Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Are there any living creatures inside?

Maybe there is...

If assassins are considered living beings.

Soon after... Jiuxiao followed the tracks and the enormous roaring noise to find the roaring Hyperion.

Having already resorted to sacrificing its tail to survive, how much better could the Hyperion possibly fare...?

A dark, swarming mass of Honkai creatures enveloped the train, shaping it into a grotesque sphere…

Thanks to the Hyperion's powerful propulsion, the Hyperion continued to move forward at high speed.

However, the relentless attacks and erosion by the Honkai creatures caused the Hyperion's cabins to crack and catch fire, leaving many areas in grave danger...

"You go help first, I'll clean up outside."

"Ah."

Jiuxiao threw Penglai Temple Jiuxiao into the broken cabin, then activated his thermal vision to begin clearing away the Honkai creatures around the ship.

Penglaiji Jiuxiao, upon entering the ship's cabin, took two deep breaths. Although she and Jiuxiao had talked a lot along the way, offering each other much encouragement, upon stepping onto the Hyperion… her heart still couldn't find peace…

The Hyperion is a fully enclosed warship; from inside, except for the command room and bedrooms, one generally cannot see the outside world. Therefore, aside from Himeko in the command room, to everyone else, Houraiji Kushou was already dead…

"..." When she saw the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple and the Honkai creatures appear together, Amisa fell into deep thought.

"Damn, even you've become a suicide squad member! Don't worry, I'll definitely avenge you!"

Emisha raised his gun, ready to fire upon the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple.

Penglaiji Jiuxiao, who had been hesitant and unsure of what to do, immediately became clear-headed.

"Emisha! It's one of us! Don't shoot!"

After saying that, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao raised his twin daggers and stabbed them into the foreheads of the bewildered Honkai creatures on either side.

Hearing that Jiuxiao could still speak, Amisa realized she had made a mistake. She began to fire to provide cover for Jiuxiao while approaching her.

"You scared me to death! They said you were also within the range of the main guns' attack. I thought you were dead too!"

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens nodded. "Yes... if my brother hadn't saved me, I might really have died..."

"That bastard Himeko... Never mind, let's focus on surviving first. The situation is dire."

"Ah."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao continued fighting the Honkai creatures inside the pod, while Amisa left to mobilize other personnel.

.........

"Hey there! Forget about the supplies, get to a safe place right now!"

"Report! The fire in the forward compartment has spread!"

"Fire? What are you reporting to me for then! Go put out the fire!"

"But... there are still Honkai creatures there..."

"Honkai creatures... So what? If the fire isn't put out, we'll all be burned to death here!"

…………

"Iserline, what are you doing hiding here! Where's your Homu robot! Activate it and come help me right now!!"

“Gone…they’re all gone…all my hard work, all gone…” Iselin lay in the warehouse, her face ashen.

"Stop playing dead! Get moving!"

Emisha angrily pulled Iserline up and led her into the fire to put it out.

"No! Don't! Don't drag me into the fire!"

…………

Seele, her face somber, fought alongside her unit inside the cabin. Her scythe sliced ​​through one Honkai creature, only for another to rush up in almost immediately.

Even the Hyperion's defenses were breached; Seele knew without even thinking what would happen to the ordinary train trailing behind the Hyperion...

…………

"You killed them! You bastard, those people were our family. They gave you their hearts and souls without reservation, and you just killed them!!" Bronya angrily questioned Himeko.

Not only because Himeko once again fired upon the combat personnel clearing the way, and then closed the hatches, leaving behind those who hadn't yet boarded the ship... but also because not long ago she directly severed the connection between the Hyperion and the train, using the passengers from the train behind as bait.

"..." Himeko remained silent for a long time, letting Bronya question and berate her.

"Bronya...you've lost your mind. Calm down..."

"Calm down? How can I calm down... They're all dead! They're all dead... We built shelters, we created the Firemoths... wasn't it all to protect them...? But now they're all gone..."

"But that's the best-case scenario... Otherwise, we might have died in the thunderstorm or from attacks by Honkai creatures..."

Snapped--

Bronya slapped Himeko.

“I don’t believe you didn’t see what happened next… The only thing Jiuxiao could stop was you destroying all of this.”

"We can only trust ourselves..."

"So you killed the others!!"

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

Seele and Penglai Temple Nine Heavens attacked from both sides and dealt with the Honkai creatures inside the ship. The emergency damage control of the damaged area inside the ship has been completed. Amysa also led her people to put out the fire, and the injured personnel were transferred to a safe place. Nine Heavens also cleared out the Honkai creatures that rushed up from outside.

The Hyperion is safe for now... It is traveling smoothly on the railway, heading towards an unknown destination.

Bronya locked herself in the warehouse, while the rest of the group gathered in the command room.

Himeko looked at the few remaining people and asked Amisa in a hoarse voice.

"Emisha... is there a statistic on how many people are left?"

Emisa glared at Himeko. "Anyway, all the people you thought were unimportant are gone. Are you satisfied now?"

"..." Himeko's eyes dimmed slightly.

Emisha left with Iserin and Seele; they still needed to comfort the others.

"I'm sorry... I was in a rush. Bronya is right, I messed everything up..." Himeko apologized to Kusho and Houraiji Kusho, who were bowing their heads.

"It's all in the past... There's no point in talking about it now."

Penglaiji Kusho shook her head, refusing Himeko's apology. Although she understood Himeko's actions, she still couldn't forgive Himeko for ordering the cannon to fire.

"They died so that we, the survivors, could die..."

They said…you remember everything about them. Himeko…could you give me a list of those who perished?

"Okay... I'll get it sorted out for you in a bit..."

Chapter 292 The Sinner's Monologue

It was late at night, and Jiuxiao sat alone on the deck, looking at the scenery outside.

Overnight, the entire Fire-Chasing Moth fell apart... I've been saying that Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens has been somewhat indifferent to these virtual beings, but haven't I been the same way...?

Jiuxiao reached out to the train, trying to rewrite its existence, but failed…

"What are you doing here..." Himeko, carrying several bottles of wine, walked over with Horaiji Kusho and sat down next to him.

"Enjoy the scenery, contemplate life, and take a look around. What are you all doing here again..." Jiu Xiao took off his cloak and draped it over Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao. It was windy outside; catching a cold wouldn't be good.

"Himeko told me not to keep looking so sad, to stay with her for a while and relax..." Houraiji Kyushou tugged at Kyushou's cloak and gave some back to Kyushou.

"Hmm... gulp gulp..." Himeko picked up the wine and drank the whole bottle in one go.

"It's been a while since I've had a drink... Would you guys like a few bottles?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not an adult yet and I can't drink alcohol..." Penglaiji Jiuxiao waved his hand and refused.

Jiuxiao and Jizi turned around at the same time, both looking at her speechlessly.

Penglaiji Jiuxiao blinked, looking completely innocent, and said, "I really am a minor..."

"The world is already destroyed, and you still abide by this meaningless rule... Here! Take it!"

Himeko picked up two bottles of beer and placed them in Hōraiji Kyushō's arms, then handed one bottle to Kyushō.

Jiuxiao didn't stand on ceremony and took two sips as soon as he opened it.

Seeing that the two of them had drunk, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao could only take a small sip himself.

"Cough cough cough..."

Then, Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens choked on its own...

Watching Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao cough while stubbornly taking a couple more sips, Jiuxiao couldn't help but think of the days when he was forced to drink. Alas, things had changed...

“Useless…” Jiu Xiao muttered to himself.

Although the train was very noisy, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was right next to Jiuxiao and heard it immediately.
