Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

"By the way, it's been a long time. You're still as cute as a doll."

"Doll?? Huh? Huh? Why are you suddenly bringing this up..." Theresa blushed.

After hanging up the call, Theresa went to the training ground to vent her frustration.

“How lovely, Lady Theresa,” Theresa smiled.

Theresa, who was watching a movie with Karen and Otto in the Love Cottage in Germany, suddenly shivered, took a sip of bitter melon juice, and gradually calmed down.

Shiyu Qiluo wished she could change her position and get as far away from Rita, that strange woman, as possible, even though Theresa was already older than her...

"Rita has finally appeared. It seems like you're the only one among us who hasn't made an appearance yet," Salome said with a smile. According to Yaqing's usual logic, she probably wouldn't live much longer and would probably be written out of the movie midway through.

“The only thing missing is that ‘you’ are still alive.” Shub thought of this too, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not sure I'm dead, I just said my whereabouts are unknown." Shigure Kira hurriedly distanced herself from "the dead people" to show that she was still alive.

After hearing their comments, Rita was also unsure about the upcoming plot. Although it was nominally Walter's script, everyone knew that Yaqing's methods of planting knives were top-notch.

He won't actually kill off his true self, will he?

Rita herself wasn't sure either.

After Fu Hua's tutoring session ended, at night, Kiana, dressed in revealing clothing, fell asleep while hugging a Houmu doll. However, judging from her furrowed brows, it was clear that this was not a pleasant dream.

The scene shifts from the bedroom to the square of St. Freya Academy. Kiana has changed back into her white armor from her revealing outfit. The blood-red filter creates an oppressive atmosphere. Suddenly, a woman's eerie laughter rings out behind her.

Kiana turned around sharply, but saw nothing.

"I've slept for far too long. But now, the gears of fate have started turning again."

"Welcome home, Kiana Kaslana☆~"

The woman's voice made Kiana momentarily disoriented, but she quickly realized she was dreaming and tried to wake up. However, the woman, who did not show herself, was in no hurry and completely ignored Kiana.

Upon hearing Kiana declare herself the strongest Valkyrie of the future, the woman's voice finally broke into laughter, and she said, word by word, "It seems you are completely unaware of the tragic fate that has befallen you. You are just an orphan abandoned by your father, who has never even seen your mother's face."

"Aren't you curious why you've never had a mother since you were born? Why did your father leave you?"

The woman's words successfully piqued Kiana's interest. However, when Kiana questioned her, the woman deliberately changed the subject, saying she wanted to play a little game with Kiana.

This allowed Kiana to catch up with her, but also summoned many dead things to hinder Kiana's progress.

Seeing the familiar ☆ symbol, the moviegoers became excited.

"It's Her Majesty! Ahhh, Her Majesty is still alive!"

"Oh no, we can't say that her voice and appearance are still there. Her Majesty the Queen has actually come online again."

"Your Majesty, your voice and appearance remain vivid in my memory, and your smile will last forever!"

"Her Majesty is still alive?!"

"If the Queen hasn't logged off, does that mean Cecilia hasn't logged off either?"

"I feel like all my tears were shed in vain..."

Among the women in the front row, Shub guessed, "Since Sirin hasn't logged off, have you received any news? Will Director Cecilia reappear later?"

"I haven't received any such plot information yet." Salome, as the director, denied Shub's guess.

"Salome, how many scripts have you received so far?" Cheng Lixue asked curiously.

It wasn't just Cheng Lixue who was curious; all the women were curious, and even Kiana and the others in the back row pricked up their ears in curiosity.

“I can’t say,” Salome refused to answer.

The crowd couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

But Patrick noticed that Salome was giving them meaningful glances.

"Sirin?" Himeko suddenly remembered that Sirin was also a student in her class, but she had been on leave from school, so she had no way of seeing this "Queen" at St. Freya Academy.

In the back row, May looked at Möbius with a half-smile and said, "Dr. Möbius, it looks like I've won."

Mebius remained defiant, saying, "It's just this part; it doesn't mean the core of the Herrscher of the Void is inside Kiana's body."

Having worked with Möbius for almost ten years, May was well aware of her stubbornness and pride, so she didn't press the issue further, smiled, and continued watching the movie.

But Mebius was becoming increasingly unsure, and cautiously nudged Yaqing with his elbow.

Yaqing looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Mebius frowned.

Strangely enough, Yaqing actually understood the meaning in Möbius's eyes.

Could the Herrscher of the Void's core really be inside Kiana's body?

Mebius gave a signal with his eyes.

To ensure the fairness of the bet, Yaqing pretended not to see it.

Mebius was so angry that he stomped on his foot hard.

……

Meanwhile, in Canghai City, Shenzhou, Siegfried and his wife were also in the movie theater. Siegfried once again demonstrated his financial power, booking an entire VIP screening room. Cecilia's brows furrowed when she saw Sirin's voice on the screen telling Kiana that she had been abandoned by her father.

Noticing Cecilia's frown, Siegfried's survival instinct kicked in, and he quickly explained, "Wife, you know me. I would never abandon Kiana."

No wonder Siegfried explained so quickly; if he had been any slower, he probably would have been kneeling on a keyboard all night when he got back to the hotel.

“I know.” Cecilia understood Siegfried and trusted Yaqing’s scriptwriting abilities, so she was wondering how to make this illogical plot more believable.

Cecilia guessed there were only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that Xilin is lying.

The second possibility is that something very serious happened during the fourteen-year gap in the storyline, enough to force Siegfried to leave Kiana.

"Wife..." Siegfried called out cautiously.

"Pfft." Seeing Siegfried's pitiful look, Cecilia couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, I'm not angry with you. That's just a scene from an anime."

"Then you don't have to kneel on the keyboard, right?" Siegfried immediately relaxed and said casually.

“You still have to kneel,” Cecilia said with a smile.

"Huh?" Siegfried was stunned.

“Just kidding.” Cecilia blinked.

Siegfried breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 71 The Darkness in My Heart

After Kiana caught up with the shadow whose features were obscured, the female voice answered Kiana's question as promised. She brought up the Second Honkai Impact 14 years ago and explained Cecilia's identity to Kiana.

"STOP, it's almost dawn, let's keep this a mystery for now~"

The woman deliberately left the question unanswered.

The scene shifts to a library, where Kiana seems to have forgotten what happened in her dream.

"That stinky Sirin, why did she have to be a riddle teller of all things? What does the Second Honkai Impact have to do with me? I was only a kid back then." Kiana hardened her stance, her fists hardening.

"Why does Sirin appear in that idiot Kiana's dream? Isn't that an even bigger problem?" Bronya seized on the blind spot.

“Yes.” Kiana’s eyes were full of wisdom, just like Theresa’s.

"I have a feeling that the plot is setting up a bigger scheme." Fu Hua had a premonition that things were definitely not that simple.

"What could be wrong? It's just a nightmare." Xiao Shi said dismissively.

“No, it’s not just a nightmare. According to the plot, Kiana shouldn’t have met Sirin, so why would she dream about Sirin? Unless…” Fu Hua seemed to have thought of something, like the post-credits scene in the last movie.

In the transition between reality and dreams, Kiana, who was secretly playing games with Bronya in the library (slacking off), was quickly caught by Mei, who grabbed her ear and took her to the training ground for special training.

If Kiana fails this Valkyrie exam, forget about becoming an A-rank Valkyrie; she'll probably be demoted from a B-rank Valkyrie to a D-rank Valkyrie, responsible for clerical and logistical duties.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Fu Hua, who was training diligently, at the training ground. After completing their combat training, Fu Hua once again took Kiana back to the library for a refresher course in cultural studies.

Fu Hua explained the origin of the Stigmata with great skill.

This surprised Kiana greatly. "Really? You're saying it so seriously, as if you've seen it in person, Class President."

"...You're joking, I only read about it in a book," Fu Hua said modestly.

"I've seen it in person, she's lived from the last era to now." Seeing the awkwardness and panic on the screen when Fu Hua was modeled, Cheng, who was originally trembling with fear because of the dream, burst out laughing.

"There's no need to keep bringing this up." Ever since Fu Hua's character was introduced, she has been subjected to "verbal abuse" from those around her.

"The Destiny has actually managed to replicate the Stigmata and create artificial Stigmata. No wonder there are so many Valkyrie units. But what exactly are Stigmata?" Sakura asked, puzzled.

"Big sister is so silly. Didn't Sister Fu Hua just say that the Stigmata are the power left behind by outstanding figures in ancient history?" Ling waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing.

Sakura smiled gently and said, "Thank you for telling my sister."

If you ignore Sakura's hands as she furiously rubs her small face, you can't help but admire the deep bond between the sisters.

"Ugh... Da Jie, I was wrong, please let go of my face..."

Kiana, who was training hard at the training ground, met Himeko and Theresa. After they were both surprised, Kiana left the training ground in anger.
