Life in the collapsed world from scratch

I'm not ready to do it yet!

"What are you going to do?" Tesla turned around and looked at him suspiciously - asked.

"Speaking of which, I just saw a golden light coming from your side...don't miss the meeting."

"...You read it wrong." Cheng Xi quietly hid his left hand behind him, raised his head to look at Walter on the main seat, and asked Tesla suspiciously: "Who did the leader reject?" proposal?"

And still with such a resolute tone... To be honest, since the funds for anti-entropy have gradually increased with the completion of several major projects recently, this kind of situation of rejecting a proposal on the spot has rarely occurred. Know which guy is so unlucky.

In addition to being a little curious, Cheng Xi also felt a little gloating.

"You still said you didn't desert!" Tesla gave him an angry look: "Of course it's your proposal, otherwise who else could it be?"

Cheng Xi: "...?"

Is it too late to retract the preface now?

"Leaving aside the success rate of this proposal...Cheng Xi, you should know the specific cost of your plan, right?"

Walter rubbed his temples with a headache and looked at him and asked.

Cheng Xi nodded: "I know a thing or two."

"Then you must also know that with our current financial resources, it is impossible to build an accelerator around the earth, let alone the 'solar energy' energy supply device behind it."

After thinking about it, Walter added another sentence: "Besides, your research and development funding has just been cut, and you should also know that it is impossible for me to agree to this proposal."

"Of course." Cheng Xi nodded and said confidently, "So I have prepared another plan."

The so-called compromise principle, when one of your proposals that cannot be accepted is rejected, the latter relatively normal proposal will be more likely to be passed.

and so……

"I don't know if you guys have thought about changing the Second God's Key a little bit?"

……

Recently, Cheng Xi is really busy. Not only does he need to write related reports about the other world, he also needs to sort out the massive amount of information in the void, and he also needs to spare time to study the power of the stigmata. In his spare time, he also needs to find a suitable I will see if I can arrange a meeting between Qiyana and Cecilia, and the identity of a certain Miss Lawer and a bunch of messy information registrations have not been resolved...

In short, during this period of time, Cheng Xi was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. When he returned home after finishing his day's work, the sky had completely darkened.

 …  

"I am back."

He opened the door of his room, but was puzzled to find that the light inside was not on.

Logically speaking, Teresa should have been waiting in her room for him to come home at this point in time... Did she go out with something?

Cheng Xi became a little worried - not worried about Teresa, but worried about others and her own wallet.

"I hope she doesn't cause any trouble." He sighed softly and reached for the light switch by the door.

"click..."

A slight switch sounded, and the soft white light illuminated the scenery in the room, and at the same time, it also reflected the figure of a young girl.

"... Seele?"

Looking at the girl with black and red short hair who was sitting on her bed, Cheng Xi was slightly taken aback.

how you?

"Good evening, brother." The girl smiled and greeted him: "What's the matter? Are you surprised to see me?" Death.

Chapter 340 The troubles of "Xieer"

"...It's not surprising at all."

Cheng Xi stepped forward, pulled out a chair and put it in front of the girl. After thinking for a while, she took out a bottle of milk from the drawer next to her and handed it to her.

"Xie'er" hesitated for a moment, but still took it, but still couldn't help but want to complain: "Why is there milk in your room?"

It can't be that it's specially prepared for her and Xi'er, right?

"Is it strange to have milk?" Cheng Xi asked her with a strange look.

"Generally speaking, shouldn't there be wine "[-]" in the adult's room?"

"Sill" asked.

"There are always adults who don't like drinking." Cheng Xi shrugged and said.

"Or...'Xie'er, do you want to drink?"

"...No, no." After a moment of hesitation, "Xie'er" still refused.

"If it's just me drinking alone, it's meaningless." She whispered in an inaudible voice.

Cheng Xi: "What?"

"I mean, milk is enough."

"Xie'er" took a deep breath and said, "After all, Xi'er also likes to drink milk, doesn't she?"

"Xie'er is Xi'er, you are you, you don't have to go along with her preferences."

While talking, Cheng Xi looked around, but didn't see anyone except the girl.

"...Are you alone?"

"Who is brother looking for?"

"Xie'er" tilted her head and asked, "Is that woman, or Xi'er?"

"It's all." Cheng Xi replied after thinking about it.

After all, at this point in time, it really surprised him that Teresa hadn't come back yet.

Maybe it's because of the estrangement between different worlds, maybe it's because they don't want to waste time on meaningless interpersonal communication, or maybe they don't look down on other people in the base at all... In short, if there is nothing important, compared to When going out to hang out, girls usually prefer to stay at home, while browsing the Internet to pass the time, while waiting for him to come back.

According to Cheng Xi's personal knowledge, girls generally have nothing important to do.

As for Xier...

"After all, you usually appear together, don't you?"

"Yeah, in the eyes of others, we are always inseparable, like one person..."

"Xie'er" said with a chuckle: "But... since my brother regards us as two people, you should know that no matter how good the relationship is, or if we get along for a long time, there are always some things that cannot be heard by the other party. .”

So that's why you came to me?Cheng Xi thought suddenly.

He was very happy that the girl thought of talking to him in this situation, which was a proof of trust, so he also paid more attention to what the girl said.

"So, what is that thing Xier can't know?" He sat down opposite the girl, ready to listen patiently.

"It's...about the Herrscher of Death." The girl said...

"..."

Cheng Xi's expression became serious, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Hasn't her consciousness completely disappeared?"

If this is the case, it is indeed a big trouble, but fortunately he has Yu Duchen in his hands now, so it is not a big problem.

However, "Xie'er" shook his head and said: "No, when I took over, there was no other consciousness in the core."

Why is that?

Cheng Xi was a little puzzled: "Have you not fully grasped the power of the Herrscher of Death?"

"Xier" still shook her head.

In fact, on the contrary, the power of the Herrscher of Death is very suitable for her, as if it was tailor-made for her, and there is no difficulty in mastering it.

"Then it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Cheng Xi thought for a while and said, "As long as your consciousness is not affected by Honkai and you can control this power smoothly, even if there are any other 5.5 problems, I will can help."

So, what is it that bothers the girl and makes her have to avoid Xier and come to find herself alone?

"That's what I said..."

"Xie'er" tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said.

"But, brother..."

After she paused for a moment, she raised her head and looked at Cheng Xi, with a strange red light in her eyes: "How can you confirm that my consciousness is not affected by Honkai?".

Chapter 340 IX Wishing for Happiness

The black-red viscous object surged like blood, corroding everything in sight.

An unknown substance like oil gradually climbed up the girl's body, condensing into a black and red skirt. The jet-black skirt was covered with layers of ruffles, which looked like black roses blooming in the abyss from a distance.

The rest of the matter spread under the girl's feet like a shadow, and the abyss-like black-red light loomed in the black mist, and the whole room seemed to be eroded into an unknown space of another dimension at this moment.

"...'Seele'?"

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, looked at the girl who suddenly spread her power in front of her, as if she was going to "block" this space, and tentatively called her name.

"Is brother calling me 13?"

"Xie'er" tilted her head slightly, looked at Cheng Xi and asked.

What was supposed to be a cute movement, put on the current girl, combined with the weird background, made people feel a little scary and thrilling inexplicably.

"There shouldn't be another person named Xi'er here now, right?"

Cheng Xi glanced at the place that should have been the door, but now it was covered by black sticky substance, so he couldn't see the original appearance, and felt a little doubt in his heart.

Logically speaking, with such a strong Houkai reaction erupting in the base, all kinds of alarms should have been sounded long ago, but why hasn't there been any movement outside?

"What do you mean by being affected by Honkai just now?"

Compared with the problems of the base, he was more concerned about what happened to the girl.

"Of course it is literally."

"Xie'er" replied unhurriedly: "Since I gained the power of the Herrscher of Death, I found that my thoughts have changed a little unconsciously. Some things I had before, but not Thoughts that were not obvious became stronger and harder to suppress...”

Did she not want Xi'er to touch the power of the Herrscher of Death because she sensed something was wrong?

Cheng Xi's heart sank gradually.

"And now, those thoughts have finally accumulated to the point where they can no longer be suppressed."
