Genshin Impact, start by playing as the Herrscher of the Void

"This is... the puppet costume that the person who just handed out flyers to us was wearing? It's torn to shreds. Is he okay? But I don't know what Sister Bronya found on it that made her leave me alone to act."

As soon as she arrived at the puppet costume, Xier recognized that it was worn by the person who had just distributed flyers.

And she was very curious, wondering what Bronya saw there that made her leave here without saying a word.

Could it be that... Bronya-sister thinks I'm too stupid? That's why she's acting on her own? ?

There was no way, Xier could only think like this, otherwise she really couldn’t figure out what was going on.

"There's no blood. The inside of the doll suit is empty. Wait, something fell out. Hmm, the key? There's the apartment's door number on it."

After squatting down and observing for a while, Kiana found a key inside the doll costume, and there was an apartment number on the key.

Could it be that Bronya saw this key...that's why...

No... In that case... Bronya should have taken the key...

And why didn't she inform Xi'er?

Even if you feel there is danger... at least tell Xier...

Squatting on the ground and staring at the key in her hand, Kiana was also confused. She really couldn't figure out what Bronya was doing.

"Did Sister Bronya leave after seeing this key?"

Seeing that there was a key inside the doll's costume, Xier also made the same guess.

But she didn't know the specific situation.

"It's possible. Let's go to that apartment and take a look at the situation."

Nodding, Kiana decided to go and take a look at the apartment.

After all, apart from this information left on the doll's costume, there was no other useful information, so she could only try her luck there.

"Okay, let's hurry up then!"

At this moment, Seele seemed unable to wait any longer, she really wanted to find Bronya as soon as possible.

However, on the way to the apartment mentioned on the key with Kiana, Xier planned to ask the other her about what happened at that time.

"What happened just now..."

"It's very strange! And your sister also gives me a strange feeling for some reason~"

In front of another Xier (?), Xier was interrupted before she could finish her words.

Sister Bronya... is a little weird?

I think I felt the same way just now...

What on earth...happened?

Listening to what her other self said, Seele couldn't help but recall the strange feeling that Sister Bronya gave her just now.

But she couldn't tell what was strange about it.

But maybe the other her will know the answer to this question.

"What's wrong with Bronya? Can you tell me?"

"do not know!"

Without giving it any thought, Xier (? ) immediately shook her head.

There was no way, she couldn't tell what was wrong with Bronya just now.

"Then... the mecha just now... do you know what happened?"

Seeing that the other sister Bronya herself couldn't tell what was strange about her just now, Seele had to ask her about the mecha riot just now.

Anyway, no matter what, Sister Bronya must have left without saying a word because of the problems with these mechas, so it is very important to know the reason why these mechas suddenly rioted.

"I didn't find anything either. Those mechas seemed to move on their own. I didn't see anyone operating them."

Xier (?) shook her head again.

"Xi'er, we're here."

At this time, Kiana's voice came from the side.

"I have to..."

"Go-"

Before Xier could finish her words, Xier (?) who was sitting on the chair interrupted her again.

"I'm leaving."

Nodding, Xier returned to reality.

Rampa Apartments? Is this the apartment where that person lives?

Looking up and taking a quick look at the structure of the apartment, Xier quickly saw the name on it.

squeak--

Eh? There's no lock?

Xier was also a little surprised to see that the door of the apartment opened automatically as soon as Kiana put her hand on it.

"Xi'er, danger!"

Suddenly, Xier (?) reminds Xier that there is danger.

"These mechas...are like before..."

Looking back, Xier saw several mechas coming towards her and Kiana.

"Deal with them first—"

Without saying a word, Kiana rushed forward, and Seele followed closely behind.

"Ok."

boom--

Before long, all the mechas were knocked down by Kiana and Seele.

However, not long after those mechas fell down, they stood up again.

"What happened? You stood up again?"

Looking at all this, Xier was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

"It seems that there must be some unspeakable secret hidden in this apartment."

At this point, Kiana naturally realized that the apartment in front of them was not simple.

In this case...then beat them until they can't get up anymore...

386~Domination...Theater??

boom--

As the last runaway mecha fell to the ground, the surroundings began to become quiet again.

"They won't stand up again this time, will they?"

When she came to Kiana's side, Xier still looked alert. She was really worried that the mechas would suddenly stand up again like they did just now.

"Probably not, but it's always better to be careful—"

Like Seele, Kiana looked at the mechas that had fallen to the ground with a vigilant look on her face, and answered Seele's question with some uncertainty.

And just like that, the mechas knocked down by the two men lay motionless on the ground for a few minutes, and the two men watched for a few minutes.

"It seems that they won't stand up again." Kiana, who was relieved at this time, began to become confused again, "But they look like they are being controlled, a bit... a bit like puppets."

Recalling the stiff movements of the mechas during the battle just now, Kiana came to this conclusion.

"It seems like that... I feel the same way..."

Also thinking about the battle just now, Xier said this with some uncertainty.

"Anyway, let's go into this apartment first. There must be some unknown secrets hidden in it."

As she spoke, Kiana turned around and looked at the apartment whose door she had opened.

But after experiencing the battle that just ended, she no longer had the normal mentality she had just had.

Now, behind the open door, she always felt that there was something very unusual going on inside.

"Xi'er, follow me."

"Ah? Ok... Ok..."

After a moment of hesitation, Xier, who was about to talk to her other self, gave up the idea when she saw Kiana walking into the apartment.

squeak--

As Kiana gently pushed open the door of the apartment, she walked slowly into the apartment with full alertness.

That house number... is the house number on the key...

After taking a quick look inside the apartment, Kiana quickly found the residence they were looking for.

dong dong dong-

"Is anyone there? I'm here to return the keys."

Although she said that, Kiana still opened the door with the key in her hand.

Eh? Doll? Broken doll? ?

As soon as she came in, Kiana saw a broken doll on the table inside the room.

And for some reason, the doll gave her a very strange feeling.

Da da da--

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the room where the two were.

"Who?"

Kiana quickly turned around.

"Hey, I'm the landlord here. Are you here to look for the child who lives here? Are you the child's friends?"

Soon, a person who looked like a middle-aged woman appeared in their sight.

"Yes, we are his friends and we are here to look for him."

Without giving it any thought, Kiana nodded immediately, confirming the landlord's guess.

"Madam, did you hear any noise just now?"

At this time, Xier suddenly asked this.

"Noise? No, I just heard you open the door..."

As the two men watched, the landlord suddenly appeared and gave a surprising answer.

What? No sound?

How is this possible???

Although her facial expression did not seem to change, Kiana's heart was already filled with all kinds of doubts.

She even felt that there was something wrong with the landlord who appeared in front of her and Xier.

But she didn't notice anything wrong with the landlord.

At this time, the landlord continued, "But you are here to look for that child... Alas... That's too unfortunate. The child... passed away a month ago."

What?! Already...passed away??

So the person wearing the puppet costume is actually someone else? ?

Otherwise...how could a dead person appear again...

But... who holds his keys after his death?

"Did anyone come back here after that?" Kiana wanted to ask clearly.

"How could anyone come back here? It's even a question whether this room can be rented out. But since you are his friends, just go in and take a look. I have to clean up the things here soon anyway."

With a sigh, the landlord turned and began to leave, but Kiana called her again.
