in the end, but he didn't expect the final choice to be...

"Playing house is always just playing house. I've said it before." Another voice sounded, and a huge purple strange flower grew on the ground. The bud opened, and out jumped the Herrscher Yuno who was lying in the ruins just now. At this moment, she was looking at Wang Chen with a sneer and said, "Yuno, she has long been a monster. She can't control her hatred and anger towards humans. She can't stand the killing instinct that has been awakened by tasting flesh and blood. This is the gift God has given us."

"...Did it fail in the end?" Wang Chen murmured.

"Boom!"

"Ugh!" The huge vines hit Wang Chen directly. Wang Chen immediately used his sword to block it, but was still hit against the wall by the huge force. But even the wall could not support this huge force, and a big hole was directly smashed in it. Wang Chen was knocked out and fell to the ground.

"The troublesome guy has finally left. Come on, Yuno, return to the embrace of God." The huge vines smashed all the houses, covering everything. Yuno closed her eyes as she watched her friends, mother, and those familiar people being covered by the broken bricks. The next moment, Yuno, the Herrscher, turned into a point of light and entered Yuno's body. The entire space began to fall apart, and the illusion created by Wang Chen could no longer restrain Yuno's consciousness.

"Captain! The illusion you set up can no longer hold, Yuno is about to wake up, let's go!" A voice appeared behind Wang Chen. It turned out to be Fu Hua who used the power of Yu Duchen and realized that the illusion set up by Wang Chen was about to be broken, so she opened the door to the illusion to help Wang Chen escape from the illusion.

Wang Chen struggled to get up from the ground, knelt on the ground, and silently watched everything in front of him fall apart. After all, he was unable to awaken Yuno's conscience, so Yuno finally chose to continue her revenge on humans and became an apostle of Honkai and a monster.

Suddenly, a few petals floated in the air, and Wang Chen noticed that they were the petals of the forget-me-not and red spider lily that he had given to Yuno before. That's right, Yuno's home had been destroyed, and the two bouquets of flowers full of meaning must have been broken along with it.

"Teacher...Teacher..."

A faint voice was heard, and Wang Chen, who was about to get up and leave with Fu Hua, suddenly heard Yuno's voice.

Wang Chen raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. The next moment -

He was already in the back garden of the familiar Chiyu Academy's Gardening Club. Time had somehow switched to daytime. The sun shone on the flowers in the garden. Wang Chen heard a girl humming a song while watering the flowers in the garden.

The fence gate of the back garden opened automatically, and the scenery in the back garden appeared in Wang Chen's sight. Wang Chen then noticed that the girl humming and watering the flowers was Yuno. She was watering the flowers with her back to him.

"Teacher." Hearing the gate behind her being pushed open, Yuno put down the kettle in her hand, turned around, smiled faintly, and looked at Wang Chen.

Chapter 48 The Last Wish

"Should I call you teacher, or should I call you...well, let me think about it? A warrior against Honkai?" Yuno said after thinking for a while.

"You have remembered everything." Wang Chen said slowly.

"Well... it's hard to remember it, after all, it was my most painful memory." Yuno pointed to her head and then said, "I'll continue to call you teacher. I've called you that for a long time. I don't want to change it."

"Teacher... I'm afraid that the choice I made in the end will disappoint you." Yuno suddenly laughed, but there was no happiness in her smile.

Wang Chen did not speak or respond. He believed that Yuno's final choice was due to her own failure and incompetence. Failure is failure, and Wang Chen would not blame others for his failure. It was because of his own incompetence that he could not use unreasonable methods like the protagonists in the finale of Honkai Impact 3 to heal the people whose minds were eroded by Honkai Impact 3 and twisted, and absorb all the Honkai energy.

I can only use this compromise method to reawaken the conscience of the eroded person and give him hope, so that I can work together with him to resist the erosion of the collapse, suppress negative emotions and deprive him of control of the Herrscher's consciousness. Therefore, once Yuno chooses to give up, I can do nothing.

But in the end, I couldn't make Yuno believe in myself, make Yuno believe that she could start over.

"No." A voice interrupted Wang Chen's thoughts. Wang Chen looked at Yuno, who seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Teacher, are you blaming yourself for not changing Yuno? No, that's not the case."

"This illusion created by the teacher, although everyone is fake, everything in it is created based on my memory..." Yuno said as if recalling something, "It can be said that all objects in this illusion are fake. However, I can feel that there is also a real scene in this illusion."

"I could feel the malice those girls had towards me. That was the root of my complete depravity and the root of my hatred for the world. And then, I also felt the courage of my classmates when they stood up and united to drive away those people's will, as well as everyone's care and concern for me."

"It's the first time I've received so much attention. Haha, I was a little scared when I think about it. Especially Youmei..." When Yuno mentioned Youmei, she smiled softly and said, "Youmei is really a good child. Maybe she is the one I envy the most. She was originally taciturn and like a coward, but in the end she was so energetic and dazzling. Gradually, I was unconsciously influenced by her. I want to be as happy as her,"

"My mother also showed me love again. I was also taken care of by my senior schoolmates, and I also had the experience of taking care of my junior schoolmates as a senior schoolmate. During the three years in the illusion, although time sometimes passed very quickly, I still experienced and completed the three years I wanted to spend, even though it was in an illusion."

"I don't want to blame the teacher for making a fake thing to deceive me. On the contrary... I know clearly... the most real emotions in those illusions have never been fake, because they are derived from my own experiences." Yuno continued to recall, saying: "When I was bullied by the girls, there were also people who stood up for me. Some classmates in the class also helped me secretly. They would come to comfort me every time I was beaten. Not everyone ignored me."

"Although my mother often lost her temper, drank, and went crazy, she never broke into my room to beat or scold me, and gave me independent space. Even when she lost control of her emotions, she still prepared a meal on time and cleaned the house to avoid a mess. What's more, my mother was still such a gentle person who raised me for 15 years."

"It was this illusion of the teacher that made me remember all these things again... It made me remember that, in fact, it's not that I have never seen the light. It's just that I... hehe... eventually forgot all of these and became a person like my mother... no, even worse. I can no longer be called a human being." Yuno began to walk towards Wang Chen and said.

"Teacher, I really...really thank you for awakening Yuno again, making Yuno understand that she is not a monster, and making Yuno understand that I can also be happy again. Haven't you and I proved this in the illusion?" Yuno bowed deeply to Wang Chen and said.

"Then why... why did you make a choice?" Wang Chen didn't understand. If Yuno was really as she said, and she had figured it out, why did she choose to embrace Honkai, and why did she kill all those friends and mother in the illusion?

"Yeah... why... Teacher, why? Why did you come so late, teacher..." Suddenly, the girl's voice became a little tearful, and Wang Chen noticed that Yuno's eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried not long ago.

"It's too late, teacher... Yuno can't go back anymore. Those friends in the illusion, especially my classmates, are really dead... I remember... I remember everything. I tore them into pieces with my own hands. I laughed crazily while I killed them. No matter if they helped me or bullied me, the classmates who were closest to me at the time... They all... All of them have been poured on my head."

"Youmei... Youmei has probably already... I am not qualified to be their friend, even in a false illusion. I can't forgive myself." Yuno shed tears and said with her eyes closed.

"Teacher... you did nothing wrong, and you didn't fail. You did reawaken me. You freed me from the monster's control. But I was also wrong and failed. You once said that once I took good care of 'Forget Worry', 'The Other Shore' would appear in my hands. I know you want to persuade me to forget the past and start over. But... painful memories can be forgotten, but the established facts that I created with my own hands cannot be changed."

"I no longer have the qualifications to reach the other side. After regaining those memories, I could not forgive myself for the sins I committed. So I killed them again, and once again became the monster that killed them. Teacher... don't bother saving a monster like me anymore."

Yuno's words echoed in Wang Chen's heart. He was unable to answer Yuno and didn't even know how to say comforting words.

Yuno raised her head, tears soaking her face. Finally, Yuno forced a smile and said, "Teacher, can I make one last willful request?"

"You say it."

Yuno slowly came to Wang Chen who was kneeling on the ground, squatted down, held Wang Chen's hands with both hands, and said: "Teacher, I don't want my hands to be stained with more innocent blood after this."

"Teacher, please send me to Youmei and the others... Let me apologize to them in person... Even if they may never forgive me, I still want to apologize to them in person. This is my last request, my last wish."

Wang Chen was silent, with an inexplicable emotion stuck in his throat that he couldn't express. Seeing that Wang Chen didn't agree immediately, Yuno clenched her hand tighter and said, "Please, teacher... This is my first and last request. Please, teacher, let me go and apologize to Youmei and the others... teacher."
