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

Impossible... If she could use her power to erode me like she did with my memory, she wouldn't have spent so much time and effort to deal with me... Besides, she seems to have no reaction to the current situation...

Mei quickly analyzed the situation in front of her, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.

Wait, this feeling is...

In the intermittent pain of Ye, a few short words of advice were like lightning and disappeared in an instant.

[However, you may not realize now...how crucial you are to the whole plan. ]

Weiwei's instructions are still fresh in my mind.

[But it doesn't matter, Su will make you understand. I hope he has seen the "message" I left for him. ]

[…These are all the puzzle pieces.]

It was not until this moment that Mei realized the deep meaning of what Velvet said before giving her the true mark.

After realizing this, the pain gradually receded like the tide.

The sounds in my ears became clear again.

"Wow, has Vivi already planned this? I didn't expect her planning ability to be so strong. It seems that she is on par with Mei."

"Indeed, being able to think so much before being corrupted is an extremely powerful ability."

"Humph, she really stole the show. But with so many plans, can we really defeat this Herrscher who is like the end in the data?"

Following Wei Erwei's well-intentioned revelation, comments from viewers immediately filled the live broadcast room.

Obviously, everyone at this moment has realized Weiwei's strong planning ability.

I also deeply understood the meaning of "as long as I want, I can do it"...

[Mei, you really don't want to talk to me again?]

【I can tell you all the answers you want, okay?】

The Herrscher of Erosion was trying to persuade Mei earnestly.

Of course, rather than persuading, it would be more accurate to say that she was simply forcing.

Because she didn't even give Mei a second option...

But Mei doesn't care about these things, because after training in the paradise for so long, she has already become very good at dealing with human (or non-human) beings.

It seems that I really need to hold back the Herrscher of Corrosion before I meet up with Su...

Well, this is an opportunity.

[Hmph... This doesn't seem like asking for advice. You didn't give me any other options, did you?]

[I knew that a girl like Mei, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, would not have the heart to reject me. ]

Erosion did not deny this, which could be said to be a disguised admission that Mei's guess was correct.

She really didn't intend to give Mei a second choice.

[So where should I start? I need to think about this carefully... Oh yeah, let's start with the part that Mei wants to know the most!]

'Snapped--'

With a snap of the fingers, the scenery of the amusement park began to distort and change...

When the dazzling lights came on again, the furnishings in front of me were no longer the same as before.

【Ferris wheel...? 】

[That’s what Alicia said to you, right? — ahem! “Let’s go to that foggy island, to the place where the last banquet took place, and witness the birth and end of the Thirteenth Herrscher together.”]

The Herrscher of Corrosion deliberately imitated Alicia's tone and read out these words.

As for the sound, there is actually no need to imitate it deliberately.

Because just from her appearance and voice, she is very similar to Alicia.

It can even be said that it has reached a dangerous level that is close to being indistinguishable from the real thing.

[Come on! Mei - let's fulfill the promise we made back then now. ]

[Then it's time to talk to each other, just like... a date?]

"Why is this guy so annoying?╬??д??╬?"

A barrage of comments with moonlight effects floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, at this moment, the Herrscher of Corrosion's hypocritical behavior has aroused Kiana's anger.

But before Kiana could recover from her anger, Mei had already moved from the entrance of the amusement park to the Ferris wheel transformed by the Herrscher of Corrosion.

[Wow... So this is the view from the Ferris wheel. ]

[Although there are similar scenes in my memory, it is a completely different feeling to experience it in person!]

[I seem to understand why they would deliberately open up a space to store these seemingly meaningless contents.]

After listening to the Herrscher of Corrosion's speculation, Mei fell silent.

"Uh... that doesn't seem to be the case?"

"I can only say that for this imitator... the gap is not even a little bit big."

"Haha, that's a good imitation, but don't pretend next time."

Obviously, the Herrscher of Corrosion's misunderstanding of Paradise directly caused Mei and everyone in the live broadcast room to be unhappy.

[Okay, Mei, don't look so serious. ]

【Wouldn't it be a very pleasant thing to have a romantic Ferris wheel date with me?】

"(〃＞皿＜) What on earth does this guy want to do?!"

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

Obviously, Kiana was once again irritated by the Herrscher of Corrosion's malicious provocation.

If conditions allowed, she really wanted to fly into the paradise and kill this Herrscher immediately - of course, the prerequisite was that she could defeat Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent.

[Ah...Are you surprised that I can create a Ferris wheel out of thin air? Don't mind it, this is just a little girl's idea to add a little spice to our journey?]

[Adjustment? Isn't that a deterrent? From just now, you seem to have been emphasizing your "control" over the paradise intentionally or unintentionally. ]

In the face of Mei's ruthless correction, the Herrscher of Corrosion showed considerable patience.

[Alas... Mei, you are always put in the position of the villain. Even I would be sad. ]

[I thought that at least you could understand my position and thoughts, and at least we could be friends. After all... we are "the same kind".]

[“Same kind”? You may have forgotten that the girl you are trying to play is also your “same kind”. ...Why did you erase Alicia’s memory? Weiwei told me that among all people, only Alicia’s data was completely deleted by you.]

In response to this question, the Ruler of Erosion hesitated for a while and then gave a long explanation.

In order to prove the authenticity of this explanation, the Herrscher of Corrosion even went to great lengths to create an illusion for Mei to experience her own feelings.

This can be roughly understood as all this was just an accident.

Because it was still very young at that time and could not control its desire for beauty.

[Now, Mei will understand the situation I was in at the time. ]

[On one hand, there was the fear of facing a foreign object, and on the other hand, there was the desire to protect myself... For a weak and young me, the temptation of survival instinct was too sweet. Just like what you saw just now, my actions did not receive any resistance at that time... Looking back, this also proves that she had no hostility towards me. ]

[Unfortunately... that was something I finally understood after I had absorbed more data and grown.]

Therefore, Erosion's words can be roughly understood as - this is my fault, but there is nothing I can do about it, so the fault is not mine but the world's...

“How shameless…”

"It's not a good habit to evade responsibility like this~"

"It's logically sound, but is it really a good idea?"

"I was almost convinced by her. Fortunately, I realized that all this was just shirking responsibility."

As the Herrscher of Corrosion began her sophistry, comments from the audience floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, everyone at this moment is very clear - all of this is just a sophistry made by the Corrosion Ruler to justify his own evil deeds.

[If you claim that you attacked Alicia just out of instinct, then what happened next?]

[Your invasion has not ended. After gaining knowledge and the power to overthrow Paradise, are you also going to just brush off the tragedy you created with the word "instinct"?]

In response to Mei's subsequent accusations, the Herrscher of Corrosion began to give hypocritical explanations.

It can be roughly understood that after devouring Alicia and deleting her, this Herrscher roughly transformed into a new life.

But she didn't expect that Alicia's disappearance would cause such a big stir.

Among these, the biggest threat to her is Kevin's memory.

Just at this time, the villain invited her, and with the help of this "friend", she successfully dealt with Kevin.

But the good times didn't last long...

[Unfortunately...two unexpected things still happened. One of them was Qianjie.]

When Mei heard Qianjie's name, she was quite surprised.

Qianjie... He has also...

[The noise he made was really too loud...so I had to run out and meet him in person.]

[Fortunately, Qianjie is a very frank person, and we had a very pleasant conversation. ]

"**, **************!"

In the live broadcast room, a series of asterisks floated by - this was a sign that the civilized live broadcast room harmony system had been activated.

In other words, this is a barrage of "elegant and easy-going".

As for the person who sent it, there is no need to think too much about it. It was Qianjie who was having a "very pleasant conversation" with the Herrscher of Erosion.

[I can imagine that Qianjie must have "welcomed" you very warmly. ]

Mei sneered coldly.

Of course, although she looked calm on the surface, she was secretly quite shocked by Qianjie's departure.

...In other words, Qianjie was not aware of the existence of the "Hersher of Corrosion" before.

So what did he do to cause the other party to show up and confront him?

The answer is actually quite easy to come by.

Because of Qianjie's personality, it is unlikely that he would come up with any strategy with high technical content.

Destruction and violence are his preferences.

So it is obvious that Qianjie can only destroy.

[And the other surprise... is you, Mei. ]

[Originally, I was indeed on guard against you. So when the villain implemented her plan, I did not do anything to stop her. But you performed really well. Not only did you resolve the crisis, but you also defeated her with a method that I didn't even know about.]

[Now that things have come to this, how can I not come out and say hello to you... I really want to know what kind of person can break through the psychological defenses of that evil person and make a life's will to survive collapse.]

Through these words, Mei deduced that the Herrscher of Corrosion had not yet completely eroded Velvi's data.

That's why she didn't know about the existence of Velvet's true self.

At the same time, this also means that even the Herrscher of Corrosion cannot fully explore every corner of the Paradise...

[So, this is how you defend yourself? You commit crimes just to survive... I don't intend to comment on this. But you should understand... every action has a "price".]

[Don't jump to conclusions, Mei. 】

Afterwards, the Herrscher of Corrosion began to defend herself again, and her theory could be roughly understood as follows: in her opinion, there is actually commonality between reality and data.

Therefore, the memories of the heroes can completely leave the paradise of the past and go to the real world.

Reappear in this world as a new life.

Isn't this what is called "resurrection from the dead"?

And she can do this, too.

[No, in the real world... there is only one name for such an existence. "Virus."]

[Ah... I thought this was a great idea. ]
