Life in the collapsed world from scratch

It is this longing for the future that gives the girl the motivation to move forward and makes her feel that no matter how hard or tiring she is, she can persevere.

However, the good times didn't last long, and just when everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, "they" came to the town.

……

tread--

The solid touch from under his feet made Cheng Xi truly realize that he is now standing on the top of the tallest tower in the Babylon laboratory.

It's a bit funny to say, just a few hours ago, he was thinking that the farther away from here the better.

All I can say is that things are unpredictable.

Cheng Xi sighed. He knew that since he made that choice, the peaceful life he was looking forward to was not for him, but he didn't regret it.It would be a pity if nothing can be changed after traveling through time, after all, the trip can't be done in vain, right?

Before the action began, he had seriously considered one thing.If he planned to save Cecilia, what would Sirin do?

On one side is the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, and on the other is the Herrscher who represents Honkai. The two are naturally at opposite sides.If you choose to help one of them, you are doomed to become an enemy with the other.

With his current strength, he has already tried his best to save one person. Is he really capable of thinking about more?

This question, the moment he stood on the top of the Tower of Babylon, he had the answer in his mind.

"It seems that we have to adjust the next plan a little bit."

Cheng Xi lowered her head and clenched her left hand slightly.He has made his decision, he wants it all!

But before that, he still needs to confirm one thing.

"call……"

Cheng Xi took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to the girl not far away who was looking at him in astonishment.

From my point of view, this should be the second meeting between the two, right?

He thought to himself, a little tangled in his heart.

We meet again after a long absence, what should we say?

"have you eaten?"

It seems that this is not popular in foreign countries, right?

"The weather is fine today, and the evening wind is a bit noisy."

If such words are spoken, the atmosphere will be so embarrassing that it will explode, right?

After thinking about it, Cheng Xi couldn't come up with a good plan, but the scene couldn't just freeze here.So after thinking for a while, he raised his hand and greeted the girl:

"Long time no see, sirin.".

Chapter 14 Cheng Xi: Procrastinate, just procrastinate

The moment she saw the person coming, Sirin's body couldn't help trembling slightly.She never thought that the two would meet again in this kind of place.

"Xiao Xi..."

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask "Are you okay?", but when she spoke, a strange emotion came to her heart, forcing her to change her words:

"Are you here to stop me too?"

Cheng Xi didn't care about the girl's blunt tone at all, and his focus was entirely on that strange title:

"Xiao Xi?"

Who is this?Do you know anyone with that name?

"Forget it." He shook his head, turned his gaze back to the girl, and asked back, "Do you want me to stop you?"

He threw the question back to Sirin.

"of course……"

When the words came to her lips, Sirin suddenly froze, and fell into a moment of confusion.

Does she want someone to stand up and stop herself?

For the first time since becoming a Herrscher, the girl began to think seriously about this issue.

Logically speaking, she should answer "No" without hesitation.However, there seemed to be a faint voice deep in her heart telling her not to continue.

"Let me change the question, Sirin, do you know what 1000 million is?"

The sudden change of the topic made Xi Lin stunned. She didn't know what Cheng Xi meant by asking this question that was completely irrelevant to the current situation.

"You don't seem to be very clear... Also, after all, people are such creatures, and they can't have an intuitive feeling for numbers that are so huge that they far exceed life experience."

Cheng Xi shook his head, and continued on his own: "Let me give you an analogy... Let's use bread as an example. For bread of this order of magnitude, assuming I eat five meals a day, three meals a day, it will take more than 800 years to finish it." , this time span is almost one-third of the history of human civilization."

"And if they are stacked one by one, they will be taller than ten Mount Everests. How about it, is it spectacular?"

Cheng Xi stared at the girl and said seriously: "Now do you understand? This is not at the same order of magnitude as the things you come into contact with every day."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Sirin frowned. The boy's words made her feel a little uncomfortable for no reason, and she felt irritated for a while.

She felt that the quiet Xiaoxi from before was more likable.

"If you replace this number with human beings, it's not a problem to pile up another Babylonian laboratory, but the number of people who died in your hands is several times this number, then it's a real 'tower' that reaches the sky."

As Cheng Xi said, he took a step forward and walked slowly towards the girl.

Although there is a saying that "the death of one person is a tragedy, and the death of many people becomes a number", but when the death exceeds a certain limit, even a single number is shocking enough.

In the past, when I was writing online movies and novels, some people liked to say things like "I don't care about other people's life and death".At first, Cheng Xi thought he was handsome, and it made sense.But when I saw more later, I felt that it was very unreasonable.

In its reality, the essence of man is the sum of all social relations.

No one is an island.

Is it Lu Xun or Gorky who said this?Cheng Xi couldn't remember clearly, but he remembered the content of this poem clearly:

No one is an island.

Everyone is like a small piece of soil, connected to form the whole land;

Whoever dies, a part of me is dying because I am included in the concept of being human.

So ask not for whom the bell tolls,

The knell is tolling for you.

Cheng Xi raised a finger, looked at Sirin and asked, "I just want to confirm with you—do you really know what you have done?"

"Of course I know that, and that's what I want to see. They've done it all for themselves!" Sirin gritted her teeth, her golden eyes filled with uncontrollable anger: "Those experiments they did, those engraved on their bodies pain, you know!?"

"Bella, Aurora, Agata... all died at their hands, thrown away like garbage, without even an apology..."

"Am I wrong? I just want them to pay, and they have to!"

Cheng Xi was silent, and Sirin used "they" to refer to human beings.Obviously, she no longer regards herself as a member of the human race.

As for whether she did something wrong... Isn't it obvious?

Cheng Xi sympathizes with the girl's experience, and hates those fate researchers and the self who didn't know anything back then, but this is not a reason for her to blame tens of millions of innocent people.

It seems that although the Honkai consciousness was cut off by Fu Hua's Taixu Sword, the profound influence left behind still exists and is difficult to reverse.

Cheng Xi sighed with regret.

But it is impossible for a normal human being to agree with this kind of thinking, and that kind sirin will not... From then on, Cheng Xi can be sure that the girl sirin is dead, and standing in front of him is the mortal enemy of civilization - the second law By.

"But don't worry." He raised his head, with the girl's figure reflected in his eyes, and whispered in his heart, "I will save you!"

"..."

"Is that so..." Seeing the silent boy in front of her, Sirin seemed to understand something, feeling an inexplicable discomfort in her heart:

"You really came to stop me."

Originally, she thought that if it was Xiaoxi, she would definitely understand her.Now it seems that he still chooses to stand on the human side.

She took a deep breath and slowly raised her hand.The Houkai can surround the core and begin to construct the power that belongs to the Herrscher of Space.

Rather than watching him "betray" himself like this, it would be better...

"No." Unexpectedly, Cheng Xi shook her head and said slowly, "Actually, I'm here to stall for time."

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Xilin's heart. The inexplicable sense of crisis prompted her to open a teleportation port, and wanted to lock Cheng Xi into the infinite corridor first.

"Theresa!"

Seeing that the dark purple teleportation gap was about to engulf him, Cheng Xi raised his head and shouted towards the sky.

"Heaven!?"

Sirin raised her head hastily, and a golden streamer flashed like a shooting star in her sight, and landed hard on the top of the Tower of Babylon!

"Oath of Judas, zeroth power rating!"

A childish voice came, and thirteen holy spears shot out from the extended bracket of the golden cross and pierced the ground.

Accompanied by the sound of gear transmission and mechanism operation, the rear end of the spear is continuously disassembled, reconstructed, unfolded, and interwoven into huge gears that overlap and bite.

The steel mechanical dome replaced the original sky, enveloping the three of them.

Under the mechanical sky, Cheng Xi took a deep breath, and the expression in his eyes turned firm:

Lawyers, watch carefully!This is what you regard as your sworn enemy—the power of human beings!

.......

Chapter 15 Stripping

"Is this the true power contained within Judas' oath?"

Outside the golden-red barrier, Einstein looked up at the huge barrier that covered almost the entire top of the Babylonian laboratory, and his words revealed a little emotion.

Even as a top scientist, she couldn't help but marvel at the highest wisdom crystallization of the former civilization in front of her at this moment.

"Within the range of the enchantment of divine grace, all Houkai energy will be nullified, and even other forms of energy will be weakened to varying degrees."

What Cheng Xi said half an hour ago when he mentioned the information about the enchantment of divine grace came to her mind:

"And Herrscher, who purely uses Houkai energy as a source of power, will become the weakest existence after the enchantment of divine grace is unfolded!"
