Honkai: Star Rail The epitaph is too short, life is too long.

Through an existence simulator, Bai Heng became a companion to Ruan Meier. They were both born on a land blessed with abundance, growing up together like childhood sweethearts. Yet when Bai Heng expressed his admiration, she remained unresponsive. She had yet to understand what love was and thus could not reciprocate Bai Heng's feelings. It was only after Bai Heng and her parents died in an accident that Ruan Meier began to grasp at the edges of... some feeling. But those feelings were overwhelmingly bitter. "The lotus leaves, plum blossoms, glutinous rice, and the fragrance of frost-sugar... these were things he once liked." After countless amber epochs, Ruan Meier, in a moment of daze at the Interstellar Astronomical Society, saw a familiar figure. Herta: "Rarely do I see you show interest in anyone; are you preparing to conduct an experiment on someone from the astronomical society? Just say so if you need my help." Ruan Mei: "I'm not like you, to meddle outside the simulated universe. But... I seem to have seen an old friend from a long time ago..."

Chapter 40: The Invitation from Destruction

Chapter 40: The Invitation from Destruction

For ordinary people, those profound papers and researches in the academic field have little to do with them.

However, the romance or gossip of Ruan Mei, a member of Genius Club #81.

The topic heat of this matter can attract the attention of many people.

Now, it's really clear how journalism works.

When the reporter asked this question, all the people present turned their eyes to the cold and beautiful woman in the center of the venue.

Among these scholars, some have dealt with Ruan Mei and know well that she has no interest in matters between men and women.

And some people have also tried to pursue this stunning beauty of the Genius Club.

But unfortunately, those pretentious scholars, after repeatedly hitting a brick wall, declared to the outside world that Ruan Mei has androphobia and feels sick when seeing men.

In their eyes, their romance was regarded as dung, and their sentiment was ignored at will. How could such a woman have a lover?

In the VIP seats, Bai Heng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing this, Heita coldly said:

"It's Ruan Mei who was asked. Why are you nervous? Are you worried that she won't admit your relationship, or are you worried that she'll kick you away?"

"Say I'm worried that she'll admit our relationship. Do you believe me?" Bai Heng said, sweating.

Now his mood is extremely nervous.

This academic forum held on the interstellar internet is open to various forces in the universe, and the Interstellar Peace Weekly will also vigorously publicize this event.

If Ruan Mei admits her relationship with him in this situation.

Perhaps the next day, Jing Liu would come from Xianzhou, hold a sword against his neck, and ask him if he has any last words.

He anxiously watched Ruan Mei.

And at this moment, the other party also happened to cast her eyes on Bai Heng's side.

The two showed smiles tacitly.

It's just that Bai Heng's smile looked rather stiff no matter how you looked at it.

The next moment, Ruan Mei, who was the focus of everyone's eyes present, said:

"I already have a lover."

Silence, dead silence.

But immediately after, the entire venue instantly boiled up.

Ms. Ruan Mei of Genius Club #81 has a lover.

This is a big scoop that is enough to shock half of the academic world.

When Heita announced the cooperation with Interstellar Peace Company, the Interstellar Peace Company wrote a lot about this matter, eager to let the entire universe know about it.

Now, a genius of the Genius Club has publicly announced that she has a lover.

No matter who that person is, all the major forces watching this live broadcast will do their best to win him over.

"Oh, I see. You're worried that after your relationship with Ruan Mei is exposed, you'll be assassinated, right. In this case, it's very likely done by a rival in love. After all, I have a黑粉协会, and Ruan Mei naturally has her fan group, it seems to be called something like the Ruan Fan Association. They are all die-hard fans of Ruan Mei and believe that Ms. Ruan Mei is sacred and inviolable. Of course, there is another situation. Some forces, in order to win over Ruan Mei, are likely to threaten Ruan Mei with you and then attack you." Heita breezily brought up such a serious topic.

Hearing this, Bai Heng felt a chill run down his spine.

It means that after his identity is exposed, he will face threats from three aspects.

If those people from the Ruan Fan Association know that he's a two-timer scumbag, they will probably embark on the Path of the Hunt and chase him to the ends of the earth.

At this time, the reporter from the Interstellar Weekly seized the opportunity and said:

"Ms. Ruan Mei, then may I ask, is your lover present at the scene?"

"He is present." Ruan Mei's face remained calm.

After these words.

Everyone at the scene began to look around.

Especially those scholars who have had contact with Ruan Mei and those who have pursued her.

They couldn't understand. Did that person save the world in his previous life? How could he have such incredible luck!?

To follow the trend, Bai Heng also followed everyone present to look around at the people nearby.

Heita, on the other hand, looked at him speechlessly.

The reporter from the Interstellar Peace Weekly then continued to ask:

"Then Ms. Ruan Mei, can you ask him to say hello to everyone present?"

When he asked this question, the scholars present turned their eyes to Ruan Mei again.

But when hearing this sentence, Ruan Mei shook her head and said:

"Sorry, I don't want you to disturb him."

Although somewhat disappointed, the reporter still slightly bowed and said:

"Thank you very much for your answer, Ms. Ruan Mei."

"Heh, this guy is quite protective of her husband." Heita commented:

After hearing this answer, all the scholars present showed disappointment without exception.

Some people are simply curious about what kind of person is worthy of a genius like Ms. Ruan Mei.

Some are not convinced. They don't think there is anyone in this world who can make this the Flower of Gaoling yield and warm up this coldest ice cube.

As for Bai Heng.

He has just experienced the most thrilling roller coaster ride of his life, and his suspended heart finally settles down.

After Ruan Mei left the center of the venue, she did not return to the VIP seats.

Because as today's headline of the Interstellar Peace Weekly, there are still many people paying attention to her every move.

To avoid suspicion, she naturally would not return to Bai Heng's side.

The academic exchange continued as usual, but many people have already begun to be somewhat absent-minded.

One is because of the big scoop of Ruan Mei of Genius Club #81, and the second is because the auction later is the main event.

Time passed minute by minute.

Until the last scholar presented his paper, the venue announced a ten-minute intermission.

Bai Heng noticed that during this period, almost no one left their seats, and everyone maintained a solemn and upright posture.

During the academic exchange, Heita beside him was still tasting the desserts in front of her one by one, but at this moment, she put down the knife and fork in front of her.

In the corner of the venue, where there were no seats, several data projections also appeared at this time.

Obviously, these people were not invited by the organizer, but they successfully hacked into the interconnection network of Pengkelode and projected themselves to the scene.

Time was like a golden hourglass, and its flow rate seemed to become tangible.

Ten minutes later.

Dong, dong, dong.

Without a second's error, three dull bells rang, reverberating in this spacious venue.

All the lights went out, and the venue fell into a long silence.

Heita handed Bai Heng a tablet at this time and said:

"Our VIP seats can buy the items auctioned tonight in the form of raising the price. You can take a look."

Taking the tablet, Bai Heng browsed the items on it.

As a P40-level management of the Interstellar Peace Company, most of the auction items of this auction are within the price range he can bid.

Bai Heng did indeed find several interesting collections and curios among them.

"By the way, Heita, do you know what the finale items are tonight?" Bai Heng asked:

"There are two." Heita seemed a little bored and was not impatient with Bai Heng's question.

"One of them is a top-notch curiosity. It comes from the "Sage" of Pengkelode, and this "Sage" is the creator of the Ether Editing Technology, a strange person who named himself after the deceased. In order to leave the planet, he was willing to abandon his physical body, attack the Black Domain, and become a ghost wandering in the interstellar internet forever. And this curiosity is the first Ether cassette he left behind, named "Origin Cassette". It records all the codes left by this sage and is of inestimable value."

"And the second one is a star..."

Before Heita could finish speaking, a bodyguard suddenly broke in, came to Heita's side, and whispered a few words.

After the words, Heita's expression slightly changed, and she immediately stood up and said:

"Bai Heng, follow me to leave."

Just as she was speaking, the elegant and strange cello sound rang out in the venue. Its melody, like the final death knell, entered everyone's ears.

The red curtain slowly opened, and a man with a Wendigo-like head, a thin figure, wearing a black and white suit, a red-bottomed and black leather cloak, and holding a scepter tightly in both hands stood there.

It gracefully took a step forward, and burning flames emerged from its nasal cavity and hollow eyes. Finally, a crown made of blood and flames burned on the top of its skull.

Its majestic and hoarse voice sounded in everyone's ears at this moment.

"Everyone, why rush to leave."

"Such a wonderful night, why not stay to appreciate the momentous moment of 'Destruction', and enjoy the feast tonight."

"Enjoy the invitation of 'Grand Duke of the Netherflame', Afflitt."

.....

Bread explains here that the current timeline of this book is after the star core crisis in Belobog and Xianzhou 'Luofu' is resolved, and before Topaz goes to Belobog to collect debts.

The plot of Belobog will also be written later, and the meeting with the protagonist group may also be in this place.
