Is this world of yours a serious place?

Moon Embrace simply wanted to help Chen Xiuming, while Janna found this kind of thing very interesting.

As for Kiana the End, she thought that this might be more convenient to protect Chen Xiuming, so she chose to try to become a so-called "partner" first.

If Kiana the End is unwilling to continue playing the role of "partner", she can break free from the constraints of this world bubble at any time.

The same is true for Ganna. Although her strength has not fully recovered, her original "status" is still there. As a "planetary-level Honkai beast", she can naturally break free from restrictions at any time like Kiana the End.

After figuring out why the girls turned into "Bengkemon", Chen Xiuming, Cecilia and Yuexia Chuyong all turned their eyes to Vita.

"Hmm? Why are you looking at me all of a sudden? Could it be that you are all attracted by my charm?"

Vita had a faint smile on her face, and her tone of voice seemed puzzled, yet also somewhat playful and teasing.

"Vita, don't you have similar words in your mind?"

"No~"

Vita smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too weak~"

Chen Xiuming, Yuexia Chuyong and Cecilia were all skeptical, but considering that Chen Xiuming did not say anything similar, they chose to put aside their doubts for the time being and believe Vita first.

"Oh~ Don't worry~ I won't lie to you. After all, we have to get along well in the future~"

Vita said this in a frivolous, joking tone, which made her not very convincing.

Just as she said, she did not lie to Chen Xiuming and others.

Until now, the words asking her if she was willing to be a "partner" had never entered her mind.

Although Vita felt that she was looked down upon by the world, she was not the least bit surprised or astonished.

After all, her current body is no different from that of an ordinary person. Even if she becomes a "Bengkemon", she will be the lowest level "Bengkemon".

"Ah."

Chen Xiuming made a slight nasal sound as a response to Vita, and his eyes began to look around.

The hot breeze blew up the old newspapers on the ground, making a rustling sound.

If you look away from the old newspapers floating around, you can see the desolate scenery here.

This is a city.

Judging from the architectural style, it should be medieval Europe.

It was clearly noon now, but the city was silent and deserted, giving people an eerie feeling of dead silence.

Chen Xiuming's perception spread out along the collapse energy, taking in the nearby scenery into his mind.

This is a variant application of the Honkai energy shaping ability, which refers to the "sonar system" possessed by bats. It can use the drifting Honkai energy to fully grasp the surrounding situation.

Although it seems very convenient, this method of use has many disadvantages, such as it puts a heavy load on the mental endurance, and it is easy to be discovered by beings who also possess Honkai energy and expose one's location.

However, rather than exposing his location, Chen Xiuming would rather be attacked by monsters or discover traces of monster activities at this time.

Even being surrounded by all kinds of monsters is better than being in a dead and desolate city.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiuming did not find any signs of other biological activities. At least within the range that his Honkai energy could affect, there was no trace of any living creature.

The city doesn't look old, but it actually seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Not to mention any traces of human remains, even signs of animal activity can't be found.

Cecilia took Chen Xiuming's arm and whispered, "Dear, what should we do next?"

"Let's explore the city first."

Chen Xiuming made the decision.

According to the initial introduction of the light blue light curtain, since there are processes such as "capture" and "collection", it means that there must be living things in this world bubble.

This dead city should be a special case, or perhaps this city, or even this world bubble, has undergone some drastic changes, ultimately leading to the current situation.

The girls had no objection and followed Chen Xiuming to explore aimlessly.

As they explored more and more areas, Chen Xiuming and his team still found no signs of biological activity, and they didn't even see many weeds.

Even if you fly up and overlook the entire city, you can only feel the dead silence that permeates everywhere in the city.

"My dear, this city gives me a bad feeling. It makes me feel vaguely uneasy."

Cecilia frowned, her inner uneasiness evident in her words.

Although it was unfounded, she had a strange feeling that if she continued to stay in this city, something bad would probably happen.

As for what kind of bad thing it was, she couldn't be sure.

"Then let's leave this city first..."

"Cough cough..."

Before Chen Xiuming could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cough.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the person who made the cough was Vita.

At this time, Vita's cheeks had an unnatural blush and her mental state was a little sluggish.

184

Chapter 184: The Great Collapse and the Pseudo-Ruleholders.

Vita was in a very bad state.

Although her cheeks were slightly red, she didn't look shy or embarrassed at all. Combined with her sudden depressed mental state, it made her look more like she was "sick".

However, Vita was full of energy and vigor not long ago, and she was not even tired from walking and exploring. But now her condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse...

What's more, "getting sick" is a cyclical and gradual process. Except for a very few diseases that are more harmful, most diseases cannot cause particularly obvious symptoms overnight.

Chen Xiuming and others were certain that Vita had not shown any signs of illness recently. Both the slight redness on her cheeks and the coughing appeared suddenly.

"Vita, are you...sick?"

Although she had some guesses about Vita's situation, Cecilia still chose to ask with concern.

Hearing this, Vita coughed a few more times, and then answered in a daze: "I'm not sure, but I think I'm sick."

Talking about this matter, not only Chen Xiuming and others were puzzled, but even Vita herself found it difficult to understand.

Although her strength is no different from that of an ordinary person, she is one of Su's [agents] after all. It is impossible for her to be exactly the same as an ordinary person. At least, she cannot get sick as easily as an ordinary person.

In other words, only diseases involving Honkai energy can cause her to become sick.

"Chen Xiuming, Cecilia is right... ahem."

Vita could feel that her condition was slowly getting worse, and the symptoms of her illness were gradually getting worse.

If she continues to stay in this city, her illness will most likely worsen to the point where it cannot be cured.

"This city is very strange. It is very likely that this city caused my illness..."

Vita resisted the increasingly strong urge to cough, finding it difficult to maintain her usual ease and joy.

Chen Xiuming nodded and said, "Then let's leave this city immediately."

Before he finished speaking, he put Cecilia and Yuexia Chuyong into the storage device, then picked up Vita by the waist and let the End Kiana hold him and fly out of the city.

Although the feeling of the worsening disease was very uncomfortable, Chen Xiuming's embrace diluted the discomfort and made Vita's frown relax a little.

Janna, in spirit form, floated beside Chen Xiuming, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she was overlooking the empty city.

"My dear Xiuming, do you know 'The Great Collapse'?"

"Know a thing or two."

Each collapse event is caused by a specific "collapse source".

The sources of collapse are not stable. They will attract each other and gather together to form a larger source of collapse. However, this gathering will not develop indefinitely.

The larger the source of collapse, the more unstable it is. It will often be destroyed by various external interferences, breaking the critical balance and causing a collapse event.

Honkai events often distort reality, causing the physical properties of the space and time to be subverted.

Among these, the collapse event involving the birth of the "Herrser" will be called the "Great Collapse".

“This city has been through a major collapse.”

Janna did not remind Chen Xiuming before, nor did she even speak on her own initiative.

It was not until Chen Xiuming left the city that he had discovered the truth about the city, and only then did he choose to remind Chen Xiuming.

Facts have proved that having an old person in the family is really like having a treasure.

Although Chen Xiuming knew about the Honkai incident and the Great Honkai, he knew about it, but without Janna's reminder, it would be difficult for him to connect the city's silence with the Honkai incident.

"Is there a Herrscher in this city?"

Chen Xiuming frowned slightly. He was sure that there were no living creatures in the areas that had been explored. The place where the Herrschers lived could only be in areas that had not been explored yet.

"He can't be considered a true Herrscher."

Janna gave an ambiguous answer, which made Chen Xiuming feel confused.

Before Chen Xiuming could ask, she took the initiative to explain: "This city did experience a great collapse, but no true Herrscher was born. Instead, a special existence between Herrscher and non-Herrscher was born - [Pseudo-Herrscher]."

"That's it..."

Chen Xiuming seemed to be thinking about something.

Although the number of Pseudo-Herrsers is very small, they are still more numerous than Herrsers overall. It's just that their presence is not as strong as that of Herrsers, so they give people a feeling of being scarce.

As Chen Xiuming learned that there was a pseudo-hersr lurking in this city, the city's bizarre and mysterious veil was lifted, dispelling the fog of the unknown.

At the same time, he was sure that there was a high probability that Vita's illness was caused by the Pseudo-Hermendator.

Now we need to leave this city first and then help Vita solve the disease that is plaguing her.

After Vita recovers, Chen Xiuming will start investigating and look for the Pseudo-Hermaphrodites living in this city.

……

After leaving this city, Vita's complexion improved noticeably, and even her illness stopped getting worse.

"call……"

Vita let out a long, hot breath, "After being away from that city, my body feels much better. There is indeed something wrong with that city."

"Well, I know."

Chen Xiuming responded and began looking for a suitable place for temporary residence.

Outside the city is a vast plain with a small number of small private ranches scattered around.

However, just like the situation in the city, these small private ranches are also devoid of any living creatures.

Chen Xiuming found a small private ranch nearby and ran straight to the ranch house with Vita in his arms.

The interior of the ranch house exudes a strong smell of dust, but it does not affect living. The strong smell of dust can be solved by simply cleaning it and opening the doors and windows for ventilation.

Chen Xiuming placed Vita on the soft bed, then touched the storage device at his waist and released Cecilia and Yuexiachu.

Cecilia looked around: "Where are we now, dear?"

From the view of the plain outside the window, she could be sure that this was not inside that city.

"This is a small ranch outside the city. I plan to use it as a temporary residence. I will first solve Vita's health problem and then continue to investigate the city."

"I'll listen to you."

Cecilia responds meekly, then attempts to use her powers to cure Vita of her illness.

Although her ability is similar to that of the Herrscher of Death, it is not actually a Herrscher's power. It can heal injuries but cannot cure diseases.

"Anila, it's your turn."

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Seeing that Cecilia was unable to cure Vita's illness, Chen Xiuming called Anila out from the shadows.

185

Chapter 185 [The Plague of the Knights of Apocalypse] Levi.

Although Anila is not the purest [Herrser of Death], she is also a qualified Herrser of Death. Things like healing injuries are naturally easy for her.

——The purest [Herder of Death] does not have the ability to sneak into the shadows.
