The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

The moment Alicia appeared in front of humans, not only Chen Ran, Cecilia and others were surprised, even Otto, who was far away over the Mediterranean, was sending a message to the Tower of Babel.

However, Chen Ran didn't care about Otto's news except asking his assistant to give a routine reply.

He is about to leave here, what does he need to reply?

For Chen Ran, what he needs to do now is to entertain Alysia and at the same time find out a series of important events that happened between the Fifth Collapse and the Ruler of the End.

Although he also knew that even if he knew these things and forcibly reversed some tragedies, new tragedies might still occur.

But this does not mean that this known past is worthless.

Just like his simulation wouldn't be worthless.

After placing the Herrscher Gem in the Tower of Babel, Chen Ran let Cecilia and Xilin leave.

He and Alicia walked out of the Tower of Babel and began a conversation that only they could have.

"Hey, Chen Ran, it turns out you don't know a lot of things right now."

Alicia blinked and smiled, "It makes me so sad that it's not the real you here."

“I don’t even know where the real me is.”

Chen Ran directly confessed the fact that he jumped into time: "If the real me died in the Final Battle, then I would also find a way to escape from that battle directly."

This is also the most troubling thing for Chen Ran now.

If the end of fate destined the destruction of the previous civilization era, was there really a "Chen Ran" who was destroyed along with that era, or did he survive that destruction and sneak away?

Chen Ran simulated many times, but did not receive any news about 'Chen Ran' in the simulated future.

Perhaps the real him lived to the end, but not to this day.

Who knows?

The cunning and mockery of fate made him begin to have an inexplicable awe for this mysterious thing.

"After all, you are the one who works the hardest among the group."

Alicia didn't criticize Chen Ran's slightly evasive words, but instead asked, "So, how long will you keep jumping into time?"

"Maybe it's when you're completely desperate."

Chen Ran said so.

He was not particularly familiar with Alicia, but now he could tell her his innermost thoughts.

"From the beginning, I just wanted to survive until the end. It was also because of some reasons that I had the idea of ​​saving our era."

"Ah, now I'm actually just back to my original idea. Victory lies in surviving until the end. I'm too young to choose to be buried with civilization."

Chen Ran learned a lot about his future from Alicia.

For example, he and Kevin and others defeated many Herrschers.

We also built a global connection for humanity and overcame the memetic difficulties when the Ruler of Consciousness came.

There was also gossip about the frequent private contacts with MEI before the Stigmata Terminal was activated.

Alicia didn't say much about him, but he felt that the 'Chen Ran' she mentioned was not like him.

It's like a heroic template.

"Hmm, that's the best way to think about it."

Alicia paused and said, "You are not a hero. You don't need to shoulder a noble mission if you are tired."

She winked playfully, "You can find me, Ai Li, and I'll tell you a story."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "Okay."

They no longer talked about things of that era, but began to imagine the future.

Alicia has completed her mission as the Fire Chaser. For the rest of her life, everything she wants to do will have nothing to do with fighting the Honkai.

In the final analysis, the organization that fights against the collapse of this era can no longer restrain Alicia.

They walked a little further.

Chen Ran said, "Well, I think it's time for me to say goodbye."

He no longer needed to simulate this scenario.

He half-jokingly said, "If you from the future have anything to say to your past self, I'll pass it on for you."

Alicia blinked and said, "Yes."

"If I had to say something to my past self, I would say: Chen Ran is a bad guy. He already has several girlfriends. Don't let him fool you."

Chen Ran: "Do I look like such a scumbag?"

"Be bolder and remove the word 'like'."

Alicia also knew that unless there were any special accidents, she would not have many opportunities to meet Chen Ran in the future.

Before returning to Earth from the moon, Xiaoyou told Alicia a piece of news.

[Chen Ran did not survive to this day. He disappeared after the Final Battle.]

Obviously, Yulandel also knew that Chen Ran was actually a time traveler.

As for Xiaoyou's news, Alicia did not tell Chen Ran himself.

Chen Ran waved his hand: "I'll bring it there."

The two parted ways.

For Alicia, this was just the fulfillment of an established agreement, and for Chen Ran, he had also completed the task of this stage.

However, Chen Ran didn’t know that after he left, Alicia met another person.

"Hello, Miss Alicia."

"The snake has come to take you by the Lord's command."

A gray snake in a cloak appears on the snowy plains of Siberia.

Alicia's eyes narrowed slightly: "Who is your Lord?"

"Kevin Kaslana."

This was another name that was familiar to her.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Alicia's eyes, but a half-joke still played on the corner of her mouth: "I thought it was MEI? Or Mebius."

"But it doesn't seem surprising if it's Kevin's words."

"He is the only one who can fully implement MEI's will. So, how far has the Stigmata Project progressed?"

...

...

When Chen Ran returned to the Tower of Babel again, he met someone unexpected.

Otto Apokalis.

This is Otto in the year 2000. He has not yet met the so-called 'God' and is trying his best to speed up the coming of the Herrscher until the Herrscher of Death appears.

Even though Otto from 2014 traveled here, he was skeptical about his words.

At least, with the Serenity Gem, he seemed to be able to execute the first plan faster.

Therefore, when he learned that one of the Herrscher Gems sent by Alicia was the Serenity Gem, he could no longer sit still and came here as quickly as possible.

"Welcome back, my dear Dr. Chen. You and your friends have brought me an unexpected surprise."

Despite being five hundred years old, the still youthful archbishop smiled widely. Cecilia, who was standing beside him, could only express her helplessness with her eyes.

Chen Ran sighed and said, "I thought you would have someone arrest me right away."

"how could be?"

Otto said, "Believe me, what you did is like a brave warrior fighting a dragon, worthy of being praised in poems that will be passed down for centuries."

"I have always been fascinated by the people of that era, and now, I can finally communicate with them face to face."

"To demonstrate my sincerity, I have also notified an old friend of yours. It won't take long for her to arrive as well."

Chen Ran raised an eyebrow: "Are you referring to Fu Hua?"

"It seems that you have a very thorough understanding of the information of this era."

"Haha, Fu Hua is an honest person, don't bully her." Chen Ran paused and said, "Forget it, just tell me your purpose directly. I don't think there is anything about me that deserves your attention right now."

What Chen Ran said was the truth.

Until now, Otto has had only one goal, which is to resurrect Kallen.

However, his goals and Otto's goals are actually in conflict.

Although fate will return to its original track in an ingenious way after a deviation, the impact caused by the deviation is not small at all.

For example, if Sirin hadn't become the Herrscher of the Sky in 2000, then the million people in Siberia wouldn't have been displaced, and there wouldn't have been a meteorite falling from the sky, causing widespread casualties. This is the deviation of fate.

At this point, his actions could easily cause Kallen to disappear directly. Of course, there was also a chance that Kallen could survive normally.

A grain of sand in the era can be a mountain when it falls on anyone.

From this point of view, Otto and he should be enemies.

In fact, Otto thought so too.

He received news from himself 14 years later. Although he was skeptical about some of the words, there was no doubt that the man in front of him might be able to save Kallen.

But it's only possible.

Because if the information he obtained 14 years later was true, then there was also a chance that Kallen would disappear directly.

It's not just death, but the erasure of all traces of existence in time and memory.

However, Otto at this time was less cautious and more confident than he was fourteen years later.

He has not yet started the Sirin Project. What he wants is to use the authority of the Herrscher of Death to directly seize Kallen's consciousness. Therefore, urging the Herrscher of Life and Death is his top priority.

Therefore, the purpose of his coming to find Chen Ran was to ask Chen Ran to assist the Ruler of Life and Death.

Facing Chen Ran's somewhat teasing words, Otto directly stated his purpose.

Although Xukong Wanzang commented that Chen Ran was a lucky man of that era, many of the things he has done now are enough to make Otto himself pay attention.

"I don't think so. On the contrary, I have 100 percent respect for anyone who comes from that era."

Otto looked at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran also stared at him.

"I'm a sophisticated egoist," he said. "So, if I help you, what benefit can you bring me?"

If the destruction of the previous civilization era was inevitable, then there would essentially be no basis for cooperation between him and Otto.

Even if the real Kiana were to return to his era, it would be useless, because even if the End was defeated, there would still be various accidents.

However, when Otto put forward the conditions, Chen Ran almost agreed without hesitation.

"In exchange for a copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls, you need to agree to two conditions."

"The Herrscher of Death... and the Stigmata Terminal contain information about the location of Kallen's stigmata."

Chen Ran had no reason to refuse.

Being familiar with the plot, he naturally knew what the Dead Sea Scrolls were.

If Honkai is the power in the dimension of consciousness, then what the Dead Sea Scrolls record is the smooth path to a higher dimension.

The real Dead Sea Scrolls were once in the possession of Princess Nancy Edison, which contained some records about the 11th dimension.

To beings in higher dimensions, the collapse or not of their civilization is simply insignificant, and humanity’s struggles in the midst of collapse are nothing more than the annoying croaking of frogs.

What "They" are truly interested in are certain ripples in the eleven-dimensional spacetime that we cannot yet understand, and the anomalies on this planet are nothing more than a few annoying frog calls.

This is the Dead Sea Scroll, the closest record humans have to higher-dimensional life.

In the plot that Chen Ran remembered, the Dead Sea Scrolls were given to Princess Nancy by the Finns, but the contents were tampered with by Otto.

It was precisely because of this tampering that Princess Nancy Edison's indirect death was directly caused.

The power that Princess Nancy used to rescue Schrödinger from the quantum sea with the help of the "interferometer" came from the 11th dimension. This power belongs neither to humans nor to Honkai.
