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

He got acquainted with the Thirteen Fire Chasing Heroes who were more real than in the game, and even formed a deep friendship with Kevin and most of the Heroes, but... that's all.Other than the game characters, he only knew the team members he led, and he didn't communicate with everyone else at all.

Now, there is an opportunity in front of him that can make him do better than his previous life, how could he refuse?

"Then I'll leave it to Dr. Mebius." Zhu Yufeng stretched out his hand, and Mebius extended his hand back with a triumphant smile.

Now that Zhu Yufeng's consent has been obtained, the following procedures will be much easier. She will bring Zhu Yufeng back to the headquarters of the Moth of the Fire, and carry out special training with her experiments.

Of course, it would be even better if he could make his will to fight against Honkai not so strong.

While Zhu Yufeng went to go through the formalities with Klein, Alicia and Mebius had some time to spend alone.

Alicia was the first to speak: "Mebius, you have also been reborn, haven't you?"

"Heh... I'm afraid it's not just me. I realized that the matter was more serious than I thought when I arrived at the scene. Apart from you and me, Yufeng was also reborn." Mebius stared at Alicia and said, " Do you know what this means? Not only does it mean that Kevin and the others are also likely to be reborn, but it also means that Yufeng may be more paranoid than in the previous life!"

Alicia was silent.

"Besides, if you behave like this, he may have guessed that you have also been reborn. You'd better restrain yourself next time. It's the best result to dispel his suspicion." Mebius said angrily.

"Why? If this is the case, can't we confess to him? Let's start over together, start fighting again, and strive for a better future." Alicia said.

Mebius looked at Alicia speechlessly: "Alicia, do you misunderstand Yufeng? That's right, after all, he spends more time with me later on. You don't know who he is. Such."

Alicia showed a puzzled expression. She always felt that Zhu Yufeng became so bewildered in the later period because no one understood him and because he was too lonely.

In fact, she didn't think wrong, the problem was that it wasn't that no one understood him, but that he rejected everyone!

Mebius sighed for a long time, and explained a little tiredly: "Yufeng's character is too stubborn, think about it, if there was no Yufeng in the last life, how big would be the disasters caused by each collapse? It will be more serious than we remember. Yufeng himself knows it, and because he knows it, he will not change his thoughts and behaviors. If we let him know that we are also reborn, he will only ask us Act according to his ideas, otherwise we will part ways in the end."

Alicia was taken aback, she was at a loss, because the side of Zhu Yufeng that Mebius said was indeed a side she didn't understand, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"The best way now is to make him think that only you and him are reborn. After all, he has trusted you from the beginning to the end." Mebius said, "He will still accommodate you, because he was like this before, but this But it won't change his mind, what we have to do is to change him slowly and silently, understand what I mean?"

"I see." Alicia whispered, "You are right, Mebius, I was too impatient..." She understood that it is not only this world that needs to be redeemed, but also the world that has been saved. A lonely traveler who goes astray.

But in this way, she felt even more distressed about that stubborn boy, because he had been fighting against Honkai alone all this time, but no one had been able to save him.

Mebius looked at the direction where Zhu Yufeng left, and said softly: "He is a good boy, even if he insists on going his own way, he is still a good boy. He doesn't owe the world anything, and he never asked the world to give him anything." In return... he shouldn't have become what he is now."

In the last life, she was so immersed in the pursuit of infinity that it was too late to discover all this, but now, they still have more time and more opportunities to slowly redeem this lonely boy .

And she also has her own selfishness, Mebius glanced at Alicia, this time, she wanted to be the one standing beside him.

Chapter 4 Alicia still loves him

The appearance of Mebius disrupted Zhu Yufeng's original expectations, but in Zhu Yufeng's view, it was a good thing. On the plane returning to the headquarters of the Moth, Zhu Yufeng began to revise the plan. He might try to persuade Mebius to go ahead Carry out the fusion warrior plan and become a fusion warrior before the Seventh Herrscher incident, which may prevent the Seventh Herrscher from completely burning Australia.

But this also has to consider whether climbing the technology tree too high and too fast will further increase the strength of the Herrscher. After all, the Herrscher of Restraint clearly appeared for fusion fighters.If it wasn't for Lilith and the others who risked their lives to open the way, he would never have been able to reach the Herrscher of Restraint, and at that time he expected that he would die with the Herrscher of Restraint, but in the end, the Herrscher of Restraint, who was penetrated by the black abyss and white flowers, Instead of fighting back, he chose to give him a hug.

"Michael..." Zhu Yufeng thought of that devout girl. She was originally a medical worker. Zhu Yufeng often saw her helping the wounded on the battlefield and praying for them.However, she eventually became the enemy of human beings and swung a sharp blade at the human beings she had been helping.No, not necessarily, maybe she thinks that dying in sleep is the best ending for human beings, right?

No need to worry about the future, no need to struggle under the pressure of existence, everything will end in a dream.

No.11 Herrscher, the power of the Herrscher of Restraint, Honkai can be suppressed, ordinary people will die immediately, and fusion fighters will die within 1 minute.

Although he has personally entered the enchantment of divine grace, his feeling seems to be different from others. He heard Wei Wei said that the feeling was very painful, but he felt that after entering the enchantment of divine grace, there seemed to be a pair of invisible The hand was helping him to unload the burden on his body, as if he wanted him to let go of his obsession and go back.

Originally, there were two plans to attack the Herrscher of Constraint. One was the fallen angel team and other fusion fighters to attack head-on. He and Kevin seized the opportunity to break through the barrier of divine grace and kill the Herrscher of Constraint.The other one was proposed by "Extreme Evil" Wei Wei, sending as many ordinary people as possible into the battlefield at all costs, breaking through the upper limit of the restriction of the Herrscher, and making the barrier of divine grace invalid in a short time.

As the leader of the most powerful fusion fighter team fighting against the Houkai at that time, he clearly agreed with Wei Wei's plan. According to the "extremely evil" calculation, the number of people who invalidated the barrier of divine grace is still on the way to rebuilding civilization compared to the total number of human beings. It was within the acceptable range, but in the end this plan aroused fierce opposition from Alicia, Mei and others, because in this plan, ordinary people who were sent to the enchantment of divine grace had only one ending, death.

Even if there are volunteers who are willing to sacrifice, that number is far beyond what the number of volunteers can achieve.

The high-level people debated for a long time, and finally chose the first plan.

In desperation, he was going to let his team members go beyond the high-level orders and forcefully send Wei Wei's estimated number of civilians into the Divine Grace Barrier. In his eyes, fusion fighters, the strongest weapon against Honkai, are far more important than civilians. .

However, before this plan could be implemented, Alicia, who realized that he would push forward with the second plan no matter what, decided to kill the restrained people together with Kevin and other fusion fighters before he sent the civilians into the divine barrier. lawyer.

Knowing that Alicia is the Herrscher of Origin and the first and last hope of mankind, Zhu Yufeng must ensure Alicia's safety, so he terminated the second plan and led the fallen angel team into the battlefield as quickly as possible .

The final result was that the fallen angel team was wiped out except him.

Before rushing to the battlefield, he explained to everyone that entering the enchantment of divine grace would lead to death, but... no one retreated.

Once again, the Herrscher of Restraint is always a hurdle he must overcome, and he cannot change the tragedy of Restraint without the lives of civilians.

"This time...you must control Alicia first." Zhu Yufeng thought, "I'm sorry, Alicia, only this time, only this time I have to do this. Sorry..."

On the other side, Alicia and Mebius are still discussing future arrangements.

"Alicia, since you have special feelings for Yufeng, are you ready to face his real other side?" Mebius stared at Alicia and said.

Alicia sat up slightly. She actually noticed it somewhat in her previous life, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't find any clues. She said, "Mebius, what you want to say is resistance." Is the army clearing up the truth of the incident?"

Mebius looked at Alysia in surprise, and said after a while: "After all, you are Alysia, and it is impossible not to notice it. Let me just say it, Yufeng, he will have All the rebels who surrendered, including their families, were massacred on the spot."

Alicia's pupils shrank.

The events of the Rebels' purge occurred during the Tenth Herrscher's Incident and some time after the Tenth Herrscher's Incident ended.At that time, the Fire Chasing Moth had to face not only the Honkai, but also the Fire Chasing Moth's rebel army. Because the early work was not done well, the part of the rebel army always believed that the Fire Chasing Moth was related to the Honkai Herrscher Collusion deprived human beings of their freedom, and thus caused a lot of trouble for the Flame Chaser, especially when the Tenth Herrscher was used as a target in the Tenth Herrscher incident.

After the Ninth Herrscher incident ended, Flame Chaser officially put the suppression of the rebels on the agenda, and finally Zhu Yufeng led the fallen angel team to Africa, the base camp of the rebels, to suppress it.

The final result announced to the outside world was that Africa gave birth to multiple Doomsday-level Honkai Beasts, and the latent individual of the Tenth Herrscher launched a Honkai fission bomb in the final counterattack, which completely wiped out the rebels in Africa.

this is not the truth.

"It took Yufeng a few months from the beginning to the end of the suppression." Mebius took a sip of coffee, "This is ridiculous enough, who is the fallen angel team led by Yufeng? How can a group of lunatics who play artificial collapse take such a long time to suppress the rebels who don't even have fusion fighters?"

Alicia was silent.

"The suppression ended not long after it started." Mebius said calmly, "Yufeng activated the zero rated power of Heiyuan Baihua, and destroyed the entire Sahara region at the cost of consuming his own vitality. Destroyed 80% of the rebels. Most of the remaining rebels chose to surrender after that, but after confiscating all the supplies of the rebels, they were given Beelzebub and Esmo Diss killed them all."

"In the whole of Africa, there are hundreds of millions of human beings, and not a single one survives."

Mebius coldly spoke out the cruel facts that Alicia had never known in her previous life.

There was a long silence in the cabin.

For a long time, Mebius began to think that if Alicia's feelings for Zhu Yufeng were limited to this, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

Just when she was thinking this way, Alicia said: "I... don't know the truth of the matter. I believe that what you said, Mebius, is true, but I also believe that Feng, he absolutely There will be no senseless killings, and the Flaming Moth Council has agreed to this from the very beginning, right?"

That's more or less.

Mebius thought to himself, and then said another fact that she hadn't said before: "That's right, Yufeng asked the council how to deal with the rebels, and the council's answer was to deal with it by itself. Heh... the group Old Immortals are also afraid of getting the bad name of massacring their own clan, so they can handle it by themselves... There is no plan to take over the rebels in the Moth of the Fire Moth, let Yufeng handle it by himself..."

Alicia looked down at the floor and asked softly, "Mei, she knows too, right?"

"Of course she knew that she even voted for it when the high-level officials passed the decision to let Yufeng deal with the rebel army by herself. It's ridiculous. Civilian sacrifice." Mebius replied casually, "But since she didn't tell you, maybe Yufeng greeted her."

"Then how did you know Mebius?" Alicia raised her head and asked another question she cared about.

"Lilith told me." Mebius replied, "Yufeng resisted all the sins alone, and she was afraid that Yufeng would have some psychological problems because of it. There is no difference, but now it seems... I am afraid that he has already had a problem in his heart."

"That's right, this is Feng. He refuses to say anything. He buries everything in his heart alone, and bears the sins that don't belong to him." Alicia said softly.

Both she and Mebius knew that during the Tenth Herrscher incident, human material reserves could only be said to be barely maintained, and although the rebel army also had supplies, judging from the captured supplies brought back by Hou Yufeng Well, the supplies of the rebel army have long been stretched. If you receive a large number of rebel soldiers at this time...

Judging from the results, Zhu Yufeng's choice at that time was undoubtedly wise. At least until the end, human beings did not cause panic and riots due to famine.

However, from an emotional point of view, he is an inhuman executioner.

"I'm afraid it was the handling of this incident and the impact of the Ninth Herrscher's incident that allowed him to undo the last taboo." Mebius said, she obviously meant that in the subsequent tragedy of restraint, Zhu Yufeng agreed and even Trying to override the high-level instructions to forcefully implement Wei Wei's second plan, he has done this kind of thing for the first time, will he care about the second time?

Leave light and hope to others, and carry darkness and sin on yourself.

After a long time, Alicia stood up, and Mebius frowned and asked, "Alicia, what are you going to do?"

"Thank you for telling me all this, Mebius." Alicia turned her back to Mebius so that Mebius could not see her expression, "Thank you for making me finally make up my mind."

Mebius raised his eyebrows.

"I will confess to him, I will accept everything about him, just like I said to you at the beginning, we can start over together, start fighting again, and fight for a better future together." Elish Ya said, "Because I have realized that I love him, and I will not change because of what he has done or said. I love him not because he is the hero who bears all the sins alone, but because he It's him."

Alicia gave a wry smile, and then said softly, "It seems... I've become a little stubborn too."

After Alicia left, Mebius sat alone like a stone sculpture, and it took a long time before he said mockingly: "Heh... It's really you, Alicia, but even so... I It will not let go easily, after all, a snake will not give up its prey easily, what it is best at is waiting."

Alicia walked on the road leading to the cabin where Zhu Yufeng was. She thought a lot. She also thought that when Zhu Yufeng revealed a side she didn't know, she would alienate him or feel sorry for him. But after Mebius told her everything, she realized that she still loves him, not sympathy, but love.

She wants to carry it with him, experience it with him, and then change the established future to a better direction.

Maybe their ending won't change in any way, but they can decide how they get there.

The cabin door opened, and under Zhu Yufeng's puzzled eyes, she greeted like before: "Hi, hello, I'm the second member of Chasing Fire Yingjie, Alicia, now, let's formally meet again Come on, Feng."

Chapter 5 Long Talks, and Reminiscences

"...Now, let's officially get to know each other again, Feng."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Alicia in surprise. He didn't know why Alicia chose to confess to him, but... since she had already confessed, there was no need for him to hide it.

"Zhuhuo Yingjie is the third place, Zhu Yufeng of [God Shadow] inscription." Zhu Yufeng said, "Long time no see, Alicia... Can I think so?"

"It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time." Alicia's voice suddenly became lighter, "Then... how does it feel to meet for the first time after our rebirth?"

Zhu Yufeng showed a smile: "It's the same as when we first met."

Alicia also laughed: "I'm so happy. When you introduced yourself, you used the engraving that I thought of, acknowledging your identity as a hero... I thought..."

"I have always been proud of being Yingjie." Zhu Yufeng said calmly, "I have always been proud of being able to fight side by side with you."

Alicia was a little surprised. She looked into Zhu Yufeng's eyes and knew that the other party was not pretending. His answer came from the heart, but...if that's the case...

"Feng, can you answer a question for me?" Alicia whispered.

Zhu Yufeng hesitated for a moment, what did Alicia discover?Did she want to ask the truth about the incident of the Rebel Army's purge, or the truth about the No.12 Herrscher incident?He couldn't answer these two things because he didn't want Alicia to see his filthy side, but... he didn't want to lie to Alicia even more.

"Ask, I... will tell you everything." He said, he has decided that it doesn't matter if he is beaten up by Alicia in the future.

Alicia took a deep breath and asked very seriously: "I want to know, at that last banquet, I clearly gave you an invitation, why...you didn't come?"

Zhu Yufeng almost froze, he thought he was going to ask something, but did Alicia care about this?

"I answered this question when I asked Kevin to return the invitation to you instead of me, so Kevin should have told you." Zhu Yufeng said, "The people present came here because they believed in Alicia. The people at the seat refused to attack because they believed in Alicia."

Alicia's eyes drooped slightly, this was not the answer she wanted to know.

Seeing Alicia's expression, Zhu Yufeng had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, and he tentatively asked, "Could it be...do you really want me to go there?"

After he finished speaking, he felt that he had asked a nonsense question. The first question Alicia asked was that this already explained the situation very well. She sent the invitation because she really wanted him to attend the appointment.

So he immediately tried to save him: "Sorry, I'm confused. The answer you want is not this, right? I didn't go, the most important reason should be..."

He paused, then recalled the situation at that time and said: "At that time, I felt that you didn't trust me."

"I..." Alicia opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer. Zhu Yufeng's answer caught her by surprise.

But Zhu Yufeng continued as if he had opened up the conversation: "After receiving that invitation, I went to check with the other Yingjies, but they didn't receive it. The original purpose of your becoming a Herrscher should be to let us have the rest of us." Are you united as one? I know that you are a girl who is afraid of loneliness, so you are afraid that after you become a Herrscher, you will make us angry, and the relationship between you and us will become alienated. But you are wrong, we have always been I believe in Alicia. In my eyes, the story of Fourteen Yingjie is a story that exists because of you. You did not send invitations to other people because you were also afraid of being hated and wanted to choose The right is left to them. But you only sent me an invitation letter, asking me to attack you as a Herrscher... Alicia, do you know how chilling I was at that time? I was thinking , I have done so much and fought for so long for human beings, but you think I will attack you because you are a Herrscher..."

What Zhu Yufeng said was the truth. He was originally going to attend the final banquet. He wanted to witness the end of Alicia, the most beautiful and brilliant flawless person in this era... But, after receiving that letter When the invitation came, the words on it pierced his heart like a sharp arrow.

"I'm not trusted by her," he thought so sadly at the time.

After calming down a bit, Zhu Yufeng continued: "Of course, this is only the main reason, and there are other external factors, such as [Project Ascension to God] has reached the final stage..."

Alicia interrupted what he was about to say. She lowered her head so that people couldn't see her expression clearly, and her voice was a little trembling: "Then why...you refused to see me after the tragedy of restraint? No matter what I tried, you refused to see me... I finally saw you once, but you were lying on the operating table dying, and I could only stand outside and watch you, unable to do anything... I always thought , you are hating me because of Lilith!"

When it came to the end, Alicia's voice was already a little crying, Zhu Yufeng seemed to be hit hard on the chest with a hammer, did she think so?

There was indeed Lilith's reason why he didn't see Alicia, but it was definitely not because he hated Alicia, but...he didn't know how he should face Alicia.

In the previous life, Lilith was the only girl who confessed to him. Even if he refused, she always stayed by his side. She trusted him unconditionally until the end, but he had no way to protect her.His guilt towards Lilith and more inexplicable emotions made him unable to let go of her passing, and before Lilith walked towards her end, she once said that she envied Alicia for letting him Such admiration, and it was precisely this sentence that became the biggest gap between him and Alicia.

Plus... that was the first time he showed his dark side in front of Alicia, but he had to do it because he wanted to protect his team members.

In Alicia's eyes, he must be ugly like that.

Even so, when he knew that he was awarded the [Shenying] inscription by Alicia and became Yingjie... he was really happy...

All in all, he felt that Alicia would definitely not like himself like this, and because of Lilith, he felt that he really liked Lilith a little bit. He didn't know how to face Alicia, so He chose to be a coward to avoid the problem, and he simply disappeared.

"I... never hated you..." Zhu Yufeng said bitterly. He didn't know that Alicia would have such thoughts. He has always regarded her as a character in the game. At first, it should be It was his self-consolation after the confession failed, and then evolved into self-hypnosis, hypnotizing himself that Alicia would not fall in love with any single individual, so as to avoid the problems he should face.

Both fell silent.

After a while, Alicia calmed down and said: "I was surprised when you confessed to me first, because you were the first boy to confess to me. I chose to refuse because I felt I don't know you well enough... I thought it would be long enough for me to get to know you, and then give a serious reply, but, shortly after that, you left my team, and our communication became less, but I always They are all watching you, watching you become a hero step by step..." What she received was the pure heart of the young man, and she didn't want to live up to this heart, so she wanted to understand and reply seriously.

I am not a hero.Zhu Yufeng thought to himself.

"Then, I saw Lilith's confession to you, she was dressed so beautifully at that time..." Alicia continued softly, "I don't know why, I don't want to see what happened next , and left there as if escaping."

Zhu Yufeng also remembered the situation at that time. Lilith asked him out and said that she had something very important to tell him. He saw Lilith dressed up under the moonlight. She confessed to him, but he chose to refuse after thinking for a long time. .
