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

But Aponia also discovered that as she [touched] the paradise, something seemed to be hiding from her, dwelling in the shadows that she had not yet touched.

[But when my consciousness finally reached there, it disappeared again, leaving only some kind of... unknown warmth.]

In other words, Eden has now discovered that something bad is lurking in the paradise.

And this thing obviously cannot be anyone among Yingjie, nor can it be Mei.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to fail to observe the results.

[Could it be the missing Sakura?]

Although Eden is reluctant to believe Sakura, Sakura is indeed the most suspicious at the moment.

Because among the heroes, excluding the two who disappeared, she is the most likely suspect.

As for this conjecture, Aponia just shook his head slowly.

Although Sakura's whereabouts are also erratic, her characteristics can be detected and identified.

But the shadows that Aponya observed were things she had never come into contact with, or people she had never seen.

Upon hearing this discovery, Eden's first thought was that perhaps it was the culprit that caused Kevin and Ellie to disappear.

But Aponia played it safe and said he couldn't be sure of that.

However, it is certain that its appearance is related to the changes in Paradise.

Upon hearing this, Eden naturally thought that this might be something outside of paradise.

In other words, an intruder...

"Invaders from Paradise? Invading where? The facility where the World Serpents train their officers?"

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Obviously, Kiana found the information they obtained incredible.

After all, that is the role that the Paradise of the Past seems to play.

But who would go through the trouble of invading the interior of the World Serpent and risk being struck by Kevin?

The point is, the invasion was just a training facility... This really shouldn't have happened.

"Yeah, what kind of people would invade Paradise? On the other hand, it is quite powerful to be able to find loopholes in Paradise~"

A pink bullet screen floated across the screen...

Obviously, at this moment, Alicia was also surprised by this discovery.

To be honest, she doesn't really understand these things with a higher level of technology.

But she believed in her companions and also believed that the person who designed this paradise of the afterlife should not leave any loopholes for people to exploit, right?

However, Apolonia's observations are equally credible.

So how did this invader break into this heavily guarded paradise?

As Alicia's barrage of comments passed by, Aponia further analyzed the current situation to Eden.

[No, although I don't know why, the connection between Paradise and the outside world has been disconnected since Alicia disappeared.]

This is not good news, because it means that the paradise where people could move freely has now been blocked.

You don't have to worry about the memory, after all, there is no way to get out.

But this is very important for Mei, the only trial-taker in the entire Land of the Past.

Eden was well aware of the seriousness of this, so he asked Mei if she knew about it.

In response, Aponya said that she should have realized this earlier when she met Hua.

[I wonder if the other party trapped Miss Mei here accidentally or intentionally... Can you try to "touch" it again?]

【I...will do my best.】

Aponya put her hand on her chest and made the promise, but she seemed a little scared after making the promise.

[......Eden, do you think the "root" of all this is not among the Yingjie?]

[It's too early to draw any conclusions now, Aponya. Moreover, there were many clues about Kevin's disappearance last night. There must be something we haven't noticed.]

As he spoke, Eden showed something that Aponya couldn't take his eyes off.

But I don’t know if I’m too lazy to model it, or if I think it’s better to hide the objects in this context.

The golden crystal flower held by Eden did not appear on the screen.

But this did not stop Aponya from sighing at it.

[Ah...that flower, Eden, you are here to confirm its whereabouts, right?]

The moment she saw the flower, Aponya realized what Eden wanted to say.

She also told him without reservation that the crystal flower had been handed over to Grayshu.

Of course, it is highly likely that Grayshull does not know the intention of the crystal flower.

[I'm sorry, Eden. But I think you can understand why I made this decision.]

[When there is no other way, can at least the "key" and the "truth" be preserved...]

Eden slowly expressed Aponya's thoughts.

[Of course, this is also the last thing we can do for "her". ]

Eden instinctively sensed something strange in Aponya's words.

"Finally"... She had heard this word too many times today. It had almost become a cursed line in a play.

【Aponia, you...】

【As I see it, the repentance of past sins will come to me. 】

If someone else said this, they might just be giving up on themselves.

But if it was Aponya who said this, the situation would be different.

"Aponya, does what she said mean?"

"It should be, right? After all..."

"It's incredible. She could actually predict her own death? But then again, who still remembers her prediction?"

"???"

As Aponia spoke about his observations, comments from heroes suddenly filled the live broadcast room.

Of course, Aponia himself is indispensable.

Because at this moment she discovered that although she could predict the final destruction, she could not predict the destruction of the paradise in her past life and her own destruction.

So now she has three philosophical questions in her mind: Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

But soon, Aponya on the screen announced the destination she was heading to.

[I will not dodge, I will embrace it. ]

[It's a pity that the promise to sing a song for everyone seems to be impossible to fulfill...]

These words seem familiar...

I remember that a long time ago, a man who was about to die said something similar.

That was Archbishop Otto...

And after he said this, he indeed planned his own death and created a world where Kallen existed.

At this moment, Aponia's remarks almost made the old audience in the live broadcast room think of Otto instantly.

The only difference is that Otto wanted to revive a person, while Aponia mentioned past sins...

So what were her past sins?

【…Maybe there are other solutions. 】

Before everyone could figure this out, Eden tried to dissuade them.

Aponya seemed surprised that the request came out of her mouth.

[Strange. Eden, you are neither a psychic nor a predictor, why do you seem to see through my thoughts?]

[I don't need those abilities, Aponya, I'm very familiar with them... Your face has already shown the kind of expression we have long known.]

Eden looked at his best friend and revealed slowly.

[…An expression that shows one is determined to die.]

Then, white light enveloped the screen.

The light shines, as if countless pairs of "hands" are reaching out to the distant sky.

[Are you determined to die? This is really... a description that doesn't suit me... ah! ]

Her touch came to an abrupt end.

Because soon, with her "embrace", a "third person" came to this church.

The sky darkened with his arrival, as if it was about to fall into an abyss from which there was no return...

Or... that's the "Abyss" itself.

【Why... is it you...? 】

There was a hint of disbelief in Aponya's words.

[...Thousands of calamities?]

However, after Aponia said the man's name, the game's narrative perspective changed again.

This time, the plot is about Mei and Velvet.

[Very good, I declare that I have completely ruled out suspicion. Next...]

Paddo announced happily, as if the problem no longer existed.

And just when she said that next time she wanted to see other people's memories, she must take herself with her.

Hua suddenly appeared in front of the three people.

After some pleasantries, Mei expressed her wish to view Hua's memories.

Through the machine given by Weiwei, she and Paduo saw Hua sitting next to the fire with his back against the ruins.

【team leader......】

Against the firelight, Mei couldn't see the expression on Qinghua's face, but even so, she could still imagine what the scene was like.

That was...a look of farewell.

[Pado, let's go to the next memory. ]

[Sister Mei, why don’t you go help Ah Hua...]

Paduo said this with some sadness, but Mei could only shake her head secretly.

[She cannot sense our presence. This is just her memory...it is the past that has already happened and cannot be changed.]

[Is that so... But Ah Hua...]

Mei stared at the dying girl in the distance, as if she was picking up some of her own memories through time.

Those deep and painful separations will always remain dormant in the shadow of memory, turning into wounds that cannot be healed in the depths of the soul. But those wounds will eventually scab over and become the strength that supports the girl to move forward.

She looked away.

[Pado, this is just a memory. You finally defeated the collapse, and this is the only thing that will never change.]

【Um. 】

【Let’s go. 】

Afterwards, Mei and Paduo watched Hua's next memory.

The person who appeared in this memory was Alicia.

It was just that it was not Hua she was looking for, but Hua who found her.

After some chatting that Alicia was accustomed to, Hua tapped his forehead and fell into deep thought.
