Honkai, they all became my stigmata

"But, no matter what, if you want to cross this place and enter the depths, you need to go through trials to lift the cognitive barrier."

This is not something that he can do if he wants to let Chen Yu go there. This cognitive barrier will block anyone who tries to enter the sea.However, it stands to reason that the person in front of him is fully capable of directly crossing the cognitive barrier and entering the depths.

"So, visitor, do you want to participate in the trial?"

Joachim asked.

"No, no, no, I don't need it."

Chen Yu waved his hand.

"I'll just wait here for Bronya to come back."

Now that Bronya has already gone to take subjects one, two and three to get a driver's license, he is not in a hurry, just wait here.

At the same time, his consciousness mapping system is searching for information in the nearby area. It has to be said that besides allowing him to cross the timeline, the ability of this system is also very convenient for finding people...

Well, in a sense, it can even be anti-tracking...

After all, all the information around him will be exposed to his system without any disguise.

It's a pity that at this position, he still can't detect information about Qiyana, and of course there is no existence of the female version of Su. If he wants to find Qiyana, he may have to continue to go deep into the Quantum Sea.

The three options that appeared on the system panel were Walter Yang, Bronya Zajcek, and... Xier Fleur.

"...Speaking of which, it seems that Xi'er is in the world bubble of the three trials?"

As long as one of them is selected, a consciousness map can be constructed.

While waiting for Bronya's return, he planned to perform a mind mapping.

[Are you...going to leave? 】

Sirin's voice sounded beside Chen Yu's ears.

"Ah."

This is the first time that Chen Yu has activated consciousness mapping when there are other consciousnesses in the stigmata space. According to what Su said before, except for extremely special circumstances, it may be difficult for a stigmata consciousness like Sirin to be compared with the mapped one. He communicates directly.

【Then... I'll wait for your return. 】

"Don't worry, I'll be back when I go."

Between Bronya and Xier, Chen Yu pondered for a long time, and finally chose Xier.

[Constructing consciousness mapping...]

[The mapping target has been linked, the current linked target: Seele Fleury]

Will he return to the orphanage in the ice and snow?Or is it going to start an endless exploration with Xier who is lost in the quantum sea?

For the nodes related to Xier, he can only think of these two points for a moment, or in other words, is it the future he doesn't know that grew up safely in the world line after the disappearance of Sirin?

However, none of these three is actually the answer...

[The mapping link has been established and is entering the mapping route]

...It was an incomparably "long" journey that even Chen Yu herself had never expected.

[Mapping Node: The Sixth Collapse]

Chapter 8

hello, seele, thanks, and then...

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a long time, or maybe it was just a moment, when Chen Yu's consciousness returned again, he felt that he seemed to touch something.

The touch of another person.

"Ah ah!"

"...!"

The girl's short voice brought Chen Yu's consciousness back to reality in an instant.

"Uh……"

As if reborn, Chen Yu's heart was beating violently, and he took a big mouthful of bitter air, trying to relieve the lingering feeling of boredom in his chest.

"Tsk, this time, why is it so uncomfortable..."

Chen Yu thought a little depressed.

He felt a little tired for no reason, and he didn't even want to open his eyes, so he just closed them and lay down... Uh, judging from this feeling, this place should be grass.

Through the experience accumulated from the previous mapping with Sirin, Chen Yu understands that the ability of consciousness mapping has side effects.

Every timeline jump will make him leave the original world, and the longer he stays in the [here] world, the more time he will need to recover his self-cognition after returning to the original world, or That is, the cognition of the intrinsic world.

It was precisely because of this that since he returned from Sirin's world line last time, he hadn't performed consciousness mapping again for a long time, except for Su's time in England.Besides, the ability acquired from Sirin also takes some time to master and practice.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, you look uncomfortable."

When Chen Yu closed her eyes and pondered alone, the girl's timid voice came from the side.

"..."

He opened his eyes and found a young girl sitting beside him.

It was a young girl with black and bluish shoulder-length short hair and snow-white skin. Her sea-like blue pupils revealed her worry about Chen Yu at this moment.

"Sorry, hello, um... I'm fine."

Chen Yu sat up temporarily.

When I opened my eyes, I met the key person. The cute girl next to me was Xier no matter how I looked at it.

"But, you look uncomfortable..."

The girl still asked worriedly.

"...Probably just sleeping too long."

Chen Yu looked around while answering this question.He was very concerned about one thing, where is... where?

This is a park with lush green grass, and he and Xier are located on this grass.The surrounding environment is quite unfamiliar to him, but at least, judging from the climate and vegetation, this place should not be the freezing place in Siberia...

"I saw you lying here sleeping alone for a long time, and I was a little worried, so I came forward to see you."

Xi'er explained the reason why she appeared beside Chen Yu, and then asked in a hesitant tone.

"So, are you... a homeless person?"

"……Yes."

Dust Feather replied with a nod.

Without knowing where this place is, he is indeed a wanderer with nowhere to go

"that……"

The girl hesitated for a long time, then looked Chen Yu up and down for a long time before she made up her mind and spoke.

"If you have nowhere to go, why don't you come to our orphanage first?"

"..."

She is really an overly kind little girl, sending out such an invitation to a stranger... In case she gets caught by a wicked person...

Of course, Chen Yu has no reason to refuse, and besides, he is not a villain.

Since this is the timeline related to Xi'er, it's right to have a relationship with Xi'er first, and for the future, let's take one step at a time.

"Thank you for your assistance. My name is Chen Yu. May I ask your name..."

Although I already know her name, I still have to go through the process.

"Well...you can call me Xier."

The girl smiled and said her name.

Chen Yu stood up and followed Xi'er through the streets and alleys.He paid attention to the surrounding scenery, and he could tell that this was a very prosperous city.

However, it's not Tianqiong City, Changkong City, Fog City, or Salt Lake City...

In short, it doesn't match up with the large cities he knows in memory.

Only the power flowing in the two stigmata on his back reminded him that this is indeed the world of reflection.

On the way to follow Xi'er, Chen Yu also tried to communicate with the girl in the stigmata.

"Sirene, can you hear me?"

【…】

Fortunately, it wasn't just a one-way call. Chen Yu could still vaguely feel Xilin's existence, but it was indeed as Su said, there was no way to directly communicate with her in a normal state, only from this faint Sensing the mood of the other party during the contact.

Perhaps, under certain circumstances, such as Su's mental intervention, normal communication can be achieved...

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Chen Yu conveyed this to the girl, but even so, he still sensed the undiminished concern from the girl from that side.

He followed Seele towards a certain place in the city, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed from a bustling downtown to a desolate place.

"There, there is our orphanage."

Pointing to a certain desolate and dilapidated yard ahead, Xi'er said to Chen Yu.

Although they were far apart, the sound of children playing and lively in the courtyard could already be heard.

"...It doesn't look very safe here."

"This way, it's actually okay, but if you go further to the east, if you reach Twilight Street, there will be..."

"..."

Wait, what did Xier just say?

He seemed to hear something extraordinary.

"Xie'er, I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, can you repeat it again?"

"Huh? I mean, going east from this city is a place called Twilight Street."

"Just to be on the safe side, Xi'er, I want to ask one more..."

Chen Yu pressed her head and asked in a daze.

At this moment, a calm singing sounded in the orphanage and reached the two people standing at the door.

"? Oh~ my love, may you and I never part?

?Oh~ my love, may time last forever...?"

Probably some naughty child turned on the record player that he picked up from nowhere, and the sound that came out of it was as sweet as the sounds of nature.

It wasn't until the end of the song that Xi'er, who was intoxicated by it, suddenly realized, and said to Chen Yu with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry... what did you ask just now?"

"Hmm... that... who is the singer of this song?"

Chen Yu originally wanted to ask some other questions, but this question might also give him an answer.

"Eden, it's an artist named Eden."

The girl replied with a hint of longing.

"……All right."

Chen Yu finally confirmed the fact.

Apparently—

The timeline he arrived at was not the current civilization, but... 5 years ago.
