"Happy holiday then!"
"Well, I plan to spend this hard-earned vacation with my daughter..."
"actually..."
Looking at the other party's dim smile, Kevin was about to say something when the door to the war room was opened.
"Oh? Are you getting ready to get off work? Well...I'm a little sorry, but please, you have to work overtime for a few days."
Zhong Rui, who walked in, saw Kevin and the others and said hello to them apologetically.
The sixth collapse occurred in a city near the Fire Chaser headquarters. I'm afraid they will be busy in the next few days...
"Zhong Rui, is there an emergency?"
"Well, the sixth collapse is coming."
"what?!"
Hearing this sudden news, even though it was not the first time Kevin had experienced it, he still couldn't get used to this sudden collapse.
Although the first few times were passed very peacefully, dealing with the aftermath of the collapse was not an easy task.
The birth of the Herrscher will result in the accompanying Honkaimon, and Honkaimon of this level often start at the Emperor level.
But compared to Honkaimon, Kevin is more worried about Zhong Rui. After all, he has to face Herrscher with unknown abilities every time.
Compared to Honkaimon, Herrscher, who has all kinds of strange abilities, is much more troublesome.
If the Herrscher awakens the ability to control time, then Zhong Ruike will be in danger...
After all, there are even Herrschers like Zhong Rui who can master space.
If there is a Herrscher who controls time, spirit, or life and death, and is killed by the opponent's ability at first sight, Zhong Ruike will be in danger!
He had heard those researchers complain in private about the omnipotence of Honkai Impact.
"Of course, I will work overtime for a few days. If something happens to me, in the first few days..."
Sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, Zhong Rui suddenly changed the subject and tacitly agreed to give them permission to take a few days off.
Anyway, what is really busy is dealing with the aftermath of the Great Collapse.
The precursor to the Great Collapse is actually the easiest stage among the three stages of the Great Collapse.
The selection of Herrscher candidates is left to the grassroots personnel of AI Ikaros and Fire Chaser Moth, and there is no need to dispatch these elite combat members.
"Haha, it's okay, Lord Zhong Rui, I'm actually not in a hurry."
Rubbing his hair in embarrassment, the light blue-haired man said with a smile.
Although he really wanted to go to the hospital to see his daughter, since the collapse was about to come, he had to prioritize his work...
"But Budley..."
"Okay, Kevin! I'm sure my daughter will understand."
Budley stopped Kevin from continuing with his eyes. He was proud of his job.
The battle against Honkai is not only to protect mankind, but also to protect his beloved wife and daughter.
"After this collapse is over, I will grant you a one-month long leave. By the way, I will also apply for a long leave for Miss Lilith of the second laboratory. Brad, I remember that your daughter seems to be in the hospital. After this collapse is over, , spend more time with your family during the holidays."
"Thank you, Master Zhong Rui."
Faced with Zhong Rui's concern, Budley's eyes flashed with warmth and he thanked him.
As expected of the person Captain Hen follows, he is such a gentle person...
Thanks to Mr. Zhongrui, the couple, who had been busy fighting against Honkai, were finally able to take a month off to spend the few hours they had with their daughter...
"We are all members of the combat department. There is no need to be so different from me. The location of the sixth Honkai outbreak is Crescent City. There may be precursors of Honkai in the surrounding area...Brad, what's wrong? Do you have any acquaintances? Where?"
Zhong Rui said with a smile, and suddenly noticed the panic and consternation in Brad's eyes when he heard the name of the city.
Brad didn't expect that Zhong Rui would notice his change in mood, and said with a wry smile.
"My daughter who is hospitalized is recuperating in Crescent City..."
"Is that so? How is her Honkai adaptability? If she doesn't meet the standard, I can help you handle the transfer procedures for her. Anyway, Fire Chaser Moth hasn't announced the sixth Honkai event yet."
Although this approach is using power for personal gain, Zhong Rui has always been very generous to his subordinates, so naturally he doesn't mind giving him a little convenience.
Besides, Zhong Rui would have given preferential treatment to the families of these soldiers.
So that these warriors fighting on the front lines of Honkai can put aside their worries and distracting thoughts.
"Her adaptability is excellent, because my wife had conducted experiments related to Honkai energy during pregnancy. As a result, although the little girl has a high adaptability to Honkai energy, the price is that Xi'er's body was born with poor health, and she was almost in the hospital. I grew up in a ward. After being diagnosed with a terminal illness in the past few years, I can no longer even walk..."
When listening to Brad's explanation, Zhong Rui originally wanted to use divine blood to help repair his daughter's disease and body, but when he heard the name Xi'er, his expression suddenly changed.
"Wait, what's your daughter's name?"
"Ciel, what's wrong?"
No, it can't be so coincidental, can it?
"Do you have a photo?"
"Please wait..."
Brad took out his phone and found the photo of his daughter taken three months ago to show to Zhong Rui.
Looking at the black-red-haired girl in the photo, Zhong Rui showed a subtle expression. She was almost exactly the same as the Xier he saw in the current civilization!
The only difference is hair color and eye color...
No, the eye color of Xi'er's second personality is also red, and the source of her second personality is the stigmata related to the Herrscher of Death.
"Brad, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Hearing Zhong Rui's statement, Brad thought of his daughter's special conditions and obviously realized something, with a stiff and bitter smile on his face.
"...Can you tell me the good news first?"
"Don't worry about your daughter's health. She will be fine."
"What about the bad news..."
"She... has a [-]% or even [-]% chance of being the Herrscher born in this great collapse."
Faced with the answer he had expected before, Brad closed his eyes in pain, and then, under the worried gazes of Kevin and Zhong Rui, he forced himself to cheer up and smiled.
"Well, this is actually a good thing, isn't it? After becoming a Herrscher, Xi'er's physical problems will be solved! My daughter no longer has to be tortured by the disease!"
"Now the Fire Chasing Moth has successfully taken the first step to save the Herrscher. Wendel is an example. Even if Xi'er becomes the Herrscher, I guarantee you that we will definitely save her."
Seeing the strength behind Brad's smile, Zhong Rui comforted him, so that the poor old father whose daughter was suffering from a fate would not be so sad.
"...Then please, Master Zhong Rui!"
Chapter 289 Mimicking the Herrscher Xier
"Xie'er, I kept you waiting for a long time. I bought you your favorite cake."
Hearing her father's energetic voice coming from outside the ward, Xier closed the book while turning the pages.
Paper books are very rare in today’s modern society. Most people choose e-books that are easy to carry and read. You only need to download a small program on your mobile phone to read most books in the world.
For her who was still very weak some time ago, flipping through books was actually a physical job, and e-books were more suitable for her.
But because messages from that man always appeared on mobile phones and TV, Xier gave up entertainment related to mobile phones and TV.
I just use my cell phone when talking to my parents...
"Dad, what happened to you?"
Xi'er leaned on the hospital bed and saw her father walking into the ward carrying a cake box, and noticed that his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.
"Huh? Ah... I'm sorry for making you worry. It's just something happened at work, I'm fine."
Brad looked at his cute and well-behaved daughter in the ward, and the emotions that had just calmed down surged up again, but he still forced himself to calm down, smiled at Xier and said.
"Dad, are you being bullied?"
"No, it's just that something happened to my comrade... By the way, I changed to a cake shop this time. I heard that their cakes are very delicious. You can try them."
Seeing him stiffly change the topic, Xi'er narrowed her eyes slightly, but didn't say anything. She was just about to reach out and take the cake box.
She saw her father help her open the cake box and cut the cake into bite-sized pieces, saving her the effort of cutting it with a knife.
And the scene of this old father caring for his sick and weak daughter also made Xi'er's eyes flash with disgust.
"Dad, you don't need to feed me, I can do it myself."
"Huh? Well..."
Upon hearing his daughter's sudden request, Brad took the cake plate and placed it on the small wooden table on Xier's hospital bed.
After seeing her hand picking up the fork very smoothly, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Xier is in good physical condition now...
"This cake..."
Xi'er, who was originally a little dissatisfied with her father's attention, was immediately captured by the deliciousness the moment she put the sweet pine cake into her mouth.
tasty!This was the first time she had tasted such delicious food!
Is it because the body is already healthy?
"What, what's wrong? Isn't it to your liking?"
Seeing that something was not right about Xi'er's expression, Brad asked Xi'er nervously.
These cakes are specially made by Zhong Rui for Xi'er. Considering Xi'er's suspected identity as the Sixth Herrscher, the ingredients of these cakes may be somewhat special.
"No, this cake is so delicious! Dad, which cake did you buy from?"
"Haha, these are the cakes in our internal cafeteria of Fire Chasing Moth. They are all desserts made by Master Zhong Rui himself."
"That person, well..."
Hearing that annoying name, Xier's hand holding the fork hung in the air with a slight hesitation, but finally lost to the temptation of the sweet cake.
She wasn't admitting that annoying guy's cooking skills, but she was trying not to waste food!
