Honkai Impact 3: Rebirth of Ellie, starting with the Tower of Babylon

"Um...Uncle, I'm an adult." She said to the bar security guard.

"All minors say that." The security guard remained upright and did not give up his position. "Unless you can show your ID card as proof, I will not let you in."

"..."

This is indeed impossible to prove, because her ID has not yet been issued.

"Uncle, please be flexible... I need to go in and look for someone."

"No," the security guard shook his head and rejected Xilin. He had seen this excuse many times. Why would a little girl go to a bar in the middle of the night?

And found such a lame excuse,

In order for the future flowers of the motherland to thrive, the security guard refused to give in.

Xilin: ...

"No, I'm really here to look for someone..." She pointed at the red-haired figure inside.

The security guard narrowed his eyes and walked into the pub.

One minute later,

Ji Zi was kicked out of the tavern.

Jizi: ???

"Humph, there is actually an accomplice who sneaked in while I was handing over my shift."

"No, I'm an adult!"

"Do you think I can't tell you're wearing makeup? What normal adult would dye their hair so colorfully?"

Seeing that the other party was so unwilling to give in, Ji Zi knew that her plan to sneak out for a drink was ruined.

"Oh, really, this is the first time I've been called young..." Ji Zi scratched her head with a smile, then turned to look at Xilin, "Well...long time no see?"

"Yeah." Xilin nodded, but after all, she had never had direct contact with Ji Zi before, so she didn't know what to say.

Instead, it was Himeko who started the conversation first, "How are Kiana and the others doing?"

"It's not as good over there as it is here, right?" Xilin replied.

"Yeah... a world without collapse is something I've never dreamed of before."

"You can only dream about bars. Kiana often saw you secretly drinking at night." Xilin seemed to have thought of something and laughed twice, "You know, I carried you back many times at that time."

"Is it true?" Ji Zi scratched her head.

Was she so embarrassed at the time?

"Of course it's true. I was holding my head up, and Mei and Bronya each had one leg..."

The two of them started chatting like this, in this cool night,

The atmosphere seemed very harmonious, because they were just chatting about trivial matters in life.

But Xilin didn't just want to know these, so she still spoke, "Jizi...how did you get here in the first place?"

"Me?" Ji Zi thought for a while and said, "At that time, I fell off the platform, and then a pink light flashed, and then I came here."

"It's that simple?"

"Um……"

"What about Ellie? Is she coming too?" Xilin's tone was a little anxious.

But on the contrary, Ji Zi was silent for a few seconds, and then responded, "Sorry..."

"..." Xilin was silent for a few seconds. She was a little disappointed, but she didn't complain.

After going through a lot, she also learned to keep everything in her heart.

"It's okay..." Xilin waved her hand, then took out her cell phone and took a picture of Ji Zi.

"Eh? You are..."

"Kiana will be happy to see you."

Click,

A picture of Ji Zi under the moon was printed on Xilin's mobile phone.

"Okay," Xilin showed the photo to Jizi, "Does it look good?"

"Yeah, not bad."

"Then let's add each other as friends and I'll send it to you."

"Row."

After adding Ji Zi as a friend, Xilin said goodbye to her and went home.

Ji Zi looked at Xilin's back and sighed, "Sorry..."

She apologized again, apologizing for hiding the truth.

-

Collapse of the world,

World Snake Base, Mei and Anna returned here after completing the mission exploration.

The Jackal and the Night Owl were waiting for the two men to come down.

Anna and Mei waved their hands and left with Night Owl.

The two people left at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ahem," Mei broke the silence and pointed at the battleship, "Inside is what we gained from this investigation."

"Um……"

The two returned to the battleship and saw what they had brought back.

A...broken puppet arm?

"This is……"

"Isn't this the point?" Mei turned her arm over, revealing a core.

"Herrser Core..." Jackal rubbed his chin and said, "But this value, according to the data of the previous civilization, should be the Herrscher of Domination."

"The Ruler of Rule..."

"Yes, it is also called the Ruler of the Thousand," the jackal continued, "This Ruler is different from the others. It destroys civilization by destroying humanity from within."

"And a thousand individuals also make it even more difficult to defeat it."

"..."

"But don't worry," the jackal saw Mei's serious expression and explained, "Although they are a thousand individuals, the strength of each individual is not very high. They are more likely to lurk among humans to divide the trust between everyone."

"I understand..." Mei nodded.

Seeing Mei's expression, Jackal didn't explain any more and wanted to get off the ship.

But the next moment,

Swish!

Mei split the jackal in half while she was in shock.

"you……"

But she couldn't say anything. In Mei's sight, the person in front of her turned into a broken puppet.

But behind her, another puppet jumped out and tried to attack Mei.

But the action was interrupted by a figure.

"Mei...are you okay?" The red dragon in the sky was holding a doll in its mouth, and then bit it to pieces.

Then she transformed into a human form and landed next to Mei.

"Thank you, Bella." She was able to tell that the person in front of her was fake just now because of the information transmitted in Bella's mind.

"It's okay...but, your teammate?"

"Don't worry, even though Senior Anna always seems to be playing badly, she is still very capable." Mei said.

Then she looked around, then gripped the knife in her hand, ready to fight, "Besides, we can't help now."

Bella also became nervous when she saw this. Blood and lightning surrounded her arms at the same time.

Before his eyes, the originally bright World Snake Base changed and became a space.

Around them, there were dolls connected by strings.

They are weird and strange, with ugly and weird smiles on their mouths.

They seem to be limping when walking, but their steps are somehow consistent.

The leading puppet stood in front of Mei and raised her arms.

The entire space suddenly gathered a beam of light and shone on her.

She opened her wooden mouth and said word by word,

"Hello, our first guests,"

"Welcome to the Domination Theater!"
