Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

I'm cured.

She muttered those words, her fingertips resting on her chest beneath her sweater.

What welled up in my chest was poetry and nursery rhymes, while the despair and sorrow that had once been so intense melted away like snow into the depths of my consciousness.

She no longer doubts whether the world is only black.

If this were a world where an older brother existed.

So even if it's just him, even if he's the only one who has proven to himself that humanity, apart from bad people, still exists.

Even if that's all... it's enough.

This was enough for Seele Vollery to believe that something pure still existed in the world.

The more she thought, the lighter and more graceful her steps became as she landed on the ground.

The heavy cashmere boots tapped out a peaceful rhythm on the granite floor.

The little girl kept walking, ignoring the stares of others.

I kept walking, ignoring the people who tried to talk to me.

She didn't stop anywhere, but touched the broad palms of the white stone statues along the way, and glanced down at the colorful paintings.

Only after her calves had stepped over the lush green grass, and her figure had passed the towering white tower, did Seele successfully walk out of the academy on her own.

She knew that the transmitter on her body was not a disposable product.

The most likely utility is the ability to send location information at regular intervals or even synchronously, which is not simply a result of analysis.

The constant, faint burning pain emanating from the back of the neck is a sure indication that its effects are still ongoing.

Therefore, staying in place will only allow the enemy to get closer to your important people.

In the little girl's eyes, leaving was the only option.

Su Qing'an's combat strength is unknown even to Fu Hua, so Seele would naturally assume that the boy himself does not have the means to fight against the laboratory.

Even if Su Qing'an proves this, the little girl will still choose to leave.

The reason is simple: unlike herself, who is destined to live in that kind of world, her brother and sister Xiaohua can continue to live under the sun and grow old together. But if her existence affects or even destroys the happiness that they should have had, then she is wrong.

Seele/Velocity will never forgive herself.

The biggest mistake Seele made was her inability to be completely selfish; she was in a half-hearted state before making this decision.

That's a very contradictory feeling.

Seele couldn't be sure whether the transmitter's existence would delay its activation due to the quantum state, and even if she were certain of this, she couldn't confirm exactly when the transmitter would be reactivated.

Given this premise, Seele was even more confused about whether her body would experience any abnormalities when the transmitter was activated.

However, if the transmitter sends a signal silently, it will inevitably affect the people around it.

Knowing all this yet still enjoying the boy's care, one is undoubtedly selfish.

In Seele's own view, this was an act worthy of being hated, despised, and insulted.

But even with this approach, she couldn't stick to it.

She craved the hard-won freedom, clutched the warmth she had never received, and embraced the rare and precious tenderness.

Finally, in the moment when Seele understood reality amidst the excruciating pain, she made the decisive decision to let go. She left behind all the things she cherished and departed cleanly and decisively.

Seele was sincerely grateful for the pain that almost stopped her heart from beating. It was this pain that reopened the cruel picture, stripped away her innocence, and led her to make a choice she would never regret.

Even now, the little girl has no intention of completely giving up.

She couldn't imagine what life would be like back in that lab, and for that reason...

Even if it means mutual destruction, Seele is willing to do it.

The little girl tightened the red scarf around her neck, her gaze cold as she looked at the colorful flags fluttering in the winter wind atop the school tower.

Her lips, muffled inside, moved slightly as she whispered:

"Assuming the people in the lab set off five minutes after receiving the signal, when exactly would they arrive in Canghai City?"

This is a question that can be largely guessed without any data.

The time will not exceed half a day at most.

12 hours is the latest time the other party can arrive here.

In fact, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should take about two hours to reach your destination.

The reason is simple: according to the old man, the United Nations itself is behind the laboratory.

Therefore, the closer a region is to the heart of the United Nations, the more numerous and rapid the spies and personnel dispatched by these forces will be.

Based on the above reasons, the prosperity and uniqueness of Canghai City itself proves that a force like the laboratory must also have its own tentacles in this area.

The United Nations background is the reason why Seele will choose to leave no matter what. Even if Su Qing'an has the strength to defeat more than 10,000 people, what can he do?

In the face of the United Nations, which almost represents human civilization itself, the will and power of an individual are far too insignificant.

The only option is to escape.

The only option was to escape.

She fled to a place where her brother would never find her in a short time, a place where she would never affect the academy.

Only when the laboratory personnel completely confirm her existence can Seele Volleria feel at ease to carry out her plan.

Her deep blue eyes suddenly turned cold, and then...

……

……

The course progressed smoothly as always. Su Qing'an glanced at the clock face; it was already three o'clock.

In just fifteen minutes, it will be time to leave work.

They'll probably face condemnation from China later, right?

However, judging from her personality, she probably wouldn't dare to approach him directly without sending her friends away.

So cute.

Let's take her and Xi'er out to buy groceries later.

The eggs in the refrigerator are all gone, there's only one carton of the orange juice the child likes, and only half of the seaweed and pork floss that goes with the porridge for breakfast is left. I should go and replenish them all at once.

It's far more enjoyable to fill a refrigerator with food than to slay an enemy with a sword.

This weather is perfect for hot pot. Buying some beef rolls and soup base to cook dinner would be a good choice.

The boy was absentmindedly pondering these everyday matters, while outwardly maintaining his usual pace of attending classes.

The sky outside the window is still azure; it is exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.

An hour and a half had passed since Seele left the academy.

……

……

Seele lay beside the pool filled with white doves, her brown coat spread out like a canvas on the cold ground, her petite body trembling involuntarily in the thin warmth.

Her inner shirt was soaked with cold sweat, and a sharp pain slowly radiated from her spine. The color in her eyes had darkened, and her consciousness seemed to have completely left her body. Only the white doves that gathered around her, seemingly very affectionate, added a touch of life to the scene.

The transmitter's function differed slightly from what the little girl had initially imagined. This so-called binding effect was not a one-time use product. The other party genuinely did not want to harm the precious experimental subject, but that was all.

After giving Seele half an hour to recover, the transmitter's punishment began on its own.

Fortunately, the little girl was already riding in a smart, driverless taxi at that time.

Her mobile phone account was linked to Su Qing'an's personal account, so she could freely pay for even long-distance travel expenses.

In order to prevent Su Qing'an from finding her through this clue, she first took a taxi to an ATM that did not require facial scanning and could be used with a password to withdraw money, and withdrew the corresponding fare.

Then Xi'er used Su Qing'an's personal account to call two driverless taxis, placing her phone and hat in one car and having them drive in completely opposite directions.

She then used cash to call another car, having endured the negative effects of being unable to move before finally making her way here.

This is an old amusement park that is rarely visited by people. Although it has achieved a fully automated operation policy, it is far from the city center and its facilities lack novelty and vitality compared to modern amusement parks, so the flow of people here can be described as very quiet.

There are fewer than ten patrol robots deployed in the rather large area, and the number of tourists is probably not much more than here.

I've heard that the deeper reason for this phenomenon is that the amusement park has announced a renovation plan, so it no longer sells tickets online. Also, there are very few people living nearby. These factors combined have naturally led to the current situation where no one is visiting.

Seele didn't intentionally choose to come here; she simply directed the taxi to the least populated and most remote area.

The exact distance was determined by the handful of cash the little girl casually tossed out.

Judging from the fact that she spent more than an hour doing this, Su Qing'an's account must have been unexpectedly wealthy, which led to the little girl's careless spending without any psychological pressure.

As for where the money came from, only the boy himself probably knows the specifics.

The reason Seele came here is simple: it was a location automatically selected by the AI ​​based on the little girl's age.

Children naturally like amusement parks; that's a no-brainer.

After a moment of stunned silence, Seele bought a ticket and entered the amusement park, and the device inside her body began to punish her body for the third time.

The result was that she collapsed next to the pool full of white pigeons, unable to move at all.

“I’m…almost used to it. This time…Xier…won’t lose.” She whispered softly, her voice hoarse and stubborn as it came out of her throat.

Surrounded by white doves and a spring, the girl slowly rose alone under the azure sky. Her dark blue hair clung to her pale cheeks, and her clear eyes reflected the white doves that were fluttering around her. Her posture as she struggled to rise resembled that of an angel whose wings had been torn apart.

Seele used her slender arms to lift her coat, carefully and meticulously brushing off the dust, but she didn't care about her hands, which were bleeding from the ground.

Does it hurt?

pain.

But it wasn't as painful as before, nor was cleaning up the clothes that Sister Xiaohua had chosen.

She glanced at the unfamiliar amusement facilities in the distance and murmured to herself:

"It's an amusement park..."

Accompanied by melodious piano music, a driverless minivan stopped in front of Seele, and a crisp sound from the loudspeaker reached her ears:

"Beep beep beep, dear child, would you like to ride the white horse sightseeing bus?"
