Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

As soon as Kiana got out of bed, she immediately got off, but her body began to sway uncontrollably, and she collapsed to the ground the next second.

"Hey, Kiana, you're awake?" Menmo, who was sitting to the side with his hands tied to a chair, chuckled.

"Brother Mo? Where is this...? How did we get here? Why do I have no strength at all?" Kiana said weakly, holding her head.

"This is a long story..." Men Mo said with a smile.

"Don't worry, young lady, this feeling of powerlessness is only temporary," said the old man sitting in front of Kiana.

"I injected you with a medicine that can neutralize your Honkai energy and repair the body tissues damaged by it. As long as you continue to inject this medicine, the Honkai energy in your body will be cleared, and you can turn back into an ordinary girl," the old man said.

"Nutrite the Honkai energy... and turn back into a normal girl?! But then, won't I be unable to fight the Honkai?" Kiana said.

"Fight the Honkai? Why should you girls fight the Honkai! I have been following Otto's orders for over 40 years, transforming countless girls into Valkyries and sending them to the battlefield. They sacrificed themselves one by one, and in the end, even my granddaughter died in front of me!" the old man roared.

“Idiot…” Men Mo suddenly said.

"What did you say?!"

"Are you stupid?! For a Valkyrie, the best fate is to die on the battlefield, not to become an ordinary girl who can't do anything! As for why we send girls to the battlefield, it's because women are more adaptable to Honkai energy than men! And I believe their wish is to protect their homeland and drive the Honkai away forever! This is also... our wish..." Menmo said in a low voice.

"And I forgot to tell you... your potion is completely useless to me," Menmo said.

"what?!"

“We are Kamen Riders, and although we have never had Honkai energy in our bodies, we can effectively utilize it. We are all mutated, either inside or outside our bodies,” Menmo said.

Then he pulled the rope to both sides, and it broke. Then Menmo stood up and looked down at the old man: "You think you can trap me with just a rope and a potion? You underestimate me."

Meanwhile, on Zhang Qing and Fu Hua's side—

Zhang Qing and Fu Hua stood to the side watching Siegfried drink.

"Wow, this is delicious! I really want to thank your friend for giving me such a good wine," Siegfried said.

"Is this Siegfried Kaslana? She's just as bold and unrestrained as I saw in the game," Zhang Qing thought to himself.

“No need. I bet she’s thanking you right now for not tearing her tavern down,” Fu Hua replied.

"So why did you suddenly appear here, Siegfried Kaslana?" Fu Hua asked, looking at Siegfried.

Then, after closing her eyes briefly and opening them again, she looked at Siegfried and said, "As one of the four targets personally wanted by Bishop Otto, your head is quite valuable." Fu Hua said.

"Haha, are you planning to take me back, beautiful lady?" Siegfried said with a laugh.

“You went missing four years ago. Some intelligence said you were dead. Others said you were seriously injured and lost half of your body… Your combat power was greatly reduced, which is why you had to go into hiding,” Fu Hua said.

But after looking at Siegfried's unharmed body, Fu Hua said again, "I'm curious, you did indeed unleash the Heavenly Flame, but... how come you were completely unharmed?"

“That’s because of a young man… He not only saved my wife, but a man in black also appeared at that time… He restored my body… Cecilia said that the young man who saved my wife was a silver-haired, golden-eyed boy… Where is that boy? I have to thank him properly,” Siegfried said.

“That…the boy you mentioned…I know who he is…” Zhang Qing said.

"Huh? You know? Where is he now?" Siegfried asked.

“My name is Zhang Qing. The boy you mentioned is my third brother, Long Qiao. He is now…now he is…dead…” Zhang Qing said sadly.

"I see... That's such a pity, such a promising young man has passed away..." Siegfried said regretfully.

“Right, now… it’s time we got down to business. Where should we begin? Well, let’s start with Cocolia’s plan—” Siegfried said.

--------------

“Indeed, according to what you said, everything makes sense. No wonder Bishop Otto adopted such a laissez-faire attitude,” Fu Hua said.

“Compared to the organization, that bastard Otto is actually hoping that Cocolia’s plan will be executed smoothly, even if it means sacrificing countless lives!” Zhang Qing said.

“Yes, so if you want to save those innocent people, take this metal box.” Siegfried said to the two of them, taking out a small metal box.

"The contents of the box can neutralize the Honkai energy reaction triggered by the gems," Siegfried said, tossing the metal box to Fu Hua.

"How did you know about Cocolia's plan? And where did you get this box from?" Fu Hua asked Qigefei as she took the metal box.

“I happen to have a few friends in Anti-Entropy, and they happen to be quite unhappy with Cocolia’s actions. It’s not convenient for me to act, so I’m leaving everything to you,” Siegfried said.

"Wait, I have a question!" Zhang Qing suddenly said.

"Why would you ask us to do something like this? Do you trust us that much?" Zhang Qing asked.

“I’ve actually been secretly watching your actions all along, your every move, Long Qiao’s and Men Mo’s,” Siegfried said.

“Just now in the tavern, you two and Menmo insisted on rescuing my daughter Kiana, so I believe you must be a group of kind Valkyries, right? Kamen Rider Ryuki? I believe you will make the right choice.” Siegfried finished speaking, waved to the two of them, and walked away.

"To come up with such a casual excuse, truly worthy of being Kiana's father," Fu Hua said, twitching her eye.

"Damn, my identity has been exposed. Looks like I'll have to change my identity. Time to get out of here."
