Kafka got up and walked towards the door.
"Then... what about the original her?"
Silver Wolf frowned and asked, puzzled.
"She..."
Kafka smiled, seemingly unconcerned about someone's disappearance.
"She went to a relatively safe place, and there..."
Her steps faltered slightly, her eyes lifted slightly, her gaze seemingly piercing through the thick protective layer of the space station, traversing countless galaxies and time and space, and finally... landing on a certain beach.
"She will experience a completely new journey."
"Sigh... Fine, whatever makes you happy, but I hope someone won't be discouraged by this when they get back."
Silver Wolf shrugged, then quickly teleported himself and Kafka to the pre-arranged coordinates outside the space station.
They've already wasted enough time; there's still so much more to do.
With the departure of the two, the room containing the rare artifacts returned to silence, leaving only the white-haired girl with a furrowed brow, unable to find peace in her dream...
Then, after an unknown amount of time, a commotion arose at the doorway...
……
Wow! This girl is so pretty!
A somewhat familiar voice rang in Kiana's ears, causing her already slightly furrowed brows to tighten even more.
"Heartbeat and pulse... are a little weak. March, prepare for artificial respiration."
A calm, youthful voice rang out again…
"Artificial respiration?"
Kiana, who was still asleep, was slightly startled upon hearing this.
"Ah... I, I'm not very good at this, Danheng, you should do it!"
"..."
The lively female voice visibly tensed up a little, followed by a long silence...
"?"
Then, Kiana felt a cool aura, carrying a hint of the weight of books, gradually approaching her.
"!"
Almost the instant that aura was about to reach her, she suddenly opened her eyes!
"Oh! She's awake!"
Noticing the person lying on the ground waking up, a capable-looking girl with short pink hair quickly pushed away the approaching handsome face with her hand, and then looked at Kiana with excited blue and pink eyes.
"Hey miss, how are you? Are you alright? Do you remember your name?"
"I……"
Looking at the excited and delicate little face in front of her, Kiana's azure eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.
Who is she? Where is she? Why is she here...?
Seeing the confused look in the girl's eyes, March 7th and the composed Danheng exchanged a glance.
"Let's give her a break first."
"Dan Heng said in a deep voice."
After all, they had just experienced an invasion by the antimatter legion, so it was normal to be a little dazed.
Kiana stood there stunned for a long time before she finally came to her senses...
Didn't she... press that button that's supposed to take you back to the past?
But this place doesn't seem to be the Thousand Feather Academy she's familiar with, nor is it St. Freya Academy...
"hiss……"
In an instant, Kiana felt a headache coming on. She quickly checked herself and found that the power of "End" was still there, but... it seemed to be sealed by something.
So... in the end, is the idea of starting over just another lie?
So where is this place now?
Could it be that her consciousness was also uploaded?
Can……
Kiana tried to stand up, and the pink-haired girl seemed to sense her intention, quickly supporting her arm and helping her to her feet.
"Thank you."
Seeing the pink-haired girl's concerned gaze, Kiana nodded and thanked her.
"Hey, don't be so polite! Are you feeling better now? Can you remember anything?"
"Um……"
Kiana nodded silently.
She silently looked around, trying to determine what kind of space she was in.
This... seems to be a collection room? There are some jars containing things she doesn't understand...
"!!!"
When that slightly dazed gaze swept over a certain collectible in the collection room, those azure eyes suddenly jolted!
Then, under the questioning gazes of the two, the girl with loose hair, dressed in a white bodysuit, rushed towards a collectible in the collection room as if she didn't care about anything.
Gazing at the fragments that corresponded to the pieces they had previously collected... tears welled up in their azure eyes.
"The Fallen God Sword... Himeko..."
"Hime...ko...?"
Upon hearing this, the two people behind him exchanged glances again, their eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and understanding.
Chapter Four: Firefly: A Cataclysmic Start!
"Keng!!!"
A piercing clang of metal echoed through the ruined city. Accompanied by the roar of the giant beast, a petite golden figure moved swiftly among the colossal monsters, occasionally wielding her "bladeless sword" to slash at their bodies.
"Damn it... that button is definitely some kind of trap! It sent me to this godforsaken place..."
Yingyin bit her lip lightly, gazing at the towering monster, while the elemental power around her gradually condensed.
This world is very strange. Although she cannot sense the existence of elemental power, there seems to be a force in nature that can replace elemental power and be used by her.
Faced with a monster that is three stories tall, it is clear that physical strength alone is not enough to defeat it!
"Although I'm not entirely sure if this power is stable, for now... we have no choice but to give it a try!"
"Go with the wind!"
"Boom!!!"
A powerful tornado formed almost instantly beneath Ying's feet, carrying a terrifying force as it crashed violently into the three-story-tall monster!
In the instant it collided with the turquoise tornado, the monster's body was ravaged as if by a thousand blades, leaving countless dense wounds, and then...
The tornado completely enveloped it, ultimately annihilating the monster into ashes!
"Hiss... This power is so strong?"
Ying blinked, looking at her palm in disbelief.
She is now fully aware of her current physical condition; aside from combat skills, everything else is exactly the same as it was at the beginning…
Right now, she'd probably have a hard time even fighting a young master in his first form!
Instantly, the resentment towards that red button intensified.
What happened to the promise to send her back to the very beginning of her journey? What happened to...?
Give her a chance to make up for those regrets?
In the end, it was just another conspiracy...
Negative emotions flooded into Ying's mind like a tidal wave: betrayal and separation, scheming and plotting...
At the same time, the Honkai Energy Index in Changkong City began to gradually increase.
……
"Still no trace of Kiana?"
Inside St. Freya Academy, the petite figure standing behind the large office desk looked somewhat worried.
"Not yet. We checked the nearby surveillance footage and found no trace of Kiana. Bronya also analyzed the footage and found no evidence of tampering..."
Wearing a commander's uniform and with her red hair tied back, Himeko's expression was also very solemn.
All of this is too strange. How could a living person just disappear into thin air in the heavily monitored St. Freya Academy?
"This shouldn't be..."
Theresa stroked her chin, her eyes filled with contemplation.
"Could it be... another instance of anti-entropy? Or... is it destiny? Damn it... could it be Grandpa's doing again!?"
"Snapped!"
She slammed both hands hard on the solid wood office desk, the strange strength that seemed completely out of place with her petite frame making the desk creak and groan.
"Dean, calm down. This is all too strange, and we can't jump to conclusions right now."
Himeko quickly tried to calm Theresa, who was about to explode with anger, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"Kiana...where have you gone, you little brat?"
"Dong Dong Dong!!"
Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the office door.
