Chapter 2: The Stars That Never Disappeared

The person standing in front of Mo Chen now was a woman with long black-purple hair, wearing black over-the-knee socks. She had a confused look on her face, and a hint of vigilance and alertness appeared on her mature face.

When he saw this woman, Mo Chen was stunned at first, and then immediately realized her identity.

——The Queen of Thunder of Nagazora City, Raiden Mei.

Of course, unlike the immature and shy girl in Mo Chen's impression, the current Raiden Mei had obviously grown up.

Although she no longer had the vitality and vigor unique to girls, she had gained a sense of maturity and elegance.

'This time... the first person I meet is still you...'

Mo Chen hesitated for a moment, and for a moment, he truly felt the flow of time.

After all, in those countless simulations, although time was jumping around, almost none of them were based on the premise of Post-Honkai.

When the reality of 2024 was placed in front of him, Mo Chen finally felt the passage of time.

"Who are you?"

In the distance, Raiden Mei asked again.

She looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her on the campus street with a confused look on her face. For a moment, she was also briefly stunned, as if she always felt that the scene in front of her was very familiar.

But she obviously didn't know the strange black-haired man in front of her and had never seen anyone like him before.

So, she tried to introduce herself to break the awkwardness:

"Well, I don't know who you are, but I am..."

"Ms. Raiden Mei... right?"

Mo Chen said the other person's name first.

"How do you know?!"

Raiden Mei was immediately surprised.

Her mouth, which was originally slightly open, suddenly opened wide, and she didn't know how to continue speaking…

Mo Chen was experiencing this familiar feeling. Although things and people had changed, he had regained some of the familiar feelings that once belonged to him.

'You're always like this, no matter what, Mei...'

'No matter which reincarnation, when I first meet you and say your name, you will always react in such an interesting way...'

With a smile, Mo Chen turned and left.

In the brief conversation just now, he had already realized that in this simulated world, the other party no longer recognized him at all and did not remember anything he had ever done.

To be honest, this feels really good.

There is a sense of relief and a joy of harvest...

At least this time, he could finally relax and have a good rest without having to rush towards a certain goal from the beginning and struggle desperately to the end.

...

"The United Nations Conference was officially held some time ago under the guidance of Schicksal. The current Bishop of Schicksal, Ms. Theresa, attended the meeting and shook hands with leaders of various countries."

"Anti-Entropy, the world's top gaming company, released a new game, Elden Honkai, which received rave reviews. However, due to the game's high difficulty, the producer, Ms. Bronya, received a large number of complaints and negative reviews. In the end, Ms. Bronya accidentally ran a red light while speeding on the road to vent her emotions, causing her driver's license to be revoked again."

"World Serpent Pharmaceuticals recently announced that the genius scientist Dr. Mobius will no longer attend the shareholders' meeting for personal reasons. The company will be fully taken over by CEO Elysia and Chairman Kevin."

"Shenzhou School of Taixuan is recruiting disciples again. The Immortal has now recruited seven disciples. The two companions of the Immortal, Ms. Cang Xuan and Ms. Dan Zhu, emphasized during the meeting with the media that foreign tourists are requested not to enter the School of Taixuan for tourism without permission and destroy the local environment!"

"A scandal broke out recently at the Twilight Welfare Home. The founder, Ms. Aponia, and the orphanage teacher, Ms. Raven, had a disagreement over the policy of children's education. The two sides came to blows. Finally, under the friendly persuasion of the nurse, Mr. Kalpas, the two sides gave up the confrontation and beat up the nurse, Mr. Kalpas, so badly that his life was almost in danger."

"..."

Looking at the familiar figures flashing on the news, Mo Chen, who had just found a house to rent, looked at the TV with a confused look on his face.

'Isn't this worldline change a bit too big?'

'Schicksal controls the United Nations? Anti-Entropy Gaming Company? World Serpent Pharmaceuticals?'

'What is going on?'

'Also, how come all those Flame Chasers are alive?'

Recalling his experience of getting along with many members of the Flame Chasers in the previous civilization simulation, Mo Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

'I can only say that fortunately, the world line has undergone tremendous changes this time.'

Everything he had done before was unknown to anyone until now.

After all, in those simulated world lines...

Whether it was fighting against Kevin who holds the Judgment of Shamash, accompanying Mobius in her pursuit of the true meaning of immortality, or experiencing five thousand years of history with Hua...

He was present for everything.

Later, when Schicksal was founded and Otto began to go mad, he participated in the first Honkai Eruptiuon, the second Eruption... and almost all the subsequent ones. He became one with the entire history of the Honkai world in various identities.

When in the end, he personally freed Kiana, who was sealed on the moon...

Everything was finally over.

Suddenly, a concert by Magical Girl Teriri started playing on TV.

The world-class concert, personally arranged by the retired former Bishop of Schicksal, was held at Dragon's Nest, with nearly 300,000 people in attendance.

At this time, Magical Girl Teriri was beginning to sing the first song of the concert.

"The day you and the stars disappeared"

"As the lights are shining strongTo forget you and all of the stars above

I yell out "Please answer me!", my voice drying out

And all of my feelings disappear"

Hearing this familiar song, Mo Chen couldn't help but recall the past.

'Yes, when the dazzling sun comes, the stars should indeed disappear.'

'I am just a fleeting shooting star.'

'In the days to come, I will just live an ordinary life under the shelter of the sun.'

Thinking of this, Mo Chen planned to ignore the last system task.

Now that they have come to a perfect worldline, let's leave everything to fate.

'Who I meet and who I fall in love with are all chosen by fate. I won't do anything deliberately...'

All of a sudden, when Mo Chen was lying lazily on the bed for the first time in a long time, Raiden Mei, who had just passed him on the street, was recalling the man she had just met, and it took her a long time to forget him.

'What's going on with that familiar feeling? Is it just a coincidence?'

Shaking her head, Raiden Mei turned on her phone and prepared to watch the concert of Magical Girl Teriri.

Due to a crazy text message bombardment from a retired bishop in the internal group of Schicksal, every member of the Schicksal organization was forced to contribute their own number of views to the live broadcast of the concert.

Raiden Mei, Captain of the third team of Schicksal, was no exception.

However, just as she opened the Blue Video website and planned to watch the live broadcast, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange video out of the corner of her eye——
