Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Kiana, Kiana, you are really my good friend
Chapter 77: Kiana, Kiana, you are really my good friend
The audience, who had all turned into people of fun, certainly would not miss it and started discussing it.
[Haha, hahahahaha!! It's the season of White Album again! ]
[It's so miserable! Why do you persecute Miss Mei like this? ]
[Is there anyone who can quickly make a picture? Just put the scene of Kiana and Mo Chen kissing, and put Raiden Mei with her head down in the middle]
[! How can you persecute others like this? ]
[The master is here, it will be posted in the afternoon, follow B station upxxxxxx]
[No wonder Mo Chen's attitude toward Mei Yi was so strange afterward. It turns out that such an interesting thing happened before! ]
[Ms. Mei, please don't cry! The most important thing in life is to be happy! ]
[Love is like a green light that illuminates your head! ]
[Mei is so miserable. She was just sitting at home, but the base crystal exploded for no apparent reason.]
[To be honest, I think Mo Chen should be with Kiana. These two are obviously more suitable for each other, and I want to watch some sweet love stories.]
[How sweet is it? This plot is almost making my stomach explode! ]
…
In the rental house.
"Isn't Mo Chen's behavior here a bit too much of a scumbag?"
Bronya couldn't help but complain.
After all, in her opinion, Mo Chen has already chosen Raiden Mei, so he should be with Raiden Mei. How could he suddenly get together with Kiana?
In response, Mo Chen said nothing.
Because he really couldn't make any argument for it.
After all, for him at that time, Raiden Mei was the target that the simulation system required him to capture, and he could approach her for the purpose of the capture mission.
However, after everything they've been through, the person he actually has feelings for is actually Kiana.
At that time, he really fell in love with this girl who took the initiative to help him when he was most lonely. Even if he could not complete the simulation task, he did not want her to be sad.
Under such circumstances, it was only natural that the situation would develop in that direction, but it was also extremely stomach-wrenching.
…
Nagazora City Airport.
"Mei... Captain Mei..."
Carol and Adam looked at the video with embarrassment. Faced with such a classic scene from the White Album, they just felt that they had seen some kind of unimaginable dark history.
It is very likely that they will be killed by the ashamed and angry Captain Mei in the next second.
After all, if this kind of thing happened to her, Carol felt like she wanted to jump off the Sky Island and disappear from this world forever.
For this reason, the two members of the third team unconsciously moved away from where Mei Raiden was, fearing that they would be dragged down by the overly ashamed Mei Raiden.
However, to their surprise...
"Mo Chen...Kiana..."
When she saw the content on the screen, Mei Raiden suddenly burst into tears. She seemed to have suddenly remembered something and fell into an extremely depressed state.
Seeing this, Carol and Adam initially thought that the other was acting so lost and sad because the person they loved was taken away.
But they soon discovered that this was not the case.
Mei Raiden's sadness is genuine. She truly feels a kind of unforgettable pain and deep regret from the developments in the video.
Yes, Mei Raiden remembered.
After watching the video, she immediately recalled the past that she had once forgotten and the irreversible things she had done when she was young and ignorant.
At the same time, she also recalled the results of everything and recalled that tragic yet warm past.
'Why did I forget?'
'What on earth had I been through that caused me to forget everything?'
"I am such a fool..."
Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears kept flowing out. Scenes of memories kept rolling through Mei Raiden's mind, and she finally sighed deeply.
If she had been smarter and more rational at the time, and not done the overly reckless things she did later, everything could have been saved.
Unfortunately, at this point, what happened has already happened and nothing can be done to make up for it.
Mei Raiden could only watch in the video as her younger self continued to run down the wrong path.
…
In the video.
When Mei Raiden saw Kiana and Mo Chen kissing, her expression suddenly became very confused.
She didn't expect that Mo Chen, who had always shown affection for her, and Kiana, the only same-sex friend willing to communicate with her, would actually hug each other so intimately, and even kiss, something that only lovers would do.
This is equivalent to confirming the rumors!
All of a sudden, Mei Raiden, who was not mentally prepared, fell into confusion, and her expression instinctively became gloomy.
On the other side——
"No, it's not like that, Mei!"
Kiana wanted to explain immediately that she had just done that kind of thing with Mo Chen for some unknown reason, but that was not what she actually thought in her heart.
She had never thought of giving up or betraying Mei Raiden but was just inexplicably drawn into the atmosphere just now.
Unfortunately, her explanation now seemed so pale and powerless. Raiden Mei obviously didn't believe Kiana's words at all. After all, everything could be said to be irrefutable evidence.
"Kiana..."
"No, it's really not like that!"
Kiana was anxious. She was like a tsundere little ragdoll cat. She pushed Mo Chen away in panic, fearing that Raiden Mei would continue to deepen the misunderstanding.
However, the blush and faint joy on her face betrayed her.
Kiana really likes Mo Chen in her heart.
Therefore, she could not show any emotion other than happiness about the kiss just now.
"Why..."
Realizing this, Raiden Mei was completely stunned.
She had already suffered from years of school bullying, and today she was betrayed by almost everyone at the same time.
The admirer's love affair, the betrayal of a good friend...
Under so many shocks, she finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and was completely eroded and swallowed by the darkness deep in her heart...
She wanted to escape from this world and escape from all the pain...
boom!
In the blink of an eye, the originally peaceful campus grove suddenly exploded with shocking waves.
As Kiana and Mo Chen looked surprised, purple lightning suddenly swept in from all directions, as if to swallow everything!
The third Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder, has officially arrived!
In the blink of an eye, the roaring thunder filled the space in all directions, and the power displayed by the Herrscher of Thunder after her arrival once again swept everything.
And because they had already witnessed the deeds of the Herrscher of Thunder twice, the audience generally had no idea about the content of the video this time. They were more worried about the safety of two ordinary people, Mo Chen and Kiana.
After all, neither Mo Chen nor Kiana clearly had the power to fight against the Herrscher.
It would be extremely difficult for the two of them to deal with the completely out-of-control Herrscher Raiden Mei, or it would be completely impossible for them to fight back.
[Alas, although I had already guessed this would be the result when Mei Raiden really became a Herrscher, I still felt unprecedented powerlessness.]
[This relationship was misplaced from the beginning. Raiden Mei fell in love with the past Mo Chen, while the current Mo Chen fell in love with Kiana. There was no way the two sides would have a good outcome.]
[But becoming a Herrscher is still a bit too far-fetched. Who would flip the table while filming White Album? ]
[So you really think this is White Album? It's not the same at all...]
…
"Captain, you were once a Herrscher?!"
Seeing the scenes in the video, Carol couldn't help rubbing her eyes.
Because she was on a mission, she hadn't watched Cocolia's video carefully before, so it was the first time she knew that her captain had transformed into the Third Herrscher during the third Honkai Eruption.
The contrast was so great that she couldn't believe it.
In contrast, Mei Raiden herself sighed silently. Now that she has become more mature than she was in the past, she naturally knows what mistakes she made back then.
But at this point, there's nothing that can be done.
She could only watch as the two people most important to her fell into a huge crisis because of her failure and ugliness.
…
In the video.
The birth of the Herrscher of Thunder brought a huge disaster to Nagazora. The terrifying thunder ravaged everything around it. Countless Honkai beasts were born from the cracks in the dimensions and surrendered to the Thunder Queen who summoned them.
Raiden Mei, who was covered by the Herrscher personality, looked at Kiana and Mo Chen in front of her indifferently, and said indifferently:
"Kiana, Kiana, you are really my good friend."
"…"
The terrifying aura emanating from 'Raiden Mei' made Kiana inexplicably uneasy. She didn't understand what had happened to the girl in front of her, and even instinctively wanted to get closer to her.
This behavior is undoubtedly a dead end!
boom!
In an instant, terrifying thunder erupted, smashing Kiana's body directly away.
If Mo Chen had not reacted in time and grabbed Kiana, she would have been completely torn to pieces by the power of the Herrscher of Thunder at this moment!
At this moment, Mo Chen hugged the wounded Kiana and looked at her painful face:
"Kiana..."
"Mo Chen, I'm sorry, it's my fault. It's because of me that Mei became like that..."
"No, that's not right!"
Facing the girl's self-blame, Mo Chen gritted his teeth:
"It's my fault. I underestimated it all. I underestimated the mission the world has given me! I can never escape from my mission, and I am not qualified to pursue my own happiness! I must shoulder everything that I should shoulder!"
"From now on, I will be everyone's protector. I will fight for everyone I am supposed to save. I will never be bound by personal emotions again, and I will never let what happened today happen again!"
"Kiana, Mei, I will save all of you, even if it costs me everything!"
"…"
After he finished speaking, Mo Chen slowly stood up from the ground.
At this moment, his gaze began to deepen little by little, and his overall temperament and appearance began to rapidly develop toward the direction of a future world savior.
Yes, after his appearance gradually became similar to that of the future Mo Chen with the help of Kiana, Mo Chen finally grew in his character and officially understood what he should do as a savior.
He should not take anything personally and should do his best to save everyone he needs to save.
This is his destiny and a mission he cannot escape!
So, facing the shocked gazes of Kiana and the audience, he walked forward step by step towards the position where 'Raiden Mei' was in front of him.
"Oh? What do you want to do?"
The Herrscher of Thunder looked at Mo Chen coldly. She and Raiden Mei had different personalities, so she didn't have any deep feelings for Mo Chen.
However, as a Herrscher, she extremely rarely attaches great importance to her other person, Raiden Mei, so naturally she does not want Mo Chen, whom Raiden Mei values, to die.
"Forget it. I'll leave you alone for now, Mo Chen. After I kill Kiana and destroy Nagazora, I'll naturally have time to slowly deal with you."
After hearing what Raiden Mei said, Mo Chen had no intention of stopping. Instead, he moved quickly and kept approaching the direction of Raiden Mei.
Finally, when the distance between the two reached a certain level, the Herrscher of Thunder could no longer bear it.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll chop off your arm!"
Mo Chen was not afraid at all.
There was even a smile on his face.
"If I can exchange my death for your rationality, I will gladly do so. If I can exchange my flesh and blood for your smile, I will do so willingly..."
"you..."
The Herrscher of Thunder was also stunned as she did not expect the human in front of her to be so crazy.
Faced with Mo Chen's behavior of getting closer to her, she didn't expect that she would be humiliated like this by an ant-like human being.
Extremely ashamed and angry, she raised her right hand angrily, drew out a lightning blade, and swung it towards Mo Chen with all her might.
The Herrscher thought Mo Chen would dodge, so she didn't swing very fast.
Unexpectedly, Mo Chen did not dodge at all, and used his body to block her attack. His body was suddenly torn open, and almost half of it was completely ripped apart.
"you..."
"sorry."
Coming in front of the Herrscher of Thunder, the wounded Mo Chen stroked the girl's face in distress.
The Herrscher of Thunder was completely stunned upon seeing this. She didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a moment. She could only try to reduce the range of her lightning as much as possible and didn't dare to spread it too much outward for fear of hurting Mo Chen.
"I'm sorry, if I knew what I was going to do from the beginning, I should be able to save you, Mei..." Mo Chen sighed helplessly as he felt himself disappearing, "If, if there is another chance, I will definitely not fail again. I will try my best to do my best and save everyone, including you, Mei, who I couldn't save this time..."
"I don't want to, and I won't, fail again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chen faced the lightning released by the Herrscher of Thunder and hugged it directly.
His body began to disintegrate and his soul began to collapse.
But his will became stronger.
Mo Chen finally realized what he really had to do as a savior in every simulation!
Bang!
As Mo Chen of this time and space completely disappeared, he truly became a savior who was fulfilling his mission!
