Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Crossing the river, crying loudly, rolling around on the ground.

……

Since the Second Honkai Impact, Möbius, who lost everything, no longer has his own room. Instead, he lives entirely in the laboratory and doesn't even need a separate room; he can just lay down a carpet.

Because all aspects of life—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—were done in one place, we could study almost as soon as we woke up and go back to sleep after finishing our research. As a result, the experiments progressed at an astonishing rate.

It was simply because no one could truly understand her anymore, or know what was in her heart, and Mebius was unwilling to let anyone else understand or get close to her.

There's no need to release the experiments beyond the final product, since no one in the world will understand them anyway.

Trust in their own safety, and trust in the technology left behind by Vilvi and Jiang Cheng, led them to store all the experimental data in one place.

This is a very, very bad habit.

At least at this moment, Mebius has come to realize that this is a bad habit.

……

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

[You have no idea that Möbius's defenses have now reached a point second only to the day Blanca died, and second only to the day Jiang Cheng died.]

The fairy, already wounded and silenced, has almost lost the ability to empathize. Even if you knew, you wouldn't feel any guilt, would you?

Despite knowing you deserve your fate, despite knowing you don't deserve redemption, don't deserve salvation, and aren't even qualified for atonement, the cruel torture this wicked scientist inflicted on you remains etched in your memory.

That girl discovered the source of your deepest pain and understood how to plunge you into the deepest despair and suffering from which you could not escape.

In fact, Mebius did just that.

That period of time truly felt like an eternity.

[Especially, it's important to clearly realize that you can't be of any help in Jiangcheng's resurrection.]

This feeling of helplessness and powerlessness, if it weren't for the fact that you've completely gone mad, would probably make you so sad and heartbroken that you'd be heartbroken all day long.

It doesn't matter anymore.

[This is different from the past, where people often expressed self-denial and self-loathing, claiming they had fallen into depravity and tainted by filth and filth.]

[Now I'm saying you're a bad person, a bad person who can't see a single shred of light or brilliance, a villain who only exists in fairy tales.]

This can be described as a standard, serious statement or adjective, rather than a special usage at a particular time with any exaggeration.

Sometimes, people really should lower their standards. If things hadn't turned out this way, if you hadn't completely abandoned everything you once cherished, you'd probably still be suffering, suffering for the rest of your life.

[In the absence of Jiangcheng, living a solitary life for decades or even centuries, perhaps one day he would perish along with human civilization.]

That would be far too desperate; even the most terrifying punishments in the world would seem insignificant compared to it.

At least for now, you can still take the boy beside you, who, like before, only has eyes for you, to the very source of your memories.

[Crossing endless plains and countless rift valleys created by Honkai energy, walking along hillsides that were once covered in flowers in past memories.]

[Thanks to their Herrscher nature, they can walk as if on flat ground even in places where Honkai energy is almost liquefied, and it even makes high-dimensional life forms like Herrschers, whose essence is Honkai, feel a sense of replenishment.]

Although the once familiar path is now blurred beyond recognition, destroyed beyond recognition by the great collapse you created.

The path always leads to that one and only place, one that will never change.

[—Vostok-51.]

[Or use the language of the new residents.]

[—Eternal Paradise.]

A place where flowers bloom and birds fly side by side.

You gently held the boy's hand, not daring to loosen your grip even slightly, nor wanting to, pressing your soft, delicate body tightly against him, greedily savoring his warmth and the temperature emanating from within you.

Because she feared her actions would offend Jiang Cheng, she dared not actually tie herself to the boy like a pervert.

Otherwise, you'd probably be thinking about deeper conversations, or even more intimate exchanges.

【"Don't worry."】

"You could stick them closer together."

Jiang Cheng seems to have sensed your subtle thoughts, those buried deep within your heart, a kind of luxurious hesitation that has only now surfaced.

"Based on general human rationality, even calling us lovers after doing that kind of thing seems too cold and indifferent; only male and female perverts would fit the bill more."

"Even when no one is around, doing something like that in public, especially with such extreme methods, is far too unusual. Luckily, we are Herrschers, so we don't have to worry about physical harm."

"Why didn't you be more careful? Even professionals wouldn't dare do something like this."

"Even a Herrscher's body shouldn't be treated like this."

"If it were Jiang Cheng, he would definitely feel heartbroken."

[Your dark pupils illuminated the girl's shameless face, and you buried your head head deep into the strands of hair at the back of the boy's neck, completely unconcerned.]

Even Jiang Cheng found it difficult to cope with this obsessive infatuation, a behavior so different from the somewhat morbid girl he remembered.

The tone was as gentle as ever, and the slight upturn of her lips perfectly matched the image of your childhood, showing no fading despite the loss of emotion or the blurring of memory.

【It doesn’t matter. 】

This intimacy doesn't matter.

This possessiveness is, of course, nothing to do with it.

[This was Alicia's wish all along, wasn't it?]

……

"I...of course I know~?"

"I still can't quite believe you're already here in my life. If you want me to remember you, I'll have to use some drastic measures, won't I?"

"Over such a long time, I've become a bad guy. If all else fails... just pretend I actually enjoy that kind of roughness, okay?"

"Alicia is no longer the cute girl she once was. Thirty years have passed, and she can now be called a young woman~?"

The girl stubbornly buried her face in the boy's clean neck, using her ability to fly to stroll and circle in the air, her usual flippant words showing no sign of remorse.

—Only now did she understand why Wilvi always hoped to do things with Jiang Cheng that would be considered extreme by normal people.

Even with the body of a genius, he was still limited to the posture of an ordinary person; his soft skin and plump flesh could still be damaged.

Even if the sensation coming from the body is real and cannot be concealed, it cannot be shown to be too painful.

It's not that they don't feel pain, nor that they particularly like this behavior; it's simply that they crave something unique that comes from themselves.

Let the pain, the pain that comes only from childhood, become a real sense of the existence of everything that exists.

—This is something only Jiang Cheng and I can do.

—This is something only I am willing to do with Jiang Cheng.

Such excessive behavior is something that others certainly cannot bear, and they should be afraid just by hearing about it. I am the only one in the world who would take such a initiative.

No one is truly unique in any one aspect; a large population base results in an extremely large number of people with similar experiences.

Perhaps a person who combines all his thoughts, all his characteristics, all his hobbies, and all his past is almost impossible to replicate, making him an extremely unique and independent individual in this world.

However, if it's only a small part, then no one in the world can guarantee that they are better than anyone else in any particular aspect.

Achieving complete transcendence is something inherent in human nature that cannot be accomplished.

Human beings are destined to create flawed and different personalities.

In contrast to this imperfection, humanity has always craved to be favored.

They crave their own uniqueness.

They crave their own uniqueness.

Compared to their uniqueness, their lovers noticed their irreplaceable nature, the one and only that others could never replace.

This could be a preference, or a unique characteristic in a certain aspect—however, simple love alone is not enough to satisfy the pursuit of uniqueness, and most of the time it is even one of the main reasons for the pursuit of uniqueness.

Because one cannot control or manage another person.

They can't even know the other person's detailed thoughts.

If you try to put yourself in someone else's shoes, you'll be amazed at how many thoughts might pop into your head in a single second.

Putting yourself in someone else's shoes, the unknown contained within the endless stream of thoughts and ideas that are enough to shock anyone is deeper than darkness.

Humans develop fear due to this uncertainty and unknown nature.

Am I not unique enough?

Will my lover abandon me?

……

My new chapter was taken down because I wrote something that shouldn't be written, which is normal. My first book, Raiden Mei, was also frequently taken down. But the problem is, shouldn't a message be added saying "This chapter has not yet passed review" when a chapter is taken down?

Why were our eighty chapters swallowed up?

Furthermore, why does our author backend say "pending release" instead of "under second review," and even then, it says "awaiting release on November 30, 2023"?

Do you want us to borrow Doraemon's time machine to go back to yesterday?

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Also, the temperature has dropped quite a bit recently. I don't know how it is for you guys, but the weather here is wildly fluctuating, completely illogical. If you go out for half an hour, it can go from sunny to freezing cold, and you have to run back home. I feel like I'm about to die.

I've caught a cold and started coughing again, and my head is spinning again.
