The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

The Fire Chaser Herrscher of the Collapsing World Author: An Ai

In the resplendent courtyard, Mei asked suspiciously:

"Alicia, why are you always making sidelines about Mikael's current situation?"

"Oh? Is there? Probably because he was the only Herrscher in our era who fought for humans! He is both the First Herrscher and a human named Mikael. Hmm! Absolutely so!"

The girl with pink hair pretended to be careless.

"What about Mebius?"

"Cut!" The green little girl uttered only one syllable and turned her head away.

"Who else?" Mei covered her face.

"Pado?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Brother Jie obviously cares about Boss Mikael very much!"

"roll!"

"Kevin?"

"It's not exactly what you think. He has a more important meaning to us as a family that we have agreed to go into the future together."

Chapter 1 Qualifications to be a Witness

"Chicken soup is coming!"

With Selia's cheers, the children became restless, and some even stood on the stools, just to smell the aroma of chicken soup earlier.

Even the pink-haired girl next to Mikael was the same, even more active than the other children.

Only he himself is an exception - as a glorious soul-wearing uncle, he really can't imitate the movements of a ten-year-old child.

and……

"Hey... what, it's chicken soup, but there's really only soup..."

"Isn't there still a piece of meat!"

"What do you know, it's called Qilixiang!"

"Qilixiang...what does it have to do with chicken?"

"I don't know, Mikael said that the chicken butt is Qilixiang..."

Selia maintained an awkward but polite smile, and tapped Mikael on the head with a small wooden spoon.

"I know you read a lot, but don't tell them all nonsense!"

Mikael stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes. When a group of children were eager to drink hot chicken soup, he silently took a small section of corn, turned around and handed it to the girl beside him.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

But the girl just turned around with the bowl in hand, and the two seemed to be familiar with this kind of tacit understanding. The girl took the corn from Mikael's hand without hesitation, and Mikael silently took the soup from the girl.

Corn is a rare commodity in the orphanage.

And the warm chicken soup helps to swallow the tooth-chilling frozen potatoes.

"Speaking of which, that group of strange uncles came again this morning. Is this the third time? It's really annoying to have a physical examination!"

Mikael's hand shook, but the children were already chattering away.

He secretly looked at the girl beside him, she was lowering her head, silent.

If it was normal, she must be the center of all the children, and her words seemed to never stop, but... But her name is Alicia.

It was the Alicia who was obviously dressed up and smiled, but made people's tears fall unconsciously, and when she realized it, she had broken through the dimensional wall and came to this world.

He didn't know why he came to this era destined to end, but since he was already here and now, then...

So he stretched out his finger and poked Ellie's baby-fat face.

When she turned her head angrily, Mikael had already shown a warm smile.

Then he hit Selia on the head again, "Mikael, don't bully Ellie all the time."

"Boys, how about those uncles who brought you flour and butter, and I'll make you a cake tonight?"

"Great!"

After lunch, Mikael went back to his room.

His cramped bed was littered with various books and drawings.

"The Atomic Arrangement Structure of Iron", "The Carbon Infiltration of Steel", "The Drawings of Classic Handheld Firearms of the Last Century"...

I don't know why, but he is particularly interested in this kind of books recently.No, it seems that before he took possession of this body, this little boy had already started browsing books on chemistry.

It's certainly not something a ten-year-old should be exposed to—at least for the average kid.

He tidied up his books and drawings and walked towards Selia's room, but stopped at the door.

"Mother Selia, I...I want to get out of here."

Alicia's voice came from the room, Mikael pursed his lips, leaned against the wall, lowered his head slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Alicia came out, and she saw Mikael leaning against the wall at a glance.

"Hey, why are you here!" She seemed a little flustered.

Mikael raised his head, pursed his lips, but couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Hey! Why are your eyes red, you..."

Mikael quickly turned his head away, "It's all right! I..."

As he quibbled, he snorted a big snot bubble in his breath.

"Hey hey!" Alicia was amused by his appearance.

Mikael couldn't bear such a shameful look, and quickly ran into Selia's room with the book in his arms.

"Mother Selia..."

"Puchi!" Seeing the boy's snot bubbles constantly changing with his breathing, Selia immediately burst out laughing.

While wiping Mikael's snot off her nose, she asked, "What's wrong?"

He took a deep breath, and finally just said: "The date is up, I'm going to return the books, and bring some back by the way."

"Go now, can't you come back before sunset?"

Selia wanted to say that.

But she knew why the boy was crying just now.

In other words, she thought she knew why the boy was crying, so she really couldn't bear to refuse the boy's request.

"Alright then! Take the money and try to come back before dark!"

She stroked the boy's soft silver hair.

"Cough, cough, cough! "The Structural Principles of Modern Mainstream Mechas"... You child is quite different."

In the bookstore, a pale old man was sitting on a lame chair. He glanced at the book in the boy's hand and muttered in a voice that was almost hard to catch.

Mikael took out nine coins from his pocket and lined them up on the table.

He was a little apprehensive, the money was not enough to borrow the book—or, in other words, not enough to borrow the book and pay off the previous credit.

As for why there were only nine coins, it was naturally because of the cake in the box in his other hand.

But the old man leaned against the plastic board behind the chair and remained silent for a long time.

He didn't move, and Mikael didn't move for a moment.

"Bang!"

The thin door panel was blown away by the wind, and Mikael was shocked, and quickly wrapped his coat tightly.

But the old man still didn't move.

Mikael let out a soft sigh that a child couldn't even utter, stepped forward two steps, and lifted the other's sleeve.

Sure enough, the purple lines had spread to the wrist.

This disease...

"Honkai disease..."

Mikael recovered nine coins.

The doomed end is unfortunate for the old man, but not necessarily for Mikael - at least he can save money and take the old man's scarf to keep warm.

As for calling the police, or calling the hospital, the necessity has long since been lost.

For this small town named Vostok-51... no, soon, for the whole world, illness and death will become commonplace.

It was dusk when he left the bookstore, he should have walked faster, but today's steps were surprisingly heavy.

Also, no one knows the burden that this era will bear.

Only his identity as a witness has glimpsed a corner.

Night has fallen quietly.

"Too bad, it will take a long time to rush back to the orphanage."

Mikael hurriedly quickened his pace, he had promised Seria to leave early and return early.

What's more...he knew Alicia would leave.

He knew he couldn't stop her.

That's why he bought this cake just to send Alicia off with it.

After all, "Sweet cakes go best with beautiful girls."

She must have said so.

"salsa"

"salsa"

That's the sound of boots hitting the snow.

Mikael turned his head abruptly, no matter how well the other party hid it, and even deliberately walked with his steps, he finally heard the disharmony.

But he was wrong, the snow behind him was empty.

Dim and warm lights radiated from the low houses on both sides, illuminating the footprints on the snow.

There is no one else but himself.

He was also wrong, a very serious mistake.

That is—one should never expose one's back to the dark.

Sensing the movement behind him, Mikael turned his head stiffly, but saw an enlarged version of...a mosquito?

No!no!Its wings are not tightly connected to its body, and purple energy overflows from the top of its head in the form of lumps.

"This is... the Honkai Beast!"

The alarm bells in Mikael's heart rang loudly, beads of sweat kept rolling from his forehead, and were frozen by the wind and snow halfway.

Out of the corner of his eye, he quickly scanned his surroundings.

Perfect, couldn't find a baseball bat.

Although it's useless to find him, since his surname is not Kaslana, he can't display the strength that a baseball bat should have.

What's more... At this moment, this body is really just a child...

But before the emotion called fear spread completely, it ushered in another change——

The advance-level Honkai beast didn't attack Mikael, but rather... rubbed it up?

"why……"
