I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

“Raiden Mei, you were just a little kid back then. I never imagined that you would grow into such a beautiful young lady when we met again~” Cocolia smiled.

"Heh~ No need to try to get close to me." Mei said bluntly, after all, she had no desire to have anything to do with the woman in front of her.

"Oh? Is that so? You're a prisoner now, and you talk to me like that?" Cocolia asked, her gaze sharpening.

"Stop talking nonsense. Where did that little girl named Chiko you kidnapped go?" Mei questioned. Although she had heard Bronya mention her, she still wanted to confirm it herself.

“Chiko?...Chiko...Oh~ I remember now, you mean her~” Cocolia’s smile was as cunning as a fox.

"So, what happened to Senko?" Mei unconsciously clenched her fists. Bronya had told her she was dead... Could she really be dead...?

"Haha, you must have been her good friend, but unfortunately... she's dead."

"That's impressive. She didn't survive the experiment and ended up as Deadpool, so we had to get rid of her."

"By the way, did you know? Before she died, she kept saying (...Mei, I'm sorry...Mei...Mei...please...forgive me...) until she died."

Cocolia laughed, wanting to see Mei's face contort upon hearing the news.

However, she was disappointed. Mei looked at her calmly, as if watching a clown performance.

"What? Don't you feel sad for her after hearing this news?"

"It's sad, really sad, but what's the point of crying? The dead can't be brought back to life," Mei said dejectedly.

"So, you're quite open-minded about it?" Cocolia asked, somewhat puzzled.

Mei looked at Cocolia with disdain and mocked her without any politeness:

"Heh, what does she amount to in front of you, you old fox? You even dared to harm your own daughter Bronya, and you still have the nerve to call yourself her mother? In my opinion, you're just a pathetic wretch who has lost his way."

"Snapped"

A loud slap echoed throughout the cell. When Mei came to her senses, she only felt a slight pain on her face. Turning her head, Mei looked at Cocolia and said cheekily, "Eh~ It didn't hurt~"

However, Cocolia forgot... Mei is a Valkyrie, while she herself is just an ordinary person. The pain wasn't in Mei's face, but in her own hand.

Mei looked at the other person's eyes, which were filled with endless coldness, and chuckled mockingly, saying again:

"What? Did I hit a nerve? You're completely inhuman right now! Do you really think you can succeed by abandoning your family and focusing solely on experiments, using any means necessary?"

"Oh my god~ This is hilarious~ Hehehe~" Mei laughed mockingly.

Since I've already been arrested and slapped, I have to keep mocking Cocolia to death; I can't lose in verbal combat!

"Hahaha... Uh!... Uh..."

Mei's laughter stopped abruptly as Cocolia grabbed her by the neck.

Cocolia's eyes flashed with undisguised murderous intent as she said viciously to Mei, "Raiden Mei, you should be glad you were useful for the experiment, otherwise you would already be dead."

"We Anti-Entropy have plenty of ways to deal with Valkyries like you!"

Even with her neck being choked, Mei forced herself to say, "A person like you who abandons family ties and uses any means necessary is destined to fail!"

"Finally... hahhhhh!"

Mei spat a mouthful of water onto Cocolia's face; this was her last act of defiance.

After calmly wiping the liquid off her face, Cocolia quietly left the cell and headed straight for a control room.

"Someone! Activate the high-voltage power to the device controlling Raiden Mei. I want to see if Raiden is afraid of lightning!" Cocolia said viciously.

On the other side, Mei's expression turned cold after seeing Cocolia leave, and she kept observing her surroundings.

The walls all around were made of high-tech titanium alloy, and the purpose of the device overhead was still unclear.

Mei moved her whole body, finding that the devices binding her were very secure. In addition, Mei noticed that there seemed to be a surveillance camera watching her from a corner.

Just as Mei was looking around for an opening, suddenly, a surge of energy shot straight to the top of her head.

"Zizzi"

The high-voltage current stimulated Mei, causing her body to convulse uncontrollably as she struggled desperately but was unable to move.

"Ahhh!"

After an unknown amount of time, the electric current finally stopped, and Mei fainted.

In the space of consciousness...

"So, Sister Lei~ are you really not going to help me?" Mei said, clinging to the Herrscher of Thunder's leg.

"Tsk, I won't help. You're not going to die anyway. Besides, you're such a waste. It'll be good for you to train yourself."

"If we are truly threatened, I will naturally take action, so let me go right now!"

The Herrscher of Thunder disgustedly pulled her leg out of Mei's arms.

After hearing this, Mei had no choice but to let go and stop pestering her.

Although asking Sister Lei is the fastest way to pass the game, if Sister Lei is unwilling, then you will have to pass the game on your own. After all, you can't rely too much on others.

Two days have passed...

Mei realized that she really couldn't escape...

He originally intended to summon the black blade to sever the device controlling his hands and feet, but when the black blade was summoned, it simply fell to the ground with a "thud," and he couldn't even take out the items inside.

What pains Mei the most is that because she scolded Cocolia before, she now gets sudden electric shocks every now and then. Luckily, Valkyries have good physical strength, otherwise she would have been dead long ago...

This time, Mei gritted her teeth and endured the electric shock, looking at Cocolia in front of her through the pain and saying, "You...you just wait..."

Cocolia looked at Mei with disdain, waved her hand, and ended the electric shock on Mei.

"Wait? I don't have that much time~ Too bad you're about to die." Cocolia laughed.

"What! What are you trying to say?" Mei suddenly felt a little panicked. If the previous times were torture, this time it seemed like she was going to be in deep trouble...

Cocolia seemed to sense Mei's worry and comforted her, "Hehe, it's nothing serious. It's just that we need to study the power of the Herrscher, so it's time to remove the [Conquest Gem] from your body. Don't worry, you won't die in much pain~"

"Alright, let's inject her with the medicine."

Mei didn't understand what was happening, but suddenly she felt something pricking her bound hands and feet, and could feel an unknown liquid being transported into her body.

Then, Mei felt a strong wave of dizziness, her eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and finally she slowly closed her eyes.

Cocolia looked at Mei in front of her and said, "Alright~ it's time to prepare to have someone take out the Conquest Gem and dissect her."

Cocolia then walked out of the cell, unaware that the camera in the corner had long been hacked by Bronya, who was using it to monitor everything.

Before the autopsy team arrived, a white furry ball kicked the door open with a loud bang.

"Mei, I'm here to save you!" Kiana cried out anxiously when she saw Mei trapped.

"Bronya, what are you doing here?" Kiana asked.

At that moment, Cocolia's voice came through the radio:

"Hehe, I didn't expect you guys to arrive so quickly. We could have dissected this little girl in a bit longer~"

"But it doesn't matter, my dear daughter Bronya, kill them!" Cocolia issued the order without any humanity.

"Bronya, don't let yourself be controlled, wake up!" Kiana shouted anxiously, tensely assuming a fighting stance.

At this moment, Bronya calmly said, "When Bronya was little, her parents died."

“In Bronya’s heart, Cocolia is like a mother.”

"However, Bronya met Mei, who, although sometimes just as worrisome as Kiana, is very kind to Bronya."

"Bronya doesn't want to hurt Mei either. Therefore, Bronya will not fight!"

"Kiana, take Mei with you quickly, Bronya has already burned the biochip."

Upon hearing this, Cocolia shouted, "What are you talking about? The biochip is implanted in your brain! If it burns out, are you saying you want to commit suicide?!"

However, Bronya turned around and smiled slightly, saying, "Bronya thinks that Mei is more important than her own life."

"Therefore, Bronya will no longer accept any orders that would harm Mei!"

Finally, Bronya looked at Mei with deep affection and said reluctantly, "Goodbye, Mei-neechan."

"Kiana, Mei is in your care now..."

After saying that, Bronya completely fainted and lost consciousness...

"Bronya!" Kiana quickly stepped forward and helped Bronya up.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get you and Mei away from here!"

Kiana used her dual pistols to destroy the equipment imprisoning Mei and rescued her.

Kiana cradled Mei in her arms and shook her repeatedly, shouting, "Mei! Mei! Wake up!"

"Mei, I'm sorry. I believe you'll forgive me when you wake up!"

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

Kiana slapped Mei several times, but Mei still didn't wake up. Looking at Mei's flushed face, Kiana couldn't bear to hit her anymore.

Then, holding Mei in her right arm and Bronya in her left, she ran outside.
