Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

"Wow, such a real dream." Lu Ren woke up from a nightmare and wiped the sweat from his head.

The system asked considerately: "Host, what kind of dream did you have that actually woke you up?"

Lu Ren glanced at the sky outside. The sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale. "The city was on fire. People were shouting everywhere. The sky was extremely gloomy. The air was filled with the smell of death."

"Uh, host, are you reciting poetry?" the system said sarcastically.

The corner of Lu Ren's mouth twitched, "Hey, I'm telling you my dream out of kindness, but you're telling me a crosstalk here, right?"

Seeing Lu Ren say this, the system quickly added: "Is it possible for me to read your memory directly? I was just asking on behalf of the readers."

Lu Ren said, "Go away, stop talking nonsense here. Tongzi, tell me honestly, what did I do in the past? How come even the Destiny Database has traces of my past self?"

The system was stunned. Lu Ren's expression didn't seem like he was joking with it. It thought about it carefully and felt that it wouldn't be a big deal to tell him. (Lu Ren: So you thought I was still joking, didn't you?)

But it still said relentlessly: "Host, didn't you meet a virtual personality of yours there? Didn't he tell you?"

"Are you asking this intentionally or accidentally? You can read my memory, right? Just check if it's in my memory."

This is a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

The system was silent for a while, "Well, actually, host, you were a scientist in your previous civilization."

"..." Lu Ren was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "Then this high score I got in the exam is really embarrassing for myself."

The system said in a gratified tone: "It is important for people to know themselves. Host, I hope you understand."

Lu Ren was already used to the system's slander. He just rolled his eyes and said nothing else.

Afterwards, Lu Ren went to the bathroom and washed up.

After everything was done, he went to the training ground on time. This was a daily routine, and Lu Ren would definitely go there when he was in Saint Freya.

Lu Ren was walking on the road. He looked around and there was really no one there. He had long been used to it.

Soon Lu Ren arrived at the training ground, but unexpectedly found that Fu Hua did not arrive at the training ground first this time.

He first looked around, but there was no sign of Fu Hua under the facilities in the distance. Then Lu Ren simply sat on a chair at the side and began to wait for Fu Hua.

Ten minutes passed unknowingly. "It seems that the squad leader has gone out on a mission." Lu Ren speculated.

After all, Fu Hua had no reason to be late.

"Then it looks like I'm the only one left."

Lu Ren stood up and started warming up. After that, he began to run around the entire school campus.

“A good day starts with a morning run.”

Lu Ren was running quite fast and soon reached the teaching building. The building was eerily quiet at this moment. There was a figure in the office window, and it seemed that he was staring at Lu Ren.

"Lu Ren, can you come to the office?" Theresa called out from the window.

Lu Ren raised his head and looked at Theresa upstairs. "It can't be something bad again." Lu Ren thought uncertainly.

But he still didn't say no. Instead, he nodded very stiffly and walked honestly towards Theresa's office.

On the way, his mind continued to wander, "Could it be another mission? But isn't today a make-up exam? The principal shouldn't let me go on another mission, right?"

Thinking of this, although Lu Ren himself felt that this was too far-fetched, he comforted himself and felt a little relieved.

When he arrived at the door, Lu Ren knocked and the door opened immediately. It seemed that Theresa had already opened the door in advance.

As soon as Lu Ren entered, he saw Theresa sitting on a chair. She looked at Lu Ren straight in the eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

Lu Ren was a little scared when Theresa stared at him like that, so he took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything I can do for you, Principal?"

Theresa came back to her senses and said, "Oh, Lu Ren, you're here. I want you to help ask Kiana and the others."

"Ask Kiana and the others. Principal, don't you have time to look for them?" Lu Ren asked in confusion, because he saw that Theresa was usually very free and didn't seem like someone who didn't have time.

Theresa sighed and said, "I want to go by myself, but it's the end of the year, and I have many reports to submit and a lot of troubles to deal with. This is not being a principal, it's like serving a sentence here!"

Theresa complained for a while, and maybe it felt better after she said it out loud, as she smiled again. "Anyway, please ask Kiana and the others if they are willing to travel to London and celebrate the New Year there."

"Uh, okay." Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not a big deal.

Then he looked at the clock on the wall of his office, "Principal, I'm leaving now."

"Go ahead." Theresa waved to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren turned around and was about to leave. Theresa seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Oh, by the way, Lu Ren, are you going anywhere during the winter vacation?"

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then said, "No."

"Then Lu Ren, how about you come with us to London to celebrate the New Year?" Theresa said, "It's okay if you don't want to."

"Yes, of course!" Lu Ren's heart warmed and he quickly agreed.

"I feel relieved when I see you agree. Let's go quickly. The make-up exam is about to start."

Lu Ren was about to leave the office. His hand had already touched the door handle. Then he thought of something and looked back at Theresa. "Principal, can Su Yi go with us?"

"Okay," This child probably has nowhere to go, Lu Ren, you are very thoughtful. Theresa nodded in agreement.

After getting Theresa's consent, Lu Ren left the office.

"By the way, I haven't been to London yet." Lu Ren walked towards the examination room, talking to the system. He couldn't continue running. There were only ten minutes left before the make-up exam started. If he continued running, he would not have time to get to the examination room.

The system said: "Host, what you said is wrong. You have been to London."

“That’s where I went in the past.”

"You just said whether you went or not."

"Okay, I won't argue with you. The more I argue with you, the more excited you get." Lu Ren knew very well that some dogs were just boring to the extreme. As long as you ignored them, they wouldn't be able to do anything to you.

"I don't know who is talking to me." After saying something to Lu Ren, the system felt it was boring and fell silent.

"Master!"

Qin Suyi, who was walking towards him, called Lu Ren. Lu Ren had just finished talking to the system when he was startled by Qin Suyi's shout.

"Oh, it's Suyi." Lu Ren saw Qin Suyi and asked her, "How about we travel to London and spend the New Year there?"

"Wherever Master goes, I will go." Qin Suyi looked at Lu Ren and said.

"That's good. I'll leave first. There are still a few experiences waiting for me." Lu Ren said jokingly.

Qin Suyi said: "If you, Master, were to listen to the lectures, it wouldn't be like this."

"..." After hearing what Qin Suyi said, Lu Ren fell silent. When he came back to his silence and looked around, Qin Suyi had disappeared. She probably ran away because she was afraid of being criticized by Lu Ren.

"Pfft." The system's laughter came to my ears.

Lu Ren kept a stern face and continued walking towards the examination room.
