Thousands of fireworks, enjoy the joy from Honkai Impact 3

The muzzle of the gun was against the right temple, and the smile on Hua Huo's lips never faded. While she said this, her hand did not hesitate at all and pulled the trigger directly.

Snapped--

With the crisp sound of gunfire, the world began to turn upside down.

The ruins of the city began to disappear rapidly, and the towering buildings were gradually flattened. The time went back to 2014.

And Hua Huo, at this moment, is standing in...Tianqiong City in 2014!

"Oh my! The time has changed, but the location hasn't. By the way, is there a direct flight from Sky City to Changkong City?"

-

In an open space of a leisure park outside the urban area of ​​Changkong City, a number of huge simple tents have been set up. Tourists and children are running back and forth between these tents with a sense of curiosity and joy.

Sometimes he went to the tent on the left to watch the acrobatic performance, sometimes he went to the tent on the right to see various animals and beasts, and sometimes he went to the small tent at the back to ask the fortune teller to tell his luck.

This is a mobile theater troupe that is not well-known in the world, but in recent years it has become somewhat famous in the Far East.

There is still more than an hour before the main show starts. Tourists who come early to wait will go to other tents to visit first, and will not gather in the big tent in the middle until the main show starts.

At this time, the staff of the troupe must be busy with various things, and only the little people following the troupe have some free time to get some fresh air outside.

On a park bench outside the troupe's base, a young girl sat quietly, looking back at the bustling troupe venue.

There was a hint of confusion in the girl's eyes. She had grown up in a theater troupe and had been touring with the troupe in various places.

Practice acrobatics in the troupe, learn to perform in the troupe, sleep in the arms of a lion in the troupe, and wipe the crystal ball and organize various props after the troupe's performance.

Days like this go on day after day, year after year.

Is my future going to always be like this? So ordinary, so repetitive, so boring?

Sometimes the girl would wonder, if she had not come out with her parents, and had gone to school like other children, would her life have been more interesting?

Such thoughts will not bear fruit. After all, there is no regret medicine in this world, and it will not give people the opportunity to try again after making mistakes.

But from time to time, the girl's heart would still be moved, wanting to break away from the ordinary days, wanting to explore the unknown, and wanting to get in touch with more interesting things.

"Oh my, look what I found! A little lost goldfish. What's wrong? Isn't it going to the troupe?"

Just as the girl was leaning on a park bench, boredly thinking about her future, which was destined to be an equally boring life, a voice that was somewhat familiar, but seemed to be heard for the first time, rang in her ears.

This is not the first time I have thought about life on a park bench. No one came to disturb me the previous times, but this is the first time that someone else has spoken to me.

The girl's confused thoughts were interrupted, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the park bench and prepared to go back.

As she stood up, she looked in the direction where the voice had just come from.

What caught my eye was a face that looked familiar yet unfamiliar. It was a girl wearing a red and white short skirt that was different from ordinary girls.

That kind of dress doesn't look like an ordinary person's daily dress at all, it looks more like someone who walked out of a certain opera.

Who is she?

Thundering Sky: Chapter 7 Anchoring Node

Her black hair was combed into two ponytails and hung down her back. Her red and white short skirt made her look as cute as a puppet on the stage. The mask hanging on the side of her head made her look out of place in her ordinary daily life.

This kind of dress, this kind of appearance, appearing in such an ordinary park, is definitely not someone the confused girl knows.

But inexplicably, the girl felt that the person in front of her looked familiar, as if he was someone she was very familiar with, but for a moment she couldn't think of where she had seen him.

This prompted the girl, who was about to return to the troupe, to ask a very clichéd pick-up line: "Have we met somewhere before?"

"Hehehe, maybe we've met in a dream. Lost little goldfish, are you ready to go back?"

With her hands behind her back, Hanabi leaned forward slightly, approaching the girl in front of her, and asked with a mysterious smile on her face.

"Why do you call me Little Goldfish? And I'm not lost. I live in this troupe."

She frowned slightly, feeling puzzled by the strange address. But strangely, she did not feel repulsed by Hanabi's approach, but rather felt a sense of intimacy.

"Oh, so you are the little princess of the troupe. Then, my lovely little princess, let Hanabi give you a gift for our first meeting."

Hanabi took her hands out from behind her back and opened her palms. A crystal clear gem sparkled in her palms.

"No, thanks. I can't accept it."

When the girl heard the person opposite her call himself Hanabi, she was a little surprised that the other person's name was the same as hers.

But after seeing the gem the other party took out, the girl no longer cared about the other party's name and hurriedly waved her hand and refused.

"You're welcome. Please accept it."

Smiling, Hanabi approached the girl, took her hand with her left hand, held the gem with her right hand, and pressed it directly against the girl's chest regardless of her refusal.

A dazzling light bloomed at the point where the girl and the gem touched, as if a hole was torn in her chest, and the dazzling gem slowly merged into the girl's body.

"what is this?"

I never expected that the person opposite who called herself Hanabi was so tough, and she was so strong that I couldn't break free from her restraints at all.

The girl could only watch as the other party pressed the gem into her chest.

She didn't feel any pain or discomfort, but the strange way the gemstone merged into her body made the girl feel inexplicably terrified.

What on earth was that? Why was he stuffing it into his body? Could it be some parasite's eggs?

One inexplicable thought after another popped up in the girl's mind. Amidst her fear and panic, there was a faint excitement in her heart about getting a glimpse of the mystery.

"Goodbye 'Fireworks', let's meet again in the future."

Hanabi's last low moan reached the girl's ears, and then the girl's vision was blocked by Hanabi's right hand and gradually sank into darkness.

"Wait, wait a minute, what was that just now?"

The girl's scream rang out in the quiet park. The girl sitting on the bench suddenly opened her eyes and stretched out her right hand as if trying to grab something.

But there was nothing in front of the girl, nothing at all, no girl with twintails and a short skirt, nor the gem that had merged into her body.

The girl was still the only one sitting on the park bench.

Did I fall asleep? Strange, was that really a dream?

She looked around but still couldn't find anyone around. Her right hand stroked her chest, which hadn't changed at all, with a look of confusion on her face.

-----

A thousand Herrschers means there are 1000 Herrscher cores, but these 1000 Herrscher cores are not equal. At least, the core held by Hanabi can be constructed from one main core and 999 sub-cores.

Moreover, the so-called Thousand Rulers does not necessarily mean 1000 people, there may be more.

Because all the sub-cores are separated from the main core, this means that even if all 999 sub-cores are broken, the main core can still separate out another 999 cores if there is sufficient energy supply.

This is the structure of the Thousand Herrscher. The power of the Thousand Herrscher is different from that of the Wind Herrscher, the Fire Herrscher, and the Thunder Herrscher, which are all powerful manifestations of strength. The power of the Thousand Herrscher is reflected in connections.

The connection between the main body and the split, the connection between the master and the puppet, transfers energy through the connection, constructs the network through the connection, and also controls others through the connection.

The system function of character card synthesis allows Hanabi to obtain Tokisaki Kurumi's Twelve Bullet ability to go back to the past, but time is not something that can be easily manipulated.

If the past is tampered with at will, the world may be destroyed at any time, and a time paradox may even form, causing the existence of fireworks to disappear at the end of time.

Therefore, before going back to the past to change history, Fireworks must first anchor its own history and must pass through a certain important node.

Hanabi was born in the body of the dominant puppet. After the original Hanabi was turned into a puppet by the Thousand Herrscher, she traveled through time or awakened her memories from her previous life.

Therefore, no matter how the past changes, Hanabi must become the dominant puppet, otherwise her birth will become a paradox.

So, as the first stop for using the Twelve Bullets, Hanabi arrived in Nagizora City and came before her past self.

The so-called time travel is actually the self from another world traveling to the body of a girl named Hanabi and merging with her memories.

Or maybe it was the self from another world who was reincarnated into this world, and at a certain point in time, the memory of the previous life was awakened.

Regarding this, Hanabi was not clear and there was no need to explore it.

But no matter which of the above is the case, making the past fireworks a puppet of the ruler and then usurping the power of the ruler is a necessary process.

It is not easy to remotely control other people's behavior, and Hanabi has no way to guarantee whether the future Thousand Herrscher will find her past self and make her a puppet.

After all, the butterfly effect is a regular effect that everyone knows.

The more Fireworks changes the past history, the more the future will change.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Thousand Herrscher from failing to find Hanabi in the past, Hanabi went back to the past and made her past self a part of the Thousand Herrscher first.

Possessing some of the power of the Thousand Herrscher, Hanabi believes that her past self will not let her down.

It's interesting, isn't it, how changes in the past can affect unknown changes in the future?

"Very good, the first goal of the first stop has been completed. Next, let me go and see what the heroines of our Changkong City are doing now."

After watching her past self leave with a confused look on her face, Hanabi smiled and turned to walk in another direction.

Thundering Sky: Chapter 8: Mei of Thunder

It is very difficult to find someone in the huge Changkong City. In the modern society with convenient communication, it would be easier to find someone if you have the other person's contact information, but if you have nothing, you can basically only rely on luck to find someone.

Not to mention finding Siegfried who was deliberately hiding his tracks, or Cocolia who secretly sneaked into Changkong City and made some small moves in secret.

Even if you want to find Kiana or Bronya in the densely populated Changkong City, it is quite difficult.

But there is one person who is very easy to find, that is the Queen of Lightning, Mei Raiden, one of the three great families of Honkai Impact 3rd.

Unlike Kiana, who has an uncertain transfer date and works part-time jobs everywhere even while attending school.

It is also different from Bronya who sneaked into Changkong City with Cocolia, and it is uncertain whether she has begun to monitor Raiden Mei.

In Changkong City, as the eldest daughter of ME Club and also a student of Senba Academy, Raiden Mei is the only one with a specific location.

As long as it's not the weekend, you can find Mei Raiden at Senba Academy during the day.

Whether she was the eldest daughter of the Raiden family before Ryoma Raiden was imprisoned, or the coward who was bullied after her father was imprisoned, Raiden Mei basically never left Senba Academy during the day.

So, after parting ways with her past self, Hanabi found Senba Academy.

If you want to find Kiana from this period, you can also wait for Kiana at Senba Academy.

However, when Hanabi came to Changkong City, in addition to anchoring a node for herself, the person she was looking for was not Kiana, but the protagonist of the third Honkai Impact 3rd, Raiden Mei.

When Hua Huo arrived at Qianyu Academy after asking for directions, all the morning classes at Qianyu Academy had already ended and it was time for the students to go home for lunch.

Some students whose homes were close to the school had already run away and disappeared.

Students who live far away or do not plan to go home at noon gather in groups of three or four, eating lunch boxes, going to the school cafeteria, or eating bread from the school canteen.

Compared to the entire Changkong City, it is relatively easy to find someone in Qianyu Academy.

She didn't even need to ask anyone. After hearing some gossip among students, Hanabi had already guessed where Mei Raiden was.

At this point in time, the third Honkai outbreak is not far away, because Hanabi heard Kiana's name from the gossiping students just now.

Kiana and Mei Raiden should have known each other, but unfortunately, Kiana was not in the academy today. I don't know whether she went to work or to look for Siegfried.

In Qianyu Academy, Kiana has always been the representative of skipping classes, and today is no exception. Kiana skipped classes again.

Without Kiana's company, Mei Raiden could only eat her cold lunch box alone on the rooftop.

Kiana is indeed the salvation of Mei Raiden. Kiana's existence is Mei Raiden's only light in Senba Academy.

When everyone despised the daughter of a criminal, distanced themselves from Mei Raiden, and even bullied her, only Kiana stood by Mei Raiden and protected her.

However, this guardian is obviously not very competent, because Kiana is not by Mei Raiden's side all the time.

When a person is always in loneliness and darkness, although it is uncomfortable and sad, it may still be bearable.

But when this person feels the only warmth in the darkness, how can anyone bear to let her continue to be alone in the darkness?

Sitting alone on a chair on the rooftop, Mei Raiden held two bento boxes in her hands, not moving at all.

She looked up at the azure sky, her thoughts had long since drifted away. Only the faint tears flowing in her eyes told of her mood.

"big liar."

A low murmur with a hint of grievance came out of his mouth quietly.

They had agreed to have lunch together on the rooftop today, but half an hour had passed since school was over at noon, and the person Mei Raiden was waiting for still hadn't shown up.

"I found you, Mei."
