Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

The woman opened her eyes with a weak breath.

Like waking from a nightmare, she was able to escape from the disgusting darkness.

There was a soft light in front of her that was not glaring, but her body functions were reminding her that even such a soft light would still cause some harm to her who had just returned from the darkness.

Warmth and hurt, these two opposing words, are unified at this moment.

She endured the uncontrollable tears flowing from her eyes and tried hard to adapt to the light before her.

The already blurred memories slowly flowed into her mind as her body functions recovered.

Saint Freya, Far East, Destiny... one word after another emerged in her mind, awakening her past.

So, with the help of memory and under the influence of a mixed emotion of sadness and joy, joy and worry occupied her eyes.

She remembered that her name was - Wuliangta Jizi.

She also remembered her last lesson, the last of her life, the last of her consciousness, and the student she still missed - Kiana Kaslana.

Chapter 3 The Price

She realized that she was still alive.

In front of her was an instrument she had never seen before. She could feel that under the treatment of the instrument, the pain in her body seemed to be subsiding little by little.

She wanted to raise her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes. This was not the time to be sad. At least, she was still alive.

However, her body functions, which had not yet recovered, did not allow her to do so.

She had just raised her arm halfway when it fell back onto the bed weakly.

"Your body hasn't recovered yet. Don't try to move for now. Just wait for the life support cabin to be repaired."

A clear male voice sounded from the side.

Is it the owner of this voice who saved me?

Such speculation arose in Wuliangta Jizi's mind.

She did not insist on moving, but lay quietly and motionless according to the man's words.

"Very good." Seeing that Wuliangta Jizi was willing to listen to him, Li Wen nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to instruct, "It will take some time for the treatment in the life support cabin. You can close your eyes and rest for a while. After all, waiting is always a long and boring thing."

Ji Zi stared blankly at the soft light above her head for a while, as if she wanted to completely reflect it into her mind.

Her eyes gradually became hazy, and she began to recall the last scene in her previous memory - the collapsing imaginary space and the painful wails of the Ruler of the Void.

Did I succeed?

Such questions arose in her mind.

The Herrscher of the Sky's performance undoubtedly proved the effectiveness of the HSN-b46 serum, but she was not aware of how Kiana was able to regain control of her body.

But remembering that he was the one among her students who would never give up easily, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly unconsciously, and she seemed to hear her own laughter in her ears.

I wonder how everyone is doing?

She felt a little emotional, as so many changes had taken place in such a short period of time.

If I stand in front of Theresa again, she will definitely be shocked... Thinking of her old friend's reaction, she felt a little happier.

However, her complicated emotions did not affect her for long, and she slowly fell asleep with the support of her tired body.

……

When she regained consciousness, the previous feeling of weakness had mostly disappeared, and the bone-gnawing pain had also dissipated. Ji Zi had never felt her body so relaxed.

She propped herself up and sat up, looking around at her temporary residence.

The space in front of her was not very big. Apart from the table, wardrobe and other daily necessities, most of the space was occupied by the bed under her.

It seems to be just an ordinary residence...

After confirming the surrounding environment, she began to look at her body.

The Eclipse Armor he was originally wearing had long since disappeared, and the lines on his body that were corroded by the violent Honkai energy had also disappeared.

She was wearing a rather loose white shirt, and on the cabinet next to her was a set of unopened cartoon pajamas.

After a little hesitation, she opened the package, put on her pajamas, then opened the door and walked out.

The structure here is not complicated. There is only one passage, and the limited space on both sides is divided into other office areas under a reasonable layout.

Library, entertainment room, equipment room, life support room...

Most of the rooms are tightly closed and don't even have windows, except for the life support room.

Ji Zi looked into the life support room with great curiosity, and at first glance she saw the strange instrument she had noticed before.

“This is where I received treatment before…”

She made a judgment in her heart and continued to walk forward along the passage.

Soon, a fork appeared in the road ahead.

Just as Ji Zi was hesitating about which way to go, a voice suddenly rang out.

As the former captain of Hyperion, she was very familiar with this sound, the sound of the mechanical hatch opening and closing.

So she walked towards the passage where the sound came from.

When she successfully arrived at the hall, she found a handsome blond young man just sitting down in a chair.

Blonde hair…it brought back bad memories.

Her arrival also attracted the attention of a man and a cat.

"Are you awake?" Li Wen asked happily.

"Yeah. Thank you for saving me." Ji Zi thanked.

She originally thought she was doomed to die, but unexpectedly she could be saved.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I saved you for a purpose." Li Wen said while waiting for his instant noodles.

"Hmph." Blake took a big bite of cat food and jumped onto the table. "Human girl, are you ready to pay the price, meow?"

"Price?" Ji Zi was stunned at first, then she looked at Li Wen's eyes which kept scanning her. Words like "in return for one's body" quickly flashed through her mind, and her face turned slightly red.

Although the man is very handsome and saved her life, completely meeting her standards for a "good man", her goal at the moment is to return to everyone in Saint Freya.

If the other party makes some excessive demands, should you agree to them?

"Hehe, human girl, it looks like you're ready to pay the price, meow." Blake and Li Wen exchanged a glance. The tacit understanding between the two old friends seemed natural at the moment. They spoke at the same time, "There's only one thing you need to do, and that is—"

"Marry him, meow."

"answer me."

The atmosphere in the air suddenly froze, and Li Wen turned his head to look at his companions.

After staring at each other for a while, he suddenly made a move, grabbed Blake by the scruff of the neck, and threw him backwards, "Get into the cab right now."

As Blake left, Li Wen barely cleared his throat and tried to keep a straight face. "That cat is crazy. Ignore him."

Jizi blinked, a bright smile suddenly appearing on her face.

After being embarrassed by the man and the cat, she was not the one who was embarrassed.

Listening to Ji Zi's laughter, Li Wen shook his head helplessly. "In short, I only have one request of you. Answer my questions, and I'll repay you for saving me."

"Okay." Ji Zi nodded after listening to Li Wen's words.

"Well, to facilitate communication, could you please tell me your name, Miss?"

"Murata Himeko."

"Very good, Miss Jizi. First question: Are you from destiny?" Still not recovered from the embarrassment just now, he continued to support his head with his hands, blocking his face and vision.

"To be precise, it used to be." Ji Zi replied.

Was she? So, what happened to her that made her no longer a member of Skyward Sword? But she's still wearing Skyward Sword armor?

Li Wen was a little surprised, but this did not interrupt his questioning.

"Second question: Is your destiny controlled by the three major families of Apokalys, Shaniat, and Kaslana?"

"Yes." Ji Zi thought about it and nodded.

"Question three: Did Providence ever possess a bishop named Nicholas Apocalis?"

"Yes."

"How many sons does he have?"

"Four."

Because she was once Saint Freya's teacher, Ji Zi still remembers the information about destiny very clearly.

"Do you know their names?" Li Wen asked again.

"This... I only know that Bishop Otto is the third son of Bishop Nicolas. I'm not too clear about the rest."

After all, in the history of Tianming, apart from Lisa Shaniat who once caused trouble, who would bother to remember the names of these other minor characters?

The reason why Ji Zi knew all this was because she once admired Otto very much and made a special effort to learn about it.

"Otto..." Hearing a familiar name again, Li Wen continued, "Then, let me ask you another question. Do you know the whereabouts of Nicholas' four sons?"

After asking this question, he held his breath and waited for the other party's answer. Whether he could confirm whether the world the other party came from was the one he wanted to return to depended on the answer this time.

"It seems Bishop Otto's two older brothers died in battle. As for his younger brother... I remember Bishop Otto once said he seemed to be missing."

It's right! Li Wen was a little excited. This was the world he needed to return to, the home he had left for so long.

Moreover, this woman in front of me had actually spoken to Otto before. It seemed like I hadn't been away for that long...

Fortunately, fortunately...

Li Wen felt a little emotional.

"So, here's the last question: What year is it now?"

"It was December 2016 before I fell into a coma."

"2016 AD——"

Li Wen was suddenly stunned. What the hell? Did I hear something wrong just now?

"Is it 2016 now?" he confirmed with the other party again.

"Yeah." Jizi nodded.

Li Wen suddenly felt a little dizzy. Hadn't this woman spoken to Otto before? How could it be that over five hundred years had passed?

He felt that he might need to calm down.

Chapter 4: Take it, Miss Jizi!

More than five hundred years... This made Li Wen's expression very complicated. He didn't expect that he had been away for so long.

He used to be just an ordinary boy with a wonderful life.

However, one day, when he woke up again, he found himself in a place called the main god's space and became a worker there.

After years of hard work and paying a price that others could not imagine, he finally regained his freedom and returned to his hometown with hope.

However, time did not stop because of his departure. More than five hundred years had wiped out everything he knew.

Thinking of his relatives and friends who had sworn to save the world together when they were young, he felt a little sad.

However, after years of trials and tribulations, he is no longer the same person he used to be.

Putting aside the disturbing thoughts, he began to think about what Ji Zi had just said.
