Seeing Mei's appearance, Tesla immediately understood her self-blame, so he comforted her: "...That disaster was not your fault."

[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: Yes, yes, weren't Mei and Kiana both harmed by others? ]

[Genshin Impact - Paimon: That's right, Mei was harmed by Cocolia and became the Herrscher of Thunder, and Kiana was harmed by Otto and became the Herrscher of Sky. This is obviously none of their business.]

[Original God - Paimon: If they hadn't been harmed by the bad guys, they wouldn't have become Herrschers, leading to the outbreak of the Great Collapse. ]

[Star Dome Railway-Star: @Honkai Impact 3rd-Cocolia @Honkai Impact 3rd-Otto, take the blame for me! ]

"No matter who is right or wrong, it can't make up for everything this city has lost." Mei shook her head, "It was me who became the Herrscher three years ago. I often wonder, if I hadn't been so weak and succumbed to the collapse, would the tragedy of Changkong City have never happened?

"I know there are no ifs in this world. It's just... I hope that every time I make a choice in the future, I can remember this disaster.

“This is a responsibility I have to bear.

"…The same goes for Kiana."

[Star Dome Railway - Bluebird: Well, that being said, although this is indeed not the original intention of Miss Mei and Miss Kiana, the disaster has already happened, and those who were affected by the disaster cannot be compensated. ]

[Xingqiong Railway - Fu Xuan: So what they can do is to prevent the next person in the world from suffering the same fate as them, and to prevent innocent people from being implicated.]

"Alas..." Tesla sighed helplessly.

After assembling the instrument in her hand, she quickly changed the subject, "It's done, let's see if this thing works.

“The water and atmosphere of Changkong City are full of Houkai energy. If we want to find Kiana, we have to filter out the energy of the Herrscher.

"This is new technology with a limited detection range of about three to five kilometers in radius."

Mei made a rough estimate, "In that case, at least three are needed to cover the entire East City District, and even more if the West City District on the other side is included."

Tesla nodded. "So, don't expect to be able to do it all at once..."

[Starry Sky Railway - Sushang: That's not right. Didn't we detect Kiana's movements before and then determine that she was in Changkong City? The distance there must be more than three to five kilometers, right? ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Einstein: The reason is very simple, because what was detected previously was not Kiana's fluctuation, but the fluctuation of Honkai energy of the Herrscher-level power. When the Herrscher uses his power, this index will increase by an order of magnitude. ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Einstein: The new technology is to screen the energy of the Herrscher. Even if Kiana does not use her power, she can still detect a rough range. ]

[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: Oh, so that's how it is! ]

[Star Dome Railway - March 7: Wait! Now that we know the reason, that means the two doctors have already completed this technology? ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Tesla: Not really. It's still in the theoretical research stage.]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Tesla: But judging by the situation, there shouldn't be any problems with the direction of our research. ]

Before he could finish his words, Tesla suddenly showed a surprised expression, "...Huh, found it?!"

A striking red dot appeared on the screen as the two watched, flashing continuously.

"Doctor, this is...?" Mei couldn't hide her excitement.

"Let me see, let me see..." Tesla carefully checked and came to a conclusion, "Yes, although it is very weak, it is indeed the reaction of the Herrscher!

"... and it's very close! Wait a minute! Look carefully, isn't it right next to me!"

Tesla shifted his gaze to Mei who was standing beside him, his eyes moving back and forth between the device and Mei's body, "... Is this... a reaction on your body?"

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: Ah this... I thought we found Kiana... Turns out it was just a misunderstanding...]

[Star Dome Railway - March 7: However, I remember that Miss Mei's Conquest Gem has been taken away, right? How come there is still a Herrscher reaction? ]

[Star Dome Railway - Star: Is it that? ...You were also a Herrscher before. Once you are a Herrscher, you will be a Herrscher for the rest of your life.]

[Star Dome Railway - Silver Wolf: It's so funny, what do you mean by law, uniformity, and generational law? ]

"...Hmm?" Mei was stunned.

Tesla suddenly slapped his forehead and finally reacted, "Ah - I forgot... Although the Conquest Gem is gone, you still have a faint Herrscher energy left in you."

Mei nodded and said, "Yes, that's what Dr. Einstein wrote in his diagnosis.

“She said I’m not a special case, and that a similar situation had occurred to the leader of Anti-Entropy, but the specific cause is still unknown.

"And this energy... I can't use it as I wish."

Tesla immediately advised: "I don't recommend you to do that. Forcibly stimulating unstable energy will only hurt yourself.

“Back to the point, apart from your reaction, there’s nothing special here.

"Well, let's go to the next place."

So, leaving the assembled equipment there, the two of them started to move on with their luggage.

"Hey, this is..." While searching for a place to place the equipment, Mei suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Tesla followed Mei's gaze and saw a severely damaged building.

"Here... I remember this place..." Mei stared blankly at the huge gap in the building, "That big hole... was caused by me.

“Three years ago, Kiana, Bronya and I fled from Changkong City together, and ended up meeting… Himeko-sensei’s team here.

"At the time we thought she was an enemy, so... there was a little conflict."

Looking at the shattered building in front of him, Tesla couldn't help but click his tongue, "Looking at this wreckage, I guess you've caused her a lot of trouble."

"Yes... During that battle, the power of the Herrscher in me went haywire. It took Himeko-sensei all her efforts to suppress us."

Mei's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, "Hyperion went straight to the repair shop after returning, and the ship-borne weapons that were still in the test stage were completely scrapped.

"Teacher Jizi was almost punished by the headquarters for this, but in the end it was the principal who took it all."

[Honkai Impact 3 - Himeko: Ah... I remember that at that time, even Hyperion's position as captain was almost revoked, and it was only because Theresa kept pleading for me that I was able to be saved.]

[Genshin Impact - Paimon: Huh? Why? According to your previous description of the Herrscher, it should be considered a huge profit to kill a Herrscher by sacrificing only one ship, right? Why is there still a punishment? ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: Because in the eyes of the headquarters at that time, Mei was still an unstable Herrscher who could explode at any time. It was a very unwise choice for Himeko to pay such a painful price but not kill the Herrscher and bring her back to the academy. ]
