To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

It awaits her to solve it.

But she had no clue.

Chapter 16 Her True Purpose

Mei had already reached the crossroads of choices.

But she was fearless; in her past life's paradise, she seemed unusually brave, even reckless, completely lacking her usual caution.

Without hesitation, she chose the most direct approach—she went to Möbius's home and confronted him directly.

Looking at the green-haired figure's back, she asked directly and bluntly,

"Mebius, it's really not easy to find you."

Yes, Mei went directly to Mebius.

I don't know where she got the confidence to block the door and confront the most dangerous Ying Jie.

This situation even slightly surprised Möbius. She shifted her supple body, a smile playing on her lips before quickly disappearing, and asked in return,

"Hehe, big sister, it's you who's been avoiding me, isn't it?"

"He's afraid to get close to me, yet his friends are constantly asking about me... Hehe, big sister, don't you think this is just like 'unrequited love'?"

"You don't have to do this. I've always been waiting for you to come and do those fun things with me."

She licked her lips, a hint of provocation in her expression, unlike Alicia's teasing.

She gazed at him greedily, like a fine delicacy, prey laid out on a plate in the eyes of a hunter.

Mei merely frowned, not paying attention to the other person's gaze; she was more concerned with the answer—the answer to Paradise.

"Can't we communicate in a slightly more normal way? I'm here to talk to you about serious business."

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Mebius cursed under his breath and glared at Mei with a hint of hostility.

She frowned and said somewhat impatiently,

"Tch, this is so annoying... How did Alicia manage to do that? Was my imitation not good enough?"

She didn't understand why everyone felt there was such a big difference between her and Alicia.

If she had the same affability as Alicia… those people would have been tricked onto the lab table long ago. Sigh, it's really enviable, but unfortunately, the other party didn't make good use of her.

"...You even imitate people you hate."

Mei said, whether sarcastically or provocatively,

In front of this heroic figure, she tried her best to calm herself down and also tried her best to read something from his expression, about the true meaning he was hiding.

"If imitating her can help my experiment, then I certainly wouldn't mind giving it a try... even though it's a bit uncomfortable."

Möbius didn't care about this trivial matter; she only cared about whether the experiment and its results were successful.

As for imitating Alicia... although she wasn't happy about it, if it could make the process easier, there was nothing to say.

However, she still retained a sliver of curiosity.

"...So, you came to see me today...is there something you need?"

"Business."

"Oh, let's not waste everyone's time. You know, there's only one thing I really want to do—that is to tie you to the lab table and study you carefully and slowly... A living Herrscher, how intriguing."

"Okay."

Mei's words were very concise and clear, as if she were just saying hello normally, without any deep thought.

"Hey, I knew it... Wait, what?"

She looked at Mei's expression, which held disbelief, surprise, and a certain longing; her deep gaze suddenly revealed this.

Mebius's eyes widened, his snake-like pupils shrinking to thin slits.

Even looking at the other person's indifferent face, all the resentment and anger that had been there before vanished.

Nothing was more important than the experiment, she was absolutely certain of that.

But what... prompted her to make this decision? That's not important.

Importantly, she was quite certain that the mice wouldn't escape from the lab table.

So she laughed.

"Didn't you initially resist accepting that gift, you little guinea pig?"

“That’s right, but the information in Paradise is too chaotic and complicated… I need to leave, and before I leave, I want to at least witness the meaning of Paradise’s existence.”

Mei articulated her thoughts methodically, her gaze unwavering.

So, she reviewed her thoughts once more, closed her eyes, and nodded.

"Yes, that's it."
