The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

"In my box..." Padu looked down at her box, "Nothing much, just some of my little things..."

"But why does it look so dirty?"

Padu pursed her lips and replied, "Because we buried it in the soil before, and we just dug it out now... We have to ask Sister Wei Weiwei if there is any way to preserve the contents..."

"Oh." The little painter nodded. Since Padu didn't get the answer here, she would go somewhere else to continue looking for that person. "Then I'll go first. Goodbye, Sister Padu."

"Ah, goodbye, little Gracie..." Patuo noticed the painting in the little painter's arms, and she also asked curiously, "Little Gracie, who is this painting for?" yes?"

The young painter replied: "It's for Brother Yufeng."

Although this should have been given to that person a long time ago, but... the little painter doesn't like this painting, and she doesn't want to give it to that person. Sister Alicia said that things that you don't like should not be given to others casually, because others may not like it either.

But no matter how she tried, the final result was not even as good as this painting. So after thinking for a long time, the little painter finally decided to give this painting to that person. If he doesn't like it...what should she do then? The little painter was a little distressed.

After hearing the little painter's answer, Padu fell silent again. She watched the little painter leave, then looked down at the box in her hand and sighed softly.

The little painter continued walking in the dim corridor. She was going to look for Brother Kevin. She had a good relationship with that person, but Brother Kevin always looked difficult to talk to. She wondered if he would tell her where that person was now...

She walked to the place known as the "Chasing Fire Heroes Meeting Room" and saw brother Kevin and sister Mei standing together talking about something. The little painter slowed down her footsteps, hid behind the bar, and listened quietly to the two people talking.

"...the child's eyes...are very much like yours."

"Don't joke around at this time, Kevin. You know, I'm born with myopia. When Mebius and I were designing this child, we used your genes for this part."

"No...I didn't mean that..."

"Kevin, you know that I can't walk into the future with you in my current physical condition, but... you still have a lot of time. I hope this child can be the last connection between you and the world."

"..."

"..."

Both of them fell silent. The young painter waited for a while and finally left quietly.

She walked aimlessly in the aisle holding the painting. No one seemed to want to tell her where that person had gone, but she actually knew it very well in her heart.

They said that Sister Desdobia was a hero, and then the little painter never saw Sister Desdobia again. Only occasionally when Kosmo played the harmonica, he would tell her about Sister Desdobia's past.

They said that dad and mom were heroes. Then the little painter never saw her dad and mom again. When mom became a hero, dad hugged her and cried for a long time. That was the first time the little painter saw her dad shed tears. When dad became a hero, it was that person who told her. At that time, he gently squatted down and hugged her, saying: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring your dad back, I'm sorry..."

Why apologize?

Later, it was that person who told him that sister Astaroth had also become a hero and was going to help him bring news about himself to his parents who had also become heroes. He said that his parents would definitely be happy for him after listening to sister Astaroth's story.

As he said this, the color of his hair and eyes had turned into the same color as sister Lilith's hair, as beautiful as the Milky Way on a summer night.

just now……

He also became a hero, and everyone said he was a hero. However, just like she couldn't find her parents, she couldn't find him either.

Why did he become a hero? Did he go to find Lilith and the others?

Is he... like Kosmo, a person who is afraid of loneliness? Sister Lilith and the others all became heroes, leaving him alone. He was very lonely, so he went to find Sister Lilith and the others...

What is a hero...? Kosmo has always wanted to be a hero, so he is ready to board the ship that will take him to where the stars live.

Heroes...will they go to where the stars live?

As the little painter was thinking this, she had unknowingly walked out of the place everyone called "the base". She looked up at the boundless night sky. The stars were twinkling, and the starlight was reflected in the little painter's eyes.

Speaking of which, sister Alicia has always wanted to meet that person. Now they are both heroes, so... have they met now? What will they talk about?

Before Sister Alicia left, she found the little painter, hugged him gently, and told him that she was leaving. She also said that if she could see him again, she would tell him the answer she didn't give him that year and her feelings. Even if there would be no response, she would tell him the belated answer.

"Is Brother Yufeng very important to you?"

"Yes, it is very important..."

There will definitely be a response, because that person has been very gentle from beginning to end.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing out here?" A deep and hoarse voice sounded above the little painter.

The little painter looked in the direction of the voice and saw the strange masked adult, who was leaning against the door, with his arms folded across his chest, looking down at him.

The little painter was a little afraid of this strange adult because he was always yelling, but now the color on his body seemed to be the same as that of others, a little dull, but he also had more colors representing anger than others.

"I'm looking for Brother Yufeng." The little painter said, "Do you know where he is?"

"Huh?" The strange adult's voice suddenly became louder, scaring the little painter so much that he subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing the little painter's performance, Qianjie shifted his gaze elsewhere and his voice returned to normal: "What do you want to do with him?"

"I want to give him this painting, but everyone says that Brother Yufeng has become a hero and no one tells me where he is..."

"He died, leaving the world behind and dying alone."

Faced with this strange answer given by the adult, the little painter felt a little confused: "What does death... mean?"

"Dead is dead, what's the point?" Qianjie said impatiently, "You can't give him this painting, if you are fine, go back quickly, I don't want that guy Abonya to see you here and say some useless nonsense!"

In the eyes of the little painter, this strange adult became very angry when he mentioned that person, but he didn't seem to be angry at that person...

The young painter looked up at the night sky again and walked back to the base.

On the way back to her studio, she saw Mother Aponia, who also saw her and came over and said, "Grace, where have you been? Everyone said you were walking around the base, and I was a little worried..."

The little painter raised his head, looked at Aponya and said, "Mother Aponya, what does 'death' mean?"

Aponya was stunned.

"That strange brother wearing a mask said that Brother Yufeng is dead." The little painter said, "But you all said that he became a hero, so are mom and dad also 'dead'?"

“Thousand Tribulations…” Aponia’s eyes narrowed, and a slight red color emerged from them, but soon disappeared. She squatted down, touched Grayshu’s head and said, “They… all went to a very far place. Now we have no way to find them. ‘Death’ is very far away for you now. One day you will understand what it means, but now… you don’t need to understand the meaning of this word.”

The young painter nodded, not quite understanding.

Although Aponia's mother didn't explain it, the little painter already had a rough idea of ​​"death". That meaning, perhaps, meant that this person had disappeared from this world, and no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't be found. of.

"Grayshus, you've walked so many places today, it's time to rest. I'll take you home first, and then... I'll go explain to Qianjie the polite way of speaking..." Aponia said.

The painter with sky-blue hair stood by the window, gazing at the rising sun outside as usual. She looked at the painting by the window that had been completed long ago but had been constantly changed over a long period of time.

The knight walked into the darkness with his back to the sun, and his outline gradually became clear. The sunlight, which had never shone on him, now shone on him at this moment.

The Knight of the Dawn brings the dawn, and he will eventually return to this world that has become vibrant again because of him.

Extra: Daily Life of a Fallen Angel ②

"So... Kevin, this is the emergency you mentioned?" Zhu Yufeng said speechlessly, crossing his arms as he looked at the pile of indescribable things in front of him.

"This is indeed an emergency..." Kevin said as he looked at the indescribable thing in front of him.

"You can eat the dishes made by Mei yourself, why did you call me?" Zhu Yufeng's expression became a little ugly.

"That's why I asked Sue to come along." Kevin lowered his voice and said, "I was afraid that if I ate all of this by myself and sent her to emergency, it would undermine Mei's self-confidence."

"But Kevin..." Su opened his eyes and whispered with an indescribable look, "Don't you think that if you were sent to the emergency room alone, or if all three of us were sent to the emergency room, wouldn't the latter be more damaging to Mei's self-confidence?"

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart." Kevin replied in a low voice, "We are all fusion fighters now. If we share it among the three of us, it will be uncomfortable at most. I may have to be sent to the first aid after eating alone... May It's rare for her to have such an idea, so... please!"

"I think she doesn't need to have this kind of self-confidence..." Zhu Yufeng curled his lips, "If she has the confidence to do it every day in the future, will you still ask us to come?"

He was afraid that he would be killed by Mei's God-killing food before he died in the fight against Honkai.

"What are you discussing?" Mei came out of the kitchen and looked at the three men who were looking at the "dish" in front of them with a puzzled expression. "Don't worry, although I'm not good at cooking and it does look a bit unsightly, I have considered the nutritional needs of you as fusion warriors, and I have also learned a little from Lilith before, so there will be no problem."

Really? Is this something that Lilith could really teach? Is this similar to the cakes Lilith makes and her various dishes?

Zhu Yufeng felt a little scared when he saw the indescribable thing in front of him. Why didn't he believe it? Or was Mei a spy sent by Lilith to harm him?

"Mei, you know me. I will always believe in you!" Kevin said and raised his knife and fork.

Seeing Kevin's "sacrificial" expression, Zhu Yufeng and Su looked at each other. Su chose to close his eyes and then said, "It may not look good, but as long as you don't care, it's no different from ordinary food."

Then Su picked up the chopsticks.

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

If it really doesn't work, why don't you and Kevin just get by together? Anyway, you are a fusion warrior and you are not afraid of Kevin's extremely low body temperature. How dare you eat it!

Forget it...it's just made from ingredients, it can't be that outrageous. As long as it's normal ingredients, it must be edible!

Zhu Yufeng also picked up the chopsticks.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Yufeng supported Su, and the two of them limped out, holding their stomachs.

Kevin? Kevin ate the most and fell down. Before he fell down, he told Mei that he played games too late the day before yesterday and needed to rest.

Kevin is burnt out.jpg

"Why...there are Honkai beasts in here..." Zhu Yufeng said speechlessly.

"In theory... Fusion Warriors can indeed eat Honkai Beasts as energy supplements..." Su tried to explain for Mei helplessly, "Mei is one of the top scientists in the Fire Moth. She must have her reasons for doing so..."

"But even so... I feel like all my internal organs are aching... My stomach hurts the most..." Zhu Yufeng complained while thinking that the medicine Mebius gave him should not have lost its effect yet. Could it be that the food Mebius cooked made the medicine lose its effect prematurely?

"My stomach is not feeling well... and I feel a little weak all over. Mei may have added some medicine to it..." Su said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Feng, you are not feeling well either, but I can only ask you to support me and take me back..."

"Then next time Kevin calls us over, help me eat more."

"Uh... can you find another way to repay me?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding... I definitely won't come next time."

"Although I really want to agree with you, I can't bear to see Kevin being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment again..."

"...I'll go ask Lilith what's going on later."

After sending Su back to his residence, Zhu Yufeng, who felt that the side effects of being a fusion warrior were gradually increasing, walked back to his dormitory with the help of the wall. He didn't want to take the medicine in front of others and make people doubt his true side effects. He didn't need other people's sympathy or pity...

On the way back to the dormitory, Zhu Yufeng happened to run into Lilith who was walking towards him. Seeing him like this, Lilith asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Did Mebius's medicine expire early?"

"I have to ask you this..." Zhu Yufeng said gritting his teeth.

"Eh?"

Zhu Yufeng raised the lunch box in his hand and handed it to Lilith: "This is the meal you taught Mei to cook..."

Lilith opened the lunch box and was stunned: "Feng, this...you didn't pack up some failed biochemical product from Mei's laboratory?"

"I saw Mei bring it out from the kitchen with my own eyes..." Zhu Yufeng said speechlessly, "This thing seems to have suppressed Mobius's medicine. Kevin ate the most and fainted. I just sent Su, who was exhausted, back to the dormitory... It's really hard to imagine that this was taught by you... Forget it, I'll go back to the dormitory to take medicine first."

Lilith closed the lunch box and held Zhu Yufeng by the arm. "Come on, stop trying to be tough here. Don't you know how uncomfortable it is when your side effects kick in? Let me take you home. I also have the key to your room, so you don't have to open the door..."

"Then I'll leave it to you..."

After Lilith sent Zhu Yufeng to the dormitory, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she watched Zhu Yufeng take the medicine and said, "Since you think this thing will make Mobius's medicine lose its effect prematurely, it may also be a drug that can directly inhibit Mobius. Maybe it won't be useful for you to take the medicine now. I will stay here first. If something happens to you later, I can still notify Mobius."

"Can't you just wait for me to order..." Zhu Yufeng said speechlessly, then watched Lilith open the lunch box and find chopsticks from his room with ease.

"Hey... I'm just showing you this thing..."

Before Zhu Yufeng finished speaking, Lilith had already picked up a little and put it in her mouth. After a moment of silence, she said with a strange look, "Didn't I teach Mei to cook with the remains of Honkai beasts in it?"

"This... can be considered as Mei learning it on his own?" Zhu Yufeng covered his face. He said, how could Lilith add Honkai beasts into the food she cooked?

He remembered that Kiana seemed to have added Honkai beasts when she was cooking during the Spring Festival event. Could the Kaslana family not have such a weird ancestral heirloom?

"Just throw this thing away if you know... Eh? Lilith?!" Zhu Yufeng stared in amazement as Lilith slowly finished eating the food in the lunch box he brought.

Then Lilith walked to the sink to wash the chopsticks and said, "Next time if Mei asks you to come over to eat this, please ask me to come too. I really can't imagine how she can make such a meal."

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, then asked: "Are you... okay?"

Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng: "In the social etiquette of the upper class, keeping a poker face is also a necessary skill."

"Then why are you eating this?" Zhu Yufeng asked puzzledly.

"It's a punishment for my mistake." Lilith smiled. "After all, it's because I taught Mei that you can eat this, right?"

I just want to experience what you feel, that's all.

Perhaps, there is more feeling of happiness than pain?
