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

Just thinking about it... is incredibly exciting!

Kill! Kill! Kill everyone you encounter, annihilate them all!

Qianjie clenched his fists, and the flames behind him surged to unprecedented heights. Good, very good, it reminded him of some unpleasant scenes.

He stared intently at the screen, as if trying to see through it and uncover the mastermind behind it all.

...

With the full account of what happened, Seele reported everything back to Anti-Entropy.

Based on their analysis of this incident, and combined with the intelligence investigation results sent by Destiny,

This could very well be a new wave of Honkai impact.

"So, perhaps a new Herrscher has emerged? Such a weak energy reaction?"

Tesla frowned, his red twin tails appearing very vibrant in the projection.

Because of the mecha malfunction, she is still stuck at the meeting and can't get out. They're still arguing. Could it be that it might be because of the Herrscher?

"Perhaps it will be a different kind of Herrscher than before... However, there is not enough evidence to prove it yet, and everything is still unknown."

Einstein pondered,

No extremely high Honkai energy intensity was detected. If it is different from the past, it is impossible to determine whether it is real or fake.

So I still have to go there, even knowing it's likely a trap.

...

After entering the door indicated by the concert signs...

Bronya and Seele entered a strange, bizarre space that seemed to be divided into layers.

A gloomy, desolate, and gray atmosphere permeated the air; a deep, thick fog shrouded the sky, which stretched as far as the eye could see; and the corridor seemed to repeat endlessly.

Moreover, Bronya and Seele had already separated when they came in.

In order to find more clues, Seele decided to try to go deeper, even if only a little bit.

But after passing through a portal, a figure resembling a young girl appeared not far away.

Seele decided to go in and ask her what was going on, but as she got closer, she gradually noticed that something was wrong with her appearance.

A split mouth, a black eye mask with metallic edges, two strange little horns on its head, a dark gold bodysuit, stiff limbs, as if invisible ropes were pulling it in the air, just like... a doll.

The exaggerated movements paired with the uncoordinated limbs remind one of puppet props used in typical theatrical performances.

But why did the props come to life? And what about all those people who have gone missing these past few days?

"Welcome to—the Dominion Theater,"

The slightly comical voice said,

She stared at the girl before her, as if she were prey slowly stepping into a cage...

...

"That really is impressive."

Luo Mo smacked his lips, looking at the face in front of him that made his blood boil. He used to feel an urge to punch it.

But now... it's all a mystery; he's now become the one who designed this character.

The word "reincarnation" inexplicably came to mind, making one unable to suppress the urge to smile; it must be a sorrow welling up from within.

"Impressive? This...doll? Could it have some connection to you?"

Guan Xing couldn't help but pick up her folding fan and slightly cover her face, afraid that showing too much surprise would damage her image. This guy... has such heavy tastes?

This doll looks really strange, doesn't it?

I guess I'm just overthinking it. No matter how I look at it, no one would like this kind of thing.

Guan Xing suddenly realized that he had been watching Eileen and Rita fight for too long, analyzing Eileen's personality, and hadn't paid attention to the plot.

It's unlikely that such an absurd thing could happen.

"The entanglement... is mainly because I don't like the other person and think that using them as a punching bag would be a great way to exercise. Oh, right, perfect, let's collaborate on making a punching bag like this, maybe we can make some money."

Luo Mo said calmly, even taking the time to make a phone call to someone at the company.

He felt that he might be good at business and could inject new funds into the Lawyer Academy that he had always longed for.

As for the true Herrscher of a Thousand, the Herrscher of Rock has not shown any signs of awakening and has actively suppressed technological progress, so it should still be some distance away.

"Sandbag? You mean this character will be really annoying to beat up later?"

Guan Xing shook his feather fan and asked,

“Indeed, he’s very irritating. Anyone who sees him would want to punch him.” Luo Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded vigorously in response.

As for whether that sandbag will later become a storage item, or whether the player bought it on impulse? He's only responsible for sales, okay?

At worst, he could make a sacrifice and suggest that they could put up Su Luo's portrait and reuse it.

Think about it, he's really a good boss.

"I see..." Theresa, who was listening in, breathed a sigh of relief. After all, someone who was so rude probably wouldn't be allowed into her academy.

Although it seems completely beyond saving... every single one of them is a blessing in disguise.

She suddenly remembered something. "Wait, if you say it's annoying, does that mean... it did something to Kiana and the others? After all, just talking, no matter how sharp-tongued, can't provoke everyone with profanity, right?"

She was a little worried about her lovely students, who, although only in a game, she could no longer regard them merely as virtual.

It's like... she's terrified that Cecilia, Lomo, or Moonlight will suddenly leave, and then the virtual and real worlds will switch places.

—She had had that nightmare many times.

In her dream, Cecilia died, Himeko died, and without Lomo and Yuexia, she was left only with her students, exhausted from running around, and the world situation was not optimistic...

She didn't want that to happen.

"Hmm? Hmm... I wasn't wrong,"

Luo Mo looked up at Theresa, wondering to himself, "Why has Theresa become so smart? Is it because she's been spending so much time with the stars?"

But he dared not say such things to Theresa's face, because that would be too disrespectful to the great headmistress!

...

"Hmm~, a familiar smell? This is... a Herrscher? Tch—that weak and disgusting Herrscher with a thousand members?"

Upon seeing this, Möbius's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, and even his usually dark, serpentine eyes no longer held a clear expression of disgust.

She had just taken a nap and slowly woke up.

After all, that scene of girls bickering like usual in their friendship just didn't suit her taste at all, even though that pink-clad woman seemed to be enjoying it...

And in the Golden Courtyard, a must-see in the main storyline, she couldn't avoid this team-building activity that was artificially mandated.

So, it's normal to do experiments all night and then get some sleep, right? That's what she thought too. But when she woke up...

Guess who you saw?

Ah, her old 'friend'! Suddenly, all her sleepiness vanished. She squinted, pondering how to deal with the creature before her.

As for dolls, their sense of touch doesn't seem very sensitive, right? Also, those two horns are really annoying. Why not take them off and give them to Alicia? She likes horns so much anyway.

In an instant, a whole host of ways to deal with the other party flashed through her mind. And this number was still rapidly increasing.

"Doctor, you're awake?"

Klein looked up at the doctor who had just woken up, her long sleeves still covering her small hands, and handed him the hot water that had been prepared beforehand.

“Klein…” Mebius was momentarily speechless, whether because he had just woken up or because he remembered something.

"Yes, Doctor."

Klein looked at her with concern, and Möbius's usually ruthless snake eyes seemed to have warmed up as he stared at her, a hint of tenderness spreading across his face.

"Ah~, he's up, Brother Jie, please don't be angry anymore—"

Paddy's panicked voice rang out; this time, she was unfortunately caught in the crossfire—Qianjie was sitting next to her.

This wouldn't normally be a big deal. Although Pado was a little intimidated by Qianjie, it's understandable that the thirteen of them would feel fear towards their companions after being together for so long.

But this time, Paddo felt she would be traumatized.

Under the powerful fire of Qian Jie, the fur on her tail was unfortunately ignited. She really thought that the flames behind Jie Ge were an illusion!

So, did the flames that appeared after excessive anger actually have a temperature?

Little Pado gained knowledge, but she didn't want to understand it only after experiencing it. After a flurry of activity, the fire was finally extinguished, but the charred marks wouldn't disappear anytime soon.

She hadn't expected Qian Jie to react so strongly to the term "controlling the theater," or rather, the concept of a Herrscher...

...

Although Black Seele wanted Seele to leave quickly, having already seen the mastermind behind it all,

How could someone who has fallen into another's trap escape so easily?

At the critical moment, Black Seele stepped forward to fight him.

However, they were directly separated on the battlefield, and both Seeles faced a test at the same time...

During the battle, it was easy to see that, putting aside the opponent's strength, his trash talk never stopped, as if he wanted to break through Black Seele's psychological defenses at any moment.

"Hehe—run away? Why run away? Compared to that girl, aren't we the same kind?"

"Give up, give up, she doesn't need you anymore."

"You knew it all along, nobody needs you, you're a monster, a monster!!"

"You and us are the same kind! Hehehehe!"

The doll's words were harsh and rude, more like a person's venting, chaotic and frenzied, destroying the enemy's composure.

(The Captain's Story - Part 2)

"I just can't figure it out, I still can't understand it, why does Bronya keep asking me to fix her bugs?"

Her legs were half-raised on the sofa, nodding slowly. Her head was turned towards Luo Mo beside her, and she was chewing gum.
