My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Luo Chen longed to speak with Kiana face to face. She refused to believe that Luo Chen was dead and wanted to get the answer from Kiana herself.

Through information obtained from Otto's mole in St. Freya, Luo Meng learned that the group from the Far East was almost there, so she found a secluded place to rest temporarily.

……

The Hyperion landed outside Sky City, and Theresa, along with Mei, Yuno, and Bronya, landed together and headed towards the location of the Grey Serpent.

The group remained silent the entire way, especially Mei, whose tired face proved that she was not in good condition.

After returning to St. Freya, Theresa thought it over again and decided to tell them the truth. However, Mei fainted again after hearing the news, and the others were all incredulous. Yuno even stared blankly for a few minutes before recovering.

"We should be there soon."

Theresa glanced at the coordinates on the map, confirming that the transaction location was not far ahead, and told the three of them to perk up.

"Dean, what's that up ahead?"

Mei vaguely saw something on the ground ahead and pointed it out to Theresa. Theresa looked in the direction Mei was pointing and saw that it was a pile of severed limbs and remains, and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

"Oops!"

As Theresa got closer, her heart sank. It was clear that the Grey Serpent had been killed, which meant that Destiny had gotten there first.

"What should we do now?"

Without the information from Gray Serpent, finding Kiana in this vast Sky City is like searching for a needle in a haystack—it's incredibly difficult.

"Bronya discovered a biochip in the deceased's brain, which might allow her to try and find some useful information."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Bronya."

Bronya stepped forward to attempt to crack the Grey Serpent's biochip, while Theresa and the others kept a close watch on the surrounding area to prevent the cracking process from being interrupted.

"Crack complete. Bronya has located the Grey Serpent's stronghold."

Bronya sent the coordinates to Theresa, who opened and checked them, then nodded and said, "It's in the slums. Okay, let's get there right away."

Just then, a throwing knife grazed Theresa's body, tearing her sleeve before disappearing into the distance.

"who!"

The group was startled and immediately tensed up, becoming alert as to the direction from which the throwing knife had come.

From behind a high wall, Luo Meng slowly emerged from the shadows, a dagger in her hand. Her gaze swept over the four people in turn, finally settling on Theresa.

"Lady Theresa, it's been a long time."

Chapter 135 Guess who I am?

Theresa knew from Luo Meng's appearance that the newcomer was up to no good, so she stood in front of the others to prevent Luo Meng from launching a sudden attack.

"Meng'er, what are you doing here?"

Mei took a step forward, but Yuno pulled her back and whispered in her ear, "Mei, don't forget that Luo Meng is a chosen one."

Mei looked at Luo Meng's indifferent face and realized that their positions were now different, but she still wanted to go up and talk to her.

Ignoring Yuno's attempts to stop her, Mei walked up to Theresa and, after organizing her thoughts, asked Luo Meng, "Meng'er, are you alright?"

"Mei-nee, why didn't you stop my brother back then?"

Luo Meng did not answer, but tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand. Her cold gaze sent a chill down Mei's spine.

"I...I was unconscious because of my injury."

Mei's eyes dimmed, and she dared not meet Luo Meng's gaze. At the same time, she thought that if she had been awake at that time, she might have been able to stop Luo Chen.

"Yeah……"

Luo Meng breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly raised the hand holding the dagger, and stared intently at Mei, saying, "Sister Mei, beat me, and I'll let you go."

"Mei, don't be impulsive."

Before Mei could speak, Theresa reminded her that with Mei's current strength, it was impossible for her to defeat Luo Meng. If Luo Meng took advantage of her inattention and kidnapped Mei, then it would be all over.

"Dean, it's alright."

Mei shook her head, pulled out the plasma camera from her waist, and stood facing Luo Meng.

Theresa was worried, but she didn't stop Mei. It was Mei's own choice, and there was no right for Theresa to interfere.

"Mei-nee, you go first."

Seeing that Luo Meng let her attack first, Mei didn't hold back and slashed horizontally with her katana, but Luo Meng blocked it with her dagger.

Luo Meng clenched her other fist and swung it at Mei's knife, separating the two blades before delivering a whip kick to Mei's waist, causing the latter to stagger back a few steps.

Mei clutched her waist, a pained expression on her face. Ever since the Conqueror's Gem was taken away, she felt her senses had diminished; otherwise, she would have been able to react to Luo Meng's attack earlier.

Luo Meng didn't give Mei a chance to rest. She quickly threw the dagger forward and at the same time drew a short knife from her waist and swung it at Mei's arm.

Deflecting the flying dagger, Mei retreated to dodge Luo Meng's slash, then gripped the sword with both hands and unleashed the Hokushin Ittō-ryū style.

Neither of them used Honkai energy, relying entirely on skill and physical prowess. The sounds of their swords clashing rang out continuously, and Luo Meng's attacks gradually became more ferocious, making it difficult for Mei to defend herself.

Having blocked Luo Meng's attack, Mei adjusted her breathing and switched from defense to offense, perfectly displaying the swordsmanship she had honed over many years.

Who is Luo Meng? She is one of the three S-rank Valkyries of Destiny! Even though Mei's swordsmanship has reached an extremely high level, Luo Meng still surpasses her in terms of raw strength.

The two swords clashed, and Luo Meng took the opportunity to increase the force of her hand, forcibly pressing down Mei's sword, and then slashed down along the long sword, hitting Mei's upper arm with the back of the blade.

Mei felt a burning pain where she had been hit and almost dropped the knife. Luo Meng grabbed Mei's hand with her free hand to prevent her from escaping, then kicked Mei in the abdomen with a high kick, sending her flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Mei!"

Theresa rushed forward to help Mei up, but Mei refused. Mei supported herself with her hands, half-kneeling on the ground, her body trembling slightly from the pain, sweat dripping from her forehead, but her eyes remained fixed on Luo Meng.

"You are too weak."

Luo Meng sheathed her sword, her tone as if stating a fact, devoid of any emotion.

"No wonder my brother never tells you anything."

"what are you saying?"

Mei forced herself to stand up despite the discomfort in her abdomen, looking at Luo Meng's face, wanting to know what Luo Meng meant.

"literal meaning."

Through Otto's hints some time ago, Luo Meng knew that Luo Chen knew many things, and she had also secretly investigated what Luo Chen had done behind the scenes. But Mei didn't know any of this, which inevitably disappointed her.

'As expected, he still shoulders everything himself.'

Mei recalled Luo Chen's previous state, feeling angry that Luo Chen had kept it from her while also feeling sad. She blamed herself for not being stronger, so that she could share some of the pressure with Luo Chen.

"You can take care of yourself."

Luo Meng glanced at Mei one last time before turning and leaving the scene. Otto had only told her to stop them, but hadn't specified how long. Stopping them was the same as stopping them for a while, and Rita was probably done by now anyway.

After Luo Meng left, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief and then checked Mei's injuries. Since Luo Meng had only used the back of the blade, Mei wasn't seriously injured; only the places where she was hit were still sore, and she was somewhat exhausted.

"Dean, I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, Mei."

Theresa wanted to help Mei, but she wasn't tall enough, so she had to ask Yuno to come and help her before heading towards the Gray Serpent's stronghold.

"We need to hurry, or Kiana might really be captured by the Schicksal people first."

Upon arriving at the Gray Serpent's stronghold, Yuno frowned as she looked at the chaotic place and the indescribable smell in the air.

"Do these intelligence brokers all like to stay in this godforsaken place?"

"I don't know, but I guess so."

Theresa pushed open the dilapidated door. Inside the small room was a table and a computer, with many papers scattered on the floor.

"Yuno, you and Mei stay outside and keep watch. Bronya and I will go in and check."

"it is good."

Mei and Yuno took out their weapons and stood outside the door, carefully observing the situation on both sides of the house in case of any accidents. Theresa led Bronya into the room.

Theresa went to the computer, looked at the blue screen and the messy drawers, and realized that they were too late; all the useful information had already been taken.

"Dean, Bronya might be able to fix this computer."

"Bronya, you give it a try, but be careful."

Seeing Bronya say this, Theresa nodded in agreement, telling her to be careful not to get infected by computer viruses.

"Don't worry, Dean, Luo Chen added a layer of protection to my chip."

After returning from the Oceania branch, Luo Chen approached Bronya one day, wanting to add an extra layer of protection to her biochip. Although it might not be very useful in the later plot, Luo Chen added a firewall to the biochip just in case. In the event of external stimuli, the corrosive Honkai energy that Luo Chen had left inside would activate, thus protecting Bronya.

…………

While Bronya was repairing the computer, Luo Meng wandered aimlessly through the downtown area of ​​Sky City. She didn't want to return to the base; the mission was complete, so she decided to just stroll around.

Although her heart was still shrouded in gloom, Luo Meng felt much better after seeing that Mei and the others were alright. Perhaps in her heart, Mei was also considered family.

Suddenly, Luo Meng noticed a familiar white figure in the crowd not far away. She was about to take a closer look when she was blocked by the flow of people.

Luo Meng ran forward, eager to know if it was Kiana, but the figure in front of her seemed to know of her existence, constantly controlling the distance between them, preventing Luo Meng from getting close.

Luo Meng grew increasingly agitated, quickening her pace as she chased her target into a small alley. She turned a corner and found herself in a dead end. There were no doors on either side, and the walls were several meters high; escape was impossible without using her destructive power.

Carefully sensing her surroundings, Luo Meng found no trace of Honkai energy, which made her wonder if she was seeing things due to excessive mental stress.
