"A gag without a person, Otto is a true man..."
Lu Ze walked out of the door with a sigh. He had paid everything for his beloved. He asked himself, could he do it?
Could he give everything for his beloved?
He didn't know, nor did he want to know. Even if that day came, his choice... would be centered around them.
As the video ended, the giant screen in the sky began to play content for the new version, including new storylines, new characters, and everything else.
However, he was no longer in the mood to watch these. A transparent system panel appeared before him. He looked at it with some surprise. Could this damned system be giving out benefits again?
The system didn't say anything, it just gave him an orange summon scroll. Although he didn't know what it could summon, he threw it into the air.
The orange summon scroll swayed in the air and soon drifted to the floor. With a flash of light, two figures appeared.
"This is...? Shouldn't I be dead?"
The young man silently observed everything. The strange environment, the unfamiliar scenery, and this somewhat fragile world. Where was this place?
"Otto, long time no see... I don't know what to say. I didn't expect it to be you this time..."
Hearing the voice, his green eyes looked over. He was still holding a young girl in his arms, a girl who was still unconscious.
"Oh? Lu Ze?! Why are you here? Could it be that my arrival in this world is your doing?"
Just as he was about to answer, the girl in his arms also woke up. Kallen opened her eyes and quietly looked at the handsome man.
"Heh, long time no see, Otto."
The latter's body trembled noticeably. For the girl in his arms, he had done countless wicked deeds, silently bearing the name of a villain, all to bring this matter to a close with that name.
He hadn't expected that the two of them would have a chance to meet again. Perhaps... this wasn't so bad?
Living the simple life he had imagined, no longer participating in schemes, no longer doing bad deeds, just being an unknown person. As long as she was by his side, all of this would be worth it.
"You two just reunited, you must have a lot to talk about, right? Talk for a while, I won't be a distraction."
Lu Ze walked step by step to the nearby railing, gazing into the distance, looking at the scenery of Teyvat, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief.
Although he knew this day would come sooner or later, acceptance might also be a kind of release. Wasn't his current life pretty good? With his beloved by his side, and... *cough!*
A sharp pain suddenly struck his heart. Lu Ze coughed twice quickly, covering his mouth with his right hand, trying not to make too much noise. But when he let go, he saw a pool of black blood on his hand.
"What's going on? I don't remember being sick? How could this happen?"
His mind was filled with questions, completely interrupting his thoughts. Should he tell everyone about this? Or just forget it? If he told them, it would surely make them worry.
It was best if this was just an accident.
He quickly washed away the black blood on his hand and turned to look. The two of them were smiling under the sun, like a sweet young couple in a campus romance, making people inevitably envious.
Even passers-by were somewhat shocked. Was that... from the PV just now?
As the news spread, soon, a large crowd gathered at the Honkai Impact 3rd experience store. They had come upon hearing the news, and a majority of them were girls.
After all, shipping couples was something that likely happened in any world, right?
They also liked the Otto and Kallen pairing. Although Otto had caused them a lot of trouble in the game, the game was just a game, and reality was reality.
You couldn't go and kill someone in real life because of something in a game, could you? Who would be that idle and have nothing better to do.
"Kiss! Kiss!"
Someone suddenly shouted, and others joined in. Everyone was chanting, which made Kallen blush slightly. Otto also placed his hands on Kallen's shoulders.
"May I?"
"Mhm..."
Having received permission, Otto's head slowly lowered. Their lips eventually met.
Our Otto had finally fulfilled the regret in his heart. His thousands of years of effort had not been in vain. He had created a new possibility for them.
Lu Ze, standing behind them, let out a soft laugh. Perhaps, the grudges of the past could be let go of at this moment.
It didn't matter who was right or wrong. From different perspectives, there was no right or wrong, only different starting points. As someone once said, there were no absolute villains in Honkai Impact 3rd, only standpoints.
Besides, Otto was just trying to achieve his goal. If it were him, he might not hesitate either.
But still? Letting go was letting go, but he still needed to get some revenge, otherwise, all the suffering wouldn't have been for nothing? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The people inside the store, drawn by the commotion outside, all poked their heads out. Seeing the familiar figures, the expressions of the three from the "Imperial Three" were all different.
"It's really this guy? Fine, fine, it's good that they're together, but I absolutely will not live under the same roof as him!"
Kiana didn't want to say anything, but she absolutely did not want to live under the same roof as him! Seeing that face, she couldn't help but want to punch him.
Mei and Bronya exchanged glances and smiled lightly. They had already let go of the past, but if they were asked to live under the same roof with him, they probably wouldn't be willing either.
Of course, as for Kallen, that wasn't impossible. But Otto, forget it.
"Alright, everyone! Hurry up and go back, don't block the entrance. Don't you have anything else to do?"
Lu Ze started his "get lost" mode. Soon, everyone at the entrance was cleared out.
He then turned to look at the two of them. Kallen was tightly clinging to Otto's left arm. They had been childhood sweethearts, perhaps they had long harbored feelings for each other?
Looking up at Otto, Lu Ze raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.
Otto looked somewhat bewildered, but he gave a slight smile and seemed to recall something, saying:
"If this is enough to vent your anger, then hit me. I know I caused a lot of problems, and everyone here, more or less, was manipulated by me. I deserve this, but please don't treat Kallen like this. This was all me."
Kallen, who had been tightly hugging his left arm, quickly spread her arms and shielded Otto. She wouldn't allow anyone to hit him like this in front of her.
