About my outrageous life in Honkai Impact III

"Why are you my companion again this time?"

After receiving the mission assignment from Gray Snake, Mei packed up her equipment and came to the helipad, where she saw Raven who had been waiting for a long time.

"You don't even want to play, Miss. I'm the only officer who can accompany you."

Raven was playing with a kunai, with a helpless expression. Among all the cadres of World Snake, only she and Raiden Mei were capable of fighting and could go out on field missions. The others were either nowhere to be seen or were weaklings.

"Let's go quickly, or those guys might have finished it by the time we're late."

Raven put away her kunai and said lazily that their mission this time was relatively simple. They just had to kill all those people pretending to be the World Snake.

"Okay, let's go."

The two took a plane to the target city, and as soon as they landed, Raven took Mei to a small alley on the edge of the city.

At the deepest part of the alley was a bar. Mei followed Raven in and found that the bar was empty.

"What did you bring me here for?"

Mei looked at him strangely. Could it be that Raven was craving for a drink?

"This is my bar, let's take a break here."

Raven lowered his hood and walked behind the bar, looking at the bottles on the cabinet and selecting what he wanted.

"What would you like to drink? I can make it for you."

"Thank you, I don't drink."

Mei declined, saying that she didn't know how to drink. The only time she drank was when she celebrated Luo Chen's birthday in Saint Freya, and she got drunk after just a few drinks.

"Are you sure you don't want to try? I'm pretty good at mixing drinks."

Raven took out the cocktail making tools, and seeing that Mei still refused, she didn't ask again.

"Well, you always drink juice, right? I'll make you a glass."

Mei didn't refuse anymore and watched Raven prepare a glass of juice with superb skills, put it in a high-heeled glass and put a slice of lemon in it.

"Please, Miss."

Raven handed the cup to Mei, picked up a bottle of red wine and poured it into the cup, then sat opposite Mei.

"I'm curious why you opened a bar here."

Mei took a sip of juice. The decoration of this bar was so high-end. Raven must have put a lot of thought into it.

"No reason, this is where I started."

Raven let out a long sigh, put down his glass, and told Mei his story.

"When I was very young, I lived with my parents and my brother in a small town in Siberia. Life at that time was carefree and happy. Until the second collapse came..."

Raven drank the red wine, turned the edge of the glass, and a layer of haze covered his eyes.

"My parents died under the claws of the Honkai beast. My brother took me to escape, but he also died under the erosion of Honkai. If Lady Cecilia hadn't used her life to bring down a black rain, I'm afraid I would have died with my brother and them."

"Later, the Gray Snake found me when I was dying, took me back to the World Snake and saved me. Then, he raised me and taught me many things."

Raven said this and poured himself another glass of wine. Seeing that Mei had finished her juice, he stood up to make her another glass.

"You don't have to bother. I'll just drink this."

Mei picked up the red wine on the table, poured herself a small glass, and asked Raven to sit down and continue her story.

"My dear lady, you don't have to force yourself. Otherwise, Luo Chen will beat me up if he finds out."

"You seem to be very afraid of Luo Chen?"

Several cadres of the World Snake are more or less in awe of Luo Chen. Even Kevin's attitude towards him is different from that of other cadres, which makes Meiyi very puzzled.

"How can I not be afraid? He really dares to chop me with a knife. I'm still young, but I don't want to die so early."

Raven teased, continuing to tell Mei his story.

"When I grew up, there was a period of time when I didn't like being in World Snake, so I chose to go out and work on my own. I originally wanted to open a coffee shop, but due to various factors, I opened this bar."

"Then why did you return to World Serpent in the end?"

Mei was still not used to the taste of wine. After drinking this small cup, she pushed the cup aside and supported her head with one hand.

"I can't help it. The money they pay is several times what I can earn outside."

Raven spread his hands. The salary given by World Snake was really too high. Especially with the monthly subsidies and huge bonuses for cadres every year, each of these items could beat the money he made when working alone.

Mei felt that there was nothing wrong with this reason coming from Raven's mouth. After all, she had many children to raise.

"Speaking of which, Raven, I heard from Luo Chen that you seemed to have bought an island before. And then due to an accident, the island eventually sank."

Mei was bringing up something that was irrelevant. Raven had almost forgotten about the incident, but after she reminded him, he remembered it again. He was so angry that he crushed the goblet in his hand.

"That boyfriend of yours really tells you everything."

"And I also heard that you seemed to be crying and making a fuss in the room, and finally ran out and shouted to the sea, 'Humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai'."

The more Mei spoke, the more she wanted to laugh. She ignored Raven's eyes that were about to spit fire with anger. Anyway, she didn't dare to hit herself, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to beat her.

"Ms. Raiden Mei, could you please not mention these things in front of me? I really don't want to recall those unbearable things again."

Raven cleaned up the broken pieces of the glass and sat on the chair to drink. Now those guys pretending to be the World Snake hadn't made any move. When they showed up, he would send them to hell.

"Raven, have you ever been to the paradise of the past?"

"Yes, I have been in there. What's wrong? If you have any questions, I will try my best to tell you what I know."

Raven put down her wine glass. Her memories of the paradise in her past life were somewhat not pleasant, especially those of a few heroes.

"There is a hero named Chen, do you know him?"

"What, a hero named Chen?"

Raven was stunned. It seemed that there was no such person in the paradise of the past. Did Mei remember it wrong or did she miss it?

"There are a total of thirteen heroes in the paradise of the past. I have met them all, but it seems that there is no hero named Chen."

Raven recalled all the heroes he had seen and was sure that there was no hero named Chen. If Mei remembered correctly, then had he encountered some big news?

"Where did you find this hero?"

"There is a small shop in the Paradise of the Past, and I bought a can of Yingjie's tea there."

"The small shop... that should be opened by that Ying Jie."

Raven became interested. Since the item was bought from the hero named [Kong Meng], then this hero named Chen must exist.

"There are fourteen of the Thirteen Heroes Chasing the Fire. What kind of hot-blooded anime setting is this?"

After hearing what Raven said, Mei roughly understood. On the surface, there were thirteen heroes in the Paradise of the Past, but in fact, there was another hero who had been hiding and there was not even a record of him.

"But why does this Yingjie want to hide himself? Is he a social phobia?"

Considering that all the heroes were more or less seriously ill, Raven guessed the purpose of Qichen's doing this.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Mei didn't believe it. She had met nearly half of the Yingjies now. They did have different personalities, but they had all become Yingjies. They shouldn't have social phobias, right?
