Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Dr. Noodle Cooking: It’s noodles, great!

Silver Wolf: Is there anyone knowledgeable who can explain the level of the three terminals?

Xing: Don’t ask, this is a red line that cannot be crossed.

Silver Wolf: I understand. It’s sad.

March 7: Hello!

------

Wang Xuanqiao knew that Sanyueqi had sent a photo to the group, but he didn't check it. After all, the group chat wasn't in a rush. But a private message that soon came in forced him to check...

Qi Maomao: Who are the store manager, Aunt Jizi in the group, and the woman who looks like Mei?

Wuhui's Lei Guang: [Huangquan Photo] Manager, who is this lady?

——The author has something to say——

Volume 195: : So where is Kiana's counterpart?

Wang Xuanqiao put down his chopsticks and sent a reply to Kiana first.

Otaku Who Plays Games: Jizi in the group is the navigator of the Star Train. She repaired the stalled train in the past and has been riding the train on pioneering journeys in the universe ever since.

Gamer Otaku: The woman who looks a lot like Mei is actually Mei, but her full name is Raiden Wangchuanshou Mei. She comes from the destroyed planet Izumo and now travels the galaxy alone.

Then came the information about Mei Raiden.

The video game geek: She's the orphan of Izumo Hoshi, her name is Mei, the Raiden Forgotten River Mori. Want to join us for dinner? I'd love to introduce you two.

It didn't take long before the two of them responded.

Qi Maomao: Manager, how long will Mei from Izumo stay in the store? I kind of want to meet her.

The otaku who plays games: Just come over, it’s time for dinner.

Qi Maomao: I want to, too! But I have homework to do, and my aunt won’t let me leave the moon until I finish it.

Qi Maomao: [crying]

Otaku playing games: [holding back laughter]

Qi Maomao: [question mark]

Otaku who plays games: Do you really want to see me?

Qi Maomao: I want to!

The otaku playing games: I will ask her later if she is willing to visit your place.

Qi Maomao: [love][love][love][love][love]

Another chat box——

Wuhui Lei Guang: "No need to eat, it's already prepared. I can take my lunch break to go over there. Will that disturb the store manager's rest?"

Otaku who plays games: No, I don’t need to sleep.

On the other end of the terminal, Mei Raiden looked at the words "No need to sleep" and suddenly thought of something, and the expression on her face became subtle.

"What's wrong, Mei?" asked Bronya, who was sitting opposite Raiden Mei.

"Ah, nothing. By the way, Bronya, have you seen the manager's group chat?" Raiden Mei put down the terminal, and suddenly thought of the previous battle between Bronya and someone, so she asked casually.

"Just saw it this morning," Bronya replied. "The store manager said they have a new lottery system. Did Meiyi see this news just now?"

"No, I've already seen the lottery. I'm more concerned about those familiar names in the group... like the Silver Wolf whose online name is very similar to yours."

"Bronya has heard about the existence of isotopes in the universe. Teacher Himeko and Mr. Walter in the group are probably isotopes from another world. Once Bronya meets the Silver Wolf, she should be able to deepen her understanding of isotopes."

"Then Bronya, take a look at the group chat."

After hearing what Mei Raiden said, Bronya left her seat and went to the room to get her terminal.

A moment later, Bronya ran back with a look of surprise on her face.

"This..." She held up the terminal, looked at the photo, then looked at Mei Raiden in front of her, her eyes flickering back and forth, gradually catching up with the frequency of the traffic lights.

"I asked the store manager, and her name is also Mei, but her full name is a bit... retro. The store manager said she is an orphan of Izumo Star. I want to go meet her later."

Bronya was not surprised. She quickly put away her slightly surprised expression and nodded slightly.

"Our mission this afternoon is to support the cleanup work in Changkong City. Based on our current efficiency, we are far ahead of schedule. Meiyi-sister, you can go without worry. It doesn't matter if you come back a little late."

"Thank you, Bronya." Raiden Mei smiled.

"Actually, Bronya is a little curious. Since Bronya and Mei's counterparts have appeared, and even Himeko-sensei and Walter-san's counterparts, why isn't there a counterpart for that stupid Kiana?"

"Well..."

Maybe it's not the right time for us to meet, or maybe...

After cleaning up the dining table and the kitchen, Mei Raiden said hello to Bronya, took out her membership card, opened the bedroom door and entered the game room.

The arcade's first floor was occupied. After finishing their meal, the three train kids re-entered the game. Although they had originally intended to help clean up, Wang Xuanqiao declined, citing the guests' inability to do so. Instead, they went downstairs and continued exploring Minecraft.

However, Huang Quan stayed, and Wang Xuanqiao did not refuse her help. The two of them cleaned up the restaurant and kitchen together.

Mei Raiden walked across the hall and headed towards the second floor, then found that there was a third floor. She walked towards the third floor again and saw the familiar door.

"Manager?" The door was naturally not closed. Mei Raiden walked into the room and called softly.

"Mei is here."

Wang Xuanqiao was wiping tables in the restaurant when he heard the voice and turned to greet him. Unexpectedly, Huang Quan half-peeked out of the kitchen just as he finished speaking, apparently thinking Wang Xuanqiao was calling her.

Although it is indeed easy to be misunderstood, after all, both of them are called Mei.

It was under such circumstances that Mei Raiden and Huang Quan met for the first time.

After seeing him in person, Mei Raiden discovered that there were significant differences between her and Huang Quan. While their appearances were very similar, their temperaments were quite different.

Even if there are two identical souls, completely different experiences will make them two completely different people.

"Hello, I am Raiden Mei."

Mei Raiden was the first to introduce herself to Huang Quan.

Huang Quan did not answer, but just silently stared at the girl in front of him who was extremely similar to him, even her name was almost exactly the same.

......like.

It really seems.

What kind of feeling was brewing in Huang Quan's heart at this moment? It was like a wanderer who, after half a lifetime of wandering, stumbled upon a familiar street and happened to hear a childish voice that seemed to echo from memory. That trance was like transcending time.

After a brief silence, Huang Quan seemed to finally remember that he should speak.

"Hello. You...just call me Huang Quan."

"But..." Mei Raiden wanted to say something, but stopped herself.

"I understand. The store manager introduced me to you, right?" Huang Quan looked at Mei Raiden and smiled gently. "We are two independent beings. Using my real names will inevitably lead to misunderstandings, so please call me Huang Quan. The me in front of you is Huang Quan, a person who only looks a little like you."

"Although I think it's the person, not the name, who's unique." Wang Xuanqiao walked over with a rag. "After all, it's the person who gives the name its meaning. For example, it's because of you two that the name Mei has become special in my mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Raiden and Huang Quan looked at him at the same time.

"Okay, you guys sit down and chat for a while." Wang Xuanqiao didn't care and just gently pushed Huang Quan out of the kitchen. "Leave the rest of the work to me."

Huang Quan did not refuse. He took off his rubber gloves and gestured to Raiden Mei to sit in the living room.

After walking two steps with Huang Quan, Mei Lei Dian suddenly realized something was wrong. Wasn't this the store manager's house?

Isn’t she a guest like me?

Thinking of this, Mei Raiden's mood suddenly became subtle. She was still vaguely concerned about what Kiana had done by sneaking to the store manager in the middle of the night, after all, the store manager said he didn't need to sleep.

But now it seems that it is not that important. After all, Kiana is someone he recognizes, but Miss Huang Quan...

Mei Raiden suddenly thought of something very absurd and terrifying, the kind that was inconvenient to tell others.

So when both of them sat down in the living room, Mei Raiden asked Huang Quan a question first.

"Huang Quan, when did you get to know the store manager?"

Huang Quan recalled for a moment and replied, "It's been a while. Because the speed of time in the two worlds is different, I can't give you a specific time."

"So that's how it is. It seems we've all received a lot of care from the store manager."

Huang Quan, who was just chatting casually, immediately noticed the hidden agenda of Raiden Mei. She looked at Raiden Mei again and smiled softly.

"Mei, can I call you that?" Huang Quan suddenly asked.

"Of course." Raiden Mei nodded and replied, "I want to be able to call you by your name, too."

"So, Meiyi." Huang Quan looked at her with a smile, "Do you think that being taken care of by the store manager is a matter of course, or does it come at a price?"

——The author has something to say——

I've been feeling a bit stuck lately.jpg

Believe me, it has nothing to do with the new version of Sanbengzi and Bengtie. It's really just a simple writer's block (sincerely)

And finally it's written! I've always imagined the scene where Mei Raiden and Huang Quan get together, and then someone calls out Mei and they both turn around at the same time!

You are also Meiyi.jpg

It's like that scene in Spider-Man 3 where Ned says, "Peter," and then the three Peters look up at the same time.

(happy)

Volume 196: : Three Questions in Huangquan

Is it a given to be cared for by the store manager, or does it come at a price?

How could Mei Lei Dian not know the answer to this question? The conversation that took place in Haiyuan City had already made Mei Lei Dian understand what kind of existence Wang Xuanqiao was.

He is like the sun hanging high in the sky. Anyone who longs for sunshine and warmth can get it as long as they turn towards him, without having to pay anything. Because the reason why the sun illuminates the whole world is never because of his needs.

So...they are actually a group of seekers.

It was never that Wang Xuanqiao needed any of them, but that they wanted to follow him.

Mei Raiden lowered her head and sighed softly.

"But, even so..." She suddenly lowered her voice, "I don't want to be the only one running after him. I want to be closer to him than anyone else, closer to him."

Huang Quan heard the almost silent whisper and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Mei, you are very similar to me in the past." She suddenly said.

Mei Raiden raised her head, her face showing a little surprise, but also a hint of anticipation.

"We've come a long way since the day we were born. During this journey, we may have established unbreakable connections with many people and things. So, are you afraid of losing these connections?"

Faced with Huang Quan's sudden question, Raiden Mei hesitated.

"Don't be nervous, just answer based on your feelings."

Huang Quan saw her hesitation and encouraged her with a smile.

"If that meant losing, I would... be horrified."

Hearing Raiden Mei's answer, Huang Quan nodded slightly and asked the next question: "When you sink into a dream, everything there is real and has the connection you have lost. Then, will you give up waking up in order to stay in that dream?"

Mei Raiden continued to ponder. Though she had lost much, she had also recently regained much. However, Huang Quan's question clearly wasn't about that. Mei Raiden tried to put herself back into her past, when she had almost nothing, and quickly found the answer.

"No," she replied, shaking her head. "A real dream is still a dream. If I stop moving forward, I will lose more connections."

"Okay. Last question..." Huang Quan paused, as if considering his words.

“If you already know that you will inevitably lose a close connection, would you still choose to establish this connection?”

Mei Raiden hesitated again. Suddenly, she thought of many people and events, things that had happened and things that hadn't happened. All sorts of scenes surfaced, as if prearranged.

The third collapse, the Herrscher of the Sky descended, Teacher Jizi left, and... the membership card disappeared, and the game hall was closed.

If meeting is only for separation, then is there any meaning in meeting?
