Honkai Q&A, The Opening Game Against Kevin

Raiden Mei returned here again.

She stopped here quietly, as if paying homage to some kind of existence.

——It is also reorganizing my mind.

The unvisited station maintains eternal tranquility, as if all the previous expectations and disappointments, calculations and struggles... never happened.

In this station where time has never flowed, a wonderful force is quietly sprouting.

【……"

Leiden Mei took a deep breath, then looked down at the pocket watch in the palm of her hand: "Aren't you going to say anything anymore... Weierwei."

As a matter of course, there was no response.

Or... no response required.

In the air or 'ether', there is a faint fragrance of flowers coming from it.

"...It's a tulip."]

"Hey hey hey~ I'm responding to you~!"

Viale Conductor waved his hand in the question-and-answer space: "Mei~ Can you hear me?"

. Wei Wei, what are you doing. "

Mei, who was also in the question-and-answer space and in the Paradise of the Past, stared blankly at Wei Wei with a bewildered expression.

"Mei wants to hear my voice, so I will give her a response~"

Wei Wei shrugged: "It's a pity that Mei on the screen can't hear it.

These words immediately left Mei speechless, and stared at her blankly.

Silence is the paradise of the past tonight.

"But tulips or something..."

Patuo rubbed her chin: "Why are there tulips in this space? Besides, Sister Mei didn't smell this fragrance before, right?"

"Ah! Take a look!"

At this moment, Alicia suddenly reached out and pointed at the screen: "That is...!"

Everyone looked up one after another, and found that a huge ray suddenly appeared right in front of the station, making a buzzing sound as if calling for Mei.

"This, isn't this the companion beast that Alicia had when she became the Herrscher!"

Mei immediately discovered the real body of the manta ray: "Could it be that...Alicia is really...back!"

Alicia urged Mei on the screen, looking forward to it: "Changing Mei-go and see!"

No need for Alicia to say anything, Mei Lei on the screen immediately drove her footsteps to the place where the ray appeared, and at the same time, everything around her was gradually fading away.

It seems that everything has come to the end of time and space.

In the middle of nowhere, "Ten voices sounded

【"That happened in the original story."

"In the vast universe, human civilization has an intersection with some unknown existence.

"Heterogeneous hugs bring pain to human beings...."

"And human beings also respond to each other with their own 'nature'."

"After countless reincarnations, a new consciousness is born."

"Possessing human qualities, understanding human emotions, and yearning for the beauty of human beings——she was born in the world with the attitude of imitating human beings, and finally became a real human being."

"Like a dream, like a fairy tale, like fate."

"She is called the original origin, beyond good and evil - the herrscher of origin."]

The picture suddenly became pitch black, and then light slowly poured in

【"Here... is the 'real back door'?"

After a familiar feeling of dizziness, Mei found herself in a strange space. She looked around and frowned slightly: "No, this feels like...my own knot in my heart." 】

Leiden Mei moved forward, towards the gate that existed in front.

However, as she was moving forward, the scene of her fighting the raven flashed before her eyes in an instant.

And when she finally stands in front of the door, the scene also cuts to the moment when she defeats the raven.

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded, accompanied by the silhouette of a raven appearing in front of her——

【"Are you ready to cut and retreat, Swordsman of Thunder?"

The turning point of "Fate Road" said: "The enemy you are about to face, his consciousness is far better than yours, and his obsession spans thousands of years. You have the same ideals, but you are destined to be unable to walk together

"You will challenge his will, bury his mission, and put an end to his existence."

-----are you ready?"

.……certainly. "

"...

Raiden Mei said firmly: "I once took up arms to protect a person, and because of this, I parted ways with her.

"I have confronted many people with swords, and the positions, reasons, and moods are completely different every time."

"But one thing never changed—"

Mei spoke slowly, with a determined expression: "Because the other party's will is as unshakable as mine, I must go all out.

"I will bear all the possibilities that have been cut off by me, those unfulfilled ideals, and vanished wishes."

"I will bear... all respectable will."

"...17.

That voice seemed to agree with Raiden Mei's belief: "In the face of this contradiction from 'others', you already have the courage to put on the shackles."

With the disappearance of the sound, Leiden Mei seemed to hear the sound of the chains colliding, and then she felt her body became heavier.

But she was not discouraged, she gritted her teeth and stood up straight, "Go ahead——

"Come on, I can carry more!"]

"Is this........Mei is breaking up with her own knot?"

Alicia stared at the heavy footsteps of Mei on the screen in surprise: "Mei, come on!"

Kiyana also supported Mei: "Come on, Mei!"

Carol also shouted together: "Captain, come on!"

Timido: "Captain Mei, come on!"

I saw Leiden Mei in the picture continue to move forward with heavy steps, after crossing the first door, in front of the second door, she saw another self.

Mei was startled: "Hey! This is...another me?"

Xi'er blinked: ".....the lines are so familiar."

Hei Xier nodded: "It's really familiar."

Bronya coughed lightly: "Xie'er, shouldn't the lines you are familiar with be—please, another me...?"

Fu Hua explained: "This should not be the personality of the Herrscher, but an illusion born of Mei's heart knot."

Sure enough, as Raiden Mei moved forward, the [Raiden Mei] who was standing opposite her also started to walk towards her, and just when the two were about to face each other, she suddenly transformed into Mei's weapon again.

Mei looked down at the weapon and pulled it out.

At the same time, the familiar voice came again, accompanied by the silhouette of Leiden Mei——

【"Are you ready to abandon your true heart, Human Herrscher?"

The loop of "cause and effect" slowly tells: "Your heart longs for peace and tranquility, but fate gives you endless struggle. The more you move forward, the deeper you will go into the storm."

"Look, the end of the one you desperately wanted to protect is near at hand, and you may even crown her end with your own hands."

------are you ready?"

certainly. "

"

As always, Leiden Mei's voice was firm and decisive. She closed her eyes, as if recalling the past.

"Peace and tranquility, that is indeed my wish, until now, I often dream of Qianyu Academy, dreaming of the time of Saint Freya.

"But nothing in this world is taken for granted. Regardless of the era, people are carrying the same weight forward."

Mei opened her eyes with a firm expression: "This is not abandonment or betrayal, but a dream shared by me and her. In order to move towards the tomorrow we have chosen [we will do our best.

"If there were a 'final crown'... it wouldn't just fall on one head."

".....…very good."

There was a hint of a smile in that voice: "In the face of this contradiction from your own body, you already have the determination to hold the shackles tightly.

As the voice fell, Mei once again felt the voice like a shackle, and the heavier body.

"It's this feeling again..."

Mei gasped lightly: "Am I... against my will?"

"——09,8!")

"Mei, hold on!"

Everyone in the Q&A space also looked anxiously for Mei, and subconsciously clenched their fists to cheer her on.

"Sister Mei, I believe you will be able to hold on!"

Patuo encouraged Mei loudly, even though she knew she couldn't hear her in a different dimension, she still spared no effort.

"Hmph, Leiden Mei, you are the one who has inherited all of Yingjie's engravings, so don't let me fall down here.

It was rare for Mebius to encourage Mei: "Otherwise, I will be angry.

Mei was startled, but she remembered that she was still in the Paradise of the Past: "I...I will work hard!"

In the picture, Leiden Mei continued to move forward.

And when she crossed the second door again and came to the third door, what appeared in front of her was a group of gray snakes.

They seemed to be blocking Mei's progress, but they disappeared like a cloud when she was about to touch their bodies.

In the end, all that remained was the suitcase and the open umbrella.

At the same time, the silhouette of the gray snake also appeared in front of Mei—

【"Are you ready to judge the world, descendant of Siyuan?"

The echo of "this world" questioned Mei: "This world does not belong to human beings. Inorganic and organic matter share this land together——————The next generation of human beings, mechanical or stigmata, And Homo sapiens are also equal to each other.

"You are not qualified to judge rashly on your own. That is nothing more than an egotistical accusation, terrible arrogance."

"Even so—are you ready?"

Mei closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he opened his eyes again and looked directly at the gray snake silhouette in front of him: "No one can judge the so-called qualifications... none of us can. The stigmata are also not qualified to destroy human beings themselves.

"I'm just defending what we can't lose as a human being."

"For the continuation of the ideal in my heart, I can do whatever it takes. This is the arrogance and pride of human beings."

"..." In this case, let the arrogance and pride continue together. A hundred flowers bloom, good and evil coexist, that is the original appearance of human nature.

Mei touched her chest with her hands, with a determined expression: "—It is also the original appearance of the world."

"Even if it hurts?"

"Even if it hurts."

—————Your admission is without deceit, very good.

That voice recognized Mei: "Facing this contradiction from the 'world', you have been able to turn the shackles into a crown."]

In the picture, Mei's steps are getting heavier and heavier, but she still continues to move forward. She thinks of Alicia and Kiyana, and gradually she feels that her body is no longer heavy, but becomes lighter——

【... I seem to suddenly understand why you always say that you love everyone. "

Mei recalled the bits and pieces of the past with Alicia: ———I just like this kind of people and this kind of world.

She let out a low laugh, and the steps under her feet were unknown

Unknowingly, it also became lighter.

"—I dreamed of a star, an island of light, in the depths of whose light leisure I shall be born."

——————— There, my life will complete its business, like the rice fields under the autumn sun. "

"Alicia... I finally understand how you feel.

Mei said softly: "This world is so beautiful, it is full of vigor and vitality, love and hope, and people want to protect it."

"This world is so cruel. It breeds contradictions and incubates evil...so that all good things have to be fought forever."

Mei's footsteps became lighter and faster, as if the shackles that had been draped on her before had vanished into nothingness.

"But this is freedom - shouldering heavy responsibilities but being able to do whatever one wants, saving all sentient beings and still being innocent."]

"Wow~ Mei said it so well!"

Alicia happily clapped her hands: "As expected of my good Mei~!"

"Mei Mei! Look! Your steps have become lighter!"

Qiyana pointed to Mei who gradually changed from walking slowly (by Li De) to brisk jogging on the screen: "Sure enough, it's because Mei has really untied the knot in her heart."

?"

"Perhaps."

Mei stared at herself on the screen, and she continued to move forward, without the slightest hesitation and confusion in her eyes and footsteps.

And the lightning Mei on the screen is also getting faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the end point——

【"If you don't have an angel, you become an angel; if you don't have a paradise, you create a paradise."

"There won't be another you in this world—but it doesn't matter."

"Because...everyone will be 'you'

As if responding to Mei's words, another Mei suddenly appeared in this empty space, that was Mei when she just entered St. Freya Academy [symbolizing her

"We want to protect the world because someone gave everything for what she loved."

Another 'Mei' appeared from Mei's side, that was the time when she was separated from Kiana after she experienced the Battle of Destiny——

"We want to protect this world because we meet important people here, laugh here, and fight because of it.

Mei also spoke slowly: "We want to protect this world, because this is the place where we exist, the only irreplaceable home.

"We can understand, we can understand. At this time, we are closer to 'Siyuan' than ever before, closer to..."

In the end, the three Raiden Mei merged into one and became the complete Herrscher of Thunder: [Alicia Factory. "

"so....…."

Mei stopped slowly, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes, raised her head, opened her arms and shouted——

"——Respond to me, Alicia! (broken sound)】

PS: One thing to say, we think this broken sound must be marked, because it is very important!

Very critical!.
