Searching for the Missing Mei
If he cannot leave without conflict, Mo Yi is not afraid. Even if the vast majority of the Cultivator fighting him are there to uphold justice and are 'heroes' in various senses, Mo Yi will not hesitate to fight them if they stand opposite him. At most, he will fight them half to death within a controllable range, without endangering their lives.
PS: Chapter 298, Princess Arc 102: "I don't need it!" Realizing that Alice, her daughter who had been away from home for many years, had returned to her old mother with the sole purpose of getting her to help her steal a husband, the Demon God of the Underworld Shinki was definitely not going to agree! Did her daughter need a husband? No! Having her loving mother was enough! "Alice- chan has me, that's enough."
"Say that again—" Alice's face darkened. "If—" Ten minutes later, a reluctant Shenqi finally gave in, unable to refuse Alice's request. If she could just fulfill Alice's wish, she could indulge in Alice's desires as she always had. The thought alone was exciting. As for that man, she could worry about it later. Did he dare defy her, a being with demonic power? She could just treat him as Alice's servant. And as for her granddaughter, Little Alice, she was really looking forward to it.
Chapter 398: Searching for the Lost Miss Mei
Mo Yi never doubted that there were many true 'heroes' in the Cultivator Association. Take the doll shooting shop uncle 'Yi Xiao' whom Mo Yi had met before. Although he had a wicked sense of humor, he took the lead in the Amusement Park Incident, saving many people without showing any superior attitude. He was just like the hero in Mo Yi's personal moral values.
There are many such people in the Cultivator Association, and even among those who participated in the operation to capture Miss Mei, there are quite a few such 'heroes'.
However, the world also has its darkness. Mo Yi admires those true heroes, but there must be many among them who do whatever they want by relying on their own abilities and power. For example, according to Liliya, Koko Tenzang colluded with a high-ranking member of a certain Cultivator Association. After causing trouble, he had the Cultivator Association seal the gate to the Sea of Quantum. In fact, this was Koko Tenzang's original plan. Through the Cultivator Association, the Quantum Gate eventually fell into her hands and was used by her to achieve her goals.
At this moment, it is no longer a debate about right and wrong, but a debate about stance. Even if a hero stands in his way, Mo Yi will not hold back when necessary!
Otherwise, in the end, not only will you harm yourself, but also everyone who trusts you.
After hearing that Mo Yi had a way to get everyone away, everyone naturally believed him. Of course, Himeko, who was not familiar with Mo Yi but had only met him by eating and drinking at Late Night Diner, wanted to ask him a question, but seeing that her boss Theresa also looked relieved, she didn't ask.
"I'll leave Mei to Kiana and me to find—"
Mo Yi concluded by saying:
"Dean, please be prepared to take off at any time. Once we find Mei, we will leave immediately."
Although Mo Yi was extremely ruthless towards the Cultivator Association, he did not lose his mind and was prepared to confront the Cultivator Association -on. The other party was a newly emerging global organization, whose reputation far exceeded that of ancient organizations like Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, which were known only to people with some knowledge.
Even if we annihilate all the Cultivator they sent this time, so what?
Regardless of their good or bad qualities, these powerful Cultivator are indeed one of the important lines of defense and forces for humanity in its fight against the Honkai.
The adult world doesn't distinguish between right and wrong; the pursuit of pleasure and revenge may seem wonderful, but how many people can actually live up to it?
Most importantly, the vast majority of them were simply following orders and were not the masterminds behind the scenes. Killing them would only escalate the conflict and truly turn it into a fight to the death.
Mo Yi was the only one who was fine. When things got too annoying, he simply hid in Gensokyo. Did they think they could cross worlds to come and fight him?
But Auntie and the others couldn't. The East Branch of the Schicksal- level Academy and St. Freya Academy were right there. They could leave Derishya, but they couldn't leave the temple.
Under these circumstances, the only people suitable to be dispatched are Mo Yi himself, who possesses spatial abilities, and Kiana. However, Changkong City is so large that finding anyone would be extremely difficult.
So Mo Yi started to think, where is Miss Mei most likely hiding?
The Rune Necklace that Miss Mei for location tracking was destroyed when she transformed into a herrscher. Mo Yi naturally didn't know the specific reason for the destruction; he simply couldn't locate Miss Mei's position using the Rune Necklace.
At this point, we can only rely on guesswork to find the place where Miss Mei is most likely to go.
According to Kiana and the others, Mei managed to escape only after transforming into a Herrscher, but then disappeared without Honkai Will. If she were like Herrscher, only knowing how to cause trouble head-on, the sky over Changkong City would already be filled with lightning storms. How could she possibly hide?
In other words, Miss Mei still retains her original consciousness, or rather, she is currently in a period of struggle between two consciousnesses for control of her body.
"Let's go home and take a look first."
The most likely place for Miss Mei to go is naturally Mo Yi's house. Although Mo Yi just went back, he didn't search it thoroughly. It's normal for things to go unnoticed.
"Isn't she here? Let's go to Mei's house next."
At this moment, the Scout Ward that Mo Yi had planted in Mei's hometown finally came in handy.
After arriving at Mei's living room, Mo Yi searched the place thoroughly, but still couldn't find any trace of Mei.
Mo Yi: "..."
Aside from his own home and Mei's home, Mo Yi really couldn't think of anywhere else Mei might be. It couldn't possibly be the school or the supermarket where she goes to buy groceries every day, could it?
Thinking about it this way, I really am not good enough. It's like after many years of marriage, when my wife suddenly disappears one day, all I can think of are the places she might go, only my own home and her parents' home. There are no places that have left deep memories or special significance.
A minute later, Mo Yi thought of another possible place. According to the Honkai Impact 3rd data, after Raiden Ryoma Miss Mei was tricked by Cocolia, Mei often stayed at the abandoned research center of ME Corp because she was ostracized at school. On the one hand, she was looking for evidence that her father was framed, and on the other hand, she missed her father in the place where he had worked day and night.
Filled with hope, Mo Yi knocked down one Honkai Beast with a punch or knocked out another Cultivator was also searching for Miss Mei, and finally reached his destination.
Five minutes later, Mo Yi, who had arrived with high hopes, walked out with a look of disappointment.
"Mei- "
Mo Yi hadn't noticed before that Miss Mei always took care of them quietly, only thinking of them when they were hungry. But it was only then that he realized that she had become an integral part of his life, and he could no longer, or rather, he didn't want to, leave her.
"No, think again carefully about where they might appear!"
At this moment, Mo Yi began to painstakingly search through his own memories!
Since gaining the ability of the Light of the Heart, Mo Yi's memory has improved day by day. Even things that were vague in the past can now be easily recalled as long as one tries to remember them, just like a computer cloud drive.
"This is--"
After searching through his own memories for six months since meeting Miss Mei, Mo Yi couldn't find any relevant clues. So he started searching through his past memories. After all, she was a student at the same school as him, so he might have met her before, but Mo Yi just hadn't noticed.
Then, Mo Yi also discovered a lot of 'interesting' memories that made him both laugh and cry.
"It turns out that the first time I met this person was in the school cafeteria..."
It really was a first encounter full of campus vibes.
Mo Yi finally remembered the black-haired beauty he had stood up before; it turned out that the other person was Miss Mei!
He just didn't realize at the time that the other person was someone he knew.
That day, he was playing on his phone and typing as usual while queuing for food, and the pretty girl in front of him was Miss Mei.
Then it was in the school corridor, followed by the library entrance.
Finally, the other party took the initiative to ask me to meet them at noon on the stone bridge next to the island in the lake.
Yeah, and then the other person got stood up by me!
PS: Let me briefly explain the random characters who appeared in the previous chapter. They're just minor characters, appearing for only one chapter; they're just background characters, considered Easter eggs, so they won't affect the main text. Secondly, in Mihoyo's lore, Herrscher are actually very powerful, after all, they're meant to destroy the world. They just look pathetic in the main story, but in the background they're incredibly powerful, with the Herrscher of the End even destroying human civilization countless times. And this is in Honkai Impact 3rd; in Honkai Impact 2, their power levels were inflated to cosmic levels, like parallel universes. As for characters like Akainu, they're still fighting on the surface, at most sinking an island. (This is just my personal interpretation, a joke for safety; the focus of this book isn't on combat power.)
Episode 299, Princess Arc 103: After shooting the arrow through the clouds, Yagokoro Eirin waited in the room. About half an hour later, a ray of moonlight appeared in front of her, from hazy to solid, and finally turned into a woman who was shrouded in moonlight. At first glance, she was considered to be the embodiment of beauty. However, to see her clearly, under the moonlight, one could only see flowers through a fog.
"Yonglin, thank you for taking care of me all these years." "Your Majesty..." Looking at her leader and best friend of countless lifetimes, Yonglin felt a mix of emotions. "No, you can still call me Princess."
