Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Page 163

She seemed to be deep in thought, as if she had thought of something.

Theresa: "..."

She had witnessed this scene before; she was the first S-rank Valkyrie to come into contact with Sirin in Siberia, and she had heard Sirin tell these stories.

But isn't Kiana, the girl formerly codenamed K423, a clone of Kiana? How come she has Sirin's memories?

Fu Hua: "..."

She knew why, but she couldn't say it.

Mei: "These are Kiana's memories? But..."

More and more people gathered around; they were all drawn by the oppressive aura Kiana had just unleashed.

There are immortals and rulers.

Many members know about Kiana, but no one has told her in the past two days. Even a child knows what's important; she'll just enjoy each day as it comes.

In the game, after the War of Destiny, that silly girl never smiled again; she matured in a way that was heartbreaking.

Fragmented memories resurfaced, especially the last words of her mother—"~lchliebedich, Sirin."

Cecilia: "Cirin?"

She looked at Theresa with a puzzled expression. What was going on?

She already knew that the girl in front of her was the product of Bishop Otto's experiments, a continuation of Sirin.

But why is she called Kiana?

Shouldn't Kiana be Kiana? This Kiana deserves to be her own biological daughter, not the child in her arms now.

Of course, the one in his arms was also his daughter, the daughter he truly acknowledged in that dream, Sirin.

But why is Sirin called Kiana?

What happened to the original Kiana? Was she renamed Sirin? Did the two daughters change their names?

"Theresa? What's going on?"

Bronya had the Heavy Bunny deliver Theresa's mouth, and Theresa preferred that she not let go.

“Cecilia…Siegfried! It was all Siegfried’s doing! He’s the one who named this child Kiana!”

(Good Promise)

Siegfried did it all, that's right, that's exactly it!

After Theresa finished speaking, she realized she was right, and she became increasingly confident in her position.

But her confidence didn't last long, because it was time to explain why she named the child Kiana.

Yes, it's because... I went back.

"Why?" Cecilia felt inexplicably panicked.

"because……"

Zhong Gui: "Madam."

Cecilia turned around. "And who is this gentleman?"

“I’m Kiana’s friend.” Zhong Gui pointed to the one in Cecilia’s arms to indicate who he was talking about, and then continued, “As for the other Kiana, she has a new name now. She gave her original name to her sister.”

Let's stop watching the spectacle and reduce the sadness and clichés.

P.S.: Thanks to "zlice", "183…", "136…", "157…", "x126…", and "夹了逼骇派" for the monthly tickets, thank you everyone!!!

Chapter 177 Cecilia: "Siegfried, you're spared."

Madam, you didn't want this either...

Bah, my surname isn't Cao!

Without keeping them waiting long, the crowd spoke up, saying, "Siegfried, well, he's a man!"

"You died in Siberia back then. Siegfried and Kiana were the original Kiana. Later, they learned about the experimental subjects and decided to go and save the child."

"Whether as a father or on the road, as a knight, he could not ignore this situation."

"And so, the two knights of Kaslana, one big and one small, embarked on the mission to rescue K-423 from the Schicksal headquarters."

"K-423, the former code name of the child you are holding now."

Cecilia held Kiana with a sorrowful expression, while Theresa lowered her head as if recalling the past.

Mei, standing to the side, revealed a hint of anger in her eyes, while the uneasy expression of the heavily armed bunny flickered in and out.

A golden light flashed in Himeko's eyes, and the surrounding temperature subtly rose. Fu Hua sighed deeply.

Cecilia gently stroked Kiana's face: "And then?"

"And then the trouble started—"

In 2006, Siegfried and Kiana, with Theresa's help, escaped Destiny with K-423.

However, Kiana Kaslana was struck in the head by a flying machine while fleeing from her destiny with her father, and fell into the snow-covered mountains from a height of several thousand meters.

"But she didn't die. Ragnar took her back to 390 Destiny for treatment, and she's now a healthy young woman."

Theresa: "How come I've never seen her before? Did Grandpa hide her?"

"She used to be around you every day. The reason you didn't know is because she lost her memory, and girls change a lot as they grow up. Okay, we'll talk about her later. Let's talk about K-423 first."

Siegfried, who had escaped, settled in Eastern Siberia with K-423.

Because K-423 had no memory of anything before the age of eight, Siegfried lied and claimed that this was because K-423 had suffered a severe head injury in an accident.

He told K-423 that she was born into the Kaslana family and that her mother, Cecilia, died when she was two years old, but refused to tell K-423 her name.

Cecilia squinted: "..."

—Influenced by Siegfried, K-423 decided to become a warrior of the Kaslana family, who would do anything to protect others. However, although Siegfried taught K-423 the Kaslana family's gun-fu, he did not allow K-423 to fight Honkai Beasts.

Zhong Gui revealed a scene, a place with a strong sense of technology—

In 2000, Siegfried lost her, and seven years later he lost the most precious treasure she had given him.

The dejected Siegfried takes a child who has "lost" his memory to Anti-Entropy for refuge.

The red-haired doctor stared unblinkingly at the man before him; this scene had been going on for several days.

"Siegfried, are you planning to ignore me for a few days!?"

The dejected man glanced at her, then turned and left.

Hey! You stop right there!

"Tsk." The man stopped, exasperated. "I'd also like to ask you, Ms. Tesla. How many more days are you planning to follow me?"

Tesla didn't care about the other party's attitude; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. "...You've finally agreed to talk."

"Long time no see, Mr. Siegfried."

"Speak plainly, Dr. Tesla. I have a family to support."

Tesla showed a hint of shame and anxiously explained, "Two years ago, back then our Anti-Entropy unit—"

"—If that's the case, I don't want to hear your explanation." Siegfried rudely interrupted Tesla. "It's because you didn't provide timely support back then that Kiana..."

"...I'm sorry, we're really sorry. But, regarding K-423—"

"Reverse Entropy guarantees the safety of me and Kiana; that's the condition I'm handing her over to you."

And now...

Siegfried took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly. "My deal with you is long over. Farewell."

"Wait! I'm not asking you to hand over K-423 to us."

Tesla paused for a moment, then said, "If... you really want to treat her like a daughter."

Siegfried's expression changed. "I don't understand what you're saying, Dr. Tesla."

Siegfried's face showed pain, shame, and finally, confusion.

-

Cecilia's face darkened. She knew that at that time, Siegfried had actually regarded K-423 as a replacement for Kiana, and that Dr. Tesla (aeeh) had touched a nerve, which was why he was acting this way.

But she didn't know what to do, and she couldn't blame Siegfried for losing everything. All she could do was hold the child in her arms tightly.

A single tear rolled down the closed eyes of the child in her arms.

Every ordinary person present, including Cecilia, noticed it, but no one called it out on.

On the screen that Zhong Gui pulled out—

"If there's nothing else, then I really must go."

Despite saying he was leaving, Siegfried moved slowly, as if waiting for something.

"...Siegfried."

Hearing the sound behind him, Siegfried stopped instantly.

"K-423, although she is a clone of your daughter, she still has the genes, core, and consciousness of the Second Herrscher within her. You should be aware of all of this."
