Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Kevin looked around and realized something was wrong. There was no one else. If he failed again this time, he would have a hard time explaining to Alicia!

He was ruthless and changed his tactics, using coercion and inducement directly.

"If you want Kiana to live, you have to come with me."

Mei gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and followed him with the determination to go to hell.

"I will fall into darkness so that you can return to the light..."

The results of it?

The paradise of the past is so beautiful! I don’t even want to go back...

(￣▽￣*)ゞ

When Lin Wei thought of this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead...

(ノへ￣,)

Kevin, Kevin, what do you do?

Lin Wei couldn't help but glance at the gray snake with some sympathy in his eyes.

I don't remember the jackal clearly, but the feathered rabbit, the raven...

It seems like this person is the one who invited everyone into the World Snake...

It's really hard for you to maintain such a large organization by yourself and have a hands-off leader above you!

When Kevin comes back, I will tell him to give you a big medal!

"Does Mr. Lin Wei have any other questions?"

Gray Snake felt Lin Wei's gaze, but he didn't understand the meaning of his strange look, so he asked directly, still in that calm and composed voice.

To be honest, this tone and emphasis does not sound comfortable to Lin Wei.

"fine."

Lin Wei shook her head and stopped teasing Kevin.

These things cannot be told to the people of World Snake. They are all Kevin's die-hard fans. If you tell them, something bad might happen.

"I just want to ask, when can we leave?"

This question was reasonable, and Gray Snake no longer asked Lin Wei if he had anything to hide.

In his opinion, no one can remain calm after meeting the Lord, so it is not surprising that there will be various abrupt behaviors.

"A leaf will only turn yellow if it gets the tree's permission. Just like a wicked person, it is with the tacit consent of the crowd that he goes down the evil path. Haha, only when everything is over, people on their deathbed will sigh with regret: the one who stood up and the one who fell down were actually the same person."

The gray snake did not answer directly, but recited an unknown poem to himself, which made Lin Wei narrow his eyes.

Then the gray snake said,

"Please forgive me, Mr. Lin Wei. This happened suddenly, and the snake needs some time to prepare. But don't worry, it won't waste much of your time. Soon, the raven will take you to that supreme pure land."

"So best."

Lin Wei had no objection and nodded in agreement.

He always remained extremely vigilant against the Gray Snake, but now with Kevin's top instructions, the Gray Snake would not do anything to harm him.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Raven, take care of the guests for me."

The gray snake bowed gracefully, with standard movements like a noble, then walked out of the door with standard steps, holding up an umbrella and slowly left.

Lin Wei looked at his back, thoughtfully.

What is the attitude of this gray snake?

Lin Wei was a little unsure. This attitude was a little too polite. Was it hostility? Or something else?

But at least one thing is certain: Gray Snake will not attack himself before completing Kevin's instructions.

Let's talk about everything after we come out of the paradise of the past.

I can't just deal with each move, I've gotten used to it over time.

It’s not easy to travel through time, Lin Wei sighed...

"Gray Snake..."

Raven was very unhappy with Gray Snake's instructions before he left, but there was nothing he could do.

She glanced at Lin Wei and explained helplessly,

"There are often World Serpent cadres training in the Paradise of the Past. We need to call them all out. After all, this is a matter of great importance to the Herrscher. This will take some time, but it should be completed in two or three days at most. It won't take much time."

The World Snake really values ​​time. Lin Wei once again couldn't help but despise the efficiency of Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

Look at others, then look at you!

"You can stay here for the time being. I'll prepare a guest room for you later. It's urgent, so don't mind."

"Thank you. I am the one causing you trouble. How can you dislike it? I am already satisfied to have a place to sleep peacefully."

People who have experienced life and death are often more easily contented.

Lin Wei turned and smiled at Raven, then stretched out a hand and repeatedly admired her clean arm.

Hair, pores, blood vessels...

There were no purple-red lines of Honkai energy, and they were so clean that it seemed as if they had never existed.

Lin Wei had never realized before that these ordinary things on her body could be so beautiful.

It’s a feeling of peace of mind and security.

"...I was just being polite, why are you being so polite?"

Raven is at a loss. Hasn't this guy always been sharp-tongued? Why has he suddenly become so soft?

"If someone respects me, I will give him back. We should communicate on an equal footing and not make things difficult for each other. Isn't this what I should do?"

Lin Wei smiled gently, put away his self-admiring arms, and tried not to embarrass the other party.

He didn't know when he developed this habit, but Lin Wei felt that the world shouldn't be so cold, so he first learned to be gentle.

Moreover, doing so can reduce a lot of communication costs for yourself.

"..."

Raven is a bit tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and doesn't know how to respond to this kind of talk.

The other person has a good attitude, so I can't just start to argue with him, otherwise I would be embarrassed.

Lin Wei didn't mind. He turned his head left and right to look at the environment of the bar, then turned his head to look at the open door behind him, and then looked at Raven standing behind the bar with a strange expression.

The place I'm sitting now won't be the place Mei will sit in the future, right?

That's an honor.

"what happened?"

The raven finally found an opportunity to say something meaningless.

"It's okay, it's just a little strange. I remember the bar was closed during the day."

Lin Wei gestured with her eyes to the wine glasses that she had just wiped spotlessly clean, as well as the various cocktail shakers that had been prepared.

"Oh, these? Well, we have to find something to do instead of just standing there, right?"

"makes sense."

Lin Wei smiled, his goal was achieved.

No matter how meaningless the topic is, as long as you say a few simple words to each other, the atmosphere will not be awkward.

Raven is not stupid and knows what Lin Wei means.

"Have a drink? It's my treat."

Then he looked at Lin Wei,

"You should be of age, right?"

"Yes, I am an adult. If I were not an adult, what would you do with me? A glass of milk or a glass of juice?"

Lin Wei tried to start a joke.

"That's a good idea. If you want, I can give you a glass of milk and send you off."

"Haha, I don't mind because I don't usually drink."

Lin Wei was telling the truth. He hated drinking. On the one hand, it was because he rejected his alcoholic father. On the other hand, he didn't want to numb his own nerves.

He preferred the feeling of being awake.

"But if I'm with friends, I don't mind having a drink."

"Friend? Forget it. I don't deserve it."

Raven glanced at him and rejected him outright.

"It doesn't matter. At least I don't think you are someone who would do anything bad to me. That's enough."

Lin Wei moved closer to the bar, put the knife that was originally placed there aside, and said without any courtesy,

"What do you want me to drink? It's up to you."

Raven looked at him without saying anything, then made him a mojito, adding mint and lemon.

A few minutes later, Raven was so angry that he was jumping up and down when he saw Lin Wei slumped on the bar.

Is one glass okay?

"You can't pretend to be a hero with such a low alcohol tolerance!"

Raven seriously suspected that she was being blackmailed and was shaking with anger. She was sure that there was nothing wrong with her materials.

After a while, the calmed Raven looked at Lin Wei with a complicated expression.

She realized that Lin Wei had not lied to her and had really never drunk alcohol before.

I really owe you that.

Raven sighed, picked up his arm and walked upstairs to the lounge.

……

St. Freya Academy, outside the infirmary.

Mei stood outside the diagnosis room door, head down and said nothing.

After she heard that this was a survivor rescued from Changkong City, she has been guarding here without leaving.

In her heart, she is the Herrscher, and all the disasters in Changkong City are caused by her.

She is atoning for her sins...

"Mei, come and take a look at the new hairstyle I've come up with. What do you think of it?"

Kiana, who had been guarding here with Mei, heard that the rescued survivor was her former classmate. Seeing Mei's depressed look, she rolled her eyes and left quietly.

Mei would never refuse Kiana, so even though she was in a bad mood, she still looked up at Kiana.

I saw Kiana had tied her beautiful Roman curls, which were originally simply tied up, into two bulky pigtails, and was showing off to me excitedly.

"So stupid..."

Mei forced an ugly smile and accepted Kiana's kindness.

She was trying to amuse herself.

"Hehe, since Mei likes it, I will keep this hairstyle from now on!"

As long as Mei likes it, Kiana doesn't mind playing the fool all the time.

"This idiot..."

Mei's heart felt warm, and the sadness and self-blame that had been suppressed into ice melted into tears that burst out. She hugged the white-haired girl in front of her who was a head shorter than her and cried.

Kiana stroked Mei's back and gently soothed her sad heart.

"Be good, don't be afraid, Mei. I'm here, I will always be by your side, I will always, always protect you, until forever..."

"Ok!"
