I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

"Miss Mei, we meet again. It's really unexpected to see you here."

“However, it seems I’m still pretty lucky,” Rita said with a smile, but the cunning in her eyes was unmistakable.

"So, Rita, what are you doing here?" Mei asked, puzzled.

"Hehe~ Miss Mei, I naturally have my own mission to complete here, and~ if I'm not mistaken, you're probably looking for Miss Kiana, right?" Rita said flippantly, her eyes seemingly carrying a provocative meaning.

"That's right, so do you know where Kiana is right now?" Mei asked seriously, her previous flippancy gone.

"Yes, I do know where Miss Kiana is."

"And I suspect that she is in a dangerous situation right now, after all, she was captured by those lunatics from World Serpent."

Mei felt anxious upon hearing this, because she was unaware of this part of the plot and was worried that Kiana might die due to her absence.

“Rita, I want to know her whereabouts,” Mei said directly.

"Hehe~ But Miss Mei, I want to make a deal with you. If you help me get the antidote, I will tell you where she is."

Rita stated her purpose directly, as her physical condition was not optimistic due to the previous injuries, and her exclusive weapon had been damaged by Mei, which greatly reduced her combat power.

If Mei agrees, her task will be much easier.

"Tsk... Fine, I agree. Let's get moving." Mei had no choice but to agree to Rita's request.

“Miss Mei, you’ve made the right choice. In this city, we’re on the same side. Now that we’ve reached an agreement, I’m counting on you, Miss Mei.” Rita said with a smile and gave Mei a polite bow.

"Got it, what do you want me to do? Quickly," Mei said speechlessly.

"Well then, Miss Mei, please follow me~"

[Lightning Explosion]!

Thunderclaps Everywhere!

[Lightning Slash]!

Inside the corridor, purple lightning flashed incessantly, annihilating one assassin after another, and the explosions from the lightning made the entire floor buzz.

Amidst the horde of assassins, a purple lightning figure darted swiftly, its sharp blade slaying them all.

With Mei piercing the head of the last corpse, all the enemies were eliminated.

Rita strolled over leisurely and praised, "Miss Mei's strength is truly formidable; even I am ashamed of my own inferiority."

"Heh, did you get what you wanted?" Mei said unhappily.

Mei dealt with all the assassins along the way by herself, and also encountered three or four Death Weavers. While she was fighting, Rita watched from the side.

Mei fought her way forward, while Rita leisurely followed behind her.

Although these assassins and cyborgs weren't a problem for Mei, she still felt like Rita was treating her like a laborer...

“I have done what you asked for. Now you should tell me where Kiana is,” Mei said, looking at Rita.

After Rita put away the antidote she had obtained, she said to Mei:

“Deep beneath the administrative building in this industrial zone, World Serpent built a laboratory where it conducts various studies related to Honkai.”

"The place where Miss Kiana is imprisoned should be there. I will give you the map and the route."

Rita patted herself down and then handed the documents to Mei.

"Well then, farewell. I hope we can work together as happily as we have next time we meet," Rita said to Mei with a smile.

As soon as Rita finished speaking, a knife suddenly appeared out of thin air, and Mei thrust it out, placing the blade against Rita's neck.

"What...does this mean?" Rita's tone turned cold, and she looked at Mei with sharp eyes.

"Rita, you must promise me one thing before you leave," Mei said coldly.

"What is it?" Rita had a bad feeling. Did Mei never intend to let her leave alive?

Just as Rita felt a surge of tension, she heard Mei say in a very cold tone:

“Rita, I hope no one else knows that I am Skywalker.”

Rita: ……………………

"Don't worry, Miss Mei, I promise you, no one else will know that you are the Comical Hero," Rita immediately assured her.

Mei put down her knife only after hearing Rita's assurance. Then, she quickly left to find Kiana, referring to the map and information.

Rita sighed helplessly only after Mei's figure disappeared from sight.

"Who would have thought that such a beautiful girl as Miss Mei would be the Comical Hero?"

"Now that the antidote is done, let me find out where these guys hid the Eos."

………………

On the other side, Mei looked at the map in her hand and after turning several corners, she finally saw an elevator.

"Tsk... I should be able to get to the underground lab by taking this elevator, right?" Mei said uncertainly, looking at the elevator in front of her.

But there was no time to worry about that now; I had no choice but to go in, even if it was a tough situation.

Mei started the elevator and it slowly descended, eventually reaching the ground floor.

Mei had only taken two steps out of the elevator when she heard a series of cracking sounds.

Meanwhile, Kiana finally smashed the glass, tore off the tangled IV tubing, stepped out of the experimental chamber, and breathed in the air of freedom.

Suddenly, alarms blared all around, and containment gates slowly opened. A gigantic, insect-like monster blocked her path, its carapace gleaming a hideous purple.

Kiana smiled slightly, just as she was about to fight, a flying knife crackling with lightning came flying through the air.

Faced with the throwing knife, the monster's carapace-like hard exterior defense was as useless as a bubble. The throwing knife pierced through the monster's skull without any resistance, killing it instantly.

"Kiana, I've finally found you!"

Kiana looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person dressed in black wearing a comical mask.

"Mei! What are you doing here?... You... you shouldn't be here! It's dangerous here," Kiana said excitedly, her eyes darting around nervously.

Mei ran straight to Kiana's side and anxiously checked her body for injuries. After confirming that she was unharmed, she asked with concern, "Kiana, how are you feeling now?"

"It's okay... Mei, I'm fine... But Mei, what are you doing here..." Kiana asked nervously and with a hint of confusion.

"What do you think? It was Rita who told me where you were." Mei tugged hard at Kiana's ear.

"I know I was wrong, Mei. I won't do it again next time... I won't do it again. Please be gentle..." Kiana pleaded.

Just then, Mei suddenly spoke up, "Kiana, you've really made me angry this time..."
