"Dad, sister Rita and I were out celebrating her brother's birthday today, so we didn't go home for dinner." "Oh, then have fun, Qi..." At this moment, Siegfried was stunned again. Then he blurted out. "Bianca." "understood." After watching the girl named Bianca go away, Siegfried found that he seemed a little too tired. From the beginning, I have been feeling a little dazed... Ha, I was probably too tired from working overtime on games yesterday. Seeing the tiredness on Siegfried's face, Cecilia spoke very gently.
"It's true that today we're going to have the second test meeting for the new project, but there's no need for you to work so hard." "no way." After picking up the bread on the table, Siegfried looked at Cecilia and said helplessly. "If possible, I still hope we can move to a bigger house." "So - I still have to work overtime." "Really... obviously the body is the most important thing." Seeing Cecilia sitting there sulking, Siegfried suddenly smiled. My wife is so cute. So, I... I...... I? Strange, what was I trying to say? Siegfried glanced at the calendar and confirmed that today was September 23rd, but he still chose to concentrate on eating. Don’t think too much. I must work hard for my wife and daughter. .. That morning, Siegfried arrived at the Satori headquarters on time. After enduring the dissatisfied gaze of his colleague Shigure Kirara for a long time, he finally waited for President Otto to come to the conference room. After Siegfried's cousin Amber Kaslana showed the data of the second test, Siegfried saw a satisfied smile on Otto's face. But looking at this smiling face, Siegfried didn't know why... I always feel like I want to give my wife's elders a couple of punches.
Then he felt strange again. Strange, Uncle Otto usually takes good care of us and promoted me to be the producer of this new game... I should be grateful to him... We should be grateful to him, right? In the following time, Siegfried had a happy time. Although he is busy with work, his wife supports him, his subordinates trust him, and although his daughter is in her rebellious period, she has not caused any major problems. Siegfried, who had a happy family and a successful career, finally finished making the game. "Honkai Impact 3 Restart Beginning, referred to as "Honkai Impact 3 RB" for short." On the PPT presenting the game, Siegfried spoke to his colleagues and leaders present. “Restart Beginning, Restart Beginning. Restart means that this new game is connected to the previous game, Honkai Impact. Beginning means that although it is connected to the previous game, it is essentially a new beginning.” "I have already introduced the gameplay. The game has now entered the testing phase. I believe that this game, which absorbs the experience of "Honkai Gakuen" and "Honkai Impact", should be able to bring happiness to players and help us obtain sufficient...benefits." "Yeah, well said." At this time, Otto clicked the terminal in his hand and displayed some data on the screen in front of everyone. "This is the game-related data after the third test. So far, the response is good." "At the moment, it just needs to be available on October 14th." "Siegfried, you've worked hard during this period." "Oh, no." Strange, why do I feel my left hand's desire to beat up Uncle Otto...higher? Am I too tired lately? After a day of discussion, Siegfried, exhausted both physically and mentally, walked out of the gate of the Savior headquarters. Just at this moment, he saw a young man. A young man whom he knew, but whose face was filled with guilt for some reason. "You are...ah, it's Lin Yu, right?" After recognizing the young man's identity, Siegfried suddenly said with a little worry. "Bianca asked you to come to me? Wait, nothing's happened to her!" "Please be at ease, Bianca, nothing is wrong." After saying this, Siegfried suddenly felt that the space around him was fluctuating. Accompanied by the sound of shattering mirrors, Siegfried suddenly saw that everything in front of him had changed.
At the same time, a vast amount of memories once again connected Siegfried's brain. “Ha…hahaha…hahahaha…” Cecilia, Kiana, Kira, Patrick, Salome, Li Xue, Shabu... So this is ah...... So this is ah. Otto…Apokalis! Looking at Siegfried, whose face had become extremely terrifying at this moment, Lin Yu's guilt became even more serious. Originally, he just wanted to test this ability. The reason for choosing Siegfried was simply because he wanted to familiarize himself with his abilities as quickly as possible in case of an emergency. According to Siegfried's strength, he should have been resistant to this kind of illusion after experiencing the illusion created by Xilin fourteen years ago. But soon, Lin Yu discovered that he had done something wrong. Siegfried did have a way to defend against this kind of attack, but... He actively chose not to resist this force. Siegfried, who had always been aware that something was wrong, chose to give up fighting against this force. This was certainly because he subconsciously did not sense any hostility in this attack, but the deeper reason was actually very simple. The hero, who failed to protect his wife and children, did not want to leave this fantasy. Even though it was a false illusion, Siegfried, who was in the illusion, still hoped to see his dead wife again. A person who truly loves his wife may not always talk about his love, nor may he post a blog post on the Internet every year to mourn her. For many people who love their deceased wives, many things do not need to be said. At this moment, Lin Yu, who caused all this, felt the endless love for his family and a despairing sadness from the man in front of him. He was once the strongest man in history, a great hero who even defeated powerful enemies. However, he eventually exhausted his strength in order to protect others, and after being betrayed by the bishop he served, he killed his wife and daughter. But now, he couldn't even take revenge and could only watch his other daughter step into the trap set by the enemy. It is precisely because Siegfried has been in the self-blame brought about by this kind of sadness that he has the ability to escape from the illusion that he chooses to continue sleeping. He really needed a place to rest his mind. But, false things are false after all. In the end, looking at the man in front of him, Lin Yu chose to remove the cognitive rewriting ability of the slide barrier. "...Haha, it really is fake." After fully waking up, Siegfried only had a wry smile on his face.
Then, he looked at the guilt-filled boy in front of him and asked. "Brother Lin Yu, you were just letting me off before." "If you had used this ability before, I would have been captured or even killed on the spot by the enemy of destiny." Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Lin Yu was silent for a long time before he responded. "...why don't you scold me?" "No, or you can just beat me up." "...Are you a masochist?" Looking at the young man in front of him, Siegfried couldn't help laughing. "Not really. I can sense that you didn't harbor any hostility towards me when you used this ability." "Besides, I want to thank you, Brother Lin Yu." "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to see Cecilia again." "…but that's not true." "Yeah, but...she's still Cecilia." Thinking back on everything he had seen in the environment, Siegfried's face showed a hint of nostalgia. "I will never forget her eyes and smile. Everything about her is forever engraved in my soul." "But I am just an ordinary person after all. Even if I can't forget my wife, I still want to see her again..." At this point, Siegfried scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Haha, sorry to make you laugh, but this is the real Siegfried Kaslana." "A middle-aged man who can't protect his wife and daughter...ha, this is the real me." After saying this, Siegfried's expression became extremely serious. "Anyway, thank you, Lin Yu." Looking at the man in front of him, Lin Yu now felt that he had finally discovered the flaw in the slide barrier. Modifying other people's cognition seems to be a very powerful ability... No, in fact, this ability is very powerful. After modifying your opponent's perception in battle, as long as you make him think of you as a good friend, the probability that he will be on guard against you when you take action will be greatly reduced. However, this ability has a flaw. In other words, for Lin Yu, using this ability requires paying a small price. This price has nothing to do with magic. Modify other people's cognition, let them indulge in happiness, and then use actions to tell them that this happiness is false...
This is enough to cause a huge blow to ordinary people with average mentality. Just like Kiana who was addicted to Cecilia's maternal love in the main storyline of the game, even though she knew that Cecilia was dead, she would gradually fall because of her excessive indulgence in false happiness. not only that. Even Xilin back then, due to an operational error, ended up becoming Cecilia's daughter. In 2000, Celine finally discovered that Cecilia was not hypnotized at all.
