Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

After calling Alicia, Jiuxiao was still a little worried and prepared to rush back to Canghai City from Mu Continent overnight.

When he was about to go out, he happened to bump into Mebius who was walking unsteadily with his head down.

Jiuxiao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Mebius, but Mebius seemed not to have seen it at all and was still minding his own business, walking like a zombie.

"Mebius? What's wrong?" Jiuxiao grabbed Mebius and asked with concern.

"Oh...it's Jiuxiao...just in time...please ask for a leave for me, I want to go home."

Mebius raised his head and glanced at Jiuxiao, then lowered his head again and continued walking on his own.

"Hmm? Asking for leave?"

Jiuxiao looked at Mebius's back, which was shaking a little as he walked, with doubts in his heart. What's going on? I don't even have time to send a message asking for leave.

He casually sent a message to the experimental team where Mebius was working to ask for leave, and then Jiuxiao followed Mebius silently, wanting to see what happened at Mebius's house and what happened.

Following Mebius, he turned around and walked through many streets, and finally saw Mebius's home, an exquisite small villa, in a somewhat deserted neighborhood.

Judging from the appearance of her home, the Mebius family used to be quite wealthy, but now it has declined...

Ever since Mebius's mother became seriously ill, all the money in the family seemed to have been set on fire and was quickly consumed.

Mebius stood outside the door and paused for a long, long time.

Jiuxiao, who was hiding behind Mebius, couldn't see Mebius's face. He didn't know what her expression was now, but she must be very sad...

Finally, it was Mebius' father who noticed someone at the entrance and opened the door. He is not very old, but he already has a lot of white hair and wrinkles, and his face is full of vicissitudes of life and fatigue.

Mebius's father looked at Mebius with his head lowered outside the door and asked softly in as gentle a voice as possible.

"Why don't you come in...?"

Mebius said nothing and could only lower his head.

"Oh, come in..."

Mebius's father took Mebius's hand and returned to the room.

The father and daughter stood in front of Mebius's mother's bed, looking at her dead body in silence.

"I've called the people at the funeral home, they should be here soon... Is there anything else you want to say to mom?"

"No...no..."

Even if I say it, I can't hear it anymore...

Mebius looked at his mother's body quietly, lost in confusion and questions.

"Dad...do you know...why people die?"

"I don't know... there is a cycle of life and death in all lives. Precisely because of the existence of death, life is more precious, and we must better control the time we live..."

"Um……"

The father and daughter didn't say anything more after that, and didn't know what to say. They just stood quietly, waiting for the people from the funeral home to come and take away the body...

There was a hazy drizzle in the sky, and Mebius's father followed the people at the funeral home to the funeral home.

A few minutes later, Mebius came out of the house in despair, preparing to go to the laboratory to divert his attention and ease his sadness by concentrating on experiments.

The rain wet Mebius' body, but she was absent-minded and didn't care about the condition of her body, just walking in a daze.

The rain soaked Mebius's hair, and her water-stained clothes clung to her skin, making her already thin and petite look particularly weak and helpless at this moment.

Jiuxiao held up an umbrella and walked to Mebius to protect her from the rain.

Mebius never mentioned his family to himself or Einstein, and Jiuxiao didn't ask about it.

If he had known that Mebius had a seriously ill mother, Jiuxiao might have been able to cure her... But now, the souls of the dead creatures have dissipated...

Jiuxiao cannot bring back the souls of the dead, it can only resurrect the bodies of the dead. This result is meaningless.

Mebius walked for a while before realizing that Jiuxiao had been holding an umbrella for her for a while. She stretched out her hand to catch the rainwater that fell from the edge of the umbrella.

"Oh...it turns out it's raining."

"Well...it's raining."

"Haha, it rains after death. According to the custom in China, this is a good sign..."

Jiuxiao remained silent and did not answer Mebius, because it was better not to answer such a question.

Mebius also knew that such words were boring, so he didn't say anything more. They are scientific researchers and believe in some scientific facts more than folk culture.

However, at this time, Mebius still wanted to believe something in his heart. I believe this is the rain that turned into the rain after my mother died, the rain that blessed them, and the rain that my mother has always been by my side to accompany me.

"Jiuxiao, do you know what death is? And why do people die..."

"Sorry, I can't give you an answer."

"Really? Yes..."

Mebius was puzzled by Jiuxiao's unknown answer, but he was relieved.

Even I, who studies biology, can't figure out what death is. How can Jiuxiao, who studies artificial intelligence, give me a convincing answer?

Yes, he is Mebius who aspires to become the most powerful biologist! If you can't give an insight into death, how can you expect ordinary people to tell you the answer?

Mebius took a few deep breaths. She still couldn't accept her mother's death, but compared to the sadness and sorrow, Mebius now had a different kind of strong emotion rising in her heart.

Death, study death, fight against death, until you finally master death.

Confronting such an ancient and mysterious law as death would be so exhilarating and... terrifying.
