The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

Sue: "But you can't take shortcuts."

Mei was silent, so she had to change the question: "Su, when we came to the paradise, Lu... Feng once told me that Kiana is now undergoing trials at the other end of the paradise. Where exactly is the other end of this paradise..."

"Mei, you are a little too hasty." Su said in a calm tone, "Haste makes waste. In the paradise, the answers are all sought by the visitors themselves. The answers to your questions will be revealed one by one in the subsequent trials."

Mei frowned slightly: "But... the Paradise of the Past is a large data recording device. Why can't I get answers directly from you to the questions I have about the data in the Paradise?"

She wondered if she had already found some clues.

Logically speaking, in games like the ones Bronya bought, once you find key materials or something, you can ask the NPC for clues about the next mission or something?

Su seemed to smile. He patiently explained to Mei: "The Paradise of the Past is not only a large data recording device, but also a place of trial for visitors from the present civilization. The premise for obtaining each answer is whether the visitor is qualified to obtain the answer. We will not answer all your questions."

Mei still seemed to disagree.

Su continued, "You want to understand why Kiana bears everything, but the path you are taking now is not to understand her, but to walk her path again. Your eagerness now is like trying to understand what Kiana knows, instead of understanding the meaning of every step Kiana takes."

After a pause, Su continued: "Then, the road you are walking on is the farthest and most difficult to reach your goal."

Mei was silent for a while before she asked, "How long did it take Kiana to reach the other side of the paradise?"

Su: "..."

It seems like this kid really didn’t listen to a word I said... If she continues with this attitude, the landmines she’ll step on in the future won’t be as simple as causing the unhappiness of the heroes today.

Fortunately, Mei didn't point at Kevin and ask him why he didn't write down his best friend's real name, and didn't chase after Alicia to ask Feng the truth about being the only Yingjie who sacrificed...

If he really asked like this, Su felt that no one except Feng could cover up this matter. But Feng was not here now, watching Kiana on the other side, so the only ones who could come to cover up were himself and Alicia.

Kevin and Alicia were both able to control themselves. If the person they asked became someone like Mobius or Senjie, Su felt that the question would not be whether they could cover it up or not, but whether Mei could leave the paradise safely in the end.

The last person who was so stubborn, her code name was Jackal. What she did was to ask Mebius directly for Feng's medical examination records. She asked quite straightforwardly and her tone was quite confident, and then... then nothing happened, and she almost didn't make it out of the paradise.

Su had a feeling that Mei might be even more stubborn than the jackal.

This child obviously looks a lot like Mei, so why are their personalities completely different? He seems to be more emotional than rational.

However, based on the time Kiana spent in Paradise, it is okay to give Mei a rough time range first. After all, Kiana underwent a complete trial in Paradise and also came to receive training, which is different from other people who underwent the trial. As for Mei, she can be treated as an ordinary visitor.

So Su told Mei how long Kiana had stayed in the paradise, and before leaving, he repeatedly warned Mei: "Remember not to be impatient, more haste makes waste."

After Mei finally got an answer, she began to think about how to find the remaining Yingjie to obtain the corresponding imprint. Moreover, even if it was an existing Yingjie, the imprint she got would not be complete.

"Teacher Grayshu... should be easy to talk to. Maybe I can get more information from her..."

Although my impression is that Teacher Grace is a bit of a nerd, her tone is always gentle during her art class, and it is said that she is also the artist of some other comics.

But... where on earth is Teacher Gray Shu in the paradise?

Chapter 124: Just Chasing

"Kiana..."

The purple-haired girl looked at the white-haired girl in front of her who was pressing her bleeding shoulder. Her slightly empty eyes were filled with a bit of unwilling obsession and regret. She slowly stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to grab something, but her hand fell before she touched the white-haired girl in front of her.

Kiana watched her fall to the ground, her face expressionless.

"Congratulations, you've passed the test. You win."

As Mostima's voice sounded, the surrounding environment began to change, returning to the original game hall environment. Mei, who was lying on the ground, also turned into a data stream and disappeared.

"How is it? Isn't this game fun? It's completely tailored to your memory, an absolutely real immersive experience." Mostima sat on an arcade machine, swinging his legs and looking at Kiana and said, "What happens in it will definitely leave a deep impression on you. You must remember this game that you can't play outside~"

Kiana was silent. She looked down at her hand, moved her arm to make sure there was nothing wrong, and finally said expressionlessly: "This is really... the worst game I have ever played. You may not have any talent for developing games."

The clues are a mess and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Some of the clues are useless. In addition, there are a bunch of traitors around him who have faces of people he knows.

Although the conditions for passing the level given by Mostima are quite simple, which is to require you to find all the traitors and kill them, some traitors will be killed by some of your teammates who are not traitors during the process, but it is difficult for you to identify who is the trustworthy person and who is the traitor lurking around you.

What’s even more outrageous is that you have to worry about being framed by an insider, making others who want to find the insider mistakenly think that they are the insider.

Moreover, in Mostima's game, he lost all his powers as a Herrscher and became an ordinary person with only slightly better skills.

"Alas, I'm not a professional game developer, and my games are not for ordinary people to play." Mostima didn't mind. "In short, after you pass the level, you can choose to rest here and go to the next fallen angel to take the test, or you can go there right away."

"Mastema..." Kiana said, "Your game...is based on the incident of the Tenth Herrscher?"

Mastema was noncommittal: "Guess?"

"From what I know, the Tenth Herrscher incident is similar to this situation. The Tenth Herrscher hid in the fire moths as a human. Although all the Tenth Herrscher individuals were conquered in the end, the trust between people also became fragmented..." Kiana lowered her eyes, "Although the beginning and end of the story in the game you designed are different from the records of the Tenth Herrscher incident in Paradise, if I am not mistaken, the prototype should be the Tenth Herrscher incident."

"After all, if I completely use the original information, you must have noticed it when you were strolling in the paradise before, wouldn't that be a spoiler?" Mostima said with a smile, "So I took the initiative and did a little bit of secondary creation."

"Then your secondary creation is really full of bad taste..." Kiana said in a cold tone.

After learning about the game's setting, she immediately realized that the prototype of the game was the Tenth Herrscher incident, so she had a headache at first because the NPCs designed by Mostima included not only some people she had seen in the information of the Fire Moth, but also many people she knew, such as Mei, Bronya...

According to Mastema, the fallen angels had been paying attention to him when he was undergoing trials in Paradise. It is still unknown what method they used to spy on his memories, but the personalities of the people he knew simulated by Mastema are almost exactly the same as those in the real world.

This will greatly interfere with your judgment and make you very confused.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Mei turned out to be a traitor was something she had never expected. Out of consideration for the design ideas of the game designer Mostima, Kiana actually initially suspected the people around her and gave priority to screening them, but Mei...she became a traitor in the middle of the game.

He gave himself an unexpected backstab when he was not prepared, and his health was almost reduced to zero when he fell at the last step of the level.

It looks like the same setting that Mostima added midway.

Wait, is this a setting added midway? If the fallen angels have a way to spy on my memories and were watching me when I was still in the paradise undergoing trials, then Mei, who is also undergoing trials in the paradise now, wouldn't she also be within their observation range?

Kiana looked at Mostima: "How is Mei now?"

"Oh, it seems that you figured it out quickly." Mostima shrugged and said, "Although there are some accidental reasons, I have also been paying attention to the Herrscher of Lightning named Raiden Mei. It's just that... her performance is really not satisfactory."

"She didn't see this place as a trial ground to improve herself, but as a place to seek answers, right?" Kiana looked at Mostima and said.

"Bingo, correct answer." Mostima snapped her fingers. "She is asking any questions she can get in Paradise. This kind of mentality is not a good thing in Paradise. To put it bluntly, something bad will happen sooner or later."

Kiana pressed her brows with a headache, and she knew...

How to say it, at least so far, her understanding of Mei has not been wrong. Mei is really too concerned about her leaving. She wants to catch up with herself, but she is just catching up with herself.

Maybe in Mei's eyes now, she has become the Herrscher of Thunder, a being like herself and Bronya, and has enough power to fight alongside her.

But being just a law-giver is not enough.

Maybe Mei thinks that she just knows less answers to some questions than herself, so now she is eager to know the answers to those questions, but she does not consider that each answer is based on whether she has the belief and qualifications to bear these answers.

To put it bluntly, Mei is now a Herrscher, yes, but is she proficient in the power of the Herrscher of Thunder? Does she know the essence of the Herrscher of Thunder's power and how to use it more efficiently? In other words, does she know why she can preserve human consciousness in the face of collapse? Does she know the price paid by the previous civilization in fighting the collapse and the situation that the current civilization will face?

She did not have these prerequisites, but she was eager to know all the answers through a single inquiry, without going through her own understanding and perception.

That's bound to be a problem.

That's why I think Mei shouldn't go to the paradise before she figured out these things, but Feng stands out as someone who doesn't care about anyone except herself, so if Mei wants to go in, let her go in...

"Alas, that girl obviously has a face similar to Dr. Mei, but when you look closely, they are two completely different people." Mostima spread his hands and said, "You know, she just came to Paradise not long ago, and she went to ask Qianjie why the boss Yufeng outside Paradise is called 'Lucifer', while the boss Yufeng inside Paradise is called 'Feng'."

Kiana: "..."

Ask Qianjie this question? Meiyi, the Qianjie in Paradise is not the same as the Master Qian in Saint Freya!

"She also asked Kevin, as the narrator of the history of modern civilization, why he recorded Boss Yufeng as Lucifer."

Kiana: "..."

This... Let's not talk about whether this question is necessary for Mei now. It's just a difference in name.

Given the relationship between Kevin and Feng, why would he use that name to refer to Feng if he could? Isn't this dancing in Kevin's minefield?

The answer to the question of the difference between Feng's name inside and outside the Paradise is neither important nor unimportant, but it is very troublesome to explain, and it also involves the content of the Paradise trial. Mei hasn't even passed the previous trials, but she is in a hurry to jump to the last level... Not to mention, the truth about this matter also involves the minefield of all the Paradise heroes except Feng.

I always feel that if this continues, Mei might do something big in the paradise at any time.

"Su explained to her that she was just following your footsteps without thinking about the significance of every step you took." Mostima's tone became a little playful, "Then her next question was how long it took you to pass all the Yingjie trials."

To put it bluntly, Mei didn't even listen to much of Su's explanation.

Kiana held her forehead with her hand and said helplessly: "That's why I think it's a problem that Feng let Mei enter the paradise so early..."

She roughly guessed Mei's next behavior pattern, because if she wanted to find the answer, the fastest and most accurate way to find the answer was to find the person involved, and the result of doing so was...

Ask Mebius why he ordered the Jackal to carry out the Stigmata Plan, ask Alysia why Feng was the only hero who sacrificed in the previous civilization and then played the resurrection match in the current civilization, ask Feng why he let Shanyat take on such a heavy mission...

Every question is to the point and every sentence touches people's heart.

Combined with her own experience in the trial of paradise, Kiana guessed that Mei would definitely know that Feng and Alicia had a promise to save each other. What if she used this to ask Alicia whether she saved him or not?

Then the problem is really big.

Alicia was the only reliable person besides Feng in the paradise she had found for her who would help her out at a critical moment... Alicia was helping her out, and she poked Alicia in the heart...

Feng did say that he would pay more attention to Mei, but considering how much he cares about Mei, I'm afraid his guarantee is limited to ensuring that Mei doesn't die in paradise.

No wonder Mostima changed Mei's identity to a traitor halfway through. Now Mei is just following his own footsteps, her heart is firm but empty. If the Tenth Herrscher appears, she might be easily broken by him. Moreover, if Mei continues to ask like this, it will be a problem whether she can leave the paradise.

Mostima is reminding me to pay more attention to Mei...

But what else could he do? Should he appear in front of Mei and tell her to stop asking questions and accept the trial honestly? If Mei had listened to him, she wouldn't have chased him from Sky City to Sky City, then from Sky City to Coral Island, and from Coral Island to the World Serpent...

Thinking about it this way, if Feng didn't let Meiyi enter the paradise, Meiyi would most likely not behave herself even if she arrived in the World Snake. If Meiyi entered the paradise, she would become like this now, and there would be problems whether she entered or not.

Alas, I really have no choice now. It’s a headache.

"Don't worry. Boss Yufeng has specifically explained that the only fallen angels watching Mei Raiden right now are me and Beffinger. The others are either not interested or it wouldn't matter if they knew what she said. Anyway, as long as she doesn't provoke Lilith, Mebius or Velvet, and doesn't take the initiative to provoke Qianjie, there will be no safety problems in the paradise." Mostima took out a lollipop, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth. "As for her current psychological problems, we can only say that we will take it slowly. Anyway, she won't listen to anyone's advice now, so we can only wait until she hits a wall and understands it herself. I don't know if Beffinger has a solution, after all, he has a deep understanding of things like human hearts."

"I'll go take a look later..." Kiana said helplessly.

Suddenly, Kiana thought of something. Mostima mentioned Beffinger just now, which reminded her of an important person related to Beffinger - Lionel.

There are very few records about Lionel in the Paradise. He is only recorded as the commander in the battle against the Herrscher. When other heroes except Feng mentioned him, they called him "traitor" and were reluctant to mention him more.

In addition, although they called Lionel a "traitor", in fact, except for Mebius and Ying Zhen who had a lot of opinions about Lionel, although the other Yingjie said so, in fact, there was no negative emotion in their tone. On the contrary, it was a very complicated emotion.

Just as they were unwilling to acknowledge Lucifer, what they hated was not Lionel, but their own powerlessness.

Feng's evaluation of Lionel is that he is also a hero, the last soldier of Mu Continent.

In Mostima's game, I have indeed seen a character called Lionel. At first, I suspected that this guy who liked to find fault everywhere was a traitor, but it turned out that he was the MVP among a group of wise and disappointing teammates...

Even if Mostima's game is just about inserting characters, it shouldn't be just about inserting characters.

Wait, didn’t Mostima say before that I should remember the contents of the game well?

Kiana looked at the half-smiled Mostima, and suddenly she thought, could it be that Mostima was hinting at the Fallen Angel test that she would take next? Although Lionel didn't mention much in Paradise, it might become a key clue in the afterlife where the Fallen Angels lived.

If that's the case, it would be great. It would be worth it that I spent a lot of time in this first level to find clues bit by bit.

Chapter 125 [White Flower] Talents Emerge

A paradise in the past life, a resting room.

"Hey, are you guys just going to watch that Herrscher flying around in Paradise like a fly and making a lot of noise?" Qianjie crossed his arms and looked at Feng who was sipping red wine from her glass and said, "Even as a visitor, she just thinks of herself as a visitor. What on earth are you thinking about out there?"

"Who knows?" Feng lowered his eyes. "Of course, from my point of view, he just thinks it's not important and doesn't care. For him, it doesn't matter what Mei Raiden gets in the paradise or nothing at all. He cares more about what Kiana gets and what she learns, that's all."

"Indeed, Feng outside treats Kiana so well that it can almost be called partiality." Alicia leaned on the sofa and said, "I wonder if I outside will be jealous?"

As Alicia spoke, she seemed to remember something, looked at Feng and said, "If I remember correctly, it seems that in the pre-civilization time, you told me about Mei... She seemed to have arrived in the paradise around this time, right? Was she like this at that time?"

"Although there may be some problems with the attitude at first, it is far from being as anxious as it is now." Feng shook the wine glass in his hand, "Maybe it's because the original trajectory has become unrecognizable, which has brought about a butterfly effect. For example... Kiana would never have come to the paradise in the first place."

And Kiana’s identity shouldn’t be…

"If you ask me, you shouldn't indulge her here!" Qianjie snorted coldly, "What do you mean by chasing after that Kiana? Even if she knows a lot, what does it matter? Can she withstand my attack? It's because you indulged her too much. If you had just let me do it directly, there wouldn't be so many problems now."

“Qianjie…” Alysia looked at Qianjie helplessly and said, “When you started to fight, did you really have any sense of propriety? If I remember correctly, among all the visitors who underwent trials in the Paradise of the Past, only your trial had a high casualty rate, right?”

Although the trials of Mobius and Velvet are also quite difficult and prone to accidents, as long as Velvet is not a magician or an extremely evil person, there won't be any major trouble. As for Mobius's trial, there will be no problem as long as you don't deliberately look for Mobius and hide somewhere. Didn't a raven escape from Mobius's trial before?

After all, Mebius really isn't very good at fighting.

But Qianjie... once he really starts taking action, it would be easy for something to go wrong if no one is watching.

"No matter what I do, you and Feng will find a way to take the person away from under my nose." Qianjie snorted very unhappily.

Alicia glanced at Feng. She usually dragged Feng along to rescue people. If she and Yiden and the others had a tea party or something, could she expect Feng to rescue people? Impossible.

Feng doesn't care much about almost all the visitors. If he goes to hold a tea party, he will either be dragged away by Lilith, or he will stay in the underworld or the depths of paradise and be too lazy to come out. Before Kiana and Mei, the last visitor who Feng paid a little attention to was Otto five hundred years ago.

It's really true. Although Mei is as pretty and cute as Mei, the way she wants to catch up with Kiana is really problematic. If she continues like this, there will probably be real problems.

"What do you think the problem lies, Feng?" Alicia thought for a long time and finally decided to ask Feng, who should know the most among them.

Feng thought about it carefully, and then said: "In the original trajectory, Kiana's body collapsed due to the erosion of several Herrscher cores in her body. If Raiden Meiyi didn't become a Herrscher, Kiana's life would be in danger. And now, we are all watching Kiana pass the trial. I am sure that if Kiana hadn't deliberately given the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder to Raiden Meiyi, Raiden Meiyi would not have become the Herrscher of Thunder she is now. In other words... her original intention of entering the paradise is completely different from the original one."
