Before the collapse of civilization, Yingjie and I were reborn together

"This is Miss Nia's nursing home." Pa Duo looked at the nursing home that was different from what he remembered and said, "Sister Eden is really generous. I heard from her when I was in Australia before that she even sponsored I met Miss Nia a few times..."

"Hmph... gaudy." Qian Jie said with a cold snort.

Zhu Yufeng looked up at the nursing home in Alponia. In his impression, the condition of this nursing home can only be said to be good, because most of the funds are funded by the nearby church, so there is not much money to renovate. Replacing things when they break will also keep the kids in the nursing home short on food for a while.

Fortunately, Qianjie walked all the way to the sanatorium after the Fifth Herrscher incident, and staying here not only saved a fortune in moving things, but also solved some other people who had malicious intentions towards the sanatorium.

The relationship between Qianjie and Aponia was obviously good at the beginning, but then they fell out for some reason, and it turned into Qianjie trying to kill Aponia in every possible way, and then being subdued by the commandments of Aponia...

Eden's funding is definitely not small, but the nursing home doesn't seem to have added anything, it just refurbished some old things.

Judging from Aponia's personality, she probably thinks this is enough, and the extra money should be given to the nearby churches.

That's good, even in Twilight Street, the influence of the church is still large enough. Aponia gave the extra money to the church, and the church will naturally pay more attention to this nursing home, so that other forces in Twilight Street can be restrained .

"Who are you?" A childish voice sounded, "What do you want to do?"

Zhu Yufeng turned around and looked down. It was a child who was looking at him vigilantly.

"Eh? That..."

Just as Pa Duo wanted to explain, Zhu Yufeng said lightly: "We are here to find Aponia, so we are old acquaintances."

The child's eyes became more vigilant: "What are you trying to do? This is a sanatorium affiliated with the church. I warn you not to mess around!"

When he said this, he first glanced at Pa Duo, and then he seemed to judge that "this sister should be a good person", and then turned his eyes to Qian Jie and Zhu Yufeng.

This expressionless guy doesn't look like a good person at first glance. Is that masked man his bodyguard?It seems very fierce... Or is it that the masked man is the boss, and the expressionless one is his military adviser or something?

"Why are you talking nonsense with him?" Qian Jie walked directly into the nursing home.

Zhu Yufeng and Pa Duo looked at each other, and after looking at the child who wanted to stop Qian Jie but was scared by Qian Jie, they also walked in behind Qian Jie.

"Brother Jie knows him, right..." Patuo whispered to Zhu Yufeng, "Brother Jie's tone seems to be gentler than before?"

"It looks like, didn't you know him before you left Twilight Street?" Zhu Yufeng asked.

"I don't know him, at least I didn't see Brother Jie before I left Twilight Street." Patuo said after thinking about it.

That should be the child that Aponiya took in after that, Zhu Yufeng thought.In fact, he has already discovered the traces of the child's hand being corroded by Houkai, but it is not very deep. If he gets the corresponding treatment, although it cannot be cured, at least he can live for a long time, but in an environment like Twilight Street...

As soon as the three of them entered the nursing home, the child seemed to muster up his courage, and ran in one step ahead of them, shouting loudly as he ran: "Mother Aponia, everyone, there are bad guys coming in!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Does he look like a bad guy?How do you say that among the three, only Qianjie seems like a bad guy?

Zhu Yufeng cast his eyes on Pa Duo, and Pa Duo looked at Zhu Yu Feng seriously, and then said: "Brother Yu Feng, if you are willing to smile more like the first time I met you, it should not be the case."

Does that mean I look like a villain now?Zhu Yufeng looked away speechlessly, the bad guys are the bad guys, and he didn't bother to have a good relationship with the kids here.

Aponia came out when she heard the movement, and she didn't show much surprise after seeing the three of them: "It's you, Qianjie, Patuo, and Feng."

"It's Sister Patuo and Uncle Qianjie!" said a child who knew Patuo and Qianjie.

Zhu Yufeng took a look at the things they were holding in their hands, rolling pins, feather dusters... No, are you really planning to fight us?Just rely on these?

"Actually, they should also prepare thumbtacks, laundry detergent, etc..." Pa Duo whispered next to Zhu Yufeng, "When we left with Brother Jie, we were afraid that someone would take the opportunity to bully them when Brother Jie was away, so we taught them some things about themselves. The means of protection..."

Thumbtacks, laundry detergent... How about playing Home Alone here?

Well, this group of brats also have a bit of fighting power, provided they catch them by surprise.

"Hmph, you still look like that." Qian Jie hugged his chest and snorted coldly, "It's really annoying to always have this expression."

Aponiya didn't care about Qianjie's attitude: "Then, what's the matter with you guys coming here?"

"Uh... it's not only Miss Nia who hasn't come back yet... I haven't seen you with everyone, I just passed by this time, so I'll come and have a look." Pa Duo said, originally he wanted to say that only sister Nia didn't come back. Back to Firemoth, but after thinking about it later, Sister Eden didn't return Firemoth, and Firemoth is still a secret organization, so I temporarily changed it.

"Is that so..." Aponia nodded, turned around and said to the children, "Okay, children, they are all friends I know, there is nothing wrong, let's put things back."

"But...we've never seen that person before, he doesn't look like a good person." A little girl pointed at Zhu Yufeng and said, "The sister of the church said that good-looking people like this are all liars. A big liar of children's feelings!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Is this to praise him or hurt him?

Just when Patuo was about to speak up to defend Zhu Yufeng, Aponia spoke first: "It's okay, Evelyn, he's not a bad person, he's...a very good person."

The little girl named "Evelyn" looked at Alponia with a strange expression. Could it be that Alponia's mother has been deceived by this man?The sister of the church said that the girls who have been cheated will speak well for these big liars.

"Mother Aponia, you can't be fooled by him." Evelyn said with some worry.

"He won't." Alponia's voice was soft and calm, "Okay, let's all go back, children, I may have to catch up with these former friends."

Evelyn glanced at Zhu Yufeng, but still said worriedly: "Mother Aponia, you must be careful..."

Before leaving, he did not forget to give Zhu Yufeng a glance.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Aponia, your ability to explain the reason is similar to that of Kevin, the more you describe it, the darker it is.And... there is one thing that Zhu Yufeng really wants to complain about, that is, Alponia's age is not that old, she seems to be about the same age as Alicia?At most a little bigger...

The name Mama Alponia is... a bit weird.

Watching the children leave, Aponia took Zhu Yufeng and others to a room, and explained to Zhu Yufeng: "In this place called Dusk Street, children always have to learn some ways to protect themselves."

"Understandable." Zhu Yufeng said, "By the way, at the beginning I yelled... What is the name of the child who notified you?"

"He is Kona. When it comes to familiarity, Qianjie should know him too, right?" Aponia looked at Qianjie and said.

"...how could I remember what happened so long ago." Qian Jie turned his face away, but his tone was unusually weak, which could only mean that anyone could tell that Qian Jie really knew that child.

"Kona is a very good boy." Seeing that Qianjie was reluctant to say anything, Aponia explained, "When Qianjie came to the nursing home and worked as a porter temporarily, he always helped Qianjie busy."

"There's no need to mention the past!" Qian Jie said viciously, "You two didn't come to Aponia to talk about these things, did you? Don't waste your time here!"

"Qianjie..." Aponiya looked at Qianjie, sighed softly, did not continue, but changed the subject, "Then what are you doing here this time?"

"It's the same as what Pa Duo said. I passed by here on the way, so I came to have a look." Zhu Yufeng looked at Aponia and said, "The children here should be better off than before, right?"

The kid named Kona, if he wasn’t killed by Sakura in the end, he should have died before that due to the erosion of the Houkai, but judging from his current symptoms, he should be able to live until dusk under normal circumstances At the time of the street incident, but it seems that Qianjie is unwilling to bring up a rather contradictory look... Is it because of what happened to promote the erosion of the Houkai, and that incident is related to Qianjie?

Chapter 1 Eighty Upright Alponia

"Indeed." Aponia nodded, "Even if most of the funds given by Eden are donated to the church, the rest is enough to keep the children here from lacking in food and clothing."

"Why don't you think about expanding or renovating the nursing home?" Zhu Yufeng said, "In this case, you should be able to help more people, right?"

"So, will their final fate change?" Aponia asked.

Zhu Yufeng was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question. Judging from the children who were eroded by the collapse and forced to wander around in Albonia, even if she expanded the nursing home to accommodate more children, the management would be difficult. One problem, and another problem is the handling of the Twilight Street incident.

The outbreak of Honkai is unstoppable, and once Honkai happens, it will be difficult for Alponia’s sanitarium to escape the detection of Flaming Moths. Think about the reason why Flaming Moths imprisoned Alponia in the first place: to house a large number of people without reason The child who was eroded by Houkai is suspected to be related to the occurrence of Houkai.

Of course, there is also the reason why Alponia's own confession is too easy to think too much.

She admitted that she knew that the collapse would happen, but she also denied that the occurrence of the collapse had anything to do with her, and said that everything was already doomed.

But now, the world snake has been established, and the shadow of the snake is gradually spreading in the fire moth. It is not impossible to save those children by then, but it is also necessary to consider whether this is meaningful.

"Huh, I talk about these boring things every day." Qianjie felt angry when he heard Aponia say these things. When he first came to the nursing home this time, Aponia told him that Zhu Yufeng was still It will be the same as before, and now say these again!

Just as Qianjie was about to have an attack, Aponia looked at Qianjie, then at Patuo, and said, "Phyllis, there is still Qianjie, I have something to talk to Feng alone, I can ask you to go Have a look at the children?"

"Huh? You want me to help you bring those brats?" Qian Jie looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "You think too much! I'm not that guy, I have so many moods to coax the brats to play!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

He also brought Gracie and Bell occasionally... Well, there is also Jaina, Lilith seems to like to pull herself to Jaina now...

Because the sentence "Is it the relationship between parents and mothers?" was directly listed on the white list by Lilith, the little sister is trying to save herself!

"Thousands of robberies..." Aponia looked at Qianjie.

"Tsk..." Qian Jie turned around and was about to leave the room, "I'm not in the mood to take those brats with me! If you want to talk about it alone, talk about it alone!"

Qian Jie opened the door, several children fell in directly, Qian Jie glanced at them, then looked at the other children around the door, "hummed" and went straight out.

"Evelyn, eavesdropping is bad behavior." Aponia looked at the head child and said, her tone was always gentle and calm, "As I said, they are not bad people, they are all me. friends I know."

"I'm sorry, Mama Alponia..." The children all chose to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

Aponia looked at Patuo again: "So, Phyllis, can you please take care of them for me?"

"Of course there is no problem..." Patuo looked at the children and then at Aponia. Although she thought that Sister Niah would not have any thoughts about Brother Yufeng, but this time again The amount of information she came to know was too explosive, and she also realized that so many people like Brother Yufeng, which made her a little uncertain...

However, at least Ahua and Sister Eden seem to have no such intentions, so... you should be at ease, right?

The main reason is that sister Nia's words are too easy to be misunderstood... what I want to say to Brother Yufeng alone...

After thinking about it, Patuo took the children out of the room and went outside, and closed the door before leaving.

"What's the matter, you must tell me alone?" Zhu Yufeng asked.

Aponia looked in the direction of the door, walked over to confirm that no one was around, and then she looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "It's about you. If Qian Jie and Phyllis were present, there might be some Not a good influence."

"About me?" Zhu Yufeng tilted his head.

"In this rebirth, I can no longer see the threads of fate hanging over the heads of all living beings, just like after Ellie sacrificed herself." Aponia said softly.

"Isn't that a good thing? At least this time, human beings are no longer puppets in the stage play of the so-called gods." Zhu Yufeng said, and at the same time, he began to guess what Alicia's power is, and what the so-called gods are. And why these are related to me...

"But it's also possible, it's just that my eyes are covered, isn't it?" Aponia said with a faint smile.

"No, she did it. After that, she also became a Herrscher. My humanity is the best proof, isn't it?" Zhu Yufeng said.

Aponia looked at Zhu Yufeng's still-looking face at the moment, and his thoughts drifted back to the time before his rebirth, when he...

Aponia withdrew her thoughts, and just asked: "At that time, were you really human?"

Zhu Yufeng frowned.

"I know, and everyone knows, that you were the one who protected us and fought against the end to the last moment. However, at that time, did your obsession to defeat the Honkai overwhelm the Herrscher's instinct, or did your humanity prevail? What about it?" Aponia said slowly, "It doesn't matter the future of mankind, it doesn't care about your own destiny, you gamble everything just to win the end, how much humanity do you have left at that time?"

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a while, and then said: "Indeed, at that time, or after the tragedy of restraint, except for the people I knew well, I cared less and less about everything around me, and I only cared less and less. I know, it has nothing to do with human thoughts, I can’t let Lilith and their sacrifices become worthless. But it doesn’t mean that I didn’t have humanity left at that time, I still remember the things at that time, remember the thoughts at that time, Even if the final battle is repeated now, my choice will not change in any way."

"Yeah, so now, your choice still hasn't changed, right?" Aponia asked again.

"Of course, it's not just you and me who have memories in this rebirth, Alicia and Kevin all have memories." Zhu Yufeng said, "We can have more time to prepare."

"Do you know, Feng..." Aponia looked into Zhu Yufeng's eyes and said, "I know, my eyes were not blinded, the threads of life and fate were indeed erased by Ellie, but you know, I am How are you sure?"

"This is what you said at the beginning, something related to me, something that Qianjie and Patuo should not know?" Zhu Yufeng asked.

Aponia nodded slightly, then looked at Zhu Yufeng with some sad eyes and said: "I can no longer see the fate of everyone, but this time, I, who have never seen your fate, saw your fate. "

She saw the fall of [God Shadow] and the disappearance of [Dawn]. She also thought that everything was just her own illusion or a dream, but today, when she met the fallen angel again, She had to admit that it was not a hallucination or a dream.

She shouldn't have said this to him, but she also felt that she had to say this, because she thought that the fate she saw was not unchangeable, as long as he no longer chose that path...

However, it is also because he will not change his choice, so his fate will not change...

She looked into the eyes of the fallen angel, what did she want to get from his eyes, surprise, sadness or anger?But there was only peace in the other party's eyes, and his news didn't seem to cause the slightest disturbance to him.

He was just silent, and after a while he laughed wryly at himself and said: "So... this also means that I have really integrated into this world? That's right, I am already a Herrscher, and I belong to the tree of imaginary numbers It's not surprising..."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Aponia, and it was the first time he saw surprise in the eyes of this nun who always had a face of compassion. He smiled and said, "Why, what other reactions do you expect from me? Not reconciled , Angry? Heh... Maybe, there is a little bit... After all, I was told that I would die so suddenly, I still have some thoughts..."

His fate is finally going to destruction. If it was him before, it definitely doesn't matter, because he has already prepared for it. The road to fighting against the collapse cannot be without sacrifices. He who has really fought with the end has a deep understanding of this , No matter what means, there is no way to kill Mo Yan. At that time, he tried everything, but in the end he could only hit Mo Yan until he was down for 72 hours.

In addition, in fact, he also felt that he had indeed forgotten something. He clearly remembered the process of the final battle, but he still felt that he had forgotten something...

In addition, he wanted to say that it was just a second death, but he hesitated again, because this time, he knew that there were many people who cared about him, that there were people who loved him deeply and cared about him...

If I still go to death this time, Alicia and the others... what will happen?

But soon he was relieved, even if he was going to die, at least he would never do nothing, and he remembered the painting of Gracie, the knight who has not seen the dawn, but the knight did not usher in the dawn, but the world Still ushered in the dawn.

He is not a noble person, he just wants the people he cares about to live well, and that is the "dawn" he expects.

He now feels that it's a good thing that Aponia saved Qianjie, and it's hard for Padu to say, but after hearing what she said, Qianjie might go straight into a state of rage and have to demolish half of the sanatorium to calm down.

It is really necessary to change Alponia's way of speaking, at least it is better not to say "you will die next" so bluntly...

"At least, I won't be alone this time," he said.

Aponia just looked at him quietly, and said after a long time: "You, have you become a Herrscher now?"

"Oh this." Zhu Yufeng thought for a while and said, "Mebius is saying that I am a natural Herrscher like Alicia, although I haven't found my Herrscher core... What is the specific reason? She doesn't know either, but once you said you saw my fate or something, I seemed to understand it all at once."

"Does that mean you've integrated into this world?" Aponia asked.

Zhu Yufeng nodded: "Yeah, speaking of this matter, I probably don't know about it now... With his personality, it's better not to tell him before I have the ability not to be broken by him .”

"Qianjie is indeed a kind child, although sometimes his thoughts are too straightforward." Aponia said, "but his starting point is good. Then, you can tell me in detail about your integration into Is this a thing of this world?"
