Life in the collapsed world from scratch

"Really?" Xier confirmed carefully.

"Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?" Cheng Xi replied confidently.

"Oh..." Xier nodded, closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Cheng Xi: "..."

I didn't let you learn and use it now.

……

After a brief exchange, Cheng Xi finally got some information about the girl.

The girl lived in an orphanage as long as she could remember, where she met many people and was protected by many people.For her, it is her home.

But I don't know why, the girl has been coveted by many people from the outside world since she was a child. They would come to the orphanage every now and then to try to kidnap her, but every time they were discovered and stopped by the gentle and beautiful mother in time.

But recently, the mother seemed to have temporarily left the orphanage for some reason, and those guys got the information from who knows where, and took advantage of the situation and successfully tied the girl out.

The girl didn't remember very clearly what happened next, she only knew that she was tied up and stuffed into a luggage bag, and in the dark, she could only feel the car driving around for a long time, so long that her sense of time began to become blurred , finally ushered in a new light.

Cheng Xi scratched his head, why did he feel that the girl's story sounded so familiar?

"Let me ask, what was the name of the orphanage you used to live in?"

Although Xier was a little puzzled as to why he suddenly asked this question, she still replied honestly: "Because it was established by Mama Cocolia, it is called Cocolia Orphanage."

Cheng Xi: "..."

He remembered, it turned out to be that bad woman Cocolia!

But after thinking about it, he couldn't combine Cocolia with the beautiful and gentle mother that the girl said. Pretty is indeed pretty, but gentle... Could it be another mother she was talking about?

Forget it, put this kind of thing aside for the time being.Cheng Xi shook his head.

In this way, the identity of the girl in front of me can almost be confirmed.

Cheng Xi covered his face with his hand, he didn't know what kind of luck he was, he could pick up a member of the future protagonist group casually.If he had had this luck when drawing cards back then, he wouldn't have to tighten his belt at the end of every month.

"By the way." He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know Bronya?"

"Bronya?" Seele tilted her head in doubt, "Who is that?"

"...No, just pretend I didn't ask." Cheng Xi waved his hand.

Yes, the current time is only 2010. According to the original plot, Bronya will not be brought back to the orphanage by Cocolia until at least 2012. It is normal for the girl not to know her now.

No, I almost forgot one thing, Bronya is no longer an orphan.

Cheng Xi slapped his head, lamenting that his memory seems to have declined again.

Although I don't know how Alexandra died in the original "history", but now that the direction of the world has been changed, Alexandra's mother and daughter are living well under the special care of anti-entropy , Bronya was able to have a happy childhood, and there is a high probability that she will not follow the old path of the original world line.

"However, Cocolia..." Cheng Xi had a headache, he really didn't want to deal with that bad woman.

Chapter 45 A Lucky Deal

When talking about Cocolia, Cheng Xi's head hurts, because sometimes he really can't figure out what is going on in that woman's mind.

Obviously, at the earliest time, he was still an image of a decent soldier who could not tolerate the theft and smuggling of materials by his colleagues, but when the main line appeared, he had become an executioner with the blood of millions of people on his hands.He obviously loved his daughters so much, but he was able to send them to the experimental bench of human experiments with his own hands.

Sometimes Cheng Xi even wondered if this woman was schizophrenic, which is why she repeatedly did such inconsistent things.

However, in this world line, because of Cheng Xi's obstruction, Cocolia's human experiment plan has not been able to proceed smoothly.As for the three existing gems of anti-entropy, he would not even let the woman touch them.

The woman in Cocolia only needs to applaud and shout 666. Regarding the fight against Honkai, Cheng Xi has his own plan.He can't guarantee success, but at least it's much better than anti-entropy's situation of taking one step at a time.

It is precisely because of this that Cheng Xi and Cocolia have not dealt with each other very much.

But it doesn't matter, after all, Cheng Xida never thought of getting along with that woman from the beginning, even if she is really pretty, it still can't change the fact that she is crazy.

But now, even if he doesn't want to deal with the other party, he can't do it anymore.

Originally, the best situation should be that he immediately set off to return to Anti-Entropy, and sent Xier back to Cocolia's orphanage on the way. There was no need to inform Cocolia in the middle, and it would be good to let the woman worry for two days. Simple and quick kill two birds with one stone.

But that's where the problem lies, and now he has a reason why he can't leave.

With the passage of time, Cheng Xi's memory of his previous life also began to become blurred.It wasn't until he saw Siegfried and Kiyana again that he suddenly remembered that in the original world trajectory, a major event happened in the winter of 2010:

One day this winter, for some unknown reason, the Herrscher energy in Kiyana's body would go out of control, which directly caused Siegfried to lose his left hand, and disappeared without a trace for a long time.

It is precisely because of this incident that Kiyana embarked on a journey of wandering alone at the age of 12, and finally met Mei in Changkong City in the Far East, which opened the main plot of the collapsed world.

This is an extremely important time, no matter what the reason is, Cheng Xi feels that he cannot leave at this time.

Even, he might be able to...

Cheng Xi shook his head, and put the thought behind him: "Let's deal with the matter in front of me first."

If Qiyana really lost control, the situation must be very dangerous.Even Siegfried lost his arm in that disaster, he really wasn't 100% sure that he could protect the girl well.

In this way, it is necessary to contact Cocolia as soon as possible and let her take the girl back.

But the question is, what should he say then?

"Your daughter is in my hands. If you want her to go back safely, you can exchange it with your other daughters."

If you say that, you will probably be beaten, right?

In fact, he only kidnapped someone once after all. After all, his experience in this area is insufficient, and there is still a lot of room for learning and improvement.

"Can't you talk well?" Cocolia's helpless voice came from the receiver.

Cheng Xi frowned: "Be serious, kidnapping!"

"Yes, yes, my Mr. Kidnapper." Cocolia said unhurriedly. After knowing the identity of the other party, her attitude was not as stiff and nervous as when she first answered the phone.

"It doesn't matter if you don't plan to return it... Although we don't deal with each other very much, I have to admit that you are a very reassuring guy."

"Just let Xi'er stay by your side for a while, that child really needs to get in touch with the outside world. As compensation... How about giving you two fried chicken coupons?"

This obviously joking words made Cheng Xi twitch his lips, feeling a little unhappy:

Tell me clearly, what does it mean to be reassuring?Obviously look down on people?

"I'm not kidding Cocolia, my side really..."

"Okay, that's it." Cocolia interrupted rudely: "I've been busy with some things recently, and I won't be able to spare time in two days. Let's talk about it later."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cheng Xi to respond, she hung up the phone.

Cheng Xi: "..."

"Well, Mom, she..." Seeing that he hung up the phone, Xi'er opened her mouth hesitantly, as if she wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

Seeing the girl's expectant eyes, Cheng Xi didn't know whether to tell the truth or not.

After thinking about it, he decided to break up the bad news so that the girl could have a psychological buffer.

"Here is bad news and worse news. Which do you want to hear?"

Xier: "..."

Is there no good news?

After waiting for a while, seeing that the girl didn't answer, Cheng Xi finally made a choice for her: "Let's tell the bad news first...you were betrayed by your mother."

"..." Xi'er pursed her lips, showing an unexpected calmness, she seemed to accept the matter quickly, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Then... what's the worse news?"

Cheng Xi thought for a while and replied, "I used two coupons for fried chicken."

Xier: "...".

Chapter 46 Transformation

The morning sun shines from the window sill, reflecting on the desktop covered with various parts and tools.

The sound of rustling metal and equipment was heard from time to time, and the parts on the table were gradually assembled into two pistols with Cheng Xi's movements.

Kiyana looked at the two pistols that had completely changed in front of her eyes, her eyes gradually opened wide, and she made surprised sounds from time to time.

But soon, her attention was attracted by the side face of the boy who was concentrating on it.Driven by some kind of psychology, she stretched out her fingers like a ghost——

poke...

"..." Cheng Xi, who was interrupted, turned around helplessly, met the girl's innocent eyes, sighed and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hey..." Qiyana smirked twice, but she didn't intend to stop the movements of her hands. Could it be that Cheng Xi's irritated reaction made her feel more interesting?

"Don't you think it's fun?"

"Only you think so." Cheng Xi complained, pushing the magazine into the body of the gun, and finally reassembled the two pistols.

"Is the modification finished?" Kiyana's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand: "Let me see!"

Snatching the pistol from Cheng Xi's hand and looking it over carefully, Qiyana's eyes widened in surprise.

The light silver gun body reflects the metallic luster in the sun, and the circuit-like energy pattern adds a bit of sci-fi color. The whole pistol is integrated, and there is no trace of modification at all.

Seeing Qiyana's loving expression, Cheng Xi nodded in satisfaction.

As the saying goes, the value of appearance is the combat power. After some remodeling, this pair of guns has become better in addition to being more powerful. At least it is not a big problem to deal with some small Honkai beasts with thin shells. up.

"Let's go." Cheng Xi stood up and said to Xi'er who had been standing beside her and hadn't spoken.

"Eh? Where are you going?" Xi'er froze for a moment, and then felt a hard object being stuffed into her arms.He lowered his head and took a look, only to find that it was the other modified pistol.

After hearing this, Qiyana withdrew her attention and looked here curiously.

"Teach you how to fight." Cheng Xi's words stunned the two of them.

"By the way..." After a pause, Cheng Xi continued, "I'll teach you how to control the Houkai energy in your body."

……

Strictly speaking, both Qiyana and Xier are not ordinary people.

At least compared to ordinary people, they have the capital to survive in this world better, but they still don't know how to use this capital.

But in this world, power often comes with danger.Take Xier as an example, the stigmata of the Herrscher of Death has made her coveted by many organizations since she was a child. Without Cocolia's protection, she would probably be lying on some experimental table now.

As for Kiyana, let alone, in the original story, as a container deliberately cultivated to contain the power of the Herrscher of the Void, it can be said that her whole life has been under Otto's control, letting It's at the mercy of others.

And the two have one thing in common, that is, when they realize the power hidden in their bodies, their first reaction is to escape from this power.
