Honkai Q&A, Starting with Kiana

Chapter 559:

Eden couldn't get over the condemnation of her conscience, so, as compensation, she would answer all of Raiden Mei's questions...

Then, the doubts in her heart are all written by Ellie.

then-

"Eden, may I ask you one last question? There is one thing that I can't figure out anyway..."

"Of course, Miss Mei, the rest of my time, they all belong to you."

Eden listened straight to the lines of the script spoken by Raiden Mei, and responded.

Listening to her talking about the erased past, listening to the history told by her mouth.

Why did Alicia take the initiative to become a Herrscher, and how did she use a sacrifice to make everyone wake up? If this is Alicia's true ending, then why is the history of the Thirteenth Herrscher being erased?

Eden's eyes changed slightly.

Having read the script in advance, even though she was mentally prepared, when she actually heard the other party's inquiry, her heart was still pulled back to that night, the fact that was erased.

Eden raised her voice hoarsely, explaining to Mei.

She is chanting lines from horror dramas, or expressing her inner truth.

The blinded Raiden Mei was not clear, and the Yingjie who eavesdropped outside the hall did not comment. Only Alicia, who hugged Raiden Mei and was hugged by Eden, had no smile, only pity and responsibility for Mei. Guilt, and self-blame for the friend's pain brought tears.

"Miss Mei...you are really smart."

"You have already discovered that there are many "unreasonable" in this statement..."

"Because it's just a "statement", a "statement" to explain to her family and future events why she left. "

"And there is only one answer that can turn all "unreasonable" into "reasonable"..."

"That is the "truth" you have been searching for. "

Eden suddenly showed a wry smile, this kind of unreasonableness happened to be their unfairness to Mei.

Even Eden, who thought she was the best friend of the other party, couldn't guess how Alicia, who loved everyone equally, felt at this moment.

But she alone knows one thing.

That must be the darkness and pain that ordinary people cannot bear.

"...Is that so? So..."

Eden's words seemed to turn on the switch of the blocked memory. No, the correct way to say it was that the key word awakened the memory engraved in her mind.

Leiden Mei was a little stunned and at a loss.

A series of memories popped up in my mind.

"That's right, maybe... I really lied a lot, the only "lie" in my life. "

"After all...I'm afraid too."

"Well... I don't know how I behaved? What will everyone think of me?... Judging from their reactions, the result should be good, right?"

"Anyway, there won't be "Alicia" in the Paradise of the Past..."

"...Haha, thank you, Mei."

"I'm so lucky to have met you this way. You've brought me...the 'gift' I've been longing for, but never dared to ask for. "

Those few words of Alicia's past are connected into a thread at this moment, leading everything to the only answer

"So... Alicia..."

"..."

"...She was never a "Thirteenth Herrscher", was she? "

The fact that should have moved people's hearts, but viewed from a conspirator's point of view, it was a picture constructed with emotions that deceived Mei Raiden.

She thought it was all kinds of chats in the past that revealed the answer, but she didn't know that it was a script that was set.

What she thought was moved was the future written by the conspirator.

The truth she longs for is the prelude that has long been waiting in her memory.

The fish takes the bait, and the next step is to catch the net of the ashamed hunter.

""Thirteen" is a false number, she told the world a "lie" just to tell the "truth" to her loved ones at the time of parting. "

"Miss Mei, I'm very happy... In the end, you found the "answer" by yourself. This is what you've been looking for all along, the last secret buried in the Paradise of the Past. "

"The second place in Chasing Fire Yingjie, Alicia, the inscribed "true self", this girl who loves all "people"..."

"She was born as a "Riser". "

Eden's hoarse and lazy words seem to have a deceptive magic power, which makes Mei, who is hollow in her heart, chase after the truth and facts that are regarded as guidance.

Gradually fell into the ambush of despair and couldn't extricate himself.

Shocked by Eden's (deliberate) confession, Raiden Mei was silent for a long, long time.

The brain is collecting known information and processing it, turning false information into real nourishment.

After a long time, she spoke in a trembling tone.

"So...that's the truth?"

"No wonder Kevin is in so much pain..."

He was powerless because of the sacrifice of his comrades in arms.

"No wonder Mebius called her a "betrayer"..."

She knew he was the Herrscher.

"No wonder she was so delighted by my 'existence'..."

Because my existence is their hope, I told the Yingjies that Alysia's choice was not wrong.

The 50,000-year wait is worthwhile, Alicia, she succeeded.
