Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

"Yes, the school was closed after that incident. I haven't been back since, and seeing it now brings back some memories."

The two arrived at a section of the school wall.

"I never realized it before, but now that I'm here, it would have been really troublesome to climb over this wall if I weren't with you, Xiaoyan."

"The headmaster had raised the walls, but then stopped."

"why?"

"You can choose between feeling useless or being afraid that we'll both get hurt."

"..."

Kiana stared at the top of the wall, lost in thought for a moment.

"Anything on your mind?"

"...To be honest, I should be aware of my background issues. I deliberately chose to selectively forget this part of my memory. And yet, it brought this to everyone..."

"First of all, Kiana can't show that kind of expression."

"Ok?"

"You are Siegfried and Cecilia's daughter, Theresa's niece, and the sister of the girl who survived the ordeal. They just haven't had a chance to say those things yet; there will be plenty of time to ask later."

"...Yes, thank you, Xiaoyan."

"Don't mention it, what's our relationship?"

"However, what does 'surviving a great calamity' mean? — Could it be?!"

Kiana suddenly realized what was happening, her eyes widened, and she looked at Bai Yan in disbelief.

“She’s alive and well, and you’ve met her. She’s more than qualified to teach your unambitious sister a lesson.”

Upon hearing this, Kiana desperately searched her mind for any white-haired woman, but even after racking her brains, she couldn't recall who it was.

Where is she? When did we see her?

"It doesn't seem appropriate for me to tell you. Why don't you go out and find it yourself?"

"Xiao Yan—"

Kiana instinctively grabbed Bai Yan's arm and shook it.

"Alright, alright, then I'll give you a little hint: the essential personality traits of the Kaslana family. Remember to observe them carefully."

She stopped what she was doing and scratched her head.

"Super strong, a bit slow-witted, and can't help but want to save people who are suffering..."

Dominating the theater.

Black Swan had granted Bai Yan permission to monitor the inside of the memory carrier and to project it.

Surrounded by the three people and one soul, Kiana was completely unaware of what was happening and was deep in thought.

Durandal stared intently at her sister, lost in thought.

Volume 1: Chapter 121: Memory, you better shut up!

"Bianca, how much do you think you fit the description?" Bai Yan teased.

"Don't you have any self-awareness at all, talking about me to my face?" Durandal retorted.

"Then hit me."

Durandal ignored him and continued watching the projected image.

Kiana pondered deeply, seemingly with no answer in sight, but she quickly looked up and said, "Forget it, let's change the subject."

"Isn't Kiana curious?" Bai Yan asked in surprise.

“Well,” Kiana looked at Bai Yan, “Although… I didn’t realize it before, but when it’s all over and I look back, I realize that I’m actually very lucky.”

"If I had to say anything about my older sister... actually, Xiao Yan is more like my older sister."

“Uh…” Bai Yan suddenly didn’t know how to answer.

“Even Mei wouldn’t go out with me to play around, but Xiao Yan is always there.”

"Everyone always sees you as a good student, but every time you help me review, I don't feel that Xiaoyan is any different."

"I even had the thought that if I put my mind to it a little, it wouldn't be too difficult to do it."

"It wasn't until later... when I was alone outside, that I realized how difficult it is to understand some things."

"It turns out that what Xiaoyan told me was all processed 'liquid food,' which I couldn't digest at all."

"I don't think even a biological sister could do this, would she?"

Upon hearing these words, Bianca, who was in control of the theater, couldn't help but look at Bai Yan.

Upon seeing this, the latter asked, "Are you jealous?"

Durandal turned her head away: "No, I didn't."

Bai Yan leaned closer and tempted, "If you want to get along well with your sister in the future, I can teach you that trick."

Durandal didn't turn her head: "No need. I have my own ideas, and your methods may not be suitable for me."

Bai Yan said in a surprised tone, "Wow, Lady Durandal's understanding is so profound."

Then he said admiringly, "That's right! A biological sister is already an invincible path, why would you need to borrow a godmother's path?"

Yulandel: "..."

At this point, Xilin couldn't stand it anymore.

She got angrier and angrier the more she looked at it.

I can't stand it anymore! What kind of people are these?!

"You filthy woman, is this really fun? Is this really fun? What are you trying to do?! You bastard?!"

"The entire Domination Theater is in turmoil, dragging so many people into this, all for this stupid little girl?"

Bai Yan remained calm, stroked the feather, and comforted her, "The only one who was truly dragged into this is you. After all, we are all Kiana's friends and family, and we were just setting up a scheme to help her grow. As for you, my queen, you are the real villain."

"..."

Celine was starting to feel like she didn't want to live anymore.

But now she is forced to live, and at this moment she understands the meaning of "living is worse than dying".

Some people died years ago and still haven't been buried.

They might even be forced to live a second life.

“But none of that matters. Based on the principle of boundless love, I believe you can clear your name. Even if the father and his two daughters don’t accept you, I am willing to accept you.”

"Ha, nobody would believe you!"

"I suggest you rephrase your words."

"Threatening me? Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

"No, I'm not threatening you, I'm just suggesting you think it over carefully."

At this moment, Rita kindly reminded her in a soft voice, "Miss Sirin, you are not fundamentally different from a soul state right now."

Bai Yan then said, "Did you understand, my lovely little ghost girl?"

The pufferfish flew into a rage, spewing profanities, and even the feathers that carried its consciousness seemed to grow several sizes larger.

Rita suppressed a laugh and reminded Bai Yan, "Xiao Yan, could it be that from the very beginning, the Thousand-Man Herrscher was you?"

"No, I was indeed tricked by the Thousand-Man Herrscher, but it didn't expect me to hide my strength, so I managed to kill it—what happened?"

"No, it's nothing."

The pufferfish suddenly stopped its fussing, listened intently to Rita's words, and then began to think.

A moment later, she suddenly burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Little ghost, what are you laughing at?"

"Me? I remembered something happy."

"You must acknowledge Kiana as your older sister and practice cooking etiquette for her."

"Ghosts—only an idiot would recognize that! And what is a cooking ceremony?"

"Cook her a meal to show goodwill, and let bygones be bygones."

"Delusion! Besides, don't you think you're a perfect match for someone like the Thousand-Man Herrscher?"

"..." Bai Yan suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Hey, you didn't really have a really repressed life before, did you? Otherwise, how could you have been recognized by the core of the Herrschers? By the way, after talking to me for so long, where are your parents? And in which organization were they, and they dumped all the dirty and hard work on you?"

"...Pufferfish, you son of a bitch!"

"Oh dear, could it be that I guessed right?"

“Xiao Yan’s parents,” Rita suddenly spoke, her tone steady, “both perished in the Second Honkai Impact.”

Bai Yan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Xilin suddenly fell silent.

Durandal was still focused on the screen, ignoring the battle on this side.

After what seemed like an eternity, Sirin finally mustered the courage to speak: "Why didn't you get rid of me?"

"Don't think about those things, you're not the one in the wrong."

"Who else could it be but me?!"

For some reason, Xilin became very angry and suddenly raised her voice.

"Otto."

"Who does he think he is! I did all the work! What ability does he have?!"

"You really think you're Sirin?"

"Heh, I still have that much composure. To inherit memories and power is to inherit everything from the past. This queen has only lost once, not broken down."

Bai Yan laughed: "You've learned a lot from Kiana."

"You—what do you want from me staying here?"

"Keep it to play with."

"...Fine, whatever."

Durandal seemed to have grown tired of their bickering and suddenly said, "Quiet down, look!"

Bai Yan was a little stunned: What are you looking at? I know everything the memory knows, why don't you ask me?

But he still turned his attention to it.

Memory space.

"Don't let that person hear this," Bai Yan said with a smile, "otherwise she'll probably be taking this matter very seriously for a while until she hears the same level of praise from you."

"So this is the kind of person he is? He's really... hard to handle..."

Kiana scratched her head, seemingly having developed a special understanding of someone.

"But I'm clearly just an artificial being, and now I'm using her name. Won't she mind?"

“She probably doesn’t care now, after all, she has already made her own way. And—” Bai Yan hesitated.

"And what?"

Bai Yan hesitated for a moment, then a sly smile appeared on her lips, and a glint flashed in her eyes.

“You don’t need to see your birth as Otto’s ambition or an accident. Your sister gave you a name as a gift, which is actually worthy of Kaslana’s bloodline.”

"What do you mean?"
