I am in the abyss of Collapse

At this time, Kiana had already finished lunch and was helping the researchers in the laboratory move various equipment - of course, she didn't just wander around the corridor carrying the equipment. Kiana was not a fool, she got a cart to make her current work much easier.

"call……"

Kiana wiped the sweat from her forehead, took out a bottle of water from her waist bag, drank several sips, and exhaled comfortably.

"Thank you, Kiana. We were just worrying about how to move the equipment." A researcher came up and nodded to the white-haired ball.

The girl smiled and said, "After all, the food provided by the cafeteria is delicious. I can't treat the bosses who provided me with meal cards unfairly."

The researcher smiled and said, "I heard that you ate a lot today. Many people were stunned."

Kiana scratched her head a little embarrassedly. In fact, she ate so much not only to make up for the energy consumed by working all morning, but more to vent the confusion and tension in her heart:

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange place, surrounded by strangers who seemed very familiar to her. This strange situation made Kiana feel creepy.

But Kiana quickly calmed down. She had a big heart, and the strong psychological quality developed from traveling half the world alone allowed her to face it all.

The white-haired girl did not casually say that she was not the person you knew. Instead, she disguised herself very cleverly and even used this unfamiliar identity to explore the surrounding situation, demonstrating her strong ability to take action.

Fortunately, there were no major problems along the way. The researchers in white coats did not seem to notice anything unusual about Kiana. They were very polite to her and helped her find the cafeteria...

Thinking of this, the white-haired ball couldn't help but licking his lips. His eyes drifted to the electronic clock in the corridor. It was not long before the cafeteria would start dinner.

The unknown researcher sitting opposite Kiana was also a wonderful person. He looked at the girl's wandering gaze and quickly understood her expectations. He smiled and said to her, "It's okay to go to the cafeteria a little earlier..."

"really?"

Kiana was overjoyed and said eagerly, "Then I'll hurry up and move these things in for you. I want to see what the cafeteria will cook tonight."

After finishing the last bit of work in no time, the white-haired ball clapped her hands, came out to say goodbye to the researcher, and went to the cafeteria to clean up again. But she didn't expect that as soon as she went out, she saw a purple ball flying towards her -

"Sister Kiana!"

"oops!"

Kiana was quick to catch the girl. She frowned and lifted the little girl up, saying, "Little sister, don't run around in the corridor or jump on people anymore!"

Xilin tilted her head and whispered, "I know this, but you are not my sister!"

"Ah? Sister?" Kiana raised her eyebrows. She adjusted her posture slightly and put Xilin on the ground. "But you are not even as tall as me, how can you call me sister? It should be me who calls you sister, right?"

"Hmm... oh, why haven't I grown taller?" Xilin fell into deep thought.

Seeing the purple-haired girl frowning and pretending to be thinking deeply, Kiana couldn't help laughing and pinched her cheek, which made Xilin's eyes full of tears.

This should be the child of one of the researchers here, right? Very interesting.

"Mom, Kiana bullied me!"

Kiana showed a sympathetic expression. This child really couldn't afford to play, so he went to find his parents right away?

I hope the parents of this naughty kid are not unreasonable...

"Parent, please keep your child under control and don't let her run in the corridor...Mom...?!"

————————————————————

Finding Kiana in the institute was a relatively easy task, after all, her features were very obvious - white hair, a big appetite, and great strength. In addition, Kiana happened to "raid" the cafeteria at noon, which shocked all the onlookers and subtly increased her reputation in the institute.

Luo Lin asked the researchers and soon found Kiana's whereabouts.

In fact, Luo Lin was still a little nervous before meeting Kiana. After all, some problems occurred after she met Siegfried, which resulted in the white-haired man not traveling with her. Moreover, the rumors told to her by the guard also made Luo Lin feel bad. What if something went wrong when meeting Kiana?

Fortunately, after they actually met, the white-haired girl behaved the same as before (calling her mother when they met). She was attracted by the appearance and aura of "Cecilia" that Luo Lin was currently using, and joined Luo Lin's team quite smoothly.

"I didn't eat any poisonous mushrooms..."

At this time, Kiana fell into self-doubt. She looked at the tall white-haired Valkyrie with a conflicted look. The friendly breath coming from her could not be fake. Her body was cheering for the white-haired girl to throw herself into her arms and enjoy the hard-earned family affection.

But the current situation was too weird. Kiana suppressed her body's impulse. After a little thought, she chose to continue playing her role and pretending to be the woman's child...

Kiana felt very nervous now, even her arms were a little stiff, making Xilin, who was lying in her arms, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your movements are so strange, did you do something bad secretly?"

"No……?"

"Well, Xilin can see that there is guilt in your eyes."

The purple-haired girl moved her hips, hugged Kiana's neck, who had cold sweat on her forehead, and muttered something.

"But don't worry, sister Kiana, I'll tell you in secret, as long as you sincerely admit your mistake, mom will still forgive you!"

"This……"

Listening to Sirin's words, Kiana felt her conscience being tortured.

Under Luo Lin's leadership, they happily ate a luxurious dinner, and even more than half of the dishes they ordered were Kiana's favorite flavors. After the meal, the three of them strolled around the pedestrian street, and the white-haired ball even received a small Hom doll as a gift.

Finally they returned home together. Kiana saw a bedroom that looked similar to the one in the house she rented. There were many gift boxes marked for "Kiana Kaslana". They filled a corner of the room and were as high as half a wall.

This world is so strange... It feels like an illusion that only occurs after drinking strong alcohol... But all the details make Kiana feel that this place is not an illusion...

The image of the white-haired lady flashed through Qiana's mind. She took a deep breath, put Xilin on the ground, and said seriously: "Well, Xilin, I'm going to admit my mistake to my mother. Don't eavesdrop."

"Well, it's good to admit your mistakes and correct them!"

The purple-haired girl winked at her playfully: "Xilin is a good girl, Xilin is going to bed now."

"...Thank you, Sister Xilin."

Kiana smiled, rubbed the other person's head, watched the child run into the bedroom, then stood up and walked towards Luo Lin who was standing on the balcony.

"Ms. Cecilia..."

"What's wrong, Kiana?"

Luo Lin looked at Kiana, who was a little scared, and blinked.

When it really came to this, Kiana began to struggle a little, but she finally said, "Actually, I'm probably not your real daughter..."

"Who said it wasn't?"

"But...I obviously..."

Kiana didn't know how to tell her magical experience today. There were many words stuck in her throat, but she couldn't form them into words.

"Well, don't worry. After all, Cecilia Shaniat is indeed Siegfried Kaslana's wife, and they have a very, very cute daughter... that's you, Kiana."

Luo Lin touched her pocket and pulled out a photo. In the photo, Siegfried was holding Cecilia, who was wearing a white dress. Cecilia was holding little Kiana's head. The white-haired girl smiled brightly in the embrace of her parents.

- Sorry, Bianca, I'll lend you the photo for now. I will definitely take a family photo for you later!

Luo Lin looked at Kiana's face and rubbed her hair. The feeling was as good as always. She gently took Kiana's hand and held the white-haired girl in her arms.

"Qiana Kaslana, no matter what the situation, is Cecilia's most beloved daughter."

The white-haired ball stood there in a daze, his nose felt sore and tears began to fall.

"Mother……"

Fu Hua, floating in the air, pursed her lips and looked at the complex lines flickering slightly on Luo Lin's back, as well as the familiar aura of comrades coming from the girl, with a complicated look in her eyes.

——Cecilia, have you become a stigma?

But... this is at least much better than actually dying...

She chuckled and stroked [Yu Duchen]. She could feel the erosion of a certain quantum force gradually stagnated and it remained motionless quietly.

Keep struggling, keep struggling!

Luo Lin patted Kiana's back gently and could clearly feel her breathing gradually calming down. At least the wetness on her shoulders no longer increased. It seemed that the white-haired girl had adjusted her mentality.

"……Mother."

"Well, what happened?"

Luo Lin took out two pieces of paper and placed them in Kiana's palm. The white-haired ball rubbed her eyes and nose.

"I feel like I'm dreaming... but this dream is so real..." Kiana put her chin on Luo Lin's shoulder and asked softly, "Mom, do you know what's going on here?"

"Hmm... I probably know a little bit..."

Luo Lin thought for a moment and said bluntly: "In a sense, you are really dreaming, because this is actually an illusion created by the Key of God..."

"Illusion?! But I ate a lot and I'm still full."

Kiana was shocked and quickly raised her head to look carefully at Luo Lin's face. She blinked in surprise, pinched her thigh hard, and gasped in pain.

"Well, pain can't wake you up from the illusion created by the Key of God..."

"…What is the Key of God?"

Kiana asked, somewhat bewilderedly.

Luo Lin looked at the white-haired ball's face and pulled a stool over from the side. She patted the stool and motioned for the other party to sit down: "Qiana, I want to ask you first, do you know what [Honkai Impact] is?"

"Well, my dad seemed to have told me that... [Honkai] is an abnormal disaster that can occur in any corner of the world, causing, but not limited to, infecting wild animals or humans, causing mutations or death, and condensing things like Honkai beasts out of thin air to attack humans..."

"And the Kaslana family has a strong resistance to Honkai and a strong body. They are the knights who resist Honkai! Dad has been fighting for this world and fighting Honkai... So, I am looking for clues to Honkai. As long as I keep looking for Honkai, I will meet Dad one day."

"As for the rest... I'm not very clear. Maybe it's because I was injured when I was a child, so my memory of that time is not very clear. These are the only ones I remember."

Kiana's tone was relaxed, but it was hard for Luo Lin to imagine how a girl with only a few years of memory survived after being abandoned in Europe by Siegfried, and how she finally decided to travel around the world to find her father.

She rubbed the white-furred ball's face again, causing Kiana to tilt her head in embarrassment.

"Ah, Siegfried..."

Luo Lin cast his gaze towards the gradually darkening sky and streets. The sun had not yet completely disappeared, lighting up the distant sky in a fiery red.

It's almost night.

"To put it simply, Honkai will not only infect humans and create Honkai beasts, but large-scale Honkai will even produce a kind of existence called Herrscher. They are the most threatening manifestation of Honkai, and if used properly, they can easily destroy the world."

Kiana's eyes widened. "What?! I thought the collapse was just a natural disaster like a flash flood and mudslide... Is it really that terrible?"

"Kiana, don't rush into Honkai stupidly next time..." Luo Lin shook her head, "And the Key of God is a device created by humans in the previous era using the core of the Herrscher. Each of them has a magical function... The one that created this 'illusion' is the Key of God called [Key of Consciousness·Yu Duchen]."

Kiana always caught the key words in Luo Lin's words: "Pre-era?"

"Yes, this world was destroyed by Honkai once. The powerful Honkai and Herrscher destroyed the civilization of the last era. They also killed Herrscher during their resistance. They took out the Herrscher's core and created the Key of God... The humans of today are all descendants of the remaining fire of the humans of the last era."

"Honkai actually destroyed the world... Then dad is in great danger..."

There was obvious worry on Kiana's face, she clenched her fists, and a sense of urgency rose in her heart.

"It's okay. Siegfried is a very powerful warrior. At least ordinary Honkai will not pose much threat to him. Unless..."

Luo Lin looked at the street below the balcony. Sparse groups of people passed by with laughter and disappeared into the shadows of the buildings.

The girl frowned. She leaned on the balcony handrail and carefully observed the direction where the pedestrian disappeared. There was only darkness there, and nothing else was left.

No, where are the people? It's only been a few seconds? It's impossible to just walk through this shadow...

Luo Lin raised her head suddenly and saw that the sun's rays had completely disappeared, and the cold moonlight was shining on the city.

At this moment, dozens of clear quantum reactions appeared within Luo Lin's perception range, and there were even a similar number of...

"Honkaimon?"

Luo Lin couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She should have thought of it earlier - with her physique, if the two big guys didn't take action, it would be fine. But if they did, they would definitely appear in pairs!

Qiana also followed Luo Lin and leaned on the window railing, and asked in a low voice: "Mom? What's wrong?"

“…something is really wrong with this illusion, and it’s huge.”

Luo Lin stretched out her hand, and [Mimesis·Black Abyss White Flower] fell into her hand. The girl took out two pistols and a package of magazines from the system warehouse and threw them to Kiana.

“Eh!? What is this!?”

"Kaslana gun fighting, you should have learned it, right?"

Luo Lin asked as she looked at the Honkai beast that walked out from the shadow of the building.

Kiana naturally also saw the pink and white creature that was flashing with strange light. She grabbed the pistol, put the bag full of magazines across her body, and hurried to get familiar with the feel of the gun.

"Of course, watch mine."

"Before that...Xilin, mom and sister are going out for a night run, so you should just stay home and sleep well, okay?"
