Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

World bubble.

"They've already left."

Kallen reported to the man in front of her.

"..."

Kallen originally thought that the man would be very angry, but he acted very calmly and didn't even take the matter seriously.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you're fine."

The man smiled harmlessly and told Karin to go back and rest. Although Karin felt confused, she still did as he asked.

After Kallen left, the blond man looked at Kallen's physical report in his hand again and muttered to himself.

"Originally, A-872 had to suck Kallen's blood every once in a while to keep her alive, but now it's completely unnecessary. According to Kallen's report, that person has the Key of Corrosion, but that weapon has always been at the Sentient Headquarters, and I'm even in charge of it myself..."

"But Destiny has never been able to fully control the power of the Key of Corrosion, and no one can use it completely, so I have only been able to inject some of its energy into A-872 to revive Kallen. But now Kallen's body is very stable. Did you do this..."

Then he shook his head again and looked out the window.

"If you can keep Kallen safe, then there is no point in having it. In that case, why not give A-872 to you?"

......

"Lady Kallen."

Jizi came to Kallen with an anxious look on her face and asked worriedly.

"Are you okay?"

"Well, don't worry, Himeko, I'm fine."

Kallen shook her head slightly and then talked about what happened just now.

"The bishop doesn't seem to care about this matter. Jiang Ming and his companions have disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. We can't find them anywhere."

"But it's good like this."

Kallen looked toward the horizon and smiled with satisfaction.

"At least she has left this cage and can accompany Jiang Ming to see the wider world."

"But...speaking of this..."

Kallen looked back at Himeko.

"Jizi, is there anything wrong with your body? You should have had a physical examination, right?"

After all, Ji Zi also accepted the experiment of gaining power at the cost of losing life.

"Eh?"

Ji Zi was stunned for a moment, then recalled her physical report and said with a thoughtful look.

"It's strange. Obviously, my life span should be very short after undergoing that kind of experiment. I should only live to 30 years old. But the physical report just now showed that my body is more normal than that of normal people. It's really strange. Obviously, I only drank with Jiang Ming once."

Ji Zi gave a wry smile after saying this. In fact, she knew in her heart that this must have been done by Jiang Ming. As for how he did it, that was no longer important.

......

'System, start transmitting.'

Jiang Ming held Yuexia's hand tightly and muttered to himself.

[Ding! Transmission begins]

As the system's voice sounded, Jiang Ming and the other person were wrapped in a white light. The next second, they arrived at Jiang Ming's room.

“Ah——I’m so tired~!”

Jiang Ming, who had just returned to the room, lay down on the bed like Kiana who had finally finished the class, his body stretched out in a big letter "X". A familiar fragrance came to his nose - hmm... it was Mei's scent.

Yuexia sat on the chair in front of Jiang Ming's desk and observed the surrounding environment.

"Not used to it?"

Seeing Yuexia's helpless and uneasy look, Jiang Ming asked softly.

But it was true that he hadn't explained it clearly to her yet. After all, they were on the rooftop just now, and now they were in an unfamiliar room. What's more, his closest sister was not here.

"In short, this is another world. It has many similarities with the previous world, but also many differences. Here, you don't have to be afraid anymore. You will make many friends, and I will always be by your side."

Jiang Ming looked at Yuexia with a determined gaze, his tone gentle but unyielding.

"You are no longer a scary vampire, nor a puppet at the mercy of others. You are you, and you only need to do what you want to do."

Compared to vampires, Herrscher is much scarier than this...

"Well, I see."

Yuexia nodded obediently.

"Okay, let's talk about another thing, which is...about your name."

"my name?"

The moon blinked her eyes and tilted her head very cutely.

"Correct."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

"Your sister named you Theresa, right? Unfortunately, we also have a girl named Theresa, so to avoid such problems, I have to give you a new name."

"Are you willing? If you don't want to, I won't force you. Anyway, you can tell who is who from their clothes and behavior."

After asking this question, Jiang Ming waited for Yuexia's answer. After a brief thought, Yuexia spoke.

"Well, it's okay. I know it might be a little troublesome to use the name my sister gave me. In that case, human brother, you can help me choose one. But speaking of names, didn't you give me the name Jiang Yue before?"

After saying that, Yuexia looked at Jiang Ming with some anticipation.

"Well, the name was just picked out of necessity, it has no real meaning,"

Jiang Ming lowered his head and thought.

"Actually, regarding your name... there is a name that many people agree with, called: [Moonlight]"

"Under the moon...."

The girl subconsciously uttered the word - her own name.

"Ah, come to think of it, we met under the moonlight as well."

As if to dispel the embarrassment in his heart, Jiang Ming said casually, and then looked carefully into the eyes under the moon.

"How about...? This name."

"Well, Yuexia...I like this name."

When she said her name again, her originally fair cheeks became slightly rosy, and the corners of her mouth raised in satisfaction under the moonlight.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about our world."

Afterwards, Jiang Ming told Yuexia about his friends, teachers and lover here.

"spouse?"

When Yuexia heard these two words, her eyes widened immediately, her breathing became a little difficult and rapid, and there was a hint of astonishment, helplessness and a little... anger in her ruby-like eyes, but she hid it very well, and even Jiang Ming didn't notice it. He smiled unconsciously, looked up at the ceiling and spoke to himself.

"Yes, until now I still find it hard to imagine that I am actually with her, the lover I have been thinking about day and night, gentle, generous, with long hair, and more importantly, she only has eyes for me."

Jiang Ming turned his gaze back to Yuexia.

"But compared to that, it's better to say... I'm lucky to be able to come to this world, Yuexia. As I said before, since I came to this world, I have to do what I should do. Saving you and saving everyone is what I have to do. This is also the meaning of my life. Do you understand, Yuexia?"

Jiang Ming looked at Yuexia with hope, hoping to get her approval.

"So... human brother, you... don't like me?"

Under the moonlight, she bit her thin lips with silver teeth, her eyebrows slightly bent, her eyes widened, and she kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her bare hands, looking at Jiang Ming with some grievance.

"how come."

Jiang Ming didn't seem to expect Yuexia to say that. He gently placed his hands on Yuexia's shoulders and denied it. "It's because I like you that I will help you and save you from the cage of fate, but Yuexia, you have to know——"

Jiang Ming's expression turned serious.

"I help people not because I want to get something, but because since I came to this world, I have to do something. Many people are like me. Otherwise, my life is no different from being dead."

"Do you understand?"

"..."

Yuexia was silent for a long time, then nodded obediently, but both his expression and mood seemed a little depressed.

"Well, I understand. Yuexia knows that this hard-earned life is brought to me by you, a human being, so I won't cause you any trouble..."

"That's not the case..."

Seeing Yuexia looking bullied, Jiang Ming was suddenly speechless. He scratched his head helplessly. Finally, he could only pick her up, sit between his legs, and gently touch her head to comfort her.

"In short, I don't hate you. You and everyone else are my family, and I will protect you no matter what. I promise you that you will not be excluded here. If someone wants to capture you, I will protect you at the cost of my life. After all, this is my responsibility here."

After a long time, she leaned in Jiang Ming's arms under the moon, feeling relieved.

"......Um."

Jiang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but when he thought about letting Yuexia leave his sister and suddenly come to this world, it was indeed out of his own selfish motives, so he asked tentatively.

"...Would it make you a little unhappy to separate you from your sister?"

"Mmmmm~"

A negative sound came from Yuexia's throat.

"I am very happy to be with you, a human. I know that if I stay there all the time, it will bring more disasters and cause trouble for my sister."

"Sister, you didn't treat me as a puppet tool, and you treated me as a real human being. If I continue to live as I am now and live a better life, it can prove that you and sister are right."

"If that were the case, my sister would definitely be very happy if she knew."

Yuexia's voice became more and more choked, and finally she couldn't help crying out loud, and sad tears kept flowing from her eyes.

"..."

"Still can't let it go......"

Jiang Ming sighed and hugged Yuexia tightly in his arms. Now it seemed that this was the only way he could comfort her.
