PNB Chapter 150 Familiar Symptoms
Chapter 150 Familiar Symptoms
"Alright, but how do we find Chi You's heart?"
"Everyone, I have a plan."
Under the astonished gazes of the three, Sora, wearing Raiden Mei's coat, walked up to Fu Hua's side.
"Lend me the Heavenly Fire Judgment. I'll use it a few more times here to turn Chi You's body upside down. I won't have to worry about not finding his heart!"
"Are you crazy?"
Seeing Qiong resort to such a method that disregarded his own life, Siegfried was furious.
"You were lucky enough to escape with your life before, so you thought you were safe? This is the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, not an ordinary weapon!"
Qiong shrugged dismissively. To be honest, he just wanted to test the Annihilation form of the Heavenly Fire Judgment. This time, he wasn't trying to pull off a destruction + preservation trick, so it was perfectly safe!
"Actually, what happened just now was an accident... Besides, do you have a better idea? If not, why don't you just do as I say!"
"Theresa?"
Siegfried patted Theresa on the shoulder, and Theresa immediately stood on Siegfried's side.
"Yes, Siegfried is right! Qiong, this won't work, the risk is too great! Let's think of another way. Walter, what's your opinion?"
"Hmm, me? Cough cough..."
Clearing his throat and adjusting his glasses, Walter walked up to Qiong.
"Qiong, abandon your unfeasible plan. If you unleash heavenly fire here, not only will this area be destroyed, but we might also be roasted alive."
Qiong: ...
Well, he didn't think of that, but there are ways to solve it.
"Uncle Yang, then let everyone leave first! I promise nothing will happen."
"Sigh, young man."
Old Yang rubbed his forehead and tapped the ground with his cane.
"You don't want everyone to see you completely naked, do you?"
"Completely naked?"
Qiong couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
The hero Qiong, who shattered Chi You's heart with his greatsword, boarded the ship's aircraft to return to the Hyperion, but the price of being a hero was that he was left naked...
"Have you heard? This time, a naked man defeated Chi You?"
During those days, Qiong's annihilation of Chiyou became the most talked-about topic of conversation in the Far East Branch.
"Ah? Really fake?"
"Absolutely true! And I'm absolutely certain, he is—"
～～～～～～～～～～～～～
NO!!!!
Upon hearing this, Qiong immediately abandoned his plan to use the heavenly fire to fight Chiyou.
If the Heavenly Judgment were used to defeat Chi You, the hero himself would most likely lose his current clothes, and afterwards, when people talked about the hero who fought Chi You...
That was a complete social disaster! How many men are there in the entire Far East branch? A simple investigation would lead back to him. This is unacceptable!
Faced with the choice between fighting Chi You to the death or not fighting Chi You and not dying, Qiong decisively chose the latter.
"Uncle Yang, you're right, this won't do."
Seeing that Qiong had given in, Siegfried said a few words.
"Remember, mature adults will find a win-win solution, instead of acting rashly like you."
Qiong pouted and muttered softly.
"If I hadn't been without fireproof clothes, my method might have been even faster..."
Brat, even if you don't acknowledge yourself as Kaslana, shouldn't you at least show some basic respect for your elders? Who exactly is his father? Wait, he seems to be...
Siegfried finally realized that Old Yang's words carried more weight with Qiong than his and Theresa's combined. Thinking this, he fell silent.
"Gentlemen, there's no need to argue. Just follow me. I know where it is."
Fu Hua interrupted their argument.
"Squad leader, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Taking off his glasses, Fu Hua rubbed his temples.
"I want to say, you didn't give me a chance either."
------------------
The group had no idea how many detours they had taken, but finally, guided by Fu Hua, they arrived at a place emitting strong Honkai energy fluctuations... a ventricle?
In the very center of the ventricle, a remarkably large, heart-like object was beating. Beside it, a faint, dark figure could be seen.
"This is it, everyone be careful."
"You little brats, step back! This is an adult's battlefield!"
Siegfried pulled Fu Hua behind him, and Theresa also protected the others behind her, ready to strike and shatter Chi You's heart at any moment.
“Go back, you chosen by the Honkai. I don’t want to fight you… It’s not too late to leave now… But if you take another step forward, I will have no choice but to kill you…”
"who are you?"
Siegfried and Theresa are both protecting the children, so the only person who can negotiate on their behalf is Walter.
The black figure became increasingly solid.
“I have no name… however, you can call me by my real name: Ji Lin.”
Good heavens, this is truly bizarre.
Seeing that Lao Yang remained silent, Ji Lin in black continued to persuade everyone to leave.
"You are not the targets of my revenge, and there is no point in fighting you."
"Revenge? Senior, you have enemies? But if you have enemies, why are you stopping us from destroying Chi You's heart?"
Hei Jilin gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Hehehe... Destroy Chi You... Yes, that was indeed my original wish, but what does it have to do with me? For the sake of so-called righteousness, my original self, like you, went deep into Chi You's realm, annihilating her physical body here, leaving only a remnant soul... Over a long period of time, in order to maintain the seal, she had to abandon the love and hope in her heart, merging her loneliness, fear, and regret into darkness, which became me..."
"Is it dissociative identity disorder?"
Walter had some understanding of the situation; it wasn't impossible for someone to develop a different personality after prolonged torture. Besides, he knew of quite a few cases like this.
Although it sounds strange, he is indeed very familiar with these kinds of situations: such as two personalities living in the same body (Seele Vollerie); the form of a stigma transcription being another life form (Feathered Rabbit Mistelin); two individuals born from the extension of the same will in different directions (Kiana and Sirin); and a certain Herrscher of Consciousness formed from the 50,000 years of memories of the Key of Consciousness Feather Crossing Dust... clones, clones, mass-produced machines, soul steel bodies...
"Walter, what are you looking at those girls for?"
Theresa noticed that Old Yang's gaze was sweeping back and forth between Fu Hua, Raiden Mei, and Kiana, and she found it a little strange.
"fine……"
Retracting his strange thoughts, Walter continued listening to the Black Queen Lin in front of him.
"In the end, my original body disappeared. Now, all that remains in my heart is hatred—hatred for those I wanted to protect back then..."
"Excuse me for being frank, but I cannot understand your thinking."
Walter's tone became increasingly forceful, changing from "respected senior" to "you."
"You probably can't understand Ji Lin's noble ideal of sacrificing himself to save others, given your negative emotions!"
At this point, the negotiations can be said to have broken down.
"How foolish, how regrettable, then I can only..."
Suddenly, a warhorse materialized beneath Hei Jilin.
"I'll wipe you all out!"
"Walter, watch out!"
Seeing that Hei Jilin, riding a black horse and wielding a black Xuanyuan sword, had already charged towards them, Old Yang's lips curled into a slight smile.
"You've arrived, Senior Ji Lin... I'm sorry, I can only free you from this long period of loneliness. Eden Star, Zero Rated Power, Unleash!"
Opportunities to show off in front of others are rare, and this is a golden opportunity that has been handed to you!
