Teresa won't starve

......

Just kept going upstairs.

Although when passing by the first few floors, I can occasionally hear some complicated footsteps, as if there are many people nearby who are doing something;

But neither Teresa nor Shiyin took a look at it curiously, but pretended not to hear and continued walking upstairs.

When she reached the stairs from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, Teresa suddenly felt the whole building shake.

At first, she thought it was her own illusion, until she felt that she was being pulled from behind, subconsciously exerted a little force, and finally let Shiyin lay on her back.

Quickly turned around and helped her up: "Why are you here suddenly? Are you scared?"

"certainly not."

Although it was not bad to just lie down like this, Shiyin didn't resist much, and was lifted from her body by Teresa, then straightened her slightly messy hair and clothes, and said to Teresa who seemed not to notice the abnormality at all: "Master Samurai, didn't you feel the earthquake just now?"

"...You said there was an earthquake just now? Did you feel the earthquake!?"

Teresa thought that the shock just now was still felt only by herself as before.

Listening to Shiyin now, does it mean that this time there was really an earthquake?

While thinking this way, suddenly——

boom! !

As if a train or something else hit it, the entire girls' dormitory building shook with a huge bombardment.

Even if Teresa was able to maintain her body's balance, and keep Shion who was leaning on her from falling.

But the wall next to her was not so lucky for the weight bearing on the top of her head and under her feet, and cracks of various sizes appeared one after another.And it seems that because the main structure was damaged, they broke apart one after another.

Then the wall broke, the ceiling sagged, and the stairs under his feet were also broken into several pieces.

Teresa was very unlucky and stood on one of the steps that were disconnected from front to back, and she was about to fall down along with this step.

Shiyin standing beside her didn't care if she couldn't stand still, so she reached out and grabbed Theresa without thinking:

"Master Samurai!!"

But the next moment, Shiyin was a little stunned.

Because Teresa didn't fall at all, but her body was floating there in the air.Instead, she was picked up by Teresa and quickly flew out of the girls' dormitory.

I came to the playground that was being washed by the downpour.

After slowly landing, it was only then that they were on the ground again.

Shiyin stared blankly at the unfamiliar Teresa, then lowered her eyes and said, "Master Samurai, you say Shiyin...is Shiyin very useless?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Shiyin... I really want to help the samurai, but I can't do it well."

"Hey! You are delving into a dead end!"

In fact, Shiyin has never done less for her than anyone else.Just because of personality and other reasons, coupled with the relatively young age, it is inevitable that he will be particularly serious about certain things.

Regardless of the fact that Shiyin was born in the era 500 years ago, and because of the living environment, she matured more precociously than ordinary people.In addition, her actual age is not as young as it seems on the surface, which makes her closer to an adult to some extent.

However, close does not mean it is.

She is still an underage girl after all!

So Teresa put her hands on her waist and said, "People need to be self-aware. If you try your best to do things that are obviously impossible, that's not recklessness or arrogance, it's just a mental illness!"

"...Samurai-sama means that Shion has a mental problem?"

"You're making a fuss!"

787 "Reach out a helping hand to those who cannot be saved"

"..."

Although she knew that Teresa was telling the truth, Shiyin didn't want to admit that she was "raising the pole" at all, so she turned her head to the other side.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was attracted by the sight in his eyes: "Master Samurai, look quickly—"

"what happened?"

Hearing Shiyin's reminder, Teresa followed her gaze and saw the dormitory building, which was still intact, as if it had been blasted from the inside.

Not to mention the hideous cracks, what is even more exaggerated is that some extremely thick emerald green vines are coming out of those cracked gaps and broken glass windows, almost enveloping the entire fifth floor.

It even climbed down the outer wall like a creeper, and took root little by little, making the entire dormitory building seem to be parasitized.

Especially the green plant rhizomes that are 'vessels' rather than vines.At this time, like the pipes connected to the 'heart', they are 'beating' in expansion and contraction, vaguely indicating that something is gestating inside.

"Plant, Herrscher?"

At this moment Teresa suddenly figured it out.

It was not the Herrscher of Thunder that was born in the Great Crash of the Sky, but the Herrscher of Plants was born into this world.

It's just because most people are attracted by the Herrscher of Thunder, and the description of the Herrscher of Plants in the original story is "Pseudo Herrscher" - this kind of misleading makes most people not think about it.

In fact, many people, including Teresa, have forgotten that the Herrscher of Thunder appeared long before the third big collapse.

So if the Great Honkai is used as the standard, the real Third Herrscher is actually——

Yuno.

Looking at the "squirming" vines with complicated emotions, Teresa, whose eyes gradually became firm from confusion, raised her feet towards the dormitory building itself which could hardly be seen.

But after only two steps, Shiyin behind him grabbed her hand: "What are you doing, Mr. Samurai!?"

Looking back at Shiyin who was full of confusion and worry on her face, Teresa thought for a while but couldn't find a suitable reason, so she had to say: "I can't do it when I can lend a helping hand." Turn a blind eye."

"But what does that have to do with the samurai..."

"I had nothing to do with Shiyin back then! But, I still chose to save you!"

"...Isn't it because Shi Yin is so cute?"

"What are you talking about at a time like this? You ruined the good atmosphere!" Taking a deep breath and calming down again, Teresa thought about it carefully, but finally found that the answer was from Shiyin Almost: "Well, I admit, there is indeed a part of the reason."

"Could it be Shiyin..."

Shiyin opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything after that.After being silent for a while, he slowly let go of Teresa's hand, and said in a desolate tone with unconcealable worry, "But the samurai will..."

"I won't get hurt!" Seeing Shiyin opened her mouth and wanted to refute herself, Teresa added another sentence: "I promise."

Shiyin's eyes stared straight at Teresa's, as if she wanted to see even a hint of lying from those clear blue eyes.

Then, he turned around very simply, turned his back to Teresa and said, "Damn it!"

"..."

Teresa didn't know why she was hated again.

He raised his hand and wanted to ask Shiyin for an explanation, but considering that if he continued to waste time, it might be too late, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being, and turned around to walk towards the completely 'green' dormitory building.

Accompanied by gradually approaching, looking at the small dormitory building in the distance, the overall volume is getting bigger and bigger.

The body shape that makes Teresa five short... Well, in fact, among her peers, she has long legs, but it still looks extremely short in comparison.

Like that inconspicuous little stone.

However, it is such an inconspicuous piece of childhood, its hardness is beyond most people's understanding.

Standing under the 'building' I don't know if it can be called a dormitory building.

Teresa closed her eyes first.

When she opened it again, her pupils had changed into shapes like glowing birds.

Then came the huge wings faintly spread out from behind it, but when someone looked at it, they found that it seemed to be just an illusion for a moment, and there was no such thing in fact.

However, the existence of such a 'symbolic' thing is not important to Teresa.

Feeling that the restraint of the body from the center of the earth has disappeared, she just flew into the air as soon as she thought about it; she obviously has no wings, but she can act in the air at will like instinct.

Episode 788 "Fight for those who should be protected"

Looking back, he had already turned around to look at Shiyin on his side.After Teresa nodded to her, she flew directly to the fifth floor.

But before she could do anything, the nearby vines seemed to be stimulated; they even automatically opened the entangled 'knot' and shot towards Teresa.

Seeing this sudden situation, Teresa, who originally wanted to try to get in touch, had to walk away sideways—mainly because she was afraid that Shiyin would be worried when she saw it.

"Is it that sensitive?"

Seeing that these sticks have been stretched out for a long time, they stopped because they had reached the limit and had to be retracted.Teresa exuded her right hand at this moment, and snapped her fingers towards the vines in front of her.

And said very casually: "I remember a certain movie I watched when I was in elementary school, there was a plant called 'Devil's Lock'." (Harry Potter)

——Why did Teresa specifically talk about this?

At the next moment, starting with Teresa and Vine Tadami, a dazzling blue light that can temporarily blind people suddenly lit up.

Even Shiyin, who was standing far away, had to cover her eyes with her hands, so that she would not be blinded by the blue light that could even eclipse the sun at this moment.

Only Teresa, who never blinked, was not affected by the place where the blue light appeared, which was also the place where the light was the strongest.He also saw with his own eyes that these vines shrank back quickly as if full of fear under the blue light.

Obviously under Teresa's deliberate control, this blue light wasn't even enough to generate burning heat.

But even so, the vines still 'scattered and fled', opening a gap in the entire covered fifth floor, allowing Teresa to take the opportunity to fly into this broken room.

Then the light faded away.

The vines that reacted surrounded the gap again, making the entire room so dark that not even a little light could penetrate.

But this is nothing to Teresa, she doesn't even need to deliberately create a light source, she can rely on her own pair of eyes that can see it as daylight even in a dark environment.

Looking around, he immediately found the girl whose clothes were on the verge of being torn, and who was tied to the wall by some relatively small tentacles, ah no, vines.

As Teresa walked in step by step, the sound of footsteps that were not intentionally light, and the louder movement just now made the girl who was already in a semi-comatose state wake up a little bit.

"I am..."

The girl instinctively wanted to move.

However, she found that her body was fixed, and even if she tried harder, she would still feel a slight pain in the skin, which forced the girl to stop first.

Think carefully about why you are here——

"Do you still have your own consciousness?"

Teresa came closer and looked up at the disheveled girl bound by vines to the wall.

I wanted to put her down first.

After careful observation for a while, it was discovered that these vines actually 'grow' from the girl's body.If the vines were broken without any consideration, obviously the girl herself would also be hurt.

"......Ah you are?"

The girl lowered her head and met the pair of blue eyes that seemed to be familiar, but seemed to have never been seen before.Then, as if stimulated, every bit of life was recalled.

Unkind mother, uncute classmates, uncaring teacher, and...

The picture finally freezes on a little girl who obviously can only be regarded as a first-time acquaintance, and she doesn't even have a deep impression.

At the same time, another memory also drilled in.

As if consciously guiding her, when she gradually understood the meaning of that memory, she also began to find that she couldn't control herself, so she had to shout to Teresa while she could still maintain herself:

"Quick! Get out of here! Get out of me! I'm fast, I can't control myself..."

Accompanied by the words spit out from Yuno's mouth, the originally 'quiet' vines also rioted.From the original form of a cage spreading around, it swam towards Teresa, the only 'outsider', like giant pythons.

But whenever they approached, they retreated as if pulled by a force.

Then it didn't take long for them to surround them again—and so on, over and over again.

Teresa knew that it was the surface personality and the inner personality, or the human consciousness and the Herrscher personality fighting for control; once Yuno's human consciousness was defeated, she would completely become a Herrscher with the mission of destroying human beings.

But at least there is still some time.

Seeing the emerald green pupils start to glow from time to time, and sometimes dimmed, Teresa showed a smile that the other party couldn't understand at this time: "It's okay, I will save you."
