My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

"Well, it's me."

Seeing Luo Chen nod, the two relaxed their guard, initially mistaking him for an intruder.

"Hello, I am Xuan Yu, the captain of the Snow Feather Squad of the Destiny Headquarters, and this is the vice captain, Qingye Chuxue. We would like to extend our sincere greetings to you."

"Hello, where are you headed?"

"Oh, I'd like to see the room of a researcher who went missing here."

Xuan Yu touched her left ring finger, because she had taken off her wedding ring while on a mission.

"I see, please go ahead. I have some things to take care of, so please excuse me."

Luo Chen left in a hurry, not daring to linger for even a second, for fear that Xuan Yu would discover his identity through some strange means.

"This guy is already wrapped up all over, but why is he wearing a mask? It looks so strange. Don't you think so, Xuan Yu? Xuan Yu?"

Qingye Chuxue complained about Luo Chen's outfit, but Xuan Yu didn't respond for a long time. When she turned her head, she saw Xuan Yu looking in the direction Luo Chen left with a face full of doubt.

"Xuanyu, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah! Nothing."

Xuan Yu shook her head, turned to look in the direction Luo Chen had left, and muttered to herself, "I always feel that this tarantula gives me a very familiar feeling."

"A familiar feeling? I don't feel it at all. Let's hurry up and leave."

"Well, that's fine too."

On the other side, Luo Chen hurried along, reaching a secluded corner where he leaned against a wall, breathing heavily with tension. He didn't know why, but seeing Xuan Yu and the other person made him suddenly nervous; perhaps it was the legendary bloodline suppression.

What are you doing here? Have you finished talking with Otto?

Walter and Siegfried came out from the side door together. Luo Chen glanced inside and realized that he had unknowingly walked into the training room.

"We've finished talking. When are we leaving?"

"Time is running out, we should go. The plane is already waiting for us outside."

Chapter 225 Alahato

The three travel by plane to the Anti-Entropy base in Yellowstone, USA, where they will find the tools that will allow them to travel to the moon.

"By the way, you still haven't told me how you convinced that old guy."

As soon as he got off the plane, Siegfried remembered this incident and started asking Walter all sorts of questions, but Walter just kept refusing to reveal a single word.

"So how do we get there?"

Seeing that he couldn't get any information from him, Siegfried had no choice but to change the subject.

“Come with me.”

Walter walked very slowly. There was a person standing in the warehouse ahead. Luo Chen glanced at him and couldn't help but shrink back.

'Holy crap, it's a younger version of Ryoma!'

"Lord Leader."

Thunder Dragon Horse saluted Welt, who gave a few instructions and then led Siegfried and Luo Chen inside.

'Siegfried of Destiny? I've heard he's a lazy, good-for-nothing. I really don't know what made the Alliance Leader take a liking to him.'

Raiden Ryoma glanced at Luo Chen next to Siegfried, and for some reason, he felt an urge to punch him.

'It's best not to provoke the younger version of Ryoma.'

"Here we are."

The three entered the warehouse, and as the ceiling lights came on, Siegfried could see the items stored inside.

"This is……!"

Siegfried was surprised; in front of him was his favorite Alahatto, and he was a loyal fan of it.

"How is this possible? Allahato actually exists!"

"That's right, we're going to use this to go to the moon."

"So this thing isn't just something that exists in animation."

Luo Chen looked up at the humanoid mecha; it was absolutely awesome!

'But piloting a mech to the moon, and having to fight a powerful enemy... why does this scenario feel so familiar?'

Luo Chen couldn't help but think of a certain savage of light, but unfortunately he couldn't transform, and Sirin wasn't Valaron.

Siegfried excitedly discussed Alahatto with Walter, uttering one of the most classic lines from the series, while the other two simply watched him quietly, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"Time is running out. If you want to cause trouble, wait until we get back."

Luo Chen interrupted Siegfried's childish actions and looked at Walter, asking him to explain the plans after going to the moon.

"Once we get to the moon, we'll hide Alahato first. I'll go with Tarantula to the location of the Second Herrscher. Then, Siegfried, you'll act as you see fit and quickly collect Soul Steel samples."

"After all this is over, I will drive the Alahato to support you."

Siegfried nodded. He already understood the general process, but one question kept lingering in his mind.

"However, the Second Herrscher's current strength is unknown. Can we really defeat her with just the help of Arahato?"

"We'll see. I'll try to communicate with her first."

Luo Chen spoke up, unsure of Xi Lin's attitude towards him, but ultimately hoping to resolve the matter simply.

"I have a Plan B."

"Stop, Walter, I knew you had another plan. You can throw away that stupid plan. Don't even think about sacrificing yourself to let us leave. Besides, you'll be going with me. Do you think I'd let you sacrifice yourself?"

"...This is only a last resort."

Walter smiled wryly. He could feel Luo Chen's concern for him. He could already consider this person, whom he had only known for less than a week, as a friend.

In the end, Walter revealed the plan. He originally intended to sacrifice himself to buy time for Siegfried and Luo Chen to escape, but Luo Chen forced him to change it to buy time for the two of them.

"The choice is entirely yours; I hope you won't make the wrong one."

The two men looked at Siegfried at the same time, and Siegfried felt immense pressure, unable to speak for a moment.

"There are still 6 hours until launch. If there's anything you haven't done yet, just go ahead and do it."

Having finished explaining the plan, Walter sat up and walked out of the warehouse. Although Luo Chen wanted to stay on the moon with him, he might just abandon him when the time came.

"Does Walter really like to cause trouble?"

Luo Chen snorted, glanced at Siegfried who was looking at him, and waved his hand at him.

"I'm leaving."

Luo Chen teleported away, and Siegfried took one last look at Alahato before shaking his head and leaving the warehouse.

Luo Chen entered the imaginary space and went into the control room of the Thousand Realms One Vehicle to check on Aurora's condition.

What are you all doing standing here?

"Brother Luo Chen, Xilin, she..."

Aurora said worriedly, as the others saw Sirin, who had become a Herrscher, in the images transmitted by Luo Chen, and they were all very concerned.

"Don't worry, I will bring Celine back, I promise."

Luo Chen patted each of the four people's heads one by one, then squatted down so that they were at eye level with him.

"I'm going to the moon later, and I might be too busy to switch the images to you. But don't worry, I'll come back and tell you when everything is over."

"Yeah, we get it."

"Would you like me to give you something to pass the time?"

"No need, it's in here."

Agatha shook his head, took Luo Chen's hand, and led him to the back carriage, where a holographic projection was prominently displayed, showing an animation.

"No, what kind of weird stuff did Vilvie add to this?"

"Brother Luo Chen, what are you talking about? Who is Wilvi?"

“It’s nothing, just an ‘old’ friend of mine, but she’s no longer here.”

Luo Chen silently mourned for three seconds for the big V teacher with a 100% participation rate, and then began to study what was on the screen.

"Wow, so many anime! Did people even follow anime back in the day?"

Luo Chen scrolled up and down the screen, roughly estimating that there were two or three hundred titles, more than enough for them to watch.

"Then you all stay here and behave yourselves, and don't get off the train."

"We understand, Brother Luo Chen, you must bring Xilin back."

Aurora held Luo Chen's hand, her face tense as she spoke earnestly, while the others also placed their hands on Luo Chen's.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring Xilin back."

……

"Dad, come home soon!"

"I know, I will."
