Collapse, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Maybe if it is just an ordinary person, there is no need to waste so much time, but what if the person who needs to be chosen is your important lover?

The touch of bodies, the resonance of hearts, the genuine sadness... are not enough to be completely erased just because of what is happening in front of you.

Although this does not mean that Jiang Cheng can so calmly ignore everything he has seen and ignore the boredom and dissatisfaction in his heart.

Since Alicia is not here, not at home, not in the small town, and not in the back mountain.

Then let me...

Go and explore the hidden truth for yourself.

……

PS: "Damn it, I'm surrounded by cyber girlfriends!"

I got a system that makes me stronger when I die, but I started in cyberpunk?

Blake Lind, a deep diver, in layman's terms, is Arasaka's artificial consumables.

Some people say that his old lover is the living devil of Arasaka Counterintelligence Department.

Some people say that his girlfriend is the AI ​​Grim Reaper behind the black wall.

Some people say that he is supported by a rich woman in the Intelligence Bureau.

There is also a rumor that he and Rock Kid were having a hot affair.

……

Many years later, facing the CIA, Lucy will remember the distant afternoon when Blake Lind took her to connect to the black wall that paralyzed Night City.

Chapter of Stars and Moon: 111. Once again stepping into the ruins of the past

[It’s not that you haven’t seen this mark, nor that you don’t know it. It’s not like other memories and the past that have lost all the details.]

[On the contrary, although you lost most of your memories after resurrection, you retained this mark that seemed to have nothing to do with your childhood, and retained everything that this mark represented.]

[——That is an organization called the Fire Moth. ]

【The first attempt of mankind to resolve all conflicts, all injustices, abandon all past hatreds, and unite all nations hand in hand. 】

[Perhaps this unity seemed quite ridiculous at first, as the contradictions and differences caused by interests made it difficult to call the organization peaceful.]

[Compared to the endless wars of the makeshift teams in the past, the death that can be caused just for a few people is just a fight of subtraction. ]

[Work together, unite as one... these two words are so heavy that even the most naive people in the world would not think that human beings will be able to unite one day. 】

[You have heard people in the town say that the current base of the Fire Moth is not the base that has always been used. In fact, the Fire Moth once had a more important industrial base that gathered all the outstanding talents and scholars in the world, but that base has been abandoned in a collapse attack.]

[It is said that the attack also led to the death of an extremely outstanding genius, tens of thousands of students, and a group of the world's best politicians, and almost paralyzed the entire human political system.]

[If it weren't for the fact that humans at that time were already close to the state of a human union, I'm afraid a new world war might have started again. ]

[This kind of retro sign may have some traces in those equally ancient ruins. ]

[Although strictly speaking, this mark was not completely replaced in the great collapse that almost paralyzed human civilization, and even until many years later, the Fire Moth was still the name of the organization. ]

[It was only because the dictator took over the entire political system that he was too willful and changed everything to his liking.]

[The name of the World Serpent and the mark of the Ouroboros have actually been used for less than ten years, and are not only associated with that disaster and ruins.]

[But as a latecomer reader, rather than someone who experienced it firsthand, you only know all this from the oral accounts of others.]

[No matter how magnificent the event, no matter how horrific the disaster, it can only be counted on one or two pages in the history books.]

[Just like when disaster strikes in China, there are often only a few words to describe the horror.]

【There was a great famine that year, and people ate each other.】

[This does not mean that the disaster can only be described with these few words, or that it is only worthy of being described with these few words. It is just that no matter how horrific something is, it will become insignificant when placed on the long scale of history.]

[Except for the collapse, almost nothing new has ever happened in the world. The essence of all problems is nothing more than a cycle after another. Human civilization has never escaped the limitations of human nature, the original sin and evil of human nature. ]

[Everything that happened had already happened a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, and there are no more words to describe it.]

[You are just a listener, a reader. The ancient times are linked to great changes, so the most obvious thing in his mouth is collapse. ]

[The so-called second great collapse completely lifted the curtain on the fight against collapse by all mankind, tearing away all the complacency and self-righteousness of mankind. ]

[At least the old ruins of Fire Moth can help you piece together more of your understanding of the world, rather than just staying in paradise and enjoying yourself.]

[Although if Alicia can give you a suitable reason, she can tell you the forgotten past, at least give you the reason why you cannot know. ]

[You don't have any self-abuse hobbies, and you don't want to travel alone in the wasteland and watch the Honkai beasts baring their teeth, instead of staying in the soft and fragrant arms of a girl, you will continue to lie in the arms of Alicia without any hesitation. 】

[But now, you do have to step out of the eternal paradise for the first time since your resurrection and go to the ancient ruins of the old Fire Moth to explore. ]

……

really……

Jiang Cheng's fingers dropped gently, and he finally felt relieved and no longer had to struggle. His eyes reflected an unexpected yet unsurprising development.

Judging from Alicia's current performance, that heavy feeling is exactly the same as Velvi's. If this didn't suddenly pop up and suddenly rewrite her self and spirit, then the girl should have regretted her life and her behavior a long time ago.

After receiving the gift, he would not use it properly, but instead worship it and put it here as a sacrifice, which seems understandable as if he is trying to cover up his crime.

The gift given in his last act was actually a gift of divinity only. It would be better to call it a curse rather than a blessing.

If Alicia really regretted her actions, she would feel a heart-wrenching pain the moment she saw this gift.

Because this means that the final impression left on oneself is so bad that one has even forgotten all the happy life in childhood.

In a sense, this proves what I have been guessing since I was a teenager.

——Alisa’s love was not sudden.

It’s just that this love seems to need the beating called reality, and the pain that really happens around her can wake up the girl who is sleeping in her dream.

Otherwise, people who have always been in fairy tales and walking in beauty and happiness will never be able to clearly discover the beauty around them.

Although the boy felt that someone like Alicia shouldn't be like this, she definitely shouldn't ignore or neglect the important people around her.

As for this development which was clearly heading towards tragedy and disaster, the decision to head towards the ruins had already been made.

——I’m used to it.

In the world called Collapse, heterosexuality is inherently sinful. There is no happy ending or a happy heterosexual couple in the plot.

In other words, how could there be people who could remain happy forever in this blatantly cruel apocalypse where disasters could erupt at any time and anywhere?

What's more, the one interfering with him is the hero who holds the name of discipline.

What Abonya is best at is turning a seemingly insignificant matter into an earth-shaking event through his own touch.

The people in the Fire Moth Base were ordered not to lose hope in fighting the Honkai, but this led to Rin being locked up voluntarily and tortured to death.

Now, I have given myself a command not to meet Alicia, but the result has turned out to be that I want to explore the forgotten memories of the past.

what……

Is this the birth of tragedy?

Is this the meaning of the ending scene?

The development of all this is worse than being ordered not to contact Alicia. At least in this case, we can believe that the girl will try to solve all this after she comes back. At least there is still time and room to wait for Ali to come back.

Even if the rules really made him insane, even if he became a useless person and had to lie on the ground and be taken care of by Alicia all day long, it didn't matter.

Perhaps the girl still longs to become a completely useless person, so that she can do everything from getting up, washing, to changing clothes for him.

The worst outcome would not be like now, where one steps out of the paradise and goes to the ruins engraved with all the pains of the past.

……

[You decided to leave the town alone for the first time without telling Alysia, to explore your buried memories that were deceived and ignored by everyone.]

[Although there are no motor vehicles in the town, it is impossible for vehicles before the Collapse Era to travel through the wasteland where Collapse is rampant. ]

[As the seventh Herrscher, you are a terrifying individual who is capable of living safely in this world that is now a graveyard ruin.]

[The authority called gravity is one of the most terrifying abilities in the universe, enough to be called the four fundamental forces of the universe along with electromagnetic force, gravity and weak force.]

[At least with the limit of human cognitive ability, the absolute factors that maintain this universe, at least keep it relatively peaceful and stable, are these four forces. ]

[Power that can be called essence, no matter what kind, is beyond the reach of modern humans. Even if you just touch it a tiny bit, you must be prepared to die without a burial place in the next moment.]

[It took hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation, countless sacrifices, and all the efforts of people to understand and touch a little bit of the fundamental force of the universe.]

[——It is only limited to ordinary humans. ]

[For the law-abiding ruler who holds authority, even if he has no knowledge, no wisdom, and even his memory is almost emptied, compared to an illiterate person, at most he can read more words and understand a little more like an ordinary person.]

[This ability has been deeply ingrained into my instincts. It is no different from swallowing food for ordinary people. It is still as easy as waving your fingers.]

[Use the power of anti-gravity to fly. When you use it at full power, the entire planet will be nothing more than a small backyard to you.]

[You no longer want to see Alicia, at least not before you explore the ruins and find the information you need.]

[The location of the old Fire Moth base is not a fact that needs to be concealed. It was once the most heavily defended military base on this planet, but when the moment of destruction came, it became an insignificant ruin.]

[There is no need to worry about whether the old base will be infiltrated by hostile organizations and some vital information will be stolen. ]

[The Fire Moth has unified the world. There are no countries or alliances. The organization now renamed the World Serpent is the community of mankind. 】

[In the face of the disaster called collapse, no one can stay out of it. Everyone must do their best to fight for the slightest possibility for the survival of mankind and steal the slightest chance of survival under the disaster. ]

[Even if there are some unimaginably stupid rubbish, it is impossible for a pure antisocial personality to enter the former main base of the Fire Moth. ]

[Facing the great collapse caused by the Second Herrscher, after years of gestation, it has already become a forbidden zone for life, a place where collapse beasts run rampant.]

[Even if humans want to explore in the present level, they need the approval of the dictator, his former friend, Mobius.]

[Humans have always been the weaker individuals in the face of collapse, so weak that even the ruins of the great collapse in the past are almost unable to solve the sequelae. 】

【You don’t have to worry about that at all though. 】

[Or in other words, if it weren't for the Great Collapse, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to find out the whereabouts of the old base of the Fire Moth so easily. ]

[To some extent, to the extent that I feel inexplicably sick just thinking about you, perhaps this great collapse is a good thing. ]

[The Honkai energy that ordinary people would die from touching is actually a superior environment for you. When the Honkai energy is everywhere, no one dares to approach you. 】

[So much so that when you listen to others pointing out the extremely rough road to the gate of the base, you don’t even feel how much time is wasted. ]

……

The boy once again set foot on the place that recorded the most wonderful years of his life, the place that recorded the first time he was cared for, the first time he received mutual love, all the sweet words that did not need to be spoken, and the heavy land.

Several years have passed, but this place still retains the scene of its destruction, as if time had never passed.

Only the wear and tear caused by the Honkai energy floating in the air like ash can prove the antiquity of this place.

Ancient where only one person has ever set foot.

Isolated from the world.

It’s like stepping into the long-lost ancient civilization recorded in apocalyptic novels, where people are determined to move forward before despair and disaster strike.

There are no flowers, birds or songs, and moss cannot grow where the collapse is raging. This is a forbidden zone for all life, not just humans.

Jiang Cheng moved forward gently, and the authority floating in the air was inadvertently closed, and the girl's newly designed boots stepped on the old land.

Just move forward.

Just take one step.

An inexplicable electric shock-like feeling seemed to penetrate the delicate soles, velvet insoles, and even the energy protection of the Herrscher.

From the bottom layer of the soles of the feet, along the nerves and meridians, the incomprehensible and inexplicable emotions are transmitted to the depths of the heart in an instant.

what……

Feel.

I really felt it.
