I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

After saying this, the general didn't even look at their reactions. He just grabbed the spear and put it back in his subordinates' hands and said to them, "If anyone dares to get close to you, just arrest them. I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers responded in unison.

"Come on, Mr. Cai, let's go in and take a look."

As he spoke, the general and Mr. Cai walked into the courtyard.

There was complete silence all around, all the people were frightened by the general's move, and coupled with what he had just said, no one dared to gather here to watch the fun, after all, their lives were at stake.

In less than three minutes, everyone had evacuated, leaving only the empty scene and the officers and soldiers who stayed behind.

"Wow, you have some tricks."

Xier praised the general in surprise. Just by drawing a prison on the ground with his own hand, Xier knew that this person's martial arts skills were definitely not bad. After all, no matter how hard the bluestone bricks were to cut, their hardness was still there. To be able to cut them with just a spear, he must not be an ordinary person.

"Then Master, what should we do?"

Xier turned her head and looked at Fu Hua. Everyone around them had left, and only the two of them were left there, standing out very conspicuously.

"It's okay, let's go in and take a look."

Fu Hua didn't have any worries. She only wanted to find out what happened. As for the rest, she didn't care and it was not important. As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Hua walked directly into the encirclement of officers and soldiers.

"Hey! Master...ah?"

Xier was about to call out to Fu Hua, but she found that the soldiers seemed not to have seen Fu Hua. They were completely unaware of Fu Hua who had passed by them. Their eyes were fixed on the front, and they did not realize that they had shot someone.

"This is? Yu Duchen?"

Xier was stunned for a moment and then guessed the reason for this effect. It was definitely Yu Duchen. Only Yu Duchen could control people's minds.

"It's great... so convenient." Looking at the remarkable effect of Yu Duchen, Xier couldn't help but sigh softly. If she had this kind of power, it would be much more convenient for her to act.

"What's so surprising? I can do it, too... The effect of that feather is not as good as mine..."

When Xiao Shi saw Xier so surprised, he couldn't help feeling jealous. She was a living Herrscher of Consciousness. Wasn't she much stronger than Yu Duchen, who was the core of the Herrscher?

"Yes..."

Only then did Xier realize that there was still a Ruler of Consciousness in her body. After all, Yu Duchen was only a part of the Ruler of Consciousness' power.

"But... that's your power, Xiaoshi..."

Xier said with great dilemma that although Xiaoshi was indeed in her body, Xier did not have this ability. Although magic had similar effects, it was very troublesome to cast the spell and it was not as convenient as Yu Duchen.

"We are no match for each other! Isn't my power your power now?"

Xiao Zhi said very proudly: "As long as you want, I can easily make dozens of feathers for you."

"Ah this..."

Xier was dumbfounded. Although she knew that Xiaoshi was right, compared to the dead Yu Duchen, the living Herrscher could indeed create countless feathers with the infinite Honkai energy. It was just a matter of time.

But Xiaoshi, your generous remarks make Yu Duchen look like a nobody.

"Xi'er, aren't you going to follow? The old antique has already gone in."

Xiao Shi woke up the dumbfounded Xier, who then belatedly followed him in.

She was very careful when passing by the soldiers, for fear of disturbing them.

"Why are you being so careful? If you hit them now, they won't react."

Xiao Shi found it funny to see Xier looking like she was going to steal something. How could his ability fail so easily?

"Well... I just have an inexplicable feeling..."

When Xier heard this, she immediately straightened up and walked into the courtyard step by step.

Fu Hua, who had come in earlier, had already started her investigation. She looked around with a serious expression, then closed her eyes and felt the surrounding atmosphere.

Finally, he sighed and said slowly, "The breath of collapse."

Fu Hua felt a little emotional. She hadn't encountered this kind of aura for many years. Since the beginning of this era, she had only found traces of this aura on Chi You. After so many years, this disgusting aura began to act on its own. Although it was still very weak, did it mean that the world had begun to change...

Xier, who didn't know what Fu Hua was thinking, also began her own investigation. Compared to Fu Hua, who relied on sensory experience to investigate, Xier had an extraordinary plug-in - the Herrscher of Consciousness. Although Xiao Shi was only a consciousness body now, she was a Herrscher after all, and the Herrscher had the ability to communicate with Honkai.

"How is it, Xiaoshi?" Xier asked secretly.

"It's indeed the aura of collapse. Is that guy actually becoming active at this time?"

Xiao Zhi said this angrily, without any awareness that he was also a member of Honkai.

"That is to say, here..."

"Yes, the concentration of Honkai energy here is much higher than outside. Fortunately, the technology here is not advanced. If this level of Honkai energy erupts in the future, I'm afraid it will be another great Honkai."

Xiao Shi said with great certainty that although this time the Honkai outbreak only involved this family, this was the low point of Honkai energy. The current Honkai beasts were only born by combining with living creatures, and were not completely transformed. Even the dead soldiers could not be transformed. However, even in this situation, they could still burst out with such power, which was definitely not a trivial matter.

"What should I do now..."

Xier frowned in distress. Does what happened here mean a dangerous message - the Herrscher?

Although the first Herrscher of this era will appear in the future, no one can guarantee that there will be no Pseudo-Herscher of this era. As a candidate for the Herrscher, the conditions for the appearance of the Pseudo-Herscher are much more relaxed. Nowadays, all powerful warriors have the conditions to become Pseudo-Herschers. It only depends on the choice of Honkai Will and personal suitability. Didn't Seele encounter a Pseudo-Herscher before? Although it was smashed to pieces by Fu Hua with one punch.

Just as Xier continued to think about the issue of Honkai, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Tick-Tock"

"Help...help me..."

Chapter 19: Incident (Part 3)

“Save…me”

A slight cry for help woke Xier from her thoughts.

She frowned and listened carefully to the direction where the cry for help came from.

"help me……"

Finally, when the cry for help came again, Xier locked onto his position. Xier looked up and found that it was a small corner and there were many debris blocking the way. Maybe that was why he was not discovered.

Pushing aside those obstacles, Xier finally saw the person who was calling for help. It was a man in knight's clothes, lying in a pile of weeds.

Xier had seen that man before. He was one of the people working in the hotel where Xier was staying. However, she didn't expect that he would become like this in just one day.

"help me……"

When he saw someone coming, a light flashed in his eyes. He had finally waited for someone to come.

"Well, I'll help you."

Although Xier said this, she felt helpless in her heart. It was not that she didn't want to save him, but that the man had been eroded too deeply by the Honkai energy.

Half of his body had been completely transformed, becoming a twisted shape that was neither human nor ghost, while the remaining half had become like a dead soldier. The whole person seemed to have been stiffly spliced ​​together and was completely beyond saving.

If it had been earlier, or if his erosion had not been so severe, Xier would have been able to pull him back with her own strength, but it was too late now.

"Let me first tell you what happened."

Xier gently lifted his head. This was the greatest comfort she could give.

"Someone... suddenly... broke in here..."

The man spoke incoherently, and was obviously very weak, but he still forced himself to speak: "He...he...has a wolf head on his arm...ahem..."

(A wolf head on the arm?)

Xier silently noted down this characteristic. If nothing unexpected happened, the whole incident was caused by that person.

"He was too strong... all of us together... couldn't take him down."

The man seemed to be recalling the scene at that time, with fear in his eyes. He couldn't figure out how someone could be so strong and subdue everyone present by himself.

"Cough cough... cough cough! Cough cough!"

The man's coughing became more and more intense, and it was obvious that his previous words had exhausted all his strength.

"Hey……"

Xier gently placed her hands on his eyes and whispered, "It's okay, go to sleep, it's all over after a good sleep."

(Xier, are you sure?) Xiao Shi said.

(Let's do this. He can't be saved. This is the only way I can end his suffering.)

Xier said with her lips pursed, her fists clenched tightly. Her power was clearly creation, but she was unable to save this man, which made Xier feel extremely uncomfortable.

(All right.)

Xiao Shi also sighed slightly, then casually stroked the man with his hand. An invisible wave covered the man, and a smile appeared on his face, as if he had a beautiful dream.

(I gave him a sweet dream.)

(Thank you.)

(nothing.)

Gently putting the man down, Xier knew that this was not the time to feel bad, the man who caused all this was still at large, and maybe he was planning another incident somewhere.

"Xie'er."

Fu Hua's voice rang out in the courtyard, and Xier hurried to Fu Hua.

"Did you find anything?"

Fu Hua noticed that Xier walked to a corner, and from her expression she knew that she had discovered something.

"Master, I found a...victim, and he provided some clues."

Xier told Fu Hua what had just happened, but concealed Xiao Shi's existence.

"Really... the wolf head symbol."

Fu Hua silently memorized this sign.

"It sounds like someone has triggered a Houkai explosion here, causing the Houkai energy concentration here to reach a certain level, causing everyone present to be corroded."

Fu Hua reconstructed the whole thing.

"Does that mean the person with the wolf head on his arm is a pseudo-hermeneutic?"

Seele guessed that perhaps only a Herrscher could do this.

"uncertain."

Fu Hua shook her head gently. She said, "I looked around here. The concentration of Honkai energy here is high. If it were a Herrscher, he would definitely absorb the Honkai energy to strengthen himself. This is the instinct of the Herrscher. However, the concentration of Honkai energy here is always high, which can continuously cause people to mutate. It's like it was intentional..."

Fu Hua frowned when she said this. Why did this situation resemble Dr. Mei's Stigmata Plan so much?

(Could it be Kevin? No... The Stigma Project is the final guarantee, and SU has already trapped him in the Quantum Sea, so it shouldn't be that easy for him to get out.)

(Is it a coincidence?)

A long-lost feeling of movement arose in Fu Hua's heart, and she instinctively felt that this matter was not simple.

The same guess also occurred in Xier's mind. Although Xier did not understand Dr. Mei's plan, Xiao Shi knew it. She knew everything that Fu Hua knew. She thought of the same thing when Fu Hua told her the results of the investigation.

(Xier, this matter is not simple.) Xiao Shi said in Xier’s heart.

(How do you say it?)

(The concentration of Honkai energy remains high so that it can continue to erode people.)

(Why? What is the purpose of doing this?)

Xier didn't understand what the purpose of doing this was.

(For the Stigmata, if someone has the Stigmata, then they can awaken under the erosion of high concentrations of Honkai energy, thus generating Honkai energy resistance and surviving.) Xiaozhi explained

This answer shocked Xier extremely. If people with stigmata can survive, then what about those without stigmata?

(People without stigmata will die. Using numbers to gain enough combat power is the last resort to fight against Honkai.)

As if seeing Xier's doubt, Xiao Shi continued.

(This is!)

(This is Dr. Mei's Stigmata Project, executed by Kevin Kaslana.)

(Kevin Kaslana?)

Xier was shocked. Isn’t Kevin the ancestor of Kiana?
