Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 257 There were 5 people, 3 of whom were invited.

"I see. So you want me to give you some advice?"

"Yes, after all, this series of Dream Bubbles tells our story, and I will even add stories from the past of pre-civilization and even the past of the present civilization."

"Did you get permission from other people?"

"Of course, I also asked them one by one in private messages. Except for Dr. Tesla, who was initially reluctant, but later agreed after being persuaded by Dr. Einstein. I just didn't expect that Aunt Flo would be the first to agree."

"She probably doesn't know that you're going to include those things in as well. If she knew that you were going to include her dark history, she probably wouldn't agree to it no matter what."

"Hehe!" Kiana chuckled and scratched her head. "After all, we need to consider the balance between relaxation and stress. It's not good to keep people in a state of constant tension. That's why we use these everyday moments and embarrassing stories to relax the mind and body. Besides, I didn't just post embarrassing stories about Aunt Flo. There are quite a few of our own stories as well."

"Since you've said that, what other opinions can I possibly have? Let's do it your way."

"Now that you two have finished your discussion, can we consider this a date when I can officially release this series of dream bubbles?" Dr. Edward asked.

"Let's not do it for now," Kiana said after thinking it over.

"I understand. Then please let me know when Miss Kiana is ready, and I will put it on sale as soon as possible."

Now that things were over, Kiana led the captain to a nearby shopping street to buy souvenirs for their date.

"Captain, Captain! Do you think these earrings look good on me?"

Inside the jewelry store, Kiana put on a pair of azure crystal earrings and asked the captain a question, to which the captain naturally praised her repeatedly.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that there wasn't a single piece of jewelry in the entire jewelry store that wasn't suitable for Kiana. It's just that these pieces were too expensive; otherwise, the captain would have loved to buy up all the jewelry in the store.

In the end, Kiana chose a necklace as a souvenir.

"How wonderful! Such peaceful days," Kiana said, putting on the necklace she had just bought.

At this time, many tourists began to appear in Clockwork Boy Plaza. The captain took Kiana's hand and started walking towards the Clockwork Boy statue in the center.

"Thinking about it carefully, even after we defeat the Honkai, we still won't have much time to spend together properly," Kiana said somewhat forlornly.

Looking back, after she defeated Kevin on the moon and shared her first embrace with Cocoon, Kiana chose to stay on the moon.

Although the captain initially chose to stay, the lunar base was in a state of disrepair and needed a lot of manpower, so the captain joined the team building the lunar base.

In the time that followed, Kiana needed to constantly learn various kinds of knowledge so that she could use her powers more effectively, and she also began to fall into deep sleep and merge further with the cocoon.

Meanwhile, the captain was assisting the researchers at the lunar base in helping Kiana master her growing powers. His rest time was getting shorter and shorter, and even the two of them being able to spend some quality time together had become a luxury.

Not to mention that in the second year after the victory over the Honkai, Kiana fell into a long sleep because she dreamed about things related to Mars, which forced the two of them to carry out their mission to explore Mars on the moon.

This is why people on Earth know that Mars, as discovered by Earth, is actually a giant quantum computer. It is thanks to this truth that Foheria and Coralie were able to drag the computer core of Mars back to the lunar base for research.

However, this also brought along a rather troublesome person—Vita. Although Kiana thought Vita was quite easy to talk to, she hadn't known her for very long and was nowhere near as familiar with her as Seele and the others, who had had an unpleasant experience with Vita.

According to her older sister, they have now become capable Valkyries, although their rank has not yet been upgraded to S-rank, their strength is now almost the same.

According to him, the reason he didn't advance was that he wasn't mature enough and needed more practice.

After the Mars incident, Kiana woke up for a while, and then went through a long period of slumber. It is said that during that time, an alien race called the Celestials invaded, but they were stopped by the members of the Third Squad led by Mei.

Because of that experience, the higher-ups on Earth realized that not all civilizations beyond Earth are friendly. Since then, Schicksal has long since initiated the Honkai Impact 3rd state. All retired Valkyries received a re-entry invitation from Schicksal, though whether or not to re-enter was entirely up to their individual wishes.

With a sufficient number of Valkyries, the lunar base also had adequate security, since Kiana, as the goddess of Earth, could still fall into a deep sleep for various reasons.

Then she met Him. Thinking about it carefully, Kiana and the Captain really haven't had much time to live a life together over the years.

“Indeed, we haven’t had much time to relax over the years,” the captain agreed.

"So, shall we go to my room later?" Kiana whispered in the captain's ear.

Kiana's breath gently brushed against the captain's earlobe, making him feel a ticklish sensation.

Now, how to answer has become something the captain needs to think about, and Kiana's suggestion is very tempting to him.

The captain swallowed hard, his body inexplicably starting to feel hot.

At this moment, Kiana became increasingly bold, leaning against the captain and exuding an aura of hormones.

"Kiana! Isn't it inconvenient to have so many people here?!"

"What does it matter? It's all in a dream anyway. At worst, it's just a matter of using some power. Here, Captain, you do it."

Looking at Kiana's eyes, which she had deliberately added hearts to, the captain felt a cold sweat running down his back, but what reason did he have to refuse?

They haven't had marital relations for so many years, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to indulge a little today, right?

With the captain nodding with difficulty, Kiana first teleported the two to a room in the Daydream Hotel, and then snapped her fingers to stop time.

Then Kiana threw the captain onto the bed. As the captain watched Kiana climb onto the bed and gradually pin him down, he knew it was too late for regrets.

During the period of stillness that followed, the captain's cries for help were heard thirty-two times.

No, that won't do, seventy-two times.

Several people are about to die.

If this weren't a dream, the captain would probably have been completely drained long ago, not to mention that Kiana later used her powers to help the captain recover his strength.

In the end, the captain was only relieved after Kiana was completely satisfied. Afterwards, Kiana lay down next to the captain with a satisfied look on her face, while the captain looked haggard.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Kiana dispelled the time-stop field, fully restored the captain's stamina, and led him back to the Golden Hour.

"So what exactly did you guys do?" Bronya asked. "Why is Kiana's face all flushed?"

Upon hearing Bronya's words, the two awkwardly scratched their heads. Seeing this, Bronya and Mei immediately understood what was going on.

After all, they're adults now, so some things don't need to be said outright. Seeing the two of them finally take their first steps towards adulthood, the two smiled with relief.

However, there was a hint of bitterness mixed in their smiles.

“We won’t interfere in your affairs,” Mei said. “Do we need to confirm our objective again?”

"Let's double-check," Kiana said, coughing twice. "First, let's confirm one thing: Seele is still at Dream Reef, right?"

"Yes, just like before, Seele is locked to Dream Reef by Him. If He doesn't succeed in stopping his plan from ending, Seele won't be able to return to the real world. Dr. Tesla's main activity area is still Seele's. According to Dr. Tesla's prediction, Seele will be able to leave Dream Reef and go to other dream moments soon."

"That's good." Kiana nodded. "After all, with the help of those three doctors from the previous civilization, I believe Dr. Tesla's abilities should make it quite easy to free Seele from Dream Reef. So, what about Mei?"

"Xing and the others have already contacted Mianmian, but even now I still can't understand why that Yiyu Mi would have such a name."

"Really? Did Liuying have any contact with Huangquan after that?"

"Contact has been made. With the Black Swan's cooperation, Huang Quan and I completed the exchange without Xing noticing. Should I contact Mr. Walter next?"

"We'll see, but it'll most likely be Mei who's in charge of making the contact."

"What about the gold dust after that? Let's make it clear that even if I had the power to deliver the Yellow Springs Strike, I wouldn't have the power of nothingness."

"Don't worry, that strike will naturally be left to Huang Quan himself. Our goal is to allow Huang Quan to accumulate enough power, enough to completely shatter the entire dream with a single strike."

Recalling her initial arrival in Pinocchio, Kiana first interacted with him, and then encountered Yomi, who was exhausted from running around.

Due to Huang Quan's unique nature, she was not affected by ■■■■, but because his power was too great, even Huang Quan, who walks the path of nothingness, could not influence ■■■■ by relying on the dissipated power of nothingness.

All she could do was rescue those with strong wills from the dream one by one, but this was ultimately too inefficient. Even if Huang Quan rescued them as quickly as possible, he couldn't keep up with pulling those who were awake back into the dream.

When Kiana met Yomi, he had already exhausted a lot of his power. So, after hearing about Kiana's bet with him, Yomi expressed his willingness to help Kiana.

Kiana immediately decided that Mei would act in Yomi's place in the dream world, while Yomi herself would accumulate power and would not enter the dream world unless necessary.

Unfortunately, previous attempts had all ended in failure, but now that Huang Quan's strength has been fully restored, Kiana has a feeling that this time she will succeed.

To this end, Kiana even made a special effort to meet the people on the Starry Sky Train from the very beginning, and reached a certain agreement with Black Swan. With Black Swan's help, she was able to switch freely between Mei and Yomi.

"Speaking of which, Mei interrupted Hoshi's conversation with Sakino outside Hoshi's room at the beginning. Although the two had completely different temperaments compared to Yomi, who appeared later, Hoshi didn't notice anything unusual. It's quite amazing when I think about it now."

"Perhaps it's because of the influence of ■■■■ in each cycle of reincarnation, the memories of people in dreams are recalled. Unless Huang Quan and I appear in front of them at the same time, it's quite difficult to tell them apart before we know the truth."

"But what about the meeting with Mr. Welt afterwards?" Kiana asked. "It seems like Mei has needed Shi's help to get away with things all these times, hasn't she?"

"There's nothing I can do. Miss Huang Quan's experiences are similar to mine, yet completely different. Her aura is really hard to imitate," Mei said with a wry smile. "With Walter's keen perception, it would be quite easy for him to see through my acting."

"Do you still need Xiaoshi's help this time?" Kiana asked.

"Forget it, Xiaoshi has more important things to do. I've already asked her for help several times before, and I'm afraid asking me again this time will delay her progress."

At that moment, the voice of the Lawgiver came from the side.

"Hey Mei, are you looking down on me a little?"

Kiana turned to the Herrscher of Knowledge and asked, "Little Herrscher, you're back? Did you finish what you were doing?"

"Don't worry about me!" Herrscher of Knowledge patted her chest and said, "It's just notifying the Celestial Ship! With the two-way teleportation portal you provided, Kiana, it'll be a piece of cake!"

"What was the reply from the Immortal Ship side?"

"According to Jingyuan, there are not many things that can be helped by the current undercurrents in Luofu. Luofu will do its best within its capabilities."

"How many people does he plan to send?"

"Then I should come in person."

Jingyuan's projection lit up from beside the Herald of Knowledge.

"You?" Kiana exclaimed in surprise, "General Jingyuan means you came in person?"

"Yes, that's right."

"But is it really okay that Luo Fu won't be in trouble without you overseeing things? And are you sure your health is alright?"

"I know my body best, and Miss Kiana, don't forget that I am officially a seriously injured person who needs to recuperate at the Pill Refining Division. With the Dragon Girl's cover, it won't be a problem for me to sneak out for a few days."

"And this is also Emperor Gong's intention; I've already had Fu Qing take care of things within Luofu, so things will be fine for the time being."

"Indeed, although your health has long been restored by Seele, you still chose to feign illness in order to observe the situation inside Luofu from the shadows, and let Miss Fu Xuan temporarily take over the position of general. Although I think it's just that someone wanted to slack off."

"Haha, Miss Kiana is joking. How could I possibly be thinking of slacking off? It's a sure thing that Fu Qing will become a general in the future. Thanks to this Star Core incident, I also have this opportunity to give Fu Qing some training."

"After saying all that, where are you now?"

"Currently, he is on the outskirts of the Asdna system. His power can be clearly sensed from the outside, just as Miss Kiana said. If someone with a weak will were to rashly enter, they would be instantly captured by the power of ■■■■."

"Do you need my blessing to help you break through this barrier head-on?"

"It's entirely up to Miss Kiana."

"Does Mr. Jingyuan wish to fulfill a dream he had when he was young?"

"What does Kiana mean?" Jingyuan asked curiously.

"Do you remember what Huang Quan said in the group chat about her reason for pretending to be a sea patrol ranger?"

"If I remember correctly, her goal was to lure out a long-reclusive sea patrolman and return the relics of one of the sea patrolmen in her possession to their rightful owner."

"Yes, and that sea patrolman also had a very deep connection with Pinocchio. Now that Huang Quan's goal has been achieved, the sea patrolman's belongings will soon be returned to him. As fellow patrolling forces, General Jing Yuan should know something about the sea patrolman's belongings, right?"

"If I remember correctly, among the belongings left behind by every Sea Patrolman after his death, there is always a bullet that symbolizes him."

At this point, Jing Yuan suddenly realized and said, "I see. I understand what Miss Kiana means. Then let me be the surprise strategist in this decisive battle."

"Since it's settled then, this jade omen of alliance has completed its mission."

“Miss Kiana, as I should have said, I came on the Emperor’s orders,” Jing Yuan reminded her. “Since it was the Emperor’s orders, the Alliance Jade in your possession will naturally still be effective. I think the Emperor felt it was unnecessary to waste the Alliance Jade on such a small matter, so he personally issued a divine decree ordering me to come secretly to provide support, as a way of repaying the favor from last time.”

Kiana thanked her, saying, "Then please thank your Imperial Bow for me."

Jing Yuan nodded: "If there's nothing else, I'll log off now. I'll wait for that legendary stream of light that can travel through time to appear."

After Jingyuan finished speaking, he ended the communication. Kiana gave a few simple instructions, and then everyone dispersed.

Meanwhile, something shocking was happening at Tesla: Bosch turned his attention to Pinocchio and sent three invitations to the invitees.
