Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

Yuno seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in this city, which was certainly what the Destiny Organization thought.

Only World Serpent knew that before Yuno appeared, the other party must have appeared secretly in the form of another creature.

Gray Snake couldn't understand why "Sikong" would jump into the river, no matter how hard he tried.

What are the benefits for it?

Yuno, a high school student from Chiyu Academy and a survivor of Changkong City, jumped into a river in a city a thousand miles away and drifted into the sea. The government is now preparing to retrieve her body, but so far nothing has been found.

This incident has already stirred up a huge storm online.

Countless young men were devastated by this.

They roared at the injustice of God.

It causes young girls in the prime of their lives to wither away so easily.

Some people posted about it while it was still fresh in people's minds, and were then bombarded with insults from passersby, eventually deleting their accounts and running away.

In short—Yuno became a hit.

When Sikong saw the overwhelming news on his phone, he was stunned. He didn't expect that the Destiny Organization and the World Serpent would not hide the news.

"No... something's not right. According to the usual practices of the Destiny Organization, matters concerning pseudo-Herrschers should be suppressed quickly. Why is this happening...?"

Sikong never imagined that this matter would escalate to such a huge extent.

Turn on your phone.

Yuno is the number one trending topic.

Suddenly, Sikong realized the meaning behind the Destiny Organization and the World Serpent.

"I understand. The general public doesn't know Yuno's background, but World Serpent and Schicksal do! They know Yuno definitely won't die, so... Schicksal is deliberately fanning the flames, just to make Yuno famous, so that it will be easier to find her when she reappears!"

"And it's not just Destiny; World Serpent might also be fueling the fire. If things continue like this, World Serpent members should be coming to me soon."

Looking back, the last time Sikong was visited by the World Serpent was several months ago.

He wondered if it would be a raven that came looking for him this time.

As for that gray-haired mature woman.

Sikong still had a good impression of him.

"Don't just sit there, Sikong. We need to get moving. Our goal is to find the pseudo-Herrscher, 'Yuno.' If we encounter her, try to avoid any conflict with her, understand?"

Himeko Murata originally thought she was going to carry out the task of capturing or eliminating the pseudo-Herrscher.

Unexpectedly, the mission given by the Destiny Headquarters was to find the other party.

. . . . . .

The Hyperion had already stopped above the city. The floating warship, hidden in the night, had optical camouflage on its surface, making it difficult for ordinary people to observe.

They saw that Sikong was still sitting in his chair, motionless.

Himeko Murata patted his head in exasperation, thinking, "This guy is still just a child. He's distracted during such an important mission. When will I ever meet a mature and steady man...?"

The red-haired woman sighed inwardly.

"I understand, Captain Himeko."

After regaining his senses, Sikong touched the top of his head where he had been hit and gave a shy smile.

Fu Hua is Si Kong's teacher.

Himeko Murata was also Shiku's teacher, and he was relatively restrained in front of the two of them.

I can't face them the way I treat Kiana.

"Put on your oxygen masks. The underwater search mission will be handled by the two of us. The other B-rank Valkyries of the fifth squad will be monitoring and patrolling from the air by helicopter." Himeko Murata said seriously. She might be joking around normally, but she was never careless when carrying out a mission. "Did you remember what I just told you?"

"Understood, Captain Himeko. I'll be careful and make sure there's no conflict with the pseudo-Herrscher unless they attack me." Sikong stood up, picked up the oxygen mask beside him, and straightened his back. He silently thought to himself, "Still want to find Yuno? Did Himeko-sensei get my permission?"

Sikong's clone has transformed into a sea fish and is hiding among the coral reefs.

Himeko Murata wants to find the other person.

It's practically impossible for Sikong to do that unless he intends to use Yuno's form to contact the Destiny Organization, but clearly, he has no such intention right now.

after all......

Sikong is currently unable to operate two bodies simultaneously; even if one body is idle, it will still affect him.

The five senses of the sea fish would cause Sikong to experience an indescribable hallucination.

I felt a little uneasy even when I was sleeping.

He would feel as if he were soaking in the ocean, surrounded by the melodious sound of waves crashing, fish swallowing and spitting out sand, and sea creatures slowly swimming and crawling.

Especially the vision of the sea fish, since he cannot close his eyes, the world on the other side of the sea fish is constantly interfering with Sikong's perception, so he can see two worlds at all times.

"Is there any way to block the fish's senses?"

This problem has been troubling Sikong for a long time.

After using his new ability for some time, he couldn't find a way to block the clone's perception, so he could only try to distract himself.

Sea fish really shouldn't close their eyes.

It's like two worlds appearing simultaneously in Sikong's mind, but as long as he shifts his attention significantly to his main body, the world of the sea fish will be greatly diluted.

This situation is both annoying and novel, and Sikong believes that it will be fine as long as he gets used to it.

You won't encounter a situation where you say, "I can't tell the difference! I really can't tell the difference!"

Chapter 104 A Failed Operation

nowadays.

Acting with two bodies simultaneously will only result in both sides being handled poorly.

Moving around and speaking are both problems.

It's easy for others to spot the clues.

Therefore, they can only use one overt and one covert identity. The overt identity is naturally the A-rank Fate Knight, while the covert identity is Yuno. The two identities are staggered, and they will not appear at the same time if they can avoid it.

Using one identity while the other is left idle reduces Sikong's mental stress.

. . . . . .

Himeko Murata and Shiku departed the Hyperion aboard a combat airship.

hovering over the boundless sea.

"Captain Himeko, why do we all have to go into the water to search? What if the pseudo-Herrscher isn't underwater?"

"According to the Schicksal organization's investigation, no one saw 'Yuno' along the surveillance along the way. Moreover, the land surveillance was conducted by the other B-rank Valkyries of the Fifth Squad and the human army. The underwater surveillance is left to us. Only when we encounter a pseudo-Herrscher will we not... well, in your words, only we will not be a free kill."

Himeko Murata offered an explanation, and Shiku showed a look of sudden realization.

The red-haired mature woman said.

Do you have any further questions? If not, then prepare to depart.

“I have no more questions, Captain Himeko.”

The conversation has ended.

The two men put on their oxygen masks and carried their oxygen tanks. The rear hatch of the combat airship opened, and they jumped one after another from a height of about ten meters above the water.

The instant it fell into the sea.

The pressure in the water came from all directions.

St. Freya Academy does teach swimming, and even skydiving, but Valkyries generally rarely use skydiving, so it's taught less often.

Upon entering the sea, Shiku and Himeko Murata communicated via communicator and each explored in a different direction.

This was an underwater exploration mission destined to fail.

Sikong treated it as a vacation, casually looking around along the way, spending most of his time admiring the scenery; the underwater world was quite beautiful.

Seeing with a fish's eyes and seeing with a human's eyes are two different experiences.

how to say?

Although the fish it just acquired is a near-shore fish with fairly good eyesight among fish, it still lives in water with little light.

It's impossible for eyesight to be better than that of humans.

Fish are all nearsighted, while human eyes can easily outsmart them.

The search on the seabed continued until dawn.

Since both Sikong and Murata Himeko are A-rank, they swim very fast and have already explored the sea area surrounding the city in just a few hours.

As a result, neither underwater nor on land, the figure of the pseudo-Herrscher was found.

The other party is just like in Changkong City.

It appears suddenly, and then disappears just as suddenly.

Even though the Hyperion devoted all its resources to reconnaissance, it still failed to find any trace of the enemy, and the search operation ended in failure.

The roar of helicopters and ships never stopped.

The operation was extremely well-equipped, and it also caused a stir online. Even bystanders who were just watching couldn't sit still and joined the discussion, with many people beginning to question it.

Why would searching for someone who jumped into the sea require such a huge undertaking? This is unprecedented.

Is it just because Yuno is pretty?

This is objectification!

Women should not be labeled or treated differently.

Some people even have conspiracy theories, saying that Yuno has an extraordinary background and is the illegitimate daughter of a powerful family, which is why so many resources were mobilized, including the military.

In short, what began as harmonious news quickly devolved into a silent battlefield.

After returning to the Hyperion.

Upon seeing this information, Sikong chose to remain neutral, ignoring any rumors circulating online, as they had nothing to do with him and would never involve him in any discussion.
