And Kiana...
"Big Brother, why does it seem like you have turned into a statue in the church?"
The most realistic description comes from the mouths of children.
In Kiana's eyes, Xia Chuanhu at this moment was like a statue in the church illuminated by the morning light and bathed in brilliant light, exuding a divinity that was enough to make everyone with faith in their hearts kneel down devoutly.
Afterwards, the body of the synthetic spirit standing next to Xia Chuanhu, under the illumination of this holy light, was like ice and snow melting, and dissipated into countless light points at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into a foamy starlight that drifted away with the wind.
(Cecilia...)
Looking in the direction where the light was drifting, Siegfried pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then laughed with relief: "This is really a farewell...Cecilia."
"Well...I guess so."
At some point, Xia Chuanhu, who had retracted the special holy light on his body and became ordinary again, responded: "The synthetic spirit has indeed been liberated by me. Your wife... is no longer here."
"......Thanks."
"It was my mistake, you don't need to thank me."
As Xia Chuanhu spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, as if he was trying to grab something.
Without asking the meaning of his action, Siegfried touched his daughter beside him and said, "Okay, let's go home, Kiana. Then we'll have a nice meal on the way."
"...Well, thank you, big brother. Goodbye, big brother."
"See you later."
He watched Kiana and Siegfried wave to him and leave together. After they completely left the cemetery, Xia Chuanhu let go of his hand: "Is this your... no, your choice? Even if your lover wants you to be free, you still want to leave a final gift for your daughter, Cecilia."
"Besides...please ask me for help before you leave. My fees are very high."
In the palm of Xia Chuanhu's hand, there is now a metal-like object that looks like a white flower.
(I will return this to Kiana when she reaches adulthood.)
14. Adopt a Bug
Because of his Demonic Eyes, Xia Chuan Hu was able to do things that ninety-nine percent of necromancers could not do. And because of his past experiences and the countless times he had been to the underworld and received blessings from many underworld gods, he could be said to be an expert among experts when it came to dealing with souls.
And that was why he felt that Cecilia had given him a difficult problem.
"Is this right here?"
The Destiny is deep and will not appear in some extremely secret corridor on the map.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, Xia Chuanhu glanced at the completely closed door in front of him. He did not try to crack the door lock next to him. Instead, he ignored the door and passed through it like a shadow.
"Physical barriers are useless to me."
There are legends about creatures like vampires turning into mist. Although Xiachuan Hu is not a pure vampire, he can easily simulate mist with magic. In addition, he has followed an illusion master for decades, so it is a piece of cake for him to deceive the reality.
After passing through the gate——
"Hmm? You came pretty quickly. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Looking at Otto who seemed to have arrived here early in the morning, Xiachuanhu chuckled.
Turning around and looking at him, Otto's face showed some helplessness and surprise. "You have only been here for a few minutes. Compared to this, it is really surprising. You just came to Tianming yesterday, but you were able to come here smoothly without anyone leading the way."
"If you want to come, just tell me, Mr. Xiachuan."
"I thought that by then, you would take me to a place that looks exactly like this place, but is actually completely different." Xia Chuanhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I don't trust you at all, so I'm acting on my own now - are you dissatisfied with me for coming to your secret laboratory without permission?"
"Indeed, but I believe you have your reasons."
Otto leaned against the operating table beside him and said, "Can you please tell me why you want to force your way into this laboratory? After all, we just established a cooperative relationship yesterday. Personally, I don't want our honeymoon to end so soon."
"......I am just entrusted by someone."
Without taking the hidden meaning in his words seriously at all, Xia Chuanhu went straight to the operating table and looked up at the thing in front of him——
It was a huge container that looked like a huge petri dish, filled with some kind of liquid, maybe nutrient solution? Or formalin? And in the container, a small figure was floating in it, like a baby sleeping in amniotic fluid.
Its appearance looks almost exactly like Kiana.
"Is this the result of Sirin's plan? The clone of Kiana Kaslana, the container you prepared for the Herrscher Core of the Second Herrscher?"
"...Hehe, I am increasingly curious about how much you know. Did you really just come to our world yesterday, Lord God?"
"I just remembered it."
Yes, before entering this laboratory, Xia Chuanhu had no idea about the [Xilin Project]. Although he could remember some things that might be related, they were too fragmented. It was not until he walked in here and saw the huge test tube in front of him that he remembered most of the relevant content.
——【Xilin Project】
After the second collapse, Destiny secretly recovered the remains of the Second Herrscher, and for his own purpose, Otto began a plan to [revive] the Second Herrscher. But it is not a perfect plan to just create clones of the Second Herrscher, so Otto took a detour and combined Kiana's DNA with the Second Herrscher's DNA to cultivate many experimental subjects that are equivalent to the two's [children].
Collectively referred to as [K series].
The ultimate goal of the Sirin Plan is to allow the experimental subject to perfectly master the power of the second Herrscher and give Destiny the combat power of an additional Herrscher.
"As for the experimental subjects of the Xilin Project, I remember that almost all of them were failures. None of them had self-awareness, but I remember one was conscious, codenamed K-423. Is that it?"
Xia Chuanhu knocked on the outer wall of the test tube in front of him.
"Otto, I want her."
"Oh?"
Otto raised his eyebrows slightly - he was very confused now, really confused, his heart was full of doubts and confusion.
Xia Chuanhu had only arrived at Tianming yesterday. According to his own account, he should know almost nothing about the situation here, and could only understand some things under certain circumstances. Then why did he know so much about his own experiment? How could he come directly to this absolutely confidential laboratory?
Even...the progress of the experiment is so clear?
(How much...does he know?)
Staring at Xia Chuan Hu, his green eyes emanated an emotion that was difficult to explain. Otto, who always had the upper hand in negotiations, felt for the first time that he could not take the initiative - if he had not seen Xia Chuan Hu through the surveillance camera he left on the road, he would not even have known that Xia Chuan Hu was secretly coming towards this side.
"May I ask, what do you need K-423 for?"
"I've already said that I was just asked to fulfill the last wish of a dead soul." Xia Chuanhu said, "But I also know that it would be impolite for you to take K-423 away by force, so I'm explaining it to you now. I also deliberately didn't interfere with the surveillance on the road, otherwise I would have blacked out all of them long ago."
Did he reveal his whereabouts intentionally?
Otto smiled bitterly: "So, you expected me to be here?"
"I am a guest in Tianming, so I still have to be polite to you as my host, right?" Xia Chuanhu put his hand on the outer wall of the test tube. "So, what is your answer?"
"...I guess I don't think I have the right to say no?"
"Don't say that. I'm not an unreasonable person. In exchange, I can guarantee that your Xilin Project will succeed. After all, I'm just helping you take care of the child. Even if it's a clone, the child still has to live a better life, right?"
Snapped!
The entire test tube suddenly disappeared, and the unknown liquid inside seemed to have evaporated, and the K-423 soaked in it fell out directly.
He reached out to catch the tiny child, and conjured up a blanket out of thin air to wrap her up. Xia Chuanhu looked at the face, which was similar to the one he remembered, but much younger. He touched her forehead with his finger, allowing a barely perceptible trace of moonlight to penetrate her body.
(That's it...)
"Sorry to bother you, Otto. I'll take the child away. By the way, tell her and I to prepare later--"
"Your proof of identity, right?" Otto answered first. "I've already prepared it. It's just one more thing now. It's not a big deal. I just hope you can tell me before you act willfully next time, so that I can at least be mentally prepared."
"【Willful】Ah......"
Xia Chuanhu smiled lightly, and his sky-blue eyes turned to glance at Otto.
"You won't [save the world] by following the rules, Otto."
"At least in the countless times I have saved lives, I have never followed the established rules - but in such a small matter, I will consider it next time."
hum!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiachuanhu and the K-423 in his arms disappeared in front of Otto.
Otto was the only one left in the laboratory, silent and with a slightly scary look on his face.
15. Your name is [Bianca Kaslana]
From the perspective of magic, any [words] that have a purpose and are clearly targeted at an object are considered [curses].
Let me give you a very simple example - Mr. Weber Velvet, the most popular lecturer in the Clock Tower who loves to take stomach medicine, accidentally said something against a certain "monarch" in his early years. The content was roughly "all those Clock Tower magicians who are obsessed with power struggles should go to hell."
This was a very classic curse, and he was soon bitten back by the measures set up by the monarchs to fight the curse, and had a very bad day.
This kind of [curse] that uses [words] as a carrier will be greatly strengthened under certain circumstances, such as - [at the moment of death].
The words a person says to someone when they are dying can become a powerful curse, and can even bind the person affected.
Ninety-nine percent of the magic families in the Clock Tower are deeply affected by this curse. After all, as long as they are traditional magicians, they will always say only one thing to their descendants when they are dying: [We must reach the source no matter what.]
Even though every magician knows that this is a curse, no one has ever tried to break it, because it is a curse that they are willing to bear. Judging from Xia Chuanhu's personal experience, it is so stupid that it makes people admire him.
After saying so much, what Xiachuan Hu wanted to express was that he was [cursed] by Cecilia.
At the moment when Cecilia's remaining thoughts were about to completely dissipate, he, as the master of the synthetic spirit, received the return of residual thoughts from the synthetic spirits, and a considerable part of the obsessions in the hearts of those synthetic spirits were accepted by him.
Most of them boil down to one meaning: [Eliminate Honkai], there's nothing much to say about this.
The focus is on Cheng Lixue and Cecilia.
The last thing Cheng Lixue missed was to repay a favor, and she was repaying a favor to a person named Fu Hua, who seemed to be Cheng Lixue's master and adoptive mother, who raised Cheng Lixue and taught her martial arts. Before the real Cheng Lixue died, the last thought in her mind was that she had not been able to do more for her master.
So when Cheng Lixue was being liberated, his regret was conveyed to his master Xia Chuanhu.
Although he didn't know where Fu Hua was now, Xia Chuanhu felt that he would meet her in the future, and his intuition had never been wrong.
As for Cecilia's regret...
"A warrior who fights against Honkai, his last thought is to give the Herrscher some [love] - even in my opinion, this gentleness is a bit too much, Cecilia."
At Xiachuanhu's home.
Putting K-423 on the bed, Xiachuanhu sighed.
Judging from the feedback he received, in the last moments of her life, Cecilia, in addition to hoping that her daughter Kiana would survive and praying that Siegfried would be safe... was also thinking about embracing the Second Herrscher?
【Want to give her some warmth】
This pieced-together regret was the last thing Cecilia wanted to do, and in order to realize her obsession, Xia Chuanhu took great pains to dig into his memory before finding some clues related to the Second Herrscher, and then found Otto's laboratory.
He felt that Cecilia was a little too kind. She was the strongest S-class Valkyrie, but she was overly kind and gentle. As a warrior, this was a fatal weakness.
But at the same time, he also respected the wishes of a deceased person and her kindness.
So he brought out K-423. After all, according to the memory, it was the only successful individual, and the others were all failed works that had to be abandoned.
"...I don't know if it can be used here."
Xia Chuanhu placed his hand on K-423's chest and whispered, "In the name of the elves, grant the Son of Man blessings and protection."
"Om~~~"
A faint light lit up from Xiachuanhu's heart, and then turned into warm currents and sank into K-423's body.
——【Protection of the Spirits】
This privilege can only be exercised by elves, fairies, and gods. It can give the blessed person many special abilities. For example, Cu Chulainn's [Protection of Arrow Avoidance] allows him to dodge any long-range attack. Artoria can also walk freely on the water because of the blessing of the Lake Fairy.
Now Natsukawa Tora is doing something similar, but he is not giving K-423 the above-mentioned protections, but a more pure [Protection].
After all, the original function of the protection is to [shelter] and [bless], and [protection and blessing] are the most primitive power of the protection, so the protection that K-423 is receiving now is of this type.
Her vitality will be stronger than that of ordinary people, her luck will be better than that of ordinary people, she will not get sick easily, and the situation around her will develop in a direction that is as favorable to her as possible... It's probably something like this.
"Well......"
Perhaps because he felt the protection flowing into his body, the sleeping K-423's eyelids trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
His blue eyes, similar to Natsukawa Tiger's, sparkled with a lively light.
