Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Such a long time, such a cruel experience, a life without any support... Just how badly was Raiden Mei hurt?

Normal people are the kind of people who would go crazy if they stayed in a dark room for a few days. They can scare themselves so much by seeing despair that they can't sleep at night.

So, what level had this girl reached, how crazy and broken, after spending years in that dark room, being steeped in despair and immersing herself in darkness, opening her eyes countless times and struggling to swim upwards with all her might, only to be dragged to deeper waters by the heavy tentacles?

……

do not know……

9五零⒈八０九0㈨

This wasn't the first time the boy had encountered such a morbid person, nor was it the first time he had personally witnessed someone with such severe, pathological psychological problems.

It wasn't just about understanding them through novels, anime, or comics, or hearsay; it was about having real, long-term, close contact with two morbid individuals.

Even so, I still don't know.

Even so, it's still unclear.

Because even Velvi and Alicia were abnormal from the beginning; one was a top genius, and the other was born a goddess.

Only Alicia's experience is somewhat similar. She has an ordinary, happy past, spent her childhood peacefully in a small town, and her later travels were also very fulfilling. The girl is also kind beyond the normal.

Immersed in happiness and sweetness, the girl maintains the same kindness, treating the world that has always been cared for with happiness and love.

Until he left, until he died, until he opened his eyes again several years later, he defeated a prime minister from the Far East and won the resurrection match.

The boy had no idea what had happened, what kind of people Alicia had met, or why she had broken down like this.

I had never paid any attention to him before, and I hadn't even glanced at him in all that time. I hadn't even offered him any help before he died. Why is it that the girl's personality and will seem to have been adjusted or reversed? The sudden change in her personality is so dramatic that even the analogy of bungee jumping doesn't do it justice.

All he knew was that when he opened his eyes again, he saw a morbid pervert bowing deeply in apology.

That pure, kind, goddess-like girl who loved the world has disappeared, or perhaps she never existed in the first place and was merely pretending.

In short, the boy was unaware of this and did not understand it. Although he had a deep understanding of Wilvie, the girl's pure self-destructive personality disorder and yandere attachment were completely different and opposite personality traits.

Perhaps their inner essence is exactly the same: they all crave love and care, and are willing to give everything they have for it.

The causes of psychological disorders, the ways in which they actually unfold, and the ways in which they are pursued... no two people's symptoms are exactly the same.

The psychological problems of laborers cannot be solved by a template, because no two people's personalities and experiences are exactly the same. Even the slightest difference can lead to differences, creating a unique score that belongs only to that person.

Their ways of craving love are completely different. At least when Velvi really encounters something, she will only choose to suffer internally and explode on her own.

Mei, for example, transformed into a Herrscher, and it wasn't even an accidental or unintentional act that led to her becoming withdrawn; rather, she wielded her authority.

This was the first time Jiang Cheng felt somewhat unable to understand that he had once considered himself the third person in the world who understood him best, and also the third person who could understand him.

……

It can't possibly escalate quickly to a lament for sinners.

Unlike Kiana, I didn't contract a serious illness and plan to wait to die alone, did I?

She didn't even leave as a prerequisite; she just went outside to sleep for a day. Theoretically, Raiden Mei shouldn't even know that.

I made a point of concealing my presence when I left, to ensure that absolutely no one in the world would know that I suddenly left last night.

How could Raiden Mei possibly know?

Could it be that the box has been opened?

She couldn't possibly know my address, could she?

Even if they knew, they wouldn't necessarily come, would they?

Raiden Mei is, after all, a lady from a respectable family, a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), and not at all that perverted. This kind of behavior is something that will definitely lower her likeability.

For people with personality disorders, anything that might cause dissatisfaction or reduce the affection of those important to them is absolutely rejected, avoided, and refused; they dare not even cross that line.

Just like how I sometimes put some props on Wilvie before going out, even though I only whispered to her to try not to take them off, the girl would still wear those props for a whole day, and even when she was about to faint from all sorts of interference, she wouldn't give up.

There was no other reason than that she didn't want to disappoint herself and was worried that she would disappoint herself if she didn't persevere to the end.

There was no dissatisfaction, because the girl was already very clear that she would not be dissatisfied over such a small matter; she was simply worried about her own emotions.

That's all.

Raiden Mei will not be spared.

This is an experience gained from spending almost a month together.

……

"Raiden Mei..."

Jiang Cheng no longer wanted to hide things so furtively.

We already know how serious the problem is.

Then let's try to resolve the matter openly and honestly, and save Raiden Mei from the extremely bad situation that his involvement has derailed.

She's just a mere Herrscher of Thunder. It's not like we haven't fought her before. She even manipulated her precious core and turned it into a weapon.

His feet left the ground once more, but the gravity that could bind the soul was meaningless to the boy.

With his palm gently pressed against the floating Star Sea Harmony, he was completely awakened and began to move, absorbing the surrounding energy as if it were about to devour even the light itself—this was not the previous control of energy or the aftershocks of a casual action, but a Herrscher strike truly delivered using the Divine Key.

On a distant floor, almost half a city away, where lightning had been partially vaporized and liquefied, a white-haired, arrogant girl who had accidentally stumbled into a high-level game was cursing and dodging the lightning.

Before she could recover from the dazzling lightning, the girl, sensing a new energy fluctuation and noticing something amiss, looked up with teary eyes, only to be startled by a sudden ray of sunlight.

When she finally came to her senses and wiped away her tears, the sight that came into view through the half-liquefied window made her gasp in astonishment.

The lightning was swallowed up.

The thunderclouds that had been hanging like a black curtain over the entire city suddenly revealed huge holes at the edges of the view.

It was clearly an accumulated heaviness, as if it were about to press down at any moment, like the heaven and earth that had not yet been separated by the gods in mythology.

Yet, reflected in those still tear-filled, azure eyes, was a desperate situation where even the seemingly endless and heavy clouds were about to vanish.

It's as if a black hole, which exists only in distant galaxies and can only be observed through astronomical telescopes, has actually descended into this world.

Even the oppressive clouds and lightning, like omens of the end of the world or the arrival of the final boss in the game, were swallowed up by the void that seemed to come from nowhere. Not to mention sound, even the lightning itself, which travels at the speed of light, which can cross 300,000 kilometers per second, could not escape its pull.

It's like a sign that the planet is about to be destroyed, the mutual tearing and destruction, like a scene from a dream, but the biggest and most desperate nightmare.

what……

what……

Abba Abba…

The white-haired girl subconsciously thought she was seeing things, and unconsciously reached out to rub her eyes, her azure eyes already showing circles.

unbelievable.

Incredible.

Her delicate little mouth, as red as a cherry, opened wide without her realizing it, the wide opening making her look like a character straight out of a comedy cartoon.

Even though I never went to school, my journey and past experiences did fill in some gaps in my basic educational knowledge. At least in terms of some basic common sense, I am not so lacking as to be like a beggar.

This includes the characteristics of lightning itself. Lightning is essentially a strong discharge phenomenon between clouds, between clouds and the ground, or between different parts of a cloud. Generally, lightning will be generated between the positive and negative charge layers within a thunderstorm cloud when the electric field strength is large enough.

Even naturally formed electric currents can stretch for thousands of meters, with temperatures ranging from 17,000 to 28,000 degrees Celsius—three to five times the surface temperature of the sun. This extreme heat causes the air along the current to expand violently. The air moves rapidly, creating waves and producing sound.

Throughout history, the mythology of any region has always included deities who use and control thunder and lightning, and the embodiment of thunder and lightning is never weak.

Even simple natural disasters are enough to cause terrifying attacks, let alone when combined with Honkai energy, which multiplies the destructive power countless times.

Even a mere scratch on the edge was enough to send Kiana, who had just entered the city to attend school and was also searching for her father, into a daze. Her clothes were charred, and she only managed to catch her breath now thanks to the supposedly powerful bloodline of the Kaslana family.

However, what appeared before their eyes was an innumerable number of lightning bolts, like grains of sand in the Ganges, numbering in the thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even beyond the reach of sight.

It was as if natural disasters were fighting against each other, as if despair was colliding with despair.

"What the hell..."

"What happened?!"

Even Kiana, who had been forced to be cheerful and optimistic after traveling alone across most of Europe, couldn't hold back her emotions because of the disaster she encountered for no reason.

I only came to this city because I heard there were rumors of my father's whereabouts, so how... how did I suddenly run into a monster of this magnitude?!

Didn't my stinky dad say that monsters with this kind of strength are rare?

Why did I encounter two so easily?!

"Zi——!"

……

……

224. Do you have a single truth to tell?

He paid no attention to or cared about the girl who was still struggling and barely clinging to life. All the boy named Jiang Cheng could see was one person.

This unexpected gesture, a gift to us all, tore away all the gloom and dust, finally leaving nothing obstructing our view of each other.

Those eyes, no longer as clear as the occasional lightning in the sky, mixed with light rain, carrying a refreshing and gentle quality, were now only like red lightning flashing in the dark sky, so suppressed that they showed no emotion, as if they had been sunk into the boundless deep sea, even their voices were too deep and secluded.

The ponytail tied with a purple polka-dot bow has vanished without a trace, leaving only loose hair. It is not as gentle and graceful as it should be, but rather wild and unrestrained, letting her long hair flash like lightning and be blown about by the wind.

The clothes she was wearing still vaguely resembled the custom-made princess dress from yesterday, seemingly a direct modification of the Herrscher's divine armor.

Is it because he is not a complete Herrscher that he was unable to recreate a seemingly revealing and gorgeous outfit that is actually stronger than the God-Slaying Armor?

……

Of course, I had countless things I wanted to say in my mind just now, but when I actually opened my mouth, all I could say was what came out.

"Good morning, Mei. I'm not late, am I?"

"I don't know what happened, but your outfit is really cute."

……

Despite the chilling gentleness, a person who should have died no matter what appeared before him, smiling softly and greeting him.
