Collapse, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Emotions that cannot be denied slowly flow into the heart from a blocked, suppressed, and unexplorable place.

It was like stepping into paradise once, like the familiarity of going to the swimming pool with the girl once, and... a loneliness and sadness far deeper than that moment.

How many things are left here, how many are left, how many memories are left that make the emotions of this moment so significant?

It is obvious that this is a concentration camp for geniuses only, and it is not a place that any ordinary person can easily enter.

Why……

Why am I so familiar with the Fire Moth?

Chapter of Stars and Moon: 112. Excavating the ruins of the Spiral Workshop

Everything I see within my sight is still incomprehensible.

Just these few scenes before our eyes cannot provide any valuable information.

In that inexplicable, deeply rooted familiarity, no meaningful memories were derived. It was as if it was intentionally sealed by an unknown person, leaving only the most instinctive physical feeling and the warmth of that moment.

Doubts cannot be resolved by more doubts. Thinking without knowing anything will only give rise to more troublesome doubts.

Jiang Cheng simply buried all these questions deep in his heart and moved forward again, suppressing the discomfort and taking one step after another on the broken ground.

The Herrscher's keen vision could not see anything that could not be called ruins. The limit of his sight was only debris scattered all over the ground and flying dust.

If this place had not been covered by plants and had not suffered excessive wear and tear, it would probably not even be called a ruin.

No traces of any advanced technology could be seen or discovered. Even the steel ground was incomplete, with spider-web-like cracks and large pits.

The once sharp and flawless materials fell into the pit, naturally forming an anti-theft trap, but they also lost all their sharpness under the ravages of time.

In a sense, the power of time is so strong that even measures used to prevent theft will one day lose all use as the internal decay occurs.

All of humanity’s wisdom, all of its efforts, all of its toil, the building built with the memories and sweat of countless people collapsed.

Perhaps it is not until the moment of collapse that we will suddenly realize how huge and insurmountable this almost ordinary skyscraper is.

The spectacular ruins lie in the dust, covered with an ancient color. Only some broken walls are still visible, as if proving that this was once a world that was stepped on, mined, and built by humans.

A world without any human presence is far more desolate than a deserted road. The stone bricks are covered with so much energy that not even a trace of green leaves can grow on them. All that is left are traces of being gradually eaten away by wind and sand, worn away, and turned into gray.

The building that was cut in half was still magnificent, but after the collapse, everything that had been protected by it was destroyed in its collapse.

Sad, pitiful, lamentable...

In the young man's dark eyes there was only desolation reflected in the wind.

Every time I move forward, every time I see ruins and broken walls, uncontrollable emotions rise from my heart again and again, interfering with my thinking.

Until the pair of pupils gradually fell into sorrow, a complete reflection of a ruin that had collapsed to the point where not even the slightest trace of the building was left was reflected.

……

……

……

The fingers clenched tightly in an instant, and several blue veins appeared clearly on the white back of the hand. Even with the body of a Herrscher, the nails pierced deeply into the flesh, and blood flowing with Honkai energy slowly dripped down along the knuckles.

The anger that comes from instinct, the rage that runs deep in the soul, the never-ending and unacceptable unwillingness, ignites all emotions in a surging manner.

With only a slight contact with the ground, the ground that had been baptized by wind and sand was unable to support the high concentration of energy and collapsed and shattered in an instant.

At that moment, Jiang Cheng's thoughts came to a complete standstill, so much so that even the sadness in his eyes disappeared without a trace, leaving only blankness.

Indescribable.

Indescribable.

Can't describe it.

All the thoughts and doubts that weighed on my heart disappeared without a trace at the same time, leaving only the most complete blankness.

In the true sense, there was not a single thought left, not even any instinctive reaction to the ruins before him.

nausea……

I want to vomit…

All that was left was an instinctive disgust, the desire to turn around and run away immediately, the desire to escape from here at all costs, the desire to leave here at all costs.

It seemed that just staying here was dangerous, and it seemed that just looking at the ruins in front of him would cause something terrifying to the Herrscher.

Just then a breeze blew, carrying with it the fallen leaves and flowers that had already dried to the extreme, and even the pink petals had disappeared without a trace.

The wind wasn't strong, just enough to stir up a cloud of dust, which just happened to stir up a cloud of dust in front of it and touch a few pieces of gravel.

In the yellow sand filled with Honkai energy, ordinary people would be blinded and disabled in an instant if they just opened their eyes. However, his dark blue pupils took in everything that was blown by the wind without any hindrance.

This is the privilege of the Herrscher, and everything that the Herrscher must bear is also the truth that has already arrived, and there is no choice but to escape.

The inexplicable instinct brought about this emotion, and it was the first time that Jiang Cheng hated his eyesight.

Because there happened to be an ancient plaque blown up by the wind.

The blurred characters can be vaguely discerned.

——Spiral Workshop.

……

[Perhaps it is because the emotions are too intense, complex and changeable, and they have become a mixture in the heart like a dye vat, mixing countless colors into it, creating something that makes people lower their rationality at a glance.]

[At the first moment, you had no emotions at all, just like the sage form after being completely blown dry by Alicia.]

[It may even be more thorough. The girl can only put you into Sage Mode physically. The Herrscher's body will not have the hidden danger of energy loss. It can be said that it has unlimited energy, unlimited energy, and unlimited drive. You don't even need to sleep.]

[Sleep, food, and any rest are essentially just comforts for the soul, which still belongs to the human self to rest. ]

[Even if you are squeezed to the extreme by Alicia, you can just take a short break to recover and continue the next squeeze.]

【Only this moment. 】

【Only this time. 】

【Only this moment. 】

[You feel that you are completely trapped in the Sage Time mentally, and the exhaustion and fear of not accepting the facts come from your soul.]

[Perhaps because this emotionless attitude is the norm for you, not only do you not feel any discomfort, but you feel more relaxed and can think more rationally.]

[If you hadn't been with the girl, if the things you experienced weren't related to the girl, you might not even be able to find any feelings. ]

[Starting from the first second after your resurrection, you can only recover some of your emotions by going through things related to Alicia.]

[Whether it was the old swimming pool, the dissatisfaction with being exploited, the resentment accumulated every time the topic was diverted, or the unwillingness to be deceived. ]

[All of this is related to Alicia. 】

[The swimming pool in your childhood is the happiest memory you and the girl can find. 】

[Being exploited essentially means that you are not satisfied with the difference in power between the Herrschers, and you unilaterally become the loser, and you also do not accept the waste of time. ]

[Even if you are diverted and deceived, the essence of the inquiry cannot be fully understood as you really want to find your past. ]

[Since this moment is so happy, why do we have to break it? ]

[Since everything is beautiful now, why do we have to explore the darkness? ]

[You are just an ordinary mortal. You don’t have the same firm will as those famous people in history. Once you decide on something, you are willing to give up everything, even willing to give up the beauty of the moment.]

[Your goodness and evil are both at an ordinary level. Hurting your loved ones for your own ideals and goals is far beyond your reach. ]

[Perhaps some people would choose to kill all their loved ones and family members in order to make themselves stronger and not to be weak.]

[But there is no doubt that you are definitely not such a heartless person. You can't put one thing above your feelings. ]

[The reason why you want to get to the bottom of this matter is because you don’t want to be deceived, and you don’t want this beauty to be as false as a lie. ]

[I don’t want to break the happiness of the moment, but at least I want to make sure that the happiness of the moment is real, and not a toy of anyone’s fraud. ]

[If you live in lies and mistakes, then even if you pretend to be deaf and dumb, one day you will be hit on the head by a falling shelf.]

[What is the difference between this behavior and covering one's ears and stealing the bell? ]

[Instead of pursuing your own efforts, you endlessly pray to others to put everything on others. A happy life, everything about yourself, and the existing beauty all depend on the hobbies of others. ]

[If you really do this, then one day when you are kicked out because you are worthless, you will not be qualified to complain to anyone. ]

[Not wanting to deny Ai Lishia and trying to find the truth are not contradictory. At most, you can make sure there is no problem and then apologize to the girl. ]

[Alicea has atoned for her sins to you so many times, maybe you can choose to atonce for your sins once. ]

[The premise of all this is that you can explore the truth. ]

[Although this doesn’t seem that far away. ]

[Because you can already feel the warmth of your feelings returning, but the slight aftermath makes you feel as if you are about to have a mental breakdown.]

[Spiral Workshop, panties... Countless fragments flashed back in your memory crazily, although after being restrained by that inexplicable thing that blocked your memory, those fragments were mostly panties of different styles. ]

[From the most basic triangle, to the one that can slightly wrap around the body to highlight the shape, to the delicate lace, the key places are gradually cut, so that in the end the fabric used is not even enough to make a bracelet. ]

[These are the only ones that are as clear as ever, and there are even many styles that you can see on Alicia, which you still remember vividly. ]

【Strange.】

【It’s really weird.】

[You know that before you really find something valuable, you can't get anything meaningful just by resurrecting your memory. ]

[The items that appeared in your mind at this moment are indeed too strange. They have no meaning other than making you look like a pervert.]

[Why do you associate panties with the ruins in front of you? Is the Spiral Workshop a place that specializes in producing panties of different styles? ]

[It seems that you need to do something big before the wave of emotions fully arrives. ]

[Option 1: Try to dig up the ruins in front of you, and try to find out what is hidden under the rubble. There may be the truth that you have always wanted but has been constantly diverted by Alicia.]

[Option 2: No matter what, the strong feeling you had when you saw the ruins in front of you was definitely not fake. It was a strong feeling that had never arisen even when you saw Alicia crying.]

[Option 3: You will not do anything unnecessary. Once you find the answer you want, you will immediately leave the ruins and continue to live happily with the girl.]

……

A classic, three-choice story that is actually made up of just one choice, with three slightly different psychological stages.

For a long time, no options have been made, and life with Alicia has been so comfortable that the only choice is between being active and being passive, or always being passive. There are no twists and turns, and no excitement that makes your heart beat faster.

Naturally, there will not be a situation where the self and the inner heart are connected for some inevitable reason, reaching a situation where there is only one option or one idea.

Just as humans often unify all thoughts in their chaotic minds into instructions to attack or escape when they are in extreme crisis.

They are just some trivial daily things that will not interfere with the major turning points in life, and are not even insignificant things that can be considered a detour.

It is simply impossible to bring all those emotions together to arrive at a single, absolute outcome.

Until this moment, that classic feeling comes back again.

although……

Just like before, when things develop to the point where there is only one option, that choice will often only lead to the worst outcome.

——Excavate the ruins of the Spiral Workshop.

——Digging up Velvet's grave.

As a lover, you dig up the grave of the partner you once loved the most, with whom you were inseparable, and with whom you even promised to never separate.

In this world, in this world without any kindness and justice, is there anything more ridiculous, more bizarre and twisted than this?

Even the incident where Otto released the Honkai Beast to save Kallen but ended up killing Kallen himself was nothing compared to the current situation.

At least no matter how twisted or crazy the archbishop was, he wouldn't suddenly lose his mind and dig Karen's grave with his own hands.

what……

So that’s it.

So that’s it.
