On the occasion of collapse

However, no matter how much they have experienced, their emotions will still fluctuate.

They are people, not machines.

Lanya Nightingale Griffin, the former captain of the Seventh Team, was killed by the L06-02 entity when fighting against the Sixth Herrscher.

All that was left to him was this sentence.

and an unnamed tombstone.

I don’t know if it’s because of the twin misfortunes.

Before he could recover from the news of Lanya's death.

The second bad news came.

Himeko, the former captain of the fifth team, was confirmed to be the seventh Herrscher and was killed by Kevin, the captain of the seventh team.

The second one is her.

When he learned the news, he had just finished his research trip and submitted a report on suspected higher-level Honkaimon to the headquarters.

Almost at the same time as he submitted the report, the news came that Himeko had become the Seventh Herrscher.

It was so embarrassing. The moment he learned about it, he almost couldn't stand still.

He felt sad and regretful about Ranya's sacrifice, but the news that Himeko became the Seventh Herrscher gave him nothing but disbelief.

Why would that guy who seemed to be laughing and joking all day long become a Herrscher?

Unbelievable, simply impossible.

But the facts were naked in front of him. Himeko did become the Herrscher and was indeed killed by Kevin.

After accepting this fact, Cheng Xi acted as if nothing had happened and still went out to investigate step by step.

He still quarreled with Qi Mi and still managed the branch.

Until Kevin arrives.

Kevin was transferred by orders from above to assist him in investigating the higher-level Honkaimon.

When he saw Kevin, he even doubted whether the person in front of him was really Kevin.

He knew Kevin. When that guy Lan Ya was still alive, Kevin was his vice-captain.

Now Kevin is the captain.

He still remembered the last time he saw Kevin, before he left for the branch.

At that time, Ranya wasn't dead yet, Himeko hadn't turned into a Herrscher, and although Kevin didn't like to talk, his whole body still had a sunny aura.

But now, the Kevin he saw looked like a middle-aged man who was slowly getting older.

"Hey, Xiao Xi'er, is this the captain who underwent the fusion warrior surgery?" Qi Mi approached him and the captain said.

"He looks so handsome. Does he have a partner? Can we talk?" I don't know why, even though there is nothing wrong with what Qi Mi said, he felt very unhappy when he heard it.

"Why don't you ask yourself?" He choked her as usual. Chengxi also wanted to ask Kevin something, so she stood up.

He learned from Kevin about the risks of fusion warrior surgery.

I also know that my genes have matched several Honkai Beasts.

In other words, becoming a fusion warrior is an inevitable result.

Finally, he returned to the headquarters and chose a Honkai Beast that he couldn't let go of.

[Tail Fire], the Honkai beast that he regretted for several years.

Because of his negligence, Team Six suffered the most serious casualties.

The buds that have been waiting for many years will finally bloom (Qimi)

Time passed quickly, and she had already accepted the fact that Qi Mi became the vice-captain. Anyway, her recent rebuttal was ineffective. Is there any other choice besides accepting?

Moreover, after becoming the vice-captain, wouldn’t there be more reasons to go to Cheng Xi?

Qimi told herself this, and then quickly accepted a lot of sudden tasks.

Wait, a lot of work?

By the time Qi Mi reacted, Cheng Xi had already given Qi Mi the work that originally belonged to him.

And before leaving, you also said cheers, I am very optimistic about your expression.

This made Qi Mi very angry. What did this mean? !Why do you need to add more work to her, you bastard!

But out of anger, Qi Mi still slandered Cheng Xi in a low voice while handling the work bit by bit.

Well, let’s do it along with Cheng Xi’s share.

Yes, just incidentally.

But, in return for helping him with his work, it wasn't strange that she asked him to go shopping with her or something.

It's just shopping, shopping, not a date.

Qi Mi successfully asked Cheng Xi to go shopping with her on the grounds that she had helped Cheng Xi complete the work that originally belonged to him.

Moreover, he also gave Cheng Xi a couple's outfit that he bought a long time ago for him to change into. It was a more subtle one that didn't look very obvious.

However, Cheng Xi put it on without any reaction, which still made Qi Mi feel a little disappointed.

She still wanted Cheng Xi to know that they were wearing couple's clothes, but she was afraid that Cheng Xi would stop accompanying her if she found out.

So I didn't say it. Even if he didn't know, it would be fine if he knew.

Well~just think of it as their first date.

They went to eat a lot of delicious food and played a lot of fun things together.

Walking through the streets and shopping malls.

Qi Mi felt that she had a great time that whole day.

In the end, she gave the dress to Cheng Xi, saying it was in return for him going shopping with her today.

However, she actually hoped that Cheng Xi could wear this dress and walk with her again.

"Ah, no, Qimi, how can you be so humble?"

She patted her face and kept telling herself to be brave.However, she was afraid, she was afraid that if she spoke out, she would not even have the chance to see Cheng Xi.

Is this what it feels like to like someone?

However, this time their relationship became closer, and she even gave him a nickname.

Xiao Xi'er, it sounds nice, right?

Because Chengxi looks very beautiful, just like a girl, and calling her like this is more intimate, isn't it?

The first time she called him that, Cheng Xi actually resisted.

"Cheng Xi, how about I give you a nickname? How about it?" Qi Mi looked at Cheng Xi who was carefully eating a cone beside him, and was a little surprised that the usually fierce captain actually liked to eat ice cream.

"It's best not to." Cheng Xi, who was eating a cone, just raised his head and glanced at Qi Mi, then lowered his head to eat his own cone again.

This made Qi Mi start to doubt herself.

Am I so unattractive? You would rather stare at the cone than at me.

Qi Mi touched her face and felt that she was not ugly.

And some people seem to say that she is a beauty?

"I don't care, I gave you clothes, why don't you give me a nickname?" Qi Mi reached out and tentatively pulled Cheng Xi's hair, and was relieved after finding that he was not angry.

"...I actually don't have to..." Cheng Xi raised his head and looked at Qi Mi to say.

"Just call me Xiao Xi'er!"

.....It seems to be a step too late.

"Don't call me that." Qi Mi's name made Cheng Xi's face feel a little hot, but on the surface, it didn't look strange.

"I don't care, just call me Xiao Xi'er!" Seeing Cheng Xi not getting angry even if she pulled his hair, Qi Mi became a lot more courageous.

Does he consider himself a friend?Absolutely!

Great progress! Great progress!

"...Forget it, as long as you are happy." Seeing Qi Mi deciding on this title, Cheng Xi sighed helplessly.

Anyway, Qi Mi often called Cheng Xi by this title from then on, and he wasn't angry, but only said something back to her occasionally.

Chengxi didn't know it even if he didn't talk back. As soon as he talked back, Qi Mi realized that he couldn't quarrel with Chengxi at all.

No matter what happened, she was left speechless.

It's very discouraging.

Three years, she and Cheng Xi have been working together for more than three years.

This is also her third year as vice-captain.

She was already familiar with the vice-captain's job.

Well, I’m familiar with the captain’s job.

However, because Chengxi's work was taken care of by herself, she had all kinds of reasons for Chengxi to accompany her, such as shopping, eating, and going out on holidays.

Of course, he carries your bags when you go shopping, he pays for meals, and he does the hard work when you go out to play.

Who makes his physical fitness E~

Oh wait, payment seems to have nothing to do with physical fitness.

During this period, she also met another captain, yes, the captain of Team [-] next door. She heard that like Cheng Xi, he left his job to his vice-captain.

Sure enough, unreliability is contagious.

But the interesting thing is that when he learned that Qi Mi had given Cheng Xi a nickname, he laughed for a long time.

He also called out.

Then...

Well, the picture is a bit bloody.

Anyway, the captain of the seventh team lay in the infirmary for two days.

Although he lay down for so long just to be lazy, the nurse said it was just a superficial injury, so he stayed there for two days.

Soon after, they received a long-term mission to Australia to investigate the abnormal Honkai energy reaction there.

It's been a long time since I've been there.

The environment of the branch is much worse than that of the headquarters, and the local cold environment is also very bad. Even those who can adapt to Honkai Impact will have difficulty adapting.I really don’t know how ordinary people in the branch persist.

However, precisely because they are in the branch, many news cannot be known immediately.

For example, the Herrscher battle broke out.

I still remember that it was less than half a year since they left the headquarters.

Cheng Xi was analyzing the sampled data with her, and a communication was sent to Cheng Xi's computer.

Because Qi Mi does most of Cheng Xi's work, this is almost their computer.

I still remember that on the day they received the communication, they were originally conducting sampling outside, but a sudden strong wind forced them to return to the base.

The communication also came through at this time.

She still remembered that Cheng Xi was a little confused when he put on his earphones to answer the call.

The communication was recorded, and she watched Cheng Xi's face darken little by little.

She had never seen him like this.

Cheng Xi's lips were trembling slightly, and her fingers were twitching unconsciously.

His eyes were wandering, as if he heard something incredible.

After a long time, Cheng Xi finished listening to the communication.

He slowly took off his headphones, told Qi Mi that he was going to rest, and left.
