"That's... another story. Anyway, just watch carefully in this illusion, it will allow you to better understand our squad leader and her past," said Wang Chen.

"I understand...but I don't know how long this illusion will last. Is there no way to awaken Fu Hua's memory like I did? So that she can wake up from the illusion." Theresa asked.

"No, you can see that the Fu Hua in front of you is very different from the Fu Hua you know. There is no way to implement memory recovery methods like you, Theresa. For now, we can only continue to follow the illusion and protect Fu Hua. Don't forget, the Corrosion Ruler is still eyeing Fu Hua and wants to corrode her." Wang Chen said.

"I see... After my memory is restored, I can feel that Judas can be used by me again. If Erosion dares to come, I will beat him up then." Theresa said.

"Unfortunately, I've become the only burden in the team and can't help much. Principal Theresa, brother Wang Chen, and the sisters all have to worry about me. Even when I was with Lin before, I could still rely on Lin's strength. Now I can only rely on my brother." Lin sighed after listening.

"How could Lin be a burden? You are the most suitable person to communicate with Fu Hua right now. You can detect her abnormality at the first time and talk to her without any grudges like a friend. In this respect, neither Theresa nor I can compare with you... Especially me. I can feel that this girl Fu Hua has kept a certain distance from me. Because I have demonstrated too much extraordinary power, Fu Hua has an inexplicable awe of me."

As Wang Chen observed along the way, he noticed that Hua was not as close to him as he was at the beginning. After a little thought, he understood the reason.

"So, Lin, the task of paying attention to Fu Hua's mood is now left to you. If there is any situation, let me know as soon as possible." Wang Chen asked. Because of Wang Chen's request, Lin's mood seemed to be much brighter, so she smiled and said, "Then I will go to talk to Sister Hua now?"

"Go ahead. Fu Hua's psychological problems are left to you." Wang Chen nodded.

So, Lin did not interrupt the conversation between Wang Chen and Theresa, but stood up and moved towards Fu Hua and Carol, and quickly joined their conversation.

"What are you going to do when you get to the Fire Moth's headquarters? Didn't they ask you to solve the collapse of Changkong City? Are they asking you to defeat the Herrscher?" Theresa frowned.

"No need. As long as Fu Hua doesn't follow, everything in the world farther away from Fu Hua will be still..." At this moment, Wang Chen told Theresa the scene he had observed before.

"This illusion is different from the world of consciousness space after all. So Theresa, you don't have to worry. What I care more about is when this illusion will last." Wang Chen said.

……

After a long flight, Wang Chen and Theresa had already closed their eyes to rest. Then, Wang Chen opened his eyes and felt that the plane was flying downwards, and it seemed to be landing. As the plane passed through the clouds, it trembled for a while and then stabilized again. At this time, Himiko also came over and said to Wang Chen and others: "We are here. Survivors, follow my team members later. They will take you to the temporary rest area. You will undergo a series of physical examinations later."

"Don't worry, those checks are all for your health. I hope you will carry them out well when you go down." Then Himiko looked at Wang Chen, saluted again, and then said: "Lord Joker, you and Ling will come with me to see the supreme leader of the Fire Moth."

"Supreme leader? At this time, Dr. Mei is still a student and is facing a disaster. So the so-called supreme leaders must be just some old guys. Tsk, I remember that those guys in the plot were stupid and bad. But I shouldn't see those guys. After all, as long as we leave Hua far enough, the world of illusion will stop. At that time, we can just wait and see what happens... Wait? Why did you specifically ask to bring Lin?" Wang Chen suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Take Lin with you? What are you taking her for?" Wang Chen asked with a frown.

"That adult also specifically instructed me to do so. I don't know the details." Himiko shook her head and said.

"..." Wang Chen and Lin behind him exchanged a glance, and Lin also looked strange. At this time, Theresa's voice came from the synchronous link: "You take Lin out of the fantasy world first, and I will take care of Fu Hua first. And if you protect Lin, Lin will be safer."

"This is the only way. Principal, wait for me to come back later." After Wang Chen finished the mental call, he began to think secretly, why did he mention Lin specifically?

……

After finally getting off the plane, Wang Chen couldn't figure out the reason. Wang Chen could only follow Himiko, Lin, Theresa and others and temporarily separated, and followed Jizi's footsteps to walk deeper into the base. Wang Chen looked at the environment along the way. It was worthy of being the Fire Moth, a place where the most advanced technology of the previous civilization was gathered. It was full of science fiction everywhere. Lin looked at the dense metal texture and felt like she had come to a strange new world like the headquarters of the destiny.

Afterwards, Wang Chen had been silently recording the distance between himself and Fu Hua, but Wang Chen was surprised to find that the distance between them had exceeded 1 kilometer. Why hadn't he been able to enter the chaotic and still fantasy world area? He should have left the fantasy area dominated by Fu Hua, right?

"I will not go any further. Only you, Lord Joker, have the authority to enter the area behind. I will wait here for you to come back." Himiko stopped in front of a gate, pointed at the pupil scanner on it, and said.

"Authorization?" Wang Chen came to the pupil scanner with doubt. After a scan, a mechanical voice sounded: "Highest authority: Joker, confirmed." Then, the metal door in front of Wang Chen opened, and a long passage leading down appeared in front of Wang Chen. This scene made Wang Chen even more confused.

Chapter 316 Ying Jieying

Wang Chen finally led Lin to the bottom of the passage. After walking for a distance, Lin couldn't help but look around and said, "Brother Wang Chen, haven't we walked out of the illusion yet? There are only two of us around. Logically speaking, shouldn't we have entered that chaotic space?"

"I don't know. I originally thought that the problem was with Himiko, but now even she is gone, and I have distanced myself from her. Why hasn't the illusion disappeared? Could it be that we have quietly entered a new illusion? And this illusion is targeting another person? Anyway, Lin, hold my hand tightly, and don't let go."

Wang Chen didn't know the reason, so he could only hold Lin's hand to protect her and continue moving forward. But suddenly, Wang Chen felt something wrong. Someone's hidden breath was rushing towards him at a very fast speed, and Wang Chen could sense that the other party's eyes were fixed on him and Lin.

Wang Chen immediately pulled Lin behind him, and just as he was about to draw his weapon to fight the enemy, Wang Chen's hand stopped. Then, a cold knife stabbed at Wang Chen's neck, but just as it was about to hit him, the knife stopped and remained motionless, without piercing any further.

"Why don't you hide?" A familiar female voice came into Wang Chen's ears, and Wang Chen was not surprised at all. The owner of the sword was a pink-haired woman wearing a gradually transparent white shirt and a black and blue short jacket, black and blue hot pants, and white stockings on her right leg. Her identity was almost revealed.

"He has no murderous intent, no hostility, and he's an acquaintance. Why should I hide?" Wang Chen said calmly.

"Even so, you should still be careful. Acquaintances don't mean they can't become enemies. If you are so careless, how can I trust Ling to your care? Especially since the place you took Ling to has experienced a Great Disaster." Ying retracted the blade and sheathed the sword. She looked at Wang Chen with a look of reproach in her eyes, and then said, "Ling is my only sister. If something happens to her, the blade won't just stop at her neck."

"Don't worry, isn't Ling back safe and sound?" Wang Chen pulled Lin out from behind him, and Lin looked at Wang Chen with confusion, and asked through the power of the synchronous link: "What's going on? The Ling you are talking about, are you referring to me? And isn't this Sister Ying?"

"Well, it is probably related to the special identity assigned to you in this illusion. You can pretend to be the sister of Sister Ying first, and I will explain it to you slowly on the way." Wang Chen said as he stared at Lin and began to think deeply.

"Ling, come here and let your sister see you." Ying saw Lin and Wang Chen staring at each other, frowned, and then said.

"Ah...oh." Lin immediately put herself in the role and came to Ying. Ying felt around and then asked Lin to turn around in front of her. She exhaled and immediately hugged Lin in her arms, saying, "I'm glad you're okay... Ling, don't run around next time. Do you know how worried I am? Especially when I heard about the Great Honkai Impact 3rd time. I only have you as my sister... You must not get into any trouble."

"Oh...I got it, sister." Lin didn't know why, but the Ying in front of her gave her a particularly different feeling, as if she really had a sister like this. She could feel the care, love and anxiety this person had for her, which made Lin's nose sore and she almost cried.

"What's wrong with me...Why does this Sister Ying give me such a different feeling?" Lin couldn't help but think.

Lin's performance and mental activities could naturally be sensed by Wang Chen who was linked to them synchronously. However, Wang Chen did not ask, but just watched the reunion of the two sisters silently.

"Achen, thank you for taking care of my troublesome sister all the way. I'm also very sorry, please forgive me for losing my rationality just now." After Ying calmed down, she stood up, bowed to Wang Chen and said.

"It's okay. It was me who brought my sister into danger. The stab was not unfair." Wang Chen waved his hand and said.

"Alas, as her elder sister, I know Ling's personality best. I think she followed you secretly and pestered you. If you didn't take her with you, she would have sneaked off to East Asia by herself." Sakura patted Lin's head, causing Lin to cry out. Sakura shook her head and said, "I'll teach you when we get back. Let's go, Achen. The Supreme Leader is still waiting for us. I'm afraid you'll need to help again this time."

After that, Ying took Lin and Wang Chen and continued to walk forward. "Are we the only two?" Wang Chen followed behind and asked.

"Of course not. Most of the elite members of the Fire Chaser have been sent to the front. If I hadn't stayed to wait for you and Ling to come back, I'm afraid they would have been sent to the front long ago." Ying said slowly, "Anyway, the Supreme Leader will tell you the specific current situation. I only know that you, Achen, will be the commander-in-chief of this operation."

"Okay." Wang Chen nodded and followed him forward.

"Brother Wang Chen, what is going on? Has Sister Ying also lost her memory?" At this time, Lin was finally able to ask questions, so she asked.

"No, she is not the sister Sakura you know. She is the real warrior who fought against Honkai 5 years ago - Sakura, without the surname Yae. But Sakura, like the sister Yae Sakura you know, has a lovely sister. Her name is Ling, the Ling of bell." Wang Chen said.

"Bell...bell..." Lin frowned when she heard this word. Some images flashed through her mind, making her head hurt a little. Lin couldn't help but press her head with her hands.

"Ling? What's wrong with you?" Ying asked hurriedly after sensing that something was wrong with Lin.

"It's okay... just a little headache. It doesn't hurt now." Lin shook her head and said.

"Are you sure, Ling? Be patient for now. When you see the leader later, let her come and check it out for you. Come, lie on your back first, and I'll carry you over." Ying leaned down and turned her back to Lin. Lin didn't hesitate too much and lay on Ying's back. Then Ying turned to Wang Chen and said, "Let's go, Chen. Ling may have some residual sequelae and needs the leader to check it out."

After saying that, Ying quickly ran forward, and Wang Chen quickly followed. However, on the way, Wang Chen's mind became more and more strange: "The so-called leader, it seems that he is not one of those people in the parliament, but a special guy? Mei? But it shouldn't be, the time is wrong. Mei is just a middle school student at this time, and Changkong City is experiencing the third great collapse. How can she become a leader?"

While thinking, Wang Chen stared at Lin, whose expression was painful from time to time, and called out secretly: "Femilis, you really didn't find out Lin's true identity? Is Lin's information so simple? An ordinary student involved? Who is she?"

Chapter 317: The Creation of the Fire-Chasing Moth

"Captain, if you want to ask about Lin, I'm sorry, this is all the information I have about Lin for now. However, there is an unlocking progress bar on Lin. When the captain has collected enough information, Femilis will be able to display relevant information about Lin." Femilis said.

"What? I need to collect information to unlock it? Why is it the same as the resolution of that world?" Wang Chen couldn't help but curse, but because of what Femilis said, he indirectly verified that something was wrong with Lin. In addition, Lin and Ling have the same pronunciation, and the performance just now, if Wang Chen didn't know that the Corrosion Herrscher was the Ling of the previous civilization, he would almost be sure that Lin was Ling.

"We're here." Ying pushed the door open and entered, and Wang Chen followed closely behind her and entered the room. After Wang Chen entered, he observed the surrounding environment. It was very dark. There was only a blue screen in front of him, which seemed to be playing various scenes of fighting with Honkai beasts. In front of the screen, there was a person sitting in a wheelchair with his back to him, so he couldn't see the other person's face.

"Leader, please help me check on my sister Ling. She..." Ying came to the mysterious leader's side and put Lin down. But before she could say a few words, she heard a voice: "Shh..."

Afterwards, Sakura seemed to be stunned. Her whole body did not move, and her pupils lost their spiritual light. She stood there blankly.

"Not good!" Wang Chen, who realized something was wrong, was about to step forward, but found that his body seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move. There was a strange force binding his body.

"Ying, leave the matter of Ling to me. You wait at the door. I have something confidential to discuss with Joker." A woman's voice came from the wheelchair.

"Yes..." Ying responded blankly, and then walked out like a hypnotized puppet, passing by Wang Chen and closing the door. Wang Chen could only watch Ying leave, but could not take any action, because he felt that his body was becoming more and more restrained, and he could not move at all.

"Is this... mind control? In other words, the reason why I can't move is not because my body is restrained, but because I subconsciously prevent myself from moving?" After realizing this, Wang Chen immediately manipulated the power of the source of thoughts and examined his sea of ​​consciousness. Then he discovered the strangeness of his consciousness. There was an extra strange power, and as soon as Wang Chen took action, he saw that the power escaped directly from Wang Chen's consciousness.

Later, Wang Chen found that the sense of restraint on his body had disappeared. Just as he was about to rush to the strange leader, he heard the man say, "It seems that you have remembered how to break free from the control of your mind, my old friend... cough cough cough... Ha, I really miss the current state of this body."

A violent cough sounded, and Wang Chen realized that the voice of the person opposite him was extremely familiar, which prevented Wang Chen from rushing up immediately.

"Sister Jiuxiao!? Why is it you!?"

The exclamation from Lin's synchronous link also confirmed Wang Chen's thoughts. The wheelchair slid and turned around, and the person sitting in the wheelchair was none other than "Henglai Temple Jiuxiao". However, the person was no longer wearing the Qianyu Academy outfit, but a long coat, a dark blue uniform, and white gloves with a cross pattern. On the sleeves of the long coat, there was also an armband with the Fire Chaser Moth logo.

This is exactly the clothes that Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple wore during his previous period as a phantom thief.

"Jiuxiao?" Wang Chen asked tentatively. Because he had established a dominant relationship with Penglai Temple Jiuxiao before, he had already interrupted the synchronous connection with Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. So Wang Chen didn't know whether the person in front of him was the Penglai Temple Jiuxiao who was sucked into the illusion.

"Jiuxiao? Come to think of it, this is not the first time you have called me that, since the first time we met. Although now I know the reason." However, the "Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple" opposite smiled and shook his head and said.

"Ding--"

"Brother Wang Chen!"

I saw a big sword pointing directly at the nose of "Penglai Temple Jiuxiao" and stopped. Seeing this scene, Lin couldn't help but screamed. She thought Wang Chen was going to stab the big sword at "Penglai Temple Jiuxiao".

However, "Penglai Temple Jiuxiao" did not show any sign of surprise. Instead, he continued to look at Wang Chen with a smile and said, "Sorry, it seems that the power I just used has upset you."

"Who are you? You don't look like the person in this illusion. But you are not Jiuxiao either. What is your relationship with Jiuxiao?" Wang Chen said lightly.

"So many questions...how should I answer them. Oh, by the way, can you help me push my wheelchair like you did before? After all, as you can see, my health is not very good... cough cough cough, maybe pushing me like this and taking me for a walk can make me feel more comfortable, and perhaps I can help you solve the confusion in your heart." "Penglai Temple Jiuxiao" said, and coughed a few more times, a trace of illness emerging on his face.

"Your body..." Wang Chen put away the sword. He could see that the opponent's illness was not fake. He used his consciousness to investigate and found that there were many parts of the opponent's body that were eroded by the Honkai Impact 3. Especially the opponent's legs, which were covered with purple Honkai Impact 3 and had completely lost their physiological functions. Just like Wendy, he could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Not to mention the other eroded parts, which are basically devouring the vitality of the person in front of him. If such erosion happened to any ordinary person, he would have been transformed into a dead soldier long ago.

"It's an old problem, it's always been like this... cough cough cough. Anyway, it has never been cured." "Penglai Temple Jiuxiao" shook his head and said.

Seeing that the other party did not have any hostility, Wang Chen came behind "Penglai Temple Jiuxiao", pushed the wheelchair, and walked around the conference room.

"Hmm... it's still as comfortable as before." "Henglai Temple Jiuxiao" closed his eyes and felt the push. He had the illusion that he would fall asleep in the next second. After silently turning around in the conference room for a few times, "Henglai Temple Jiuxiao" opened his eyes and said slowly: "Joker, we have met once not long ago. My name... is Hikari. You can think of me as the holy scar will of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao."

With just one sentence, all of Wang Chen's questions were answered. Wang Chen also remembered that when he was in Sakura Samsara before, he had inadvertently received help from the other party and defeated the Thousand Herrscher in Jiuxiao's consciousness space.

"Are you a being from the pre-civilization era? The supreme leader of the Fire Moths?" Wang Chen asked.

"Well, to be precise, even the Fire Moth was created by me." Hikari said slowly.

"..." This short message has already caused a storm in Wang Chen's mind. He had never heard of such an existence in the civilization before the Collapse.

"Are you surprised? But this is the truth... cough cough cough!" Hikari coughed violently, and then said, "Okay, is there anything else you need me to answer? Here's a hint. You'd better choose three questions carefully, because this illusion is about to end and time is running out."

"The illusion is about to end!?" Wang Chen was shocked.

"Well, this illusion was created by the Herrscher of Corrosion using part of Yu Duchen's power after Yu Duchen was half eroded, in order to erode Hua's spiritual will. The focus of this consciousness is on the blow of Carol's death and the knowledge of her father's death. However, Carol has been saved by you, and with me here, the Herrscher of Corrosion knew there was no hope, so he gave up. So Hua will wake up in this illusion soon, remember to go see her then."

After Hikari finished speaking, he looked up at Wang Chen, stretched out his hand and made the number two, and said, "You still have two questions."

Chapter 318: Wang Chen’s Relationship with the Previous Civilization

After listening to this, Wang Chen pondered for a while, then asked, "The second question is, how to solve the illusion?"

"It seems that you have discovered it. Hua's consciousness is divided into several parts, each with different memories. They just correspond to her past identities, which are also the most painful memories she has sealed for these years. And these consciousnesses naturally enter the corresponding illusions. If you want to solve the latter illusions, you have to do it like now, either help Hua get through it safely, or let Hua realize that she is in an illusion. It's like having a dream, and when you wake up, you will naturally get out of the dream."

Hikari finished speaking slowly, looked at Lin who was still watching from the side, and said: "Joker, push me to Lin's side. By the way, you have one last question... cough cough cough..."

Wang Chen glanced at Lin, then pushed Hikali to Lin's side and asked, "Then... the last question, what is the relationship between me and the former civilization?"

"Oh, this question? Wait a moment, little sister, come here." Hikali waved to Lin. Lin was a little worried, but at Wang Chen's nod, she came to Hikali. Hikali raised his finger with some difficulty and tapped Lin's brow. Then he said, "Little sister, you really want to help your brother Wang Chen, right? Then, I will give you some power. I hope you can use it well."

After she finished speaking, Lin felt her consciousness fall into a coma. Wang Chen immediately stepped forward to support Lin who was about to fall. Then he looked at Hikali, who slowly said, "She's fine. It's just that the question you asked cannot be heard by others."

"Go ahead." Wang Chen checked Lin's physical condition and found that she was indeed fine. Then he looked at Hikali and said.

"You haven't lost your memory. It's just that the time has not come yet. This is your relationship with the previous civilization." Hikaru said.

"What?" Wang Chen frowned. At first, the other party's answer seemed irrelevant, but after thinking carefully, he realized the true meaning: if it was not amnesia, then it proved that he did not travel from the pre-civilization period to the collapsed world and live until now. But the people of the pre-civilization knew him, and Hikari said that the time was not right, so there was only one answer, that it was not the past self who traveled to the pre-civilization period of the collapsed world, but the future...

"Stop!" Suddenly, Hikari pointed his finger at Wang Chen's forehead, interrupting his further thinking. Hikari made a silent gesture and said, "Shh... He has been watching here. He has his eyes on the body of the Corrosion Ruler. Stop here. Cause and effect and fate are involved here, and He must not be aware of it."

"He... is on the Herrscher of Corrosion?" Wang Chen was shocked again when he heard this. Although he had expected this and realized that the Herrscher of Corrosion was now incredibly powerful and completely different from the strength in the original plot, it turned out to be the Will of Honkai Impact 3rd again.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about the things in the last era. After all, not to mention Hua, even the little girl Mei has been hanging around you, right? She will tell you what to do. Then the time is about the same, Ying, bring the people over." Hikari said.

"People? Who?" Wang Chen asked puzzledly.

"A little girl who was supposed to play the role of Mei in this fantasy world. Anyway, the Herrscher in this fantasy world has already run away, so there is no need for her to appear, so I brought her here. You can take her away, and by the way, go and say goodbye to Hua. I also need to take a rest, cough cough cough... give up this body." As he spoke, Hikari coughed a few more times and said.

"Are you...really just Jiuxiao's Holy Mark Will?" Wang Chen could feel it. Although Hikari looked sick, the pressure he brought was stronger than any enemy he had ever seen.

"Are you thinking about me? Ha, I told you, the time is not right yet. Don't worry, my old friend, we will meet again... By then, all your questions will be naturally answered." Having said that, Hikaru closed his eyes, and the oppressive feeling disappeared from Wang Chen's perception.

At this time, the door was opened, and Ying walked in with a girl with purple-black hair and glasses. The girl said, "Master Leader, Master Joker, are you looking for me?"

After Sakura came in, the surrounding environment turned into a stagnant and chaotic state. Even Sakura disappeared, leaving only the frightened and timid-looking "Dr. Mei" in her teenage years.

"So, it's not Mei, but Mei who also lost her memory but is playing a role? This illusion is indeed not related to Fu Hua, but an illusion created by Hikari... The creator of the Fire Moth? Hikari? I've never heard of such a person in the original plot. And he looks exactly like Jiuxiao...& Even if I ask these questions, she may not explain them in detail. It seems that after these things, I have to go to the World Serpent."

Wang Chen suppressed his doubts in his heart, first carrying the unconscious Lin on his back, then pushing Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who was also lying unconscious in a wheelchair, and began to move towards Fu Hua's direction, saying, "Mei, follow me."

"Yes... yes!" Mei was still immersed in the role at this moment. She didn't understand why the meeting room had turned into this state. She could only follow Wang Chen, the only person she knew, to the lounge where Hua was.

……

In the lounge, Hua was feeling a little down. She had just heard some news from other survivors that the disaster, called the Collapse, had affected the entire coastal area of ​​East Asia, and her father's city had also been affected. Moreover, she had not been able to find any survivors from her city.

A very bad thought arose in Hua's heart, which made Hua a little sad. He ignored his friends' comfort and stayed alone in the room. Hua stared at the wall for a long time, until there was a knock on the door, and then the door of Hua's room opened, which made Hua wake up from his trance. Hua looked at the door and saw that the person who came was Wang Chen.

"Mr. Wang Chen..." Hua said softly, "Aren't you ready to go to the front line?"
