To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Kevin nodded slightly in agreement.

...

“Cocolia? You really are…” Einstein said, glancing at Cocolia who was tied up beside him.

Of course, the embarrassing way of tying her hair with a bow and perfume, as described at the beginning, has long been changed by Anti-Entropy. After all, she is one of Anti-Entropy's representative figures, no matter what.

"I agreed to do voice acting in exchange for a better living standard, right? Of course, remember, more importantly, I want to give my children a chance if they come to visit me,"

Cocolia watched the game video with interest. "This is really interesting. I didn't expect that you two actually did your own voice acting in the video!"

"This has nothing to do with you, you old fox!" Tesla said bluntly.

She had always felt that the fact that Anti-Entropy hadn't killed Cocolia was already the best treatment they could offer, but now they wanted to negotiate with her to focus on voice acting? And look how much better she looked than she did these past two days!

Although the daily prison labor required her to work, it was obvious that not having to engage in mental activities had made her look much better, unlike when she first arrived.

Sometimes Tesla wondered, how could someone look even more radiant after coming to prison? Was she on vacation?

"Don't say that, Dr. Tesla. I've basically handed over all my chips to you."

Cocolia said, maintaining her composure even while tied up, "It's not a pleasant feeling to hand over the power of life and death to someone else."

"Hmph! Good to know," Tesla said, still annoyed. She had considered further reducing Cocolia's living standards.

But she knew that the cell Cocolia was in was already very bad, but Cocolia casually remarked that it was much better than a tent in the snow where the wind howled.

This infuriated Dr. Tesla. Before becoming a leader, she was a soldier, and no prison could compare to the battlefield, especially a battlefield like Siberia.

On the surface, Cocolia seemed unconcerned, but in reality, she wasn't very confident about the future. She handed over her leverage one by one because she wanted to see the children in the orphanage one last time. She also wanted to see if Bronya had truly fulfilled her promise to save Seele. If she had, she would have no regrets.

"Cocolia, back to the main point, if it were you, what would you do next in the video? Or what are your plans?" Einstein asked.

"..." Cocolia was silent for a moment, then raised her face and smiled maliciously, "Although it's not nice to say it like this, I've only ever recognized the research abilities of the two of you. I guess I'm thinking of... setting you up?"

Tesla's lips twitched, and he glanced at Einstein, noticing that she didn't look too good either.

“Say nice things have almost no effect. Since you’re asking me, you must want to know the real answer, right?” Cocolia said quickly.

"You want to... prove your worth again?" Einstein asked, frowning.

“If Alliance Leader Walter were to return, my involvement would allow Anti-Entropy to grow even faster,” she enticed.

"There's no need for that. We won't trust you anymore," Tesla said curtly.

"Ahem—" A mature man walked slowly towards them, leaning against the wall. He wore glasses, had short brown hair, and a white plaid shirt.

"It seems our leader is even weaker than me..." Cocolia glanced at Welt and said with some disappointment.

She suddenly realized that even if Walter returned, it wouldn't stop the merger of Destiny and Anti-Entropy. If they merged, those old stories would be dug up and fall into Destiny's hands, which would be troublesome.

As for Anti-Entropy, she also realized that since she wasn't executed immediately, she would probably see Bronya again in the future.

"It's okay, there's still a chance," Cocolia thought to herself.

"Ahem, Ai Yin, how is the situation?" he asked.

"Oh dear, didn't I tell you to get some rest?" Tesla looked at Yang, both surprised and angry.

Yang gave Tesla an apologetic look, then frowned as he glanced at the bound Cocolia. He only knew that Cocolia had caused quite a stir and had betrayed Anti-Entropy, but he didn't know the exact extent.

"What's going on? You'll find out once you play this game!" Tesla handed Yang a phone and told him to go back to bed.

"Games?" Yang glanced at the people present and realized that they were indeed discussing the game screen on the big screen.

"It's the game where you did some of the voice-over work a while ago. Let's go back now!" Tesla dragged Yang back with him.

Chapter 6 Fu Hua's Journey to China

At this time, Fu Hua was not inside the academy. After informing Kallen, she embarked on her journey to Shenzhou.

In recent years, she has been traveling around the world under the mandate of fate, and has rarely been to China, where she used to stay.

When was the last time I set foot on China?

Looking at the bustling city before her, Fu Hua was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

Fortunately, she stopped thinking about it.

I was carrying a bag with not many personal items inside, and I also brought an umbrella because it was going to rain on Taixu Mountain today.

She then traveled light to Mount Taixu—the place where she had lived for a long time.

After the release of Honkai Impact 3, the long-lost tranquil Mount Taixu was once again inhabited by some people, perhaps because the people of China had once again remembered the immortal who was said to have lived on Mount Taixu.

It's drizzling today. Green moss has spread onto the stone steps of the mountain path, and the loose grass has clumped together, making it very slippery in the rain.

As the rainwater rises, it forms a thin layer of mist, making it even harder to spot pedestrians on the road.

There were fewer people up the mountain today, making it seem even more desolate compared to the photos online.

However, this is also why she would rather go up the mountain even on rainy days.

At the foot of the mountain, Fu Hua sighed softly. She climbed the steps, and Mount Taixu in the rain had a unique charm. A long white mist shrouded the steep mountains, appearing and disappearing in the ethereal clouds, sometimes near, sometimes far.

Fu Hua wasn't in a hurry. She walked slowly, appreciating the scenery she used to see often.

Cangxuan, Danzhu, Jilin... Fu Hua silently recited each name in her heart, recalling past events: the joyous festivals they shared on the land of Shenzhou, the scenes of her cheering them on as she fought demons, and finally, the scene of them handing her a puppet before their lives were about to end.

“Red Kite...when we’re not by your side, let it take our place.”

"We can't accompany you on this journey, but you must believe that you will definitely meet people who are willing to help you and walk with you. You definitely will!"

Cangxuan and Danzhu are working diligently on a doll, using the knowledge they gained in the laboratory.

"Alright, it's finished. Keep it with you!" Cang Xuan happily handed it over.

The doll that looked remarkably like her stayed by her side from then on.

Unfortunately, a thousand years have passed, and the doll's energy has been exhausted. Even it cannot compare to Fu Hua's long lifespan.

"Immortal, remember to dig me out, okay? I'm just out of energy," Cangxuan Zhishu said, her voice trembling with worry.

"You must remember, don't throw away this part of your memory."

Perhaps even Cangxuan didn't expect that the puppet couldn't accompany Chiyuan forever.

The immortal could only nod slightly and store it away.

"I clearly... I clearly tried my best to conserve energy, but, Cangxuan, I'm sorry, I still didn't wait for the immortal to find a friend."

The Book of Azure Mystery was thought of in its last moments of consciousness, and then it was placed in the box and sealed away.

All past events are now history, and the people of yesteryear are no longer by my side.

A drop of rain fell on Fu Hua's brow, the icy sensation interrupting her thoughts.

The umbrella in her hand was quite old; perhaps it could be sold as an antique in an antique shop. Fu Hua chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Continuing up the mountain, this time, she remembered—she remembered her promise to the Book of Azure Mystery.

With the help of the doctors and the others, the awakening of the Book of Azure Profound should be within reach.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past in front of them.

"Ah!" A little girl's figure fell backward, about to tumble down the steps. Climbing a mountain in the rain is a bit difficult for ordinary people, especially since it is a mountain like Taixu Mountain that is rarely repaired.

Fu Hua instinctively steadied her and helped her stand up.

"Thank you, young lady," a middle-aged man walked quickly towards him. He almost slipped too, but quickly regained his balance and gasped for breath.

"It's alright, but why did we have to climb the mountain today of all days?" Fu Hua shook her head and held the umbrella over her and the little girl's heads.

"Sigh, I was always busy before, and I never got to come to Taixu Mountain as I promised the child. Now that I have some free time, I didn't expect it to rain again." The man scratched his head sheepishly and put his arm around the little girl.

"Wow! This big sister looks just like the legendary Crimson Phoenix Immortal, even more like the one in the game!" The little girl exclaimed as she looked at Fu Hua's face, having just calmed down.

Unfortunately, the stone statue of the Crimson Iris Immortal is not clear in the rain, otherwise it would be a better comparison.

The little girl stared at Fu Hua's face, carefully comparing it to her memories, but no matter how she compared them, she couldn't recall any specific details.

Then she looked at Fu Hua's umbrella and her eyes widened. Someone still uses this kind of umbrella? Could it be... a deity?

The man glanced at Fu Hua, then at the Crimson Kite statue in the rain, and said awkwardly, "There should be... there should still be differences, Xiao Ling, don't say that."

"But...but..." she tugged at the man's sleeve, pointing to the umbrella.

"She really seems to be an immortal! I love the Crimson Kite Immortal the most. Compared to those myths, the Crimson Kite Immortal who appeared in history books protected the Divine Land from enemies for thousands of years. She is really amazing!"

"Don't even think about it. How could an immortal be born?" The man looked at the umbrella in Fu Hua's hand with some surprise, but he still explained, "Besides, the matter of the Crimson Iris Immortal is just a legend now. No one has ever seen him."

"Thank you, young lady, we'll be going now!" the man said to Fu Hua again.

"Aren't you considering going down the mountain? As far as I know, the rain isn't going to stop today," Fu Hua said.

"No, I have to keep my promise. I'll be behind her this time. This child already likes Chi Yuan, and with that game called Honkai Impact 3, she's even more eager to see it. But she keeps saying that Fu Hua's storyline is still too short."

In the rain, the two walked further and further away, their figures disappearing into the vast mist.

Fu Hua remained silent. Now that she had reached the halfway point, she was fortunate enough to find a small path to quickly climb the mountain.

As for her mountain dwelling, she wasn't worried. She had set up an array around it, and without sufficient strength, one couldn't enter.

"The storyline of the Crimson Iris Immortal? Sorry, you might be disappointed."

Having completed the voice acting for "The Legend of the Swordsman," Fu Hua naturally knew about the subsequent developments in her storyline.

"But is the Crimson Iris Immortal's identity still the same in the Divine Continent?"

Fu Hua felt a slight pang of emotion, but she didn't stop walking. Soon she arrived at the small house she used to live in, a simple life with little decoration inside.

A bed, a table, a chair, and a folding fan; outside is a fine field where spring plants still grow.

After a moment's thought, Fu Hua collected a jar of herbs.

"So, this can be considered a local specialty, right?" Fu Hua thought to herself.

Then, he opened the hidden compartment on the bed, took out a box from the center, and inside the box was a small, sleeping figure—the Cangxuan Book, which had been his companion for so long.

After gazing at it for a long time, she gently placed it in her bosom.

In this way, one matter can be considered settled.

Then, she gazed in the direction of Chi You and sighed softly, but she knew she would have to go there once her strength was restored.
