Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

The lost nun, the repentant girl, and the dead witch, recalling the appearance of the three of them, Luo Chen walked unconsciously into Qianyu Academy.

Just like the scene when he left, the corpses that have turned into bones, the rotten vines, the broken doors and windows, the potholes smashed by Judas in front of the teaching building, and the flowers growing on the land where Yuno died...

Wait a minute...flowers?

A bright red color appeared in Luo Chen's field of vision and took away his sight. He walked quickly to the side of this flower, bent down, and observed it carefully.

This is not an ordinary flower, rather, it used to be a flower.

For some unknown reason, the surface of this flower has long been covered with a thin layer of crystals, and it is precisely because of the protection of this layer of crystals that this extremely short-lived flower can survive It has been preserved for such a long time in this wind and sun environment.

"Is this... the flower that grew out of the Houkai energy left in her body after Yuno died?"

The fiery red petals are even more eye-catching under the emerald green branches and leaves, and the covered crystals reflect the sunlight, making this flower bloom with a different kind of brilliance, as if begging others to pick it off.

I stroked its crystal-wrapped rhizome with my fingers and then pressed it lightly. With the sound of the crystal breaking, this indescribably beautiful flower finally left its birthplace.

Luo Chen carefully held the flowers in his hands. For some reason, the flowers that were supposed to be dead were trembling slightly in his hands at this moment. His actions seemed to wake up the flowers that resided in the flowers. soul.

Carefully holding the flower in his hand, after considering that it was grown by relying on Yuno's Houkai energy, Luo Chen began to think about how he should deal with this beautiful flower.

"Maybe... I should find a box and bury it..."

After thinking for a long time, Luo Chen finally made such a decision. After all, he had no reason to accept this flower. Maybe letting it accompany its owner to sleep here forever is the best destination.

"If there is no Houkai, maybe she should still be sitting in Qianyu Academy, living her peaceful and monotonous campus life...Huh?"

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed before Luo Chen's eyes. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the serval that was lying on him before was standing in front of him now, and the other's mouth In the middle, he was biting the flower.

Then, under Luo Chen's gaze, the serval cat ate the flower, and after it was done, it stuck out its tongue and licked its own lips. The cat ear decoration on its head seemed to be happy, And shook slightly a few times.

After doing all this, the serval cat quickly came to Luo Chen's side with nimble steps, and then, under Luo Chen's somewhat puzzled gaze, stretched out its paws, and hugged his arm.

"what???"

After hearing his exclamation, the serval that hugged his arm just blinked its dark red eyes, as if responding to him.

------

At night, in a relatively well-preserved apartment, candlelight is flickering at the moment. If an outsider passes by here now, they will doubt whether their eyes are hallucinating.

As we all know, there is always a life-and-death relationship between the dead and human beings, but this common sense, which should be known to everyone, was quietly broken in this room.

A young man was sitting on the sofa, with lit candles on the coffee table in the living room, and a girl wearing a black hood was sitting in his arms. If you ignore the girl's pair of hideous eyes For the claws, perhaps such a scene should look quite harmonious.

"Could it be that... the dead men in Changkong City, before I knew it, all went crazy..."

He looked down at the serval cat sitting in his arms, and it seemed to have noticed Luo Chen's gaze, then turned his head and stared at him with his dark red eyes.

Looking at the dark red eyes of the serval cat, Luo Chen could only look away helplessly. Originally, after the serval cat ate the flower, he already felt incredible, but this serval cat would His actions made him even more confused.

This serval cat seemed to be dependent on him, no matter what method he used, he couldn't help the serval cat get rid of it, just like its name, it became a very clingy cat.

"Oh...forget it, you don't attack me anyway, you just follow me until I leave Changkong City..."

Perhaps it was because Luo Chen had never fought a dead man before, looking at this sly cat with no offensive meaning, he couldn't think of any way to kill it...

"What a hassle..."

After complaining softly, Luo Chen looked at the pair of decorative cat ears on the hood of the serval cat, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

I don't know how this pair of cat ears will feel to the touch...

Looking at the pair of cat ears, recalling the touch of Yae Sakura's ears in the dream, he carefully stretched out his hand, and then stroked the ears on the serval cat's hood.

"Is it normal...just cloth..."

Feeling the feeling of the fabric in his hands, it seemed that the pair of cat ears were just a normal decoration, but all this made Luo Chen doubtful.

Because not long ago, he saw with his own eyes the pair of cat ears made of cloth shaking non-stop under the control of the serval cat. Logically speaking, this must not be an ordinary decoration, so what is the reason behind it? what?

"Could it be that she can control this dress with Honkai... Wait a minute! Don't lick my face!"

Just when Luo Chen was thinking, the serval cat in his arms seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Luo Chen's act of stroking his ear. It shook its head and shook Luo Chen's hand on its hood, then turned away body, as if to get revenge on him, and started licking his face.

"Stop! Stop licking! I was wrong! Stop it!"

"Ah! The disguise is about to be licked off by you!"

It wasn't until this moment that Luo Chen realized that perhaps he should have tried to get rid of this sly cat instead of bringing it with him...

Chapter 8 Time...is running out...

Rarely, Luo Chen suffered from insomnia.

He has lived alone for many years, and he has learned to enjoy the loneliness brought by being alone in the passage of time. Even after coming to this world, he still has not been able to change this habit, let alone now, he It is still a person living alone, there is no essential difference at all.

But now, he encountered something that he had never encountered in his more than ten years of living alone, something that was enough to make him restless.

The serval cat that followed him here is now squeezed into the double sofa with him, and the serval cat pressed its body tightly against his body, closed its eyes and fell asleep, like a cat It's like a domestic cat longing for heat, and the heat in its eyes is Luo Chen who is squeezed on this sofa with it.

Feeling the chill coming from the serval cat's body, Luo Chen finally gave up the idea of ​​sleeping. No matter what, he couldn't let himself fall asleep at this level, let alone this serval cat, which was so cute.

Unable to fall asleep, Luo Chen could only stare intently at the few lit candles on the coffee table, other than that, he had nothing to do.

The flame of the candle was constantly beating, and the wax oil burned by the candle gradually dripped on the tea table, and gradually solidified into wax stains. The time that should have been fleeting in the first place became so long at this moment.

He raised his head and looked out the window. It has been two or three months since the third collapse. The power supply system of Changkong City has been destroyed by the passage of time, and the entire city is completely shrouded in darkness. , the only light source that can be seen is the pink-purple light emitted by those Houkai beasts.

These lights flickering in the darkness are like ghosts that lure the lost. When people start to search for the truth of these lights, the only ending left for them is death.

"Human beings are such a strange creature...It's just sad that so many innocent people have to be buried with them because of their own greed..."

Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Chen, who fully knew the inside story of the third Honkai, couldn't help but feel a little sad.

A few months ago, Cocolia caused an artificial collapse in Changkong City, and her purpose was to use artificial methods to create the Third Herrscher. After sacrificing the lives of millions of people, she It was indeed a success, successfully creating a lawyer...

"The fundamental reason why human beings will perish is to control those powers that they have no ability to obtain... Obviously there are so many precedents, but there will still be people who commit the same crime again and again. Same mistake..."

Whether it's Cocolia from Anti-Entropy or Otto from Destiny, both of them have the same idea without exception.These two people want to master the power of the gods, and then use this power to fight against the gods.

Ridiculous...isn't it?

Perhaps the final outcome of this era will repeat the mistakes of the previous era without exception. After all, two years later, the Second Herrscher named Sirin will descend on this land again and begin to clean up the world.

Maybe the end of the world is not a good result?At least everyone died together, so that each other would not feel the sadness of life and death parting... Maybe this is the best ending that this crumbling world can usher in...

"What will this world...be like in the end..."

Although flustered, there is nothing he can do. Perhaps his current state is the essence of human beings.

"Forget it... the me now is not of any use at all. Whether the world is destroyed or the world is saved, I just need to live until then with peace of mind."

Since he couldn't resist, he might as well enjoy it quietly. With this in mind, Luo Chen leaned against the body of the serval cat, closed his eyes, and tried to let himself fall asleep.

"Oh...why is Serval's body so cold..."

Maybe tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

"...!"

The scene in the dream was staged in front of Teresa like a well-planned drama. The bloody but real, impactful picture woke Theresa up from a deep sleep, making her nervous.

There was a sudden sense of oppression in her chest, and Teresa covered her heart with her hands, and she began to breathe frequently. She wanted her heart to beat so that she could relieve the unbearable oppression in her chest.

Teresa curled up her body, and with constant ventilation, her heart rate gradually became normal. As the blood was supplied to the whole body by the heart, the oppressive feeling that appeared in her chest before and the passing They disappeared together without a trace at the same time, and this series of actions also made Teresa's forehead ooze with sweat.

Some of these sweats were produced by the previous frequent ventilation, while others were produced by seeing the scene in the dream when Teresa was asleep.

"I'm dreaming again...it's that dream again..."

Pushing her sweat-wet hair behind her ears, Teresa sat up from the bed, and the scenes in her previous dream are still vivid in her mind.

This was the second time Teresa had this dream. It was still the same character, the same place, the dilapidated village, the dead people, and the Valkyrie who was fighting the witch.

But for some reason, whenever Teresa remembered the expression on that Valkyrie's face when she pierced the spear through the witch's chest, she could always read the sadness in the Valkyrie's heart, and this sadness would make Teresa also fell into an inexplicable sadness.

There is no reason for sadness, and there is no object of sadness. Teresa just thinks of the sad expression of the Valkyrie, and she will feel uncontrollably sad, which also makes Teresa affirm a fact.

Even if the Valkyrie who appeared in his dream was not his mother, he must have a very important relationship with him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he felt sad because of the other party's sadness.

Teresa couldn't forget that kind of empathy.

After dawn, go and check the information in the destiny database by yourself. I hope there can be some useful information stored there.

After making up her mind, Teresa lay down again, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes again.

Then she dreamed something completely different from the previous two dreams.

--------

The overwhelming rain extinguished the burning flames on the ground, washed away the blood, washed away the sins stained on the ground, and washed away the tears on the nun's face.

She knelt beside the witch in the face of the heavy rain, blocking the rain from the sky for the sleeping witch, but even so, the witch's long pink hair still could not escape the favor of the rain, and the rain mixed with blood wet the long hair. Hair, let them get tangled together, no longer the softness of the past.

A golden spear pierced the witch's chest, and the blood stained on the spear had already been washed away by the rain, without leaving any traces.

The nun, who was kneeling beside the witch, pulled out the golden spear that had pierced the witch's chest and threw it fiercely into the distance, and the wound on the witch's chest, because it lost its resistance, began to spray scorching heat again. of blood.

Looking at the sleeping witch, the nun hugged her into her arms, letting the blood on the other's chest stain her clothes red.

Carefully wiping off the raindrops on the maiden's face with her hand, looking at the eyes of the other party who would never open, the nun forcefully kissed the other party's lips that had already lost their blood color.

The goodbye kiss between the two lasted for a long time in the heavy rain, and it was barely stopped until the nun was a little out of breath.

And between the two, this beautiful and sad intersection, after the nun's lips left the witch's lips, was completely cut off by fate, and they could never be connected together...

---------

"..."

Opening her eyes for the second time, Teresa sat up from the bed again, and then looked at the electronic clock on her bedside table.

45:[-]...

Less than an hour had passed since she woke up from the dream last time, and Teresa, who had experienced the dream again, had completely lost sleepiness.

Sitting on the bed, she recalled the very different dream before, and this time, she felt a deeper sadness than the previous two.

That kind of sadness is like the death of one's most cherished person in front of one's own eyes.

At this point, Teresa has completely lost the idea of ​​sleeping. She is eager to know about the Valkyrie. If it is daytime, maybe she will immediately stop what she is doing, and then enter the destiny database. Then try every means to find information about the Valkyrie.

Unfortunately, the current time is at night...
