I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

“As long as we can end the performance in the most beautiful way at the most appropriate time, then the performance will be perfect.”

Eden spread out her palms, and bright light flowed out from them, gradually gathering into a crystal flower of two different colors, one gold and one purple.

"Four crystal flowers, four keys... guarding the same past together."

Mei also stretched out her hand, the flower on her palm was a mixture of black and blue, exactly the same as the one in Eden's hand.

"Alisa's last party...right?" Mei confirmed.

"These four tokens come from four people who witnessed the banquet. They were also the four people who saw her leave this world that night."

As Eden described, there was a look in his eyes as if everything happened just yesterday.

[I always feel like... the big one is coming]

[After laying the groundwork for so long, I don’t know what it will be like]

[I'll prepare enough toilet paper this time]

My asthma medicine is also ready.

“It’s time to bring everything back to light.”

Eden held Mei's hand, and the light of the crystal flowers intertwined, weaving the most precious memories of the singer at the end of the era.

"Ms. Mei, please bring Ai Li... and our hope back to this world."

When Mei finally woke up from the hazy past, what she saw was the image of Eden leaning on the sofa, holding a golden cup.

Fragments of light dissipated from her body and merged into the light of memories in the memory space.

Everything seemed to be exactly the same as when they first met in Paradise, but... this was the end.

"Eden…can I…ask you one last question?"

"Of course, Miss Mei, the rest of my life... they all belong to you."

"How did Alicia... become the thirteenth Herrscher? And how did she get the broken Fire Moth back on track?"

After all, voluntarily becoming a Herrscher is something that is unheard of, and it has never been a choice.

"There are indeed many unreasonable aspects to this statement, because it is just a way to explain to others and future generations why Ellie left."

Eden smiled and explained:

"And there is only one answer that can transform all the unreasonable things into reasonable ones... and that is the truth you have been searching for."

Hearing this, Mei suddenly realized, and all the things that happened in the past came to her mind.

Those casual conversations and fragmented memories have already revealed the answer.

[It’s broken. I didn’t read the previous fragmented narrative.]

[Honkai Impact 3 will punish everyone who doesn’t pay attention to the plot]

[I remember there was a paragraph about Alysia’s origin]

[She said she was very strange even when she was in her hometown]

"I remember... Kiana said before..."

Compared to the clues obtained by the players, the girls in the studio learned more.

"There is no thirteenth Herrscher. The Herrscher of the End comes after the twelfth Herrscher."

"Could it be that……"

Mei in the game told everyone the answer.

"So... Alicia... she was never the Thirteenth Herrscher, right?"

"Well, thirteen is a false number. The second Fire Chaser, Alicia, the inscription of the 'true self'..."

Eden nodded and revealed the whole truth:

"This girl who loves everyone deeply...she was born to be a Herrscher."

[She is a natural born Herrscher]

[Can there still be such an existence?]

[I've never heard of a natural Herrscher]

Not to mention the spectators, there were four former Herrschers sitting in the studio.

Even they had never heard of the existence of natural Herrschers.

"No wonder Kevin was so miserable, no wonder Mebius called her a traitor, no wonder she was so happy about my existence."

Surprise, excitement, sadness...complex emotions intertwined and piled up, pouring out from Mei's heart and then reflected in her voice.

703. Ai Li Happy House

"If all this is true, then the 'real me' behind her smile... how lonely and sad it must be."

When Mei performed this part, it was obvious that she was expressing her true feelings, and Kiana could also understand the mood behind it.

After realizing that they had become Herrschers, they knew better than anyone the pain of daily collapse.

Mei buried her head and cried in the classroom, and Kiana was trembling on the street.

Fear of hurting others, fear of being hurt by others, this kind of fear is like an lingering nightmare, and I can no longer feel anything except pain.

Where's the lovely Lisia?

As a herald living among human groups, such fear and loneliness are naturally unavoidable.

The words that Alicia once said to Mei:

"Maybe I really told a big lie, the only lie in my life. After all, I am afraid too."

Is the best proof.

But she kept smiling, hiding all her loneliness and sadness with her beautiful and flawless true self.

[But Mei and Kiana are both accompanied by Ye Ming]

[It would be great if Ye Bao could also bring healing to Alicia]

[It will definitely work. Isn’t Ye Ming already in Paradise?]

[But I don’t dare to be optimistic anymore, because I get slapped in the face every time]

"If it were Ellie, she would definitely say that..."

Seeing Mei's thoughts, Eden explained calmly:

"This is not sadness, but joy. I am happy for having had some happiness in the past, and I look forward to miracles in the future."

"Look, Mei... this is the miracle I was waiting for, isn't it?"

"As for loneliness," Eden smiled, "Ellie is indeed a girl who is afraid of loneliness. She is like a crystal flower, beautiful and flawless, but also very fragile."

Hearing that Alicia was afraid of loneliness, and remembering her joy when she met Mei, the girls in the studio couldn't help but laugh.

"It's a pity that Alicia can't come to us. With so many Herrschers here, she would definitely be very happy."

When Ji Zi expressed her feelings, there was a certain amount of self-mockery in her tone.

After all, I give lectures every day on how to deal with Herrschers, but all the students sitting here are Herrschers.

"At least Saint Freya can stop being called the Far East Demon Cave and change it to Aili Happy House, which sounds better."

"It's almost the same now, haven't you noticed that Alicia is always very happy every time she comes?"

"I'm afraid the one who makes her happy is no longer her fellow Herrschers, but Ye Ming, right?"

Having said that, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Ming again.

"Is it true or not? How come I don't know?"

Ye Ming said very innocently:

"Does Alicia have any special feelings for me?"

It’s not Ye Ming’s fault that he is slow. Although Alicia treats him very intimately, he treats other beautiful girls basically the same way.

"The way she looks at you is completely different from the way she looks at us."

This is the unique observation ability of girls in love.

"But there has to be a reason, right?"

"Didn't anything happen between you and Alicia in the paradise of the past?" Aci asked.

"My memories of the paradise are a bit vague. I don't even remember Alicia existing."

As soon as Ye Ming finished speaking, everyone else showed expressions of astonishment, only Meiyi seemed relatively calm.

"This matter...Ye Ming told me about it when Alicia first came to play with us."

Although she was calm, Mei also seemed very confused.

"To be honest, this conflicts with my memory as well."

"Although all memories not related to Ye Ming are very vague to me, Alicia did leave an impression on me."

"Especially after reading the script she wrote, I had a very strong sense of déjà vu once before, so it shouldn't be made up."

Ye Ming understood what Mei Yi meant, and speculated:

"In other words, it is very likely that Alysia really existed in the Paradise of the Past before the world was reconstructed... or even that she is the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire?"

Mei nodded and added, "Maybe this word is too conservative. I think it's pretty close."

“……” Ye Ming was silent, and his expression became serious.

If all the coincidences happen at the same time, then it is definitely not a coincidence. This is what Ye Ming has always believed in.

The Thirteen Heroes only remembered twelve of them. After Alysia revised the script, her memories of the paradise in the past became increasingly vague...

There is no doubt that Alicia is the thirteenth one, and since she is the core figure of the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes, he must have met her when he was in Paradise.

"Why would I forget? And Alicia never mentioned this to me."

"Maybe it's because Alicia didn't know that you had forgotten her, so she didn't say much?" Ying speculated.

"Maybe so, but how could I forget someone as brilliant as Alicia?"

"Indeed," Bronya nodded, "Even for the stupid Kiana, it would be hard to forget."

Ye Ming has realized that the memory of Alicia is the core of the problem. If he can figure out the cause and effect of this matter, he will be able to figure out everything.

"System, aren't you going to say a few words?"

——I’m sorry, I’m not sure about this either.

"You definitely know, you just don't want to say it."

——Well, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, but the time is not right yet, and…

——It cannot be explained in a few words. It will take a very long time to explain.

"How did I become like Mei in the paradise of the past? You left puzzles everywhere for me, and then told me that the time was not right yet and asked me to explore."

——Is it possible that Alicia also thought of you when she was writing this script?

"Okay, okay, since you can't tell the truth now, don't add to the mystery for me."

——When the time is right, everything will fall into place, please believe me.

"As early as when we were filming the Fire of Eternal Flame, I already realized that you were hiding something from me."

"If I didn't believe you, I should have conducted a comprehensive investigation on you at that time."

——No wonder everyone says that they feel safe when you are around.

The sound of the system was very small and did not reach Ye Ming's auditory nerves.

"Did you just say something?"

——No, nothing, just want to have the Nth day of entity.
