I already said this is not a life simulator!

In a flash, [heavy rain] poured down, and the unique scent of rain instantly filled the entire house.

[Tsk... As expected, those humans are all rubbish. They said it was safe inland, and that they had something that could adjust the weather to protect the city, but in the end, they still couldn't stop the "rainstorm"? And they couldn't even finish their broadcast... It's so funny, who can be protected by this kind of warning? ]

It smacked its lips and muttered to itself in annoyance... After seeing and feeling the oppression brought by Xiwang, it had an inexplicable aversion to anything related to water... or was it fear?

Especially the dampness that filled the entire room made it feel extremely uncomfortable and irritated...

[…As expected, humans are all a bunch of trash, maggots]

As if to escape the fear brought by Xiwang, it was silent for a while, then muttered something in a tone full of hatred, pointing its spearhead at humans... After all, it is a "law maker", isn't it natural for it to hate and despise humans?

At the same time, it stood up and planned to close the window to prevent the damp air from rushing into the room again... As for the broadcast's suggestion of taking shelter? It didn't need it.

On the one hand, under the control of the "Fourth God Key", even if [Heavy Rain] occurs, it will not last long, so there is no need to worry too much...

At this point, it also has to give a little praise to the "Fire Moth". At least at this time, the "Fire Moth"'s approach can allow it to get rid of the humid weather that makes it irritable sooner.

On the other hand, [Heavy Rain] belongs to Honkai and will bring some Honkai energy, which can provide it with some help... huh?

A thought flashed through its mind and made it stop.

Speaking of which, the power of the "traitor" seems to be related to water, and [Heavy Rain] is also water, and it also carries Honkai energy, so does that mean...

【………】

It was silent for a while, then quickly shook its head and put its thoughts behind it.

No, no, how could he find me? He is not like me, with spiritual powers, he can't find me through that area... Well, it must be like this.

But isn’t the sudden arrival of this [rainstorm] too much of a coincidence?

[…No, no, no, I better stop scaring myself.]

It shook its head again, suppressing all those complicated thoughts, trying hard to stop itself from falling into fear of him and Xi Wang.

But... when it wanted to take another step and close the window... it found that it could not move.

No... No! No, no, no! Something is targeting me!

Its stiff body trembled slightly, and the fear of being stared at by some predator instantly enveloped its whole body, filling its thoughts and its heart.

It could feel the sense of danger coming from the heavy rain outside the house, from the transparent raindrops, and from the humid air around it!

It seemed that in just a moment, the water around it, whether it was the rain outside, the water stains on the ground left by the rain, or the invisible water that permeated the surroundings, all poured into this "container" with an emotion called "fear" and filled it up in an instant.

Even... a lot of it overflowed.

"Um……"

Some light, gentle sounds like the wind, or perhaps as soft as water came from outside the window.

【? ! 】

Its eyes suddenly widened... It knew! It heard! It was him! The "traitor"!

"what……"

He was getting closer...he was getting closer!

What can be seen is that he "swam" out from the white rain curtain, bringing with him the azure water, pushed open the window that was not closed to begin with, and gently jumped into its house.

He is coming!!!

"Hmmmm~"

Xi Wang walked up to it, looked at its body that was unable to move due to fear, looked at its body that was unable to move due to inhaling too much water and could only tremble slightly, and smiled gently.

I reached out and gently lifted its chin, looking at its face that was full of panic, astonishment and fear. I moved closer and observed it carefully, my nose twitching slightly and I seemed to be sniffing it.

"As expected... you smell like the [Mark]."

Xiwang seemed to confirm something, stretched out his other hand, and gently held up its face.

"I found you~ [Herrscher]~"

「You……you……」

"Shh...no need to say too much."

Xiwang gently interrupted its words.

"After all, I came here only to obtain my [prey]."

"Hmm~ This time the [hunting] was unexpectedly easy~"

"So……"

Open your mouth slightly, and the azure water will outline the shape of a "fish" in the air, with its bloody mouth also opened.

"I'm starting~"

Its lips and teeth closed, and its body disappeared.

pat-

There was a slight sound of something falling to the ground... After the "fish" ate it, its "core" fell out.

“Oh… what a pity.”

Xi Wang licked his fingers subconsciously, as if he was savoring the "food" he had just "eaten".

"The dying counterattack is ineffective against me..."

Xi Wang said this softly.

Just now it wanted to launch a mental attack on itself, hoping to make Xi Wang make a mistake for a moment so that it would have time to counterattack... but unfortunately, it was ineffective against Xi Wang.

It was still the same as before. After its attack arrived, it was like mud entering the sea, instantly dissipating and dissolving, and finally becoming almost nothing.

In the end, the expression on its face and the look in its pupils completely turned into astonishment, the kind of expression that doubted itself, doubted whether its own power was real, and even vaguely began to doubt all signs... It was quite interesting.

"Hmm... Another Herrscher has been dealt with... But I've already shown up, and I'm not pretending anymore, so how come another Herrscher is born..."

Xi Wang picked up the "Herrser Core" on the ground and muttered to himself.

"But...never mind. I'll take care of it."

Xi Wang smiled and said so.

"It's a pity... this time, we can't give up this [Core]."

Open your mouth, put the "core" into your mouth and swallow it.

"After all, I am still useful..."

"Ah, that's a good opportunity. Let's use this opportunity to give them a [preview]."

"Otherwise, it would be bad if I suddenly [come back] and scare them~"

Xi Wang jumped lightly and jumped back into the [rainstorm] from the window, riding on the [ocean current] formed by the rain and leaving quickly.

After a while, with the help of the "Fire Moth" rescue team that arrived in time, and under the control of the "Fourth God Key", the [Heavy Rain] stopped.

Fortunately, the "Fire Moth" was still timely this time, and no civilians died because of the "heavy rain".

Ok.

Not one.

Chapter 5867: Strengthening the Will and Steadfast the Cognition ()

"Hmm...what...is going on..."

A young man woke up vaguely, looking at the dim and damp coast in front of him, his expression full of confusion.

He still remembered that he was chatting and dating with his girlfriend just now, and was about to enter the hotel and then step into the "ladder of adulthood"... How did he end up here in a daze?

and……

"The fog is so thick..."

The young man murmured in a low voice.

In front of his eyes, everything was covered with a thick layer of fog. Coupled with the dim sky, the surrounding fog also appeared gray, making it difficult to see things in the distance.

But... there was one thing he was clear about.

"There is the sound of waves..."

The young man scratched his head and muttered to himself in confusion.

"Besides, the air around here is very humid... Could it be that I have suddenly come to a beach?"

The young man became a little frightened. He had heard that coastal areas are now high-risk areas, and almost all coasts have special forces stationed and defending... It is said that a disaster called Honkai often breaks out on the seashore, and monsters called Honkai beasts will crawl out of the sea like a tide.

"But... there are no other indicators nearby..."

The young man looked around. There was still gray fog. Only the sound of waves echoed in his ears, as if guiding him.

"Well... if I go there... it should be okay, right? Since there are troops stationed in the coastal areas, I should be able to get help if I go there?"

The young man talked to himself, and he felt that his inference was correct... There was no other way, he had no other reference points to look for, and could only rely on the sound of the waves to determine the direction.

"But... to be on the safe side, let's not go towards the sea."

The young man decided this... After all, they were told that the ocean was a dangerous area, so it would be better for civilians like them not to provoke Honkai.

Relying on the waves, walking along the seaside area, we should be able to encounter the troops stationed here? - The young man thought so.

"I'm glad you decided that."

A female voice that was somewhat crisp and had a hint of clarity in its words came from beside him.

"Um?!"

The sudden sound startled the young man. He took a step back away from the female voice and turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from.

"If you use the sound of the waves as a guide and head towards the ocean... it would be dangerous, even though this is not a real ocean."

"Um...do you see my [light]? I'm here."

She said so.

Soon, the young man saw a ray of fire gradually appearing in the light gray fog, faint and hazy.

But as the fire got closer, the young man found that it was a bright enough fire, a red fire that radiated warmth and a sense of security.

Even the thick fog around it seemed to be afraid of the fire. When it approached, the fog quietly retreated to make room for the fire, giving people a feeling that it had "illuminated" everything around it... No, it really illuminated everything around it.

Because the fire was burning in a lantern, and the person who was speaking was the holder of the lantern.

Retracting his gaze from the lantern that was filled with warmth and security, the young man looked at the girl in front of him. She was a little petite, but had a gun and a rapier on her waist, and a pair of black wings on her head that looked like a headband. She was obviously a "non-human" girl... He knew that the girl in front of him must be one of the heroes promoted in the news.

In other words... he was saved? - This was the young man's first thought.

Then, a question mark popped up in his head.

"What do you mean when you say... this isn't the real sea?"

"It means exactly what it says. You can treat everything here as an illusion, or you can treat it all as your [dream]... Anyway, don't worry about it for now."

She...or rather, Elini explained it briefly, but considering the current situation it was difficult to explain it clearly in a few words, so she quickly dropped the topic.

He raised the [lantern] in his hand slightly, his eyes focused slightly, the [light] swayed slightly, and then burned more violently, the blooming light became more dazzling, and the originally warm feeling suddenly became a little... hot?

But in the young man's perception, this "heat" is still within an acceptable range... It is better to say that in such a damp and cold environment at the seaside and with heavy fog, this hot feeling makes him feel quite comfortable and warm.

The thick fog around... quickly retreated as if it had encountered some "natural enemy". Although the fog still did not dissipate, under the dazzling [light], the young man could see the surrounding objects clearly... Unfortunately, there were still no reference objects around, only the ground that was obviously wet.

"Okay, follow my light, pay attention to the fog around you, and... pay attention to the sounds of the waves and tides."

Elini held up the [lantern] and spoke in a steady but stern tone.

"If you feel the sound of the waves approaching you, tell me immediately, okay?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll follow you closely."

The young man nodded repeatedly, took a few steps forward, followed behind Elini, and walked with her in the thick fog.

After a while, the young man saw a camp where there were many civilians who were obviously as confused as he was. At the same time, there were also several soldiers holding lanterns like Elini.

"Ah...Captain Elini!"

A soldier who was obviously on guard saw Elini coming back, so he quickly ran over with the [lantern] in his hand and saluted Elini... However, the height of this female soldier was much taller than Elini, which made the scene look a little funny to the young man...

However, the temperament exuded by Elini and the attitude displayed by the tall female soldier in front of him still made the young man maintain his respect for Elini.
