39. Xilin's Resurrection

"Hmm~~~~ I've also cleared this game..."

Earth.

Destiny Headquarters, the last day of summer vacation.

Sitting alone in front of the computer in her room, Bianca took off her headphones and looked at the game settlement screen on the computer. She suddenly felt lonely. She turned around a few times in the chair, then stood up and walked out of the room, then jumped back to the first floor in two or three steps.

Hearing the footsteps, Vita, who was watching TV in the living room, turned her head and said, "What's wrong, Bianca? What are you doing down here?"

"The game is over, come down and get something to drink."

Bianca took out a can of iced cola from the refrigerator in the kitchen, took a sip, and then came to the sofa where Vita was sitting and lay down: "What are you watching, Vita? Is it this season's new show?"

"Well, the new mecha series released by Anti-Entropy is pretty good."

"Hmm~~~~Sister Vita, doesn't this mecha pilot look a bit like my brother?"

Bianca looked at the character on the screen and suddenly said this, while Vita was slightly stunned: "Like a tiger? No? If I have to say, it's just that they both have blonde hair... Bianca, you wouldn't hallucinate that he is your brother, right?"

"You miss him that much?"

"Ah? I wasn't thinking about him!"

Shaking the Coke can in her hand, Bianca showed some displeasure and arrogance on her face: "A stupid brother who went out for the whole summer but didn't even call me back, only someone as serious as my sister would miss him, right? I don't miss him at all."

"Yeah, yeah, you don't miss him." Vita smiled and perfunctorily replied, "But you definitely miss the food he cooks, right?"

"That's true."

Bianca took another sip of Coke. "Although the takeout is indeed delicious, and you and Sister Amber's cooking skills are also very good, and Sister Jizi occasionally makes some spicy dishes to improve the taste, but after all, brother's cooking is still the best. Hey, Sister Vita, when do you think brother will be back? It's been almost two months."

Yes, two months.

Almost two months have passed since Xia Chuanhu said he would be away for a while. The summer vacation that had just begun when he left is now coming to an end. Tomorrow will start the new semester of the Destiny Valkyrie Training Center.

But at this critical juncture, Xia Chuanhu, the only teacher of Tianming's magic, showed no signs of returning.

Hearing this, Vita couldn't help but smile softly: "You still say you don't miss him?"

"I, I really don't miss my brother!" Bianca tilted her head and looked directly at the ceiling. "It's just that my sister would come to ask me every two or three days whether my brother has come back. I'm asking for my sister."

"Come to think of it, Kiana has been in the Southeast Asia branch for two months. When I had a video call with her before, she seemed to have completely gotten used to it over there. I don't know if she will be able to get used to life in our family when she comes back." Vita sighed.

Bianca spread her hands and said, "You are just worrying about nothing, Sister Vita. My sister is very adaptable, and with her self-disciplined and almost self-abuse training method, I think it doesn't matter where she lives, as long as she can exercise."

Bianca trembled a little when she thought of her sister's super high-intensity exercise method. After practicing for a few days, she almost collapsed.

"Then why don't you learn from your sister?" Vita asked, "I heard that the intensity of the Honkai incident has increased a lot in the past two months. Kiana is very active in the Southeast Asian branch and has even killed two emperor-level Honkai beasts alone. The forums of Tenmi are full of rumors that she is about to become the next S-level Valkyrie."

"But Bianca, you've been wasting your time since you came back from your internship. Are you really not going to work hard?"

"Of course I'm working hard! Every morning I'll conscientiously complete the physical training list that my brother assigned me!"

"Then just play for a day~~~" Vita poked Bianca's forehead with a smile, "You~~~ If you keep slacking off like this, when Tiger comes back next time and finds that you are still so weak, who knows how he will deal with you. Are you really planning to take advantage of the fact that he is not at home to talk to me and slack off all the time?"

Bianca covered her forehead and stepped back a step or two, shrinking her neck: "Sister Vita, why are you becoming like your period... I can learn it myself, don't worry, I'm a genius, I can learn anything at once!"

"Then I'll look forward to you getting full marks on the test after school starts~~~"

"Well--"

Bianca was speechless for a moment, and her face was visibly guilty. She raised her head and drank the Coke in her hand in one gulp, then ran back to the second floor, leaving only a sentence, "I'm going back to read!"

Looking at her hurriedly running away, Vita sighed helplessly and placed her hand gently on her chest.

The strange throbbing still lingered in her chest, taking a long time to dissipate.

(It’s been going on for a month... How could you let that Suo stay with you for so long? What on earth are you planning to do, Tiger?)

(Please don't let anything happen to you.)

----------------

“Haa ...

Returning to her room, Bianca threw herself on the bed and let out a long sigh.

"Even Sister Vita has started to become nagging... I can't stay in this house anymore."

"I felt pretty good before."

These two months were very torturous and strange for Bianca.

Before she left home to intern at the Southeast Asia branch, the family was quite lively and happy, but when she came back, she felt that the family had changed a lot.

Vita was the only one who greeted her at home.

Because of work, Ji Zi had already lived in the research institute for several days, and only came back for three days in the following month.

Uncle Siegfried was busy with field work like Ragnar, Rita and the others. In the past two months, the strength of Honkai around the world had increased for some reason. Two rare Emperor-level Honkai beasts appeared in Southeast Asia in the past two months.

Aunt Theresa was also busy at the Far East branch.

In addition, there was no sign of Xiachuan Hu coming back... A house that was originally crowded, but in the past month, only Vita and Bianca have been living there. It was fine at the beginning, but in the past two days, Bianca felt that the house was a little empty.

(Brother, when will you come back?)

Bianca grabbed the pillow of Houmu on the bed and held it in her arms. She curled up her legs and rubbed Houmu's face. The image of her brother appeared in her mind.

Come to think of it, it seems that everything started when Xiachuan Hu and Vita set out to join the Golden Courtyard trip?

"Well......"

Bianca instinctively felt that there seemed to be something wrong here.

And it was at this time——

[You seem to be troubled, you useless guy]

It seemed like a young girl's voice suddenly rang in Bianca's mind.

Bianca was so scared that she jumped out of the bed!

"Who? Who's talking!"

[Me? I am you]

In the nearby window, Bianca was surprised to find that her reflection in the mirror had moved on its own, as if it had a will of its own, and turned to meet her gaze.

The pair of completely different orange eyes made Bianca's heart tremble.

[This is the first time we meet, right? Of course, for you.]

【I am you】

[I am the real you, the real you - Bianca Kaslana]

40. I tempt myself

Bianca felt like she might be hallucinating from playing games for an entire afternoon.

There was another me in the mirror, and I said she was the real me?

"...It's not a good idea to break a mirror, right?"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Bianca pondered the feasibility of breaking the mirror to break the illusion. She had seen similar scenes in horror movies before, where the ghost inside would disappear as long as the mirror was smashed. But in more horror movies, doing so seemed to only release the ghost?

In the mirror, hearing Bianca's mumbling, Celine, who claimed to be the real Bianca, smiled contemptuously.

[Do you really think that you can get rid of me by smashing the mirror? ]

[I am you, you are me, you can never get rid of me]

Starting from the second half of the sentence, Xilin's voice came from all directions, and her figure suddenly disappeared from the mirror, and then appeared on the ceiling, on the computer screen, and even appeared in front of Bianca, who was empty.

"Well......"

Bianca was a little scared by the supernatural phenomenon she had never seen before.

In the past few years, she has seen a lot of strange things, especially in the past month, because the intensity and frequency of Honkai events around the world have increased, she has solved a lot of Honkai events. Some of them are simply the elimination of Honkai beasts, and some are special events caused by Honkai, such as alleys turning into mazes.

But this happened to her...

"Am I having a split personality?"

Bianca thought of a topic that has been very popular recently.

[Hehe~~~~ Interesting way of putting it. But if that’s the case, then you are the split personality, and I am the real Bianca Kaslana. Don’t get me confused about this.]

"I am the real one, okay!"

Bianca said unhappily.

"What are you talking about, you who just showed up? I've lived with my brother in this house for seven years, and I'm the one he treats as his sister!"

【Is it? 】

Xilin's mouth corners slightly raised.

[But why is the brother you mentioned not at home now? ]

"Brother, he's on a business trip~~~"

On business trip?

Xilin in the mirror listened to this explanation and couldn't help feeling puzzled and doubtful.

She didn't wake up until recently.

Seven years ago, due to the obstruction of that monster-like human, she was forcibly sealed back when she was about to awaken again, and even her Herrscher Core, which was the core of her power, was dug out. But not long ago, she, who should have been sleeping in the seal, suddenly felt that the seal was loosened a little, and today, the seal has even loosened to the point where she can come out and interfere with Bianca like this.

This is intriguing.

(Business trip? Business trip? Haha~~~ If that monster was really just on a business trip, you wouldn't be so vulnerable for me to take advantage of.)

Xilin was certain that the monster who had completely ravaged her was definitely not just on a business trip. He must have really encountered something that even he could hardly handle. He might even have met with some kind of accident that caused the seal to loosen.

Anyway, it's a good thing.

As long as that monster is gone, she will be able to regain her past strength sooner or later, and this time she will definitely destroy the world completely.

(However, the problem is that the Herrscher Core is no longer in this body. Even if I take over this body, I will not be able to recover all my strength. The most urgent task is to first confirm the location of the Herrscher Core and then seize it when the opportunity arises.)

(For this...it is necessary to seize this body.)

[Is a business trip so annoying to you? It's really outrageous]

Thinking of this, Xilin spoke again.

[Is it really just a business trip? 】

"Ahhhh~~~ You're so annoying. The old man is really just on a business trip and will be back soon!"

Bianca waved at the shadow of Xilin in front of her in annoyance, but Xilin had no entity and was just an illusion reflected in Bianca's eyes. How could she dispel it by physical means?

Looking at the other self that was lingering in front of her, Bianca closed her eyes.

Xilin just smiled when she saw this.

[You can't escape any further, I am incompetent and cowardly]

[Sooner or later you will face the reality and despair you have been avoiding. I am looking forward to what expression you will show when the time comes]

[Before that, just enjoy your last bit of happiness to your heart's content, hehe~~~~]

Along with the dark and eerie echo, Xilin gradually disappeared.

Covering her head, Bianca waited until the buzzing sound disappeared before she opened her eyes again. She looked at the bedroom that had returned to peace and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Huh~~~~ This is really a ghost. How could such a weird thing happen in broad daylight?"

"By the way, what she just said seems to be the lines of the final boss in the game I just finished, right? If you want to scare people, why don't you say something scarier? Isn't it boring to just copy the lines?"

Rolling over and lying on the bed, Bianca looked up at the ceiling while talking to herself.

Sharp comments are sharp comments, but Bianca can't say that she doesn't care at all about what her other self said.

[Sooner or later you will face the reality and despair you have been avoiding]
