Broadcasting Honkai Impact 3rd, I Choose to Expose Kiana in Arc City!

Otto: "?"

Beichen: "What's wrong?"

Otto: "Is there something wrong with this Stigmata? Why did you directly salvage it?"

Because he's my boss~

Of course, Beichen wouldn't say that directly. If he did, Otto would launch a full-scale search tomorrow.

He'd be in deep trouble... So, to avoid such an embarrassing situation, a reasonable and graceful answer would be best.

"Because this Stigmata is useless~"

"?"

Hearing this answer, Otto, who was off-screen, couldn't help but frown. For some reason, he felt a sense of being looked down upon...

"Alright, anyway, this is just a minor, insignificant interlude. All viewers, just watch quietly. Don't make a sound, especially you, viewer!"

After repeatedly warning Otto not to make a sound, Beichen finally relaxed and returned to the focused Supply interface.

Honestly, after getting Otto in a single ten-pull, he was genuinely worried that his boss would break through the dimensional wall... and come to greet him in the Supply.

Sigh This is nothing, just a small situation... With all my Crystals, there's no way I won't get even one Welt, right?

With that thought in mind, Beichen immediately clicked the focused Supply button and continued with another ten-pull...

Having learned from the previous experience, this time he didn't choose to mash the button frantically. Instead, he tapped the screen one by one...

Blue light... Purple light! Blue light... Blue light... Purple light!

Amidst the alternating flashes of two different lights, a weapon and a Stigmata appeared before him.

They were... Fairytale!? And Dirac (Middle)?

Hmm... Not bad?

Beichen looked at the two pieces of equipment, secretly happy in his heart.

Both of these were A-rank exclusive equipment for Seele. Once the event was completed, Seele would be available, and then he could use the ready-made equipment.

This way, when fighting Kallen in the Memory Boss, he wouldn't have to rely on the Starter Trio to brute force it...

"Wow, two more items! But how good are these two pieces of equipment?"

Seeing the streamer get two purples in a single ten-pull, Seele immediately exclaimed in surprise and asked.

After all, with the precedent of that Schicksal Archbishop, she wasn't sure if these two items would also be salvaged...

Beichen naturally understood Seele's concern, so he stated very decisively and swiftly:

"Don't worry, these two are much more useful than Otto."

"Really? That's great!"

The streamer and the fan were discussing harmoniously, and the atmosphere was very peaceful...

Until...

"?" A green bullet comment floated by. The wording was brief but clear in meaning.

This made the originally harmonious atmosphere a little awkward...

"Cough cough! Let's stop the idle chatter and continue! I don't believe I still can't get a Welt today!"

Afterward, Beichen once again clicked on the focused gacha interface.

Another round of flashing blue and purple lights ended...

Unfortunately, a Welt did appear... but it was Welt Yang (Top).

"Welt, are you refusing to leave the gacha pool, is that it!!!"

"Wow! Big brother, what's wrong with you... so scary!"

A blue bullet comment floated by, expressing Seele's confusion...

It could only be said that she wouldn't understand how painful a failed gacha pull is for an old Captain...

Let alone thirty pulls, even three pulls failing would be frustrating!

Beichen, failing three ten-pulls, was starting to lose his composure.

Although his Crystal reserves were indeed large, he couldn't withstand this kind of torment...

If it took another few ten-pulls to get Welt (Middle), how different would that be from hitting pity?

Tsk! Dawei, can you be a bit more helpful? Stop thinking about your broken villa and give it to me!

Finally, Beichen once again pressed the focused ten-pull button...

This time, he kept chanting in his heart, "Believe in Dawei, miracles happen, believe in Dawei, miracles happen, believe..."

Due to being too nervous, he didn't even dare to look at the gacha interface.

What if... the settlement screen showed the glorious beauty of Archbishop Otto again... Ugh, that would be too terrifying!

"Wow! Big brother, look! You finally came out!"

As Beichen was lost in thought, the blue bullet comments on the screen caught his eye.

"Came out? Wow! Really, hahaha! Awesome! Huh? Another Otto appeared!!!"

That's right, something Beichen could never have imagined happened.

The Welt he had been longing for... came out with Otto, and both were Middle position...

What else could he say? It was fate.

However, it wasn't a big problem, as long as they appeared, that was good enough. As for the newly appeared Otto~ Decompose him!

As the decomposition animation played, the freshly obtained [Otto Apocalypse (Middle)] was decomposed...

This feeling of decomposing him right in front of the Archbishop... felt pretty good?

Of course, Beichen only savored the moment. After decomposing the Stigmata, he immediately started talking to liven up the atmosphere:

"Alright everyone, my forty pulls have finally borne fruit. Next, I'll strengthen the Stigmata and then we can play Chapter 5. Wait a moment, wait a moment."

After speaking, he began to use materials to strengthen Ri Duck, whose weapon and Stigmata were already maxed out.

After the strengthening, the monsters appearing in Chapter 5 would be insignificant, making it impossible to get stuck.

"Alright!"

"Hurry up, I can't wait to know what happened in Chapter 5."

"Mhm... I agree."

Three bullet comments from viewers drifted across the live stream. Then, Beichen successfully strengthened Ri Duck to a new level.

After finishing, he immediately kept his promise and clicked on the first stage of Chapter 5.

As the stage loaded, the game first presented players with a snow-covered plain... and then began playing the recap CG.

The first half of this CG was basically the same as the summary at the end of Chapter 4, only the narration sounded more mature and gentle.

It wasn't until the latter half of the CG that it began to introduce the follow-up plot from the CG at the end of Chapter 4.

[Search for information related to "human brain accessing bio-chip".]

As the scene gradually appeared, the game played the response from Theresa and the Schicksal database.

After some negotiation, Theresa found a breakthrough.

[February 7, 2000? Damn it, it was at that time. Database, help me retrieve the relevant records.]

At Theresa's request, her small body began to flash with a red light and gradually disappear.

As Theresa disappeared, the camera focused on the half-open door.

At this moment, a girl wearing the White Comet's basic combat suit was peeking into the room, her body half-protruding from the door...

Chapter 59: Kiana Sisters' Siberian Family Reunion Trip (Not!)

"Huh? Isn't this Kiana?" As Kiana appeared at the end of the CG, a green bullet comment floated across the screen.

The owner of the bullet comment was "that guy" – Otto... who had encrypted 712 out of the 713 records found by Theresa.

"So that's how it is, she snuck in while Theresa was entering? Heh, curiosity is human nature, so I think... she will pay the price for it."

Pay the price... It seemed Archbishop Otto had already guessed that the protagonist of Chapter 5 of the main story was Kiana?

Beichen thought about it and felt it wasn't hard to guess. After all, the CG camera focused on Kiana leaning on the door and peeking into the database, but it didn't show Theresa's perspective after she disappeared.

Based on this game design alone, one could guess that the protagonist of the latter part of Chapter 5... was not Theresa.

[Eh? The screen is starting to disappear? I need to hurry and follow it...]

Under the gaze of everyone in the live stream, Kiana casually walked through the door of the Schicksal database.

Unfortunately, in her naivety, she didn't know what lay inside.

[Virtual space construction complete. Time: February 7, 2000, 3:00 PM.]

Just as Kiana walked in, the space she was in became virtualized and formatted. And during this animation transition, there was also a falling-like dynamic effect.

When Kiana finally fell, the red data flashes around her turned blue.

At this time, the AI's narration also finished its last sentence.

[Location: Siberia, Babylon Laboratory.]

"Siberia... Babylon Laboratory? Could it be that this is..."

After the AI's narration ended, a neatly typed bullet comment floated across the screen.

The sender of the bullet comment was Durandal, who had been calmly watching the stream and rarely spoke.

When Beichen saw her bullet comment, he realized that this Kiana had become suspicious, so he teased:

"This story tells us that remembering to close the door is a good habit. Haha! Shall we continue?"

"Mhm, please continue." Durandal said, and then fell silent.

Beichen didn't pay much attention to it and continued to play the main story.

However, what he didn't know was that outside the livestream room, Durandal was asking Otto for instructions.

Regarding whether she should continue to stay and watch the livestream...

"You haven't reached the mission objective, Arc City, have you?"

"No."

"Then it's understandable that you'd want to relax a bit before then."

Otto, uncharacteristically, didn't obstruct her. He even displayed a surprisingly accommodating attitude during their communication.

This greatly surprised Durandal, who had been prepared to argue her case.

The Archbishop... actually agreed?

"This... why did you agree, Archbishop?"

"I have no intention of interfering with your decision, Durandal. I merely need to remind you that pursuing answers comes with a corresponding price. Whatever consequences arise from what you are about to see will be borne entirely by you alone."

"...Yes, I understand."

And while the two were conversing off-screen, the game finally entered its gameplay interface.

Kiana's story dialogue popped up on the screen.

[Hey! Hey! Is anyone there? Damn it, the communicator has no signal either. What is this place I've stumbled into? I was following Theresa, but now I don't know where she went.]

Since there was no one else in the vast snowy plains, the entire dialogue consisted of Kiana talking to herself.

[All I can see is that tall tower. Oh well, I'll head over there to check it out first.]

Perhaps talking to herself was too boring, so Kiana decided to head towards the tower.

Subsequently, the game's mission prompt began to guide the player forward.

Beichen, controlling Ri Duck, sped through the Siberian snowfields. He knew that in this kind of open-world map, there was no benefit to fighting monsters that spawned randomly, so he bypassed any Honkai Beasts and Zombies he encountered along the way, avoiding unnecessary battles.
