I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Page 19

"Woo!"

But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the adrenaline that had been overdrawn gradually subsided.

The pain accumulated over the years and the erosion of Honkai energy came flooding back.

"Ha ha……"

Ji Zi's breathing became more and more rapid, but her body's reaction to lack of oxygen became more and more intense.

She was a little surprised at first with her eyes wide open, but soon, knowing everything, Ji Zi was no longer nervous, but looked relieved.

"I see... this can't be helped..."

Her vision began to become blurry, and in the haze, she could only make out Ye Ming's figure.

"I must... go to Ye Ming..."

Ji Zi suddenly remembered something. She struggled to stand up and staggered towards Ye Ming at her fastest speed.

"I've already... regretted it once..."

Unlike her increasingly blurry vision, the memory of Jizi's failed kiss became clearer and clearer in her mind.

"It's so hard... to have another chance..."

Because of the collapse of the imaginary space, Ji Zi's journey was not easy. Fortunately, Ye Ming also noticed Ji Zi's strange behavior and took the initiative to come to her side.

"what happened?"

Ji Zi did not respond, but held Ye Ming tightly with her hands, greedily feeling everything about him.

“I want to finish here what I couldn’t do before.”

"Hey? Here?"

The platform under Ye Ming's feet has begun to collapse. It won't be long before the entire imaginary space disappears. This is really not a good time to express love.

"please……"

Jizi said in a pleading tone:

"It won't... take you a long time."

As she spoke, Ji Zi leaned on Ye Ming without permission, as if she was in a hurry.

"Himeko?"

Ye Ming sensed something, and a trace of uneasy pain flashed through his heart.

But at this time Ji Zi had already given him a bloody kiss, so Ye Ming had no choice but to slowly close his eyes and wait for Ji Zi's willfulness.

"..."

"?!"

However, the long-awaited touch on the lips did not come.

The moment before Ji Zi's face touched Ye Ming, she tilted weakly to one side, and finally she fell into Ye Ming's arms.

There were originally two more lines at the end, but I deleted them for fear of being criticized for being out of context.

I really didn't mean to interrupt the chapter on purpose, I hope my readers can understand.

25. Destined Death

"Himeko?"

Feeling that the girl in his arms was losing body temperature, Ye Ming's eyes began to tremble.

"Hey! Jizi! Don't scare me..."

In fact, he already understood what was going on in the current situation, but Ye Ming was unwilling and unable to accept this fact.

"Himeko! Can you hear me?!"

There was no response in her pulse and heartbeat, and her breathing had stopped, but Ye Ming still wanted to call Ji Zi to make her open her eyes.

“Why… is this happening…”

The devastating fact made Ye Ming's mind go blank, and the feeling of powerlessness swept through his body like a mountain torrent and tsunami.

I have done everything I can. Himeko was not fatally injured, and the Herrscher of the Sky turned back into Kiana.

The story of a hero saving a beauty should have ended perfectly at this moment!

"Woo!"

Just when Ye Ming felt most powerless, the platform under his feet completely collapsed.

Ye Ming, who lost his balance, fell backwards, while Ji Zi's broken body fell in the opposite direction.

The two were forced to separate...

Although Ye Ming tried several times to rush over and bring Ji Zi back, the broken imaginary space continued to sprinkle sharp crystal rain between the two of them.

It was as if blocking their farewell which was too late.

"Ye Ming, it's very dangerous here!"

BT grabbed Ye Ming with his hands and pulled him back into his cockpit.

"You're just in time! Bring Himeko back!"

"It's meaningless to do that."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Have you forgotten protocol three!?"

"Ye Ming..."

BT said in a low voice:

"Murata Himeko, vital signs have disappeared and biological signals are no longer displayed."

"..."

In fact, Ye Ming had known about this for a long time, but when BT used the most objective data to make a verdict, he still felt his scalp tingling.

"What exactly went wrong..."

"Murata Himeko's vital signs have been very weak. Although she has not suffered a fatal injury, the erosion in her body will worsen as long as she enters the battle."

BT reported the previously scanned and stored data.

"For her, every second she uses her power is a waste of her life."

"If I had arrived ten minutes earlier..."

"According to calculations, even if you arrived ten minutes earlier, Himeko Muliangta's life could only be extended by half an hour at most."

"What if I arrive before the battle begins? And I don't want her to get hurt at all!?"

"Even so, her life can only be extended by three hours. The burden of that suit of armor is too great for a human."

"What if...what if..."

Ye Ming hypothesized in a crying voice:

"If I had joined the battle before Himeko found the armor... No! If I had joined the battle when Kiana was taken away..."

"Ye Ming, in the past ten years, Wuliangta Jizi's body has suffered too much irreversible damage."

BT showed Ye Ming Ji Zi's physical data and said:

"Even if this incident hadn't happened, Wuliangta Jizi wouldn't have survived until next year. Ye Ming, this is her destined death."

"What did you say?"

Doesn't this mean that every day I spend with Ji Zi is a countdown for her?

"Could it be that Ji Zi...had already understood..."

After realizing this, Ye Ming immediately recalled what Ji Zi said when she was drunk yesterday:

——"Hehe~~ The time we spent together, let alone getting drunk, I will remember it even if I turn into ashes!"

It was not until now that Ye Ming understood what Ji Zi was feeling at that time.

"Didn't I manage that?"

The more deeply Ye Ming felt Ji Zi's love for him, the more intense the pain in his heart became.

"Traveler, friend, lover, her hero..."

"In the end... I didn't accomplish anything..."

Tears fell silently, gathering into a stream bit by bit.

Every time the pupils dilate, more tear-like pain pours out.

"Ye Ming..."

In the studio, the girls who were watching this video began to tremble with heartstrings when they saw Ye Ming crying.

It was the first time they saw Ye Ming cry, and also the first time they felt distressed for Ye Ming.

That unspeakable pain, like every drop of unwillingness that dripped from Ye Ming's eyes, would fall into their hearts.

It was at this moment that they finally understood what Ye Ming had said unintentionally that day...

——"I am not strong at all. I may be more fragile than everyone here."

What exactly does that mean.

"Jizi, think of a solution quickly."

Keqing, who was so sad that she could hardly breathe, said:

"Ye Ming is crying for you."

"Is this my fault? Ugh...it seems like it is indeed my fault, but there is nothing I can do about it."

Ji Zi felt sorry for Ye Ming, but the self in the video had already passed away. As a viewer, could she still break through the dimensional wall and go to Ye Ming's side?

“Not only Sister Ji Zi, even Ye Ming… woo!”

Mei couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned her head away.

And Kiana beside her was even more vulnerable:

"It's all my fault... It's all my fault... If I hadn't become the Herrscher of the Void..."

"Everyone! Calm down for a moment!"

Nashida, the youngest of the group, suddenly became like a mother and began to comfort everyone:

"This is just a fictional story, a fan video, don't take it too seriously."

"But, but..."

Kiana said with tears in her eyes:

"It feels so real! It's as immersive as the last lesson."

"I... feel the same way..."

Jizi pressed her brows, she could feel something gathering in her mind.
