Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"You idiot subordinate, aren't you going to explain this to me?"

They even went after the headmistress! How could someone so petite possibly fit inside? This stupid subordinate is completely hopeless; she urgently needs to be locked up in the studio and reformed through labor.

"Yes, Mr. Xia Yuan... Aren't you going to explain to Bronya and me why the other person is our one and only true love, and about the so-called issue of blood relations?"

[What?! Xia Yuan's child! Xia Yuan, you have to explain this to Ai Li today! Miss Pink Fairy isn't even pregnant yet, how could this little girl who suddenly appeared be pregnant?!]

Faced with the relentless questioning of the two people and the fairy, Xia Yuan quickly looked towards Miss Hei Xi, who was holding Xiao Shi by a chain in the distance, and gave her a pleading look. Miss Hei Xi, please save her! Miss Hei Xi! Please come and save your best friend...

Ms. Kuroki, who had planned to watch the show from the sidelines, sighed helplessly.

Why do I always end up cleaning up the messes left by bad guys? But I can't help it, I was bewitched and agreed to their requests. If I had known it would be this troublesome, I wouldn't have agreed.

Miss Hei hope slowly walked over and lifted Xiao Yuexia, who was tightly hugging Xia Yuan, up from behind.

“Bronya, Mei, don’t be fooled by this little short-legged thing. The bad guy probably picked her up on the road and she’s been clinging to him ever since. He said she came here by chance from another world and isn’t the Bishop Theresa we know. You could think of her as a clone of Theresa.”

"Hmph, I'm not some short-legged creature. Humans saved me, and I'm here to repay their kindness. Put me down right now! I'm carrying their child. If you accidentally hurt me, you'll be hurting them!"

"Hey, don't try to twist the facts. What 'flesh and blood'? I think you've just eaten too much. Isn't your stomach full of that bad guy's blood? On the way here, I saw you constantly gnawing on his finger. You need to drink his blood to stay able to move, right?"

Struggling to break free from Miss Hei hope under the moonlight, just as her scheme was about to fall apart, Xi'er's somewhat puzzled voice suddenly reached everyone's ears from the side.

"But the other me, don't you already have Xiao Yuan's baby?"

[Oh, so you were the one who hid the best! Pretty girls are always the best at deceiving people. No wonder you ruined Miss Pink Fairy's plan earlier; now I know why.]

Immediately afterwards—

Everyone except Xia Yuan stared intently at Xi'er, seemingly confirming the accuracy of the information.

"Um... Xiao Yuan, my other self, did I say something I shouldn't have?" Seele asked the two of them in a soft, sweet voice.

No, just that one sentence was enough to make him die without a burial place. If he didn't explain clearly, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Sea of ​​Quanta. "Wait... Seele, we can't say things like that. When did I have a child with Miss Black Seele?"

The scene became increasingly chaotic and out of control.

With Xia Yuan joining the fray, everyone's attention was now focused on Miss Hei Xi. She was really unlucky; she should have known better than to help the bad guy out of trouble. Now she'd been dragged into this mess.

Helpless, Miss Hei hope had no choice but to take out the small quilt she had hidden under her clothes and confess to everyone:

"How could I possibly have that bad guy's child? It was all just a plan we came up with together after I ate too many cookies that day, hoping Seele would pay more attention to me..."

Miss Kuroki showed everyone the small quilt she had just taken out, but the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was bound by chains, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Chapter 505 Mei, Yaya, please let me explain!

After being dragged and bullied by Black Seele all the way, isn't this the chance for revenge?

And that customer is really disloyal and ungrateful. I asked for help so many times and he didn't come to my rescue, even though I was fighting for him. Not only did he not get any credit, but he didn't even show any effort... Humph, just you wait and see!

The Lawyer of Knowledge organized her thoughts, cleared her throat a few times, and said:

"Ahem... Oh dear, wait a minute, sir, I remember you wanted me to repay you with my body before."

"Bronya, Mei, think about it. This customer doesn't even spare a little kid like me who's only a few years old. How could he possibly spare Seele? Maybe, somewhere you don't know, your child is already old enough to run errands~"

[Paying for her with her body?!]

Miss Kuroki quickly gagged Ms. Shiki with a chain to prevent her from stirring things up again.

"Bronya, Mei, don't listen to Xiaoshi's nonsense. Nothing really happened between me and that bad guy..." She tried her best to explain and clarify the relationship between the two of them, but when she said it, even Miss Kuroki herself didn't quite believe it.

That day... that day at dusk, the one where that bad guy rubbed against me from behind doesn't count!

"Yes, Duck, Mei, Airi, I swear to God... My relationship with Ms. Kuroki is purely platonic. You could even call her my best friend. Nothing ever happened between us. Wait, Airi, don't pinch my cheek...!"

I was originally planning to say some good things about Shi Bao in front of Fu Hua, but the other party betrayed me first.

Even though Xia Yuan and Miss Hei Xi tried their best to explain and clarify, the seeds of doubt had already been quietly planted in everyone's hearts. Now they urgently needed something to distract Ai Li, Yue Xia and the others. If they continued to drag things out like this, he might become two Xia Yuans.

In the struggle—

Xia Yuan's gaze shifted up and down until he noticed that there seemed to be an extra, non-existent eighth person inside the stronghold.

Could it be the Lawbinder of Domination?!

"Aili, Xiaoyuexia, wait a minute before you pull us. Haven't you noticed that there seems to be an extra person among us?"

[Xia Yuan, you're not allowed to scare cute fairies! Pretty girls are always powerless against ghosts and monsters. If you're going to catch someone, catch this person who's ruining Airi and Mei's fun!]

Fairy Ellie pulled out her magic wand, warily surveying her surroundings and pointing it at Miss Kuroki.

"Hey, is it necessary to hold a grudge against such a tiny little thing? You bad guy, aren't you going to do anything about your armed puppet?"

Mei, on the other hand, thought of the Ruler of Domination.

"Could it be that the other party also followed Mr. Xia Yuan in and is now hiding in the crowd?!"

Bronya, Seele, and others shared the same thought as Mei. They looked at each other and surveyed the surroundings of the base, seemingly trying to find the eighth person who shouldn't exist.

Xia Yuan suddenly squatted down and looked at the soles of everyone's feet. "I can already see your little toes sticking out. I'll count to three, don't force me to pull you out."

Dr. Ai Yin slowly walked out from the corner.

She seemed to have concealed herself with some kind of optical camouflage, but unfortunately, she seemed to be an inch too short, with her little feet just exposed. She pushed up her intellectual-looking dark blue glasses, then raised her hands and walked towards the crowd in a gesture of surrender.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, you might not believe it, but I just happened to hear the noise and was passing by..."

"I don't think so. If you were just passing by, why would you hide in a corner and refuse to come out? Instead, you've been secretly eavesdropping for a long time. Or are you the Herrscher of Dominion in disguise?"

Xia Yuan countered with a question.

Faced with the other party's persistent questioning, Ai Yin neither denied nor admitted it, but simply sighed and explained with some helplessness:

"It's because I was afraid that you, Mr. Xia Yuan, might have a prejudice against me and be holding a grudge against me, so I had no choice but to hide in a corner and silently watch your every move. I'm already very satisfied just to be able to see you from afar..."

Dr. Ai Yin brushed the curls behind her ear.

"Hmph, don't try that on me. I almost believed you, but next time, Ai Yin, please show some expression on your face. That would make it seem more real."

"Really? Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Xia Yuan. I'll be more careful next time." As she spoke, Ai Yin pinched the corner of her lips with her fingertip and gave Xia Yuan a big smile. "However, I might be able to help you get out of your current predicament, Mr. Xia Yuan."

Ai Yin pulled out an instrument resembling a radar device from behind her.

"This is a small invention that Dr. Tesla developed in his spare time. It was originally intended to detect Honkai energy reactions, but I made a slight modification to it. It can also detect biological genetic information. Just have Seele test it, and the biological information and data it detects will not lie. I believe it will definitely prove your innocence, Mr. Xia Yuan."

Xia Yuan was somewhat surprised that Ai Yin would be so kind as to help him.

He looked at Ai Yin, hoping to glean her thoughts from her expression. He saw Ai Yin's lips trembling slightly, as if she were expressing some kind of apology. In that case... it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, after all, he and Miss Hei hope were absolutely innocent.

"How do I use this thing? Why does it show 0 points?"

Miss Hei hope aimed the instrument at herself and fiddled with it, then pointed it at the little treasure that was still rolling around on the ground. The instrument still showed: 0 points.

"Doctor, is your equipment broken?"

Miss Kuroshi angrily patted the instrument, swung the device in the direction of Bronya and Mei, and the index suddenly jumped and changed.

[Perfect score!]

"Huh? Something seems to have changed, Doctor. The score for Bronya and Mei has changed to 0. Is there any specific meaning between 0 and 0? Or is the machine malfunctioning?"

After hearing Miss Kuroki's answer, Dr. Ai-in revealed a meaningful expression.

"The machine might be malfunctioning."

However, Mei and Bronya, who had originally wanted Xia Yuan to explain, unexpectedly stopped asking him questions. Feeling guilty, the two tacitly retreated to a distance out of everyone's sight...

Chapter 506 Bronya and Mei, feeling guilty

Bronya and Mei seemed to be deliberately avoiding someone's gaze and eyes.

Others may not know, but only Ai knows that the number displayed on the instrument screen is 100%, which means that Bronya and Mei's biological information has not been damaged in any way. A perfect score naturally means that Bronya and Mei's biological information has been increased by one.

As for what the extra portion was, the answer was obvious. Ai Yin glanced at Xia Yuan beside her with a very subtle look in her eyes.

"This is truly an unexpected gain. I originally just wanted to make amends to Mr. Xia Yuan, express my apology, and help him get out of his current crisis. I never expected that he would bring me such a huge surprise. It seems that he has become more proactive since waking up from his coma."

With Bronya and Mei suddenly falling silent, the tense atmosphere in the base began to ease.

But suddenly at this moment—

A heart-wrenching shout echoed through the stronghold, and Dr. Furry Lobster appeared before them, looking utterly dejected.

"Ah—who, who tore down the gate I painstakingly built! This was a tool I spent three days and three nights making to prevent the Herrscher of Domination from searching through the network. Without it, our base is completely exposed to their eyes and ears!"

Dr. Tesla, who had just crawled out of bed and had thick dark circles under his eyes, looked at the shattered door with a look of utter despair and knelt on the floor, collecting the broken fragments.

"So what if we're exposed? It's all your fault for designing the door so narrowly, Doctor, that Mei couldn't even get in. And don't forget, we still have Seele here. I'd love for them to walk right into our trap!"

Feeling guilty, Miss Kuroki hesitated to speak.

She actually wanted to comfort Dr. Tesla, but her habitual arrogance prevented her from saying anything comforting.

"Ugh... None of you guys understand the hard work and sacrifices of researchers who also provide support services!"

Seeing Dr. Tesla's furious and indignant expression, Xia Yuan couldn't bear to watch him continue like this, so he went to his side and helped him collect the broken metal fragments on the ground.

"I didn't expect you to be the most conscientious one, Mr. Xia Yuan. It wasn't in vain that Chicken Head and I worked overtime these past few days to build a rocket capable of landing on the moon using extremely limited materials. Would you be interested in becoming my experimental assistant?"

Seeing Dr. Tesla's thick dark circles, Xia Yuan politely declined his suggestion.

"No, Dr. Tesla. I'm doing quite well working for DuckDuck. They were even planning to promote me and give me a raise. By the way, the rocket they built... is it for flying to the moon?!"

Dr. Tesla was very pleased with the surprised expression on the other person's face; it was an expression that truly reflected the greatness of these researchers.

"Look how surprised you are. Let me tell you, Xia Yuan."

"The Herrscher of Domination has made a complete mess of the network with the stolen power of corruption, spreading false information online to deceive Schicksal. Theresa probably still thinks everything is fine here and is actively building up the town."

Xia Yuan pressed further, "Dr. Tesla, is there any way to fix the network?"

"From the perspective of current technology, this is almost a pipe dream and impossible to achieve. For example, the moment we fix one vulnerability, the other party can easily create thousands of vulnerabilities on the network."

"Unfortunately, we can't defeat the Herrscher of Domination on the internet at all. After gaining the power of corruption, this thing is as stubborn and difficult to deal with as an unkillable cockroach. If we hadn't learned from past mistakes and isolated all the world's weapons of mass destruction from the internet and switched to manual control, we could be sleeping now and welcoming the arrival of the nuclear wasteland world."

But Dr. Tesla's tone suddenly changed.

"However, that's only on the network level. In reality, let's not forget that we also have Kiana, the true Goddess of the End."

"The Herrscher of Domination is an existence of the same origin as the other party. Kiana can give commands to the other party through the power of the End. After all, the consciousness of the End is not so easy to disobey. If all else fails... at worst, Kiana can just shoot the other party. That will ensure that even the most stubborn digital virus will be completely destroyed once it leaves the network."

Just then—

Dr. Aiyin slowly walked over and joined the conversation between the two.

"Dr. Tesla, let me give you a little reminder. If Kiana were to actually shoot the Herrscher of Domination, the aftereffects would probably be far more severe than all the nuclear warheads currently in stock. At that point, it would be uncertain whether our planet would even exist."

"Stop nagging, you scraggly hair! I... of course I know! Who said to let Kiana shoot a bullet from the moon to Earth? I meant to lure the Herrscher of Domination to a deserted planet and eliminate her completely!"

Dr. Tesla excitedly waved her fist, as if she herself were about to fight the Herrscher of Domination. However, after she finished speaking, the floor in a corner of the base suddenly trembled inadvertently.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Tesla, if I were the Herrscher of Domination, knowing that Kiana exists on the moon, I would never leave Earth under any circumstances."

"Chicken-haired guy, are you determined to mess with me today? I told you long ago that it would be much better if we built mechs with combat capabilities that can fly into space. Why did you have to build traditional rockets? I wanted to pilot a mech and exchange a few blows with their 'rabble'. How could something cobbled together from mere puppets compare to the mechs I built?"

The floorboards in the corner of the base started vibrating even more violently...

"Dr. Tesla, have you forgotten about the mech you left at the Schicksal headquarters? Its progress is still at 99%."

"Cough cough... That's not my fault. So many things happened back then. Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you, Chicken Head. I haven't showered for days. I'm dealing with mechanical parts all day, and I'm all sticky and filthy. I'll leave the rocket debugging work to you, Chicken Head."

Dr. Tesla stormed off from everyone's sight, his red twin tails swaying on either side of him.

But after she left...

Chapter 507 The Room for Three

The floorboard in the corner of the base gradually fell silent.

The figure hidden beneath the floorboards seemed to have left with Dr. Tesla...

at the same time--

After thinking for a long time, Dr. Ai Yin suddenly threw a key to Xia Yuan.

"This is?"

"It seems we'll be busy again. The rocket's operating parameters are expected to be debugged by tomorrow morning at the earliest. During this time, Mr. Xia Yuan, you can rest well with Bronya and Mei at the base."

"Then I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Xia Yuan. I have prepared a room for you, but since there aren't enough rooms at the base, you'll have to squeeze in a little. As for the bed, please don't worry, the room at the base is big enough to accommodate three people."

Dr. Ai Yin continued to tease, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Ain, explain yourself! How can such a large base not have enough rooms to accommodate three people?!"

Unfortunately...
