People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

At this time, in the system space.

"Perfect. I know that the more experienced a person is, the more they trust their own knowledge and judgment."

Xia Ling waved her hand excitedly and said to the system triumphantly, "Look, is it as I said? Theresa herself will make up a lot of stories about my life based on her understanding of the Quantum Sea and the World Bubble. Look at her apologetic look."

[Boss Xia Ling is fun to play with.]

[However, you are not going to leave yourself in front of her dying, leaving her with regrets for the rest of her life, right?]

Xia Ling looked at the system with an indescribable expression: "You said I was funny, you know a lot."

"But, there's no need. This would be too deliberate. Under the current circumstances, I just need to go out and explain everything to Theresa, and then tell her that I'm homeless. It will be easy for me to get a job at Saint Freya."

"The only problem is that I try not to let Otto notice me... Unlike Theresa and Anti-Entropy, Otto's research on the Sea of ​​Trees system is not something I can get away with."

[However, as the host comes into contact with the three great families, it is inevitable that you will enter Otto's sight. Moreover, during this period of time, Fu Hua is still Otto's spy. ]

"Well... I only have some preliminary ideas. How to do it specifically depends on which operator my first character card will be after entering the academy."

Chapter 14 Picked up a homeless girl

As time went by, the Honkai energy that Yuno forcibly added began to dissipate, and the vine riot gradually weakened.

During this time, Theresa came out of the Oath of Judas to check several times, while Xia Ling was observing the situation on the playground in the system space.

Finally, after more than an hour, the vines on the playground stopped spreading and attacking crazily, but fell limply on the playground as if they had lost their support.

"It seems that the remaining Honkai energy in these vines has finally dissipated."

[Does the host want to leave now? 】

"Well, it's time to wake Theresa up."

As the scene in front of her eyes changed, Xia Ling had been teleported to the playground of Qianyu College by the system.

"Wow, this place has suddenly turned from an aristocratic college into a nature reserve."

Xia Ling poked the fallen vines on the ground, but there was no movement from the vines, and even the deadly poison on them disappeared.

"As expected, the poison that can knock down Theresa cannot be the vines' own poison. In the final analysis, it is Yuno's own Honkai energy characteristics, which are simply transmitted by attaching to the vines."

"Once Yuno dies, everything will naturally dissipate."

Looking around, Xia Ling easily found the Oath of Judas standing on the playground.

The glittering golden cross was not affected by any vine riots and remained brand new, bright, and standing as before.

Xia Ling raised her hand and knocked on the outer shell of the cross: "Theresa, don't sleep anymore, it's time to get up."

There was an immediate mechanical sound from inside the cross, and then the cross opened and Theresa crawled out from inside.

"Are you okay? That's great." Seeing that Xia Ling was safe and sound, and even had the mind to come and call her, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief.

As the dean of St. Freya College, she could tell at a glance that the girl was the type with some self-destructive tendencies. Combined with her speculation about the girl's situation, she had been a little worried about whether something would happen to the girl.

If Xia Ling knew what Theresa was thinking at this moment, she would definitely feel very aggrieved. Her self-destructive tendencies and indifference to life and death were all the aftereffects of dying too many times in the system.

"Have these vines lost their vitality?"

Then, Theresa saw a scene on the playground that looked like a primeval forest.

"Yes, that's right. I just tried it, and the poison attached to these vines has disappeared. There will be no problem if I leave it alone."

"You tried it yourself?!" Theresa was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and immediately shouted angrily, "What are you thinking? I don't even dare to touch her poison!"

"Don't worry, I don't care about this kind of thing." Facing Theresa's rebuke, Xia Ling just shook her head expressionlessly: "You must have a lot of doubts, let's find a place to talk slowly."

Having said that, Xia Ling started walking away on her own.

"You..." Theresa opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and followed silently.

......

More than ten minutes later, under the guidance of Xia Ling, the two came to a familiar rooftop.

That’s right, it’s Origin Plateau, but unfortunately there are no wormholes and Eternal Crater (thick fog) at that time.

"Does this count as a pilgrimage?" Xia Ling asked in her heart.

[I think the host should wait until he becomes a complete form here before coming back.]

"It's okay, it doesn't affect anything. Remember to save a few photos in the system."

【Ah? Host, what are you going to do? 】

"After Mei commits domestic violence, I can use these photos to tease her."

[Okay, okay, I hope the host won't repeat the mistakes of the black swan, teasing bud 1 confidently, and then becoming a jail goose. ]

【It’s getting better, isn’t it.jpg】

"Just here..."

Xia Ling came to the railing of the rooftop and looked at Theresa behind her.

"Will you ask first or should I?"

"How about one question each? I'll ask you first." Theresa pressed her swollen brows and said, "After all, I'm the person in charge of an area here. Investigating suspicious people should be my job."

"It's all right. I don't have anything to ask anyway." Xia Ling shrugged.

"So, first of all, who are you and why are you there when Yuno and I are fighting."

"My name is Xia Ling." Xia Ling answered without hesitation: "As for my identity... a time traveler, a wanderer, a fugitive, whatever you want to understand."

"And the reason why I appeared there... I'm not sure about that, because I didn't deliberately set any landing point when I came to this world. I think it's probably because the concentration of Honkai energy is relatively high in the place where you fought."

"Then it's my turn. Are you Theresa? Although I know that there are often similar people in different worlds, I still want to get confirmation from the person herself."

"I am, my name is Theresa Apokalis, do you, know me?"

"It might not be you, the one I know... I just wanted to make sure I didn't help the wrong person. Since you are Theresa, it doesn't matter."

It seems that she has a good relationship with Theresa in her original world... Theresa pursed her lips. She wanted to comfort Xia Ling, but she didn't know how to start.

Finally, Theresa sighed and continued to ask, "How did you come to our world? You made such a loud noise when you teleported here just now, but why do you look so...weak?"

"Because I am carrying a very powerful thing bound to me. Hmm... it may be similar in nature to your cross. It is a rare thing in the entire civilization."

"It can take me through the barrier between worlds, but the effect is very unstable. It may take a long time to recover after using it this time."

"As for my strength...it's not a big problem. I think it will recover a lot after a while."

The system is indeed a rare thing in the entire civilization, and it really took me on a journey... As for my strength, after I reach Elite 2, I will say that this is my original strength.

Coming from some other world or world bubble, and the situation in that world might not be very good, she was seriously injured but could recover, and had a certain ability to travel through the quantum sea... In Theresa's mind, Xia Ling's image gradually took shape.

"Okay, you ask next."

"I don't have anything else to ask. If possible, just tell me about the situation in your world." Xia Ling said lightly.

"If you have anything else you want to ask, feel free to ask."

"Um... where are you going next?"

"I don't have anywhere to go, just somewhere I can stay awake."

"Hey, aren't you planning on going home? It seems like your traveling to our world was an accident, right?"

Theresa looked at Xia Ling and felt a little nervous. Although this issue might cause trouble again, as the head of the Far East branch, she had to be responsible for the entire Far East region.

It is a necessary task for her to find out the next goal of this visitor from another world.

"Home..." Xia Ling showed a somewhat lonely expression: "I may no longer have a home."

Chapter 15 Theresa: I deserve to die

Theresa was silent.

She felt that she might not be able to sleep tonight.

"Um, you mean, you have nowhere to go now?"

"……no."

"I can also hide back in the space where I hid from the vines before. There, I can see the same scenery as home, but there is no one."

Theresa felt even more guilty. If she left the girl here alone, she might wake up in the middle of the night and slap herself.

"If, if you don't mind." Theresa looked at Xia Ling: "You can come to work in my college."

Xia Ling seemed to be a little moved, but she still pursed her lips and shook her head: "I don't even know the basic knowledge of your world. I can't cause you any more trouble."

"That's not a problem! You can learn common sense quickly!" Theresa tried hard to promote her college: "Our college has good infrastructure and friendly students. You can live in a big villa with me, and the salary...salary will be paid normally."

Xia Ling almost couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard Theresa's last sentence.

"But...will it really not cause you any trouble? If you are worried about my ability to survive, you don't have to worry. I have very strong survival skills in the wild."

Especially in a snowy environment. Xia Ling added silently in her heart.

"..."

How can anyone feel at ease if you say that! Theresa roared in her heart. However, what she said was completely different from what she thought.

"It's okay, it's okay. My niece is here with me recently. She just skips classes and sleeps all day. Even if you can come and help me look after her, it will be a great help!"

Hmm? Being close to Chong Chong? And being able to discipline Chong Chong harshly! This condition hit Xia Ling, a member of the Twisted Qi Chef, hard.

"Okay...if you need my help, feel free to ask." Xia Ling pondered for a moment: "And...forget it, let's talk about this later."

[Host, why are you acting like a riddle teller now? 】

"No, I was planning to give her a collapse paradigm or a cipher board to save her life, but I can't explain it clearly now, so I'd better keep it a secret."

Xia Ling replied in her mind: "After all, there are some situations where I may not have a reasonable reason to come forward, but Theresa is different."

"You agreed? That's great." Theresa's eyes lit up: "Then you can come with me to the transport plane back to the academy later. I will introduce Ji Zi to you then."

"Himeko?"

"Yes, an older single auntie who is my right-hand man in the Far East."

Old... Single at an older age... You really dare to say that...

"System, did you record this sentence?"

[Don't worry, host. I don't know you yet, but I've already prepared for this. ]

Xia Ling began to try hard to hold back her laughter again.

Fortunately, her character at the moment is that of an emotionally indifferent girl, so it won't be a problem even if she doesn't talk much.

"By the way, let me take this opportunity to give you some basic information about this world."

After Theresa called the transport plane, she started chatting with Xia Ling with great interest: "You can also tell me what is different about your world. Maybe there is a lot of knowledge that you don't need to relearn."

[Wow, host, didn’t you say Theresa is very smart? She is testing you.]

"I'm just saying that he's not smart, but after all, he's about to reach the age of fifty, and his life experience is there for all to see." Xia Ling complained in his heart.

"What's more, this kind of testing is necessary. People tend to believe in the conclusions they draw, and the things she tested were easy for me because I really came from another world."

……

"Your children only sleep six hours a day? This is too terrible... St. Freya only has six hours of classes a day."

"I can't help it... The environment is different. After all, we don't have physical training courses like Saint Freya's."

"But you seem to be pretty good at math, maybe you can give Kiana some tutoring?"

"I'd be happy to help. Maybe I'll even take part in your history class. After all, the differences in history are quite large."

"Yes, that's right. That's not a problem. I didn't expect that Tesla and Einstein in your country are both men. This is really... It's a pity that there are no photos, otherwise I would really like to see them."

Just as the two were talking happily, a strange buzzing sound came from the sky. In the distance, a small black transport plane slowly landed on the playground of Qianyu College. Then, a red figure jumped out of the plane.

"My goodness, Theresa, did you get the Black Abyss White Flower? Or are you planning to change your job to a gardener?"

Looking at the vines all over the playground, Ji Zi's mouth twitched.

"This has nothing to do with me. It's all thanks to that pseudo-herrscher. If this herrscher is willing to devote himself to environmental protection, he might soon become world-famous."

Theresa and Xia Ling walked slowly towards them from a distance.
