As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"This little guy, he falls asleep really fast..." Chen Yuan chuckled to himself as he involuntarily looked away from the newspaper and turned to look at little Möbius, who was already fast asleep.

However, after only a brief pause, he focused his attention back on the newspaper in front of him.

More precisely, what was drawing his attention at this moment was not the entire newspaper, but the detailed descriptions of the Honkai disease published within it.

"An unknown virus?" Chen Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on the newspaper he had just finished reading, pondering to himself.

'Could it be that the Honkai hasn't fully erupted yet? Judging from the current situation, the technological advancements of the previous civilization don't seem sufficient to trigger a further qualitative change in the Honkai. But... is it really that simple? Perhaps not...'

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan slowly put down the newspaper in his hand. His previously relaxed brows were now tightly furrowed. 'Perhaps, in some corner, the figures of assassins or even Honkai Beasts have already appeared.'

'It's just that the government has deliberately concealed these existences...tsk! This is truly a thorny issue.'

Just then, a crisp notification sound rang in Chen Yuan's mind: [Ding, system notification: One of the host's simulated subjects, Padofilis, is in danger. Please check it as soon as possible!]

Hearing the sudden alarm, Chen Yuan's brow furrowed slightly again. Since starting this simulation, he hadn't stopped to rest, leaving him no time to pay attention to the situation of Padophilia and Aponia.

"Teleport, Padophilia." Chen Yuan glanced deeply at Little Mebius and silently murmured in his heart. At that very moment, his body began to emit specks of black light.

Immediately afterwards, the black specks of light converged at an extremely fast speed, forming a huge ball of light that enveloped Chen Yuan completely.

With a slight spatial fluctuation, the ball of light rapidly contracted, eventually transforming into a black ray of light that vanished in a flash.

When the black line completely disappeared, the place where Chen Yuan had been was now empty, with only a faint energy fluctuation remaining in the surrounding air.

However, something unexpected happened. The very next second after Chen Yuan disappeared, Mebius, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide!

She turned around and stared straight at the spot where Chen Yuan had last disappeared. At the same time, a strange light flashed in the depths of her eyes, seemingly containing some indescribable emotion...

------------

"It hurts so much... How could this happen? How could someone have found out..." In a quiet corner of the Twilight Street, a little girl dressed in tattered clothes huddled against the wall, her body trembling slightly.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the little girl's thin body appears exceptionally frail, and even more striking is the deep scar on her right leg.

The wound looked as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, and blood was slowly seeping out, staining a small patch of ground beneath her feet.

This poor little girl was none other than Padofilis, who had struggled to survive on this twilight street since childhood. At this moment, her face was filled with pain, and her eyes revealed helplessness.

However, at that moment, a cacophony of shouts suddenly shattered the tranquility. "That thief is over here!!!" Immediately following were several fierce barks from dogs.

As the sound grew closer, several burly figures rapidly approached the corner. Upon hearing the sound, Padofilis's heart sank, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Oh no! We've been discovered!" Padofilis exclaimed in a low voice, enduring the excruciating pain in his leg as he struggled to get up and run away.

However, perhaps due to extreme fright, Padofilis reacted unusually violently, moving so much that she directly aggravated the hideous wound on her body.

In an instant, a wave of excruciating pain surged through her, instantly overwhelming her consciousness. She involuntarily stopped, her body trembling slightly with agony.

In those few short seconds, a group of menacing people quickly surrounded them, leading several large, vicious dogs with sharp fangs.

The dogs barked incessantly, foaming at the mouth, their fierce eyes fixed on Padofilis, as if they were about to pounce on her and tear her to pieces at any moment.

"Haha, run, you little brat, keep running! Why are you out of energy now? You despicable thief!"

The burly man standing at the front of the crowd stared at Padofilis with a sinister grin, his large, bell-shaped eyes gleaming with cruel light.

"Hmph, so you're injured and can't run! Hehe, looks like the throwing knife I just threw was pretty accurate."

Upon hearing this, a slightly thin man behind the man felt a pang of pity and couldn't bear to look directly into Padofilis's terrified eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, the man finally mustered up the courage to speak to the burly man in front of him, "Boss, are you really sure it was her who stole the thing?"

"In my opinion, she's only six or seven years old at most. How could such a young child do something like this? Perhaps we should..."

"Idiot! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!!!" Before the skinny man could finish speaking, the burly man suddenly raised his foot and kicked him hard.

The kick was so powerful that it sent the thin man flying several meters before he crashed heavily onto the cold, hard ground.

"You're a fucking idiot! If we let her go, who will let us go? Once those high-ranking big shots come after us, we'll all be dead!"

The burly man glared at the thin man lying on the ground, his face contorted with rage, and roared. At this point, the burly man seemed to feel that the lesson wasn't enough, so he added another vicious remark.

"Hmph! It's not too late for you to realize this now. You're just a brainless piece of trash!"

"If you want to survive in this place, you'd better put away your useless pity! Otherwise, one day you'll die without a burial place!"

After saying that, the burly man gave a cold snort, then turned around and continued to stride toward Padofilis, who was not far away.

At this moment, Padofilis, watching the burly, demonic figure gradually approaching him, was filled with endless fear.

Instinctively, she used her hands to support her body and desperately moved backward, trying to get as far away from the terrifying man in front of her as possible.

However, no matter how hard she struggled, the distance between them continued to shrink. Finally, with nowhere left to retreat, Padofilis, as if resigned to her fate, slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

However, what no one noticed was that at that moment, strands of eerie, dark tentacles were silently and slowly climbing out from Padophilia's shoulders.

"Little girl! In your next life, please don't be reborn in this damned Twilight Street!" With a furious shout, the burly man with a face full of scars charged at Padofilis like a ferocious beast.

He raised the gleaming blade high in his hand and slashed mercilessly at the petite and delicate girl before him.

However, something unexpected happened in the next instant. The burly man, who had been so aggressive, suddenly stopped moving as if he had been frozen in place.

At the same time, the vicious dogs that had been barking wildly seemed to sense some kind of extreme danger, and they all obediently lay down on the ground.

Their bodies trembled incessantly, and they emitted continuous whimpers of terror.

"Boss, what's going on?" The group of henchmen standing behind the burly man were all bewildered; they had no idea what had happened.

Just as these people were whispering and looking at each other, there was a muffled thud, and the burly man who had been so imposing just moments before suddenly fell straight forward to the ground without warning.

Upon closer inspection, a thumb-sized hole appeared between his eyebrows, from which bright red blood gushed out, instantly staining the ground red.

In front of the burly man who had fallen dead, a rather young-looking man had quietly appeared out of nowhere.

This young man was none other than Chen Yuan, who had just been teleported from Mebius. At this moment, he stood there quietly, his cold eyes fixed on the group of panicked enemies before him.

'Huh? Why does it suddenly stop hurting?' Padofilis also felt strange. The expected blow did not come, and the pain in her leg disappeared without a trace. On the contrary, it was now warm and comfortable.

Curious, she opened her eyes and found a tall, upright man standing in front of her, with a black tentacle connected to the man from the wound on her leg.

"Who...who are you?" Faced with this situation, Padofilis felt she should be afraid, but looking at the man in front of her, she felt no fear at all.

"Hmm? My name is Chen Yuan. I'll tell you the details after we've dealt with them." Hearing the faint voice behind him, Chen Yuan turned around, looked at Padofilis, and gave her a gentle smile.
