Honkai Survival Guide

But...why do I feel like I'm being excluded?

Some kind of dark emotion that had been suppressed for a long time quietly spread from the bottom of Mei's heart, twisting her mind unconsciously.

The girl didn't notice it at all, but her own will was much tougher than she imagined. She subconsciously denied the inexplicably dark thoughts, and her thoughts became more and more contradictory, as if another self in her body was talking to herself.

"They're a couple. They should be more intimate. It's understandable that they don't want outsiders to disturb them, right?"

[But am I just an outsider to them? 】

"I'm their friend, best friend..."

[Yes, friend.But they also hid something from me and didn't want me to know. 】

[There should be nothing to hide between friends, right? 】

"But... everyone has their own secrets, right?"

Mei instinctively sensed something was wrong, but the other self was still talking, with a low tone and a hoarse voice, but it had a different kind of allure, making people want to listen involuntarily, like a demon tempting people to fall into hell.

【Are they already alienating me? 】

[Thinking about it, Lord hasn't been to the dojo for several days, right?Kiyana hasn't come to my house for several days, right? 】

【What happened to Asakura-san?Why didn't you come to the dojo? 】

[Looking at Kiyana's appearance, she obviously knows the situation, right? 】

[Why don't you want to tell me?Why hide it from me? 】

[Ahh... are you even going to abandon me? 】

"No...it's not like that..."

"Kiana and Lord...will not abandon me...no..."

Mei is still denying it, but the voice of the other self is getting clearer, and the distinction between you and me has even been clarified between words, as if having an independent personality.

[Oh, what a naive idea. 】

[Why didn't I abandon you?Is it just because you look good? 】

【You are no longer valuable to Kiana and Lord...】

【You are destined to be abandoned by them! 】

[But I won't, we are all Mei, I am you, and you are me. 】

[Our fate has been bound together from the very beginning, and I will never abandon you. 】

[Choose to accept me, Mei, I am the one who can always accompany you...]

Mei's head was drooping, and her soft hair followed her movements, and those beautiful purple eyes seemed to be stained with a dark color.

However, at this moment, the mobile phone that was put aside suddenly rang twice, which was particularly harsh in the quiet room.

Mei suddenly looked up.

She looked at herself in the mirror with some confusion.

"Strange...why am I sitting here in a daze?"

"Hmm... I seemed to be thinking about something just now, and I was still communicating with someone..."

"But I can't remember what I was thinking just now. I'm the only one in the room, who can I communicate with?"

"You can't be talking to yourself, can you?"

Mei laughed when she said that, she shook her head, picked up her phone, stood up, and threw herself onto the big soft bed.

The girl turned on the screen and found that Qiyana had said good night to her just now, followed by a big smiling face.

Kiana's smile naturally appeared in Mei's mind, and the corners of her own mouth curved into a beautiful arc.

She also said good night to Qiyana, then put down her phone and lay flat on the bed.

"Go to sleep……"

one zero one preparation

The day passed quickly, and soon it was the time agreed with Siegfried.

Lord woke up Kiana as usual, prepared breakfast and lunch for her, then helped her comb her hair, and tied her into a high ponytail with ease.

And because of some small episodes in the middle, Qiyana's school uniform was messed up a lot, and it was getting late after rearranging her clothes.

Seeing that she might be late again, Kiyana leaned on Lord's shoulder angrily and bit him again.

Lord said he was innocent.

He just habitually kissed the girl's lips lightly, who knew that Qiyana stuck out her tongue.

Then...then follow the trend and do it...

In short, today's Qiyana entered the school again over the wall.

After bidding farewell to Kiana, Lord took out a note from his pocket, which stated Siegfried's current hiding place, with a very abstract stick figure map beside it.

Lord looked at it for a long time before confirming that it was a map, not Siegfried's random graffiti.

Then, according to the address Siegfried gave him, Lord shuttled through the alleys between the tall buildings, and it took a lot of effort to find the place.

In front of Lord was a dilapidated small hotel hidden at the end of a remote alley.

The hotel has only three floors and does not occupy a large area.And it is generally made of wood, and the appearance is quite old. It has obviously been standing here for many years. Even the words on the signboard are very blurred due to the passage of time, and the original appearance cannot be seen clearly.

Lord looked at the note Siegfried gave him again, and after confirming that he had found the right one, he walked into the hotel.

The interior of the hotel is not as old and dilapidated as it appears on the outside. On the contrary, it is cleaned quite cleanly, and the decoration style is a bit retro. There are incenses on the wooden table, smoky, and the fragrance is elegant. The feeling of being in a century old house.

Sitting behind the reception desk facing the main door was a kind-hearted old lady. When she saw Lord coming in, she didn't ask him. She just bowed slightly and didn't move too much.

Lord was also so happy, and nodded towards the old lady as a greeting, and then slowly went upstairs on the creaking wooden stairs.

After going up to the third floor and reaching the room at the end of the corridor, Lord stopped and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who?"

A very mature female voice came from the room.

Lord's face remained unchanged, and he continued lightly.

"Your son-in-law."

The door was pulled open, revealing Siegfried's dark face.

"You are not my son-in-law!"

"Sooner or later."

Lord replied, and then walked into the room on his own.

Surprisingly, the room where this middle-aged man lived alone was unexpectedly clean and tidy.

"You stinky boy..."

Siegfried closed the door and followed Lord in.

"I'm afraid I can't help but want to hit you if you're like this."

"Then go ahead." Lord didn't take Siegfried's words to heart at all, and continued: "If Kiyana asks how I was injured, I will tell the truth."

"...Okay, count yourself as ruthless."

Siegfried angrily sat down on a chair beside him.

Suddenly said: "To be honest, I think you should go and stay with Qiyana honestly. It's better for us adults to do this kind of thing. You don't have to come with me."

Lord rolled his eyes.

"What are you still talking about now? I've already been in front of you, so what's the use of talking about it?"

"You might as well tell me how you plan to sneak into Mikoyan's company later."

"Okay." Siegfried shrugged: "Actually, I just said it casually."

Then, he pulled out a file bag from the drawer of the desk behind him and handed it to Lord.

"I have prepared your things for you, too."

Lord took the file bag, opened it, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Inside is a whole set of forged identity information, as well as Mikoyan Technology's entry permit, physical badge, authority card, etc., which look no different from the real ones, and are well prepared.

It seems that my cheap father-in-law has more connections than he imagined.

It's no wonder he's been on the run for so many years by Destiny's Valkyrie forces.

Siegfried said: "Our plan is very simple."

"Use this set of forged information to go in openly."

Siegfried raised his hand, holding a white card with black and gold patterns on it between his fingertips.

"Then use this authorization card that I have worked so hard to get to investigate the places we think are suspicious, and then come out in a fair and honest manner, and the matter is over."

"do you understand?"

"...What kind of plan is this?" Lord couldn't help complaining.

"Simple, efficient and easy to use, isn't it?"

"Well, indeed."

"Then go change your outfit." Siegfried opened the wooden wardrobe in the corner, found a brand new suit from inside, and threw it to Lord.

"There is no need to wear a tie, and the inner shirt should be worn more casually, and the buttons don't need to be all buttoned up. Also, put on these glasses."

"I observed the employees of Mikoyan Technology yesterday, and most of them are dressed like this."

Lord thought this was the right thing to do, and he finally felt like he was pretending to sneak in.

So he nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the bathroom to change."

"Wait a moment."

Siegfried suddenly stopped him, frowned, and stared at Lord.

"what happened?"

Siegfried squinted his eyes, reached out and lifted Lord's collar, revealing a neat and small circle of teeth marks on his collarbone—this was just bitten by Kiana this morning.

Lord: "...my father-in-law, why don't you just listen to my argument?"

Siegfried's murderous eyes slowly swept over Lord, and after a while he sighed and let him go.

"I still say the same thing, brat." Siegfried said in a low voice, "If you dare to do anything to hurt Qiyana, I will definitely kill you."

"Now, let's get down to business."

At this time, Lord also winked and did not say anything to tease the middle-aged man's complicated mood, but just walked into the bathroom silently and changed his clothes.

After a while, Lord, who had changed his clothes, came out.

Putting on a suit, he looked a lot more mature. He lifted his bangs, combed his hair back, and paired it with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He really looked like a businessman.

Siegfried looked him up and down, tut-tsk said: "To be honest, your appearance is quite a bit of a gentle beast."

Lord rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Siegfried himself also changed into a suit, but he didn't know if it was because of his temperament. He was really not suitable for wearing a suit, and he looked a bit nondescript.

And he himself felt very uncomfortable, he would pull his collar and sleeves from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.

"After so many years, I'm still not used to wearing this thing, and I always feel constrained."

Ziggy moved his shoulders, exhaled, and looked at Lord on the side.

"Get ready, let's go."

[-] infiltrated

Siegfried and Lord, who had changed their outfits and made good disguises, brought their ID cards and soon arrived near the building of Mikoyan Technology.

Under Lord's control, the rock elements condensed into rock element creations of various shapes.From the windows opened at high altitude, the lines laid underground, the sewer pipes and other routes, sneaked into the Mikoyan technology without anyone noticing.

As the creation of rock elements gradually deepened, the three-dimensional structure of the Mikoyan Science and Technology Building was gradually constructed in Lord's mind.

Not long after, Lord opened his eyes, took a breath, and nodded towards Siegfried.
