About my outrageous life in Honkai Impact III

Chapter 455: Fraudster

"The real purpose of the Herrscher of Corrosion was to gain access to and control over Kevin's Armed 666, so it attacked Ellie."

After bringing up the heavy topic, Luo Chen pointed out the goal of the Herrscher of Erosion.

"And the data of Ellie alone is obviously not enough, so it needs to absorb data from more people in order to perfectly imitate Ellie."

Luo Chen sneered. He was disdainful of such behavior. Ai Li could never be replicated because she was a flawless person!

"And in Yingjie, the data of Doctor, Eden, and Chen are crucial to the Herrscher of Corrosion."

"Now it has absorbed Eden and Mobius's, only yours is missing."

Mei added that she thought Luo Chen was unaware of these things that happened after he was sealed.

"Indeed, but it can't do anything to me now."

Right now, the Ruler of Erosion really can’t do anything to Luo Chen and the others, but that may no longer be the case after it absorbs all the memories of the rest of Ying Jie.

But Luo Chen will not give it this opportunity.

"Mei, listen to me. Whether we can completely destroy the Herrscher of Corrosion will depend on you."

A pink crystal flower appeared in his hand, with a faint light flickering in its center.

"Take it, it will lead you in the right direction."

"What is this thing for?"

Mei took the crystal flower and looked at it, which was exactly the same as the mark of Alicia. She realized that the method Luo Chen mentioned was probably related to Alicia.

"A key that will allow you to meet someone from the past."

"You mean... Ellie is still alive?"

Meiyi exerted a little force on the hand holding the crystal flower and looked at Luo Chen in disbelief.

“It’s not easy to explain, you could say.

It's getting late, and the power I left in you is almost exhausted. Mei, I'll take you out."

"Wait, so fast..."

Yayi had a sad face. They had just reunited with Luo Chen for a while, but they had to separate again.

"Don't be sad, we will meet again after this is all over."

Luo Chen pointed his finger at Yayi's forehead, just like before.

"So, Mei, you must be well."

……

Meiyi was sent out of the strange space by Luo Chen and came to a small house with warm and gorgeous decoration.

"Hi, you're finally here..."

A gentle voice was transmitted to Mei's ears at a very low volume. When Mei saw the owner of the voice clearly, she couldn't believe it.

The owner of the voice was Wei Erwei, but at this moment she was acting out of character, sitting elegantly on the sofa with a thick book in her hands.

The temperament of a lady from a noble family emanates from her. This trait that is most unlikely to be seen in Weiwei is now displayed in front of Mei, making her feel a little magical.

"Why did Chen let me come to you?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I'm the only one who can help you now."

After closing the book, Wei Liwei picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the black tea in it.

“How should I introduce myself to you, long time no see?

Or...is this our first meeting?"

When facing Mei whom she met for the first time, the real Vivi was still a little uncomfortable. She waved her arms slightly and tried her best to behave like a normal person.

“You are… the original [Vilvi], her true self.

A... fraudster."

Mei's answer made Wei Wei feel a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and said, "Is it a little too ordinary... and disappointing to you?

You don't seem surprised at all?"

"No, I'm still surprised actually. I'm just a little used to it.

So, the so-called split thinking..."

"Those are all true... But before I had this ability, I could easily transform into [another person], and it's not much different from now?"

Wei Erwei's voice became much louder when she mentioned this great technology. This was the technology she was most proud of, and even Chen had praised it.

“【Evil Man】said that all thought areas no longer exist.

Is this another one of her lies, or... one of your lies?"

“Well, she did destroy all the areas including the Self.

But no one stipulates that the [self] must stay in the area called [self], right? There is nothing there from the beginning. It is just a little habit of mine...

Spiders do have eight legs, but they still have to grow from a body, right?

Unfortunately, without legs, the torso can't move. So, I can only meet you in this way.

I’m sorry…”

Wei Wei apologized with a very sincere attitude

"If I were to apologize sincerely, would you accept it?"

"Can I trust you?"

Mei did not accept the apology immediately, as she had not yet figured out what the attitude of Weiwei was.

“Although I don’t seem to be qualified to say this…but I hope you can believe me.

Although I am just a scientist and don't have the power like Chen and others.

But I will help you in any way I can."

Listening to what Weiwei said, Mei's lips curled up.

If the two doctors of Anti-Entropy said this, she would believe it, but it was a bit strange to hear it coming from the mouth of Velvet, a fusion warrior.

"I want to believe you."

Mei's answer made Weiwei feel relieved. As a person with social phobia, she really couldn't think of what she would do if Mei refused.

Fortunately, Mei is kind.

"I think Chen should have told you everything about how the Herrscher entered the Paradise of the Afterlife, right?

But Mei, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Even without you, the Herrscher of Corrosion would have found this place, and if it had been that way, the situation would have been much more tragic than it is now.

And from another perspective, if you hadn’t thrown yourself into the paradise right after that meeting… reality would have been a mess a long time ago.”

As a person with social phobia, she is still trying to comfort others. She really is, it makes me cry.

"..."

But even though Chen and Wei Erwei said so, Mei was still not going to let herself go so easily.

This was her mistake and she had to fix it herself.

“…Alas, you are the type who cares a lot about [making mistakes], just like me.

Compared to you, I should probably bear the main responsibility for [it] eventually growing to this point."

Since straightforward comfort didn't work, Weiwei had to try another approach - putting the blame on herself.

“It was Chen who first discovered it, and then beat it half to death, causing it to remain silent for a while.

Then, after it recovered from its wounds, it immediately sealed Chen and the others, and killed and absorbed Alicia's data at an extremely fast speed.

However, it is possible that Ailiya's love for Chen is too strong, causing it to be infected with this emotion.

This made the Herrscher of Corrosion feel even more uncomfortable with Chen. "
