Watch Honkai Impact 3rd, and let fan creations save the world!

[Theresa]: "Since there is such a thing as a dark side in this paradise, and not all 13 heroes have appeared yet, does that mean the other heroes exist in this dark side?"

[Padofilis]: "I'm not from the dark side!"

Chapter 205 The Meaning of the Paradise of the Past

[Padofilis]: "No, really? Mei-nee is that brave?"

[Mébius]: "Big sister~ I'm really looking forward to your arrival~~"

[March 7th]: "It seems Dr. Möbius has ulterior motives!"

[Star]: "Since Alicia is the Pink Fairy, then Mebius must be the Green Snake Fairy!!"

[Möbius]: "What kind of weird nickname is that?"

[Alicia]: "Aren't you kind of cute, actually?"

"Oh dear, my wording was inappropriate and caused you to misunderstand. We have had disagreements on certain issues, but those were simply different choices arising from different perspectives."

[Star]: "Look, the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire are more united than the Pinocchio family."

[Theresa]: "As the main creator of the Fusion Warrior technology, why does she seem to have a rather poor relationship with these heroes?"

[Gui Naifen]: "Dr. Mebius seems to have the air of a mad scientist."

[Alicia]: "Oh dear, Mei, you've really misunderstood me this time. Mebius and I are the very best of friends!"

[Möbius]: "Hmph, who said you're a friend!?"

Kiana: "I know the answer to this question. Mebius is just being tsundere."

[Star]: "Still being stubborn!"

Pink crystal flowers bloomed beside Airi, and she took out her cute bow and arrow and aimed it at Mei.

"This must be the first time I've drawn a weapon in front of you. How about it, isn't the bow perfect for me?"

“Occasionally, I will personally step into the battlefield. This one is my favorite. The color matches this uniform very well, and there are many small details that echo each other. It is very elegant.”

Mei understood then that the test Airi had mentioned was a test of strength, so Mei naturally fought with all her might. After a fierce battle, Airi put away her bow and said:

"Sigh, I lost, you're too good! If others find out, we'll have to find a replacement."

"However, considering I was facing a Herrscher, I think I did pretty well, right?"

Seeing Airi trying to get praise from Mei even after losing, Mei directly pointed out: "You weren't fighting me seriously, Airi. You were just playing a game."

"Oh dear, didn't you also not use your full strength? Perhaps we were on the same wavelength, and we both stopped short of going all out."

"In short, you should have no problem facing Mebius now."

Kiana: "The future Mei is really strong! Go Mei!"

[March 7]: "Alice and I both use bows and arrows, but... Alice is so beautiful and elegant when she fights!"

[Star]: "March, don't you use a bow and arrow? You also seem to be able to condense six-phase ice, right? You can try Ellie's fighting style then!"

[March 7th]: "This... seems somewhat feasible? Come, Xing, take a look, this is a crystal flower I made using the Six-Phase Ice Hand!"

What's recorded is just this simple story.

[Bengte Walter]: "This is the meaning of the Paradise of the Past, proving that I once lived like this."

[Black Swan]: "This is also the meaning of 'memory,' proving that this civilization existed and is no different from the present, so that we can't even prove how they survived."

[Star]: "How come you can bring up memories for everything?"

[Black Swan]: "The Pure Land of the Past is simply a world of memories. Isn't that a vivid description?"

[Alicia]: 'Yes, the Land of the Dead is proof, proof that we existed, we fought, and then our story came to an end.'

[Star]: "This is bad! Could Onpharos be a story similar to Paradise?!"

[Fireworks]: "Little Gray Fur~ Don't you think about what kind of story could be called 'Heroic Chronicles'?"

Chapter 206 First Encounter with Möbius

[Star]: "Why did you have to say something so terrible!"

[Star]: "You're right, but rules are meant to be broken! I will definitely achieve a perfect ending!"

"Another leader of the heroes...you certainly have the depth and qualifications befitting him."

"Thank you, I think so too!"

"Then I'll head back to the lobby and wait for you. I hope you have a good time with Möbius."

Pink specks of light gathered in Mei's hand, gradually coalescing into the shape of a flower.

Mei, holding a pink crystal flower, asked in confusion, "What is this...?"

"Consider it a small gift, as a memento of your temporary graduation from here."

Airi sincerely wished Mei, who had come here, a bright future.

Mei watched Airi walk away, then turned to the portal beside her, silently encouraging herself, "Let's go. Mebius... he's on the other side of the portal."

[March 7th]: "Mei is about to meet Dr. Mebius, the good friend that Airi mentioned."

[Star]: "Can Mei beat Möbius, who is a researcher?"

[Silver Wolf]: "Of course we can't beat him. Don't let Möbius's appearance as just a researcher fool you. If that were all, how could so many heroes with superb martial prowess be afraid of him?"

Kiana: "Mei was amazing back then too!"

[Raiden Mei]: "Kiana, don't overestimate my strength."

That would be more accurate.

"What do you think, Möbius?"

[Padofelis]: "Mei-nee, please don't do anything rash!"

[Star]: "Mebius: Mei, I will spy on you, forever and ever..."

[March 7th]: "So Mebius really is still a child, just like in the PV?"

[Gresch]: "Grandma Mébius...is she actually a child?"

[Kosmo]: "...?"

[Bai Lu]: "You've all been on the Immortal Ship for so long, aren't you used to it yet? Maybe she's an immortal being?"

[Alicia]: "Has Dr. Mebius become younger?"

[Sakura]: "With the help of Senjaku?"

[The Lawgiver of Knowledge]: "How come I never noticed before that the traditional Chinese face-changing technique is displayed so vividly in Möbius?"

[Beng Tie Walter]: "Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; Dr. Mebius must have something on her mind regarding Mei!"

[Star]: "Is something interesting?"

[Honkai Welt]: "I should be doing research. During my time in the Paradise of the Past, I often study and conduct research with Dr. Mebius."

[Hua]: "...Doing research with Dr. Möbius?"

[The Lawgiver of Knowledge]: "I'm familiar with this. Is this a test subject? Being studied is also being studied together."

"The imprint... I will give it to you, as long as... you take one more step forward... just one step."

When Mei regained consciousness, she was already back in the hall, where Möbius was already waiting.

[Padofilis]: "It's over, it's over! Mei has fallen for Snake Sister's trap!"

Kiana: "Mebius! What did you do to Mei?"

[Mébius]: "Big sister~ do you want to know too? Then come see me at Paradise~ Oh, and remember to bring Mei along~"

[Star]: "Look, look, this is the consequence of not listening to advice. Mei fell for Mebius's treacherous scheme!"

[Fu Xuan]: "Mei was too arrogant. She knew that Mebius was not simple, yet she still wanted to go to Mebius's home field. However... her mark is a bit special. What's so special about it?"

[Black Swan]: "I have some guesses. The imprints, or rather, all the imprints, are inscribed with the memories and experiences of the heroes. So, will Mei, who fully accepts the imprints, be overwritten by Mebius's memories and become Mebius?"

[Sakura]: "...Very much in the style of Möbius."

………………

I'm a little late today. Don't ask why, I'm just catching up on homework—the analog electronics lab report book. It's been a whole semester's worth of stuff, and it's killing me with copying.

Chapter 207 Alicia is a traitor!?

Mei turned her head to look at Airi in confusion.

Ellie was very confused: "Traitor? What are you talking about? I'm not Su, I can't see what will happen in the future."

"But I believe in myself, just as I believe in everyone here, including you."

After Mebius left, Mei began asking Airi about the traitor, but Airi remained silent and changed the subject.

[Theresa]: "Wait, Mebius said Alicia is a traitor, and Mei is wary of all the heroes, so who should we believe!?"

[Star]: "I don't trust anyone! Because rules are meant to be broken!"

[Qingque]: "This paradise is truly full of mysteries. The function of this facility must have a deeper secret."

[March 7th]: "Aili didn't give a direct answer about the traitor at all. Could it be that she really is related to the traitor?"

[Danheng]: "...I am more inclined to believe that this word has a hidden meaning."

[Silver Wolf]: "It's not impossible that Alicia is the mastermind. After all, the most popular thing on the internet right now is that pink turns into black, and Alicia happens to be pink-haired."

Despite not having received the information, Mei did not give up and chose to continue exploring the paradise, inquiring about Alicia from other heroes.

Kevin believes that Mebius has never strayed from the path of fighting the Honkai, and that Alicia has never been a traitor.

Then, neither Airi, Sakura, nor Senju told her the answer about the so-called traitor.

But judging from the change in their tone, something must have happened.

After Mei had spoken with all the heroes who appeared, for some reason, the surrounding environment underwent a strange change.

"This is……"

“Nothing like this has ever happened in Paradise. Have I arrived in another region, or…”

"No, the Land of the Past... it does have some problems."

An unknown voice spoke, informing Mei of the current situation and indicating that by following her instructions, Mei would soon be able to return to reality.

But in Paradise, after interacting with so many heroes, Mei is no longer someone who is easily deceived. Moreover, the way this voice speaks is very similar to Mebius's.

But after her surroundings changed, Mei ultimately chose to believe the story that it was likely a case of death from overwork.

Kiana: "Something's wrong with Paradise of the Past! Mei, please don't let anything happen to you!"

[Klein]: "Paradise... the future has malfunctioned again..."

[The Book of Azure]: "Klein, please let me go! I don't want to work overtime!!"

[Klein]: "Although your technology is as useless as your two creators, all I need is your Soul Steel Computer."

[Broken Iron Welt]: "Could the changes in Paradise at this time also be related to the Herrscher of Corruption?"

[Herrscher of Knowledge]: "But... what exactly does 'traitor' mean? Why are you being so mysterious?"

[Bronya Zaychek]: "Herrscher of Knowledge, don't you have the class president's complete memories? Why don't you know either?"

[The Lawgiver of Knowledge]: "Huh? What does that old fogey know?"

Routine maintenance work.

"The defender of... then, you are also one of the heroes?"

Klein looked at Mei with an expression as if she were an idiot and said:

"Records indicate that abnormal conditions occurring in Paradise may cause irreversible damage to the visual or logical processing functions of the test subjects."

"...Alright, I know you're not a hero. Then why are you here?"

"...Because it's my job."
