Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

The figure disappeared from his sight in an instant, leaving only the lingering sound in Shen Yunie's ears. After coming to his senses, he immediately took a step forward and chased after the girl.

Shen Yunie's Honkai Energy was not high, and even if he ran as fast as he could, he could not match the girl's speed. When he ran to the end of the passage, the anti-entropy personnel standing guard were still very confused. They had also seen a girl disappear from their sight at a very fast speed before.

If they chased further, the end of the place was on the mountainside, about two or three hundred meters down. Shen Yunie saw Hua leaving, and the girl had no intention of staying, as if she was just going to take another look at him.

There was no emotion on that pretty face and her eyes were cold. After glancing at him, Hua jumped down from the railing.

The next moment, the collapse energy carried her floating in the air. Hua never looked back. She flew towards the higher sky until Shen Yunie could no longer see her figure.

"Wait until you think it through!"

121. Most importantly, resurrect Cecilia

They left so quickly that Shen Yunie didn't even have time to think or explain. The girl seemed really angry, and she probably needed to find a place to calm herself down for a while.

Shen Yunie raised his hand towards the sky where the girl's back had disappeared, then took it back in shock. Recalling the still sleeping Leah in his mind, his eyelids slowly drooped.

High in the sky, the clouds suddenly became solid objects. The girl quietly stepped on them and looked up. She saw the figure's back bend a little, turn around and gradually disappear from sight. Hua bit her lip, and the anger in her heart suddenly became less intense. She felt that she had done something wrong, and that depressed feeling was saying that she was right.

She was just brave and reckless in looking for love. But Shen Yunie really had something important to do, so she would not come to find her immediately.

This still didn't work. Hua was completely unsure of his love for her, and she couldn't get rid of the depression in her heart. The girl now just wanted to find a place where she could vent her remaining anger.

For example... destiny? She still had a score to settle with Otto, the man who killed her, and it had been dragging on for two years, so she might as well settle it now.

Hua shouted to the endless blue sky, "Shen Yunie, you will come to find me, right?!"

She didn't get a response, only the echo of the sound gradually passed on, and only a vague "yes" remained.

……

Shen Yunie couldn't hide Hua's departure, so when he told her, he also told her all the actual situation of the girl.

When he told it all, the room fell into a long silence. Except for Yaezakura, everyone's eyes were a little shocked. Although he could feel that the collapse energy was as deep as the abyss, it was still a different feeling to hear it with his own ears. Shen Yunie lived with a Herrscher for two years.

The Herrscher took over Fu Hua's original body, and a new soul was born from it, inheriting all her memories. The eyes and the personality expressed by the different way of doing things are the best proof.

Ji Zi reacted and asked, "That Hua...why did she leave?"

"Will there be any problems if we let her go?" Theresa also asked with a serious look on her face. The Herrscher they were preparing to wait for was actually right under their noses.

"Principal, I promise she won't cause any trouble. Hua's soul is very pure, like a piece of white paper that has never been polluted." Shen Yunie stood up and answered seriously.

Such a response eased Theresa's expression a lot. She believed in the pure soul of the girl, and the person who made the guarantee was Shen Yunie, so there was no need to worry.

Next, it was Shen Yunie's turn to answer Ji Zi's question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Some emotional issues."

Kiana asked directly: "She likes you, but the result of the conversation was not good?"

There was another dead silence. Realizing that she had said something wrong, the girl immediately lowered her head and hid it in Meiyi's arms. Yaezakura, who was sitting there quietly, raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yunie. She was calm and didn't seem to be affected by him.

Shen Yunie didn't say anything, just taking it as a tacit agreement. He was worried about Hua's safety. His heart had been beating slowly since she left in the afternoon, and his breathing was not smooth.

It's time to find her now. The sooner you find her, the easier it will be to coax her. This is the best way, but Shen Yunie has urgent things to do right now. Maybe he can only let the girl wait for a while, so that she can think clearly whether she really likes him, and not just the love that comes from dependence because she has been with him for too long.

"I will go find her in about two or three days. Before that, I have to do something." Shen Yunie broke the silence and turned his gaze to Kiana who was hiding in Meiyi's arms. "Kiana, I want to borrow your ability, and I want to wake Xilin up."

Kiana's pupils were dilated as she lay with her head down. She suddenly raised her head and asked, "Wake up Xilin?"

Many terrible memories immediately emerged in her mind, such as being possessed, hurting others, and even nearly inducing a greater degree of collapse. All of this was caused by Xilin. Kiana hated her and wanted to remove her from her body.

The girl's body trembled at the thought of waking her up, "Why?"

"I want to be resurrected, Cecilia." Shen Yunie waved to her, "Come with me, let me try as soon as possible. After all, I can't be sure of the success of this matter."

"But does this have anything to do with Xilin?" Qiana still questioned, and obediently stood up and walked over. Thinking that he was going to revive his mother so soon, the girl's eyes lit up.

Shen Yunie rubbed Qiana's head, hugged her shoulders and turned to walk out the door, "Yes, because Xilin is also my sister."

A large amount of information was transmitted again, and this time there was more information. For example, Ji Zi and Theresa had no idea that there was another soul hidden in Shen Yu Nie's body. Only Kiana and Yae Sakura knew more clearly, and they had followed him to the door.

"Shen Yunie!!"

The moment Shen Yunie opened the door, a scream came from behind. Theresa seemed to have lost her composure, her fair face flushed red, and the sound directly hit Ji Zi's eardrums, forcing her to cover her ears, with the same shocked expression.

"Why is Cecilia in your body?!" Theresa jumped up from the sofa and immediately grabbed Shen Yunie's hand, "Sit down and explain it to me first!"

Shen Yunie touched his earlobe. It was too troublesome to explain. He might not be able to finish it in a day and a night. He smiled at Theresa, pulled Yaezakura and Kiana out with his hands, and closed the door. "I'll explain to you after I'm done. Sister, help me put pressure on the principal."

There was a banging sound from the elm door. It was unclear whether Theresa was bumping into it or banging on it. Then, Jizi's voice was heard.

"Hey! Theresa, calm down!"

"Theresa..." Leah pinched her chin, looking thoughtful. In fact, she had recovered most of her memories two years ago, but she had been in a deep sleep for two years, and those memories were diluted a lot.

Memories emerged in my mind, many of which were about the time they spent alone together. That was my best friend, Theresa.

Leah was a little dissatisfied, "Yune, why don't you explain to her?"

"There's no end to our story." Shen Yunie curled her lips, "Sister Leah, are you angry with the principal and me?"

"Ah."

Shen Yunie said: "Let's think about how to explain it to Kiana if we succeed. I think this is more troublesome."

Leah's eyes slowly showed hope, and she smiled and said, "That's your business~ As for me, I just want to give my baby girl a hug."

She also hoped to really hug Kiana and Xilin. She unconsciously began to pray for the success of this experiment.

Hua's departure made Shen Yunie move up the time for everything. He took Kiana and Yae Sakura to sit in the empty room. Shen Yunie thought for a long time, "Sister Ying, I may have to trouble you to take care of me next.

I may not wake up for a few days. If the Honkai damage is too severe, take me to the incubator in the laboratory."

He first told her all the things that might happen. Yaesakura nodded calmly and sat down. "Well, I will take good care of you, so go ahead and do it. I am also looking forward to what will happen after you succeed."

Kiana looked at Shen Yunie and couldn't help but worry, "Will he get hurt?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter as long as it succeeds."

In the room, Shen Yunie and Kiana sat face to face, and Yaezakura waited a little further away. No other preparations were needed. This attempt only tested Shen Yunie's spirit and physical endurance. He was not sure of success, but he had to try anyway.

He closed his eyes, held Qiana's hand, and whispered, "Sister Leah, try to see if you can communicate with Xilin's soul."

"it is good."

Leah felt like she was trying to move forward in endless darkness. She had no idea of ​​the walls or dead ends, so she could only keep trying. When she realized she had reached a dead end, she turned around and continued to look for a new path. She kept trying, going deeper and deeper.

The fatigue enveloped her body like a tide, as if she had escaped from the darkness and was being dragged into the deep sea and slowly sank. This time, Leah didn't even have time to speak, the fatigue instantly lulled her to sleep.

Similarly, before falling down, Leah also made a small gap for Shen Yunie to pass through to the sinful soul.

Now it is his turn, an outsider who does not belong to this world and was born from the quantum sea, to take action.

122. The pain she experienced

Shen Yunie's attempt was groundless. The power of the Herrscher was beyond the scope of scientific explanation. For example, the Herrscher of the Void's ability to travel through time, distort space, and tear space apart.

Perhaps it could be used to reach a certain point and bring back Leah's long-dead body, or to protect her soul and present it to the world.

Kiana alone can't do it, and she can't use the full power of the Herrscher of the Void, so only Sirin can do it.

The first step of communication went unexpectedly smoothly. Shen Yunie, an outsider, possessed a soul different from that of humans in this world. With the help of Leah, he could also try to find the sleeping Xilin.

Intermittent tingling and heaviness spread throughout Kiana's body, like the feeling that only occurs after oversleeping.

She couldn't help but open her mouth and gasp. Shen Yunie, who was holding her hand, seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. She lowered her head and let her long hair cover her facial features. Her waist was slightly bent, as if she was about to fall into her arms.

The girl looked at Yae Sakura for help and asked in confusion: "Sister Sakura, what happened? What did he do to me?"

Yaezakura shook her head, "I'm not sure either, but please believe him, Hane has been working hard for us."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a slight cracking sound, and Shen Yunie's white shirt was suddenly stained red from the inside. The liquid was purple-red and slid down the fabric into sticky blood.

Shen Yunie was already injured just at the beginning. Now he didn't know when it would end, and what he would look like by then.

Yaesakura bit her lip and quickly took off his shirt and began to try to stop the bleeding.

Shen Yunie tasted the pain of endless darkness for the first time. Unlike his previous life as a blind man, this darkness seemed as if time would no longer pass.

Whether walking or sitting, no feeling will arise.

It is as if you do not exist. If you stay in this world for a long time, your spirit will be the first to have problems, your physical perception will fade, and finally you will subconsciously think that you do not exist, and you will die here completely.

Shen Yunie didn't want to stay here for long, so even though he didn't feel any movement, he kept repeating the action of taking steps forward.

His soul must pass through this darkness to reach his sister's shelter.

The darkness was boundless, and Shen Yunie caught a hint of light gold hidden in the abyss at some point. His whole body felt stinging as he walked, and his brain felt like it was pierced by needles.

Shen Yunie shouted towards the place where the gold had disappeared, "Xilin!"

There was no response. Perhaps the girl who had been waiting here had left completely at that moment. Her soul had been suffering in the darkness for nearly three years, and the agreed day had long passed.

Shen Yunie continued to walk forward until he stopped at the place where the light golden color disappeared. He bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to the darkness. "I am here to fulfill the promise between us. Come and see me."

An unknown amount of time had passed. After Shen Yunie had endured a long period of pain, his vision gradually emerged from the darkness.

Suddenly, bright light filled Shen Yunie's vision. Shen Yunie felt a sharp pain in his eyes and raised his hands to cover his eyes in a daze.

When his vision became clear again, he was no longer in darkness, and the snow-covered environment around him indicated that he seemed to be in northern Siberia.

Night had not yet fallen, and the sky was dark red, tinting the large clouds.

There were fine snow flakes floating in the sky, and it seemed extremely cold, but Shen Yunie could not feel it. He just stood quietly on the edge of the snowy road.

There was a section of the road with only a few wooden houses, which could not even be called a village. After Shen Yunie stayed there for a long time, the doors of several wooden houses were opened one after another, and adults wrapped in white windbreakers walked out of their homes with several girls.

The girls were only in their teens. Some had happy expressions, as if they had escaped from the sea of ​​suffering; others had grim expressions, as if they were afraid and confused about the unknown life.

In the meantime, Shen Yunie saw the thin and short Xilin. The girl's face was almost sickly pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were traces of tears on both sides of her cheeks. She was the one who was most reluctant to leave. She would look back every few steps, with a deep reluctance in her expression, as if she wanted to return to the dilapidated wooden house called home.

Maybe the girl looked back too many times, the girl walking in front of her pulled her in dissatisfaction, and her thin arm seemed to be torn off, "Hurry up, we have to take the sled back to the institute before it gets dark, otherwise we may encounter a blizzard on the way.

That place is no longer your home, the institute is. You are all abandoned children. If the institute doesn't take you in, you will freeze to death in the blizzard. Think it over!"

The woman's tone was cold and she spoke even more cruel words.

"Then my mother..." A layer of mist accumulated in Xilin's eyes.

"She's dead!"

Shen Yunie frowned and subconsciously stepped out. He knew that he could not be seen, like a road sign that was ignored, even though he was blocking the road. Those people still walked forward on their own, and two people had already passed through his body.

The cruel words were sharper than a knife. The woman's voice was so loud that Xilin lowered her head in fear. Tears welled up in her eyes but she did not dare to cry loudly. Her body trembled from sobbing from time to time.

【Who will save me? 】

[I don’t want to go with them…]

Suddenly, a clear voice rang in Shen Yunie's ears. It was not Xilin's words, but the girl's soul's plea. She might have anticipated that her future life would be as painful as hell, or she might be reluctant to leave her mother who had died of illness and had not yet been treated.

The girl is now in great pain, but no one is there to comfort her. Only the researchers who despise her crying and urge her to hurry up from time to time.

"Xilin!" Shen Yunie stretched out his hand to touch Xilin, but as expected, his hand passed through the thin body. It seemed that he could only be a bystander now.

After the first Great Collapse, Tianming funded the construction of the Tower of Babylon in the snowfield and searched for children abandoned by nomadic tribes for experiments, hoping to make further progress in the research on Collapse. Xilin was one of them.

Later, the Tower of Babel collapsed with the advent of the Herrscher, triggering the second great collapse that was to be concealed by destiny. Many tragedies were caused in that collapse. Then, Shen Yunie knew that it was the beginning of her own story.

[Help, help——]

The girl's soul is still praying.

Shen Yunie followed her silently until they got on the diesel sled. Several researchers started the engine, and the exhaust pipe of the sled spewed out thick black smoke, carrying the children away on the snowy field.

Shen Yunie's eyes seemed to be separated from her body, and they stuck to the sled and went away together. The passage of time accelerated several times at that moment, and Xilin and several girls were taken to the towering metal spire and trained by researchers.

At first, all the girls had warm beds and plenty of food, even entertainment and toys. There was also a biological garden where they could escape from the ice and snow and see green grass and flowers. They could go play outside the tower, but they had to come back within the specified time.

Compared to the nomadic life of constantly moving to avoid blizzards, staying in the Tower of Babel is much better.

Xilin has always been depressed and unable to get over the pain of her mother's illness and death. She often prays alone for someone to take her away.

[Although it's nice here, I always feel that a good life comes at a price. ]

[I don't want to stay here, take me away, I'm willing to do anything for you. ]

The abundant food made her a little fatter, which was much better than her previous sickly complexion and skinny appearance. However, there was no light in her light golden eyes, like an amber stone that had been sealed for many years, and dust had covered the entire surface.

The warm life ended when they were fourteen years old, which was the time when the Honkai energy users were born with the stigmata. The carefree lives of the girls also ended. They were taken into the incubator by the researchers, anesthetized to make them faint, and when they woke up, they would experience varying degrees of pain in their bodies.

They began to have their blood drawn, and they became afraid when they saw the needle. The warm beds and abundant food turned into prison-like wooden beds and black bread. Xilin accidentally heard the researchers say that this was to stimulate the potential in their bodies.

[I don’t want to have my blood drawn. It hurts so much every time…]
