Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

After hearing Raven's confession, Mei was distrustful at first.

[…Impossible, I never knew such a thing.]

Faced with her questioning, Raven mercilessly revealed the truth.

[Have you ever thought about this? One Herrscher core can destroy an entire city, and there are three of them sealed in her body. How could she be safe and sound? ]

[All along, the girl has been relying on a "shackle" to suppress the Herrscher in her body, barely maintaining her sanity, but she is simply unable to resist the infection of Honkai. ]

[And now, that shackle no longer exists. ]

[The sea is rising, monsters are gathering, and Judgment-level Honkai beasts are also being summoned... The series of changes happening in Changkong City all point to the same fact - her consciousness is fading, and the Herrscher's consciousness is awakening, just like floodwaters about to break through a dam.]

After explaining the reasons, Raven also expressed her personal judgment.

[Although the organization said they would observe her, the girl is definitely beyond saving now. I guess she had a premonition, so she hid in such a sparsely populated place.]

[I must eliminate the hidden danger before things become irreversible. ]

Raven said this to the former Herrscher of Thunder, Kiana's beloved, and the savior of the children...

Chapter 147 Mei: I will take her away. Raven: Before that, I will kill her.

[Wait, wait a minute! ]

Although Mei knew that what Raven said was true, she still didn't want Kiana to get hurt, so she proposed a solution.

[Anti-Entropy will send a fleet to escort her to a place far away from the Far East. In this way, the children can also stay away from danger... ]

[I don't think Anti-Entropy can save her. The disaster four months ago is still fresh in my memory.]

【If you want to do it, do it right and solve the problem from the root. 】

"Hmm...Why do I feel like she's holding a grudge? Is it because of the island villa?"

A pink bullet screen floated by...

Alicia had heard Kong's previous description and knew that Raven had lost his island villa because of the previous disaster.

Now she is determined to make things difficult for Kiana. It's hard to say that she has no selfish motives, right?

"Yes, a little... But it's more out of fear, right?"

"Oh? Do you think so? I think she is just too afraid of the Herrscher."

"Oh, haha. I didn't expect you all to talk so much. I was just dealing with some small matters. I'm free now."

In the live broadcast room, comments from the audience floated across one after another.

Just as everyone was expressing their opinions, Mei in the game refuted Raven's statement.

[What's the point of solving the problem? You just want to kill her...! ]

Raven didn't refute this, because she knew she couldn't convince the girl in front of her.

[You have done a favor to the children, and that is not my goal. I don't want to conflict with you. But if you insist on hindering me, that is another matter...! ]

Then, the game entered the real machine interface. Players need to control Mei to fight against Raven.

However, there is no mandatory victory requirement for this battle. You can pass the level as long as you reduce the Raven's health by half.

Ding-ding-ding

【Sleep peacefully. 】

[I... won't let you get close to her...! ]

Mei had no intention of compromising in the face of Raven's advice.

As soon as she finished speaking, a new round of attacks came.

Shadows flitted, flashed, blossomed, and disappeared, turning the small shantytown into a cage. The dark mist embraced Mei from all sides, leaving scarlet wounds.

But when the black fog dissipated, the girl still stood. The pain of her body could not knock her down, because the pain in her heart supported her to stand up.

The raven frowned, stopped its attack, and stayed high up in the "nest" looking down at the prey in the cage.

Then, her eyes changed. The rose-red eyes gradually glowed with blood. The strange cloak suddenly flew up in the windless air, rustling.

【Wait, wait a minute! 】

Sora's voice disrupted the original rhythm of the battle.

The raven cloak fell again. She tilted her head and looked at the small figure leaning out of the door.

[Sora, why did you run out without permission?]

[Teacher...why did you fight with Mei?...Mei didn't bully us. She is very kind to everyone and she saved me...! She is just looking for a friend and will leave when she finds one...With the teacher's ability, he will definitely find Mei's friend.]

Sora's words softened Raven's attitude. However, she did not give in.

【I can't leave her friends to her.】

【why? 】

[Because that person is very dangerous and will hurt you and everyone else.]

[......? ....Can Mei still see her...]

Raven didn't answer, but her silence was more unacceptable than any answer.

Facing such a teacher, Kong seemed very sad. She liked Mei very much and was very grateful for the kindness shown to her by this strange girl.

So, she showed her true feelings, hoping that Raven would give Mei a chance.

Kong began to cry uncontrollably. She hugged her head and tried to lower her head to hide her face, like a frightened little animal.

The scene seemed familiar to Raven.

More than ten years ago, in the village that turned into a sea of ​​fire, a girl also cried like this.

[...Good boy, don't be afraid. ]

She landed gently on the ground and bent down to wipe away the tears from the little girl's eyes.

[I promise you.....give her a chance. ]

Raven squatted in Kong's ear and whispered many words to the frightened girl before coaxing her back into the house. She carefully closed the door, and remained silent for a long time facing the house, and finally turned around and sighed.

[…Don’t get children involved in adult disputes. If you want to know where she is, follow her. I won’t hit you, and you don’t have to stop me.]

Finally, Raven decided to fulfill his promise.

[I won't change my opinion of her. But you can do whatever you want... It's up to you. ]

After she said this, the level ended.

"Haha~ As expected, a beautiful girl with a kind heart can get help from others. Phew, I was so nervous just now, I was really worried that Mei would not be able to hold on."

A pink bullet screen floated by...

It can be seen that Alicia is very worried about Mei's safety. After all, if she falls, no one can save Kiana.

However, things have taken a turn for the better now. Mei...should soon get what she wants, right?

Afterwards, the raven left the nest with Mei.

The two killed many Honkai beasts on their way to where Kiana was. Raven also explained the construction principle of the "safe zone".

After fighting alongside her for a while, Mei finally voiced her doubts.

[I... don't think you are a completely evil person. Xiaokong told me a lot about you. She respects you very much and is proud to have a teacher like you. ]

[But while you were helping these children, you were also helping the World Serpent to push the entire city's people onto the experimental bench.]

[Don't you feel... contradictory? ]

Raven opened his eyes and smiled softly at her.

[You may have some misunderstandings about me. I am a mercenary. As long as the pay is reasonable, I can do anything and kill anyone. Maybe in your opinion, I have saved more than a dozen children, but compared with the lives I have personally destroyed, this is really an insignificant number. ]

Raven then recounted the conflicts she had experienced and witnessed, as well as... the memories of rescuing Sora.

After saying all this, she responded to Mei's question.

[You believe in her will and are willing to pay a price to bet on her chance of defeating the Herrscher; I fear her power and do not want to take the risk of the Herrscher of the Void reviving.]

[I only believe in practical evidence, but unfortunately... you and Anti-Entropy don't have such a thing. ]

She dropped the last Honkai beast, folded her cloak and walked away.

[I am an evil person, but not a demon. However, there are truly crazy demons in this world. ]

[People who hate her, people who use her, people who covet her, people who manipulate her. From now on, there will be no more happiness in that girl's fate. What awaits her is an endless hell.]

[You can't even stop me, how are you going to stop those people?]

Once the raven said this, the level ended.

Her words were extremely devastating to Mei. From Rita... to Yulandel... to her. Almost everyone was telling a sad truth.

You are too weak...you can't protect Kiana at all.

To Mei, their words were not harsh but she was powerless to refute them.

"Mei... Oh, she really needs strength. However, I still hope she can still maintain her gentleness..."

A pink barrage floated across the screen...expressing Alicia's expectations for Mei.

Afterwards, Mei and the raven returned to the nest. Dr. Tesla, who had been ignored by the two of them for a long time, was also liberated at this time.

Raven said at the end that only Mei was allowed to come with him.

On the spaceship, Mei responded to Tesla's question and said that she would definitely keep the appointment no matter how dangerous it was.

The two parties then met at the agreed time and place.

After a warm-up battle, the final enemy that needed to be defeated appeared in front of the two.

That is the dragon that appeared before, Benares...

She is different from other Honkai beasts. She wants to protect Kiana from the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, in order to protect Kiana, Mei has to team up with Raven to defeat it...

After defeating Benares for the second time, the two men reached their final moment.

[Now, the Herrscher of the Void is only a stone's throw away from us. ]

On the rooftop, Raven spoke slowly to Mei.

[She is very dangerous and could lose control at any time. Even if she is sent to another place, it will not stop the symptoms from getting worse.]

[I am looking forward to it. What will you choose to do? ]

In response to Raven's question, Mei's answer was firm.

【I will take her away.】

[I'm afraid you can only take one body with you. Before that, I will kill her.]

After hearing this, Mei was silent for a while.

She was very aware of the gap between herself and Raven, but she didn't want to, and wasn't willing to, give up here.

【I won’t let this happen.】

Swah——

The sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at the woman in black robe. As if she had been waiting for this moment, she smiled back.

[...Haha, very good.]

[It seems that you and I both know... this is the only way! ]

As soon as the words fell, the game entered the real machine interface again.

The boss-level enemy that needs to be fought this time is Raven, a cadre of the World Serpent.

Compared to when she was in the nest, her fighting style became even wilder. Apparently, she was free to let go because she had no worries.

And Mei is still Mei. There is no substantial improvement.

However, after a battle, Raven's health was reduced to half.

Just then, the plot came!
