Honkai Impact 3: Taking Life as C? Even the Valkyries are afraid of me

At midnight, the campus was empty, with only the summer cicadas singing under the moon.

If there wasn't something special, I wouldn't be here at this time.

Jizi was sitting in the laboratory. The administrator here had left work long ago, but she had obtained Theresa's consent to use any equipment here.

The equipment in this laboratory can check the physical condition of the Valkyrie, and she is a frequent visitor here.

Because of the erosion of the artificial stigmata, Ji Zi's physical condition was not optimistic. She knew that she could only live for one or two years, or three or four years at most.

Just in case, Ji Zi wanted to know the moment of her death, know her own death date, and then face her fate with awareness.

Theresa naturally couldn't just let Himeko die, and she went to great lengths to fix the defects of the artificial stigmata.

She used the Black Abyss White Flower before the timeline changed, and used Shaniyat's Holy Blood after the timeline changed. She did everything she could, but her body still deteriorated step by step.

Of course, Ji Zi also accepted her fate early on, just as she knew the huge flaws of artificial stigmata, but still did it without hesitation.

Even for a Valkyrie, the result of the long-term erosion of Honkai energy is only to become a dead soldier and die, which cannot be changed.

She is not afraid of death, she just wants to do something before the last moment of her life and try her best to emit her own light.

Facing the approaching god of death, there is only one thing Ji Zi has to do, wait quietly for its arrival.

Ji Zi had originally given up hope, but Bai Ming's appearance seemed to bring a glimmer of hope.

She remembered that after getting drunk, she would leave a bowl of sobering juice for herself every day.

From that time on, my body no longer felt any pain.

The mysterious boy named Bai Ming may have a way to save himself from a future tormented by the pain of artificial stigmata.

When she thought of this, a gleam of hope appeared in Ji Zi's eyes.

Of course, she did not expect to recover the life span that was taken away by the artificial stigmata.

As long as I can stay normal and take the last few steps, I will be very satisfied and happy.

But at this moment, Ji Zi looked at the ingredient test report of the good juice in her hand and frowned, because blood components were detected on it.

She vaguely guessed what this was. If her own physical improvement was based on the life and health of others, that would not be allowed.

In fact, Ji Zi's mental and physical condition has improved at a visible rate recently, and Theresa can naturally guess why.

But this matter is a bit troublesome to explain, and Ji Zi is stubborn in this regard, so she simply keeps silent and pretends she knows nothing.

………………

After Bai Ming arrived, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Ji Zi went straight to the point.

"You gave me the juice, and it seems to have made me feel better. It's amazing. Can you tell me what's in it?"

"Haven't you asked Theresa, Tesla and the others about my blood?" Bai Ming replied.

Ji Zi was dumbfounded and shocked.

It was an unexpected answer. I had intended to expose the other party's hidden secrets step by step.

As a result, he admitted it right away. The other party actually admitted it directly and did not play by the rules at all.

Ji Zi was stunned for several seconds, and finally came to her senses. She couldn't help laughing:

"Shouldn't you just give me a perfunctory answer and hide this fact in order to avoid me worrying?"

"If it was before, I might have done it again, but now you should have guessed that it doesn't make any sense."

Bai Ming looked at the paper documents in Ji Zi's hand.

"That's right. You are so smart, so you should know what I want to say."

After a pause, Ji Zi spoke to Bai Ming with an extremely serious and solemn expression.

"I am very grateful to you, but please don't hurt yourself for me.

I don’t want to live like a blood-sucking worm by feeding on the blood of others, and my self-esteem won’t allow me to do that.”

Bai Ming nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, no problem."

"?!!!" Ji Zi was shocked again, "You agreed so easily, you wouldn't agree on the surface and then secretly drug me, right?"

After all, Bai Ming would come over for three meals a day and eat secretly for me. There was nothing I could do. I couldn't chase him away.

"There is no need to lie, because I have already developed a method to cure the artificial stigmata defect in your body."

Before Ji Zi could react, Bai Ming pushed her onto the experimental table.

The equipment here happens to be the same as that in the Tower of Babylon, but its purpose here is to cure Honkai disease and eliminate the pain caused by Honkai energy erosion.

"Hurry up, hurry up, even though I look like I have nothing to do all day, I am actually very busy."

Unlike the standard configuration in the game, Jizi only has one stigma on her back.

Yes, if there were three stigmata, the side effects that Ji Zi would have to endure would be three times greater. She would probably not survive until today and would be buried directly in the ground.

Bai Ming operated according to the blueprint of the stigmata in his memory, repairing and upgrading the defective artificial stigmata in Ji Zi's body.

What's inside her body now is not the green quality [Unknown Stigma], but the blue rare quality [Bai Ming·Research (Part 1)]

Ji Zi was in a daze, and when she came to her senses, the artificial stigmata repair surgery was completed.

The moment the operation was completed, she felt incredible and miraculous changes in her body.

All the discomforts caused by the collapse energy erosion receded like the sea.

The heavy burden on my shoulders seemed to disappear at this moment, and I felt extremely relaxed.

Jizi no longer remembers what it feels like to have a healthy body.

But now, she seemed to remember that familiar feeling again.

Not only that, she felt that her strength seemed to have become stronger. This was not an illusion caused by her body recovering to normal compared to her usual weak state.

This means that when Bai Ming repaired the stigmata, the power of the stigmata was not erased along with the side effects.

It is hard to imagine what kind of results would be achieved if we attack in this manner again.

While she was surprised, Ji Zi was secretly worried. What should she do if this was just her illusion?

I finally found hope, but is it going to disappear again?

She looked at the physical examination report in Bai Ming's hand, feeling a little scared and uneasy.

It’s not because of pessimism, but because the reality is like this, bleak and cold.

The nightmare that has troubled me for many years may end, the artificial stigmata may be repaired, and I may regain a healthy body. Perhaps this can only be achieved in a dream.

Looking at Ji Zi who was immersed in the changes in her body, Bai Ming smiled without saying much and handed over the test report automatically generated by the machine after the operation.
