Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

"Otto has handed over the command to me, so now I am in charge of the Valkyries in Siberia. Siegfried and the others will be here soon."

Lu Ren glanced at Cecilia and Shigure Qiluo, then walked to the holographic map and said.

"So, teacher, you are here to give orders." Cecilia smiled awkwardly.

She looked at Lu Ren's back and suddenly recalled the morning when she first met Lu Ren many years ago.

"Hello, Cecilia, I will be your teacher in the future." Lu Ren said to the young Cecilia.

"Teacher Lu, where are you from?" Cecilia asked curiously with her big blue eyes.

"Well...it came from a very far place." Lu Ren thought for a while and replied.

"Very far, how far is very far?"

"As far as a lifetime..."

Lu Ren was a little emotional when he said that, but Cecilia didn't know it at that time.

It wasn't until she saw this look again in the eyes of a person who had been displaced by the Honkai incident that she realized that Lu Ren was missing home.

Lu Ren did not teach any profound knowledge. Even though she was the saint of the Shaniyat family, her childhood seemed to be no different from that of other children.

What she saw most often was family members bowing to Lu Ren, even her parents were no exception.

Once, while swinging on the swing, she asked Lu Ren, "Teacher, why do people seem to respect you so much?"

"Who wouldn't be scared when seeing a monster that has lived for a long time?" Lu Ren answered nonchalantly.

"Monster, the teacher doesn't look like the monsters in fairy tales at all!" Cecilia looked at Lu Ren carefully and said.

Lu Ren stood up and caught a leaf that floated down. "Monster doesn't just refer to a person's horrible appearance. Sometimes it also refers to a person's behavior."

Shortly after asking this question, Lu Ren began to teach her some basic knowledge.

For example, why do birds fly, why does life sleep, what is heading towards death...

These things that sound confusing to other people are actually very interesting when told by Lu Ren.

Although it was a long time later that she realized that what Lu Ren had was not basic knowledge at all, but his personal stuff.

But she still misses that time very much.

Afterwards, she became a Valkyrie, and soon after, she was successfully promoted to A-level Valkyrie.

Lu Ren baked a cake for her that day. Judging from the design of the cake, Lu Ren must have been thinking about it for a long time.

However, Cecilia was a little frightened by the colorful colors, because she always felt that the taste of the cake might not be very good.

She tried a small bite and the rich creamy flavor spread in her mouth. It was not as unpalatable as she had expected.

"Why, do you think it might taste bad?" Lu Ren accurately guessed what she was thinking.

"No, no, how can the cake made by the teacher be so unpalatable?"

"That's fine. You definitely can't finish it by yourself, so why not share it with others?" Lu Ren suggested.

"Teacher, how do you know I'm thinking about this?" Cecilia thought of Theresa, so she planned to pull Theresa over in a while.

After that incident, she went on a mission to escort new weapons to the second laboratory with Cheng Lixue and Patrick, with whom she was not familiar at the time.

At that time, she was not thinking too much about this, but was thinking about arriving at the second laboratory and meeting Lu Ren there.

Afterwards, they were attacked by a brown-haired man. After a fight, she was knocked out and was caught and saved by Siegfried.

This created a bond between her and Siegfried.

She vaguely remembered that Siegfried gave her a bowl of extremely sour fish soup, which tasted like the most hellish food she had ever tasted in her life.

It's hard to imagine how Siegfried managed to survive all by himself.

Along the way, she saw many things that Lu Ren had told her before. She then remembered Lu Ren, the pigeon king, who had promised to take her to travel to South America, but had not yet done so.

As time went by, she gradually fell in love with this 19-year-old boy, even though he looked no older than years old.

On the night they parted, the sky was dotted with sparse stars, and she wanted to give Siegfried an Alahato figurine.

So she ran to the game room, where she unexpectedly saw Lu Ren, who was leaning against the wall and handed the figure to her.

"Go ahead and don't leave any regrets."

Lu Ren said this calmly, but the memories that flashed through his eyes betrayed him.

Cecilia thought that Lu Ren must have the ability to read minds, which is why he was able to prepare the figures in advance.

She happily took the figurine back to the cinema, but when she got there, she found that Siegfried was pinned to the ground by some kind of ability used by the man who had attacked her before.

She rushed over, "Siegfried, are you okay?"

The man looked at Cecilia in surprise, and then a voice came from his headphones, "I'm behind you!"

He looked back and saw Lu Ren holding the unconscious Einstein in one hand and holding headphones in the other.

"At this time, we should not disturb the agreement between young lovers, don't you think, Joachim Nokian Virtanen?"

When this difficult-to-pronounce name came out, Walter Yang's pupils shrank slightly. He looked at Cecilia hesitantly, and finally released his restraint on Siegfried.

"I, I'm fine..." Siegfried stood up with difficulty, looking at Walter Yang and Lu Ren, while protecting Cecilia behind him.

"Cecilia, let me tell you, that black-haired guy always catches me when I try to sneak out of the headquarters. If we want to sneak out in the future, we must do it when he is not at the Tianming headquarters."

Cecilia didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. She pulled the corner of Siegfried's clothes and said, "He is my teacher."

"What, cough cough cough, I didn't say anything just now, Cecilia, you probably didn't hear it." Siegfried coughed a few times.

"I heard it. Do you want me to tell Otto about your sneaking out?"

"Please don't, I didn't say anything just now!" Siegfried said.

"Okay, the movie is about to start in ten minutes, don't you want to go in?" Lu Ren said after looking at the time.

"Hey, let's go in quickly. This place is left to the seniors." Siegfried pulled Cecilia into the cinema.

Walter Yang looked at Lu Ren with a complicated expression, "Can you give Aiyin to me now?"

"Oh, sorry, you didn't say anything. No wonder Siegfried looked at me strangely just now."

Walter Young held the unconscious Einstein and planned to leave.

"This is for you. Consider it an apology to her for helping me hold the figurine and for me knocking her out." Lu Ren threw a test tube to Walter Yang.

"It contains a sample of Cecilia's blood."

Walter Yang didn't quite understand what kind of medicine Lu Ren was selling. He took the test tube and left in a hurry.

"These days, students can be kidnapped if they are not careful." Lu Ren said through the glass as he glanced at Cecilia who was checking her tickets for entry.

The latter was looking at him at this moment, and Siegfried beside him was also looking at him.
