Life in the collapsed world from scratch

You hold me like this, how can I eat?

He complained in his heart.

"But there is one thing, Cheng Xi, you're wrong." The girl blinked and said, "It's not that I'm not hostile to humans, but I just don't want to do things that annoy you, so I let them go."

"From this point of view, they survived because of you. It's not an exaggeration to call you the savior."

The girl's remarks reminded Cheng Xi of the very popular "Infinite Merit Machine" in her previous life.

As the girl who destroyed the world, she directly skipped the process of saving the world, and took the credit for saving the world on her own head.According to this way of playing, if there are a few more bugs, Cheng Xi reckons that he may be able to become a saint in the end.

Oh, I forgot, there is no such thing as merit in the setting of the collapsed world.

"You're not actually Theresa, are you?" Very suddenly, Cheng Xi asked the girl.

"..."

The girl shook her head silently, and said with a smile: "That depends on how you define the identity of 'Theresa'."

"This body is indeed the body of the girl named 'Theresa', but what exists in the body, I don't have any memory of Theresa in my consciousness, so I don't know, Is my current soul still the original Theresa's soul..."

"But it doesn't matter..."

The girl gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of Cheng Xi's mouth, and said softly: "The past of 'Theresa' is not important to me, all I value is you."

"You like the little tempered and shy Theresa from before, and I can be that kind of Theresa. You like the cute, mature and childlike Theresa in the original world, and I can be that too. That Teresa. No matter what you like, I will work very hard to become what you like."

"So... please make sure you like me too, okay?"

"..."

Cheng Xi is a little embarrassed, he actually prefers the older Theresa... Wait, why does it have to be Theresa?

"I still don't understand..." He turned his eyes away, deliberately not looking at the girl's eyes at the moment, trying to change the subject: "Why me? I and you in this world shouldn't have had any intersection before, right?"

Originally on 5.5, he thought that the girl transferred her feelings for "Cheng Xi" of this world to himself, but the girl herself denied this statement.

There is no other Cheng Xi in this world, the girl's special feelings are indeed only for him.This is what Cheng Xi can't understand the most.

"Didn't I say that? I don't have any memories of Theresa in this world."

The girl raised her head, stared at Cheng Xi with her blue eyes, and said softly: "So, I was born for you completely and completely.".

"I see……"

In the dark laboratory, the purple-blue long-haired girl pushed her glasses and said thoughtfully: "According to what you said, if that person named 'Cheng Xi' is really in the strong blockade and If it's alive, it means one thing."

"He is a very special existence to the Law Restrainer, so special that she is willing to devote her energy to carefully controlling her own power while maintaining the binding barrier, so as not to let this power hurt he."

"It's like a doctor trying his best to perform an operation, but also to ensure that his clothes are not stained with blood. It is not only very difficult, but also very exhausting."

Isn't there a more appropriate analogy?

Cecilia on the side thought.

"If this is the case, then for us, this Cheng Xi is indeed worth rescuing 13." The purple-black long-haired girl continued, without changing her tone, "If he can be used as a breakthrough point, No. Or lift the binding enchantment, then we still have the hope of reviving civilization."

Hearing this, Xier had a surprised expression on her face.

"But..." She changed the subject and said to the girl: "As I said just now, since that person is very special to the Law Binding, it means that if we want to rescue him, we must confront the Law Binding directly. "

"Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of power at the moment."

If there were, they wouldn't be forced to the present situation.she added in her mind.

"As the end of this world, the power of the law-binding one is far beyond your imagination. We will not, and it is impossible, to devote our remaining manpower and material resources to such a hopeless matter."

She paused for a moment, looked straight into the girl's eyes and said, "So, my personal advice to you is, just give up."

"Yi!"

Seeing the disappointed expression on Xier's face, Cecilia couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to say something, but felt a faint tugging sensation from the corner of her clothes.

She turned her head and found that it was the girl who was pulling the hem of her clothes, and shook her head at her.

"Sister Mei, who has become a scientist, seems to be much more rational."

Persuading Cecilia who wanted to speak for herself, Xier stepped forward and said softly: "Xier also knows that it is a person who wants you who have nothing to do with this matter to risk your life to get involved. It’s very difficult and very self-righteous.”

"So, Xier never thought of passing on this danger, and never thought of asking you to bear these dangers for Xier. Whether it is possible or impossible, foreseeable or unforeseen, all Xi'er will bear all the crises and risks, and I only hope that you can help Xi'er within your ability."

"Please, sister Mei..."

"..."

Seeing the girl who bowed her head and begged to herself in a low voice, Mei was silent for a long time and sighed.

"Cecilia should have told you that what we can do now is to allow you to break through the blockade of the restraining barrier within a certain range and regain control of the Honkai energy."

"And this is just an idea, a plan, and there is no successful precedent. Even so, you are not willing to give up. Do you want to continue?"

Xier took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Yes, I will not give up."

"Even if you pay any price for this?" Mei reconfirmed.

"Any price is fine." Seele still replied firmly.

"Even if it means becoming a Herrscher?"

"Even... eh?" Xi'er was stunned.

lawyer?

……

"The existence of the Herrscher who restrains the Herrscher is itself a paradox. It is obvious that the Herrscher who uses the Houkai to fight can create an enchantment that makes the Houkai invalid. From a common sense point of view, this is simply impossible. "

Walking in the dark and empty metal corridor, Mei explained to the girl beside him: "Not only the Houkai energy, but also all other forms of energy are suppressed to varying degrees under the power of restraining power, which is what we The reason for not being able to approach the strong blockade area. 287"

"However, this situation is not unsolvable. No matter how powerful the barrier is, it needs enough energy to support it. Even a collapse cannot break the first and second laws of thermodynamics."

"Therefore, as long as a supersaturation attack is launched on the enchantment in a short period of time, the strength of the enchantment can be effectively weakened, thus creating a chance to defeat the Lawrender."

Xi'er nodded with a half understanding, she still remembered that when her brother told him about the method of dealing with the Law Restrainer, he seemed to have mentioned this method.

"But that's only a method that can be used under normal circumstances, when we are not yet within the envelope of the restraining barrier and still have the strength to resist."

Mei changed the subject and continued: "Under the blockade of restricting power, let alone creating an oversaturation strike, we can't even launch a missile into the air."

"So, in the current situation, we can only seek the help of another force."

"What power?" Seele asked curiously.

"The Quantum Ocean." Mei replied.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"By opening a channel leading to the Quantum Sea, the power of the Quantum Sea can be reversely infiltrated into this world, and a different space area can be formed."

"And in this space-differentiated area, the power of the quantum sea will conflict with the bounding barrier, just like the earth's magnetic field resisting the solar wind, creating a vacuum of binding power for us to reuse the Houkai energy. district."

Mei introduced the general plan to Xier.

However, Xi'er was a little puzzled when she heard it: "I don't quite understand, Sister Mei, since you have already found a way to fight against the restraint barrier, why don't you use it?"

"It's very simple, because of energy." Mei replied.

"With the only energy we have now, the quantum channel that can be opened can form a different space area that is very limited, and even a large reactor cannot be fully included."

"Under the blockade of the binding barrier, the quantum channel without subsequent energy support will be closed soon, making the resulting spaced area a flash in the pan, which is meaningless to us."

"To maintain the stability of the quantum channel, we need an energy source that is small enough, has a high enough output power, and can continuously generate energy."

Mei stood still in front of a heavy metal door, looked back at Xier and said, "This is exactly what I said before, you need to make a choice."

She stretched out her hand and pulled down a lever next to the door. With the sound of mechanical operation and chain gear transmission, the heavy metal door slowly opened in front of the two of them.

"Because the electronic equipment cannot be used, we have replaced most of the safety doors that seal important items with this mechanical transmission structure."

she explained for the girl.

However, Xi'er was not listening to her at the moment, but was attracted all attention by the clear gemstone shining with sea blue light under the dim light on the experimental table in the center of the room behind the door.

"That's... the Gem of Tranquility〃〃?"

She had seen the Serenity Gem in the original world before, and quickly recognized the very familiar sea blue gemstone.

"I see. In your world, do you use 'Gem of Tranquility' to refer to the core of the Herrscher of Death..."

Mei nodded thoughtfully and said, "Regardless of the name, it is indeed a Herrscher core as you can see."

"At the same time, that's the only one we have left, the only complete core of Herrscher."

"The only one that is complete..." Xi'er couldn't help asking after hearing the words: "What about the others?"

"Of course it was destroyed." Mei replied.

destroyed?Who destroyed it?

Before Xier asked this question, she heard Mei's voice again:

"So Seele, I'm repeating the previous question."

Mei turned her head, stared closely at Xier's eyes, and asked, "Are you willing to pay any price to save your brother? Even if you are forced to abandon your identity as a human being and become an enemy of human beings from now on... By?"

"...I will not be an enemy of human beings, sister Mei." Xier replied after a moment of silence.

"It's not something you can decide on your own." Mei said without hope.

"No, that's the only thing I'm sure of." Xi'er shook her head and said with a smile, "Because, brother, he's on the side of humans..."

……

"Born for me... why do you say that?"

Cheng Xi asked very puzzled.

However, what he didn't expect was that the girl who usually knew everything about his questions turned her head, stuck out her tongue and said, "I won't tell you~"

"Because it's something that I can't let me know?" He was a little puzzled.

"Not really." The girl pointed her chin with her finger, looked up at the ceiling, and said after thinking for a while, "I just think that as a girl, I should maintain some sense of mystery so that I can be more attractive... What do you think?"
