Collapse, survive

Fang Jie didn't care about those things: "You have no conscience, Xiao Sanyue. She's your friend's mother."

"You're the heartless one, no more photos allowed."

On March 7th, he slapped her face so hard she laughed. And you think she's your friend's mom? Wait, is she Xing's mom?

“I’m not.”

Kafka feigned a wronged expression: "How could you have such a misunderstanding? From a biological point of view, the silver wolf is..."

"Let's go, I'll take you to some fun places."

Fang Jie didn't want to discuss this topic, mainly because of that Silver Wolf guy...

He was afraid that if he laughed out loud, it would be too impolite to Wolf Lord.

Little March was extremely shocked. What was all this about?

As someone who has been searching for her past, she said to the Star Core Spirit, who shared her plight, "Your past is really explosive!"

Fang Jie took one of their hands and led them to play in the front. There were many places to visit in Jinren Lane, and he planned to spend the whole day there.

Kafka no longer wanted to eat, and March 7th was also too tired to eat, but Fang Jie still wanted to eat.

Fallen leaves piled up along the roadside, and the air was filled with the scent of cooking. Xianzhou was a place that gave Fang Jie a strong sense of 'hometown,' even though it was both retro and futuristic.

Now that many major events have come to a temporary end, he has a long time to relax and recharge, having traveled to the present day...

I'm fucking awesome.

Strolling around the fairy boat, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and having someone by your side—it's time to really relax and enjoy yourself.

As for Kafka's purpose in coming...

We'll see. For now, just be my gaming partner.

"Wait, this is the fun part you were talking about..."

On March 7th, things got a little out of hand; there are even hot springs in Jinren Alley.

"Otherwise, you've worked up a sweat eating, and it's getting late. Why don't you take a soak and then take a nap before continuing to play?"

Fang Jie was also puzzled as to why there was a hot spring in Jinren Lane, but after reading the introduction from the locals, he found out.

Yes, it was converted from a public bathhouse.

After all, this place, where outsiders used to gather, has brought about some changes. Recently, due to the Star Core Crisis and the growth of the Jianmu tree, there are far fewer tourists, making it a perfect time to enjoy it all to myself.

You might even encounter a dream-eating tapir that helps with psychological counseling.

March 7th pouted, so wouldn't that mean... me and her...

Fang Jie is very understanding. She winked and said, "Then I'll go with her."

No!

March 7th wanted to elbow him, but that was impossible; this was the Immortal Ship, there was no mixed bathing!

In short, enjoy the hot springs comfortably, and you can even take a sauna.

Fang Jie wasn't in a hurry to ask Kafka why she had come to him. He fed her until she was full first, then went into the hot spring and soaked in the lava.

You can vaguely see bright light and hot flow; the temperature is high enough to be used for grilling. Fang Jie, who was swimming around inside, suddenly plunged in. He was surrounded by orange-red, high-temperature lava. As he calmly grew to a gigantic size, he splashed up a lot of waves.

He could freely adjust the size of the spatial scale. When he adjusted the star ring of the destiny space, he also showed off the same magic tricks performed by the stars and March 7th.

At this moment, it grew to gigantic size, stretching its body and feeling relaxed.

The splashed lava continued to flow, subtly forming whirlpools, with calcite at the center of the whirlpools.

"As expected, things are still a bit out of control."

Previously, in order to defeat Huanlong, he had transformed into a philosophical weapon, almost ceasing to think and relying entirely on the other 'heads' to control his actions. After that, Huanlong harbored resentment towards him and disturbed him as if he were harassing Jingyuan.

Don't be fooled by Fang Jie's quiet and withdrawn demeanor these past few days...

He didn't fall into a deep sleep and sleep forever. The finale was that his instinct to constantly fight against the "nothingness" kept him awake and helped him hold on.

The current uncontrollable absorption of lava energy is because Fang Jie's control is insufficient, reaching a certain critical point, and he begins to instinctively crave more energy to evolve at a higher level of life.

The danger of Huanlong lies here: it fuels the flames, pushing him towards an out-of-control direction.

Kiana, burdened by the Cocoon of the End, could only transition through sleep.

Fang Jie... I can't sleep! Exploration is much more interesting than sleeping.

"Is anyone here?"

At that moment, a seemingly polite voice came from outside the door, and Kafka pushed open the door to the supposedly single-person bathroom and walked in.

Bath towel style!

She was still completely covered up, showing great restraint.

But the desire is hard to hide!

She walked in with a smile: "Hmm, so you like this bath salts. You really have... lots of energy."

A blast of hot air, easily several thousand degrees Celsius, hit him. And the boy, who had been harmless, had become enormous. Fang Jie didn't bother to hide anything.

"anything."

When Kafka appeared before him, Fang Jie knew she wasn't just there for a stroll.

However, March 7th was also there, and he kept a close watch on him, as if he was afraid that he would also be abducted.

happy.

The purple-haired beauty strolled around the enormous bathroom with a smile. It can only be said that the people of the Celestial Ship were indeed well-prepared; even Tiga could lie down comfortably while taking a bath, as if they were raising a monster.

"Nothing important, I just wanted to chat with you and see what kind of person you are, so that I can arrange a blind date between you and Silver Wolf in the future."

Kafka casually uttered words that would make March 7th jump up in excitement.

Fang Jie also spat out a mouthful of lava: "What is all this nonsense? Elio has gone on an attack."

He believed in Elio's prophetic abilities, but suspected that Kafka was playing a trick on Silver Wolf. Otherwise, Silver Wolf... well, she probably didn't care much. Compared to the others who joined the Star Core Hunters because they believed in the prophecy, Silver Wolf just wanted to come to the galaxy.

“Eriol did have an attack once, and it was because of you that everyone was quite surprised.”

Kafka didn't elaborate on how surprised she was, or specifically who planned to eliminate the Destruction Element.

"Why don't you introduce yourself first? Then I'll introduce my companions to you."

This is indeed a good time for communication, after all, March 7th is not here, so there is a sense of excitement.

"Me?"

Fang Jie laid bare his past and reminisced about it.

With the attainment of the Celestial Ship's physical mimicry, his past memories no longer faded with time. In fact, it should be said that even before that, he could recall what he still remembered at any time.

As for those swallowed by nothingness, those forgotten.

How can you recall something you've forgotten? You can only rely on déjà vu, which is frankly a very frustrating situation.

Furthermore, science shows that memory fuzziness is due to the brain's self-protection mechanism, preventing numerous and chaotic memories from increasing the brain's burden. At this point, it is necessary to use a 'key' to unlock the long-forgotten memories.

And Kafka is a good key.

"My past is unremarkable; I've only played through your stories. Well, in the sense of a game, you should be able to understand. Silver Wolf is also a gaming expert, even though the world I live in is set in an ordinary modern city."

Fang Jie spoke slowly and frankly.

Meanwhile, Kafka was inevitably leaning against the edge of the lava pool, eating ice cream.

"Excuse me, Silver Wolf is not a gaming expert."

She licked her lips and uttered something irrefutable.

"What a disgrace! It's a huge embarrassment to the ducks."

Fang Jie was furious. "Silver Wolf, how could you be so incompetent?"

Aside from that, Kafka can understand.

Does the game, set in a modern urban environment, predict the future?

"So, what is your role in our story?"

"The player who manipulates the Star Core Essence!"

Fang Jie casually remarked that the Star Core Spirit would definitely clamor to get his revenge if it heard this.

Finally, he met someone who could foresee the future, so he didn't have to rack his brains to explain. He chuckled and said things that March 7th couldn't understand.

It's very relaxing.

"Simply put, there is no magic, no cultivation of immortality, and no gods in my life. It's just an ordinary world. Apart from some conflicts and chaos between people, the world is generally peaceful and war-free."

Fang Jie recounted his past, glossing over the details, "Then one day, while playing on my phone, I flipped over and found myself in this world."

It will probably land in Belleburg.

There's no need to make any further connections.

"Is it."

Kafka pondered for a moment, then sighed, "You're really unfortunate to have to live in our world."

"I didn't realize you were such a pessimist. When I played your character, you always put in a lot of effort, participating in major events with the greatest hope, like a mother protecting her child."

"Hmmmm~"

Kafka puffed out her chest and accepted Fang Jie's praise.

"It's a pity she didn't think of you when she died."

Kafka didn't want to hear that and rolled her eyes.

That's the downside of being able to foresee the future; you always end up seeing a less-than-ideal future.

"How much do you know about my past? Do you need me to elaborate?"

Kafka didn't want to talk about how Xing was elbowed to death; it happened so fast, she didn't even have time to react.

"Not many, you know, it's the game's design, they release expansions little by little, and I came here before it was even finished, unlike the game next door... well, the game next door isn't finished either."

Kafka roughly understood. Having had a lot of contact with Eriol, she knew that prophecies had limitations, and she immediately smiled mischievously: "Then I won't say anything."

"what?"

Fang Jie was still waiting to hear the story.

"Maintaining mystery is very important for a woman, darling."

Okay, Fang Jie won't press the matter further.

She called me "darling".

The nearly 100-meter-high cube began to shrink and return to 'normal'.

The bath towel was also re-wrapped during this process, so as not to resemble a young person who had fallen into the azure sea and was splashing around happily in the lava pool.

"Want to come with me to the next room? It might be a bit thrilling, but once we cross the stagnant water and dive deep into the River of Oblivion, we can get to the next room through the interconnected worldviews."

Fang Jie extended an invitation.

There are no secrets to the Honkai, and even fewer to the galaxy.

This isn't a private matter; there's no need to hide it.

Kafka smiled and shook her head in refusal: "I'm still young, and I still have things to do."

These words truly disappointed Fang Jie. He sank into the lava, making a "gurgling" sound, and only his voice could be heard.

"Okay, okay, I'll go find the fireworks."

Kafka glanced at the churning lava and recommended someone other than Hanabi: "Why don't you try inviting Silver Wolf? She'll definitely agree and is preparing to set you up on a blind date."

"No, no, Silver Wolf can only be a good friend."

Fang Jie rejected the offer. It wasn't because of his physique; Hanabi's physique wasn't better than Ginrou's either, but rather because of the way it aroused people.

Silver Wolf, you know what I mean, buddy.

Going on a blind date with her is not as good as dating Kafka.

He twisted his body, looking just like a seaweed.
