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

The young man with the inscription of "Xuguang" and the mortal with the inscription of "Empty Dream" stepped forward, as if they wanted to put down the fallen angel who had been standing all the time, closed his eyes for him, and wished him a reunion with his friends on the other side .

But after their hands touched the fallen angel, they seemed to be still, without any movement.

"Pado, Cosmo, we are all sad for Feng's departure, but... we... also need to learn to say goodbye." The singer of the inscription [Golden] said.

[Xu Guang] was speechless, while [Kong Meng] hesitated for a moment, and said with a little cry: "But...can't move, brother Yufeng...he can't move at all..."

"It's really strange..." The snake master of the [Infinity] inscription stepped forward to verify the words of [Kongmeng], and murmured, "He is just an empty shell now, he has been eroded so deeply by Houkai, After using the zeroth rated power of Heiyuan Baihua for the last time...why would there still be..."

The hero of [Salvation] silently walked in front of the fallen angel of [Shenying], looked into his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Feng, I promise you that no matter how much the price is paid, human beings will definitely Defeat the collapse."

The fallen angel stood quietly, and gradually he closed his eyes, and his body turned into light particles and dissipated away.

The hero of [Salvation] raised his head, looked at the vast universe above his head, and said again: "Humanity will definitely defeat Honkai."

Everyone watched the light disappear. After a long while, 【Infinity】 looked at her: "Hey, Wei Wei, can you still move? Are there any usable instruments in the destroyed Moonlight Throne?"

She turned a deaf ear, just looking at the black abyss and white flower left where the fallen angel once stood.

"Oh, forget it! You are just like that when the other personalities are silent..." [Infinity] also shifted his gaze to the god key that was close to being scrapped, "Besides, I don't bother to observe anything now ...There is no need..."

After a long while, she stepped forward, stretched out her hand and held the Heiyuan Baihua, as if she was looking at the God's Key, and wanted to see if it could be repaired, because this is what [Vilwei] will do, and it should be Things to do by her.

But she was just looking at the former boy.

Is there a possibility that someone paid attention to and liked this boy earlier than Lilith?

It's just that the young man never looked at her, and she also knew that it was difficult for her to compete with the girl whom the young man admired. She was just a fraudster. She could deceive the world, even herself, but she couldn't deceive her own feelings, the truth inferior self.

She watched him, watching him who was different every time he woke up.

"Ah, hello, I am Alicia's deputy, you can call me Feng, or Yufeng. As you can see, I am writing Alicia's mission report, and I may... just This is a little bit of ability, after all, Kevin can play much more than me..."

This is him when we first met, but he seems to have forgotten about it long ago. At that time, he was still full of resentment towards Kevin.

"The captain of the seventh team of the European branch, although you may have to change the name of the team after being transferred back to the headquarters. My name is Zhu Yufeng, hello... We seem to have met before? It seems that I didn't talk to you when I was in the headquarters. Anyway, let's get to know each other again. By the way, this is my deputy, Lilith."

This is him who was transferred back from the European branch. She also pays attention to the girl next to her. She is really a perfect girl. She seems to be unable to compete...

"Huh? Is there something wrong?"

This was after she decided to cut her mind and went to see him before falling into a deep sleep. At that time, he seemed to have let go of something, but she still didn't think she could express her feelings frankly, because in fact She was basically paying attention to him unilaterally...

"...Don't worry, they just fell into a brief silence because of the effect of the enchantment of divine grace. Thank you, no, it should be said, thank you for creating a momentary opportunity for me to kill the Herrscher of Restraint."

This is him after the tragedy of restraint. At that time, he seemed to be very tired. She looked at the deputy who had passed away in his arms, and she chose to remain silent again.

"...you'll be fine."

That was the last time she saw him. Under the final attack, all the personalities she relied on were silent. At the moment when the Moonlight Throne was about to be destroyed, he brought her back to the moon. She has seen the posture on people, only seen in books, and the embrace that she had hoped for.

"Am I also a ship of Theseus?"

"The current me, can I still be called a [person]?"

The personality who had divided all his feelings for him and all his pride by himself relayed everything that happened at that time to her.

She still hasn't figured out the answer to that question, but she thinks she should be clear about one thing, that is, no matter how she divides it, she can't completely divide her feelings for him, no matter how a new personality is born, no matter how it disappears No matter how much the old personality is lost, some things just don't go away.

"But isn't it too late to think so now?" She looked at Heiyuan Baihua and thought.

"What's more, it really doesn't matter if people are different or not, because...even if it was you at that time, you were still you, and you were still so...handsome, right?"

Fanwai·The story after that

Front row reminder: bgm: theme of love

"I'm back, Mei." The white-haired youth looked at the leader wearing glasses and said, "We...failed."

"I know...Kevin, our guess about the end was wrong from the very beginning..." Mei put one hand on the podium and said, looking at the desolate moon on the screen, "We also This mistake paid our price..."

"Feng...he has won us a glimmer of hope for the future. Humans have not lost yet, and we still have a chance." Kevin said.

"Alicia will return herself to Honkai, and Feng will finally seal it for three days... We... still have time to prepare... Cough cough cough..." Mei was talking, and suddenly covered her mouth, When he let go again, his palm was already full of blood.

"Mei?!" Kevin's expression changed, "Your body..."

Mei waved her hand, and said a little tiredly: "There's nothing to make a fuss about... My body, in fact, couldn't hold on long ago. If it wasn't for Feng giving up the time when Mebius developed the medicine that could treat him, I would have I can't even welcome you who came back from the moon..."

"Mei, you always like to hold on so much... Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing?" Kevin's voice was rarely reproached.

Mei shook her head with a wry smile, and said: "Because I don't want you to worry about me, and I don't want my departure to take up the rest of your life... But Feng told me that I was wrong, and he said that if I do this Only by leaving will you never be able to let go, so...he gave up the time for Mebius to develop a drug that can treat him, and forced me to have a way to wait until you come back from the moon."

"...But he didn't come back, and I have no way to thank him."

"Yeah, maybe at that time, he was already ready to meet his end. You can't stop a person who wants to die, can you? Lilith, who has been accompanying him all the time, is restraining the tragedy The time is gone, and Alicia, who was his initial belief in joining the flame moth, is also gone, and the rest of us, what can we do to keep him?"

"...We are very similar to him and Lilith."

"Yeah, that's what he convinced me. Me and you are like him and Lilith, Lilith's departure, the changes that have happened to him will always make me think of you...Kevin, I hope you can Walk out of your own path instead of following my shadow, but...if I hadn't been here and said this to you personally, I'm afraid you would still have chosen the Stigmata Project in the end."

"..."

"Whether it's Feng or Alicia, they all think this is the worst plan, and so do I."

Kevin wanted to say something, but fell silent again. He also looked at the desolate moon on the screen, and said after a long time: "He and Alicia... walked side by side all the way, and we didn't know they were burdened until the end. What... until the end, we couldn't do anything for them, we could only watch them walk in front of us and open up the future for us."

"Feng..." Mei lowered her eyes, and after a long time, she raised her head to look at the screen again, "Kevin, do you think he will see anything at the end?"

Kevin was silent.

"I'm a scientist, so I shouldn't have said these things, but if possible, I also hope that there is really such a place after death, which is their common destination. In this way..." Mei looked at Kevin, "Will he be able to see Lilith on the other side where we will eventually reach?"

"He'll see," Kevin said.

"He can finally have a good rest..." Mei said and walked outside again. Every step she took seemed a little strenuous. Kevin stretched out his hand to support Mei, but he hesitated that his side effects would give May The already poor body was even worse.

"Don't worry about me, I'm still aware of my physical condition, I haven't reached the point where I need help... Cough cough..." Mei coughed again, "Come with me, Kevin, originally that I intend to ask Su to tell you, but since I am still standing here, then... let me tell you personally."

"What is it?"

"It's me and your child."

"?"

Exterior of Flamemoth base.

Pa Duo left the base in a hurry after returning to Earth. She came to the place where she had buried her treasure box, and regardless of the dirt brought by the soil, she reached out and dug out the box she had buried not long ago.

Her hands trembled a little. She wanted to open the box but failed, only to remember that the box needs to be opened with a key.

"The key...the key...we probably didn't forget it on the moon..." Pa Duo searched his whole body before he hurriedly took out the key and opened the box.

For a moment, she thought that if she didn't find the key, she would break the box open.

"Let me see... this is Miss Ellie's hairpin, this is Miss Weiwei's small machine, and this is Miss Snake's pendant..." She took out the contents one by one to confirm.

"This is Brother Jie's mask..." She took out the mask that she definitely couldn't get her hands on. She looked at the mask and pursed her mouth.

This was given to her by brother Yufeng. After he told him his goal before, before the final battle started, he brought brother Jie's mask and gave it to her.

……

"Eh? Brother Yufeng...you, you fought with Brother Jie?"

"Well, it's nothing. It's good to exercise your muscles and bones before the final battle. Anyway, he always wanted to fight me seriously. After the fight, I asked him if he could get a mask, and he gave it to me."

"That...Brother Yufeng, you..."

"Didn't you say you wanted it before? I just happened to be able to get it for you, so I took it."

"..."

……

Pa Duo put down the mask, rummaged through the box again, and found a well-preserved flame-moth badge.

……

"Brother Yufeng...this is..."

"When I first joined Flaming Moth, Alicia personally pinned the badge on me."

"Sister Ellie gave it to you? This, this, this... we can't accept this, right?"

"Then... you can keep it for me, and I will come back to get it after the final battle is over."

"okay……"

……

Patuo looked at the small badge in his hand. It was a badge that a girl pinned on the boy a long time ago. It was the reason for the boy's first fight, and it was also the beginning of the boy's ups and downs in his life.

Even if he never saw each other again, he never discarded this badge. On the contrary, he always cherished this small badge. After many years, its luster is still the same as before, as if it has never been stained with dust or damaged.

Will he pick up the badge and reminisce about the past when he is sleepless at night from the side effects?

Padu didn't know.

She just felt it was unfair, and she wanted to know, what did he get in the end, why...why could he keep fighting like this?

The word hero has always been far away from her. When she was a child, she never took it seriously when she listened to the stories of heroes told by the old woman, because there are always people who make heroes, and there are always people who stand up for the sky. Although she thought so, but at that time , she, like everyone else, envied the hero in the story.

"But if... this is the ending of a hero, this is the story of a hero..." Pa Duo murmured, "What's the point of such a hero?"

She carefully put the badge in a small box, put it back in the box, and took out a uniform from the box.

It was the uniform of the Fallen Angel Squad that had become the past, and it was tailor-made for her, because this was the birthday wish she had made. Whether it's La-san or Mastima-san... Even Sister Astaroth died in it...

And she, who was older than Astarota, had not participated in the crusade against the Lawers from the very beginning because of a ridiculous cold.

In the end, brother Yufeng brought this dress to her. Although she knew it fit well, she never put it on.

His vision suddenly became a little blurred, Pa Duo wiped his face indiscriminately, and said to himself: "Since I survived, since Brother Yufeng gave me these... I have to do what I should do Things just work..."

She folded the uniform and put it on the bottom of the box, then picked up the box and walked back the way she came.

Before leaving again, she looked back at the place where the box was dug out. When she buried the box, she and Brother Yufeng buried it together. The first thing she thought was, with her weakest and heroic strength Participating in the final battle is definitely going to never come back. I buried the box with brother Yufeng, and then brother Yufeng would know where to dig out the box.

But in the end, she was the only one who came back here...

Moth Chasing Fire base, dance hall.

The final battle failed, and the dormancy of all things will start before the final awakening again. The civilization has been destroyed, and the remaining people are panicking in the only remaining base. 】The singers still use the ancient harp seriously, playing melodies that the world has never heard.

"You are here, Eden." Aponia came to the stage, looked at Eden and said, "Is this song for Ellie? I remember, when Ellie left, your This song is not finished yet."

"Yeah, it's a pity that this piece of music couldn't be played to Ellie in the end." Eden stopped playing, and she looked towards the empty auditorium and said, "Aponia, you Said, if Ai Li agreed to Feng at the beginning, and Feng did not choose to leave after that, would the ending now be different?"

Aponia was silent, she didn't know how to answer Eden, because in her eyes, only Feng and Ai Li had no corresponding thread of fate, so for these two people, their fate was in their own hands In their hands, but...they also chose to walk towards the path of ten deaths and no life, towards the future that is doomed to perish.

"Actually, I originally wrote the song for Ellie, but Feng corrected some of my mistakes after Ellie left." Eden said softly, "He said that Ellie's life has never been No haze, her soul is pure and flawless, her curtain call, her finale shouldn't be so low... I agreed with his words at the beginning, until after the final battle..."

Alponia listened quietly.

Eden lowered his eyes and continued: "Perhaps as he said, Ellie's life is indeed like this, but...he may never have thought that Ellie would be sad because of him, and he will always miss him at the end. He... yes, he may have never known that in Ai Li's story, he has always been there. However, fate is so unpredictable that they who once cared about each other could not get along in the end. See."

Aponia looked at the harp that Eden used to play, and after a while, she sighed softly. She would impose discipline on every soldier, so that they could at least have a sweet dream when they were dying, but... Feng was not In this way, Kevin invalidated her precepts at the cost of no longer dreaming, and Feng was protected by Beffinger from the beginning, and including the factors of the Chimera plan, he was completely immune to the effects of the precepts.

In the end, he had to wait for Kevin to promise him that human beings would defeat the Honkai before disappearing. In the end, he may not even have a dream.

In Aponya's eyes, he has always been lonely, because she watched him try hard to cut and then connect other people's silk thread, countless efforts, countless failures, he faced the challenge alone. These, never said.

Perhaps, he may have already known the fate of everyone, but unlike himself who chose to give up a long time ago, he still chose to fight. He once saved the rest of the fallen angels, but in the end, he still failed to change the ending of the restraint .

How much she wanted him to have a dream at least in the end, a dream in which his wish came true, but she couldn't do it, and even in the end, she could only watch him leave alone.

How much she wanted to give this tired traveler a hug, even if this hug couldn't change anything.

"Aponia, sometimes I also think, what would everything be like if there was no Honkai?" Eden asked.

Aponia thought for a while and said, "Maybe, we won't meet."

"That's right...Feng and Ai Li didn't see each other again because of Honkai, but without Honkai, their story would be impossible to tell." Eden sighed softly.

Aponia lowered her eyes. She actually had a premonition that Feng might not even exist in this world if there was no Honkai...

"Even though all kinds of sufferings were imposed on him, he still walked forward alone, so he left behind a tomorrow called hope." Aponia said softly.

Mebius' laboratory.

"Klein, if that Mebius in Paradise takes a paranoid path in the future, give her this image." Mebius said to the puppet Klein.

"I see, doctor." The puppet Klein nodded, "Well...doctor, if you really miss Feng, why don't you make an armed puppet like me?"

Mebius looked at Klein, but didn't answer, she just stared at the empty laboratory in a daze.
