Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

"Hey, where are Zhongli and the others?"

"That's what you experienced in the future. It has nothing to do with you now," the system complained.

"I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere." Lu Ren scratched his head and said.

"My assessment is that it's better than biting a lighter."

"Okay, now that I've finished telling this story, I'd better leave quickly." Getting back to the point, Lu Ren felt that he had almost fooled people, and if he continued, he would run out of tricks.

"Sister Li, that person has left. Should we chase him?" The photographer glanced at Lu Ren and touched Li Na's arm.

"Anything else you can ask? The news just now is already very good. Go back and work overtime overnight to write the news tomorrow." Li Na ordered.

"Okay, okay." The cameraman carried the camera and followed Li Na away.

As for the onlookers, the story Lu Ren just made up was so bizarre that almost everyone present believed it. They really believed that there was a bounty hunter's treasure buried in an unknown corner, waiting to be discovered.

It turns out that there are people who are talented in deceiving others, and Lu Ren is one of the best.

…………

"Huh, there's really no one around now." Lu Ren said, looking at the primeval forest.

"Yeah, it feels really good to live in the mountains." The system said unhappily.

"Don't be funny, I didn't say I wanted to live in the mountains." As Lu Ren just finished saying this, he suddenly remembered that he had another goal.

He came to Shenzhou with only two goals. The first was to find the source behind this series of Honkai energy events, and the third was to find the treasure that Lu Ren had buried in the past.

Lu Ren: Author, you are a math genius. One is followed by two, so there is no way three can come after that.

Yu Piaoxueluo: Just tell me whether they are two targets.

Lu Ren: ...I think I have used this before.

Just then, a loud thunder sounded in the sky, startling Lu Ren.

"Why is there thunder? I'm still under the tree. Let's go quickly."

"No, host, are you still afraid of lightning? You can just touch the power switch now and nothing will happen." The system said with contempt when it saw Lu Ren was about to leave in a hurry.

"Hehe, it doesn't feel good to be hit by a bolt of lightning, does it?" Lu Ren's reasons were quite sufficient, and the fact was exactly as he said. He just had a strong self-healing ability, but he couldn't block out the pain.

So it would still hurt if he broke his leg, but of course it was almost impossible for Lu Ren to break his leg.

A bolt of lightning exploded beside Lu Ren, and the powerful thunder turned the ground into a charred black.

"This is a bomb." Lu Ren complained about the power of lightning, "I have to find a place to avoid lightning."

"There is a dilapidated house not far from the host. How about you go there?"

"There are houses here. Who lived here before?" It took Lu Ren several hours to walk here. It was hard to imagine that there were people living here before.

"Looking at the structure of the house, it's probably an ancient building." The system described, "It's a traditional Shenzhou architectural style with some novel changes, but it's so dilapidated that it's hard to tell what it's built for."

Ten minutes later Lu Ren arrived in front of the house. He looked up at the eaves and saw that there was a place that was darker in color than the rest. It seemed that a plaque had been hung there before.

When you walk into the house, you see an empty slate floor. Years of erosion by wind and rain have made the slate bumpy, and there are even three or four holes in the roof.

"Why is there such a large space indoors?" Lu Ren couldn't help but think about the incongruous parts of the house.

Lu Ren looked deeper, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything.

"Then let's use the Honkai energy to sense it." Lu Ren began to use the omnipotent Honkai energy.

"The purpose of Honkai energy has been made clear to you." said the system.

Lu Ren found a clean place to sit down, then he closed his eyes.

Outside the house, thunder was rumbling and inky black clouds were rolling in the sky, making it look like a storm was about to come.

Soon after, Lu Ren opened his eyes. "There is actually a door inside. What is behind this door?"

His eyes looked into the depths, at the end of which was a stone door.

"Host, can't you see what's inside?" asked the system.

"No matter how powerful I am, my consciousness cannot penetrate the thick stone door and see what's inside."

"That seems to be the case. Host, are you going to check out the stone gate next?"

"Of course, such strange things make people more curious, don't they?" Lu Ren stood up, patted his clothes, and walked towards the depths.

After seeing the stone gate, a sentence suddenly came to Lu Ren’s mind: "This is all the choice of Steins;Gate."

Lu Ren originally thought that the stone door was sealed, but when he actually pushed it, he found that the stone door could be pushed open easily.

Inside the stone gate is a secret room, inside which is a stone bed with a person lying on it.

"Is this Sleeping Beauty?" Lu Ren leaned over and muttered, "This seems to be... Qin Suyi?"

Lu Ren took a few steps back, then he rushed forward again because he suspected he had seen it wrong.

But when he saw Qin Suyi's face, the last bit of hope in his heart disappeared. She was Qin Suyi, the seventh disciple of Taixu.

The Qin Suyi in front of him was young and looked no different from the Qin Suyi Lu Ren had seen in that world.

"Tongzi, can you explain what's going on?" Lu Ren couldn't figure out why Qin Suyi appeared here.

"Ahem, host, you have to know that the unsolved mysteries of the world are endless."

"Tongzi, if you don't know the reason, just tell it honestly. Why do you have to cover it up with something that sounds confusing?"

"As expected of the host, you understood the hidden meaning of my words right away."

"Do I need to understand the meaning of your words? What else can you say besides this?" Lu Ren said with an expression as if he already knew it.

Lu Ren, who was arguing with the system, did not notice that Qin Suyi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Uh, host, why don't you go and check on Qin Suyi? She seems to have woken up." The system noticed that Qin Suyi had woken up and spoke to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren looked at Qin Suyi, who had opened her eyes and sat up. Qin Suyi looked at Lu Ren with a blank look.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Lu Ren stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Qin Suyi's eyes. "Are you stupid? You don't even react like this?"

"Teacher...master?"

"Um, ah, what did you say?"
