Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

White hair, a red and black coat, and a slightly stale short dress...

She bears a striking resemblance to the school principal, Theresa, and looks like her older sister.

The girl, who was originally only about 1.5 meters tall, suddenly grew much taller and even changed completely.

Mei was stunned by what she saw, completely bewildered.

How did Nightingale become a different person?

And her back view... felt strangely familiar.

"Click, click, click..."

Several venomous spider mechs were about to self-destruct, but Ziyao had already anticipated their actions and raised her gun to destroy the key controller.

The girl finished her firing in a cool and stylish manner, quite satisfied with her performance.

Inheriting the power of the flirtatious lotus, she inexplicably has a desire to express herself, and she rarely talks to herself.

When no one is speaking, one usually remains silent.

Living alone for many years has instilled this habit in her.

"Hoo-ha—it's good to get some exercise once in a while."

Ziyao stretched and wanted to take care of a few more, but she didn't expect Anti-Entropy to be so stingy, only sending the Poison Spider Mech.

Fortunately, the materials used can replenish the number of times the doll can be used, otherwise I would be heartbroken.

"Nightingale teacher... is that you?"

Mei was stunned, unsure of what she had said.

After all, the person in front of her, in terms of both appearance and strength, was far different from the teacher she respected.

“…”

Ziyao suddenly froze, then immediately pretended to be calm.

"Not."

She immediately denied it.

"I saw it."

Mei stepped forward, her bright, moist eyes filled with seriousness.

"I've had a question from the very beginning..."

"Teacher Nightingale, this isn't actually your real name, is it?"

“…”

Ziyao remained silent.

"I'm sorry, I don't intend to pry too much, but... I'd really like to know the teacher's real name."

After thinking about it, Mei realized she had been too direct, so she added something else.

The girl was as understanding and gentle as ever, neither pushing too hard nor leaving each other enough space.

It's hard to imagine that Mei, in front of outsiders, actually has such a cold demeanor.

If St. Freya's students saw this, they would probably think they were dreaming.

"Don't worry, you'll find out sooner or later."

Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had been exposed.

Before Kiana arrived, she canceled the doll's power and gradually returned to normal.

"Yes, please be sure to let me know when the time comes."

"I'm sorry, that was a bit sudden..."

Mei's eyes were clear. Although they hadn't known each other for long, she respected Ziyao very much and considered her a very good teacher.

"It's okay, let's just consider it an agreement."

The truth will out.

After Wendy's matter is resolved, she will answer Mei's questions.

Of course, this is on the premise that it does not affect the plot.

The silly Kiana will end up with the gentle Mei, and Bronya will find her Seele.

As for Theresa, she will probably continue to live alone in an empty house.

There are other people too...

Only in this way can she keep a low profile, avoid attracting the attention of the Honkai Will, and slowly cultivate until the end.

This is her plan.

However......

Little did they know that this very idea planted the seeds of a twisted world, which quietly sprouted.

Ziyao hadn't expected that now was the time when she should be most honest.

Soon, she will be caught in a huge vortex of contradictions.

Waking up exhausted from a hangover, I stared blankly at the white sheets stained with blood.

It felt chilly under her skirt. She tried to get up, but found her hands were handcuffed.

It's too late to regret it now.

Then, the plot began to fall apart...

..

"Mei, I borrowed the latest manga. Didn't you want to read it last time?"

A short while later, Kiana arrived at their side with a comic book.

"Thank you, I'll check it later."

Mei isn't in the mood for reading comics right now; she has an important investigation to conduct.

When she returned to the table, she discovered that the electronic screen on it was gone.

"Didn't you take it?"

When asked, the administrator looked puzzled.

Mei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Ahem, I do have some ideas, Miss Mei, would you like to hear them?"

As a well-read administrator, she has a deep understanding of Honkai Impact.

"If it's true, perhaps it happened in another time and space."

Or perhaps...

Kiana quickly answered, "I know, it's time reversal."

The administrator nodded, acknowledging this conjecture.

"Hmm, Kiana is very smart today."

Mei nodded; that did indeed make sense.

It seems today's efforts will be fruitless once again.

I heard that both Destiny and Anti-Entropy are thoroughly investigating this matter. Is this all we can do?

After discussing it for a while and downloading the relevant materials, the three of them quickly returned to the sanatorium.

Volume One: Chapter Sixty-Three: On the Eve of the Lawful Conversion

"Lady Cocolia, the potion is ready. As long as she drinks it, her Honkai energy will go berserk within half a day."

Wendy's attending physician stood in front of Cocolia and reported to her.

After Bronya successfully connected with Wendy in the morning, Wendy's mental state improved considerably.

If this continues, the speed at which the girls are distorted by the will of collapse will slow down, which will be very disadvantageous for them.

The Valkyrie unit from New Zealand will be back soon; Anti-Entropy can no longer delay and must take action as soon as possible.

"Very good, tomorrow will be the day of harvest."

Cocolia stood on the roof of the sanatorium, looking down into the distance.

Thick, dark clouds covered the sky, foreshadowing an impending storm.

Reclaim the coveted gems.

At the same time, Raiden Mei was also there.

If I can also conquer the gemstone, this trip to New Zealand will be worthwhile.

As for destiny?

They seem powerful, but they're nothing special; they don't even know their territory has been infiltrated.

No matter how powerful the S-class Valkyrie Theresa is, she could never discover what is truly happening around her.

By the time she realized it, she had already achieved her goal.

Now, all the preparations are complete, and all that's needed is the right catalyst to ignite everything.

..

About ten minutes later, a black sedan drove into the sanatorium.

Inside the car, Mei repeatedly examined historical documents and materials, while Kiana next to her was engrossed in a comic book.

Theresa sat in her office, feeling extremely annoyed, with a huge mess waiting for her to clean up.

Especially with Reverse Entropy, she sent people to search the nearby valleys and abandoned buildings, but they couldn't find a single hair.

Where exactly could it be...?

Looking at the map, Theresa bit her lower lip and said unwillingly.
