Where is the third collapse? ! !

That was Fu Li's light, his only one, the only thing that this boy, who returned to China alone after losing his parents, thought about day and night for seven years.

This is no longer a simple emotion, but a kind of awareness similar to faith.

But you now? You tell Fu Li:

Ha! You didn’t expect that!

The girl you have been obsessed with is actually a fake and shoddy product, and everything you have paid for is just your own self-satisfaction!

Hyperion's small family, which was only established for three months, will fall apart in the blink of an eye!

……

Chapter 16 "Zhenqi is dead! What can I do!"

The clouds, like iron sheets crumpled by a giant, hung low over the Pacific Ocean.

The salty mist was filled with rain that had not yet fallen, and a blue-gray gap appeared at the junction of the sea and the sky, like a wound forgotten at the beginning of creation.

Inside the Super Electric Society, which is physically isolated from the outside world, Mei's face was stern.

If you say Theresa knows nothing about Kiana's identity as a android, the girl will definitely not believe it.

Otherwise, when Kiana went berserk for no apparent reason the day after the birthday party, this guy wouldn't have followed along with a calm demeanor as if 'everything was as expected', acting as the ballast to seal the Herrscher of the Void.

That's why Mei was so angry. Why didn't she tell him about this important matter earlier? Why did she have to wait so long before...

No! If I hadn't realized that the genetic arrangement was wrong and taken the initiative, this white-haired old woman who always pretended to be young wouldn't have had the slightest thought of confessing!

Thinking of this, the girl, who was already furious, suddenly became furious.

If it weren't for her aristocratic education that taught her that cursing is wrong, she would have started pointing at Theresa's face and swearing at her.

On the other side of the video, Saint Freya, the other person involved, didn't react at first to what was happening.

It was not until she heard several key tags such as genes, DNA, Kiana, and androids that she changed her previous lazy child posture, threw away Hom, sat on the bed, and slowly straightened up.

"Fuck-"

The S-class Valkyrie's astonishing aura suddenly exploded, and the quantum communication picture across the Pacific Ocean suddenly distorted.

Even though she knew that the other party would not do anything to her at all, Mei still felt as if she was being stared at by some super-large animal that was active in the Carboniferous period when she was stared at by those eyes.

"Roar--!"

The little red dragon that was dozing off on Mei's wrist suddenly opened its eyes and let out a deafening dragon roar.

The mini dragon's body swelled up in the wind, and the scales that had been shattered by Yulandel quickly reorganized in the void, emitting a stream of dazzling scarlet particles that triggered tides, and in the imaginary quantum field connected to the superstring space, a dragon-shaped aurora spanning dozens of kilometers appeared.

Her sharp eyes swept across the screen at the threatening Judgment-level Honkai Beast. Theresa snorted coldly, "This dean knew this guy wasn't dead."

Previously, I vaguely realized that Shesha's death was too hasty, but now it is the first real showdown.

"Kuli!gal!la!"

It was a bit like a little girl who had just learned to talk, or a pink furry rabbit with two words that occasionally popped out in Star Iron 3.1 version. [Kurigara], the new name that the owner gave himself, was uttered word by word from the mouth of the red dragon snake.

——KrkāLa, another incarnation of Acala in mythology, symbolizes the Buddha’s wisdom and power to dispel ignorance.

Its image is very special, 'Kurikala the great dragon, swallowing a sharp sword, and being entangled with its four legs'. It is a black dragon entwined around a sharp sword, or in the shape of swallowing a sword, standing on a rock, with flames around the sword.

Considering that it was completely black when it appeared in the form of Shesha in the past, this name is quite appropriate.

As for the symbolism of wisdom and the elimination of ignorance... the old people said that children should be named according to what they lack.

"Humph!"

In the past, seeing this scene, Theresa would definitely laugh loudly at Cocolia's clownish behavior.

In front of the global satellites, he controlled the Creation Engine to kill the Herrscher of Thunder's companion Honkai Beast, but it was actually dived into the deep sea and escaped without him knowing.

If the existence of Kurikara is exposed one day, the face of the leader of the anti-entropy reformists will be thrown to the ground and stepped on hard.

But now, Theresa, who was also worried about the matter of K423, had no time to imagine the scene of her old rival being humiliated.

"Raiden Mei, you blame me for not explaining the relationship between K423 and Zhenqi to you earlier, which led to the current situation where we are stuck in this situation."

She said: "I understand your idea. Some things will become much easier to handle later if you make them clear at the beginning."

The girl's eyes were filled with sadness. "But I have to tell you, it's precisely because I didn't reveal the truth back then that you can play house so peacefully like this now."

"How can it be--"

"Raiden Mei!"

Theresa rudely interrupted the girl, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and spoke in a tone that seemed to end everything: "The real Kiana, the little girl who made a promise with Fu Li, my most beloved little adorable niece!"

"—He died seven years ago!"

"what?!"

The shocking fact made Mei unconsciously take a step back, and her face became particularly ugly.

Not knowing why this happened, Kuligala thought that the other party had done something, and opened his mouth to condense thunder and fire.

"I don't think you can miss that."

Ignoring the red dragon baring its fangs and claws at her on the other side of the screen, Theresa said coldly, "You've developed Hyperion to this point in just three months. Your intelligence is enough to deduce why I'm hiding the truth."

She shook her head. "It's only because it involves Fu Li and... K423 that your clever brain subconsciously overlooked this possibility."

"Because you also understand that if the conjecture of [Zhenqi is dead] comes true, the impact it will have on the current Hyperion and those two people."

The lightest result was that Fu Li and K423 parted ways.

And this is just the lightest.

Theresa continued, "Of course, you could be a bad girl. You just want to use me to confirm your suspicions so you can pretend to be deeply saddened and tell the little devil Fu Li."

"That way, you can appear before him as his savior, the white moonlight, and hold him in your arms, whispering comfort. Your love and bond will grow deeper and deeper, making it impossible for him to leave you no matter what. Finally, you can naturally marry him. By then, no woman in the world will be able to compete with you."

"How could I possibly do such a thing!"

Mei gritted her teeth in anger.

If the other party was replaced by someone else, for example, if Kiana was replaced by Yulandel, Mei would definitely do as Theresa said at the first moment, and completely take the boy into her pocket with the attitude of a winner, and look down at the golden retriever becoming a loser.

But not Kiana.

Only she can't.

They are close friends, companions and family. Mei would never hurt the white-haired girl who pulled her out of the endless darkness and stood by her without hesitation when she was at war with the world just for her own happiness.

She can't be that selfish, and there is more than just love in the world.

The bitter taste of rust spread in Mei's mouth, and blood dripped from her clenched fist.

That was the proof of the nails unconsciously piercing the palms during the inner struggle.

"Wait a minute, Dean!"

Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, Mei, startled awake by the stinging pain in her palm, quickly spoke: "I still want to confirm one question. How did you find out about Zhenqi's death?"

As long as Kiana is not dead, as long as she is not dead, then everything can be turned around!

Unexpectedly, when Theresa heard the girl mention this, the sadness in her eyes almost overflowed from her eyes.

She closed her eyes and sighed to the sky: "From a grown man who was crying his eyes out."

Siegfried Kaslana, the hero of the Second Honkai, a qualified candidate for the Holy Fire Judgement, the former head of the Kaslana family, and a powerful S-class knight.

It was this man who didn't cry when he betrayed Kaslana's beliefs and left Walter Yang alone on the moon to contain the Second Herrscher. He didn't cry when he was injected with the gene activation potion and was in excruciating pain. He didn't cry when his beloved wife was sacrificed by the Honkai fission bomb. After the war, he gritted his teeth and moved forward alone in his destiny without crying.

Only that time, when his precious daughter fell from thousands of meters high and he had no chance to turn back as he was chased and blocked by combat troops, the man cried like a child.

Mei's rational way of thinking immediately made her notice the problem: "In other words, neither you nor Mr. Siegfried witnessed what happened to Zhenqi?"

"Don't go too far, Raiden Mei!"

Theresa suddenly opened her eyes and was furious!

"He was just a seven-year-old kid. Hitting the water from a few hundred meters up is no different from hitting concrete, let alone from a few thousand meters up!"

The word that Tianming used to describe Kiana afterwards was "recycling". Who would use a word like "recycling" to describe a living person!

"Besides, it would be nice if I could die cleanly."

Theresa almost choked up: "I am most afraid that my eldest niece will still have a breath left when she falls to the ground."

"Can you imagine? In the narrow valley of the freezing cold, a girl lying there, shattered to pieces, barely breathing!"

"Snow accumulated in the sunken abdomen, broken ribs pierced the skin, and the little lips, frozen purple, kept murmuring, 'Daddy, I'm in pain, save Kiana...', 'Kiana is so cold, my period's bitter melon juice, I won't despise it anymore...', 'I miss my mom...'

He used his last bit of strength to lift his broken little hand and stretched it towards the sky, until his eyes completely lost all their spirit!"

"That's the one I hold so tightly in my hands I'm afraid it'll melt. Cecilia left me this most adorable niece!!!"

At the end of her speech, Theresa knelt down with her arms folded, screaming and sobbing.

And Mei——

At this moment, in her eyes, it seemed to be divided into two pictures, one on the left and one on the right.

In the ice abyss reflected in her left eye, Mei saw seven-year-old Kiana, like a broken porcelain doll embedded in the Siberian ice. Each ice floe reflected a different expression - a smile asking for candy, a serious practice of shooting, a person blowing out candles at a birthday party, a person with her parents and aunt, and a person making a pinky promise.

In the terminal hall that appeared in his right eye, Xiao Fuli was sitting by the window with a large bag of antidepressants in his pocket. He was holding a faded paper crane in his hand, and the white mist he exhaled from the window with his knuckles was faintly visible in the shape of a 'K'.

The Siberian blizzard filled her left ear, and she heard a crisp sound like a shell breaking from the white-haired girl's chest.

The roar of a Boeing 747 taking off reached his right ear. The black-haired boy, driven back to China by fate, had his memory wiped clean, yet he still remembered the promise firmly. As he checked his ticket, he was still whispering, "I will never forget!"

One has persisted until now with a vague hope, but the other died early.

“…It’s so tragic.”

Mei muttered to herself.

"Really... it's so tragic..."

No matter which one.

Both.

……

A whimpering sound continued to be heard from the exhaust vent, and several deformed cans gently collided in the puddle of water in Saint Freya.

The rusty moonlight filtered through the glass curtain wall, weaving spider-web-like spots of light on the cracked marble floor.

After a long silence——

"Tell me, in the final analysis, it's still you, Raiden Mei, who should be blamed."

Perhaps having just recovered from her melancholy, Theresa sobbed slightly as she spoke: "If the Third Collapse hadn't come so suddenly, I, the dean, would have told you everything when we first met. Whether you're still entangled or not is none of my business. I wouldn't have been scolded for nothing!"

The third collapse took less than ten minutes in total. He landed on the ground → had a quarrel with Cocolia → the Herrscher came → one after another → cut the sky with one sword, all in one go. During this period, he had no chance to tell the truth, otherwise it would easily affect the battle situation.

Afterwards, Theresa had already realized the situation between Fu Li and K423 through their previous interactions.

Once you have a burden in your heart, some things can no longer be easily spoken out.

What's more, K423 still has a personality hidden in his body. Once it is over-stimulated and completely destroyed, Theresa's severely injured body after the third collapse will not be able to deal with a Herrscher of the Void.

It was reasonable and logical for this matter to be suppressed at that time.

Mei, who had figured this out, said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Dean. I misunderstood you."

"Humph."

The girl crossed her arms and turned her head away unhappily.

The pure white short braids tied into a death hairstyle swing back and forth, and the puffy look is very cute.

But then again, neither Mei nor Theresa actually knew:

Once this cruel truth is revealed to Fu Li, what awaits them will definitely not be just the arrival of a Herrscher.

In the eyes of the girls, the dangerous person in this incident from beginning to end was Kiana, the carrier of the air law.

Fu Li's problem is at best an emotional one; he himself cannot pose any substantial threat.

It's not that Mei and Theresa are narrow-minded, but they fail to take into account a variable - that is, Fu Li is actually a reborn person.

The effort he put into the fake K423 was far greater than Mei and the others imagined.

At the end of last week, Fu Li could have killed Kiana and lived on his own.
