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

Why am I writing this? I got ripped off again while looking for video footage.

By the way, I'll try my best with tomorrow's update.

I'm going home, from Gansu to Shandong, a full day's train ride, you know?

Chapter 243 The team splits into two groups and begins the investigation!

[Theresa]: "Mei still suspects that it was one of the heroes who did it, which is why she accused Kevin of being an unqualified leader."

[Bengtie Welt]: "How could someone unaware of the truth possibly imagine that a Herrscher had infiltrated Paradise?"

【Bai Lu】: "Gresh is so amazing! How does she manage to see other people's colors?"

[March 7th]: "Speaking of which, Gretchen actually arrived at this archive room even before Mei and Kevin, and yet Kevin and Mei haven't noticed her yet!?"

[Fireworks]: "Don't forget Gretchen is also a heroine~ What's more, from what I know right now, the older Gretchen is incredibly capable. She single-handedly raised seven children while everyone else was on the run, don't you think, Mr. Walter?"

[Kosmo]: "...?"

[Aponia]: "...What...what happened? Please tell me."

[Bengtie Welt]: "Hanabi, your description... you're just looking for fun, aren't you?"

[Star]: "What is this? Eden who unconditionally believes in Ellie, Hua who wants to tell Mei everything but actually knows nothing, and Mebius who has the toughest tongue in Paradise, I can see that you are all highly skilled!"

[March 7th]: "But... why doesn't Erosion want Mei to leave? Mei is the only thing Erosion can't erase from Paradise, right?"

[Hu Lang]: "Idiot, have you forgotten something outside of Paradise? It's our Lord. Once the Lord finds out about the anomalies in Paradise... I can only wish Corruption good luck."

[Qingque]: "It seems... even if the erosion completely devours Paradise and brings us to reality, isn't the first hurdle we face Kevin? Paradise is so important, and this time it's even the Herrscher that Ellie has been longing for who is here to undergo the trial. I don't believe Kevin hasn't been keeping an eye on Paradise at all times."

Kiana: "...Erosion means we're going to lose no matter what, isn't it?"

[Star]: "There are still differences. First: Mei is released, Kevin goes to Paradise, and the erosion is sent! Second: Mei doesn't go out, but the Heroes win, and the erosion is sent! Third: Mei doesn't go out, the Heroes lose, and the erosion comes to reality: facing Kevin! Fourth: Mei doesn't go out, the Heroes lose, but Kevin doesn't pay attention to Paradise, and the erosion successfully escapes!"

[March 7th]: "This... no matter how you calculate it, the survival rate of the erosion is frighteningly low."

"On the other hand... only Sakura here can be considered someone he can acknowledge, even if he himself would never admit it."

Under Kevin's questioning, Aponia also admitted that she knew Sakura already knew about Rin and felt that Sakura might come to her for revenge, which was why she sent Gretchen away.

But Kevin shook his head; he didn't think so, because Kevin trusted his companions!

But he also wondered why Aponia would hand it over to Gretchen.

[March 7th]: "What are they talking about? Were these heroes really destroyed by the corruption? Or have they discovered the corruption and are plotting against her in secret?"

[Star]: "Does this scene look familiar? This is the upgraded version of Pinocchio Werewolf – Paradise Werewolf!"

[Danheng]: "The key should be the crystal flower that Alicia received from the members who attended that banquet, right?"

Kiana: "Could this be an important tool for counterattacking the corruption?"

[Gallach]: "It's really... These heroes each have their own plans, they suspect each other, they erode each other in the shadows, they sow discord, it's truly a paradise."

………………

The next chapter will be in a while, probably this afternoon?

I'm home now, and I miss the school's heating. The sub-zero temperatures make it impossible for me to type anything.

Let's talk about it when it gets warmer!

Chapter 244 sets the stage for Paradise Werewolf!

These kinds of conjectures—

—But a moment later, she knew that was absolutely impossible.

She knew that everything here was in danger of disappearing... except for Kevin.

If that were to actually happen, then... the pillars supporting the sky would be doomed forever.

So Aponia said to Kevin, "Well then, goodbye, Kevin—I hope we meet again."

[Star]: "No! Tell me, trust isn't used in this kind of situation!"

[March 7th]: "Judging from the description, it seems that Erosion has already set its sights on Kevin, but because Aponia believes in Kevin's strength, she hasn't told Kevin?"

[Silver Wolf]: "Happy, Kevin is next to be killed. The flag has been set."

[Blue Sparrow]: "This should be the closest we've come to detecting erosion so far, right?"

In response, Sue said, "Kevin, I have absolutely no trust in you—you don't need to force yourself to explain."

Kevin said, "I understand. There's one thing I must entrust to you first."

Kevin stood there, showing no sign of moving. Then, in the next instant, a brilliant blue light emanated from him.

It was a light that could engulf everything—even with eyes open, one would be unable to see anything around them.

But Su's eyes suddenly opened at that moment, flashing with an unreadable emotion.

Kevin then took his leave. In Sue's eyes, the future of Paradise was bleak; perhaps, after this, it would cease to exist. But Kevin and Sue continued towards their predetermined destiny.

[Fu Xuan]: "It seems that Kevin and someone else have realized that someone is playing tricks... It also seems that the abnormal data of Sakura and Qianjie may be part of the plan."

[Vilvie]: "As for the heroes, since something is causing trouble, then we should catch it."

[Möbius]: "With so many clues, does it really think it can hide it?"

[Aponia]: "If the cost is not considered, most heroes could destroy it."

[Star]: "It's a pity this erosion is such a sneaky thing, it just won't show up. What can we do?"

[March 7th]: "The heroes are truly fearless in the face of death. Kevin and Sue both knew that after this incident, Paradise would soon vanish, but they still resolutely walked towards the predetermined future..."

【Eden】: "Miss March 7th, we are merely echoes of the past, so why should we fear death?"

Even with only a 10% chance of success, you want us to put our only bet on the table.

“…No, I promise.”

Kevin's voice was firm and cold: "Because it's obvious... other plans can't even come close."

"Of course I know that the real me still exists in reality—if it were her, she would surely refuse such a gamble."

"...But I am not."

"The long years he carried alone also do not belong to me."

[Star]: "Guess who this mysterious person is?"

[The Lawgiver of Knowledge]: "First, exclude what is flowery!"

[Hua]: "...It certainly couldn't be me."

[Fireworks]: "This is really hard to guess~ The person who can act as Kevin's external brain must be someone we know, and someone very smart...Vilvie or...Mebius?"

[Fu Xuan]: "It seems that some of the heroes already know about the existence of the Erosion, but the reason they haven't told anyone... seems to be that they don't want the Erosion to know that the heroes already know about its existence?"

[March 7th]: "...Alright, as expected of Thousand Calamities, as long as the Paradise is burned down, then no one will be able to hide here."

[Star]: "Oh~ In this paradise full of riddle-makers, only honest Hua can give us some comfort!"

【Kafka】: "Without the bond that connects the heroes, and even the leader of the heroes is no longer here, there is not much left in the heroes."

Chapter 245 Kevin... is dead?!

Faced with the onslaught of Qian Jie, Hua Yiran stepped forward, but Su took another step forward and asked Qian Jie about Ying, because the abnormal data that Qian Jie had shown earlier was completely consistent with what Ying was showing now.

On the contrary, Qianjie became even angrier when Su mentioned Ying, and angrily believed that Su had no right to mention her and that Ying was definitely not a traitor!

“We should have known this day would come when we were deceiving her—but she is never a traitor! Neither then nor now!”

"Shouldn't Aponia pay the price for this? If Sakura had just asked, I would have killed that woman long ago!"

With Su repeatedly mentioning Sakura, Qian Jie decided to take direct action. Su then activated the Thousand Realms Cycle, temporarily banishing Qian Jie.

[Star]: "I never expected that the hot-tempered Qianjie and Ying would actually be good friends?"

[Silver Wolf]: "This is really unexpected. Perhaps, apart from Alicia, the most trustworthy hero in Qianjie's eyes is Sakura."

[March 7th]: "Why does Qianjie believe there are traitors among the heroes? It's been 50,000 years, why wait until now to take action?"

[Tail]: "Why not? The Herrschers who come to Paradise are Erosions. It's reasonable that one of the Heroes is controlled, or rather, that the Erosion directly impersonates a Hero to create chaos in Paradise, right?"

To a distance that should not be maintained.

While maintaining this distance, Sue explained the current situation to everyone:

"Although we have no leads yet, we have reason to believe that one, or at least one, among the heroes has become a traitor..."

"...and he or they."

"We are trying to process the other memories one by one."

Regarding this matter, the first person is currently investigating, and their fate is unknown. The second person, Ellie, has been confirmed dead. Aponia is also unable to intervene due to her special circumstances. Eden will take charge of the situation from now on.

Within Eden's sight, Su keenly sensed that Eden still held onto the hope that Ellie would survive.

With everyone else gone, only Su, Hua, and Mei remained at the scene.

Su also told Hua about what he had told Kevin, and Hua understood that, in his memory, the last time Kevin entrusted him with something that was extremely dangerous.

This time will be no exception.

"So, Hua, you should know why I said earlier... that it would be handed over to Eden. It was something I had planned all along, wasn't it?"

The girl did not hesitate; she nodded firmly.

"So……"

The familiar white light reappeared, enveloping Su and Hua together.

"...Let's set off."

Kiana: "Could it be that Yingjie really betrayed us?"

[Herrscher of Knowledge]: "Hey, didn't I already say it was the Herrscher of Corruption who did this? I know those heroes well, how could they betray us? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

[Qingque]: "Is it because Yingjie has so many internal conflicts that they're about to explode, and they're so eager to kill each other that they don't trust each other?"

[Star]: "Little Sparrow, you just didn't use the inequality properly. My trust in him ≠ I don't want to kill him. The inequality is the answer!"

[March 7]: "However, Eden and Ellie have a really good relationship, just like Kevin and Sue, with absolute trust and unconditional trust."

[Alicia]: "Of course, that's my precious Eden!"

[Padofilis]: "Brother Kevin and Brother Su can be considered childhood sweethearts. According to the rumors from the Fire Moth, if either Brother Kevin or Brother Su were a girl, then Sister Mei would have no chance."

Kevin: "..."

[Su]: "..."

[Fireworks]: "Isn't it interesting~ Don't you think so, Miss Vita who abandoned Gretsch~"

[Kosmo]: "...!"

The white light gradually faded, and with it, Hua and Su's lights also disappeared.

Meanwhile, the strange phenomenon in the distance... or perhaps, finally descended from the sky—it was the message they had been waiting for, trying to put down the last piece of cold iron in everyone's hearts.

Countless sheets of white paper fluttered down from the sky. Mei caught one, and the words written on it made her pupils dilate in shock; she was completely incredulous.

The words "countermeasures" were densely packed on top, bearing a chilling resemblance.

"This is impossible."

Mei instinctively denied it, not to mention that she had never heard that it had been repaired.

—At least the content of the text itself is unbelievable enough.

Faced with this situation, what would wise sages from ancient times say?

Sue recalled the scene when Kevin entrusted her with the task last time:

"Su, Hua. I'm entrusting the rest to you."

"This is the last chance before we get into trouble."

"I must...put my own heart into the gun barrel for this."
