Kiana imagined ten thousand scenarios of meeting Mei again. But nothing like this, at such a moment, in such a place... There was no joy in her heart, only panic.
"Mei...?"
"What are you doing here? You, you shouldn't be here\! I...here...is dangerous\!"
After experiencing so many changes, Kiana thought she was strong enough to face the reunion calmly. But the moment she saw Mei, her self-confidence collapsed, and she was left with lingering guilt and fear of losing control again... The demons from the past kept whispering behind her.
Mei remained silent and hugged Kiana tightly. She clasped Kiana's clothes tightly, as if once she let go, the girl in front of her would disappear.
This touching picture appeared in the sky, falling into the eyes of everyone in Teyvat. Many people were moved by it. Many people had a lot of emotions in their hearts.
But... in the chat area, the people who were having a lively chat just now, joking with Lin Hao about the Raiden Shogun, were all silent at this moment. Even in the chat area, no one sent a message for a while.
Yae Miko was also extremely embarrassed. She said: "Lin Hao, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be cheated on."
"I don't\!"
The moment Lin Hao spoke, because of the emotional fluctuations, terrifying power burst out from his body. The entire sea area near Narukami Island was frozen by this power, and the temperature in Inazuma dropped several degrees. Even the gods in other countries felt the fluctuations of this power.
If it was something else, he could still take it calmly, but being cheated on was absolutely impossible to happen, and no blasphemous joke was allowed.
Venti spoke nonchalantly in the chat area: "Look, the God Lord is angry. Little fox, don't be too close to the God of Thunder."
[Raiden Shogun]: "I have been in the Pure Land for many years, and I have some insights in my heart. Venti, come and let me try the blade\!"
[Zhongli]: "...Drunkard, you are really not afraid of death."
[Yae Miko]: "Don't talk nonsense, Lin Hao seems to care about this matter."
[Venti]: "It's so strange\~ He didn't care at all when Nahida said he was a villain and a great villain. Why did he react so suddenly?"
[Nahida][Nahida]: "Hey\! Don't mention me at this time\!"
[Zhongli]: "In terms of universality, maybe this incident is his reverse scale and cannot be blasphemed."
[Venti]: "What a strange person."
[Shenhe]: "Could it be...that this is love? I'm even more curious about him."
In fact, everyone's thoughts were similar to Shenhe's. They were even more curious about Lin Hao's past life. What kind of man was this? Possessing powerful strength that no one could match, he clearly ignored everything, but because of such a sentence, there would be emotional fluctuations. What had he experienced? What kind of past did he have?
As the exposure scenes were shown one by one, everyone was gradually attracted to Kiana.

In the screen, Kiana's reunion with Mei was very brief. Soon, due to the arrival of the crisis, they each responded to the challenge and escaped from the base together. At the same time, she took the opportunity to inform Mei of the current situation: "Just now in the laboratory, the guy with the dog's head revealed their plan..."
"In addition to modifying the vaccine to activate the stigmata in the human body, the World Serpent will also create a Honkai disaster that covers the entire city and completely activate the stigmata."
Mei asked: "Is there no more detailed time and place?"
The words had just fallen when Rita's voice appeared: "I know where it is." She looked over Kiana: "It seems that Miss Kiana is in good condition, so I'm relieved."
Mei was very guarded against this kind of sight, standing directly in front of Kiana: "Don't even think about taking her away from me!"
Rita said: "Miss Mei, please be patient. I said that in this city, we are on the same side."
"Just now, Miss Kiana mentioned that the World Serpent will cause Honkai in the city - I think I know what the second half of the plan is."
"In this city that closely monitors the use of Honkai energy, we should not be able to find anything that can cause large-scale Honkai. However, if it passes the inspection and legally enters the city, that is not necessarily the case."
"Especially those large vehicles driven by Honkai energy - my ship, the Eos, is such a suitable target."
Kiana also had a guess in her mind: "So those guys..."
Rita nodded and told the information she knew: "They dismantled the Honkai energy engine of the Eos. In order to maximize the impact on the residents of Sky Dome City, they placed the engine on top of the signal tower in the center of the city."
"Remove the protective shell, and as long as the engine core is overloaded for a period of time, it will become a time bomb that releases a huge amount of Honkai energy... BOOM\!"
"After the investigation, Schicksal can no longer be cleared."
Learning the truth about the entire experimental plan, Kiana was also a little anxious: "We can't stay here any longer\!"
"That's right." The scythe in Rita's hand suddenly appeared: "But it seems that the other party doesn't intend to let us leave in a big way."
She rushed directly towards the pursuing enemy: "I'll hold them back, and I'll leave it to you to disarm the bomb. Thank you for coming to save me at that time. In this way, we are clear of both sides."
Rita fought the enemies alone, blocking all the enemies for Kiana and Mei. Kiana also hurried to her destination. Now, she just wanted to defuse the explosion as soon as possible and save the city.
Next moment, the Raven's attack came suddenly. Mei subconsciously blocked Kiana and was hit by this attack. Kiana quickly caught Mei as she flew out.
"Mei!"
"I'm fine, Kiana, don't be distracted by me."
Kiana put Mei down, stood up, and looked at the Raven high up.
"It's not too late to stop. Your plan is not to save people, but to kill them."
Raven looked at her contemptuously: "Slaughter...? As the creator of the Second Eruption, the biggest murderer in human history... What qualifications does a monster like you have to judge us?"
"Have you ever heard the voices of those who died because of you?"
"Those who are infected with Honkai and are about to die...the women who are mourning their husbands...the children who were taken away from their parents and brothers and trained as mercenaries..."
"Their wails, their cries... you can't possibly hear them!"
There was a rare trace of pain on her expressionless face. But when she thought of the Lord's experiments and the future described by the Lord, she gained a little more hope and expectation.
"Once the experiment is completed, humanity will no longer have to bear what you represent."
Kiana knew that she could not persuade her. This look... that glimmer of hope... It looked exactly like Jackal's face. They were all... the absolute implementers of Kevin's plan.

It seems the plot is thickening, with more revelations about the World Serpent's plan and the true nature of their motives. What do you think about the World Serpent's argument that their extreme measures are necessary for humanity's future, especially given Raven's personal experiences?
