People are crumbling, they're vile strangers

After imagining the documents that will definitely double the destiny after being merged into one, Qiyana was speechless, and secretly sweated for her friend...

But Snow looks like she divided herself into two... shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Shaking his head, he threw away the conjecture about his companion's fate....

"Huh... what is that—?"

In the ruins of a building that was split by lightning in the distance, a dazzling silver reflection attracted Kiana's attention.

"Speaking of... this building seems to have been split by Mei at that time..."

Qiyana, who flew up to the ruined building, turned sideways to avoid the falling cement fragments, and looked at the strange-looking long knife standing in the middle of the ruins...

The blade exudes bursts of chill, and the long knife powered by Houkai energy has been continuously activated in the environment of high concentration of Houkai energy in Changkong City, and it has been maintained for nearly three years...

And with the help of this peculiar blade, the surrounding area constitutes a cool area that is refreshing in summer.

"This is... Snow's knife???"

Pulling the strangely shaped long knife from the pile of ruins, Qiyana simply flipped through her memory with the blade of the cold hand, and quickly found the corresponding item.

"It was lost here during the battle at that time...huh? Why are there traces of people's activities on the side...?!"

Holding a long knife with some cold hands, Kiyana scanned the surrounding frozen area; some scattered empty cans and beverage bottles were abandoned here, and it seemed that they were all garbage thrown here recently.

"Does anyone still live in this dead city...Well, the search and rescue personnel from Destiny and Anti-Entropy should have come here more than once...Why didn't they leave with the rescue personnel?"

Kiyana, who picked up a Coke can and squeezed it, looked at the fresh domestic garbage on the ground, a little confused...

"It can't be that some guy with a little brain deliberately ran in to play some exciting adventure in the dead city..."

Just when Qiyana started to think about whether a psychopath would really slip into this dead city, a somewhat unfamiliar girl's voice brought her back to consciousness...

"Hmm...how are you, the white-haired talking dead lady?"

Wearing a dark blue hoodie, with pink-purple hair... the little girl, who is at most about 12 years old, timidly looks at the strange big sister who is holding the finished Coke can and talking to herself.

"Hmm... The dead sister is here to recycle the broken things... If possible, can the big sister take away the knife stuck in the ground?"

"Ahhhhh?! Oh..... Bah, bah, who is the big sister of the dead man, you are the dead man!"

The series of questions from the little girl with pink and purple hair in front of her would not be corrected on the spot by Qiyana....

"But the teacher said that those white-haired big sisters outside are dead men?"

"You can call me Sister Qiyana, Miss Valkyrie, or Miss Herrscher, but only Miss Dead Warrior—wait a minute! No—"

"I was almost taken into a ditch by your child—kid, this dead city is very dangerous, you didn't sneak into it, did you?"

Qiyana didn't delve into how the girl in front of her knew about the dead warriors and Honkai, but looked at the little girl in front of her with some worry....

"This city is very dangerous, let my sister take you out..."

Knight Ji stretched out her hand to the pink-purple-haired girl, as if inviting... However, the latter's reply surprised Kiana a little.

"No, Xiao Kong has been living here with everyone. Although it is dangerous outside, the teacher will clean up the side every time he comes back...and he will bring back a lot of supplies."

The girl named Sora revealed something that Kiyana is very concerned about....

"Teacher? Um... is that your guardian??? It sounds like she knows all about the disasters caused by the Houkai..."

"If that's the case, why does she keep you in this dangerous city... That guy won't have any ulterior secrets!"

Kiana, who noticed something was wrong, instantly became alert——

"Ah... Big sister Kiyana, you misunderstood the teacher... Teacher, she is a good person, and she will visit us every month with sufficient supplies. There is a reason why we can't leave here."

"The teacher said that our bodies seemed to be suffering from some kind of disease... temporarily there is no way to leave here, but the teacher said that she would cure us... take us outside to live in high-rise buildings and villas—"

Seeing Kiyana who misunderstood something, Sora hurriedly explained...

"Why do I feel that you are getting darker and darker...Let's not discuss who your teacher is...Is Xiao Kong right? What's the matter with the domestic garbage in this place?"

"Could it be that you usually live here...??"

Chapter 280 Seventh Memory Is The Most Precious Wealth

"This.... This is a camp for everyone to escape from the summer heat. Because of the unstable power supply, everyone in the nest likes to escape the heat here during the summer."

Xiao Kong turned his head a little embarrassed.

"These beverage bottles and empty cans are all left by everyone in a hot weather a few days ago...and, there is a very special place here...——those ordinary dead people wandering outside and Honkai beasts never come near here."

"Therefore, people sometimes use this place as a temporary shelter when they go out to pick up waste."

Xiaokong explained to Kiyana the origin of these bottles and jars here...

"So Xiao Kong, when I saw that a big sister who was a dead soldier was able to run in, and even touched the knife... I was curious for a while, so I followed."

"I see...is that why you didn't let me take this knife?"

Qiyanano nodded thoughtfully.

"Hmm...that's just one of the reasons. Sora doesn't remember what happened before the catastrophe... When the teacher found me, she said that I was wandering around this long knife... ..."

"So Xiao Kong feels that the owner of this blade should be a very important person to Xiao Kong; at least he is someone who has left a deep impression on him."

"Hmmm... In this way, this knife has protected you once..."

Kiyana thought for a while and said to the girl with pink and purple hair.

"Ah...that's true——sister, you seem to know the owner of this long sword, right...? Sister Kiana, you seem to be familiar with this sword just now?"

It was the girl's turn to ask questions after the explanation, and the girl's tone was full of desire and impatience.

"Ah...that's right, the owner of this knife is the property of my partner who solved a bigger disaster in this city with me two years ago."

"Really! Can Xiaokong meet your friend, big sister?"

The girl who has been troubled all the year round and lost her memory seems to be grabbing a life-saving straw at this moment, and is somewhat eager to ask about the whereabouts of Qiyana, the owner of the ice blade.

"Please, sister Kiyana, this is really important to me, maybe I can recall some past events..."

"Uh...well, it's not that I don't want to help you, that guy's whereabouts are mysterious, and I don't know where she went to..."

"Hey...is that so..."

The girl lowered her head in a state of dismay... the white-haired knight looked distressed, she stretched out and rubbed the girl's short pink and purple hair, and comforted——

"Don't be too disappointed, my sister assures you, if my sister meets that friend again in the future, I'll pull you over right away, okay?"

"really?"

The girl raised her head in surprise, looking expectantly at the white-haired knight in front of her.

"Of course, I am the knight of Kaslana's family, I will do what I say!"

Kiyana patted her chest and made a promise to the little girl in front of her.

"Thank you, sister Kiyana—!"

"No, don't be in a hurry to thank me... Xiaokong, you have to know that the memory you lost is about the memory of the third big collapse..."

"I don't know if your teacher ever really explained to you the catastrophe that made this kind of city what it is..."

"This is the most destructive and serious disaster that human civilization has faced... the Great Crash."

Qiyana's expression became serious, and she stared at the little girl in front of her seriously.

"All survivors who have experienced disasters have bad memories of the Great Crash, and there are countless people like you who have lost their memories..."

"They are often subjected to more serious psychological stimulation than ordinary people, and their brains have selective amnesia... In other words, it's not that you can't remember, Xiao Kong, but that your brain thinking is under self-protection. I want to remind you."

"In words that you can understand, Xiao Kong... These past memories may not be suitable for you to recall now, and this is a decision made by your body instinctively..."

After listening to Kiyana's explanation, the girl fell into a brief silence....

"Xiaokong, I don't mean that you shouldn't go back to the past memories... Every memory is precious, I understand this very well, what I mean is—"

"Perhaps you should grow up and become more mature before facing those memories. After all, they are not destined to be wonderful memories."

Kiyana, who seemed to be afraid that the child in front of her might misunderstand something, hurriedly explained.

"Well, Xiaokong understands what you mean, sister Kiyana...Maybe the teacher never told me what happened in this city in the past for this reason, and sister Kiyana, your friend is also like this The reason will not appear in front of me..."

After being silent for a long time, the girl raised her head, with a certain firmness in her eyes, which made Qiyana slightly relieved.

"However, Xiaokong will not give up the idea of ​​retrieving his own memory. Just like your sister Qiyana said, memory is the most precious treasure of a person-whether it is sweet or bitter, it will always be form an important part of who I am.”

"Of course...Since sister Kiana has said so, I will put this plan in place when I grow up, after all, everyone in the nest does have the kind of children you mentioned...they Even after so long, I will be awakened by the nightmare at night..."

"As the backbone of the children in the nest, Sora, I can't be like that."

The girl clenched her fist, as if to cheer herself up.

"Well, as long as you can figure it out..."

Kiyana nodded, seemed to think of something and asked the girl——

"Speaking of which, since this knife can bring you so much help, and it also has a special meaning to you...why don't you bring it back to the place called the nest in your mouth? Where should it be yours? home?"

"...Well, sister Kiyana, don't you really think that the knife is so cold that it's a bit creepy... Teacher tried to bring that long knife back to the nest..."

Xiaokong looked at Qiyana who was carrying the skates without any discomfort, showing some admiration.

"But it's really too cold...the teacher pulled out the knife and it was frozen back on the ground not long after, and...the teacher can't seem to turn off the knife.. .Um, power switch?"

"The teacher said that this knife has the most advanced weapon lock of Destiny, and there is no way to unlock it...In the end, it was inserted back here."

"The most advanced weapon lock...? It would be weird to say what she said... Do you need me to help you bring this knife back?"

"Well, then I will trouble sister Kiyana... This knife may make everyone's nest safer."

"Then let's go—!"

Chapter 280 Demolition of the house, who is afraid....

"I'm going to find Kiyana with you now!!!"

In the underground base of the World Snake, a certain soprano from St. Freya College was piercing everyone's eardrums.

And the World Snake cadres headed by Imotek blocked their ears with their fingers, as if we couldn't hear what you said, which made the Third Herrscher angry.

"You guys!!! I'm going to Changkong City with you now!!! Do you understand!!!"
