My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Kiana appeared at the door, quickly ran to Mei's side, hugged her, and glared at Luo Chen.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"You didn't do anything to Mei while I was away, did you?"

Luo Chen sighed, wondering why this paramecium's intelligence suddenly appeared every time it came to questions about Mei.

"you guess."

Luo Chen looked at Kiana with a half-smile, which drove Kiana crazy.

"Alright, Kiana, stop fooling around. I was just talking to Luo Chen."

Mei comforted Kiana, but the blush on her face proved that she was analyzing the lie, though Kiana didn't notice.

'You really can't lie.'

Luo Chen got up and walked out of the classroom, saying to the two of them, "You two chat, I'm going out for a bit."

"What are you going to do?"

"I have an exam later, I'm going to grab some breakfast."

……

The tense and exciting exam was over, and Luo Chen and Kiana were just about to return to their dormitory when Himeko stopped them and took them to her office.

Upon entering the office, Luo Chen noticed two stacks of papers on Ji Zi's desk and immediately guessed what was going on.

"Um, Himeko-sensei, isn't it a bit much? Our papers were graded directly."

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Himeko spread her hands, looking completely innocent, and said, "After all, it was you two little ones who caused trouble first, and Theresa specifically instructed me to change your grades as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Ji Zi picked up a stack of test papers from the table and said to Luo Chen with satisfaction, "Luo Chen, you did quite well on the test. I estimate that you should be in the top ten of the grade. All your subjects are above the excellent level."

"As for you, Kiana."

Himeko picked up another test paper and looked at Kiana with disappointment: "Congratulations, you failed all subjects."

'We're doomed.'

Luo Chen thought to himself, "So all my efforts over the past two weeks have been wasted. I still have to accept the punishment."

"However, you've almost passed two of your subjects."

Himeko changed the subject and smiled at the two of them: "Then I'll let you go this time."

"Okay!"

Kiana danced with joy, while Himeko watched her with a helpless smile.

"Uh, I feel a little dizzy."

Himeko leaned back in her chair, supporting her head with her hand. Before she could even feel the dizziness, she was about to ask what had happened when everything went black and she collapsed to the ground.

"Himeko-sensei!"

Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise and quickly picked up Himeko. He noticed the Honkai energy erosion marks on her neck and realized something was wrong.

“I’ll take Ms. Himeko to the hospital. You call Aunt Theresa over.”

After giving his instructions, Luo Chen immediately picked up Ji Zi and rushed out, heading straight for the hospital in the academy.

……

When Luo Chen took Himeko to the emergency room, Theresa and the others arrived and waited for news together.

Luo Chen leaned against the hospital wall, his gaze fixed on the door of the emergency room in front of him, remaining silent.

Next up is the Nine Netherworlds.

As Luo Chen was recalling the plot, the door to the emergency room was pushed open, and a doctor came out and said to everyone, "Colonel Himeko is out of danger, but the artificial stigma has caused too much damage to her body, and she is almost at her limit."

“I understand.” Theresa nodded seriously, then listened to the doctor continue.

"Dean, Colonel Himeko will wake up in about half an hour. When that happens, please be sure to persuade her to avoid going to the battlefield."

"Well, I will."

After the doctor left, everyone remained silent. After a long pause, Kiana spoke up, "Auntie, Himeko-sensei, she'll be alright, right?"

"I, I don't know."

Theresa shook her head; she didn't know how much longer Himeko could hold on.

"Himeko-sensei is like this because of the erosion caused by the artificial stigmata, right?"

Luo Chen looked at Theresa and, before she could respond, said to himself, "If we find a replacement original Stigmata, then Himeko-sensei's body can be restored."

“That’s right,” Theresa replied. “I’ve been searching for the original Stigmata for a long time, but I haven’t heard anything.”

"I might know a place."

"Huh?" Theresa didn't quite believe Luo Chen's words, thinking he was just trying to comfort her.

"There's a place in Shenzhou called Jiuyou. Legend has it that it's where the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Shenzhou people, sealed Chiyou. A few years ago, when I secretly entered the Destiny Database, I saw a file that speculated that there might be original holy marks in Jiuyou."

"Is that so?" Theresa crossed her arms, pondering the truth of Luo Chen's words.

"Then I'll go check it out. If it's true, we'll set off immediately."

Chapter 37 Departure, Destination: Nine Netherworlds!

"Himeko, this news is absolutely true!"

The next morning, Theresa ran into Himeko's hospital room, shook Himeko awake from her sleep, and told her about what she had gained the night before.

"Ah... Theresa, I'm not awake yet."

Himeko rubbed her eyes, looking sleepily at Theresa: "But I'm curious, are you sure based on what Xiaochenzi said?"

“No, there’s more.” Theresa looked at her excitedly: “Last night, while I was searching for information, I found an anonymous email that happened to contain information about the Nine Netherworlds. Then I adjusted the Honkai energy concentration table of places similar to the Nine Netherworlds near Shenzhou in recent years and found that it does indeed seem to be a place where the original Holy Marks were produced.”

"Really? Hopefully, this time we'll find something of value."

"Don't say anything discouraging. I'll arrange for someone to go there as soon as you're discharged from the hospital."

"Know it!"

……

On the Hyperion, Himeko stood next to Theresa and said to her, "Theresa, do you know where the Nine Netherworlds are?"

"I know the approximate location, but we still need to prepare first. So you take the five of them and get ready in a nearby city before you set off."

"OK then."

……

Himeko led everyone to land in a nearby city and instructed them to start purchasing supplies.

"China is still the most comfortable place."

Luo Chen strolled along the streets lined with food stalls. The approaching dusk in Shenzhou exuded a lazy atmosphere. Luo Chen enjoyed the lively scene, looking around.

"This young man."

Luo Chen felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw a white-haired middle-aged man standing behind him, smiling at him.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

Luo Chen responded with a smile, already aware of the man's identity.

"It's nothing, it's just that you remind me a bit of a friend of mine."

"Uncle, you don't have to talk to me like that."

Luo Chen leaned close to the uncle's ear and whispered, "Uncle Siegfried, let's find a shop to sit down and talk."

Siegfried wasn't surprised at all that Luo Chen knew his identity. He hooked his arm around Luo Chen's neck and laughed, "Alright, I've been waiting for you to say that."

They casually found a roadside barbecue stall, and Luo Chen and Siegfried sat facing each other. Siegfried spoke first: "Hey kid, wanna have a drink?"

"No, I have a mission."

"Really?" Siegfried ordered a beer and drank it alone.

"Uncle, aren't you going to ask me how I knew about you?"

"Why ask?" Siegfried laughed. "It wasn't your mother who told you, or it was that guy, Kiyono Hatsuyuki."

Luo Chen actually knew Siegfried's answer, but felt it was better to ask.

"Kid, don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Seeing Siegfried's question, Luo Chen nodded: "How did you and my parents meet, Uncle?"

"Well," Siegfried said, stroking his chin as he began to reminisce about the past.

"Your dad and I have known each other since we were kids, but your mom is someone I met through Cecilia. By the way, it was thanks to me that your parents got together in the first place."

"Do you know where my mother is right now?"

"To be honest, I don't know." Siegfried shook his head. "I was also very surprised when I received the news of Xuan Yu's disappearance. Given her personality, she wouldn't do something like this unless it was extremely serious."

"That's it."
