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

Chapter 439 Vita

"……Feel sorry."

"Well... Indeed, for you, I have been away from Tianming for a long time. It is understandable that you have not heard of my name. However, you must have heard of the name of the legendary team I am in, the Snow Wolf Squad, right?"

"........."

"...Wait, Snow Wolf Squad? You were a member of Lady Cecilia's team? I remember the Snow Wolf Squad was in the second collapse... You... You are Shigure Kirara-senpai?! I, I, I actually met such a powerful senior Valkyrie! Am I really not dreaming?... It's a dream!... Isn't it?"

Seeing Susanna's eyes suddenly become starry, this experienced A-class Valkyrie couldn't help but take a step back.

"What, what happened? Calm down..."

"This is the first time I've seen a legendary Valkyrie like you! Can you let me get a closer look at your heroic figure, Shigure Kirara-senpai?"

"Uh... "Pay homage"? Ah, wait... why is this kid suddenly..."

"To be honest, I am now a member of the Immortal Blade Team. Lady Rita and Lady Cheng Lixue have told us a lot about your deeds. I will always remember the glorious history of Senior Qi Luo and never forget it!"

(Immortal Blade... Bianca, is your vision in selecting team members really okay...)

After that, Susanna, who finally calmed down, and Seele told Shigure Kirara about what happened in the Eigenworld...

"I didn't expect that during this period of time, in addition to crossing the end, so many things have happened in the original world... Fortunately, everything has been resolved. So, are you commissioned by Bishop Theresa to come and investigate this world bubble?"

"Well... that's true... this matter... is a bit complicated to explain. We are indeed still on a mission; however, our appearance here was an accident."

"You didn't fall in here accidentally, did you?"

“That’s not wrong…”

"?"

The two told Shigure Kirara about their journey to the World Bubble and the disappearance of their companions.

"It's really a tortuous and bizarre experience... Did you see the city below the giant tower? That's the main city of the Salt and Snow Holy City. It has well-developed transportation and convenient communications. If your companions are still in this world, it should be easier to get news about her there."

"Look, Senior Qiluo also said so. So, cheer up, Xier! We will definitely find her. After all, you two are... you have a telepathic connection."

"Yeah. Thank you, Susanna. You're right, I should believe her, and believe in ourselves."

"Yeah, that's right. Although I don't know the previous experiences of you three... but in many cases, the trust and tacit understanding of the team are far more important than individual ability."

Seele briefly described the appearance of her other self, omitting other information. Although she was not good at lying, with Susanna's cooperation, Shigure Kirara readily "accepted" the fact that she and her twin sister shared the same name.

The three of them walked towards the Salt and Snow Holy City. Under their feet was soft snow like fine sand, and on both sides of their heads were rows of wooden houses. After passing through a country road covered with "white snow", a peaceful and tranquil "Snow Town" appeared before the girls.

"Except for that amazing giant tower, it is not much different from the original world."

"Let's first ask the residents here about the situation."

"Yeah. Although this is my second time here, I didn't have a good chance to chat with you guys before."

However, after some inquiries, she still could not get any information about the other Xi'er. But Xi'er obviously did not intend to give up. Her next target was the hotel ahead.

"Hello, have you seen a young girl? She looks like me, wearing a black dress."

The innkeeper shook his head blankly:

"I haven't seen him... How about this, I'll keep an eye out for you. If the person you're looking for comes to stay at my place, I'll definitely let you know."

"Really, thank you so much!"

"Okay, okay. ... Let me digress. Have you found a place to stay? My place is conveniently located and the neighbors are friendly... Well, I don't know where the girl next door ran off to. But don't worry, there are no bad people on this street. It's almost time to go to bed, why don't you stay at my place? If you can't find a place to stay after closing time, that might not be a good thing, right?"

Shigure Qiluo looked up, the sun was still bright.

"The boss is really good at doing business. It's still early in the morning since it's so bright."

"Haha, you are joking, sir. Although I have only recently started this business based on the revelation of the sage, I am not likely to get the time wrong. Xiaozhu, what time is it now?"

Suddenly, an emotionless voice sounded beside the innkeeper, and then a transparent light screen appeared in front of several people.

[It is now 22:16 in the Holy City, please take a rest and do not stay up late. ]

"Strange, is it so late already? It's not even dark yet."

"This guest is such a joker. Is there any other color in the sky?"

"?"

In the end, the group politely declined the boss' invitation to stay.

"I never thought that this is a world of eternal daylight. No wonder there are so few people on the street even though it's bright and sunny. But hasn't Senior Qiluo been here before? When you came here before, didn't you notice that there is no night here?"

"...That's true. Something unexpected happened last time, so I didn't stay in this world for long."

"Less than a whole day?"

"...less than an hour... cough cough. However, since this is a world without distinction between day and night, why is their concept of time exactly the same as that of the Eigenworld?"

"It was 22:16 in the Holy City time, which is also the night in their concept - but since the sky here never changes, how can they accurately define what is "0 o'clock" and what is "12 o'clock"? "

"...Really! In the real world, we can accurately define the time like "12 o'clock" by measuring the height of the sun in the sky - but what can they rely on?

In this way, it is too strange that their usual timekeeping method is exactly the same as ours. And that thing called "Xiaozhu", it must be artificial intelligence, right? Seeing artificial intelligence in such an old city is even stranger than seeing a living alien..."

"As for aliens, maybe they really exist. After all, this is a bubble world, and we will always encounter some things that don't make sense."

Suddenly, a vague and noisy sound came from afar. Some of the residents who were wandering around the Salt and Snow Holy City like the three of them ran away as if they were escaping for their lives. Behind them was the Quantum Shadow and a monster that the three of them had never seen before.

"Look, the slowest girl is about to be caught up by the Quantum Shadow!"

"Hurry, saving lives is important!"

At the critical moment, Shigure Kirara's bullet froze the Quantum Shadow in place. Seele and Susanna engaged in close combat, and after killing most of the monsters, the remaining monsters automatically retreated to the distance.

"Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt..."

"Amazing! I haven't seen such an amazing person in a long time! Don't worry. Thanks to your timely arrival, I'm fine."

Before Xi'er could react, the woman in front of her had already looked her up and down like a butterfly flying through flowers. Her performative tone surprised Xi'er.

"Oh, sorry, it's so rare to see such a perfect girl. I was almost stunned just now. I couldn't bear to take my eyes away. Anyway, thank you for saving me. My name is Vita, which means "Wei" for teeth to gently bite lips and "Ta" for the tip of tongue to gently flick teeth."
