I already said this is not a life simulator!

"What a mess, really..."

Xiwang lowered his eyes slightly, putting those complicated thoughts behind his mind...

"doctor?!"

However, just when he was about to close his eyes and wondered whether he should take a break, a panicked voice sounded from a distance and woke him up directly.

"doctor……"

“Ah…it’s you…”

Looking at Elini who quickly ran to him, Xiwang forced a smile...Xiwang was still very gentle towards his "student".

"Why did you come back again?"

"I came back with the other troops, but I was just a little faster..."

Elini wanted to reach out to support Xiwang several times, but she didn't know how to start. She looked a little flustered and at a loss... But even so, she still gathered her mind and quickly answered Xiwang's questions.

"so……"

Xi Wang understood what was going on, and then raised his hand, which was mostly covered with crystals, and used his index and middle fingers, which were still human, to push aside her hair and look at her left eye.

"Why are you still injured?"

Xi Wang gently touched the crystal at the corner of her left eye... If it was a little more to the side, her left eye might become blind, and if it was deeper, there might be problems with her brain.

"When we were evacuating to the periphery, we encountered several battles..."

"Really... It was finally resolved? Where are the survivors?"

"They were all sent to the hospital safely and are fine."

"That's good……"

It seems that the coverage of this collapse is far less than expected... Or maybe because of its appearance, the scope of the collapse has become larger? But... no matter what, at least it was successfully resolved.

Now...

"doctor?"

Elini carefully grasped his hand. Although most of it was covered by crystals and felt icy cold, she still held his hand carefully, not caring about the Honkai energy emitted by the crystals, as if she was afraid that it would shatter suddenly.

"Ah... I'm fine. I'm fine... When we get back, I'll perform surgery to remove the crystal in the corner of your eye to prevent it from affecting your left eye... Be more careful next time."

Xi Wang seemed to come back to his senses suddenly and spoke in a halting manner.

"Now... let's go... home."

He raised his leg and took a step, but what he heard in the end was the sound of crystals shattering. His sight fell downwards, as if he had lost the support of his body.

"doctor!!!"

Elini quickly hugged his still broken body.

Ah... it's over...

Xi Wang thought so before his consciousness fell into darkness.

Chapter 5208 "Rebirth" ()

[When your remaining body was brought back to the "Fire Moth", everyone was shocked, and then they were filled with regret]

[Everyone is shocked that you are still alive in this state. Your strong will to survive is amazing; but then everyone feels sorry and laments, because you are no different from dead at this moment.]

[Four-fifths of your body are covered and replaced by crystals. Only your head is in good condition, but it is also very dangerous at this moment... because the Honkai energy emitted by the crystals on your body is slowly spreading towards your head. Once the Honkai energy spreads there, it will attract the nanometals that are still remaining in your body, allowing the crystals to spread there.]

[It's like you've exceeded a critical point. You can no longer recover and can only fall uncontrollably towards the "metal block". In the end... you will most likely become a "source stone block", or will you just break into pieces?]

[Well... it doesn't matter. At least you solved a big problem, didn't you? If you let that Honkai Beast get out, we don't know what kind of casualties it would cause. Besides, you did survive, didn't you? You didn't die directly on the battlefield, which is already good~]

[However, your relaxed attitude does not make others relax... Many people even feel extremely nervous and blame themselves.]

[The most obvious one is Wei Wei... When she saw you, she seemed dazed. Although she managed to maintain a relaxed look in front of others, anyone could sense the panic in her words.]

[Later, it was only after you asked the others to leave some space for you and Wei Wei that Wei Wei slowly took off the "mask" she was wearing.]

[With a slightly dazed tone, she slowly expressed her attachment to you, and at the same time took out her latest research - a nanorobot called "Soul Steel", which she was going to use to optimize the "ore disease treatment" and could even develop more uses]

[It’s a pity that her results came out too late and couldn’t… help you in any way.]

[In response, you still comforted her skillfully, stretched out your hands that were already covered with crystals and no longer looked like a human, gently touched her head, and then ruffled her brightly colored hair and held it in your palms, as you did in the past, joking with a light tone... Unfortunately, the effect was not very good.]

[Wei Weiwei just sat beside you without saying a word, letting you play with her hair, without complaining or resisting... until finally, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back]

[She seemed to have thought of a solution, but was a little hesitant]

[She didn't say a word until she got up and left.]

[But you stopped her before she left and told her...you believed in her judgment and her ability. If she had any ideas, she could just go for it. You would support her.]

[“After all… I want to live, don’t I?” — You shrugged and said this in a joking tone.]

[Wei Weiwei paused for a moment, hesitated for a long time, then nodded slowly, thanked you in a weak voice... and ran away quickly.]

[Apart from Velvet, the ones who are most worried about you are Eden, Sakura, Elini, and Rosemary (Narcissa)]

[When Eden came to visit you, her eyes mostly lingered on your hands and throat. Although she didn't say it explicitly, you could sense the regret and pain in her words... Come to think of it, I just told her to take good care of her hands and throat, but now you are the one who has problems first.]

[Haha... a little helpless, isn't it? ]

[And Sakura blamed herself for not fulfilling her "bodyguard" duties... You know, according to her identity and duties, Sakura is still your assistant and bodyguard. It's just that because of your outstanding performance on the battlefield afterwards, everyone, including Sakura herself, temporarily forgot this fact.]

[This makes Ying blame herself even more... She even said she was protecting someone, but didn't she protect anything? ]

[Not to mention Elini. As someone who has experienced this collapse, she understands your original thoughts and is grateful for your decisiveness, which allowed the remaining team members and survivors to survive. However, this still makes her feel extremely uncomfortable...]

[Especially when she watched your body "broken" in half in front of her]

[As for Rosemary... She came with Grace. To be honest, you don't want the children to see you in this state. It would be bad if it leaves some psychological trauma on them.]

[But Rosemary and Grace don't seem to mind this, and Rosemary rarely expresses a tough attitude. She must see you.]

[Because she is afraid that she will not remember what you look like after a while...]

[Finally, it was Mebius... Ha, after you woke up, she scolded you, saying that she was upset that you didn't value your life, and that she had to watch a "special" person dying in front of her, which made her even more angry.]

[Although Mobius said so, Alicia, who came with her, smiled and exposed her disguise... Alicia said that when you were brought back by Elini, Mobius was extremely nervous, and that look surprised many people.]

[“I’m just worried that the little white mouse I found with great difficulty will die without my consent, okay?!” —This is how Mobius refuted]

[You just smiled at this and thanked Mobius for caring about you so much... Then, you also smiled and said that your current situation is just a perfect "observation sample"? If Mobius wants, he can take it for research. Of course, it would be even better if he can find a way to keep you alive.]

[Mebius scoffed at this. After all, you were her intended "guinea pig". Isn't it natural for her to study you? Why would she need you to remind her?]

[However, after being silent for a while, Mebius still said... She does have a way to try to save your life, but the technology of that method is not yet mature and it is still very dangerous. Even in theory, the success rate is not high.]

[You don't mind this... You've already become like this, how much worse can it get? ]

[With your tacit consent, Mobius fell silent again, and then revealed a look full of disgust and irritation... She hates your attitude of not cherishing your own life and even ignoring death.]

[You just smiled calmly at this... It's not that you don't value your life, but compared to waiting for death to come, it's better to fight for the possibility of survival, even if this possibility is as weak as a candle flame]

[Besides, you are not indifferent to death... It's just that as a doctor, you have long been accustomed to the decline of life and regard it as something that will happen eventually.]

[Moreover... who can tell clearly whether death is an end or a "liberation"? Right? ]

[As for the Fire Moth, because the Honkai you encountered was too special, especially according to your statement, that special Honkai beast was born from Originium, so the Fire Moth has temporarily given up the plan to use Originium weapons on a large scale.]

[However, it can still be used in a small area. After all, according to subsequent investigations, as long as the coverage of the "Originium weapon" is limited to a smaller area, a safe small "Originium" mining area can be formed.]

[But "Fire Moth" still restrained the use of this weapon. If another special Honkai beast came, it would be bad. It would cause the grassroots staff to distrust this weapon, which would lead to more problems... This kind of thing cannot happen! ]

[After all, many people have tasted the sweetness of "Originium", a method of using Honkai energy safely and stably. Therefore... since it is impossible to establish a large-scale mining area, why not establish a small-scale mining area~ Wouldn't it be better to speed up the frequency a little? ]

[We can’t let the people below reject this kind of weapon. We have to make them believe in the convenience it brings. Only in this way can they obtain more “Originium” and gain more benefits… Just restrain yourself a little and learn to take things slow~]

[As for you, "Fire Moth" naturally expressed their sympathy and concern. No matter what, you are one of the contributors to the research of "Ore Disease Treatment". Whether it is for show or to make the people below continue to believe in "Originium Weapons", they must express their concern for you.]

[At the same time, they also provided a large amount of funds to Mobius and Velvet, and even issued an order to "make every effort to treat you", which seemed to show that they were particularly concerned about your life.]

[As for the actual situation... only they themselves know]

[After all, they have already issued the task of rescue. As for whether it will succeed, that is the problem of Mebius and Velvet.]

[If it succeeded, then of course they had some credit, after all, they gave the order and provided a lot of financial support]

[If they failed, it's because Mebius and Velvet's skills were not good enough, it's none of their business, right? After all, they don't understand these things, so they can only leave it to professionals... In the end, it's their own fault that they didn't save the girl, right?]

[Besides, given your current condition, most people don’t think you can survive. They basically assume that you are on the verge of death. It’s not impossible that we will suddenly receive a death notice from you one day. It’s just that everyone still wants to believe in that illusory hope of rescue…]

[Since it's like this, why not focus on what happens after your death? For example... after your death, should the "Source Stone" that your body turns into be contributed to the "Fire Moth" to join the "Fire Moth" in its fight against the collapse? ]

[Although that is indeed what I said, but saying it so bluntly... makes me feel a little uncomfortable.]

[Because this is too cold and heartless. Even if everyone knows that this is right and this topic is unavoidable, but saying this in front of you... is really chilling]

[However, not many people object to the term "Fire-Chasing Moth". After all... this is an unavoidable topic.]

[However, Mobius and Velvet strongly opposed this. Velvet even attended a meeting of the "Fire Moths" for the rare occasion, just to vent her anger at the meeting and criticize their pessimism and indifference.]

[After that, Weiwei even rejected all the tasks assigned by "Fire Moth" with a tough attitude and concentrated on studying your affairs... and "Fire Moth" was forced to stop her due to the previous orders, and even had to rely on her to provide funds.]

[And Velvet has also teamed up with Mebius to discuss your "treatment" plan.]

[Vilvi will save you. Vilvi will never give up on you...absolutely]

[She...can't lose you, the place where she can "rest" in peace]

[Finally, after tedious and somewhat lengthy preparations, the treatment plan for you is finally complete...]

--------

"Old woman, is your plan feasible?"

While adjusting the parameters, Velvet complained to Mebius on the other side.

"What? Are you not confident in your method? You know, this is a plan we worked out together, okay?"

Mebius raised the corner of his mouth slightly, speaking with a hint of sarcasm, while frowning and speaking with some displeasure.

“Also, I’m not old.”

"Oh, yes, yes, he's just an old guy who's almost 40 and still pretends to be young from time to time."

"I hope you'll be more careful with your words, Weiwei. Don't think that just because you have a good relationship with Little White Mouse, I won't cause you any trouble."

"hehe."

Velvet sneered twice and didn't care about Mebius's threat.

"Hehe, I don't know why the little white mouse is so close to a mentally ill guy like you. Just because you knew him a long time ago? And... how did you put it? Um... should you be considered [Extreme Evil] now?"

Mebius said casually.

"But never mind. It's fun to see you like this...Have you adjusted the parameters?"

"It's been done a long time ago."

"Now, keep quiet. I don't want the operation to fail due to some unnecessary minor problems."

Mobius put on a serious expression and took out a container containing the remains of a Honkai beast. Inside was the special Honkai beast that was born from the "Source Stone" and was defeated by Xiwang.

This is the most likely method Mobius has researched to save Xiwang... Since the Honkai beast can be born from the "Originium", as long as Xiwang has similar properties, can he also survive in the "Originium"?

Moreover, the Honkai beast was born like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. If Xi Wang could do the same, could he also be "transformed" or even... "reborn"?

"Ah... I'm really looking forward to it..."

Mebius muttered to himself.

"And... [Sira/Sariel] Ah... Those guys at the "Fire-Chasing Moth" are really boring. They actually gave it a name related to the moon and killing. Haha... That's true. After all, its appearance has caused a series of bad things~"

"But maybe it's unexpectedly a good match for you, little white mouse... After all, you seem to have a certain "two sides" like it..."

"Okay, let's get started, little guinea pig."

There was a hint of madness and determination in Mebius' eyes, but more of it was... anticipation.

She hopes that Xiwang, whom she values ​​and her beloved "little white mouse", can bring her surprises.

"It may take a while, but...it doesn't matter, we will succeed, right?"
