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

Chapter 10 No.13 Herrscher

"Very good, if you have any symptoms in the future, you must tell me immediately." Mebius said while connecting the device to Zhu Yufeng.

"I understand, doctor." Zhu Yufeng expressed his understanding.

Today was the day for a comprehensive physical examination. After the examination results came out, his daily schedule probably turned into training—going to the laboratory—and resting.

After all, he had signed a relevant contract with Mebius.

Speaking of which, there is one thing Zhu Yufeng has always cared about, that is, is it true that he and Alicia are the only ones reborn?On the way to the laboratory, he asked Klein insinuatingly. Klein said that Mebius had been slacking off a lot in experiments recently, and that Mebius in his impression was not only a scientific madman, but at least a scientific madman. .

Slack?Is it really possible?

He more or less fought against Honkai all the way in the last life, and he still has the most basic logical thinking ability. Lilith is his think tank, but he doesn't think of Lilith as an external brain.

But Kevin seems to be really doing whatever May asks him to do?

Lying in the middle of a pile of experimental instruments, Zhu Yufeng closed her eyes, thinking about why the reborn Mebius was unwilling to tell him the news of his rebirth. With Mebius' IQ, she should know that she was also reborn, right? ?

On the other side, Mebius stared wide-eyed at the data appearing line by line on the screen, and she couldn't help saying: "How is this possible?!"

Zhu Yufeng opened his eyes: "What's wrong, Doctor?"

"Cough! It's okay... Your...Honkai resistance is currently one of the highest among the Flaming Moth fighters. It seems that it was right to bring you back." Mebius still stared at the data.

"Is that so..." Zhu Yufeng was thoughtful, one of the tallest?He knew very well that Alicia was the one with the highest resistance to Houkai, because she was born with a Herrscher. In his own words... Although his resistance to Houkai is considered high, he would never fight against Alicia. Entering the same level counts as "one", right?With the way Mebius spoke in the past, it should be something like "second only to the tallest Alicia", and Mebius was really shocked...

Could it be... He thought of a possibility.

And the same idea also appeared in Mebius's mind. She stared at Zhu Yufeng's data. On the screen, Zhu Yufeng's Houkai resistance was almost exactly the same as Alicia's, which was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. If Not counting Kevin's words.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't shock her. What shocked her was that this data was completely different from the data in her previous life.

In the last life, in order to fight against the Seventh Herrscher, she and Mei jointly carried out the Fusion Warrior Project. Kevin, as the fighter with the highest resistance to Houkai, voluntarily participated in the experiment. Zhu Yufeng, who did not know where he got the news, also volunteered to participate in the experiment .

The Honkai Beast fused by Kevin is Pavanti, while the Honkai Beast fused by Zhu Yufeng is Agni.

The side effect of Kevin's fusion of Pavanti is the perennial ultra-low body temperature, and the side effect of Agni's fusion of Zhu Yufeng is the pain of burning the body all the time.

But there is another strange thing, that is, Zhu Yufeng's resistance to Houkai has also been improved to a certain extent, which also paved the way for him to implement the Chimera plan in the future.

Back to the topic, as far as Zhu Yufeng's outrageous Honkai resistance is concerned, Mebius thought of Zhu Yufeng who became the Herrscher during the final battle.

It was not the choice of Houkai, but the Herrscher who became by human will. He still retained a certain degree of humanity, but in the end, none of them knew what the power of the Herrscher was.

Now that I think about it, is his power related to timing?But even so, why didn't he know about it?In other words, this power can only be activated after his sacrifice?

Mebius did not dare to jump to conclusions, and immediately called Alicia over for a physical examination after finishing all the examinations, while Zhu Yufeng went to training according to the original schedule.

"Mebius, why do you want to examine me suddenly? You should know my data, right?" Alicia asked curiously while lying in the middle of the instrument, "Is there something wrong with Feng's physical examination?" ?”

"A big problem." Mebius lowered his head and operated the machine, "I suspect that he has become a born Herrscher just like you."

"!

Alicia's eyes widened. She heard about Feng becoming a Herrscher from Wei Wei, but Mebius said that Feng is still a Herrscher now?

"However, there is one thing that can be assured. I haven't detected any traces of the Herrscher's core in his body. In other words, he is now like a human being with a Herrscher's body but without a Herrscher's core." Mebius completed the comparison between Alicia's data and Zhu Yufeng's data. Sure enough, as she thought, except that there is no Herrscher core, the other data are almost completely consistent with Alicia, a natural Herrscher.

Alicia sat up from a pile of instruments, walked to Mebius, looked at the rows of data and said, "Weilwei told me one thing, Feng became the Herrscher and the final During World War I, time and space were briefly distorted, perhaps, his power is really time." What about her power?What is her power?

Mebius was silent for a while, and she began to recall the tragic battle. In the end, the only one who could intervene among them was Kevin.

Distorted spacetime...is that time?

"Alicia, you succeeded." Mebius said.

"Ok?"

Mebius said angrily: "You guessed your power correctly. He is the first Herrscher born after you released your power to fight for mankind, the real No.13 Herrscher."

Alicia's pupils shrank.

"Although this conclusion is a bit unbelievable, I think this should be the only reasonable conclusion at present. He liberated all his powers without his knowledge, allowing us to be reborn. Now he, even more One way of saying the image should be that he is a Herrscher who has not yet awakened." Mebius said.

Alicia's body trembled slightly, and she took several deep breaths to calm herself down. She then asked, "So, Feng, as the real No.13 Herrscher, his awakening will have to wait until ten Will the two Herrschers wake up after they all descend?"

"In theory." Mebius replied, "Alicia, where are you going?"

The only answer to her was the sound of the laboratory door closing.

Mebius was silent for a while, dropped the things in her hands and rushed out, she told Alicia that she was not asked to sprint!

Mebius, who had not been exercising for a long time, caught up with Alicia panting, and saw Alicia standing at the door of the training room as if petrified. She came to the door strangely, saw the scene inside, and also Instant petrification.

In the training room, Zhu Yufeng forced Ying into a corner, and pressed one hand against the wall. Ying under her was blushing and lowered her head, looking weak and helpless.

What the hell happened? !

Back in time, after Zhu Yufeng left the laboratory and came to the training room, Sakura was already standing there waiting for him to start today's training.

Compared with training, he now has a question that must be answered. On the one hand, he has a conjecture that needs to be proved by the answer. On the other hand... If the conjecture is correct, he needs to confirm Wei Wei's mental state.

Originally, I wanted to ask Alicia, but Alicia was called by Mebius for a medical examination, so can he wait a while?However, he met Weiwei on the way to the training room, and Weiwei's eyes became terrified for a moment... That kind of feeling was not predation, but a feeling that he was going to be locked in a small dark room .

Without further ado!Anyway, Sakura is also an honest child, so ask her the same!

So the first thing he said when he saw Sakura was: "Sakura, can you answer me seriously, you and Mebius are all reborn, right?"

Sakura's hand on the handle of the knife froze, but only Hua, who was more honest than her, still wanted to hide it from Zhu Yufeng. Because she was an assassin, she had received good training, and she could tell lies without changing her face: "What about rebirth?" ? Dr. Mebius and I haven’t known each other for long, Feng, what are you... talking about?”

In the Paradise of the Past, Sakura was able to hide from other Yingjie that she had known the truth for tens of thousands of years, which shows that her disguise is almost flawless.

almost.

"Really?" Zhu Yufeng didn't believe it. He knew that Sakura's ability to disguise was very strong. If Sakura didn't want to tell the truth, it would be very difficult for him... I remember Lilith said that eyes can't deceive people. If so, then it must be It's not close enough.

"Then look into my eyes, you really don't know anything?" Zhu Yufeng stared into Sakura's eyes and said.

Sakura also received the training of staring into other people's eyes and telling false information, so she also looked at Zhu Yufeng.

Zhu Yufeng narrowed his eyes, it seemed that he was still not close enough...

He took another step forward, and Sakura took a step back subconsciously, until she was forced to the edge of the wall, and the distance between the two became closer...

For some reason, Sakura suddenly didn't dare to look into Zhu Yufeng's eyes, and her cheeks became hot for no reason, she lowered her head involuntarily.

Then...the sound of the training room door opening.

Chapter 11 The story that exists because of you

"The cause and process of the matter is like this, so, I have finished explaining, do you have anything to explain to me?" Zhu Yufeng looked at Alicia and Mebius and said.

He stood up a little bit, he didn't have a guilty conscience, he didn't have a guilty conscience if he didn't do something wrong, absolutely not.

Mebius opened his mouth slightly, what's going on, it should be Yufeng who is wronged, why is she guilty?Glancing at the narrator who was covering her face like a little girl, Sakura knew that she probably couldn't count on her.

She had no choice but to say: "It's not that we want to hide it from you, but... Yufeng, since you now know that almost all Fourteen Yingjie may have been reborn, then, tell me, what do you think?"

"Since everyone is reborn, shouldn't we think of a way together to fight against Honkai so as not to repeat the mistakes of the previous life?" Zhu Yufeng wondered, "We are almost equivalent to the prophets of this era now. When will it happen, isn’t it natural to find ways to prevent or reduce losses?”

Mebius looked at Zhu Yufeng: "Yufeng, do you really think so? Even if we now know the fate of the future, how can we change it?"

Zhu Yufeng was silent, how should I put it, anyway, he felt that no matter what he did in this era, it would be hopeless, but he still wanted to give it a try.

This era may not be worth it, but Alicia is worth it, and those comrades who once chased the fire with him are worth it.

He has fought as a "prophet" once, and he also knows how difficult it is to change fate.Sometimes, there are some things that cannot be changed or avoided if they are known.

For example, the third big collapse that will happen next, they all know that Changkong City will be the center of the outbreak, but how to convince the high-level, and how to arrange the evacuation of the people?What if the third big collapse does not happen in Changkong City because of the evacuation of the people?

So...he concluded that they had no choice but to wait for it to erupt in Changkong City.

"Or, just like Mei's stigmata project, linking everyone's dreams into one..."

"I will never allow that to happen. Even if the stigmata plan is the plan with the highest success rate, I will not allow it to be implemented!" Zhu Yufeng said firmly, "Civilization should be defined by human beings, not civilization. to define humanity."

He knew about the stigmata project, and he couldn't accept the redefinition of civilization by the stigmata project anyway.

Everyone stays in their own dreams and lives the life they want in their dreams. What is the difference between that and death?What they talk to, what they live, is delusional.

In Zhu Yufeng's eyes, the Stigmata Project is like Qijiela's pollen. If Mebius decides to advance the Stigmata Project this time, then he will definitely stand on the opposite side of Mebius.

If the Stigmata Project is a comprehensive selection of human beings on the surface, he has no objection. Survival of the fittest is an unchanging law of nature, and to "evolve" human beings into that kind of integrated consciousness... Sorry, he really can't admit that thing is human evolution.

He would rather fight to the death, but also die in the form of a human being, as a human being.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Mebius stared at Zhu Yufeng and asked.

Zhu Yufeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The Chimera Project..."

"No!" This time it was Mebius' turn to deny categorically, "Do you want to be like the last life again? Like the last life, let us watch you go to save the world alone, but we can't do anything... Countless sleepless days and nights, do you want to experience it again?"

"That's a necessary trade-off..."

"That's not a necessary trade-off at all!" Mebius said sharply, "Zhu Yufeng, do you think that this world can't do anything without you? Does this world perish without you? Don't be so self-righteous Already!"

Zhu Yufeng pursed her lips and did not answer.

Indeed, it's almost the same with him or without him. Anyway, he didn't win the final battle, so he could only wait for the next era in the dormancy of all things.

What Alicia wanted to say, Mebius glared at her, now is not the time for her to speak, since the showdown is over, Zhu Yufeng should be hit like this, otherwise...or else I can only look at him...

She didn't want to experience that feeling for the second time.

Fuck him to save the world, she only wants to save the boy in front of her now!

But what surprised her was that Sakura actually spoke: "The world...it is true that there can be no maple, but I only know that I can't live without him. In the last life, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had the chance to understand Ling, or even I would have the opportunity to be a competent sister... If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even have the chance to say goodbye to Ling... For the world, maybe with him or without him, the difference is that more people die, more people die War is more troublesome, but for me, without him... I can't imagine what kind of hopeless future I will have..."

Mebius: "..."

Are you hitting him or confessing to him?

Alicia: "..."

This... isn't this the case?No, she has to think a few words, otherwise her Feng will be snatched away.

Zhu Yufeng bowed his head in silence for a long time, then looked up at Mebius and said, "You are right, doctor. This world is the same with or without me. I have no way to save it, and it... Qualified to let me save."

"Then what are you..."

"Because... I am ashamed to say that this world is not worth it, but you are worth it, all of you are worth it for me to do this." Zhu Yufeng looked up at the ceiling, as if staring at the starry sky above.

"They have lived so proudly, consistently."

"Visitors, please continue to move on as witnesses of the thirteen heroes! Follow the footprints under your feet to witness this journey of chasing fire, and finally, cross the final tombs of the dead to create what we have not yet met. ... the future!"

After so many years, he has never forgotten the touch and regret at that time... Maybe this is his self-righteousness, so self-righteous that he thinks he is qualified to save the thirteen fire chasers...

Before crossing over, as the individual "Zhu Yufeng", he may have been just a member of the general public throughout his life, but one of the countless players who were moved by the story of the thirteen fire chasers, but now... since he came to When we come to this world, shouldn't we leave our own traces?

He has no relatives and no reason, and all he has is the story of the thirteen fire chasers.

Of course he can choose to live, but what's the point?Live to the next era, once again looking at the stories in the paradise of the past, powerless?

"I'm sorry, but I also have a secret, a... a secret that may never be known to you. Because compared to you, that secret is insignificant." Zhu Yufeng smiled, "But there is only one thing I can tell you clearly , I will not give up fighting against the collapse, and I will not give up fighting against fate. Even if everything I do is meaningless in your eyes."

He picked up the long gun for training: "I have already witnessed what despair is, and I have faced and even known this cruel fate. I can't guarantee that what I do will be successful, but at least I have fought for it .I may still get nothing, but at least I will leave traces of my presence."

"you!"

Mebius glared at Zhu Yufeng, clenched his hands into fists, his nails dug into his flesh, why...why did he say that, he is still like this...not for the world, but for us...Rain Feng, Yufeng, do you know that the more you put everything on your back like this, the more it hurts me, and the more it makes me unable to face the future you will face.

Zhu Yufeng looked at Mebius calmly, this was his realization, just... the self-righteous realization of a self-righteous guy.

At this time, Alicia said: "Then, at least during this journey, let us go with you, let us go through this story with you."

She walked up to Zhu Yufeng, stretched out her arms and hugged him: "You have not gained nothing, you will always be my favorite, the person I love the most, so... this time, please let me be by your side to witness your love story, to go through your struggles...and no one will be able to laugh at you even if you don't change anything in the end."

"... Whatever you want!" Mebius turned around so that no one could see her expression.

Sakura didn't speak, or maybe her hand on the handle of the knife was her answer.

In the unfinished spiral workshop, Wei Wei put down the wiretapping device and leaned on the chair.

"So, I have always been nothing but a fool, I can't even save a person..."

Chapter 12 Scars: Is This What I Can See?

Although there have been some episodes, many things are always easier to clarify.

"So, this is my guess. Your ability to become a Herrscher is probably related to the concept of time, which is irreversible in common sense." Mebius finished his speculation briefly, and looked at Alicia with blank eyes, " So, Alicia, how long are you going to hold Yufeng in your arms?"

"Hmm..." Alicia, who was holding Zhu Yufeng's hand, thought seriously for a while, "But I don't want to let go~ After all, Feng is the first Herrscher born after I liberated my power to fight for human beings. ~"
