Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

The journey was very boring. Although Lu Ren wanted to ask more questions, he felt that it was not a good idea to see her rushing along with her head down.

Besides, I'm not that familiar with her yet. If I rashly ask more questions, it might arouse her vigilance and have the opposite effect to what I want.

"Ah, I just took the time to eat and I'm here again. How come I travel through time more frequently than when I had the green turtle?"

Lu Ren was complaining in his heart and didn't notice that the woman in front of him suddenly stopped.

At that instant, he hit the woman's back.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Lu Ren clasped his hands together, bowed to the woman and apologized sincerely.

The woman looked quite speechless. "It's okay. I'm really curious about how you managed to survive in such an environment."

Lu Ren smiled awkwardly, scratched his hair and said nothing.

After that, the two continued on their journey and soon arrived at a shopping mall. The woman took Lu Ren in through the back door.

When Lu Ren was wondering why he didn't enter through the front door, he caught a glimpse of more than thirty Honkai creatures in the hall.

This is not surprising, this is not surprising.

The woman then took Lu Ren to the entrance of the escape staircase. She looked around before opening the door and walking in.

Lu Ren followed her, and the woman walked until she reached a restaurant on the second floor before stopping.

Lu Ren looked at the restaurant and found that it was different from the shops he passed by, with obvious signs of human cleaning.

Just as Lu Ren was thinking, a short woman with silver hair and silver eyes came out of the hotel.

"Well, Xier, you're back. Have you detected anything unusual nearby?" asked the silver-haired woman.

"Uh, no, but I found a kid who lost his memory." Xier looked at Lu Ren who was in a daze beside her and shook her head.

"He is a really generous person, almost as generous as Jiu Xiao."

"What, who is talking about me?" A woman with purple hair, red eyes, a half ponytail and a coat walked out of the hotel dissatisfiedly.

"...What kind of plot is this? Why haven't I seen it before?" Lu Ren frowned and secretly glanced at the three people in front of him.

"Bronya, Seele, who is this purple-haired person?"

"Hey, stop daydreaming. What's your name?" The woman called Jiuxiao walked up to Lu Ren and patted him on the shoulder.

"Uh, Lu Ren..."

"My name is Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, this heroic-looking woman is Xi'er Fule'ai, and the woman over there whose face looks frozen is Bronya Zaychek."

"..." Bronya really wanted to say that it was a stereotype of her, but seeing that Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple was talking so excitedly, she finally did not disturb her, but started a conversation with Seele beside her.

When Lu Ren heard the woman in front of him was called Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, his brain was suddenly hit hard and he suddenly understood where he was.

"No, why am I in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd? But this timeline is not right. When did Seele become so big?"

The doubts in Lu Ren's mind did not diminish, but instead increased as time went by.

"I know you are scared now, but it doesn't matter. We are from the Fire Moth Resistance. You are safe now. When our mission is over, you can go with us to our base in Changkong City."

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple mistook Lu Ren's distraction as being caused by excessive fright, and was trying to comfort Lu Ren, which made the latter feel helpless.

Not far away, Bronya heard Seele's words and thought: "There are no Honkai creatures around? How is that possible? No one has ever cleaned up this place, where would they go?"

"There are only a few kittens left on the street. I guess the person who took the Honkai creature away didn't like them." Xier continued.

"We still have some Honkai creatures here. The mastermind behind this will probably take them away."

Bronya took a look at the Honkai creatures wandering in the hall. They were all very powerful, so Bronya did not clean them up. Unexpectedly, they would come in handy now.

"Then let's arrange someone to watch them at night. If there is any unusual movement, we will follow them and see where they go." Xier said.

Bronya smiled and nodded, "Good idea, Seele is really smart."

"No way, Sister Bronya, you could have thought of that too, but I just said it first." Seele touched her nose, a blush spread across her face.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The voice of Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple came from behind.

"Oh, nothing, nothing!" Xier's face changed in a second, turned around and waved her hand.

Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple smiled and looked at Bronya.

"We just..." Bronya and Houraiji Jiuxiao talked about their plans just now.

After listening to this, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's eyes turned and said, "Then I will keep watch tonight!"

"Okay, then in this case, I'll be on guard tomorrow night, and you, Seele, will be on guard the day after tomorrow, and so on after that." Bronya looked at Seele, wanting to ask for her opinion.

Xi'er shook her head. "I have no objection."

Seeing that the arrangements had been made, Bronya breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, where is that kid Lu Ren?" Xier looked around and didn't see any Lu Ren, so she asked.

"Oh, Lu Ren is in the hotel." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao pointed inside the hotel and said, "He is similar to me. I guess he can't remember anything except his name. His eyes are as clear and stupid as a college student."

"So, I'm really curious about how people like you survived." Xier complained.

"Of course it was you, Xier, who saved us." Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple said with a smile.

Xier was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, she found that it was true. It was she who saved Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple on the train, and now she brought Lu Ren back from the street. It seems that she and the amnesiac are destined to be together.

"Tsk." Xier turned her head away, and her look made people think of a child who was sulking because he lost an argument.

"Okay, okay, Xier, you've been running around outside all day, go and have a rest."

Bronya then came forward and said that Seele would still listen to Bronya, but she had to vent her anger.

She pretended to go into the hotel and walked to Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, then hit Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's arm with an elbow, and then ran into the hotel quickly.

“Don’t run!” Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple immediately chased in, causing Bronya on the side to shake her head.

…………

It was late at night, and the moon and stars were embedded in the dark curtain. The stars were like the eyes of space, watching the vicissitudes of life on Earth mercilessly.

A beam of moonlight shone into the mall through the skylight, making it not so dark inside that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple sat in the corridor bored, "I underestimated how boring this job is. I even remember the appearance of the Honkai creatures below..."

She looked up at the bright and white moon, and couldn't help feeling that the passage of time was so rapid and silent.

A few months ago, she was helpless, but now she has joined the Fire Moth resistance and is going out on missions with her acquaintances.

She just stared at the moon and said calmly, "Why aren't you sleeping so late? Are you suffering from insomnia too?"

It turned out that she had just discovered someone watching her not far away.

Lu Ren walked to the side of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, sat down and said, "I don't know anything about this world, it's normal that I can't sleep."

After hearing this, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple smiled and said, "I used to have the same troubles as you, but I figured it out later."

Lu Ren glanced at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, his eyes full of confusion.

"I woke up on a train to the shelter in Changkong City. At that time, I only had a name left, and I didn't remember anything else..."

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple told her story leisurely, as if she wanted to enlighten Lu Ren.

But Lu Ren didn't lose his memory. He just felt anxious because he came to this unfamiliar world and had no idea about it.

What worried him most was the lack of intelligence.

"After being rescued by Seele, she took me to the Fire Moth Resistance Base in Changkong City and told me that it has been five years since the advent of the Honkai."

"Collapse is coming?" Lu Ren heard a familiar term. Could it be that everything in this doomsday was caused by the Herrscher?

"Yes, there have been Honkai attacks in the past. Every time Honkai attacks, a powerful Herrscher is born. This time, a Herrscher of the End is born."

Lu Ren's head suddenly started buzzing, as if someone was pressing it roughly against the wall.

"The Herrscher of the End has been born? This world hasn't been destroyed yet. What kind of storyline is this?"

His eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead due to excessive exertion. He was thinking hard.

Seeing Lu Ren like this, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple sighed deeply and said, "Don't force yourself. If you can't remember some things, don't think about them. Focus on the present and let the past go."

Lu Ren looked at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple. She was looking at him with an understanding look. "It will all pass."

"..."

Not long after, Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. She wanted to wake up Lu Ren who had been sleeping next to her, but when she turned around, she saw that there was no one there.

"Why have these Honkai creatures become so impatient?"

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple looked up and met Lu Ren's gaze.

She walked to Lu Ren and squinted her eyes to look at the collapsed creatures below.

"Lu Ren, you stay here and watch. I'll go call Bronya and the others over."

"it is good."

After a while, Lu Ren heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Then Xi'er quickly walked to Lu Ren's side, looked at the Honkai creatures below and said, "I didn't expect to be able to squat here on the first night. Jiuxiao, you are really a lucky star."

Lu Ren followed Xier's gaze and was surprised to find that they were slowly walking out of the gate.

Under the moonlight, this scene seemed so absurd and terrifying.

"Let's catch up!" Bronya said to the two of them quickly.

Afterwards, the three of them quickly went down the stairs and hurriedly chased after him, leaving Lu Ren alone in the mess in the mall.

"No, have you forgotten someone?"

"Lu Ren, just stay here. We will come to find you after the mission is completed!" Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple shouted downstairs.

Oh my god, it turns out that Lu Ren was regarded as a burden.

But what can be done about it? After all, judging from Lu Ren's appearance, he doesn't look like a top master, so it is normal for others to look down on him.

So should I stay here and wait for them to come back?

After careful consideration, Lu Ren decided that it would be a good idea to follow and see what happens. Letting him stay here alone would be no different from being in jail.

After thinking it over, Lu Ren jumped down from the second floor (this is the wrong way to go downstairs, please don’t imitate), and landed heavily on the tiled floor.

He then left the mall following the traces left by the Honkai creatures on the ground.
