Mei asked curiously:”But… people outside, do they know the answers to these questions?”

Dad replied:”I don’t think they know. However, this is exactly why they don’t like to hear such questions. reason”.

“Why is this? Mei continued to ask.

Dad thought for a while and replied:”Because they lack some courage to face life.” You’re still young… maybe you really can’t realize this.”

“……”

This is the memory that belongs to Mei, and the memory that Kevin heard her talk about.

Kevin took a step forward.

The memory faded, replaced by another memory.

It was still Mei’s voice:”Please imagine a possibility. For a time and space that is broader than the universe, your consciousness and your life itself may have appeared countless times – but you can never realize this.”

Kevin thought about her words and said softly:”If I can never realize it…doesn’t it mean that there is no difference whether this assumption exists?”

Su said:”I can’t think so at all.. This kind of thinking will affect your view of the world and life to some extent.”

“Yeah?”Kevin scratched his head, he didn’t quite understand.

Mei said:”Let’s use an analogy. Have you ever heard the story about the poor man and the rich man sunbathing together?”

Kevin immediately remembered it and said with great expressiveness:”Oh, it’s the story about the rich man who made more money than he could spend in several lifetimes, but in the end he just sunbathe leisurely like the poor man?

Mei nodded:”Yes, it’s a famous sophistry, isn’t it?””

“Sunbathing was just one of the many freedoms that the rich man had. But for the poor man, he probably only has the freedom to bask in the sun”

“Well……”

Kevin mused:”I feel like after you made this analogy, things became more difficult to understand.……”

Su Bangmei explained:”What she means is that the same result does not mean the same process. Especially for philosophy, ‘questions’ are often more important than ‘answers'”

“……oh.”Kevin nodded, as if he understood, but seemed not to understand.

Mei patiently explained again:”What Su just said is indeed one aspect of the matter. However, just like the rich man in the story not only has the freedom to bask in the sun——”

“For us, with the help of parallel truths, we can also push our understanding of the world further”

“So, what I really want to say is……”

“I thought of an experiment that could partially test whether the idea I just said is true. but——”

“For now, I’m missing one of the most crucial witnesses. Su said:”But… Mei, is it really possible for such a witness to exist?” Even if cycles do exist in the universe, the process itself is enough to destroy all history unknown to us.

Mei said:”It depends on whether the truths that control the universe from the outside will leak any clues inside the universe.””

“From this perspective – the incompleteness theorem of logical systems is actually our friend”

“After all, if even the universe itself cannot achieve a self-consistent closed loop in the causal relationship… then for any description system, over time, observers will inevitably find its flaws.——”

“And then, gain insight into new truths”

“……”

Kevin took a step forward again.

This memory also disappeared accordingly.

This was the time when the three of them discussed their conjectures together, although he mostly just listened.

Then…Kevin takes another step.

A new memory emerged.

It was the conversation between Mei and Alicia.

Alicia asked:”How is it? Are the test results correct? Just like what I said, Alicia is a genuine Herrscher.”

“……Um. Mei responded softly, and then continued:”It’s funny, I once calculated the probability of your type of Herrscher appearing – it requires thirty to thirty-five zeros after the decimal point.”

Alicia smiled and asked,”Really?” But I obviously feel that I am very ordinary.”

Mei said:”For your subjective feelings, this may be true. Based on the accidental symmetry breaking, you escape the bondage called finality. If I use a somewhat strange metaphor——”

“It’s like someone defying the laws of thermodynamics and boiling coffee in a cup with ice cubes.

Alicia said:”Wow!” That is truly a rare spectacle in the universe. Thank you, Mei! I seem to have become more confident about what I want to do next.〃~ ”

Mei said:”……wish you success”

“of course. Alicia looked at her seriously and said,”You are the guarantee of my luck, Mei.””

“Maybe not every member of Fire Chaser likes you…but no one can deny your ability, and no one can deny your contribution.”

“The things I am going to do can only be achieved by relying on everything you create.”

“You don’t have a way to return to collapse like me.”

“You don’t have the power to fight Honkai like Kevin does.”

“But your wisdom can penetrate into the nature of the world and point out the only possible way forward for mankind trapped in the whirlpool.”

“Of course there are irreparable mistakes and unacceptable sacrifices – but in the face of such an unreasonable world, who can say that they can lead everyone forward smoothly?”

“……Thanks. Mei looked at her gratefully and said,”But to be honest – what everyone is most afraid of about me is not the mistakes themselves, is it?”

Alicia said:”Well… maybe that’s true.” But in my opinion, that is also an important reason why everyone trusts you so much. Kevin should understand this best, right?”

“Ah, by the way, you can tell him exactly what I said just now.——”

Huh~

Kevin couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

Although the moment he exhaled, it was condensed into small ice crystals.

He hesitated for a moment.

He took a step forward anyway.

Even though… in this memory are the two women he cares about most.

But… I said I wanted to move forward.

He must move forward.

Take this step forward.

New memories are also coming in

“What are you doing?”

Mei saw Kevin and Su looking sneaky.

Kevin replied hesitantly:”Uh…it’s nothing.

Su Ze replied honestly:”We are communicating about the change of plans.” Although I understand the reason for changing the executor of the Stigma Project to Kevin……”

“But, you should have informed me in advance, Mei.

Mei said:”Didn’t Kevin tell you?” This was his own application. Su said:”I know, but……”

Mei continued directly:”Everyone needs something to force themselves to keep moving forward. You are like this, and so is he.”

Su:”……”

Mei continued:”Su. If the Stigmata Project is in your hands… then from a strategic perspective, I think Kevin’s analysis is right – we have actually lost this choice.’”

“……Did I said wrong thing?”

Su shook his head:”……No.

Mei Zhengse said:”Then, from an organizational point of view, I ask you to accept this arrangement.””

“……yes.”

Su nodded.

Seeing his tone and expression, Mei added:”I understand your mood. It’s just that we cannot use personal likes and dislikes to measure the value of strategy.”

“The Stigmata Project will only be the worst plan…but as the final guarantee to help civilization escape its fate, it must indeed exist, even if we will suffer because of it——”

“——Sacrifice your most important life, honor, and even value.”

Kevin continued to take a step forward.

He was getting closer and closer to his goal.

But the memory also emerged again.

Mei found Kevin and asked:”……Kevin. What do you think of recent events?”

Kevin asked:”This… what are you referring to? Mei said:”Let’s start with this – I am assigning impossible plans to your partners.””

Kevin said:”……People always have an ideal goal. Doing something you know is impossible – although it is futile, it is better than complete despair.

Mei looked at him:”So…where are you?” Unlike them, you are saddled with a plan that you can actually accomplish.”

Kevin replied directly:”This is everyone’s trust in me. Of course I will go all out to fulfill my mission. Mei shook her head:”……That’s not what I’m asking, Kevin”

“When I study Honkai and the fate of mankind, I can at least feel the joy of discovering the truth. But what do you gain from all this? That’s not your intention, right?”

Kevin said:”���Seeing you realize your own value makes me satisfied”

“……”

Mei was silent

“Kevin. When you lead your companions, you say that people always have an ideal goal – in this case, how can your goal be just me? ?”

“Regardless of the intimacy of the relationship, I am a different person than you. Targeting something that is close to his heart… at least in my opinion, it is just a temporary passion after all.”

Kevin was anxious and hurriedly wanted to explain:”Mei, I……”

Before he could say anything, Mei interrupted him:”Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that this matter must be changed from now on.”

“But Kevin – you know very well that I don’t have the physical tools to be a fusion warrior.”

“Your life may still be very long… One day in the future, you will always say goodbye to me and find your own path again.”

“At least then, it should no longer be anyone’s accessory…even if that person is me.”

The memory disappeared again.

Kevin let out a long sigh.

At this time, enter Teyvat.

Countless people stared in disbelief.

【Yae Shenzi】:”This is actually Kevin? Shouldn’t he be an extremely cold Riddler at this time? Why are you acting like a love idiot?”

【thunder movie】:”After all, it was my previous life. Even Kevin became so obedient.”

【Nasida】:”Ah…my eyes, this is not the Kevin in my heart”

【Fonina】:”my idol! Why did my dream self become a love brain?!!”

【Paimon】:”This Kevin is completely different from my impression. He is a fake Kevin.”

【Wendy】:”Why do birds fly when their front feet are still on? Now Mei, you are my everything?”

【Lynette】:”I didn’t feel it at first, but now it seems that Kevin really loves Mei, but… what I feel is sadness. Although I love her so much, I have lost her for 50,000 years.”

【Zhongli】:”Generally speaking, you don’t need to say it here.”

【Nasida】:”……I just had some fun, give me a knife”

【Fonina】:”When you say this, I feel extremely uncomfortable. It is obvious that Kevin loves Mei so deeply.”

【Ganyu】:”So… is God Lord Lin Hao’s real purpose actually to find Lord Thunder God? It’s just that Lord Thor didn’t come out, so he kept waiting”

【Yae Shenzi】:”.々 My god, how long do you plan to keep Lin Hao waiting?”

【thunder movie】:”I…I’m still not sure whether there is an afterlife or not…This goes against my pursuit.……”

【Paimon】:”A new memory screen appears!”

Seeing Paimon’s words, everyone looked to the sky.

This memory still belongs to Kevin and May.

May asked Kevin:”……Kevin. In your opinion, what is the most wonderful thing about life?

Kevin asked with a smile:”You want to hear the truth?” Mei chuckled and said,”Even if you want to lie, you can only deceive me for three seconds.” when���, and you are not allowed to say that the answer is to meet me.”

Seeing that the answer he wanted to say was blocked.

Kevin had no choice but to say:”Okay. Hmm…let me think……”

“ah. Although it is a bit strange to say this——”

“When we were still in school, we boys would collectively skip class to listen to Eden’s concerts… The air of freedom at that time was probably the so-called beauty of life. Mei smiled and said:”This way of not doing anything in the future is really worthy of you.” You should have said that at that time, right?”

“I’m still relatively a high school student! Living more innocently and happily is like me.”

This is indeed what Kevin himself once said.

When I hear this sentence again, I can’t help but sigh:”……yes. Everyone has changed.

Then he shook his head and changed his words:”No – Mei, you are the only one among us who has never changed.” Just like the truth you have been searching for.”

Mei said:”……If the truth could change like people, maybe the world would be a better place.”

“Kevin. In my opinion, the most wonderful thing about life is that it is obviously a creation of the truth, but it can gradually understand and master the truth by its own strength.”

“Although, you also know… As long as our understanding goes deeper, the cruelty behind this beauty will become more obvious.”

“Ignorance is bliss – whether it was the illusory beliefs of the past or the recent Twilight Street prophet.”

Kevin said:”But you are different”

“certainly. Mei nodded:”Is this the so-called ambition?””

“Although from a utilitarian point of view, people will also say, ‘Sail against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.’——But (Zhao Zhao Zhao) at least for me, compared to the so-called ‘must be so’’,‘Curiosity’ is the real force that can push people forward”

“I don’t know if you ever thought about this question when you were a kid…I mean, I once asked my father this——”

“Dad, we actually have life…don’t you think it’s amazing?”

Kevin said doubtfully:”……magic?

Mei nodded:”Yes.” Since everything in the universe is so rich – then why, it is ‘I’ who perceives’ my life’?”

“Why was I born?”

“Why were you born on earth?”

“Why are we born human?”

“Why were you born in this era?”

“Why were you born female?”

“And why – I’m observing ‘Kevin’ through ‘May’s’ eyes, not observing ‘May’ through ‘Kevin’s’ eyes’?”

“……You see, there are a series of unanswerable questions here”

“correct. You’ve heard of the statement that electrons are physically indistinguishable, right?”

After listening to so much,

Kevin was finally able to answer a question.

He quickly said:”Oh, I seem to know this. It means that electrons, as basic particles, do not have characteristics that are sufficient to distinguish each other like actual objects, so once they are mixed together, it is no longer possible to distinguish who is who, right?”

Mei nodded and said,”Yes. So some people have suggested that maybe there is actually only one electron in the universe. It travels through all time and space in high dimensions and exists in the world at the same time as ‘every’ electron in our eyes.”

Kevin said with emotion:”……This is really a weird romance. Mei continued:”There is a more romantic way of saying it.” For example, there is a whimsical philosophy that believes that the universe is a superposition of a series of infinitely repeated fates, and each consciousness in it is nothing more than a special state of a common soul.”

“To put it simply, to use the traditional superstition of reincarnation – maybe I will become a victim of Twilight Street in the next life, and I will become the robot Prometheus in the next life, and so on.”.
