Don't shoot, I'm just a Honkai Impact 3rd content creator!

Bronya was so surprised that she almost fell headfirst onto the heavy bunny behind her, while Alicia was a little better off, but the shock on her face was no less than that of Bronya.

"It turns out it really is someone who has already appeared, and it's even that raven?"

Bronya scratched her head in confusion, feeling like her brain wasn't quite working properly.

Bronya didn't care about character design or anything like that. She was just curious how Raven, as a member of World Serpent, couldn't even afford a villa island.

Are snakes in the world really that poor?

Or perhaps the World Serpent isn't poor; it's just Raven who's poor.

Alicia also touched her chin.

"Tsk, he's really heartbroken over a villa island. It seems Kevin isn't very generous to his subordinates!"

In the Honkai world, in the Land of Bygone Days, Raven, who was chatting with Eden and Mei, suddenly sneezed, catching the other two off guard.

Mei: "Raven, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Mei was completely bewildered. So, memories and spirits can catch a cold too?

Raven was also confused at this moment, wondering why she suddenly sneezed.

"...I don't know, I just suddenly felt like sneezing."

Mei: ...

Eden: ......

"Raven, why don't you go find Klein to check on your mental state?"

Having experienced many things in the Land of the Past, Mei is very cautious at this moment, so she suggests that Raven go to Klein for a check-up, and Eden has the same idea.

“That’s right, Miss Raven. Under normal circumstances, the mind and memory do not inherit physical diseases. Your situation needs to be taken seriously.”

Raven scratched her head; she wasn't as cautious and serious as Mei and Eden.

"No, I don't feel like it's anything serious. It just feels like... someone is talking badly about me?"

Eden, Mei: ? ? ?

"Talking badly about you?"

Mei and Eden were both full of question marks. How could you sense something like this? Raven, have you evolved some kind of special ability?

"Yeah, it was like back in Changkong City, when Xiaokong and Mei... yeah, you know, I was sneezing non-stop back then too."

As the raven spoke, it began to become vague, clearly unwilling to elaborate on the matter.

Eden was completely baffled and didn't understand the details, but Mei seemed to remember something and suddenly realized what was going on.

"Raven, you mean you did it because of something else...?"

Before Mei could finish speaking, Raven reached out and covered her mouth.

Mei was taken aback at first, then quickly realized that Raven probably didn't want Eden to know about this, right? No, that's not right, Raven probably didn't want anyone to know about this!

Having figured all this out, Mei suddenly looked at Raven with a hint of mockery in her eyes, the meaning in her eyes very clear.

Miss Raven, you wouldn't want Eden to know about your pacing, rolling around, and crying, would you?

Raven: (*゜ー゜*)

In the end, after a fierce exchange of glances, Raven was defeated, because Mei had found out about her dark past back then.

Eden: ......

"I have a feeling that Mei and Raven are hiding something from me."

Eden lazily took a sip of the wine in his glass, a wry smile playing on his lips, and said teasingly.

She wasn't really interested in what the raven was trying to hide; she just wanted to tease it.

"Ahem, let's change the subject." Raven coughed twice, quickly changing the subject. "By the way, have you seen Alicia lately? It seems like we haven't seen her in a long time?"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Paradise Without Airi, Lightning Rekindled

"Alicia, it really has been a long time since I've seen her. Eden, do you know what she's been up to lately?"

Raven's change of topic made Mei realize that she hadn't seen Alicia for a while. Before, whenever she returned from exploring Paradise, that pink fairy would be waiting for her in the hall.

Eden shook his head, still looking languid.

“If Ellie wants to hide, no one can find her. She probably has some things to take care of right now. Don’t worry, this is actually Ellie’s normal way of appearing. Before you came, Miss Mei, Ellie didn’t stay in this Golden Garden very often.”

Perhaps because the method by which the system took Alicia's memory away from the Paradise of the Past was too advanced, the situation was different from that in the Eternal Paradise storyline. None of the other heroes realized that Alicia's memory had already left the Paradise.

Klein, who was in charge of maintaining Paradise, was completely unaware of anything unusual, and the entire Paradise did not change at all because of Alicia's departure.

Everyone assumed that Alicia was hiding away again, preparing some kind of "surprise" for everyone.

Of course, this is only the situation in the short term. Once it has been a long time, other heroes will inevitably notice and make guesses. It's hard to say what will happen in the Land of the Past!

But at least for now, everything is as usual.

"What's wrong, Mei-san? Are you missing Airi?"

Eden stared at Mei with a strange look that made Mei's scalp tingle.

Mei: ...

Mei wanted to answer no, but facing Eden, who was the best person to talk to in this paradise, Mei couldn't bear to lie.

"Well, it's been so long since I've seen her, I'm a little not used to it."

"Don't worry too much. Ellie often disappears for a while like this, but it won't be for long. She should be back soon."

As Eden spoke, he thought to himself silently.

After all, Ellie herself should know what the whole paradise would become if she disappeared for too long or was no longer there!

That scene was something no one wanted to see...

Of course, Eden never imagined that at this moment, Alicia's memory had already traveled to another world and was enjoying "binge-watching" a TV series.

The cold-blooded killer Raven, the World Serpent, was the "teacher" who saved the children in Changkong City. The fact that Raven paced back and forth, rolled around, and cried because the villa island was destroyed shocked most viewers, but it is a fact that cannot be changed.

The video is still playing.

After the raven appeared, Mei immediately picked up her weapon and became cautious.

This woman is the same World Serpent member who injured her in Sky City and orchestrated the experiment!

The fact that someone like this suddenly appeared in Changkong City, right after they discovered that Kiana might be there, made Mei unable to believe that the person was just coincidentally there.

After a few simple exchanges, Mei realized that her guess was correct: the Raven had come to Changkong City at this time for Kiana's sake.

However, her goals differed from Mei's and Tesla's...

"My purpose in coming here is to find her, and then... kill her!"

Raven's tone was very resolute, and the murderous intent contained within it made Mei's hair stand on end, but this did not frighten Mei.

"I won't let that happen!"

Mei's eyes were incredibly firm; she would never allow Kiana to be hurt again, especially not in front of her!

This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!

"hehe."

Raven merely smiled coldly at Mei's words, not taking Mei's strength seriously. Even without using the Third Divine Key, Seven Lightning Bolts of Purification, Raven was confident she could easily defeat Mei.

This was proven in Sky City.

The tension between the two women grew increasingly palpable, reaching a point where they were on the verge of violence. However, in the end, they refrained from taking action, because neither Mei nor Raven wanted their conflict to affect the children, such as Sora.

Conversely, thanks to Sora and the others acting as a buffer zone, Raven and Mei briefly formed a cooperative relationship, searching for Kiana together within the territory of Sora City.

Of course, once it's found, everyone will have to rely on their own methods.

......

Over the next few days, Mei, Tesla, and Raven continued their search throughout Changkong City. Although Changkong City was quite large, through their efforts, they managed to find Kiana by following Benares's trail.

When Raven and Mei arrived at Kiana's location, she was unconscious, lying directly in a pile of ruins.

And it was at this moment that Mei and the Raven Key's fragile partnership came to an end.

Mei drew her sword and silently pointed it at the raven.

"Very good, it seems you understand that this is the only solution."

"But I'm curious, where does your confidence come from that you think you can protect her from me? You couldn't do it in the past, and you're even less likely to do it now!"

In just a few seconds, Raven and Mei had already exchanged blows several times, and the result was very clear: Raven had the upper hand.

Raven's steel claws pressed directly against Mei's katana, the immense force leaving Mei with no strength to retaliate.

Mei looked at the raven with its ambiguous smile and knew very well that things couldn't continue like this.

Although Tesla had adjusted her armor before, it was still far from enough to fight against the Serpent Executives of the Raven World! She needed power, power she could use.

Mei's mind raced as she considered what else she could do to increase her power.

Suddenly, Tesla's words from the Anti-Entropy base flashed into Mei's mind.
