Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

This kind of humanity may be the reason why Alicia is happy and willing to sacrifice for it...

“o(╥﹏╥)o, this is too cruel… Why did this happen? It’s too cruel.”

A pink bullet screen floated across the screen...

At this moment, Alicia was really hit by the heart-wrenching tram problem in front of her.

"This...ah, I don't know what to say, but I feel...never mind, I don't feel that way anymore."

"From all accounts, this woman really loves her children. Haha, what an unimaginable reversal... The choice she made eventually made her a Herrscher who fights for humanity..."

In the live broadcast room, comments from the audience floated across.

At this moment, everyone knew very well what Alexandra's final outcome would be.

She was doomed to die.

However, she clearly had a chance to survive... and she had clearly advised Yutu to live well before.

But in the end, for the sake of the children...

The mother was determined to die.

[Misterine] did not refute this. From her point of view, Alexandra's attitude towards the child and her attitude towards Alexandra were completely consistent.

[[Stigmata]...Since you can wake it up, you can also put it to sleep again, right?]

At this moment, Yutu inevitably encountered the trolley dilemma of whether to save the big one or the small one.

She wanted to end the story that hadn't started yet, but Alexandra chose to end her own story and let the child survive.

It must be said that in Yutu's opinion, this choice is too unwise and not worth it...

As a non-human, she couldn't really understand the reason behind this.

But as a human being, Alexandra chose the worst path for her...

Of course, Yutu was reluctant about this.

So, she made one last attempt—trying to remind Alexandra that even if the child was born, he might not have a good environment to grow up in.

In this bitterly cold and cruel place, it was even a question whether she could survive.

Not to mention, what kind of path will a child who grows up in such a harsh environment take...

After personally pushing countless lives to death, she will never let go of this only hope before her easily - to her, to [Misterine], it is a piece of driftwood for the drowning man.

She couldn't allow the other party to embark on the path to death...even though she had brought death to countless people before.

[…Alexandra Pavlovna Zaychek. We see the world in very different ways, so I am not going to refute your ideas.]

[So... I will use [human] concepts to clarify the pros and cons for you.]

Then, Yutu expressed his judgment.

Although she was reluctant to make cruel assumptions, this world was not a beautiful place.

[That child might fall into the hands of a gang and be trained to be an emotionless killer. After completing only two missions, he would have to die in a hail of gunfire.]

The words that Hato used to dissuade Alexandra eventually became an accurate prophecy of Bronya's future.

[Or maybe, she accidentally came into contact with Honkai, and although she escaped the bad luck by luck, she was left with permanent disability and pain in her body, and spent the rest of her life in despair.]

[…If you give her a life filled with nothing but endless suffering, how will she feel then?]

After listening to Yutu's statement, Alexandra smiled.

[...You are right, no one wants to live only for pain. But maybe...when I can't hold on any longer, someone will treat her like a family member.]

[Or, when she grows up, she will meet a few friends who are willing to give their true love and guide her on the right track to find what she loves. ]

[If everything is lucky...she will find her own interest and make it her life's work. ]

If Hato predicted Bronya's miserable childhood, then Alexandra predicted Bronya's present after she had escaped from her childhood.

And just after making her choice, Alexandra told Yutu about the past of the land.

On the monument to the dead soldiers, there is an inscription:

[We lie here because we chose not to live. That would bring shame upon the land that gave birth to us.]

[Life, of course, cannot be lost easily. But young people have no worries—and we happen to be young.]

[Misterlin] I understand what this means. Life and death, in the final analysis, are often just a matter of momentary impulse.

Life finds it difficult to find its own meaning - just like the lives that she has deprived of everything.

But because of this...she also believes that talking lightly about life and death is nothing but a foolish act that wastes the precious gifts of nature.

Having said that, Yutu could no longer persuade herself to go her own way, and finally she made Alexandra's stigma fall asleep as she wished.

In response, Yutu showed a painful expression.

But Alexandra smiled and comforted her.

"I hope that one day when you look back on what you did today, you will feel more...proud."

"You stood against life, but that was not your intention. At least you did it like a real human being [to respect life]."

Although Yutu still couldn't understand, she didn't intend to object.

Just before leaving, Alexandra expressed her wish to discuss one more thing with her - her epitaph after her death.

[[Venice is no longer the same, and the best Greek islands are sinking at an accelerated rate. But it is the possession, not the preservation, that is worth cherishing. ]]

[——After Kokolia and I buried Alexei's pistol, I found this poem and wanted to use it as an epitaph for myself in the future.]

[However, after careful consideration, I'm afraid not many people will remember me, and these words seem too self-indulgent... so forget it. ]

However, just as Alexandra was about to voice out her new idea...Hato was pulled back into the imaginary space.

Three months later, the disturbance of imaginary numbers once again released her back to the world of real numbers. It was as if fate was deliberately mocking her that the familiar Siberian snowfield was now being decorated by life into a colorful paradise.

It was late summer, and the forest she passed through was dead silent.

Afterwards, Hato tried to find Alexandra, but unfortunately she returned in vain.

However, she would not give up.

Soon after—on the coast of the Arctic Ocean.

On the outskirts of the small town of Jixi, the sacrificial site of a branch base of the World Serpent.

The dark corridor twists and turns every 100 steps. Since its construction, there has never been an uninvited visitor here.

——Until this day.

[…Oh? You actually came to see me on your own initiative?]

The person who said this was a gray snake holding an umbrella.

[Or rather...it's really unexpected that you're willing to leave the Ural Mountains.]

Then, the gray snake began to guess Yutu's intentions.

He guessed it as he wished, but he was not interested in the [transaction], but he was willing to [help].

Since then, more than a year has passed quietly.

Autumn leaves and then returns - the most ruthless and kindest thing about [the law] is that it repeats itself over and over again and never changes.

As for the human being she wanted to find...

...

......

As for the human she wanted to find, all she saw was a cold tombstone. Apart from his full name, there was not even a blessing on the simple tombstone.

The only thing that could comfort people was a bunch of pure white flowers decorating the grave, which obviously did not look like the work of the gray snake.

——She wanted to write something for her on the tombstone.

But no matter what, she still couldn't come up with the right words. She finally realized...they had only met for a little over three days.

After waiting for a long time, the gray snake spoke.

[How...it's been three hours, are you really not going to say anything? It's very windy here, and my umbrella is not as durable as you think. Most of the time it's just a decoration to highlight my temperament.]

"Uh... Gray Snake's words are really..."

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Kiana couldn't imagine that in such a situation where the dead were the most important, Gray Snake could actually come up with such a darkly humorous remark.

"It does seem that the sad atmosphere has been diluted a little. Maybe he is trying to comfort Yutu?"

A pink bullet screen floated across the screen...

Obviously, Alicia was also surprised by Gray Snake's dark and humorous words.

"Is there such a comfort? But it does dilute the sad atmosphere."

"Haha, pretty impressive, right? But this gray snake... well, it's indeed a more interesting individual."

In the live broadcast room, comments about Gray Snake from the audience floated by.

Of course, the gray snake on the screen would not know how they evaluated themselves.

In comparison, he cares more about the thoughts of people around him.

......——Is this the person you found for me?

She didn't say anything, but everyone knew where her dissatisfaction was directed.

【I have tried my best.】

Without waiting for Yutu to speak, the gray snake started to explain.

[When you proposed the deal to me, she was already dead, so it took me so long.]

[It is easy to find a person, but being alive is a flaw. But it is not the same with tombstones.

As you can see, everything has been finalized. 】

The Gray Snake easily brings Alexandra's story to a close.

He didn't care about the past and present of the person in the tombstone. After all, he had seen a similar past countless times.

Therefore, he was already accustomed to such suffering.

But Hato is different.

——This matter has not been concluded yet.

[Ah... I understand. That child, right?]

Before Yutu could say anything, the gray snake answered what she was thinking.

[——She is not buried here. Don't worry, I always finish what I started. I have found out some information about the child's whereabouts.]

[It is said that on the day the child was born, the mother cried alone for a whole afternoon, as if she was feeling sad for many people.]

Gray Snake calmly told the story of what happened after Alexandra gave birth to her daughter.

And this finally successfully touched the most tender string in Yutu's heart.

[…She values ​​commitment.]

[Very good, you finally spoke. So... do you want that child to appear in front of us, or disappear in the crowd? If it's the former, I can continue to do you some favors.]

After hearing what Gray Snake said, Yutu could no longer sit still.

[…She’s still alive?]

Chapter 498 "The Ruler of Reason is nothing more than this." "The Stigma Project is nothing more than this"

Looking at it now, what Yutu said is really unnecessary.

After all, Bronya is still alive and well, and she has been defeated so many times and experienced so many life-and-death games.

Isn't she still alive and well?

Of course, this is from today's perspective.

If she were to look at it from Yutu's perspective at the time, she would still feel that the probability of this child surviving was low, and even if he survived, it was an extremely unlikely event that he could live long.
