Chapter 271
At this moment, the butterfly flapped its wings
For the former Kevin, the day when the final battle broke out was the darkest day in his life.
Because, first of all, the defeat in the final battle, several comrades in arms lost their lives successively under the absolute disadvantage.
What’s more, what was bought at such a painful price was not the final victory, but only ten hours of lingering time left.
His era finally ushered in the end.
And then…
When he returned to Earth in a hurry, he received the sad news that MEI had passed away.
Under multiple blows, he once wanted to kill himself.
If MEI hadn’t left him with a curse-like ‘hope’, perhaps…there would be no future leader of the world snake.
Of course, it is also because of this…
“This time, I will definitely protect you well.”
Today’s Kevin has such a firm will.

The meal in the wooden tea room lasted for a long time.
But it is impossible for a group of people to eat and chat directly from noon until night.
So, about an hour later, General Thunder left first.
Of course, on her side, she was actually very reluctant to let Kevin and MEI be alone.
However, due to MEI’s request, she still did not stay.
Instead, before leaving…
“…”
A certain black dodo, directly under the silent gaze of General Lei Dian, walked out of the room together very ‘knowledgeably’.
Then, she finally got a moment of ‘free movement’ to relax.
So much so that Raven breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he walked out of the wooden leak teahouse.
Really, being with those people with special identities for a long time is exhausting.
“It’s more tiring than carrying out ten assassination missions.”
Raven thought so.
So next, she decided to ‘reward’ herself.
For example: Going around Inazuma Castle or something.
As for Kevin and MEI…
“You are indeed Kevin. I can already confirm this.”
In the wooden leak tea room, the two sat opposite each other across a long table.
MEI looked at the other party and said bluntly: “Although your personality, temperament, words and deeds are very different from the ‘Kevin who is about my age’ in my impression, considering that you come from tens of thousands of years later The ‘future’ of the future, then this level of change will not make people feel so strange.”
Listen to what she said…
“You are also slightly different from the MEI in my impression.”
Kevin looked relaxed, but his tone of voice still seemed a bit rigid.
At this moment, he tried his best to appear friendly, twitched the corners of his mouth clumsily, and said word by word: “But I also know that you are you.”
“Most of the time you are now has embarked on a brand new path because of your past circumstances.”
I heard…
“yes?”
MEI, who had served as the acting director of Flame Chasing Moth’s “First Research Institute” for a long time, was not the kind of person who would suffer from stage fright.
Even if the person in front of her is a relatively ‘strange’ world snake leader, she can handle it calmly now.
At the moment…
“Then, what do you think of me?”
She asked.
But in the end, I felt that this kind of question seemed very general.
So, she directly added, asking the real purpose of this trip, “Kevin, I’ll call you that too.”
“Yes.” Kevin nodded.
His eyebrows stretched.
It seemed that hearing MEI call out his name again put him in a good mood.
But then…
“You mentioned earlier that the appearance of the ‘Original God’ completely changed the course of history.”
MEI looked serious, “Among them, the Herrscher of Thunder who triggered the ‘Third Honkai’ had a ‘personnel change’ for this reason.”
“Now, I really want to know…”
She looked directly at Kevin,”In the ‘original history’, what kind of ending did I and my parents usher in in the end?”
“…”
Kevin fell silent.
These words undoubtedly brought back a very bad memory in his heart.
But, as long as MEI asks that…
“In the ‘Original History’, with the ‘Third Honkai’ erupting centered on Changkong City, we, who were only ordinary high school students at that time, could only do our best to escape.”
“During our escape, we found the bodies of our uncle and aunt in the central hospital. In the end…we were escorted out of the Far East by a rescue team sent by Mebius.”
“After that, you and I joined the ‘Flame Chasing Moth’.”
“In the beginning, you were recruited by Mebius into the ‘First Research Institute’ she was in charge of. Later, you were quickly promoted and had your own research institute.”
“As a recruit, I was transferred to the ‘Second Squad’ led by Alicia, and continued to perform field missions.”
…
“I also said before that when you set up a trap to kill the ‘Herrscher of Domination’, because of the excessive use of the power of the ‘Blank Key’, it brought irreversible side effects to your body.”
“In the end, on the day when the ‘last battle’ ended…huh?”
These memories, to Kevin, are an extremely heavy past.
Therefore, when he told about these “original histories”, he was quite focused.
Because he has to overcome his own psychological barriers in order not to behave too unbearably.
It is also because of this that Kevin found out belatedly…
MEI, in fact, has been ‘wandering’ for a long time.
She didn’t know when she started, but she had already fallen into deep thought.
Seeing her like this, Kevin didn’t continue to speak out, but just quietly waited for her to recover.
For a long time…
“…”
Although Mei returned to her senses, there was not much expression change on her face.
She seemed to have figured out something.
“Understood, thank you for clarifying my doubts.”
When saying these few short words, MEI’s tone seemed to have a feeling of “letting go of the burden”.
at the same time……
“…”
General Lei Dian, who had already left the wooden leak tea room before, but was not happy to let MEI and Kevin be alone, stood outside the wooden leak tea room, waiting silently.
Out of consideration for MEI’s own safety, and also out of Lu Qiyan’s precautionary mentality of not fully trusting Kevin, Ying had actually been using the God’s Eye worn by MEI to observe all the latter’s movements behind the scenes.
Now, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Because she knows exactly what MEI cares about.
Kevin may be confused about this matter because of “insufficient information”, but Ying and Lu Qiyan both know:
“History has been completely changed by the appearance of the ‘Original God’.”
“Then, if MEI’s parents were alive and well, but died prematurely because of the butterfly effect caused by ‘us’…”
There are some things that can’t be just laughed off just because ‘pre-civilization will eventually perish’.
Undoubtedly, if the history related to MEI is on a worse track ahead of time because of Lu Qiyan and his avatars, then…
Even if MEI is very mature, if she doesn’t say much, there will be resentment in her heart.
Generally speaking, talking about this matter alone, although it would seem inappropriate to say it directly, no matter whether it is Lu Qiyan, Ying or Mei, he (she) is very lucky.
But, compared to this, how many “unfortunate” changes are there?
At this moment, Lu Qiyan, who was hiding behind the scenes, fell into deep thought.
He seemed to understand why in many fantasy stories, those powerful ‘gods’ would choose to stand by and watch everything.
On the one hand, some works want to use this to convey the positive energy concept of ‘people must strive for self-improvement, be brave in struggle, and not rely too much on external things’.
But on the other hand……
“Oh~”
Lu Qiyan heaved a long sigh, “Because I know too much, it is more difficult to make a choice.”
At this moment, even he himself didn’t know it.
My mentality is quietly changing.
And this changing trend is approaching…
Detachment! ! !
