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

"It seems... I'm the one who's more suspicious?"

Although it is a question, it is expressed in an affirmative tone.

The pale white finger pointed in the opposite direction at herself, and Wilvi was somewhat surprised... yes, surprised.

If there's a suspicion that she killed Kevin, she's happy to accept such rumors, which is a huge affirmation for someone so determined to achieve their goal, even if she didn't.

Subsequently, to prove her innocence, Velvet showed Mei her various weapons against Kevin.

Hats, lasers, walls, dolls... Mei saw all sorts of bizarre weapons, and she finally became convinced that they really had no effect on Kevin.

It's clear that Vervier has put a lot of thought into it, and her innovative ideas deserve praise.

It should be said that... it only focuses on innovation, excluding practical aspects.

[Kevin: Listen to me, thank you...]

Unity?

Indeed, given that Vilvie made no attempt to conceal her intentions, confirmation was necessary first.

"Pfft... As expected of Velvet, she dispelled Mei's doubts directly. But... I've rarely seen weapons for Kevin that cost over four figures."

Alicia covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing at Kevin with a teasing look.

The other person's expression remained icy, but it was not like the real him; there was a hint of helplessness in it, as he had been forced to participate in Wilvi's inventions several times.

It’s very troublesome…

"Because most of them were destroyed by me the moment they were created, and some were rejected by Mei as soon as the blueprints appeared. It's a real pity, some of them still had a lot of potential."

"It's okay," Wilvi said with some regret, but she quickly cheered up again. "I have a lot of new ideas now, especially after the battle against So."

"I will definitely defeat Kevin!"

Vilvi's eyes gleamed with excitement. If she could replace the word with "collapse," it might be more in line with her heroic identity.

Kevin sighed, "..."

"Oh—, just one thing to remind you, I burned more clothes than you can imagine. For example, I 'accidentally' burned someone's wardrobe, and among a bunch of green skirts, there was even a pink one mixed in, hahaha—"

Qianjie laughed mockingly.

Aside from Mebius, Alicia also twitched her lips and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Chapter 75 A Thousand Tribulations: Sakura is innocent!

Although Alicia's first suspicion was that Qianjie was the target, the fact that he said it made it even more certain.

She finally managed to slip the pink dress inside, only to find the next day that Mebius looked completely oblivious.

So that's where the root of the problem lies.

"What's wrong with you Yingjie people? Putting aside the fact that you're not fighting against the external enemy together, why is Wilvie trying so hard to get rid of Kevin? What grudge does Kevin have against you?"

Kiana cast a surprised glance over, gaining a deeper understanding of the easily startled magician.

On one hand, the fact that someone who always talks about taking down the boss has managed to live a comfortable life to this day is enough to prove her ability.

"Should this be considered a prior offense, or a tradition?"

Luo Mo blinked, offering an explanation.

"This is clearly a bad personal habit of Wilvie's, isn't it?"

"Hey, stop talking about me. Maybe I just think... if we can defeat Kevin, maybe we can defeat the Honkai. That's right, that's what I think!"

As she spoke, Vivi became more and more confident, her arguments logical and convincing, convincing herself that she truly believed it.

Striving to defeat the Honkai is such a convenient excuse.

"So, did you finally succeed? Was there any device that could defeat Kevin?"

Bronya asked about this.

"Yes, there are results... but they can only deal with Kevin in Paradise. Here it is, perfect timing, six six six."

Velvi raised her finger and pointed to the screen.

Mei inside faces a choice: to challenge the last model of armor.

...

As expected, all of Kevin's forces were defeated.

Mei strongly suspected that the version the other party presented was just to fob her off. At least, the terrifying feeling of stiffness she felt when she last held the blade to the other party was genuine; she couldn't swing that sword smoothly.

Every hero is a force to be reckoned with.

However, when she tried to challenge the last model, she was stopped by Velvi.

"As for Kevin's Armor Model 666... ​​Unfortunately, this one cannot be activated. Although, if we want to defeat Kevin, this is the only one that can be considered foolproof."

"Infallible? I rarely hear that assessment. You just said that no armor could defeat Kevin."

Mei sheathed her blade, no longer doubting the woman before her.

Compared to other heroes, she knew very little about Vervi, but she did have a slight understanding of her madness after what had just happened.

Of course, there are also some unreliable aspects.

"The real Kevin is of course invincible, but the memory version of him is not. For example, this Paradise Data Irreversible Big Surprise Cleaning Tool... is model number 666. It can't solve Kevin, but it can solve Paradise."

"However, Kevin in Paradise cannot exist outside of Paradise yet~"

Vilvi laughed heartily, watching Mei's horrified expression with great interest, which she found quite amusing.

"Solve... Paradise?"

Mei murmured the word, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Vervie.

Was the other party's solution... the one she understood?

She stared intently at her hands. Although they were empty, the device in front of her had also appeared out of thin air. She was afraid that the other person would do something illogical.

"Hehe, it's just a device that deletes Paradise with one click. But it's obsolete now. Putting aside the fact that it would destroy me, the activation conditions no longer exist. In short, just ignore it."

Vervi's voice rose considerably, her gray eyes showing a hint of interest. She watched with satisfaction as Mei's face conjured up a performance that seemed like magic.

From ashen to pale, then back to rosy... it perfectly matched her pre-planned scenario, making the corners of her mouth curve up even more.

Mei relaxed slightly; it would be best if it couldn't be activated.

Paradise has been deleted, and she, who was in Paradise, will probably not be spared either.

"So you should be sure that my doubts have been dispelled, right? Obviously—the murderer is not any of us."

She blinked, her smile never fading.

That's right, even she, who spends every day thinking about how to kill Kevin, couldn't do it. Other heroes simply can't do it silently.

The misty sunset enveloped the amusement park, now devoid of laughter and joy. As Alicia went missing, a thin layer of sadness seemed to settle over this world of her imagination. Although Mei knew it was just an illusion, the absence of someone who brought her laughter and the impact of the current treacherous situation.

Time passed slowly, but Mei and her friends did not find any more valuable clues.

Velvi offered to join her in the search, saying she wouldn't mind being a detective in addition to being a magician.

Of course, on the other hand, Mei could also be made a witness.

—She missed quite a few meetings, which prevented Mei from gaining a deeper understanding.

But whatever the reason, she chose to act alongside Mei.

...

In the hall,

"Activation conditions? Why is there such a dangerous device?"

Kiana was surprised and suspicious. After all, no matter how you looked at it, it shouldn't be possible to place such a device in Paradise, right?

What if someone accidentally triggers something, or what if a few reactionary heroes want to take revenge on society?

Just like my recent suspicions about Sakura, if it really was a betrayal, wouldn't activating it directly be a disaster? Only a madman would make something like that.

It's like putting a bomb in a safe house, but the bomb is so strange that it only manages to destroy the safe house.

"Isn't this where it comes in handy? If it weren't for a certain hero who was hiding his true strength, wouldn't this have allowed us to kill the mastermind behind the killing of Kevin and Alicia first?"

Vervi raised her chin, slightly smug, and said that everything she made was useful.

It's just that we haven't discovered its usefulness yet.

"So, you expected this all along?" Kiana looked at her suspiciously.

"Well... um!"

Wilvi answered without hesitation, her sincerity evident.

"Don't believe her nonsense. She just wants Kevin's memory to disappear, but the memories in the Paradise of the Past are complicated and difficult to achieve, so she took a different approach."

Mebius ruthlessly exposed Vervi's excuse, and said irritably.

"What about the activation conditions? It seems you all know about the existence of this device, but what stringent activation conditions would make you all accept its continued existence?"

Mei looked back after thinking for a moment and said that she always thought more about the details.

The story only states that model 666 cannot start, but does not say that it no longer exists.

“Well…” Wilvi stroked her chin, lost in thought.

"Could it be that all the heroes agree? But if one is defeated, it can't be activated, so does that mean it's useless?" Bronya tried to analyze.

"...That wasn't part of my program, so I'll save it for later? Consider it a little surprise."

Vilvi brushed off the question, her gaze wandering aimlessly, only lingering on Alicia for a fleeting moment.

"Hmm?~"

Alicia smiled in response.

...

Mihoyo Company

"What kind of twisted sense of humor is this, boss? The plot is starting to resemble a murder case. Do we really have to make the heroes guess it one by one?"
