Seeing the approaching sound, Mei's tone was unusually panicked.
The pursuers showed no intention of answering, and at that moment, Mei gritted her teeth as the image of Pado appeared in her mind.
No, I can't fall here.
This place... has bound my power, but there is always a possibility of breaking free from those constraints.
Mei turned around and gripped the doorknob, trying her best to break free of the suppression.
The pursuers were closing in, getting closer and closer to Mei's body. With her eyes closed and her hand on the doorknob, Mei seemed to have given up struggling in the eyes of everyone in the viewing space, quietly waiting for her final fate.
"It's not over yet, it's not over yet. I can interfere with the lock cylinder of this door."
Mei's muttering voice proved that she had not given up. A terrifying sound reached out to the girl as if to kill her. At the critical moment, the crisp sound of the door lock being unlocked made the audience in the viewing space subconsciously relax.
However, Mei only realized true despair the moment she pushed open the door.
Behind the door was not a vibrant path, but a blocked-off wall.
An atmosphere of despair was spreading. In this environment, Raiden Mei's ability to interfere with the lock core was already at its limit. Relying on the power of her will to interfere with matter and shake the wall would probably be less effective than punching it directly.
Dead end.
Looking at Mei on the screen, Kiana clenched her fists, wishing she could help Mei obliterate that terrifying being that was some unknown ghost.
Mei on the screen seemed to have fallen into despair, turning to look at the thing that was getting closer and closer, something she dared not approach. Mei revealed her secret: "Is this the end? I see... I'm really afraid of death."
Paddy, I'm sorry...
Mei's tone was somewhat unwilling at this moment, but just when Mei thought she was about to die, the monster in front of her suddenly stopped moving, as if it had heard Mei's words.
The sound of gears turning filled the air, and the entire castle's roads were reorganized and transformed, with new life emerging in places that had once been dead ends.
Faced with the paused monster, Mei did not hesitate to escape along the escape route, because only by surviving could she find a way to save Pato.
At the end of the road was a cozy room. Picking up a flower, Yaya subconsciously said, "I think I smell... the fragrance of a pato."
"Mei-nee, your behavior is a bit perverted. Mei-nee, let's say it again, humans and ghosts are different. Although Mei-nee is our big client, dating is a no-go."
At this moment, Pado reiterated her stance and tried to lighten the mood, attempting to help Mei, who was still reeling from her own death on the screen, relax.
"Cough cough, I... I was probably terrified. I wouldn't normally do something like this."
Mei coughed lightly, feeling she couldn't ignore her reputation. The images on the screen continued, and as Mei wandered around the room, she soon saw a figure she couldn't forget, even though it was a drawing.
"This is... a portrait of Pado? Why is it here, Raven? Is this your work?"
Looking at the somewhat old portrait in front of her, Mei muttered to herself.
Upon hearing Mei's words on the screen, Ai felt a slight sense of unease. In the Paradise of the Past, Vervie and Mebius frowned as they looked at the portrait on the screen, also sensing something was amiss.
The truth is like a thin veil; it only takes a gentle poke to reveal the truth.
Mei on the screen shook her head and revealed the most crucial key to the truth: "No, that's not right. The technique in this painting is somewhat similar to my work, wait..."
At this moment, Mei took out a miniature monocular observation lens from her pocket, put it on, and carefully examined the picture in front of her.
Honkai Impact 2: Chapter 701: I'm so happy, Raven, what are you so excited about?!
“Ancient, very ancient, I see, is that how it is?”
Before Mei could finish speaking, she suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned around abruptly. Sure enough, the relentless pursuer had arrived.
“When I was a child, an old lady died. People covered her with a thin veil. It was a hot summer day, and her body attracted flies. This became my nightmare for many years.”
You've known me for a long time, haven't you? So what exactly is this place? Is it a trap, a prison? No, neither. It's a torture chamber, an interrogation room, right?
At this moment, Mei was both furious and delighted. She feared the unknown, understood the unknown, and then transcended the unknown. The truth had now emerged before her eyes.
"Isn't the purpose of all this obvious? Hmph, those who could do all this and steal my nightmares should know what's going on. My hidden secret... will never be revealed!"
After Mei finished speaking, she picked up a chair. Kiana was still stunned and didn't understand what was going on with Mei on the screen. Just when Kiana thought Mei had taken out the chair and was preparing to fight the monster to the death, Mei chose to smash the window with herself.
In the Land of the Past, Vervi's brows furrowed slightly. Mei's words had revealed the crux of the matter: this small world was indeed an outstanding magic trick, and also a rather cruel one.
The portrait of Pado that she painted herself gradually faded with time, and if Mei's guess was correct, she was probably repeating the farce of escaping again and again, just like the protagonist of a puppet show.
How many times has Mei's memory been erased?
Pado was still unaware of the deeper situation and simply believed that Mei's memories had been erased.
On the screen, a short time passed as the chair shattered the glass. With the nightmare already upon her, Mei jumped out of the window without hesitation.
"The key to action lies in thinking. I have studied the art of escape magic master Virvii very well."
A magician will not choose a path that leads to certain death, and I am not a martyr-like hero now. The key elements of this magic trick are salt and sound.
I trust my sense of smell. Although it was faint, I could smell the salty air. This castle stands in the sea.
Jumping directly into the water from a height doesn't guarantee 100% survival; the precise height and speed of the fall are essential, and that chair is the perfect tool for calculating that.
Seven seconds. The time it takes to fall into the water is seven seconds. Considering the air resistance of the stool and the density of the atmosphere, I have already made the best choice.
Right now, there are still 0.02 seconds left before I hit the water! The chances of staying conscious are... whatever the odds, if it's me, it's 100%!
Mei's figure plunged into the water, while her inner voice was projected onto the viewing space.
With the flames of life now under control, Kiana in the viewing space subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief for Mei. If she were to handle those calculations, her brain would probably be overloaded. Mei truly lives up to her reputation as Mei.
"Not bad, as expected of Mei. But at this level, she's still a long way from inheriting my mark as a magician master, Velvet."
In the Land of the Dead, Vervi was quite satisfied with Mei's performance on the screen.
On the screen, Mei falls into the ocean. A moment later, when Mei opens her eyes again, she sees a pale yellow crystal that covers every corner of the seabed.
Taking a deep breath, Mei swam towards the shore with all her might, entered the nearest room, and looked at her clothes, which should have been soaked through, now dried by the fire. Mei closed her eyes and understood her current situation.
I suspect that these clothes were made by myself.
Is my memory being periodically erased?
With little free time, Mei picked up the clothes, the screen changed, and Mei, now dressed in new clothes, put the soaking wet coat back where the clothes had been dried, and then decisively left the scene to continue her exploration.
A thin mist shrouded the outside. A shovel lay near the soil outside. Mei muttered to herself, "Digging a hole? Let's start with that patch of soil that's a different color from the rest."
Mei didn't hesitate to take action, but she was unexpectedly attacked by a nightmare along the way. Fortunately, she reacted in time and used a shovel to jam the door and prevent the nightmare from coming.
The nightmare that was blocked did not linger and chose to leave. Mei chose to continue digging in the soil, preparing to see what the purpose of guiding her here was.
As dusk fell and the bright moon shone in the sky, night descended, and Mei felt as if she were digging her own grave.
However, the moment the shovel struck something hard, Mei knew she had found what she was looking for.
"Room number 12...?"
Seeing the clues on the unearthed stone slab, Mei hadn't even had a chance to say anything before instinctively dodging to the side. For some reason, the nightmare that had previously left reappeared and tried to attack her.
"This is an interrogation tool, originating from my nightmares. If I am captured by it, I may face death? Or perhaps I will be taken to have my memories erased?"
Thinking back on the previous situation, perhaps... revealing the secret could stop the nightmare's behavior? I don't think the mastermind would be kind enough to allow a secret that, while known to a large number of people, could trigger the stop procedure.
However, it's worth a try.
Mei's inner voice echoed in her mind. Seeing the approaching nightmare, Mei shouted without hesitation, "The Fate Weaver is at odds with her father. The Fate Weaver wants to kill her father!"
In the movie theater, Raven was momentarily stunned. Ha, it can even be related to me?
"Besides wanting to kill her father, the Fate Weaver also had thoughts of patricide and fratricide!"
Seeing the nightmare continue unabated, Mei once again uttered something shocking.
In the viewing area, Raven was somewhat excited.
Killing one's father and brothers may not be a good thing, but doesn't that prove that one's brother still has a chance to survive?
"Mei, you're right, you're right!"
At this moment, the raven couldn't help but smile, and upon hearing this, the jackal subconsciously increased the distance between itself and the raven by a few steps.
The fact that the raven killed its father and brothers... makes sense, after all, in my impression, the raven is a usurper of fate, one of the few who manipulate the world and guide destiny.
But why are you so happy, as if you've heard some incredibly good news?
I'm so grateful to your parents.
The jackal looked at the raven with a somewhat subtle expression, seemingly indicating that she no longer considered using familial ties to coerce this colleague.
The fact that this person gets so excited just hearing that he has such an idea suggests that threats based on family ties are probably useless.
Honkai Impact 2: Chapter 702: The Headmistress's Wrath, Vice-Lord St. Freya, Himeko is not to be underestimated.
You usurper of fate, how could you be so ruthless!
Raven's heart sank. He hadn't expected that the future usurper would not let any threat go unpunished and planned to attack his father and brothers.
But Mei... what? You know all this but you just watch.
What? You want to kill your father and brothers?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. The image of her brother from her childhood memories surfaced in her mind. At this moment, Raven was certain that even if her brother had really fallen into the demonic path, she would probably only imprison him and not be able to kill him. The filter of childhood affection was still too strong.
The situation on the screen was beyond Mei's expectations. Even after she revealed the secret, the nightmare did not stop.
"This should be... a secret."
Mei's expression was rather unpleasant at this moment. If she wasn't mistaken, she should have already revealed this secret before.
"I was involved in the destruction of Krypton! I know the truth about the fall of the Land of Light!"
At this moment, Mei revealed another secret, but the secret she spoke of on the screen made her the focus of attention in the viewing space.
Mei, you
Looking at the gazes of everyone around her, Mei herself was completely bewildered.
what?
Could it be that the destruction of Krypton and the destruction of the Land of Light are related to me?
"You led the way when Krypton was destroyed, and you started the fire when the Kingdom of Light was destroyed?"
Raven subconsciously made a sarcastic remark about the two secrets Mei had revealed, leaving Mei speechless.
Oh no! I didn't even know how to deal with the raven, and now I'm going to suffer the same fate as it.
Cough cough, maybe I'm just overthinking it? Or maybe I just happened to be passing by and happened to know the truth?
"Knowing the truth about the destruction of the Land of Light could explain it, but the destruction of Krypton while you were there... The universe is vast, and the odds of that happening are too small even for a Time Lord, right?"
The headmistress's wrath, Vice-President St. Freya, Himeko Murata has certainly taken on an extraordinary student.
Jackal's attitude was quite clear at this moment. Upon hearing this, Theresa couldn't help but complain, "I've never heard of Himeko's nickname 'Headmistress' before. But it makes sense. Given Himeko's position under the Headmistress, it's reasonable to consider her a Left or Right Envoy of the Demonic Path."
Upon hearing this, the jackal's pupils suddenly contracted. Sure enough, the mysteriously missing Himeko Murata, who was nominally at the Destiny Medical Institute, was extremely extraordinary. He had guessed quite a bit by following Theresa's trail.
Himeko Murata, a teacher at St. Freya Academy, once handled many administrative affairs for Theresa. According to the information obtained by Gray Serpent, Himeko Murata disappeared from St. Freya Academy at a time that was basically equivalent to the start of the new era.
It's likely that Theresa herself just admitted that the headmaster's wrath, Vice-Lord St. Freya, and the Left Envoy of the Demonic Path, Himeko Murata, are currently using the hospital as a pretext for healing, but are actually carrying out Theresa's grand plan somewhere in the world.
Jackal felt he had glimpsed a glimpse of the power of the Demon Marshal, while Mei looked down at Kiana and Bronya with a complicated expression.
"I'm sorry, I've lost my past memories. I don't know if the destruction of Krypton and the Land of Light has anything to do with me."
Mei was momentarily at a loss as to how to face her best friends. If the destruction of their hometown was truly related to her, then it was a genuine deep-seated hatred.
The thought of becoming enemies with Kiana and Bronya filled Mei with an overwhelming sense of gloom.
"Mei-neechan, no matter what kind of person the Doctor was in the past, at least the Mei-neechan that Bronya knows is Mei-neechan, the gentle and kind Mei-neechan."
"Mei-neechan would never do something like destroying a planet... no, I mean destroying, slaughtering civilizations," Bronya firmly believed. After all... Mei-neechan was the woman who could become my mother!
Bronya, who was originally going to say that Mei wouldn't do something like destroying a planet, suddenly remembered that the movie she watched before showed Mei burning a star just to see Alicia one last time.
"No matter what kind of person the Doctor is, Mei will always be Mei."
At this moment, Kiana held Mei's hand and said firmly that she would not change towards the girl in front of her because of Mei's past. If there were any bad things that happened in the past, she would work with Mei to change them.
After all, time is never an insurmountable barrier.
Meanwhile, the nightmare on the screen was clearly not satisfied with these two messages and tried to squeeze out more.
"I learned about the true enemy behind the destruction of the Land of Light through Su. As for the destruction of Krypton, I regret it immensely. I made a mistake in that incident."
Mei on the screen continued to reveal her secret, but the nature of this secret might not be as the people in the viewing space imagined. Her so-called wrongdoing was originally well-intentioned, and the nightmare that heard this information fell into a pause.
In the movie theater, Mei, who had initially felt a little relieved because of the first half of the sentence, suddenly felt like she had fallen into an abyss.
The destruction of Krypton...did I do something wrong?
