Chapter 657 Character Match Easter Egg 5
The video continues.
Captain Dongyuan: "This is the place written on the note, right? Why did Rita suddenly ask me to come here, and why was she so mysterious... huh?"
The shadows in the corner seemed to be moving, as if something was waiting to strike. I couldn't help but be alert and subconsciously wanted to step back. Before my body could react, the air began to vibrate violently, and before I could actually react, the cold and sharp kunai was already against my neck.
"Xia, it's you."
The silence was full of hesitation. I could vaguely sense that she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start. Our silence lasted for a while, and she finally spoke with difficulty.
"I can't even kill you right now. Someone like me doesn't deserve the light..."
Her hand holding the kunai fell limply, and even with the mask on, I could feel her sadness.
"Do you like yourself right now?"
This didn't seem like a question from someone seeking an answer, but more like a mixture of bitterness, self-mockery, or despair after not finding an answer after a longer period of thinking. But even so, facing the sudden question, I still didn't know how to answer it for a while, and then...
"You should like it very much, after all, so many people need you, but...if you are no longer needed, then there is no meaning for your existence, right?"
Over the long years, she has forged herself into a sharp tool, just to be needed by others. Only in this way can she feel the meaning of her existence.
"I exist to fulfill her wish. This body and this soul were given to me by her. Why, when she was leaving, did she let me live?
Why can't I even live shamelessly? "
She kept talking to herself, constantly asking questions to her heart. For a moment, I couldn't find any words to comfort her - all she needed was a beam of light to follow, to make herself feel needed, so that she could like herself at this moment. But... I can't be her light, and I don't need to be.
Captain Dong Yuan: "You are not a vassal of others. Your existence itself has meaning."
Xia: "Then tell me, what is the meaning of my existence?"
"I do not know."
I could feel Xia's body trembling slightly, which made me quickly continue with the next words.
“Although it may be a bit far-fetched to say this, I, like you, have carried certain traces since birth. With these traces, I embarked on a long and fulfilling journey... If this journey has left me with any revelation,
That must be - don't let those traces become your obstacles, you are you, an independent individual, you have the right to pursue your own wishes. I think that is what is really important. "
Xingqie Railway Huai Yan: "Hahahahaha, what Captain said is completely based on his own life experience!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Otto: "After all, I'm driving a Hyperion around in various world bubbles, so it's normal to have these opinions."
Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "I just wonder what Miss Xia would think?"
The video continues.
Xia: "But I don't have any wishes. My wishes have passed away along with that person, and I will never be able to reach the other side."
"I see. Then..."
I held out my hand to her.
"Xia, come with us. Even if you are still confused now, even if you can't find the meaning of existence now, it doesn't matter. You are not a part of anyone's wishes. You are a complete and independent soul."
"..."
"I think it must be very painful for you to have lost the hope you once had. But in the journey ahead, you still have a lot of time to search until you find...your true wish."
"Are you... asking me to do this?"
"No, I'm asking for your wishes."
Her tears finally seeped out of the mask and flowed down her neck into the exquisite armor.
"We are enemies. Don't... say such things to me. It will make me think... that I have found the light."
Time passes by, and we spend the silent contemplation together in the light and darkness.
Honkai Impact 3rd Kallen: "It seems that Kasumi has agreed."
Genshin Impact: "Yes, Xia looked completely moved by the scene."
Vivian: "Captain, you are really good! If I can also recite what Lord Phaethon said..."
The video continues.
A small figure squatted by the roadside, cutting off the dead leaves one by one.
Captain Dong Yuan: "Xilin."
Xilin: "Why did you come to see me suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
"Meow~"
"Eh? Why is there a kitten here?"
"Brownie found it in Canghai City. She said you might be willing to take care of it."
"Don't push everything on me. I'm not an animal keeper..."
She muttered softly, but her hands couldn't wait to take the kitten from my arms and gently stroked its ears. The kitten made a happy sound.
"It likes you very much."
"Aa ...
"Of course, but in this case, you agree to continue traveling with us, right?"
"...Anyway, there's nothing urgent right now, so you can stay for a while. After all, without my magic, you'll easily run into troubles you can't solve. I don't want to travel with you or anything..."
"Indeed, without your help, I would not be able to rescue Xingxing, nor find Yuexia."
"Hehe, my magic is pretty powerful, isn't it?"
"That's amazing. Thank you, Xilin."
"Eh? You, why are you so polite all of a sudden... You don't need to thank me. After all, you helped me before, and I don't like to owe people favors. Besides, you and I are now... partners. It's just a small favor, you don't have to take it to heart."
"Haha, I understand."
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Hehehe, big sis is being tsundere again! If I tease you with this tone, I'm sure I'll turn into a pufferfish again!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Cecilia: "Yeah, how can my daughter be so cute!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Xilin: "Kiana, mother, what are you talking about!"
The video continues.
"But have you taken care of the affairs of the world where the magical girls live?"
"It's all been dealt with before. With Senior Freya and Buluo here, there shouldn't be any problems. And... I trust Trili. Just leave the things over there to them."
"Won't you miss them?"
"...Not at all!...Okay, maybe sometimes. But when I'm with them, I always unconsciously fall into a self-centered comfort zone. So rather than just being together temporarily, I want to get out of my self-protective shell and see the outside world.
After all, if a new demon king appears, I must have enough strength and determination to protect them."
"It seems like you and Brownie get along very well. No wonder she said you would pester her to chat even before going to bed."
"Not yet! I just asked her some things to be aware of when leaving her original world, but there was definitely nothing much to talk about."
"Haha, okay, I just think you two are somewhat similar. Anyway, welcome to Hyperion, Xilin. By the way, I also prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it."
"A gift... for me?"
"Well, I saw it by chance and thought it would be a good fit for Xilin, so I bought it."
Honkai Sanvita: "What is it? What kind of gift is it? I'm so curious!"
Star Dome Railway Hanabi: "Let Hanabi guess, is it some kind of magical girl costume, or a magical girl toy?"
Genshin Impact Yae Goddess: "It's all possible. What kind of gift will the store manager give?"
