Is this world of yours a serious place?

Is this world you live in serious? Author: Mo Hua Zhi Lian

In order to save them from being trapped in the world bubble, conquer them!

but……

Are there things that are a little off about these world bubbles?

……

"Cecilia, listen to me - I did this to save them!"

"Dear, of course I will trust you unconditionally, but... I won't let you rest tonight~"

“…I’m going to die, right?”

Cecilia smiled without saying anything, while Chen Xiuming was sweating profusely.

1. Cecilia Shaniat

The lights dispel the darkness and illuminate the silent tranquility.

The young man with black hair and black eyes was bending over the desk reading newspapers, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes slightly relaxed.

"…What kind of world is this?"

It seemed that he had gained very little, and the young man frowned subconsciously, and his murmured tone revealed deep doubt and suspicion.

This is a modern city.

Although the present time is earlier than his previous life, it seems that because he is in Europe, a technologically and economically developed country, the level of technological development is only a dozen years behind his previous life.

"Be calm... Chen Xiuming, you must stay calm."

Chen Xiuming whispered to calm his agitated emotions, but it had little effect and made him even more anxious.

This was not the world he used to live in.

To be precise, Chen Xiuming is a "time traveler".

Chen Xiuming had no recollection of how he traveled through time, he only knew that he found himself in this city after waking up from a sleep.

There is no change in either his body or his memory, but he strangely possesses the identity of this city, as if Chen Xiuming was originally a resident of this city. The so-called "memories of past lives" are more like an extremely real dream.

After the initial confusion, Chen Xiuming accepted the reality and continued his life along the original trajectory.

however……

Fate seemed to be playing a joke on him.

After waking up one time, he was horrified to find that time had gone back to the moment he had just traveled through.

Chen Xiuming spent three days confirming that all this was not his illusion or hallucination, and then bought a large number of newspapers and magazines, trying to find clues about "time travel".

Unfortunately, no matter how many times he read newspapers and magazines, he still couldn't find any clues about "time travel".

The city is peaceful.

It was so peaceful that there weren't even any civil disputes.

Before this, Chen Xiuming only felt that the public security in this city was particularly good, but now...

This kind of "calmness" is full of weirdness.

No matter how good the public security is, things like civil disputes are bound to exist.

Chen Xiuming searched his memory and was able to confirm that no civil disputes had ever occurred before he went back in time.

"Going back in time should be related to something, or to someone..."

Chen Xiuming sorted out his confused thoughts while arranging the newspapers and magazines that were placed randomly.

Newspapers and periodicals are easy to organize, but confused thoughts are difficult to sort out.

After a long silence, Chen Xiuming finally thought of the next course of action:

Since I have no idea what to do now, maybe I can try to leave this city.

"Go to sleep...try to leave this city tomorrow."

Chen Xiuming stood up and walked towards the single bed, his frown not relaxing. "Strange... Why didn't I think of leaving this city before time went back?"

……

"This world... No, there is something wrong with this city."

Chen Xiuming opened his eyes and stared at the familiar ceiling, and the anxiety in his heart disappeared by a large margin.

Time goes back again.

But this time it was not because of the long life, but because of Chen Xiuming's behavior of leaving the city.

Everything was normal until I boarded the train leaving the city.

But when Chen Xiuming got on the train, he felt a strong sense of sleepiness quietly growing, and he fell into a deep sleep in a daze.

The next time I open my eyes is now.

"Looking at the bright side, at least we can be sure that the source of 'time reversal' is in this city..."

Chen Xiuming was not in a hurry to get up, but was thinking about another thing——

What should he do after finding the source of "time reversal"?

Or in other words, what can he do?

Chen Xiuming pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

The most important thing now is to find the source of "time travel back", rather than thinking about what will happen after finding the source of "time travel back".

Chen Xiuming washed up in a hurry, then pushed the door open and left the house, going out to look for the source of "time travel back".

Although aimlessly searching is bound to be extremely inefficient, it is better than staying at home and thinking hard.

Chen Xiuming wandered around the city like a headless fly, and until night fell, he still couldn't find the suspected source of "time travel".

The quiet street was crowded with people, yet seemed very deserted. The pedestrians were all in a hurry, unwilling to stay even for a moment.

Chen Xiuming selectively ignored the passers-by in a hurry, followed the route he remembered, turned into an empty alley, and took a shortcut back to his residence.

Although it is called a "shortcut", it actually does not shorten the distance much.

Chen Xiuming's residence is located away from the city center, in the suburbs of this city.

Although the location is remote, the price is cheap.

Regardless of the level of technological development, modern cities are often synonymous with "every inch of land is worth a lot of money". The closer to the city center, the more expensive the housing prices.

Chen Xiuming was full of thoughts, and his mind was filled with things about "time travel".

After a while, his steps gradually slowed down and finally stopped completely.

Directly ahead is a wide road with not many buildings on either side. It looks desolate and deserted.

A young girl lay quietly in the middle of the road, as peaceful as the "Sleeping Beauty" in the fairy tale, as if she was waiting for her "prince".

"...I should know the source of 'time reversal'."

Chen Xiuming whispered softly and walked towards the unconscious girl.

The girl had long white hair that reached her hips, her skin was as white as cream, and she was as beautiful as a piece of jade. She was extremely beautiful.

Although the girl was different from the one in his memory, Chen Xiuming still recognized her identity at a glance.

—Cecilia Shaniat.

Chen Xiuming didn't know why Cecilia Shaniyat appeared here, but he could infer the true situation of the city from this.

This is most likely the "World Bubble".

The "world bubble" appears and disappears randomly like a bubble. Its size can be a planet, a country, or a city.

Before it disappears, the "World Bubble" will repeat a specific history like a movie story.

The "time reversal" phenomenon that Chen Xiuming felt was actually the resetting of the "world bubble".

His identity as a "traveler" makes him independent of the reset range of the "world bubble", that is, no matter how many times the "world bubble" is reset, his memory will never be affected.

"Is this the world of Honkai Impact 3rd?"

Chen Xiuming whispered softly and picked up the unconscious Cecilia Shaniyat in a princess hug.

Cecilia Shaniyat's body was very light and soft, and it exuded a faint fragrance that penetrated into Chen Xiuming's nostrils.

Although he had a beautiful girl in his arms, Chen Xiuming's attention was not on that.

The key figure in this "World Bubble" can be basically confirmed to be Cecilia Shaniat, so...

What should I do to prevent the "World Bubble" from resetting?

Chen Xiuming thought to himself that he didn't want to perish along with the "World Bubble", so in addition to preventing the "World Bubble" from resetting, he also needed to find a way to go to the "Essential World".

2. Cecilia ran away from home but fainted from hunger

Chen Xiuming, who was full of doubts, did not notice that at the place where Cecilia Shaniyat had been lying before, there was an earring lying quietly on the ground, emitting a faint luster under the bright moonlight.

About half an hour after Chen Xiuming left with Cecilia Shaniyat, two "uninvited guests" arrived on this desolate road.

The girl with brown hair and blue eyes and the girl with blond hair and blue eyes came here hand in hand and keenly discovered the earrings left behind by Cecilia Shaniate.

"…These are sister Cecilia's earrings."

"Yeah, we didn't find the wrong place."

The blonde girl with blue eyes nodded vigorously, and an innocent smile appeared on her delicate face like a porcelain doll. "After we find Sister Cecilia, we can still play in this city for a while."

"The prerequisite is to find Sister Cecilia first."

The girl with brown hair and blue eyes bent down to pick up the earrings that Cecilia Shanyat had dropped. "Let's go. Sister Cecilia doesn't have any money on her. We need to find Sister Cecilia as soon as possible."

"Yeah! Sister Maria, after I find Sister Cecilia, can I eat ice cream and cake every day?"

"Yes, but only before you go home."

"Okay~"

Hearing the girl's cheers, the brown-haired, blue-eyed girl laughed silently, her eyes filled with affection for the blonde girl.

The dim street lights illuminated the figures of the two girls, stretching their shadows into very long and narrow ones.

Searching for a specific person in a prosperous city is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even if we ask the police for help, it will be difficult to find Cecilia Shaniyat quickly.

This is not the world that Chen Xiuming lived in before he traveled through time. The technology here is a dozen years behind, and it is impossible to lay surveillance cameras throughout the city.

But as long as they were sure that Cecilia Shanyat was in this city, the two girls would be confident and certain to find Cecilia Shanyat.

……

On the other side, Chen Xiuming had already returned to his home with Cecilia Shaniyat in his arms.

Chen Xiuming didn't care about Cecilia Shanyati's dusty clothes. He put Cecilia Shanyati on the bed and covered her with bedding to prevent her from catching a cold.

Although I am not sure whether Cecilia Shaniat in "World Bubble" is a Valkyrie, it never hurts to be on the safe side.

Afterwards, Chen Xiuming sat at the table, stared at the neat desktop with his eyes downcast, and fell into thought.

Now that it has been confirmed that the reset of the "World Bubble" is related to Cecilia Shaniat, then...

What is the key to resetting the "world bubble"?

Chen Xiuming's brows were tightly furrowed, and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

After a moment, he seemed to be thinking about something and took out a piece of A4 paper from the drawer.

Recalling the experiences before the previous two "World Bubble" resets, Chen Xiuming wrote down the two words "time" and "distance" on an A4 paper.

When the "World Bubble" develops to a certain time, or when it is far away from Cecilia Shaniat, the "World Bubble" will be reset.

Chen Xiuming's brows relaxed slightly, and his eyes looked at Cecilia Shaniyat who was sleeping peacefully.

Judging from the current clues, if we want to solve the problem of resetting the "World Bubble", we cannot avoid Cecilia Shaniyat.
