"Prometheus, activate Reality One for me."
As Dr. Mei finished speaking, a familiar scene appeared before Mei's eyes.
"This is... a classic?"
The surrounding scenery is exactly the same as the original "Paradise of the Past".
The gentle piano music evoked a sense of "long-lost nostalgia" in her.
.......
Chapter 529 The dead knife is attacking people again!
Not just Mei.
The familiar music, the familiar background.
Even the players couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
The barrage of comments exploded instantly.
Players are calling miHoYo a "stupid old man"...
Even though they've clearly forgotten the "pain" brought by [Paradise of the Past], miHoYo, that old fox, just has to jump out and remind players of it...
What players don't know is that this chapter has more than just this one instance of Lao Liu's behavior.
And then, there were even more outrageous things happening...
In short, this is a chapter without any knives, but miHoYo insists on reminding you of those knives...
Calling Mihoyo "Old Six" is really not a bad thing...
……
"Watch out, Raiden Mei!"
"I'm just using the functions of the World Bubble to deceive our senses—like wearing VR glasses, not a complete virtual space like Paradise."
“I understand…” Mei’s mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure:
"I just suddenly saw the scenes from [Paradise] again, and it's hard not to feel a bit emotional."
At this moment, Kiana and the others were also looking around curiously: "Huh? So this is what you mean by 'paradise'? It has a very surreal beauty~"
After a brief moment of reflection, Kiana and the others quickly got back to the main topic.
In other words, it concerns matters related to the future of this world.
"Dr. Mei, you don't want us to get involved in things related to the bubble itself, right?" 903
Dr. May nodded: "Of course, because that won't help you with what you want to do, and might even... cause you to invest unbearable costs, only to end up with nothing."
"Don't forget, time is Kevin's friend and the [Stigmata Project]—meaning, your enemy."
"By utilizing the imaginary divine remains, we can ensure your return to your original world in the shortest possible time."
Kiana: "We trust the Doctor's judgment, but..."
Before Kiana could continue, Dr. May interrupted with a smile, "But as individuals, you, and all of you, find it difficult to accept the conclusion of leaving us to fend for ourselves, right?"
Kiana nodded: "If given the chance, Ranran would like to give it a try."
Opportunities... naturally exist.
To ensure that this world bubble can be preserved, the first requirement is a high success rate for [imaginary number renormalization].
[Imaginary Number Renormalization] was done by Bug with the help of Mei's "power of a hundred" when they fought Otto.
The prerequisite for Bug to do this is to help her fully restore her Herrscher powers.
Therefore, Dr. Mei came up with a solution—to arrange for another person to enter Kiana's mental world in order to help Kiana break free from the shackles imposed on her by the Stigmata Project.
"In any case, it seems Kiana first needs to choose between Mei and Bronya to help her."
Immediately afterwards, two options appeared in the game.
【Select Meiyi】
[Choose Bronya]
(cgdf) It looks like there are two options, but there is actually only one.
Kiana chose Mei without hesitation.
So the two followed Dr. Mei to a secluded corner.
"You are both Heralds. As long as you are both fully open-minded, it is easy for one of you to enter the other's mental space."
"Kiana, all you need to do is completely relax and feel the entirety of Raiden Mei."
"Mei, you can make full use of your experience of entering and leaving the Paradise of the Past to allow your consciousness to naturally enter Kiana's body."
Something about that sounds off...
And when Dr. Mei explained the next steps, things became even more strange.
"Like this...and then like this..."
"It really is... kind of strange..."
The two held hands, their faces pressed very close together.
This scene brought smiles to the faces of countless players.
The screen was filled with comments like "sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet".
Looking at these comments, the girls in the studio who knew the later plot all shook their heads helplessly.
It's very sweet, isn't it?
OK OK...
……
in the game.
Kiana and Mei were initially unable to concentrate.
It took them quite a while to calm down.
As a light, drowsy feeling washed over them, the two felt as if they had transformed into a pair of paper phoenixes fluttering up and down, slowly rising into the air.
Then, the two of them opened their eyes simultaneously...
What came into view for the two of them was a place that felt like home... St. Freya Academy!
"..." Upon seeing this scene, Kiana felt her breath catch in her throat.
Kiana quietly gazed at a spot a dozen steps away from her...
There is nothing there.
The scene was familiar, but the familiar person was nowhere to be seen.
"She...they're all gone."
This part of the story, and Kiana's words, left players feeling somewhat confused.
Are you referring to the other Valkyries of St. Freya, and Theresa?
However, just as the players were pondering, a strange yet familiar piano melody suddenly began to play.
The music started, and with the rather long corridor, the pure white world background, and that... St. Freya's gate...
A red figure simultaneously appeared in the players' minds.
Only then did the players understand what Kiana meant by those words...
This is the place where Kiana and Himeko said their final goodbyes at the Domination Theater!
I still vividly remember that chocolate gate!
Kiana's searching gaze was precisely looking for Himeko...
No way... we'll have to do it again?!
……
“Kiana…” At this moment, Mei also noticed Kiana’s unusual emotional state.
"You met Himeko-sensei when you were in the theater, right?"
"Hmm..." Kiana took a deep breath, then nodded gently: "In the world recorded by the Plague Gem."
"But Mei is still so perceptive; you can guess what I've been through just by looking at me."
"That's where we said goodbye... and afterwards, I became the [Herrscher of Flame]."
"Judging from this... Kiana, now that she's back at school, is undoubtedly Himeko-sensei's class representative, right?"
Perhaps sensing Kiana's somewhat downcast mood, Mei even cracked a joke, which was rare for her.
Kiana: "Haha... I never imagined that the word 'class representative' would be used to describe me one day."
Mei: "But...it's just right, isn't it? And—"
