Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"Do you need my help, Miss Susana?"

"No need, leave this small matter to me!" Susana smiled and refused Catherine's request for help. She had already made things worse by reading the book, and if she couldn't contribute to her expertise in investigation, she would be completely useless.

However, not long after she finished speaking, Susana tripped over a hole hidden by the grass and fell to the ground.

"Miss Susana! Are you alright?!"

"Okay... I still need your help..."

--------------

"Miss Susana is truly amazing; she has become the Valkyrie of Destiny at such a young age."

"Really? Hehe, I'm far from that level. Compared to me, Miss Catherine is truly amazing. Not just anyone can be a museum curator!"

"If I could, I'd like to become a Valkyrie as cool as Susana."

"They can't even handle such a weak Valkyrie. These soldiers are truly useless." Catherine put away her pistol, glanced coldly at Susana, and then turned and left.

Susana was beaten to death by Catherine. Yeah, her brain exploded, she must have died a horrible death...

But was it really Susana who died?

Or is it just an illusion created by Yu Duchen?

Just as Catherine turned to leave, the gruesome body of Susana on the ground vanished, and an unharmed Susana appeared behind her.

"Oh dear, Miss Catherine, you're really going too far!" Susana grabbed Catherine's hand, and then, to Catherine's shocked gaze, used the Mimicry Feather to strip her of her consciousness.

Otto, transformed into Susana, uses the power of Feather Dust to search for the information he needs in Catherine's memories.

"Tsk, even Yu Duchen can't find the location of the Second Divine Key. This idiot woman is indeed just a discarded pawn."

After his search yielded no results, Otto casually destroyed Catherine's consciousness with Feather Dust, then wiped his hands with a look of disgust.

"However, even a discarded pawn has its own purpose."

Otto took out the extractor, inserted it into Catherine's body, and then injected it into his own soul steel body.

Otto, who had originally transformed into Susanna, then changed his Soul Steel body from Susanna's appearance into Catherine's.

After completing his disguise, Otto grabbed the dwarf grass who had been watching the show and was speechless at Jiuxiao.

"I seem to remember being given the task of protecting Susana. Is this how you protect people? Also, Jiuxiao, why can you turn into a blade of grass?!"

“If you can become Susana, why can’t I become a blade of grass?” Little Grass Nine Heavens retorted, unconvinced.

From the moment Susana appeared, Jiu Xiao knew that this guy was Otto in disguise. Although Otto acted very well, Jiu Xiao could sense the difference between soul steel and flesh even with his eyes closed.

Because the power of the Death Law is to shape and define all things, but Soul Steel can isolate Honkai energy, Nine Heavens cannot directly affect it, so it is naturally exposed.

“I’ll disguise myself as Catherine to meet the mastermind behind this, Jackal. Be ready to provide support as needed.”

"Um...sorry, I can't come. Something happened at the prison too, and I can't get away right now." Xiaocao Jiuxiao shook his head helplessly, and then continued to say to Otto, "I'll try to resolve this as quickly as possible. You can take this clone with you first! Just treat it like a miniature black hole grenade, don't be too kind to me."

"Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens, can you be of any use?" Otto put the little grass Nine Heavens in his palm and left along the road to find the jackal.

According to Catherine's memories, Catherine was the one known as the World Serpent. Her job was to lure the Valkyrie of Destiny into the trap set by the World Serpent's executive, Jackal, and then kill the Valkyrie of Destiny. After completing these tasks, she could go to Jackal to report the situation.

And the jackals were waiting for their fate atop the ruins.

--------------

Jiuxiao severed the consciousness that had been separated from Xiaocao, and then looked helplessly at the white-haired, purple-eyed woman and her army of transcribers in front of him.

A long time ago... this morning.

Jiu Xiao originally planned to get up and clock in as usual, continuing his very unpleasant prison life, when he found himself sitting next to a very beautiful white-haired older sister.

But after taking a second look, Jiuxiao exclaimed in surprise:

"Durandal?! Are you out of your mind? You dyed your hair white to come and keep me company?"

(Durandal's face is very similar to Cecilia's; comparing their in-game models is like playing a spot-the-difference game. Yutu, on the other hand, is a carbon copy of Cecilia, a highly accurate 1:1 replica.)

Yu Tu blinked her big, beautiful eyes, very curious as to why Jiu Xiao would call her Youlandel.

“Mr. Walter, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not Durandal, my name is Misterlin Schariac, but you can call me Feather Rabbit if you like. However, I’d be happier if you called me Misterlin.” Feather Rabbit introduced herself to Jiuxiao with a smile.

“Not only did I admit my mistake, but I think you, Mistelin, also admitted your mistake. My name is not Walter, my name is Jiuxiao.”

"Really? But according to the intelligence, Jiuxiao, you can also release black holes, so didn't you inherit Welt's name?" Yu Tu tilted her head, her big eyes filled with doubt.

Yuto went to investigate a being similar to herself. This being was revered and had become a symbol of spiritual inheritance. Driven by the thought of "why should she be so revered?", Yuto studied Welt for a long time. So, after seeing that Jiuxiao's data showed he could create black holes, she already concluded in her heart that Jiuxiao was the third generation Welt.

"???" Jiuxiao looked at Yutu with the same puzzled expression. "Releasing a black hole is my ability, what does that have to do with whether or not I inherit the name Welt?"

"Then have you inherited Walter's spirit?"

"...Hey, you bastard."

Jiu Xiao scratched his head, speechless for a moment. Yu Tu's innocent and curious childlike appearance made it impossible for Jiu Xiao to be angry with her. But why did she have to drag him and Walter into this?

"Let me make this clear first, I'm not very familiar with Welt. Although he taught me for a while, I don't think I'm at the point where I should inherit his name. Besides, what is Welt's spirit, and why should I inherit his spirit? I have my own worldview, my own power, and my own spirit."

"Oh, I see! You're really amazing." Yu Tu clapped her hands thoughtfully and praised Jiu Xiao.

Then Yu Tu stood up and walked straight through the cell, leaving the cell where Jiu Xiao was.

"Strange guy... so focused on Welt, is he someone from Anti-Entropy?" Jiu Xiao pulled on the iron door of the cell to make sure it was working properly, but Yu Tu just walked right through it...

After a while, Jiu Xiao used the toiletries he had snatched from the jailer to wash up quickly, and then he found that Yu Tu had returned.

This time, Yu Tu also brought many things back with him.

"This is…"

"This is a breakfast I made with love!" Yu Tu opened the lid of the breakfast and handed a portion to Jiu Xiao. "It's my first time cooking, Jiu Xiao, try it and see how it tastes."

"Ah?! This is my first time..." Jiuxiao tremblingly accepted the breakfast that Yutu handed over.

Jiuxiao was already terrified of the food Kallen and Kiana cooked. It wasn't that he couldn't eat it, it's just that you never know what the Kaslana family might put in normal food...

"By the way, Mistelin, what crime did you commit to get arrested? I don't think you're capable enough to be locked up like me," Jiuxiao asked the Yutu who was watching him while eating.

Yu Tu looked at Jiu Xiao tenderly, smiling sweetly. "I'm innocent. I was just tasked with either stalling you or killing you. But I don't want to kill you, so I can only stall you."

"Ah...?" Jiu Xiao dropped the breakfast in his hand to the ground, and his vision began to blur. Just before he fainted and went back to his death, Jiu Xiao defiantly shouted out those words.

"Holy crap, this food is poisoned..."

Chapter 213 The Little Rabbit with Unclean Hands

"How rude of me... Even though this is my first time cooking, it doesn't have to be like this, does it?"

Yu Tu glared angrily at the unconscious Jiu Xiao. After a moment's thought, Yu Tu placed the breakfast she was about to eat on the table as well.

"It might really taste a bit bad... Oh well, at least I don't have to eat..."

"I thought there would be a big battle, but it was resolved so easily."

Yu Tu took out a rope to tie up Jiu Xiao, but when she tried to get close to Jiu Xiao, huge plant vines sprouted from Jiu Xiao's body and wrapped her up, preventing Yu Tu from getting close.

"Automatic protection? What an amazing ability." Yu Tu reached out and tugged at the vines, but couldn't budge them. She then tried to poke them open with her own weapon, a bunch of spears, but found they wouldn't budge either.

"But I've already taken my things out, it wouldn't be right to put them back." Yu Tu tossed the rope in her hand, an idea already forming in her mind.

Click——click——

A few minutes later, when Jiuxiao woke up, through the gaps in the vines, he saw Yutu holding a camera and taking pictures with him.

In the photo, Yu Tu smiles and makes a peace sign at the camera. Next to her is a vine-wrapped rice dumpling tied with rope. Through the gaps in the dumpling, one can vaguely see the unconscious Jiu Xiao.

"Hmm, I guess my mission is complete now." After confirming that the photo was correct, Yu Tu clicked send and sent the photo of herself and Jiu Xiao to Hu Lang.

"Oh, you're awake. How was the food I made?" Yu Tu stood in front of Jiu Xiao, still smiling at him, and handed him a printed photo of them together.

"It's delicious, I highly recommend you try it. It looks so good, but it's full of deadly poison..."

Jiuxiao waved his hand, releasing the vines that bound him. After the vines disappeared, the ropes that had bound them like a rice dumpling fell to the ground.

Jiuxiao looked at the rope on the ground, then at the innocent-looking Yu Tu who was smiling.

Have you ever suffered a brain injury?

"No," Yu Tu picked up a mirror and looked at her face, then asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

"Because I feel like you're not very smart..."
