Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

The man who cuts off the chapter has to swallow a thousand needles!

Su Xin began to analyze Karen's monologue. To be honest, if it weren't for Karen's subsequent conversation with Otto, Su Xin really wouldn't believe that Karen could say anything.

After all, Su Xin didn't believe Karen could understand density, having never watched Karen study it, and it was impossible for Karen to do it alone for a year.

It features extremely provocative and infectious lines, along with occasional humorous and witty remarks, reminiscent of Otto's style.

It sounded more like lines from a script than a normal conversation.

Bukalen often went to see Shakespearean plays and could even mutter lines from the script to herself when no one was around.

After all, in the original story, Kallen said such shameful things.

Compared to Su Xin, talking to herself now seems perfectly normal.

As for the so-called witch hunt, Su Xin remembers that it did start in medieval Europe. It was precisely because of the brutality and feudal darkness that people woke up earlier, and there was resistance where there was oppression.

Just kidding—

With the mentality of "If I can't live, then nobody can live," Europe is ushering in bottom-up reforms.

Ah, what a hassle! Karen is protecting an ordinary girl who's been labeled a witch, and she's constantly being suspected...

If you can endure being engulfed in flames without crying out, it proves your innocence.

But I'm already burned to death, what's the point of preserving my innocence? Compensation for my innocence? The nobles certainly won't trade one life for another.

Nicholas forces Karen to choose sides: either join them in their evil deeds or die for so-called justice and truth.

Karen is foolish; why insist on choosing between two options? If she had the ability, wouldn't it be better to create a third option—directly overthrow Destiny?

Then, in conjunction with Otto, he played...

"The Mandate of Heaven is dead, Carmen shall rise, the year of Jiazi brings great fortune to the world!" Isn't this slogan good for brainwashing the people?

Offer a few small favors to win over the people.

If all else fails, secretly create multiple nested dolls, establishing multiple organizations or groups that can act as admonitors in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Yesterday's hero, adored by the masses, may face humiliation today if he falls. The higher his reputation, the stronger the reaction. In such situations, the masses may see the fallen hero as one of their own, seeking revenge for having bowed and scraped before an authority that no longer exists.

This cycle repeats itself, history goes through a cycle, time moves forward, but the process remains the same, unchanged throughout the ages.

At night, the curtains are adorned with twinkling stars, and though it is a dungeon, one can still see the boundless starry sky through the windows.

Karen looked up, her eyes filled with unease, but even more so with guilt.

She made a move, not waiting for Su Xin to come out. If Su Xin didn't come out by the time they went to the execution ground tomorrow, what would happen?

Would Otto be willing to join forces with him to fight against the Herrscher of Corruption?

If I had chosen to leave alone to heal my wounds that day, I might not have let the erosion go, much less let that kind girl be possessed by the erosion.

If only I were a little stronger, a little more decisive

But it's always just a little bit short!

Karen always felt that fate was pushing her, and at crucial moments she would do things against her will.

For example, during the Eastern Expedition, after learning of Su Xin's heavy mission, I wanted to have a good talk with him, but for some reason, my mind was filled with anger.

After being defeated by the Golden-Eyed Crimson Kite and falling to the Far East, she initially relied on her physical abilities to recover quickly and tried to avoid crowds. However, she ended up seeking help from a doctor on the street and was eventually harmed by Yae Sakura's kind offer of assistance.

"Living alone is really tiring, extremely tiring."

"Xin, are you in there?"

"I"

"I can't express my feelings only when I stand before you, no, will there be a day when I do?"

Chapter 80 The World's Number One Bad Kid: Kallen

Karen clung to that faint hope in her prison cell; in truth, there was an element of gambling in her actions.

If Su Xin cannot be brought back in one go, we may lose Otto's trust.

After all, the premise of their plan was that Su Xin was still alive, whether inside her body or elsewhere.

From the conversation, it was learned that Otto did not know Su Xin's true identity, and Su Xin may not have told him for some unknown reasons.

Kallen went along with it, temporarily pretending to be Su Xin's Kaslana Stigmata Will.

Until the very end, no one knows the outcome.

One consideration is that Su Xin is not inside the body, and as long as she hears news of the execution in Europe, she will rush to the rescue.

Karen firmly believes that no matter how angry or how many complaints the other person has, when they truly need him, he will not hesitate to reach out without holding a grudge.

Pull them out of the quagmire.

Su Xin has always been reliable, providing a sense of security that is both indescribable and unparalleled to those who depend on her.

"Isn't that equally despicable of me?"

Karen whispered something, a lonely expression on her face, her demeanor growing increasingly serene.

After that, there was a very long period of silence.

Being pampered feels like sitting by a campfire—warm and comforting.

But one cannot live under the protection of others forever, and this is especially true for Kaslana. Rather than being a person warming themselves by a fire, Kallen prefers to be the flame that can also warm others.

After that, Karen stopped talking and just leaned against the wall forlornly, looking like a homeless stray cat, pitiful and helpless.

It makes you want to adopt and care for them.

Su Xin watched quietly from the side, time slipping through the dark, blurry gaps.

The air grew increasingly chilly, seeping into one's bones and causing one to instinctively hug oneself and shiver slightly.

Time seemed to stand still; in the dimly lit prison, not a single sound was heard.

Su Xin sat next to Karen, but time was passing, and he could not interfere. All Su Xin could do was witness it.

Half a day later, Su Xin left Karen's memories from the day before, but there was no further information to investigate.

Karen seemed resigned to her fate, perhaps out of guilt towards me, or perhaps out of disappointment with the people, wanting to make a final struggle with her life, to resist the tyranny, arrogance, corruption, and dark ideologies of the Middle Ages.

But can I?

No, I don't seem to need that. As long as I show up, like Karen, as long as my presence can solve the problem.

However, it is impossible to eradicate this phenomenon. The inevitable trend of history will not be changed by human will. Su Xin, as a pioneer who has been through the ages, is very clear about this.

At most, he could turn the Mandate of Heaven upside down, causing Nicholas to fall from his high position as Bishop of the Mandate of Heaven and replacing him with a new group of obedient nobles.

Even those who are not nobles are still nobles. They only temporarily compromise out of fear of power. After a hundred years, when they pass away, the nobles' descendants inherit their status, and the same thing happens again.

The new aristocracy will continue to exploit the lower classes, repeating the mistakes of a century ago.

Sigh, that's why I hate making choices so much.

Su Xin felt inexplicably lost.

Because no matter which option you choose, no matter what you do, even if you choose the option that is generally considered the most rational and correct at the moment, when new results come in the future, new results will inevitably bring new regrets.

There is never a perfect choice, just as a person is born into this world with imperfections everywhere.

Su Xin quickly calmed down; 50,000 years of experience had taught her how to control her emotions quickly.

Kevin and Hua must be the same; no matter how difficult or sad they were a second ago, they can escape from that boundless emotion in an instant.

"Heh heh, Karen Kaslana"

A fat, old man with big ears appeared outside the prison, looking down at Karen, who had been imprisoned for a long time.

Today is execution day, and also Karen's "final deadline."

“Bishop Nicholas.” Out of courtesy, Karen pronounced the title respectfully, without offering the sincere and humble salute that other nobles would have shown to Nicholas, because she did not need to.

Nicholas stared coldly at Karen, his eyelids covered with wrinkles and white spots, his forehead layered as if his skin was being squeezed together.

With a dark expression and a gloomy look on his face, Nicholas said contemptuously, "Today is the last day. Today, I'm afraid you will no longer be able to fulfill the duties of the Kaslana family, no longer be able to protect the people. You would rather die than help that girl clear her name? So many people are waiting for you to protect them. How will you repay your father, Francis?"

Nicholas tried to persuade Karen to compromise.

As long as Karen stops protecting the girl judged to be a witch and sides with the nobles, he can still spare Karen from the death penalty.

Because they set the laws and rules, it's like playing rock-paper-scissors, where one side always goes last, and getting the answer is always easy for them.

It seemed that a day of hunger had made Karen's voice very weak: "If I were to preserve my life, I'm afraid more children would be manipulated by you, and more families would be torn apart. Such a compromise only disgusts me."

“You’re too naive and too young to understand what it means to have a broad perspective,” Nicholas said arrogantly.

"A sense of the bigger picture? I cannot accept such a compromise. If I cannot even stop the cries that are right next to me, how can I reach out to the distant gods for help? Everyone in the Kaslana family would understand me, and if it were my father, he would make the same choice. We will never become pawns for you nobles to persecute commoners, never!"

Karen screamed with all her might, letting out her last bit of strength.

Even though Nicholas Station overlooks Karen, it always feels like we're looking up at her.

The other person's eyes were dazzling, possessing a clean gaze that almost no nobleman, even after reaching adulthood, lacked.

But so what? Those who benefit from the status quo never care about justice and fairness, nor about right or wrong; they will only oppress others by any means necessary to protect their interests.

"I thought that being imprisoned for so many days would make you wiser, but I didn't expect you to be so foolish, Karen Kaslana! You are disappointing!"

“Heh, heh heh, it’s an honor to disappoint Bishop Nicholas,” Karen retorted sarcastically.

The meaning is simple: If you're unhappy, I'm happy.

I learned these kinds of jokes from Su Xin, but I didn't learn anything bad; it was all Su Xin who taught me.

That guy messes around with his body every night, taking showers, going out to chat with young girls, touching them inappropriately while telling jokes.

At first, I didn't understand the meaning of those strange words Su Xin was saying, but after considering the context, I understood.

Jade legs stretched across the ditch, water flowing freely; lying down, skillfully caressing the beauty's peak, the ghostly poem could not be recited. According to the laws of the land, how could a virgin utter such words!

Fortunately, Su Xin didn't drive recklessly in front of Otto, but only occasionally gave him pointers on philosophical topics that she didn't understand.

I can understand each word individually, but I can't understand any of them when they are put together into a sentence.

Su Xin's knowledge even surpasses Otto's, and she can always provide timely guidance when Otto needs help.

Not long after, if we persevere for another half day, we will get the final answer.

Even if the three of us can't go back to the past, and can no longer see each other without any reservations, I will still find you.

Karen secretly vowed to herself that she would endure some hardship in the next few days to fulfill this vow.

“Francis has raised a fine daughter!” Nicholas roared angrily at Karen.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"If you die, your Kaslana family is destined to fall to the same level as it was three years ago when Francis died!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"You, you! You'd better watch yourself. I'd like to see if you can still laugh when you're being burned alive!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Karen's expression grew increasingly frivolous, gradually becoming as disdainful as Su Xin's. She was clearly affirming, yet it sounded like she was completely denying, her complete denial tinged with sarcasm.

This was the first time Nicholas had heard such sharp words. Even though Karen hadn't refuted him or uttered any angry words, it still made him feel annoyed and furious!

Ghost language!

"Hmph!" Nicholas could only snort coldly, turn around and leave. Outside, he suddenly imitated Karen, repeating several times: "Yes, yes, yes?"

"Yes, yes, yes?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"interesting"

Seeing Nicholas's discomfiture in prison instantly cheered Karen up.

Su Xin: "As long as I have no morals, I won't be morally blackmailed, as long as I have nothing, no grand principle can make me submit."

"Is it okay for a double negative to express an affirmation, and for a double affirmation to express a negative?"

Karen couldn't help but smile innocently. She hadn't smiled in a long time. Since Su Xin left, she had been on edge, under pressure to achieve her ideals.

Now that she has learned of Su Xin's survival, Karen realizes that whether or not her ideals are realized is not so important.

She has experienced loss, so she knows how to cherish things even more.
