Collapse, I save everything alone

However, no matter what, he will go there, after all, it is a rare opportunity.

Even if there is any conspiracy, we just need to crush it all.

"...Do you need Bronya's help in this operation?"

The silver-haired girl asked.

After all, it was an action closely related to her "mother", and this time, she asked one more question.

If Bronya wants to participate in the operation, the prerequisite is to remove the chip in her head that controls her.

In this regard, it all depends on Higyokumaru's efforts...

"Let's wait a little longer. I'll think about what to do then."

As he spoke, Mingyu yawned again.

There is still a week left, so let’s figure out the details of the operation first.

"You seem very tired today."

Bronya said softly.

Of course, this is something that anyone can see.

"Well... I went to the training room after school and had some good practice. I overdid it a bit."

"Then Bronya won't disturb your rest."

The silver-haired girl stood up and walked to the door.

However, when she opened the door, she happened to see Mei standing in front of the door.

"Sister Meiyi..."

"Bronya? What are you guys talking about in there?"

Mei, who was about to knock on the door, was obviously not expecting to see Bronya and was slightly stunned.

"…Nothing. Bronya was just talking to Mingyu about the new game in the Hom series that's about to be released."

The silver-haired girl made up an excuse to get away with it and made room for Mei.

"Mea Yi~"

"Well...actually I wanted to ask you to go for a night run together."

The purple-haired girl crossed her arms in front of her and spoke softly.

This was something we had agreed on before, that I would accompany her for a night run in the evening.

"Of course I haven't forgotten. Let's go now."

Mingyu nodded and stood up.

"But... Mingyu, you look so tired today, why don't you just forget it?"

Meiyi said worriedly.

She is quite gentle and considerate, so she naturally noticed Mingyu's unusually tired state today.

Although I really want him to accompany me, under the circumstances, I really shouldn't force him.

"No, it's okay. I'll go with you."

Mingyu shook his head and insisted.

He took this opportunity to tell Mei that he was going to rescue Raiden Ryoma.

Mei thought for two seconds and said with a faint smile:

"Okay, but... let's change the night run to a walk."

Chapter 143 The Past and Confession

On the playground at night, the moonlight shines on the vast field like a layer of silver gauze.

The school is filled with the atmosphere of youth, and the laughter of the girls interweaves into a beautiful melody in the air.

Mingyu and Mei were walking here in the evening breeze, strolling side by side.

"Kiana has changed a lot since she came back from Singapore."

Mei said.

The change of the white-haired girl was obvious. Although she didn't know what happened to Kiana during this mission, in her opinion, it was not a bad thing to have some positive changes.

"Well, Xi'er just happened to have a companion."

——At the level of being a poor student.

The two of them chatted about the people around them, from the other three girls they lived with to Aunt Himeko and the principal.

Mingyu and Mei are quite similar in that they both like to care about other people.

However, the focus tonight is not on other people, but on Mei herself.

He suddenly asked:

"By the way, Mei, do you remember what happened before? I mean... before the collapse of Changkong City."

"Of course I remember. Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"Well... because I want to know more about you, Mei."

Mingyu explained with a smile:

"Look, I only know that you were a student at Senba Academy. I don't know much about things before that. I'm a little curious about what you were like in the past, Mei."

From Mei's perspective, this is indeed true.

After all, the young man next to her suddenly appeared in the disaster-hit Changkong City, which was different from classmates like Kiana.

"Well...if you want to know, it's not impossible."

Mei said softly.

Although the experience at that time was not very pleasant, she has become much stronger today and no longer cares so much about what happened in Qianyu Academy.

Moreover, memories of the past are not all painful scenes, there are still fragments worth cherishing.

In order to continue the next topic, they temporarily stopped walking and found a relatively secluded seat to sit down.

"Hmm... where do I start?"

The purple-haired girl pointed a jade finger at her chin, tilted her head slightly to think for a moment, and said with a faint smile:

"Let's start with cooking, Mingyu. You know what? I actually couldn't cook at all in the beginning."

——As the daughter of ME Company, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

As a daughter of a noble family like her, she naturally has had a large number of nannies and housekeepers taking care of her since she was a child.

So, for a long time, she had no cooking skills at all and didn't even know how to cut vegetables.

"Before my father got into trouble, I would bring lunch boxes prepared by my housekeeper to school every day. At that time, my classmates would gather around me and compliment me."

Those days were so glamorous that she lived in praise and envy every day.

But... this is just a facade.

At this point, Mei smiled bitterly and said:

"It was only after a long time that I realized that they didn't really want to be friends with me. They just wanted to use the name of 'friends' to get some benefits from me."

He covets the financial resources and influence of ME Company, and wants to gain benefits for himself by getting close to Mei.

It must be said that as an aristocratic school, the girls there are still quite realistic.

Of course, there are sometimes outliers like a white-haired ball...

"Everything changed after my father got into trouble and went to jail."

The girl recalled.

Cocolia planned a conspiracy, framed Raiden Ryoma with an economic case and arrested him, and ME fell into the hands of this old witch.

The old witch might have only coveted the large amount of funds and resources controlled by Raiden Ryoma, but she also dealt a devastating blow to Mei's life.

From then on, no classmates gathered around Mei anymore. On the contrary, everyone started to keep their distance from her.

Various negative rumors about her began to spread in the class and even throughout the school.

The pampered young lady turned into a helpless Cinderella overnight, which was a fall from heaven to hell.

But life must go on, so Mei began to learn to take care of herself.

I cook my own meals, bring my own lunch to school, and handle everything in my life by myself.

It is said that adversity forces people to grow, and this is true. Her cooking skills also made rapid progress during that period. Perhaps she wanted to escape the heavy reality through this "hobby".

After saying all this, Mei let out a long sigh and said with a smile:

"But those days are over now, because I met you.

"In St. Freya, I met many people who were truly kind to me, whether it was the class monitor, Kiana, Bronya and Seele, or Teacher Theresa and Teacher Jizi... and of course, you, Mingyu."

Life here has healed her past pains, and she no longer cares about the bullying she suffered at Qianyu Academy.

She has also found a new goal in life and is working hard for it.

“It’s good to move on from the past.”

Mingyu said.

A certain Paramecium was so afraid of the past that it sealed its own memory.

In comparison, Mei is indeed quite strong.

"Well...it's just..."

The girl whispered.

However, there is always a regret, or an unsolved mystery, about my past.

Not about herself, but about her father.

"…I don't know where my father is now."

Mei sighed.

——Just as Kiana asked Theresa, her aunt, about the whereabouts of her stinky father Siegfried when she came to the academy, she also asked the principal for help in finding the whereabouts of Raiden Ryoma.

However, she had lost contact with her father for a long time before the collapse, and had no clues about him.

After the outbreak of Honkai, Changkong City became a mess. It was not easy to find Longma's whereabouts in such a chaos.

Theresa agreed to help her investigate the information in this regard, but even with the resources and intelligence network of Tianming in the Far East, there was no way to find Longma's whereabouts.

By now, she had almost given up hope.

The worst case scenario is that my father has had an accident...

Mingyu listened quietly to Mei's words.

The relationship between Cocolia and Mei is indeed one of deep blood feud.

Whether it was destroying your family and taking away all your wealth, or capturing your father and imprisoning him, or creating a tragic disaster and turning you into a "monster" that everyone fears... each one of them alone is enough to make her pay the price in blood.

In the original timeline, Cocolia, the executioner without any conscience, was ultimately sentenced to long-term imprisonment instead of being executed. Mingyu felt this was a bit regrettable.

Such an ending would be unfair to victims like Mei and the countless ordinary people who died in Changkong City.

Blood debt... must be paid with blood.

So, let him change the villain's ending and let her get the fate she deserves.

Such a future is not too far away.

Well, since the topic has come to this, it would be a good opportunity to talk to Mei about the next course of action.

Mingyu thought that the timing was right, so he whispered to Mei:

"Mei, speaking of Uncle Ryoma and Cocolia, I just happen to have something I want to tell you."
