Chapter 41: Dr. Mobius's Hard-TalkingThe scene changed, and Mei returned to the lounge. What surprised her was that, after reminiscing about Eden, Eden appeared in the lounge. She looked at Eden holding a glass of wine and leaning on a chair.Mei was about to walk over, but at that moment, a hand grabbed her arm, and a familiar voice reached her ear."Shh, come here, come here~"She turned around and found that Elysia had appeared behind her. The two were very close at the moment, and Elysia's breathing brushed her face. Mei subconsciously took a few steps back.Elysia didn’t notice Mei’s small movement. She put a finger to her lips and made a playful, cute gesture."Hmm?"Elysia smiled and whispered."Eden is drunk now; she’ll become very cute~""Just watch~"Hearing this, Mei's eyes showed a puzzled look, but Elysia did not explain. Instead, she left her a word, put her hands behind her back, and walked toward Eden.Looking at Eden with slightly red cheeks, the smile in Elysia’s eyes deepened.Bending down slightly, her face came close to Eden’s. She called out coquettishly."Eden~~"Eden heard Elysia’s voice, raised his eyes, looked at the face in front of him, and smiled faintly, speaking lazily."Ah, Dear Ellie, hello~"Elysia supported her cheeks with both hands and said cutely, "Eden~ my good Eden~""I heard from Felis that you gave her a very beautiful gem~"Listening to Elysia’s words, Eden's misty eyes revealed a few more clouds. She took another sip of wine and spoke softly."Elysia, you can go see it with Felis later; why not show you this one now?"After that, she took out a huge sapphire from her pocket and handed it to Elysia."Although this sea gem has many impurities, the maker invented this rose cutting method to make the gem more shiny, almost as if he wanted to defy nature. This is also the first batch of gems in the world made using the rose cutting method.""I'll give it to you."Elysia heard Eden's words and answered happily."Really? Thank you! Eden, you’re the best!"Eden smiled at Elysia’s thanks, looked at her pink eyes gently, and said softly, "It’s nothing, Elysia. You know these are all just material things to me."Xiyue felt sour in her heart as she watched it before, and now she felt even more sour after joining society. She also wanted such a 'cute' friend—not for her money, but to be close to her.Thinking of this, Xiyue spoke with a touch of bitterness."If I had this kind of a friend, I would still be live streaming, and livestream a lot about riches!""But I don’t, and it makes me sad to think about it.""Rich woman, hungry, close, hug!"When the audience heard Xiyue’s words, they also reacted strongly, with the first to comment being the world’s number one idol, Ms. ‘Raven’.[Want to buy an island: "Does this boss still need a part-time job? I only need the money to buy an island, and I could sell myself for a lifetime!"]Raven looked at the jackal’s ugly face.Jackal: No money. But your life, come and get it!Looking at the interaction between Elysia and Eden, it was obvious that she and Jackal were also friends!Why was there such a big gap between their friendships? Although she had already bought the island, one island alone wasn’t enough!Thinking about it, Raven shed tears of envy. She really wanted to work for Eden.[Cat Cat: "Wow, it’s so happy to be friends with Sister Eden! Love, love."]At this moment, Padu was excited. In the future, she would become a colleague of Eden, and Eden would give her precious gems.What kind of friend was this!Originally being frightened by Kalpas just now, causing her to have second thoughts about Fire Moth, Pardo was now full of expectations for Fire Moth.[I don’t want to take the exam: "Humph, it’s shameful to get it for free!"][Queen: "Humph, nothing more than that!"]And the most excited one was Elysia. She watched the interaction between herself and Eden in the plot, and her heart was burning.Looking at Mobius sleeping in her arms, she spoke to Mobius excitedly."Mobius, Mobius, wake up, wake up!""Let’s go to Eden’s concert again and get to know Eden."Mobius woke up slowly and, hearing Elysia’s excited voice, was a little confused and didn’t understand what was wrong with Elysia. But she remembered that she had just been woken up from a dream.Mobius got angry immediately after getting up, broke free from Elysia’s arms, sat on the bed, raised her eyebrows, and glared at Elysia."Elysia, are you sick?!""I just watched Eden’s concert yesterday, and now you want me to watch it again? Are you free? I still have a lot of experiments to do!"Elysia looked at the angry Mobius and didn’t take it seriously. She knew how to deal with Mobius and wasn’t affected at all. She even grabbed her hand when Mobius was angry.She pressed her body against Mobius again and said to her with a smile, "This time we’re not just going to watch the concert; this time we’re going to meet Eden and become friends with her!"Mobius hands were held by Elysia, so subconsciously tried to break free, but unfortunately, her strength wasn’t enough. After hearing Elysia’s words, although her morning grumpiness had dissipated somewhat, she still spoke angrily."Why go meet a star? You’re a Fire Moth Warrior and she's a big star. Do you think there will be any intersection?"Mobius was angry and puzzled. Although she liked Eden’s singing, she enjoyed it, but she had no idea of making friends.Elysia heard what Mobius said and then stretched out her hands to hug Mobius’s thin waist again. She leaned close to her and smiled as she spoke."Yes! And it’s very big. Eden may become our colleague and comrade in the future~""Mobius, come with me, come with me~"As Elysia got closer and said those irresistible words, Mobius’ body gradually softened, but she still didn’t agree."No, if you want to go, go by yourself. Don’t drag me along. I still have a lot of experiments to do."Hearing Mobius’s words, Elysia rolled her eyes, thought of something, and hugged Mobius tighter. She then said with a smile."Go, go~""And the funding for your experimental project has been stopped, what are you still doing?"When Mobius heard what Elysia said, a trace of haze flashed across her green eyes.As one of the two most powerful scientists of Fire Moth, she had also been interviewed by the top leaders, who asked her to stop her subordinates’ experiments and focus on the tasks they gave her.Seeing those useless experiments that could only make money, Mobius tore up the documents on the spot. The next day, her laboratory funds ran out."These bastards!"Elysia looked at Mobius’s face and knew it was done. She hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade her."I heard that the big star Eden is many times richer than Fire Moth.""If you make friends with her, Dr. Mobius, do you think it’s possible to get her friendship sponsorship~"Elysia tilted her head slightly and said to Mobius in confusion.When Mobius heard it, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out to Elysia."Go, go immediately, go now!"Seeing this, Elysia laughed like a bell....Back to the plot, after Elysia got the sapphire from Eden, she returned to Mei’s side. Waving the sapphire in her hand to Mei, Elysia spoke happily."Hey! Cute, isn’t it?""She likes to talk about these things when she’s drunk and gives gifts."Mei looked at Elysia in disbelief. She didn’t expect Elysia to be such a person. Elysia, who was stared at by Mei, smiled lightly and continued."Don’t look at me like that! I’ll return it to her later.""Hehe, although she usually won’t take it."Chapter 42: The Cutest Teriri in the World!The plot continues. Mei walks to the next memory and clicks on it. She then sees Elysia sitting in her original position, eyes closed, as if she is feeling something."Hmm... This doesn't feel right... What is this?" Mei walks over, stands in front of her, stares at Elysia, and asks in confusion, "What are you doing with your eyes closed?"As soon as Mei finishes speaking, Elysia opened her eyes. She looked at Mei’s cold expression, and said in surprise, "Huh~ Mei? Oh, what happened to me? I didn't see you coming. I’m sorry, Mei’s light is as dazzling as mine. I shouldn’t have made that mistake."Mei hears Elysia’s words, and a trace of helplessness flashes in her eyes. "You closed your eyes, of course, you couldn’t see."Elysia sighs. "Yeah, I still can't see anything. So I'm even more curious, how did he do it?"At this time, in the livestream chat.[Cat Cat: "Oh, oh, my shiny gold coins! Sister Ellie is so cute, how can there be such a cute girl in the world~"][I Don’t Want to Take the Exam: "Where’s the cuteness? This is narcissism! I’m not that narcissistic."][Queen: "Three sentences, all about praising herself, narcissistic bug."][Want to Buy an Island: "I heard that the granddaughter of the Overseer of Schicksal once debuted as an idol and was called the cutest in the world. Then the question is, is Elysia cuter? Or is Theresa cuter?"]Theresa was leisurely drinking bitter melon juice when she saw this comment. The bitter melon juice in her mouth sprayed out.PffftHer fair face instantly flushed. For a moment, she was a little at a loss. How did this person know this secret?It’s been so many years since this happened, and there are still people who remember she once debuted. Thinking about that history, Theresa’s face was about to bleed.[I Don’t Want to Take the Exam: "Huh? Theresa has this kind of past?"]Kiana tilted her head, looking curious when she heard this. She didn’t expect her aunt had debuted as an idol. It was really unexpected.Then, Theresa’s image of wearing cute clothes and standing on stage, singing and dancing, appeared in Kiana’s mind. Kiana got a little excited for a while.[Don't Shame: "I’ve never heard of it. (Curious)"]Wendy, who hadn’t been pulled into experiments for several days, also had her own free time in the small house.[The Cutest in the World: "How did you know?"]Raven looked at Theresa’s speech and was in a very happy mood. When she was investigating information about Schicksal, she accidentally found a newspaper.The front page of the newspaper was a photo of Theresa wearing a performance costume and doing cute actions, with the big headline:[The World’s Cutest Teriri Concert Ended Perfectly]If the picture hadn’t been exactly the same as Theresa’s, she wouldn't have believed it.Later, she checked it online, but unfortunately, there was no relevant information except for the newspaper.Theresa must have erased the traces. As for why, Raven had a guess in her mind and raised the corners of her mouth.[Want to Buy an Island: "I’m an intelligence officer~ Hey, your ID is also the world’s cutest. Seems like you’re Theresa’s fan~"][I Don’t Want to Take the Exam: "I support Theresa as the world’s cutest."][Cat Cat: "No, I support Sister Ellie as the world’s cutest."]Then, Pardo and Kiana began to spam the screen. Xiyue glanced at the chat, saw the argument between the two, and laughed. She was about to say something when she saw Elysia’s speech.[Miss Elf: "Oh, what’s there to argue about? They’re both such cute girls, as long as we can be close to each other~ You know, Elysia also wants to hug Theresa’s petite body~"][The Cutest in the World: "qwq..."]Theresa wanted to kill Raven at this time.When Xiyue saw Theresa’s speech, she could imagine Theresa’s expression. She knew that Theresa considered that incident a black history that was hard to look at directly, but she didn’t expect it to be revealed by Raven in the livestream. Xiyue hadn’t expected Raven to be the fire starter.Returning to the plot, Mei heard Elysia’s keywords and asked in confusion, "He?"Elysia stood up, looked at Mei with excitement, and said happily, "Ah, you’re curious too, right? Do you want to come and try it with me?"After hearing this, Mei turned around and left. She shouldn’t expect this woman to do anything good."Excuse me,"Seeing this, Elysia hurriedly grabbed Mei’s arm and said, "Oh, don’t go. I’m kidding."[Cat Cat: "The interaction between Ellie and Mei is really too CP! It’s like the love story between an iceberg straight girl and a lively, cute girl in a novel."][I Don't Want to Take the Exam: "No way! Mei is obviously self-disciplined and doesn’t want to interact with anyone other than Kiana!"]Cat and Cat Stick: "No way!"][I Don't Want to Take the Exam: "Yours isn’t!"]Just as Kiana and Pardo argued, Elysia in the plot grabbed Mei’s hand, shook it, and then continued, "Well, as an apology, let me introduce you to an expert in this field.""Su, the wisest of the thirteen Flamechasers. Well... at least everyone except himself thinks so.""He is very kind to visitors. I think you should be able to get along with him happily.""Oh, by the way, if you figure out why he can see things with his eyes closed, make sure to come back and tell me~"Then, under Elysia’s gaze, Mei went to the next recollection space.The scene turned, and the unspeakable time passed quietly.On a huge ancient Bodhi tree, another leaf fell gracefully, and with the bright, warm orange color, it came closer from far away.A voice as warm as jade and full of Zen flavor sounded in Mei’s ears."Welcome, visitor Raiden Mei.""I have foreseen your arrival."Mei followed the voice and saw a beautiful man with long gray hair sitting under the Bodhi tree. He squinted his eyes and made a meditation gesture, waiting for her to come.Mei walked over, looked at the beautiful man, and wondered, "Do you know my name?"The man didn’t raise his eyes when he heard Mei’s words, but still smiled."In this Elysian Realm, everything is born out of cognition. From the moment you visit the world, you have become a part of it's cognition.""Nice to meet you. I am the pioneer, the seventh of the Thirteen Flamechasers.""However, I would rather you call me by my name directly—Su."Chapter 43 I want to see the historic meeting between Dr. Lobster and SuWhen Mei heard Su's words, a trace of shock flashed in her purple eyes, and she spoke to Su."You are the MANTIS who hold the Signet of Bodhi."Mei's words reached Su's ears, but Su did not raise his head; he kept his eyes lowered and slowly answered."The name is just an external thing; there is no need to let it affect your understanding. You and I are both seekers of the truth. Since we have the same will, it is better to call each other by name."Hearing Su's words, Xiyue thought of a certain Dudu that he had locked away in the Bubble World, she felt that Dudu had been wronged for a while.When Mei heard Su's words, she nodded."I thought this was some kind of rule. After all, it seems that Elysia cares a lot."At this time, Mei was determined in her heart that Elysia's words could only be half believed; otherwise, she always felt that she would be led astray."Elysia's persistence has her own reasons. The name has its necessary significance at the birth of this group, and it is her foresight that has given us the opportunity to survive."After saying this, Su opened his palm and sent a new leaf to the distance."Visitor, if you are interested in finding that dusty past, follow this Bodhi leaf. It will point out the way for you to the awakened one in thousands of lives.""But for you, we are just shadows of the past, and cause and effect have long become lost to history. So there is no need to stick to complicated etiquette. You have more important things to explore."After listening to Su's words, Mei was full of doubts, so she stepped forward and asked,"Aren't you going to give me a test?"Su heard Mei's words, smiled faintly, and words full of Zen sounded again."Suffering is a test, and tranquility is also a test. The test for you has already begun and will continue. See, listen, and feel. Every stop and every choice will forge you into shape.""One day, the answer you seek will appear from your heart. And I will witness your path with the world."Su slowly fell, and an orange-yellow Bodhi leaf slowly fell, landing on the calm water surface, stirring up a faint ripple, and Su's voice slowly sounded at that moment."All things are impermanent; all exist in the cycle of cause and effect. The moment of birth and death is nothing but a dream.""Come on, step into this infinite light; this is the Signet of Bodhi."...After reading this paragraph, Xiyue was still confused even though this was her second time reading it. Although she had been a Chinese language and literature major in her previous life, she really couldn't understand Su's words. She couldn't understand them, let alone the person involved, Mei.She thought she was a riddler, but she didn't expect that there were people who were more of a riddle than she was.However, for a moment, she was looking forward to the scene where Dr. Lobster, who "does not swear," met Su. They must have endless topics to talk about.And the audience was not much better than Xiyue.[Cat Stickers: "Aha, the voice of this 'beauty' is so soft. Damn, I found that the people here are all handsome men and beautiful women! It's just that I don't understand what they say. Can anyone explain it to me?"][Don't Shame: "+1. I don't understand."][I Don't Want to Take the Exam: +1 too. I'm so upset by hearing it; it's more nagging than my cultural teacher!"][The Cutest in the World: "I told you to study hard; now you know you don't understand?"][I don't want to take the exam: "Then did you understand, Aunt? Can you explain it to us?"]When Theresa heard Kiana's words, her face fell dull, and she pretended not to see them because she didn't understand them either.["Want to buy an island: Another riddle man? Can the riddle man get out!"][Miss. Elf: "Now I understand why Ellie said that to Mei. What a mysterious man."][Queen: "What are you talking about! What a damn human."][Research girl: "..."]Mei is different from these poor students.Although she understands what Su means, she is more concerned about Su himself. She knows Su because Kevin and Su are good friends.It's just that, since she and Kevin joined the Fire Moth, she hasn't contacted Su for a long time. She only heard that Su is now a doctor in a large hospital, specializing in curing Honkai disease.She didn't expect that this doctor who saves people would join Fire Moth in the future?Mei's eyes flashed, and she decided in her heart that she would go to find this old friend with Kevin in a few days.[Sakura: (꒪ꇴ꒪?"]After helping the unconscious nun change her clothes and feeling the miko's gentle breathing, Yae Sakura felt relieved, knelt beside the nun, and then turned her attention to the livestream that suddenly appeared in her mind.It's just that she couldn't understand what was happening in the livestream. Fortunately, there were past livestream records above this livestream room. She clicked in and watched quietly.......The same confusion also existed in the person involved, Mei.Mei came out with an empty head and a puzzled face and returned to rest. Then she found that Elysia was waiting for her. When she saw her come out, she hurried forward to ask,"You saw him. Right?"Mei slowed down. She was silent for a moment, and then gave her own evaluation."Just like an enlightened one, a name is the same, and he is a very detached person."After hearing Mei's words, Elysia was not surprised and continued."So he can really recognize you? With his eyes closed all the time?"Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard Elysia's words. She didn't know how to answer; this woman had jumped too fast.Elysia saw Mei's speechless expression, hurried forward, and bumped Mei with her shoulder."Oh, I'm just curious.""Did he call you by your name when talking?""Except for the first time we met, he would call me a visitor the rest of the time."Mei replied expressionlessly.Hearing Mei's answer, Elysia stroked her smooth chin with one hand, thinking with her pink eyes."Oh, is it the same for you?""What's wrong?""No, I'm just thinking... Oh, I understand! He kept his eyes closed, and he didn't know who he was talking to, right? Because he was afraid of the embarrassment of calling someone by the wrong name, he called everyone 'visitor'—um! That should be it!"For a moment, Elysia's eyes sparkled, as if she had gotten some kind of answer."Well, this is definitely wrong.""I really want to know: how did Su do it? Is this his ability as a MANTIS?"Mei stared at Elysia speechlessly; she found that she couldn't keep up with Elysia's brain circuit, just as she couldn't keep up with Kiana.In a sense, Elysia and Kiana have some kind of imagination.Of course, it is the same as for Kiana, who is still in the academy and has not experienced everything behind.Thinking of this, Mei's cold purple eyes softened, and a few warm colors appeared on her face.After listening to Elysia's words, Xiyue couldn't help laughing anymore and spoke happily to the audience. "Puff~ Elysia, your worthy of it, so smart!"[Cat Cat: "Sister Ellie is so cute~"][I Don't Want to Take the Exam: "What does this have to do with being smart or not? If so, I am also a smart lady!"]Kiana didn't understand the meaning of Xiyue's words at all and thought it was a compliment, so she responded unconvincedly at this time.[The Cutest in the World: "Uh... you idiot!"][I Want to Buy an Island: Su's MANTIS's ability is to squint? That ability is weird."][Miss Elf: Oh, cutie Yuexi praised Ellie so much, Ellie would be shy~ I didn’t expect that cutie Yuexi is also a member of Ellie’s harem; it’s really exciting~ Ellie is really honored—you will be Ellie’s person from now on~ My dear Yuexi!"]At this time, Elysia was changing her clothes. She heard Xiyue's words "My good Elysia," which made her very happy, and she laughed joyfully.And Mobius, who was changing her clothes behind her, looked at Elysia smiling at the air, and was also confused.She was wondering whether she should give Elysia a shot; after all, Elysia's smile scared her.Just as Mobius was looking at Elysia thinking, Elysia turned around, stared at Mobius, smiled sweetly at her, and spoke sweetly."Dr. Mobius, my good doctor, can you come and help me put on my clothes~""This skirt is so hard to wear!"Chapter 44 Hua: Sorry, I can't do it!After hearing what Elysia said, Mobius looked at Elysia's mutton-fat back and wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words for a while. So, she had to stand up and walk towards her.She came behind Elysia, stretched out her hand to the zipper on her back, and gently pulled it up.Then, with a look of disgust, she said, "Elysia, have you gained weight?"When Elysia heard what Mobius said, her body stiffened. She lowered her head to look at her waist and moved."No, it's not very slim."After saying this, she turned around, looked at Mobius wearing glasses, put her face close to her, and said with a sad expression,"My Dr. Mobius, saying that a girl is fat will make her sad~"Looking at Elysia's face so close, Mobius realized that her words were not well-chosen. After all, as a woman, she knew that being called fat would make people sad.But the words had already been spoken, and just as she was thinking about how to respond, Elysia turned her body, stretched out her hands to hug her waist, slowly approached Mobius’s face, and, under her wide-eyed gaze, stretched out her tongue and licked the tip of her tall nose.A strange feeling of numbness spread from Mobius' heart, from the inside out, occupying her whole body. Her body slowly softened, and a red flush appeared on her pale face."Elysia, you..."Mobius didn’t expect Elysia to do this. As he was about to use the last of her strength to scold her, she saw a charming smile on Elysia’s face. She spoke first."I forgive you now, Dr. Mobius~""But as a punishment, you have to change out of your white coat and wear the same skirt as me~"After saying this, before Mobius could react, Elysia reached out and took off the white coat that Mobius had been wearing all year round, and continued to drag off the next piece, until...Meanwhile, the people in the livestream didn’t know that a certain member had gone offline; they were still passionately discussing Su and accusing someone of riddles.To sum it up in six words: "Riddlers, get out."Xiyue looked at the direction of the chat and hurriedly changed the topic. She didn’t want to riddle either, but the plots of Honkai Impact 3 were full of gilded riddles. It was the official’s fault, not hers."There's not much time left for the livestream, let's continue with the plot!"After saying this, she continued to control Mei, and after obtaining Su's Signet, Mei thought of Hua's face.In this Realm, there was only one person she cared about, and that was her Class Monitor — Fu Hua.Thinking of this, Mei went to the space where Hua was.When Kiana and Theresa saw Xiyue click into the Signet of Visiccitude, they perked up and murmured to the screen, "Class Monitor/Fu Hua?"As soon as she entered, she saw Hua standing there in a black combat uniform, not knowing what she was looking at. Mei walked over and shouted to her."Class Monitor, no... sorry, I'm just a little used to it."Hua listened to Mei’s voice, came back to her senses, looked at Mei in front of her, and said lightly, "Nothing. If it helps you, you can think of me as another person."Hearing Hua’s words, Mei’s purple eyes flashed with sadness, and she said softly, "Another person?"Suppressing the complicated feelings in her heart, she continued talking to Hua."Hua, if I tell you something, can it become a part of your memory?"Hua shook her head and answered quickly,"Other people here may be able to do it, but I can't.""I periodically rewind my memory to a certain point in time, and what you tell me can only be kept at that moment."Hearing Hua’s words, Mei was confused."Why do you do this?"Hua heard the doubt in her voice and blurted it out without thinking,"This is the decision made by the real Hua — to ensure that I remain myself. Perhaps affected by Hyperamnesia, my memory will not fade away like ordinary people’s until it’s forgotten.""They will always accumulate in my mind, and it’s difficult for me to say what kind of impact or change they will bring to me.""So, I have to use other means to forget certain things and ensure I can fulfill my mission — for the sake of my memory, this is necessary."Speaking of this, Hua paused, then looked at Mei’s emotions that she couldn’t understand and continued, "If one day I suddenly forget who you are, I can only say sorry to you first."Hearing Hua’s words, thinking of Fu Hua in reality, the sadness in Mei’s eyes became more intense. She sighed in her heart and said softly to Hua,"I understand. For you, this may be the best choice."[Cat Cat": "I found that Mei is so gentle when facing Hua! Not as cold as facing the other MANTIS. She also said the most. Has this MANTIS named Hua lived through the previous era?"]"Want to buy an island": Mei calls her class monitor? It seems that there are many unknown people in St. Freya Academy.[I won't take the exam: "Auntie, I can't believe it!"][The Cutest in the World: "Me too."][Queen: "..."[Research girl: "Hua?"]Kiana isn’t stupid; she’s just too lazy to use her brain most of the time. From the video, Mei’s attitude towards Hua can explain a lot of things, but she still can’t believe it for a while.The Class Monitor, who was elegant, responsible, and caring, was from the previous civilization?But no matter how you look at it, her Class Monitor didn’t seem like someone from the previous civilization. Kiana knew that Fu Hua didn’t know how to use modern things.How could my class monitor be from the previous civilization?While Kiana was confused, the queen in her mind was looking at Hua with fire in her eyes. She inherited Sirin’s memory. So she would never forget the person in front of her until she died.After all, that bright large sword was truly unforgettable.She didn’t expect this woman to be from the previous era. Although she was annoyed, she didn’t know why she felt a little better.Theresa also had complicated emotions. She turned on the computer, logged into the Schicksal database, and prepared to check Fu Hua’s information.But when she clicked in, she found that she didn’t have enough permissions.You know, she has Schicksal S-level permissions. Since even using S-level permissions isn't allowing her to view it, so the only one who can view it is her grandfather.After realizing this, Theresa had a guess in her heart.In addition to these people, the one with the greatest emotional fluctuations was Xiyue. Xiyue looked at Hua and watched this conversation, feeling very uncomfortable.If you asked who was the character Xiyue felt most sad about in the entire Honkai Impact 3rd, she would definitely say it was Fu Hua.Although players in the previous life always ridiculed the Immortal Tablet, no one disliked Fu Hua, the Immortal Phoenix who had protected Shenzhou for tens of thousands of years.As for the reason…Xiyue didn’t answer, but clicked into the next chapter of recollection.Mei came to the space where Hua was again. Mei greeted her, "Hello again, Hua."Hua looked at Mei and replied lightly. "Well, hello."Mei didn’t care about Hua’s coldness and asked softly, "Hua, I want to ask you a question.""As far as I know, the lifespan of MANTIS is much longer than that of ordinary people. If you can choose..."When saying this, Mei stopped, and a trace of struggle flashed in her purple eyes, but she said firmly, "Are you willing to protect the humans of the new era for thousands of years until they have the ability to protect themselves?"Hua did not answer Mei directly after hearing her words, but fell into silence.After a long time, Hua finally answered Mei."Miss Mei, I am just an ordinary warrior.""And what you said... I’m sorry, I can’t even feel its weight just by imagining it.""I'm sorry, I’m willing to do that, but I can’t.""To walk alone for a long time… Among us, I’m afraid only Kevin can do it."Chapter 45: Can't Do Anything, the Best at Torturing FuAfter hearing Fu Hua's words, Mei felt very uncomfortable.She could not bear it, but she chose to endure. She really wanted to shout at Hua at this moment:"You did it, better than anyone else!"But she couldn't, so she could only sigh deeply in her heart and think:"No, you can do it too.""You have done it. You did much better than Kevin... Class Monitor."Xiyue felt very uncomfortable when she saw this. If she were asked who was the biggest one getting stabbed by MiHoYo, she would definitely say it was Fu Hua. Mihoyo could not do anything, but they were the best at torturing Fu Hua.She couldn't imagine carrying this kind of heavy burden, yet Hua had been bearing it for 50,000 years. She was just an ordinary person, from beginning to end, yet not ordinary at all.Life is like a dream. Fifty thousand years feels like a dream. Who could understand the responsibility and commitment that Hua had carried?If there was no Senti in the future...Xiyue's eyes were slightly moist, and she couldn't help but say."Fu He drives away the filth and settles the eight wastelands. Hua Ran alone is safe in the nine states. Not afraid of the whole armor and glory in the battle, but the death of thousands of people is full of tears."After hearing Xiyue's words, the barrage area fell silent for a long time.Kiana, especially, stared blankly at Hua on the screen, with the conversation between Mei and Hua echoing in her mind. She didn’t know when her eyes had become red.Sister Fu Hua, who was elegant and handsome in school, actually had this heavy mission.How long had it taken from the previous era to the current era?Kiana couldn’t imagine it. She didn’t know why Fu Hua wanted to hide her identity, but she knew that such a Fu Hua must have no bad intentions toward her or the entire academy![Cat Cat: "Although I don't know what happened specifically, I feel an unimaginable heaviness in my heart. Has this MANTIS named Hua been guarding the previous era to the present era?"][Want to Buy an Island: "How did she persist for 50,000 years? Can Yuexi tell us her story?"][Research Girl: "Is this poem an acrostic? Fu Hua is not dead, Ding'an is dead."]Mei looked at Hua and whispered this sentence softly, her eyes flashing, and no one knew what she was thinking.[Miss Elf: "Hua?"]Elysia took Mobius’s arm. She knew Hua. Hua was a member of the fifth team. She remembered that when the third Honkai broke out, the captain of the fifth team, Himiko, saved Hua.Hua's hometown was affected by the Honkai, and it was not spared. No one survived. Under Himiko's psychological counseling, Hua decided to join the fifth team of the Fire Moth. She still remembered her identity number: msa_209.As for why she remembered it so clearly, it was because she liked to go to various teams to find beautiful girls to play with, and then noticed Hua, who was alone. She wanted to talk to Hua, but unfortunately, she didn’t succeed.Thinking of this, and recalling the conversation between Mei and Hua just now, there was one more person Elysia wished to see in her heart.Theresa’s face also showed complexity. When she learned that her authority was insufficient, her first thought was that Fu Hua had been sent by her grandfather to monitor her. After all, the teaching philosophy of St. Freya Academy was contrary to the concept of Schicksal.And there were two special existences—Kiana and Mei—at her academy. She didn’t believe her grandfather would take no action.At first, she suspected Xiyue, as this teacher sent by the headquarters had too many suspicious points. But after the livestream, she shifted her suspicion onto Fu Hua. However, after the conversation between Mei and Hua, she was once again confused."Could Fu Hua be a spy sent by Grandpa?" Theresa murmured.When Xiyue saw Raven’s question, she thought for a moment and addressed the audience."I can’t tell you her story now, but there are many stories about Hua in the following plots. Don’t worry.""But I can tell you this.""Her previous battles were written into history, and then blurred into legends by time. Eventually, the legend became a ballad that no one sang. One day, no one will remember that she was ever here. The world mocks those who stick to their beliefs in this ruthless way, but for those who stick to their beliefs, the world is just a note she wrote for herself.""Let’s continue the plot and reveal her story here as soon as possible."Xiyue said this in a slightly hoarse voice, then continued to control Mei, entering Hua's memory space again.Looking at Hua who was looking down at something, Mei coughed a few times and then spoke to Hua."Hua."But Mei's voice didn’t alarm Hua, she remained focused on the things in her hand."Hua." Mei called again, and Fu Hua finally responded. She looked at Mei in front of her, her eyes showing apology, and said softly, "Sorry, I was distracted just now. What’s the matter?"Mei noticed the photo in Fu Hua's hand and asked gently, "Are you looking at the photo?"Hua glanced at the photo in her hand and nodded. "Well, but it’s just an unintentional habit of mine. For me, it no longer evokes any memory."Hearing this, Mei felt a pang of pain in her heart and quickly apologized. "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked such a private question."Hua shook her head. "You misunderstood. I’m not hiding anything. This photo... I have no memory of it anymore."As soon as her words fell, a photo was displayed on the screen. It was a picture of Hua and a red-haired woman, but the light obscured the red-haired woman’s face."Maybe there was a mistake in the recall, or maybe the memory never existed in the first place. Now... it’s just a photo related to me. That’s all."Mei sighed deeply after hearing this."I’ll stay here for a while. If I find any clues, I’ll come back to tell you."Hua shook her head in refusal. "Thank you, but don’t bother. You know my situation. Recovering memories should not be your goal this time."[Cat Cat: "I feel so sorry for her. She remembers nothing. But seeing her thoughtful expression while holding the photo, the person who took the photo with her must have been the most important person to her. To forget the most important person to yourself... Woohoo, Boss Yuexi, is this game really a relaxing and warm game?"][I Don't Want to Take the Exam: "Why did she lose her memory! She is obviously a memory, but she’s still forced to forget. This is so cruel!"]"The Cutest in the World: It must be the side effect of the Divine Key - Fenghuang Down."][Want to buy an island: "What is that?"][The Cutest in the World: "Fenghuang Down is a Divine Key weapon created by the former civilization using the Herrscher core, and one of its functions is to release a powerful control at the cost of losing its own memory."Theresa, with her wide range of experience, spoke up, but as she did, a sudden thought crossed her mind, and she paused, her head throbbing."Could it be that Fu Hua was not sent by Grandpa, but because of the use of Fenghuang Down?"Suddenly, a sharp pain struck Theresa’s head, making it difficult for her to think clearly.Elysia looked at the red-haired woman in the photo and immediately recognized her. It was Himiko, the captain of the fifth team.Thinking of this, Elysia recalled Himiko's red hair, and suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. Shock appeared on her face."Himiko looks like Kiana’s teacher Himeko!"Xiyue looked at the question in the barrage, thought for a moment, and then softly revealed the identity of the red-haired woman."That is Hua's captain, Himiko.""During the seventh eruption, she was selected by the Honkai and became the seventh Herrscher—the Herrscher of Flames.""After that, she was killed by Kevin, and her Herrscher core was made into a Divine Key, named—the Judgement of Shamash!"As soon as these words were spoken, the livestream chat fell silent, before the chat exploded. Chapter 46: All Riddlers[I Don't Want to Take the Exam: "Huh? Hua's captain is also a Herrscher? The Judgement of Shamash is the heirloom of the Kaslana family, this..."]Kiana felt strange for a moment when she realized that her heirloom turned out to be Fu Hua's captain's Herrscher Core.[Cat Cat: "This is a lot of information. Let me slow down."][Want to buy an island: "The Herrscher of the previous civilization? So, Hua and her captain fought at that time? Damn, what kind of heartwarming plot is this!"]Raven who realized this almost couldn't help but swear.[The cutest in the world: "This..."]But the most shocked was Mei. She didn't expect Himiko to become a Herrscher in the future."Herscher?""Should this matter be reported to the parliament?"Mei subconsciously had this thought, but it soon disappeared.Report it to the parliament? Forget it, but the Herrscher is always a danger. Should we find a way to secretly get rid of her?Nip the danger in the bud?But is what the streamer said true? Kill a battle-hardened warrior based on her words?But the danger of the Herrscher is that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.Countless thoughts suddenly emerged in Mei's extremely rational mind.After all, in the previous era, humans and Herrschers fighting to the death, and there was no such thing as rebellious Herrscher who fought for humanity.As a victim of the third eruption, Mei's attitude toward the Herrscher was the same.However, when she was calmly thinking about how to deal with Himiko and prevent trouble before it happened, she remembered the Herrscher of Thunder in the livestream room. Thinking of this Herrscher, Mei's thoughts stagnated slightly.The previous thoughts were suppressed in her heart, but different thoughts replaced them.She input instructions to the almost completed super artificial intelligence, Prometheus.[Speculate the probability that Himiko, the captain of the fifth team, will become a Herrscher and maintain the original possibility.]Mei looked at the computer screen, and at that moment, a message came from her address book.【Kevin: Mei, can we go boating on the lake tomorrow night?】Seeing this message, Mei subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking of what happened in the livestream room about Kevin, Mei's heart moved, and she agreed.【Mei: OK.】The reason why Xiyue revealed the true identity of the Herrscher of Flames was to tell Elysia and Mei, and there were two purposes.One was to hope that Mei and Elysia would know and prevent Hua from suffering that kind of pain. But she hoped that they could have a little more possibility for the seventh Herrscher.And this little possibility was whether the warrior Himiko still had human consciousness when she became a Herrscher.Xiyue did not choose to answer the question in the chat. She revealed a lot today, and the effect of the plot would be greatly reduced if she revealed more.Back to the plot, Mei in the recollection did not look for Hua again but went to the recollection of another MANTIS.As soon as she entered, she saw Sakura holding the handle of the blade and saying to her, "I don't know if your journey was smooth, but at least you look fine."Mei listened to Sakura's words and nodded."Well, it's okay. Although there are many enemies in the Realm that I have never seen, it is also a valuable experience for me.""And if I'm not mistaken, the enemies I face are all enemies you have faced before."Sakura heard her words, her lavender eyes flashed, and she said lightly, "Some are, some are not.""You are not the first person to come here, and everyone who has arrived here will leave some unique marks in the Realm.""The Realm has affected them, and they, at the same time, have also affected the environment in the Realm. Of course, this also includes the enemies in the Realm."Mei was speechless again when she heard this familiar riddle.Sakura saw her expression and said softly, "I'm sorry, I can only give you such a vague answer. If you can meet Su, I think he should be able to give you a more accurate explanation."[Want to buy an island: "From this riddle woman to another riddle man, all are riddle men, right?"][Cat Cat: "Going around and around, I'm going to get dizzy."][Want to buy an island: "Generally, I skip this kind of riddle plot. It makes my head hurt."][Sakura: "(￢_￢)"]Yae Sakura was surprised to see Sakura on the screen, who looked exactly like her and spoke exactly the same as her.But she shook her head, thinking of something. Her face dimmed, her eyes filled with pain and sadness, and she said sadly, "It's different. She will definitely not be like me, a useless sister who can't even protect her sister."At this time, a faint voice also sounded in her ears."Water... Water... Water..."Hearing this voice, Yae Sakura in grief came back to her senses instantly and looked at the nun in a hurry. She saw the nun's bloodless lips moving slightly.Seeing this, Yae Sakura hurriedly got up, went out to get a bowl of water, and then walked in quickly.She picked up the bowl and poured it slowly on the nun's lips, but unfortunately, the nun was not fully awake, so the clear water still flowed out slowly.Seeing this, Yae Sakura had no choice but to drink a sip of water herself, then bent down and pressed her lips to the nun's pale lips.When she got close, Yae Sakura pried open the nun's teeth with her tongue and sent the clear water into her mouth.At this time, the nun, who had closed her eyes, suddenly opened them.Then, a pair of blue eyes looked at the red, cherry-like eyes...And Mei in the livestream showed a helpless expression. She softly spoke to Sakura."Maybe I already understand."But as soon as the words fell, Sakura retorted."No, you don't know enough about the Elysian Realm yet. Don't judge too early. When fighting the enemies in the Realm, you may even observe our fears and inner darkness.""That is far more terrifying than the enemy itself. You must be more careful."Hearing this, Mei felt that she couldn't stand it. Can you make it clear? Don’t use riddles!"What does this mean?"Seeing Mei's puzzled eyes, Sakura was silent for a moment, then continued."Miss Mei, in your opinion, which is more difficult to kill—a Honkai beast or an ordinary villain?"Hearing this, Mei blurted out."Honkai beast?"Sakura was not surprised by her answer."No, it's harder to kill a villain."Hearing this, Mei became more confused. Isn't it obvious that it's harder to kill a Honkai beast than an ordinary villain?"Why?""Because even if you are as fast as a moment, you still can't cut off the malice in the villain's heart. Like a maggot attached to a bone, a lotus root is cut and a thread is tied!"After saying this, Ying's eyes reflected the long horns on Mei's head and she said softly."Raiden Mei, you are indeed a special existence. There are not many Herrschers standing on the side of humans."Hearing this, Mei felt strange. She always felt that she was offended again."So?""Nothing, just be careful."Mei was silent again. She really hated these riddlers more and more now.Can she be like Kiana and just say what she wants to say directly? Why hide it?Helplessly, she continued to ask."Sakura, just say whatever you want to say."Hearing Mei's question, Sakura thought about it and said, "Miss Mei, you may not understand the Fire Moth, nor the plans it has made to defeat the Honkai. Otherwise, you would definitely realize that the meaning of the existence of the Elysian Realm is too simple.""For example, Dr. Mei, based on my understanding of her, she can't think that this is an effective plan."The more Mei listened, the more confused she became, and the audience became more confused.[I didn't Want to Take the Exam: "I can't stand it! Can you speak frankly? Does anyone really play this kind of riddle game?"][Don't Shame: "qwq, there is still joy in deciphering."][Miss Elf: "Maybe this is the charm of this game~"]...No matter how the audience complained, Sakura continued."To a certain extent, every plan of Fire Moth can be regarded as having another purpose, but few people know what that purpose is.""So, I can only remind you to be more careful."Mei was full of doubts."What should I be careful of?"Sakura didn't waste words this time and spoke directly to Mei."Shadow.""Shadow?""Yes, shadow. The Flamechasers chase the flowing fire, and the flowing fire also casts their shadows behind the Flamechasers.""You have to be careful, the shadow of Fire Moth exists here. And I can feel that she should have set her sights on you."...[Cat Cat: "Shadow? Damn, it makes me feel creepy. I no longer believe what Boss Yuexi said. What relaxing game? You are lying to the devil."][I don't want to take the test: "My head is already dizzy. What is this? Flamechasers? Just change your name to the riddle men! It's too brain-burning, my brain!"][Want to buy an island: "I suggest not to skip chapters, start from the beginning honestly. It hurts my head to see it."]Although so, Raven also decided to go to the Elysian Realm to see if it is as the livestream said.[Queen: "Boring tricks, annoying plot."][Miss Elf: "Oh, these are probably foreshadowing, but I want to see the close plot between Ellie and Mei~"][I Don't Want to Take the Exam: "Don't even think about it!"]And Theresa, who was having a headache, always felt that she had forgotten something, but for some reason, she couldn't remember it.When she was about to speak, she received a letter from the headquarters of Schicksal.Seeing this, Theresa was excited.Because this letter was probably her application to transfer Wendy out of the Oceania branch laboratory and send her to St. Freya. She made a lot of efforts for this, and she was also sure that her grandfather would agree to her application.She opened it with great expectations, and then her face darkened.Only two words [Rejected] were written in the application report, and the reason was: [Wendy, the former A-level Valkyrie of Schicksal, is now the carrier of the Gem of Desire. The final experiment will be conducted on Wendy in the near future, so the application is rejected. If you have any questions, please apply again.]At this time, Xiyue's voice came to her ears."This livestream will end. There are many easter eggs left in the livestream of the Elysian Realm today. Everyone must remember them. When the Elysian Realm is cleared later, there will definitely be a big surprise for everyone~""See you in the next livestream~"Chapter 47: Sister Xiyue is a Big Bad Guy, I Hate Her the Most!"Yawn~~"Xiyue got out of bed, stretched, and looked lazily out the window.Night had fallen, and the lights of Saint Freya Academy illuminated the surroundings. The rows of lights made her ebony eyes look hazy. After a while, she snapped out of her daze.She stretched her neck and shook her waist, causing a crackling sound.Crack!"This livestream is too tiring. Three hours is a bit much.""System, three hours a day, even the old sow next door can't be so productive."As a lazy person who did three jobs—all of them lazy jobs—under the system, she still felt the pressure of working.This isn’t good.As soon as she finished speaking, the system’s voice rang in her ears.[System Updating][Update time: 24 hours, 24 minutes, 24 seconds. Please wait patiently.]Upon hearing this, Xiyue was slightly stunned, but then happy. A system update meant the livestream timing had been adjusted, right?Just as she thought about not having the exciting lottery session, disappointment hit her.Xiyue shrugged, walked to the fridge, took out a bottle of soda and drank it down."Cool!""Summer really is the perfect match for a soda!"With a satisfied grin, Xiyue grabbed the half bottle of happy water, sat down in front of her computer, turned it on, and logged into the Schicksal secret network.It was time to report again. She opened the document and started editing.[Kiana Kaslana Observation Log 2.0]Taking a deep breath, she tapped away at the keyboard, adding a lot of unnecessary words as a liberal arts student would. Finally, she summarized it in one sentence."Report to the Overseer: Kiana is fine. Please provide further instructions."After looking over the report, which was several thousand words long, Xiyue nodded in satisfaction. She then logged in with the secret password, clicked send, and sent it successfully. She turned off the computer, finishing the task in one go.This month's salary was in, and she felt like a salary thief—stealing!She then lay back in her chair like a salted fish, clearing her mind and thinking about the livestream earlier.Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind."Does Theresa know Fu Hua’s true identity? Will she doubt Fu Hua's role?""It's highly unlikely. Even if she knows Fu Hua is from the previous era, she wouldn't doubt that Fu Hua is a spy sent by Otto, right?"As she pondered, an urgent message from the dean appeared on her address book."Instructor Xiyue, report to the Hyperion command room immediately."Upon reading this, Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Theresa found out she was a spy?This thought crossed her mind, but she quickly shook her head."That’s impossible. With Theresa’s silly little head, she could never figure it out.""Besides, I only have a single line of contact with Otto.""Could it be Fu Hua?"With doubts in her mind, she casually changed her clothes and walked toward the Hyperion. As she gazed at the impressive ship, a sense of pride swelled in her chest."This big ship... is mine!"She shook her ponytail and entered the command room. As soon as she stepped in, she saw Kiana clinging to Mei like a koala, her energetic face full of affection.Mei appears to indulge Kiana’s perverted behavior, allowing her to hold on like that.It looked like Mei in the Elysian Realm had caused a lot of damage to Kiana, though the damage was still manageable. When Lament of the Fallen plot unfolded, the damage would be greater.As a senior Kiana fan, Xiyue sighed."Poor Chong Chong~"She shook her head at Kiana and walked in, greeting Mei and Bronya, who were playing games."Good evening, Mei, Bronya."Hearing her voice, Mei and Bronya hurriedly responded."Good evening, Sister Xiyue/Teacher."When Kiana heard that Xiyue didn’t greet her, she knew Xiyue was doing it on purpose since she was so familiar with her. Her little face puffed up in dissatisfaction."Sister Xiyue!!!"Hearing Kiana's shout, Xiyue nearly burst out laughing but suppressed her smile. She looked at Kiana, who was glaring at her."Ah?""So you’re here, Kiana?""I thought you were still cleaning the deck~"As soon as Xiyue mentioned the deck, Kiana remembered the grueling task that had taken her several hours.Her eyes filled with more resentment."Sister Xiyue, do you know there are automatic cleaning robots on the deck?"Xiyue tilted her head, placed a finger on her delicate chin, and said with confusion."Ah?""Is there such advanced technology on the ship? I didn’t know~"If it weren't for the sly grin on Xiyue's face, Kiana might have actually believed her. But with Xiyue's cute and deceiving expression, Kiana could no longer hold it in."Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can’t!""Sister Xiyue, you knew all along, but you still made me clean the deck. It’s too much!""I’m going to fight you!"With that, Kiana jumped out of Mei's arms and charged toward Xiyue."Aa... Kiana, I thought you’d use it.""I didn’t expect that I still overestimated you, hahahaha."Xiyue laughed out loud, unable to contain herself. Hearing her words, Kiana rushed into Mei’s arms, crying."Mei, look at Sister Xiyue, this bad woman!""You’re just lying to me! I hate her the most! Uh-huh."Mei hugged Kiana. She looked at Xiyue’s still smiling face, feeling helpless.She knew their relationship—Xiyue liked to tease Kiana, and Kiana was always played by Xiyue. Yet, despite that, Kiana still liked to hang out with Xiyue after class, even though she was always at the mercy of Xiyue.Shaking her head, Mei decided to pretend not to see it.Xiyue saw Kiana’s reaction and wasn’t panicked in the slightest, softly speaking."I heard that the Academy recently opened a new fried chicken shop. It seems really delicious?""I was thinking of treating someone tomorrow, but since I’m hated~ I guess I’ll have to go alone and save some money. So happy!"As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, Kiana stood up, rushed to her at lightning speed, and looked at her expectantly."Xiyue, treat me! I’ll go!"Xiyue wasn’t surprised by this and smiled inwardly. But she feigned a thoughtful, sad expression, muttering to herself."Oh, I’m hated, I’m so sad.""I’m so sad that I just want to eat that super delicious family bucket... alone."When Kiana heard "super delicious," the DNA ingrained in her genes made her expression light up with excitement. She grabbed Xiyue’s hand and said eagerly."Ah? There’s someone who hates the beautiful and kind-hearted Sister Xiyue? They must be ungrateful!""Why can’t they be like me and like Xiyue the most? Oh, no, like Sister Xiyue most."She patted her chest, which was starting to take shape, and said righteously."Sister Xiyue, it’s so boring to eat alone. It’s the happiest to eat with two people!"Hearing Kiana’s words, Xiyue couldn’t hold back her smile. She pretended to be embarrassed."Then I’ll take you to eat together."As soon as the words left her mouth, Kiana jumped for joy."Yeah, Sister Xiyue, you’re so nice. Hehe!"Xiyue looked at Kiana, who was as excited as a husky, and continued."But I thought I heard someone say they hated me the most?"Before Xiyue could finish, Kiana interrupted, shaking Xiyue’s hand and explaining frantically."No way, Sister Xiyue! You must have heard it wrong!""How could anyone hate Sister Xiyue~"Standing by, Mei saw this scene and held her forehead in resignation. This was why she didn’t want to get involved.Chapter 48: Everyone is a Traitor, So Why are You Panicking?Bronya standing next to her looked at Kiana, put down the game console, and said to her, "Idiot Kiana, shame on you."Hearing Bronya's words, Kiana, who had been shaking Xiyue's hand with a smile, turned around, imitated Xiyue, and smiled at Bronya before laughing."Hehe, Bronya, you're just jealous, jealous that I can eat super delicious fried chicken, super delicious~ hehe!""I have it, you don’t. Lululu!"Seeing Kiana's action, Bronya flashed a cold look, ignored Chongchong, and approached Xiyue with the game console. She raised her little head, looked at Xiyue, and said softly, "Sister Xiyue, I want it too."Xiyue felt her heart melt upon hearing Bronya's words.Can you imagine the feeling of a petite, twin-tailed, no-nonsense loli acting coquettishly to you?Even though Bronya’s tone was light and she couldn’t make a vivid expression, Xiyue could still feel the cuteness in it.Bronya’s cuteness was well-deserved.Xiyue nodded immediately and replied softly, "Okay, okay, Bronya will go too. Order whatever you want to eat. All you can eat!"Hearing Xiyue’s words, Bronya immediately said in the sweetest voice she could muster, "Thank you, Sister Xiyue."After saying this, she looked at Kiana and shook her head slightly, full of provocation.When had Kiana ever heard Xiyue speak to someone in this kind of voice?For a moment, her eyes widened. First, she looked up at Xiyue, then at Bronya, confused for a moment.At that moment, Fu Hua also walked into the command room.The still unsure Kiana looked at Fu Hua and, recalling what she saw in the livestream, subconsciously shouted loudly, "Class monitor!"Fu Hua had just walked in when she heard Kiana’s words. She looked at her in confusion, and asked, "Kiana-san, what’s the matter?"Fu Hua’s words reached Kiana’s ears.Feeling Fu Hua’s gaze, Kiana froze, remembering what Theresa had told her—not to act rashly.She hurriedly shook her head and responded, "It's okay, it's okay, class monitor. I just wanted to call you, hahaha."Fu Hua nodded after hearing this and didn’t seem to care. She walked over to Xiyue, greeted her, and stood there quietly.Kiana was relieved when she saw this. She had almost called Hua’s name just now, but fortunately, monitor didn’t care.Xiyue looked at Fu Hua, who was resting with her eyes closed, then at the Big three. Her eyes flickered.It seems that Theresa had a purpose in gathering them here this time.“Are you going to expose Fu Hua’s identity in public? Or is there another purpose?”Xiyue’s thoughts wandered.At this time, the fully armed Himeko and Theresa, wearing a nun’s uniform and carrying Judas, slowly walked in.When Kiana saw Theresa, she asked carelessly, "Auntie, why did you call us here so late? I’m so sleepy. I haven’t eaten yet."Theresa heard Kiana’s words and glared at her fiercely."Eat, eat, eat, you idiot! You only think about eating. Look at how much weight you’ve gained!""And you're still thinking about eating!"Then she ignored Kiana, stepped to the center of the group, looked at everyone, and said in a serious tone, her face heavy, "I called you all to gather so late because there’s something about the safety of St. Freya Academy."Theresa’s words reached the ears of Xiyue and the others, and everyone showed shocked expressions.Mei asked first, "Dean, what’s the matter?"Theresa didn’t answer right away. She looked at Xiyue and Fu Hua, taking in their expressions, then said slowly, "I found a spy among us!"Hearing Theresa’s words, Xiyue’s heart trembled, but she soon relaxed.She admitted she was a spy, but she was a traitor among spies, and in the true sense, she was on the side of St. Freya.Besides, she didn’t believe Theresa would know her identity at all. Her real target was only Fu Hua.Xiyue glanced at Fu Hua from the corner of her eye and saw that Fu Hua remained calm, her face unchanged.What Xiyue didn’t know was that another person was very panicked at this moment:Bronya.When Bronya heard Theresa’s words, she subconsciously thought she had been exposed. She gripped the game console tightly with both hands, suppressed her panic, and looked at Theresa.At that moment, she was trying to figure out how to explain things to Mei and Kiana after being exposed, or whether she should just run away.For the first time, Bronya was in a dilemma.Kiana screamed, and when she was about to say something, she was glared into silence by Theresa.When Mei heard Theresa’s words, a trace of panic flashed in her heart because her father was a member of Anti-Entropy.To a certain extent, her camp could be considered Anti-Entropy, and Anti-Entropy was Schicksal’s mortal enemy.Although she had never had direct contact with Anti-Entropy, the thought of her family’s connection to it made her feel uneasy.Xiyue looked at everyone’s reactions and decided to take the lead, asking Theresa, "Does the dean mean there are spies among us?"Theresa nodded and shook her head, then crossed her arms, stared at Xiyue’s eyes with her blue ones, and said lightly, "Maybe there is, maybe not."Hearing this, Bronya breathed a sigh of relief.Kiana, on the side, wanted to say something but was stared into silence by Himeko’s eyes. She nervously looked at the four people.Xiyue remained calm after hearing Theresa’s words. With those words, Xiyue knew that Theresa didn’t really want to find the spy.After all, if there were a spy, most of the people present would be spies. If all of them were found out, the situation would be unimaginable.After thinking it through, Xiyue stepped forward and said to Theresa, "Dean, you’ve already checked my identity. I came to St. Freya Academy for an internship as soon as I graduated."Theresa nodded at Xiyue’s words and then turned her eyes to Mei.Mei hurriedly added, "Dean, you know me too. My father was involved with Anti-Entropy, but since he was imprisoned, I have had no contact with him. Besides, there’s a Herrscher in my body."Theresa nodded and turned her attention to Kiana.Kiana felt her gaze and hurriedly said, "Aunt, my Kaslana Clan is one of the three major Clans of Schicksal. How could we betray Schicksal? I want to be the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal!"Theresa didn’t bother paying attention to her.She just glanced at the idiot briefly before focusing on Bronya. She knew Bronya’s identity from the livestream, but Bronya had shown her with her life that she could not hurt Mei and Kiana, or St. Freya Academy.Bronya hugged the game console slightly and responded calmly, "Dean, Bronya will never hurt Mei or anyone else in St. Freya Academy."Theresa nodded again and then focused on Fu Hua.She was sure that Fu Hua had been sent by her grandfather to monitor her, but she didn’t know the exact purpose.The reason she did this was to see how Fu Hua would respond.Fu Hua took a breath and said to Theresa, "Dean, if I were a spy, I wouldn’t be so calm talking to you here, spending so much time with you."Upon hearing Fu Hua’s words, Theresa didn’t say anything more. She simply stared at her for a few seconds, then nodded and turned around.When she turned again, Fu Hua’s blue eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, but no one noticed.When Theresa turned back, she smiled faintly and said to everyone, "Just now, it was a test required by the Schicksal headquarters. Congratulations to everyone for passing it!"After saying this, Theresa didn’t give everyone a chance to speak, but her expression changed again.She said with a serious tone, "We have another mission tonight, and this mission is to secretly go to the Oceania branch and rescue the former A-level Valkyrie, Wendy, from the Oceania branch laboratory!""Let Himeko explain the specific details of the mission."Then Himeko, who had been silent, stepped forward, and a large screen lit up behind her.Under Kiana’s eager gaze, she began explaining the secret operation to everyone.At the same time, in the Oceania branch thousands of miles away, the final experiment on the Gem of Desire. was being prepared.At that moment, Wendy was brought out of the small dark room by the experimenters and walked toward the laboratory.Wendy knew what would happen to her next, and her mind was split. Hatred flooded her heart, trying to overtake her entire being. But she thought of what Bronya had done for her, Mei and Kiana in the livestream.Her last shred of softness had never been consumed by endless hatred.She clung to her last bit of rationality and made up her mind, repeating in her heart."I want to die. I want to die like this. I can't let Sister Bronya suffer because of me, because of me.""I want to die with her, and die with those who hurt me.""I can’t hurt those who are kind to me. I can’t, I absolutely can’t!"As the girl mumbled to herself, she was taken to the laboratory and strapped to the table.

Chapter 49: Sister, I'll Meet You~"How can the Schicksal headquarters treat an A-level Valkyrie like this? This is too much!"After listening to Himeko's explanation of the mission, Mei said indignantly. She, who never swore, almost cursed. She really didn't expect that Schicksal would do this to a Valkyrie with such great military achievements.Bronya beside her also spoke expressionless. Project Bunny also appeared behind her silently."Bronya doesn't know why Schicksal did this, but Bronya knows that Miss Wendy must be in pain right now. Bronya wants to save Miss Wendy."Kiana looked eager to do something. Knowing the original plot in advance, she couldn't wait to rescue Wendy."I want to beat all those bad guys!"Xiyue was also waving her fists on the side, with an indignant expression on her face."Yes, yes, it's really too much!""We must rescue Miss Wendy. Damn Schicksal Headquarters! I thought it was a righteous organization, but now I'm a hater!"Theresa nodded as she observed everyone's reactions. The army was ready, and then she spoke earnestly to the group."What we’re doing this time is personal, and the consequences might be serious. It's not too late for anyone to back out now."Before Theresa could finish, Kiana screamed."What consequences? I don't care. I just want to defeat those bad guys and rescue Wendy!""Bronya doesn't consider the consequences.""The dean doesn't need to say more.""Just kill them, and it's over!"Fu Hua stood quietly by the side, watching the reactions of the group, saying nothing, just nodding.Theresa listened to these words, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xiyue. Xiyue felt Theresa’s gaze and immediately went to the command desk, using her captain’s authority to activate the Hyperion.Himeko took Kiana and the others to the armed department to change into a Valkyrie battlesuit.Theresa observed everyone’s expressions, especially Fu Hua’s. When she glanced at Fu Hua, she sighed quietly in her heart."Fu Hua, will you tell Grandpa about this plan?"She turned to look at the big screen, examining Oceania on the map, and recalled the reactions of Xiyue and the others. Theresa was pleased. From these reactions, she knew she had made the right decision.However, she recalled the three young ones and Xiyue scolding Schicksal Headquarters and found it strange. She then looked up and accidentally noticed the Schicksal badge above.Only then did she realize that she was also a member of Schicksal.Although the Far East Branch had a high degree of autonomy, her grandfather had no interference here except for allocating money. But their Far East Branch was indeed a legitimate Schicksal organization.And now she was going to attack another branch of her family—it felt weird."Isn’t this considered rebellion?""No.""Grandpa, don’t blame me. I just want to bring my students back."After murmuring this softly, her blue eyes gradually became firm.What Theresa didn’t know was that at the same time she led the fleet to set off, the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, thousands of miles away, also dispatched its own fleet and was quickly heading toward Oceania.Valkyrie Armor Dressing RoomFu Hua was naked in the small compartment of the dressing room, hearing the playful sounds of Kiana and Mei. She lowered her head and stared at the Valkyrie battlesuit in her hand, her blue eyes filled with inner conflict.She could feel Theresa’s suspicion of her, but it didn’t matter.Whether Theresa truly suspected her or not, it didn’t affect her monitoring Kiana and waiting for Otto’s final mission instructions.What really troubled her was whether she should report this sudden mission to Otto.She should inform Otto about the secret mission led by Theresa. But privately, she couldn’t do that. Theresa obviously suspected her, but still brought her along on this mission.This situation contained too much information."How to choose?"Fu Hua murmured to herself. She was a person who had difficulty making choices.At that moment, Kiana’s energetic voice came from outside."Class Monitor, Class Monitor, have you changed your clothes?""Aunt Himeko is going to arrange tactics for us! Come out quickly!""Ah!""Don’t call me aunt, Kiana!"Along with Himeko's roar and Kiana's screams, Fu Hua’s mind flashed back to the days at St. Freya Academy. Her blue eyes softened as she sighed and quickly changed into the Valkyrie armor before walking out."My mission is just to monitor Kiana, and the rest has nothing to do with me, right?"She then walked toward Kiana.Meanwhile, Xiyue sitting in the cockpit couldn’t help but get excited about the upcoming action. Not only did she feel involved, but she was also changing the original ending through her actions.For an old account like hers, this was truly exciting.It was a pity, though, that she could only sit on the Hyperion and watch. Thinking of this, a golden Xuanyuan sword appeared in her hand. But as her thoughts shifted, the golden Xuanyuan sword changed form.With the blessing of the natural stigma ‘Xuanyuan,’ her strength had reached the level of an A-level Valkyrie. This strength was still acceptable in the novice village before her.But unfortunately, she couldn’t showcase her strength, so she had to pretend to be weak.Xiyue stretched out her slender legs, lazily lying in the captain's chair, a look of regret on her face."Sister, I also want to go and kill people!"As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, Kiana's confident voice came from her headset."Sister Xiyue, hehe, just look at my heroic figure!""I’m responsible for killing people, and Sister Xiyue, you just need to be responsible for laughing, hahahahaha."Listening to Kiana’s words, Xiyue’s eyes narrowed again. It seems that Kiana’s punishment wasn’t enough and needed to be intensified. Should Kiana clean the toilet this time, or should she clean the whole academy?At that moment, Kiana was happily bragging to Mei and the others, unaware that she was once again being targeted by her dear sister Xiyue.A few hours later, the Hyperion arrived above the Oceania Laboratory. The hatch slowly opened, and Theresa and Himeko walked in front, speaking to Kiana and the others."Himeko has just introduced the combat deployment, but I still need to remind you.""Our final mission is to rescue Wendy, and we will withdraw after rescuing her.""Got it?""Got it, Dean!" x4Then the six of them jumped out of the hatch one after another.Sitting in the captain's room, Xiyue was bored, watching the live broadcast on the screen. Just as she was about to "interact" with Kiana and have some fun, a deafening alarm sounded across the screen.Ai-chan, the main system of the Hyperion, spoke through the speakers."Captain, an unknown ship is attacking our position. According to Hyperion's radar, the target is confirmed to be the Anti-Entropy Fleet.""Should we inform Lady Theresa of this discovery?"Hearing Ai-chan’s words, Xiyue was slightly stunned, but soon realized what was happening—the world line was converging.However, Xiyue stood up, stared at the Anti-Entropy warship on the screen, a hint of coldness flashing in her dark eyes, and gave an order."No need to notify Theresa and the others."[Yes, Captain]Then, Xiyue grabbed her bag and walked toward the Valkyrie armor room, squinting her eyes and muttering happily as she walked."It's really a pity that you've met me when I'm sleepy—just in time.""Cocolia? I want your sister to come and meet you properly!"

Chapter 50: My Name is Ji Xuanyuan, World Serpent Greets YouWhen mentioning Cocolia, one must also mention the mortal enemy of Schicksal—Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy's predecessor was the North American branch of Schicksal, home to some of the world's largest and most renowned scientists.Thus, Anti-Entropy operates with an independent management system, distinct from Schicksal’s centralized approach. It adopts an alliance-style management system, and within it, there is a class called "Executor."Executors rank just below Welt and hold independent authority.This system was created because most of Anti-Entropy’s elders are scientific researchers who lack the ability to lead an army or operate a company. As such, the Executor system was designed to hold them accountable for their respective areas of expertise.Cocolia is one of the Executors and serves as the acting leader of Anti-Entropy. In other words, she is currently the supreme leader of Anti-Entropy.So, what kind of person is she?Xiyue can only describe Cocolia with two words: "complex" and "extreme."Of course, if Xiyue hadn’t later read the official manga, she would have described Cocolia as a ruthless, merciless figure who would do anything to achieve her goals.However, based on the manga’s portrayal, compared to a certain Green Overseer, Cocolia’s actions are extreme, but not as sophisticated. It can only be said that her ambition outweighs her capabilities.Take the human experiments, for example. Otto viewed the experimental subjects as mere tools, whereas Cocolia initially saw them as her own daughters. The Cocolia Orphanage was not originally meant for human experimentation.But her increasingly extreme personality caused her to lose her way, and eventually, she was sentenced to life imprisonment in the later plot.However, Xiyue couldn’t care less about who Cocolia was. In fact, she could say she didn’t care at all. What mattered to her was that if Cocolia appeared before Bronya, she would surely try to control Bronya, then attack Kiana, and ultimately take Wendy away.That was something Xiyue couldn’t allow. If she came to this world and couldn’t change the original plot, what was the point of her being here?So, she had to convince Cocolia to leave.“You’re Bronya’s mother, but now, I’m Bronya’s good sister.”“If you want to control Bronya, you’ll have to ask me if I agree!”At this moment, Xiyue, dressed in a gorgeous Xuanyuan Festival dress, stood atop the Xuanyuan Sword, flying towards the Anti-Entropy warship like a peerless swordsman.Meanwhile, aboard the Anti-Entropy warship, a mature woman with blonde hair and purple eyes, clad in a military uniform, was observing Theresa and the others on the screen with interest, sighing."The intelligence system of Schicksal is truly vulnerable to Anti-Entropy."Just as she spoke, a panicked voice from the Anti-Entropy members reached her ears."Report to the leader, a person suspected of being a Schicksal Valkyrie is rapidly approaching."Hearing this, Cocolia was momentarily stunned. She turned to the warship’s screen, where she saw a tall woman wearing magnificent ancient attire, a phoenix crown on her head, and a veil over her face, stepping on a golden sword, flying toward them.Cocolia’s purple eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.As a soldier, she had memorized the information and appearances of all the Valkyries under Schicksal’s command, but she did not recognize the figure before her. She muttered softly, "Is this the Valkyrie hidden by Schicksal?"Her expression turned cold. Regardless of who she was, this person must be an enemy. Cocolia never showed mercy to her enemies, and she swiftly ordered the Anti-Entropy members, "No matter who she is, prepare the ship's guns and kill her."The warship’s gun turrets aimed at the swiftly approaching Xiyue, unleashing a barrage of weapons.Facing the dense shells, Xiyue felt their power. If she were hit by several of them, even Durandal would be in trouble. But luckily, she was someone with an advantage.The Xuanyuan Festival dress she wore gleamed, and a golden barrier enveloped her entire body.Feeling the solidity of the barrier, Xiyue confidently faced the barrage. The shells slammed into the barrier, creating thick clouds of smoke.Watching Xiyue’s unflinching advance, Cocolia couldn’t help but feel a trace of mockery in her purple eyes."You really underestimate the martial arts of Anti-Entropy..."Before she could finish speaking, Xiyue appeared unscathed and had already pierced through her warship, entering the ship’s interior.Seeing this, Cocolia’s expression grew cold as ice. She raised her hand, giving more orders to her panicked members."Deploy our Titan mechas and mecha troops to destroy her."Inside the warship, Xiyue, still exhilarated by her previous soaring experience, was about to shout with joy. But she quickly composed herself, holding her sword as she scanned the spacious corridor. Underneath the veil, her face became increasingly excited. This was the essence of TV dramas: taking on challenges alone.However, just as she prepared to move forward, Xiyue’s face grew serious. She instinctively retreated.At the moment of her retreat, a current as thick as a python shot past the position she had just vacated.Xiyue swung her sword to deflect the attack, and a metallic clang rang out. Then, a cold, mature voice echoed."Who are you?"As soon as the words were spoken, Xiyue noticed more than a dozen mechas, each several meters tall, gradually appearing around her and surrounding her. Xiyue’s eyes lit up as she examined the Titan mechas closing in.This was her first time getting so close to a Titan, and it was indeed impressive.Back when she was a captain, before she had an S-rank Valkyrie, even though Titans could have easily defeat her, she had always regarded them like a first love.Before she could sigh in admiration, Cocolia’s cold gaze caught her attention.Sensing the pressure, she shrugged and casually responded."Who am I?""It's so funny, why should I tell you?"When Cocolia heard Xiyue's words, she looked at the face obscured by the veil and sneered."Oh?""That's right, I don't have time to remember the names of the dead.""Titan, kill her."As she spoke, the six or seven Titans surrounding her attacked Xiyue, all of them serious and not daring to be careless.The Titan mecha could be considered the pinnacle of Anti-Entropy's current mecha technology. Ordinary A-level Valkyries would have difficulty dealing with several Titan mechas.Fortunately, Xiyue was not an ordinary person. She had a cheat!The Xuanyuan Festival dress alone made her shield as tough as a certain Zhong-surnamed blood cow.Additionally, the Xuanyuan Festival dress could alter her appearance, height, and even her voice. It was truly the perfect equipment for both travel and robbery.Moreover, she had the Divine Key, the Xuanyuan Sword. Although the Xuanyuan Sword was a mass-produced Divine Key and the weakest among them, it was still more than enough to deal with a few or even dozens of Titans. At the very least, it could hold its ground.What's more, the Xuanyuan Festival dress and the Xuanyuan Sword could trigger buffs!While Xiyue was engaged in her game of cat and mouse with the Titans, Theresa and Kiana had already arrived at the final laboratory, where Wendy, about to undergo surgery, lay helpless on the operating table.At that moment, Wendy was collapsing under the unbearable strain of the final experiment. The Honkai energy around her grew stronger, and her body began to levitate from the operating table.With the high concentration of Honkai energy, a strong wind started swirling around the experimental table. More than a dozen experimenters looked panicked, but remembering the death order from a certain Overseer, they gritted their teeth, suppressed their fear, and continued with the experiment.As they worked, they insulted Wendy, as a certain Overseer had instructed them that the success rate would greatly improve if the subject was mentally stimulated.Wendy could no longer endure the torment, both from the physical pain and the mental abuse."Ah!"Her blue eyes began to glow with an increasingly intense blue light.Hearing Wendy’s agonized cry, Kiana and Bronya could no longer bear it. They shouted Wendy's name."Wendy!"Then, they rushed into the laboratory at full speed, attacking the experimenters with punches and kicks.When Wendy heard those familiar voices—voices she had often heard in the livestream and in her dreams—she struggled to open her eyes. When she saw Bronya’s face, she felt that the darkness in her heart gradually faded, replaced by the warmth of light."Sister Bronya!"Then, Wendy fainted....Meanwhile, Xiyue, drenched in sweat and panting, held her Xuanyuan Sword and looked at the increasing number of Titan mechas. She was growing more and more exhausted. She had overestimated herself."What a failed show-off!" Xiyue sighed inwardly.At that moment, Theresa’s voice reached her ears."Xiyue, Wendy has been rescued. Please have the Hyperion land quickly. We should retreat."Hearing this, a smile spread across Xiyue's face beneath her veil.  Previously enjoying torturing her opponent, Cocolia heard a voice in her ear and immediately realized what was happening. She quickly gave an order."All together.""Vanessa, have Wodan go out to stop the Schicksal group from retreating."These words also reached Xiyue’s ears. With a laugh, she responded to Cocolia."It’s too late, Ms. Cocolia!"After speaking, Xiyue retracted the Xuanyuan Sword, glanced at Cocolia, and waved her hand lightly as she said, "Hyperion, fire!"The Hyperion, whose main cannon had been fully charged, fired its massive electromagnetic energy cannon at the Anti-Entropy warship at Xiyue’s command.Cocolia reacted swiftly, ordering the Anti-Entropy warship to deploy its protective shield.But it was too late. The immense cannon fire struck the protective shield, pierced it, and slammed into the rear of the Anti-Entropy warship. Although it didn’t penetrate the entire ship, the impact caused the warship to vibrate violently.At that moment, Xiyue had activated the final active skill of the sacrificial dress and was unaffected by the vibrations. She then stepped onto the Xuanyuan Sword and, with a playful tone, addressed Cocolia, who was surrounded by Titans and looked furious."Ms. Cocolia, I'll tell you my name now. You must remember it~""My name is Ji Xuanyuan, and World Serpent sends its regards~""See you next time~"With those words, Xiyue turned and walked away, leaving Cocolia, her face twisted with madness, staring at her retreating figure. Cocolia’s purple eyes flashed with murderous intent as she coldly muttered to herself."What Ji Xuanyuan, what World Serpent.""Asshole, do you think I don’t know about World Serpent?""I will remember this grudge."
