I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

When are you most courageous? When you know you are doomed to die.

Hu Ritian moved his lips, feeling blood gushing from his throat. Finally, he managed to say, "I'm going to die. Can I touch your long, black-stockinged legs?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen pierced his chest with the Spear of the Void.

"Pfft!" Hu Ritian spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his consciousness fading. His mind kept replaying his past. Was he going to die at 18? What would happen after he died?

Just as the Queen was about to unleash another Void Spear, the surrounding landscape began to collapse.

The ruins of the school building, the trees along the road, the blue sky. All of this is turning into nothingness, turning white, losing its color.

Upon seeing this, the Queen withdrew the Void Spear from Hu Ritian's body, sat in mid-air, crossed her legs, and said mockingly, "After killing so many fictitious consciousnesses, I didn't expect you to be the real one~"

Hu Ritian watched as the surrounding scenery collapsed and returned to the white void, still puzzled. What was happening to this world?

However, he discovered that the bloody hole that had pierced his body by the Spear of the Void had disappeared, and his body was undergoing visible changes. His hair was becoming thinner and longer, and his black hair was turning purple. The rough lines on his hands were gradually becoming smaller and more delicate. Two little white rabbits were gradually growing on his chest, and his nearsightedness seemed to have improved.

"Huh? What... what's going on?" Hu Ritian asked, puzzled.

"Huh? Why has my voice changed too!"

Eventually, all the scenery vanished, and the sky returned to endless white. The only colors remaining in this space were Hu Ritian and the queen before him.

Seeing the changes in Hu Ritian, the Queen murmured, "Is it because of the mental trauma that his true form has surfaced?"

Looking at the vast white space around him, Hu Ritian felt as if he had traveled through time. He couldn't help but look at the Queen beside him and asked with some fear, "Do you... know what happened?"

The Queen pondered for a moment, then said to herself, "It seems the mental attack I suffered wasn't enough—I haven't recalled the memories of this sacred seal yet."

"Sigh, I guess I'll have to step in again."

Hu Ritian looked at the queen striding towards him with long legs and asked with some nervousness and doubt, "What...what do you want to do?"

"Human, what do you say?" A smile appeared on the Queen's lips, but a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

"You...uh!!!" Before Hu Ritian could finish speaking, the Queen grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

A powerful force gripped Hu Ritian's neck, causing intense pain and suffocation; he could even feel the flesh and blood being squeezed together.

Then the Queen grabbed Hu Ritian by the neck and slammed him hard against the ground, once, twice, and again!

Every time Hu Ritian's back collided with the ground, he felt as if his internal organs were being displaced.

The Queen stretched out her right hand and slapped Hu Ritian across the face.

"Bang!" Hu Ritian was actually knocked dozens of meters away.

After being knocked away, Hu Ritian felt intense pain, as if his face had been slapped to the point of death. However, the intense pain disappeared immediately after landing, leaving him seemingly unharmed, but the pain was still very real.

Before Hu Ritian could react, two aerial spears pierced through his chest.

"Ah!!!" Hu Ritian let out a scream that echoed in the space.

Hu Ritian hurriedly touched his chest and found that he was unharmed.

Hu Ritian hurriedly looked at the Queen not far away and shouted, "Wait..."

Before he could even speak, Hu Ritian felt his body being crushed. Two enormous spatial cubes sandwiched him between them, spinning relentlessly.

After the spatial cube disappeared, countless spears of the subspace pierced through his body.

"Ah!!!" Hu Ritian couldn't help but scream again.

"Now is the time for judgment!" As the Queen finished speaking, a snap of her fingers echoed throughout the space.

Countless black portals unfolded in this white space, and finally, countless spears of the subspace burst forth.

Hu Ritian could feel every inch of his skin being torn apart, his internal organs being pierced, and pain radiating from every part of his body, every bone, every inch of his skin, and every cell.

The screams continued incessantly.

Under the onslaught of countless Void Spears from the Queen, the endless pain caused Hu Ritian's memories of being Mei to gradually resurface until he fully remembered them.

"Wait!" Hu Ritian suddenly called out.

However, the Spear of Subspace still pierced through Hu Ritian's body.

Hu Ritian: "………………"

As Hu Ritian watched the Void Spear hurtling toward him, a black blade appeared in his right hand.

[Lightning - Burst]

The black sword in her hand emitted endless lightning. Centered on Mei, the power of lightning spread outwards, and the domineering lightning shattered the Spear of Subspace into nothingness.

Upon seeing this, the Queen stopped her attack and looked down at Hu Ritian, or rather, Mei.

"Oh, you finally remembered! Otherwise, that poor little girl would have cried for ages!" the Queen said with a mocking smile.

The Queen had long understood that Mei was unkillable in this space of consciousness, but every injury she inflicted made Mei feel real pain.

Mei took a deep breath, her legs trembling as she stood up. After recovering from the excruciating pain, she said helplessly, "Yes, I remember now, but the price was too damn high."

Mei looked at Kiana, or rather, Sirin, with a complicated expression.

Mei thought for a moment, then asked Sirin with a complicated expression, "How is Kiana?"

"She's still asleep in her subconscious. What, do you want to see her?" The Queen said, looking at Mei.

Mei looked at her and tentatively replied, "I do want to see her, but should I call you Sirin?"

"Whatever~ Call me whatever you want," Sirin said nonchalantly.

Mei recalled the plot and learned from the videos on Bilibili that the final outcome for her Herrscher personality seemed to be that she disappeared due to a clash with Kiana's will.

Mei herself wanted to try to save her, even though she had just tortured herself terribly, she still said, "Sirin, how can you let go of your hatred for humanity?"

Meanwhile, in the air, Sirin seemed to have heard a joke.

"Hahahaha!" Sirin burst into laughter.

Mei Yi: “…………”

After laughing, Sirin looked coldly at Mei with her golden eyes and said loudly, "Let go? How could I let go! Humans are filthy, selfish, and greedy, and should be destroyed in the Honkai."

When Mei saw what Sirin said, she shook her head and said gently, "Sirin, I know about the suffering you have endured in the past. Although those people were indeed beasts, most humans are still kind."

"They are brave, passionate, kind, and selfless, but we cannot negate all humans in the world just because of a very small minority of them."

"If one day you experience the warmth of this world and the care between people as an ordinary person, believe me, you will find that humanity is not as bad as you imagined."

At this moment, Mei spoke sincerely to Sirin from the bottom of her heart.

Sirin looked at Mei with disdain: "Heh, if it weren't for you, little girl, wanting to touch my long, black-stockinged legs earlier, I might have believed you a little bit~"

"Oh no!!! I have to fill the hole I dug myself!!" Mei thought with a bitter smile.

Mei thought for a moment, then made up her mind and sincerely said to Sirin, "Sirin, maybe you don't believe me now, but in the future, I, Mei, swear at this moment, that if anyone tries to kill you without harming the innocent, I will definitely stand in front of you. If the world wants to be your enemy, then I will draw my sword and fight against the world, protecting you until death!"

"Please give me a chance, and be willing to believe in humanity again!"

Looking at Mei, Xilin could sense the sincerity and determination in her eyes. For some reason, she felt a little flustered, but she still said coldly, "Tsk, stop being so self-righteous! Forget it, that little girl is about to wake up. I don't want to waste my breath on someone as self-righteous as you."

Mei looked at Sirin, her golden pupils turning sky blue. Miraculously, her clothes also changed, and Kiana had returned to normal.

After Sirin transformed back into Kiana, she fell directly from the sky, her face hitting the ground.

Mei quickly ran over and helped Kiana up, patting her cheek with her hand.

"Kiana, wake up, wake up!" Mei kept calling out.

Kiana, still half asleep in Mei's arms, opened her eyes and immediately saw the person she had been longing for day and night—that familiar face, that familiar purple hair. The longing in her heart burst forth instantly.

Kiana immediately hugged Mei's neck and cried out, "Waaah! Mei! Waaah, you...you're finally back!"

Mei patted Kiana's back with a hint of heartache, comforting her, "Yes, Kiana, I'm back."
