The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Wait, if that's the case, then what about those heroes on his ship? Li Shubai frowned, suddenly confused.

He had always thought that the heroes currently on the Hyperion - Alicia, Aponia, Sakura, Mebius, and Padofilius - were not real heroes, but memories from the paradise of the past.

The reason why he made such a judgment was because of the existence of the can.

As the captain of the Hyperion, even if he lost his past memories, he still had an accurate understanding of his crew. He could recognize all the Hyperion members and clearly understood their current situation. In his understanding, Padofilis, who had already joined the Hyperion, had cans by his side.

But at the same time, Li Shubai also knew that in reality, Padofelice did not have a cat, so if they were not memories of the past paradise, Padofelice would not have a cat named Can following her around.

Could it be that the existence of the can led to my wrong judgment?

Are Alicia and Eden on his ship not actually memories, but real heroes?

Indeed, from the moment she came to this world... whether it was Fu Hua whom she met on the Hyperion, or Kevin who was the last line of defense at the entrance of Paradise, or the memories of Kevin, Eden, Su, Aponia, and Velvet in the past Paradise... when they saw Alicia, the judgment they made was... this was the real Alicia herself, not something like a memory.

Even Alicia's own memory, when seeing Alicia on his ship, acknowledged and accepted the fact that the real him was still alive with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Do you have any strange feelings?" After pondering for a moment, Li Shubai asked Wei Wei, "That is, after becoming a member of Hyperion, you should have more knowledge in your mind, right?"

"An extra piece of knowledge?" Even the step of thinking was omitted. Wei Wei nodded without any hesitation: "Are you referring to the authority and method to freely go to Hyperion? I have already accepted it. It is really a convenient tool."

"Eh?" The unexpected answer made Li Shubai a little stunned. "Wait, you mean... now you can freely go back and forth to the Hyperion?"

"As the captain, you don't know it yourself?" Wei Wei showed a surprised expression, "I thought this was the authority you granted me after you recognized me, so I ignored it."

"..." Li Shubai was dumbfounded. That wasn't right. If one hadn't experienced it once, it wouldn't be that easy to get familiar with and use this kind of complicated authority that transcended time and space...

"Anyway, from my perspective." Velvet put the magic hat back on her head and pondered for a moment. "Just now, after you agreed to let me join the Hyperion, my data seemed to have been updated by the main body."

"The memory was updated again by the original body?" Li Shubai was stunned.

He suddenly understood why Velvet was not teleported to his Hyperion immediately.

At the moment when Wei Wei's memory and he reached a consensus - the real Wei Wei had actually replaced this memory and was transported to his ship without knowing it? The corners of his mouth twitched, and he covered his forehead with his hands, somewhat helplessly complaining.

If that's the case, then when did the real "Vilvi" who was teleported to the Hyperion come from? Li Shubai, who felt that he had unintentionally dug a bottomless pit for himself, thought to himself with some fatigue.

Forget it, I'll let my future self deal with this kind of thing. As for now... let him face the situation in front of him first.

"Since you have become my Valkyrie...so, what do you think of this plan?" Li Shubai asked.

"Although spoilers are a taboo for showrunners, but... this rule doesn't apply to scriptwriters, right?" Weiwei shrugged, and a somewhat exaggerated smile suddenly appeared on her face. "However, before I tell you what I'm going to do... our captain, I wonder... can you give me some small convenience?"

"Convenience?" Li Shubai pondered for a moment, "You might as well be more direct."

"My request is simple." Wei Wei smiled, "I wonder if you can lend me some of the God's Keys that only exist in the real world... for a while?"

"...Which ones do you want to use?" Li Shubai asked cautiously.

"Hmm, let me think about it..." Weiwei raised her finger and tapped her fair facial skin, then shook her finger beside her face and said with a smile: "'Consciousness', 'Destruction', 'Erosion'... and 'Devouring', these four will do! If you don't mind, you can also lend me a few 'Domination'."

"..."After listening to Wei Erwei's request, Li Shubai's head started to hurt again.

At this moment, his sight seemed to have traveled through 50,000 years of time, and met with the sight of a certain cold-faced scientist who had calmly cut 80% of Weiwei's engineering material budget after the internal launch of the Fourth God's Key. They both caught a deep sense of identification from each other's sight.

Preface, Dr. Mei in heaven.

You actually left 20% of the budget for this kind of guy?

"It's no problem to lend it to you. As for the God's Keys, I do have quite a few." After a long sigh, Li Shubai rubbed his brows and said with great exhaustion: "... But after all, these are dangerous things like the God's Keys. Before that, don't you have to explain to me what you are going to do with them? Let's not talk about the other ones for now, but the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire... you don't have the conditions to use it."

"Since we are applying for a budget, I have of course prepared a specific budget usage plan." There is a play! Knowing that Li Shubai did not reject her, Wei Erwei coughed happily, "Then the next moment will be an exciting moment. The great play will appear in the world for the first time. My dear captain, please don't be stingy with your exclamations and applause, because this will be..."

"Pay attention to the time, Wei Erwei." Li Shubai interrupted Wei Erwei's speech feebly, "This is not the podium for you to give a personal speech. You just need to tell me what you are going to do."

Her speech was interrupted, but after all, the person who interrupted her was her financial sponsor at this stage, so Wei Liwei quickly restrained her personality.

"By the way, Alicia." Suddenly, she turned her gaze to Alicia, with a happy smile on her face, "Do you still remember the promise I made to you?"

"Hmm?" The topic suddenly shifted to herself. Alicia was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Wei Weiwei... have you always kept this matter in your heart?"

[Your secret, I also hope, can be opened in the most grand way.]

[Then... leave in the best possible way.]

About ten minutes later, after listening to the entire plan constructed by Wei Erwei, Li Shubai pondered for a moment and had to admit... he was successfully convinced by Wei Erwei's imagination.

He said calmly, "'Consciousness' can only lend you one of the three thousand pieces; 'Destruction' can temporarily lend you one of the two gun forms; 'Corrosion'... I can help you contact Sakura and Hiyamaru who are using it now, and you can ask them if they are willing to lend it to you. If they don't agree, I can't do anything; 'Devouring' is the same as 'Destruction', I can only lend you one of the two gun forms, as for 'Domination'..."

Li Shubai raised his arm and extended his index and middle fingers: "I can lend you two at most, no more than that."

As a result, the two fingers that had just been stretched out were tightly grasped by a pair of hands wrapped in brown gloves.

As Alicia's eyes were getting darker and darker, Wilvi held Li Shubai's hand with shining eyes, and pressed forward as if she wanted to pounce on Li Shubai. The heels of her over-the-knee boots extended far away from the ground in an exaggerated arc, and her beautiful blue and white pupils seemed to be filled with tears.

"Good man! Captain! I seem to be falling in love with you!"

"Let me go!" Alicia roared in a tone that was extremely inconsistent with her personal image.

Chapter 4: People in the Play - Thousand Tribulations (k)

Although Alicia was somewhat upset by Vilvi's sudden intimate behavior, Li Shubai himself did not have any sexy thoughts because of Vilvi's actions.

Because he always felt that the way this girl looked at him was indescribably weird, it was like a gourmet looking at a juicy roast chicken with shining eyes and a face full of anticipation, while as the shivering roast chicken... Li Shubai had no other thoughts except a chill down his spine.

He pried open Wei Wei's fingers that were tightly clenched on his palm one by one, pointed at her upturned nose, and said unhappily: "Let me make it clear first, I can lend you the Key of God, but you must not do anything big for me. You must meet my two needs, otherwise you will blame me for changing my mind."

“Yes, yes, yes.” Wei Erwei nodded rapidly. She patted her soft white skin and said confidently, “Don’t worry! With these divine keys, not to mention Qian Jie, even Kevin can’t detect our play!”

At the same time, outside the Eternal Paradise, in the dim hall of Paradise, Raiden Mei slowly opened her confused eyes.

In front of him was the ceiling that he had become very familiar with in the past few days. His body felt a little cold because he had just woken up. In the empty hall of Paradise, there was only one person besides him.

Class monitor...? The moment she saw that person, Mei Raiden suddenly felt dazed, but after realizing that this was still the paradise of the past, she quickly came to her senses: "...Hua?"

Hua took a look at Mei's body, and after confirming that she was fine, he nodded calmly: "You're awake."

For some reason, Mei Raiden always felt that Hua's gaze towards her was a little strange. But now her brain, which was still occupied by the dizziness, made it difficult for her to grasp the exact situation. Although her physical condition seemed to be fine and her hands and feet could move freely, her forehead was aching as if she had a fever.

Not only that... my memories since I collapsed during the trial of the paradise are all hazy. Although I have fallen into a coma before, this is the first time that even my memories before falling into a coma have become vague.

"Hmm..." Holding her burning head, Mei Raiden struggled to stand up, "Hua... How much time has passed?"

"It's only been about an hour since I saw you." Hua looked up and down at Mei Raiden, who was struggling to stand, and a trace of barely perceptible apology flashed in his eyes: "But it seems that you have already collapsed here."

Mei Raiden nodded, then closed her eyes and rubbed her brow with a finger, trying to calm the burning and tingling in her brain. She searched for the memories before she fell into the coma in her fuzzy mind: "Before I lost consciousness, I remember fighting against endless monsters in the paradise. Could it be that I unconsciously logged out of the [Trial] after I fell down..."

"By the way, Hua, what's the situation in Paradise now?" After thinking fruitlessly, Mei Raiden opened her eyes again and looked at Hua's face with an inquiring gaze, "Regarding Alicia..."

"The situation in Paradise..." Hua was silent for a moment. "Even if we describe it as not optimistic, it seems to be a little insufficient to describe the situation we are facing now."

"Has the situation gotten worse again?" asked Raiden Mei.

"Yeah." Hua nodded, "Let's talk while we walk. How is your physical condition now? Can you still move normally?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy." Raiden Mei tried to turn her limbs and body. "I don't feel any injuries, and I still have enough physical strength. As long as I get used to this dizzy feeling, it will be no problem to fight right away. But... go? Where are we going?"

"Leave the paradise." Hua's tone was more serious than ever before, so serious that even Raiden Mei was stunned. "Mei, you must leave here immediately. There is no time to waste."

Although the tone was so serious, for some reason, Mei Raiden always felt that Hua's gaze seemed a little vague.

Out of trust in Hua, Mei Raiden only thought that the current situation was so serious that even Hua was a little uneasy, so she did not question Hua's decision, but showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and shook her head gently: "Sorry, I can't do this now."

"..." Although he breathed a sigh of relief, after hearing Mei's assertion, he still forced himself to put on a puzzled expression, "Why?"

"Because the path to reality has been cut off." Raiden Mei frowned and bit her thumb anxiously. "From the results, I seem to be trapped here. Now whether I have completely lost the privilege of logging out of the paradise after defeat... I am afraid it is not something that can be verified rashly."

"Is there something wrong in reality?" Hua pretended to be in deep thought, while carefully paying attention to Raiden Mei's sight, fearing that he would miss any flaws in a moment of carelessness, "Or is it that someone inside the paradise did it deliberately?"

Of course Hua knew the reason why Raiden Mei couldn't leave the paradise. It was precisely because she knew that Raiden Mei was trapped here by Alicia that she couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, and she prayed desperately that the conversation could be faster.

In this way, when you enter the eternal paradise again, you can be gloriously liberated.

"I'm also planning to find a chance to confirm this, but before that." It seemed that the dizziness and burning pain had improved a lot. Raiden Mei loosened her brows, her eyes serious and confused, "Hua, what exactly happened in the paradise?"

"It has come to this, Mei, you should come with me." Hua, realizing that he finally didn't have to continue acting alone, couldn't wait to open the entrance to the paradise, "At least if we travel together, we will both be safer."

The moment when the two passed through the gate of paradise and re-entered the eternal paradise.

Everything within sight was occupied by endless flames.

Explosions sounded one after another, and hot air mixed with sparks hit our faces.

"This is..." Seeing the tragic scene in front of her, Mei Raiden frowned deeply, "Qianjie? Is he going crazy again?"

"It's not just that." Hua took a step forward in the hot wind with ease. "If it was just Qianjie's madness, then it would be nothing but [common], and it would not be a serious matter for us. But the real problem now is that among the Thirteen Heroes, the one who can deal with this situation safely is no longer here."

The person who could handle this situation properly is no longer here? Raiden Mei's eyelids twitched slightly as she followed Hua's steps.

This description gave her a very bad... and very unbelievable premonition.

"Good! This is better!"

Before Mei Raiden saw Qianjie's figure, his loud roar spread from the direction of the park far away.

Mei Raiden's expression was slightly stiff, and she focused all her attention on her eyes. While quickly approaching the direction of the park, she observed from afar Qianjie, who was wrapped in blazing flames, and the situation in his vicinity.

“Come on! Don’t waste time!” Just as Raiden Mei had expected, Qianjie was surrounded by an indescribable murderous intent and anger. He stood in front of all the other heroes present, like a roaring lion, “None of you is qualified to be my opponent!”

"The typewriter has not made the same judgment as last time." As the only warrior among all the people present, besides Qianjie, who specializes in frontal combat, Kosmo replaced his bad habit of using ellipsis to communicate with others with normal language for the first time in a long time.

Without hesitation, he stood in front of Gray Xiu, who was trembling with anger from Qianjie, and used all his strength to resist the rage from Qianjie, "We should not be hasty."

“Huh, is that so?” Qianjie sneered, not trying to hide his anger at all, and said in a tone that was extremely sarcastic, “Isn’t the blind man next to you very special here? If this incident had not happened at all, do you think he would still be like this now? Like a dead person?”

Su pursed his lips. Although he did not open his eyes, at the moment when Qianjie jumped on his face madly, he still raised his head and looked at Hua who was running towards him quickly from a distance.

"..."

"..."

One with his eyes closed, the other with a helpless look, Hua and Su, both people with extremely high moral standards and some uncontrollable psychological pressure when it comes to acting, both developed a wonderful sense of empathy for each other at this moment.

Only this time, they both understood Qianjie's madness, and were even deeply touched by it.

After all, they all knew that neither Sakura, Alicia, nor Kevin had actually encountered any trouble, and the reason why Qianjie was so crazy was because in his perception, these three people had already died.

Whether it was his trust in Sakura or his fury at his companions being ambushed one after another by the enemy right under his nose, Qianjie's original intention was good, and even for him as a memory, his actions were understandable.

After all, even if Qianjie really killed all the other memories here, under the structure of the Paradise of the Past, the other heroes would not disappear completely. And during the time when the other heroes disappeared, if Qianjie found out the person who made Kevin, Ying, and Alicia disappear... this incident can be regarded as being successfully resolved by Qianjie.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was the Herrscher of Corrosion, an out-of-specification enemy who was no different from the end for the data body, if it were any other situation, Qianjie would have probably pinned the [invader] to the ground and hammered him.

Although Qianjie is crazy, he is not stupid, let alone violent. It is even more likely that he will not really kill all the other heroes. At least... he will not really attack Grayxiu.

Fortunately, this time... Qianjie's madness was within their expectations and within their calculations.

After a brief exchange of glances, Su Hehua simultaneously shifted their gazes away, and stared at Qianjie, who was shouting that he would kill all of them one by one, with a solemn look mixed with a hint of imperceptible apology.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Su had no choice but to stand up under Eden's calm yet urgent gaze. He followed the lines that Eden had rehearsed countless times before, put on a selfless look, and danced in Qianjie's minefield with an apologetic heart: "Qianjie, your previous [disappearance] had exactly the same characteristics as Ying's. Have you seen her?"

As expected, just as the great performer Eden had expected, this line, which was enough to be called a minefield, made Qianjie's rage even more intense.

Qianjie, who still didn't realize that he was deeply involved in the drama, pointed at Su's nose and cursed: "You are not worthy of mentioning her name! And don't even think of using my anger... as a tool in your hands!"

"When we lied to her, we should have known that this day would come! But she is definitely not a betrayer! Not then, nor now!"

Outside the eternal paradise, in the space of consciousness.

Looking at Qianjie's extremely furious expression in the picture, Ying scratched her face in shame. She subconsciously wanted to hug Feiyumaru tightly in her arms, but her hug was empty. Only then did she realize that she had just given the Key of Corrosion to Weiwei, who didn't know what to do with it not long ago.

"Qianjie doesn't say it, but he actually values ​​his companions more than everyone thinks." Compared to Ying, who felt guilty because she had become the mastermind of a big drama against Qianjie, Alicia's memory was not so cautious - anyway, it was Li Shubai and her real self who should feel sorry. Facing the consciousness screen, she touched her smooth chin with interest, and suddenly turned her eyes away, casting her gaze on the two ice cubes who were looking at each other in a silent atmosphere, and said in a crisp and cheerful voice: "Hey, Kevin, when Qianjie is teleported here, you should be gentle, right?"

After hearing what Alicia said, Kevin and Kevin's memory, who were staring at each other in silence, turned their heads at the same time and asked at the same time: "Reason?"

"Of course, we should let him hold back a little to vent his anger." Alicia, who had completely transformed into a fun-loving person, fanned the flames without any psychological burden. "You can't force him to hold back after playing tricks on Qianjie, right? And the same goes for Mei. I'm really looking forward to seeing the captain's embarrassed expression."

Yulandel raised her eyebrows, covered her forehead weakly, then glanced at her sister who was still in a daze and had not come back to her senses at all, and the expression on her face became more helpless.

Hopeless.

Chapter 4: Chills on the Back (k)

After successfully detonating Qianjie, who was already angry, Su raised his hand according to the predetermined script.

"Sumeru mustard seed——"

As the command was given, Qianjie's body, which was wrapped in fire and rage, disappeared in the flash of white light in an instant.

"Is that, One Vehicle Among a Thousand Worlds?" Hua glanced at Su, then at Eden, who had a solemn expression and seemed to be thinking wholeheartedly, but was actually just acting. While Hua admired Eden for being a professional actor, he also breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart.

"Yeah." Su kept his eyes closed and nodded stiffly, "Although we can't trap someone like Qianjie for too long, it should be enough for us to understand the basic context of the matter."
