I already said this is not a life simulator!

Melodious sounds will echo here, and beautiful songs will be transmitted to everyone's ears and flow into everyone's hearts, bringing them the beauty of the past and showing them the crystallization of human civilization - this is how it should be.

But when the fire came, when the collapse came... her song was covered by the chaotic sounds, and the blooming light was obscured by the collapsed buildings, and she could no longer attract the attention of others.

The instruments at hand were burned by the flames, the people accompanying them fled in a hurry, and the expectant audience also fled in all directions...

This was the first time that Eden realized that Honkai was so cruel. Once it appeared, it would deprive her of everything and extinguish her most proud singing voice.

And all this happened in just a moment.

"Eden? Eden!"

“Ah… Yeah, yeah!”

Xiwang's cry brought Eden back from his trance.

Eden quickly gathered his thoughts and hid the confusion in his eyes and in his heart.

It’s okay, this time... I’m lucky, we are all lucky, Xi Wang is by our side, and there happens to be a team of "Fire Moths" following him, so... it’s okay.

Her concert was interrupted...it didn't matter.

Her singing voice was muffled…and that’s okay.

At this moment, nothing is more important than life, so... everyone must calm down, follow the instructions of the surrounding "Fire Moth" members, and evacuate in an orderly manner.

But...how can this be done?

Eden opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak.

She knew that this was because she was devastated. After the singing voice that she was most proud of was ruthlessly torn apart by the collapse, she... didn't know what reason she had to support herself to continue speaking.

At that moment, she even had the thought of "just dying along with this stage".

But immediately, her hand was held.

Warm, like a bonfire on a snowy night.

She tilted her head and looked at him standing next to her.

He smiled, and he is still smiling.

Gentle, like a mountain stream.

Between the strange three-color pupils, the deep dark color sets off the little bits of gold, like twinkling stars in the night.

"Don't worry, I'm here, we're here."

He said so.

Soft, like a warm breeze.

He gently squeezed the palm of her hand, as if to give her some strength in this way.

"……Um."

Eden nodded heavily and held his hand tightly, refusing to let go and not daring to let go.

"Okay... then..."

Press the decoration that wraps around the neck like a neck ring - this is a special sound amplification device made by Weiwei for Xiwang.

He inhaled, and under Eden's somewhat confused and nervous gaze, he covered her ears, and then...

?————

It is not a beautiful sound, but an extremely harsh noise and murmur like needles piercing the brain. It is a sound that a musician will never make and should never make. It is simply a blasphemy to the identity of a musician.

But... it was this sound that sounded like "hurt" that forcibly stopped the chaotic shouting of the crowd. Even the sound of the building collapsing was covered for a while. Everyone subconsciously covered their ears to avoid the "noise".

When Xi Wang stopped, the surroundings fell into silence for a moment, leaving only the sound of flames burning and the sound of objects collapsing.

"Everyone here, follow us to take shelter! Be orderly! Pay attention to your surroundings and your feet! Quick, quick, quick! Move!"

The members of "Fire Moth" who accompanied Xi Wang shouted quickly, calling out to the audience who were still there, guiding them in the direction of escape, and at the same time dispatched some people to rescue those who were injured or trapped.

"Xiwang, Eden, go!"

Sakura came to the two people with an uncanny speed, waving the blade in her hand, using the coldness to curb the surrounding flames, while covering the two people's escape.

"This……"

And when Eden left the grand stage and walked onto the street, she was shocked again.

All I could see was flames, and all I could see was ruins.

Thick smoke rose from the broken walls, mixed with the blazing flames, dyeing the entire sky an eerie, dull dark red.

Like blood, like death.

Panic is raging and despair is spreading.

From the roars of the Honkai beasts and the wails of the people all around, Eden once again felt how terrifying this disaster called Honkai was.

"Ms. Eden, please follow us."

A soldier from the Fire Moth came forward and spoke quickly, clearly, and politely.

"We will take you away and take you to a safe place... The impact of this [Great Collapse] is quite large, and the surrounding area is not very safe. The rescue team is on the way. Then you can return to the "Fire Moth" base, where you will be better protected."

"...Where are Xiwang and Ying?"

"I want to stay."

Xiwang said so.

"........."

Ying didn't say anything, but just looked at Eden, then signaled Xiwang with her eyes, indicating that she would follow him, and then continued to be alert to the surroundings.

"Xiwang, please don't make it too difficult for us...if you stay here, there might be problems."

"But if I stay, it can increase everyone's survival rate and make the battle easier for everyone."

"But……"

"I will stay. After all, this [special] of mine is for this purpose, isn't it?"

"...Okay, we swear to keep you safe!"

The soldier nodded and accepted Xi Wang's request to stay... He and his comrades didn't want to die either. If possible... if Xi Wang's singing could help them... that would be great.

"But please wait until we confirm the situation and go to a safer place before you start... Your safety is the most important thing for us here."

"Yeah, I know, and...thank you."

"No, rather, we are the ones who should thank you more... It's really great that you are here."

The soldier nodded, and quickly commanded Xi Wang and others to leave. At the same time, he used communications to contact other teams, paying attention to the situation of the "Seventh Herrscher" to think about which direction to take Xi Wang.

After finding a relatively secluded place to accommodate the survivors, the soldiers split up. Some stayed to protect the survivors and wait for the rescue team to take them away, while the other part took Xi Wang away and went to a more open place to perform his special song.

...Although if possible, "Fire Moth" would like Xi Wang to evacuate directly to a safe place, but this time the "Great Collapse" broke out directly next to him. In this case, he might as well give it a try and see if his song can have an impact on the "Herrser".

However, in order to prevent the "Seventh Herrscher" from directly targeting Xi Wang, it is better to stay away from the "Seventh Herrscher" as much as possible. This way, at least everyone can be prepared and take Xi Wang away.

But facing the separation, Eden seemed a little nervous. She held Xiwang's hand tightly and refused to let go, even though the soldiers around her repeatedly dissuaded her and asked her to stay in the hiding place with the survivors and wait for rescue... But she still shook her head and rejected the suggestion, even though Xiwang also asked her to do so.

"I want to be with you..."

Eden and Xiwang looked at each other and said this softly.

"……it is good."

Xi Wang nodded and did not refuse. He even raised his hand to stop the soldier who wanted to say something and just asked everyone to act quickly... Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Ying also nodded, as if to tell them that there was no problem. They could only sigh helplessly, obey the command, and take Xi Wang to a reserved open small hill.

This should have been a tall building, but now it has turned into rubble and become a ruin. Fortunately, the high platform is flat, and there are several roads around it that are convenient for leaving... This place is enough.

She skillfully opened the device around her neck and tried it gently to adjust her voice. She turned up the power of the device and let the song flow and drift away with the wind.

???~

Gently close your eyes and immerse your mind in the song, to express your thoughts, to convey your feelings, and to announce to everyone that he - Xiwang/Hope, is here.

The singing is like water, quietly flowing through the city occupied by fire, washing away the pervasive panic; the singing is like the wind, gently blowing through the streets occupied by ruins, taking away the spreading despair.

A slight Honkai energy reaction comes from you, and along with your song it transforms into a special "melody", driving the Honkai energy that permeates the surroundings and attracting the surrounding Honkai beasts.

Slowly, the sounds of the surrounding Honkai beasts raging disappeared, leaving only the sound of burning flames and the survivors' cries for help.

"quick."

The soldiers of "Fire Moth" quickly made a gesture and ordered a few people to move towards the direction where the cry for help came from, while the others cheered up and waited for the Honkai beast to approach.

???~

Boom--boom--

Xiwang's song continued, and the trembling sound of the approaching Honkai beast was heard. The gradually approaching sense of crisis made people feel nervous.

The flames around were still burning, and the scorching temperature made people feel irritated unconsciously. Thick smoke was filling the air, blocking everyone's vision. The feeling of the unknown made people even more panicked. The dry air surrounded them, unknowingly taking away the moisture from everyone's bodies and burning their lips until they were cracked.

But... just at this moment, Xi Wang opened his eyes as if he had sensed something and looked at the sky covered with thick smoke.

tick-

Gently, there is the sound of rain falling.

It was as if God wanted to help them. Soon, a drizzle covered the entire city, curbing the raging flames and washing away the thick smoke that obscured their vision.

What a coincidence, what a blessing, this timely rain made many people happy.

This is even more true for Xiwang.

The rain conveyed emotions of care and help... It did not want its child to suffer from dryness again, so it came to his side.

He bathed in the rain and smiled happily.

???~

He sang loudly, showing off his singing voice in the rain, praising the good weather and being grateful for the timely rain.

Cheerfulness, happiness, encouragement... these emotions were conveyed with the singing, and even the sound of rain could not cover them up. Even... after the rain fell, his song seemed to spread even further.

The soldiers of "Fire Moth" and Sakura methodically dealt with the approaching Honkai beasts. Soldiers from the support team continued to join in to stabilize the front line. Soldiers continued to leave on orders to rescue the trapped survivors.

Everything was so orderly and skillful.

Eden, who had nothing to do, seemed out of place at this moment.

She just looked, her eyes fixed on Xi Wang who was singing in the rain, and was slightly dazed.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the past, when she went to the hospital to visit Xiwang. He was the same as he is now, so... "dazzling".

No, at this moment he was even more "shining" than before.

The flames are spreading and the destruction is raging.

But under his singing, the rain fell quietly and the collapse became stable.

The originally bad situation turned around after his singing, just like a person who fell off a cliff grabbing a life-saving rope. It really made people unconsciously feel a sense of relief and joy.

And a little bit of hope that... one can be saved.

Eden looked at him, never moving his eyes away, nor did he want to look away.

She gently placed her hand on her chest, feeling the longing in her heart. At this moment, she felt a little bit of "envy" towards Xi Wang.

The sadness caused by the collapse that shattered the song that he was most proud of, and the sadness caused by not being able to shine again... also gradually faded away.

really……

Eden looked at Xiwang, listened to his singing that could not be covered by any sound, and laughed softly.

Hope...what a good word.

Chapter 5919 You've Grown Up a Little, Hua ()

Everywhere I look... there's flames...

Where to go... Where to go...

The gray-haired girl named "Hana" ran away in a daze.

She was a deserter... facing the Herrscher, she abandoned her other teammates... and ran away.
