I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Inside the Anti-Entropy Base—

"Ugh... my neck hurts so much... no, Mei!!!"

Kiana suddenly sat up in bed, her eyes filled with disbelief. She gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Mei Yi...Mei Yi..."

Kiana sat on the bed, her eyes glazed over, her mind replaying the scene of Mei ambushing her on the beach.

At that moment, Kiana noticed something bulging under the blanket by the bed, so she forcefully pulled the blanket off.

"Mei! Wait... no... this seems to be the puppet I couldn't find in the theater with a thousand people?"

"Hmm? And... this is a greeting card?"

Kiana was puzzled, so she opened the greeting card and saw that it read:

Kiana, I understand how you feel, but for the common goal of fighting the Honkai, I still have to go back to World Serpent.

Because there are people there who need me, and I've already promised Kevin that I have to contribute to the World Serpent.

But believe me, we will definitely defeat the Honkai in the near future. This is not a possibility, it is a certainty!

Please wait a little longer, until the day we defeat the Honkai, until all of this is over...

Then I will come and marry you.

Oh, by the way~ this is my life-size figurine, consider it your Qixi Festival gift~

Happy Qixi Festival! Kiana~

Raiden Mei

Kiana finished reading quickly, but her expression was terrifyingly calm.

Suddenly Kiana started reading very quickly, finishing the entire greeting card in just a few dozen seconds, but her expression remained unusually calm, without the slightest ripple.

However, in the next second, Kiana, holding the greeting card in her right hand, instantly released a burst of flames, and the greeting card was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye, turning into dust and scattering in the air.

"Mei, is this your choice?"

Kiana murmured softly, her voice filled with endless sorrow and despair. Her eyes dimmed, as if all hope had vanished.

Kiana glanced again at the Mei figure on the bed, the world in her eyes began to blur, tears welled up in her eyes, and finally turned into a thin mist that enveloped her vision.

Kiana slowly turned around, gently sat on the belly of the Mei figure, and then slowly leaned down to press her cheek close to the figure.

Kiana reached out and hugged the Mei figure tightly, her lips trembling slightly as she whispered to herself:

"Mei, I'm so sad..."

"I'm already in this state, do you really have to go to World Serpent?"

"What's so great about that World Serpent?! And what's so bad about Anti-Entropy?!"

Kiana didn't understand; she really didn't understand.

Why not just reverse entropy to fight against Honkai? Besides, she became the Herrscher of Flame, along with Bronya, Xiaoshi, Mei, Theresa, and Welt, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

The four Herrschers, Anti-Entropy, and an S-class Valkyrie, can't even defeat a mere World Serpent?

Mei's promise with the World Serpent? What a joke!

If Mei wants to quit, and Kevin disagrees, then try my Flame Blaze Greatsword.

and many more!

She had always believed that Mei had some unspeakable reason for being in World Serpent, or that she wanted to use World Serpent to accomplish something, or that she was being blackmailed by Kevin into not being able to leave.

But... what if... Mei simply didn't want to leave World Serpent?

Why did she leave?

Is it really just to fight against the Honkai?

Or is there some other reason?

No, that can't be, it can't be like that.

How could Mei not want to leave World Serpent? He's always loved me!

She's always hated the World Serpent! Kevin must have forced her! She had no choice!

I must be overthinking it. If it weren't for Kevin, Mei would have left World Serpent long ago!

But what if all of this is true?

What if Mei really doesn't want to leave World Serpent?

He didn't want to leave the World Serpent... and that's why he said those things to me...

If... Mei is being this gentle with me like one of those scumbag guys in novels... just to keep me calm...

If this is actually a lie...

So, what should I do?

What else can I do?

"Ahhh, hehe, haha, hee hee hee hee!"

Kiana, upon realizing this, covered her face with her hands and burst into wild laughter, revealing a hint of madness.

She couldn't accept this fact.

She always thought Mei was forced to stay in World Serpent, which is why she wanted to rescue her.

But now it seems that Mei may not want to leave there at all.

Then what's the point of everything I've done?

Who do you think you are?

A self-righteous fool?!

A single tear rolled down Kiana's face, followed by countless more.

Kiana was clearly crying, but she couldn't stop smiling.

She laughed so happily, as if it were a ridiculous farce.

Laughing through tears, then laughing again in the face of extreme sorrow...

Tears blurred her vision, but she still couldn't stop crying.

Kiana buried her face in the chest of the Mei figure and cried.

Kiana's heart felt like it had been torn in two; one half struggled in pain, while the other half succumbed to self-mockery.

Kiana recalled all the moments she had shared with Mei.

"We promised to stay together forever... but you broke your promise first..."

"If...Mei, you're going to do this...then..."

"Haha...hehe...hehehehe...hehehehe!"

"Honestly, it's been so long, and Kiana still hasn't returned the game console she borrowed from me!"

Xiao Shi looked lazy as he walked and complained.

Finally, Xiao Shi knocked on Kiana's door.

"Hey Kiana, you should return the game console you borrowed from me. It's been so long, I still want to play Mafia Goku~"

Xiao Shi called out, but there was no response from inside.

"Oh, I forgot! Kiana should have been called away by Welt to train at this time!"

"Although it's not nice to barge into other people's rooms, I can't wait to play Gangster Wukong!"

"I am destiny itself!"

With that, Xiao Shi effortlessly opened the locked door. She smiled smugly, then pushed the door open and went inside.

"Hehe, let me find where the game console is!" Xiao Shi rubbed his hands excitedly and started searching the room.

"It should be in the bedroom, right?"

After searching the living room to no avail, Xiao Shi went to Kiana's bedroom, only to be shocked by what he saw.

"Oh my god, what... what happened... Mei, what's wrong with you?!"

Xiao Shi stared wide-eyed at everything before him in disbelief.

Mei was lying on the bed, her legs twisted beyond recognition, her clothes disheveled with many holes, revealing her private parts.

Moreover, ropes were attached to the four corners of the bed, binding Mei tightly and suspending her on the bed in a suspended state, while her cervical spine was tightly bound.

One of the hands was bent, and it appeared that the bones in it were completely broken. The hair was also very messy, with some strands stuck together.

The whole thing looks like it's been completely ruined.

Xiao Shi was shocked when she first saw this scene, and it caused extremely strong damage to her young mind in that instant.

However, the next moment, Shiko realized that the person in front of her was not Mei herself, but just a doll.

"I was terrified... Is this Kiana's room? Why would there be something like this?!"

Xiao Shi didn't understand; she just felt that her previous understanding of Kiana had been completely overturned.

"I never imagined Kiana had this side to her..."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance..."

After another search, Xiao Shi finally found the game console. Just as he was about to take it away, he suddenly remembered something and silently put the game console back in its original place.

Then he carefully left the room, afraid of leaving any trace.

"I can't just take the game console away like this. What if Kiana finds out I know her little secret..."

"Even an ancient relic like this can't save me..."
