Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

Martial artist: "So?"

Kiana: "Help! Help! Help! Group leader, you are the only one who can help me now. Otherwise, Mei, Bublonya, and Teacher Himeko might be in danger. In order to let me master the power of the Herrscher of the Sky, he will definitely target them."

To be honest, it's not just Otto. In this cruel world of Honkai, she has many other enemies to face. In addition to all the Herrschers who are the embodiment of the will of Honkai, there is also Kevin, the ancestor of the Kaslana family, and some outsiders.

Why is Kiana's life so miserable? That's why she must find someone to hold on to. Otherwise, she will have to endure so many beatings from reality before she can barely reach a decent ending. It would be too bad if she has to stay alone on the moon for more than ten years or even decades.

The martial artist said, "Well, since you said so, Kiana, your group leader will dispatch the universal wish-granting machine, the Super Dragon Ball, the fulfiller of all wishes."

Since Kiana has asked for help from him, it is time for Li Xuan to set off.

And it just so happened that he was also going to choose a multiverse to further his studies. Unlike ordinary universes, the principles and laws of the multiverse would be very difficult to analyze if Li Xuan did not go there in person.

Now that he is only one step away from reaching the legendary realm, in order to speed up his cultivation, Li Xuan has to spend some time cultivating in other multiverses.

However, Li Xuan has been hesitating among the five multiverses of Ultraman, Knight, Warcraft, League of Legends, and Honkai Impact 3rd, and has not yet chosen his next destination.

But since Kiana happened to come to ask for help, let's go to the Honkai Universe and play for a while.

………………

"Mei, and Bronya, I'm back. Hey, even Himeko-sensei and Auntie are here? What are you discussing?"

Mei Raiden, Bronya, Teacher Himeko, and Principal Theresa were naturally discussing Kiana, whose mood had inexplicably changed drastically today.

Kiana's mood has been inexplicably low in the past few months, and no matter how they inquired or comforted her, it was of no avail. Although she has recently regained her lively appearance, anyone can see that she is worried. After all, Kiana has never done that kind of perverted lesbian behavior towards Mei, which is definitely wrong.

However, today she suddenly ran out with a happy look on her face, so several people who were closest to Kiana chose to discuss what was going on together.

If this kind of change happened to an ordinary female high school student, Himeko Murata would definitely suspect that she was in love. However, as soon as Himeko proposed this possibility, she rejected it herself. After all, Kiana is an out-and-out perverted yuri.

Before anyone could discuss the situation, Kiana suddenly pushed open the dormitory door and walked in. Her tone no longer contained the hesitation and discouragement of the past few months, but had regained its former energy and liveliness.

Chapter 509: Raiden Mei's Misunderstanding

It can be seen that Kiana is very happy, without the depression and sadness of the past few months, which makes several people very confused.

What on earth had happened? Why had Kiana suddenly changed so much? Then they saw Li Xuan coming in behind Kiana.

"Is this a man?"

"It's not a girl in men's clothing, is it?"

"No, no, no, no matter how you look at it, it's a-male."

"But Kiana is so happy about a man and even brought him to the dormitory. Could he be her boyfriend?"

"Huh? Kiana will have a boyfriend?"

"It's not impossible! After all, this man is really handsome, several levels higher than everyone I've met. It's not impossible for Kiana to be straightened."

Faced with Bronya and Theresa's incredulity about Kiana having a boyfriend, Himeko Murata thought it was normal.

Although because of the Honkai, and because only women gained adaptability to Honkai energy in the last era, the gap between men and women has become huge. With the blessing of Honkai energy, it is difficult for Valkyries to find their ideal partners.

Moreover, the Valkyries have to fight against Honkai, and their lifespan is generally only in their thirties. In such an environment, it is normal for lilies to bloom.

In St. Freya Academy, lilies are very popular, and those with normal sexual orientation are a minority.

Therefore, although Theresa was worried about her eldest niece's orientation, she did not put too much pressure on her given the general environment.

But it was different for Bronya. As good friends who had lived together and gone on missions together for a long time, she knew Kiana very well. Although they often bickered and quarreled, that was just a way for good friends to communicate their feelings.

How can I describe Kiana? She's lively, cheerful, and full of energy. She might seem silly most of the time, but she's got some brains. She's a pretty good friend.

But there is only one thing, that is, even in this St. Freya Academy where lilies are everywhere, she is extremely outstanding. What stands out is that she is a pervert.

And you tell me that such a lesbian has turned over a new leaf now? No! Absolutely impossible!

In this regard, Bronya would rather believe that tomorrow is the end of the world. No, because of the existence of Honkai, this probability is still a little too high. It should be said that she would rather believe that Honkai will cause everything to disappear tomorrow.

Ji Zi thought this was perfectly normal. After all, most Valkyries engaged in lesbianism only because they had not met a man who met their requirements, so they chose to be intimate with their companions as a second best option. If they had a choice, most of them would still choose the opposite sex.

After all, natural lilies are still a minority, and with Li Xuan's face, even if it is a natural lily, it can undoubtedly be straightened easily.

As for Mei, who was silent throughout the whole audience, she was completely dumbfounded. As a straight woman, she was almost turned gay by Kiana. After all, during the third collapse, Kiana undoubtedly came to the rescue and left a deep impression on her. Then she kept pestering her and recently placed her aside. There is no doubt that Mei is very concerned about Kiana at the moment, and they are more than friends but less than lovers.

But the scene before her left her dumbfounded, and the slightest hint of lewdness that had just emerged was immediately extinguished. "If Kiana knew, she would definitely cry. I just wanted to find a big guy to help me."

However, the carefree Kiana obviously didn't notice it.

"Hey, you guys! I'm back, and it's fine if you don't welcome me, but what are you sneaking around like that? Are you saying bad things about me?"

Kiana looked at them hesitantly. What was going on? Their expressions seemed strange. Bronya and Auntie were filled with surprise, their eyes wide. Himeko-sensei's expression was also strange, a teasing one. Mei's eyes were the most complex. What emotions were contained in them? Disbelief? Incredible? Joy? Sorrow? Relief? A mixture of all these made Kiana feel very uncomfortable.

"Why don't you guys talk? Why are you staring at me?"

"Hey, Kiana, who's that boy behind you?"

Seeing that Mei Raiden has lost her ability to speak, Bronya, as their best friend, feels that she should stand up. No matter what the truth is, Mei Raiden should face it.

However, no matter how she looked at it, Bronya felt that Mei Raiden's hair seemed to have turned a little green. After all, Kiana was so close to a man, and with an appearance of immense trust. This was something she had never seen in either Mei Raiden or Aunt Theresa. It was already obvious what the truth was.

“Eh? H-hmm? How should I put this? Um, well, I’m sorry for keeping it a secret from you all for so long…”

It was obvious that facing Bronya's question, Kiana's brain, which had degenerated into a paramecium, was overloaded. She was just happy and directly brought Li Xuan back to the dormitory. Now Kiana was in trouble.

However, Kiana's appearance is a completely different picture in the eyes of others. Kiana looks like a shy girl who is difficult to introduce to friends and relatives.

Oh my god, is Kiana really in love? Theresa couldn't understand it. Had her little cabbage finally learned to play the pig? Should she be happy that Kiana's sexual orientation had returned to normal? Or what? Honestly, this was the first time she, as an elder, had to deal with such a situation. It was such a headache! Where was Siegfried, the father? Where the hell was he? Save him!

"Kiana, who is this boy? Is he your boyfriend?"

Filled with surprise, disbelief and other emotions, Mei Raiden asked this question with some trepidation. No matter what, she wanted to know the truth of the matter.

"What the hell is going on? He's - my boyfriend? That's obviously not the case, Mei, why do you think that?"

Kiana was full of questions. She didn't understand why Mei Raiden asked such a question. Did she and the group leader look like a couple standing together?

Then why are you standing so close to him, and looking so happy and trusting? Mei Raiden really wants to ask this, but can only choose to remain silent. After all, she is just a good friend and has no right to ask such a question.

Chapter 510: Kiana's Anxiety and Fear

"Who is he then? What is his relationship with you?"

Seeing that Mei Raiden was a little embarrassed, Bronya stood up and wanted to find out Li Xuan's specific identity.

"Li Xuan and I met through a chat group a few months ago. He is the group owner of that chat group."

Chat group? Group owner? A few months ago?

Bronya and the others quickly grasped the key to Kiana's words. A few months ago!? This meant that Kiana's abnormal behavior over the past few months must be related to this Li Xuan.

But I didn’t expect that Kiana, who has always been carefree, would actually use chat groups to make friends. Is this online love?

Bronya, Mei Raiden, and Theresa couldn't help but think that the relationship between Kiana and Li Xuan was a love affair. After all, apart from this reason, how could Kiana be so distracted and worried because of a man?

However, the only reliable one among the four, Wuliangta Jizi, had more thoughts. Although Li Xuan and Kiana seemed to have a close relationship, it was hard to say whether Li Xuan was trustworthy if it was an online relationship. After all, he was someone who suddenly appeared, and there was another problem.

"Kiana, what I want to know is how did this man get in? Did you lead him in? Didn't the security guard stop him?"

She'd been so shocked by the news of Kiana having a boyfriend that she'd forgotten one thing: St. Freya's Academy specializes in training Valkyries. In other words, it's an all-girls school, and aside from a few teachers and staff, everyone else is female. Therefore, male admission is strictly screened, and security wouldn't let anyone in without the approval of her superior, the dignified Principal Theresa.

“This… this…”

Kiana became more and more aware of her mistakes. She was so happy that Li Xuan came to help her that she didn't consider at all what kind of trouble it would cause if she brought a man into St. Freya Academy, and even to her own dormitory.

"Yeah, Kiana, I haven't received any application from outsiders to come in. What's going on?"

At this time, Theresa, who was as majestic as a young lady, also began to become serious. After Ji Zi's reminder, she also discovered the key problem: how did Li Xuan enter St. Freya Academy?

After all, this is the Far East branch that trains Valkyries for the Mission, so the security force is still very strong. Both the gate and the wall are under very strict surveillance, and it is impossible for outsiders to come in so easily.

Could it be that Kiana was deceived? Thinking of this possibility, Theresa became more serious. As Cecilia's daughter, she must protect Kiana.

Looking at the already nervous people and the bewildered Kiana beside him, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh. "You're just as good as me!" The nickname "Paramecium" really doesn't describe the wrong person. He felt like if Kiana couldn't say anything more, he would be suspected of having bad intentions.

"You, you! Has your brain really been eaten by zombies? It's completely empty inside? Shouldn't you have explained the situation to them before inviting me here? Am I telling you to keep it a secret? Or are you acting without thinking?"

Faced with Li Xuan's speechless expression, Kiana could only smile foolishly. She also knew that she was not reliable in doing this matter. She asked people to help, but ended up not doing any preliminary preparations. She even asked Li Xuan to solve the trouble she caused.

"Forget it, there's really nothing I can do about you. After all, you're a member of my group."

Watching the interaction between Li Xuan and Kiana, especially Li Xuan's doting eyes, Wuliangta Jizi and Theresa couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that they guessed wrong? Li Xuan was not a bad guy, but how did he get in? What was going on here?

"Kiana! What the hell is going on?"

Facing the simultaneous shouts from Theresa and Himeko Murata, Kiana couldn't help but shrink her neck. Although she now knew that she was not the real Kiana, but a clone created to revive the Herrscher of the Void, her interactions with her aunt and Teacher Himeko in the past two years were not fake. Facing their anger, Kiana was a little scared.

It wasn't because of her recklessness today, but she was afraid of how they would treat her after knowing the truth. Although they treated Kiana well in the future, Kiana was still very scared. After all, everything about her was fake, whether it was her name, her father, or her identity. They were all inherited from the real Kiana, except for her interactions with Mei, Bronya, Theresa, and Himeko-sensei...

Although the possibility was small, she simply could not bear the possibility that they would deny her. In this situation, Kiana's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to escape.

Alas! Li Xuan also saw Kiana's uneasiness and hesitation, understood her inner thoughts, and knew that even if Kiana had known the truth for several months, it was still too early for her to know about this.

Kiana is not yet the Sky Ranger who has gone through hardships and chosen to fight for all the good things in the world. Now she is just a lively, energetic and cheerful girl. This cruel reality is too early for her.

However, Li Xuan understood that Kiana could escape temporarily, but not forever. This was something she had to face.

Li Xuan took a step forward, held Kiana's slightly trembling hand, and pulled her into the house.

"Kiana, you have to trust the bonds you've formed with Bronya, Mei Raiden, Theresa, and Himeko Murata over the past few years. Believe that they won't consider such trivial matters."

"Ok!"

Kiana said it, but the fear in her heart could not be completely reduced. However, Li Xuan's palm gave her a strong sense of security, which gave her the courage to face it.

Mei Raiden watched the two of them walk into the dormitory hand in hand, and she was definitely very concerned. However, seeing the hesitation and uneasiness that had never appeared in Kiana's eyes, she didn't say much.

Apparently, the reason for Kiana's unusual behavior over the past few months is finally about to be revealed, and it sounds like it's related to her, Bronya, Theresa, and Teacher Himeko. So, let's first listen to what Li Xuan and Kiana have to say!

Bronya, Theresa, and Himeko Murimita also thought of this. They did not continue to ask Li Xuan how he entered St. Freya Academy, but quietly waited for Li Xuan and Kiana's explanation.

Chapter 511 Xilin's Past

"How should I put it? The origin of this matter can be traced back to the Second Great Collapse more than ten years ago. That is the root cause of all the problems with Kiana."

"More than ten years ago?"

"root cause?"

"The Second Great Collapse?"

Neither Bronya, Mei Raiden, nor Himeko Murata knew much about the Second Great Honkai Impact more than ten years ago. After all, the younger ones among them were just born not long ago, and even the oldest one, Himeko Murata, was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time.

There was only one person, Theresa, who had a deep memory of the Second Collapse. In that terrible disaster, she lost her sister and mother, Cecilia, although she was not much younger than Cecilia in terms of age.

"Yes, the Second Great Collapse is the root of all the suffering that Kiana has endured. However, the cause of the Second Great Collapse must be traced back to destiny."

Li Xuan was also helpless. Since Kiana didn't tell everything to her companions, he was the only one who could fill in the gap.

"That was at the beginning of the century. With the continuous development of human technology, the power of Honkai also increased. Therefore, in order to deal with the increasingly powerful Honkai crisis, Destiny launched a plan, the Artificial Stigma Project."

"Artificial Stigma Project? That's not it!?"

Hearing this familiar term, Wuliangta Jizi couldn't help but scream.

"Yes, that is the origin of the artificial stigmata that most of your Valkyries now have."

"However, you all know the terrifying power of artificial stigmata. Even with the relatively mature artificial stigmata technology you use today, the lifespan of most Valkyries will be greatly shortened under the erosion of Honkai energy. You can imagine how terrifying the initial artificial stigmata will be."

"That's basically artificial stigmata technology created by accumulating human lives. But do you know who conducted the initial human experiments?"

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Wuliangta Jizi already had a bad premonition. As an adult, she naturally knew the darkness of the world, so she was naturally not so naive. There must be a very terrible darkness hidden behind the research and development of this artificial stigma.

"The Babylonian Laboratory, built in Siberia by the Mandate of Heaven, began researching and developing artificial stigmata under the orders of Archbishop Otto. As you all know, in this world, most women are far more adaptable to Honkai energy than men. Therefore, to maximize research and development efficiency, the Babylonian Laboratory used neither volunteers nor death row prisoners. Instead, they adopted a large number of young girls from the Siberian plains, disguised as an orphanage, and brought them back to the laboratory."

"Orphanage? Young girl? Could it be?"

Bronya's expressionless face couldn't help but reveal deep disgust. She, Hill and other friends originally lived in the Siberian plains, which was their hometown. According to Li Xuan, if it weren't for the second great collapse, they might have suffered. Therefore, she could empathize more than others.

"How can this be possible? This is such an inhumane practice?"

Although Mei Raiden said that she had a deep understanding of the darkness of the world after the Third Great Collapse, the distortion of human nature still shocked her.

"That's perfectly normal, isn't it? Sacrificing a few for the sake of the majority is a philosophy many people embrace. Therefore, with the excuse of saving the world, the people at Babylon Labs unscrupulously revealed their worst instincts. They adopted batch after batch of orphans through various means, becoming guinea pigs for their experiments. Often, within a few months, they would die in agony from the erosion of the Honkai."

"This fruit, born purely from the flower of human evil, is Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, who caused the Second Great Collapse. Those hypocritical researchers took Sirin away in the name of 'hope,' but instead thrust her into hell, a fate worse than death. She and her friends ultimately became victims of the Tower of Babylon. With nothing left, Sirin's only hope is revenge, revenge on humanity, using the power bestowed by God."

"Sirin! Alas!"

Theresa could only sigh as to Sirin. She and Cecilia had tried to save her, but love was too pale and powerless in the face of such deep-seated hatred. In the end, they could only turn their swords against Sirin. Life is full of disappointments, and this is especially true in a cruel world like Honkai.
