Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

Dr. Spassy wore an expression that was more somber than ever before.

"For this mission, all the remaining qualified individuals in the organization have undergone modifications, so this is our last stand. Don't you think so?"

But Spasi didn't get the answer he wanted; the only response he received was a gunshot.

"boom!"

Spassy, ​​who had been hit, clutched his wound and took a few steps back.

"What are you doing?!"

His assistant didn't speak, but simply took off his glasses, and Spassy understood when he saw his pupils.

"That look in your eyes, were you controlled by it?"

The Eighth Herrscher smiled and stuck out her tongue, revealing the 'Consciousness Shackles' on the tip of her tongue.

“That’s right, Doctor. I hid in his consciousness before he took the drug. Now, as long as I destroy the observation hub here, no one will oppose me anymore.”

......

After entering the dream, Su checked her watch. Time in the dream flowed 20 times faster than in reality, giving her 200 minutes to find it.

Su hadn't been searching for long when he heard strange noises coming from behind him.

"Why resist? In the dream I created, you can live together with your loved ones forever. Everyone can live in happiness and joy forever, and die in a beautiful dream... Don't you think this is the best ending for humanity, Dr. Su?"

Sue pointed to the Eighth Lawrence.

"You're wrong, Herrscher. Neither you nor any of us can arbitrarily decide the fate of all humanity."

After speaking, Su glanced at her watch, intending to contact the outside world immediately. As long as their dreams were connected, the Observation Hub could pinpoint the Herrscher's location precisely, provided she could send the message out. But...

Su discovered that her watch had become garbled.

"Dr. Su, you were a step too late. The observation hub has already shut down. Now, enjoy this dream as it comes."

As soon as the Eighth Herrscher finished speaking, many black hands suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed Su.

Su felt his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred, and when it cleared, he saw someone walking towards him...

"Falin...Teacher?"

Farin walked straight over to him and came to his side.

"What are you daydreaming about, you rascal? Today is Annie's discharge day, have you forgotten? Didn't we make a promise? You promised her that if she recovered, you would personally take her home from the hospital."

Su's expression was rather unpleasant.

"teacher......"

Farin smiled and patted Sue on the shoulder.

"Hey kid, what's with that face? Like I'm dead. But... good job, Su. Thanks to you for not giving up, we were able to develop a cure for Honkai. I told you you were capable, haha."

......

"boom!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge, who possessed the assistant, covered his arm and said with some disdain.

"Doctor, I never expected you to still be alive?"

Spassy was holding a gun.

"If you have someone to blame, blame your terrible marksmanship. Now, get out of the control panel, Herrscher!"

"Heh, what if I don't allow it? Doctor. You should know, right? Your subordinate isn't actually dead; he's just living happily in the dream I created for him. What? Would you kill your most trusted subordinate?"

Spassy looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Nonsense, of course I will kill him."

The Eighth Herrscher was somewhat speechless, but he then began to discuss conditions.

"Tch, you're really stubborn. How about this, Doctor? Let's make a deal. Before you die, I can create a dream for you. In the dream, you can see anyone you want to see."

Then the Herrscher smiled and waved his hand, instantly creating countless black shadows that enveloped Dr. Spacie.

"Doctor, there are people you want to see, aren't there? Rather than dying here alone... why not enter the happy dream I've woven for you?"

Spassy snapped out of his daze and looked around. His wife was pouting at him, seemingly unhappy.

"Spacy! Seriously, what are you daydreaming about? Are you still thinking about work? Didn't you promise me you'd put aside your work and spend the whole day with me?"

Spassy rubbed his forehead.

"No, I'm just a little dizzy. It feels like I'm having a dream, and none of this seems real."

His wife stood up and touched his face.

"You're just too tired. Your work is important, but don't push yourself too hard, okay? What if you wear yourself out? I'd be worried about you, hehe. Remember, I'm always here for you."

Yes, you're right.

Spassy pointed to the bushes beside him.

"Hey, assistant, come out here."

His assistant suddenly jumped out of the bushes, startling his wife.

"He...was he with you today too?"

Spassy gave an embarrassed smile.

"Haha, sorry, but he's my personal bodyguard."

Spassy pulled his assistant aside and patted him on the shoulder.

"Today is also a good day. You should leave work early and go home to be with your wife and children."

"Doctor, this isn't in accordance with the rules..."

Spassy slapped his shoulder with his whole arm.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Don't worry, I'll protect myself. Are you going to come along when we go to rest later? Just lend me your gun."

In the midst of their conversation, Spassy received the pistol.

"PhD?"

"boom!"

His wife was shocked to see her assistant, who had been lying on the ground, stand up and ask him a question.

"Sparcy! What are you doing?!"

Spassy remained silent, staring at her coldly.

"boom!"

"Why..."

......

Spassy opened his eyes again, waking up in the large bed with lingering fear.

"Huh...huh..."

His wife woke up beside him.

"Honey, did you have another nightmare?"

Spassy covered his head.

"I had a...very strange dream...in the dream, I shot you, and..."

His wife patted him on the shoulder.

"You must be under a lot of stress lately to be having nightmares so often."

She went to the kitchen and poured Spassy a glass of milk.

"Honey, have a glass of milk and relax. You've been researching treatments for Honkai Impact for the past few years without getting any proper rest. Now that you've found a cure, it's time to let go."

"I remember, you seemed to have Honkai disease..."

"That's all just your overthinking. You've seen too many patients die from Honkai, that's why you have this misconception. Don't worry, I'm still alive and well. I'll always be by your side."

After she finished speaking, she hugged Spassy.

"This dream was so beautiful. So beautiful that I even wanted to stay."

"Honey, what are you saying? This is your home, of course you can stay here forever."

Spassy pulled a kitchen knife from his hand and plunged it into the woman's body, then proceeded to explain to himself.

"Unfortunately, you are not her. I was unable to develop an antidote when she contracted Honkai. When she died, I was unwilling to let her go. If Dr. Mei hadn't cut off my infected left hand, I might have died with them."

The Eighth Herrscher also broke off all pretense of civility.

"Then why? You don't want to accept this dream! Here, you can be with the one you love most, right?"

"No, you're wrong! Herrscher. If I were to immerse myself in a dream, that would be the greatest betrayal of her! I survived, and my only reason for living is revenge. Revenge against the 'Honkai Disease,' revenge against the 'Honkai'!"

......

Spassy's assistant collapsed to the ground, and Spassy dragged his heavy body toward the observation hub.

"This dream has been going on for far too long... Time is running out; we must restart the observation hub immediately. Hang in there, Su..."

......

Sue watched Annie wave goodbye and walk away. Farin, standing beside her, chuckled.

"Thanks to the medicine you invented, Annie was able to recover."

Su clenched her fists.

“I should go now, Professor Farin.”

"Leave? Su, where are you going? There are still many patients waiting for you!"

Sue had her back to Farin

"Thank you for letting me see Professor Farin one more time and speak to him one more time. But I know that none of this is real. Professor Farin... is dead."

Farin grabbed Sue's hand.
