Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

“What should I do next…” Lu Ren was speechless and didn’t know how to answer. He actually didn’t have any mature plan, but planned to take it one step at a time.

But how could he have the nerve to say such things? Wouldn't it make Lu Ren seem very foolish, with only a reckless vigor in his whole body.

Fu Hua looked at Lu Ren who was hesitating and unable to speak, and couldn't help but said, "You don't have any plans in your mind at all."

After Fu Hua pointed out Lu Ren's embarrassment so sharply, the latter had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Squad leader, I really haven't thought it through."

Fortunately, Fu Hua was mentally prepared, so she was not surprised. She then asked, "Then where are you going, Lu Ren?"

Lu Ren really didn't expect Fu Hua to be so patient. After all, if you ask him what the strongest smell on his body is right now, it must be the smell of Honkai energy, so strong that he has to leave here.

Fu Hua did not treat him as an enemy and fight him, but instead helped him perfect his plan to leave. She is such a nice person.

"I think we should go to some more remote places, otherwise the collapse will hurt many people." Lu Ren stretched out his hand and stared at his palm absentmindedly.

At that moment, he was like a boy lost in the fog, his heart full of confusion about the long journey, like a ship that had lost its direction, drifting on the vast ocean.

Fu Hua had never seen Lu Ren so dejected. His long, purple-white hair was no longer flying wildly in the air like it did before, but hung gently behind Lu Ren like a withered plant.

"Host, don't be so discouraged. You have dealt with so many strange things before. Why are you still afraid of this?" The system finally spoke at this time.

"I'm just worried that I won't be able to control the Honkai energy in my body and hurt other people." Lu Ren didn't argue with the system.

"...Host, this is just an accident and it will be over soon." The system comforted him.

"It's rare, Tongzi, that you come to comfort me." Lu Ren smiled and then said, "Tongzi, how do you feel when you see fireflies while walking on the road at night?"

The system considered for a moment, "Well, I guess I should thank them for staying with me, because they illuminate my way forward and fill me with hope. In fact, the moon works better in this kind of weather."

Lu Ren said: "Tongzi, you are right. I thought you would say something nonsensical."

The system sighed when it heard this. The words it said were not original to it, but were something Lu Ren had said to someone else in the past. It just slightly modified them and used them.

"So, leaving is an inevitable option, just like youth is just a one-way ticket on a train, but we can choose to enjoy the scenery along the way." Lu Ren said with a smile, as if he had found some courage and determination, "Sooner or later we will leave the fireflies and lose their company."

After all, he is not suitable for having a sad face. A smile can stay on his face longer than sadness.

"I always feel something is strange. Host, you seem to have something else to say."

He ignored the system and looked up at Fu Hua with a firm look in his eyes.

"I will find a way to control the Houkai energy in my body, and then come back."

Fu Hua looked at Lu Ren with mixed feelings in her heart. The only words that came to her lips were "be careful on your journey, we will wait for you to come back".

She didn't need to ask Lu Ren about his plan anymore. Lu Ren had already given the answer just now. The firm look in his red-purple pupils represented his determination.

With this belief, Lu Ren turned around and embarked on his journey towards the unknown distance.

"I will delete their previous memories, so that they will forget what I look like. When they wake up, they will say that they fainted because they ate the food I cooked and it tasted so bad."

Fu Hua recalled the last words Lu Ren said before he left. Then she looked at the mosaic food that Lu Ren put in the pot and felt that she would indeed faint after eating such food.

But it still needs to be made up in a more detailed way. Lu Ren only needs to provide the food for the defense, while Fu Hua has to consider many situations when trying to cover up this lie.

"So I came here with determination and courage? In a rented house?" Lu Ren asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What happened to Tongzi later?"

"You walked out of the door a few steps, and your steps became light and fluttery. I thought you were going to take off, but you fell to the ground unconscious without a sound. Then you were brought here by someone in a car parked on the side of the road."

The system's words made Lu Ren's heart tighten. Oh my god, could he have already arrived in northern Myanmar? Was the Kidney Adventure about to happen?

"Are there any obvious signs of this group of people?" Lu Ren had no clues and could only ask Tongzi for more specific details.

The system said: "If there is, I will definitely tell you, but if there is no, there is no. I can't make it up. Host, you should rely on yourself instead of others. Go downstairs and see if there are any clues."

The system is frank and direct, without any beating around the bush or hiding anything, it just says what it wants to say.

"Well, it seems I have to open this iron door first..." After listening to what the system said, Lu Ren subconsciously touched behind him, but he did not touch the long hair falling like a waterfall. Whether this means that Lu Ren has suppressed the Honkai energy is still unknown.

Lu Ren approached the iron gate, and the collapsed energy on his body gushed out, wrapping his palm. Then Lu Ren threw a punch with a force as powerful as a tidal wave. If it was a more solid object, I believe Lu Ren could also penetrate it.

The fist collided with the iron door, and with a loud "bang", the iron door was intact.

Lu Ren felt a frown on his head. He didn't expect that this iron gate would not give him any face at all.

"...It seems that the Honkai energy in my body is just for show and can only scare others." Lu Ren looked at the heavy iron door helplessly.

"Indeed, just like after a night of crazy fun, you will feel tired the next morning no matter what. Host, you must be in the same situation."

"But after a few nights of crazy play, it seems to have been drained dry. Now I have to find a way to restore it?" Lu Ren said helplessly, holding his forehead.

The system responded: "Come on, host, you may recover faster if you transform back into the Herrscher of Consciousness."

Lu Ren was puzzled, "What's your principle?"

“I can’t say it’s a principle, but the attraction of Herrscher to Houkai energy is definitely greater than yours not mobilizing the Herrscher core.”

Lu Ren said: "Tongzi, you are slandering me in a roundabout way again."

The system immediately retorted: "No way, if you were like you were possessed before, doing nothing, your attraction to Honkai energy would be comparable to that of the ** cup!"

Lu Ren scratched his head and said, "Why did I hear that the last two words of your sentence were muted? Don't use weird embellishments if there's nothing wrong."

"Oh, what do you care? You said my kind explanation was ruthless."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop making such a fuss. Where did I say such a thing? Besides, I understand what you mean. You want me to try to mobilize the Herrscher Core to speed up the absorption of the surrounding Honkai energy." Lu Ren sighed.

He hesitated for a moment, but there was no need to hesitate. In this unfamiliar environment, only strength can allow for mistakes.

I just felt that I was thinking about suppressing before, and then I thought about taking advantage of it. This was the first time that he understood so thoroughly the philosophy taught by his teacher in high school.
