Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

As the world returned to normal, everything in front of Siegfried began to flow again. Looking at the people coming and going in the store, Siegfried rubbed his head.

"Was that... a nightmare? It seems that I am under too much pressure at work..." Siegfried touched the back of his head and returned to the place where the two of them were choosing clothes. At this time, Xilin had changed into a red long dress.

"How about this one?" Seeing her smug expression, Cecilia smiled with her teeth showing:

"You look good. You are worthy of being my daughter. You look good in any clothes. I bought this one too... My dear, you are here. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Cecilia noticed something was wrong with her husband at first sight.

"I'm fine." Siegfried forced a smile.

"You must be under a lot of pressure recently. Don't push yourself." Cecilia said as she passed the half-drunk drink in her hand to his mouth. Siegfried took a sip from the straw, and the cool taste immediately swept away his mental fatigue.

The three of them came to a pet shop. The orange cat at the door attracted Xilin's attention. She squatted on the round platform and didn't move. Even if someone came to pet her, she didn't care. Instead, she looked like she was enjoying it.

As it happened, when Xilin arrived at this pet shop, the person who was petting the cat in front of her lost interest after petting the cat for a while and left. Fat Orange looked at Xilin and meowed at her.

"Xilin, it's very well behaved. Do you want to try to touch it?" Cecilia saw Xilin's little thoughts and waved to her.

Xilin's cheeks felt slightly hot. She took small steps to the side of Fat Orange and began to caress its body with her hands, unable to hold back any longer. The soft touch immediately made her fall for it and also awakened her past memories.

She remembered that she had touched something like this before.

"Bella... yes... Bella..."

These two words flashed through Xilin's mind, and the memories about her suddenly flooded into her mind, but it was not Benares, but the real Bella.

"I... my name is Bella." On the first day at the Tower of Babylon, the gray-haired little girl took the initiative to extend her hand to Xilin and smiled sweetly.

"Hello...Hello, my name is Xilin." Facing this strange girl of the same age as herself, Xilin hesitated for a moment and then held her hand.

"Xilin, what a nice name. Were you also brought here by the people of destiny?"

Looking at her harmless smile, Xilin nodded.

"Then we are friends. I am from Cologne, and you?"

When the two met for the first time, they immediately hit it off and quickly became familiar with each other. However, at that time, they did not know what was waiting for them.

---

"Number 44." The researcher shouted expressionlessly, and then grabbed Bella out.

"Ah, Bella!" Xilin immediately hugged the researcher's left leg, but how could a little girl be a match for an adult man? The researcher kicked her back with his right foot.

After Xilin got up, she forgot the pain in her body and rushed out as fast as she could, but the iron door was still closed. She desperately slapped the iron window, but in return, Bella only shook her head in despair. The researcher didn't even want to look at her.

Just then, another researcher came over, holding a syringe full of liquid in his right hand and a strange experimental device in his left hand.

"right here?"

"It's fine here. It's convenient to handle."

The researcher in front nodded, then pushed Bella to the ground, and the researcher behind her fixed the strange device on Bella's body.

"don't want,"

"No."

"don't want!!!"

Faced with the screams of this girl who looked only 13 or 14 years old, the researcher's expression did not even change. He pulled Bella's arm over with his left hand, and without any other treatment, the syringe in his left hand accurately inserted into her vein, and then quickly pushed the liquid in.

Although she had never been to school, Xilin knew clearly that the syringe contained pure Honkai energy.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Bella's shrill screams echoed throughout the space. Xilin turned her back, covered her ears and squatted down. As someone who had experienced the whole process more than once, she knew that this was just the beginning.

"Heart rate: 113"

"xxx:867"

……

Looking at Bella with a distorted face, the researcher recorded the data calmly, like a cold machine.

After an unknown amount of time, the experiment was over. The researcher looked at the data he had recorded and shook his head in disappointment: "It still didn't meet the requirements. Unfortunately, this experimental subject can no longer be used in the next experiment. I'm so unlucky. Every time I pick an experimental subject, it's garbage. Oh, it's hard to write an experimental report..."

The iron door opened again, and Bella was thrown in like trash. Xilin ignored the researcher who looked disgusted, and threw herself on Bella like a madman.

"Bella, how are you, Bella, Bella." Xilin shook for a long time, but Bella was unable to cry and vent her pain to herself like before. Instead, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xilin was full of relief, gentleness and liberation.

---

"Bella, when do you think this will end?"

"Xilin, I believe that one day, we will leave here together."

"You are not allowed to lie to me. If you run away alone...you..." Xilin thought for a long time but couldn't make up her mind to say anything harsh.

"How could that be? Xilin is my best friend, how could I lie to you? How about we make a pinky promise?"

The two little girls, keeping each other warm in the cold prison, stretched out their little fingers at the same time.

"Let's make a promise. We will hang ourselves for a hundred years. No change."

---

"Bella, you clearly said that when we leave here, you will open a flower shop next to my clothing store so that we can see each other every day."

Bella looked at Xilin tenderly and said nothing more.

In the illusion, with the impact of this unforgettable memory, Xilin remembered everything.

"They are not my parents. My mother died a long time ago. They, like those researchers, belong to the Fate of Heaven... All those who belong to the Fate of Heaven deserve to die!"

A powerful force burst out from Celine, knocking both Cecilia and Siegfried to the ground.

"Crash." The glass shattered, and the chandelier on the ceiling shook a few times, and then fell right on Xilin's head. She wanted to activate the power of the Herrscher of the Void to teleport herself away, but found that she could not use the power of the Herrscher.

Cecilia quickly stood up, grabbed Celine and threw her to the ground, and the chandelier fell on her back.

"Don't be afraid, Xilin. Mom will protect you no matter what. Lch liebe dich."

"You!" This was the second time that Xilin was hugged by someone after many years. Unlike Enosia, Xilin actually found the feeling of her former mother in Cecilia.

"She is clearly the Valkyrie of destiny, why... I..." Two lines of hot tears flowed down her face, Xilin gave up struggling, and lay peacefully in Cecilia's arms.

At this moment, a black fog came from nowhere, gradually swallowing up the entire world until it was completely swallowed up. Cecilia always protected Xilin behind her.

When the whole world disappeared, the three people regained all their memories and found that there were two more people in front of them, namely Enosia and Walter.

"I tried to use the power of the Herrscher of Erosion to pollute this dream, but I didn't expect to succeed on the first try. The Herrscher of Meteoric Ice's move was really vicious, to the point of letting you dream online." Enosiya briefly introduced the information she knew.

"Is this illusion the ability of the Ice Ruler? Is the condition for passing the level the death of the person I want to see the most?" Siegfried opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock.

"The terrifying recovery ability, realistic illusions, and the previous swallowing of the Key of God should definitely not be the power of the Ice Ruler. The reason is still unknown." Enosiya shook her head unwillingly.

"Wait, you mean..."

"Yes, the result of the linked dream is that the three people you want to see the most are actually real. Without external interference, only one of you can survive."

The information that Lao Yang got was that if he died in a dream, his real self would also be brain dead. This was the result of his analysis of the clues in the illusion and Joyce's illusion. Like Alicia's illusion, Joyce's illusion also chose to actively erase its own existence in the end, allowing Lao Yang to wake up.

"Fortunately, the situation I was most worried about did not happen, that is, the three of you realized at the same time that this was an illusion. As Miss Cecilia was awake from beginning to end, she should not have discovered that Mr. Siegfried and Celine were real people."

Cecilia shook her head slightly. "No, I thought they were just overly realistic illusions."

At this time, Xilin, who had been silent all the time, spoke up: "Why, since you knew from the beginning that I was not your daughter, why did you treat me like this!"

"Sirin, lch liebe dich, that's all."
