I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Bronya watched as Li Xiao walked directly towards Raiden Mei, and she quickly followed.

"Hello, are you Raiden Mei?"

Raiden Mei looked up in confusion at the black-haired, black-eyed boy who had appeared in front of her at some point. She didn't understand why anyone at school would talk to her.

"Hello... I'm Raiden Mei, may I ask who you are?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Xiao."

"Li Xiao? Are you from Shenzhou? Why are you looking for me?"

"Well... how should I put it, you're now caught up in a very terrible conspiracy, and we're here to help you."

"you?"

Raiden Mei only then noticed Bronya standing next to Li Xiao.

She looked at the two of them and sighed, "I'm just a down-on-her-luck young lady now, and I have nothing to deceive you about."

Who said that? Aren't you a person who's easy for me to fool?

Of course, Li Xiao wouldn't voice these thoughts.

"I know this is hard to believe, but please let us finish. After all, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your father, would you?"

"Dad?! You know anything about him?"

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly, not even caring about the bento box that had been knocked over.

She hasn't seen her father in a long time since he was arrested on suspicion of financial crimes, and she hasn't been able to get any news about him.

“Miss Raiden, I know you’re in a hurry, but please don’t rush.”

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Raiden Mei felt her blood pressure spike for some reason.

However, in order to get news of her father, she took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to hit someone.

"Excuse me, where is my father?"

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to have a proper chat."

"it is good."

Raiden Mei didn't even ask the school for leave. She took the two of them and left the school directly, heading towards a coffee shop that she used to like very much.

Although she was eager to get news about her father, she wasn't foolish enough to bring two strangers to her home.

Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Raiden Mei politely asked the owner for a private room and then led the two inside.

After sitting down, Raiden Mei immediately spoke:

"May I ask you to tell me about my father now?"

She was sitting upright, exuding an air of a young lady from a wealthy family, as if she wanted to make the two people opposite her not look down on her.

"Does Miss Raiden know about Honkai?"

"what is that?"

Raiden Mei was bewildered.

"The manifestations of Honkai are unpredictable. War, infectious diseases, climate disasters, all sorts of calamities could be caused by Honkai. Simply put, Honkai is the enemy of civilization."

When a massive collapse occurs, it may give rise to Herrschers. Herrschers, also known as messengers of the gods, possess various incredible powers.

And now, someone wants to turn you into the Herrscher of Thunder to achieve her goals; your father was also framed by her.

Raiden Mei felt like she was listening to a story. Although she did have a chuunibyou (delusional) side, she was also able to distinguish reality from fiction.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li Xiao."

Just call me Li Xiao.

“Okay, Li Xiao, I don’t doubt what you’re saying, but this is really too unbelievable.”

Do you know what your father does?

"My dad? What does that have to do with him?"

"Among the organizations fighting against the Honkai in this world, there is one called Anti-Entropy, and your father is the executive officer of Anti-Entropy."

"Dad actually..."

Raiden Mei was somewhat incredulous. She then looked at Li Xiao and said:

"How can you prove that this isn't a story you made up?"

"It's very simple." Li Xiao smiled and urged his power.

Soon, a gentle breeze enveloped Raiden Mei, causing her body to float directly into the sky.

Raiden Mei was initially a little panicked, but after she got used to it, her expression became somewhat excited.

"It's actually true! Superpowers really exist in this world..."

Seeing that she believed him, Li Xiao put her back down on the chair.

Raiden Mei calmed herself down before speaking to Li Xiao and Bronya:

"So, you came to me because someone wants to turn me into that Herrscher of Thunder?"

"That's right, and the mastermind behind this incident is another executive from Anti-Entropy named Cocolia. She's the one who put your father in prison. All for your sake."

"Did I hurt Dad?" Her expression turned somewhat remorseful.

"This is not your fault, but Cocolia's fault. You don't need to blame yourself."

"So what should we do now?"

"I do not know either."

"Eh?"

Raiden Mei was stunned.

"Originally, I wanted to directly address the root of the problem, which is Cocolia, but someone didn't want me to do that."

At this point, he glanced at Bronya. He knew what Bronya was thinking, and he didn't say anything.

Besides, Cocolia is, after all, his future mother-in-law, so it's better if he doesn't have to do it himself.

Bronya remained expressionless upon hearing this, seemingly lost in thought.

"Then...can you rescue my father first?"

Raiden Mei asked somewhat cautiously.

After she finished speaking, seeing Li Xiao's slightly furrowed brows, she quickly added:

"If you find it difficult, then forget it."

"No, rescuing your father would be easy for me, but the problem is, do you know where he's being held?"

"Eh? Don't you know?"

Raiden Mei thought that since he knew so much about her father, he would know where her father was now, but it turned out that even he didn't know.

Li Xiao didn't know where the Thunder Dragon Horse was imprisoned, but he could find it if he wanted to use his Wind Listening ability. Or, if all else failed, he could ask Bronya.

However, Raiden Ryoma cannot return so quickly, at least not before Raiden Mei has been completely won over by him.

Otherwise, putting aside Raiden Ryoma's doting father nature, given Raiden Mei's personality, having a father to rely on would make winning her over much more difficult.

Anyway, Raiden Ryoma had a comfortable time in prison, and I heard he even gained weight after he got out.

"Is this so..."

Unable to rescue her father, Raiden Mei seemed somewhat disappointed.

"It's alright, Miss Raiden, we'll help you together."

"Just call me Mei."

Raiden Mei decides to get closer to the other person, since after understanding the current situation, the other person is the only one who can help her right now.

"Okay, Mei."

"So what should we do now? Are we just going to do nothing?"

"Of course not, we can report Cocolia."

"Reporting, do you mean calling the police?"

"The police are useless against someone like her. The report I'm referring to is to report to Destiny, the enemy organization of Anti-Entropy, as well as to those within Anti-Entropy who oppose Cocolia."

"Would they even care about something like this?"

"How could they not care? This concerns the lives of millions of people in Changkong City. As long as they appear to be acting righteously, they absolutely won't ignore it!"

Of course, Otto might not necessarily get involved in this matter, since that old silver coin Otto definitely knew about it and tacitly approved of it.

But Theresa, along with Tesla and Einstein who reversed entropy, would definitely intervene if they found out.

They may not be good at management, causing their organizations to be in chaos, but at least they are kind-hearted.

If he had sent a message to Durandal, Cocolia would have been in no way able to escape, but since he also had to consider Bronya, he decided not to notify Durandal.

"The lives of millions of people?!"

Raiden Mei's face suddenly turned pale. She hadn't heard Li Xiao mention anything like this!

"The birth of every Herrscher is a disaster for the surrounding area. If you become a Herrscher, then Changkong City will most likely be destroyed."

Raiden Mei looked down at her hands, her eyes glazed over.

"I...will destroy Changkong City? I..."

She suddenly felt nauseous, wanting to vomit but unable to.

"Mei!"
