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

—Different from the last time.

"If one day, simply pulling the trigger on me like this could save me..."

"Kevin, what would you do?"

—On those pages where no lies would ever appear, only one sentence lay there, repeating itself endlessly.

"Kevin...is dead?!"

Mei held a blank sheet of paper, remained silent for a moment, and then read out the unbelievable news in shock.

[Star]: "Kevin...is dead?!"

[Theresa]: "Kevin and that mysterious man's plan seems to have failed. Is a 10% success rate really too low?"

[March 7]: "How can we fight like this? Our strongest fighter has been killed, but we haven't even seen Erosion yet."

[Gold Sand]: "Perhaps... Kevin's current situation is also part of the plan?"

【Gold Sand】: "To risk one's life in the gun barrel, to survive after facing death, is more in line with Yingjie's plan."

Chapter 246: Split up!

[Potio]: "My goodness, you little cutie, you really meant it, didn't you?"

[Qingque]: "Such a beautiful file, it can't be just meant to be torn to pieces, can it?"

[Star]: "So, we're going to look at the remaining eleven files, breaking them down bit by bit, just like Ellie and Kevin did?"

[March 7th]: "No, no way, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

【】: "Hehe, guess?"

Theresa: "Oh no, it seems the Herrscher of Corruption already exists in reality!"

[Bengtie Welt]: "No, according to the records, it was only after the Herrschers of the outside world died that the Herrschers of Paradise began to take action against the Heroes."

[Silver Wolf]: "It seems so. Do you remember that anonymous chat room from the beginning?"

[Bronya Zaychek]: "Bronya remembered that in the chat room it was mentioned that they were unaware of the outside world at first, and then they multiplied in Paradise."

Because of their existence, the heroes could no longer trust each other.

Eden sighed, “It seems we must admit that a veil of mist is now draped over us. Perhaps… this is a situation the conspirators would be happy to see.”

The heroes and villains valued different things, so to prevent them from continuing their confrontation, Eden suggested that they split up and protect what was most important to them.

On their journey together, Eden asked Mei to go to Velvet and tell her about the current situation.

However, Mei was somewhat surprised by the current situation, as Eden had chosen to become the leader.

Eden smiled sadly and said, "Really? Indeed... that doesn't fit the impression I usually give off, does it?"

"Yes, Miss Mei... Even I have those moments."

Eden reached out her hand into the distance, and golden light emanated from her fingertips...

"A beautiful flower, isn't it? Just like that."

“I always carry it with me, it reminds me of her appearance, her smile... her love for everyone.”

Eden looked tenderly at the crystal flower in his hand: "And now, just when I was almost swallowed by sorrow... it is this light that has once again shown me the way."

"This is what it told me... Go stand in the spotlight and connect with everyone, just like she used to do."

"Otherwise, wouldn't everything she left behind... just disappear?"

"Eden..."

Mei's soft murmur reached Eden's ears, pulling her out of her emotional reverie.

[Star]: "Eden...it's so heavy! I almost thought I saw Uncle Yang's black hole!"

【Broken Iron - Void Treasury】: "Star, who do you think first controlled the Star of Eden?"

[Alicia]: "I never expected my dear Eden to care about me so much. I'm so happy, really."

[Star]: "As expected of the Queen of Paradise! See that, Kiana, take note!"

Kiana: "...Actually, Alicia isn't that bad."

【Bronya Zaychek】: "Bronya kindly reminds you that tsundere is not suitable for paramecia."

I'm sorry, but I cannot reveal everything without those individuals' permission.

"More than a talisman, it's a token, a key... sealing a hidden past within these vibrant colors."

During her conversation with Eden, Mei also told him about the time she and Alicia spent in Paradise.

Then, they analyzed the clues that were being presented, but in Mei's eyes, it was clear that Eden did not believe that a true paradise existed.

After exchanging information, Mei headed to Velvet's workshop.

Before she even got close to Vilvie, she found herself in the midst of the great magician's performance.

"Oh dear, not only did he run backstage in the middle of the show, but he also threatened the magician. This audience member is really something..."

"Enough, Velvi... This is not the time for lighthearted banter."

"Why? Because Kevin is dead?"

"You... already knew?" Mei seemed somewhat surprised.

Vervi was completely unconcerned about this:

"Ah, don't look at me like that. Those paper scraps falling from the sky are everywhere; it's hard not to notice them."

Silver Wolf: "Very good, it seems we won't see the meaning of this crystal flower until the very end."

[Padofelis]: "As expected of Sister Velvi... she's just so open-minded?"

[Blue Sparrow]: "Judging from this, Virvi seems to be somewhat suspicious."

[March 7th]: "It's unlikely to be a traitor, but it's very likely the mysterious person who told Kevin about the plan!"

[Star]: "Kevin is very familiar with her and very smart. It is indeed very likely that she is working with Velvi. Moreover, she has several personalities. Maybe it is one of the Velvi who is working with Kevin."

[March 7th]: "In that case, wouldn't Wilvie be both the mysterious person who helps Kevin and the one who betrays Yingjie?"

I think I should stick to a fixed time for posting chapters, like 8 AM.

As for why?

Because I work from 8 AM!

Chapter 247 Cooperation with Virvi

Faced with Mei's surprise, Velvet remained nonchalant: "Memory entities are originally people who are already dead, so they are not a foreign concept to us."

"—Oh, I know what you're trying to say, not everyone's dead, right?"

"But that's for you. When heroes leave behind their memories, without exception they all have the determination to die and the preparation to sacrifice themselves."

Although she seemed calm about Kevin's death, she was now very curious. Regarding Sakura, she also frankly admitted that Sakura had received the Seven Thunders of Purification from her.

"You mean, you noticed her unusual behavior but didn't stop her?" Mei keenly sensed something was wrong.

"Don't say that. What do you think I could do? Stand in front of her and get cleaved in two?"

"Why are you so concerned about Sakura's affairs? Could it be... that you suspect Sakura killed Kevin?"

The great magician's face was filled with curiosity.

"Just in case, I'll add one more thing: you'd better give up that idea. To take down Kevin all by yourself without alerting anyone? How is that even possible?"

"In this respect, I am undoubtedly an expert. I have probably made dozens of times more attempts than the clothes that Qian Jie'e burned."

When talking about this, Vervi's face was full of pride:

"All the weapons developed by Velvi to target Kevin total more than four figures, but so far none have been able to achieve this goal, whether in reality or in Paradise."

"Nobody can do this—I've been racking my brains every day trying to figure out how to take him down."

[Star]: "Vilvie: I have ample theoretical and practical experience on how to take down Kevin!"

[Silver Wolf]: "Hilarious, because it's never actually succeeded. Kevin must be cheating!"

[Padofilis]: "It's normal. I just can't believe how Boss Kevin could defeat a tank-class Honkai Beast as tall as a building with a baseball bat when he was still an ordinary human?"

[Bronya Zaychek]: "No, Bronya thinks there's a kind of beauty that's filled in with your feet."

Seeing that Mei still didn't quite understand, she added, "It means you can delete the entire Paradise of the Past with one click."

Vilvie clearly didn't want to continue the conversation, so she brought up the other heroes. In Vilvie's words, everyone was a suspect, even the deceased Kevin.

"So you see—the killer obviously can't be any of us."

"This conclusion... seems to contradict your previous claims."

Vervi said to Mei as a matter of course, "I still choose to believe my companions, and to do that, I must first doubt them, then gradually clear everyone of suspicion until I find the truth."

[Padofelis]: "Wow, I never expected Sister Velvi to trust us so much!"

[Theresa]: 'Are all of Kevin's weapons this abstract, except for that weapon number 666?'

[Star]: "If Kevin can be solo killed by something like this, I'll laugh at him for the rest of my life."

[Fu Xuan]: "The Armed 666 that Miss Wilvi mentioned in the group before we came here should be the key to this battle, the key to taking the Erosion down with us."

[March 7th]: "The erosion in Paradise should also lead to this clue, right? Please don't let her destroy it!"

After all, for a detective, the most important thing is to prove their innocence.

Mei still had some doubts about the suggestion; Velvi was too mysterious, and she couldn't fully trust her yet.

Vivi knew what impression she made on Mei, so she first let Mei and the fairy Airi tour the amusement park.

Mei's voice choked with emotion as she faced the fairy Airi, who looked remarkably like Alicia herself. The fairy Airi treated Airi's disappearance as a game of hide-and-seek and led Mei on a tour of the amusement park.

Here, Mei could feel Airi's whimsical ideas and dedication to building this amusement park at all times. Then, accompanied by Airi's remarkably similar voice, Mei's heart felt even more sorrowful.

After saying goodbye to the fairy Airi, Mei returned and found Velvet.

But just as they were about to set off, many strange, faded monsters appeared around them, which of course did not pose a challenge to the combination of a hero and a herald.

After the battle, Mei asked Velvet where the monsters came from, but Velvet didn't know either. Mei then realized that she had always thought these monsters were Gretsch's creations, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

After hearing Mei's explanation, Velvet suggested that they just ask Little Gretsch directly.

Our gaze fell upon Gretchen.

After so many things had happened, even a young painter couldn't paint anything, so Kosmo suggested they go for a walk to clear their heads.

On the way, Gretchen noticed some strange colors. When she followed them, she discovered that they were a group of monsters. After easily eliminating them, Gretchen also discovered the source of the strange colors—a faded, rush-class Honkai Beast.

After eliminating it, more appeared around him, so Kosmo couldn't keep an eye on it anymore and protected Gray behind him.

But before he could even make a move, Mei, who had arrived at the scene, struck them all down with lightning.

[Star]: "Great! Mei has now completely transformed into Airi's form. What kind of dead white moonlight copy is this Airi holding?"

[Silver Branch]: "Such a pure and beautiful girl..."

[Su Chang]: "The 'Universe Praise Cult' has started again. Is this what it means to praise everyone you meet?"

[Gui Naifen]: 'Shangshang, you need to understand, if even the Pure Beauty Knight doesn't praise someone, I, Gui Zi, can only wish him strength.'

[March 7th]: "Is the erosion almost fully developed now? Why are these faded monsters everywhere now? It's completely different from when Mei first entered Eternal Paradise."

[Theresa]: "Whatever it is, the heroes need to come up with their plans now, or it will really be too late."

Chapter 248 What is a hero?

"Oh? In that case, there are still some there."

"Gresch, can you track the scent of those monsters?"

The little painter nodded: "Hmm...but...there's only a little left."

“Let’s go take a look,” Mei decided.

"Two more assistants have joined us, which reminds me of the time I performed with Kosmo."
