Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

Li Wen nodded, said nothing more, and walked out of the research institute.

Seeing this, Kiana quickly followed.

……

"What? The Ruler of Rule has been dealt with?" Tesla was confused after receiving the notification from "Destiny".

Although we had known before that Li Wen and others were preparing to defeat the Ruler of Rule, how could it be resolved so quickly and quietly?

Seeing this, Einstein also revealed a thoughtful expression. "So, the hosts' sudden connection with the Ruler of Rule was also caused by this sudden attack?"

"Yeah." Kiana nodded and quickly explained the details to everyone.

After figuring out the cause of the incident, the people from "Anti-Entropy" did not delay and immediately began to deal with the subsequent matters.

Although the hosts have been able to return to normal life after losing the control of the Ruler of Rule, the injuries they suffered before may not be healed in a short time.

Deteriorating interpersonal relationships and the negative impact of impersonating others...

Tesla felt quite a headache when she thought about this, but these things had to be dealt with. She could only arrange the staff to start contacting the relatives of these hosts one by one.

Chapter 121 Imaginary Ancient Leaves

The remaining influence of the puppet is progressing smoothly under the joint control of "Anti-Entropy" and "Destiny".

Some recovered quickly, such as a talk show host who was controlled by a puppet. Not only did he recover extremely quickly, but he also retained some memories of when he was controlled by the puppet.

After recovering, he regarded this memory as a very precious and special experience.

Although he could not reveal his experience in any way due to the signing of a confidentiality agreement, he found other ways and began to imitate the puppet's expression and tone in his own show, and in this way continued his life as a talk show host.

Although the comments on the Internet are all about "He deserves a beating" and "I really want to hit him", it is undeniable that his popularity has increased a lot compared to before thanks to his imitation of dolls.

Some of the more seriously ill patients also received normal guidance and gradually resumed their normal lives with the joint efforts of the two major forces.

Some ridiculous things happened during this period.

The host of the first puppet detected earlier, Professor of Medicine Lewis Hagen, discovered after recovering from "anti-entropy" that the subject he had been working on had been easily cracked by Tesla decades ago, and his spirit suffered some serious damage.

After that, he expressed a strong desire to meet Tesla, and took action. After breaking into Tesla's test site twice in a row, he suffered some injuries.

However, he later demonstrated his professionalism and relevant skills, and finally got his wish to stay in "Anti-Entropy", and under Einstein's arrangement, became an assistant to Tesla.

……

The martial law on the Mandate side has also been lifted due to the solution provided by the Ruler of Rule.

After the relevant matters were completed, considering that the system task had not been completed, and that the Ruler of Domination had previously considered inducing the awakening of the Ruler consciousness in Kiana, Theresa, Anna and others.

To be on the safe side, Li Wen planned to have Otto and the others perform another consciousness transfer, transferring the consciousness of all three Herrschers into the distributed core of the Herrscher of Domination.

After discussing with Otto and confirming the feasibility of this method, Li Wen told Kiana the corresponding news.

Kiana had no objection to this. After all, although the Herrscher's consciousness had been firmly suppressed by her, as Li Wen said, if the Herrscher had any other way to target them next, they could turn into a dangerous bomb again at any time.

However, she also expressed her own hope, "Can her consciousness be preserved? I want to communicate with her."

"communicate?"

"Yes. At the beginning, I just regarded myself as an ordinary person who knew nothing, and regarded the other party as the evil Herrscher consciousness. But now I understand that both the Herrscher of the Sky and I are extensions of Sirin's consciousness."

Kiana pursed her lips and said, "So I want to have a good talk with her."

"Okay." Li Wen agreed without hesitation.

So, Li Wen and Kiana rushed directly towards the Consciousness Research Institute.

When he arrived at the Consciousness Research Institute, Otto was already making preparations, but the Herrscher of Consciousness had not arrived yet.

After a while, the Herrscher of Consciousness rushed to the Institute of Consciousness.

"Long time no see, Xiaoshi." Kiana greeted the other party.

"What Xiaoshi! You should call her Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge! Do you hear me?" After hearing Kiana's call, Herrscher of Knowledge immediately pinched her waist, gritted her teeth, and began to correct her.

Originally, Kiana and others called her the Herrscher of Knowledge. However, since Fu Hua called out "Xiao Shi" during a conversation and she responded subconsciously, everyone started calling her "Xiao Shi".

This has always made her very unhappy.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started quickly."

Li Wen said directly.

After all, they were already familiar with this experiment, and all they had to deal with was the Herrscher's consciousness that had fallen into a deep sleep, so it was naturally easier.

Kiana skillfully lay down in the consciousness jammer, fixed the corresponding tools, and began to wait.

Seeing this, the Herrscher of Consciousness no longer tried to correct anything, but instead started the machine and began to infuse his power into it.

Under Otto's precise control, the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void was quickly drawn into the distributed core of the Herrscher of Domination.

The moment the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness was transferred away, a prompt appeared in Li Wen's mind.

[The mission is completed, and the reward props are being distributed. ]

[Obtained item, Imaginary Ancient Leaf*1. ]

Imaginary Ancient Leaf? Is this the item the system mentioned that might attract inexplicable attention?

Li Wen's mind moved, and he focused his attention on the props he had just obtained and checked the corresponding instructions.

[Ancient Imaginary Leaf: The embodiment of the imaginary law, the realization of the promised vision.]

In other words, can this thing really fulfill my wish?

After reciting the description of this prop several times in his mind, Li Wen roughly figured out its function.

but……

Just in case, Li Wen asked the system in his mind, "Is this 'Imaginary Ancient Leaf' sure to fulfill my wish? What if my wish can't be fulfilled?"

In response to Li Wen’s question, the “Healing System” also gave an answer.

The wishes granted by the Imaginary Ancient Leaf are limited in scope. If a wish cannot be granted, the Imaginary Ancient Leaf will not generate a corresponding reaction and will not be consumed.

[As for the host's wish, it is completely achievable. Considering the host's other mission to "treat Otto Apokalis," the system suggests that the host give the Imaginary Ancient Leaf to him. This will ensure that the person who is resurrected is the Karen Kaslana in Otto Apokalis's heart.]

"Can it be given to others for use?" Li Wen was quite surprised.

[This item is a special consumable item and can be given to others for use.]

Listening to the system's explanation, Li Wen nodded slightly.

In this way, one of my worries will be put to rest.

Thinking about meeting Karen again soon, he suddenly felt much more cheerful.

"What's wrong? Are you so happy?"

At this time, Kiana, who had completed the transfer experiment, came to Li Wen and asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just thought of some happy things." Li Wen smiled.

Chapter 122 "Xilin"

"Oh." Kiana nodded thoughtfully before asking, "How is the Herrscher of the Sky's consciousness?"

"It's not a problem. It's just that her Herrscher core is restrained, so she hasn't woken up yet." Li Wen explained, "We will soon move her to a corresponding special facility. Once there, you will be able to communicate with her normally."

It didn't take much effort. After Otto finished dealing with the subsequent matters, he took the distributed core of the Ruler of Domination and led the two of them to the special storage room that had been prepared for the distributed core.

After entering the storage room and placing the core, Otto explained the situation. "Next, you just need to inject some Houkai energy into this core to awaken the Herrscher of the Sky's consciousness."

After saying that, he walked out directly.

Li Wen glanced at Kiana and walked out with Otto, leaving this space to Kiana alone.

With the departure of Li Wen and Otto, Kiana was the only one left in this space.

Fu Hua's consciousness had long been taken away by the Herrscher of Consciousness. Before Bronya was able to completely copy Fu Hua's body, the two of them were in a state of sharing a body.

Kiana took a deep breath, prepared herself, and placed her palm on the distributed core, injecting a small amount of Honkai energy into it.

Slowly, the shadow of a girl with white hair and golden eyes appeared.

Her expression was very calm and gentle, making it impossible to tell the ferocity she possessed as the Herrscher of the Void.

He was a little confused at first, then came to his senses and understood the current situation. The gentleness on the Herrscher of the Sky's face immediately disappeared.

She looked at Kiana coldly and said slowly, "Are you here specifically to mock me, Container?"

"No. I just want to have a good talk with you." Kiana shook her head slightly.

"Let's talk?" The Herrscher of the Void continued with a cold face, "I have nothing to discuss with you."

"But I do. Because we are all part of Sirin, an extension of Sirin." Kiana's face was very serious.

"Haha, I thought you were going to say something." The Herrscher of the Void sneered upon hearing this. "Now, you're claiming to be Xilin? You're just imagining nonsense. Are you crazy?"

She revealed a look of considerable interest. "Since you claim to be Xilin, how do you plan to fulfill Xilin's wish and destroy the worlds she failed to destroy? Having just experienced those memories, you should not have forgotten the torture she endured, right?"

"Let's put an end to these tactics, Herrscher of the Void, no, the other Sirin," Kiana said gravely. "For so long, you've been impersonating Sirin, wantonly venting your malice and hatred. This has separated me from the real Sirin, causing me to refuse to face my own identity."

"Vent unchecked? Cut off? That's the answer you came up with, the conclusion you derived from Sirin's memories." The Herrscher of the Void glanced at her. "The torture Sirin endured, the revenge she vowed to take, don't these reveal the true nature of her desire?"

"That's just your wish, not Xilin's," Kiana continued in a deep voice. "Her dream contained turbulent, filthy darkness, but also a calm, warm glow. Complex and conflicting emotions intertwined within her heart, but you only wanted me to see the resentment within."

"Just because you've read some memories, you really think you understand Xilin? Okay, then let's have a good chat." The Herrscher of the Void sneered, "Hope, trust... People always like to talk about these words, repeating lies over and over again.

"Isn't it in this name that those hypocritical researchers took Xilin away, pushing her into hell, and welcoming a fate worse than death?

"The seeds of hatred were sown at that time. It was humanity itself that made Xilin unable to trust others anymore."

Kiana remained unmoved. "But there, she met Aurora, Agata, and Bella. These were the names of the friends Xilin met in that laboratory, and they were also the names she cared about the most in the end.

She never forgot them. The collapse tore at Xilin's heart, but it couldn't erase their images from her memory.

"Whenever she thought of these names, Xilin would feel longing and sadness. Until the end, she longed to see everyone again."

"However, it was humans who took them away from Xilin," the Herrscher of the Void said coldly. "These children ultimately became victims of the Babylonian laboratory. They are dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Even the Herrscher of the Death cannot do that.

"With nothing left, Xilin was left with only revenge. She used the power bestowed by God to wash that hell with blood, bringing down the judgment that those demons deserved.

"There were innocent people in that tower, but Xilin no longer cared. She unapologetically inflicted her own pain on another, simply because she no longer wanted to be associated with humans."

"But even then, there were people who wanted to save her." Kiana took a deep breath and slowly pronounced the name, "Cecilia."

Hearing this name, the Herrscher of the Sky's tone was no longer so harsh. "She may have had strange feelings for Xilin, but love is too pale and powerless in the face of hate. The world won't allow her to do so. In the end, she can only turn her weapons against Xilin.

"They killed her together—that's what you call salvation. Your so-called kindness and understanding are the deepest irony to Xilin's fate."

Kiana sighed softly, “No matter what you say, their appearance remains in Xilin’s heart.

"In the boundless darkness, Xilin had a recurring dream. The warmth you despised was the treasure she most desired in her dreams.

"She longs to start over, to be an ordinary person, to have friends, and to have an ordinary but happy family.

“She longs for love, for the warm arms, for the embrace of her parents.

"She longed for hope, longed for happiness, and she kept repeating to herself the words she had heard from Cecilia.

"All of this was engraved deep within her core, transcending time to carry her final prayer into the future, giving birth to a new consciousness.

“That’s me. I’m the ‘another chance’ that Celine longs for.

“You interpret everything as binary, but the human heart is never that simple.

“We are two souls born from Xilin’s wish, like two branches from the same tree, reaching in different directions.

"We share the same memories, but we've taken completely different paths."

After a long silence, the Herrscher of the Void finally spoke, "Even the same memory is a different scene in different eyes. I don't know, nor do I care, what you are. The purpose of my coming into this world is to destroy everything and bring ruin to this world."

"I will save the world." Kiana said heavily.
