The raven frowned, stopped its attack, and stayed high up in the "nest" looking down at the prey in the cage.
Then, her look changed.
The pair of rose-red eyes gradually began to glow with blood.
The strange cloak suddenly flew up in the windless air, rustling.
"Wait, wait a minute--!" Xiaokong, who was secretly observing from the window, couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw this scene.
The cloak fell again, and Raven tilted his head to look at the small figure leaning out of the door.
"Sora, why did you run out without permission?"
"Teacher... why did you fight with Mei?" Xiaokong's tone was full of panic and confusion, "Mei... Mei didn't bully us. She is very kind to everyone and she saved me...!
"She's just here to look for a friend, and she'll leave once she finds one... With the teacher's ability, you'll definitely be able to find Mei's friend."
She could only see roughly what was happening while hiding at the window, so she didn't understand why two people were talking peacefully and suddenly started fighting.
Raven sighed helplessly, "I can't leave her friends to her."
"Why?" Xiaokong didn't understand. According to what she heard from Mei, Kiana was also a very good person.
"Because that person is very dangerous and will hurt you and everyone." Unable to explain the Herrscher to Xiaokong, Raven could only say this.
"...? Then... can Mei still see her..."
Looking at the raven's silence, Xiaokong understood.
“I can’t see you anymore…?”
Raven didn't answer, but her silence was more unacceptable than any answer.
"Ah...ah..." Xiaokong was very sad, suppressing his crying voice, "Mei misses Kiana very much...I keep talking about Kiana...
"Three years ago, it was Kiana who saved Mei... Just like the teacher saved us... As important as the teacher is to us, Kiana is just as important to Mei...!
"Please think about it again, teacher... at least give Mei a chance..."
The raven remained silent.
"Teacher... seems like a different person... I'm so scared..."
Kong began to cry uncontrollably. She hugged her head and tried to lower her head to hide her face, like a frightened little animal.
The scene seemed familiar to Raven.
More than ten years ago, in the village that turned into a sea of fire, a girl also cried like this.
"...Good girl, don't be afraid." She landed gently on the ground and bent down to wipe away the tears from the little girl's eyes. "I promise you... give her a chance."
Raven squatted down and said a lot of things in Xiaokong's ear before he coaxed the frightened girl back into the house.
[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: Fortunately, Raven softened his heart in the face of Xiaokong's plea, otherwise Mei would be in trouble today. ]
[Genshin Impact-Navia: After all, Xiaokong's appearance reminded her of herself many years ago, and she was moved by her past self...]
She closed the door carefully, and remained silent for a long time facing the house, finally turning around and sighing, “…Don’t involve the children in the disputes of adults.
“If you want to know where she is, just follow her. I won’t hit you, and don’t stop me.
"I won't change my opinion of her. But what you want to do is... up to you."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked forward.
[Genshin Impact - Ying: Although that's what he said, I didn't expect that Raven would actually give Mei a chance regarding Kiana because of a child. ]
[Genshin-Ying: It seems that she really cares about these children. 】
[Original God - Paimon: In this way, it is a bit like a "servant". They are top cadres of bad organizations outside, but they always show their gentle and soft side when facing their own children. 】
[Genshin Impact-Paimon: Perhaps, this is the contrast that Xiao Guizi often mentioned. 】
[Starry Sky Railway - Gui Naifen: That's right! It seems that Paimon understands it very quickly! ]
Mei didn't worry about the wounds on her body left by the previous battle. Instead, she simply treated them and immediately followed behind Raven.
The two of them walked along like this, remaining silent with each other the whole time.
Except for the sound of wind and rain, the whole world felt terrifyingly silent to Raven.
"...Hey, don't be silent, I hate this awkward atmosphere." She finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Although we are not companions, we can still talk."
Seeing that Mei still didn't say anything, Raven felt bored and shook his head.
"I'm going to start tracking the Herrscher of the Sky..."
She looked around and nodded, "Well, there are a few suitable targets."
Despite the dissatisfaction in his tone, Raven looked like he was going to keep his promise.
Mei followed her gaze and saw several tank-level Honkai beasts wandering aimlessly not far away.
"…Is there anything special about those Honkai beasts?" Mei asked. She didn't understand why these Honkai beasts were related to finding Kiana.
"Nothing special so far," Raven replied simply.
[Starry Sky Railway - Black Tower: Does that mean she has a way to make these Honkai beasts special? Interesting?]
[Star Dome Railway - March 7: Even Ms. Black Tower said so... Can Ms. Raven really use a few ordinary Honkai beasts to find Kiana's location? ]
[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: It feels so incredible. 】
on the screen.
The raven lifted his cloak and disappeared into the wind.
A black wind blew past, and in a flash, the raven had landed on the Honkai beast, stabbing its five fingers deeply into its body.
The blood-red black was like a drop of ink dropped into the water, constantly seeping into the pale body until it completely submerged the huge monster.
"Good boy, it will stop hurting soon." Although Raven sounded like he was comforting her, his tone was extremely cold, as if he was just going through the motions.
The monster's screams gradually became lower, weaker, and stopped. Finally, it fell to the ground, completely losing its breath.
"What did you do to them?" Looking at the actions of the raven, Mei felt that this must be a very important action in finding Kiana's whereabouts.
"It was just a friendly 'exchange'." Raven explained without any intention of hiding anything, "The lower-level Honkai beasts do not have intelligence, and are controlled by some kind of Honkai energy signal that humans cannot perceive, similar to pheromones in the animal world, although they are completely different in nature.
“In other words, as long as we can interfere with their perception of this signal, we can change the actions of the Honkai beasts, and even manipulate an individual to give instructions to its companions.
"I have always used this method to keep the Honkai beasts and the Death Warriors away from the children and create a safe zone."
"So this is the safe zone that Xiaokong mentioned." Mei suddenly realized. No wonder Xiaokong said before that as long as they act according to the safe zone on the map, they don't have to worry about their safety being threatened.
