Where is the third collapse? ! !

Fu Li skillfully communicated with her mind: [Pu Bao never said that the Terminal Assistant System had a second AI besides her, and your appearance is so...]

She is completely a mature and intellectual version of the older sister Mei. The only difference is that Mei herself seems to love sports. This girl has a plump figure, but is obviously the kind of super sports idiot who has to stop, bend over and gasp for breath after running a few steps.

[Prometheus mentioned this before, right? When the Terminal Assistant System was formed, it subconsciously referenced the person of the opposite sex that left a deep impression in your mind.]

Dr. Mei spoke the lines he had prepared for a long time: [Prometheus's reference was Bronya Zajček, and mine was Raiden Mei. And considering the relationship between you and Kiana-san, we both excluded her, who left the deepest impression on us.]

【That's quite thoughtful.】

Fu Li recalled what he had said at the time: [And in order to prevent me from making any cognitive errors, he deliberately made some changes to my appearance?]

Exactly.

【I see. 】

Fu Li couldn't deny this: [So what's your purpose for coming out? Are you worried that the host would be bored alone, so you came here to chat?]

——By the way, if the origin of the Terminal Assistant System is really unknown, how does the host plan to deal with it?

——Just keep calm and counter the opponent’s moves. A real man can bend and yield. This is all I can do right now.

Recalling the conversation between Fu Li and Prometheus when they discussed the origin of the system, Dr. Mei's smile was very intriguing.

Her white, porcelain-white fingers, as if carefully carved, adjusted her glasses. She said, "Host, are you planning to wait here?"

Fu Li said solemnly: [We are holding our ground with the goal of holding out until reinforcements arrive.]

There's no need for us to exchange concepts by piling up words.

强调一下二人同生共死的关系后，梅博士单刀直入:【恕我直言，宿主为何能够如此笃定就真的会有援军呢？单单只因为上周目的第三次崩坏发生在2014年3月28日14:07:48？】

【yes. 】

[If this is the only way, then I suggest that the host prepare more for how to escape the enemy's trap.]

Dr. Mei sighed softly: "Individual power is still too small compared to a behemoth like Anti-Entropy. Ten minutes is enough for them to completely surround this last utopia."

[Unfortunately, they were the ones surrounded.]

Fu Li closed his eyes and rested, completely unmoved.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Dr. Mei frowned coldly.

She doesn't dislike stubbornness, because it is an inevitable quality to become a strong person.

But she hated people who had no self-awareness. The current situation was already clear. The occurrence of the third collapse must be closely related to Cocolia and Raiden Mei.

She didn't believe that Fu Li couldn't see this, otherwise there would be no need to repeatedly ask Yao Yeji and her group the purpose of appearing in Changkong City in the Thunder Building.

'Or is it psychological trauma that has forced him to become extreme in this regard?'

Considering that Fu Li had experienced the third collapse in its entirety as an ordinary person, and his subsequent morbid obsession with becoming a strong person, this is not too difficult to understand.

Dr. Mei would not take Fu Li's experience in the Great Collapse of Changkong City lightly just because of Fu Li's understatement. Her prototype, Dr. MEI of the Fire Moth, also experienced the third collapse in the previous era. With this memory, she understood what kind of purgatory that was much better than Prometheus.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly, and looked at the boy with a hint of pity and tenderness in her eyes.

'Please try to persuade this child again.'

She thought about it and was about to speak.

"My patience has its limits!"

A high-pitched female voice, filled with suppressed anger, suddenly echoed in the claustrophobic space 80 meters below the surface.

It's Cocolia.

God knows what Kiana talked about with her. It pushed her patience to the limit and her words became extremely manic.

"I'm warning you one last time! Hand over Raiden Mei and Bronya, and I promise to let you go safely!"

"Laughing to death."

Fu Li was not polite at all in his retort: ​​"If you were Zhu Yunwen, would you think Zhu Di was very supportive of reducing the number of tribes, and then bring hundreds of thousands of troops to Yingtian City to exercise diplomatic military power?"

Kiana also shouted in support, "That's right! This is like Li Shimin telling Li Yuan that he'll cause trouble if he doesn't give it to the Tang Dynasty! Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking!"

Mei Yi whispered a reminder: "The previous metaphor is not appropriate here, right?"

"I'm saying we're her father!"

"you!"

Cocolia was furious.

Bronya raised her eyelids and glanced at the shouting Kiana, thinking that Cocolia's mother had just contacted her secretly, saying that this white-haired ball would cooperate in the sneak attack on Fu Li and the others.

Now it seems that the talks have broken down?

"There's no need to talk."

Noticing the little girl's gaze, Kiana said firmly, "If you betray your friends just for some information from your stinky dad, he'll disown me as his daughter!"

Just like that, the few of them ignored Cocolia's sweet words and continued to wait for the scheduled time to arrive.

Time flies, and with the repeated ticking of the second hand, the time on the watch finally stopped at 14:07:48, which was the time point of the third collapse outbreak last week.

Quietly.

No grumbling.

In Changkong City, nothing happened.

……

Chapter 75 "Who said I was waiting for the third collapse?"

In the deep water, men, women and girls looked at each other.

Kiana: "Kiyakiyaki?"

Yayi: "Yayi Yayiya?"

Bronya: "Duck duck duck duck?"

"Being cute, huh?"

Fu Li, who was holding Mikazuki Munechika, was calm and composed: "Don't worry, don't worry, just wait a little longer, the reinforcements will be here soon."

[Will there really be reinforcements? ]

Dr. Mei, who only he could see, slowly shook his head: [What about the third collapse? I'm sure you're thinking the same thing now.]

As the leader and top scientific researcher of the Fire Moth, Dr. Mei's growth was not achieved overnight.

In this process, she has seen too many people who are unable to save face and make mistakes.

For example, those high (insect) layers (豸) in the pre-civilization era.

Such people become more stubborn as they get older. Their thinking is rigid and they are unable to accept new things. At the same time, they are particularly disgusted when their "authority" is challenged. When they are in a high position, they often cause greater losses.

She just didn't expect Fu Li to have such a character. He had already hit the wall but he refused to turn back. He had to wait until it was too late to regret.

If it were someone else, Dr. Mei really wouldn't bother to care.

The End Assistant System is just a window after all. She is not Prometheus who seems indifferent but is actually lonely to death. At worst, she can return to the moon and wait for the World Serpent to launch the Stigma Project.

But Fu Li can't do that.

The only person she couldn't ignore was Fu Li.

As one of the key elements for the World Serpent to launch the Stigma Project, Dr. Mei, who was in the Moon World Bubble, should not have been awakened so early.

It was an unexpected factor that woke her up.

Three days ago in the early morning, an extremely powerful destructive tide suddenly swept across the entire surface of the planet, and then dissipated into nothingness within a trillionth of a second.

Its unfolding and disappearance are so decisive that people on Earth can hardly notice it.

As a witness to the final battle of the previous civilization, despite the apparent will of Honkai, Prometheus 17 on the moon keenly grasped the problem.

——The essence of that power is of the same origin as the cocoon of the end where she temporarily resides.

It's time.

A certain existence, using the power to manipulate time, sent a person's soul back from the distant future to the present time and space.

In the memories of Prometheus and Dr. Mei, who had suddenly awakened, there was only one being capable of such large-scale space-time manipulation:

The embodiment of the mighty power of the Cocoon of the End, it possesses a mobile mechanism for spreading despair, and has many aliases such as the Light of Divine Truth, the Sum of the Herrschers, and the God of the Last Coming. It regards the imaginary tides between galaxies as nothing, soars across the universe, and suppresses the celestial bodies that have destroyed countless civilizations with the humanoid ultimate annihilation weapon - the Herrscher of the End!

The thought that the future Herrscher of the End would teleport Fu Li's soul back to 2014 AD naturally came into their minds.

You must know that the End is essentially a civilization cleaning device incarnated as a 'cocoon' and has no self-awareness.

In other words, [activating the power to teleport Fu Li back] is equivalent to [the future Herrscher of the End possessing a self], and the extended conclusion is that [Earth civilization has its own end.]

Perhaps it was Kevin who usurped the power of the end, or perhaps it was other lucky people with good times and bad fates, such as Kiana Kaslana who had the Herrscher of the Void core installed in her body.

In any case, Fu Li's rebirth means that the power of the end is in the hands of civilization.

There is no need to say much about this great power. Burning mountains and boiling seas is just an understatement, and moving stars and changing their locations is a realistic description.

With the protection of the End, the Earth can even break out of the imaginary tidal belt at the edge of the solar system and compete with the powerful ones soaring in the Milky Way.

Is this a good thing?

A wonderful thing!

However, before Prometheus and Dr. Mei could be happy for too long, they suddenly realized a problem after calming down.

——Fu Li was sent back.

Becoming the End means being able to control time, but if such a strong person really acts recklessly according to his own temperament, then it is impossible for the other party to successfully embrace the Cocoon of the End with his mentality.

However, Fu Li was sent back.

What does this mean?

This means that in the future, Earth civilization encountered a catastrophe that even the Ruler of the End could not cope with!

So much so that even the parties involved had to teleport Fu Li, a guy who knew nothing, back to the present year 2014, trying to influence and change some things through his behavior!

That's why Prometheus used the imaginary window created by Fury's return from his time travel to disguise himself as the system AI of the Terminal Assistant System, coming to his side to continuously observe him.

Therefore, in the eyes of Dr. Mei, who cares about civilization, Fu Li, the only clue, cannot die no matter what.

【So, host, run away. 】

What is scary is never the end, but the unknown.

Even if Kiana, who is suspected to become the Herrscher of the End in the future and travels through time to send him back to the present, dies here, Dr. Mei will never allow him to make any mistakes!

……

Facing Dr. Mei's sincere admonition, Fu Li, rubbing the notch of his scabbard, sighed deeply:

If the person staying with me right now was Prometheus, she would never try so hard to persuade me to abandon the others and leave like you did. Instead, she would prepare popcorn and sparkling water and sit quietly in the corner of her retina, waiting for the IMAX spectacle that was about to unfold.

"Lord Cocolia!!!"

On the shore of the artificial lake, the person who was commanding the troops to complete the encirclement felt a pang in his heart.

She turned around and looked at Yao Yeji who was running towards her in a hurry.

"Just now, the monitoring satellite barely captured a blurry black shadow coated with stealth paint, traveling northward from the artificial island in the far southeast at an atmospheric speed of 620 km/h! If nothing unexpected happens, it will be there, it will be there..."

The adjutant could not continue, and Cocolia's heart finally relaxed.

The city-level units in the Far East are below the county level. Even an international city like Changkong City covers an area of ​​only more than 3,000 square kilometers.

With such an area, everything that appears in the sky can be seen at a glance.

——It was an invincible creation forged by mankind's most advanced Honkai science. Hyperion, floating in the sky, was quietly resting there.

The pale ship's hull, full of violent aesthetics, is like a light-absorbing black hole, not only swallowing up the sunlight shining on it, but also attracting the attention of everyone in the city.

Directly above the deck, the winged symbol of destiny is flapping its wings, ready to take flight.

Remembering Dr. Mei's slightly open mouthed expression of surprise, Fu Li smiled brightly: [Who told you that the reinforcements I'm waiting for have collapsed for the third time?]

He is a person who always thinks of danger, change and retreat when doing things. He always makes preparations in advance, instead of being like some thrill-seeking thieves who wait until the husband knocks on the door before they find out that the bottom of the bed is solid, the wardrobe is checkered, the curtains are transparent and the air conditioner outdoor unit is built-in.

do you remember?

On the morning of the second day after defeating Jizo, while Kiana was changing clothes, Fu Li, who had the memory eraser, spoke to Susanna privately.
