Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Something's wrong. What's the price...?!"

Li Mo rushed to the window and opened it, only to see the same scene outside. To get more accurate data, Li Mo wished for ten minutes of ghost vision. He peered into the world and discovered a massive black shadow looming above the Earth.

No, to be precise it is not a black shadow. It has no substance and cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Li Mo could see it only because the ghost captured the strange aura and condensed it into an outline.

"What's going on? A vast and strange world... outside of this? How is this possible?"

Li Mo was stunned. He had seen many strange things, but without exception, they were all confined within the world, that is, people, things, and even certain physical, philosophical, and behavioral concepts within human cognition.

But this is the first time I have seen something as huge and strange as this one.

Li Mo's mouth suddenly opened uncontrollably, muttering words that he could not understand.

Gradually, these incomprehensible words turned into the Shenzhou language that Li Mo was most familiar with: "He seems to be still sleeping in the chaos, about to open his eyes to peek at the stardust - the person of Yicheng."

"Who is the one who completed the ceremony?"

"You?"

"I……"

"What am I talking about? No, that's not right. It's that weird thing that's taking over my body."

Li Mo quickly understood the current situation. The huge monster was the cause of the spread of weirdness in the original world, and it was also the weirdness that Mei deliberately brought about.

The incomprehensible words that he used to control his body at the beginning were just his way of adapting to this body.

What I just said means:

It seemed as if He was still asleep, about to open His eyes to take a peek at the people on this planet who had completed the ritual.

Who completed the ceremony?

you?

"It's me." Li Mo couldn't help but speak, and then he came to his senses. His body was no longer under the control of his brain at that moment.

No, the brain was transformed, and the consciousness was changed in an instant without any resistance.

"and many more……"

Li Mo realized the seriousness of the problem. The Doom Ghost, which was protecting its consciousness, had gone silent when its body lost control just now...

Yes, it didn't say a single word, even more straightforward than when it faced Guiqi.

This means... the monster above the earth is more terrifying than Guiqi.

"I have to go back in time and see what happened. He must have received a 'wish' and fallen into silence. The price he paid is probably the fading and freezing of the world."

"I don't know why the price of making a wish is this, but the good news is that I'm still conscious. If I go back to the time before I made the wish and make a more specific wish, I might be able to completely resolve this crisis."

For example, turning one cost into another.

Changed the process of determining weirdness.

"I, Li Moxu..."

"Pfft!!"

His heart suddenly began to beat violently, and Li Mo lost control of his body and fell to the ground. When he regained consciousness, he found himself falling endlessly into the deep sea...

"Well!"

Dark, cold, dead, unknown, terrifying...

The pressure of the sea water became heavier as the depth increased, as if it was going to crush every inch of his skin and every bone.

Li Mo subconsciously wanted to use the pseudo-man's strange ability to go back to the past, but he tried many times without success.

In this increasingly dark deep sea, all strange abilities and laws are suppressed.

"Uuuuuuuuuuu!!"

“Ugh…!”

The sea water continued to pour into Li Mo's nasal cavity and throat. His limbs waved helplessly in the water, trying to paddle upwards.

Li Mo's strong physique gave him the physical strength and skills to surpass the world champion, but as time went by, Li Mo found that the sea pressure and brightness around him did not improve. He seemed to be falling all the time while trying to swim upstream.

Finally, Li Mo, exhausted, had his limbs stiff and was no longer able to swim upstream.

"Well……"

The body was crushed and repaired bit by bit by the pressure of the sea, crushed again and repaired again.

The strange recovery ability did not work and was suppressed, but the sea water was like a strange original recovery force, giving Li Mo new life again and again.

Despite this, Li Mo still couldn't swim back to the surface.

Like a "drowning person", watching oneself fall into the abyss forever...

No...I can't close my eyes...

I must not...die here...

The desire to survive forced Li Mo to wake up from the chaos again and again, even if what awaited him after waking up was endless pain and despair.

In this deep sea where there is no hope or light, even the most resilient consciousness will collapse. This has nothing to do with determination of will or identity.

Li Mo didn't know how long he had been falling, maybe only a few minutes, or maybe it had been several years.

His concept of time became increasingly blurred and gradually lost its boundaries.

Eternity and the moment are separated by only a thin barrier. With a slight touch, they will completely merge into the deep ocean, indistinguishable from each other.

It seems that this is the reason why I can't sense the passage of time.

All around was a thick darkness that not even light could penetrate. Beneath the sea, the familiar black fog filled the air again, covering the water in an incomprehensible way.

"I know your real name."

"…………"

Who is speaking?

Li Mo tried his best to catch it with his hazy vision, but there was no one beside him, only dead silence and darkness.

It was a darkness that not even ghosts could see clearly.

Except for the first sentence, Li Mo couldn't hear the rest of the words.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Mo saw a silhouette. The moment he looked at it, his consciousness was instantly distorted.

Not human, not ghost, not object, not existence...

My mind was in chaos, as if that was the state of a ghost after falling into silence.

His mind was in a state of confusion, as if he had fallen into an endless void. What was reflected in his eyes was not the form of anything in the world.

The soul has become an endless sea of fog, and every thought is like a lost ship, drifting blindly in the sea, unable to find its way home.

The boundary between memory and reality becomes blurred, and the warm daily life of the past is intertwined with the terrifying scenes...

Madness and chaos invade from the unknown void, filling every period of time and space.

Li Mo's memory was like him some time ago, falling, falling, falling in the deep sea...

Until there is no light and no shadow.

Like a soul closing its eyes, it sinks into silence at the bottom of the deep sea.

However, the glimmer of soul that should have been eroded by the sea was held in the arms of a girl in a white shirt.

Pollution is inevitable and will not dissipate. The only way to avoid it is to move...

Chapter 1 Bronya Zajcek

Eight years after the Great Collapse—

On a dark rainy night, the sky was weighed down by thick leaden clouds, making it low and depressing.

The drizzle fell continuously on the narrow and winding alleys. Every drop of rain carried a biting chill, penetrating the curtain of night and falling into the broken heart.

On both sides of the alley, the mottled walls were wet by rain, and traces of moss were faintly revealed in the peeling walls, adding a bit of coldness and desolation.

The figure covered in scars and almost exhausted leaned weakly against the cold and damp wall. Li Mo's clothes were soaked by the rain and stuck to his body, outlining his thin and tired body.

Next to me was a pile of moldy and smelly garbage. The stench was washed away by the rain, forming an indescribable pungent smell.

The hands that had once been so majestic, having dealt with countless strange encounters, now drooped limply in a nearby puddle. Rainwater and blood mixed together, forming patches of murky liquid. Occasionally, a few drops would splash up, then quickly blend into the dead silence.

Li Mo's fingers trembled slightly, as if he wanted to grasp something, but in the end, he could only let them sink powerlessly into the cold rain, just like Li Mo's current state - ignorant, chaotic, unknown, and bewildered...

The eye had returned to its full, living form, focused, with its glass lens intact. But it looked dull, reflecting only the small puddle in front of it.

It seemed that there was not only a small puddle, but also many human figures.

The puddle also reflected his haggard, dying figure. His face was pale and lonely, his eyes were empty and lost, as if he had lost all color and warmth.

A deathly silence enveloped the small alley, broken only by the sound of rain and the occasional ripples in the puddles.

Silently...

No waves...

Silently...

There is no light and no night...

Heartless and emotionless...

Endless and without end, without beginning or end...

The surrounding darkness seemed to swallow up Li Mo, who was silent in the alley, and the coldness of the rainy night penetrated his bones.

Like an abandoned rag doll, it is heading towards destruction without being noticed by anyone.

Li Mo didn't know how long he had been here, and there was no feedback.

The chill of the changing seasons, the pain of being eaten by cockroaches, rats, and wild dogs, the occasional surprised glance from passersby...

Is it important? I don’t know…

What to do? I don’t know…

Identity, origin, family, friends, common sense... I don't remember anything...

There is only endless confusion lingering in my heart, and I don’t know how to act.

No one approached him, and no one tried to wake him.

Li Mo was like a sleeping machine with the power unplugged, and he remained indifferent no matter what was happening in front of him.

As night falls, the city lights gradually outline a gentle contour.

"Hmm... making games is really hard. If only making games was as easy as fighting Honkai monsters."

"It's three in the morning. Let me think, what's available to eat outside at this hour?"

It was late at night after a busy day of work.

Bronya left the company and went to the street to look for a restaurant or street stall to fill her stomach.

However, it was too late, and most people in the Far East did not have the habit of outdoor nightlife, resulting in very few restaurants open at night.

There might still be barbecue stalls around one or two o'clock, but they are basically closed by three o'clock.

The wind tonight was a biting chill, gently brushing against the ends of her hair, causing Bronya to shiver.

Bronya felt strange. After all, she was also a Herrscher. Even though she had lost most of her power, it didn't mean she could easily feel the cold.

Her body had been forged to be cold-resistant since she was a child working as a mercenary in Siberia, not to mention after she became a Herrscher.

I took a look at my outfit. I was wearing a white sweater inside, a blue jacket outside, and black leggings.

It doesn't look like something that would make you feel cold.

"Is it because I stayed up too late that my health has deteriorated? I have to pay more attention to this in the future."
