Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

“When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don’t let yourself regret it.”

Lu Ren suddenly woke up from the bed. He looked at the pitch-black room and reached out to turn on the switch on the bedside table.

A dazzling white light came on, and Lu Ren squinted his eyes subconsciously. He looked up at the clock on the wall.

"It's seven o'clock, time to go to the cafeteria..."

He simply washed up and took down the blue military uniform hanging on the hanger. After thinking for a while, he took out a new shirt and found a black tie from the closet.

A few minutes later, Lu Ren was doing the final touches in front of the mirror.

Looking at himself in the mirror with gray hair and a dark blue military uniform, Lu Ren couldn't help but be dazed.

After all, he had only been here for three or four days, and the military uniform was only delivered yesterday.

He looked left and right, and finally only one idea came to his mind.

"This guy looks like a dog!"

After complaining as usual, Lu Ren pushed open the door of the room and walked towards the cafeteria.

After preparing breakfast, Lu Ren sat in a corner, which is also the best place to observe other people.

Most of the people had no smile on their faces, their faces were stiff, and they didn't make any sound when eating. Only occasionally could you see fatigue in their eyes.

In this end times, when will they be liberated?

The atmosphere in the cafeteria was very solemn, and Lu Ren's appetite naturally decreased. He just quickly finished the food in front of him and left in a hurry.

After coming out of the cafeteria, Lu Ren fell into confusion again. Everyone passing by had their own tasks to complete, except Lu Ren.

He had been here for three or four days and had not received a single mission. Even when he went to Bronya and begged her to give him a mission, she refused.

This made him very depressed, and he also wanted to contribute to this world.

Lu Ren, shaking his head, accidentally walked back to the dormitory. He stood in front of his door, hesitating whether to go in.

"Huh, Lu Ren, why are you standing in front of the door? Did you just go out or just come back?"

Lu Ren turned around and was not surprised to see Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Hey, you look pretty good in this outfit, but it's a little worse than mine."

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple threw her coat away in a casual manner. Her unique outfit seemed to announce to the world her uniqueness, and her cool style was eye-catching.

"Yes, yes, after all, who would tie a bandage on their legs for no reason, and tie it outside their black pantyhose."

"Lu Ren, what do you mean? This is called fashion, do you understand?" Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple looked at him with dissatisfaction, as if to say that he was shallow.

"If this is called fashion, then Huoyun Evil God must be the most fashionable person." Lu Ren said in a joking tone.

Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple was stunned when he heard the person Lu Ren mentioned, "Fire Cloud Evil God, what a powerful name. I feel an invincible aura from this name."

In a sense, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple was not wrong.

"I guess he must be a handsome, elegant, and suave man!"

"...his appearance...believe me, you won't like it." Lu Ren tried to recall it, and then felt a chill.

"What? You're so boring now." Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple shook his head in disappointment.

When the two were chatting in the corridor, Xi'er passed by in a hurry. Seeing Xi'er in such a hurry, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao stopped her and asked, "Xi'er, what happened?"

"Bronya and Himeko are missing!" Seele looked so flustered that she even forgot to add the word "sister" which she usually did.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's hair stood up, "What? Where will the two of them go? Who will handle the organization's affairs now?"

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple had a very shocked expression, so Lu Ren couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple turned around and glared at Lu Ren. She was not yet able to teach this person a lesson for laughing in an inappropriate situation.

"Jiuxiao, come with me to the command center. We are needed there now."

Houraiji Jiuxiao also understood that if Bronya and Himeko left, the command of the Fire Moth resistance would be handed over to her and Seele.

But it's very tiring, and it's very stressful.

Looking at Lu Ren, whose lips curled up slightly, she suddenly came up with an idea.

"Ahem, Comrade Lu Ren, as the temporary leader of the Fire Moth Resistance Army, I now order you to come with us to the command center and assist us in command."

"…The mission has arrived, but why am I not happy at all?"

Lu Ren obviously did not expect that Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple in front of him would use power to suppress him (without power and strength, Lu Ren is nothing but a doge), and she still got her revenge.

"Then let's go quickly. Having Lu Ren here should be helpful... no, it should be very useful." Xier said.

"Xi'er, you just wanted to say that it's useless."

"No way, you heard it wrong, I didn't say anything wrong!"

"Then why are you so guilty? Stop looking around."

"What, no? You're not handsome, why should I look at you honestly?"

These words were a bit heartbreaking. Lu Ren felt his heart was broken, probably into five equal parts.

He wanted to refute Xier's opinion, but...

"What? Okay, we'll be there soon." Xier's face changed after receiving a call. She immediately put away her guilty look and rushed to the command center with two people.

Lu Ren noticed the flash of panic on Xier's face, and he suddenly felt that something big was about to happen.

At the command center, people here are going crazy.

"There are so many red dots on this map, all heading towards ME Company. Are these Honkai creatures going there to attend the wedding?"

"This isn't funny... So where is the leader? What should we do next?"

"What should I do? Just rely on yourself. Listen to me..."

"Why should I listen to you? I think I should..."

The command center was filled with noise and bustle, like a pot of boiling water, boiling with chaos and noise.

People danced and excitedly expressed their opinions and views, trying to convince others to accept their views.

Their faces turned red, their voices became louder and louder, and their emotions became more and more intense.

Paper documents were flying in the air like snowflakes, some fell to the ground, and some were crumpled up and thrown away at random.

The command center, which was originally neat and tidy, has now become a mess, with folders, notebooks, pens and other office supplies scattered in every corner, as if it had just been baptized by a storm.

"Bang!!!" A loud noise was heard, drawing everyone's attention to the door.

Xier and Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple stood side by side, their eyes as sharp as torches, scanning all the people inside.

For a moment, everyone was silent, as if suppressed by their aura.

"Everyone calm down, we are the last hope of mankind."

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple walked in, picked up the pens and documents scattered on the ground, and put them back where they belonged.

"Everyone, please clean up. But while you're cleaning up, please listen to me for a few words. You may think I'm nagging, but I have to do this."

On the other side, Xier was giving Lu Ren a thumbs up.

"You must have a way, Lu Ren, otherwise I don't know how to calm these people down."

"It's just a quick thinking, and my hand really hurts right now."

Just now, Lu Ren punched the wall with great force. The wall was as hard as diamond, and it made a sound.

According to the physics book, the action of forces is mutual. If Lu Ren exerts a great force on the wall, then the wall will naturally exert a reaction force on Lu Ren that will shock the world.

Lu Ren glanced at his right hand, which had turned as red as the claw of a steamed prawn.

"I'll go to the infirmary and come back later."

"Okay, when we're done here, Jiuxiao and I will come to see you."

…………

"Lu Ren, are you feeling better?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at Lu Ren who came out of the infirmary and asked worriedly, "I heard from Xier that your right hand is as red as a shrimp."

Lu Ren was still a little moved after hearing this. See? This is a true friend!

"It's okay, look!" Lu Ren stretched out his right hand and waved towards Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao showed a sly expression on his face, "Oh, that's good, then let's get ready to set off."

"Wait for me here. Tell me, where is the target?"

"ME Club!"

"What, cough cough cough, there are so many Honkai creatures there, do we really want to go there?" Lu Ren couldn't help but shrink his head when he thought of the dense red dots he had seen before.

"Xi'er said that there must be something wrong. There must be something in ME that attracted them. ME happened to have a mecha production line, so Xi'er speculated that these Honkai creatures were going to destroy the production line.

And Bronya and Himeko are likely there too. After all, if we want to counterattack Honkai, weapons and equipment are essential."

Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple spoke in a rather concise manner, but Lu Ren still understood it.

"So Bronya and Himeko are most likely going to control the mecha assembly line."

"Now that you understand, let's go and help Bronya and the others."

After he finished speaking, Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple grabbed Lu Ren's hand and ran away quickly.

"…It was the first time a stranger of the opposite sex held my hand. I didn't expect it to be at this time."

At this time, Lu Ren was still a little disappointed.

…………

"Haha, they're all mechas. You really think highly of us." The red-haired woman laughed sarcastically, and her golden eyes swept across the mechas surrounding them.

"Why did these mechas suddenly go berserk? This has never happened before?" Bronya said.

"It's simple, the master is back." Ji Zi spat, and the big knife in her hand exuded a scorching temperature.

There seemed to be a raging flame of war in her eyes, and the hot and passionate light was so shocking.

She stared at the enemy in front of her, her eyes firm and resolute, as if telling everyone: the person in front of her was just an opponent she could easily defeat!

However, behind this endless fighting spirit, there is also a belief that is so powerful that it is suffocating - a determination and courage that can break through all obstacles and cut through all thorns!

This belief is like an extremely sharp sword, shining with cold light, always ready to cut through the thorns and brambles for her and create her own path!

The two began to fight the enemy, and at this moment, a man wearing a black mask fell from the sky, and the Honkai energy raged, cutting the nearby runaway mechas into metal materials.

"It seems we have arrived at the right time!" said the man wearing a black mask.

"Who are you?" Ji Zi asked.

"I'm just a black guy passing by... Ouch, who hit me on the head?"

"What a mess. Just picking up a black mask on the way here and this is what happened?"
