Die to society! Honkai Impact 3

"Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Karen, and I'm just a shadow hunter chasing the past. "

That evening, the captain returned to his lodgings in despair, and came back to his senses, still holding in his hand the contact information that Karen had given him before leaving.

He rudely crumpled the piece of paper that said 2721X and threw it out, then lay down on the bed.

When he woke up again, the good smell gently enveloped the captain.

In front of her, the familiar maid lady bowed her head and smiled as usual.

"Captain, are you resting well?"

"I ...... I had a long dream, and in my dream...... I feel like I'm missing a lot of important things. "

"Don't be too sad, Captain, what you have lost, just ~ get it back. "

"Thank you for the reminder, - Roswiser. "

Without hesitation, the captain confided the maid's last name in front of him, which she had never told him, but he nodded as naturally as if he had known him for a long time.

"Do you remember it all?, my lord, it seems that the synchronization of consciousness mapping is finally complete. "

"This also means that I only have one observation left. "

At the last chance, the captain muttered, Delisa, Himeko...... Do I really have a way to save you all?

"Your mission is to find a future where Kalian-sama won't die—haven't you forgotten that?"

"Of course, but there's one thing I've never figured out. I didn't die from this observation of Himeko's bite, so why did I wake up here?"

Rita replied with an impeccable smile –

"Because the reset of the observation node does not depend on your death, my lord. "

"After that, Kalian-sama went alone to suppress A872 and failed, so ......"

"I see, thanks for the answer, Roswiesser. The captain paused, "I'm leaving." "

Rita once again uttered the familiar closing words: "Today is the first night you promised to assist Miss Himeko in her investigation...... Please don't forget the time......"

The sudden deep drowsiness enveloped the captain again.

"Chief~official~big~person~?I remember ......"

Familiar scenes, familiar tones, familiar lines......

It's 0:15 a.m., and the agreed meeting time on the phone is 3 o'clock.

Based on the experience of the first two observations, the time of encounter with Teresa was two hours later......

It has been ensured here that Himeko's actions are the same as the first observation.

At the time of the first observation, Teresa was weak and unconscious before she bit me.

However, on the second observation, she went berserk and attacked Himeko.

The only reason that can be thought of for this change in the result is that Himeko chose left and right in front of the Roar Restaurant.

It is ensured that her actions are the same as the first observation, and that she should be able to make contact with Teresa without any problems.

Although there are still risks, if you want to save everyone, you can only take a risk, and the experience of the first two observations is the best basis for making judgments.

Next, there are still familiar alleys, poor white-haired vampires, and the "meow" that can't pierce the skin and suck blood.

The extreme tension followed by a moment of peace of mind made the captain feel as if he had exhausted all his strength.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that it is not a blonde vampire, otherwise he would not have heard "meow" but "wryyyy".

But there is still a lot to go on to achieve the goal of rescuing everyone.

"Did you pass the first level, then ...... next?"

After biting her finger to feed Teresa, Himeko's phone call also came.

The captain remembered that when he first made an observation, Himeko said that after returning from the investigation, he had "met an old friend".

When asked about Kalian's identity during the second observation, Himeko said that she was "just an old friend".

If I didn't guess wrong......

After that, the captain followed Himeko's contact and returned to meet in front of the Roar Happy Restaurant.

However, when it came to the appointed time, Himeko was late.

"Sorry, I met a ...... on the way Old friend, so delayed. "

But unlike the first observation, there is another girl who appears with Himeko.

With conspicuous white hair and a pitch-black outfit, it is difficult to hide the nobility and awe-inspiring that flow from the bones.

"Lord Kalian, long greetings, my subordinates have been waiting here for a long time. "

Himeko was a little surprised: "Eh, why do you know ......"

"As I said at the beginning, I was the captain of the Hyperion. In fact, I came to Canghai City to cooperate with Lord Karen in investigating a secret of the church. "

The captain's gaze turned to the silent Karin.

"Like, A872, do you say yes? "

Karene finally spoke: "It turned out to be you. Himeko, I'm sorry, but it looks like it's not the time to catch up, and I still have some things to talk to about with this person. "

Although she couldn't let go, Himeko still nodded to Karen and turned to leave.

Before leaving, she stopped talking and glared at the captain.

Watching Himeko gradually walk away, the captain noticed that the girl named Karen next to him also turned cold.

"I've dealt with Himeko in past missions, and although her qualifications are mediocre, she's an honest fighter. "

"So?"

"So, I'm curious why her partner is such a lying guy like you. Call me by phone, and you're the one you're meeting here at three a.m., right?"

"That's right, right down, Lord Karen. I know you have a lot of questions right now. Don't worry, I'll explain everything afterward. "

The captain seems to know how to deal with a cold Kaslana - treat her to supper.

It doesn't need to be high-end, as long as it's high-calorie junk food like fried chicken burgers to make Caslana happy.

Just like now, Kalian, who has a hamburger piled up in her arms, has a happy face that makes passers-by can't help but raise the corners of their mouths.

Karen's expression of unfinished eating the hamburger made the captain subconsciously open his wallet, and there were only a few lonely coins left in it.

After being fed, Karen's attitude was much better: "Ahem, let's get down to business." According to you, you are a special investigator sent by the Mandate of Heaven Headquarters?"

"Yes, that's why I know Kalian-sama's phone number and A872's information. "

Kalian's expression became serious, the existence of A872 was one of the highest level of secret protection within the Mandate of Heaven.

If it weren't for the bishop's personal permission, the man in front of him would never have known so much - Karen would never have imagined that "herself" had leaked this information to him.

"I already have the whereabouts of the A872, but before that I have a request. "

Hearing this, Karen frowned at her.

The captain carefully watched her reaction, then opened the map on his phone and handed it to her.

"It's three o'clock in the evening, Lord Kalian, please get to this position early. At least on the evening of the day, please don't make a move on her...... I have something I want you to confirm with your own eyes. "

After a long silence, Karen nodded, "I understand. "

The next day, based on the experience of the first observation, the captain easily gained the trust of Teresa.

And on the rooftop where they used to dance, Karen had been hidden there in advance.

"After all, I'm just a puppet made by my grandfather for my sister's resurrection. "

"But...... Do puppets feel the same way?"

"Tell me, I don't understand it at all. "

After the dance, Teresa raised her face as if she was begging for help.

"It's not a puppet, your troubles and struggles are proof that you are really alive!"

This time, the captain finally said the words that he had not been able to say at the time.

"Huh?"

As if hearing something incredible, Teresa looked at the captain with wide eyes, then covered her mouth and tears flowed quietly.

"What, what's wrong, it's what I said that shouldn't be said......"

"No, it's not. Teresa shook her head, "All along, I must, I just want to hear someone say something like that to me. "

Facing the girl in tears, the captain was a little at a loss for a while, which was a reaction that had not been seen in the previous two observations.

He hesitantly stretched out his hand, trying to wipe the tears from the girl's face, but—

A gunshot rang out, and something flew past the captain's face, causing a hot pain.

For a moment he seemed to understand something: "Teresa, go!

The captain pushed the girl away, and the vampire girl seemed to understand the situation.

She glanced back at the captain and disappeared into the night with a few flickers.

The captain turned and looked at the gun-wielding Karen, his eyes flashing with anger.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Enough. "

"You broke our agreement!"

"I said enough, why give her hope!?why be gentle with her!?why...... Why ......"

Kalian's surging grief and anger made the suppressed captain unable to speak for a moment.

"You're not an investigator at the Mandate of Heaven Headquarters. "

The captain didn't understand, "Why, why do you point the gun at her?" "

"But she's too dangerous, and since she's left the Destiny Headquarters, she can't resist her blood-sucking urges. If she is allowed to live, there will be more victims. "

For a moment, the captain's mind conjured up the image of Himeko dead.

And the wishes she had told him the night before, that she had not been able to fulfill.

"If you bring Teresa back to the Mandate Headquarters......"

"It's useless. Karene interrupted the captain, "If I bring Teresa back, the Bishop won't let her go." "

"When the time comes, she will be treated harsher than before, and the bishop will even strip her of her mobility in order to prevent her from escaping again. "

"And I don't have the confidence that I can take Delissa unscathed. "

"So, at the beginning of the fight, I will definitely aim to kill her and go all out. "

"But if you kill Teresa, you'll ...... too"

The captain didn't continue, for he had seen something called Enlightenment in Karen's eyes.

She twisted her neck slightly, revealing the blood-red bite marks on her white neck.

Ask for flowers

"This body...... It died 500 years ago. "

"Bishop...... Otto...... He used Teresa's power to resurrect me. "

"However, I lost most of my feelings, and only sporadic memories of the man named Karen. "

"I don't know what I am, only Teresa is my only relative. "

"But now I can only choose to bury her and repay her along with this false life......"

"We ...... It's all things that shouldn't have existed in this world from the beginning......"

The captain fell silent.

The decision contained far more weight than he had imagined.

"I don't know who you really are, but you're a gentle man. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Self-satisfaction is also a form of gentleness, but nothing can be changed with a little tenderness. "

Karen handed over a weapon.

"Take this gun, it contains a special bullet that the Bishop gave me. "

"This bullet was fatal, both for Teresa and for me. "

"With it, you have the power to choose. "

"As a member of the Kaslana family, I can't let Delissa go on like this......"

"I don't have a choice, but you're different. "

The captain held his gun in his hand and stood there as Karen turned away.

"Are you going to chase her? She's already gone. "

"I arranged for Himeko to be on standby around here all the time, and she won't be able to go far. "

"What...... You leave Himeko alone!?In case Delissa is provoked and loses her reason......"

Karen's head didn't reply: "So, choose." "

......

"This ...... How could this be?" Kiana didn't dare to look at it anymore.

Karene gave the captain the power to choose, but at the same time put a heavy pressure on the captain.

At the fork in the road of fate, he has the power to decide life and death.

But there is only one person he can decide.

Is it the choice of justice, or the girl who dances with him under the moon?

"By all means...... The captain and the moon will definitely have a happy ending, right? "

Bronya didn't know how to answer Ciel.

Perhaps the dreamy dance under the moon has already revealed the sadness of the ending.

"Hmph, if you have a chance to play back, you can still play like this, I ...... it a long time ago"

Under the gray snake's gaze, the jackal's voice gradually became smaller, and it was not until she put on the echo device with a reluctant face that the gray snake looked away.

"It's just a misguided mercy. "

Kevin could tell at a glance that the captain was more out of pity than love for the moon.

On the contrary, it was under the moon, after the captain said the sentence "It won't be a puppet".

The brilliance in her eyes is love.

Kevin also had the wrong pity for someone...... No, to be exact, the lawyer.

That mistaken mercy made him pay the price of blood, and it also made him understand that you can be called a human without having human consciousness.

A person who has an uncontrollable monster lurking in his body is a monster.

"Heh, Kevin, if it were you, who would you shoot to?"

Qianjiao's question didn't make Kevin hesitate for even a second: "The first embrace under the moon." Letting her live will only bring even greater disaster. "

"If Mei is the vampire?"

Chiki raises an even more acute question.

"Mei's dedication and importance to civilization is greater than the disaster she has brought about, so save her, right?"

"No, Mei won't let us answer, she'll give her own answer. "

The Thousand Tribulations were a little stupid, but they didn't refute it.

......

After some time, the stunned captain heard a dense burst of gunfire in a nearby alley.

Following the sound of gunfire, the captain ran through the alleys.

Perhaps a prank of fate, behind that familiar corner is the alley where she meets Teresa and says goodbye to Himeko.

Deresa and Karen were fighting, and not far away, the wounded Himeko was half-kneeling, barely supported by her sword and not falling.

"Why? Why you?"

Teresa looked at Karen in disbelief, unable to control the choking of her words.

"I thought that in this world, only my sister loved me. "

"Teresa, you're too dangerous right now. I must ...... you before a new infected person appears."

Karen said in a trembling voice.

"To Teresa, my dear sister. It is I who brought you out, and it is my sin. "

"Don't be afraid, at least I'll be with you......"

Teresa stubbornly shook her head: "No! I still have a wish that has not been fulfilled! I must not die here!"

The battle was at a stalemate, and the captain knew it was time to make a choice.

He struggled to raise the gun, but the gun in his hand was so heavy that his hands could not stop shaking at all, and he pointed the muzzle of the gun at the target of his choice.

There is only one bullet, and if you shoot Teressa, Karen will die with it.

There is only one bullet, shoot at Kalian, and Teresa can live big.
