The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Afterwards, Kiana and Cecilia went after the Second Herrscher."

"As they passed through a corridor, they saw rows of petri dishes on both sides of the corridor."

"And those in the petri dishes are the very children being used for experiments!"

"Suddenly, like something out of a horror movie, the petri dish shattered with a bang, and girls jumped out one after another."

"There was no emotion in their eyes; they just charged at the two of them like fighting machines!"

"Those children... turned out to be like this."

Cai Zhaoji couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

At their age, they should be growing up happily under the love of their parents.

But now...

"This kind of thing happens in every world." Cai Yong sighed.

…………

"It took the two of them some time to make these children lose the power to resist."

"Is this the fate of the children imprisoned here?"

"Those doctors, in order to strengthen their Houkai resistance, took away their emotions and memories, turning them into puppets whose intelligence obeyed combat orders."

"What's the difference between this and killing them..."

"There was a gloom in Cecilia's eyes."

"Why would an organization like this do something like this when it's supposed to protect humanity?"

"Ms. Cecilia, look!" Kiana suddenly said, pointing to a petri dish. "It says '051 Sirin' here."

“Is this the experimental site where the Second Herrscher was persecuted?”

"Cecilia's expression was complicated."

"Kiana, would you like to hear a few words from me?"

Kiana: "What's wrong, Lady Cecilia?"

“I’ve always had a dream. There are many children in the world who are born with Honkai resistance. I want to build an academy just for them.”

"Whether it's the Valkyries or the children here... they all deserve to grow up like ordinary people, not become victims."

"The tragedy in this tower must never be allowed to happen again."

"So, if possible, would you be willing to help me realize this wish?"

"Cecilia has invited Kiana."

"It's St. Freya's Academy!"

Kiana, realizing what was happening, excitedly said, "Of course, Lady Cecilia! Please allow me to go with you!"

"Haha, that's great. Now we need to think about where to build the academy," Cecilia said cheerfully. "I heard there's a very beautiful island in the far east."

"While discussing enthusiastically, the two of them sped up in pursuit of the Second Herrscher."

"Finally, at the top of the tower, they found the Second Herrscher."

"She looks very weak. It seems the attack just now caused her great damage."

"Don't miss this opportunity, it's time to end it all!"

"Cecilia said this while observing the Second Herrscher's condition."

"Thanks to the two's fierce battle, the Second Herrscher was successfully defeated."

"Rest in peace, Second Herrscher... No, Miss Xilin." Cecilia clutched the Black Abyss White Flower, waiting for the Second Herrscher to dissipate.

"We succeeded! We did it!" Kiana happily threw herself into Cecilia's arms.

"Hehe, you're really like a little kid." Cecilia gently stroked Kiana's head.

"Just as Kiana was enjoying her mother's embrace."

"Theresa's voice came from behind her."

"Kiana, why are you here?"

Kiana turned around and said triumphantly, "Theresa? Haha, you're so slow to come back. Lady Cecilia and I have already taken care of the Second Herrscher."

Theresa was confused. "What are you talking about, Kiana? The Second Herrscher happened many years ago, and... there's no one else here."

“What are you talking about, Theresa? Lady Cecilia is right next to me…”

"Kiana turned around again, but found nothing around her."

"It's as if everything just now was just a dream... No, not as if, it was just a dream!"

"Kiana suddenly remembered, yes, it was clearly just a virtual space."

"My mother's voice, my mother's embrace, my mother's warmth... everything is illusory, like a flower in a mirror, a moon in the water."

"So, this Theresa isn't the Theresa in the virtual space, but the real Theresa?"

Xiao Qiao understood now.

She just said Theresa's reaction was strange.

It turns out that this Theresa is not that Theresa!

"But if that's the case, isn't Kiana pitiful? She had just defeated the enemy with her mother, had just enjoyed her mother's love... and in the blink of an eye, everything was over."

She felt a little sympathy for Kiana. This was too painful!

"Yes, if we had never experienced all this, maybe it would be better." Da Qiao also sighed.

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

But now that you have seen the light, you are driven back into darkness... How cruel it is.

…………

“How did you sneak into this data space? Come back with me, the things here…”

Theresa said as she reached out to grab Kiana.

"But at this moment, a figure fell from the sky."

"That's the squad leader in jet-black armor—Fu Hua!"

"To avoid interfering with our mission, please step aside for now, Principal."

"In a flash, Fu Hua easily subdued the S-rank Valkyrie Judas's Launcher, Theresa."

"Kiana, your mother is not here." Fu Hua turned around and said to Kiana calmly.

"That voice..." Kiana looked Fu Hua up and down: "Squad leader?"

"The person in front of me is completely different from the Fu Hua I see every day!"

“This data space has never had any virtual environments or AI.”

"Everything you've experienced is just your fantasy."

“From the moment you enter this data space, you are frozen in time.”

"It was that Herrscher's trick that made you lose yourself in your dream."

“The Cecilia you seek, the mother you fight so hard to protect… is merely an illusion created by Celine with your own desire.”

"Honest Fu Hua spoke the truth very frankly."

"I didn't even consider whether Kiana could bear this cruel fact."
