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

Chapter 438 Salt and Snow Holy City

"La la la la la la la la……"

Hearing the [heart-wrenching] [singing] coming from behind the door, Susanna subconsciously took a step back.

"Wow...Xier...I hope we didn't touch anything we shouldn't touch. Why is there a sonic weapon behind the door?"

"Hmm... Susanna, I think... that's definitely not a sonic weapon. It should be someone singing behind the door, but... um... there is a lot of room for improvement."

At this moment, the [singing] behind the door turned into a human voice:

"Hey, what's that? Look carefully. I'm giving you a hint. This is the ability to manipulate musical notes - it can project the sound to a far distance and turn it into text; it can also determine your approximate location through the intervals between the sound waves being transmitted back.

"Oh~ Just like a bat..."

"Don't say it looks like a bat!"

"You said it first, doesn't that prove that you feel the same way..."

"Ahem, anyway, as long as you follow the instructions transformed from the notes, you can find the "light salt" and open the door."

"Light salt?"

"To be precise, it is a crystalline substance within this world bubble that can remove the seal on this gate."

Xier immediately caught the key words from her words.

"Wait a minute... What you just said was, 'This world is a bubble'?"

"What's the problem? I am a drifter in the quantum ocean after all. Is it strange to know that this is a bubble world?"

"The Drifter of the Quantum Sea? May I ask your name?"

"Ah? Well... I don't mind telling you, but I'd better wait until you open the door! Think about it, even if I tell you my name now, you won't be able to see my face - that would be weird, wouldn't it?"

"I feel like... he's a very particular person! But we should still try to ask as many questions as possible at once.)

"Sorry, Miss Behind the Door! Although we would like to help you, we have urgent matters to attend to..."

"Yes, we still have to look for our companion. She must not have gone far!"

"...Companions? Well, let me help you first. When did you get separated from your companions?"

"About ten to twenty minutes ago...we had just entered this bubble, so the exact time is a little difficult to estimate."

"Then we can first rule out the possibility that she passed through this door - because I have been behind this door for more than an hour, and the door has been closed the entire time. Moreover, this gate is the only exit from the border village, which means that your companions must still be somewhere in the village."

"So that's how it is... This is really important information, Xier!"

"Yes! Thank you very much for your help!"

"Then let's go find her!"

"Hey, wait. Since you're going to the village, why not bring some Light Salt with you? When you find your companions and want to leave here, you'll still need to open this door - and the information I provided also helped you, didn't it?"

Yes, you are right. However, we don’t know where these “light salts” are located, nor do we know what they look like.

"That's easy. Once you get to the village, just pay attention to my 'hints'."

"You'll understand when you see it. Now, go quickly - your companions should be anxious too, right?"

"Well... let's go!"

Following the instructions of the musical notes, the two quickly found Guangyan in the village, but... even though they had searched the entire village inside and out several times, there was still no sign of Heixi.

"We have searched everywhere here, and Xi'er... is definitely not in this border village. But we have also confirmed that the reason why I entered this world was not a coincidence, but the result of someone's deliberate action.

Then the reason Seele didn't stay with us was probably due to this person's pre-arrangement. But...assuming that the other person was Yutu...why would she do this?

Ultimately, if we want to solve the mystery, we still have to figure out the other party's purpose. And this world must have some characteristics related to me or to the other party. Understanding this world is the first step for us to understand the situation behind the scenes, which is also the first step to find Xi'er. "

"That makes sense... and our previous guess is still valid. Another Xi'er might be somewhere in this bubble of a world. It's just that for some special reason, we can't contact each other yet!"

"Well! Come on, let's go open that door first."

Xier put the light salt on the pedestal in front of the door. After being reflected by the sunlight, the pattern on the door disappeared in an instant. Susanna pushed the door again, and the door opened at once. In front of them, the blue-haired girl was waving to them enthusiastically.

In the distance, there is a magnificent tower. Even though Xier has had many experiences of entering and exiting the world bubble, this is the first time she has seen such a sight.

"Welcome to... the Holy City of Salt and Snow!"

"The Holy City of Salt and Snow...?"

"Well, it's a very appropriate name, right? This is the first time I've seen such a magical building. It's like a special effect in a movie. Are we dreaming?"

"Haha, this is the fun of the World Bubble. No matter how bizarre, abnormal, or contrary to common sense the scene is, in the World Bubble, it may just be the most common basic rules. So, Susanna, we just need to enjoy the scenery in front of us and confirm its unique rules."

"Oh...huh? Wait, you...you know my name?"

"Don't be nervous, this is really the first time we meet. As for your names... Didn't you call each other by name while searching for the "Light Salt"? But before that, Bianca did mention the two names [Seele] and [Susanna] to me, so now the names and faces match up."

"Bianca...you...you...you...you know Lord Yulandel?!"

"Well, after all, I was also a Valkyrie of destiny. After hearing this, perhaps you have guessed my name, but you are still not sure, right? Then... let me tell you a story to awaken your memory."

"That was a past filled with smoke, blood and tears... Many years ago, Tianming established a special action team to deal with the extremely dangerous Honkai crisis. The team members gathered the most outstanding Valkyries at the time, and they could be said to be the elite among the elite."

"Among them, there is an A-rank Valkyrie who may not be worthy of her name. She has mediocre talent and can only barely keep up with everyone else...but she is also very proud to be able to fight alongside her idol."

"Well……"

"In a battle against a large-scale Houkai, she encountered an extremely powerful opponent. Under the powerful enemy attack, she and one of her partners were caught in a tough battle. In order to buy a chance for their companions, they fought desperately, not hesitating to die together with the enemy in front of them..."

"But surprisingly, with the help of an alien civilization, this Valkyrie managed to survive. She settled in a certain world bubble for a while and even became a local idol..."

"…Idol? The kind of idol we know? On stage?"

"Why, isn't this a piece of cake for a Valkyrie?"

(It’s not easy to be a Valkyrie…)

Later… ahem, anyway, after going through this and that, she set out on her journey again, becoming a wanderer in the Quantum Sea, and met two reliable Valkyrie descendants in a world that seemed to be covered in snow.

After hearing this story, you must have guessed...wait, look at this reaction...don’t you know me?
