Honkai Exposed, Iconic Elysian Realm Scenes at the Start

Raiden Mei: "But Kiana, it seems like you once ate raw dumplings."

Kiana: "That was an accident! I was so hungry at the time, I didn't even realize and just ate them raw. It even made my stomach hurt for a long time."

Everyone suddenly felt that Theresa's proposed possibility wasn't entirely unreasonable.

After all, a normal person wouldn't eat uncooked dumplings raw.

[Quiz begins.]

[What does Mobius's Memory Body in the Previous Era Elysian Realm want to do to Mei?]

[A: Have Mei stay in the Previous Era Elysian Realm to cook.]

[B: Place Mei on the operating table and make her the latest test subject.]

[C: Wants to possess Mei's body to escape the Previous Era Elysian Realm.]

[D: Mobius wants to touch Mei's horns.]

Raiden Mei: "..."

Seeing the new question, Raiden Mei felt a herd of alpacas stampede through her heart, shattering her previously heavy mood.

Then she subconsciously touched the top of her head.

Unfortunately, there was nothing there for now.

Kiana: "Are all of you in the Previous Era Elysian Realm perverts? Why is everyone so interested in Mei's horns? I haven't even touched them yet!"

Pardofelis: "Wait, don't include me. I haven't touched them either!"

Raiden Mei: "So, Pardo, do you have that idea too?"

Pardofelis: "No, Sister Mei, you misunderstand me. I'm only interested in stocking up and trading... Of course, if you ever change your mind and want to sell your horns to me, I'll buy them back at a high price."

Raiden Mei: "Don't worry, that day will never come."

This Pardo, even though she hadn't become the Herrscher of Thunder yet and didn't even have horns, was already thinking about buying her horns.

As expected, you're not a proper cat either!

Pardofelis: "Sister Mei, compared to your horns, shouldn't you be more concerned about what Sister Snake wants to do to you? Some of these answers are downright chilling."

Raiden Mei: "Huh? Didn't she just want to touch my horns?"

Perhaps because of Elysia, Raiden Mei subconsciously assumed that every Memory Body in the Elysian Realm was very interested in her horns.

Now that Pardo asked, she finally realized.

Compared to having her horns touched, she should be more concerned about her own safety!

Bronya: "Excluding the most unreliable option of cooking, one is to use Mei as a test subject, and the other is to escape the Previous Era Elysian Realm. We don't know Mobius well, can any of you analyze this?"

Eden: "Mobius... I have a good relationship with her, so I won't comment. However, Pardo has a very deep impression of Mobius, you can ask her."

After all, Pardofelis was one of the few test subjects who, after being studied by Mobius, still held a lingering desire to be studied.

Pardofelis: "Don't look at me. Do I really know Sister Snake that well? Forget going into her lab, I'd have to climb over walls just to avoid her if I met her on the way."

Kiana: "Pardo, didn't you say you were tough as nails before?"

Pardofelis: "Being tough as nails depends on who it is. To me, Sister Snake's danger level is far beyond Brother Jie's!"

Even if she angered Chakravartin, Pardofelis figured she'd at most be thrown out and then make her escape.

But if she fell into Sister Snake's hands, she'd probably have two Pardo and Felis by the next day!

Elysia: "I can talk to her a little, but unfortunately, I can't analyze the answer you're looking for."

Raiden Mei: "Why?"

Elysia: "Because both tying Mei to the operating table for research and the so-called possession of her body are very much in line with Mobius's way of doing things."

If the System hadn't warned her, Elysia would have suspected it was a multiple-choice question.

Chapter 17: The Unbearable Sister Snake

Theresa: "...Either putting people in the lab or possessing their bodies, is the Mobius you're talking about a pervert?"

Elysia: "From a general rational perspective, that's called a mad scientist."

Eden: "While I find Mobius's scientific philosophy a bit hard to accept, I can vouch for her scientific knowledge."

Bronya: "It sounds very impressive."

Pardofelis: "Of course! If you can survive Sister Snake's surgery, you'll definitely be a rare talent!"

But she couldn't guarantee the survival rate.

After all, Pardofelis herself had become a Flame-Chaser in a daze back then.

[Fastest answer countdown ended, randomly selecting a lucky participant to answer.]

[Congratulations to Eden for being the lucky participant! Please answer quickly, or you will be penalized for an incorrect answer.]

Kiana: "Ha, that scared me half to death. Glad it wasn't me."

Bronya: "Fortunately, it wasn't Sister Mei. Otherwise, we'd have to do our own cooking for a few days."

Raiden Mei: "Uh, even for me, it's not like I'd get the punishment wrong twice, right?"

Although Mei didn't think her luck was that great for this kind of question that was entirely based on guessing.

After all, she wasn't like Kiana, who guessed all her multiple-choice questions.

Eden: "Since it's a randomly selected lucky audience member, there's nothing that can be done."

Elysia: "So, who are you going to choose, Eden?"

Eden: "Of course, I'll borrow some luck from [Gold]. I'll choose B for heads and C for tails."

Eden pulled a coin engraved with patterns on both sides from her pocket and tossed it high into the air.

When the coin landed, its crisp sound was like thunder from a clear sky. It then spun around Eden's feet until it stopped, revealing the side facing up.

Tails!

Eden: "I choose C!"

[Correct answer.]

Pardofelis: "Wow wow wow! Sister Eden, what kind of amazing skill is this? It's even better than my signature move. Teach me, you have to teach me!"

The flashy display had Pardo's eyes glued to it.

While Pardofelis could often achieve her goals through intuition and luck, it was nowhere near as cool and classy as Eden's coin-flipping technique.

Eden: "It's just ordinary coin flipping. If Pardo likes it, I'll give you this coin to play with."

Pardofelis: "Thank you, Sister Eden, thank you, Sister Eden!"

Kiana: "I want one too, I want one too! Next time I have multiple-choice questions on a test, I'll use a coin to decide too!"

Damn it.

This person is too rich, actually using a gold coin.

Kiana usually just used an eraser with the four letters written on it for multiple-choice questions; how could she be so extravagant?

Himeko Murata: "Kiana, shut up and go review your homework! In the last exam, besides the multiple-choice questions, you didn't even write a single character correctly!"

Kiana: "Ehehe!"

[Congratulations to Eden for obtaining the reward: Life Coin.]

Pardofelis: "A Life Coin, that's a good thing, Sister Eden."

Eden: "It's a shame I don't have anything special I want to do right now, and I don't know which time period I'll return to. I'll keep it for now."

Eden put the Life Coin in her pocket, temporarily adding it to her collection, one of her treasures.

When she looked up, a familiar figure appeared on the screen, though very different from the Mobius that Eden remembered.

[On the screen, Mobius in her three-year-start form stood opposite Mei, showing her a cute expression.

"What big sister wants is for you to take me away from here."

"Don't joke around, Mobius. You're the owner of this place, you don't need me to..."

Mei stopped mid-sentence, as if suddenly realizing something: "Wait, you want to leave the Previous Era Elysian Realm? That's impossible, you're just..."

Before she could utter the word "Memory Body," Mei sensed the clue she was missing and the truth that Mobius had already presented.

And now, Mobius was about to succeed.

"The experiment you conducted on Gray Serpent, the technology you believe can save Klein, it's consciousness transfer, isn't it?" Mei asked.

"Heh heh, that's right. Big sister has been waiting for you to discover this. However, it might be a little too late to regret it now."

"A living Herrscher, such a perfect body. This is truly the most precious gift I've ever received."

Mobius's laughter fell on Mei's skin piece by piece, like a shadow of fear, slowly seeping into her nerves.

"Tell me, after I leave the Previous Era Elysian Realm, should I thank Kevin?"

Mobius's tone suggested she had already grasped victory and could pluck the fruit of success at any moment.

"I see. Giving me the Infinity imprint wasn't to help me, but to allow my body to adapt to your consciousness sooner," Mei said after some thought.

"If this is all your plan, I can only say you've found the wrong person."

Mei wasn't inexperienced in fighting for control with another consciousness within her body.

She was confident that Mobius would be the one to lose.

"Fight? What are you talking about, big sister?"

Mobius seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world and then slowly revealed her fangs.

"I have no interest in sharing the same body with you. The experiment will end soon, and only one person will be able to leave here."

An indescribable green liquid spread beneath Mobius's feet, engulfing her.

A giant queen snake slithered up. Its lower body was that of a snake, while its upper body wore the crown of [Infinity] and wielded a scepter.

Mobius's artificial Honkai-devastation form.]

Pardofelis: "That's strange. The Sister Snake in my memory wasn't this small. Why is Sister Snake like this in the Elysian Realm?"

Elysia: "Did you forget about the rumor that Mobius and Chakravartin had an illegitimate daughter? Mobius's revival requires energy, and she shrinks."

Pardofelis: "But the Elysian Realm was made by Sister Snake. When she saved her Memory Bodies, why didn't she restore them to their original appearance?"

A bold guess appeared in Pardo's mind.

Could it be that Mobius prefers to act young and appear weak, then wait for prey to fall into her trap?

Come to think of it, that's entirely possible!

Elysia: "How can we possibly guess what Mobius is thinking? After all, she is Mobius of the Infinity."

Himeko Murata: "I've heard you all talking about 'Infinity' before. What exactly does it mean?"

Pardofelis: "It means Sister Snake can revive after death, but it requires a massive amount of energy, and her body shrinks."

Theresa: "Infinite revival? Wouldn't that make her invincible?"

Eden: "Not quite that powerful. After all, if there isn't enough energy during revival, who knows what she'll turn into."

Mobius in this form is already a "three-year-start."

If she got any smaller, she'd truly be an "unbearable" Mobius.

Chapter 18: Mei is Someone Who Lived Through After Honkai

Bronya: "I just heard Mobius mention consciousness transfer. Is this technology, which only exists in theory, really possible to achieve?"

Kiana: "No way! If it's really achieved, wouldn't that mean as long as you can transfer bodies, you can achieve immortality?"

Mobius's infinite reincarnation still requires sufficient energy, but consciousness transfer technology is a bit too unfair.

In theory, as long as the person who masters this technology doesn't want to die, they can find various ways to extend their life.
