A Person in Honkai, This Narration is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Path

A few kilometers away from the TV station building, Kiana had the motorcycle stop and then hid it nearby.

To avoid alerting the patrolling personnel inside the TV station building, she had no choice but to get off the motorcycle early and walk over, minimizing the chance of being discovered.

Sigh, this young lady is doing this for everyone's benefit.

Acting so sneakily, if anyone else saw me, and I claimed to be a good person...

Even I wouldn't believe it.

PS: Fourth update.

Chapter Recommendation:

Synopsis: "Miss Ritsuka, listen to me. I transmigrated to this world, got a simulator, and you want me to save the Lostbelts with my love? I refuse."

"It's not that I'm against romance; on the contrary, I think love is truly great— I'm not just spouting empty praise, but genuinely marveling at it."

"Because of love, light bodies are pierced, heavenly wheels are broken, starships are shot down, the void is cleaved by swords, and humanity's foundation is shielded by shields... these events, exaggerated to the point of absurdity, can even be called miracles."

"Because of love, beasts persecuted, crossed over, and abandoned by humans are constantly born, challenging Pan-Human History."

"And precisely because the power of love is great and heavy, I refuse. After all, my love isn't that vast; what I can't do, I can't do."

"If that's the case, then why did you turn out like this, Mr. Scumbag?"

Inside a cage, Chaldea, shackled and bound, looked at Skadi, who was making ice cream for Surtr nearby, Caster serving tea to Bá Wánxī, Tlaloc sharing sweets with Kukulkan, and Minamoto no Raikou practicing tea ceremony with Ibuki Douji... He blinked innocently.

"Because the simulator didn't say it had to be my love, Miss Ritsuka."

Chapter 37: Causing a Major Scandal!

After sneaking to the TV station building, Kiana, wearing a mask, found an unlocked window on a lower floor and jumped straight in.

As for why her jumping ability was so strong...

Don't ask. Just attribute it to the invincible bloodline of the Kaslana family.

Before this, Kiana had mentally prepared herself to be discovered and chased.

Before even arriving, she had used the intermittently available internet to research the building's layout in some areas.

As for why such information was available online, it was because a portion of that floor was open to the public during the day.

Before entering, Kiana had even used a search engine to secretly watch a one-minute video tutorial on operating the equipment.

Everything was ready. Next, she just needed to get to the TV station, get the equipment set up, and then...

—This young lady would cause a major scandal!

Kiana knew that once she caused a huge stir, it wouldn't be long before someone interrupted her "spellcasting" through some rather unsophisticated means.

The simplest way would be to cut the power or disconnect the network.

But no matter how fast these people reacted, they couldn't possibly apprehend her the instant she made her move.

As long as she could get the message out, even if one more person believed Kiana's rumors, she could save one more person.

With this thought in mind, Kiana stealthily made her way to the top floor. Just as she was about to act...

Click.

The room, which had been completely dark, was suddenly illuminated by lights.

"Huh?!"

Kiana, momentarily blinded by the sudden light, panicked and prepared to flee.

But in the next instant, after seeing the people in the room clearly, Kiana immediately stopped.

She had expected to be caught by the staff who had stayed behind.

However, judging by the current situation, she didn't think the people present were likely to be staff.

Or rather...

—What kind of TV station staff would be wearing bulletproof vests and holding pistols here?!

And they were all pointing their guns at her head!

Judging by their attire, they didn't look like good people at all!

"Excuse me, are you Miss Kiana Kaslana?"

The man in the lead, while aiming his pistol at Kiana, said calmly.

"Our Boss has ordered that you be invited back for a chat."

This is troublesome.

Although she had always known Schicksal was hunting her and her old man, she never expected them to have set up an ambush here.

As Kiana gazed at the cold gun barrels surrounding her...

—She wasn't actually that scared.

She had dared to fight Honkai Beasts before she was ten years old. Compared to Honkai Beasts, humans holding pistols posed no real threat to her.

Relying on the Kaslana bloodline, Kiana was confident she could slip away unharmed despite all the guns pointed at her.

However, running away now felt like a bit of a loss.

Hmm, I need to get some information. I must get some information.

After deliberately showing weakness and raising her hands, Kiana let out a sigh of resignation.

"Fine, I'll go with you."

"But since I'm cooperating so much, you have to tell me who went to all this trouble to invite me, right?"

The mercenary leader initially had no intention of responding to Kiana's request.

Mercenaries, put simply, were people who lived life on the edge.

These people risked their lives for money, and those who did so would surely be as careful as possible when carrying out their missions.

To be honest, they didn't want any complications.

But just then, the mercenary leader's communicator rang.

"Since Miss Kiana wants to know who I am, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to show a little sincerity."

"After all, I know very well that as the daughter of that esteemed person, you are undoubtedly a genius girl."

"As a genius girl, you surely don't intend to be captured without a fight. If possible, I would certainly hope you would genuinely cooperate with my actions and meet with me."

Listening to the voice from the communicator, Kiana's heart sank.

How did she know I was planning to run... Oh, right, she's from Schicksal.

People from Schicksal are colleagues with my old man and mom. It's not strange for her to know my background.

"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Cocolia, and I am a member of the Anti-Entropy organization."

"As for why I wish for you to come and meet me, the reason is very simple."

"Miss Kiana, I do not wish for you to be harmed because of your kindness."

"Um..."

Listening to Cocolia's seemingly gentle words, Kiana felt goosebumps rising all over her body.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

"You don't want me to be harmed... Do I know you?"

This feeling was strange.

What she was saying was indeed concern for me, but my intuition told me...

This smell... it's the smell of lies!

On the other end of the communicator, Cocolia spoke calmly.

"Of course, you don't know me, but I know your mother... or rather, I unilaterally know Cecilia Schariac."

"During that incident fourteen years ago, she saved me when I was almost attacked by a Honkai Beast."

"And your father, Siegfried, is actually a close friend of some of the elders in our organization."

"Whether it's because of your mother or your father, I don't want you to be harmed."

"Please believe me, I really sent people to protect you. I truly have no ill intentions towards the daughter of my savior."

Cocolia's words were sincere.

And it was true that fourteen years ago was also the time when Kiana's mother, Cecilia, died in battle.

Cecilia had saved many people during the Second Honkai Eruption, so Cocolia's words were actually not problematic.

But at this moment, Kiana felt that Cocolia was definitely not telling the whole truth.

She had no evidence.

But her Kaslana intuition told her that if she obediently followed Cocolia's words now, she would be in big trouble.

"Alright, since you say you know my old man, that's perfect."

"Cocolia... I'll call you that."

"Aunt Cocolia, since Mother Cecilia was your savior, I assume you won't refuse a small request from the daughter of your savior at this time."

Kiana, who had removed her mask to breathe, said to Cocolia on the other end of the communicator.

"As Siegfried Kaslana's daughter, I want to contact my old man."

"This request shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

I'll continue tomorrow. Time to sleep.

I saw in the comments section that some people felt I had messed up the plot and made it chaotic...

Alright, I'll write a little essay now to explain why I did what I did.

First, let me explain the reasons for modifying some of the original plot points.

As everyone knows, the game's story begins more than two years after the Third Honkai Outbreak. As for the actual events of the Third Honkai Outbreak, the official lore only provides the "Escape from Changkong" manga from years ago.

So, what did the "Escape from Changkong" chapter roughly cover?

The Trio were preparing to escape from Changkong City, which had already been hit by the Honkai. Kiana was severely injured by a Honkai Beast. Upon seeing this, Mei's suppressed Herrscher Persona awakened.

Meanwhile, within the Schicksal council, a group of high-ranking officials concluded that the Third Honkai Outbreak required an S-rank Valkyrie to suppress it, and simultaneously, the Far East Branch needed to dispatch Valkyries to buy time.

Then Theresa stated they should trust Major Himeko and calm down.

Finally, Himeko and the Hyperion were almost destroyed by the Herrscher of Thunder. After Kiana's power surged, she tore off the Herrscher of Thunder's wings.

A few days later, Himeko returned to the Far East Branch. Theresa chided Himeko for her recklessness, and the Trio enrolled in the academy.

This appears to be a perfectly normal plotline...

...Or not.

I know that criticizing miHoYo's story will inevitably lead to backlash, with people saying that if I'm making a living from this, I shouldn't criticize miHoYo, and that criticizing them is like sabotaging my own livelihood.

But story problems don't disappear just because I don't criticize them; they exist objectively.

The Honkai story from years ago was visibly unreliable and perfunctory. The new story has been done with more care, and the overall impression is much better. I think anyone who pays attention to the story can feel this, right?

As for the issues with "Escape from Changkong," let's analyze them one by one.

According to later established lore, Cocolia was the mastermind behind the Third Honkai Outbreak. So why didn't she appear in "Escape from Changkong"?
