Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

She abandoned human purity, enduring countless questions and the collapse of ethics and morality, pursuing evolution and immortality even in the face of ugliness. The price she paid was the ability to stroll leisurely through the devastated region.

Now she is even confident that she can fight against the First Herrscher.

If he were to reappear during the Great Collapse brought about by the Second Herrscher, Mebius could even guarantee that he could save Blanca and Velvet.

But this body, which has proven its near-immortality and tenacious vitality, represents the most advanced biological technology that humanity has achieved to date.

—It hurts!

pain.

The pain was unimaginable.

The violent energy washed over her body, tearing her shell apart. Purple lines were growing wildly on her snow-white skin, like graffiti painted on a young girl's delicate body, leaving marks all over her body along the meridians and inexplicable traces.

For the first time, Mebius felt a sense of fear about the Honkai.

It wasn't a surrender of inner will, but merely the body's instinct trembling; the body of this proud and aloof genius was trembling.

The magnitude of this energy.

What exactly will be resurrected?

-

"so……"

"Just because of this, your life has been completely ruined. All the classmates who used to fawn over you have turned into scoundrels who kick you when you're down overnight, and the customers who used to fawn over you are now treating you coldly."

Jiang Cheng gazed into Raiden Mei's beautiful, deep purple eyes and listened to her outpouring of emotions—the girl who had trusted him so quickly and was even willing to share her experiences and feelings with him.

Perhaps the time one has been suppressing one's feelings has been too long, to the point that even the most resilient heart can no longer bear the loneliness.

All punishments and penalties in the world are designed to cause pain, to teach people a lesson, and to satisfy one's sadistic tendencies.

Whether it's electric shock, skinning, dismemberment, slow slicing, castration, dismemberment by five horses, or other cruel punishments that make people feel pain just by looking at them, they all bring physical suffering to those whose interests are at odds with one's own.

Compared to punishments that focus on the physical body and different aspects of the body, one punishment in history stands out for its cruelty and uniqueness.

—Imprisonment.

It's not simply about sending them to prison, depriving them of their freedom and subjecting them to the pain of forced discipline.

Instead, even in prison, the small solitary confinement room is only used for the most heinous criminals who have committed the most serious offenses.

There was no physical pain.

It seems like they just casually locked him up.

The criminals will not be subjected to any cruelty or punishment.

It was nothing but pure darkness and silence. When you opened your eyes, all you could see was darkness, and all you could hear was the echo of your own voice.

No matter what you say or do, no one cares, no one listens, and you can't find any friends to talk to. At the end of your vision, there is only darkness and your own hands.

Loneliness can truly break a person, because human instinct, the limitations of the self, and the yearning for love and companionship make it impossible for human beings to live truly alone.

Even a top genius like Vilvie can be completely crushed by loneliness, and may even develop a mental disorder and play house with himself.

Moreover, she is just an ordinary girl, known only as the Raiden Queen and a talented individual because of her decisive and efficient actions.

despair.

miserable.

pain.

No one liked this girl—not her friends who had once been kind, not her relatives who had come from afar, not her company employees who had received favors from her father, not her strangers on the street, and not her shop owners.

From close to ordinary, from noble to lowly, people of any profession and social class in the world disliked this former aristocratic young lady.

Incomprehensible.

Can't understand.

It's normal for relatives to be unwilling to communicate because of the father's mistakes, and it's also normal for those with a strong sense of 'justice' at school to ridicule and bully him.

Why wouldn't even a passerby give her a friendly look? Why wouldn't even a shop owner on an ordinary street talk to the girl?

It's just like in a light novel, with a powerful mastermind who intentionally bullies and isolates the girl from everyone around her.

If those weren't just plots in a novel, Raiden Mei would really wonder if she had offended some powerful figure from the dark side of the world.

This leads to characters like the Dragon King in the Central Plains completely sealing off their own lives.

Even being bullied becomes, in a sense, one of the rare things that can stir up some ripples in a life as calm as still water.

This despair continued until one ordinary day, when, while he was simply staying in the grove, avoiding the bullying and ridicule of his classmates, Jiang Cheng, who claimed to be a new transfer student, burst into his stagnant life.

……

"—What they did was really too much."

The boy made his final judgment on everything he knew, and his slightly furrowed brows no longer concealed his disgust for those so-called students.

“If you don’t like someone, you can choose to ignore them or isolate them. It’s disgusting to use this method of leading the majority to bully one person, especially since this matter has nothing to do with their family.”

"At its peak, ME was the richest company in the entire region and a leader in technology. Even if you combined all of them, you couldn't buy even one percent of their stock. Even now, with the stock price having fallen a bit, it still far surpasses theirs. It's as if the misappropriation of funds has nothing to do with them."

What a great perspective. .jpg

76. Jiangcheng, do you want to enter the revival round?

"The only people in this world qualified to pick a fight with Mr. Thunder Dragon Horse are probably that world policeman from the Americas and the current prime minister from the Far East."

The sphere of influence occupied by these top-tier billionaires cannot be judged by common sense. Perhaps there is a core area, but the vast influence they exert can reach far beyond an ordinary country.

Even if we ignore the so-called high-tech company and the identity of the entropy reverser.

Lei Dian Long Ma is essentially a top-tier tycoon.

Even if something really happens to beings of this caliber, it's not something small fry can take a bite of. Only people of equal size are qualified to share it; other little guys would probably choke to death if they even took a lick.

"The truth is that the more debt you have, the more powerful you are. If you owe a hundred million, no one will treat you like anything. But if you owe a hundred million, then when you jump off a building, the banks will have to be below to persuade you to stay, and they might even use their own employees as cushions to prevent you from dying."

"Yes……"

"Is that so?"

Raiden Mei seemed to have a hard time understanding this kind of knowledge that a girl, as an ordinary high school girl, should not have to deal with at all.

I should be the father's daughter.

Why……

How come Jiang Cheng, also a high school student, knows so much?

"It's not really a difficult thing. Anyone like me who has nothing better to do understands it, though perhaps not in great depth."

Jiang Cheng's expression remained calm as he leaned against a large tree, completely absorbed in the mundane chatter he used to engage in in the chat group.

The fact that there was no core purpose and the conversation was entirely based on the mood is very much in line with the state of mind when I used to lie in bed with nothing to do.

Although this conversation was a bit high-level, it was from the perspective of someone who was once the male owner of Spiral Workshop.

Perhaps because she had once again found herself in a relaxed state where she could chat with others, Mei, the young lady, was not as reserved as before. She bent her knees slightly and sat half-sitting on the neatly manicured grass.

"so……"

"Is their behavior actually very abnormal?"

……

"It's hard to give a specific evaluation; those who know, know. But regardless of any other reasons, bullying is something that can't be called normal."

"It's not a pleasant feeling to be isolated by everyone. If you're also bullied, even the most normal person's mind probably can't bear it for long."

Jiang Cheng could empathize with the feeling of being isolated.

Even strictly speaking, everyone she encountered in the simulation, except for Alicia, who could become her friend, was an isolated individual.

The only difference between Möbius and Vervière is that the former appears stronger on the surface, while the latter has almost reached the point of suicide.

Raiden Mei is essentially somewhere in between; she's not that strong—otherwise there wouldn't be a Raiden Queen—yet she hasn't reached the point of almost committing suicide either. Right now, she's being attacked from both sides by others through bullying and isolation.

……

"That tone of voice... Have you ever had a similar experience?"

Perhaps it's because they came from the same trauma.

Perhaps it's because I can sense this subtle emotion.

Perhaps it's because this feeling has become ingrained in my bones.

Raiden Mei could keenly sense that there was a deep empathy in that voice that shouldn't be present in ordinary bystanders or students chatting idly by the roadside.

This is not just the impact of being bullied and isolated during this period, but an experience of being empathized with like never before in my entire life.

In the past, young girls always revolved around this recognition, including their efforts to learn swordsmanship from the Houmu Sword Saint, their diligent study of knowledge, and their attempts to maintain the demeanor of a refined and elegant lady from a Yamato Nadeshiko family.

These seemingly natural behaviors are actually nothing more than attempts to gain his approval and praise from their father.

Even though I've never been pitied by anyone before, why do I suddenly have someone I can talk to?

Raiden Mei finds it hard to judge whether she's lucky or unlucky today, with pebbles on her shoes and graffiti all over her desk, just like any other day.

……

Being pitied by others might be considered a disgrace by them.

In typical light novels, haughty young ladies, kendo geniuses, or outstanding upperclassmen are all very arrogant people. If they encounter difficulties and are shown concern by others, they may not only fail to appreciate it but also become very angry.

They will arrogantly raise their heads and adopt a disdainful attitude, and they will feel disgusted by the comfort offered by others.

The girl even saw a knight being seduced while shouting, "Hmph, I'll remember this grudge," on a website that normal girls shouldn't be looking at.
