Chapter 251: Second Honkai Eruption! Herrscher of the Void, Sirin!!
On July 8, after staying in the hospital for half a month, Su Mu was finally discharged as he wished.
Originally, the doctor thought he should be observed for a while longer, but on one hand, Su Mu was so bored he was going crazy, and on the other hand, his recovery power was truly amazing. Now the wound had almost healed, and the new skin was whiter than the surrounding area, but other than that, there were no major issues.
This made the hospital staff find it unbelievable, saying they had never seen someone with such strong recovery power. Surviving that kind of car accident without serious injury was already a miracle, and they didn't expect the recovery power to be so strong... Looking at Su Mu, who looked like he could kill a cow, it was hard to believe he had just come out of the hospital.
"Hmph, probably because he's a purebred idiot, so his constitution is also different from ordinary people. After all, isn't there a saying that idiots don't get sick?"
Theresa Apocalypse evaluated it this way, with a bit of resentment in her voice. During this time, she had "tossed and turned" Su Mu quite a bit. Ever since that incident happened that day, Su Mu had strictly refused to let Theresa Apocalypse step into his room.
Although he was happy she could express her true feelings, her actions made it very difficult for Su Mu to endure. He was clearly a poor and weak patient, but Theresa Apocalypse's wolf-like gaze wasn't hidden at all anymore.
If this continued, it would surely develop into something like Night Shift Hospital (sadly).
If he stayed in the hospital any longer, what would happen to his fate...
Fortunately, he was discharged without any danger, but what Su Mu didn't expect was that the person who came to pick him up personally was not Bronya Zaychik or Seele Vollerei, but Kiana Kaslana.
Seeing Kiana Kaslana appear in front of him with a beaming smile, a smile like bathing in the wind made Su Mu feel a bit chilled.
Is this still the "tuna" I know? What's going on?
"K-Kiana? Did something happen to the company?"
"Nothing at all? Why would you think so?"
"Nothing, I just feel like you seem a bit different from usual."
"You noticed? Actually, I specially made a new hairstyle today. Don't you find me more charming?"
Looking at Kiana Kaslana, she didn't have her usual braids, but had her long white hair spread out. The waterfall-like long hair combined with the light dress on Kiana Kaslana's body really gave her the temperament of a noble young lady.
Coupled with that perfect, impeccable sweet smile...
Su Mu held his forehead. How did this tuna's vibe become so impure after not seeing her for a few days?
"Kiana Kaslana, what kind of tone is that? It's so disgusting."
Theresa Apocalypse on the side complained coldly.
"What, Auntie, haven't I always talked like this? I'm just happier today."
Looking at this white-haired girl who was quiet and elegant, Theresa Apocalypse felt like her eyes were going to jump out of their sockets.
"Is... is this really Kiana Kaslana? Su Mu, why don't you pinch me, I seem to be dreaming..."
Saying that, Theresa Apocalypse reached out and pinched the flesh on Su Mu's waist.
"Ms. Theresa Apocalypse, didn't you ask me to pinch you? Why did you pinch me first?"
"Because only I get to pinch others, and no one else gets to pinch me!"
"What's with that 'I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me' temperament?"
Su Mu complained, and then looked at Kiana Kaslana, who seemed to be shining with "sparkling" special effects, her whole body exuding an "I am a noble young lady" temperament, not understanding what kind of craziness Kiana Kaslana was going through.
"Oh, stop it~ Darling, look at how heartless Auntie can be~ Clearly, I've always been like this, haven't I? I admit that in the past, I was indeed a reckless and willful bad child. But ever since I met you, darling, I've also been working hard to become better~"
Su Mu suddenly felt a bit of physiological discomfort. He felt that he might have opened the door the wrong way, or that he was still in a dream and hadn't woken up at all? As long as he closed his eyes and opened them again, everything would surely return to normal...
Thinking this, he had already closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, Kiana Kaslana's body fragrance was already close. He felt his arm being wrapped by something soft. Looking down, Kiana Kaslana was holding his left arm, in a bird-like, pitiful posture.
Her exquisite face with light makeup was even more radiant than usual, and her blue eyes were like the color of the sky, with a faint mist that had a weak feeling.
His arm was pressed against the girl's body, and even through the fabric of the dress, it felt like he could touch that elastic body.
Clearly, it was a fragrant scene that normal men would desire, but Su Mu didn't have any interest, feeling only like the sky was falling.
"W-What! Kiana Kaslana, why did you suddenly hug me! In broad daylight, are you going to kidnap a man?!"
Theresa Apocalypse stared with eyes wide in disbelief, her head buzzing.
No, when did Kiana Kaslana and Su Mu become this kind of relationship? Why hadn't she received any news? What was going on?
Regardless, Kiana Kaslana's appearance was just too strange! This wasn't the stupid niece she knew at all!
"Are you some kind of monster possessing my niece? Hurry up and show your original form!!"
Theresa Apocalypse shouted and was about to rush up to separate Kiana Kaslana and Su Mu.
"Oh, Auntie, aren't Su Mu and I already very close? We even have the experience of living under the same roof... Although I didn't understand anything then and was just an ignorant girl, he personally taught me many things hand by hand, bit by bit~"
"Don't make teaching you housework and how to be independent sound so ambiguous! You stupid niece!!"
"Auntie, you're so heartless! Are you going to break us up? Break up such a loving couple? There's a saying in Shenzhou that it's better to destroy a temple than to ruin a marriage! You're breaking up the lovebirds!"
"I, you..."
"And, how did Auntie know Su Mu taught me housework? Doesn't only Bronya Zaychik and Seele Vollerei know about this?"
"I, uh, well..."
Theresa Apocalypse was suddenly unable to answer. She couldn't say it was because she had received a request from Otto Apocalypse and Siegfried Kaslana before, saying they wanted to matchmake Su Mu and Kiana Kaslana, right?
But such a thing, ever since she knew Su Mu and Seele Vollerei were together, Theresa Apocalypse hadn't done it anymore... Not to mention she had now faced her own feelings and didn't intend to give Su Mu to anyone else.
But... what was going on with the current situation?
Theresa Apocalypse and Su Mu exchanged a glance. Although they didn't speak, they could both feel each other's helplessness.
"Hmm? A call from Grandpa?"
Just then, Otto Apocalypse's phone rang at Theresa Apocalypse's waist. She took out her phone.
"Theresa Apocalypse—! Great, I finally got through to you... Listen to me, listen to me, someone from the Kaslana family has come..."
Otto Apocalypse on the other end of the phone, sounding panicked, made Theresa Apocalypse freeze for a moment.
"Huh? Siegfried Kaslana came to Tianqiu City? Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?"
"I wanted to say it earlier, but... but this time Kallen Kaslana also came along. She grabbed my phone as soon as she came up and even locked me in the room, saying it was to punish me for not protecting you well and letting you get into a car accident..."
Theresa Apocalypse held her forehead and suddenly didn't want to blame Otto Apocalypse. She also knew very well that her grandpa was really powerless against Grandma Kallen Kaslana.
Rather, the fact that he could escape and call her was already a miracle.
"Listen, Theresa Apocalypse, I'm currently hiding in your room. Kallen Kaslana is looking for me in the corridor... I don't have much time, I'll keep it short, this concerns the future of Su Mu and miHoYo..."
"Is Su Mu with you? Let him come over too..."
Su Mu? miHoYo? Future?
Theresa Apocalypse was completely confused. Why did they suddenly start talking about such serious things? What happened?
She was just about to signal Su Mu to come over when she saw a man suddenly rush out from the corner of the street and, together with Kiana Kaslana, haul Su Mu onto Kiana Kaslana's car.
"Eh? Eh eh eh?"
Watching the car engine start and the window roll down, a person Theresa Apocalypse didn't expect was there.
"Sorry, little Theresa Apocalypse, I have a few words to say to my lovely son-in-law. Ms. Yae Sakura will come to pick you up later."
Siegfried Kaslana gave a thumb up to Theresa Apocalypse, and the car started, disappearing from in front of Theresa Apocalypse in a puff of smoke.
What, what's the situation?
Hey, I haven't gotten in the car yet, I haven't gotten in the car yet!!
Everything that happened in front of her was so sudden that Theresa Apocalypse didn't react at all, and she was frozen in place. She didn't listen to anything Otto Apocalypse was saying on the other end of the phone.
For this situation, Su Mu didn't know how to express it.
He sat in the back seat of Kiana Kaslana's car, with Kiana Kaslana "close and inseparable" to him on his left.
And in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man with white hair, wearing a leather jacket, looking very handsome.
Su Mu naturally knew his name.
Siegfried Kaslana.
Kiana Kaslana's father.
And his good business partner.
But meeting like this in reality was a first.
Is this meeting style any different from a kidnapping?
"I'm really sorry... Su Mu, sorry for appearing in front of you in this way, but I hope you can understand my feelings. After all, the situation this time is more urgent than imagined..."
Siegfried Kaslana's tone was very serious, which also made Su Mu sit up straight. He could tell Siegfried Kaslana wasn't joking.
"...Although it's very abrupt, can I please ask you two to go get married today?"
His next sentence almost made Su Mu spit out.
"Mr. Siegfried Kaslana, you suddenly say these things... what exactly happened?"
Siegfried Kaslana sighed, tears flowing before he spoke.
"I was trying my best to delay all this, but now I'm powerless... Cecilia Schariac said she's wanted a cute grandchild for a long time..."
Su Mu was confused. Did this have anything to do with Kiana Kaslana's sudden change?
"To what stage have you and Kiana Kaslana progressed? I see that you're indeed quite close. Why don't we find a suitable time to hold the wedding?"
Su Mu froze for a moment and didn't know where to start complaining... Just coming up and wanting to push his daughter to him, are you really Kiana Kaslana's father?
No, there was a fundamental mistake from the beginning, right? Since when did the relationship between him and Kiana Kaslana become so good that they could enter the hall of marriage? In which parallel world did this happen?
"Oh, stop it, Dad, you suddenly say these things, Su Mu must be very troubled too~ After all, you know he's a person who loves work~ And he just got out of the hospital, don't discuss such serious things at this time!"
"Although I really don't want to admit it, Kiana Kaslana does seem to have changed a lot... she just seems a bit disgusting."
"Is there a father who calls his daughter disgusting?"
"Is the power of love that great? Hmm, but it's also normal. After all, I was the one who met Cecilia Schariac, so that's why..."
Looking at Siegfried Kaslana entering his own memories, Su Mu glared at Kiana Kaslana on the side and questioned her in a low voice.
"What are you up to?"
"Just consider it helping me... Su Mu, please!"
"Help with what? You haven't explained anything, how can I help you?"
"This matter is very complicated to explain. In short, if you don't pretend to be my boyfriend, I'm really going to be finished!"
"Huh?"
Su Mu was still thinking about what Kiana Kaslana's sentence meant when the vibration of his phone brought him back to his senses.
Opening his phone, it was a message from the discussion group of Seele Vollerei and Bronya Zaychik, and the three of them.
[Seele Vollerei: Brother Su Mu, something terrible has happened!]
[Bronya Zaychik: The situation this time is indeed very serious... It might really concern the future of miHoYo.]
[Su Mu: ???]
[Su Mu: Does this have anything to do with Kiana Kaslana's change?]
[Bronya Zaychik: You've already met that Kiana Kaslana, right? To be honest, seeing her like that, I just feel like I have goosebumps all over...]
[Seele Vollerei: She doesn't look like Sister Kiana Kaslana at all.]
[Bronya Zaychik: Listen, Su Mu, Kiana Kaslana's parents, Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac, came to Tianqiu City and visited miHoYo not long ago...]
[Seele Vollerei: The two of them came on behalf of the Kaslana family to investigate Kiana Kaslana's work and life in Tianqiu City over the past two years. They said if Sister Kiana Kaslana hasn't changed at all compared to the past, they would judge her...]
[Su Mu: Judge? What judgment?]
[Bronya Zaychik: In short, it's a judgment to prevent Kiana Kaslana from continuing to serve as miHoYo's CEO... I don't know the specific details, but during the negotiation with her parents, Kiana Kaslana suddenly burst out that she and you are boyfriend and girlfriend.]
[Bronya Zaychik: So this investigation of Kiana Kaslana has turned into an investigation of both of you together...]
[Seele Vollerei: I haven't heard of such a thing at all, Brother Su Mu, when did you...]
[Seele Vollerei: Sharpening Knife Jpg]
[Su Mu: ???]
Not long after, Theresa Apocalypse also sent a message. Combined with the statements from both sides, Su Mu finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
To put it simply, after Kiana Kaslana became the CEO of miHoYo, because miHoYo provided a large amount of turnover and funds to the Kaslana family every year, Kiana Kaslana's reputation soared, which also made Siegfried Kaslana feel proud.
But then, someone in the family questioned and denied Kiana Kaslana's character and ability, believing that Kiana Kaslana did not have enough ability to serve as CEO. In fact, to put it bluntly, they were eyeing the fat meat of miHoYo. After all, the profit miHoYo was creating now was not a small amount.
After all, Kiana Kaslana's pure "salted fish" appearance in the past was obvious to all. Even Siegfried Kaslana couldn't fully deny it. Finally, the matter went to Kallen Kaslana's side. Although Kallen Kaslana was no longer the head of the Kaslana family, she had a significant position in the Kaslana family and even the entire Schicksal.
Kallen Kaslana herself was famous for her fair and selfless, open and aboveboard image. The task of judging whether Kiana Kaslana was qualified to continue as CEO was naturally entrusted to her.
She came to Shenzhou this time to judge Kiana Kaslana's ability with her own eyes and see if she had changed compared to the past. If there was still no progress, then Kiana Kaslana would be dismissed.
As Kiana Kaslana's parents, Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac were not supposed to come to Tianqiu City to avoid suspicion.
But Kallen Kaslana said she would judge the right and wrong herself. Moreover, Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac knew Kiana Kaslana best and could see her changes at a glance, and she believed the two would not practice favoritism and fraud.
To prevent Otto Apocalypse from leaking the news, Kallen Kaslana directly controlled Otto Apocalypse from the start, and then let Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac go to miHoYo to collect "evidence" against Kiana Kaslana.
The result was that there was no such thing as "evidence."
No one among the employees of miHoYo attacked Kiana Kaslana. On the contrary, when talking about Kiana Kaslana, everyone had light in their eyes and was full of praise.
That one after another of praise even made Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac a bit confused.
They knew what kind of character their daughter was.
But, clearly, for such a stupid daughter, no one in the company said anything bad about her.
Even the cleaning lady said Kiana Kaslana was really a good girl, and whenever she saw her smile, she felt full of energy...
The investigation results made Siegfried Kaslana feel like he was stepping on cotton, and his whole person was floating.
But soon, Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac discovered after deep investigation that although their daughter was consistently praised by the employees, she had actually not done any practical things. In fact, almost all the work of the entire miHoYo was controlled by Su Mu and Bronya Zaychik.
Su Mu was responsible for the game, and Bronya Zaychik was responsible for the operation.
Their daughter...
Was working as a gold medal customer service in the customer service department.
No matter from what angle, this was a total "President Disqualification"! It's a fact that Kiana Kaslana is popular, but it's also a fact that she has never done anything real!
In her situation, she was not suitable to be a CEO at all, but more suitable to be a mascot.
Under normal circumstances, Siegfried Kaslana wouldn't think much of it, but the key was... the "Mascot President" saying could not shut those people's mouths at all. And Kallen Kaslana might not necessarily accept such a saying.
So, in the process of arguing, when talking about why all the affairs of the company were handed over to Su Mu and Bronya Zaychik, Kiana Kaslana suddenly slapped the table and said, "Su Mu is my fiancé, anyway, miHoYo will be his after marriage, why is it not okay to hand it over to him for management?"
This sentence directly made Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac freeze on the spot, and then Siegfried Kaslana felt a burst of unexpected wild joy—
But at this moment, Kallen Kaslana unexpectedly appeared in the office, looking at Kiana Kaslana, with an examining gaze: "Can you be responsible for what you just said?"
"Of, of course!"
"Good, then let me see how you two are actually 'loving' on a daily basis."
"???"
After the ins and outs of the whole matter were clear, Su Mu only felt a sense of incomprehensibility.
Why are the thought processes of the Kaslana family so strange? Even if he and Kiana Kaslana really had that kind of relationship, what does it have to do with Kiana Kaslana's ability evaluation? Could it be that finding an excellent husband is also part of the ability?
...Well, it seems this kind of saying is not impossible. After all, even for the ancient emperors, using talents well was a highlight in itself. The stupid daughter found a smart son-in-law to help her manage the company. In the final analysis, wasn't it because the stupid daughter had the ability to find such an excellent young man?
But the biggest problem now is not these. The problem is that Kallen Kaslana doesn't believe the relationship between him and Kiana Kaslana at all, otherwise she wouldn't have proposed to witness how "loving" he and Kiana Kaslana were with her own eyes.
"Didn't you say you wanted to become Kiana Kaslana's power and let miHoYo become Kiana Kaslana's capital to fight the world in the future? When you said these words, your expression was quite serious... So, if Kiana Kaslana is no longer the CEO of miHoYo, all this would be out of the question, right? Su Mu, you also don't want President Kiana Kaslana to be disqualified, do you?"
Theresa Apocalypse's speech, like that of a Japanese netizen, made Su Mu break out in a sweat. He was already unclear with Theresa Apocalypse, and now here came Kiana Kaslana... he could already hear Seele Vollerei sharpening the kitchen knife in the kitchen.
"Although this matter is very absurd from all aspects... honestly, I think Siegfried Kaslana just simply wants to take this opportunity to push Kiana Kaslana to you. Even if he knows you're acting, he'll let you turn the fake act into reality."
"As for Cecilia Schariac's side... for some reason, she didn't express her position much this time, as if she had acquiesced to this series of things. This is very abnormal. In short, try your best to help Kiana Kaslana hide it without showing any flaws."
"Although that child is a complete idiot, I can see that miHoYo is really important to her."
"I'm counting on you, Su Mu."
—
With the end of the Honkai Impact 3rd preview livestream, the content of this version preview caused a huge craze.
The news about the update of the "Second Honkai Eruption" chronicle could be said to have detonated the entire Honkai Impact 3rd community.
The space originally occupied by "Titanfall 2" was again occupied by information related to Honkai Impact 3rd as the game updated again.
After all, the "Second Honkai Eruption" is such a heavyweight existence.
In Su Mu's previous life, the manga of "Second Honkai Eruption" was the longest in the entire chapter, and at the same time, it filled many holes, and by the way, it dug many holes... Although some of the holes haven't been filled, overall, this chapter played a very important role as a link between the past and the future in the entire story of Honkai Impact 3rd.
It can be said that the story of the Second Honkai Eruption is one of the huge turning points of the current civilization of Honkai Impact 3rd!
Precisely because of this, the guest lineup this time was the most luxurious ever.
Theresa Apocalypse, Siegfried Kaslana, Cecilia Schariac, and Sirin.
And Su Mu and Kiana Kaslana.
As for why such a lineup could be put together, it was purely a coincidence... Originally, Su Mu had thought about inviting Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac to participate in this livestream, together with Theresa Apocalypse, to form the "Big Villain" and the "Iron Triangle"...
Well, it's a pure victim alliance.
But considering the work of Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac, they might not necessarily be able to leave, so Su Mu's original intention was to just invite Sirin.
Who knew such a thing would suddenly happen, leading Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac to gather in Tianqiu City.
But this livestream was not easy, because outside the livestream room, Otto Apocalypse, Kallen Kaslana, and Yae Sakura were all silently watching everything here.
Looking at the serious expressions of these people, Elysia whispered to several members of her love group.
"Isn't this just coming to be a matchmaker?"
"Elysia, where did you see that they are being matchmakers? If things aren't handled well, maybe Sister Kiana Kaslana will really be disqualified as president?"
"Although it's impolite for me, Elysia, to say this, so far, Kiana Kaslana has indeed been relying on Su Mu! Without Su Mu, there wouldn't be this miHoYo. From this point of view, Kiana Kaslana is indeed unqualified as CEO."
"Elysia, how can you say such cold-blooded and heartless words?"
"Of course I don't want to say such words! But in the eyes of those Kaslana people, this is the truth, right? Even though Kiana Kaslana is so cute, even if she doesn't do anything, I, Elysia, am willing to recognize her as president! But, but society is like this, it's impossible to operate as I, Elysia, want!!"
Elysia spoke with justice and awe!
"In this case, the only way is to let them turn the fake act into reality! With Su Mu's ability, he will definitely be able to shut those people's mouths. In this way, not only will Kiana Kaslana's position be preserved, but my, Elysia's, beautiful girl harem..."
Pardofelis and Carole Pepper were full of black lines. Elysia, your head is full of yourself!!
There was still some time before the livestream started.
Kiana Kaslana sat in her seat, in a state of being lost in thought.
"Why... would my head get hot and say such words..."
She remembered the day facing the stinky old dad and mom, she said "Su Mu is my fiancé".
This made her feel her face burning and extremely embarrassed even now.
At that time, Kiana Kaslana, upon learning that she might be dismissed, her first reaction was to leave Su Mu.
What a joke! This guy Su Mu, it's not easy for him to finally start losing money for her, although it's less than 100,000... but it's not enough to make up for the damage this guy caused to her!
Just with this one game Honkai Impact 3rd, how much money has miHoYo earned? The money this guy owes her is simply uncalculable by now!!
How could she just give up? It wasn't easy to see the light of hope, how could she be dismissed and go back to the Kaslana family in disgrace!
She is a woman who wants to lose her way to becoming the richest person!!
In desperation, Kiana Kaslana blurted out this sentence, which directly led to the stinky old dad on the opposite side having a burst of unexpected wild joy.
However, a lie needs more lies to make up for it.
"So does this have any connection with you becoming completely different from usual?"
"If it's exactly the same as usual, there wouldn't be the feeling of a girl in love at all, right? Facing special people, you definitely have to treat them with a special attitude, that's what love is, right?"
"...Is that why you've become so girly since you saw me?"
"I'm a girl originally, what do you mean by becoming girly! How do you usually look at me?"
Su Mu's gaze was like he had seen his good brother suddenly say he was a girl and wanted to be with him, which was truly terrifying.
"Boohoo... I'm really an idiot! Why did I say such words!! Clearly, I don't like this guy at all, rather, I hate him the most! Damnable Su Mu, making my small money fly away, and also liking to meddle so much, not only teaching me so many things, but also often helping me comb my hair... he's simply like a nagging old father!"
"I hate this guy the most, hate him the most! Su Mu, you wait for me, after this lady gets through this difficulty, I must make you pay back a hundred times, no, a thousand times!!"
Kiana Kaslana's head was full of wild thoughts, and she didn't notice that the livestream had already begun. When Elysia, as the host of this livestream, introduced the guests one by one, when it came to Kiana Kaslana's side, she had no reaction at all.
Sirin on the side reminded her, and only then did Kiana Kaslana react.
"Hello everyone, I'm Kiana Kaslana~ Very happy to meet everyone today~"
The livestream this time was divided into two groups, one was the virtual image group of Theresa Apocalypse and Su Mu, and the other was the real-life performance group of Kiana Kaslana and others.
After all, both Theresa Apocalypse and Su Mu had reasons for not being able to show their faces, so the two were arranged together to use the same camera for motion capture.
For the appearance of Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac, the audience in the livestream room was exceptionally surprised.
But on second thought, then again... In the past, when Otto Apocalypse appeared, it was time to persecute Otto Apocalypse. Now that Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac have appeared, will it be to persecute the father-in-law and mother-in-law?
By the way, because of the arrival of the two, the livestream room began to be filled with "Father-in-law" and "Mother-in-law". This directly made Siegfried Kaslana dumbfounded on the spot, and he almost wanted to just wave his hand and have all these bullet chats banned.
But under Elysia's explanation, Siegfried Kaslana learned that the so-called "Father-in-law" and "Mother-in-law" were actually the players' "nicknames" for them.
Furthermore, this also showed how popular Kiana Kaslana was in the game.
Theresa Apocalypse hummed twice: "Simply a heartthrob, Kiana Kaslana."
Sirin smiled on the side: "It's great to be so popular, second sister."
Only Kiana Kaslana herself was panicking, and she hurriedly stood up: "W-Who are you calling Father-in-law and Mother-in-law! You guys, don't confuse the game with reality, I already have a lover!"
[I know, isn't it the old thief.]
[Why is President Kiana suddenly so excited? Isn't everyone joking?]
[Yeah, as long as it's a Honkai 3rd player, everyone knows, right? The fact that President Kiana and the old thief are lovers...]
[Can't say that, it should be the livestream where President Kiana and the old thief appeared together, right? They look like a couple...]
[Everyone knew such a thing in their hearts more than a year ago, right?]
Seeing a group of players looking "as expected" and even "unmoved", Kiana Kaslana herself was confused.
No, so these guys had already put her and Su Mu together long ago? Since when did such a misunderstanding start? No, wait, rather, it's great to have such a misunderstanding now. In this way, she might be able to easily get away with it...
[But don't you think President Kiana is a bit strange? Clearly, she has been desperately denying it before.]
[Hmm... I think rather than lovers, they are more like the kind of friends who talk about anything? After all, the interaction between President Kiana and the old thief is exactly like the kind of friends who have known each other for many years and can joke at will.]
[Indeed, not to mention that the old thief had rumors with Theresa Apocalypse before?]
[In any case, President Kiana's relationship with the old thief is certainly very good. Whether they are lovers, anyway, I don't know.]
Why did these guys suddenly change their minds! They even mentioned that Su Mu and the Auntie were good, if that kind of rumor is brought out at this time, wouldn't it...
"R-Rumors, they're just rumors! Don't spread false rumors—!"
Theresa Apocalypse slapped the table and shouted at the bullet chats.
"Between me and Su Mu, nothing... nothing... nothing..."
Saying so, her voice became smaller and smaller, and then completely unheard.
Although the chibi character couldn't completely perform Theresa Apocalypse's expression, Kiana Kaslana saw it clearly. Theresa Apocalypse's face was as red as a big apple, and her head was buried directly.
A-Auntie, what are you doing, Auntie! Why did you suddenly stop talking at this time, Auntie!
Could it be, could it be that you've really defected!
Theresa Apocalypse's lips trembled, but Kiana Kaslana read her meaning.
She was saying, "Kiana Kaslana, I'm sorry."
So why exactly are you sorry?
Fortunately, Elysia proceeded with the livestream according to the process. After introducing the guests in turn, Theresa Apocalypse began the play of this chronicle.
[Midnight, February 1, 2000]
[Babylon Labs, Siberia]
Deep in the Siberian snowfields, in a world covered with snow, there was a towering circular building.
This circular building stood here, and a deer eroded by Honkai energy watched this building, and after a while, as if noticing something, turned around and ran.
As the picture turned, inside the lab, research staff wearing white coats were desperately running away.
["Run, that monster is catching up!"]
They were panicking and terrified, as if running for their lives from the Grim Reaper.
Behind these white coats, a girl covered by white light followed them unhurriedly.
She was the source of the research staff's fear.
["Hee hee✰~"]
The girl's laughter echoed inside the lab, but to the research staff, it was the most fatal death warrant.
The researcher at the very back became the first victim. He screamed for help from his companion, but fell to the ground because his legs had no sensation.
His companion decisively closed the door, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the girl passed through the wall and appeared playfully by his side.
["Selfish human✰—"]
["You think you're safe by leaving your companion behind?✰"]
The man pulled out a pistol to shoot the girl, but the bullets passed through her body in an extremely weird way, and he finally fell in a pool of blood.
[Midnight, February 1, 2000, in the Schicksal Babylon Labs in Siberia]
[A total of 322 researchers suddenly disappeared overnight]
[Monitoring equipment shows that before they disappeared into thin air, the researchers seemed to have seen something terrible.]
[But besides some white light, the cameras caught nothing]
[Subsequently, Overseer Otto Apocalypse ordered a thorough investigation of this "mysterious" incident.]
[And thus, the prologue of the Second Honkai Eruption was unveiled.]
The beginning of the story made Kiana Kaslana shiver.
"What's this? A ghost? A phantom? There's everything in the world of Honkai 3rd?"
The beginning of this story was simply like a horror story, simply like a ghost movie, so much so that a group of viewers felt like they had come to the wrong set.
But as the saying goes, a tokusatsu director who doesn't want to make a horror movie is like a soldier who doesn't want to be a general... if the old thief doesn't make some new tricks in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, he's not the old thief.
"How could there be ghosts in Honkai Impact 3rd... Kiana Kaslana, really."
Theresa Apocalypse looked at Kiana Kaslana with a disdainful gaze.
"Obviously, this is the protagonist of the Second Honkai Eruption story, Sirin."
Sirin, who was sitting next to Cecilia Schariac, was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at herself with an expression of disbelief.
"...Me?"
For the story of Honkai Impact 3rd, Sirin naturally had an understanding and also knew that she was a super invincible big villain in this game.
But this beginning describing her like a ghost...
This made Sirin a bit dissatisfied and she pouted, looking at Su Mu with a complaining gaze.
"Brother-in-law, you're a big baddie."
Her address made Kiana Kaslana and Su Mu both start coughing violently.
Su Mu was sweating. This little girl had been calling him that for a long time. When he went to Kiana Kaslana's house to take care of Kiana Kaslana before, she often looked at him and Kiana Kaslana with ambiguous eyes...
"So that's how it is. It seems that the relationship between Kiana Kaslana and Su Mu has been recognized by my lovely daughter Sirin~"
Siegfried Kaslana on the side was beaming, looking like he was about to fly to the sky.
No hope.
Theresa Apocalypse looked at Siegfried Kaslana's smile and deeply realized that this man was beyond hope.
He really wished he could quickly push Kiana Kaslana to Su Mu. His purpose here was not to help his daughter at all, but to start attacking as a wingman!
"That's right! Su Mu is a big baddie! Clearly Sirin is so cute, yet he made it so scary!"
Elysia held her waist with her hands, looking in agreement.
"Sirin, don't worry, when we go back, let your sister teach the brother-in-law a lesson!"
Theresa Apocalypse looked at Elysia's look of watching the fun and realized that this person was also one of those beyond hope.
Su Mu, the weirdos around you are truly many...
As the game continued, the screen came to the First Airport of Schicksal Headquarters.
Theresa Apocalypse, wearing a qipao and bun hairstyle, was holding little Kiana Kaslana for a photo.
The photographer was Siegfried Kaslana. After taking the photo, Cecilia Schariac also greeted Theresa Apocalypse and invited her to dinner next Saturday.
["N-No need for dinner!"]
["The food Siegfried Kaslana made last time was just like coal..."]
["For Cecilia Schariac to be able to eat it, is it because of love, or just a pure taste idiot~"]
The complaint of Theresa Apocalypse in the game suddenly made Siegfried Kaslana unable to sit still.
"Su Mu, you kid! Even if I like your description of the happy life of me, Cecilia Schariac, and Kiana Kaslana, how can you slandered my cooking skills for no reason? What do you mean by what I make is black charcoal, you blackening a mature and reliable male like me, won't your conscience hurt?"
Seeing Siegfried Kaslana's reaction exactly like her daughter's, Su Mu sighed that they were indeed biological father and daughter.
"Mature and reliable? You?"
Theresa Apocalypse "pfft" and laughed.
"Give me a break, I think this should be the funniest joke of the year..."
Kiana Kaslana also agreed on the side.
"Dad, if it's other aspects, it's fine, but in terms of cooking, you're really at the pinnacle of badness... You should taste Su Mu's cooking, so you'll know that the food you make is not for humans!"
Siegfried Kaslana stared with eyes wide in grievance: "You stinky daughter, you have a husband and forgot your old dad? Protecting your husband like this?"
"W-Who's my husband! Stinky Dad, don't talk nonsense—"
Kiana Kaslana originally refuted, but noticed the gaze of those three people outside the livestream room, and her tone changed.
"Haha, stop it, Dad. I certainly still love you, but I still like Su Mu's cooking more."
Siegfried Kaslana: "..."
Siegfried Kaslana pointed to Kiana Kaslana and looked at Theresa Apocalypse: "Theresa Apocalypse, what's going on with this humanoid creature that resembles my daughter?"
Theresa Apocalypse's mouth twitched: "Don't know, don't ask me."
Elysia clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Probably because of love, after all, girls in love will always have some concepts, hoping to let the person they like see their better side, right~♪"
Siegfried Kaslana: "Right, right?"
Cecilia Schariac smiled slightly: "In fact, it's not just girls who will be like this, Siegfried Kaslana was also back then..."
Siegfried Kaslana hurriedly stopped her: "Ahhh!! Cecilia Schariac, don't say that kind of thing in front of so many people!"
Theresa Apocalypse pinched her nose: "The sour smell of love is coming out."
Sirin had already been : "The relationship between Dad and Mom has always been so good, very loving."
Kiana Kaslana whispered on the side: "Then you two don't go to your world for two, what do you mean by coming to me and suddenly wanting to dismiss this lady?"
The "harmonious" interaction in the game and livestream room also made the audience in the livestream room smile one after another.
However, let alone the audience in the livestream room, even Theresa Apocalypse, who was playing at this moment, didn't know.
This would probably be the last time they smiled in this story of "Second Honkai Eruption".
Soon, Theresa Apocalypse received an emergency order from Overseer Otto Apocalypse to go to Siberia for an emergency mission.
On the other side, at the military base in Arizona, USA, Welt Yang was training his ability as the Herrscher of Reason.
Einstein told Welt Yang about the response of the Herrscher of the Void awakening. Welt Yang ordered Tesla to mobilize the Titan units, and he would personally go to Siberia to eliminate the Herrscher of the Void.
The peaceful days thus ended.
In the following stages, information related to the Babylon Labs was also displayed on the game screen.
[The Babylon Tower is a lab located on the Siberian snowfields. It is the second-largest Honkai energy research facility of Schicksal. Inside the Babylon Tower, a Honkai energy reactor with a power of 6500HW is installed, which is the third-largest Honkai energy reactor in the world. It continuously provides energy to the three scientific research departments in this 152-meter-tall giant building.]
[The tower is divided into 50 floors. The bottom 20 floors are the energy zone where the reactor is placed, and the other 30 floors are divided into three research departments.]
[Among the three departments, the Advanced Systems Department is the most important research area of this base. It researches the technology of combining Honkai energy with the human body—Stigmata is the most important result produced based on the research of this department. To the outside world, the Advanced Systems Department also disguises itself as the world's largest and most authoritative medical institution—a medical research institution for treating Honkai energy diseases.]
[The Advanced Systems Department mainly researches the technology of combining Honkai energy with the human body. Stigmata technology is one of the important results. The Weapons Department is responsible for the weapons for combat after converting Honkai energy according to the theory proposed by the Energy Department, and is now assisting the headquarters in the research of [Godsbane] weapons. The Energy Department is mainly responsible for the research of the basic theory of Honkai energy and providing support for the development of other projects.]
And this was the starting point of the Second Honkai Eruption.
After meeting with Patricia Highsmith, one of the members of Squad Snowwolf, Theresa Apocalypse began to investigate the monitoring inside the Babylon Labs, trying to find clues of the disappearance of the research staff.
During the investigation, the two heard a girl's calling.
They discovered that there were prisons inside the Babylon Labs, and those held in them were human girls.
After rescuing these girls, Theresa Apocalypse also learned that they were experimental subjects used by Schicksal for experiments.
Every year, Schicksal would collect thousands of such experimental subjects from all over the world.
Because they were orphans.
No one cared about whether they lived or died.
This scene also made Cecilia Schariac frown. After all, the reason she founded St. Freya Academy in reality was to hope that no matter what kind of child it was, they could find their place in St. Freya Academy and live as a human being with dignity. Therefore, every year St. Freya Academy would enroll a large number of impoverished students and provide them with various forms of help in life and study.
Hoping children could live happily in a peaceful era and bravely pursue their dreams—this had always been Cecilia Schariac's wish.
Therefore, she felt very sad in her heart when she saw these poor orphans becoming Schicksal's experimental subjects.
[Hmph, in that case, the disappearance of those research staff is entirely their own fault.]
[Sirin was also an experimental subject here, who knows what kind of inhuman treatment and torture she suffered!]
[Exactly, it's normal for Sirin to retaliate against these research staff. If it were me, I wouldn't let them go either.]
[Human experiments are entirely against ethics and law, and none of these research staff are innocent!]
The audience in the livestream room also felt a burst of indignation.
While Theresa Apocalypse was telling these girls about St. Freya Academy, hoping these girls could join St. Freya Academy and live as humans rather than tools.
At the end of the team, the purple-haired girl felt disdainful.
["Really can say beautiful words..."]
There was no doubt that it was Sirin.
As time came to night, Sirin went alone to the Honkai reactor, wanting to absorb Honkai energy to recover her strength.
But at this moment, Patricia Highsmith suddenly appeared and caught Sirin.
However, Patricia Highsmith was ultimately no match for Sirin and was finally defeated, with her whereabouts unknown.
This incident also triggered Schicksal's attention. Otto Apocalypse sent two more members of Squad Snowwolf to the Babylon Labs.
And Siegfried Kaslana.
On the other side, Welt Yang, Tesla, and Einstein, the Anti-Entropy units, also arrived in Siberia.
Here, Welt Yang met the missing Patricia Highsmith—she didn't die in the battle with Sirin, but lost an arm, but finally saved her life.
She was a spy planted by Anti-Entropy in Schicksal and told Welt Yang about the affairs of the Babylon Labs.
Through Patricia Highsmith's news, Welt Yang also learned the fact that Sirin had really awakened.
On the other side, after the battle with Patricia Highsmith, Sirin felt very happy about the fact that she had defeated a Valkyrie.
["Haha✰, hahahaha✰..."]
["It's my win✰... even the Valkyrie is not my match, I want to continue to absorb the Honkai energy of that reactor, I want to become stronger!"]
["Then, I will kill all the hypocritical adults!"]
Clearly she was a girl no more than ten years old, but the killing intent in Sirin's eyes made the audience feel chilled.
"Sirin, poor child, what did she experience to become like this..."
Seeing Sirin's hateful expression in the game, Cecilia Schariac couldn't help but hug the Sirin beside her, showing a very sad expression.
This also made the audience in the livestream room feel a burst of indignation. This was all Otto Apocalypse's fault! If it weren't for Otto Apocalypse, Sirin wouldn't have become like this... especially seeing this Sirin blinded by hatred in the game, compared with the Sirin surrounded by parents and love in the livestream...
This contrast was even more heartbreaking!!
In the game, Sirin encountered a mosquito-sized Honkai Beast, and the other party told her that it would help her lure away Theresa Apocalypse.
So that Sirin could take the opportunity to absorb Honkai energy.
As a large number of Honkai Beasts appeared, Theresa Apocalypse was about to take Oath of Judah and become the Judah launcher.
Siegfried Kaslana arrived with Nikolas Apocalypse and Salome Jokanaan of Squad Snowwolf to stop these Honkai Beast groups.
However, because Theresa Apocalypse went to the combat command room, Sirin still seized the opportunity to start absorbing Honkai energy by the Honkai reactor.
Sirin, who was continuously absorbing Honkai energy and feeling her power growing, suddenly learned from her panicked subordinates that a very troublesome person was coming here.
That was Welt Yang of Anti-Entropy.
Anti-Entropy had already guessed that Sirin was continuously absorbing Honkai energy, so they proposed to temporarily cooperate with Siegfried Kaslana and others.
Although Siegfried Kaslana was cautious about Anti-Entropy, he finally agreed to the request for cooperation under Welt Yang's sincerity.
At the same time, Siegfried Kaslana reported the matter of cooperation with Anti-Entropy to Otto Apocalypse at Schicksal headquarters.
At this time, Otto Apocalypse was in the virtual space, watching his younger self and Kallen Kaslana playing carefreely on the lawn.
"Pfft... I say Mr. Otto Apocalypse, you wouldn't have been like this for these five hundred years, would you..."
This scene made Yae Sakura outside the livestream room unable to help but laugh.
"Hmm... it's indeed something Otto Apocalypse would do."
Kallen Kaslana nodded in agreement.
"...I'm completely unable to refute."
Otto Apocalypse surrendered, and at the same time could understand his behavior in the game. After all, five hundred years is too long for a human. Seeing Kallen Kaslana every day really helps strengthen his conviction.
After all, this Otto Apocalypse in the game is supported entirely by conviction. If this conviction is gone, he really won't be far from death.
["Welt Yang? The debt from 1955 hasn't been settled yet."]
Hearing this name, Otto Apocalypse was first startled, but after seeing the image materials on Siegfried Kaslana's side, he found that the man was not the Welt Joyce he knew.
Smart as Otto Apocalypse, he soon realized three possibilities, and because of his plan, he agreed to the cooperation between Siegfried Kaslana and Anti-Entropy.
["Since he is willing to act as a pioneer, let him have his way."]
["When my new body is adjusted, even the first Herrscher will be easily stepped on by me."]
Otto Apocalypse looked at his new body in the container. That body gave him full confidence, even making him feel that the first Herrscher would be easily stepped on by him!
Looking at Otto Apocalypse in the game, Theresa Apocalypse couldn't help but sigh: "I have a feeling... Grandpa is going to do something bad again this time."
Siegfried Kaslana shrugged: "After all, Otto Apocalypse in the game is a complete villain, it's strange if he doesn't do something..."
He coughed a few times: "Of course, Otto Apocalypse in reality won't be like this... after all, I've been old friends with him for so many years, I still know him very well. Although that guy is an irredeemable granddaughter-con..."
Seeing Siegfried Kaslana talking eloquently, although Otto Apocalypse had a smile on his face, he had already started taking notes in his heart.
"This guy Siegfried Kaslana is talking eloquently there. Believe it or not, I'll separate Su Mu and Kiana Kaslana right away. There are so many good girls in Schicksal, I'll find one to steal your good son-in-law, will you cry on the spot?"
At the same time Siegfried Kaslana and Anti-Entropy entered the Babylon Labs.
Sirin had already escaped the Babylon Labs with her ability and even entered before a strange egg.
After entering the egg, Sirin saw the scene of her younger self crying helplessly by her mother's sickbed.
["Mom, don't leave me alone..."]
Watching her younger self's helpless appearance and recalling that painful experience, Sirin also couldn't help but shed tears.
["I don't want to..."]
In her lost mumbling, a voice also sounded at this moment.
["That's right, tear open the human heart, and you can become a true Herrscher!"]
Sirin's tragic past was finally revealed to the audience at this moment.
Inside the Babylon Labs, Einstein and others also found that Sirin had escaped. To find her whereabouts, Einstein even helped Oath of Judah turn on the tracking function.
Even Theresa Apocalypse herself didn't know that Oath of Judah could do such a thing.
This also made the audience in the livestream room joke that Theresa Apocalypse is indeed a Judah launcher, and the Valkyrie Judah is so powerful.
After all, in the game, the Valkyrie Pledge is a pure Judah launcher, and the damage of Judah is even higher than the main body... with the official jokes and persecution, the joke of the Valkyrie Judah and her launcher Theresa Apocalypse has been passed down.
Under the tracking of Oath of Judah, everyone finally found Sirin's whereabouts, but a new batch of Honkai Beasts suddenly appeared to buy time for Sirin.
Under Welt Yang's suggestion, Einstein stayed to guard the Babylon Tower, and Siegfried Kaslana and Theresa Apocalypse set off with Welt Yang.
At the same time, Cecilia Schariac, after finishing grocery shopping and going home, received a communication from Siegfried Kaslana and learned that he couldn't come back for dinner due to the mission.
After the communication ended, Cecilia Schariac found a blond, blue-eyed boy by the roadside, wearing a white shirt that didn't match his body size...
["This child... who is he?"]
Looking at his appearance similar to Otto Apocalypse, Cecilia Schariac couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
It turned out that this Otto Apocalypse was because he was too hurried in adjusting the new body, which led to an error, so he could only use this backup body for now.
Seeing Otto Apocalypse who turned into a child, I don't know who started it...
[Pfft!! Lord Otto Apocalypse?]
[How did Lord Otto Apocalypse become a kid!!]
[Self-inflicted trouble, hahahaha!!]
[Good luck, Lord Otto Apocalypse!!]
The livestream room was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere. Otto Apocalypse outside the livestream room couldn't help but stare with eyes wide, feeling a bit crazy.
Su Mu, you kid, why do you keep picking on Otto Apocalypse alone!!
