"Even in those times, there were such happy memories~"
Meiyi: "..."
... ... ....
"But... after knowing the outcome, the happiness we once had... will turn into sadness, won't it?"
Alicia didn't deny it: "Perhaps... there's a touch of sadness in it."
"But I think it wasn't pain, but rather a kind of joy?"
"Be happy for having experienced some kind of happiness, and look forward to miracles happening in the future."
Everything has two sides, right?
“Look,” Alicia pointed to the photo, “even after going through something like that, Kevin can still remember… how a person should smile, right?”
"If this photo hadn't been taken, Mei might never have witnessed this scene."
"It's also rare to see Sakura and Mei dressed up, Kosmo before he grew horns, and Destobia and Hen as they were..."
"Now that you've not only seen them, but also remembered them, isn't that a joyful thing? At least, I'm very happy!"
……
Meiyi: "..."
She truly admired the girl's mindset.
Similarly, players admire and love Alicia for this.
Even though the previous civilization had been destroyed, and most of the people she knew were gone; even though she retained all the memories of fighting against the Honkai 5 years ago...
Sad, regretful, happy... all of them.
But... what she cared about were all those happy memories.
Every little detail, every corner, has been meticulously preserved, and I will face those memories with a positive attitude.
Look at Kevin, who's still alive, how obsessed he's become?
Let's look at Alicia again...
It's not that I'm trying to lower Kevin's profile, but rather...
A girl like Alicia, who always faces each day with positivity... is just too perfect, too attractive.
PS: It seems like the quality has dropped somewhat.
However, these dialogues are either foreshadowing or setting the stage for the knife later on, making it difficult to choose... I have tried to omit a lot of details.
Chapter 277 When you close the game, will you still think of them?
"So, for the next memory, I want to take you to a special place."
"Is there any special consideration?"
"Consider? Not really." Alicia pondered for a moment, then said, "Hmm..."
"Should I say...it's just for a sense of ritual?"
"You see, Mei already knows a little bit about what happened after the Seventh Honkai Impact."
"From the Eighth Herrscher to the Eleventh Herrscher, we have been constantly moving forward in a cycle of gaining and losing."
"Although each segment is an important story, recounting them all would inevitably be somewhat cumbersome."
Many viewers disagreed with Alicia's statement.
They are really curious about the stories of pre-civilizations.
In the hearts of countless players, there is actually a hidden expectation.
I'm looking forward to miHoYo releasing a standalone story about pre-civilization.
The scene of countless fusion warriors working together to defeat the Herrscher... just thinking about it is exciting.
Although it's expensive, but... MiHoYo should have plenty of money by now, right?
Moreover, they believe that as long as miHoYo is willing to make it, it will definitely be incredibly profitable.
Hmm... turning it into an anime would definitely be a profitable business.
Unfortunately, Mo Li has no such plans at the moment.
Perhaps... after Honkai Impact 3rd ends, Mo Li will consider turning this game into an anime?
……
In the game, Mei and Alicia walked out of the archives while talking to each other.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived at a viewing platform, and in the middle of the platform stood a doorway.
"Next, I think we can jump straight into the [climax]."
"You'll understand once you go through that door."
Mei was curious, but she walked through the door side by side with Alicia.
The audience was incredibly curious; what was behind the door...?
The scene that unfolded was actually the Paradise Hall...
Mei also felt somewhat confused during the game.
"...Isn't this the Paradise Hall?"
Alicia smiled and nodded: "Mmm~ This is where we first met~"
Mei: "It's a very convenient way to teleport... but why did we have to come back here in the first place?"
“Because the following story is related to it~” Alicia looked at the scenery around the hall, her eyes seemingly revealing a hint of emotion.
"This is where [us] begins."
"Oh, this time it doesn't refer to me and Mei..."
Mei nodded: "It's the [Thirteen Heroes of the Flame Chaser], right? You mentioned before that this place was once used as the council hall for the heroes in reality."
Alicia: "Yes, it was right here that I proudly announced this name to the world—"
……
Immediately afterwards, Alicia told Mei about her announcement of the formation of the "Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chaser".
Even amidst Alicia's cheerful voice, Mei could still sense the... heavy atmosphere of that moment.
It's easy to imagine that things were already incredibly difficult for humanity at that point in time...
Moreover, to Mei's utter surprise, when Alicia submitted her suggestion to establish the "Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chaser," the management of the Fire Chaser Moth did not agree.
"The Moth that Chases the Flame...does it not acknowledge the [Thirteen Heroes]?"
Alicia sighed, "...As expected, presenting this 'fact' so directly is still a little sad."
"Moreover, listening to that conversation again... even I would feel frustrated."
Her smile remained unchanged, but... Mei saw... loneliness and loss in it.
That's really rare.
And...why do I feel a little sorry for this girl?
"I never imagined... that what you called the 'beginning' would actually be the 'end'."
Who would have thought that the "Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire" would disband before it even began...
"But...why is that?"
"I've had many guesses about Yingjie's system, but none of them include this situation..."
"I think it's a reasonable idea, at least it's valuable to you."
"Mei... have you ever considered that perhaps the problem lies with the [value]?" Alicia quickly composed herself, and a smile reappeared on her pretty face.
Even if what I say now will make her feel frustrated and disappointed...
"After all, in a sense, being a 'hero' is also a kind of 'privilege,' and once it rises to the organizational level, it will involve many problems."
"The Fire-Chasing Moth doesn't really want certain people to have special privileges... If that's the case, Mei should be able to make some connections, right?"
Mei did indeed think of that.
Among the heroes, there are characters like Alicia, who are loved by everyone.
But equally, there are also characters who inspire fear, resentment, and hatred—
For example, Thousand Calamities and Mebius.
And then there's Aponia... who keeps practicing her "goodness," but no matter what she does, the final result always inadvertently leads events towards "evil"—Aponia.
Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for the Yingjie system to be rejected.
Perhaps, this is what they call "fate's joke."
"You see, we can't say that the higher-ups made things up out of thin air. They had their own considerations, and they were reasonable and correct."
