Chapter 482 I’m Not Smart

"Hmm..."

The girl turned over in a daze, and what responded to her was the "crackling" sound that only a pile of plastic would make when squeezed.

This sound made her somewhat sober. Although she seemed to have been sleeping for a long time, she still felt a heavy sleepiness. She couldn't help yawning, but with a "squeak", a dirty, oily and furry meat ball drilled into the girl's mouth.

"Woo woo woo woo!"

The girl stared at the darkness in despair, until a second later she remembered that she still had hands, and she grabbed a slippery and long tail in time.

"Woo woo woo stinky rat, come here!"

The mouse just saw a warm hole in front of it, so it instinctively tried to drill it, but the girl didn't expect it to grab its tail directly. In fear, it struggled madly inside, and its small claws quickly scratched the girl's mouth and tongue. The girl was also struggling, holding the mouse's tail tightly, and she didn't dare to let go even if it hurt, for fear that the mouse would drill directly into her throat.

So the girl pulled the mouse's hand harder and harder, and the mouse struggled more and more frantically. In this seemingly unpredictable tug-of-war, the girl was unexpectedly at a disadvantage. At first, the mouse showed half of its body outside the girl's mouth, but after a stalemate of ten seconds, only its buttocks were left, and even its two hind legs were drilled in.

"Woo woo woo woo!"

The more frightened the girl was, the tighter she clenched her palm, but her hand slowly slid towards the end of the mouse's tail. She could feel that the tail she was holding was getting thinner and thinner, so she became more and more frightened, and the dead cycle was reached again.

"Meow--"

A cat's cry sounded in her ears. Before the girl could react, she felt a hard whisker prick her face, and then her mouth was empty. The mouse had been taken out by a "third party".

"Saved..."

Kiana's head fell back and hit an empty plastic bottle.

Only then did she realize that the surrounding environment was wrong, and her sense of smell, which she had ignored before, finally recovered. She only felt that the stench around her was extremely bad, and she jumped up directly because she couldn't stand it.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

Kiana's iron head successfully pushed the lid of the trash can open, but the lid hit the wall and fell back again, like a slap on her head, knocking her back into the trash can.

"Ah..."

Kiana sighed, seemed to have given up struggling, just turned her head and spit the saliva stained with rats in her mouth into the darkness.

The memory gradually became clearer from blurry, but the more so, the less she wanted to move.

"Squad leader? Squad leader! Squad leader... are you still there?"

Her call was not responded to. She didn't know whether it was because she had consumed too much power to help her open the space rift and fell asleep, or whether the figure she saw at the last moment and the words she said in her mind were just fantasies at that moment.

She couldn't tell.

"Kiana, hold on, we will come to you."

Kiana shrank her body into the garbage dump. Although it was a bit smelly and dirty here, and there were occasionally rats, cockroaches and other things drilling around, but under so much garbage, at least... it wasn't cold.

This was not the place where she fell from the space crack. She even forgot where she had just landed. She seemed to be moving her legs in a daze. She didn't know what happened and walked from the street full of neon lights to this unattended trash can.

Thinking of this, she shrank back into the garbage pile, and her whole body was half buried in the garbage.

Above her head was a darkness with nothing. Unlike the night, there was nothing in the true sense, and there was no trace of "space". The darkness was tightly in front of Kiana's eyes, as if it would fall down and crush her in the next moment, or something strange would break through the darkness, such as a sharp knife, directly piercing her heart - ah, this kind of death sounds pretty good.

When the sound of cars whizzing past on the road reached here, only a vague reverberation was left. In addition, there was only the "rustling" sound of various indescribable insects and animals crawling in her ears.

This is a world completely isolated from the outside world, a world that belongs exclusively to garbage. Recalling another memory that was awakened in her mind, Kiana felt that it would be better for her to stay in this world, more...

in line with her identity.

After waking up, the consciousness of the Second Herrscher seemed to be silent, but that memory was intertwined with the past few years as Kiana.

It's really ironic that the stinky dad she had been looking for was the one who left after her arm was cut off by the rampage. The mother she had been looking for, Cecilia Shaniat, also died at her hands.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is... whether it's the stinky dad or the mother, everything is fake.

She is not Kiana Kaslana, but K423. Even the name Silin is closer to her self than Kiana.

Lies are indeed the most annoying things in this world. Before being exposed, lies can indeed create a satisfying illusion, allowing people to stay in it comfortably and spend every fake but happy day. Unfortunately...

There are almost no lies in this world that can never be exposed. But when the lie is proven, the false happiness and joy that were obtained in the illusion in the past will be turned into pain that can never be escaped.

She is the Second Herrscher, the culprit who caused the Great Collapse of Siberia sixteen years ago, directly or indirectly killing countless people, including Bronya's parents.

And even this time...how many people did she kill?

She didn't know. In fact, she could find a place to charge her phone and read the news to get a rough number, but how could she dare to read it?

"Meow-"

The cat from before came to her again at some point. Kiana didn't want to pay attention to it, but the cat probably thought that her mouth could give birth to mice, so it stuck out its wet tongue and pointed it at her face. A burst of licking.

Kiana raised her hand, but put it down again within two seconds.

"Forget it...as long as you are happy..."

She had no feelings for cats at first. She couldn't say she liked them, but she couldn't say she hated them either. However, when St. Freya collected the admission information form, she was too lazy to fill it out and handed it over directly. Later, she learned that Himeko had filled in Neko in the preference column for her, so that the Valkyrie armor customized for her came with Marked by a cat.

Now it seems that it is getting more and more ironic - in my memory, the girl named Xilin must have liked cats very much.

Although the cat kept licking her face, she didn't know if there was something wrong with her sense of smell. Kiana felt that the cat's saliva... well, it wasn't just saliva, it seemed that the whole cat was exuding a stray cat smell. There will be a fragrance.

She raised her hand again. The long period of hunger left her with little strength. Didn't she almost lose to a mouse just now? Although Herrscher does only need to rely on Honkai energy to survive, the habit she has developed as a human for a long time still allows her body to independently regulate hormone secretion when she has not eaten for a long time. Simply put, it enters an energy-saving mode.

So her arms moved very slowly. With the sensitivity of cats, generally speaking, they should have a chance to react and avoid it, but this one didn't.

Kiana only felt like she was hugging a soft and warm meat ball.

"Ah - ah - such a fat cat must be a domestic one. Did you just get lost?"

Kiana's first reaction was to send Nyaoko home, but she just raised her head from the garbage pile and lay back down decadently.

"I'm sorry, kitty, I'm a sinner and I can't go out on the street to take you home. Your master must have cared about you because he raised you so fat and washed you so fragrantly. He will definitely come to find you, but in Before that...can you...stay with me..."

There was a cry in the girl's tone. She was a sinner who could not be seen in the light. If possible, she really wanted to die once and for all. If he dies, the power of Herrscher of the Sky will no longer cause harm to the world - or so he thinks.

But on second thought, she didn't even know how to kill herself. There is no weapon on him. It would be nice if he had one. As long as he puts the muzzle of the gun into his mouth and pulls the trigger, death... shouldn't be too painful, right? The rest, whether it is jumping off a building, hanging, or diving... it will all feel very painful.

The Valkyrie obviously shouldn't be afraid of pain, but some distant memory came to her mind, making her unconsciously want to stay away from pain.

"Meow?"

The cat seemed to be able to understand her words, or maybe it was just attracted by the salty breath of tears. It gently licked the tears from the corners of Kiana's eyes, then curled up into a ball and leaned next to her head.

"Thanks."

The corners of his eyes that had just been licked clean and still had cat saliva remained were once again covered with tears.

"Meow?"

The cat seemed to be wondering why the human in front of him couldn't stop crying. In its memory, its master had never cried.

But just when it was about to stick out its tongue to lick again, a small and ethereal voice echoed in the alley outside the trash can. It seemed to realize something and trembled all over.

Kiana seemed to have heard it too, not to mention that after a while, the voice gradually became clearer.

"Canned food? Canned food! Oh, where have you gone? We're here to find someone. How come you lost yourself before they found you?"

"Canned? Canned!"

"Come out! We can smell you!"

"Wow--"

It seemed like someone had pushed open the window.

"What are you doing? You are still shouting at night. Are you annoyed?"

"Ah hahaha... I'm sorry, aunt... ah, no eldest sister, aren't we looking for cats? Hahaha..."

"Bang!"

The window seemed closed.

Kiana found that the cat next to her began to dig a hole next to her head, as if it wanted to get under the garbage.

"Can, is that you?"

Kiana tapped the fat cat's head with her index finger and asked softly.

"Meow!"

Can Can responded softly and rubbed her face again.

"You don't want to go back..."

"Ha! Come on out, Can, we hear your voice!"

The lid of the trash can was suddenly opened, and the old-fashioned voice-activated light bulb on the wall nearby emitted a warm light, turning all the darkness in the alley into a hazy yellow. And the girl seemed to use too much force when lifting the lid, so that the hood on her head fell back, revealing an unusual head——

"Ah! Ghost!"

"Ah! Someone is dead!"

"Clang-"

"What's the fuss about? It's endless, isn't it?"

"Bang!"

The world suddenly became silent. Whether it was Pado, Kiana or Can Can, they all bit their mouths tightly and did not speak. The time for voice-activated lights is over, and along with silence comes heavy darkness.

"Woo——"

A motorcycle passed by at high speed on the road outside the alley, leaving behind the sound of the motor that woke up the lights again. This time, the two girls were finally able to look at each other with a calmer attitude.

Of course, the main reason was that Kiana sat up from the trash can. The person who could sit up could not be a corpse. Moreover, when the lights came on again, Pado finally recognized the girl who he almost thought was a dead body. This is the goal of my trip.

So, when Kiana was still staring at the cat ears on her head in confusion, Pado first caught the can that jumped out of the trash can, patted it on the head gently, and used He spoke in a gentle tone full of disgust:

"Oh, you are almost like a pig again, and you always like to run around. As a punishment, you are not allowed to stand on my head today!"

Padu put the can on her shoulder and weighed its weight... It wasn't really a punishment, but it would break her neck if such a heavy can jumped on her head, right?

Just as he was thinking this, his head hit hard and his neck made a "click" sound.

"can!"

"Meow..."

"Clang!"

"Please, girl, let me have a good sleep. I will get up and go to work at seven o'clock tomorrow morning..."

"Ahhh, sorry, sorry!"

After the window above his head was closed, Padu rolled his eyes and took the can down.

"Can Can, why are you disobedient? Can Can, didn't I just tell you not to be the boss?"

As she spoke, she put the can on her shoulder.

But the moment she let go, the can jumped onto her head again as expected.

Pado sighed, took the can down, and held it tightly in his arms, preventing it from moving.

"Wait! Can your mouth...ahhh, why did you eat a mouse!"

Seeing one person and one cat making noisy noises, Kiana gently took off the plastic bag stuck to her white hair. She wanted to take this opportunity to escape, but her eyes were unconsciously attracted to them.

Especially under the warm light, it was obviously just an ordinary scene of an owner training a cat, but Kiana's nose felt sore when she saw it, and she couldn't help but want to cry again.

"That's great..."

"Huh? You are Kaslana...Kaslana what...oh! Kiana Kaslana, right?"

"Huh?"

While stroking the tail of the can, Pado showed a naive smile.

But after Kiana was stunned for a few seconds, she slowly shook her head.

"Isn't it right?"

Padu took out a photo from under his cloak and compared it carefully.

"You are obviously Kiana?"

Is the girl in front of me here to catch him?

It should be so, but Kiana...for some reason, she can't think of running away.

Maybe he was tired from running.

"You call me K423, or Xilin... but I... I'm no longer worthy..."

"Oh, what, what, what?"

Padu grabbed her dirty wrist and pulled her out of the trash can.

"We are not smart enough to remember so many names. Anyway, your original name contains brother Kevin's surname, so I'll just call you Kiana Kaslana!"
