Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

"In short, because the demand for power on the [Net] is increasing, a large part of the power itself has been allocated to the [Net]."

"I have slacked off a bit on the stabilization of Mei Yi's core, coupled with the weakening of strength..."

"Then the Herrscher power in Mei's body exploded?" Alicia answered.

Long nodded: "I protected the lightning dragon horse at that time. It consumed too much power and almost couldn't maintain its shape. It automatically returned to your side."

"Even if you have to come back to me, I'm very happy." Ai Li hugged Long in her arms again: "Don't do this next time (sound of urn)"

"Well, I'll pay attention."

"However, I am a little curious." Alicia's voice came out immediately: "There must be a reason why the power in Meiyi's body suddenly rioted. Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen to mobilize the power after such a long period of stability, right?"

Long's face was troubled, but he had never changed his principle of saying whatever Alicia wanted.

"Actually...I probably understand why."

"When the conquest gem was transplanted into Mei Yi's body, her stigmata was also integrated into the gem—no, it wasn't actually integrated, but was offset."

"Although Mei Yi has already shown the stigmata, it is immature. Faced with the early implantation and adaptation of the Herrscher's core, Mei Yi will definitely become the Herrscher in the future - naturally the stigmata can no longer stay on her body and germinate. , the expression of the Stigmata gene was spontaneously rejected by Yayi's body, which has been classified as an imaginary number side."

"Well, that's a long way off. In short, this stigma has been expressed, but it has been rejected. It can only change a way of living."

"Then it was intertwined with Mei's emotions over a period of time due to the death of her mother, Ryoma's busy work, etc., and it became a... [thing] that can be considered [personality] in the concept of human society."

"It entered the core of the Herrscher and replaced Mei Yi as Mei Yi's [Herrscher personality]"

"..."

"This is considered an oversight on my part, so what I did was equivalent to imprisoning her for many years."

Alicia touched Long's hair and comforted her quickly: "It's okay, it's okay. Long is not an illusory god who is omniscient and omnipotent. He is a real person. People will make mistakes after all."

"Oh...it depends on the situation." Long hugged Ellie into his arms and said, "The current situation is...the amount of power this homely [thinking] possesses cannot even resist the immature Law of Thunder once." Even an explosion of power is so troublesome."

"Eh-?" Alicia said in surprise: "Wouldn't it be nice to take back some of our power?"

Long shook his head: "Ellie, you have forgotten that most of the friends I brought back are now all over the world to fight against the birth of Honkai events of all sizes. And -"

Long touched the side of Ellie's face: "The power you take up is really not that much. The real big heads...are all in the net and the moon."

"Well..." Ai Li thought for a moment and said happily: "Okay! Leave the safety of the family to me from now on."

"You, stay at home honestly during this period of time." He smiled and nodded Long's forehead.

"Hey - okay, okay."

-

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear some."

"Did you say what happened?"

"Dad's sudden appearance on the sofa with such a weak look is so worrying..."

On the sofa in the living room, Siren, Ai and other five sisters gathered together, chatting quietly about something - or rather, what did Raph hear when she heard the sound at her parents' door just now.

"Well... in short, dad is fine and has recovered."

"Then what? Did Dad say anything to Ellie's mother?"

"It seems that dad has very little power now and is using it in other places. From now on, the safety of the family will depend on mom."

"Didn't father tell me what happened?"

"Hmm..." Raph shook her head: "I didn't hear much clearly. I only heard Mei's name being said."

"Mei? What's wrong with her?"

"How do I know..."

"Ai?" Xilin was also thinking about what happened at this time, but she saw the sudden sense of understanding on Ai's face as he got the answer.

Ai nodded and said, "You may not have seen today's news."

"Shortly after my father came back, there was news on the news channel that the Raiden Mansion was destroyed."

"Could it be?" Xilin was stunned: "How could it be possible? Isn't Yayi already—"

Xilin thought deeply: "...Yes, Mei Yi has not really become a Herrscher, and can control the power of the Herrscher, let alone evolve."

The sisters realized that no one among them knew more about the Herrscher's power than Siren.

"Could it be said that the Herrscher core went berserk?" Yu asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Xilin nodded and said, but immediately shook her head: "That's not right... It's impossible for a perfect Herrscher to beat Dad into such an over-consumed state. Even I can't do it. Let alone the current level of Mei Yi’s Herrscher power.”

"..." Ai raised his head slightly and looked out the window: "Is the crisis coming again?"

Xilin clapped her hands: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's already so late and it's time to go to bed."

"Ah."

Up and down, going to the deepest: 252. The Law of Consciousness has arrived

However, there is something.

Long didn't say it clearly, and Alicia didn't say it either.

But there is one thing they both know now - that is, there is another endogenous reason for the riot of the power of Herrscher Mei.

That is the new consciousness born from the imaginary numbers hacked into the other side by Mebius and Prometheus No. 17.

It is the existence that many people in the civilization of this era call "The Will of Destruction".

The riot of power in Mei Yi's body is inseparable from its secret influence while Takashi's power is being transferred back.

In other words, it wants to speed up.

Several months have passed since the birth of Herrscher of Ice, and it has begun its search for a new target.

The world is big.

There are many humans.

The society is very big.

Therefore, there will never be a shortage of seeds of sorrow, let alone irrigation by the water of sin, which will produce appalling fruits.

Especially Canghai City, one of these gathering places that became increasingly large after the Second Collapse.

......

"Mei Yi, are you still unhappy?" Kiana held Mei Yi's arm, looked left and right and said coquettishly: "I took special leave today to accompany you to play. I even had to visit the school. I don't even have time to care about Youlandel, who is living as a kindergarten student."

Mei Yi cheered up her sluggish energy and forced a smile: "No, Kiana, I'm glad you are willing to accompany me to relax."

After she finished speaking, she patted her face to make her smile look friendly as usual, trying to make the depression and depression disappear from her face.

"Hehe." Kiana laughed, holding Mei's arm...or it would be more appropriate to call it pulling. After all, Kiana was completely leading the movement.

Seeing Kiana's lively look, Mei's mood improved a lot.

[I don’t dare to face my father, but luckily I still have my best friend Kiana...]

[You have to repay Kiana. 】

[Hmm... By the way, Kiana doesn't seem to have much pocket money... but she won't take the money directly. 】

[In this case... Treat Kiana to a big meal, buy nice clothes, buy her favorite games... Is there anything else to spend money on?]

[Then first take Mei Yi to see the clothing store that is also available in Canghai City. Dad often buys clothes for me.]

But what Yayi doesn't know is that although there is a store with the same name in Canghai City... there are only two stores in Changkong City and Canghai City in the world. The operator and the store owner are a pair of brothers, and they have opened in the two cities. A store with a family name as its signature.

But Meiyi, who didn't pay much attention, thought it was a chain store... She didn't even notice that it was a store specializing in private customization.

The two brothers who own the store are world-renowned fashion designers.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Raiden Mei's little coffers can't pay, or that the shop owner doesn't know her.

How could she not know the eldest lady of ME Club, these people who make top-notch private custom clothing, let alone one of them whose brother has made more than ten sets for Meiyi over the years.

therefore...

"Huh? It's closed." Yayi looked at the navigation on her phone, then looked at this small shop with a solemn and simple exterior, and was a little surprised: "Why is it closed?"

Kiana also looked at the store and Mei Yi in confusion. She was not confused about why it was closed, she was more confused: "Mei Yi, why do you think this store will not close?"

Yayi was stunned for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "This...probably...is because...I thought it was just an ordinary chain store...right?"

"Ordinary... chain store?" Kiana looked at the store name again, then looked at Mei and blinked: "This store is very famous and specializes in private custom clothing. It is a brother store. There are only two in the world. One is in Canghai City and the other is in Changkong City. The two brothers are world-renowned designers."

"Hey!?" Now it was Mei Yi's turn to be shocked.

"Oh~ I understand!" Kiana suddenly realized: "I almost forgot that Mei Yi is indeed a world-class young lady in the eyes of outsiders."

"Hey, Mei, I'm afraid you don't have a lot of common sense about ordinary people's lives~"

"..."

"Yeah~! Successfully made Mei Yi's expression lively." Kiana cheered.

"Okay, stop talking about Kiana, I'm so embarrassed."

Mei blushed slightly and patted Kiana's white-haired head.

Kiana stopped then and asked with curious eyes: "So Mei, where should we go next?"

Mei looked at her phone and said, "It's almost time. How about I take Kiana out for a big dinner?"

"Okay! I like the feast!"

"Okay, I'll look for the navigation."

As Mei said, she looked at her phone and started operating the navigation software.

"Ok?"

But suddenly an inexplicable "garbled" pop-up window entered her mobile phone screen.

This made Mei feel strange: "Is the software malfunctioning? No way? This is the teacher's company software and mobile phone."

"Jingle bell~"

A crisp bell rang, and Mei Yi subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw that the lights inside the store that had been closed not long ago were now on, and the door had just closed automatically.

And Kiana is also missing.

"Kiana?" Mei Yi looked around and found no sign of her: "It seems that she went in by herself."

"Well, the boss should be inside. Kiana went in first when she saw the light turned on." As she said that, Mei also put her phone away, walked to the front of the store, and slowly opened the door.

With a crisp jingle, her figure disappeared into the street.

However, Mei didn't notice.

When she looked around at Kiana, all the traffic in this bustling commercial street had stopped. There was no one on the street at the moment, and it was extremely cold.

But she was only looking for Kiana and didn't pay attention to all this.

...Maybe it's useless to notice.

After all, she had already fallen into the first-level illusion that was infected by the meme spread by the Herrscher, and went to the second-level single-person illusion prison specially made for her by the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The Lawyer of Knowledge—has arrived.

Darkness, long darkness.

It is said that when a person loses his vision, his other senses, such as hearing, touch, etc., will be greatly strengthened.

That if.

In this darkness, hearing, touch, smell, taste, etc. completely disappear, leaving only the conscious perception of the creature itself.

What about the living beings inside it?

...

Leiden Meiyi was thinking in this darkness.
