Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

Lu Ren looked up at the phantom Lu Ren on the roof. The phantom Lu Ren there seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at Lu Ren on the ground.

"Not bad, you even learned the Taixu sword energy." The shadow Lu Ren said easily.

Lu Ren didn't say anything, but stared at the phantom Lu Ren thoughtfully.

Shadow Lu Ren was puzzled, "Why are you silent? Relax, this is just a virtual world, everything is just data, don't think too much about it."

Lu Ren hugged his chest and shook his head, "I still have a lot of questions to ask you, but unfortunately I don't have time."

The shadow Lu Ren looked at the green data in the distant sky. This place couldn't hold on any longer after all their efforts.

"I think I should say something to enlighten you at this time, but I know myself well, so I won't enlighten you. I don't have time to be depressed here. The next thing to go to the battlefield is... In a word, just do it!"

Lu Ren finally couldn't hold back his smile, "Okay, okay, since you said so, then I'll leave."

"Wait, take this, you can use it in the future." The phantom Lu Ren introduced an engraving into Lu Ren's body. It turned out that this thing was the thing that made the engraving in Lu Ren's body move non-stop.

Lu Ren said at this time: "If I don't come, will you not give it to me?"

The shadow Lu Ren said: "Don't worry, this mark will be on your body no matter what."

"You said some weird things again. We've only just met for less than a day. Why do I feel reluctant to let you go?"

"It must be my charm that attracted you."

"Is that so? Then goodbye." Lu Ren said this, but his hands were not slow at all. In almost an instant, he stabbed the phantom Lu Ren through.

The phantom Lu Ren took a few steps back, and Lu Ren's eyes tightened. He didn't stab the phantom Lu Ren just now, it seemed that he was prepared.

The phantom Lu Ren did not launch an attack, but looked at Lu Ren in astonishment, "You know! You know!"

The shadow Lu Ren's defense was just a habit. After all, he never thought that Lu Ren would really attack him.

His plan was flawless, so why was it discovered? Is Lu Ren really a genius?

"You've changed. You're clearly made up of my past memories, but you did these things."

The shadow Lu Ren's face turned gloomy, "How did you know my plan?"

"No, no, no, I don't know about your plan." Lu Ren shook his head honestly, "I just feel that everything is wrong at the moment."

The shadow Lu Ren fell silent, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"Why is it such a coincidence that I encountered Yinglong the only time he woke up. Why did Otto become like this? It's not in the plot at all. The me in the past would not change history. I don't know why he created Yinglong in the virtual world, but I understand one thing, if he did this, he must have a back-up plan."

The shadow Lu Ren looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and listened quietly to Lu Ren's analysis.

"He arranged for you to guard Yinglong. Your duty is to guard Yinglong, not to answer my questions. Otherwise, why didn't I even give you some coherent memories of my past?"

Lu Ren felt that a BGM sounded behind him. He pushed up his glasses. Oh, he didn’t have glasses. He just smiled.

The shadow Lu Ren's face turned pale. "This is because, because..."

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sentence. Yes, if he really wanted to solve Lu Ren's doubts, why not give him a more complete memory.

He lowered his head and muttered something to himself that Lu Ren couldn't hear clearly.

Lu Ren looked at the phantom Lu Ren, and at first he did believe the phantom Lu Ren because he had no reason to deceive himself.

But although he had no doubts about what happened afterwards, he still felt that he had overlooked something.

It was not until after the battle with Otto that he remembered why the phantom Lu Ren did not come to help, but just watched from the side. Apart from the fact that he had Senior Tachibana's hobby, he had no reason not to come to help.

It was not until he saw the shadows of Lu Ren and Otto talking on the ground that he became alert. After all, no good things would happen where Otto was.

He walked towards the phantom Lu Ren. Otto disappeared at some point, and then the previous conversation took place.

When Lu Ren said he was leaving, a purple shadow appeared behind Lu Ren, and this shadow gave Lu Ren a feeling of being his mortal enemy.

Only then did he realize that the phantom Lu Ren had other plans, so he took the initiative and tried to subdue him first.

However, judging from the current situation, it was estimated that it would be another fierce battle. He looked around and saw no signs of collapse yet, but it should be soon.

Then Lu Ren must make a quick decision and get rid of the phantom Lu Ren cleanly and efficiently.

When Lu Ren was about to rush towards the phantom Lu Ren, the phantom Lu Ren, who had been lowering his head just now, raised his head in a trance.

“What have I done... Hehe, this is not the result I wanted.” The phantom Lu Ren’s body disintegrated, and high-purity Honkai energy escaped from his original place.

Lu Ren still thought that this was the phantom Lu Ren's back-up plan, so he retreated repeatedly, looking at the mist vigilantly.

After a while, this ball of Honkai energy began to distort, and a golden light absorbed the Honkai energy. As some golden particles poured into Lu Ren's body, he looked at the place where the phantom Lu Ren was originally with a complicated expression.

"So this is what you think? What a pity, what a pity." Lu Renxu held the golden particles, and an inexplicable emotion rose up in his heart.

"No, there's a rock in my eye. I better go back to find Kiana and the others. I hope I can make it in time."

Lu Ren finally remembered that he had two companions. While running, he looked up at the sky that had turned into full of data and found two white lights flying out.

"Hey, I didn't get on the bus, I didn't get on the bus!" Lu Ren shouted, feeling so sad that he couldn't even cry.

At this moment in the dormitory, Mei looked at the three people lying on the floor, all wearing strange Hom helmets on their heads. She felt that she seemed to be out of touch with the times. Is it popular to sleep like this now? They are still sleeping on the floor in the living room.

When Mei was thinking about whether to wake them up, Kiana and Bronya suddenly opened their eyes, sat up immediately, and took off their helmets.

"My silly ancestor." Kiana looked at the Houm helmet with some sadness, and Kallen's appearance flashed in her eyes.

Then, she remembered something else, "Ah, Bronya, can Lu Ren be rescued?"

"It's difficult. After all, that world seems to have completely collapsed." Bronya typed on the keyboard, checking the data in front of her at a glance.

Mei was confused. She grabbed Kiana's clothes and asked in a low voice: "What happened to Lu Ren? Why did you save him?"

"It's gone, all gone, Lu Ren. Why did you run away for no reason? Now you're dead in there." Kiana looked at Lu Ren lying quietly on the ground. She felt angry and sad.

Mei patted Kiana's shoulder in confusion, "Look, Lu Ren has opened his eyes, how could he be dead?"

"No, it's impossible. How could he open his eyes!" Kiana wiped her eyes hastily. "Ah, Lu Ren, are you a human or a ghost?"

Kiana was so frightened that she fainted.

"Oh, my, my." Lu Ren's mouth twitched and he put his helmet down. He shouldn't have left without saying a word to Kiana and the others, and made them so worried.

"I'm glad you're okay." Bronya felt relieved and nodded to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren laughed awkwardly a few times and scratched his hair.

"Why are you guys acting so weird? I don't care about you. I'm going to cook. Lu Ren, come and help me." Mei looked at the three riddle men in front of her speechlessly, without even an explanation.

"Oh, here I come!" Lu Ren followed Mei into the kitchen.

By the way, maybe they didn't review much knowledge and suddenly became worried about the make-up exam they will have soon.
