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

The problem is that he has never seen Alicia...

But it doesn’t matter, at least... I learned a little more than what I could learn from the game.

There was one thing that he had always found very strange. Why was it that in the modern civilization, the story of the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes had never been known? Even to the people of the modern civilization, Su, Kevin and Hua were all legendary god-like existences. Fortunately, Hua had accompanied the Shenzhou civilization for thousands of years, and the emperors of every dynasty had to pay homage to her. It was only in modern times that she became a legend. As the ancestor of the Apokalis family, Su was only recorded in the Apokalis' own classics. The only other record of her was that of the Fairy of the Lake. As for Kevin... even less was left. Apart from knowing that he was Adam's father and kicked Adam out of the house, nothing was left. Most of the information was known to the ancients of the Anti-Entropy Destiny Civilization.

Even these three are like this, let alone the other heroes, who didn't even leave their names.

Perhaps... there may also be a factor that they don't want to mention the past of the previous civilization. The Final War, just from the information we learned in the game, was a battle full of despair and powerlessness. For these survivors, that story is not glorious, it is a story of failure, a sad past that they don't want to mention.

Therefore, the story of the Thirteen Heroes who Chased Fire has not been passed down.

Then, the humans of the present civilization who entered the paradise of the past also came for the sake of inheritance. They knew very little about the journey of chasing fire, and only knew about the various struggles they had experienced.

But...even heroes have their own daily lives, right?

So it won't be a problem if I dig up some gossip about Ying Jie here and spread it, right?

"How about it? Little white mouse, as long as you cooperate with me to do something interesting, you can get the answer you want~" Mebius said with a chuckle.

He came back to his senses from his thoughts and asked, "Does this 'traitor' mean betraying humanity, or betraying something else?"

Mobius narrowed his eyes, and Su, who was observing in the dark, shook his head. It was obvious that this young man knew something, but it seemed that he didn't know a lot, which made people think about it. In addition, Kevin outside only said that he came in for Alicia, and then said nothing else. Could it be that Kevin said these things?

Alicia looked at the young man with a thoughtful expression.

"Humph... a traitor is a traitor. What's the difference?" Mebius's snake pupils turned a little cold. "I'm curious, why do you say that?"

"Because betrayal can be divided into many categories. Betraying one's original ideals, betraying one's wishes, betraying past agreements, can all be called betrayal." He said very straightforwardly, "Based on the information I have learned so far... as a place where the heroic souls of past lives rest, there should not be traitors in the universal sense. The heroes here may have different personalities, different philosophies, and even contradictions with each other, but there is no doubt that each of you has fought to fight against Honkai."

Mebius once again looked at the young man in front of her. She wanted to know what this guy had collected in the paradise during this period of time. What he said was indeed a bit too naive.

But...even if it's naive, if you have to say it, it's not wrong.

"Alicea, the second of the Fire Chasing Heroes, is also the founder of the Heroic System." The young man said, "Although the information I have learned is limited, it is clear that she joined the team to fight against Honkai very early."

"so what?"

"I have never doubted her position." The young man looked down into Mebius' eyes and said, "The flawlessness she displayed may be a disguise, but her will to fight for humanity is impossible to change, not to mention..."

She has always been consistent.

At the beginning, many people speculated that Alicia would be a pink-cut black with ulterior motives, but in fact, after being cut open, she was still pink, and then she couldn't be put back together... No, at the beginning of this story, we should have known that this is, after all, a residual image left over from the past...

So, isn't it even more important that her story continue to be passed down?

In the end, he still didn't say these words, but just said: "I just... hope that the story of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire can be spread, so that people today know that there were such people who existed so proudly and fought for humanity all the time... This story should not exist because of the visitors, because this... should originally belong to these thirteen people, and exist because of these thirteen people..."

Exists because of Alicia.

I hope that children of modern civilization can know that there once were such thirteen people and their intertwined stories. I hope that children can know that there once was a girl named Alicia who loved human civilization and loved humanity and was consistent in her love for it. I hope that they can know her story and therefore admire her innocence.

"…Is this why you came in?"

The young man spread his hands and said, "Look at me, I am neither good at literature nor martial arts. If Kevin's men can even allow a guy like me who is disabled in both literature and martial arts and will not live long to enter the paradise of the afterlife, then the World Snake may really be doomed."

Mobius groaned. This guy actually said it as if there was nothing wrong with him. But how could Mobius, who was always stubborn, admit defeat? She said, "No matter how nice you say it, you haven't even met Alicia. How can you be so sure of this?"

How should I put it... I guess I have seen it before, in another world...

"After all...she should like beautiful girls more." He smiled helplessly, "But I don't think it matters. I believe we should have a chance to meet."

He will have his chance when Mei comes in.

Su glanced at Alicia beside him, and Alicia looked at the young man. After a while, she retracted her gaze and said to Su with a smile: "Since he said so, I think I can wait for a while. Anyway, he will probably have to stay in Paradise for a long time."

Now that you've started to understand me, there's nothing wrong with me observing you for a while longer and getting to know you a little better in return, right?

...............

"Captain, don't you have anything to explain to me?" Mei crossed her arms and looked at the young man, saying coldly, this guy... he ran away without saying a word, and it wasn't even a disagreement, he left a letter saying that he was going to switch jobs to Kevin and left.

It's really hard to understand what he is thinking.

Even if the Honkai in his body can corrode the Anti-Entropy and cannot be cured for the time being, he won't go straight to the World Serpent, right?

Then after I joined World Snake, I still couldn't find him. I asked Kevin, but Kevin always said, "You are not qualified to know the answer now."

Meiyi: "..."

So where did that B go?

Do you know how worried she and Kiana were? If this guy hadn't said that they would definitely meet again in the future, Kiana might have been upset again... But after that, Kiana's condition was still not right, and it was only because of Teacher Jizi's encouragement and she and her that she sang a sinner's elegy...

The battle of destiny... This guy was exposed to fatal Houkai radiation in order to save Himeko...

When I couldn't find any news about this guy in World Snake, I thought he was really...

It was not until now that I entered the paradise of the afterlife that Kevin said, "The person you are looking for and the answer you are seeking are all in here."

And Alicia, who brought him in, seemed to be very curious about him.

The young man took a few steps back and said, "Mei, if you have something to say, please speak properly. Put down the knife first, and don't use the power of the Herrscher recklessly..."

"Why..." Mei looked at the young man and asked, "Why... did you choose to leave?"

The young man was silent for a moment, then said leisurely: "It's just that there is still some time to do what I want to do."

"What do you want to do?"

The young man's eyes passed Mei and seemed to be looking at another person. He said softly: "I want to meet someone and pass on her story."

Mei frowned. Could this person... be Alicia?

He suddenly smiled and said, "After all, the heroine always has to make a shining debut at the best time, right? For me...or for her, the time for us to meet has not yet come."

Meiyi: "..."

Well, Captain, you've been in Paradise for a long time, and you've also started to be a riddler, right? Captain, you used to be...ah, you used to be a black-bellied person, that's fine.

The girl leaned against a rock in the paradise scene, laughed softly, and said, "Yes... now is not the time for us to meet... but the time for us to meet will not be too far away."

...............

"Mei, I have answered so many of your questions, so can you answer one for me? What kind of person is your captain?" the girl suddenly asked.

Mei was silent for a moment. She had realized something. Although theoretically the captain and Alicia had never met each other, the two seemed to have maintained some strange tacit understanding. When she found the captain, Alicia was not there. When she found Alicia, the captain was not there...

It's as if these two people are deliberately avoiding each other...

When I was still struggling to explore the paradise in the past, the captain was already flying around in the paradise. It seemed that there were many heroes he was not familiar with. Should I really say that he was worthy of being the captain...

"Captain..." Mei thought, "He is a very gentle person. Although he is very capable of making people angry in many cases, no matter what time it is...Captain, he is always someone we can trust."

Although Kiana and I did doubt him...

During the Battle of Destiny, when everyone was helpless against Kiana who had become the Second Herrscher, it was Teacher Himeko who stepped forward and raised the Sword of Rebellion to the sky. After that, when Teacher Himeko's body reached its limit, it was he who took the sword from Teacher Himeko and injected the serum into Kiana's body, suppressing the consciousness of the Second Herrscher.

The price is...

"Really? But judging from your expression, did anything else happen between you two?" The girl continued to ask teasingly, "For example, did you really believe him from the beginning?"

"Indeed." Mei said very frankly, "We certainly doubted him at the beginning, but... we have also been through a lot together, and until now, we are more willing to trust him than anyone else."

So even if this guy left a letter saying that he was going to switch jobs to World Snake, they would not think that he was betraying them, but would go to find other treatments or something like that... Although, his departure was indeed a kind of "betrayal" to some extent.

"...He always said that our story has not yet come to an end, but if this story really comes to an end one day, when we reach the end of our journey, as a member of Hyperion, he must be there too." Mei said softly, "His story has actually long been intertwined with ours, so we should go to the end together and witness the future together..."

"Is that so..." The girl nodded thoughtfully, "The future..."

Her gaze shifted to the paradise of the past again. It must be said that this captain did have many attractive qualities. During this period of "getting along", although the two had never really met each other, at most they were just secretly observing each other, but...how to put it, the two of them seemed to have developed a strange tacit understanding without realizing it. For example, they both chose to leave before the other saw Mei or other Yingjie. Perhaps he had already known about her observations of him.

But they are all waiting for an opportunity, a time when both parties are ready to meet.

This feeling... isn't bad?

The knight went through trials and tribulations, reached the end of the story, and met the princess.

When the two meet, perhaps it will be time for his story in the paradise to come to an end. After all, the story has come to an end, hasn't it?

But what if... we had met before that civilization, what would it be like?

The purpose of entering the paradise is not to obtain any inheritance, but to pursue and narrate a story. It is just for such a pure purpose from beginning to end.

Hmm... Although he has always said that his ultimate goal is to meet me...

There will definitely be this opportunity.

It's really strange. In this era, I finally met a Herrscher like myself. This is such an exciting thing, but I also have a different kind of feeling for a person of the opposite sex who is not a Herrscher.

"By the way, do you know where he is now?" the girl asked. Before she came here, the man had already run away as if he had calculated the time perfectly, so now she didn't know where he was in the paradise. However, she had said hello to Aponya and Su, so he wouldn't be in any danger that he couldn't handle...

"It seems like he's planning to meet Qianjie."

"..."

Why don't she go and take a look?

...............

The typewriter papers were flying all over the place. Mei took a piece of paper from it. There was only one sentence written on it repeatedly:

"Alicea is dead"

"Alisa... is dead?" Mei was so stunned by the huge shock that she could only repeat the above words mechanically. She turned her gaze to the young man beside her. Not long ago, Alisa had made an agreement with her and asked her to tell the young man that they would meet on the island at sunset and confess everything.

And the young man also said that he also wanted to say something to Alicia.

"Captain..." Mei suddenly became a little confused, and could only subconsciously seek help from the young man who was her companion in this paradise.

youth:"……"

There's nothing I can do if you look at me.

He simply asked: "Who do you think is most likely to do it?"

"I……"

"The answer is clear in our minds, isn't it? Theoretically, there should be no possibility that any hero would attack Alicia, so the problem should not be internal, but external." The young man looked at the somewhat illusory sky in the paradise and said, "No matter what the reason is, it is just an excuse for his despicable behavior."

He seemed to be talking to Mei, but it also seemed like he was talking to another being.

Meiyi: "..."

Can you please stop talking about riddles, Captain? It's already this time!

The young man also had his own considerations. In a world made up of data like the Paradise of the Past, the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion was close to invincible. Unless the Paradise was completely deleted, the heroes really had no way to deal with the Corrosion at this stage. After all, after devouring Alicia's data, the Corrosion hid in the dark and developed. It was in the dark, and the heroes were in the light. Su and Aponia searched the entire Paradise with all their might but could not find any trace of the Corrosion. In the end, Qianjie risked his life to pass on the message.

Did he try to stop it? Of course he did. When Mei came in from outside, he tried to scan her, but Erode was so good at hiding that he was not detected. Then he tried to stop Mei from fighting Qianjie. After all, the main reason why Erode started to go berserk was the death threat from Qianjie.

The result was as expected, he failed. Mei was too obsessed with and cared too much about Aponia's prophecy. He even suspected that when Aponia told Mei about the prophecy, she might have unconsciously used the power of discipline to give Mei some psychological hints. Mei verbally told him that she didn't care, and then turned around to fight with Qianjie.

I always feel that Mei is not as gentle as before after becoming a Herrscher, and has become more aggressive...

Alas... But perhaps, for the heroes, this world that has lasted for thousands of years has also come to an end? Every story has an ending, and the story of the paradise will eventually come to an end.

only……

"I don't want this story to end like this...even though it should have ended a long time ago..."

However, this is also Ai Lixia's wish. In the distant past, after the Thirteen Heroes were established, they never fought side by side...

...............

The young man and Mei walked together in a pure white world and came to Eden. Mei was once panicked because she was getting farther and farther away from the door where she could see Alicia, but she found that the young man beside her never wavered in his steps and just walked forward calmly.

The young man's calmness also made Mei feel at ease. Perhaps, this was the influence the young man had on them.

The two met Eden in this pure white world, and learned from Eden what she and the fairy Airi were planning. Mei asked, "But... if we do this, you..."

"Don't worry about us, Miss Mei." Eden gently shook his glass, turned his gaze to the young man, and smiled softly, "During this time together, you have all gotten to know Ellie better. You are the last piece of the puzzle to bring Ellie back... In addition, our story has been recorded by the captain next to you. I'm afraid no one here knows the story of the people called the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire better than him. Well, this is enough."

After Eden and the fairy Ellie disappeared, the two came to the pure white door and pushed it open.

To Mei's surprise, the fairy Airi appeared again, but after collecting several flowers containing the memories of Alicia according to the instructions of "Fairy Airi", Mei has guessed the true identity of this "Fairy Airi".

The flowers gathered into an invitation letter and fell into Mei's hands, but the young man next to her did not receive the invitation letter, but his expression did not change at all.

The young man and "Fairy Ellie" looked at each other and just smiled knowingly.

Mei understood. Perhaps for them, there was no longer any need for an invitation between them. She knew he would come, and he also knew she was waiting for his arrival, because this was a meeting they had agreed on.

Although they had never met in person, they had such a tacit understanding at this moment...

...............

"Mei, I will send you away from the paradise next. Of course, he will come out after that. The rest of the time will be left to me and him, right?" the girl said with a smile.
