Chapter 96: Reverie: Pardofelis III
"After Elysia disappeared, Pardo Felis joined Mei and Vill-V to form an investigation team."
"While scanning Vill-V's memories, Pardo Felis was attacked by Evil Vill-V, causing her memory construct to dissipate. However, through a backdoor left by Expert Vill-V, Pardo successfully entered the body of the Herrscher of Corruption and preserved her autonomous consciousness."
"Vill-V asked Pardo Felis to act as a locator to guide Kevin and Su's fatal strike against the Herrscher of Corruption."
"Despite being terrified, Pardo Felis still fulfilled this suicidal mission out of her sense of responsibility as a Flame-Chaser, dying under the flames of the Judgment of Shamash."
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Pardo Felis: Boss Kevin, please make it quick next time. I'm afraid of pain. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: ... ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia: Little Pardo, what silly things are you saying? Kevin would never lay a hand on you. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Phantylia: Only destruction is the truth; everything will turn to dust in destruction. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Fu Xuan: You are nothing but a clown; what qualifications do you have to speak in front of us? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Nahida: Someone who didn't want to be a hero eventually became one. Perhaps that is the strength of humanity. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: Humanity is indeed a miraculous species. ]
"Next, we will play the video of Reverist Calico, Pardo Felis."
"It's an extremely relaxed, wholesome, and happy video!"
"Sister Mei, I don't want to die!"
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Are you sure about this title? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xingqiu: The mouths in the Inventory Livestream are nothing but lying ghosts! ]
The people in the Inventory Livestream held extreme disbelief regarding the six words spoken by the Inventory Livestream.
...
The screen slowly revealed Raiden Mei in her Herrscher of Thunder form. At this moment, Raiden Mei was holding her weapon and looking at the mirror in front of her.
"You… you?! AH!!!" Just as Raiden Mei was lost in thought, a scream from Pardo Felis, who had been attacked, came from not far away.
Following this scream, the buildings in the distance began to collapse one after another.
"Pardo?!" Hearing Pardo Felis's scream, Raiden Mei reacted instantly. She looked toward the high platform in the distance.
At that moment, several Honkai beasts emitting an eerie aura appeared in the distance.
"These are… those monsters I saw before? Why… are they here?" Looking at these familiar monsters, Raiden Mei said with shock on her face.
But the next second, these monsters launched an attack on Raiden Mei. Seeing them rushing over, Raiden Mei hurriedly raised her weapon and engaged them in battle.
After finishing off these monsters, Raiden Mei didn't say a word and bolted toward the high platform in the distance.
When she arrived at the circular platform, she only saw Pardo Felis lying on the ground, on the verge of death.
"Pardo?!" Seeing Pardo Felis lying on the ground, Raiden Mei immediately lost her composure. She rushed over and scooped Pardo Felis up.
"Sister Mei… ah oh～～" Pardo Felis raised a hand, grabbed one of Raiden Mei's hands, and said weakly. Her body began to gradually turn illusory, and countless small specks of light emanated from her.
"Don't worry…" Raiden Mei scanned Pardo Felis's body quickly. Half of it was already covered in a faint, misty haze, presenting a state of near-disorder.
"…It's okay." Looking at Pardo Felis lying in her arms, Raiden Mei's voice was laced with tears.
However, this very sentence, meant to reassure Pardo Felis not to panic, instead felt like a vice gripping the other's heart.
Pardo Felis jerked her body upward abruptly, only to curl back up due to the intense pain.
"No… it won't… Mei… Sister Mei… we have to leave here quickly!" Feeling the excruciating pain radiating through her body, Pardo Felis found it difficult to speak, and her eyes looked at the mirror with sheer terror.
Raiden Mei followed her terrified gaze to the side. The mirror that had once been sealed had been opened by some clever means, but it did not reflect their images; there was only a mass of ominous shadow.
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Hahahaha, I knew it, I knew it! Nothing good ever comes from those words coming out of the Inventory Livestream's mouth! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xingqiu: Would you like to test if my sword is sharp? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jingliu: My sword has yet to be tested as well! ]
At this moment, the people in the Inventory Livestream took out their weapons one after another and began to sharpen them.
...
"Inside there… is… is… is the memory of when Boss Kevin disappeared… the person who killed Boss Kevin is… is…" Just as Pardo Felis endured the intense pain, intending to reveal the killer, an even more violent surge of pain shot to her brain, and she began to cough incessantly.
Watching Pardo Felis, who was about to vanish, Raiden Mei was already streaming with tears, her heart filled with endless sorrow.
"I understand, Pardo. You don't need to say any more… Thank you!" Looking at Pardo Felis, Raiden Mei suppressed the sorrow in her heart and said with a comforting expression.
"Ha ah ha ah sha ah～～～"
"Heh… hehe… that's what I'm best at, right… then… let's… let's leave quickly… Sister Mei…" Hearing Raiden Mei's words, Pardo Felis forced a smile through the pain, then urged Raiden Mei to leave.
"Hmm… don't worry. If you encounter any danger, leave it to me to solve, just like before… okay?" Raiden Mei did not refuse Pardo Felis's request; instead, she nodded and said firmly.
"Okay, okay… oh my, Mei… Sister Mei… let's not say things like that… everyone says… says this is… a… a self-fulfilling… what was it again? It's like I'm really going to die… don't scare me, how could that be…" Pardo Felis first took several deep breaths, then said with a comforting smile. Although her face wore a smile, she knew very well in her heart,
"I've always… had very good luck…"
The scene shifted, and Pardo Felis's body became even more illusory, with faint cracking sounds audible.
"Sister Mei, I… don't want to die…" After saying this, Pardo Felis's body shattered into countless pieces like glass.
Raiden Mei remained frozen in place, feeling the weight in her arms vanish—so quickly, so completely.
For a moment, Raiden Mei didn't know how to return her senses to normal.
As the scene shifted again, Raiden Mei was seen standing in place, with a golden coin on the ground in front of her.
Raiden Mei picked up the coin, held it to her chest, and began to cry uncontrollably.
The next second, the photo of Pardo Felis shattered into countless pieces.
"The video ends here!"
