World Modulation Mode in Honkai

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Mei, do you want to touch it?



Just the thought of having to guide Mei around the academy made Kiana's scalp tingle. Leaf Feng really didn't act human!

Mei fell slightly behind, watching Ye Feng walk ahead and found his gait somewhat unnatural...

Was there a special reason for it? However, it clearly wasn't appropriate to ask.

Ye Feng, however, took the initiative to explain, "I was exhausted from working all day yesterday, so please don't mind me."

"Ah, no, no," Mei waved her hands in a hurry, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Here he was, tired, yet still taking her around the academy, while she was thinking of impolite things.

"Mr. Ye Feng, you should rest well. We can visit another day."

"Compared to Kiana, my fatigue is nothing."

"Kiana?" Mei tilted her head.

Hearing this, the little bug, which was almost falling off, climbed back up. Its azure eyes were now filled with both confusion and anger! If the flames of rage burned a bit hotter, it was likely that the Herrscher of Flamescion would descend early.

"Damn Ye Feng!"

Kiana silently cursed, wishing she could bite down on a grenade and blow him up.

Ye Feng didn't seem to care. He quickened his pace, causing Kiana's ponytail to sway back and forth.

Ye Feng turned to Mei and said, "Yes, Kiana is really a good girl. Speaking of which, I don't know how long I've been stuck here. I'm very happy to see someone else come in. So, Mei, feel free to treat this place like your own home and don't hold back."

"...Thank you."

Ye Feng led Mei through the area, introducing the unique features of this world.

Light rain fell from the sky, making the ground slippery.

As Ye Feng walked, the sweat that dripped from him quickly blended into the wet floor without a trace.

First, he introduced the NPCs, emphasizing the fixed trajectory of the NPCs.

"Although I've heard Kiana talk about it, seeing it for myself still feels a bit unbelievable."

At the Valkyrie training ground, Mei waved her delicate hand in front of Teacher Himeko.

Himeko continued to explain the key points of battling the Herrscher beasts, while the students below focused intently on her.

Mei thought this feeling was truly rare.

"Stop waving! Even if you're operating the mecha here and firing rockets, she wouldn't react at all."

Ye Feng smiled.

Kiana seemed particularly sensitive to certain words, internally protesting, "Did you do that kind of thing to Teacher Himeko here?!"

"Of course not."

"Ha ha."

"But I did it to my dear little bug."

"..."

Kiana didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Continuing to delve into such topics would only lead to self-inflicted pain.

At that moment, a purple figure walked by.

She had two horns on her head, an imposing demeanor, a graceful figure, and her purple hair billowed in the dim sky, occasionally flickering with conquering lightning.

She stepped forward under the dark clouds.

Mei's pupils constricted, "This is..."

She recognized this posture.

"The Herrscher of Thunder. Mei's other form is also very beautiful."

"Eh?"

"No need to be so surprised. There's also the big Mei form."

"Not that... Did you just say... beautiful?"

This was the first time Mei heard the term "beautiful" used to describe a Herrscher.

Everyone only felt fear and hatred toward the Herrschers.

"Doesn't Mei think it's very beautiful?"

"I..."

Mei's pure white hand clutched her chest, where a bomb lay buried.

As soon as the energy of collapse within her body broke through the threshold of possibly becoming a Herrscher, it would explode her into a million pieces.

How could Mei possibly feel that way about such an existence—

"I find it very beautiful, especially those horns. Do you want to touch them? They feel as smooth and cool as jade."

Mei didn't react at first.

Kiana immediately realized the problem.

"How do you know?"

"At this point, why would the little bug still ask such questions?"

Images flashed in the little bug's mind of Ye Feng holding the horns like a steering wheel.

What a birth!

Kiana had come here so many times, yet she never dared to touch them!

She opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on Ye Feng's shoulder.

However, for Ye Feng, the pain could hardly be described as significant; it was more like nothing at all.

After slightly adjusting his state, the sensation of the little bug biting him felt like a cat licking him.

Kiana was displeased.

Why did he look like he was enjoying it?

But soon, her attention returned to Mei.

Mei faced her nightmare once more—her other self, the Herrscher of Thunder.

Still in the third person, her inner thoughts were boiling over.

Mei was a very kind and gentle girl. Previously, upon realizing she might bring destruction to this world, she even considered ending her own life by jumping off a building to prevent the darkness from descending.

"The Herrscher doesn't just bring destruction; they can also embody the power that protects the world."

Ye Feng's words echoed suitably in Mei's mind, and she couldn't help but mumble, "The Herrscher... embodies the power to protect the world... How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible? Power itself isn't right or wrong; it's the person using that power who makes it so. The Herrscher is just that. If you can master this power for your own use, why should you be afraid?"

Ye Feng summoned the "Herrscher of Thunder" to the forefront.

As Raiden Mei entered, another consciousness also arrived, but it remained asleep.

Whether this "another consciousness" was the Herrscher persona or the Stigmata persona—or perhaps both—was irrelevant.

What mattered was that sleeping here was the authoritative and extraordinarily dramatic Mei persona from the comics.

It's worth mentioning that Kiana's consciousness of the "Herrscher of the Void" was also sleeping.

Although awakening them would make the game more fun, if they woke up here, they would return to the real world as well.

So, YeFeng didn't do that.

Ye Feng stroked the horns on the head of the Herrscher of Thunder, "What did that saying go? Right, resist the darkness, integrate into the darkness, understand the darkness, and become the darkness—by my falling into darkness, I exchange for you to return to the light. That's about the gist of it, isn't it?"

"...."

"Do you want to touch your horns?"

Ye Feng asked with a smile.

Mei stood still, staring at her "other self," unable to speak for a long time.

At this moment, even Kiana fell silent.

The existence of the "Herrscher of Thunder" had always been Mei's inner demon.

If this time she could help Mei slightly overcome her psychological shadow...

That doggone Ye Feng, while excessive, seemed somewhat reliable sometimes?

....

Ultimately, under Leaf Feng's coaxing, Mei still touched "her own horns."

When she woke up, Mei stared blankly at her hand, her fingertips seemingly still tingling with that smooth and cool touch.

"What exactly is that world...?"

Mei turned to Kiana, "I forgot, you were also inside, right? Why didn't I see you?"
