Bengtie, I have a Collapse simulator

Fu Hua had taught him, so Gu Che chose Kiana.

But there are two Kianas here? The difference is that one has brackets after the name and the other doesn't. Gu Che tried to communicate with the simulator, but the simulator said there was no problem.

[The information in brackets is not all due to low version issues. They will be fixed in the next update. ]

???

So it's not the latest version, right? What did you update? The simulator! But no matter how much Gu Che mocked and criticized him, the simulator was still oblivious to everything else and only wanted him to choose quickly.

There was no choice. Gu Che hesitated for a long time between the two Kianas, and finally chose the one without brackets.

[The main quest, Elegy for the Sinner, has been confirmed. The main quest will now begin.]

???

Before Gu Che could react, he suddenly felt dizzy and his consciousness sank.

......................

Shenzhou, Tianqiong City.

Dark clouds lingered in the dark sky, and deep and solemn broadcasts echoed in the streets. Tall buildings collapsed, wreckage collapsed on the ruins, and the flames of burning cars licked everything around. The evening breeze, mixed with people's crying and panic, swept across the area attacked by the Honkai beast, blowing up the girl's hat brim and a strand of white hair on her forehead.

[A collapse disaster is currently occurring in the northern part of Sky Dome City. Please evacuate the area immediately and go to the nearest shelter. Sky Dome patrols are rushing to the area as quickly as possible. Injured residents please try to find a safe area to hide. If you find traces of a collapse beast, immediately lower your voice and breathing rate to avoid attracting the beast's attention. ]

[Repeat, the northern part of Sky City is currently experiencing a collapse disaster, please evacuate the area immediately...]

Kiana was hiding in the alley, looking at the scene of the Honkai beast wreaking havoc outside. She gritted her teeth and wanted to rush up to help, but was stopped by Fu Hua's consciousness in her mind.

"Kiana, you can't touch Honkai energy anymore. Let's go. You can't do anything now."

The white-haired girl bit her lower lip tightly, hiding in the shadows, anxiously watching the mother and daughter who were directly exposed to the Honkai beast. In front of the hideous and terrifying tall Honkai beast, the mother and daughter had completely given up resisting, closed their eyes and hugged each other tightly, as if they were praying, or as if they had accepted this cruel reality.

Reality has never been a fairy tale, and any disaster may be preceded by the word "more".

If Kiana chooses to listen to Fu Hua and abandons the mother and daughter, then there will be only one ending for them - [Death].

People die little by little, first here, then there, step by step until it is finally completed. This is what Kiana once heard from a Shenzhou person at Fu Hua's place. It sounds very philosophical, but this principle is not very applicable in the face of a natural disaster like [Honkai].

In the face of [Honkai], the fittest will be eliminated and the strong will survive. The Honkai beast will give every loser a quick death equally. Of course, this is not mercy, it is cruel.

"I can't do it..." Kiana murmured, but she had already made up her mind. Her eyes were firm and her steps were firm. She fired both guns in her hands. While restraining the Honkai Beast, she rushed towards it and fought with the Honkai Beast using the Kaslana gun fighting technique that had been engraved in her bones.

"Run! Don't look back, I'll hold it back!"

The mother was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and ran out with her child. Kiana was relieved to see this. At this time, the second wave of Honkai Beast's attack had arrived. Kiana picked up a baseball bat she picked up and held her breath...

Suddenly, her consciousness became hazy and her head ached. Many memories that did not seem to belong to her poured into her mind frantically. When she came to her senses, the spear of the Honkai beast had already arrived in front of her.

There was no room or time to dodge, so Kiana could only hold the bat with her hands as best as possible to protect the most vulnerable part of her body. Then, the attack of the Honkai beast came as expected, and the huge impact force knocked Kiana directly away.

The girl's body hit the wall that had already collapsed, causing the broken wall to collapse directly, and dust flew everywhere. The sudden pain made Kiana's consciousness a little blurred, and the memories that kept coming into her head were constantly impacting Kiana's nerves that had long been unable to support, and she fell into a coma.

Before she fainted, Kiana saw the huge Honkai beast's eyes flashing with strange purple light in the dust, and the sharp spear in its hand flashing with cold light...

She's probably going to die, Kiana thought.

...............................

Gu Che stood in the center of the Honkai explosion. The ground was covered with the remains of various Honkai beasts and all around him were flames burning in the ruins. The firelight reflected on Gu Che's face, revealing his sorrow at the moment.

Here, the collapse just broke out, and it has been a while. The residents here may have escaped, or become dead soldiers, or those with less luck may have been killed by the collapse beasts.

Now that the remaining Honkai beasts had been dealt with by Gu Che, there was no sound around him. The shouts of the victims, the roars of the Honkai beasts, nothing could be heard.

It was as quiet as death, and you could even feel the gods looking at you arrogantly, with the flow of the wind, the changes of the clouds, the rustling of the weeds and old trees, the vastness of the sky and the evenness and length of time...

Gu Che sighed. He really just wanted to take a mission to see what it was about. Who knew he would be teleported directly to it...

Putting the thoughts behind him, Gu Che disappeared from the spot.

Then I saw that scene.

A fierce Honkai beast and a lovely white-haired girl. The white-haired girl was leaning against a collapsed wall and was already unconscious. The Honkai beast opposite her had a strange purple light flashing in its eyes, and the spear in its hand was emitting a cold light, stabbing at the unconscious girl.

There was no need to think about it. Gu Che directly summoned the Spear of the Sub-Sky and pierced the Honkai beast through the heart. The beast then kicked its legs and died.

Gu Che then waved his hand, and the body of the Honkai beast flew up into the air and was thrown ten meters away. He walked to the unconscious girl and shook her gently, trying to wake her up.

"Are you okay?" Gu Che asked softly, but Kiana, who was in a coma, could not hear him. Her eyes were still closed and she looked painful.

I was injured, and it was quite serious, but it seemed to be more than just an injury.

It's a pity that he is not Otto, and he doesn't have the Void Wanzang that can mimic the black abyss and white flowers; nor is he the Herrscher of Reason, and he doesn't have the ability to rub the Key of God with his hands...

The Herrscher of the Void's ability is certainly convenient, but when it comes to problems like treatment, it's clearly a bit overwhelmed.

Just as Gu Che was still thinking about how to deal with Kiana's injuries, the sound of metal hitting the ground in the distance drew his attention back.

That's the Sky Patrol.

Gu Che frowned slightly. He didn't want to expose his whereabouts, especially since he was unfamiliar with the place.

After thinking about it, Gu Che simply used his spatial ability and disappeared from the spot with Kiana.

Chapter 84: Dream, Confused Kiana and Anxious Queen

The girl once heard someone say that when a person is dying, everything they have experienced in the past will flash before their eyes like a kaleidoscope.

But now, there was only darkness before her eyes.

"Shouldn't I have been pierced by the spear of the Honkai Beast?" - The girl's mind was in chaos

They should be like those victims who could do nothing but run away and cry out, watching the Honkai beasts fall from the sky, being pierced, trampled, and slaughtered...

The girl wondered in her heart: "Why am I still alive?"

But she soon had the answer.

——Because he had committed too many sins, he needed to live and accept the punishment of fate.

——Do you think you can resist the Herrscher personality, and think you still have a chance to save everything?

- Or, is there still a last glimmer of fantasy in my heart, hoping that all this is just a nightmare, and everything will return to normal after the classroom bell rings?

She had no way of knowing.

There is only darkness before my eyes, an endless darkness...

Her consciousness seemed to be pulled by something inexplicable, as if a pair of invisible hands stretched out from the darkness below her, pulling and dragging her, trying to pull her in and make her sink.

Kiana gritted her teeth, trying to control her mind that was about to lose control, and recalled everything worth remembering in the past...

Finally, the memories came to her in pieces...

Kiana seemed to have had a very distant dream. In the dream, she was lying in a strange yet familiar little house. Her consciousness was a little hazy. Kiana blinked and looked at everything around her.

The room was not big, but small and exquisite. There was a small bear doll placed by the bed, a painting blooming in a potted plant on the windowsill, lavender curtains, a white wall that was a little yellow but very clean... and a simple drawing on the wall, which showed a woman with her arms wide open, holding a little girl with purple hair and a little boy with black hair, all three of them had big smiling faces drawn on them. Although it was very simple, it was very warm.

Kiana suddenly thought of her days in St. Freya, where there was the strict yet gentle teacher Himeko, the old-fashioned yet kind class monitor Fu Hua, Mei who could cook, Bronya who had a blank expression but a rich inner world, and the short principal.

Unfortunately, nothing can go back to the way it was. Kiana couldn't help but feel lost.

She used to have such a life, but...

"What's wrong? Xilin, are you feeling unwell?" A familiar voice interrupted Kiana's loss. She turned her head and saw that there was someone in the room.

The black-haired boy sat on the edge of the bed, holding a fairy tale book in his hand, looking at Kiana with undisguised concern in his eyes.

Kiana didn't say anything for a while. She looked at the stick drawing on the wall again, and the boy's appearance overlapped with the one in the drawing.

Although one of them was a high-definition version and the other had extreme lines, Kiana was indeed recognized.

"Brother." Almost instinctively, Kiana called out the boy's name the first time she saw him.

Kiana's pupils shrank slightly. The call just now was not her intention at all. She didn't know the boy in front of her at all. But her body seemed to be more honest than her. She let out a sound at the first sight of the boy.

"Xilin, are you feeling unwell?" The black-haired boy continued to ask with concern, even closing the storybook he was reading halfway. He stood up from the stool beside the bed, walked directly to Xilin's bed and sat down, with confusion and concern in his eyes.

Hearing the boy's caring call again, Kiana did not feel any sense of relief. Some astonishment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

Xilin?

???

She was wandering in Sky City, fighting with Honkai beasts, trying to save as many people as possible, and trying to wash away the sins she had committed in this way...

But after fainting in that battle, Kiana's consciousness was in chaos. When she regained consciousness, she had already arrived at this place.

This is a cozy little house. Whether it is the interior configuration or the young man reading a fairy tale right in front of you, everything seems so beautiful.

But the more this happened, the more Kiana felt a huge sense of disharmony. It was like a prisoner about to be executed suddenly receiving an imperial decree of amnesty from the emperor.

They may be shocked or surprised, but their initial reaction will definitely be confusion. They will wonder, is this true?

The huge contrast between reality and the current situation made Kiana's brain freeze for a moment, and she didn't even notice the name "Sirin" from the boy's mouth at the first time.

Kiana finally noticed this problem. Her current identity might not be herself...but why?

"Xilin?" Seeing that Kiana didn't respond, the boy's worry grew even stronger. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Kiana's eyes: "Come back to your senses!"

Qiana was startled, but quickly recovered and said to Gu Che with a smile, "Brother, I'm here."

The boy's name was Gu Che, a name that suddenly popped up in Kiana's mind.

Is this Xilin’s memory?

I don't know what's going on, but... this is an opportunity.

Perhaps I can use this to find a way to suppress the Herrscher of the Void's personality, Kiana thought to herself.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Che was relieved to see that Kiana was fine and asked with a smile.

"No, I was just a little dazed just now." Kiana shook her head, and her right fingers unconsciously hooked a strand of her hair. Kiana pretended not to care and looked at it, and found that it was indeed purple hair.

This made Kiana more certain of her guess.

"Brother, I'm a little hungry..." Kiana said suddenly.

"Didn't we just have dinner?" Gu Che frowned slightly, and in the face of Kiana's somewhat uneasy eyes, he finally sighed, reached out his hand and fumbled in the bag, and took out a bulging object wrapped in newspaper.

Under Kiana's slightly curious gaze, Gu Che slowly opened the newspaper, and the contents inside finally revealed their true colors - it was half a loaf of bread.

"I didn't expect that the midnight snack that my brother worked so hard to save up would be gone before it could even get warm." He shook his head with regret as he spoke, but there was no hesitation in his hands as he directly fed the small piece of bread to Kiana's mouth.

"Come on, Xilin." He smiled, his smile was as gentle as spring breeze, and the positive emotions revealed in his clear eyes made people feel no disgust at all.

Kiana opened her mouth subconsciously, and then a piece of bread was brought in. After chewing it, the aroma from the bread filled her entire mouth. Although the texture was a bit rough, it was delicious.

Kiana couldn't help but chew faster. She hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time...

Wandering in Sky City is not easy. Kiana has no identity and can only be regarded as an illegal resident. In this technologically advanced city, Kiana has a problem surviving on her own. It is even difficult for her to get enough food, not to mention the taste of the food...

Kiana no longer felt as happy when eating as before. She only ate to fill her stomach, replenish her energy, and then kill more Honkai beasts and save more people. That was all.

"It's too dry. Wait a minute, brother, I'll get you some water." Gu Che stood up with a smile. Without listening to the girl's response, he picked up the water cup on the table and walked outside. He looked cheerful and his steps were brisk.

Kiana listened carefully to Gu Che's footsteps, and waited until his footsteps faded away before she began to analyze the current situation.

She stood up, put on the slippers beside the bed, and walked to the mirror not far away to look at herself. Although Kiana had been mentally prepared, she was still surprised when she saw her face in the mirror.

Long purple hair, golden pupils...

This is not unrelated to the Sirin in Kiana's memory, it can only be said that it is exactly the same.

"Xilin..." She couldn't help but murmur in her mouth, feeling a little strange.

Logically speaking, when he was knocked unconscious by the Honkai beast, that was the best time for the Herrscher of the Void to take advantage of the situation. Even with Fu Hua's help, it should not be difficult for the Herrscher of the Void to seize control of her body.

And the consciousness of her replica named K423, whose consciousness was taken away, should also sink from then on. From then on, there would be no more fake Kiana Kaslana in the world, but only one Herrscher of the Void.

That's how it should be.

This may be the ending of K423. After all, she was unable to resist the erosion of Honkai energy and her body was taken over by the Herrscher's consciousness.

Just like what the Herrscher said, she was just a vessel for the other party to be resurrected.

but why...

Kiana looked at herself in the mirror, and the purple-haired girl's golden eyes also showed a puzzled look.

Would she be here? As a loser, shouldn't she be greeted by a cold, temperatureless, infinite darkness without the concept of time and space?

But why is she here? Is this another trick of the Herrscher of the Void?
