The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

"Hua, what do you think of the clothes I bought for you?"

Hua picked up the clothes Carol had bought for her. "Thank you, I really like these clothes."

This is the first time I've received a gift from a friend in all my years of living in China.

Looking at Hua like this, Carol said, "Smile more, don't always have that blank expression."

Hearing Carole say that, Hua Qiang forced a smile and said, "Eh, you're being too unnatural."

"Sorry, I don't usually laugh, so I'm a little..."

"stop"

Carol stopped Hua from continuing, "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Don't go practice your martial arts today. We live in a civilized society now, where would you find the opportunity to use martial arts? So, I'll treat you to a movie today."

Hua initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Carol's expectant expression, she said, "Okay."

Hearing that Hua agreed to go to the movies with her, Carol jumped up with joy. "Yay! I finally got to invite you, Hua. Today, I'm going to take you shopping and to the movies." With that, Carol pulled Fu Hua back to the dormitory to change clothes.

I watched Fu Hua and Carol interact quietly. "How wonderful it was. Hua had a loving father and her best friend. It's a pity that the Honkai took everything away from this girl."

After watching the two of them leave, I also chose to leave this city and go to Canghai City.

A few hours later, I walked into a hospital carrying large and small bags.

I went to the front desk and called out to the nurse, "Excuse me, do you know this person?"

"Wait a moment, let me guess for you." After saying that, the nurse began to check.

"The person you're looking for is in room 402 on the fifth floor."

After thanking her, Wang Tang took the elevator to the fifth floor. After riding for two minutes, Wang Tang finally got off the elevator and saw that the first room she saw was 401, and 402 was opposite that room. "This should be it."

Wang Tang tapped it gently.

A deep, resonant voice came from inside: "Please come in."

After I went in, I placed the fruit and some supplements on the table next to the hospital bed.

"May I ask who you are? Do we know each other?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tang spoke up, "I really don't know you. I'm Hua's good friend. She heard that I was coming to Canghai City, so she asked me to come and check on you for her."

"Oh, I see. She's Ahua's friend. Has Ahua been bullied at school?"

Wang Tang chuckled and said, "Do you even know Ahua's personality? At school, apart from having very few friends, basically no one bullies Ahua. Even if someone wanted to bully Ahua, they'd have to be able to beat her first."

"Haha, look at me, I'm just worried and confused. Ahua is so grateful for the care he received from you all at school."

"No no."

"You don't need to be modest. I know Xiaohua's personality. She has always been the kind of person who goes with the flow. She didn't make many friends when she was in elementary and middle school because of her personality."

Xiaohua's friends are generally people who wouldn't hurt her.

Wang Tang listened patiently to what Hua's father had to say.

"Wang Tang, your uncle has a favor to ask of you."

"What's the matter?"

“I feel my body is getting worse every day, but please don’t tell Hua, I don’t want her to worry. I want to entrust Hua to your care.”

Wang Tang sighed, "Okay, I'll take good care of her."

Half an hour later, Wang Tang left the hospital where Fu Hua's father was staying.

"What else is there to do now?"

"Forget it, let's go back to the Möbius Lab."

Wang Tang opened a portal and teleported directly to her sofa.

Wang Tang, lying on the sofa, called out, "Mebius, I'm back."

But when he realized that no one was paying attention to him, Wang Tang felt something was wrong and stood up to walk towards the experimental table.

Wang Tang walked to the door of the lab bench and found a pink-haired beauty and Mebius wearing a pink dress.

Wang Tang thought to herself, "So Mebius likes pink dresses." But then she remembered that Mebius didn't actually wear pink dresses.

"Could that pink-haired beauty be Alice? Then it's no wonder Mebius is wearing a pink dress."

I secretly turned on the video recording function on my phone. "I can use these videos to laugh at Mebius later."

Alicia said happily, "Mebius, I've exceeded the task you assigned this time, can you make a cute face for me?"

Mebius, arms crossed, said somewhat irritably, "Wearing this dress is already my bottom line. If you make any further unreasonable demands, Alicia, I'll have to ask you to leave."

"Don't be like that, Dr. Mebius. I just wanted to see you make that cute expression in your pink dress. And the person who was secretly taking pictures of us at the door probably wanted to see it too, right?"

Upon hearing Alicia's words, Mebius angrily said, "Who's there? Show yourself!"

Hearing Mebius's angry shout, Wang Tang's heart tightened, but then she remembered that she already had such a "precious" video. With a determined heart, Wang Tang walked out.

"What a coincidence, Möbius," Wang Tang said awkwardly. She secretly glanced at Alicia, who was laughing next to Möbius, clearly enjoying the situation.

Mebius asked in a somber tone, "What did you see?"

"I just arrived, I didn't see anything." But Wang Tang's phone, which was not turned off, gave him away.

Mebius held out his hand. "Hand over your phone."

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Wang Tang had no choice but to plead, "Doctor, I'm making this as a keepsake for you. Please, please don't delete it, okay?"

"Will you give it to me or not?"

Wang Tang shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No."

"Okay, Alicia, grab her phone from me, and I'll put on a cute dress and do something adorable for you."

Hearing Mebius say that, Alicia was somewhat tempted, but still said, "No, Mebius, I want his photos too."

Wang Tang watched as Mebius's face turned red with anger because Alicia had rejected him.

“Since Mebius doesn’t like it, then take it.” I walked up to Mebius and handed him the phone.

Mebius was somewhat taken aback: "This...this is different from what I saw online!"

Mebius had only meant to tease Wang Tang, but he hadn't expected me to hand him the phone so readily, leaving him unsure of what to do.

Alicia realized that Möbius didn't want to delete the video at all, but he was too stubborn to admit defeat. Alicia snatched the phone away. "Dr. Möbius, I really want this video. Please don't delete it."

Seeing that Ellie was giving him an out, Mebius said, "I won't delete it for Ellie's sake."

"Take it."

Wang Tang took the phone and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Um... By the way, I don't think I saw you before."

"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wang Tang."

My name is Alicia, and I'm a beautiful girl as dazzling as a falling flower. Please remember me!

"I will"
