To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Ah—I'm so envious.

I haven't wanted to leave for a single moment longer, especially after that incident...

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Mei spoke coldly, stopping their idle chatter and steer the conversation back on track.

She was more curious about something else at that moment.

"You once said that every World Serpent's leader has been baptized in Paradise, which means... you have all reached that final destination?"

She stared at the raven, her purplish-red eyes flickering slightly, but with a more scrutinizing quality.

Raven simply shrugged, somewhat indifferently indicating that each visitor encountered different trials, and the so-called 'conditions for passing' varied from person to person.

"So...did you encounter any unusual situations at the time?"

Mei narrowed her eyes and asked with some curiosity.

Recently, a dark green, viscous liquid has been frequently appearing in Paradise, along with trial spaces where the light suddenly turns black or dim. Although Klein says it's an anomaly in Paradise... she's still curious about the reason behind it.

Or is she really the only one who is special?

"Abnormal situation...which one? You were also blocked in your way by that masked man?"

The raven asked incredulously,

She thought she was the only one who was so unlucky as to run into Ying Jie, who was the most difficult person to talk to.

"...No, that's not it. It's Administrator Klein..."

Mei was at a loss for words when she heard what the other person said.

To be honest, isn't it surprisingly consistent in everyone's opinion of Qianjie?

In a sense, this also reflects consistency.

However, she never explicitly stated her true purpose for coming here, or perhaps she believed the reason given casually by the other party—to assist in the repair of the organization's important assets.

...

"As expected of you, Qianjie. But you also encountered that Raven lady? I don't seem to remember her at all."

With a smile, Vervi teased Qianjie's sensitive nerves, unafraid of any signs that might trigger his anger.

Ultimately, with both sides' strengths constrained, the gap between them has actually narrowed further. If there were sufficient raw materials, a reversal of their combat power would not be just empty talk.

"Hmph—I don't remember at all, but...they were pretty fast."

Qianjie snorted coldly and made his assessment.

While on the battlefield, many would say he has a keen sense of danger, but... how could he possibly obtain his mark if he fled immediately after making contact?

"Oh dear, but Paradise... why is it malfunctioning?"

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big flaw in what I made!"

Wilvi casually ran her fingers through her hair, and said with some confusion,

After all these events, including the existence of the Herrscher of Knowledge and Otto's fleeting appearance, everyone is now convinced that the game depicts a real world.

So... why would such a loophole appear in another world's paradise?

Is it really because of the special nature of the Herrscher?

"Ha—then we should cut your budget, reduce it to the same level as Möbius's."

Qianjie said with schadenfreude,

Even if I don't know much about this, Mebius is definitely on the list of the most disliked researchers in the Fire Moth, because his funding is pitiful compared to other research institutes of the same level.

Of course, he watched this with his arms crossed and a smile.

The worse off Mebius is, the happier he will be.

If you feel sadness or regret for that woman, I'm sorry, you've got the wrong person.

"That's not the case... Mebius's level is not something I can reach in a short time. Besides, there's no funding right now. As long as the Honkai isn't eliminated, you guys are keeping a close eye on it, aren't you?"

At this point, Wilvi unusually voiced some complaints.

Sigh, why doubt her? Isn't Möbius enough?

She doesn't have the same bad reputation as the other person.

“If we could really keep a close eye on you, the last incident wouldn’t have happened.”

Kevin said coldly, his posture unchanged, as if he had been frozen in place from beginning to end.

"Oh, I was just thinking of doing more for this civilization."

"Everything about the Holy Mark speaks for itself..."

"But that's not a power that humans can control... You probably think so too."

"..."

...
