Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

The problem was so serious that even An Yu, a complete novice, could see something was wrong, yet the matter was simply sealed in the archives.

"...I am the specialist in this matter."

Chapter 73: Seventy-one soup bar, all the dishes are ready.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment. An Yu pointed at the other person, opened her mouth and closed it again, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Excuse me, what is your educational background, sister?"

"..."

It was indeed presumptuous of her, Sakura's lips twitched, but since the other party was also concerned about this matter, she thought about it and still answered this presumptuous question.

"Junior high school..."

"I only graduated from junior high school! How could you not see the problem inside!"

"I didn't graduate from junior high school." Sakura's voice unconsciously lowered. Her childhood wasn't exactly pleasant either. Later, with the heavy responsibility of her family on her shoulders, it was naturally impossible for her to continue going to school leisurely.

An Yu: ...

"Are parenting tags really popular among pink-haired girls these days?"

"Come on, sis, dear sis, stop pretending to be aloof, okay? This is a huge problem! The connection between human experimentation and the Honkai is giving me the creeps!"

An Yu wasn't familiar with this era, but in the storylines he knew, the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, was involved in human experimentation. The Herrscher of Thunder, Mei, and the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy, were also subjects of human experimentation!

There's also Seele, whose fate is unknown; she initially fell into the Sea of ​​Quanta because of an experiment, and Bronya, whose legs were also destroyed by an experiment.

Help! Honkai Impact 1 is involved with human experimentation. An Yu feels like she's doing a boss quest, the kind where you have to complete the prerequisites and then face the boss directly.

"...There haven't been many missing persons cases recently."

Sakura didn't know what to say. The boy seemed to have suddenly become brave again, but Sakura didn't understand why someone who had only read the records dared to question her judgment.

I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, little brother, you're a bit ungrateful.

"In this land that cherishes freedom, can you really count the number of missing persons?"

cherry:……

"That should be fine."

Probably. Anyway, Sakura is quite tired of talking about this. The reason she's still searching through the files is that it's too troublesome to find out a lot of information.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things. Let's check our information, sister."

"Male, mild-mannered, good at disguising himself, was expelled from the Fire Moth a month ago because of his unscrupulous human experiments... Is he really not a demotion in name only, but a promotion in reality?"

"No, although I wasn't in charge of this matter at the time, he was indeed expelled."

An Yu nodded. That's fine. If it's a demotion in name only, and the expulsion is just to give the other party a better and freer environment, then today's discussion will be meaningless.

"After returning to his hometown, he was reported again, and a large number of traces of human experimentation were discovered. That same night, it was found that he had committed suicide. This brings us to the second question: why was there no forensic examination at the time? Was it really just a simple matter of concluding that he was dead?"

"Isn't this just a cover-up?"

An Yu believed in the efficiency of the Fire Moth; he had witnessed it firsthand. Whenever Honkai was involved, the Fire Moth was absolutely reliable!

So the fact that this matter had so many oversights made him subconsciously question every single detail.

"...No, because when I accepted this mission I thought it was just a simple assassination mission, so I submitted it after confirming the other party's death."

Please, she's just an assassin who rarely eats salt at home, so little brother who eats a lot of rice, please don't ask about this kind of thing, okay?

An Yu's expression was somewhat complicated, but also somewhat reasonable. After all, you wouldn't expect an assassin to complete a mission and give you all sorts of reports.

"Who assigned you the task?" But personnel transfer is also a problem, although it's a bit of a stretch to say that.

“His former boss.” Sakura pointed to Munemaki.

But believe it or not, it's a connection. Based on An Yu's experience of watching over a thousand episodes of Detective Conan, this boss is definitely not simple.

Who is his boss?

“A somewhat extreme racist.” As she spoke, Ying raised her head, looked over An Yu’s shoulder toward the door. The doorman hadn’t left, so she didn’t continue to speak ill of her boss.

She simply pulled up the other party's boss's information on her phone. This was also her boss, who, although demanding, was very generous.

He's the type who rewards his subordinates more for doing more work.

"...That certainly couldn't be related to him."

Although An Yu had only been at the Moth Chaser for a short time, he had already heard of some of the important figures here, such as Himiko from the army and the evil Dr. Mebius from the laboratory. He knew about these figures relatively early because he was interested in them.

Later, through repeated exposure, I heard the names of other people, such as this boss... It's impossible for an extreme racist to protect such an evil scientist.

"What I'm mainly recording here is the Honkai event, and the later events are more recent. I'm not very clear about the middle part, so how was he later found to be still alive?"

"A report was filed by a concerned resident of Chaoyang District."

An Yu: ...

"This should be easy to catch, right?"

An Yu looked somewhat confused. "Yes, you've already received reports, so why haven't they caught them yet?"

With the efficiency of moths drawn to flames, this is no joke.

"...I am an assassin and I am not used to relying on official forces, so I did not mobilize manpower on a large scale."

Please, she's an assassin. Forget-Me-Not, given her style, her first thought upon discovering the other person isn't dead would definitely be to go back and kill them again, not to immediately call the police and cordon off the area.

"You think you can do it?" Several big question marks gradually appeared above An Yu's head. No, no matter how I think about this, it's all your fault.

Sakura nodded. She really thought she could do it, but the other person was very slippery, and even with her methods, she couldn't catch them.

The eight faces in front of her were becoming less and less intimidating to An Yu, and were even gradually developing into the identity of the eldest sister monster.

...Big sister is weird! He seems to know who the eight-faced woman in front of him is, but we'll talk about that later.

Why didn't you request official support later?

"I don't have permission." At this point, Sakura couldn't pretend to be aloof anymore, after all, she felt the situation was a bit awkward after answering all the questions.

"Report it." Since the Fire Moth is an organization that opposes Honkai, they can directly report anything related to Honkai by phone.

Just like with An Yu before, there were still people online at 11 p.m.

"The poisonous pupae must not contact personnel from other departments on their own, and they must not report to higher authorities without authorization."

However, the poisonous pupa is also quite special among the fire-chasing moths because of their occupational sensitivity, and they are subject to more constraints than those in other positions.

"Who is your boss again?"

Sakura pointed to the phone screen.

An Yu remained silent for a long while.

"Would he ignore his personality?"

"He was very busy and was in a meeting at the time, so he couldn't answer the phone."

"So, this guy ran away again?"

Sakura nodded.

An Yu: ...

"Let's order soup. I have a small appetite, one dish will be enough for me."

Chapter 74: Seventy-two, you're very useful, Brother Hen.

Sakura and An Yu looked at each other, but this time An Yu's expression was somewhat complicated. Her face seemed to show all kinds of emotions, but fear was nowhere to be seen.

"...I was researching the occurrence and evolution of the Honkai event. Although the evil doctor wasn't mentioned later, I found that many of the sudden events were very similar to the descriptions of events related to him, so I decided to investigate."

"Location."

We've finally arrived in Sakura's familiar territory. It's not impossible to rely on her for investigation and analysis, but she's not exactly strong. However, when it comes to killing, she's an expert!

"Northwest Asia, above China, I don't know what that area is called now."

If it were on his original Earth, or in the civilization where Honkai Kiana was, that place would be called the Siberian Snowfield.

"However, I don't recommend you go. The buff stacks up a bit too much. Although I estimate that the two collapses couldn't have occurred so close together, no one can say for sure what the situation is with this civilization."

That's why An Yu noticed this place among so many events. There are many Honkai events, but the location where it appeared is really special.

The only thing that comforted An Yu was that in the game Honkai Impact 3rd, the second and third Honkai Impacts seemed to be more than ten years apart, and the first and second Honkai Impacts seemed to be even further apart.

"Sigh, sister, don't be impulsive. After all, our previous conversation made me a little distrustful of you. I'm really afraid you'll go and deliver it!"

It was only at this moment that Sakura realized that the boy in front of her was quite strong, even comparable to her strength.

At least the other party could hold her back.

"Don't act rashly. I'm afraid you'll do something strange and cause even bigger trouble."

We don't yet know whether the Yae series characters' brains were completely stolen by the fox in Genshin Impact, but this one in front of us only took a few minutes to shatter An Yu's unfathomable feelings towards her.

Do you have any ideas?

Sakura countered, admitting that she might not have done things perfectly before, but she was very confident in her martial arts skills and was going to unleash her full power directly. Hesitation might lead to unforeseen consequences, and being too hesitant might not be a good thing.

"No, but I got it half an hour later."

cherry:?

After a long pause, Ying finally realized that the boy, An Yu, had just said, "Give me half an hour to think of a solution."

But we have the same information, just that little bit of stuff, what can you come up with in half an hour?

However, things didn't turn out as Sakura had imagined, because half an hour later, other people arrived.

Yes, Hen brought Gretchen here.

"Xiao Anyu, come on, I'll take you for a race. Just hold on tight to Greta!"

Before she arrived, her voice preceded her. Amidst Ying's dark expression, An Yu raised her head, indicating that her helper had arrived.

"Look, the experienced old man is here."

Although An Yu had never heard of Hen's name, he was probably an NPC-like character who successfully gained the title of father-in-law through Gretchen.

Based on An Yu's familiarity with the players, that should be the case.

Besides, he's older! He's served in the army for many years, his rank isn't high but it's not low either, he's experienced and easy to talk to. Instead of letting an outsider like me speculate here, wouldn't it be better to just ask Hen directly?

"...Tsk, An Yu, how come there's another pretty girl next to you?"

Why does this kid spend all his time hanging out with women? After a few years, will he still remember his original ambitions?

Come on, you're a young man who's going to join the army and become an ace! I'm really envious of you now!

An Yu was taken aback, but Ying was not surprised. Because of her relatively low social status and less-than-pleasant past, she harbored some resentment towards the rich.

In her opinion, all important people are like that, including rich young masters like An Yu. But thankfully, she managed her expressions very well.

"I think I know why Sister Mei has such a bad reputation."

"It's all because of you people! You believe everything you hear, and you see nothing but trouble! You won't even ask me a single question!"

With a somewhat indignant expression, An Yu stood in front of Hen, reaching out her arm to take Little Gretchen from him, but to no avail.

"I'm going to tell your sister that you were out there organizing documents with a pretty young girl."

He originally intended to hand it directly to An Yu, but Hen suddenly remembered the Honkai erosion on An Yu's body. After observing for a moment, he confirmed that there was a layer of clothing between them, and some bandages were wrapped around her.

"..."

"Hey there, Forget-Me-Not sister, could you come over and slap him?"

cherry:……

Not knowing what to say, she quietly leaned against the shadows, ready to see what An Yu was up to.

A teenager isn't neurotic; he's simply an abstract concept. It's like someone talking to a child, saying something like, "When you grow up, never listen to your father, or you'll never make any friends."

The child couldn't understand, it was just a change of embrace. Looking at the unfamiliar but clean face in front of her, Gretchen wasn't afraid, she just smiled foolishly.

Children love to laugh, and An Yu loves to laugh too, so during the conversation, An Yu gave in for the first time and laughed along with Gretchen.

“Brother Hen, you have a good daughter. If fate is not changed, your greatest presence in the future will be Gretchen’s father.”

It should be, anyway, An Yu had never heard of the name Hen, nor Blanca, but he hadn't heard of Gretchen much either, though he had seen various fan creations, although she lost her initial fragility as she grew up.

Sigh, just like how the cute and adorable Seele later turned into someone with long legs doing the splits, An Yu felt something was off, even though he was only watching short videos.
