MTL - Honkai Q&A, Starting with Kiana-Chapter 280
"Amber, you are not my real child, you are closer to a descendant of the same race, right?"
"The relationship is actually closer. Strictly speaking, it's closer than a biological child, but it's not wrong to understand it according to what you mean, Karen."
As soon as Amber reminded him, Otto also reacted, and took the trouble to correct Karen's mistakes.
"Great." Karen breathed a sigh of relief. She was still a pure girl, and Otto was not a pervert with a twisted personality. Double happiness.
"...Karen, don't you have anything to say?" After a moment of silence, Otto took the initiative to point out the point that Karen had overlooked: "Amber is an artificial human created with your genes. The human experiment you hate the most."
When the Black Death was prevalent, in order to make an antidote, when Karen discovered Otto's secret human experimentation, the bond between the two parties directly opened an indelible rift.
Now, Karen didn't mention this matter at all, which made him very puzzled.
"...Human experiments or something, to be honest, I still can't accept it, but at that time, I was already dead, and I couldn't stop you. The matter has come to this point. Now that it has happened, there is nothing you can do, Otto. Just pay attention in the future, I will take good care of you, and I won't let you continue to make mistakes."
Karen's expression was slightly stiff, like a child whose window paper had been pierced, rebelling against the elder's censure.
"So, let's get this over with, I'm hungry again, Otto, help me cook something, your cooking skills are delicious—"
After Karen's words, the lounge fell into a deep immersion. Karen scratched the plate with a knife and fork blankly. Amber tried to hide her breath and pretended to be a transparent person, while Otto continued to shake the pot. .
When the dinner table was full of dishes, Otto took off his apron, sat opposite Karen, stared at her quietly, and spoke after a long time.
"Karen, Amber's experimental code name is A303, other experimental items..."
"Shut up! Otto..."
Otto's words were interrupted by Kallen, she scolded.
"Why don't you keep silent, you didn't explain, and I didn't understand, isn't it good to keep our relationship...why do you remind me, I...I...I don't I don't want to know..."
Karen didn't move, her mouth was whispering, her eyes became red, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
She didn't understand.
Did she really not understand?
As I said before, Kallen is just naive, not stupid.
As early as Karen learned that Otto was conducting human experiments in order to make the Black Death.
As for what her best friend did, Karen seriously and carefully studied it. Otto is her best friend. No matter what he did wrong, she must remember her sins.
After going to the underworld in the future, he can also prove his achievements for his friends and reduce his sins.
Yes, that was what Karen thought at the time. Although I disagree with you, you are still my best friend.
Then, until now, the rebirth of the dead, and the performance of retrieving the soul of the dead from the underworld, is even more incredible than curing the Black Death.
Calculating the two, even though Karen doesn't know how many wrong things Otto did in order to resurrect her, it must be a fact that she cannot accept.
Chapter 544 Kallen: Please, stop talking
"I... have only you as my only friend left, I, I'm afraid, afraid to go back to being alone, in fear of surviving, I... I don't want to lose you again, Otto."
To **** the black box of destiny and go to Shenzhou and the extreme east alone, it is really not a small predicament for a wealthy lady like Karen.
Five hundred years ago, she still had the obsession to install the black box to support her so that she would not collapse.
Five hundred years later, she is just an ordinary person who has lost everything, knows nothing, and only has one friend left.
The Mandate of Destiny records how many of the Saintess Kallen spread by the world were arranged and beautified by Otto.
Before the saint, Kallen was just a girl.
Just like Joan of Arc back then, she became the saint who saved France from a village girl. She didn't extravagantly seek the title of saint, but just worked hard for her faith.
Kaslana is a hero, and Kallen inherited Kaslana's spirit and is a true hero.
But before being a hero, before being a saint, Kallen was just a girl.
"So, Otto... please, don't let me know, I don't want my only friend, to leave me, please, let us go back to the past, you guide the way forward, I come As a blade to open the way, continue the way we live, we continue to live as before, okay..."
"..."
Otto opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.
What did he see, what did he hear.
What humble words, on weekdays, he even responded with a disdainful attitude.
However, these words were spoken by his saint, his Kallen, in front of him.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, this is not you!"
Otto wanted to growl, and then... he saw Kallen vulnerable.
Ah, the bishop suddenly reacted.
Oh, not counting the time of death, Kallen turned out to be a girl in her twenties.
"...hehehehahahahahahaha—"
Otto laughed, the laughter became more and more out of control, hoarse, as if he wanted to vent all the heavy pressure accumulated in his heart, he laughed heartbreakingly.
Laughed even tears.
"I'm so stupid, so stupid...I didn't realize it until you reminded me, I'm such a fool..."
What kind of saint, what kind of leader of the spirit of destiny, what kind of pillar of the new era...all of them are just beautified by himself for his own entertainment.
Kallen was just that innocent and kind girl from beginning to end.
At the same time, he is also his close friend...
Since it's a close friend, it's not surprising to hear a friend's confession, right?
"Karen, Amber, she's not the only clone."
"no, do not want......"
"Over the years, I have used your genetic map to create hundreds of clones..."
"Please, stop talking?!"
Karen covered her ears and created thousands of her own descendants, which was shocking, but what worried her even more was how much Otto's subsequent words would make her collapse, so please, don't say any more Yes, Otto...
Otto thought that it would take a lot of courage and awareness to repent in front of Karen.
Even if I am in front of others, I can tell my plan and the sacrifices involved without changing my face.
However, when Karen was really in front of him and he realized the relationship between the two parties, it didn't matter.
"There are only two of them left now. One is A303 Amber. As my assistant, he is also the executor of the destiny under one person and under ten thousand people."
"And the other A300 Teresa, she is very similar to you. At that time, I thought she was your reincarnation. Although I denied the speculation later, I still put part of my longing for you on her. I raised her as my granddaughter, and Teresa is also the next archbishop of destiny."
Otto took out a pendant from his pocket, opened the cover of the pendant, and inside was a photo, a lovely photo of Theresa opening her arms for a hug.
"After the child Vera, she is my newly adopted child. She is very cute, she is very similar to you."
Amber pursed her lips.
"Yeah... yeah, she's cute."
Karen barely held up her smile, took the pendant in Otto's hand, and forced herself to forget the fact that there were thousands of experimental subjects and only two survived.
The next moment, she fell into an ice cave.
"They're dead."
Otto still maintained a smile and told the truth with a smile.
"Dead..." Kallen was stunned, raised her head subconsciously, and looked directly at Otto's smile: "Why, is it because of cloning or something, which has an impact on lifespan, or is it a sacrifice to fight against Houkai... .”
Karen tried to pull out a smile, but she couldn't do it. Perhaps, she subconsciously guessed something bad...
She wants to deny, she wants to forget, she wants to run away, Kallen, she...don't want to hear any more.
That is thousands of living lives!
"I killed them," said Otto.
"Otto, this joke is not funny at all, I'm going to be angry..."
Karen clenched and loosened her fists from time to time, her chest fluctuated, and her pupils dilated sharply.
"Yes, I killed them." Otto repeated word for word.
Kallen couldn't deny it anymore.
"why?!"
"Otto, why..."
"Five hundred years, I don't know you anymore, Otto..."
Her voice was hoarse and weak, but it was a thousand lives alive.
Karen thought that she was mentally prepared in advance and could accept any bad news from Otto.
But in fact, she was wrong, very wrong.
The familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of me, after more than five hundred years, the familiar shadow in the memory has long since faded away, and she is no longer the best friend in the memory.
In this strange time.
After resurrection, she really lost everything.
"why?"
Karen asked again, and her actions were no longer as casual as before. At the same time, the aristocratic etiquette engraved in her bones made it difficult to find fault.
This time, she looked at Otto as if she were looking at a stranger.
"It's a simple reason, because they didn't meet my standards."
Otto laughed, silently.
Stranger, good stranger.
Because he is a stranger, he can talk freely.
Because he is a stranger, he can be reckless.
Because he is a stranger, he can spend as much as he wants.
But why, why is my heart so sore and painful.
Chapter 545 What do you think of life! Otto!
"My original intention of creating them was to revive you from beginning to end, but then I discovered that no matter how many clones of you I created, bionics, even if they imported your memory, they are not you, Kallen , you are unique, an angel that can never be duplicated—"
"Is there any other use for those bad waste products that have no value besides destruction?"
"Anyway, the process of making them is very simple. Just press the start button lightly, and the computer will automatically carry out the embryo culture. The money spent is less than ten thousand, and the time spent is only half a month. Look, the card Lian, think about it, what a simple operation and what a negligible cost..."
The resurrection of the dead, the miracle mastered by the gods, the means for mortals to master the power of gods, and the price required for halfway experiments are all that simple.
Otto spoke more and more vigorously, and finally put his hands on Karen's shoulders, and Soul Gang's body flushed a little because of the surge of consciousness.
Snapped-
Karen slapped Otto on the face, a red mark made Otto look so ridiculous at the moment, like a clown.
That's right, the person I had longed to see in my obsession appeared in front of me, but I insisted on pushing him away.
And what could be more like a clown?
"What have you...did, what have you taken your life for! Otto!"
Karen's hoarse and painful roar was conveyed throughout the lounge. The hope in her eyes had long since disappeared. She felt so sad when she saw her friend who had become a stranger.
She grabbed Otto by the collar, pulled him in front of her, stared at this expression with a sneer,
"Do you even know what you are doing?! Is human life just a number in your eyes?! You enjoy this kind of thing very much. Like a god, you create lives at will and throw them away at will! Looking at their ignorant eyes, killing them mercilessly, do you... still have a conscience, no—”
"Otto Apocalypse! Answer me!!"
"Why, you made me lose my only friend, why did you make me and you give up even our relationship as strangers, why did you let me erase the possibility of finding my friend back, Otto, you just Do you want to **** me off so much..."
Karen buried her head in Otto's chest and burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent the fear of death, the loneliness after resurrection, and the grief of betrayal by her friends.
The wet touch on his chest made Otto understand that Karen was crying again.
