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

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

Mei pondered, after all, she had heard from her boss that the other party was very strong.

...

During their journey to Salt Lake City,

The two gradually started talking, and it turned out that Bronya was right. Whether it was the understanding Seele or the new, kind-hearted Kiana, the two quickly became acquainted.

While shopping for gifts, Kiana would occasionally look at Seele in amazement, as Seele was very good at getting along with people.

But things didn't go so smoothly as they pursued the out-of-control mech. Their investigation revealed that their only witness, John Doe, had disappeared.

The lead went cold, forcing them to start with this person again.

Black Seele was noticeably more irritable during this journey, like a powder keg ready to explode at the slightest touch.

When Seele wanted to help Kiana based on her own situation...

She said, "Huh? What do you mean? Do you think I'm the same kind of person as that guy, Sirin? Dangerous, violent, ruthless, you're comparing me to that kind of guy?"

After Seele quickly denied and apologized...

She said, "Then tell me—what am I in your eyes?" Seeing Seele open her mouth but not knowing what to say, her expression worsened, but she still stubbornly said, "Sigh, whatever... Anyway, I won't abandon you. What will you do without me?"

While Seele followed the clues to find out the student's name,

She said, "Look, even the teacher doesn't pay attention to him. Sigh, what a pitiful creature with no presence."

When Seele finally revealed, with a troubled expression, why she had been so irritable today...

She said... "Huh? Me? Not at all~ Speaking of which, weren't you going to ask him about the location of the mecha accident, Detective Sherlock Holmes?"

[Cirin: I feel like I've been insulted...]

[Seele: What's going on...? Why do I always smell a sour smell when my other self speaks?]

[Black Seele: Why? Why Kiana? Seele has already made new friends... I guess it's better to kill her, then tie Seele up, so she'll belong to me alone.]

[Adorable Seele is jealous online.]

[Got it, Hillmouth and Fu Qi! Perfectly fits the detective process, even includes names, and subtly hints I'm a Fu Qi shipper. Mei's already left, but that can't be helped, right?]

"Huh? The other me... doesn't want me to make other friends?"

Seele touched her cheek with her slender hand, a hint of confusion in her large eyes.

But isn't she just another version of herself? She always says she's a coward, afraid of everything, and always lonely and unable to leave her.

She thought... she wanted to make more friends and become more independent and self-reliant.

Of course, I, you, and I all hope you can be more independent and less timid... However, sometimes it's okay for you to rely on others a little, like %%

"The other me, are you talking about Bronya? I'll try to rely on her, don't worry too much about me..."

Seele didn't hear the last word and could only guess.

So, is my other self really this concerned about me? It must be because she's afraid of pushing herself too hard... I absolutely can't let her down.

【? ? 】

"Hahaha—this is really interesting! Wow, the daily life between the two Seeles is so interesting, I wish I could live inside the old man's brain!"

The sound of the Herald of Knowledge bursting into laughter came from the side. He winked at Seele, as if foreshadowing something, but the smile on his face became even more obvious.

Seele was somewhat puzzled by this, finding it rather strange.

But her expression instantly made Black Seel within her understand who had just blocked out the most crucial words.

Damn it, she clearly meant to talk about herself!

I finally mustered up the courage... only to let her lose so completely, damn it!

But now that things had come to this, she didn't know how to explain it anymore. The courage she had mustered had dissipated, and she felt an increasing dislike for the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

[Hmph—do as you please, anyway, it seems you still have to rely on me.] A haughty voice rang out, still refusing to back down.

Kiana and Mei were whispering to each other.

"By the way, did Seele inside me eat the wrong thing?"

"I guess... I haven't encountered anything like that before~" Mei's voice was hesitant, as the personality within her had long since stopped speaking.

"Tsk~, as expected of Seele, Bronya's rival is actually the person she conquers?" Kiana muttered.

"Xiao Shi, there's really no need for you to move in..." Fu Hua replied with a forced smile.

The Herald of Knowledge residing in her mind, and considering how mischievous she usually is...

They would definitely be constantly trying to chat with me, wouldn't they? The immortal rationally rejected the Herrscher of Knowledge's proposal.

"Hey, I can choose not to go, but you can't refuse me. It's decided, there will be opportunities sooner or later!"

The one who understood the law frowned and said,

What's going on? That guy can live inside Seele's body, so why can't I stay inside the same body as this old relic?

She had just been laughing at the other person; could it be... that what the other person could do so easily, she herself couldn't?

No, no, that won't do.

In that case...wouldn't she become the laughingstock?

"Sigh—" Fu Hua sighed with a headache. Even a sage who had learned the art of coaxing people was finding it difficult to deal with the Herrscher of Knowledge who was always full of innovative ideas.

Rather, she didn't get an excellent grade in this course; she only passed, which puzzled her even more.

Do I really have things I'm not good at?

...

In the final witness's apartment, Seele found a ticket on the table.

The so-called ticket, however, bore a name no one had ever heard of, and it wasn't even for a currently popular concert, but for a theater—the Dominion Theater.

"Foolish Jack, foolish Jack, foolish Jack who was obsessed with pumpkins. He picked up his beloved pumpkin, and the pumpkin bit off his head."

Seele decided not to risk her life and would return to Anti-Entropy to reach a further conclusion.

But at that moment, it seemed that Hei Xi heard something.

"That's right, that's right, she doesn't need you anymore."

"Who grows up and still talks to their toy dolls? Toy dolls eventually end up in the trash."

"We are all unwanted people. We are all people who should not exist in this world."

"Being hated, alienated, and abandoned—this is the best ending for you, the best ending for us!"

The sounds were normal at first, but they became increasingly frantic as they went on, even taking on a disturbing quality.

It sounded like the turning of mechanical gears, unlike any sound a normal person could make. It carried a sense of hatred for the world and a heartfelt sense of desolation and misery, a frenzied declaration of the world that made her feel so miserable.

"Who, who is it?" Black Seele asked warily, looking around but seeing no one.

"What...is this happening? Another version of me?"

Only Black Seele could hear this voice; Seele seemed completely unaware of it.

Chapter 154 Welcome to—Dominate the Theater

"Is this the next Herrscher? The Theater of Domination? Sounds strange. But she's got a sharp tongue, and she even knows to eliminate the enemy from within first..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge watched Seele curiously as she explored the room, and noticed that strange, song-like phrase...

The beginning was relatively normal, but then suddenly the line, "Foolish Jack ate your head," suddenly became eerie, sending chills down your spine and making your hair stand on end.

The pumpkin ate its head... Does that mean it became a pumpkin-headed man?

"Inside... well, Xiao Shi, you're quite humorous,"

Kiana thought for a moment, then her expression turned strange. The person living inside the body... isn't that the inside?

The logic was perfectly closed, and Kiana was full of praise.

"But I believe in Seele. The other Seele will never be so easily fooled!"

Bronya said with unusual determination, keenly sensing that this might be a good breakthrough. Her hope of having both Seele and Seele in her arms lay in pleasing both of them at the same time.

The woman inside him was undoubtedly a troublesome presence.

Although it seems like the other person doesn't like her, they are obviously saying one thing and meaning another and are a tsundere. Maybe they like her just like Seele does?

Every duck should have a dream!

As for Black Seele's thoughts, wouldn't it be better for the three of them to start a happy life together?

[Hmph—do you need to say more? That's a given.] The voice in the shadows scoffed. She only ever supported Seele; as for the others? She didn't know them!

"Uh... I believe you too, my other self..." Seele said silently to herself, her hands folded over her chest.

...

"Ha—just playing petty tricks, the Lawyer of a Thousand? A persistent ghost… Fine, at least I'll have another chance to see him."

Qianjie's tone suddenly turned somber as he stared intently at Xier, whose red eyes were visible inside.

But upon closer inspection, it seems he was observing the conversations, the provocative and instigating tone.

"...A thousand tribulations?"

Alicia and Eden exchanged a glance, then looked at Qianjie with concern.

The other person had been quietly watching the video in a corner, but suddenly became agitated again.

It's really worrying about his mental state.

But considering it's a thousand tribulations, it seems... still normal?

"I have to admit, coming out was worthwhile. For example, hearing that thing howling under my fist, hahaha... Come on, I can't wait!"

Qian Jie laughed even more maniacally, as if he could already see that imagined scene.

Those mangled, fragmented limbs, the agonizing cries of the weak lying on the ground, those pathetic, damned thousand-strong Herrscher, the figure struggling in a pool of blood…
