Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Heartbroken Sirin
Among the current S-level Valkyries in Schicksal, Sirin is a very special one.
First of all, her personality is not as easy-going as other S-level Valkyries. It can even be said to be very bad. She has no good attitude towards anyone and is extremely sarcastic.
Even towards Otto, the former bishop of Schicksal, her attitude was cold and indifferent, not giving him any face at all...
Only when facing her adoptive mother Cecilia could one barely see a relatively gentle smile on her face.
At the same time, because Sirin was originally the body of the Herrscher of the Void, she almost made a big mistake during the Second Eruption and killed many innocent people. This led to her having almost no contact with ordinary people, even ordinary Valkyries of Schicksal.
Basically, the number of Valkyries that Schicksal and Sirin had talked to was less than one handful.
Therefore, even though the video "The Stars That Never Disappeared" has caused such a huge response on the Internet, almost no one in reality told Sirin herself about it.
In the entire Schicksal, only Otto, who is stubborn and fearless, dares to find Sirin directly and show her the video.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have started trembling the moment they approached Sirin.
"A good video?" Sirin turned her head away in dissatisfaction with Otto's appearance of fooling a little brat. "Go away, Otto, who do you think I am? I am not a little brat who will be attracted by boring videos!"
"Haha, don't be so quick to refuse." Even though Sirin treated him coldly, Otto still said with a smile, "I guarantee you will be surprised after watching this video!"
"Shocked?" Upon hearing Otto's words, Sirin couldn't help but reveal an expression that looked at someone who was mentally retarded, and said sarcastically, "If a mere video can shock me, then it must be that in that video, you, a bastard, ascended to heaven."
Sirin's attitude was extremely sharp.
This was her normal attitude towards ordinary people.
After all, even though she has turned over a new leaf and is fighting for Schicksal, she is still the Herrscher of the Void, the Queen of the Void, and she will not bow to anyone.
In this situation, Cecilia had to take the initiative to help Otto, who was frustrated, and said, "Sirin, why don't you watch the video first? I think you would like to see the content of the video."
"This…"
After hearing Cecilia's words, Sirin, who had been in a proud attitude, softened immediately.
Of course, her attitude towards Otto was still very cold. She just followed the excuse given by Cecilia and said, "Since you said so, Cecilia, it's not impossible to take a look."
"Well, Sirin is indeed a good child." Cecilia smiled and said, "In comparison, Bianca and Kiana are really a headache in every aspect."
"Uh, are you sure you didn't say the opposite?"
Hearing Cecilia's words, Siegfried beside her couldn't help but complain.
Cecilia winked at him as if to say, "If you don't know how to soothe a child, don't come and make trouble."
As expected, after hearing Cecilia's words, Sirin, who had originally retained a trace of stubbornness, suddenly smiled, put her hands on her hips and said:
"Humph, compared to those two idiots, I am of course the best-behaved child in the family!"
"Yes, yes, Sirin, you are the best!"
Soon, under Cecilia's "coaxing the child" offensive, Sirin gradually let down her guard, sat down and opened the video on Otto's mobile phone.
The video started playing quickly, and lines of subtitles began to flash across the video screen.
[The stars that never disappear!]
[When the sun shines on the earth, the stars disappear with you. But the world will not forget, and one day, all that is lost will return again]
"Stars?"
Seeing these words, Sirin instinctively showed disdain.
After all, an existence with this name, unless it is a savior who has saved the world and redeemed everything, is really not worthy of such a title.
Therefore, Sirin instinctively developed hostility towards the protagonist of the video, thinking that he was either a hypocritical person or a pure liar...
The video officially begins.
Seeing the tower that was so familiar to her, Sirin immediately panicked:
"What's going on? Is this the Babylon Laboratory? When did you take pictures of the things there? Wait, what time is this..."
All of a sudden, seeing Theresa leading the team to the Babylon Laboratory on the screen, Sirin suddenly realized the situation.
She didn't expect that the content of the picture was the Babylon Laboratory twenty years ago, the time when she suffered the greatest suffering from Schicksal!
"Otto, what do you want to do, you bastard?! Are you going to make all this public to humiliate me?!"
"Don't worry, these contents are at most humiliating to me." Facing Sirin's anger, Otto answered calmly: "Just watch it, I believe you will change your attitude."
"…"
Hearing Otto's words, Sirin took a deep breath and resisted the urge to get up and leave.
So, she saw the scene in which she transformed into a Herrscher and slaughtered everything during the Second Honkai War, and she also saw the scene in which Theresa almost died but was saved by a strange man.
These images gave Sirin a great shock.
Especially the black-haired man named Mo Chen, who directly touched her heart and gradually produced many familiar memories for her even though she should have had no impression of all this.
Finally, when the first part of the video comes to an end.
In the picture, Mo Chen defeated Sirin, but instead of killing her, he extended his hand to her.
He spoke to Sirin.
[I won't kill you.]
[Believe me, little girl, give up the hatred and pain in your heart. Then, I will protect you as much as possible, and will not let anyone hurt you again. I will be your only partner.]
Sirin in the picture was suddenly shaken.
Unfortunately, at this moment, a blond masked man suddenly appeared and disrupted everything.
Seeing this scene, Sirin's expression suddenly became greatly shaken.
She was silent for a long time, and finally stood up and punched Otto next to her with a bang!
"What the hell?!"
All of a sudden, Otto was caught off guard and was knocked flying. He flew for a long time before finally falling down, and a big red mark appeared on his cheek.
"Sirin?"
Siegfried and Cecilia were shocked when they saw this. Although they hated some of Otto's behaviors, they were all things of the past after all. They never thought that they would see Otto being beaten at this time.
Sirin's face was covered with tears without her knowing. She said in confusion, "I don't know why, my heart hurts so much... It feels like I've lost something important..."
"this…"
Hearing Sirin's painful voice, as if her heart was being torn apart, Siegfried and Cecilia looked at each other.
For a moment, the two of them saw each other's extremely sad expressions, and they didn't know whether they should show the rest of the video to her to continue watching...
