To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Suddenly, Aylvit reported seeing red spots behind the assassins today—these were stigmata; she wasn't mistaken.

The artificially created Stigmata, the increased Honkai concentration in Sky City, and Kiana's words—everything points to a problem with Divine City Medicine.

Rita didn't say anything; she planned to go to Shencheng Medical Center to investigate the situation herself. She had her own stance, regardless of whether the bishop allowed it.

Then, the newly introduced jackal, also a member of the World Serpent, is seen wearing a strange mask while talking to the raven.

In their plan,

It's not hard to see that they originally intended to use Rita to deal with the interference of the Herrscher of the Void in their experiments, which also confirms what Kiana said: the problems in Sky City really have nothing to do with her.

They, controlling all information flow in Sky Dome City, quickly learned of Rita's impending arrival and decided to set a trap, striking just before Rita's victory. (Light Novel Base 7)

Rita, as an S-rank Valkyrie, possesses undeniable investigative abilities, and quickly infiltrated the Divine City Pharmaceuticals, uncovering the truth.

—They are experimenting on the entire city's population, gambling with a probability as small as one in a million on the awakening of the sacred marks within people.

Only those who have awakened their Holy Mark can survive in the so-called new world.

"Are they crazy? They used the entire city..." Rita stared at the data, her pupils contracting involuntarily.

"Really? Sometimes I think so too," the raven in the shadows on the electronic screen said.

In another turn, Rita is surrounded by broken monsters, most of which are the products of failed experiments, turned into alien monsters.

"World Serpent...is it conducting such experiments? This is...this is too horrible!" Kiana exclaimed in shock. She never expected that what was shown in the game was even more cruel than she had imagined.

Even the human experiments conducted by Destiny in the game were only carried out in secret, and even the Valkyries of Destiny were unaware of them. In contrast, World Serpent directly sacrificed the entire population of a city.

Are they crazy?

"Hmph, this is what humans are like." A hint of disgust flashed in Celine's eyes; she was extremely sensitive to words like "experiment."

Every time she hears it, she is reminded of that unbearable time. She hates all experiments equally, especially human experiments, which make her feel disgusted.

"The Stigmata Project...is that how it is?" Alicia wanted to say something, but she looked at Kevin and stopped herself.

This was the plan Mei gave him, but it wasn't anyone's wish, and it had nothing to do with him, the body memory. What should she say?

If...she could have come up with a better plan, Kevin...and the world wouldn't have to be so cruel.

Alicia looked at Luo Mo, wondering if she could place her hopes on him.

"The Stigmata Project is not just like this. Hers is extremely clumsy, crude, and has no experimental value whatsoever."

Mebius scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.

If the Stigmata Project was just like that, why did she bother revising the plan 16 times? Each revision gave her a headache, and then that woman actually told her to stick with the first draft.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that it was her own hard work, she would have liked to smash it in Mei's face and tell her that the plan was not worth using and that there was no need to play such a trick on her!

A shadow crossed Mebius's eyes; she really didn't want to face this kind of client demand anymore.

However, she was genuinely curious how someone like Wilvi, who provided the best outcome for the client, could still stay under her wing.

No wonder their funding is almost the same as mine.

Vervi sensed a malicious intent emanating from her. She glanced at Qianjie and Mebius, quickly realizing it was her fault. She wasn't angry, though.

She had heard of the Stigmata Project before, so it wasn't surprising.

What she was more concerned about now was how she could add new functions to the motion capture equipment that had been given to her. The equipment itself was completed in less than a day, but it would take a few more days to give it the unique features of the Velvey system.

As Velvi pondered this with distress, her dominant personality unleashed its "extreme evil," which was also her proud side.

This also gives us more room for thought. As for her, who is not convinced?

Sorry, in her current state, even the main personality can't beat them all together. How can she possibly defeat seven people working together?

Setting off fireworks? Flicking a flower? No, no, those all seem a bit outdated.

We need to think this through carefully, otherwise it would damage Wilvi's reputation if we took it out.

"No way! Sacrificing the people of an entire city... how can I possibly accept such a plan!" Kiana said angrily, clenching her fists.

"Well, even Destiny wouldn't accept such behavior." Durandal concluded casually, her words carrying more weight as the strongest Valkyrie.

World Snakes' decision to bring their experiments into the open is a direct challenge to public conscience.

The Lord of the World Serpent? Looking at it this way, I realize I am indeed unfit for the position.

Fu Hua watched the actions of the two World Serpent executives inside, and involuntarily clenched her fists. Shenzhou... Sky City?

Compared to the demon-possessed people I killed before, the few non-demonic people in front of me are more dangerous.

Cecilia and Theresa, who were present, frowned the whole time; they couldn't possibly approve of such behavior either.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Luo Mo wanted to ease it. After a moment's thought, he decided to change the subject and quickly finish the story, so he said directly,

"Let's bet on when Sister Tazi will crash and burn."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, all eyes turning to Luo Mo, their expressions a mixture of bewilderment and amusement.

Kiana's expression was very strange. Although she had witnessed her boss's episode before, she still found it hard to accept in front of so many people.

Theresa's eyes widened in disbelief. So, Luo Mo hadn't only tricked her? Alicia, on the other hand, wore a look of schadenfreude, eagerly anticipating the spectacle. Such a beautiful girl...

But the one with the most varied expressions was undoubtedly Rita, who, despite her usual composure, looked rather pale at this moment.

"?" Rita gave an awkward yet polite smile, looking at the recklessly dangerous Luo Mo before her, and still maintained her elegance as she asked,

"Mr. Luo, is there something you're unhappy about with Rita?"

His words were sweet, but they were laced with murderous intent.

What does it mean to "crash and burn"? She's only ever crashed and burned twice in her career! And both times the outcome was good. Rita thought to herself, unwilling to accept this.

“No, I have no complaints. On the contrary, it is thanks to you, Rita, that I was able to come to Destiny and realize my ambitions!” Luo Mo answered truthfully.

He was telling the truth, but it's hard to say exactly how much gratitude he felt.

Just as Luo Mo often proclaims that his favorite is Theresa, Theresa must feel the same way now.

Rita let out a long breath, ignoring the man in front of her, and said softly, "However, I believe in myself. I won't be defeated by these few assassins."

"Mhm!" Luo Mo nodded in agreement.

Then I started the game again.

Rita was indeed not defeated by the Honkai Beasts and the assassins, but the serum that Raven injected—the masterpiece of Schicksal—would rapidly deactivate and dissipate the Honkai energy.

She gradually weakened in the battle and fell into a disadvantageous position.

The situation suddenly seemed to have turned very unfavorable.

"Rita, this..." Durandal looked at the scene before her, her heart filled with worry for Rita.

She was too careless, putting herself in a closed environment, and Rita's condition doesn't look good.

Thinking of this, Durandal couldn't help but ask, "Won't something happen to Rita later?"

"Don't worry, Lady Durandal, I'll be fine." Rita remained unyielding, firmly believing that she wouldn't be defeated by such a petty trick.

She carried out so many extremely dangerous missions, and in the end, she still managed to turn defeat into victory.

How did I end up being ambushed in the game, and in real life too? The two defeats left me feeling terrible, and it's something I'll always remember.

Wait a minute, thinking about it carefully, it seems to have happened after Luo Mo arrived.

Sure enough, this man was an ominous sign for her.

"But Rita, if you could smash through the entire wall like I can, I wouldn't have to worry about getting even a small amount of serum on you..."

"Hehe," a thought flashed through Rita's mind—not everyone is like Lady Durandal.

Without suitable tools, and with the relentless attacks and obstruction, it would be quite difficult for her to get out.

Chapter 42 Fu Hua's Life and Her Inevitable Experiment

Kiana's journey through the Quantum Sea has come to a successful end, and in the Celestial City of Shenzhou, she is also undergoing her own transformation.

Kiana is caught in a dilemma and must make a choice. She will no longer run away, nor will she let anyone down again, especially her deceased self.

The pressure forced her to grow up; her life as a homeless person made it impossible for her to rely on others anymore.

By this time, she had learned to analyze things calmly and to think critically and argumentatively.

She recorded the places she had visited that had been affected by the disaster, and used thumbtacks to pin the locations onto a map of Sky City. At this point, it was clear that these locations were vaguely surrounding one place—Sky City's industrial zone.

So she went there; she had a reason to go.

Watching the Valkyries of Schicksal struggling against Honkai Beasts and mechs in the industrial zone, just like ordinary people,

Kiana saw this and decided to help, easily rescuing them using her Herrscher abilities.

"Void, Herald of Void, don't come any closer—"

But the Valkyries of the Undying Blade, including Alvitt, were more terrified of her than they were of the Honkai Beasts. They instinctively retreated to the corner of the wall, their bodies trembling.

She fell silent, then said calmly, "I won't hurt you."

Alvit was somewhat surprised, as it was different from the previous mission instructions, but she quickly remembered Rita and begged Kiana to rescue Rita who was still down below.

Kiana quickly moved towards the direction where she sensed Honkai energy, reviewing a considerable amount of information along the way, including data on fusion warriors from previous civilizations...

"An all-knowing and all-powerful snake? That man, is he still alive?"

Fu Hua appeared beside Kiana, her face thoughtful. She naturally remembered Kevin, her comrade-in-arms from the same era.

Kiana, curious, picked up the Fusion Warrior Observation Record...

"1475, 'The Immortal Red Kite Breaking the Formation'... Hey, class monitor, the immortal in this scroll looks quite like you, doesn't he?"

"A photograph of the City of London with Dr. Conan Doyle in 1887? Wait, what's this person in the photo..."

Kiana glanced at the person in the photo, then at Fu Hua, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

Could the person who has been following her all this time really be some kind of ancient relic? Or even the renowned Crimson Iris Immortal of China?

Fu Hua, somewhat helpless and sweating slightly, told Kiana that those things were real.

But the most urgent task now is not to investigate her life story, but to find out why her life story ended up in a small pharmaceutical company. We must be careful from now on.

...

"Wow! Fu Hua, it seems your life is quite interesting. Can you take me with you on your next trip?"
