Bronya and Seele searched the hillside, but not only did they not see Father Otto, they didn't even see many enemies.

"It's the end. It seems that the priest has never been here. Let's go back."

Stepping on the snow, Bronya kept thinking about what Theresa said.

The sunshine wine fell on the pure white ground. She seemed to see the scene of her first meeting with Cocolia seven years ago.

That memory that she could not let go of has now become her painful shackles.

Things that are hard to let go... It's the same for Bronya...

The considerate Seele noticed that Bronya's expression was a little heavy, and asked carefully:"Sister Bronya, are you okay? You seem to have something on your mind since just now.……"

"Xier...I……"

Bronya's words were stuck in her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak to her.

As if she noticed this, Seele gently held her hand.

"Will this make me feel better? In the past, when I was scared, Sister Bronya would hold my hand like this. Sister's hands were warm, and Seele was no longer afraid."

"Xier……"

"If it is painful, don't think about it. Seele will always be with sister Bronya, just like sister Bronya used to be with Seele."

【"Xi'er is such a caring little sister. It seems like I want to make friends with Xi'er and give her a hug!"——Honkai Impact 3: Kiana (K423)】

【"Stupid Kiana, Bronya will never allow you to get within thirty meters of Seele!"——Honkai Impact 3: Bronya】

【"Didn't you realize that Bronya also had something difficult to let go?"——Honkai Impact 3: Theresa】

【"It seems that my three students all have different psychological problems. It seems that our St. Freya Academy should open a psychological counseling room or something like that and invite some psychologists to give guidance to these problem girls?"——Honkai Impact 3: Infinite Tower Himeko】

【"It's a good idea. Let's do it when the funding for next month arrives! Jizi, do you know a reliable psychologist?"——Honkai Impact 3: Theresa.

In the quantum sea, Seele looked at the man in front of her who seemed to be as cold as ice. He did not have the slightest hostility, but just sitting in front of her, she felt like she was sitting next to a nuclear bomb that was about to explode.

"Sir, who are you?……"

The man didn't speak. His azure eyes looked at the light screen in front of him. There were bullet comments and some very familiar people on it. The man showed a nostalgic expression.

Hei Xier was tense and focused all his attention, ready to control Xier to escape at any time.

In the video.

After Xier's thoughtful care for her, Bronya smiled:"Thank you, Xier. It's just a little confused, but Bronya has decided to face it."

Bronya turned around and walked in the direction she came from. Xier looked at her back, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"Well done, Xier... We are getting closer and closer to our goal.……"

A voice that was exactly the same as Xi'er's, but full of madness, rang out.

"Is it really right to do this...?"

"It's okay Seele... Everything we did was to get out of here! Get out of here with Sister Bronya!"

"……Xier understands."

【"There's a problem, there's a problem here, something is wrong with Xier!"——Honkai Impact 3: Kiana (K423)】

【"The other voice should be from Xi'er with red pupils. They seem to get along very well, I'm so envious... Are they planning something in secret?"——Honkai Impact 3rd: Raiden Mei】

【"No matter what, Bronya believes Seele will not hurt Bronya. 々!"——Honkai Impact 3: Bronya】

【"Sister Bronya... and another me……"——Honkai Impact 3: Seele. 】

In the video, the two people with different thoughts walked back to the place where they split up.

"This is where we separated. Theresa should be heading towards the road on the other side of the hill.……"

""Father! Father!" a hurried voice rang out.

"It was Theresa's voice. What happened? She sounded so anxious!"

"Let's hurry over there!"

The two of them sped up and quickly arrived at Theresa's location.

On the snowy plain, the biting cold wind whistled past. Father Otto lay dying on the ground, his eyes closed. There were some purple-red stripes on his face, hands, and neck. Bronya and Seele knew that this was a symptom of being eroded by Honkai energy.

If the priest did not receive appropriate treatment, he might not live long.

Theresa hugged the priest and shook him anxiously, tears falling down her face.

"Father... please, wake up!"

"What happened...why did the priest fall to the ground?……"

Bronya and Seele, who rushed here, both showed surprised expressions.

"……He fainted. The temperature here is so low. We have to send him back to the orphanage quickly."

At this time, a large number of Honkai beasts suddenly appeared around. Bronya quickly covered Theresa and Seele. Theresa carried the priest on her back and ran towards the orphanage.

Bronya opened fire. The fierce flames and explosions killed the Honkai beasts, but more and more Honkai beasts surrounded them. Bronya fought and retreated, preparing to lead the Honkai beasts to other directions.

Suddenly, the Honkai beasts stopped moving.

Then, as if controlled by something, they turned around slowly and returned to the depths of the snowfield.

Bronya held her breath and concentrated. She felt that the strange feeling in the air was getting stronger and stronger.

In the firelight, a crimson feather fell, and the Red Kite Immortal bathed in flames appeared in front of Bronya.

"Squad leader... No, you are the Eighth God Key, Yu Duchen……"

"Bronya……"

Yu Duchen, who was in the image of the Red Kite Immortal, suddenly called out Bronya's name.

Bronya was shocked. Could it be that there was also a Bronya in this world?

"How... do you know Bronya's name?"

"There are traces of"feathers" on your body. It allows you to see me and also lets me know some of your intelligence. It's really surprising that although you exist in everyone's memory, you don't belong to this world. I am one of the three thousand feathers left by Yu Duchen, and I appeared here because I sensed the man's protective intention."

"Have you been protecting the orphanage from Honkai beasts? Why does the priest have Yu Duchen's feather?"

"He had done a favor to Yu Duchen's master, and in return, she left a feather in his heart. He brought me here. All along, I have followed his will to protect this snowfield. But now, his time is up, and my power will also come to an end with his spirit."

Hearing Yu Duchen's words, Bronya was not surprised, because the symptoms of the priest's Honkai energy erosion had reached the point where he was beyond help. Unless the potion that Teacher Ji Zi injected into Kiana's body could be used now, otherwise, the priest would not live until the next full moon.

"Yes, but he still has concerns and nostalgia. But what binds him the most is the void in his heart. That man wants to entrust me to another person, someone he recognizes, and pass on my power. However, there is an unbridgeable gap between him and that person."

"It was Joachim... As expected, the priest didn't want him to leave like this. If Joachim just left, both of them would carry this knot in their hearts forever."

"This is not just their problem, it's your problem too."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Bronya, you came here to seek answers, but what you really want is not the answers of others. It is your own answer. This is also the reason why you chose to jump into the Eye of the Abyss at that moment."

Bronya was silent. The story of Father Otto and Joachim is so similar to her story with Cocolia.

"If you want to know the answer, just keep moving forward. One day, you will walk out of the past and find your own way."

The familiar figure dissipated in the light, leaving only the voice echoing in the snow.

A few feathers accompanied her last words and quietly disappeared in the snow.

This conversation not only made Bronya in the picture fall into deep thought, but also made Bronya outside the picture fall into thought.

Although the current Bronya has not experienced as much as the future Bronya, she is Bronya after all, and Yu Duchen's words also caused a great impact on her.

【"Does Yu Duchen exist in every parallel world? This is too amazing!"——Honkai Impact 3: Tesla】

【"The monitor is so amazing. He also looks like a hermit in other worlds."——Honkai Impact 3: Kiana (K423)】

【"How did Otto from another world do a favor to the Red Kite Immortal? Could it be that the Red Kite Immortal from another world also accepted seven beastly apprentices?"——Honkai Impact 3: Infinite Tower Himeko.

In the video, after a flurry of first aid, the priest opened his weak eyes.

"Theresa... I... I am……"

"Father, you're awake!"

Teresa, who had been guarding the priest, jumped up and quickly took the kettle off the bonfire. She mixed a bowl of warm water for the priest and brought it to his mouth.

The priest drank a mouthful of warm water, forced a smile at Teresa, and said weakly:

"¨々 I'm sorry to have made you worry. Here's your favorite bitter melon cake. Sorry... it's cold.

Theresa looked like she was about to cry.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. What happened? Why did the priest fall in the snow? What are the wounds on your body?……"

Father Otto acted as if nothing had happened and consoled him,"It's okay, it's just a minor illness. You'll be fine after a night's sleep."

Although he spoke these words of comfort, his voice was so weak.

Yes, it's just a fatal injury...

Bronya and Seele turned their heads away with reluctant expressions.

With a snap, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a cold wind blew in from outside. Joachim's anxious face appeared in everyone's sight.

He nervously looked into the room, and after confirming that the priest was fine, Joachim returned to his usual expression.

Joachim pretended to be indifferent:"……I'm glad you're okay."

The priest sat up with difficulty and tried to speak in a normal tone:"Joachim, have you packed your luggage?"

"Everything is ready."

Joachim stood beside the bed with his head down. The priest tried to touch his head, but he subconsciously tried to avoid it.

"……You will be leaving early tomorrow morning, so go to bed early tonight. I hope you can keep this cross for me."

The priest's eyes revealed hope, as if he was expecting something.

Father Otto took down the cross hanging on his body, but Joachim hesitated for a moment and still did not reach out to take it.

"……I went to the village today to pick out a farewell gift for you. In the end, I thought that this cross was the most suitable. It has protected me from many disasters, and I hope you can also be protected by God."

"……No thanks. Sorry, I can't take it.……"

Seeing that Joachim refused again, the priest's eyes dimmed.

Joachim seemed to remember something and suddenly became a little excited:"God's protection... Can I be protected by God if I kill people in the name of goodness?"

Theresa's face suddenly changed, as if she wanted to raise her hand to hit Joachim's head.

"Joachim... what are you talking about! The priest gave you his cross because he wanted you to……"

"It's okay, Theresa."

Father Otto comforted Theresa, but no matter the people in the video or the people watching the video, they could see that the priest was in a low mood.

Theresa shouted to Joachim angrily:"The priest's intention... You don't understand it at all... Crazy"

"You are the one who doesn't understand at all!"

Joachim, who lost control of his emotions, rushed out of the room, and everyone was stunned.

The weak priest struggled to get out of bed, but lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground. Theresa quickly supported the priest and put him back on the bed.

Then Theresa looked at the sky outside and said worriedly

"Oh no, the sun is setting, he will be in danger!"

"Theresa, take good care of the priest. I'll go get him back."

Bronya looked heavy-hearted, nodded to Seele, and followed Joachim's footsteps.

【"Otto in this world is indeed a good person. If possible, I really don't want to see him die like that."——Honkai Impact 3: Tesla】

【"Everyone's character and thoughts are formed by the subtle experiences at every step. It may be just a difference in one choice that can create two completely different people. So, when faced with a choice, never let yourself regret it."——Collapse Star Railway: Himeko】.
