The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

"System, system, are you there?" The system did not respond. (Wang Tang)

"Hello, big brother, are you there? Please reply to me!" Just when Wang Tang thought the system was resting, the system finally responded.

"What's wrong, host?"

"System, you're here. I thought you went to rest."

"No, I was busy with something just now, so I didn't respond to you in time."

Wang Tang asked doubtfully, "Even a lazy bum like you has things to do?"

The system was momentarily speechless at Wang Tang's words. "Alright, alright, just say what you need to say."

"Are there other people on me?"

The system was a little confused when it heard this. "Who are you talking about?"

Wang Tang asked seriously, "What's going on with Captain, Kong, Qiong, and Zhe? Why can Aponia see them on me?"

"So that's what you meant? I thought you were talking about something else. The host and the others are a part of you. Well then, when you go to Teyvat, you're just empty in their eyes."

"Similarly, when you go to the Starry Sky Railway world, you can selectively become the Sky, and the world of Zone Zero is similar."

Wang Tang scratched his head. "So what's the use of this?"

"Hey, so that means you can use their faces in those worlds if you want, since they're all you anyway. Whether you use them or not is up to you."

"Your explanation is the same as not explaining at all?"

"This kind of thing is too complicated to explain, so I won't."

Wang Tang: "..."

"Isn't what you're saying just a rehash of the old saying because it's a long story?"

"Ahem, don't worry about such details, host. You have to believe me. How could I possibly return it to you? It's too complicated to explain. So please understand me."

Wang Tang forced down the question she was about to ask, "Okay, okay, since it's so troublesome, I won't ask."

........................

(I had a plan for this part, but it was too messy and troublesome to execute when I died, so I simply made sure the system couldn't tell me.)

Second day

Lying in bed, Wang Tang groggily touched the toy he was holding. It was soft, round, and quite bouncy.

"Wait... what about the toy I brought?" Suddenly opening her eyes, she saw not a toy, but Pato!

Wang Tang's movements were a bit too vigorous. Pa Duo glanced at Wang Tang groggily, then went back to sleep.

A mental storm began to rage within Wang Tang: "This isn't right, how could Pado be in my bed?"

"Wait a minute? She wasn't there when I went to sleep yesterday. I was dragged into bed by her. What's the point?"

Wang Tang tried to calm himself down, carefully attempting to move away from Pado, afraid of waking her. But as soon as he moved, Pado clung to him like a little octopus, muttering something under her breath.

"Brother Wang Tang, let me sleep a little longer." Hearing this, Wang Tang steeled his heart and continued to sleep with Pado.

Moths that chase fire

A high-level office

"Give the order." The kneeling man said tremblingly, "Boss, do we really have to do this? I'm scared."

The man sitting at the table said angrily, "What are you afraid of? Just be careful in your actions. Go now."

"Yes," the kneeling man quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Modern Civilization

Destiny Headquarters

The elegant man sitting at his desk swirled the red wine in his glass and said with a playful expression, "Has Amber still not found the person I asked you to find?"

Amber sighed, "There's still no bishop. Saint Freya's A-rank Valkyrie, King Sugar, has been missing for almost 20 days, and we still haven't found him... He seems to have vanished into thin air without leaving any trace."

"Is that so? Amber, step down."

After receiving the instruction, Amber slowly left the office.

With a "thud," Amber left the place.

“You’ll be there, my old friend. If I hadn’t met the Lord of the World Serpent before, I really wouldn’t have known that so many things happened 17 years ago.”

A voice identical to Otto's said with amusement, "Yes, even I didn't expect that my data was secretly modified 17 years ago."

Otto laughed and said, "The Void is vast and boundless. Shall we guess what that man's purpose is?"

"That is indeed a good question. That man neither wanted to destroy the world nor showed any intention to save it."

"What could his purpose be? Apart from being very kind to a certain Valkyrie, he hasn't shown any interest in anyone else."

“You once said that Void Treasury was almost identical to that person from the previous civilization, but was more immature.”

"Could this person in the present civilization be that person who was reborn through some method we don't know about?"

"After all, the man from the previous civilization was already... dead in your initial records."

"Otto! Otto, what makes you think I'd tell you?"

Otto was not annoyed by Void Treasury's reply. Instead, he joked, "It doesn't matter whether you tell me or not. He'll come to see me sooner or later anyway."

Void Treasury smiled and said, "Otto, aren't you being too arrogant? What makes you think he'll definitely come to see you?"

“Void Treasury, even if that man doesn’t come to see me, it won’t matter much. Anyway, my plan is almost finished.”

Huberian

Theresa slammed her hand on the control panel. "That wretched, smelly candy king, he's playing hide-and-seek with us again."

"Calm down, Theresa, that Wang Tang probably has her own things to take care of."

"Yes, yes, Wang Tang said he'll probably be back in a few months, so you don't need to worry about your period."

After hearing Cecilia and Kiana's words of comfort, Theresa said viciously, "When that bastard comes back, I'm going to spank his ass a good beating."

Kiana felt a chill run down her spine. She hadn't expected that Wang Tang had been missing for the past few months, and after only a few months of returning, he would disappear again.

The best news Kiana has heard in the past few months is probably that Cecilia has been resurrected and brought back by Sugar King.

She recalled the scene when Dr. Tesla brought her back to the Hyperion.

"Kiana, we'll be returning to the Hyperion soon. I heard that Wang Tang left you a surprise here."

Kiana remained silent for a moment before asking, "Dr. Tesla, do you really know what kind of wake-up call Wang Tang left for me?"

Tesla shook his head: "I heard it from him before. He said this gift will definitely make you feel better right now."

As the two were talking, their spaceship began to be scanned by the Hyperion.

When Kiana set foot on the Hyperion again, she thought of her teacher, whom she had killed with her own hands.
