Chapter 428 Kiana: Watch Me Speedrun Chapter 1
Chapter 428 Kiana: Watch Me Speedrun Chapter 1
At night, on the streets of Shanghai, a red-haired man carrying shopping bags slowly walked towards an apartment building.
He is the captain, and the reason why he appeared in Shanghai dates back to a few months ago.
Several months ago, they were brought to this world by Altair, who suddenly appeared during their journey.
After investigation, the captain and Kiana discovered that this world was the world they lived in before, the world that He called the Creator World, and the timeline was before they traveled through time.
After resolving the incident caused by Altair in Japan, they did not choose to return with Meteora, but instead traveled to Shanghai aboard the Hyperion.
Because of the previous incident, miHoYo, located in Shanghai, also learned that characters from its Honkai Impact IP had appeared in Japan, and that these characters claimed to be from a very late part of the Honkai Impact 3 storyline.
How far back in time is it? Even crossing the End was over a decade ago. In other words, the timeline from Post-Honkai Odyssey is even further back. Just this fact made Roast Chicken, who came to Japan at the time, smile bitterly. Keep in mind that it was only version 3.9 when Post-Honkai Odyssey was released, and only one version had passed since then.
In terms of popularity, the main storyline should definitely be more well-known, so why would the other party choose to go to such a later timeline to bring people over and have a fully grown protagonist help her destroy the world?
And that was indeed the case. When Bronya and the others learned that the young man wearing glasses in front of them was one of the people who wrote their story, they were first surprised, and then they chatted with the roast chicken as if they were talking to a familiar stranger.
After chatting with everyone, Shaoji asked them if they hated her, since it was because of her and the other screenwriters that they had gone through so many hardships.
When asked this question, everyone smiled and said no. It was precisely because of the hardships they had overcome that they had become who they are today. Most importantly, without their efforts, their stories would not exist in this world.
Although the current story timeline is far from theirs, and the original story didn't include a captain, meaning their world isn't the main world of Honkai Impact 3rd. Of course, if there's any regret, it's probably that Himeko Murata could see them in person.
Roast Chicken silently remembered this sentence, and in the final battle, he used the power of recognition he discovered in the battle with Altair to successfully make Himeko Murata, who had fallen into the imaginary space, accidentally fall into another world and meet everyone as an IF route.
Because they were on the battlefield, the group didn't have much time to catch up with Himeko Murata.
Moreover, there is no need for much communication between people; a single glance is enough to convey everything.
After the final battle, before Himeko Murata completely disappeared, Kiana and Himeko walked together on the street. They didn't exchange many words, because Kiana had already said what she wanted to say in the consciousness space created by the Plague Gem.
Himeko Murata was pleased with everyone's growth, and there was no need to say anything more.
The two walked quietly down the street. Kiana then began to recount their story since the battle of Destiny. Himeko listened quietly until dawn. Himeko disappeared in the light of dawn and returned to the IF scenario created for her by the roast chicken.
After learning that Kiana and the others did not plan to return directly to their own world, Roast Chicken suggested that they come to Shanghai to meet the members of miHoYo.
Everyone agreed, and that day, Roast Chicken personally went inside the Hyperion and boarded the Hyperion to return to Mihoyo headquarters.
Upon entering miHoYo, you are greeted by the non-natural countermeasures department under the Chinese government, since this world is not lacking in non-natural phenomena.
The head of the non-natural countermeasures department is Kiana's mother from her previous life, namely the contemporary Kazehime.
Kiana stared blankly at the familiar face before her, and Fuuri noticed Kiana's unusual expression as well.
She paused for a moment when she looked at Kiana, then greeted everyone naturally.
Its content is simply to tell everyone that although the world has a dark side, please be careful not to use supernatural powers indiscriminately.
Most importantly, since everyone accidentally traveled back in time from the game, Furiki hopes that everyone will try not to appear in front of people in this world casually, and even if they do appear, they should try to act like a cosplayer.
After all, the recent uproar in Japan about anime characters traveling back in time ultimately resulted in the Japanese government declaring that all the characters had returned to their original worlds and that none of them remained in the real world.
This led to the reversal of the verdict, so Feng Lixi hoped that everyone would cooperate with the authorities and try to avoid appearing in front of people in this world. If they agreed, the Chinese government would naturally fully support all their actions, provided they did not do anything illegal, unethical, or immoral.
The captain and Kiana were the first to agree, and seeing how quickly they did, the others followed suit.
So everyone temporarily moved into the apartment arranged by the government, and apart from some restrictions on movement, everything else was fine.
The group usually operates online as virtual streamers, while the captain is responsible for purchasing their daily necessities.
Taking this opportunity, everyone experienced their past experiences as players. Because of the voices of the group, and because the virtual avatars were somewhat similar to their own personalities, the news that a group of virtual streamers with appearances and voices very similar to the characters from Honkai Impact 3rd were streaming miHoYo's games on Uncle Station quickly spread.
Over the past few months, the group's popularity has soared. At the same time, some observant netizens discovered that the artist mom or male mom of this team is actually the original artist of Honkai Impact 3, Aji, which made their popularity even more popular.
Therefore, many people regard them as miHoYo's official virtual anchor team, a fact that does not exist in Kiana and the Captain's past life memories.
In other words, the timeline has changed, which means that the tragedy of the future might actually be averted.
Yes, the reason Kiana and the others stayed was because Kiana and the captain intended to change the impending tragedy.
When Fuuri noticed Kiana's unusual behavior, she immediately realized that Kiana was her daughter, or rather, her future daughter.
Although it's unknown why her daughter would travel to this world called Honkai Impact 3rd in the future, the fact that such a future could occur means that some major disaster must have happened.
After taking Kiana aside and confessing to her, Kazeki stopped Kiana from telling her about the future.
Because heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, even if someone from the future travels back in time, they cannot casually tell people from the past about the future. In particular, since Kaorishi has seen that Kiana intends to change the past, the future cannot be revealed casually.
After all, they are agents of the will of Heaven, and any words they utter concerning the direction of the world could very well set the world in motion.
Regardless of whether Kiana can anchor the world, the fact that Fuurishi has fully awakened and become an agent is enough to anchor a major event concerning the world.
Therefore, Furyi absolutely could not obtain any information about the future from Kiana, and Kiana immediately realized this and changed her question to ask.
"Mom, can you... help me?"
"Of course, my child. No matter who you become or where you are, whether it's Mom or Dad, we will always be there to support you."
Upon hearing this, Kiana felt completely relieved, and then she recalled her previous failure to revive Cecilia in the previous world.
At that time, Mistrien, who possessed Cecilia's memories, told Kiana that she was missing one of the most important things, and now that she thinks about it, perhaps that thing was the fragment of Furyi's soul.
Although the group known as miHoYo's official virtual anchors did not exist in the present world in their previous life, it does not mean that they did not come to this world because of Altair and meet with Furyi.
It wouldn't be difficult for Furyi to separate a part of the soul fragment, so does that mean Siegfried might also have a part of his father's soul fragment?
Kiana felt a sudden itch in her heart at this thought, wanting to ask but not daring to, and could only ask indirectly what would happen to a person after losing a part of their soul fragment.
The answer they received was that ordinary people would experience side effects such as short-term memory loss and blank stares for the rest of their lives, while those of their agents would not be affected. Of course, ordinary people could recover if they had the help of their agents to treat them.
After answering, Furihi didn't ask Kiana why she asked that question, because she already had a guess in her mind when Kiana asked the question.
Kiana had a guess after hearing this answer, and later confirmed it with Siegfried in the group chat.
Seeing the apologies Siegfried sent, Kiana wasn't angry; instead, she felt a warmth in her heart. After all, this was a bond that belonged only to their family.
"Little Feng Lixi, if you could, would you prefer an older sister or a younger sister?"
The words that Kazeki asked Kiana about her past life on a summer day in 2020 still echo in Kiana's mind. Kiana remembers wishing she had an older sister so that she wouldn't be so lonely when she was little.
Just then, the sound of Seele sobbing and Black Seele comforting her came from the next room.
Kiana opened Seele's live stream and found that Seele had pushed the storyline of the event [The Day the Stars Disappeared] to its final stage. Accompanied by Mr. Iron Fist (I think that's what the stargazer called Tesla Zero) narrating and the background music of the variation of the Day the Stars Disappeared, the storyline reached its explosive final stage.
To be honest, Kiana in her past life also had tears in her eyes when she saw this part of the story, and even today, when she sees this part of the story again, her water element is still abundant.
However, seeing Seele's reaction in the live stream, Kiana couldn't help but smile. Joking aside, anti-tank armor is one thing, but the necessary support is another—that's Kiana's pride as a ship's support!
As the ship-follower culture began to slowly emerge at this time, a large number of live stream clips appeared on the site shortly after Seele finished her live stream for the day.
Kiana clicked on each one to watch and then gave it a triple like, completely ignoring the fact that she had been the one who was attacked before, although the other ship's accomplices weren't quite satisfied since they had developed resistance.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that among this group, apart from Seele who is more empathetic and thus more likely to score points, the others don't score many points.
Not to mention that the main storyline itself is their story, and what they personally experienced can now be viewed more as a sigh than a point of reference from an outsider's perspective.
After replenishing her ship's energy, Kiana got up to start her live stream. The content she planned to stream was not Honkai Impact 3 or Genshin Impact, but a collaboration with Bronya and Mei.
As for the collaboration content, it's the classic Minecraft modpack survival. This time, Bronya decided to play with high-difficulty generation, so the modpack is filled with various monster-enhancing mods to strengthen monsters, or simply generate all kinds of bizarre monsters directly - such as the famous Parasite mod.
On the player's side, there were only some simple industrial modules. No modules that affect the balance, such as equivalent exchange, were added. This caused a lot of trouble for everyone in the early development stage. Fortunately, thanks to Bronya and Kiana's high-level game skills, they successfully acquired a lot of resources. Mei was responsible for using these acquired resources to build an aerial fortress.
Of course, Bronya was still in charge of the design and planning of the aerial fortress. Their goal for this survival mission was to successfully destroy the parasite core of the area while defeating the Ender Dragon.
Because this modpack is so difficult to use, the original plan to open the server to fans in the fan group had to be cancelled, since not everyone has the skills of Bronya and Kiana.
Moreover, even with Kiana and Bronya on the team, the first day's stream still failed to achieve the set goal, indicating that this series will likely be a long-term stream.
After finishing her live stream for the day, Kiana stretched and walked into the living room, where she saw Otto sitting on the sofa.
Upon seeing Kiana emerge from the room, Otto smiled and stood up to approach her.
Kiana frowned slightly and asked, "Otto, why aren't you staying in the lab? What are you doing here?"
"Miss Kiana, what else could I be here for besides telling you that the plan has been finalized?"
