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

Beep, beep,

The sound of car horns rang out on the street, reminding Mei of her past life in Nagizora City.

Although it was normal, she was happy, but she also knew that those days were gone forever.

Until the day when the collapse disappears.

"Oh." Mei sighed, and then searched for Kiana with Padu beside her.

"According to the pictures sent by the drone, a figure similar to Kiana has appeared in the alleys nearby many times," Tesla said to Mei through the communication, "If she hasn't left Sky City yet, she is likely to have settled nearby."

"Besides, we should speed up. It seems that Destiny has already sent out a team."

Mei's expression became more serious after hearing this, "I know."

"Mei! Look over there!" Paduo suddenly shouted.

Mei quickly turned her head and saw a white-haired girl in a T-shirt walking with the crowd.

"Kiana!" Mei couldn't hide her excitement, because the girl's hairstyle, hair color and body shape were exactly the same as Kiana.

She rushed over and hugged the girl.

"Ah!" The girl screamed and immediately squatted down with her hands on her head, shouting, "Help! There's a pervert."

In an instant, the eyes of people on the street were all focused on Mei.

At this time, Mei heard the girl in front of her make a voice completely different from Kiana's, and she knew she had found the wrong person.

Now she was awkwardly digging her feet at the floor, and she turned her attention to Paddo beside her.

Then, Padu shrank back, nodded to Mei, gave her a thumbs up, and then entered the crowd.

Meiyi:......

"Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going downhill." An older lady nearby saw the scene and commented, then spat before leaving.

"Um... that's sorry," Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead and stepped forward to help the girl up.

Then, the girl dodged to the side and said in a very indignant tone, "If I don't want to, will you force me? Don't you understand that a forced melon is not sweet?"

Mei wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only explain, "Well, I just recognized the wrong person. I'm sorry."

"Huh? Really?" The girl turned around and asked. She thought she had finally had a chance to go on a business trip abroad and she would meet a pervert. "Hey, wait, what the hell is that disappointed expression on your face? Am I ugly?"

"Ah, no, no, you are very beautiful." Mei did not lie, the girl was indeed very beautiful, but that was not the one she was looking for, so it was normal for her to show a disappointed expression.

"As expected, you still want my body." The girl put her hands on her hips, with an expression that said, "I already know the truth."

"???"

"Pfft." The girl couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. My name is Z, just the letter Z. What's yours?"

"Raiden Mei, just call me Mei..." Mei wiped the sweat off her forehead and finally explained it clearly.

"Z? What a strange name, does it mean anything?" Padu suddenly came over and said.

"Well, I don't know. The old man who adopted me has always called me that. It is said that when he found me, I had a tag with a Z on it." Z rubbed his chin and said. "Eh? Wait, who are you?"

"Me? My name is Paddo Phyllis. You can call me Paddo or Phyllis, whichever you like."

"Well, you guys are probably not from here either. Let me guess. You guys are here to see Duke Kadajians' art exhibition, right?"

"Uh...we are not." Mei replied.

"Ah? I thought everyone here was here for this art exhibition, but..." Z took out a small hat and put it on his head. "If you are not here to travel, you must have something important to do. And Mei just recognized the wrong person. If I am not mistaken, you are here to look for someone, right?"

"I'm good at finding people. My dream since I was a child was to become a great detective. My current job is also a detective."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Z," Mei apologized, "That person is very important to me, so..."

"What? Do you think I'm kidding?" Z said with his hands folded. "Humph, I'm a professional. According to my analysis... Hey, wait, don't leave."

Mei and Paduo are now in a hurry to find Kiana, so they don’t have time to care about Z.

Z thought this might be a big case that would definitely add a bright spot to her detective career, so she hurriedly followed the two.

-

"Xiao Z..." Mei held her forehead and looked at the white-haired girl who was quietly following them. "We really need to do something serious, and it's very dangerous."

"I'm not afraid of danger," Z saw that he had been discovered and no longer hid. "A qualified detective is not afraid of danger and never gives up in the face of difficulties."

"But you don't even know the basic way to hide..." Padu complained.

"Ah, this thing, you have to have time to practice, right?"

"So you haven't mastered it yet, right?" Padu spread her hands. "So why are you following me?"

"I..." Z was speechless for a moment. Indeed, she was not very skilled now. After all, the old man passed away early and she did not receive any professional training. The little she knew was all from novels. But she had to get involved. She had a hunch that this must be a big event, just like an important chapter in a novel, so...

"I have this!"

"Hmm? What is this?" Mei looked at the thing in Z's hand in confusion. "Royal Art Exhibition Ticket?"

"Yes! That's right," Z raised his head and replied, "This is the first time that Duke Kadajians has gone abroad to hold an art exhibition. Why would this man who is said to have lived for a century suddenly go abroad? Aren't you curious? If you are not curious, then aren't the friends you are looking for curious?"

"If I had known earlier, there would only be this one large-scale event in Tianqiong City recently. And seeing that you were looking around here, the probability of your friend appearing there on the day of the exhibition would be greater, because the exhibition is held in the building across the street."

z pointed his finger at the building in the distance.

After these words fell, several people began to think.

"Mei, take it," Tesla suggested during the communication. "The drone footage does show that Kiana has been appearing nearby. If she didn't lie to you, I don't know why, but Kiana's target is probably that art exhibition. Maybe Kiana will find out what will happen there."

"Okay..." Mei sighed and took the ticket to the art exhibition, "Then it's a pleasure to work with you."

"You agree?" Z said in surprise, "Great!"
