Collapse, I save everything alone

Besides, it shouldn't be him who does this.

The task of defending the Oceania branch should really be left to the Valkyrie herself.

Well, the most important thing he should do now is to solve the problem with Wendy first. As long as the girl can master the power of the Desire Gem, all the subsequent crises and troubles will be solved.

and……

Mingyu looked up at the surveillance camera near the base entrance that the Jackal had opened earlier, and Anna's condition was not good.

She was no match for Stan, and it would take some time for her to get back to the surface from here, so she might not be able to catch up.

So, let’s go back in time.

………………

Time went back, and Mingyu once again returned to the night he had just spent with Anna the day before.

Looking at the chestnut-haired girl sleeping peacefully on the other bed, he smiled and then looked out the window.

He began to think about specific ways to save Wendy.

According to Jackal's thinking, there are two most critical steps. One is to eliminate the Honkai energy in Wendy, and the other is to cover the will in the gem.

The former was not a difficult task. As for HSN-b46 serum, he already had a bottle of it.

——When I rescued Dr. Maki in Singapore, he gave the serum to me before leaving. It can be used now.

Therefore, it was a very simple matter for him to use the serum to neutralize the Honkai energy in Wendy's body.

The problem lies in the next step -

After putting Wendy and the Gem of Desire in her body into a dormant state, the next thing to do is to overwrite the will in the gem.

In the Jackal's plan, she prepared a variety of experiments to try, and also sought the help of the being named "Feather Rabbit" as a trump card to completely cover up the dark will in the Desire Gem.

Mingyu certainly couldn't ask [Yutu] for help, nor did he have the same experimental methods as that devil scientist, so he could only look for other alternatives.

Hmm... looking for other psychic-perceptive masters who can fight against [Xilin]'s will?

This is not easy to find. Psychic-perception warriors are rare, and the number of those still alive on Earth can probably be counted on one hand.

Su, Yutu, and Aponia are still alive, but she has merged with [Paradise] and cannot get out.

As for relying on Yu Duchen himself... he had already experimented on Wendy recently. With the Yu Duchen he created using [Projection Magic], he could only stabilize the girl's condition and prevent it from getting worse, but he couldn't cure it completely.

Mingyu pondered hard, considering whether there were any alternative options.

Suddenly, an idea emerged in his mind.

——You don't have to be a psychic-perceptive warrior to influence the gem's will on Wendy, right?

How about... using Xilin to fight against [Xilin]?

Chapter 192: Beautiful and Kind-hearted Xilinlin

The dark will remaining in the Conquest Gem originated from the girl, Sirin, who died in the second collapse more than ten years ago.

And beside Mingyu, there is indeed someone who is almost exactly the same as Xilin.

Although they are not from the same world...but since they are both Herrschers of the Void, both are "Sirin", they should be able to play a similar role, right?

Therefore, if he asked Xilin, whom he knew, for help, perhaps he could directly cleanse the remaining will in the gem, and the effect might be better than using other means.

Ok……

Mingyu glanced out the window.

It's a good opportunity to go and ask Xilin while it's night.

Considering that he was teleported to Sakura's bathing scene by Rin the last time he obtained it, this time, he planned to ask in advance.

He closed his eyes and contacted the girl in the stigmata space.

"Hmm? Xiao Xiaobai, are you looking for me~"

The girl's voice rang briskly in his mind.

Ever since the incident with Higashimaru ended, Rin's voice is no longer as weak as it was when she was sick, but is always full of vitality and cuteness.

"Well, I want to go to your place. I have something to discuss with Xilin."

Mingyu said honestly.

"Um~Are you going to come now?"

Rin's voice seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"Well, better now."

Mingyu didn't think too much about it.

"Okay, then Xiao Xiaobai, come here~"

………………

After many days, he visited Yaezakura's stigmata space again, but this time, his destination was no longer the cabin under the cherry tree.

What appeared before Mingyu was a vast open-air hot spring.

Hot steam was floating above the hot spring, the water was rippling, and a light source that appeared from nowhere drove away the night, allowing Mingyu to vaguely catch a glimpse of the three girls.

——In such a rare open-air hot spring, three girls are enjoying themselves.

Ying and Xilin both tied up their long hair and fixed it behind their heads with white jade hairpins. Only Lin avoided this step because she had short hair.

In any case, the beauty of the three beautiful girls in the hot spring is quite pleasing to the eye.

"So you are..."

Mingyu hesitated to speak.

"You, you, you—why did you come here suddenly!"

The one who screamed was a certain pufferfish.

"Long time no see, Mingyu."

Sakura didn't seem to care that much.

"Xiao Xiaobai, do you want to come with us?"

Lin even smiled slightly, stretched out her white arms directly from the hot spring, and beckoned him to share the warmth of this cold winter night.

Looking at the girl's fair skin and faintly visible delicate collarbone, Mingyu blinked and agreed as a matter of course.

………………

A moment later, Mingyu, who had changed into clothes for taking a hot spring bath, swaggered into the hot spring pool and sat next to Lin.

He leaned against the shore with his arms outstretched, lying on his back in the hot spring pool.

Phew...it's quite comfortable. The feeling of an open-air hot spring is indeed somewhat different from that of an artificial hot spring.

"I thought you would be shy, little Bai."

"Not really."

Having made such a shameful declaration of being a scumbag to Mei and Seele, he is extremely shameless in this regard.

"Come to think of it, why did you suddenly want to take a hot spring bath?"

"Last time, didn't you tell us, Xiao Xiaobai, that you went on a hot spring trip with Mei and the others? The three of us discussed it and decided to experience the feeling of a hot spring here, so we created this place."

Rin explained with a chuckle.

This is not a real stigmata space, but as the owner here, she can change the environment here as she wishes, and it is very easy to create an open-air hot spring.

"correct……"

Lin moved a little closer, almost... no, she was already sticking to him.

Then, the girl raised her head and whispered in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Would you like me to rub your back? I would definitely agree~"

"..."

Mingyu imagined the scene: the miko with a proud figure was only wrapped in a bath towel, serving him with her slender hands.

Well, it's really good, but...

"Although it is a very tempting proposal, but...I have to refuse it."

Well, he came here for business, so he should finish it first.

Next time, next time for sure.

"Hey~ Xiao Xiaobai must be here to look for Xilinlin again."

The cherry-colored girl pouted slightly.

"Xilinlin?"

Mingyu felt a little curious about this cute name.

"This is the nickname I gave to Xilin. Don't you think it sounds cute?"

There is one thing to say, indeed.

She is already very cute, and if she is given a cute name, she will be doubly cute.

Mingyu nodded in agreement.

"Then you should go find Xilin and do your business first."

The cherry-colored girl left his side and swam away like a fish.

This open-air hot spring was quite large. Mingyu looked around before he saw the purple figure in a corner.

Without hesitation, he stood up and walked straight towards the girl.

Seeing him approaching, Xilin became obviously nervous:

"You, you, you...what are you doing..."

"I have a favor to ask of you."

Mingyu sat down next to the purple-haired girl.

"……whats the matter?"

"Well... well..."

Mingyu groaned.

Before asking this Xilin in front of him for help, he thought it necessary to tell her the history of Xilin in this world.

After all, what she had experienced was quite different from what Silin, Kiana's predecessor, had experienced.

After thinking for a while, Mingyu said:

"Xilin, you should know that my world and your world... have many similarities."

"Well, I know that."

During the last fireworks festival, she had asked Mingyu about this matter.

This world also has St. Freya Academy and the Savior Organization, but "Sirin" does not seem to exist.

Besides, compared to her time in the Tower of Babel, this was a more "future" time.

"...Next, I will tell you a story, a story about [Xilin]."

Then, Mingyu began to talk about the second collapse, and told the girl beside him in detail about the fate and experiences of Xilin in this world.

Whether it was what happened in the Tower of Babel, the gift from God received on the moon, the all-out war that affected the entire Siberia, or the final... the death of Sirin.

"..."

After listening to Mingyu's story, Xilin fell silent.

"Xilin...?"

"No, wait...it's a bit confusing, let me sort it out..."

The amount of information was too much for the girl's small head to handle.
