The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

But Mikael's hearing is good enough, he can still clearly hear the soft snoring in the room on his left. He turned over, kicked the quilt away, and shouted again.

Mikael thought about it again, and finally made up his mind—for now...don't tell Ellie.

So he turned around and knocked on the door on the right.

"Brother Mikael!"

Xier was sitting in front of the window, flipping the pages of the book lightly in the morning light.Seeing Mikael approaching, she quickly folded a small corner on the page, then put the book down, and stood up from the table.

Mikael closed the door, stood in front of Seele, first rubbed her head habitually, then pursed his lips, and said:

"Xie'er... are you... willing to believe me?"

"what!"

Seele's expression was a little confused. She didn't understand why Mikael would ask such a question, but she believed in Mikael, believed in getting along with her for more than a year, and believed in her subconscious dependence—Brother Mikael would definitely not hurt oneself.

So, she immediately replied: "Of course I do!"

Mikael pulled her to sit down, and unconsciously held her right hand.

"Xie'er, something may happen next, I can't take care of you... So I may have to send you to another place to stay for a while... But don't worry, although it's a bit deserted and remote there, Elder Sister Ellie will be with you."

"Huh?" Seele was a little confused, after all, Mikael's words were really vague. "

But she had already seen the fifth Honkai scene before, and she had a vague premonition that the reason why Mikael wanted to send her away temporarily was also directly related to that disaster.

"Of course Xier is fine!"

So she smiled slightly, "Actually, I don't need Sister Aili to accompany me, Xier can take care of herself, it's just..."

"only……"

Under her expectant gaze, Mikael hurriedly looked away, but Seele didn't seem to notice it.

She tilted her head and asked:

"Just, how long will Xier stay there?"

"Hmm...maybe half a year? Maybe a year?"

Mikael touched his nose guilty, and he talked as little time as possible.

That's right, he wants to bring Xi'er into the world bubble, and take her back after the sixth collapse of the original world is over.

After all, the world bubble in the quantum sea has been separated from the tree of imaginary numbers. Even if its "stems and leaves" still contain a little imaginary number internal energy, as long as there is no connection path with the tree of imaginary numbers, it is impossible to create a real world bubble. lawyer.

This is the method given by Mikael.

He still couldn't reconnect the broken bridge on the abyss, but accidentally found a fork that allowed the train to cross the abyss.

And the price to be paid is just Xier's temporary loneliness and Mikael's guilt—compared with what it saved, it is quite a bargain.

The only thing to worry about is that in this way, the process of the sixth collapse will be completely uncontrollable.How long Xier will stay there has also become a problem.

Of course Xier didn't understand this, but just looking at Mikael's expression, she also knew that the time she needed to wait was not short.

Naturally, it's not that she can't accept this kind of waiting. She trusts her brother unconditionally and without reservation, and believes that every decision he makes has its meaning-at least, it is beneficial to her and not harmful.

It's just that she felt a little disappointed when she thought that she might not see everyone for a long time.

So, "Then... will that allow Seele to say goodbye to everyone? Go to the nursing home and say goodbye to the children and Sister Aponia, and then say goodbye to everyone in the courtyard..."

"of course can."

A smile spread across Mikael's face.

Everything is going according to his plan, everything is going according to his preset track.

He's the one who directs what's going to happen, he's the one who prescribes what's going to happen—not just Seele, but another group of poor people.

All of a sudden, he felt that he was overlooking the world from the sky, with countless tiny threads hanging down from his fingertips, connecting men and women on the ground.

As he moved his fingers, people began to run along the path he constructed, thinking that it was his own choice—he finally understood a little bit about the mentality of the so-called gods to impose their fate on human beings.

It was an amazing feeling indeed.

However, there is still a lingering sense of guilt after all.

Mikael put his finger under his nose and sniffed it lightly, as if he could smell the faint smell of blood...

Chapter 31 I don't want to let them down

Walking on the deserted streets, the ground under your feet is covered with thick dust, and every undulation of your pace will cause fine gray particles to be thrown into the air.

It's strange that those particles didn't fall down as usual after reaching midair—if you ignore the surrounding buildings, this place looks like the moon, the girl thought to herself.

Seele clenched her chest with one hand, holding the pendant that Aponia gave her when she said goodbye not long ago, and she stretched out the other hand to gently collect the dust, and she could even easily knead the dust into solid soil However, when she let go of her hand, the ball was still floating in the air without any movement.

"Brother Mikael, what is this place... ahem!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, a large cloud of dust was inhaled by her with her breath, choking her to cough a lot, the hand holding the pendant couldn't help but let go, and gently covered her mouth.

The pendant bounced on her chest. It had a strange shape, only half of it, and it was asymmetrical, like a vertical crescent moon, but it didn't have the pointed ends at both ends of the crescent moon, but two vertical lines strokes.

It's like someone split a circle in half along the diameter, leaving a knife light at the fracture.

Still holding Seele with one hand, Mikael snapped his fingers with the other, and the whole world came alive again.

The dust fell to the ground, and was blown up by the wind blowing from nowhere, dyeing the dilapidated and dead streets into a gray one.

World bubble, here is the world bubble.

But what exactly is here?Mikael really never paid attention.The first time I came in, it was still far from the sixth Honkai, and the second time I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say a few words to Ellie.

As for this time, he came here just to push the sixth Honkai off the originally set track, and it seemed that he didn't need to know "where" it was.

So he was silent for a while, unable to answer any questions, he could only drag Xier forward to the base where Mei and Ellie were.

"call--"

The wind picked up so suddenly that Mikael almost staggered, stinking in front of Seele.

"Woooooo-"

The retro-style telephone poles beside the road are connected by empty rubber "wires". Driven by the strong wind, they shake their bodies desperately, like whips cutting through the airflow, and make a bursting sound that is not different from whimpering.

The dust rose again, and the vision was not so clear.

Against the wind, the two turned around two more streets and came to a long bridge.

The wind suddenly slowed down, and the world returned to tranquility at this moment, only the flat sound of running water kept going away and returning from afar.

Xi'er couldn't help running two quick steps and leaning against the wall, looking at the crumpled flowing water under the bridge, with an inexplicable smile on her face.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly.

She took two quick steps back and carefully examined the carved patterns on the railings of the bridge.

Even after a long period of exposure to wind, rain, and sun, without maintenance, the edges and corners were gradually smoothed, and the patterns were out of shape, Xier still recognized it——

It was as if she recognized the city easily.

"what happened?"

Mikael asked suspiciously.

Seele didn't speak for a while, but took Mikael's hand instead, and led him to run towards a ruined wall beside the bridge.

It has long since lost its original appearance, and I don’t know which battle it was destroyed in——

Was it the battle between Flamemoth and the Sixth Herrscher a long time ago?

Is it the battle between Mikael and the Sixth Herrscher?

Or is it the battle between Mikael and the doppelgänger?

I can't remember for a long time.

Like a dying person covered in wounds, he has long been unable to tell which injury each of his wounds corresponds to.

I can’t remember clearly, and it’s unnecessary and meaningless to remember again.

Under Seele's gaze, Mikael caressed the remaining half of the broken wall.

The wall was mottled, and there were still black traces of flames burning at the base of the wall. Even though the wind had been blowing for so long, the blackness did not seem to diminish in the slightest.

"This is... ah, that's right, after all, the Sixth Herrscher is..."

Mikael groaned a few words in a low voice, but Xier tilted her head and didn't understand.

"Here...isn't this the department store in Brindi that we visited two days ago? At that time, brother Mikael, you were still on the bridge to tie a hairband and a hairpin for Sister Ellie...here... When did it become like this?"

Mikael stretched out his index finger and tapped her forehead lightly.

"There will be something strange about you soon."

With a slight sweep of half-closed eyes, Mikael chuckled, "Okay, here they are."

"Eh!"

Mikael held Xier's cheeks with both hands, and there was a trace of coolness where the palms touched. He gently pushed her head, and turned her head to look at the end of the street.

"That's not—Sister Ellie!"

Seele jumped twice and waved her hand.

Mikael had told her a long time ago that when she arrived at the place, Elder Sister Ellie would accompany her.

But obviously, Mikael didn't have time to tell "Alicia".

She came here full of joy, but when she saw Mikael, to be precise, the person standing beside Mikael, she was somewhat frightened.

"Hey! This...the first..."

She pointed at Seele and winked wildly at Mikael.

Seeing Ellie's expression, a moment of doubt flashed in Xi'er's eyes, but just for a moment, she walked to Ellie's side in two or three steps, and took the other's arm familiarly.

"Hello, Elder Sister Ellie, it's the first time we meet, my name is Xier."

"first meet……"

Mikael opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Seele in disbelief.

The latter returned a smile.

"Brother Mikael, Xier is not a fool!"

…………

"Hey, this is——Sister Mei, hello! It's the first time we meet, my name is Xier!"

Compared to Ellie who directly wrote the shock on her face, Mei's reaction was much calmer. After seeing Xi'er's appearance, she just slightly raised her eyebrows, Tong Kong was slightly shocked, The eyes refocused from the daze, and stayed on the pendant on Xier's chest. Then, she looked at Mikael hesitantly, waiting for his explanation quietly.

Mikael spread his hands, "May, I might bother you with one more thing..."

He was a little embarrassed, a little hesitant, and a little embarrassed. Looking at his tangled expression, the corners of Mei's lips curled up slightly, but unexpectedly Ellie also laughed at the same time.

"Okay, okay, I'll take Xi'er to find a room to live in first!"

She winked at Mikael, and Seele was also quite obedient, but followed her back three steps away.

"Has your original world gone through the fifth collapse?"

"Ah."

Mikael sat down on her workbench, skipping all kinds of complicated codes and unrecognizable formulas on the computer screen in front of him from time to time.

"This is the proper body of the Sixth Herrscher? How did you find it... No... She..."

Just from the expressions of the two, Mei became able to glimpse something called the truth.

"You don't want her to suffer the fate of becoming a Herrscher, so you brought her into the world bubble, trying to use this method to cut off her connection with the existence you call [Tree of Imaginary Numbers]?"

"Yes... sorry to trouble you."

Mikael bit his lip lightly, knowing that there was a tingling pain in his lower lip, and then a salty taste began to melt on the tip of his tongue.

"It's not troublesome. As I said, you keep our world alive, so we will naturally help you when you need it. Besides, it's also a kind of relaxation for Ellie and me—won't you bear it?" Let Xier be the same as us in the past year or so, living only with brain thinking? Although I don't mind that kind of life, I don't enjoy it. Besides, I also have some ideas to put into practice."

"That... of course. I will use all the power of the Second Herrscher at my disposal to strengthen the boundaries of the world bubble. It is not a problem to support the intrinsic world for about two years. The only thing to worry about is that such a Come on, except for the phase shuttle, it is almost impossible for me to use the power of space in battle, but this is not a big problem."
