Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

That was the most precious treasure Li Wen had ever obtained - a "World Seed".

This seed was so precious that the agent consciousness of the main god space even contacted him personally to purchase it.

But Li Wen finally kept it.

It was also because of this seed that Li Wen was able to survive danger in countless missions and finally get the chance to return home.

Chapter 21 Jizi...Teacher!

Although this seed has not shown any signs of germination so far, it is still Li Wen's most powerful trump card.

The reason is that, although this "world seed" has not sprouted and failed to transform into a real and complete world, it still possesses an extremely terrifying capacity for accommodation.

What Li Wen is doing now is to lead the destructive energy to its front for it to devour.

After sensing this extremely pure power, the "World Seed" began to devour it without any hesitation.

Under its terrifying devouring, a vortex even appeared near Li Wen's palm that was touching the engine, constantly pulling in the surrounding Honkai energy.

After trying for a long time, Kiana finally regained some mobility. Just as she was about to come over, Li Wen, who heard the noise, quickly said, "Don't come over."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Li Wen laughed a few times, his tone quite relaxed. "If I really can't hold on any longer, I will definitely call you. After all, you will have to take me away with you when the time comes."

There was no response from Kiana behind him, so Li Wen spoke again: "I am your doctor, listen to me."

In desperation, Kiana finally chose to follow Li Wen's words.

But she was also prepared and kept a close eye on Li Wen. If Li Wen showed any abnormal behavior, she would rush forward immediately.

Time just passed by minute by minute.

Because all the Honkai energy was absorbed by Li Wen using the "World Seed", the rich purple color of the Honkai energy that was originally densely distributed around him gradually became thinner.

As the last trace of purple dissipated, a faint blue light emerged from Li Wen's hand. The Honkai energy engine that was still running immediately fell into a state of stagnation under the influence of this extremely cold force.

The faint moonlight scattered on the ice crystals. With a bang, the ice crystals suddenly shattered, and the engine inside turned into ice particles floating in the air.

As he relaxed, Li Wen's body staggered slightly, as if he was about to fall backwards.

Seeing this, Kiana immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Wen before he fell.

It was not until then that Kiana realized that Li Wen's neck and face were covered with extremely distinct lines, which were a symbol of being completely eroded by the Honkai.

"You..." Kiana looked at Li Wen and thought of Ji Zi's appearance in the "Last Lesson". She was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, she once again resented her own incompetence.

Because of her incompetence, another person who is good to her is about to leave.

"I'm fine." Feeling the girl's fragrance lingering on his nose, Li Wen still had his usual smile on his face.

However, his words did not elicit a response from the girl. Wet tears slid from her eyes, penetrated his clothes, and dripped onto his chest.

Seeing Kiana crying and feeling the heat of her tears, Li Wen panicked and quickly explained, "I'm not lying to you. I'm really fine. This is just a temporary condition caused by absorbing too much Honkai energy. I'll be able to recover after a short rest."

"Hmm... just like when you eat too much, it takes some time to digest. In a while, the lines on my face will disappear."

"...Really?" After a while, Kiana asked in a low voice.

Because she needed to suppress the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void, Fu Hua had lost her ability to respond in her mind at this moment, so she couldn't ask Fu Hua to help her judge the truth of the matter.

"It's absolutely true!" Li Wen promised solemnly, "If I lied to you, I would... I would eat Blake's cat food for a month!"

Blake: ??? I'm exhausted from working as a blacksmith every day, and you're trying to steal my cat food?

After hearing Li Wen's assurance, Kiana finally couldn't help but reveal a smile on her tear-stained face.

Seeing Kiana burst into laughter, Li Wen also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are we going back now?" Kiana asked.

"Wait for me for a moment." Li Wen exhaled slightly, "I need some time to digest this Honkai energy, otherwise if we encounter any danger on the road, I'm afraid I won't be able to take action."

Although the "World Seed" said that it was full, Li Wen still forced all the Honkai energy into it. After all, if it didn't eat, its small body would not be able to absorb much energy.

This also caused the current "World Seed" to be in a full state, thus affecting his body.

Thinking of this, Li Wen thought helplessly: You have consumed so much energy over the years, when will it start to sprout...

However, the "World Seed" did not answer his question, but was just trying to digest the energy.

"Even the hero who saved the world needs some breathing space..."

Just like that, lying in Kiana's arms, Li Wen began his digestion.

……

After a long time, as the energy was digested, Li Wen finally regained his ability to move.

Although there were still lines on his face that were corroded by the Honkai, the color was much darker than before.

Seeing this situation, Kiana was completely relieved.

It seems that Li Wen did not lie to her.

"We've rested enough. It's time for us to leave." Li Wen stood up and stretched.

"Yeah." Kiana nodded, and just as she was about to walk towards the stairs, she was stopped by Li Wen.

"What's wrong?" Kiana asked with a puzzled look.

"Walking up the stairs is too slow." Li Wen replied with a smile.

"Huh?" Kiana scratched her head in confusion. "If not the stairs, then where should we go?"

Li Wen took a few steps forward, stood at the edge of the building, and pointed downwards, "Jump down."

Listening to Li Wen's words, Kiana opened her eyes wide in shock.

"Come quickly, come quickly." Li Wen waved his hand.

Although she was a little unconvinced, Kiana still walked over and stood beside Li Wen.

Li Wen extended his hand towards Qiana and said with a smile, "To thank you for taking care of me just now, I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to experience an aerial journey, Miss K."

Looking at Li Wen's outstretched hand, Kiana hesitated slightly, and finally stretched out her own hand.

Holding Kiana's hand, feeling the warmth of jade in his hand, Li Wen asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Kiana nodded nervously.

After hearing Kiana's answer, Li Wen took Kiana's hand and jumped down from the roof of a high-rise building in the "Shencheng Pharmaceutical" industrial zone.

However, things turned out to be beyond Kiana's expectations. A gentle breeze gently supported her body, carrying her like a light feather, slowly falling downwards.

The gentle wind ruffled her hair and soothed her heartstrings.

Looking at the buildings and colorful lights in the distance, her mood gradually relaxed.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that she had been in this city for so long, but she had never really appreciated the scenery of this city.

Everything was firmly suppressed by her thoughts.

After saving Sky City, she was finally able to relax completely and gaze at the scenery that she had once ignored.

As she looked at the scenery in front of her, an idea suddenly came to her mind: this was the meaning of her hard work.

However, as the distance continued to decrease, several figures came into view. Kiana's heartstrings suddenly trembled, and her pupils widened a lot under the stimulation of such emotions.

"Himeko...Teacher!"

Chapter 22 He is Otto's brother

At this moment, there was no room for anything else in her eyes.

The dazzling colors of Sky City that originally fascinated and comforted her have been completely blocked by her consciousness, and only the dazzling red remains in her eyes.

That familiar face was once the memory she was most afraid to recall.

The thought of that face, which had once been so warm and kind, made her even more sad.

A crack continued to erode her heart, telling her what the woman named "Muliangta Jizi" once expected of her.

Jizi had the opportunity to kill her once and for all, obliterating Kiana Kaslana, K423, and the Herrscher of the Sky into history.

But Jizi didn't.

The last sword did not cut through her body, but just fell behind her.

She would never forget that scene, nor the salvation that the woman named "Muliangta Himeko" had given her.

Teacher Jizi gave her hope to live.

However, in return, the Red Knight, whose luck had run out, fell into the bottomless imaginary space.

During the period of escape, every time she closed her eyes, she would think of the scene at that time, and how she watched the Herrscher of the Sky controlling her body to hurt those closest to her.

Finally, in another moment of desperation, she drew her gun and pressed it against her jaw.

Just one click, one pull of the trigger, and she would die together with that demon.

However, she didn't.

This is not only because of Fu Hua's consolation, but also because of Ji Zi's expectation.

Jizi hopes she can survive.

Hence, the Sky Ranger came into being, and the plan to break the conspiracy of "Shencheng Medicine" was formed.

However, although the cracks in the heart have stopped spreading, they will not heal again under the influence of past memories.

At least, she has no plans to heal it now.

Because she still hasn't accepted Ji Zi's departure, she wants to rescue her from the imaginary space.

And now, Wuliangta Jizi reappeared in front of her.

Excitement, shock, doubt, disbelief, all kinds of emotions kept mixing in her mind, and finally turned into two clear tear marks.

"Jiko...teacher..."

The vision in front of me was already cloudy with tears, but the bright red was still so vivid.

"Kiana, long time no see." Seeing that Kiana was safe and sound, Jizi was also very excited, "Are you... okay?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Kiana's tears rolled down like a dam breaking.

At this moment, she was choking with sobs and could not utter a complete sentence. She could only nod her head vigorously.

"I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound. You must have suffered a lot during this period of time." Looking at Kiana's appearance, Jizi showed a distressed look on her face.

The most innocent and carefree student at St. Freya Academy, now adventuring out on her own, was now in the world. Add to that the Herrscher of the Void within her, intent on seizing Kiana's body. She could only imagine how much suffering she must have endured during this time.

"It's okay." Kiana managed to answer while trying to hold back her sobs.

Having said that, she was about to say that she also had a companion to accompany her during this period, when she found that Mei's eyes were fixed on her side.

Following Mei's gaze, she was surprised to find that she and Li Wen were still holding hands.

So, she quickly pulled her hand back and introduced him to Mei and Jizi: "His name is Li Wen, and he is my savior."

"Savior..." Mei murmured, repeating Kiana's words.

On the other side, seeing Kiana hastily withdrawing her hand, Li Wen shrugged slightly, then greeted Ji Zi, "Ms. Ji Zi, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

"Yes, Mr. Li Wen." Ji Zi also smiled. "I didn't expect that after saving me, you saved my student again."

"Yeah." Li Wen also found it interesting. "I just heard your conversation and realized that you are actually teacher and student."

"Save Teacher Jizi?" Kiana showed a puzzled look.

Ji Zi explained, "Didn't I fall into the imaginary space during the battle with the Herrscher of the Void? Mr. Li Wen, who happened to be drifting in the imaginary space at the time, rescued me."

So that’s it!

Although there were still traces of tears on her face, Kiana still put on a very serious look and thanked Li Wen: "Thank you for saving Teacher Jizi."
