Honkai Impact: You still owe me a dance

For the next period of time, Bai Yan stayed in St. Freya Academy, paying attention to Anna's situation, and accompanying Ling to train her on the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

During this period of time, Bai Yan also received a lot of news.

For example, Mei heard that World Snake's headquarters was attacked, but was repelled by Kevin.

For example, Bronya reported that when she was looking for Fu Hua in China, she was attacked by a stranger, causing the heavy-armed rabbit to be severely injured.

This information undoubtedly revealed a new piece of information. Bai Yan didn't say anything about it, but leaned on the recliner and basked in the sun every day.

"Teacher Bai Yan, why are you lying here basking in the sun again!"

Anna, who had now regained consciousness, also recognized Bai Yan as the teacher who had taught her, and placed a cup of tea next to Bai Yan.

"Didn't you tell me everything? Anna! You don't have to worry about him!"

After Ling put down Anna's tea, she took her back to the room.

"But Ling, as a student, isn't it your duty to take care of your teacher?"

Since the bell forced its way into Anna's consciousness, although Anna has regained consciousness, her personality has changed somewhat.

In her eyes, it seemed that she wanted to pay attention to Bai Yan's daily life all day long.

As for this matter, Bai Yan only has one opinion. Due to Ling's interference, although Anna's memory has not changed, her personality has returned to what it was before she became a Valkyrie.

In such a situation, only Ling can adjust her personality bit by bit, but now if Ling doesn't pay attention to her, Anna will run out.

After all, for Anna now, apart from Cecilia who is currently busy with St. Freya's affairs, there are only two people, Bai Yan and Ling.

At the same time, Mei Yi, who entered the Paradise of the Past, finally came to the real Paradise of the Past after her first battle in the Paradise.

"I'm here, hi, welcome back, how are you?"

When the pink girl greeted Mei Yi, although Mei Yi immediately entered a fighting state, she did not relax her vigilance.

Seeing Mei's rapid breathing, the pink girl asked with some concern.

"Yeah, it doesn't look good. It doesn't matter. It's always like this in the beginning. You'll get used to it slowly. Relax, let's take it step by step. Do you still remember where this is? But logically you should know it very well. Right."

For the pink girl who came to her, Mei suddenly remembered what Suzu had said.

That was after the Herrscher of Ice was dealt with, the chat between the two mentioned something about the Paradise of the Past.

"Ling, do you know much about the Paradise of the Past?"

"The Paradise of the Past? It was the last place where the Thirteen Heroes of the former civilization gathered, including your squad leader, Sister Hua, who was also one of the Thirteen Heroes. As for other people's news, I can't say too much. .Otherwise it won’t be fun when you go there.”

Ling stuck out her tongue at Mei Yi, but she still didn't want to say too much to Mei Yi for the time being.

"Really? But Teacher Bai Yan said that I need to go to the Paradise of the Past to find my answer."

Mei thought for a moment, and it seemed that the two points were not closely related.

"However, I can remind you that if you meet a fairy girl with pink hair, you can absolutely trust her. Also, remember to keep my situation a secret. I will also go there in a while. The paradise of the world.”

Suzu tilted her head slightly and signaled Mei to keep it secret for now.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to have such a thing. Do you know who I am? Why don't you guess?"

The pink girl ran up to Mei Yi, and regardless of whether she was on guard or something else, she got close to her face and smiled at her.

"Pink-haired fairy girl..."

"Hey, how do you know one of my nicknames? So, why did you come to the Paradise of the Past?"

The pink girl tilted her head and stared into Mei Yi's purple eyes with surprise.

And Mei Yi could clearly feel that the pink girl's eyes seemed to be full of curiosity and expectations for herself.

When Mei Yi was about to explain her situation, the other party suddenly took a step back and winked at Mei Yi.

"But something like this already shows your identity."

A pink crystal flower appeared under Mei Yi's gaze. The girl just gently stretched out her hand towards Mei Yi, and a crystal flower emerged from her chest.

"Isn't this...my crystal flower?"

The pink girl happily took the crystal flower that appeared from Mei Yi's arms.

"Unexpectedly, Xiao Baibai still remembers the agreement between me and him."

The girl handed the crystal flower to Mei and smiled slightly at her.

"Let me introduce myself again. This is the first time we meet. I am Alicia, the second among the Thirteen Heroes of the Former Civilization Fire Chaser. Just call me Ali."

"Thunderbolt Mei."

Listening to Alicia's self-introduction, Raiden Mei also said her name.

"Um, Yayi, can you tell me what the relationship is between you and Xiao Baibai, no, it should be Bai Yan, and him!"

"Bai Yan? He should be considered my teacher. Do you know him too?"

"Of course, in the Paradise of the Past, no one doesn't know him. Originally, the Thirteen Yingjie of Zhuhuo was supposed to be the one of the Fourteenth Yingjie, but as a result, he refused to become a Yingjie, so now there are Fourteen people."

At the mention of Bai Yan, Alicia seemed to become excited, and her happy smile from the bottom of her heart spread to Mei Yi's face.

"Well, I haven't said that in a while."

Alicia bent slightly and tilted her head to look into Mei's eyes.

"Welcome to the Paradise of the Past! Now let me, the beautiful girl like flying flowers, Alicia, act as Mei, your good guide in the Paradise of the Past."

Under the guidance of Alicia, Mei visited the hall of the Paradise of the Past.

What surprised Mei Yi was that the huge device suspended in the Paradise of the Past existed under the base of the World Snake. For so many years, no one had found the existence of the Paradise of the Past.

"Alicia, according to Teacher Bai Yan, the meaning of the existence of the Paradise of the Past is not just to provide trials for future generations?"

After Mei Yi looked around, she still thought about Alicia and asked her question.

"Yes, but not entirely."

Alicia turned to look at the device at the core of the Paradise of the Past, and patiently answered her questions to Mei.

"In fact, more people come here to pursue their own answers than to accept the test. Since Xiao Baibai has handed over the crystal flower to you, it has already shown that he thinks you can find it here. You’ve got your answer.”

"Answer....."

"Well, everyone's questions are different, but they can all be answered in the Paradise of the Past."

Alicia looked back at Mei.

"Mei Yi, that's why you're here, isn't it? Although Xiao Baibai has already given the crystal flower to you, it means that he plans to let you participate in the trial."

"Trial?"

"Well, next time, I will take you to meet everyone in Shisan Yingjie."

"Alicia, actually I have always had a question, why are there only thirteen Yingjie?"

Mei Yi actually doesn't understand this. According to what Bai Yan told him at the beginning, the purpose of the Paradise in the Past is to pave the way for future generations, but isn't the more memories that are preserved, the better?

"Well, actually there are some reasons in it."

Alicia sighed helplessly as she thought about what happened back then.

"The group Zhuhuo Yingjie was an unrecognized organization at the beginning. We named it ourselves. Even the Paradise of the Past was built privately by us. Although Xiao Baibai was also going around for this matter at that time I ran, but in the end there was no good result.”

"In other words, this is more like a private club than an official organization?"

Mei also understood what Alicia meant.

"As for Ying Jie, they are actually fusion warriors. As for Thirteen..."

"Does this mean that there are only thirteen fusion warriors left?"

"It's just what you think, but it's just a little bit off."

Even Ellie, who was always smiling, had a somewhat heavy tone to her voice.

"Since that disaster, the Thirteen Heroes of Zhuhuo are the last fourteen remaining fusion warriors."

"Fourteen?"

"According to Xiao Baibai, he didn't want to be one of them. Although he joined in the end, he didn't want to admit it. What else did he say? Fourteen or fourteen doesn't sound good. The Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire have fourteen Isn’t that a normal thing?”

Remembering how Bai Yan refused to agree to her, Alicia pouted in anger.

"In that era, the management of fusion warriors, in that endless troubled times, could almost be described as a piece of loose sand. Compared with soldiers, they were more like a mobile asset of the organization. Even in that era, he was unable to guarantee It’s just the income from the fusion warriors, you can’t get back anything else.”

"What's more, after that battle, Xiao Baibai also knew that everything above must be subverted. It's time to unite."

"While Xiao Baibai was fighting with the people above, a beautiful and kind-hearted girl stood up and promoted the birth of the Yingjie system."

Mei thought with her toes that the person Alicia was talking about was herself.

"According to this, Alicia, you are the master of the paradise?"

"I don't belong here alone. I've never been interested in things like masters and managers."

"But didn't you say that you are the founder of Yingjie?"

"Yes, that's why I gave up my position as the first leader, right? I gave it to Kevin. As for the things I manage, with Xiao Baibai here, I don't have to worry about anything."

Alicia whistled, showing that it had nothing to do with her.

"But are there really other people in the Paradise?"

After Mei Yi looked around, she couldn't see anyone.

"After all, I prefer to take the initiative to have wonderful encounters with visitors. As for my friends, they are a little shy. But in fact, everyone has already guessed that when you enter the Paradise of the Past, you will be with the little one. People related to Bai Bai will come here, but everyone is shy, but they are all waiting for you in the depths of the paradise."

While Alicia and Mei were chatting, they sat back on the sofa, crossed their legs, and carefully tasted the black tea in their hands.

"Really, Kevin is always like this. Every time people come in, they look confused and don't know anything. Do you really not know that beautiful girls can get tired?"

"Then, Alicia, next, do I need to continue exploring the Paradise of the Past?"

"Yes and no. Don't worry, they are all very good people. I will accompany you for a while. Then I will take you to meet a Ying Jie, who is also my best friend."

With that said, Alicia took Mei towards the portal in the middle of the hall.

"By the way, this is my seal, take it first."

Alicia stretched out her hand and put a crystal pattern inscription into Mei Yi's hand. When the inscription touched Mei Yi's palm, it integrated into her body, but Mei Yi didn't feel anything.

"Has it been absorbed? Are there any changes?"

Alicia had an expression of anticipation for Mei Yi, but there was no change on Mei Yi's face.

"It seems...nothing has changed?"

Mei was not sure, but looking at Alicia's expression, it seemed like there was something she had overlooked.

"Well, Mei, let's go quickly!"

Seeing that Mei Yi had not changed much, Alicia pushed Mei Yi into the portal.

After passing through the portal, the first thing that appeared was not a human figure, but the beautiful and profound sound of the piano, and then an elegant woman with long brown hair came into view.

"Ah, it's Eden..."

Alicia also lowered her voice, signaling Mei not to disturb Eden for the time being.

Listening to Eden's singing, Mei Yi hadn't listened to a song seriously for a long time.

In this harmonious melody, she seemed to remember the time when she and her father listened to the symphony in a concert not long ago.

In this kind of music, Mei Yi seemed to feel a very familiar melody.

This should have been the most attractive melody, but Eden's singing voice, which sounded like it was kissed by God, attracted attention.

When Eden's singing ended, Alicia blocked Mei Yi and pulled her to sit on the sofa aside.

"Ah, no matter what time it is, Eden's appearance of being in love with singing is really charming."

Alicia raised her head and lowered her chin, looking at the beauty who was performing with a smile on her face.

"Alicia, I don't want to disturb your mood, but how long will Eden continue to sing?"

Mei asked quietly in Alicia's ear.

"what?"

After Alicia thought for a moment, she smiled faintly at Mei.

"Do you smell the alcohol in the air?"

Mei Yi sniffed lightly and could indeed smell the faint smell of alcohol in the air. But it's not the smell of alcohol, but the aroma of red wine.

"It seems that Eden just had a drink. Next, she may sing for an hour, or maybe longer, until her drunkenness passes."

Alicia was already used to this situation.

And Mei Yi could only continue to stay on the sofa, listening to Eden's intoxicating singing.
