I am in the abyss of Collapse

Siegfried smiled bitterly and thanked "Fu Hua": "Thank you... I won't be sad because I know I am exploring the truth step by step."

When the white-haired man said this, the Herrscher of Consciousness sensed something wrong with Yu Duchen, and one of the remaining five quantum forces gradually weakened, reducing the pressure on the Key of God again.

Shibao looked at Siegfried, who had a smile on his face and a calm expression, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"I'm back!"

Alicia came over, carrying a pink longbow of the same hue as herself, with a familiar bright smile on her face, as if she could maintain such an optimistic attitude at all times.

Siegfried asked, "When are we going to look for clues about the Honkai?"

"It looks like you've all packed up?" Alicia immediately decided, "Let's go now - Padu? Are you going with us?"

Padufils shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary businessman. I won't do such dangerous things."

Seeing the determined attitude of the girl in the cat-ear hood, Alicia shrugged her shoulders, walked out of the institute with Luo Lin, Siegfried and "Fu Hua", and rushed to the place where they found the clues were broken in the morning.

Luo Lin watched the surrounding scene gradually become familiar, and immediately realized that they were heading towards the place where Siegfried had shot open the illusion in the previous reincarnation.

Not long after, Alicia stopped and pointed to a crossroads ahead: "This is where I found the traces of Honkai energy disappeared. Mr. Siegfried, did you feel anything?"

"nothing now."

Siegfried is not the type with keen perception. He originally planned to see if there were any subtle signs of erosion caused by the collapse, but it was daytime now and the streets were bustling with people coming and going. Even if there were such signs, they would not be easy to find now.

Luo Lin compared the surrounding scenes during last night's battle with this place, vaguely found the direction, and slowly walked forward.

Alicia and Siegfried looked at each other and followed Luo Lin.

As for the Herrscher of Consciousness, she was at the end of the team and also felt that the scenery here was very familiar. This sudden sense of déjà vu made Shibao a little confused.

Luo Lin tried hard to recall everything that happened in her last reincarnation. Fortunately, her memory was good and her luck was good. She soon found that a certain window and alley matched her memory.

——This is where I taught Kaslana the gun-fighting technique last time.

The white-haired girl also realized this. She touched the pistol hidden under her clothes and laughed.

Siegfried looked at the smiles on Luo Lin and Kiana's faces and became confused.

"By the way, Siegfried, remember to teach Kiana how to use Kaslana's spear fighting technique. I taught Kiana the basics last time, but your family has done the most thorough research on spear fighting techniques."

"……it is good."

The white-haired man then realized that after he left Kiana in Europe, the white-haired girl had never received a complete and systematic education, either in combat or knowledge.

Kiana had no stable place to stay. She worked part-time to save money for traveling while looking for her missing father. She learned a lot along the way. In the end, she fought back and forth with various Honkai beasts with the one or two moves of Kaslana Spear Fighting that Siegfried taught her when she was a child...

"Qiana, come here, let daddy show you a few tricks..."

"Yeah!"

Kiana ran over happily to watch Siegfried teach.

Luo Lin shook her head and continued walking forward according to her impression. After about a few minutes, she arrived at the destination.

"I feel it, it's this fluctuation of Honkai energy!"

Alicia clapped her hands and said with satisfaction: "You are amazing to find clues from such a distance, Ms. Cecilia! Okay, now I will notify Dr. Mebius and ask her to find a way to evacuate everyone around..."

Siegfried couldn't help but complain: "Aren't you from the research institute? Do you have this kind of power?"

"Oh, don't worry about these details."

On the other side, the Herrscher of Knowledge stared at a certain spot on the ground, and his fingers moved unconsciously - that was exactly the spot where Siegfried had bombarded with [Judgment of Heavenly Fire], without a single mistake.

Shibao subconsciously took out [Yu Duchen]. It was trembling and emitting light, as if attracted by something.

Then, the Honkai energy and quantum energy in Yu Duchen surged, and the Herrscher of Consciousness suppressed it easily, but a little curiosity arose uncontrollably.

"What on earth is in there...?"

Shibao rubbed the surface of the feather. She looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she carefully injected her Honkai energy into the Key of God.

——After all, the erosion of quantum energy is not so serious now, so it should be fine to use [Yu Du Chen] a little bit.

Along with the subtle humming sound of the Key of God, a deep red light emerged from the depths of the pupils of the Herrscher of Consciousness. Her sight suddenly zoomed out, as if she had turned into a third-person perspective, overlooking this fantasy city from the air.

Her vision was moving farther and farther away faster and faster. Within a few seconds, she could no longer find her location, and even the city shrank into an almost invisible dot.

Then, as if penetrating an invisible barrier, the Herrscher of Knowledge's vision was shrouded in black fog, but in this fog there was a being emitting dazzling light.

The light penetrated the thick black fog, causing the Herrscher of Knowledge to squint slightly, unable to see clearly.

The figure was familiar, but... a little strange.

"it's me……?"

————————————————————

A few minutes ago, in Grace's private studio.

Xilin stared blankly at the walls around her. Everywhere was covered with paint smeared by the blue-haired girl. Some of the paint had already dried completely, while others looked like they had just been painted not long ago, emitting a moist smell - even on the ceiling one could see the masterpiece left by Grayshure.

If a sentimental person who likes art sees these things, he or she will probably be shocked by the emotions and artistry in these "graffiti" and will cover his or her chest and faint on the spot.

Unfortunately, Xilin, a country bumpkin, doesn’t know much about this. Her favorite is actually the cartoons on TV, especially the Peppa Pig type, which are simple but interesting...

She just sighed: "Sister Gray Xiu, don't you draw on paper?"

“It’s not easy to draw.”

Grayxiu was a little disappointed: "Inspiration comes very quickly and changes very quickly. The repeated revisions put too much pressure on paper... The institute only provides me with drawing paper, no canvas... So I draw them on the wall."

She paused for a moment, took out a stack of drawing paper from somewhere, and handed it to Xilin: "If Sister Xilin doesn't want to draw on the wall, there is more paper here..."

"Uh, well..."

The purple-haired girl looked at Kosmo for help, but the boy just turned his head away silently and whispered, "...Do as you like, whether it's on paper or on the wall."

Kosmo pressed the switch on the wall, and all the paint on the wall in front of Xilin was cleaned up. After a few seconds, the wall became as clean as new.

"Has it all been cleaned up?!" the purple-haired girl was shocked.

The boy said, "It's cleaned up like this every few days. Grayshu doesn't care about these things."

At this time, Grayshut pushed over a small table from the side, which was full of paints and brushes. The blue-haired girl looked at Celine with anticipation, which made Celine feel a little guilty.

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not a particularly good painter..."

"It's okay, Sister Xilin, I just want to play with you."

Xilin scratched her head, looked at the spacious wall again, and suddenly a sense of pride rose up: "Then I will paint on the wall!"

She grabbed the palette and began to carefully select the paints.

"Add a little of this, um, and a little of this..."

Xilin lightly dipped the pen in paint and drew the first stroke on the wall. She looked at the golden mark and nodded with satisfaction.

"Next..."

Grayshut stared at Celine intently. The purple-haired girl's movements in painting on the wall gradually became unrestrained, and finally entered an unknown state. Celine filled in large clumps of paint, and the brush in her hand danced like flying.

Soon, Xilin's painting began to take shape.

Gold and white embraced each other, falling asleep peacefully on the grass full of flowers and under the starry sky.

The golden girl is no longer alone, and the white girl is no longer out of reach.

She in blue was jumping around, while he in grey was guarding from a distance.

Everything is so beautiful, yet it seems like a hazy light that could go out at any time.

It turned out that this was a dream she never wanted to wake up from.

Grace understood what was going on. She stood up and held the hand of Xilin, who was staring at the painting in a daze.

"Sister... don't be afraid..."

"Grayshu, I don't want to wake up from the dream, I don't want to lose her..."

Xilin closed her eyes and burst into tears.

"Mom Cecilia, sister Kiana, and stinky dad..."

Volume 160: Carrot and stick are most effective: Chapter Chapter "The Herr of Knowledge"

Luo Lin watched a group of people in police uniforms pass by, and many confused people walked out of the building and left the area under the guidance of the Fire Moth staff.

Soon, the originally bustling neighborhood became quiet, and the girl could vaguely hear the noisy sounds coming from afar, which seemed so far away and unreal.

Luo Lin looked around and saw Kiana practicing her fists and feet under Siegfried's instruction. The two pistols seemed to have life, flying up and down around her, ready to point the muzzles where she needed them at any time.

However, the Herrscher of Consciousness seemed silent, even dazed. The frivolous smile on her face disappeared, and she seemed to be struggling with something.

This look actually has the charm of the original Fu Hua.

Luo Lin walked up to Shibao and asked quietly, "Fu Hua, what's wrong?"

“…Nothing.” The Herrscher of Knowledge came back to her senses, her brows relaxed, “It seems that some things around me seem to have a sense of déjà vu, which suddenly brought back old memories…”

The Herrscher of Knowledge slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, Luo Lin, I just noticed that Yu Duchen's condition has improved again - it got better when I was talking to Siegfried."

"Siegfried?"

Luo Lin blinked and guessed: "He chatted with you... Could it be that he wanted to know who I am?"

"Yes, Siegfried seemed to care about your identity, but I fooled him by saying 'she is Otto's person'. After that, the quantum erosion on Yuduchen calmed down."

Shibao counted on his fingers and analyzed: "It seems that as long as Siegfried can be in a better mood, this quantum erosion will dissipate..."

"Yes...but..."

It was natural for Siegfried to be interested in Luo Lin, who looked like Cecilia, but what exactly did he care about?

This is much more difficult than satisfying Kiana. The white-haired dumpling probably wants to have a good meal, find his father, cuddle with beautiful girls, and if possible, enjoy some family activities full of affection...all these were satisfied in the last reincarnation.

Luo Lin made delicious food for her, Siegfried was found by the white-haired ball, Kiana hugged the pink-haired masked girl Sakura, and finally they fought against the endless Honkai beasts...

Wait a minute, is fighting Honkai beasts with her parents considered a loving family activity for Kiana?

"It seems I need to find a chance to talk to Siegfried..."

Luo Lin rubbed the bridge of his nose, his temples throbbing, and he felt genuinely tired.

"Okay, everyone. We have cleared all the people around us. We also have the detectors sent by Mebius and Dr. Mei. They plan to scan and locate the Honkai energy fluctuations here first..."

Alicia walked out at the right time, with a huge machine floating behind her. This thing looked very familiar. Luo Lin thought about it for a while and finally dug up its existence from his distant memory.

“Isn’t this the mobile Houkai energy detector that the Destiny Headquarters sent over when Belarus and the Second Herrscher were fighting?!”

The girl's expression was a little subtle. Although she knew that this fantasy world was mostly made up of her memories and impressions, its arrangement and combination was just too good. At least there was a sense of incongruity until this almost identical Honkai energy detector appeared.

Now that it's here, it looks like the guys who made the illusion were trying to save money by using an old model...

A few minutes later, the voice of Mobius was heard over the communicator. She analyzed the Honkai energy phenomenon at the scene and sounded as if she was inspired by research. Unfortunately, the people present were all combatants, and Mobius' endless explanations passed through their ears without leaving a trace.

Mebius seemed to realize this as well. She paused for a moment and changed her words to a simpler one: "There is a very delicate structure of Honkai energy gathering point here. Although it looks very stable, in fact, it will explode with just a slight 'push'..."

Siegfried asked: "Eruption? Will it cause the collapse?"

"Yes, but thanks to the fact that we discovered its existence before it naturally collapsed, we can find a way to reduce the scale of the collapse and eliminate the accompanying Honkai beasts at the same time."

The sound of typing could be heard from the communicator. It was Mebius calculating something. Soon, she sent the plan to everyone: "As long as there is a strong energy impact, the noise it makes will become smaller. I will deploy some high-energy explosives and try to pile up the equivalent without collapsing the entire block..."

"Wait a minute, you said that a powerful energy shock is all that's needed?" Siegfried took the initiative to speak, interrupting Snake's arrangements.

"Do you have any idea?"

Siegfried took out the [Heavenly Fire Judgement] and merged his two guns in a pretentious manner. The golden-red [Heavenly Fire Greatsword] appeared in the hands of the white-haired man.
