Aponia's First Appearance. (Continued)
The more I watch, the more I feel that she has embarked on the path of a comedian in this chapter, taking on the role of the comedic character.
"Well."
Life is tough, Raven sigh.
Back in the hall, Raven told Mei about her experience. From the moment she entered that place, she had inexplicably assumed it was a prison, even though there was nothing there but pitch black.
When Mei heard Raven mention the mysterious woman, she immediately seemed to grasp the key point and quickly asked questions.
Raven only remembered that before she lost consciousness, Aponia seemed to have said something to her and given her a pendant, but now she couldn't find the pendant anywhere.
Mei, however, said there was no need to rush. They had just met a friend who was good at finding things, but before that, she needed to get more clues.
"Oh, look who's here... [Miss Mei who beat Mei to the ground], should I call you that now, my cute little guinea pig?"
When Mobius saw Mei again, he immediately became sarcastic and sarcastic.
Mei, of course, wouldn't tolerate someone who once tried to take over her body.
"Mobius ...it's rare to see you like this; it feels like it's been ages since I last saw you."
"Hmm, I've been quite busy lately, and I've been neglecting you without realizing it~"
Mobius's voice was full of provocation, like a venomous snake luring someone into her carefully prepared trap.
"But... don't worry~, my cute little guinea pig. Even if I don't come to see you anymore, you'll always be my favorite~"
Mei suspects that the anomalies in the Elysian Realm are related to Mobius, but Mobius does not admit it. Instead, he looks at Mei's puzzled expression and laughs, realizing that she has not contacted him yet.
Mobius giggled, indicating that she wouldn't tell Mei anything. If her trick was exposed before the performance even started, the magician would come after her, and she didn't want to start another argument over something so trivial.
"The magician? It must be Vill-V. I didn't expect even she would have her eye on Mei."
Mention the magician, and everyone in the courtyard can guess who it is without even hearing his name.
When viewers in the live stream heard Elysia's words, they were reminded of Vill-V from the promotional PV, whose special after-camera shot left a deep impression on them.
"They're all villains!"
Kevin sighed.
It is now confirmed that Aponia has her eye on Mei, Vill-V is also suspected of having her eye on her. Pardo's excessive enthusiasm is alarming, including the painting of Mei bound in chains in Griseo's promotional PV.
It seems that only Kosma hasn't shown any suspicious signs.
But that only makes things more suspicious.
"Oh, Mobius, I never knew Mei was your favorite character!"
Elysia joked.
In terms of relationships, Mobius is Yaqing's lover, Mei is Kiana's girlfriend, and Kiana and Yaqing are uncle and niece.
Is what Mobius did considered chaotic...?
"Elysia, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth."
Mobius glanced at Elysia, then glared fiercely at Yaqing.
She had barely spoken to Mei in real life, yet her boyfriend had written it like this in his script. Kiana was bound to throw a tantrum when she saw it.
Mobius even suspected that Yaqing was trying to sow discord between her and Xiao Kiana.
"Speaking of which, you stole that pendant, didn't you Pardo? That's exactly the kind of thing you'd do."
Eden said with a smile.
"Hehe, Eden, no need to praise me."
Pardo scratched the back of her head, looking shy.
Eden smiled but said nothing more.
China beat China.
"Huh?!"
Kiana couldn't hold back her emotions when she saw Mobius tell Mei, "You'll always be my favorite."
She couldn't tell whether this was her aunt's thoughtful gesture or her uncle's deliberate act.
"Mei, what are you saying about this..."
Mei's expression was strange.
"Kiana, I think Mobius said that on purpose, or rather, what she said didn't match what she really thought."
Mei didn't believe that Mobius would be interested in her; it was more likely that he was after her Herrscher body.
"Alright, Kiana, you don't need to worry so much. Snakey is with your uncle now, how could he possibly lay a hand on your Mei?"
Kallen said with a grin.
Mei blushed immediately.
Hehehe.
Kiana smiled knowingly when she heard the words "Your Mei".
"Magician... Mei really has had a lot of bad luck."
Cecilia was both amused and exasperated to see yet another Flame-Chasers eyeing Mei.
"The magician... Sister Vill-V, right?"
Kiana was quite impressed with Vill-V.
Because sometimes Vill-V was very gentle with her and often brought her homemade food, while at other times she was very cold to her, and she wouldn't even get a response when she greeted her.
But most importantly, Vill-V would suddenly put on a show for her from time to time.
"I remember mentioning earlier that Vill-V is not only a magician, but also a great engineer. Perhaps Mobius wasn't deceiving Mei. The anomaly that even Klein couldn't fix in the Elysian Realm might really be related to Vill-V."
Kiana and Kallen exchanged glances, both looking puzzled, as if they didn't remember at all.
"Well."
Cecilia sighed at this.
I have serious doubts about Kaslana's intelligence.
Mei returned to Pardo's shop and, as expected, saw the golden pendant there. Pardo was still boasting about how valuable the pendant was, saying that only one was left.
Under the guise of selling it to Mei, he stuffed it directly into Mei's arms.
The moment she touched the pendant, a gentle female voice rang in Mei's mind.
"It's you, you've finally come..."
Mei's vision gradually blurred, and her consciousness faded. When she opened her eyes again, all she saw was darkness. She knew that she had arrived at the place the Raven had described.
The gentle female voice seemed to have a magical power, making Mei unconsciously follow her words and walk forward until she saw a woman. The darkness made her face indistinct, and only her body was visible.
Her voice was gentle and soft.
But it gave Mei a strange feeling. Her intuition told her that the woman in front of her was dangerous, but she also wanted to confirm what the other woman said.
After a series of riddles and hypnotic words, Mei suddenly woke up and found herself back in the hall. Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare.
But the pendant in her hand told her that it wasn't a dream.
Upon seeing Mei awaken, Pardo was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Waaaaah, Mei- nee, I thought you'd never wake up again... When you suddenly fainted, I was so scared that the fur on my tail stood on end."
Pardo's reaction didn't seem fake, Pardo Mei about her, Mei couldn't help but soften her tone a little.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to faint. But... thank you for worrying about me, Pardo."
"Of course! You haven't paid me for the pendant yet!"
"So... this is what you were worried about..."
Mei found this reason both amusing and exasperating.
"Pfft."
Pardo's reasons for worrying are somewhat laughable.
"Pardo, how should I put it?"
Elysia looked amused.
"This pendant seems to be the one that Sister Nia gave to Raven to be given to Mei. After you secretly took it, you even thought of selling Mei."
"Sister Elysia, this is what you call being a businessman."
Pardo looked embarrassed.
"No, you're just making sure the thief doesn't leave empty-handed."
Kevin was joking.
"Boss Kevin, how could you say that about us!"
"Meow!"
Pardo and Canned Food were unusually united in their hatred of the enemy. Canned Food even raised its paw at Kevin, but given its size, it didn't seem scary at all; instead, it looked cute.
"But then again, what exactly did Sister Nia mean by deliberately pulling Mei into Depths? It's completely baffling what her intentions are."
Little Knowledge had just returned when he saw this scene, carrying two large buckets of popcorn, and was extremely puzzled.
Elysia quietly reached out and took a few kernels of popcorn from the bucket.
Little Knowledge patted her, Elysia pouted.
Eden glanced at it casually, Little Knowledge reluctantly shared a bucket of popcorn with Elysia.
"I don't know either."
Even Aponia herself didn't understand what she in the story wanted to do.
He neither openly displayed his malice like Mobius nor expressed goodwill like Elysia; he was simply a riddle-maker.
"I don't think Sister Nia is a bad person. Look, Sister Nia specifically took Mei to the Depths, just to soothe her inner pain and give her a place to rest."
Elysia doesn't think Aponia will be like Mobius.
"I think the same thing as Elysia."
Eden said this, but a hint of doubt remained in his heart.
Aponia's words can lead people to one side, just like a professional hypnotist, making people involuntarily believe her. But it is precisely because of this that her actions and words reveal a sense of danger.
"Sigh, if everyone were like an old-fashioned person, answering any question directly, we wouldn't be in this kind of pain."
Little Knowledge was dissatisfied.
"Isn't Mei's tired look just because she encountered a bunch of riddle-solving people?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Hua is truly willing to tell Mei everything without any concealment, but she also has one flaw: she doesn't know anything about anything.
Those who are unwilling to speak know everything, while those who are willing to speak are completely ignorant.
The comments section was buzzing with discussions about Aponia's intentions and motives.
No one believed that Aponia went through all that trouble just to pull Mei into Depths conversation.
However, a problem arises. As the third of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, he can instantly pull Mei's consciousness into the Depths through the pendant. If he really wanted to do something, he would probably be much easier Mobius.
But Aponia did nothing but spout a bunch of riddles.
Mei then went to Eden and recounted her experience.
But it was clear that Eden didn't offer her any useful help, though he did eventually provide her with two people who could be of assistance.
Kalpas and Elysia.
Mei didn't immediately seek out either of them, but instead went to the first person who had mentioned the Depths to her.
Cherry.
When Mei mentioned the Depths to Sakura, suddenly, that familiar feeling of Mei pulled into the Depths came over her again, and her consciousness gradually faded.
