Honkai Exposed, Iconic Elysian Realm Scenes at the Start

Even if Theresa had healed her, Fu Hua would have accepted it, but it just had to be Otto.

Raiden Mei: "It was Otto? I really couldn't have guessed that."

Kiana: "Why? Wasn't it because of his betrayal that Class Monitor got severely injured? Why would he help Class Monitor recover? Isn't he afraid of being beaten up by the recovered Immortal Crimson Bird?"

Bronya: "Uh, I can't quite understand that line of reasoning either."

Fu Hua: "Director, what do you think?"

Theresa: "..."

What could she think?

Did they expect her to jump up and look?!

Otto was the first answer she'd ruled out. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find a reason for Otto to help treat Fu Hua. She had just been proven wrong by the System, and she hadn't even processed it yet.

Elysia: "Otto healed Hua? Things aren't as simple as they seem. Could it be that his next plan requires Hua's help to be executed?"

Theresa: "I think that's the only explanation that makes sense."

Pardofelis: "But if Hua wakes up, isn't Otto afraid that Hua will smash his head to pieces in anger? He killed her and then treated her. When Hua recovers her full strength, won't Otto have created a monster for himself?"

Fu Hua: "I can't fathom his thoughts."

Bishop Otto's move this time was truly perplexing, practically testing his own life.

It had confused everyone.

[Fu Hua receives punishment: Lose one-tenth of her arm strength.]

A slight stinging sensation spread through Fu Hua's arm, making it feel tingly and a bit weak.

With the strength to uproot mountains and a spirit that could cover the world, losing a mere tenth of her arm strength wouldn't affect Fu Hua's ability to use Inch-Punch: Skull Splitter at all.

Pardofelis: "You say that, but that's one-tenth of Hua's arm strength! Ten... no, a hundred of me wouldn't be able to match that!"

Fu Hua: "It's not that exaggerated."

Elysia: "Exactly, our Pardofelis is also very strong. At least you're the only one who could steal things from Chakravartin without anyone noticing."

Chakravartin: "?!?"

Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia, you're selling me out! I was just helping Brother Jie clear out his inventory. He's new here and not too familiar with Death Space, so I thought I'd help him deal with some clutter!"

The cat still had no idea how she'd been exposed.

She had even used the Invisibility Cloak. It was supposed to be undetectable, so how did she get caught? Why?

It didn't make sense!

Kiana: "On this point alone, I truly admire Pardofelis. She easily accomplished something we wouldn't even dare to think about."

Theresa: "Although her attitude of admitting fault afterward was also very swift."

Pardofelis: "Hehe, as the old saying goes, 'He who understands the times is a wise man.' We can't make Brother Jie angry, can we?"

Chakravartin: "...Boring."

In short, there was nothing they could do about the cat.

As Pardofelis lowered her head to apologize, she suddenly noticed the screen beginning to change.

Pardofelis: "Look, you guys, that's Sister Hua!"

[In the screen, Fu Hua is lying in a medical pod. Liquid flows over her skin, healing her injuries until she is fully recovered.

However, her consciousness begins to stir.

"Hey, wake up. You've slept for too long."

The sudden voice left the consciousness within the body bewildered.

"Hey, don't play dumb. Times have changed. Your brain is completely unharmed. Quickly flip through your memory banks and figure out who you are. We still have a lot to do."

"Who are you?" the consciousness within the body asked.

"I'm your Id, okay? The most primal and true you."

"I am your Superego. Don't worry, you're not schizophrenic or crazy. We are you."

"Your Ego hasn't been born yet because you don't know who you are. Hurry up and recall your memories. Without any one of us, you can't become your true self."

Memories flood into Fu Hua's mind.

Her original family, the sudden Honkai that destroyed everything, the departure of Captain Himiko...

In her memories, there was a lone girl standing in the biting wind, a warrior clad in armor with a golden sword, a cold and ruthless assassin, and an immortal hermit.

Memories poured in like a tide, as if they had been lurking, waiting for a command.

She remembered. She remembered everything.

She was Fu Hua! The Immortal Crimson Bird who guarded Shenzhou and fought against the Honkai!!!]

Kiana: "Monitor, why do I feel like you've lost your memory from being shot? No, wait, even if you remembered all your past memories, you can't really call it amnesia."

Something's not right, very not right.

It was as if Otto's shot had messed with Fu Hua's brain, making her forget who she was.

And then a few so-called "self," "id," and "superego" were born. It doesn't even seem like schizophrenia.

Chapter 66: Good People Get Shot At?

Bronya: "Monitor, could it be that Bishop Otto really shot your brain into a bad state?"

Fu Hua: "Impossible. After I fused with the Hypervariable Factor, my brain is vastly different from ordinary people. Even if my head were shot, I wouldn't die."

Fu Hua: "As for my brain being damaged, that's hard to say. After all, Otto was the one who healed me. He might have left some contingency measures."

Kiana: "That sounds so sinister and despicable."

After all, that person was Otto. He let the Herrscher of the Void escape during the Second Honkai War, wanted her to awaken again, and even backstabbed Fu Hua.

If he didn't have a scheme, it would be even more suspicious.

Pardofelis: "Then what are these 'self,' 'id,' and 'superego'? Could it be that Hua really has schizophrenia?"

Elysia: "A mental-type Fusion Warrior developing schizophrenia is quite reasonable."

Fu Hua: "Elysia, please don't tease me. I don't even know what's happening myself. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

Back on Mount Tai Xu, Fu Hua was also severely injured like this, and it took her a full twenty years to recover.

She didn't encounter anything like this back then.

And looking at the footage, it seems like she truly brought everything to light before slowly recalling it.

In Fu Hua's memories, the only one who could do such a thing, with both the motive and the capability, was likely Otto.

After all, after she was backstabbed, the only one who had the opportunity to interact with her was Otto. To prevent her from seeking revenge, it was entirely possible for him to employ some measures.

Immortal Crimson Bird never considered the worst in people, but the stab from Otto's betrayal had indeed left a significant shadow on her.

Himeko Murata: "I suddenly remembered, weren't Fu Hua's subsequent actions very strange? She caused chaos at Schicksal HQ and even fought Kevin. Could it be that her brain started acting up then, and she turned dark?"

Bronya: "I agree with Teacher Himeko's statement. Otherwise, the Monitor wouldn't have attacked me."

At that time, I was happily cruising around in my Heavy Machinery Rabbit.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure knocked me down without even a greeting.

Do you know how large Bronya's psychological trauma is?

Fu Hua: "If we follow this hypothesis, then my subsequent actions can be explained. However, the sudden appearance of 'self,' 'id,' and 'superego' still raises doubts."

Pardofelis: "Could it be that Hua is going to turn into something like Vill-V?"

Fu Hua: "Pardo, I think you could choose a slightly more fitting description."

What do you mean, "turn into something like Vill-V"?

Even if the so-called "self," "id," and "superego" could indeed influence the main personality, it wouldn't be like Vill-V's state of having multiple personalities integrated into one and being able to switch between them.

Elysia: "It's a shame there aren't any professional mental-type experts around now, and Su and Apponia aren't here. Otherwise, they could surely help Hua solve this problem."

Fu Hua: "Su is fine, but as for Apponia... I'll pass."

The Divine Tone Precepts from back then were enough for her. Fu Hua didn't want to be implanted with that deadly thing by Apponia again.

Didn't you see how Chakravartin, originally such a warm and hospitable sunny boy, became more and more determined to kill Apponia after being implanted with the Precept of 'Thou Shalt Not Harm the Innocent'?

Chakravartin: "Apponia... Damn it, unforgivable!!!"

Theresa: "Chakravartin is at it again."

Kiana: "Didn't someone say earlier that the dark-hearted Monitor and Chakravartin were similar? Chakravartin is much more volatile, although the Monitor's actions weren't much different."

Raiden Mei: "What I want to know now is, if the Monitor wakes up, will Bishop Otto still be alive?"

No matter how good her temper, being backstabbed like that, at least she should crush his Soul Steel face and beat him up, right?

Bronya: "Wait, 'self,' 'id,' and 'superego' don't seem to be Bishop Otto's contingency. They're starting to incite the Monitor to beat up Otto!"

Everyone's gaze returned to the screen. At this point, Fu Hua had already shattered the medical pod.

[In the screen, Fu Hua threw out a punch, and the liquid enveloping her all flowed out, taking away all the pressure, leaving Fu Hua with only a sense of clarity and comfort.

She gently stepped out of the medical pod, her feet touching the ground.

Her hands and fists were filled with power. Fu Hua clenched her fists, her body in an unprecedentedly good state, as if possessing endless strength.

She remembered the last time she was this healthy – five hundred years ago? Perhaps even earlier.

It's been too long, far too long.

"My old friend, you've finally woken up."

A familiar voice sounded, and Fu Hua looked towards the door, seeing a blonde man smiling.

Self: "He is Otto Apocalypse."

Id: "Your relationship with him is rather complicated."]

Superego: "He claimed to be your friend, yet he deceived you."

"Aren't you going to greet me? Well, it's fine. After all, you've just woken up and still require continuous observation and treatment. Although the examination results show you've fully recovered, you haven't regained consciousness. I'm always worried something might go wrong."

Bishop Otto smiled, as if he hadn't been the one to stab Fu Hua in the back earlier.

"You won't blame me, old friend, will you? Do you... still recognize me?"

"Why am I here?" Prompted by the Id within, Fu Hua asked.

"Because I don't want you to die."

Otto chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"We've known each other for a long time, old friend. I know you won't die from a head injury, but I don't want to waste another twenty years.

"Ultimately, you owe me nothing, yet I shot you. So I brought you back and healed all your wounds."

Kiana: "Nonsense, he's talking complete nonsense! Because I shot you in the head, I brought you back to be healed? What kind of logic is that?"

It sounded just like someone saying, "I'll beat you up first, and then we can negotiate calmly."

What's more, Otto presented his case so convincingly, without a hint of shame.

If they hadn't seen Otto shoot Fu Hua in the head with their own eyes, everyone would have almost believed he was an innocent good person.

Bronya: "Bronya is now certain. Bishop Otto definitely wants to use the class representative, which is why he's helping her recover. He's even planned how to negotiate with the class representative."

Theresa: "No way, he shot Fu Hua in the head, and Grandpa is still thinking about negotiations?"

Fu Hua: "Frankly, right now, I just want to crush Otto's Soul Steel face."

Negotiations? An apology? If apologies were useful, what need would there be for laws?

Why was it me who ended up with a gun pointed at my head?

Does being a good person mean you get a gun pointed at you?
