The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

If there are errors or omissions in the documents, there are usually several ways to remedy them.

The first method is to use correction fluid or correction tape to erase the errors and then fill in the correct words and sentences.

Second, use a pen to paint over the wrong places. Then add the words at the end.

The third method is to use tape to remove the mistakes, and then fill in the new words in the original place or continue them later, it is up to you.

The way memory is modified can also be compared in this way.

In the first method, although it has been covered up with new words and phrases, the original memory is still hidden on the "paper". As long as the upper part is uncovered, it can be retrieved.

In this respect, the second and third methods are essentially different from them.

Unfortunately, what "Hua" encountered was the third way.

All the memories of a certain person in my mind were taped off, leaving only numerous holes. Holes cannot be covered up, just like the tape that has been removed will make the paper surface thin and rough, and traces of modifications can be seen at a glance.

This is a completely unexpected situation, maybe it's because of Yu Duchen? No, although Yu Duchen's side effects are similar to the current situation, the memory deleted by Yu Duchen will not deliberately target a certain existence.

The current situation... it's more like someone has tampered with her memory. Is it "that person" who doesn't want her to remember "his" existence? But if this is the case, the method is too crude, like a product of rushing.

That is to say, the hole also has a shape. Use the power of consciousness to wrap the hole like water, fill the hole, and gradually you can perceive the outline of the person.

This is what "Hua" couldn't help but be distracted during the battle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to deal with the guy named Jackal for so long, and he only used his full strength almost at the end.

That is to say...

Right now, the figure of the man grabbing his wrist in front of him completely overlapped with that empty outline.

"Uh...ah!"

An unspeakable pain pierced through the heart, then quickly rose along the spinal cord, hitting the brain directly, making people feel like something light and fluffy in the head was about to fly out of the body. At the same time, "Hua" quickly freed his wrist and took two steps back. However, he had to bend his body and cover his head under the pressure of the strange feeling.

"Is everything okay?"

The man took a step towards her and stretched out his hand as if to touch her forehead - telepathy faithfully fed all this back to "Hua"'s mind. She had not yet understood the meaning of this, nor did she know how she should respond. , the body gave feedback first:

"Snapped!"

The outstretched hand was slapped away, and the man's upper and lower lips parted. He seemed a little surprised, but he did not retreat. Instead, he tentatively stretched out his hand again, and finally patted her head gently.

"Is everything okay?"

He repeated the question again gently. Well, although it is a question, the tone is not emphatic, making it difficult to imagine that the emotion expressed by this sentence is a question.

No, maybe from the beginning, this man didn't want to express that kind of thing. What you want to express is always just concern.

But strange to say, just being touched by him so pointlessly and caring a word, the pain was relieved and slowly subsided like a tide.

However, all this was interrupted by another woman's voice:

"Lord, how should we deal with this guy? She is..."

"whispering sound!"

"Hua"'s face was distorted again, and her telekinesis power fluctuated violently due to anger at this moment, and finally condensed into countless dark red feathers in mid-air.

"Hua"'s body twitched slightly, and the blood-red eyes exposed between his fingers were fixed on the jackal who had just spoken.

"You guy, will you die if you don't speak? Do you think I can't kill you if this guy is here!"

Accompanied by the sharp voice, the feathers all over the sky suddenly showed a hard and sharp luster, and fell like arrows, so fast that the person facing them had no time to make a sound.

"well……"

However, one person still sighed deeply.

Just sighing like this, those dark red feathers full of murderous intent suddenly bloomed with a golden light. The light caressed each feather, causing it to fade away from the chilling dark red and return to the rouge-like color. Light red, correspondingly, the feathers no longer imitate the trajectory of the arrow, but return to the essence of feathers, as misty as fallen leaves, and are burned by the sudden flames before landing.

"Honored...Honored Lord?"

"enough."

The man waved his hand. Should this action be understood as expulsion? At least judging from his next words, "Hua" thought that was what he meant.

"Jackal, take everyone and evacuate this level."

"But Lord, she..."

"It doesn't matter, leave this to me. You go deal with the soldiers on the fifth to thirty-fifth underground floors. Although no one should be injured, you will catch a cold if you sleep on the ground in such a cold day."

"Ah...ah..."

Jackal reluctantly responded twice, and bowed slightly stiffly.

"I see."

The footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only two lonely figures standing there.

"Is this okay now? Are you more calm?"

Hua saw that the man finally took back the hand on his head and fell backward. She had a pretty good impression of him, and just as she was about to say a reminder, she saw a chair suddenly appear behind him.

"This is... the power of the First Herrscher, wait... uh..."

There was a tingling sensation in her mind again, but the next moment, with a "boom", her facial features wrinkled together and she squirmed violently for two seconds. After all, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Hahahahahaha——"

"Well……"

Mikael lay on the back of the chair, his head hurting from being hit by the hard ground, but he just pleaded in a listless and slightly impatient tone:

"Um...come and help me quickly."

"Hahaha...say thank you first!"

"Thanks."

Hearing the man's unusually straightforward answer, "Hua" curled his lips in disappointment.

"Ah! I heard Jackal calling you Lord, so you are a big shot after all, right? The fact that you were able to neutralize my attack so lightly just now shows that you also have the strength to match mine, so you are so spineless? Should I have known that? You should find a way to record this and send a copy to each of your World Snake employees.”

He muttered angrily, but "Hua" still hooked his fingers and used telekinesis to lift the man in front of him and the entire chair up.

"Well... they did feel a little too relaxed once they left. But it doesn't matter - I mean, thanking you doesn't matter at all, given our relationship."

"'Our relationship'? Huh? What is my relationship with you?"

Although she instinctively had a good impression of the man in front of her and a primitive impulse to retrieve the corresponding memory, when the man said the above words, "Hua" felt a sense of shame and anger in her heart that things were out of control.

To sum it up in three words -

【No way……】

But what she didn't expect was that the man quickly patted his head with a hint of annoyance, and then stretched out his hand to her again.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot your situation. Maybe you don't remember it yourself. You used Yu Duchen's first rated power again before, and the memory should have been burned out. So, let's get to know each other again, I It's Mikael. Call me...hehe, just call me Mikael."

It was just a handshake. This kind of courtesy was very common in his memory. "Hua" instinctively raised his hand and stretched forward, but he still remembered something at the last moment.

"My...memory is burned out..."

She stared blankly at her slender fingers. At first glance, they were not much different from those of a normal girl. But even without rubbing them deliberately, she could still feel the roughness from her fingertips to her fingertips and then to her palms that couldn't be considered calluses. feel.

She remembers this clearly. She saw it very clearly in her memory a long time ago. That was because when she was a girl, in order to prevent her hands from looking different, every time there were calluses, she would It took a long time to wear it off, and finally a layer of skin that was neither callous nor as delicate as the average girl's skin was formed.

She remembered all this clearly.

Turning her hand slightly, the white light of the fluorescent lamp fell quietly on her nails. She found that her nails were a little too long, and the white free edge accounted for almost a quarter of the entire nail. No wonder there was a lot of pain when punching before. Severe feeling of strangeness. In the past, in order to avoid affecting the feeling of punching, she always cut off her nails when they grew a little longer. For this reason, she always needed to use tools to help open the tabs of cans.

These memories were quietly piled up in her mind. It was obviously not "memories being burned".

Yes, didn't you think of it before when you thought about the problem of memory loss? It's really...

Under the gaze of the man who called himself Mikael, "Hua"'s fingertips touched him immediately, and then slowly raised them, scratching his head in a natural manner.

"Well... you might not believe it if I tell you. I seem to have a lot of memories about the past here, except... uh..."

She pursed her lips in time.

This man named Mikael had moved her sincerely since he appeared on the scene. This may not be the case from memory, but he is indeed the first person to show kindness to him since his birth... ah no, after his recovery.

"Hua" feels that she is very good at settling accounts, and one code equals the other. Mikael is so "nice" to her, so she can't make him sad. According to the fluctuations of human emotions, when one person knows that another person has lost his memory, People have recovered almost all their memories, except when they don't remember him, it should be difficult not to have negative emotions.

"This."

Mikael leaned forward, put his left elbow on his thigh, and held his cheek with his fingers. He seemed not surprised by the result. If you include the smile on his lips, it would not be an exaggeration to say "delighted".

"It seems that my attempt was successful. Yu Duchen has collapsed. During your coma, I sent almost all of Yu Duchen's feathers that I could find back to your mind. It seems, Your brain autonomously absorbed the memories in those feathers. From the time Hua first used Yu Duchen, you may be the one who knows Hua’s past best.”

"Oh! You did such a good thing! Thank you!"

The so-called wariness has long been forgotten. "Hua" took two steps forward, turned sideways, lowered his body, patted Mikael's shoulder hard twice, and then simply put his arm on Mikael's shoulder. , quite a bit of a hook-and-shoulder look.

"feed me……"

She didn't know why, but when she was talking, she couldn't help but want to get closer to Mikael. Because of this, she noticed Mikael's lips moving slightly, and secretly said something in a suppressed voice:

"Well... if you look at it this way, the body was provided by Hua and the memory was retrieved by me. Does this count as my and her child?"

"ha?"

"Hua"'s body instantly straightened up. He raised his right hand high and then lowered it heavily. His five fingers clasped Mikael's shoulder tightly, and his other hand had already grabbed Mikael's collar.

"What do you mean? I consider you a friend, but you actually want to be my dad?"

"No, no, no, it's just a joke." - "Hua" thought Mikael would answer like this, and of course he would add an embarrassed look and a wave of his hand.

What? The reason for such speculation?

It was nothing, but her subconscious had been sending her some kind of signal, like the feeling of always holding her right hand against her chest when walking. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it was very inconsistent.

After careful identification, it turned out that the message was - "I am the same person as him."

what is this? What reminders did your previous self leave to your current self?

But in this case, you only need to put yourself in someone else's shoes to imagine Mikael's reaction - this is the whole process of her prediction.

The prediction was very good and there was no problem except for the wrong result.

In fact, Mikael just changed his hand to support his head, but did not give any response.

"Hahaha……"

When one party falls silent, the other party has to bear the burden of embarrassment and depression. "Hua"'s dry laughter could not dispel the depression caused by the silence, but instead added a little meaningless absurdity to the atmosphere between the two.

"So, Hua, what are you going to do next?"

"Ah? What should I do?"

"That's the next plan. What does 'Hua', who has inherited Hua's memory, want to do in the coming days?"

"Does that need to be said? Of course it's to defeat Honkai! Isn't that why I joined the Fire Chaser Moth back then!"

"That's it."

Mikael stood up from his seat, put his hands in his pockets, and began to circle around the entire command room.

"Hua"'s eyes followed Mikael's footsteps unconsciously, but gradually got lost in the constant repetition and the ruthless and scorching light of the fluorescent lamp.

Motes of dust float freely in the sharp light. Close your eyes, and the colorful light spots desperately and firmly search for light in the darkness.

This is a different kind of silence.

The footsteps chased "Hua" sleeplessly, making it impossible for her to escape to a quiet place, but in the end, Mikael didn't say a word at all.

It takes six points and sixty-two seconds to take a deep breath and exhale a long breath.

So time lingered between these six points and sixty-two seconds. As long as no one claims it, time can linger forever, forever staying in these six points and sixty-two seconds.

But that's not possible.

"Is there...is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Hua" took a step back with a guilty conscience.

It wasn't until she was forced by Mikael's silence to seriously review her memories that she realized what the empty memory of "that person" really meant.

It's not just the loss of memory about a certain person, but a longer span and wider coverage... Losing the memory about that person is like a person's torso being removed, leaving only a lifeless one. pieces of meat.

But now was the opportunity. That person was right in front of him. Even though he had just said that his goal was to "destroy Honkai Impact", when that person appeared right in front of him, he still couldn't help but... couldn't help but want to know more about it. He some...

But……

"Ah! That's right!! I obviously wanted to beat you up first! No, no, no! You just wanted to be my father! You have to beat you twice!!"
