The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Although I told Jizi that I would spend some time to tidy up the bedroom, but when I said tidying up, it was actually just roughly laying the floor, which wouldn't take much time at all.

Then, before everyone else finished their shower... he walked to the desk next to the window, opened the drawer, and then took out the storage box in the drawer.

Since the third Honkai outbreak until now, because various things have been happening all the time, except for being forcibly replaced as a bridge guard by Kiana [Hersher of the Fire], Li Shubai has not even opened his smartphone for the second time.

But today, after completing the South China Sea mission with Ji Zi and the others, Li Shubai, who regained his own power, finally had time to open this smartphone that could only run Honkai Impact 3rd again.

...No, now, probably we can’t call it a smart phone anymore, Li Shubai laughed and shook his head.

After regaining his power, although his memory had not yet fully recovered, Li Shubai could almost see through what this smartphone was at a glance.

This thing is not something that originally existed in the world of collapse.

But...it is a product that is concretely manifested by one's own will.

What on earth am I? When facing the captain, Li Shubai had thought about this question, but now it seems that he is indeed a time traveler.

only……

After constantly experiencing failures and repeating meaningless things, I gradually lost myself... Li Shubai thought so, and at the same time, he felt a chill down his spine.

If that's the case, then how much time did I spend on it?

The power of time is indeed very strong. Except for patients with hyperthymesia like Fu Hua, most people cannot remember completely what happened a few years ago.

However, did his plan succeed? Li Shubai's eyes flickered slightly. Finally, he put the mobile phone back into his storage box, put it in the drawer, and then took out another thing from it.

That thing was the holy mark that Xilin used to fix the space.

If Li Shubai's speculation is correct, the reason why he split his consciousness into two and then sacrificed his superego should be to achieve something that he had never been able to do before.

What was it that I couldn't do in the past? If I simply changed life and death, or the fate of an individual, I should have been able to do it a long time ago.

If someone is about to die, then as long as he or she agrees to accept him or her onto the Hyperion before he or she loses his or her life, the future of death can naturally be avoided.

For example, stargazing, and Himeko Muruta on the Hyperion, all of their lives were saved because I once did this.

If it were just this kind of thing, Li Shubai could have done it before defeating the captain.

Yulandel and Rita, who took the initiative to tell him that they hoped to join the Hyperion and were accepted by him, and then left this world the next second, are ironclad evidence.

The reason why Yulandel and Rita were able to return to this world was not because of something as simple as the power of the void, but because of... the privilege of being a [crew member].

All the crew members of the Hyperion have the power to freely travel between the Hyperion and their original world. Therefore, after solving the problem of the world bubble and the problem of Yulandel losing her memory, Yulandel and Rita quickly returned to their original world and successfully reunited with Li Shubai and his team.

But... those who possess this power do not include those who are about to die in the original world.

After leaving the Huang Empire, Guanxing could never return to her hometown, nor would she see her prime minister again.

Similarly, on the Hyperion, Memento Himeko [True Scarlet Knight Eclipse], who once challenged the Herrscher of the Void and completed the final lesson with Kiana, fell into the imaginary space and was brought back to the Hyperion by herself. She, too, could never return to be with Kiana in that world.

Because, for that world, the death of Himeko Muliangta was an unchangeable fact. Similarly, for Kiana Kaslana of that world, her teacher had indeed died irreparably.

I can change the fate of others, but I cannot change the tragedy that is about to happen. This is the dilemma I once encountered.

After repeating the redemption that was not allowed by the world, in order to change this, I once did everything I could, but in the end, I found that I had been doing useless work.

Therefore, I planned this wonderful show.

In order to break through the shackles of absolute rationality and discover possibilities that are not allowed by the world, for that tiny possibility, I once pressed my life into the barrel of a gun without hesitation.

And now, it's time to reap the rewards.

Knock, knock, knock. There was a sudden rapid knock on the door. Li Shubai thought for half a second, hid the holy mark that Xilin used to fix the space under the quilt, then walked to the door and opened it.

Ji Zi, wearing a loose bathrobe, wiped her hair with a towel in one hand, and slowly put down the other hand that was knocking on the door.

"Have you finished cleaning?" She glanced at the dormitory and was a little surprised. "It's quite clean. I never knew you were such a good guy at taking care of your life."

"...If you are used as an example, there is probably no one in this world who can't take care of himself." Li Shubai complained casually.

As a result, as soon as the complaint fell, Ji Zi immediately showed a somewhat suspicious look.

"How do you know I can't take care of myself?" Ji Zi asked puzzledly, "Before today, I hadn't even moved into this dormitory."

Li Shubai rolled his eyes after choking on his mouth. "That's because your behavior is already unkempt enough. I don't even need to guess that you can't take care of your room."

Li Shubai's self-righteous attitude made Ji Zi feel that the problem was not with him, but with herself.

"...Is it that obvious?" After a brief silence, Ji Zi wrinkled her tall nose and said hesitantly: "I don't think my behavior is as excessive as you say."

"It's just that you don't feel it." Li Shubai said calmly, "At least, most teachers won't complain about not having wine to drink when they have dinner with their students."

"Uh..." After being touched on a sore spot, Ji Zi was speechless for a moment, shrugged helplessly, and walked into the room, "Well, maybe this approach is indeed a bit excessive."

"Just be aware of this." Li Shubai walked out of the room and said to Ji Zi who entered the room without looking back, "Also, don't go to bed before your hair is dry. I'm going to take a shower first."

Just as she was about to sit on the bed, Ji Zi stopped herself abruptly. She turned her gaze and looked at Li Shubai's back with twitching eyes. She muttered guiltily: "Why is this brat so immature? He keeps nagging like an old woman? Who is the elder anyway?"

Chapter 4: Don't Make Promises to People Casually (k)

Eleven o'clock at night.

After picking up a bath towel and a change of pajamas, Li Shubai walked along the corridor on the second floor towards the bathroom.

As a result, the moment Li Shubai passed by a room.

With a click, the door was suddenly opened with the sound of the doorknob turning.

At the same time, a small arm rushed out of the room.

"Hmm?" Hearing the unusual movement around him, Li Shubai subconsciously shifted his gaze over.

As a result, he saw a small hand holding his arm and a petite silver-haired girl.

The moment Li Shubai passed by Youlandel's bedroom, Theresa suddenly seized the opportunity for some reason, opened the door at once, and grabbed Li Shubai's arm without saying a word.

"Huh? Wait——" Then, before Li Shubai could react, a huge pulling force from his arms dragged him into the room without any resistance.

The scene was as if Yulandel's room had swallowed Li Shubai's body alive.

The next second, the door slammed shut again, and the dormitory corridor was immersed in silence again, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

"——Wait..." After being dragged into Yulandel's room by Theresa without any warning, Li Shubai suddenly shut his mouth.

Skin mixed with white fabric came into his sight, and his nose was filled with the charming fragrance of a young girl.

Yulandel and Kiana, who were sitting beside the bed, and Theresa, who had just pulled him into the room, were all wearing only loose bathrobes. They stared at Li Shubai's face with their equally beautiful blue eyes with different expressions.

There is no doubt that this is Yulandel's room.

Theresa, Kiana and Yulandel had just finished taking a shower not long ago.

"...Uh, this...that?" Looking at the beautiful scenery before his eyes, Li Shubai swallowed his saliva and said dryly, "Anyway...good...evening?"

“Puchi.” Looking at Li Shubai’s somewhat embarrassed appearance, Kiana suddenly let out a clear and pleasant laugh like a silver bell, “What…what good evening, hahahaha…”

"Kiana, don't be so rude." Yulandel quickly touched Kiana's arm with her shoulder, but Li Shubai clearly saw that the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly raise a hint of joy, and she was obviously amused by her own stupid reaction.

Li Shubai rolled his eyes and felt weak all over.

He spread out his five fingers and supported his face. He was embarrassed enough anyway, so he just gave up and said, "So, what do you want to say when you suddenly pulled me into the room? You can't just come to laugh at me, right?"

If someone nodded here, he would turn around and leave immediately! The bad woman who played with other people's innocence should go to hell!

"Ah, you misunderstood." Theresa blushed, not daring to laugh like Kiana and Yulandel, but coughed and snorted, "It's my fault for suddenly dragging you in, but I have something I want to confirm with you."

"What's the matter?" Li Shubai asked.

"That's... that..." Theresa glanced at Yulandel, and after organizing her words a little, she said, "Yulandel told me that the reason she left the Tianming Headquarters was because someone helped her solve a problem that had troubled her for a long time."

"So?" Li Shubai was a little puzzled. "Why are you looking for me for something like this? If you want to know the details, why don't you just ask Youlan Daier? You should also know that during the two days when Youlan Daier disappeared, I stayed in Saint Freya and didn't leave."

"It's because Yulandel refused to tell me, so I came to ask you." Theresa looked at Yulandel helplessly, then turned her gaze back to Li Shubai.

For some reason, after taking a look at Yulandel, Li Shubai always felt that Theresa's eyes looked at him strangely, as if he had kidnapped her beloved child. He felt resentful, but he didn't dare to be too hostile because the child was right next to him.

"Although Yulandel never told me where she would go after leaving the Tianming Headquarters, when I asked her if she wanted to stay in St. Freya's College first, she accepted my proposal." Theresa stared at Li Shubai's face and said dimly, "In other words, the power or superior she chose should be someone in our St. Freya's College."

"Uh..." Feeling Theresa's piercing gaze, Li Shubai scratched his head, speechless.

"And Jizi also told me that whether it was the Herrscher of the Sky, Sirin, who suddenly appeared in the South Sea and seemed to have no intention of harming others, or the long-haired woman who looked exactly like Rita, they all came for you." Theresa sighed, "Although I don't care about your personal privacy, but...if possible, can you tell me what's going on?"

After that, perhaps fearing that Li Shubai might misunderstand her meaning, Theresa quickly added: "Don't worry, now that I know you have no hostility towards any of us, both Kiana and Yulandel trust you very much, I also do not distrust you, nor do I intend to force you to tell me everything."

“…” Li Shubai looked into Theresa’s eyes.

In those azure eyes as deep as the boundless sky, Li Shubai saw pleading, exploration, and endless worry, but he did not see any hostility directed towards him.

"I'm sorry, Captain." At this moment, Yulandel suddenly stood up from the bed. She walked to Theresa's side, bowed deeply to Li Shubai, and tried her best to express her apology in her words. "I am lucky to have your help, but... I failed to completely conceal the facts about you. If I have troubled you, please forgive me."

"What...Yulandel, you..." Theresa was a little anxious. Out of concern for her relatives, she really wanted to get to know the superior chosen by Yulandel better, but she never intended to put Li Shubai and Yulandel in a difficult position because of this.

Just when Theresa decided to give up pursuing the truth, Li Shubai reached out and held Yulandel's shoulder.

"Why do you guys like to talk to yourselves so much?" Li Shubai sighed, feeling a little discouraged and slightly angry. "Or are the people of the Kaslana clan just as stubborn as you? Do I look like an unreasonable person?"

Although Li Shubai scolded her in an annoyed tone, Theresa was not angry at all. Instead, she raised her head suddenly and looked at Li Shubai with hopeful eyes; "That means..."

"It's human nature to worry about your loved ones. After knowing that Youlandel suddenly withdrew from the Tianming headquarters, I can completely understand that you feel worried about me." Li Shubai said, "So, I don't care about your exploration and questions. Not all questions are malicious. Since we both know that neither side has hostility towards the other, why can't we have a good talk?"

"..." Theresa breathed a sigh of relief, "Then..."

"Aunt, are you going to let Shubai just stand there before we start talking?" Suddenly, Kiana interrupted Theresa impatiently. She stood up and came to the middle of the three people, then grabbed Li Shubai and Yulandel's hands, and pulled them to Yulandel's bed without saying anything, muttering in dissatisfaction: "Can't you sit down and talk it over?"

Although I want to say, "I'm still worried about you, right?" But what Kiana said does make sense. Theresa thought about it, walked to the bed helplessly, and admitted her mistake bluntly: "Indeed, I lost my composure. It wasn't a very complicated matter, but I made it so troublesome."

"Let's not talk about that for now." Since they had started a serious discussion, Li Shubai naturally got into work mode. He first lightly brushed off Theresa's self-blame for the meaningless discussion, and then started the conversation in a calm tone: "Before we start, let me make one thing clear. If you want to ask about what Yulandel experienced in the past two days, then ask her directly, because I am not an insider."

"What happened on the ship...can you tell Senior Theresa here?" Yulandel was a little hesitant.

This senior Theresa here? Theresa's ears moved slightly, and she quietly memorized Yulandel's description in her heart.

"No problem, just go ahead and tell me. I have no objection." Li Shubai shrugged and said indifferently, "But I suggest you talk to Theresa privately tonight. Given her personality, she will probably get to the bottom of everything, whether meaningful or meaningless. That would be a waste of time to discuss."

At this time, Li Shubai had not yet realized the consequences of his promise.

Not long after, he wanted to go back to this point in time countless times and slap himself hard for making this promise.

"...I, I won't do that!" Theresa felt a little embarrassed that Li Shubai had seen through her behavior pattern, and she couldn't help but protest subconsciously.

Li Shubai glanced at Theresa calmly. Once he entered the working state, his brain automatically filtered out useless information. Therefore, he ignored Theresa's protest and asked directly: "Besides Youlan Daier's experience in the past two days, what else do you want to ask?"

"What is your relationship with Youlandel?" Although Theresa was a little unhappy about being ignored by Li Shubai, she had to admit that it was really comfortable to follow the rhythm of Li Shubai's conversation.

Once he got serious, Li Shubai gave Theresa the feeling that he was not like a young student at all, but rather like a negotiation expert with strong thinking ability.

"It's a relationship between superiors and subordinates based on the principle of exchanging interests." Li Shubai said, "I lend all the power I can to Yulandel, and in exchange, Yulandel also gives me her power. Other than that..."

After a short silence, Li Shubai said hesitantly: "Personally, I regard her as a very reliable friend, but I don't know what she thinks."

"You are a very good person." Yulandel said quickly, "It would be a great honor for me to gain your friendship."

Li Shubai didn't know that after hearing his words, Youlandel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief deep in her heart.

During these two days, when Yulandel was with another self [Tianyuan Qiying] on the Hyperion, she learned a lot about Li Shubai from her.

For example, this guy likes to give his Valkyries some ridiculous nicknames, such as the Ultimate Invincible Giant Cute Qibao, the Cooking Lady, the Silly Goose, and the Goose Aotian...

For example, at certain times, he would suddenly become a different person and say some extremely embarrassing lines to his Valkyrie, such as "Rita is my wife!", "I will always love Yulandel!"... and so on.

According to [Tianyuan Qiying], after hearing Li Shubai's words "I will always love Youlan Dai'er", she even thought of the name of her and Li Shubai's child. But later she found out that... that guy was just talking nonsense, and he said this to every Valkyrie, which made [Tianyuan Qiying] so angry that she almost stabbed him through with her lance...

[Tianyuan Qiying] obviously likes Li Shubai, and she has not hidden this fact at all. Yulandel can see it at a glance.

After spending the past two days with Hyperion, Yulandel no longer resisted the fact that [Tianyuan Qiying] was her future self. Instead, she readily accepted the fact that her future self would become him.

There is nothing wrong with becoming a [Gengen Rider], and that is exactly what Yulandel did. Therefore, with the help of other Valkyries on the Hyperion, she obtained the power of the Holy Mark without encountering many obstacles, and could also freely transform into the same posture as Gengen Rider.

But the question is, if Li Shubai said at this time, "Yulandai'er is my wife", what should I do?

Youlan Daier was actually quite uneasy about this question. But for some reason, after hearing Li Shubai's normal answer, she felt relieved, but also started to feel anxious.

Li Shubai was not aware of Yulandel's complicated thoughts. After getting Yulandel's affirmation, he nodded and said to Theresa: "Now you understand the relationship between Yulandel and me, right? What's the next question?"

Chapter 4: Theresa of the original world, Kiana of the original world, join the team (k)

After hearing Li Shubai's question, Theresa suddenly fell silent.

She glanced at Kiana, then glanced at Yulan Daier and Li Shubai, who were sitting side by side with Kiana holding their hands. She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then mustered up her courage, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart as much as possible, and asked tentatively: "How much do you know about Kiana?"

"Anyway, I know more than you do." Li Shubai turned his head and glanced at Kiana, who was not shaken by Theresa's words, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
