The Dimensional Book of Collapse

After having lunch with Xier at the old place, Qin Mo took Xier to the door of Natasha's clinic through Zhichi Tianya.

I didn't see Daxier coming over during this time, so I guess she was busy.

"Doctor Natasha, we are back."

No matter what time it is, Natasha is busy, but this time she doesn't seem to be busy taking care of patients, but sewing a plush toy.

"Does Dr. Natasha also make toys?"

"It's a skill I inherited from when I ran an orphanage in Rivet Town. After all, those children won't sleep well without toys."

Natasha replied with a smile, without stopping her hands.

Although it is only a semi-finished product, it can be seen that the toys are as exquisite as the goods sold in stores. If Natasha were not a doctor, she could definitely open a store to sell toys.

But it turns out that...

"Did Dr. Natasha run an orphanage?"

Natasha nodded. "Yes, the tallest building in Rivet Town is the orphanage. Unfortunately, after the fall of Rivet Town, the orphanage has naturally closed down."

"You came here suddenly, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, we have already solved the problem about the special medicine."

As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, Natasha stopped the action that she had not stopped when she was speaking.

"Solved? You guys aren't hurt, are you?"

"It's okay. Those world-shattering monsters can't hurt me. Or rather, they can't even get close to me."

After hearing what Qin Mo said, Natasha stared at Qin Mo and Xier for a while before she breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't do such risky things in the future. The monsters on the periphery of the rift are relatively weak, but there are still relatively strong monsters in the depths."

"Thank you very much though. How did you solve it?"

"I led the Rift Creature to their door, scared them away, and then went in and burned the medicine."

Hearing Qin Mo's words, Natasha sighed: "It's good this way. After being scared by the creatures of the Rift, they shouldn't do such dangerous things again."

Qin Mo nodded. He had the same idea.

"And this way they won't put the blame on you, Doctor Natasha. After all, it was the Rift Creatures that attacked them."

"That doesn't matter, but this is still too risky. I'd better not do it next time..."

In the middle of the conversation, Natasha's clinic was suddenly pushed open.

"Doctor Natasha! Come and help! There was a conflict between the wanderers and the miners, and many people were injured."

A strange male miner spoke loudly at the door, panting.

"What!?"

Natasha stood up and put down the doll in her hand.

"Sorry, let's talk next time. Something happened at the mine."

Natasha apologized to Qin Mo and Xier with some regret.

"It's okay, but let's come and help. Doctor Natasha, you can't take care of it all by yourself."

Natasha hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble."

When the four men arrived at the large mining area, they saw a large group of people confronting each other, and many injured or even unconscious people were lying on the ground.

"Nata, you're here."

Seeing the four people coming, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties with a beard walked over.

"Oleg, what's going on?"

Oleg shook his head. "The situation is not optimistic. The Rangers have blocked the passage with obstacles and are preventing the miners from leaving. Several conflicts have broken out, but fortunately no one has died."

"Hey, gather all the wounded together, I'll help treat them."

Natasha sighed helplessly: "What is the cause of this conflict?"

"Because a wanderer discovered a large mineral vein, and then told Antonina's mining team about it, some other wanderers were dissatisfied. They thought that the mineral vein should belong to the wanderers, so they attacked the mining team and stole the supplies."

"Is that so? Then I have no choice but to treat the wounded."

Oleg nodded and said, "Leave this to us. We will transport the wounded out. I'll leave the rest to you."

After a brief conversation, Natasha brought Qin Mo and Xier to an open space where many miners were already lying there wailing.

"Oh no, there are so many injured people and I don't have enough medical supplies."

Natasha looked at the wounded all over the ground, and then looked at the medical bag on her body, which was obviously not enough for so many wounded.

"Qin Mo, could you please help me get those medical supplies from my clinic?"

Looking at the wounded all over the ground, Qin Mo shook his head: "No need to be so troublesome."

This place is quite some distance from Natasha's clinic, and it will take at least dozens of minutes to go back and forth, but if Qin Mo uses his abilities.

Natasha saw a passage opening up in front of her, and at the other end of the passage was... her own clinic.

"This is……"

"As you can see, I can't go through, otherwise the passage will be closed. I can only trouble Dr. Natasha to find someone else for help."

Doctor Natasha nodded. She glanced at Xier, but thinking that she had never seen Qin Mo and Xier separated, she did not ask Xier for help. She took a few miners who were taking care of the wounded through the passage into the clinic, and soon came back with a large pile of alcohol bandages and painkillers.

What happens next is much simpler.

Qin Mo also has some medical skills, so he helps Natasha deal with the injured.

"Angie, I need some clean water."

Natasha spoke to a miner who was helping her while taking care of the wounded.

"Ah, Dr. Natasha, the only clean water we have here is drinking water, there is no more."

Just when the two were in trouble, Qin Mo sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had to reveal too much today. However, this place was not like Orario which would be noticed by the gods. Qin Mo observed for a while and found that although his strength could not be said to be able to do anything at will, he did not need to be so timid.

"Let me do it. Help me find a clean bucket or basin."

Anjie looked at Qin Mo in surprise for a while, and then went to find a basin at Natasha's urging.

When she came back, she saw Qin Mo holding a kettle in his hand.

As the kettle in his hand was tilted, water flowed out continuously and soon filled half a basin with water.

"Okay, come find me if you need anything else."

Chapter 29: Creation and Decline

"Brother Qin Mo, they look so painful."

Xier leaned on Qin Mo's side. Because she didn't want to hinder Qin Mo's treatment of the wounded, she didn't hold Qin Mo's hand as usual. When she saw the miners on the ground making painful sounds because of their injuries, the kind-hearted girl would unconsciously worry about them too.

“That’s why we need to treat them.”

Looking at the wounded lying all around, Qin Mo said to Xier.

"Xier, you can try to use your ability to heal them."

"Treatment?"

Xier blinked her eyes. Although she had not told Qin Mo about the ability of her stigma, after seeing so many magical methods of Qin Mo, Xier was not surprised that Qin Mo knew the ability of her stigma.

"But what should Xi'er do?"

Seele is not a person who pursues power, nor will she continuously develop her abilities and potential like Dio.

So even though she possesses enormous power, Xier does not know how to use it, or rather, she only uses it in the most superficial ways.

"The stigma on your body is the mark of the Herrscher of Death from the previous civilization. Of course, the real power of this Herrscher is to control creation and withering, but the Herrscher of Death from the previous civilization only used the power of withering, so he was named the Herrscher of Death."

Qin Mo said as he recalled the information he had seen about Xier and combined it with his own understanding.

"So although this stigma is not as powerful as the Herrscher himself, it should also have the abilities of both creation and decay. You are better at fighting, so you should master the ability of decay. As for Xi'er, I think you should be able to master the power of creation."

Xier looked down at her chest. Although she was still young, her chest was already of a certain size. In the middle, there was a purple symbol.

Stigmata... This is a power that Seele has had since she could remember.

But she never tried to master that part of power. That power has always been in the hands of another self that she once regarded as a devil.

Because, that is the power to hurt others, and she has always believed that that power belongs to another self.

"Brother Qin Mo, do you know what this stigma is?"

Xier wants to understand the nature of this innate power...

"Yes, it was created by a person named Mei from the previous civilization. It allows people to adapt to the Honkai and resist the power of Honkai. Dr. Mei sealed the wisdom and power of the previous civilization in the stigmata and passed it down through blood. I have seen another person with stigmata, her name is Raiden Mei. The stigmata on her body have the power of the Herrscher of Thunder."

"Dr. Mei..."

This was the first time Xier heard this name, but she was relieved when she knew that the ability she possessed was not an evil force.

"By the way, regarding the other you, in my opinion, it is not something that exists naturally in the stigmata, but a consciousness created by the power of the stigmata in order to protect you, Seele. She is both you and not you, just like creation and decay, life and death, they are opposite to each other, but also two sides of the same coin."

Regarding the black Xier in Xier's body, Qin Mo once heard that it was the consciousness of the Herrscher of Death of the previous civilization. However, no matter whether it was the performance in the plot or Qin Mo's contact during this period, Qin Mo discovered that the black Xier did not have the so-called memory of the previous civilization. Her memory, like Hill's, was a bit like the Herrscher consciousness in Mei, but it was not controlled by the Honkai consciousness. It can be said that it was a Xier with a different personality.

"You guy! What the hell are you talking about with Xi'er!"

Qin Mo had just finished speaking when he saw Xier's eyes suddenly turn red and she grabbed Qin Mo.

"Long time no see, Xi'er."

Qin Mo was not afraid of Hei Xier's "threat" at all, and even greeted her calmly.

"What do you know about me? You obviously know nothing! I..."

“I know a lot.”

Qin Mo suddenly interrupted Hei Xier and put his hand on her head: "She is also Xier, you are also Xier, you are all Xier, isn't that enough? Or do you want a name of your own so that I can tell you apart?"

"Xi'er is growing up day by day. This power belongs to her. Sooner or later, she will no longer need me and will be able to fully master this power. When she can fully master the power of this body, I will..."

"Do you want to separate from Xi'er? If that day comes, I will prepare a new body for you."

Seeing Hei Xier's somewhat surprised look, Qin Mo smiled and said, "Or do you think I can't do it?"

"Or do you want to be treated as an independent being? Just like the two Xi'er, you two are opposites but also one. I'll just call you Black Xi'er and White Xi'er."

"What are you talking about! Can you please listen to me? Forget it! I won't talk to you anymore!"

Hei Xier disappeared after saying something in panic, and her pupils turned back to their original blue.

"So, Brother Qin Mo and Xi'er have such a good relationship?"

【Who has a good relationship with him! 】

"That's about right. After all, when you were asleep, Hei Xier often came to me for a 'heart-to-heart talk'."

【Who wants to talk to you? 】

Listening to the cowardly voice coming from Hei Xier in her spiritual space, Bai Xier also smiled.

"I'm worried that Brother Qin Mo won't be able to accept Xi'er's situation."

"How could that be? There are many people like you in St. Freya Academy. You will know when I take you back."

Qin Mo touched Xier's head and said, "Compared to this, the wounded are still waiting for treatment. Does Xier have a way to control the power of creation?"

"Xi'er will try her best!"

Hei Xier's use of power has always been the withering part, in simple terms, it is the power to hurt others.

So Bai Xier never tried to control that power, but after hearing Qin Mo's words, Bai Xier realized that this power was not just for hurting others.

Unfortunately, even though the power of collapse is more idealistic, it cannot be achieved overnight. Bai Xier tried for a long time but was unable to use the power of creation.

Qin Mo and his team had already bandaged the wounds of all the wounded.

Seeing that Qin Mo and Natasha had completed the task, Xier spoke to Qin Mo with some apology.

"I'm sorry, Brother Qin Mo, I failed."
