But why did the Herrscher of the Void show her this?
Kiana had heard that prisoners about to be executed could choose their last meal before death, which was a kind of humanitarian concern.
But will the Herrscher also be like this?
Wanting to let the loser himself experience the last bit of warmth before leaving? Kiana was puzzled.
"Haha, you're being conceited again," the chuckle from the door interrupted Kiana's increasingly confused thoughts. She turned her head and saw Gu Che holding a water cup, leaning against the door and looking at her with a teasing look in his eyes, "Xilin, why don't you try to ask, Mirror, Mirror, who is the cutest girl in the world?"
Kiana was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Then I guess the magic mirror will definitely say that, of course it's Xilin~" Gu Che smiled, walked to Xilin's side, handed her the water, and didn't forget to nag, "Really, brother finally, with a lot of hardship to bring you the water, but Xilin finished it, brother is so embarrassed."
As he spoke, Gu Che's face revealed a lost look, as if he was aggrieved and wanted to be comforted.
Qiana was even more embarrassed, because she didn't know how Xilin and Gu Che got along.
With her hands not knowing where to put them, she grabbed the corners of her clothes, Kiana's eyes were evasive, not knowing what to do.
"Eh? Xilin doesn't want to drink? If not, then I'll drink it." Gu Che's outstretched hand hung in the air for a long time, and no one saw Qiana coming to take it, so he felt a little confused.
Kiana then quickly took the water that Gu Che handed over and drank it in small sips. While looking at Gu Che's expression, she found that the other party was not angry, so she felt relieved.
It seems that Xilin's brother is a very easy-to-talk-to person, Kiana couldn't help but think in her heart.
Seeing Qiana's obedient appearance, Gu Che nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the bed, and said, "Xilin, go to bed, I will tell you a story."
Kiana nodded blankly, climbed onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt obediently as before, and stuck her head out to stare at Gu Che who was sitting beside the bed.
Gu Che took out the unfinished fairy tale book again, turned to the page he had just read, looked at the curious look in Qiana's eyes, smiled slightly, reached out and touched her head, and then said, "Where were we just now?"
Kiana had not yet recovered from the touch of Gu Che's head. When she heard Gu Che's question, she was stunned for a moment, with clear stupidity in her eyes.
"As mentioned before, Hansel and Gretel were extremely hungry in the forest. They were about to faint from hunger, and they found a candy house made entirely of candies in the forest."
Gu Che's voice was calm and gentle. After all, it was a bedtime story, and he was doing it with the purpose of lulling Xilin to sleep.
Kiana blinked her eyes. This story...she seemed to have heard it before, but also seemed not to have heard it...in short, she couldn't remember it.
After all, there was no way to get out of here for the time being. Instead of listening to a story to relieve boredom, I decided to wait for Gu Che to finish the story and leave, and then sneak out to see what was going on.
"Under the pressure of the old witch, Gretel had to help her feed her brother..."
"Smart Gretel figured out a way..."
"The old witch finally couldn't wait to eat Hansel, so she asked Gretel to boil water..."
"Grete finally came up with a solution. She pretended that she couldn't tell whether the water had boiled or not, and lured the evil old witch over. When the old witch was watching the water by the cauldron, she pushed the old witch in!"
"Grete, who was not loved by her stepmother and abandoned by her father, finally saved her brother..."
Kiana originally wanted to listen to the story just for fun, but before long she became fascinated and attracted by the brave Gretel in the story.
Both were abandoned, both were misunderstood, and both were oppressed by the powerful. How is this different from Kiana now?
But Gretel did save herself and her brother with her strong heart and brave actions. So, what couldn't she do?
Just as Kiana was thinking this, a familiar voice exploded in her ears.
"Get out of here!" That was the Herrscher of the Void, and there was anger in his voice.
Kiana:? ? ?
Zhang: Where is Fu Hua?! Where is a Fu Hua as old as me?!
[The main quest: Elegy for the Sinner has been started...]
[The first act of the main storyline: Sky Meteor has begun...]
[Act 1: Sky Meteor: Find out the hidden crisis in Sky City and solve it.]
[After completing the first act, the battle assist function will be automatically enabled... (Use the righteous group attack on him quickly!!!)]
[After completing the first act of the main quest, rewards will be given based on the evaluation. ]
.........................
"Get out of here!!!" The voice of the Herrscher of the Void seemed to ring in her ears. Kiana was in a trance for a moment, and everything around her seemed to be frozen.
The flickering lights outside the window stopped flickering, the pedestrians on the street stopped moving, and even the black-haired boy sitting in front of the bed telling a story stopped moving. His smooth and gentle voice was gone, and his right hand that was turning the pages of the book also stopped in mid-air.
Kiana was stunned. Everything around her was fading and then losing its color. The Herrscher of the Void appeared from somewhere and glared at her, his golden eyes full of anger.
The girl couldn't help but become alert and prepared for a fight.
"Get out of here!" The Sky Queen waved her hand, and Kiana's eyes became chaotic again, and her vision began to darken...
In the end, Kiana's eyes fell on the Queen of the Sky, and doubts arose in her heart.
There is no other reason. The Herrscher of the Void is not in a normal state at this moment. Her eyes are slightly red and there are unknown tears in the corners of her eyes. It is obvious that this may not be caused by her anger...
Is she crying? Kiana couldn't help wondering, but why?
Before Kiana could figure it out, her consciousness fell into darkness again. She stood in this endless darkness, walking aimlessly, walking aimlessly...
People are born to hate darkness and loneliness, and the loneliness of darkness is even more terrifying to Kiana. Kiana opened her eyes wide and observed the road ahead. Time has been boiled into an unformed liquid, soaking her in it, like amber.
Maybe this is my ending?
Kiana couldn't help but think that the Herrscher of the Void had finally discovered her loophole and expelled her from her memory, leaving her world in darkness...
But suddenly, a beam of light appeared at the edge of the darkness. The light was not bright, but it was particularly conspicuous in the darkness. Without thinking too much, Kiana rushed towards the light and stretched out her hand towards the light.
Kiana woke up and opened her eyes. What she saw was a familiar yet unfamiliar face of a young boy with dark hair, dark pupils, and an oriental face.
Gu Che.
This was the name that Kiana naturally thought of. She had seen this boy in Xilin's memory. Although he looked older than the boy in her memory, Kiana had a hunch that the boy in her memory and the one in front of her were the same person, not twins who looked alike.
"Um, miss, is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Che, who was sitting in front of her, smiled awkwardly and looked down at his hand that was being held.
Kiana followed Gu Che's gaze and realized that her right hand had grabbed the other person's hand without her knowing when. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly withdrew her hand, pretending to be calm and said, "Ahem, who are you?"
"My name is Gu Che, a Kamen Rider passing by." Gu Che smiled and said proudly.
Kiana nodded secretly, confirming her guess, but also feeling a little strange.
Why did I feel such an inexplicable sense of closeness when I saw Gu Che...
How is this going?
Without giving Kiana much time to think, Gu Che started asking questions about her after introducing himself.
"What's your name, young lady?"
"My name is..." Kiana paused here, hesitant for a moment.
Even though she felt an inexplicable closeness to the boy in front of her, she couldn't trust a stranger just because of this inexplicable closeness. Kiana was no longer the paramecium that only relied on her companions for everything.
The girl thought for a moment and slowly said, "My name is Theresa."
She will not reveal her real name because she is wanted.
Kiana originally wanted to call herself Xilin, but then she thought that the Gu Che in front of her seemed to be Xilin's brother. Even if there was such a possibility, Kiana didn't want to take the risk.
For a person’s wandering life, the cost of trial and error is too low.
But Gu Che was stunned after hearing this, but he quickly recovered, not letting Kiana notice the doubts and confusion in his heart: "Okay, Miss Theresa, can I call you that?"
"Just do as you please." Kiana looked at Gu Che deeply. The other's eyes were very clean, as clear as a lake, without any impurities.
Gu Che was opening the simulator panel at this time and found that the target point corresponding to the main task was flashing clearly above Kiana's head. He was speechless for a moment.
[Mission target: Kiana Kaslana (bound, cannot be modified)]
Theresa???
Gu Che had a brainstorm. He thought there was nothing wrong with his hearing. He did hear Theresa's name, and it was Kiana who called herself that. His test received a positive answer from Kiana.
That's easy.
One of Kiana and the simulator has to go crazy, but Gu Che trusts the powerful simulator more than Kiana when they first met.
Gu Che took a deep look at Kiana, who was impersonating his aunt, and couldn't help but associate her with himself who was impersonating Otto, and his expression became more and more satisfied.
Although Kiana does not know Gu Che in this world, this does not prevent the sister who has called her brother for several years from recognizing her.
But the only thing that made Gu Che a little annoyed now was that he didn’t know the current situation of the world environment. He had just arrived here and was completely confused.
[2017]
This is what Gu Che found on the screen of the electronic device in this dilapidated little house.
The time span was too long, and it was difficult for him to sort out the information. The timeline of the first and second simulations was around 2000, and the two simulations did not cover such a long period of time.
One was to call in advance, and the other was to send it directly. In general, Gu Che did not have such a long period of blank memory from 2000 to 2017.
【Find out the hidden crisis in Sky City and solve it. 】
Although this was the mission, Gu Che was unable to move forward for the time being. He felt a bit like a headless fly, not knowing where to start.
He suddenly missed the [Hacker] talent from the first simulation.
Tianqiong City. Although Gu Che had not visited this city for long, he already had a preliminary understanding of it.
A city of technology. Whether it is the stunning mecha or the cyberpunk-style architecture, everything shows that this city is different.
If the [hacker] is here, there will be no worry about not being able to find information... and I also forgot to ask Mr. Walter about what happened after 2000, which was a big mistake.
Gu Che secretly made a decision in his heart that after he went out this time, he must ask Mr. Walter about the whole process of the collapse of his world. Even if the subsequent development would be very different due to his interference, at least he would not be in the dark.
But now is not the time to feel sorry for myself. Since the character bound to the main quest is Kiana, this quest must be related to Kiana as well. As long as I follow her, I will naturally find a solution.
As he spoke, Gu Che looked at Qiana, who was looking at the situation in the room with a vigilant look on her face, and couldn't help but smile: "Theresa, do you want some water?"
"Oh, okay, thank you." Kiana responded subconsciously, and then she suddenly realized that she agreed to it?
Isn't this too careless? Kiana, Kiana, you can't do this anymore!
You have to do your best!
"Gurgle~" Her stomach made an inopportune sound. Kiana was stunned when she heard the sound. She first looked at Gu Che, and saw the helpless expression on Gu Che's face, as if he wanted to laugh but was forcing himself to hold it back. Her face turned red again.
Kiana could see it, and although she wanted to do well, her stomach seemed to have a different opinion.
It is said that if you don’t fight for a bun, you fight for your dignity. Kiana’s belly doesn’t want to fight for dignity, but for a bun.
Kiana lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Gu Che sighed and murmured, "It's a bit difficult to deal with. I'll help you look for it."
This house was found by Gu Che temporarily. Because of the sudden collapse event, the nearby residents who were not killed by the collapse beasts basically all ran away. After Gu Che cleared the collapse beasts in this area, he found a relatively intact house as a temporary place to stay.
The water is bottled mineral water stored in the refrigerator. As for food, although there are raw materials in the refrigerator, Gu Che is really in a difficult situation now that the water, electricity and gas have been cut off.
Under Kiana's somewhat embarrassed gaze, Gu Che rummaged around and finally found some bread that was well packaged. The plastic film on the outside was not damaged. After habitually glancing at the production date, Gu Che tore open the package and handed it to Kiana:
"That's all we have. Just make do with it."
Kiana was stunned for a moment, looking at the bread in front of her, and forced herself to suppress the urge to reach out and take it.
Be reserved, be reserved! Don't be so careless anymore!
"What's wrong, Miss Theresa, do you want me to feed you?" Gu Che chuckled, "I don't have any problem, but are you really okay, Miss Theresa?"
"No, thanks." Kiana suddenly remembered the scene in her memory where she was fed by Gu Che, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed again.
Although the girl being fed in my memory is indeed Xilin, it is indeed an immersive experience...
Throwing aside the complicated thoughts in her mind, Kiana took the bread handed to her by Gu Che and started eating it in small bites.
Forget it, I'll talk about being reserved next time...
Remember someone said that man is iron and rice is steel, and he will be hungry if he doesn't eat for a meal.
After finishing the bread in a few bites, Kiana licked her tongue, feeling her stomach which was somewhat full but still had some space left. She felt a little unsatisfied, after all, she hadn't had a full meal for a long time.
In this regard, Ms. Fu, who had been wandering in Tianqiong City with Kiana for so long, said that following Kiana, she would go hungry for nine meals in three days. Although Ms. Fu really has no time to say these things now, she has long been too busy.
Just when Kiana was still hesitating whether to eat more, a loaf of bread that had just been unpacked was handed to her. Kiana was stunned for a moment, then took the bread and continued to eat.
I felt a little warm in my heart, somehow, but this feeling was quickly suppressed by Kiana.
"Do you want to eat more, Miss Theresa?" Gu Che couldn't help but ask when he saw Qiana finished eating.
It must be said that even though he already knew Kiana's identity, Gu Che didn't blush when he called her Theresa. After all, he often put Otto's vest on his head.
