Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Jiuxiao: "I have no surname, Jiuxiao. The Jiuxiao from beyond the Nine Heavens."

Seeing Jiu Xiao's proud and self-satisfied expression, the guide hesitated for a long time before filling in "No surname - Jiu Xiao" in the information.

After filling it out, the guide seemed to remember something and asked again, "Guest, I'd like to confirm something. Are you sure your name is 'No Surname Jiuxiao' and not 'Penglai Temple Jiuxiao'?"

Upon hearing the name Jiuxiao from Penglai City, Jiuxiao slammed his hand on the table and sat up straight.

"Penglai Temple Nine Heavens?! She's in this world too? Why does she think I'm Penglai Temple Nine Heavens?"

"Um, I don't quite understand what you mean. But... here's the thing, the train crew received a message from a survivor named Houraiji Kyusou, which is why we dispatched the train for rescue. But after we found Houraiji Kyusou, we also found you nearby..."

This makes it impossible for us to confirm whether you or that girl is actually Penglaiji Jiuxiao. However, you are both valuable survivors, so the train crew brought you back together.

"I see... But it's not a big deal. Could I meet that Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple?"

Jiuxiao looked out the car window and saw his reflection in the mirror.

Her long, reddish-purple hair trailed on the ground, with a tuft of red and blue hair sticking out in the very center of her front.

And those beautiful big red eyes, they're so pretty, but that silly Kiana always thinks she has conjunctivitis...

The Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple... it should look similar to me, right? After all, we are the same leaf from different worlds...

He was quite interested in his alternate-world counterpart.

Then Guide Number Five poured cold water on Jiu Xiao's enthusiasm.

"I'm sorry, not right now. Penglai Temple Nine Heavens suffered severe brain damage, causing her to lose all her memories. Guide No. 6 is currently providing her with psychological counseling and explaining her condition."

Once the train arrives at the station and enters the rebel base, you will be able to make contact.

"Alright, then please continue explaining the situation."

Jiuxiao, propping his chin on one hand, sat bored in his seat listening to the guide's explanation. He was also mentally planning what he should say when he met Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

…………

No, no, if Penglai Temple and Jiuxiao exist, then it means I'm still in the world where Janna and Divine Na exist...

Then how come Janna is said to be dead, and how come the world has already been destroyed?

Where's Kiana with the Stigmata? Why is she still sleeping?!

Chapter 243 Encounter with Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, a Major Failure of Deception

"The train is about to arrive at the station. Please gather your belongings..."

boom--

"Warning: This train has been attacked by Honkai creatures. Passengers, please remain calm and follow the instructions of the train staff for evacuation."

"Jiuxiao, please come with me this way for a safe evacuation."

The Houmu robot guide, number five, kept shouting loudly as it guided Jiuxiao to follow its lead.

"Help! Help! I'm dying! Jiuxiao, please come this way! Help! Help! I'm dying!"

Jiu Xiao watched as Guide Number Five alternated between panicked cries for help and nonchalant directions.

"Alright, alright, shut up. You won't die with me here." Jiu Xiao grabbed the guide by both ears and lifted him up.

The train's alarm kept beeping, and along with the shouts of the guide, Number Five, Jiu Xiao didn't feel any danger or tension, but he was still annoyed.

However, when Jiu Xiao followed the guide No. 5 to carriage No. 1, the people in carriage No. 6 also caught up with Jiu Xiao and met him.

A girl named Penglaiji Jiuxiao, who was almost identical to him except for her height and figure, was also hurrying along, pulling on the guide's ear, just like Jiuxiao.

Upon seeing Jiuxiao's back, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao paused for a moment, then quickly chased after him.

"Um... wait a minute, who are you...?"

Jiuxiao stopped and turned around. The moment he saw Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, Jiuxiao's thoughts were the same as Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple: his mind went blank for a moment.

But when he thought about how Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had lost all her memories, after thinking for 0.003 seconds, tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He cried and screamed as he rushed towards Penglai Temple Jiuxiao and hugged her.

"My daughter, I've finally seen you! I'm your father! Do you remember me?"

"Uh... huh?"

If seeing Jiuxiao before only left him a little stunned, Jiuxiao's current behavior has completely overclocked his brain.

"Um...you must have mistaken me for someone else...?" Penglaiji Jiuxiao was a little flustered, letting Jiuxiao hug him. Although Jiuxiao gave him a sense of familiarity and trust, Penglaiji Jiuxiao would never believe that he was his father.

"Why, my precious daughter? Have you forgotten me too? No—heavens, why are you doing this to me!" Jiuxiao knelt on the ground and wailed, as if the last line of defense in her heart had been completely shattered.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao scratched his head, then pulled Jiuxiao along and continued running.

"Stop crying, I'm not your daughter. Although I've lost many memories, I can still vaguely remember that my father definitely didn't look like you. And... my hair is from my mother, my father wasn't red-haired..."

"Fine, that's pointless. It was a waste of my acting skills." Jiu Xiao wiped away the tears he had faked and ran away with Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao.

"Let's talk about the specifics later. My name is Jiuxiao, the same as yours. But I don't have a surname, so you can call me Jiuxiao or brother."

"Okay, then I'll call you brother. My name is Penglai Temple Nine Heavens."

Jiu Xiao and Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao continued on their way. Along the way, Jiu Xiao glared a few times at the guide number five in her hand. Didn't she say she didn't remember anything? Well, she still remembers some things!

Guide Number Five shrugged, indicating his innocence. Then he and Guide Number Six, who was in the hands of Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, huddled together, trembling.

boom--

The train shook violently under the attack of the Honkai creatures.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao grabbed the train's handrail to steady himself, then tried to reach out and pull Jiuxiao to help him stabilize, since Jiuxiao had been swaying so violently he was practically flying.

"Wait... why are you hovering in the air?! You can fly?!" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at Jiuxiao in surprise.

"Hmm, who can't fly these days?" Jiuxiao patted Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, adjusted her gravity, and made her float up as well.

"Wow, this is so cool..." Penglai Temple Nine Sou floated around in the air, completely absorbed in the feeling of flying.

However, before she could fully enjoy the pleasure of flying, a female assassin crashed in through the window and landed in front of the two of them.

The corpse's body was already rotting, revealing broken white bones, with maggots and rotting flesh mixed on her body.

After taking one look, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple lost the desire to continue experiencing the joy of weightlessness.

"What is this...? It's disgusting..."

"An assassin. We'll likely see him frequently in the future."

A red light appeared in Jiuxiao's eyes, and his fiery gaze burned and vaporized the corpse girl's entire body.

"...? Holy crap, heat vision! You're Superman!"

Jiu Xiao put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and struck the classic Superman pose.

"That's right, I am Superman."

"Wow! So... so you also have a super breath, the one where you can take a deep breath and draw away all the heat, freezing the entire ocean!"

Jiuxiao glanced awkwardly at the excited Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. "That effect was too fake, I can't simulate it... And shouldn't you have no memory? Why do you still remember this?"

"I don't know, but it's like how someone with amnesia wouldn't forget to eat, drink, or drive, right? Some things are ingrained in your instincts, you know them without thinking. Like seeing a yellow mouse with electric currents and knowing it's Pikachu, or recognizing Superman's signature heat vision, right?"

Penglaiji Jiuxiao scratched her head, unsure why she had such memories. But some things did indeed flash into her mind like instinct; for example, when she saw that female assassin, Penglaiji Jiuxiao only felt disgusted, but her mind was already focused on which part of her body to attack to kill her…

"Indeed... for example, Genshin Impact, xx."

"what is that?"

boom--

Peng——

"Let's talk about it later. More and more Honkai creatures are surrounding us, let's get out of here first. Oh, and this is for you."

Jiuxiao conjured a virtual weapon array consisting of a greatsword, dual daggers, and a heavy cannon, and handed them all over to Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

"Use these weapons well and protect yourself. You know how to use them, right?"

"Hmm, although they look unfamiliar, the moment I touched them, it felt like they were born to be my weapons." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao didn't stand on ceremony. He took the weapons, swung them a few times, then slung the heavy cannon and greatsword behind his back and held the twin daggers in his hands.

"But what will you do if you give these to me?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao asked with some concern.

Do you remember what you called me just now?

"...Superman!"

"Yeah, I'm Superman, the kind with a body of steel. How dare these mere Honkai creatures try to break through my defenses?" Jiuxiao proudly patted his muscular chest.

The train had lost power under the attack of the Honkai creatures and was no longer safe. Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao chose to fight their way out and head towards the resistance base mentioned by the guide.

Chapter 244 Seele in the Rebel Army

I never imagined that one day I would wake up to this scene.

High-rise buildings collapsed, rivers were blocked, and the atmosphere was filled with strange dust containing unknown substances.

Darkness enveloped the earth; there was not a ray of light in the sky, only endless cold and the aura of death.
