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

Hearing this, Mei became curious. Could it be that Raven had some mission that required him to leave temporarily?

However, the actual situation was not as serious as she had imagined.

It can even be said that it is a bit too casual...

[No, it's not a mission, it's literally leaving the organization, following the formal process. Why, I didn't tell you? ]

【No. 】

Hearing Mei's answer, Raven sighed.

【It seems we haven’t talked enough. 】

[I thought you grew up in the organization. I heard that you were still a child when Gray Snake brought you back.]

Mei said tentatively. If it were in the past, Raven would basically not say anything extra to her.

But after spending so much time together, Raven reluctantly considered her a companion.

[Yes. He brought me out of the frozen Siberian soil and raised me to be a warrior for snakes.]

[But I don't like this place, there's no reason, I just feel like I don't belong here...So when I grew up, I proposed to leave and find the life I wanted to live.]

After hearing Raven reveal her past, Mei, who had long been interested in her, immediately asked:

【Then what? 】

[You would never guess that Gray Snake agreed so readily.]

"Eh? So casual..."

A pink bullet screen floated by...

Alicia didn't expect that this organization that worships Kevin as its leader would act so casually.

Is it so easy to leave the organization?

Archbishop Otto was also surprised by the new discovery...

"Incredible... The World Serpent is so loosely managed? It's hard to imagine that it could exist for so long..."

As the Archbishop appointed by Heaven, Otto had extraordinary insights into management.

Therefore, he could not imagine that an organization whose members could leave at will could exist for so long...

【So simple? 】

Mei was also puzzled by the gray snake's behavior.

It was hard for her to imagine that the black man would let the raven go so easily.

Doesn't he feel sorry for Raven, the warrior he trained?

[Yes, it's that simple, I didn't even ask why. For a moment, I felt like an insignificant chess piece. The snake didn't care whether I stayed or left.]

However, the next second, Raven changed the subject.

[It would be nice if that were true. But the gray snake only said one sentence - "You will come back." ]

【He was right. Yes.】

Raven's words explained why she was here now.

Mei couldn't understand this.

【why? 】

【Because the world outside is no different and just as bad as inside.】

Raven finally said something so true and a little sad.

Raven cut a piece of ice into his cup with great skill and precision.

The ice cubes floated in the liquid, reflecting the outline of the room. The environment here is old, but the tables and chairs are not covered with dust, and there are no cobwebs, which shows that someone has been taking care of it regularly.

Although the lights are dim, they provide visitors with a subtle feeling of intoxication, which is quite special.

[I originally wanted to open a cafe, but the catering industry is not easy to do, and I don’t think I have any cooking skills. ]

After a brief silence, Raven began to talk about her past.

【After it was converted into a bar, many gang members and intelligence dealers came to patronize it. Thanks to them, a little girl like me learned a lot of things that I shouldn't know, and I also earned a lot of extra income.】

[Your mercenary career begins here. 】

However, in response to Mei's speculation, Raven said:

[That's another story. I'll tell you when I have a chance. Oh, it was a nostalgic time. Now that I'm a cadre, I don't have the energy to take care of this place. It's just sitting there anyway, so why not give this child some use, so that he can maintain his old state and come back to visit often.]

When talking about "this child", Raven's voice became very light and gentle.

In Mei's memory, she only had this expression when she was talking about her children.

[The reason you went back was related to the children, right?]

[Don't guess. I just took a look outside and found that the World Snake still gave the most. I'm going back now.]

"Hahaha, so it's because they gave too much?"

"It fits the identity of a mercenary, doesn't it?"

"Tell me, as long as the price is right, can she assassinate Kevin?"

As Raven explained the reason for his return, dark comments appeared in the live broadcast room...

To the Thousand Rulers, all the previous things were not as interesting as this sentence.

Anyway, they are all desperate people, so this is probably the only point that they can resonate with Raven...

[Whether it's inside or outside, the business is the same, so it's better to choose the one that makes more money and is stable, right?]

After hearing what Raven said, Mei immediately began to instigate a rebellion.

[Now that you've made enough money, why don't you quit World Snake and come back here to continue running the tavern? ]

Her words made it hard to guess whether she wanted to stir up some trouble within the World Serpent.

Unfortunately, her words must have been unpleasant to Raven, who no longer had a villa on the island...

The two then talked about some topics such as what is right and what is possible.

At the end of the conversation, I felt there was nothing more to say, so I left the pub.

Before leaving, Raven, the tavern owner, suddenly asked:

[How do you feel? Let's go together again if we have a chance. I'll make something special for you next time.]

【I don’t like drinking.】

【Then I'll make you a special milk. 】

"Hmm~ As expected, the friendship between girls is really amazing. They became so tacitly connected so quickly~"

A pink bullet screen floated by...

It was obvious that Alicia was very interested in the interaction between the two.

For a moment, she was a little worried that Mei would be kidnapped by the raven!

However, Mei's feelings for Kiana can stand the test, so there is no need to worry about these.

Raven turned around and closed the door, and Mei took one last look at the tavern.

A dark alley, an inconspicuous house number - "Raven's".

But it's a magical place - so she thought.

Then the screen went black and it was noon the next day.

Raven and Mei came to a warehouse to collect clues. As for why they came to a place like a warehouse to collect clues.

The reason is also very simple...

[Those out-of-control factory machines are still having a party inside, go and calm them down. Be careful this time and don't demolish the building, or I'll be in trouble.]

[Who should I tell? ]

[Of course she is the boss of this territory. She is an old friend of mine. I came here today just to confirm some things with her.]

After hearing Raven's explanation, Mei couldn't help but sigh.

[You have a really wide network of contacts. ]

But in response to her sentiment, Raven's answer was as realistic as ever.

[Based on a relationship of interest. If you want to get information, you have to give them some benefits - such as helping to solve the problem of a haunted warehouse.]

[I understand. Go ahead.]

Afterwards, Mei said goodbye to Raven and started to deal with the mechas moving around in the warehouse.

When the battle became difficult, a beam of light suddenly flew over and directly hit the runaway mecha...

Mei came to her senses and saw that it was Raven who was standing on a high place with a gun to help her.

【You came back pretty quickly. 】

[I came back after getting the information I wanted. Did you not damage the warehouse? ]

【well enough. 】

Mei glanced at the sniper rifle in Raven's hand.

[Do I need to use the Key of God to deal with an enemy of this level?]

In response to Mei's question, Raven gave a very strange answer. She said that the gun in her hand also has emotions.

You have to take it out and use it occasionally, otherwise you won’t be able to use it properly.

She then handed the gun to Mei.

And the weapon in Mei's hand took on a new appearance.

[Hmm? Wow... How should I put it, it suits you quite well? It seems that this kid likes you very much. Perhaps this is the mutual appreciation between the Herrscher of Thunder.]

Mei felt the Key of God in her hand, and somewhat understood what Raven meant by "mood".

[It’s really a wonderful feeling.]

[I told you so long ago.]

Mei handed the Seven Thunders of Purification back to Raven, and it turned back into a sniper rifle.

Later, the raven mentioned a time when it was in a bad state and turned into a slingshot.

By the way, she also mentioned an interesting thing.

[Well, I learned something interesting. Remember what Gray Snake said about it being suspicious? Because this puppet didn't act alone.]

[Are there multiple puppets committing crimes at the same time? ]

[No, it's not. There are "humans" helping it. ]

Raven then roughly told the information he had learned, but because the enemy only acted at night, there was still some time left.

So Raven invited Mei to the place where she had placed Sora, and the two adults and one child spent some time together.

Then Raven went into the house and talked to the children, and she came out not long after.

【Are the children all right? 】

[They have three meals a day, no worries about food and clothing, and their treatment and care are all handled by professionals - they are no longer children trapped in the "nest". ]

After listening to this, Mei began to sigh at the atmosphere here.

[This place is so beautiful, like a paradise, where collapse has never happened. ]

[They should have grown up in the park. Go in and take a look next time. The children all want to see you.]

Mei didn't reply.

【Oh...speaking of children.】

[I heard that a little boy ran here yesterday with a piece of paper. ]
