Teresa won't starve

The wind whistled in my ears, and the surrounding things were left behind like a zoomed-out lens.

As the hand rises, the knife falls.

The dead soldiers were decapitated, cut in half, and dismembered one by one, but no blood flowed out at all, only because the wounds were frozen by ice.

But that's not to say there wasn't blood left—

Sakura has traveled all the way, cutting down the dead when she sees them, and seeing people... There are no living people who are not dead, and there are countless dead who have become real dead.

As far as the eye can see, there are corpses piled up all over the ground.

"Ling, sister, it's right here."

Sakura was panting tiredly, but it wasn't because she was tired.

The massive loss of blood took away a lot of her strength, and at the same time left a long trail of blood behind her. Even fusion fighters, this amount of bleeding wouldn't last long.

But she still didn't stop, and she didn't stop the bleeding from the wound, and she never even dodged the blade swung by the dead man.

If it was on the body of the dead man, she could smell her sister's scent keenly; to her, the attack of the dead man was not an injury, but a warm embrace.

How, how could she escape?

Even if the stomach is cut open, even if the chest is penetrated, it will not feel the slightest pain.

Because that's not pain, it's my sister's full 'love'.

Even she was beheading without hesitation, these dolls that smelled like her sister, because they blocked her way to get close to her sister.

"It's coming soon, don't worry, don't worry."

The face is indescribably gentle, but the hands are cruel and ruthless.

No dead man was her opponent, no dead man could survive in her hands, and almost without exception, the dead men who blocked her were dismembered, and all of them were dead.

Even if a stronger individual occasionally appears, it will be frozen first, and then die without resistance.

Even if a dead soldier carrying a coffin appeared, if more than one army of dead soldiers were summoned from the coffin, they would be crushed under the inexplicable invisible attack.

The dead soldiers who could be transferred here were quickly cleared up by Sakura.Seemingly finding that this could not stop Sakura's progress, Herrscher used his ability to erode electronic equipment and control some of the robots that were still under manufacture, hoping to rely on them to replace the dead warriors to delay Sakura's progress.

But unfortunately, Sakura didn't even need to disassemble the robot. The cold generated by the spirit knife was enough to freeze the bearings and gears of the robot, making it incapacitated and turned into ice sculptures.

As a last resort, Herrscher could only move the battlefield, turned it into a piece of data and entered the computer, and accidentally got into a trap laid by someone.

"Don't, let's go, sister, I can't catch up..."

Sakura rushed over with all her strength, but found that there was only an empty shell left here, and the Herrscher himself was no longer here.

She was only supported by a belief, but her body had already come to an end long before that.

Until this moment, under the influence of gradually blurred and dim vision, Sakura regained some sanity:

"What the hell am I doing?"

With her back against the hard metal wall, she sat on the cold floor, but she had completely lost her sense of touch, unable to feel the coldness and hardness.

Still quite accustomed to the ears, it seems that someone is approaching here.Her sense of smell, which hadn't stopped completely, allowed her to smell the slightly familiar smell.

"Are you here? I thought Xier would arrive first."

"..."

It seemed that it was because the decision was made too late, and it was already too late when they arrived here, Teresa could only remain silent, not knowing how to respond.

Sakura didn't think about it that much, she just used her last strength to pick up a string of hand-woven pendants, clumsily tied it to the handle of the spiritual knife, and then handed the spiritual knife to Teresa.

Then she laughed and said:

"do not forget me."

068 "True Lies"

"Hey!"

There seemed to be someone calling her by her ear, but Teresa didn't want to pay attention.

She was just holding the 'Crystal Knife' that no longer released cold air and looked like a handicraft, thinking about a question——

"Am I acting too selfishly?"

When she first entered this dungeon, what she thought was 'that's enough, and it's over in the end', but the more she got in touch with everyone, the more she found that everyone was not just an NPC.

They are all living people of flesh and blood.

But I was ignoring, or in other words, turning a blind eye to their life and death.

like a bell—

In fact, she can stop those people from indiscriminately hurting her. It's not that she doesn't have that kind of strength, but she hesitates because of the problem of gains and losses.

She was afraid that unforeseen things would happen if she changed the plot too much.

For example, before the arrival of the Last Herrscher, everyone including Kevin was already dead, so what if she was left?

She is not Kevin, she does not have the courage to face despair alone even if she is alone.

So she has been trying to restore the plot as much as possible, and restore the plot when she can bear the bottom line-after all, people like Ling who she is not familiar with at all, whether they are alive or dead, are very light.

But Sakura is different.

Although she only met a few times, she still cares about Sakura very much—although not as much as she cares about Hua and MEI.

It wasn't until she witnessed Sakura leave this world in front of her that she began to develop a feeling of:

"Did i do something wrong?"

of......

!!!

A piece of ice was suddenly stuck to her face, which made Teresa almost breathless, and was also driven out of the vicious circle of self-doubt.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know what you're thinking. You don't respond when I talk to you, so I can only do this." Seeing Teresa's hair blown, Hua removed the canned black coffee stuck to her face, Then he buckled the metal ring on the top: "Would you like some?"

"No need." Influenced by a special 'bitter melon juice' made by a school principal, Teresa is very disgusted with all bitter things: "When did you come back?"

"Been back for a while."

Hua didn't specify how long the "a period of time" is, but as long as it is not "a while" or "not long", it means that a long time has passed.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that Hua realized that there was something wrong with Teresa's state, and used a special method to stimulate her.

"What are you thinking, can you tell me?" Hua lowered his head and saw the knife, and knew who it was without asking: "Well, you know. People are mortal, so it's better to be open." .”

"But I could have prevented it."

"Let me ask you—" Hua pressed Teresa's head, and stroked her bangs with her fingers: "What do you mean 'could' have stopped it? Who are you? Do you think you are a master of prophecy? Know what will happen in the future?"

"If you say, I know."

"Well, I want to ask, what will I look like when I get old?"

This - Teresa really didn't know how to answer, because she simply said: "I haven't seen you in old age."

"Does that mean I didn't live to that time?"

"No, you lived to 5 years later."

"Isn't that the old monster?"

"..."

It's nothing new for the old monster to call himself an old monster.

"Who are you lying to with such nonsense?"

"..."

Indeed, it is basically impossible for anyone to believe such words directly to others.

Teresa thought for a while, and confessed one thing: "Actually, I won't die."

"But you will get hurt."

"I mean, when I die, I come back to life."

"But you will get hurt."

"Just, if I resurrect..."

"But you will get hurt."

"Are you a repeater? Don't argue!"

"Yes."

"..."

Although it appeared to be a joke on the surface, Hua actually listened to this sentence, and probably believed it, but the reason for believing it was different from Theresa's situation.

She learned from MEI that the 'Brahma' gene in Teresa has the 'creative power' capable of 'self-regeneration', in other words, it can be resurrected.

But MEI also told her that from a human point of view, this is impossible.

Not to mention that this requires an extremely large and high-concentration Honkai environment, which is equivalent to the level of the birth of Herrscher.The main reason is that if Teresa wants to be resurrected after death, she needs to maintain her self after death, and then rely on this self to manipulate the power of Brahma to complete her own re-creation.

But the question is, where is the self if they are all brain-dead?

and so--

"Stop saying such foolish things, and take care of yourself first."

Pushing Teresa's head so hard that she almost fell on her back, Hua released her and went on to do other things.

Hua naturally walked to a corner where Teresa couldn't see, then turned on the communicator and dialed the number of a person she didn't want to see: "Hey, I have something to tell you—"

Although he said he didn't believe it at all, he was actually skeptical.

It's just that she is not good at thinking about these complicated things, so she can only annoy others—this can be regarded as a kind of revenge.

"—how much of what she says is true do you think?"

Mei didn't answer her right away, but was fiddling with something in the shape of a black box: "I'm a little busy here, please ask Teresa to come over."

"alright."

069 "Xieer is a time traveler??"

"Coming back so soon?"

Teresa, holding the spiritual knife in both hands, saw the painting go back and forth, thinking that she had finished the work.

"No, someone wants to see you, I'll come and let you know."

"Oh."

The 'someone' here, Teresa didn't ask who it was, she could guess it anyway.

But then again...

Want to see why Teresa didn't send a message, but asked Hua to pass it on in person?

Teresa didn't think about this question, and walked wobbly as if she had returned to normal.

"..."

Hua behind looked at her and shook her head, seemingly helpless but didn't care too much.

......

When Teresa arrived at the weapons factory, MEI was still obsessed with 'working overtime' and did not hear the sound of the door being pushed open at all.I didn't notice Teresa until the work came to an end for a while.

"coming?"

"Ah."

As Mei raised her head, Teresa noticed that Mei's bags under the eyes were much darker than before-almost catching up with the Grand Duke. It was the fatigue that even the glasses could not conceal: "You don't look very good."

"Nothing, just a little insomnia."

"Is it just insomnia?"
