What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

That burning sensation threatened to destroy me, and there was no one to share it with me.

With her eyes open, she could hear whispers; with her eyes closed, she could hear loud conspiracies. All she could think about was "stay by my side." She was truly exhausted.

However, when Zhao Si tried to communicate with the other party, it was the other party who hid first and did not dare to answer Zhao Si's questions most of the time.

For example, they might say things like, "Cirin, are you still alive?" "Cirin, are you inside?" "Cirin, come out!" "Cirin, you have the guts to possess me but not the guts to talk to me!"

He was forced into this body, but on the bright side, at least he could hold Sirin back and stop her from going crazy on Earth, right?

Now, Celine is afraid to talk to herself.

"Wow, what's going on here..."

They only dare to tease, and then hide away afterward. Is this a sign of mental degeneration?

"You're the one who's mentally degenerated!"

See, if you say something bad, you'll get immediately refuted. Is this stalking never going to end?

Nothing follows.

Zhao Si regretted it. He wished that Xilin would be like he was when he first came back from the system, rushing over to him as soon as he "woke up," shouting something like "I'll love you even if I die." Wow, that's so girly.

As a result, after being subconsciously rejected, the female ghost broke down and logged off.

It really was that subconscious thought. The moment Zhao Si had the idea of ​​refusing, Xilin sensed it and immediately went offline invisibly.

At least show some of the spirit you had when you were alive! This classic high-attack, low-defense pufferfish is still the same old pufferfish.

"Cirin? Sirin, say something so I can make sure you're alive."

Zhao Si spoke in the empty cockpit of the Quan Zhou Tian cockpit, and after a long while, a voice that was all too familiar resonated from the depths of his heart:

"……squeak."

That's alright, at least it's still attached to me. A deep-seated obsession can't be shaken off in a short time.

In short, communication between NTs is that simple and quick. As long as they can sense each other's feelings, they can understand each other immediately, saving a lot of inefficient verbal communication in the process.

Just like Zhao Si at this moment, he could feel Xilin's love at all times, and she had kept the words she said before her physical body perished.

As intense as the sun, which accounts for over 99% of the mass of the solar system, Zhao Si could feel that Xilin's love also occupied over 99% of her thoughts.

"Cilin, you should come out. You chose to come in first, so stop running away!"

"It's clearly you who's running away! Even now, are you still going to deceive your own heart?"

"Should I be happy about this? I have my own companions on Earth, and it's you who's afraid of gravity!"

"..."

Of course, this also makes communication between NTs seem extra abstract to others.

Just like now, Celine once again chose to remain silent behind closed doors, and Phoenix's pace slowed down as well.

Even though he was possessed by a female ghost, Zhao Si still didn't tolerate the ghost clinging to him; this situation was within his expectations.

“It’s not that I’ve stopped resenting you, Sirin. You can leave now. With your NT abilities, traveling through this solar system and the quantum sea wouldn’t be a problem.”

"No, Zhao Si, you don't want me to leave. You're afraid I'll come back to Earth after I leave. Why are you hiding your feelings from me? Shouldn't you and I be the closest of friends?"

"I've already told you! I still resent you, why don't you understand!"

"I want to love you as much as I hate you, and you can hate me as much as you love me."

"So you understood after all, Sirin?"

"Zhao Si, you were mentally prepared, and I'm mentally prepared now, aren't I?"

"Yes, cacti will bloom one day, but not now. Give me some time."

Zhao Si sat in the cockpit, trying to calm himself down.

He was getting tired of this tug-of-war, and he began to think about how New Types should handle such situations, and how he could better become a New Type himself…

Only NT would think about such troublesome things.

“From today onward, I will share the burden of your sins, Sirin.”

"If you are willing, my soul will be merged into yours."

It's not about integrating into Phoenix, but into Zhao Si.

As Zhao Si nodded, the longing that had been as heavy as a shackle transformed into a warm current, filling his "body".

It wasn't that Celine's feelings had changed; her passion remained unchanged.

Instead, Zhao Si chose to accept it, embracing the sins that were not rightfully his.

By taking in Sirin, he was to inherit her sins, and perhaps he would have to spend his whole life atoning for them.

To save more people, to make up for tragedies that I cannot undo, even if it is just self-satisfying hypocrisy.

We must take Sirin with us, and use her power to save people together.

With this in mind, after flying forward for another hour, Zhao Si encountered Janna, a planetary-level Honkai Beast that appeared out of nowhere.

"Damn it, we've entered a high-level game again."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

PS: There's more to come. I'm still fixing it, still fixing it. I've already started typing on my phone's Bluetooth keyboard. Luckily, I don't need to lead the morning reading tomorrow—no, this morning—so I can keep typing and typing.

Chapter 51: Phoenix After Modernization.jpg

He ran into Janna by chance, and then the system started singing in the channel, making Zhao Si clench his fists.

Why bring up something you shouldn't say? Janna only suffered a blow when she was weak; a reflected laser shot pierced the moon and evaporated 12% of its mass, causing it to fall apart. How can that be compared to Ideana?

Even though Janna is far less terrifying than Ideon, her size is comparable to the Herrscher of the End in Honkai Impact 2, making her an enemy that Zhao Si can currently handle.

[All we know is that if you don't think of something soon, host, you're going to get smashed to pieces by Janna, a planetary-level Honkai Beast in her prime.]

"I know! I'm thinking about it right now."

Release Blaze? Zhao Si was afraid that he would not only be beaten by Janna, but also by the Cocoon of the End, which would follow him by scent.

Gaia v2? To be honest, Zhao Si's body had been lying motionless in the Phoenix cockpit for three or four days. Even though his body had survived the Honkai energy baptism and been strengthened a bit, he was still not eating for a long time. If he could withstand the movement of v2 for 10 seconds, that would be considered a success.

"Let's go, Phoenix!"

"And me and me."

"And Sirin too!"

The final choice was Phoenix, who could be controlled solely through brainwaves.

As for Janna's origin? She might come from the quantum sea, which has an all-encompassing explanation? Or perhaps she was sent there by the Will Ruler through a hole?

Or perhaps the Cocoon of the End could simply open the Honkai Energy Tide Zone and bring in this planetary Honkai Beast, since they are not from the same system at all, so how could the Cocoon tolerate its entry?

Embarrassing and committing adultery.

There were many speculations, but Zhao Si didn't want to think too much about it. He only knew that when he looked at Janna, she was looking at him in the same way.

"Ant, you shouldn't have come to this universe."

The planetary-level Honkai Beast moved. Even though sound couldn't travel in space, Zhao Si could still hear its reply when he tried to stop it.

Is it because of Phoenix? It allows one to convey their own spirit and also receive the spirit of others.

Zhao Si was completely focused. Phoenix exited its previous sub-light speed state and maintained a speed of Mach 100, advancing instead of retreating, closing the distance with Janna's massive body.

He remembered that Canaan could also fly at near-light speed while maintaining its original form. Although it was not as fast as Phoenix, it had the advantage of its large size and the natural defensive capabilities of a planetary Honkai Beast.

Before a direct collision, Zhao Si didn't want to drive the Phoenix at near-light speed towards the other party, fearing that his mech might crash before it could penetrate Janna's defenses.

Zhao Si hasn't found a suitable test subject yet to see how much Phoenix can improve after accepting Sirin. Janna, on the other hand, is a tough and muscular woman, so Zhao Si only needs to worry about whether he will be killed by a single blow.

"Ha, you ant, so eager to die?"

"The last person who called me an ant is now a female ghost!"

When the distance was less than 100 kilometers, Janna flapped her right fleshy wing. It seemed slow, but as we all know, the human eye has a phenomenon called persistence of vision, which means that when an object moves quickly, the human eye retains its image for a period of time.

For large objects, the persistence of vision may be more pronounced due to their larger image size, making the object appear to move more slowly.

"soon!"

Phoenix's attempt to close the distance by rushing straight to the center gate was interrupted. Two armored DEs flew out from behind him, and beams of light with power no less than that of a Magnum rifle shot out from the top cannon muzzle.

Zhao Si's heart sank when he saw that the two beams of light only entered Janna's body but did not penetrate her right wing.

After Earth, including the Herrscher core explosion, left, the energy from the explosion was enveloped in Phoenix after the two activated their psychoframe, repairing not only the damage to the machine but also the two damaged armor DEs from the explosion.

Unfortunately, weapons such as Magnum and rocket launchers were long ago destroyed by Zhao Si and abandoned on the moon. Otherwise, they could have been restored while the light wings that modified the physical rules were still around.

However, there's not much need for Magnum and rocket launchers now. As a major user of Newtypes, the psychic energy blades emitted by Zhao Si and Xilin are sufficient substitutes.

"Heh, you dare to say something as stupid as telling me to get off Earth just because of the damage from a mere tickle?"

The planetary-level Honkai Beast emitted a disdainful mental signal, casually gathering power in its mouth, even able to use the Honkai energy of this universe.

If a single charged shot from Earth could pierce the Moon when the opponent is weakened, then in his current full-power form, Zhao Si has no doubt that the opponent could use it to pierce the Earth.

Phoenix couldn't withstand that, and Zhao Si immediately propelled his machine away from the cannon that Janna was spewing out. The next second after he dodged, the Honkai energy cannon swept away a 100-kilometer-long pile of meteorites, leaving a faint hole in the desolate universe.

Clearly, although the planetary-level Honkai Beast does not enjoy any power in this solar system, it is itself the most terrifying weapon.

A powerful brick can fly; that's all there is to it.

"You dodge so quickly, you ant!"

Zhao Si had a prior warning of the beam of light that was instantly emitted from Janna's abdomen. At the same time that the beams were fired simultaneously, Phoenix flapped his left wing towards Janna and flew away.
