Poor Raiden Mei Is About to Fall Apart

Unsurprisingly, a petite figure in the front row sneezed.

Sitting a few rows in front of Kevin and his group, Aponia was with three little ones from the nursing home.

"Flight attendant, are you really in this movie?" Lyle asked with envy.

"That's right, I've already participated in voice acting work." Kong Xiao's face was full of pride.

"I wonder when I'll finally get to appear on the big screen in the Honkai series?" Adam sighed.

Seeing this, Ling, who was about the same age as them, looked at them with pity and thought to herself: They don't know how tragic it is to be on the Honkai series. How pitiful.

"Little Void, have you already been written into the Honkai series?" Pardo asked in surprise.

"Yes, Pardo- neechan~" Little Void looked very happy. "My storyline is related to Mei and Raven- mama."

The Raven, which had been trying to keep its presence inconspicuous, was suddenly called out.

"Yes, that's right."

The Raven had no idea what it was about to experience.

"So handsome!"

Boys like Lyle and Adam are at the age where they yearn for the ideal of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), especially when they think of Raven's cool and domineering figure holding a sniper rifle in the Honkai series, which makes them feel even cooler.

Little did the boys know that the cold and domineering aura they had longed for was about to vanish into thin air.

The movie has started.

At the very beginning of the movie, right after the end of the previous film, Kiana's figure has appeared in the scope, but Raven does not pull the trigger because Gray Serpent relays Kevin's order.

Inside the strange golden sphere, the leader of the World Serpent and the bishop of Schicksal are conversing, and Raven is deeply puzzled by Kevin's decision to cooperate with Schicksal.

The Gray Serpent used Otto's self-interest and Kevin's bargaining chips to tell the Raven that this deal would definitely succeed, and there would be no more Schicksal in the snake's path forward.

Raven was still somewhat worried, but she saw the golden sphere slowly dissolving.

The Gray Serpent was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Hahahaha—

"Raven, put away your weapons—"

"Just now, the Lord's transaction... was completed."

The movie opens with a bombshell.

Once the World Serpent and Schicksal choose to cooperate.

Otto's schemes combined with Kevin's fighting prowess.

What can Kiana and the others use to resist?

"Kevin is going to carry out that inhumane plan. Instead of stopping the Honkai -ridden organization that protects humanity, he chooses to cooperate with it," Mobius sneered.

"I actually admire him quite a bit," Kevin said.

"Who?" Mei asked, her voice tinged with surprise.

"Otto." Kevin ate the bitter melon-flavored popcorn he had bought with a pained expression. "I even fought all the way to his doorstep, which was like slapping Schicksal in the face, and she could still smile and talk to me about cooperation."

Mei sighed. "Kevin, you shouldn't admire people like that. You should stay away from people like that."

At this moment, the audience was extremely curious about what Otto and Kevin had talked about.

Given Kevin's obsessive state, what could Otto possibly gain from him? Or what could Otto possibly offer him?

What about Anti-Entropy?

Kosma suddenly said something.

This served as a reminder to everyone.

Right, what about Anti-Entropy?

There are only three major organizations fighting against the Honkai. After Schicksal and World Serpent cooperated, Anti-Entropy, which was excluded, is very likely to be the first to be eliminated.

"At present, Anti-Entropy's top combat power is severely insufficient. In the past, it could be said that the Herrscher who fought for humanity were the representatives. Now, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya, which one of them is not Herrscher who fights for humanity?"

"Vill-V analyzed it rationally," said the analyst.

"Uh, Sister Vill-V, I didn't understand." Pardo weakly raised her hand.

Vill-V.

Pardo suddenly felt insulted.

"Hey-hey."

The Little Knowledge fly rubs its hands.

She wasn't interested in the earlier parts of the story; she only wanted to see the final "Sinners Elegy."

Chapter 248 Raiden Mei, she's almost broken.

The camera focuses on Mei and Tesla, who hasn't appeared in a long time.

From their conversation, Tesla comforted Mei and encouraged her to talk about her feelings.

Mei fell silent, her movements of organizing documents paused for a moment, and she began to recount how she knew Kiana and the changes that had occurred since.

Kiana was originally lively, cheerful and boisterous, became extremely well-behaved, so well-behaved that Mei felt that this was not her.

Mei's voice was very low.

"How much must a person go through, how much pain must they endure, for such a big change to occur?... Anything can happen in four months."

"At this very moment, she must still be wandering somewhere, enduring trauma that most people could hardly bear..."

"I just want to find her as soon as possible..."

Mei's voice acting on screen is the result of her Mei, conveying her worry for Kiana, her fear of Kiana's transformation into a stranger, and the sense of helplessness in her voice, leaving the audience with complex emotions.

Inside the screening room.

Seeing this scene, in stark contrast to the earlier collaboration between World Serpent and Schicksal, did not spark heated discussion. Instead, it was met with silence.

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Tesla offered a word of comfort, then left under the pretext of going to the intelligence room, leaving Mei alone for a while.

After Tesla left, Mei kept tidying up the scattered documents, but all she could think about was Kiana.

She couldn't imagine what Kiana had gone through in those four months, what she had witnessed, or whether she would blame herself for everything and choose to bear all the responsibility.

Mei's body trembled uncontrollably, and the pain in her chest became increasingly unbearable.

"I... can't go back, Mei."

At Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, Kiana's rejection echoed in her mind like a curse; she dared not think about it anymore, yet she had no choice but to.

Just as Mei was lost in her own world, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Tesla excitedly told her that he had found Kiana's trail.

"This monologue is absolutely brilliant!"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise.

Movies aren't about wandering knights, so there's very little narration. This inner thought is conveyed to the audience through Mei's voice acting, acting as her inner voice.

Mei's portrayal of the complex emotions—helplessness, pain, fear, regret, and more—is so vivid that it instantly draws the audience in and breaks their hearts.

I really want to hug her~

Elysia looked at Mei on the screen with heartache.

Upon hearing this, Ni Eden simply gently tidied Elysia's slightly messy bangs.

How did you do that?

Yaqing and Kevin exchanged a glance.

They could see surprise and a sense of entitlement in each other's eyes.

Seeing this scene, they would always feel that it was only natural, but it was precisely because it was natural that they were surprised. Su once said that love is a tomb and they would be evil spirits.

Now, the two evil spirits want to seek guidance from Elysia, the pastor.

[The scene shifts to a warship, where Mei looks through the glass at the city submerged by seawater and involuntarily reaches out her hand. She doesn't understand why Kiana would return to Changkong City.]

As the Helios landed, Tesla set up a makeshift array of detectors to search for Kiana's whereabouts.

No one could imagine that this city ruin, now submerged by seawater, was once a bustling metropolis with a population of over 3 million, all because of the Third Honkai Eruption.

Mei, who was also a victim of the Third Honkai Eruption but became the Third Herrscher, felt a pang of guilt.

"I became Herrscher three years ago. I sometimes think, if I hadn't been so weak back then, if I hadn't succumbed to the Honkai, would all of this have happened?"

"I know there are no 'what ifs' in this world, but... I hope that when I face every choice in the future, I can remember this disaster."

"Mei..."

Kiana looked at the woman in the clothes, took her hand, and said earnestly, "None of this is your fault. Neither becoming Herrscher nor the destruction caused by the Honkai is your fault. This is Coco..."

Kiana was speaking when she realized something was wrong. She glanced at the back row and was surprised to find that Bronya was not distinguished from the others, only Seele and Arlene were.

"Hey! Where's Bronya?"

Seele replied, "Sister Bronya just joined the studio and finalized the project. She's quite busy and doesn't have time to come see the movie."

"Bronya's having a tough time too," Kiana sighed.

"Hmph." A cold snort suddenly came from the seat next to her in the back row. Sirin said irritably, "Do you think everyone is like you, just a lazy job in the company?"

"You stinky Sirin!"

Kiana was very angry, but Mei comforted her.

"Alright, Kiana." Mei tapped Kiana's forehead. "It's good that you think this way. In the story, you blamed yourself for everything, but it wasn't really your fault, was it?"

"Mei ~"

Kiana acts cute.

Back row.

Kalpas looked at Mei blaming herself on the screen and snorted coldly, "In the end, it's still because you're not strong enough. You're chasing after things all over the world like a headless fly."

"If she really wanted to protect someone, she should have taken back the Herrscher Core and used her own strength to protect that person, instead of crying and wailing like in the last movie."

"Oh dear, Kalpas, don't be so harsh on girls."

Elysia said.

"Sister Elysia, I think Brother Jie has a point." Pardo weakly raised her hand. "If Mei doesn't have the strength, World Serpent and Schicksal definitely won't let Kiana go. At that time..."

Pardo didn't finish her sentence.

But everyone could understand what she meant.

Both Kalpas and Pardo have a point.

Kevin nodded in agreement.

"So, Kevin's here," Yaqing suddenly said.

Kevin was still not quite there and was nodding.

"Um?"

Kevin, realizing what had happened, looked at Yaqing with a bewildered expression.

Yaqing's words brought everyone back to the post-credits scene from the previous movie.

That single word, "you," caused Mei's smiling face to gradually lose its smile until it disappeared completely.

After Kevin noticed, he glared at Yaqing fiercely.

Tesla assembled the machinery, expecting it to take some time, but unexpectedly, it directly filtered out the Herrscher's energy.

Although it was very faint, it was indeed Herrscher energy reaction, and it was actually detected from Mei.

Tesla explained that although the Gem of Conquest was gone, Mei still retained a faint amount of Herrscher energy within her. However, Mei couldn't use this energy at will, and Tesla didn't recommend using it.
