At least that's how Ellie sees it.
"I didn't do anything."
Ellie rested her chin on her hand, while the fingers of her other hand gently stirred her long, blue-purple hair. Her orange-red eyes were fixed on the traffic flowing towards Kevin on the virtual screen, who was standing somewhat dazed in the middle of the road.
“Bang!!!” Alice exclaimed softly.
Chapter 328 Noon (3)
Emergency room at Canghai City Hospital.
Mei watched silently as the doctor walked out of the hospital. The doctor took off his mask and spoke to Mei regretfully.
"I'm sorry, we tried our best."
Mei had actually anticipated this all along.
When May saw Kevin being lifted into the ambulance, no matter how much she hoped, her rational mind told her that Kevin couldn't possibly survive under those circumstances.
At this time, Mei also received the police investigation report.
Kevin's accident was indeed due to exhaustion.
May had already noticed Kevin's situation and felt that she should comfort and take care of him sooner. However, Kevin had been too reliable in the past, which made May overlook the fact that Kevin was just an ordinary person.
But now, it's all too late.
Mei silently arrived at Kevin's place, where traces of Kevin's life were still preserved.
Everything here seemed to be telling May that Kevin was still alive, but his body was already cold, and the news of his death had already been told to Kevin's relatives in Europe and the company where he worked.
May sat on Kevin's bed in his room, her face expressionless, still reeling from Kevin's sudden death.
Kevin, how did he suddenly die?
"Are those things really that important?" Mei opened her phone, looked at the photo of herself and Kevin, and murmured to herself.
The photo was taken during a trip she took with Kevin, and Mei has many more photos like this.
"..." Mei's tears fell silently onto the screen.
Mei's cell phone rang suddenly, but she had no intention of answering it.
She sat in Kevin's room for a long time.
The next morning, as sunlight streamed into the room, Mei slowly raised her head.
She then left Kevin's room.
不久
"What? Mei, why are you suddenly giving up?"
In a research institute, the old professor looked at Mei in front of him with disbelief on his face.
"I'm sorry, Professor," Mei said, bowing her head deeply.
The old professor frowned deeply. He already knew that Mei's lover had passed away. Originally, the old professor thought that Mei should be able to get over it, after all, no matter how you looked at it, Mei was a very rational person.
But to everyone's surprise, the first thing Mei did after returning to the research institute was to leave.
The old professor felt truly sorry for her; Mei was incredibly talented, achieving so much academically at such a young age, and her future was limitless.
However, after seeing Mei's determined expression, the old professor knew in his heart that Mei had made up her mind.
"Hey"
"go"
The old professor sighed helplessly.
Mei packed her things and left the research institute.
She then silently began to arrange Kevin's funeral, watching as those who knew Kevin came to pay their respects, and watching Kevin's family leave Canghai City with Kevin's ashes, their backs aching.
In the end, Mei returned home alone. After packing some things, she quickly left home and came to a deserted beach in Canghai City.
It was noon at that moment.
After arranging everything, Mei sat quietly on the beach, looking at the distant sea. Around her was a simple timed ignition device, and the fuel she mixed herself was enough to completely burn the corpse, Mei's own.
"..."
Mei drew a sharp knife and gently sliced open her right wrist, calmly watching the blood flow from her veins, as if she were doing something completely unrelated to herself.
Whether in dreams or reality, I will always be with you.
May threw away the knife in her hand and tightly hugged part of Kevin's urn to her chest. She was bleeding more and more, and in a minute, May knew she would faint from blood loss, but then the timed incinerator would burn her to death.
"10"
"9"
Mei silently counted down the countdown before she fainted.
"..."
Suddenly, Mei felt a gaze watching her from afar.
That gaze was all too familiar to Mei.
"3, 2"
Before losing consciousness, Mei saw the young man she knew come to her side. At that moment, he had already picked up a knife and pointed it at his own heart. Then he looked at Mei and nodded.
'A dream, is it?'
Mei's consciousness then plunged into darkness.
The young man beside her also collapsed into Mei's arms after committing suicide.
A fierce flame then rose up, swept across, and engulfed the two men.
When the police arrived at the scene after receiving the report, several hours had passed. There was a burning area about 2 meters wide. Everything in this area, including the ashes, had been reduced to ashes, and all traces were gone, making it impossible to tell what had happened.
However, based on their investigation, the police discovered what appeared to be a case of a couple committing suicide together. But there was very little evidence of the case; all that was known was that a man and a woman died together, but all other information had been burned away.
One thing that is certain is that the couple was able to concoct a special fuel that was not available on the market, allowing them to die simultaneously with minimal impact.
Mei regained consciousness
When she realized she was still alive, she felt not relief that she had survived, but rather a deep curiosity.
"Wow"
Mei felt her body being lifted out of some kind of liquid, and the person gently wiped the liquid off Mei's body.
However, Mei felt extremely weak and unable to move at all.
But Mei still tried her best to open her eyes.
"plum"
A familiar voice reached Mei's ears.
Mei shifted her gaze and saw Kevin, the young man who should have been dead.
Those who should have died included Mei herself.
However, neither she nor Kevin is dead yet.
Mei was still unable to speak; her body remained extremely weak, as if she hadn't moved for a long time.
Mei looked away from Kevin, who was blushing as he wiped Mei's naked body.
A few minutes later, Mei felt that she was able to speak.
"Were...all...people...put...in...cans...?"
Mei was still staring at the enormous, awe-inspiring contraption that filled her entire field of vision. One cylindrical jar after another was linked together to form an even larger cylinder, with metal channels near each layer of jars leading to the bottom. And these cylinders seemed to be distributed around something.
Inside the countless jars, there were only humans.
"Hmm," Kevin said as he helped Mei change her clothes.
"The people here are all stuffed into jars, and I dare not open them myself."
"When I woke up, there was no one around. It took me a lot of effort to open the jar and get out."
These cans are next to an abandoned city.
"I tried getting back into an empty can and then getting back to the other side."
Kevin told May about his experiences here during this time.
When he first woke up, he was extremely confused. He thought he had been hit by a car and died, but he didn't expect that he hadn't died. Instead, he found himself in a strange and eerie jar.
After emerging from the jar, Kevin tried to find any other living creatures, but he found nothing. He only saw some very simple plants, not even any slightly more advanced animals, let alone humans.
Around this enormous canister, Kevin discovered three abandoned cities, all of which seemed to have once been inhabited by humans. Kevin saw a lot of information about these places, including the Honkai Impact 3rd, the Herrschers, the impending destruction of Earth, the Fire Moth, the Fusion Warriors, and so on.
But who built this canister device—other humans, Herrschers, or aliens? Kevin had no idea. He found nothing but this apocalyptic scene.
Later, Kevin tried to return to the jar again. After losing consciousness, he found himself successfully back in the world he used to live in, or perhaps it should be called a false virtual world.
Kevin didn't know if it was a virtual world or not, because it felt too real.
In any case, Kevin was glad to be alive again. However, not long after, he discovered an awkward problem: his identity had been cancelled, making it difficult to find anywhere to stay in Canghai City.
Fortunately, when Kevin reappeared, the clothes he had put inside the jar also reappeared, otherwise an even more embarrassing situation would have occurred.
After returning to the virtual world, Kevin was eager to see Mei again, but he dared not reveal his identity or be discovered by anyone he knew. Kevin felt that this virtual world was created by the 12th Herrscher, and that it must be watching from somewhere.
Kevin still has no memory of what powers the 12th Herrscher possesses, or why she can put all of humanity into jars.
Kevin then discovers that May is attempting suicide, which initially frightens and alarms him. However, he quickly realizes that this is a virtual world and that he and May will not die.
So Kevin followed May and committed suicide in the virtual world.
"So, to return to the virtual world, you need to enter the jar; to get out of the virtual world, you need to commit suicide within it?"
After listening to Kevin's account, May quickly concluded that the two of them had already reached the ground.
"Yes, we can only return to the real world after dying in the virtual world. Also, we don't have any special abilities in the virtual world."
Kevin said.
"In the real world, my power has been greatly weakened."
He then conjured a block of ice and threw it at the metal base not far away; the sound of the ice hitting the ground reached their ears.
Where's the food?
"The liquid in those jars is peculiar; it can not only be drunk, but also filled through skin contact."
"How long have these jars been there? Is there any maintenance equipment used to keep them?"
Mei asked questions while observing the metal and glass jars herself.
"I don't know," Kevin replied helplessly.
To Mei's surprise, she found no trace of dust at all, not even on the metal floor closest to the soil, and the cans were always functioning normally.
Either these containers were recently maintained, or they don't need any maintenance at all.
After conducting a simple experiment, Mei discovered that everything here was exactly the same as everything in the virtual world, except for these jars built by an unknown person and the existence of the Honkai disaster.
"Dreams and reality..."
How can you tell the difference? Where exactly is the dream, and where is reality?
Mei was lost and confused.
Kevin remained silent at this moment.
Now that we know the truth about the Honkai, what should we do next?
Chapter 329 The Garden of Reality
May and Kevin went to great lengths to reach a base of the Fire Moths near the abandoned city.
However, the base was obviously abandoned and there were no living creatures there. Fortunately, Mei found some usable power generation equipment and fuel in the base's energy zone.
However, these power generation devices are not the source of electricity for this base; the Honkai energy reactor, which has already ceased operation, is.
"Is this the Honkai energy?" Mei stood by the window, holding an old instruction manual, while observing the sealed Honkai energy reactor.
According to the description, the Honkai Energy Reactor can still safely store Honkai Energy even if it stops. As long as the storage device is not opened or damaged, it is very safe.
