Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

"Uh, sorry, Master." Qin Suyi burped and looked at the empty plate, her tone full of apology.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a matter of serving a few more dishes." Lu Ren put down his chopsticks, still with a smile on his face.

"He is so gentle. I cried to death." The system said in an exaggerated tone.

After the system said this, many images suddenly emerged in Lu Ren’s mind.

But now he felt a little dizzy. He tried to sober himself up by standing up, but under Qin Suyi's surprised gaze, Lu Ren still fell headfirst onto the table and fainted.

The table made a dull sound, and at the same time, you could see the table next to it shaking for a while, and the things on it tilted slightly.

"Oh my god, have you got hypoglycemia from being hungry for too long?" the system muttered.

...............

"We lost, didn't we?"

"..."

"I'm not a hero. I'm just pushed to the forefront by the times. I don't want to let anyone down..."

Lu Ren heard these strange voices, most of the words spoken by these voices were vague and Lu Ren found it difficult to understand their meaning.

He now felt like he was falling into a bottomless abyss, and he was unable to react.

Lu Ren did not feel any panic in his heart at this moment, because he was in a feeling that was difficult to express in words, and his limbs were filled with an inexplicable warmth.

After falling into the abyss for an unknown amount of time, Lu Ren suddenly saw a dazzling white light. The white light was not dazzling, but instead gave people a sense of quietness and peace. Not only that, there was also a blurry human figure in the white light.

Lu Ren opened his eyes wide, trying to see the figure in the white light clearly, but the white light directly covered his vision, and then he lost consciousness.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but in a thatched hut, Lu Ren opened his eyes.

He first looked around blankly. Everything around was in a daze. Even the roof of the thatched hut had a huge hole, and the wind blew in making a whistling sound.

It was obvious that no information could be obtained here. Lu Ren staggered to his feet, pushed open the door that felt like it would fall apart if he moved, and walked out.

It was foggy outside and nothing could be seen clearly, but Lu Ren heard the sound of flowing water, which showed that he should be near the water source.

Lu Ren tried to mobilize his Herrscher Core, but it didn't respond at all, as if Lu Ren hadn't charged any money (doge).

Lu Ren frowned. He vaguely felt that things were becoming complicated. Fortunately, the Taixu sword energy could still be used, so his combat effectiveness would not drop to single digits all of a sudden.

"Speaking of which, the Taixu sword energy I practiced back then has actually become a skill that I can still use. Isn't this what it means to have more skills than less?" Lu Ren still said this in a humorous tone.

New things always arouse people's curiosity, and Lu Ren is no exception. When he arrives in an unfamiliar place, the first thing he thinks about is whether there is anything nearby that he has not seen, rather than thinking about whether there is any danger nearby.

Staying in the same place all the time is not a solution. Lu Ren couldn't see the direction clearly in the fog, so he just walked in one direction based on his feeling.

Sometimes when the human body's vision is not useful, hearing will be amplified several times.

Lu Ren clearly heard the sound of footsteps in the fog, but the footsteps were at a certain distance from him, because whenever he wanted to get closer, the footsteps would move very quickly and keep a certain distance from Lu Ren.

Lu Ren tried it three or four times and it was the same every time. He couldn't help but complain: "What kind of shoes are you wearing? You run so fast."

However, this episode did not stop Lu Ren from moving forward. He let the footsteps make noise. Anyway, it didn't seem to pose any threat to Lu Ren.

I don’t know how much time has passed, and Lu Ren began to suspect that he didn’t walk very far at all, but instead went back to the beginning.

The footsteps seemed to be stepping on Lu Ren's heart. He gave up and sat down under a tree. Looking at the fog around him, he suddenly missed the system. At least it would chat with him.

However, Lu Ren gradually calmed down and began to think about his current situation.

After some brainstorming, Lu Ren realized that his previous method was wrong and he should not continue on this path. What he should do is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

Therefore, he stopped moving and waited quietly for changes in the surroundings.

I don’t know how much time has passed. Lu Ren subjectively feels that four or five hours have passed, but objectively only a dozen seconds have passed.

The change he had been waiting for finally occurred. The fog around him began to thin, and he could see the nearby scenery clearly.

But what surprised him was that there was not a forest around him, but a small town.

Could it be that he was affected by something just now? Lu Ren looked around in confusion.

Not far away he saw a Honkai beast. It had a terrifying appearance, like a bug but not a bug. The holes on its back were emitting the same mist that Lu Ren had just seen.

It looks disgusting and has no aesthetic appeal.

It turned out that the real murderer was here. Lu Ren approached it, picked up a water pipe on the ground, and killed it with one blow.

It seems that its defense is not very high, otherwise this ordinary water pipe would definitely not be able to cause such fatal damage to it.

As the Honkai Beast died, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated. Lu Ren found himself in a strange city, with empty streets and dilapidated buildings.

He looked around cautiously, his mind full of questions. Where on earth was this? Why did he come here?

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, making Lu Ren shiver. He decided to look for some clues to figure out his situation.

Walking along the street, Lu Ren came to a school. The school gate was closed, but he saw through the window that there seemed to be movement inside. Just as he was about to go forward to check, a figure rushed from behind.

"Shh, don't move!" The figure put the knife against Lu Ren's neck and covered his mouth.

After realizing that the person behind him had no hostility, Lu Ren obediently listened to her.

If the cold blade was against the neck of an ordinary person, he would already be trembling with fear.

But unfortunately, it was Lu Ren who was blocked. Apart from feeling that the knife was a little sharp, he didn't feel anything else.

Just now, Lu Ren knew that the person behind him was a woman just by the voice. The woman's voice sounded a little familiar to Lu Ren, but without seeing her face, Lu Ren was not sure who she was.

"Follow me!" the woman whispered in his ear.

Lu Ren nodded with his mouth closed, indicating that he would listen to the woman completely.

The woman let go of Lu Ren, who took a deep breath. He had never felt that freedom was so important.

He turned around and saw a woman with long black hair and blue eyes standing in front of him.

Her delicate oval face exudes a unique charm and heroism.

Her eyebrows were like two crescent moons, slightly raised, revealing determination and courage.

Her eyes are like deep lakes, bright and lively.

Her hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin, adding a touch of softness and charm.

Overall, she is not only beautiful, but also exudes an awe-inspiring aura and can be described as heroic.

Honestly, this is something you never get tired of watching.

"Have you seen enough?" The woman looked at Lu Rendao closely, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

It seemed like she was caught by the real culprit, but there was no anger in her tone, as if she had expected Lu Ren to be fascinated.

Lu Ren scratched his head embarrassedly. It was difficult for him not to focus his eyes on the woman in front of him.

"I'm sorry. I'll try not to look at you as much as possible."

The woman looked at Lu Ren in surprise, and then said, "You are quite honest. I have a piece of advice for you. In the end times, throw away this kind of honesty."

"The end of the world?" Lu Ren looked around and indeed felt a sense of desolation.

"Can you tell me what has happened to the world?"

The woman looked at Lu Ren as if he were an idiot. "Why did you ask Jiu Xiao the same question? What's wrong with this world? Did you just come out of the mountains?"

"Jiuxiao? Hiss, I seem to have heard of someone with this name somewhere." Lu Ren said after thinking for a while.

Do you know Jiuxiao? Forget it, this place is not safe, just come with me to the meeting point first. "

The woman looked around and said to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren had no objection. In an unfamiliar environment and among people, it would be easier to get information and know what was happening in the world.
