In the Blue Star world, Zheng Le used the Silver Wolf's ethereal editing ability to invade the global network, searching for key information about ghosts and anomalies.
He quickly discovered a startling situation:
Over the past few years, people all over the world had been posting online about seeing ghosts in their homes, hospitals, streets, and alleys!
And most importantly, all these posts were deleted by the authorities of their respective countries.
This meant that the authorities knew about the ghosts?!
Zheng Le prepared to hack into the official websites of various countries to check the situation, but he saw a chat group private message pop up in the corner of his eye.
Is it Gabriel messaging me?
Could she be sending private photos early?!
Zheng Le, with a hint of anticipation, opened the chat group's private message channel.
However, he discovered that the person messaging him was not Gabriel, but Kiana.
?!
Why would Kiana message me? Could it be that the third Honkai outbreak is happening in the Honkai world, and Raiden Mei has become the Herrscher of Thunder, seeking my help?!
With this thought in mind, Zheng Le opened the voice message Kiana had sent and heard the familiar voice of Alieria:
"Hi, miss me?"
Zheng Le immediately jolted.
Then, he quickly switched to the chat group and checked the number of members, searching frantically but couldn't find Alieria.
?!
What's going on?
With a deep sense of confusion, Zheng Le reopened Kiana's private message channel and quickly typed: "Kiana, Alieria is not in the group. Where did you get the voice clip...? I remember you can't do voice impersonations!"
Kiana from the Honkai world revealed a victorious smile and typed: "Hmph, this is the traveler Lumine's voice from Teyvat."
Zheng Le: "Lumine? Yeah, she and Alieria have the same voice actress, but in the game, she's a mute, and Paimon is the one who talks all the time!"
Kiana: "Right."
Zheng Le curiously typed: "So what did you do to Lumine? How did you get her to imitate Alieria's voice?! ????"
Kiana, with her arms crossed, used her mind to type: "We'll talk about that later, but what do you think of these voice clips?"
Zheng Le: "They're awesome! ╭(●｀?′●)╯╰(●’?’●)╮"
Kiana: "I have even hotter pics!"
Zheng Le: "Serve them up. (????)?"
Kiana: "Okay."
"Ding, Kiana has uploaded: Traveler Lumine imitating Alieria's top, middle, and bottom set of stigmata!"
Zheng Le carefully admired the pictures for a while before typing: "Aren't these Alieria's stigmata pictures? You made Lumine do these poses?!"
Kiana: "How about it? Aren't they beautiful!"
Zheng Le: "Pretty good. So how did you make Lumine imitate Alieria's voice and make her take these pictures?"
Kiana truthfully told him everything:
"I used a bit of coercion..."
Zheng Le was shocked: "Good heavens, I'm speechless."
Kiana: "What's wrong?"
Zheng Le: "You don't know Lumine is a 屑 (xie, slang for 'trash' or 'useless' but often used in a playful way)? "
Kiana: "I know!"
Zheng Le was speechless for a moment before saying: "Then you know Lumine is a traveler who has journeyed through multiple worlds in the Genshin Impact game? Her reincarnation might be very, very early! Even though she looks eighteen, her soul is probably already..."
Kiana bluntly said: "You mean Lumine is an old hag."
Zheng Le saw this message in the Blue Star world and twitched his lips slightly: "You said it, not me... I was just trying to say... She's probably had more life experience than you and me combined, and she's likely to hold grudges!
"If Lumine ever catches you with a weakness, she'll absolutely repay you tenfold!!"
Kiana typed with full confidence: "I can't be caught with a weakness, she's in another world, what can she do to me?"
"You can't say for sure. Plus, most importantly, Kiana, have you forgotten?" Zheng Le quickly used his mind to type a reminder: "You have a nickname called 'Slipper', which is only slightly better than Aqua, the water goddess, just a little bit."
!!!
In the Honkai 3rd world, Kiana saw Zheng Le's message, and the confident expression on her face vanished, replaced by a sense of anxiety and uncertainty:
"Zheng Le, according to you... wouldn't I be caught with a weakness by Lumine soon?"
Zheng Le: "It's hard to say, better safe than sorry!"
"I'll be careful." Kiana said with a heavy heart, and just as she was about to close the private message channel, she remembered what she had come to Zheng Le for and quickly typed: "Zheng Le, I came to you because I needed your help. Mei has been acting increasingly unstable lately, and the Honkai energy levels are rising around us. If nothing changes, the third impact will start!"
Zheng Le raised an eyebrow and typed: "So, you want to borrow my strength?"
"Yes, yes, exactly!" Kiana nodded repeatedly, then remembered something and said: "The main thing is that the chat group hasn't unlocked the cross-world function yet. If it did, you could come over and help me 攻略 (gonglue - conquer, win over) Mei!"
Zheng Le was stunned for a moment: "You still haven't 攻略ed Mei?"
Kiana: "No... Mei is still a straight girl. It's hard to change her mind!"
"If that's the case, I'll send you a red packet with enough power to obliterate a city. If the third impact begins, open the red packet and claim your power!"
"Okay, thank you!"
"We're all in this together, what are you thanking me for?"
Zheng Le and Kiana chatted happily in private.
And at that moment, a ding sounded in the chat group, making Zheng Le pause.
Someone sent a red packet in the group?
Or a new member joined?
I'll check it out first. As for investigating the confidential information on the official website, I can do that later!
With this in mind, Zheng Le opened the chat group and found that no one had sent a red packet, but the group had invited new members:
"Ding, Billions of People Chat Group system notification: Firekeeper has joined the group."
"Ding, Billions of People Chat Group system notification: Witch Irena has joined the group."
"Ding, Billions of People Chat Group system notification: Hyuga Hinata has joined the group."
Zheng Le looked at these three and his eyelids twitched, thinking that the group's speed in inviting people wasn't bad at all, adding three more people in just a couple of days.
And most importantly, they were three more familiar women.
Zheng Le knew all of them:
The Firekeeper from the Dark Souls 3 world, the world on the verge of complete collapse with the First Flame dying out...
Irena, the Witch of Ash from the Witch world!
Hyuga Hinata, the daughter of the Hyuga clan from the Naruto world!
Are these three also from my initial soul reincarnation?
With doubts in his heart, Zheng Le looked at the number of group members and found that the group still had only one member.
Zheng Le then assumed that these three newly joined members were probably also from his initial soul reincarnation, without a doubt.
