Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

"But we are ultimately too naive and too weak."

"The naive are fooled by those cunning old men without realizing it, and the weak cannot change the terrible world even if they try their best."

"Go back now, goodbye."

Separated by icy bars, Karen knelt on the cold prison floor, her white Valkyrie attire clashing with the eerie surroundings.

A window on the wall was also blocked by an iron bar. Perhaps due to subconscious interference from the surrounding environment, Su Xin felt that the air flowing in was not fresh, but only heavy and oppressive.

Otto: "If you really want to use your precious life to enlighten those ignorant and cowardly people, even if you die, you may not be able to awaken them and create a tomorrow that belongs to everyone."

"I want you to live. As long as you live, I... I'm willing to give everything for you!"

Karen: "That's not worth it."

Otto: "It's worth it! Now it's just the two of us here, Karen. If you agree, I'll take you right away to a place where no one can find us, and we'll live like that for the rest of our lives, whether it's ordinary or commonplace. I'll make you happy every single day!"

Karen: "Living may be important, but is it really living if you betray your heart? I don't think that way of living is any more noble than death."

“Go back and tell Bishop Nicholas that Karen has refused his request and made her decision.”

“I cannot condone what Destiny has done. I despise the dark heart hidden beneath Destiny’s cloak of glory. I will never kneel to save my life. Karen Kaslana would rather die. I will fight, and I will only fight.”

Karen stared blankly at the ground, her voice gradually lowering, motionless, like a doll bound by threads and unable to move.

Otto didn't move either, his voice choked with sobs: "...I understand. Karen, I really understand."

Otto knelt on one knee, gripping the iron railing tightly with both hands. Karen looked down at the ground, while Otto stared intently at her.

“I respect your choice. Please reconsider. No, Apocalypse demands, Otto, I beg you.”

At this moment, Otto and Karen went through all the sad things that had happened in their lives.

Void Treasury, as the fourth person present—no, a person with wisdom, but not a thing—

The most fun right now is to enjoy the brilliant performance of Karen and Otto, two drama queens. Their embarrassing moments are absolutely unique and must be witnessed and recorded.

So happy, so very happy.

The Herald of Corruption has been resurrected, eager to regain her power and take revenge on the world that once brought her pain.

Oh, it doesn't matter at all.

Otto killed Chi Yuan, but he couldn't bring her back. He could only wait for Yu Duchen's power to dissipate before going to Shenzhou to take Chi Yuan away.

When Karen returned, she found Otto had just returned as well. After some discussion, they devised a reasonable plan based on Otto's carefree and easygoing personality.

The two are currently putting on an acting showdown.

Su Xinmeng.

Huh? Something happened? Karen is going to commit suicide again to prove her innocence?

Su Xin was shocked. She had finally managed to raise the white-haired dog, only to have the same mistake happen again.

Why wouldn't Otto stop her? Respecting her choice? You're kidding, Su Xin doesn't remember Otto respecting other people's choices.

No, no, where did things go wrong?

I'll be confused for a while, and then things will turn out differently?

Otto left the prison, saying meaningfully before departing, "Karen, I hope you can live."

Karen remained expressionless. "I've decided to die with pride. After my execution tomorrow, the Kaslana family entrusts you with their fate, Otto."

Su Xin: ?

Oh no, I must have made a mistake somewhere. I need to think about it. I think there was nothing wrong with my guidance. Otto has become more mature, and Karen, according to normal logic, shouldn't be so willful anymore.

Was Karen imprisoned, awaiting her fate to be executed?

Just now, Otto left with that look in his eyes. Did he truly respect Kallen's choice to let her be executed by fate?

Something happened? Something happened? Something happened?

Ok?

Su Xin noticed that Karen's soul was resting. Unlike Su Xin, he was smart and didn't rush to come out, since there was no urgent matter that required his attention.

Previously, because they hadn't noticed that Kallen had learned to feign sleep, she started communicating with the system without restraint, which led to conflicts.

Chapter 79 ichdich

I must never let this tragedy repeat itself.

Lychee Analysis! The current situation is that Bishop Nicholas of Destiny is going to execute Karen, just like in the original story.

What the hell? Does this mean all my previous efforts have been wasted?

Having been gone for so long, Alto should have already possessed the ability to seize destiny. With the help of the Void Treasury, the tragedy should not have been repeated.

Could it be that Otto would have to respect Karen's choice?

Respecting Karen's choice to die voluntarily, Su Xin did not believe Otto could say such a thing.

If a former comrade-in-arms were to voluntarily die to enlighten ignorant and backward ideas, Su Xin would cripple her before she died and then force her to live.

Yes, that's selfish.

I can sacrifice myself, but I can't care about the people I care about.

We have too little information at the moment; all we've learned from Karen and Otto's conversation is that Karen is to be executed tomorrow.

Then we'll just have to wait until tomorrow at the execution platform to observe them again.

If Karen is to repeat the tragedy

I don't care, I'll take action. I'll let fate know what violent aesthetics is.

As for Karen, she can live peacefully. The ten-year period is over, and she has control over her body.

You can forget about dying.

Su Xin is itching to fight.

He was a rebellious kid.

Living quietly in Yae Village for a year made me more relaxed and at ease, but that didn't mean I became docile.

On the contrary, Su Xin is now acting even more recklessly.

He doesn't advocate violence, but if he has to fight, Su Xin will beat the enemy to a pulp.

Justice? It's just a bigger fist than evil.

I don't have the memory of the period before Karen returned to her body. Hmm, let me first look at what happened during the time Karen returned to Europe.

Su Xin was about to peer into Karen's memories when she found herself with an unbearable headache and unable to recall Karen's memories from a year ago.

What's going on? I don't see it, something's not right, wait a minute?

Damn, I almost forgot. I used up the remaining time energy bar when I activated the time for Yae Sakura to bandage the wound.

In a short year, less than a day remains, so naturally, it cannot be traced back to its existence.

Life is tough, Su Xin sighed.

There's no way around it, let's just take it one day at a time. Here comes half a day's worth of Karen's memories.

Su Xin has become wiser now; she only expresses her thoughts, not her words.

First observe Karen's current state of mind and mental condition before deciding whether or not to go out and meet her.

If leaving can help Karen become more enlightened and mature, and stop her from doing those childish and foolish things.

That would allow her life to no longer be as tragic and full of setbacks as it was in the original story.

So, not coming out and quietly watching her live out her life is also a kind of gentleness, a benevolent lie.

Mei is right. We all live in a world of self-constructed lies to some extent. As long as the lies are buried, they are the only truth.

Appearing so abruptly before Karen might put her in a difficult position, leading her to once again embark on a path that doesn't belong to her.

A day before Su Xin entered Karen's room, Karen was leaning against the cold, dark wall.

In the deepest and darkest prison in the world, only a faint ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the ground, shining through the window and reaching Karen's feet.

It seems to foreshadow a dark and uncertain future.

Unlike other prisons, this place only has Karen. The noise doesn't belong to the prison here, but to the prison above. The liveliness also belongs to the prison here, to the highest level of human society.

"Phew, it feels a bit cold. It's okay, anyway, I can say goodbye to the world tomorrow. The future is so bright, but I can't reach my ideal destination."

"I'm sorry, Su Xin, I have to break my promise."

"I feel like I can't reach my ideal destination."

Karen adopted a haggard and dejected look, staring blankly at the ground.

Strangely, there were no squeaking rats in this dark and damp dungeon.

Do you know?

"After the failure of the Eastern Expedition, the Heavenly Mandate began to exploit the people to an extreme degree, and the interdependent society turned into a selfish society. Interpersonal relationships became increasingly tense, people generally lacked a sense of security, distrusted each other, and even believed that social chaos was related to the devil and witches. Therefore, whenever there was a disaster or accident, they would accuse others of being witches on trumped-up charges and use witchcraft incidents to explain why many misfortunes occurred in society."

“From top to bottom, all levels of society, whether secular government or church, are fanatically convinced that there are witches and sorcerers who practice witchcraft and take pleasure in harming people, and a large-scale witch hunt has begun.”

"In order to appease the emotions of the lower classes, the Heavenly Mandate began to arrest so-called wizards in large numbers, and then interrogated them using some unreasonable and cruel methods."

"To prove that some of the accused were witches, those in power even created disgusting witch experiments."

"You may not have heard, but one of the water experiments was that Destiny believed that witches always gave their souls to the devil Satan, so witches must weigh less than normal people. So people tied the defendants' hands and feet and put them in the water. Those who floated were witches, and those who sank were innocent."

"It's absurd! In its natural state, if you put it in dense water, how could it not float?"

Seemingly realizing this, Karen quickly added, "I didn't know about density before. Otto mentioned the experimental principle to me, and now it seems that we are not much different from the primitive people. We are just as self-righteous and just as stubbornly believe that the sky we see is the whole picture of the world."

"Once convicted of witchcraft, one would be bound to a cross, burned alive, and die a agonizing death."

“When I returned to Europe, I saw a heartwarming family. Their daughter was targeted by a nobleman who wanted to take her away. The girl resisted fiercely, but the nobleman immediately accused her of being a witch and forcibly took her away.”

"She was an ordinary girl who wouldn't offer her soul to a Satanic witch, yet she was involved in witch experiments."

"I saved her before she was taken to the execution ground. No one thought I was a witch, and the nobles of Destiny dared not accuse me of witchcraft."

"Do you remember when I was losing consciousness and my senses were being corrupted, you stepped forward and defeated that giant Honkai Beast?"

"Otto will record this event, writing down your heroic figure and magnificent achievements in elegant poetry."

"Your story is told, your battles are made into dramas and shown to everyone."

"Because of you, Karen Kaslana became a household name and a hero admired by thousands."

"Heroes don't fall for witches, especially since you saved people back then, they admire and worship you even more."

"No, those cunning foxes fabricated countless false crimes and pinned them on me. I saved the girl, but fate was cruel and convinced that I was personally bewitched by the devil Satan."

"The elders in the Church of Destiny use clumsy lies to deceive countless people."

“Bishop Nicholas, he used his divine influence to tell everyone: If I do not wail after I am burned out, then I am innocent. Those who make deals with the devil can never endure being burned alive and groaning in agony.”

"Isn't it ridiculous that such absurd lies are accepted by most people, who expect me to prove my innocence in this way?"

“Otto: Let the suspect prove his innocence, but not his guilt. It’s better to destroy fate than to let the suspect be proven guilty. Those fools, in order to get a reassuring answer, let the heroes who once protected them with their lives be engulfed in flames. Such people are not worth saving.”

"Actually, I'm scared too. The thought of flames slowly burning flesh and blood is terrifying. Even a completely innocent person would scream in agony in the flames."

"You want to save the world, and so do I, but I can't save everyone by myself, not even if I had the greatest power. I can only enlighten them and let them save the world."

"Isn't this just like how you let me live back then?"

"Tomorrow, I will be able to testify my innocence in the flames."

"If heaven and hell exist in the world, can we meet? I want to tell you that in person someday."

Karen sat on the ground, curled up, her arms wrapped around her legs, her ten snow-white, flawless fingers interlaced and overlapping, like the wind sweeping across a field of straw that never stops swaying.

A layer of moist mist shrouded her clear, clean blue eyes. Suddenly, the bright sun fell into the starry night through the mist, igniting the scattered starlight into a dazzling display of fireworks, as intense and brilliant as the daylight.

The flickering candlelight sent a gentle tremor through my heart.

"I"

Suddenly, Su Xin was pulled out of the past, her time energy bar completely emptied, making it impossible for her to continue watching.

This is outrageous! It's like watching a short story where the author keeps cutting off the suspenseful parts!

(Of course, it's also possible that the author himself didn't know where the chapter ended.)
