Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

"Alicia?"

Ai Yue looked up at the time and said, "It's so late, what's going on?"

"Can't I call you if I'm fine?"

Alicia said with a smile, but then changed the subject, "But I do have something to ask you—I just saw Daisy and Amo at the base. The atmosphere between them was a bit strange. Do you know what happened?"

"I know,"

Ai Yue said casually, "But can't you really see it?"

Ai Yue had no intention of keeping it a secret for the two of them, because the young couple who had just confirmed their relationship were as obvious as the sun hanging in the sky. No matter how much they tried to hide it, the youthful and ignorant atmosphere could not be concealed.

What's more, even if Desdobia and Kosmo are really acting masters at the level of Oscar-winning actors, it is impossible to hide it from Alicia's eyes. Ai Yue doesn't believe that she didn't see anything.

"Just checking. After all, neither Kevin nor Mei seem to know anything about it."

Alicia immediately laughed cheerfully. "Thank you, now that it's settled, it's a good thing."

"right,"

Ai Yue also agreed, "It is indeed something worth celebrating."

"So you have time now?"

Alicia finally changed the subject again, "I'm coming to you."

Eh?

Chapter 70: It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with kind words.

Alysia's sudden visit obviously exceeded Ai Yue's expectations. Although he could imagine that Alysia must be interested in the affairs of Kosmo and Desdobia, he did not expect that the other party would be so interested.

Or is there something else?

But no matter what, Ai Yue had no reason to refuse, not to mention that Alicia hung up the phone directly without giving him a chance to object.

The most important thing is that as soon as she hung up the communication, the portal lit up. It was obvious that all this was premeditated.

"Hi~ Did you miss me?"

Alicia smiled and waved at Ai Yue, then raised the bag in her other hand and gestured to Ai Yue, "I also brought you a gift."

Ai Yue just waved his hand and said, "I don't drink, you can keep it for yourself."

"Of course I know you don't drink, so why would I give you any? I drink myself!"

Alicia blinked at Ai Yue and said, "So this is the tea I brought back from Shenzhou. You shouldn't be so resistant to it, right?"

The team led by Alicia is mainly responsible for the Asian part, but currently the population of Asia is basically concentrated in Shenzhou and nearby areas, so it can also be said that her base is Shenzhou.

"You also know about tea? There are many things about this thing."

Ai Yue said with some surprise, "Don't be fooled by people who think you're a stupid foreigner and buy you a bunch of things with only beautiful packaging."

"What are you talking about? Even if it's just packaging, it's still someone's thoughtfulness."

Alicia didn't care about Ai Yue's words and just handed the bag over. "Besides, as for the quality of the tea, you can just open it and see for yourself."

Ai Yue took the bag from Alicia's hand, opened it and was stunned for a moment - there was only a very simple paper bag inside. It could be said that his idea was not valid from the beginning.

When he opened the paper package, he could smell a rich tea aroma. Ai Yue picked up a few tea leaves, examined them carefully, and then nodded.

"how?"

Alicia raised her chin slightly with pride. "The local old man said this is their best tea, very expensive!"

“It is indeed tea leaves.”

Ai Yue nodded, then gave a subtle smile, "But I actually don't know anything about tea."

Obviously, the experienced look he showed just now was completely fake.

"Eh?"

Alicia was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in a feigned anger, "Okay, you actually teased me!"

In order to express her emotions, Alicia puffed up her cheeks, which made Ai Yue couldn't help but reach out and poke her, causing Alicia to make a strange "puff" sound.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

Alicia slapped his hand away, "I'm still angry!"

After saying this, she couldn't help laughing herself - she didn't know when it started, but teasing each other whenever they met had become a kind of tacit understanding between her and Ai Yue. Of course, she couldn't really be angry about such a little joke.

She'll win it back next time anyway.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Ai Yue put away the tea that Alicia brought him and asked, "Are you really here just for the matter of Kosmo and Desdobia?"

"The main reason is this,"

Alicia pulled a chair over and sat down. "So, what exactly happened?"

So Ai Yue briefly narrated the whole incident to Alicia, and then he noticed that during this process, the other party's expression began to change, with pouting and glaring eyes, and the words "I am very angry" were almost written on her face.

"Such an interesting thing, and you don't even think about me?"

After Ai Yue finished speaking, Alysia made a sound of grievance, "Why, aren't we good friends?"

“I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

Ai Yue spread his hands, his tone somewhat helpless. "At first I thought it was just an ordinary date, but who knew Kosmo would be so brave."

"He's always like this. It's hard for him to hold back what he really wants to say."

Alicia didn't pursue the matter too much, but just sighed, "What a pity! It would have been so meaningful if I could have recorded that scene."

Then Ai Yue took out his phone: "Then I'll send you a copy?"

Alicia was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately showed a bright smile: "Ai Yue, you are indeed my good friend!"

"Come to think of it, I heard that Dr. Mebius was here recently."

After receiving the video, Alicia finally showed a satisfied expression, and then she talked about another matter, "But I didn't seem to see her?"

"Oh, Aponia is staying over tonight, and Mebius took her to clean up her room."

Ai Yue said casually, then froze for a moment, "Huh, why do I feel like something is wrong?"

Alicia immediately looked at him with a subtle look: "When did the two of them become so close?"

"Yeah, and Aponya has her own room here, so she doesn't need to clean it, right?"

Ai Yue finally realized what was going on, but he didn't take it to heart. "Forget it, it's a good thing that the two of them can get closer."

"really?"

Alicia obviously thought more than Ai Yue did, and couldn't help but look at him with a half-smile, "Are you sure?"

If two people who were originally at odds with each other and restrained each other reach an agreement, then they will obviously have more energy to use on other things, right?

Alicia wanted to warn them, but considering the chaotic situation among these people, she finally decided not to get involved in this mess.

But she still couldn't bear to leave Ai Yue alone, so she asked: "Do you need me to stay here tonight?"

If there are outsiders present, it can at least have a certain deterrent effect.

"what?"

Ai Yue didn't think as clearly as Alicia did, or rather, he hadn't thought about it in that direction at all. He was simply happy that their relationship had improved, so he didn't realize what Alicia meant. "Although it's definitely okay for you to stay, I definitely don't need it."

Seeing that Ai Yue still didn't understand what she meant, Ailishiya couldn't help but shook her head, with a gloating smile on her lips: "In that case, then you should take care of yourself."

Without waiting for Ai Yue to respond, she started talking about another topic: "By the way, besides the matter of Daisy and Amo, there is one more thing I want to consult you about."

Ai Yue's train of thought was immediately diverted by the other party: "I knew you weren't here just for this matter. Tell me, do you have any other needs for equipment upgrades?"

"Neither. It's just a personal doubt of mine."

Alicia hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If I've been having the same dream frequently lately, is that normal?"

71

Chapter 71 I, the Ruler.

Do you often have the same dream?

Hearing Alicia's question, Ai Yue couldn't help but frown: "How often do you do this?"

"It's been going on for almost a month, right? Or more than twenty days?"

Alicia said uncertainly, "I dream about it almost every night. Even though it's only for a short time, it's really strange, isn't it?"

"If I've been dreaming about this almost every day for over twenty days, that's definitely a strange thing."

Ai Yue nodded and said, "You should have come to see me earlier."

If an ordinary person encountered such a problem, Ai Yue would at most say, "You're under too much pressure, take a good rest." But Alicia is different. Her special identity makes this already strange thing even more bizarre.

Because she is the first Herrscher to appear in this world.

If ordinary people have the same dream repeatedly, it may really be due to the stress of life and lack of rest. However, if a Herrscher has the same dream repeatedly, Ai Yue's first reaction is that "the Cocoon of the End is causing trouble."

After all, in the original game setting, Honkai Beast's way of thinking is something that seems like "dreaming" to humans. If you combine these two and think about them together, it is not difficult to feel a sense of conspiracy.

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but then this dream...became clearer and clearer."

Alicia lifted the hair from her ear and frowned slightly. "I had already looked for Mei before coming here, but she didn't find anything abnormal."

If the secret of the Cocoon of the End could be detected so easily, human civilization wouldn't have to work so hard.

Ai Yue originally wanted to use the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher to examine Alicia, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

What Alicia said was beyond Ai Yue's understanding of the original plot, which made it difficult for him not to wonder whether this situation was caused by his appearance. If the dream Alicia had was really related to the Cocoon of the End, then rashly using the power of the Eighth Herrscher to provoke her would obviously not be a good idea.

"You said the dreams were becoming clearer and clearer,"

After listening to Alicia's words, Ai Yue suddenly thought of something, "That means you can now recall the details of your dream, right?"

“I can’t say I remember it all, but I can certainly recall the general situation.”

Alicia nodded. This abnormal situation was one of the reasons why she was alert. After all, normally, things in a dream would gradually fade after waking up. How could they become clearer and clearer?

"Let's do a basic check first. My equipment is a bit better than Dr. Mei's, so maybe we can find something."

Ai Yue stood up and walked towards the door of the hall. "Then, I hope you can do your best to restore the scenes or details in the dream through painting, okay?"

Ai Yue did not directly ask what was in Alicia's dream, because words can easily be biased and contain subjective intentions, which can easily lead to deviations.

Although drawing it directly will inevitably be influenced by Alicia's own perspective, it is obviously much more intuitive than oral description and is more convenient for repeated research.

"no problem."

Alicia followed behind Ai Yue and nodded in agreement, "It's a good opportunity for you to see my painting skills!"

The two left the hall, but happened to run into Mebius and Aponia who were walking towards them. Seeing Alicia suddenly appear here, the two subconsciously looked at each other, obviously they had not expected to appear in such a scene.

"Hi~ Are you surprised to see me?"

Alicia said hello, "Don't worry, I'll be leaving soon and won't stay here overnight."

"Why are you saying this?"

Mebius looked away guiltily, then changed the subject, "So, why are you here so late? Is there something urgent?"

Aponia didn't say anything, but her eyes were focused on Alicia, and she obviously wanted to know the reason.

"It's not urgent, I just happened to have time."

Alicia briefly described it, "This is what happened..."

"You and Ai Yue are quite similar in some ways,"

After listening to Alicia's description, Mebius couldn't help but complain, and then he became serious, "But these recurring dreams, and they're getting clearer and clearer, sound weird no matter how you look at them."

"I don't sense anything unusual from you."

Aponia stared at Alicia for a long moment, then slowly spoke, "However, my ability has no effect on you anyway, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

There are only two people in the world who are chaos in Aponia's eyes. At this moment, they are both standing in front of him, but compared to Ai Yue who has the ability to influence the fate of the people around him, Alicia seems to be able to influence only herself.
