I found a belt in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

But no one has ever said these things to me. Perhaps I'd rather have a hero appear than become one. But fairy tales are all lies.

"It feels like we've gone off-topic, and you're starting to say random things again." Mo Mo sighed in frustration, "Although I don't know if you can..."

I understand, but that's how I got through all this time, relying on this inexplicable thought... I don't really understand. What kind of person could endure such a long and arduous journey with such a belief? It must be a fool. "Then just consider this rambling," Mo Mo continued. "After all, there's really nothing to say about myself, and I don't think you'd want to hear it anyway."

"Could you tell me about the first time we met?"

83. Desire + Jealousy = ?

"Then I threw my final punch, and that giant beetle, capable only of impotent rage, was smashed to pieces." Momo recounted this while gesturing wildly at the air in front of him, his fists swinging with tremendous force, leaving Kiana staring in stunned silence. "How about that? Didn't it feel incredibly cool?"

Unfortunately, my imagination is so lacking that even with his vivid description, I can't conjure a clear picture in my mind. What kind of scene would K423 have witnessed at that moment? What would she have felt?

More noteworthy than his impassioned counterattack were the words he uttered during the process. However, he merely glossed over them. "And then? And then? Did you remember anything?" Mo Mo leaned closer, asking rather anxiously. "I don't remember anything."

Although it felt a bit unfair to such a vivid performance, what doesn't exist simply doesn't exist. After all, that experience wasn't hers to begin with. "I still can't remember... probably because I cut some parts of the story. There are so many things involved, it's too much trouble to recount them all in one go," Mo Mo said, troubled. Especially since both she and Kiana had suffered major setbacks before coming to this city, it wasn't something that could be explained in a few words, and she might even inflict further psychological and emotional damage on Kiana. "Anyway, you met 'me' in Sky City, right?" Kiana asked. So, they should have only known each other for a few months. "And then you and 'me...'"

Although half a sentence was omitted, it does not affect the understanding of her meaning.

"Thinking about it carefully, it does seem like there was a reason for taking advantage of your vulnerability," Mo Mo said thoughtfully. After all, you suffered a major blow back then because of something... By the way, do you remember what happened back then? [Probably referring to that major incident that happened at the Destiny headquarters.] Kiana thought to herself. But to make the performance more convincing, she shook her head. "I don't remember." I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for you... But what can you do when you have amnesia? Mo Mo sighed, "I thought at least I could remember something, this is really difficult."

She knew the truth. She learned that she was a vessel prepared for the resurrection of the Second Herrscher, and that after the Second Herrscher reawakened, she ruthlessly murdered her own family and friends.

But just when things were at their most desperate, he appeared again by sheer coincidence. That girl was like a princess in a fairy tale who always received help from fate in times of crisis. Although she had been experiencing misfortune, she always seemed to reap more good fortune after each one. Was this a kind of good luck? Compared to her, what was he?

Whispering unspoken melancholy in her heart, a nameless emotion stirred within her. She listened to the story, unable to definitively judge its quality, yet wanting to continue. Perhaps it would breed more jealousy, perhaps it would deepen their bond, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity about "what would happen next." This was their meeting, and then what? What happened? Kiana pondered, then asked directly, "After that, did you stay by my side?" "No, because I went back to another world afterward," Momo replied. Kiana paused for several seconds, trying to understand the meaning behind Momo's words, then frowned, "...what?"

“Oh right, you should have forgotten even that. Well then, please allow me to explain again.” Mo Mo pointed to himself and said, “I, Mo Mo, come from another world.”

"Don't look at me like that! I'm not kidding!" Mo Mo emphasized. "Have you ever heard of parallel worlds? I'm the kind of person who can travel between different worlds. Isn't that incredible? Isn't that amazing?" Kiana opened her mouth, but found she couldn't say anything. She thought it was just an ordinary mission, but unexpectedly, she caught a deep-sea fish. The mission information never mentioned anything like this. So this guy is such a powerful person? Kiana's gaze towards Mo Mo changed instantly. "But...but you're still here, aren't you?" Kiana asked again, "Did you...come back to find 'me'?" "Before that, you went to another world to find me first," Mo Mo continued, "After that, many, many things happened..."

"I'm going to another world... to find you?"

On this seemingly ordinary night, Kiana's worldview was constantly being refreshed. It turned out that her clone, codenamed K42 3, had experienced a life far more exciting than she had ever known or imagined. "Can you tell me?" Kiana moved closer to Mo Mo and asked, "After that, K... what happened between you and me?"

"I'm so curious!" "Oh, you want to know? Then I can only call you..." Mo Mo's voice paused slightly, "I forgot." "Forgot?" Kiana's face froze, her expression filled with intense curiosity. Such an important memory... how could you forget it? "Actually, I also lost my memory, and there's been no sign of it returning. I have absolutely no recollection of what we went through, so I'm afraid you might end up like me," Mo Mo explained. "Come to think of it, this is the fourth time we've met again, except this time it's you who forgot me..."

Even more tortuous than twists and turns, what a rugged road this is! Even the most melodramatic Korean dramas wouldn't dare write something like this, right? Their relationship is truly incredibly complicated... "But don't be sad." Noticing Kiana's expression gradually darkening, Mo Mo quickly said, "Even if I don't remember what we experienced together before, there are still many interesting (probably) experiences I can talk about. How about it, do you want to hear it?" "I want to hear it," Kiana answered without hesitation. Confined to that small world, her experiences were incredibly limited, and no one would kindly explain the beauty of the outside world to her.

Therefore, it is only natural for them to be curious about those unknown experiences.

This was the first time in her life she had ever been interested in someone's experiences. "You can't listen even if you want to, go to sleep now." Mo Mo's expression suddenly changed, and her tone shifted accordingly. "It's so late now, you need to be careful..."

"You need to rest..." Kiana's expression turned bitter. "But... no buts. If you don't listen, you won't get a story," Mo Mo said firmly, leaving no room for compromise.

No one had ever urged me to rest before.

"No, maybe, but that would only be when Mom and Dad are still here." "So, you'll still be here tomorrow, right?" Kiana suddenly asked. "You won't just disappear, will you?" Even she herself didn't know why she asked such a question. "You'll still tell me stories, right?" Listening to her adventures in various places felt like witnessing them firsthand. "How could I possibly leave? Why would I go?" Kiana's question left Mo Mo completely bewildered. ... Kiana paused slightly, then fell silent. "I see, you feel insecure because of amnesia, right?" Mo Mo suddenly nodded in understanding, then gave Kiana a thumbs-up and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I'll always be here, whether you have amnesia or regain your memory. I'll always be there, and not only that, I'll even prepare breakfast for you when you wake up, so go to sleep now." "Mmm." Kiana nodded vigorously, got up from the sofa, and left. "By the way, Kiana," Mo Mo suddenly said, "Would you like a goodnight kiss?"

Yana immediately shrank back into the bedroom.

"Okay." After responding softly, Kiana pushed open the door and rushed into the bedroom. Before the door closed, a very low voice could be heard coming from the crack.

"And thank you."

Kiana retreated back into the darkness of her bed, her mind unusually calm. It was as if all the shackles binding her had been removed; there was nothing to worry about, no threat to be feared. Only anticipation for the next morning.

Unlike herself, who had never left the Schicksal headquarters, he had been traveling extensively since long ago. Not just to other countries, but across the world. How he did it wasn't important to her; what mattered was that she could share in his experiences. It must have been an epic and incredibly exciting story, right? In the utter silence, Kiana lay on her bed, recalling his "first encounter," her mind replaying the scene in her mind.

A rebellion against predetermined fate, a defiance against those who claim to be superior, a steadfast adherence to one's own principles. Kiana longed to witness it with her own eyes. Tossing and turning in bed, Kiana felt a glimmer of light appear in her vision. If she entered a dream now, would she be able to see it? Calming the agitation in her chest, Kiana stopped all movement.

The vibrations emanating from her body dispelled Kiana's desire to fall asleep. Cautiously burrowing under the covers, Kiana pulled out her small communicator. The screen displayed only a brief message—"What's the mission objective like?" Mission? Kiana closed her eyes and covered her face. What was she doing? Had she been bewitched? She had completely forgotten about the mission. Suddenly snapping back to reality, Kiana looked at Rita's message with a complex expression, pondered for a moment, and then responded.

-Continue to wait for an opportunity. ---Understood. Kiana let out a sigh of relief, roughly shoved the communicator back onto her body, and lay back on the bed. Although it was already pitch black, she still stretched her arms across her front, her previous sleepiness completely gone. What was wrong with her? Had she gotten too into character and forgotten who she was?

The person he's connected to is K423, not himself. This kindness and gentleness weren't meant for this "imposter." And yet, he's wallowing in it all, acting like a complete fool. His mission is to bring K423 back to headquarters; what he's doing now is just an extra task. He needs to play the role of "the amnesiac Kiana," gain his trust, and then betray him at the opportune moment, or at the very least, escape unscathed. He must always remember this. Even so, he's incredibly jealous. Both of them are manipulated by fate, but why did she receive compensation while he remains empty-handed? He doesn't care about anyone else, but he simply can't accept it. The growing darkness within him is uncontrollable.

Once he realizes the truth, all these outward appearances will crumble instantly, and she will certainly not have a good ending. Yes, he only cares about K423; he won't let her get away with deceiving him. She had to face this reality. Kiana reaffirmed her wavering resolve.

K423 and Momo were merely her mission targets. Calm, precise, and ruthless—to kill them was what she needed to do. Quietly contemplating in the darkness, drowsiness gradually crept into Kiana's mind. Her thoughts became increasingly blurred. "What if K423 no longer existed?"

84. This world is full of snakes; sooner or later, they're doomed.

"Let me out! Let me out! Get out!" In some unknown location in Sky City, Kiana was screaming at the top of her lungs, kicking desperately at the person who had imprisoned her.

Even without much explanation, it's easy to understand which Kiana this is. 7... Kiana paused, catching her breath, and looked at the steel bar before her, which remained motionless despite her long and arduous efforts. Her brow furrowed.

What a twist of fate! I was planning to change locations to avoid detection, but the moment I stepped outside, I was ambushed. I didn't even see who the attacker was before losing consciousness. When I awoke, I was in this impregnable cage. Peeking out from the cage, I scanned my surroundings. It seemed to be somewhere in a secret base. So it couldn't be anyone from Schicksal; otherwise, they wouldn't have locked me up here. They would have rushed me back to Schicksal headquarters.

So there's only one answer left: this is Shencheng Medical... no, it's a base of the World Serpent.

Kiana's mood grew increasingly gloomy. She didn't know how much time had passed since she was captured, and she wondered if Mo Mo had even discovered her arrest. If he had, he must be very worried. Taking a deep breath, Kiana grabbed the two steel bars in front of her, continuing to pull hard and shout, "Isn't anyone here? Are they all deaf? Let me out!"

Loud shouts echoed in the enclosed space, but in a space devoid of any living beings, there was naturally no response. This treatment had begun ever since she awoke. No torture, no harm, simply placing her in this place, as if she had been forgotten. Fu Hua's phantom stood in the corner of the cage, silently watching Kiana's relentless struggle to break free. She didn't know much more than Kiana, but at least she had seen the face of the attacker.

Although she instinctively sensed that what had happened was not as simple as she had imagined, Fu Hua still hesitated whether she should tell Kia what she had seen.

"Help! Help! You have the guts to arrest me, but can't you at least send someone else?!" While Fu Hua was struggling with her dilemma, Kiana continued her relentless efforts. "Shut up! Shut up!"

The tightly closed door opposite the cage finally opened, and a familiar figure walked in, pushing a small cart full of food. "You damned crow!" Kiana immediately averted her gaze from the cart upon seeing her nemesis, glaring at her hatefully. "Let me out!" "It's Raven!" Raven retorted weakly, her expression clearly showing her extreme displeasure. "You're dreaming! We worked so hard to get this; how can we just let it go so easily?"

"Damn it!" Kiana kicked the steel bar in front of her, but didn't even leave a mark. "Hmph, don't waste your energy," Raven said with a sneer. "This cage is made of special materials, and it's constantly releasing HSN-B46 serum. You're just a weak and helpless woman right now, don't even think about getting out." "You bastard!" Kiana gritted her teeth and glared at Raven. Her anger was so intense that she ignored the cart full of food. "You only know how to use these despicable, shameless, insidious, and vile tricks. If you have the guts, let me out, and we'll fight one-on-one!" "Huh? Still so sharp-tongued?" Raven approached the cage and beckoned to Kiana. "I'm standing right here. Come out if you dare!"

"Come in!" "Come out!"

"Come in!" After several back-and-forths, Raven snorted coldly. "What can you do in your current state? Just be a good prisoner, and maybe you'll eat less."

"You bunch of bastards, what do you want with me? If you're going to kill me, then give me a quick death!" At the same time, Kiana also had a question lingering in her mind.

The other party's methods were far too gentle.

This is hardly the behavior of a heartless villainous organization. "You think I don't want to?!" Kiana's words seemed to provoke Raven, sharpening her eyes instantly. If it weren't for that equally damned guy, she would have already stuffed Kiana into the experimental tank. Not only could she not lay a hand on her, she even had to prepare a meal for her.

Even if Raven racked her brains, she couldn't figure out what the man was planning to do. "You pushover! Eat up!" Raven reluctantly took plates of food from the cart and placed them within Kiana's reach, saying fiercely, "Then shut your mouth!" "Hmph, offering such unsolicited hospitality," Kiana retorted coldly. "Tell me, what's your scheme this time? I'm telling you, you can't bribe me with these methods!" "If you're so capable, then don't eat! I'll be proud if you can starve yourself to death!" Raven countered sharply. "Pah!" Kiana spat, declaring righteously, "I, Kiana, will eat myself to death! I'll die here! I'll stay here forever and bankrupt you all!"

"Eat up, eat your fill, don't deprive yourself." Even though he was extremely reluctant, the raven still feigned a mocking expression. "Once we find a place to buy..."

Only then can I sell you for a good price, hehe, seeing how pretty you are, there should be quite a few people... You damned bastard! Raven covered her forehead, her eyes blazing with fury, a piece of bone fell to her feet. "Hmph!" Kiana glared at her without showing any weakness, and then began to eat heartily to replenish the energy she had used up in the previous argument. "I'll see how long you can be so arrogant." Even though she was burning with anger, Raven could only utter a few harsh words and then give up, "One day I will hear..."

The screams and cries of agony were deafening! With that, he turned and stormed off, so angry that he forgot to pull the cart away.

Another piece of bone struck the raven's departing figure.

The raven paused, then quickened its pace and left. A loud bang slammed the door shut, the force so great it seemed to crack the door open. Seeing the raven leave, Kiana's expression turned bitter. At this rate, there was really no chance of escape. Was she really going to be sold like a commodity? Just imagining it sent chills down her spine. Now, she could only pin her hopes on someone whose whereabouts were currently unknown. "Come save me, Momo..."

Raven stomped her feet loudly in the corridor, her frustration still lingering. Had she captured a prisoner or turned on a tyrant? Damn it all. After leaving the secret chamber where Kiana was imprisoned, Raven went straight back to the area reserved for high-ranking officials. Just as she reached the door, she heard a disgruntled question from inside. "Why did you stop my experiment?!" "It's starting again?" Raven sighed, pushing open the door to see what was inside. A woman wearing a jackal mask slammed her hands on the table; even through the mask, her anger was palpable. The man sitting opposite her, however, casually crossed his legs, not even glancing at her. "Oh, Raven, you're back." Seeing Raven, Mo Ba waved. "How's it going? Did you get the food?"

“It’s a raven.” The raven was almost too exhausted to argue. “As you wish, my mission has been successfully completed.” “That’s good.” Mo Ba nodded in satisfaction, then looked away and began to stare blankly, completely ignoring the person beside him who was radiating anger. “You still haven’t answered my question!” The jackal slammed its hand on the table and questioned again, “Why did you stop us from continuing the experiment!” “Ugh, you kobold, I hate those noisy, nagging women the most.” Mo Ba finally turned his head and glared at her. “I said no, and that’s final.”

"It's Jackal!" The table slammed shut with a loud bang. "Why not? The experiment is already in its final stage. Although there have been some obstacles, they're insignificant, aren't they? Now that even the Second Herrscher is in our hands, what reason do we have to give up? After failing time and time again, you dare to spout such nonsense? Have some shame!" Mo Ba completely ignored Jackal's protests. "If I hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't be seeing Raven Woman now, understand, you head-stealing dog?" "It's Jackal! Did you do it on purpose?" Jackal protested indignantly. "So what if I did? Dog head?"

"You! That's enough, you two!" Raven's already anxious spirit became even more unpleasant after being bombarded with questions. "This is not the place for you to argue." "Alright, let's leave aside the matter of our plans in Sky City being abandoned for now." Jackal calmed himself down and continued to question, "Why did you stop me from experimenting on the Second Herrscher? She's a living Herrscher! You can't possibly not know the value she holds." "So? And then?" Mo Ba retorted dismissively. "Instead of keeping her locked up, you should have handed her over to me. I'm sure I can give the Lord a result that will satisfy him!" Jackal shouted, "Her food is better than ours now! What are you thinking?" Jackal was almost unable to suppress the urge to go on a rampage. Every second of this waiting was torture for her. "Want to experiment on her? You can try. I guarantee that if you put her on the experimental table, the next day, no, the next second, you'll be on my experimental table." Mo Ba raised an eyebrow, "Interested in trying it?" "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm threatening you, you kobold," Mo Ba said nonchalantly. "What can you do to me? You think you're so tough? Put down your airs. Don't think you can do anything just because you're a couple pounds heavier."

"Do you even deserve to be called a member of the World Serpent?" Mo Ba's nonchalant attitude completely enraged the jackal, and even the raven's expression turned sour. 'Believe it or not...'

"Can you be a little nicer? Why are you yelling so loudly?" Mo Ba interrupted the jackal's protest. "If you're not happy, go complain to your boss. Go ahead."

The jackal behind the mask nearly ground her teeth to dust. Her discontent wasn't new; she'd naturally consulted her boss long ago. But no matter how many times she expressed her dissatisfaction, it was to no avail. Everything was done according to his wishes.

Every time, Kevin would just throw that line at her and then wash his hands of the matter. He'd leave her and Raven to watch helplessly as he swaggered around. They couldn't beat him in a fight, they couldn't out-argue him, and he had the boss backing him up, so he could do whatever he wanted, while they could only rage in vain. "Ugh, so infuriating!" "Are you going or not? If you don't go, I will." Mo Ba rolled his eyes, clearly pushing his luck. 'Are you kidding me? Who do you think is cleaning up after you guys who've failed time and time again? Instead of being grateful, you're yelling at me like that? Where's your brain?'

The jackal clenched his fists. If looks could kill, Mo Ba would already be riddled with arrows. "Goodbye, you dog-headed man~" Mo Ba waved to the jackal who stormed off, adding a sarcastic remark, "Don't be so angry you can't sleep tonight."

"Bang!" The only response he received was the heavy slam of the door closing. "You little punk, trying to mess with me?" Mo Ba said disdainfully, crossing his legs. "You think you can outmaneuver me?"

The raven simply watched silently. It felt like it had seen that face somewhere before. Yes, it was that damned bastard, exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Is this what they call father and son? Truly a bloodline of scum and a spirit of utter depravity. I can't even imagine what it would be like if he joined the World Serpent. "Are you secretly talking about me behind my back?" Mo Ba turned his head, his gaze sharp, as if trying to pierce through Raven. Raven immediately looked away, remaining silent, fearing he might get burned. The precedent was right there; Raven didn't think he'd fare much better than Jackal. This World Serpent was doomed sooner or later.

85. Miss Raiden is connecting.

Suddenly, the figure on the bed opened its eyes, sat up abruptly, and began to heave violently, sweat soaking a corner of its clothes. One hand reached for its clothes, the other held it in place, and soft breaths escaped its lips.

Yana still maintained a shaken expression, her face pale from her recent sleep. She seemed to have experienced some kind of traumatic or fright.

The lingering feeling still lingers in my heart, a feeling that has returned, but on that day of renewed sorrow, a cleansing was applied, leaving only the heart with peace.

[What exactly is that?] It's impossible to recall the content of a dream using the methods of Ya Na, but the court couldn't find any information about it.

[Never mind, it was just a dream. Just a dream. Every single detail in Ai Li's middle school seemed to have been wiped clean by the eraser that targeted 2 memories.]

After Yonghu finished speaking, he also put aside his lingering emotions and looked around. Since he was still in the process of carrying out a mission, he started fighting around him again.

Tian was particularly downcast. The room, devoid of light, remained eerily silent and dark. Even so, Qi Ya didn't rush to get up. Instead, she immediately pulled out her drawing tools and carefully concealed them, then got out of bed. After confirming there were no instructions in the light from the screen, she faced the reality of her situation, remembering her identity and the pressure she felt she couldn't escape.

We are constantly observing our own mission objectives, waiting for the right opportunity. This is today's mission strategy.

Lost in thought, Tian Yatong opened the bedroom door and returned to the light.

The root of the gradually familiar evil figure had already stood there on the ground, and Mori continued to deal with the people on the ground with his head, "Good morning, Kiana." The biggest and most obvious thing was that he felt that the words were low and he wanted to make a decision. He thought that the choice of the city was to make a decision. He used the words carefully and deliberately. "You don't seem to have a very good complexion." Mori didn't even bother to say a word.

The egg dream was over, and the group ambassador, after a day of getting along, still hadn't adapted to the concern shown by the young entrepreneur in the district. "It's no big deal."

"Is it because you're afraid of something? Or is it because you lack a sense of security?" Mo Mo kept asking. "I still couldn't help it. I should have been by your side when you were sleeping, right?" 5 playful games. I'm starting to lose sight of the boundaries between seriousness and playfulness. I'm serious.

The sudden movement of lowering the guard made Yingya take two steps back, her hands slightly raised in a defensive gesture.

"B, 0, did you eat breakfast?" Mo Mo sighed, walked past Kiana, and put the bowl he was carrying on the table. "Yes, this is porridge I specially cooked for you."

Kiana licked her lips, even though they were dry.

Kiana 0 also requires a certain amount of energy.

Before that, Mr. E raised his hand to his forehead, and wisps of heat rose from it.

But... brush your teeth and wash your face, don't act like a clueless little kid.

First: brush your teeth and wash your face.

Faced with the kind smile, no one has ever lowered their head, turned away, or yearned for ownership.

That's really meddling.

When Qiyana returned to the table, what...

He pulled out a chair and sat down, ignoring the matter of the food he was trying out and the new season's music. He rummaged through his bowl a few times.

Driven by curiosity and a desire to cut himself, Ye Shi Xiao Shan cautiously scooped up a little bit and put it in his mouth. The next moment, he frowned and stuck out his tongue.

"I said, 'If it's hot, blow on it a few times first.'" Then, seeing Yu Yana's tightly closed eyes and tongue lolling out, he couldn't help but...
