I already said this is not a life simulator!

At some point, Xi Wang stopped and turned to look at him.

"But I quite like it this way. This easy-to-read look is quite similar to your previous sunny and cheerful big boy look, where you can't hide any emotions... Yeah, at least it's much better than your cold look~"

"What are you... talking about, Xiwang."

Kevin's face was frozen.

[Before]? What do you mean by "compared to [before], this time we are here"? Does this mean that the current situation is still at the "acceptable" stage in your opinion? Have you ever encountered a worse situation?

If that's really the case... then how desperate you would be...

Kevin simply couldn't imagine what the "before" that Xiwang mentioned was like, and how desperate it would be for Xiwang... What had he experienced to feel that everything before him was still "good"?

Snapped!

A soft clapping sounded in front of Kevin, bringing Kevin back to his senses.

"Okay, Kevin, don't think too much about it. Those are things that happened in the past. They are all in the past... We can't focus on the past, right? As for the past, we just need to remember it, and then... move forward more firmly, that's all."

Xi Wang said so with a smile.

Even at this moment, he seemed to be completely unaware of the environment he was in, and was still so... gentle and cheerful.

"Well, let's get back to that simple yet serious question... You guys have been fooling me before, but you haven't given me an accurate answer yet."

Xi Wang tilted his head, and his white hair fell down like waves, like a waterfall in the mountains.

"Kevin, if one day you could save everyone by defeating me...what would you do?"

"I……"

"Shh...Kevin, think carefully before you answer. You should know that this is the difference between [everyone], not... the majority and the minority."

Xi Wang made a gentle gesture to keep quiet and reminded softly.

"........."

"Kevin, let me give you a little reminder."

Seeing Kevin fall into a long silence, Xiwang smiled happily.

"Eliminate Honkai, save humanity, and continue civilization. This is the purpose of "Fire Moth". Everything we do is for this goal. In order to achieve this goal, any sacrifice is acceptable and any price is worth paying. This is true for everyone."

"So… do you understand, Kevin?"

"........."

"It's all about humanity, Kevin."

"Why……"

"Well?"

"Why... can you still say such words so calmly?"

Kevin's voice was full of sadness... He suddenly understood why Mebius was angry about Xiwang's attitude.

This kind of indifference to one's own life makes people feel both pity and... anger.

"Why can you still say [Everything is for humanity]? Why can you still say it so easily? If I were faced with something like this, I wouldn't even know what to do, or how to survive..."

Obviously, everything was for everyone, and everything was done for humanity, but just one "suspicion" could destroy everything that came before, and the "trust" that once existed was gone. Even now, no matter what you do, you will be blamed and suspected. The "trust" is completely shattered and can never be regained...

And all this was just because of that high-sounding sentence - "The Herrscher" must be "defeated", and everything was for humanity.

...Just thinking about this kind of thing made Kevin feel like he was going crazy.

"...It's great, Kevin. Seeing you like this really gives me some sense of reality. Some... I have really changed a lot."

Xi Wang came forward, and her eyes, like those of stars in the night, looked into his eyes with tenderness, comfort, and a little bit of... joy.

"You are no longer that cold and icy...that's great."

"Xiwang..."

"Okay~ I will answer your question. Of course, in exchange, please also answer my question."

Xiwang shook his head and spoke softly.

"Because... I'm really happy that I got to meet Eden, Sakura, and... you guys."

"[This time], you stood by me, supported me, and protected me... I'm really happy."

"So... if you ask why I can say this so easily, it's because... we are human beings, right? In order to continue, in order to survive, someone has to sacrifice, someone has to pay."

"If my life alone is enough to save the future of countless people, then... I would be very willing to do it."

"Ah, of course, if there is a way to have the best of both worlds, I will also try a little bit~ After all..."

Xi Wang was silent for a while, then laughed again.

"I don't want to die either, do I?"

“I want to continue to be with them.”

"........."

"Now, Kevin, can you answer me?"

"........."

Kevin clenched the flaming sword in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and spoke slowly.

"If there really comes a day like that..."

His voice trembled.

"I will defeat you, Xiwang."

"very nice."

Xi Wang hugged him gently... His body was cool, and she believed that if it was summer, he would be very comfortable to hug.

"If that day ever comes, I'll leave it to you, [Great Hero]."

"........."

tick-

"Hey, don't cry, why are you a grown man shedding tears... Really, you are different from before, your tears won't freeze, okay?"

"Sorry……"

"Okay, okay, let's go~ It's time to go back~"

"it is good."

…………

………………

"came back?"

"Well, hello ~ Dr. Mei ~"

"Ah... I really don't know why you can still laugh... Forget it."

Mei pinched her eyebrows and sighed helplessly.

"The discussion about your problem has become increasingly intense within the Fire Moth... You know, we have to solve this problem, so..."

"Well, I know, I need to be [detained], right?"

"……Correct."

There was a deep sense of exhaustion in Mei's voice.

"This is the best we can do for you... At least it can prevent you from being directly [attacked]."

"Thank you~"

"As for the place where you are [imprisoned]... it's on the moon. You... should know that, right?"

"Yeah, I know. After all, my powers are wind and water, which are still too dangerous on Earth... I won't be useful if I'm thrown directly to the moon, right?"

Xi Wang tilted his head and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Dr. Mei, your preparations have been put to good use as promised."

"……Oh, yes."

The exhaustion in Mei's words grew heavier.

"Now, little white mouse, it's time for you to speak up, right? What do you want to do with our [help]?"

On the side, Mobius asked with a gloomy face.

"And... don't you have anything to say to us now?"

"Of course, Dr. Mebius."

Xiwang responded softly.

"Dr. Mobius, I hope you can research how to remove the Herrscher Core normally... Please note that this should be done while the Herrscher is still alive."

"...Hmm? Yay."

"As for the [materials] to try... you will have them later."

"Um?!"

Mebius narrowed his eyes, thinking.

"Dr. Mei, although I will be [imprisoned] from now on, I hope... no matter what happens in the future, you can tell me, at least communicate with me, okay? This way I can also know how I can help."

"Yes, it's not difficult..."

Mei nodded, then thought of the people from the Fire Moth, frowned again, and spoke in an uncertain tone.

"……perhaps."

"As for the information about the Herrscher that you are concerned about... I can tell you a little, but I won't go into too much detail."

"Why... Oh, I know... Tsk, those guys are just causing trouble, little guinea pig, tell me what you think."

Mobius frowned subconsciously, but soon realized that Xiwang was worried about the top leaders of "Fire Moth".

If they learned the detailed information about the Herrscher from Xiwang, they would definitely take action. At this point, the people from the Fire Moth would definitely notice their actions and then... do something not so good.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, Xi Wang should have taken into consideration his current experience. If their actions cause those who have not yet become [Herrs] to experience Xi Wang's experience again and be doubted and suspected by everyone... then it will really easily cause some problems and even trigger some "tragedies."

You know, other people don’t have as many supporters as Xiwang…

Tsk... Damn it, those "Fire Moth" high-ups are always causing trouble. If it weren't for this "suspicion incident", Xi Wang might have told them the detailed information?

"First of all, I can tell you that there are one thousand [Tenth Herrschers], and please note that there are one thousand [Herrscher Cores], and you must find them all. Although I have taken some precautions, I am not sure whether those [Herrschers] will become stronger because of this."

"Secondly, the Eleventh Ruler. I haven't been involved in it much before, but it's very dangerous, especially for fusion warriors... If you find it, please tell me and I will help."

"........."

Mei and Mebius looked at Xiwang deeply... Even if he was [imprisoned] on the moon, could he still [help]?

But they didn't say anything, because at least at this moment, they believed Xi Wang.

"Finally, [Twelfth Herrscher]... I hope you can spare no effort to save her, especially not to kill her."

"……Can."

Mei thought about it for a moment, then nodded... She vaguely guessed that this [Twelfth Herrscher] should be someone Xi Wang was familiar with.

"I have another question... How can you ensure that these Herrschers are the ones you expect? Guinea pigs?"

"Because [Fate] is trying to set everything right, Dr. Mebius."

"...Don't be like Aponya. Your weird talk gives me a headache."

"Okay~"

"So what about the Herrscher after that?"

"........."

In response to Mei's question, Xi Wang smiled but said nothing.

"...I understand. We will do our best."

Mei nodded understandingly.
