Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

Chapter 107 Why...why did you abandon Seele?

……

As they got closer to the center of the battle, the surrounding ruins gradually became flat, and the ground was covered with grayish-white mud and ash.

Yun Fuyu and Xier found a wall nearby as cover and observed the surrounding area.

At the heart of the battle, a powerful force raged, likely belonging to a Herrscher. Facing the Herrscher were several warships in the air and a ground force of over a hundred soldiers. Swords, spears, bullets, lasers… all were mixed together, their exact forms indistinguishable.

In addition, a gigantic Honkai Beast was lurking in the air, the same four-winged Honkai Beast that had previously swept over the ruins. It was now surrounded by warships, and despite its enormous size and unparalleled destructive power, it could only remain trapped, frequently letting out defiant roars during its attacks, but it was still unable to break free of its encirclement.

Yes, our side is very strong, and the Herrscher side has not gained the upper hand.

Yun Fuyu, who was constantly thinking about the simulation mission, pondered for a moment, then leaned out to take another look at the Herrscher's battlefield, feeling a bit uneasy. Although the distance made the senses unclear, he was certain that this Herrscher was no weaker than him, and might even be more than twice as strong.

Keep in mind, his power is already at the level of an ordinary Herrscher. Someone twice as strong as him—could they be a replica of one of the later Herrschers?

(Note: This is equivalent to building a big data model to study the power and characteristics of the Herrschers. Theoretically, it's possible, but in reality, it has never been successfully predicted. The Honkai can be made more difficult by human technological advancements; it cannot be predicted or controlled.)

Seeing his serious expression, Seele timidly raised her hand: "Um... shall we find the main group and regroup first?"

Yun Fuyu paused for a moment, then thought about it from Xier's perspective. But that didn't seem like something she would say. The two of them were the best partners; often, there was no need to cooperate with others.

Could there be hidden cameras here that I haven't discovered yet?

He became more vigilant and agreed to Seele's suggestion, heading towards the transport ship that was faintly visible on the ground in the distance.

"..."

"Stop! Don't move, hands up!"

But to everyone's surprise, when they arrived near the transport ship, the soldiers on guard immediately raised their weapons! They looked at Yun hope and the other person with wary and fearful eyes, their fingers pressed tightly against the triggers, as if they would start firing at any moment.

"?"

Yun Fuyu subconsciously took two steps forward, then quickly stopped, raised her hands, and shouted, "We are members of the Fire Moth, and we've become separated from the main force. I belong to..., combat number..."

The lead soldier remained vigilant and questioned, "Where is your combat uniform? And who is the girl behind you?"

Yun Fuyu: "My combat suit was torn to shreds by a Honkai Beast, so I just threw it away. The person behind me is also a member of the Firemoth..."

He turned to look at Seele, who obediently read out her number and waited for the response from the warriors ahead.

The other party was clearly somewhat hesitant, especially after verifying the serial number and photo; he had almost lowered his gun. He hesitated for a moment, then looked up and saw Yun Fuyu carrying many bags and packages. In the end, he lowered his gun and let Yun Xi and the other person approach.

The soldier accompanied them into the transport ship, saying, "Although your identities are not in question, please understand that we cannot trust the two of you. From now on, please stay here and do not wander off anywhere."

Yun Fuyu asked in confusion, "Why?"

His and Seele's identities are simulated. Does this mean there's some hidden storyline in the simulation training room? Did I think it was a hidden quest in a game?

...Okay, although he does treat simulation training like a VR game on a regular basis...

The warrior turned around, his face filled with tension and apprehension, and said, "This Miss Seele looks almost exactly like the Herrscher."

"...??"

Yun Fuyu finally noticed something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Which Herrscher is outside?"

The warrior frowned at him, clearly adopting a wary stance, and said, "The Sixth Herrscher, codenamed the Herrscher of Death. My friend, what exactly is your situation? As a member of the Moth of Flames, you don't even know this basic information?"

"This……"

Yun Fuyu turned back to look at Xier in a daze. She was also looking at him with a puzzled expression, even more puzzled than the warrior.

She... is not Seele. At least, not his Seele.

Is it a mannequin in a simulation? Is May finally going to take action against this suspicious person?

Or is he currently trapped in an illusion, just like when he participated in the fusion surgery?

Cognitive impairment collapses.

Actually, he had already been wondering about it. In his conversation with Seele just now, her words, such as "lost from the main force," "Seele, keep it a secret," and "I will protect Seele," were exactly the same as when they first met.

But Seele's reaction was always a bit strange, not like the "tacit understanding" he had expected, but rather a rather indifferent one.

At first, he thought it was just a coincidence in the simulation, and that Seele's strange reaction was simply because she was still upset that she hadn't confessed her feelings yet.

Later, he guessed that it was May or Möbius's quirky sense of humor that had incorporated his first meeting with Seele into the simulation. Seele's reaction was because she felt embarrassed.

When he suspected that everything around him was a simulation, the power of dreams remained unmoved, because such a special power did not exist in the simulation.

And when he began to doubt that everything around him was an illusion, the power of dreams flowed naturally, guiding him, just as it had always done before—

The person in front of him was not his Seele.

The true presence of Seele is in the center of the battlefield.

"..."

This scene was truly painful to witness. Not long ago, Seele had been attacked in the same way, and he could only stand by helplessly...

Under the watchful eyes of Seele and the other warriors, Yun Fuyu suddenly leaped into the air and, with a speed that no one could react to, shot straight towards the battlefield like a slingshot!

"Be on high alert! Dangerous targets have entered the battlefield!"

The soldier quickly sent a message, then immediately grabbed Seele's shoulder with his large hand, wary of her as if she were a cloud or rain. Only when he saw the girl's pained expression did he loosen his grip slightly, signaling to the other female team members to watch over Seele.

Afterwards, the soldier gathered several teammates and quickly headed towards Yun Fuyu's direction.

Although Seele was a very cute girl, the woman guarding her remained expressionless, her body gripping Seele's shoulders with a force that seemed ready to explode at any moment. Even when the girl anxiously explained, she remained unmoved.

———Seele's Perspective———

Seeing that her explanations were useless, Seele looked around blankly, finally fixing her gaze on the figure heading to the battlefield.

Before leaving, he glanced at Seele apologetically, knowing that his sudden departure would implicate her.

But... why did you abandon Seele?

We finally reunited here...
