Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

Shihen, standing to the side, kept his eyes down, oblivious to the fact that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Chapter 59 I even dared to hit Kevin

As Pado turned into one path after another that he had never seen before, Shihen couldn't help but marvel at the catgirl's navigation skills.

If it were him, it would probably take him an extremely long time to find these paths.

By then, he would probably have already left Paradise.

Therefore, he chose to hire Paddo.

Moreover, besides knowing the way, the other party was also quite lucky, having not encountered a single Honkai Beast after walking for so long.

If Sakura had been the leader, the journey would have been a bloodbath by now.

"By the way, Brother Hen, do you want my imprint? Although it's not as good as Sister Eden's and the others', it's still somewhat useful."

Only then did Pado remember her duty as a hero, and she turned her head to ask.

"No, I prefer my own strength."

Shihen shook his head.

Although he was actually quite curious about what kind of power Pado's mark could provide.

After all, there are no offensive or defensive attributes that can be quantified in reality; what is essentially imprinted is the condensation of the heroes' combat experience.

It is precisely because of this that visitors who possess the inscription can more easily glimpse the memories of heroes and explore the history that has long been buried in the dust of time.

But what about Paddo...? Does her mark teach people how to hide and run away?

"Oh, that's how it is."

Pado looked somewhat regretful.

The visitors were few and far between, and she occasionally longed to be a true hero.

"What have you been looking for for Alicia lately?"

Shihen asked.

He was quite curious about what gift Alicia would prepare.

The other party is a very troublesome person, and the carefully prepared gift will definitely be very troublesome as well.

"Eh? You can't say that. Ellie told me to keep it a secret."

Pado quickly shook her head.

Despite being weak and afraid of death, she still had a strong business sense.

"alright."

Shihen sighed.

He increasingly felt that this gift would be very troublesome.

Moreover, since Pado's work is already finished, the gift should be ready soon.

His time to leave Paradise is drawing near.

While chatting casually, the two quickly crossed the shallow area of ​​the Paradise of the Past and entered a more secluded place.

With each step they took, it was as if they had crossed some unseen door, and the blue sky and green grass instantly unfolded before them.

"Drawed?"

Looking at the scene before him, whose colors were distinctly different from reality, Shihen asked with great interest.

“This is Gretchen’s studio,” Pato explained. “But Gretchen doesn’t seem to be here?”

As she spoke, Pado's slightly bright eyes scanned her surroundings, and she shouted at the same time, "Amo, Amo, are you here?"

After glancing at the catgirl again, Shihen appropriately expressed his doubts.

“Wa'a Mo, also known as Kos Mo, is another hero among us, and he often appears here as well.” Noticing the boy’s gaze, Pado explained, “I’ll test the waters first. If they discover us, things will get a bit troublesome.”

"It's okay, I'm a good fighter, they can't stop me."

Shihen said with an air of domineering arrogance.

He felt that beating Kosmos shouldn't be a problem.

Strictly speaking, the average level of the Thirteen Heroes is only at the level of a Herrscher, but some of them are so strong that it's almost unfair.

As for Dr. Mebius, who claims to be a researcher with little combat ability but is actually quite bad at fighting, he would easily be taught a lesson by a Herrscher-level opponent.

"This, this is it..."

Scratching her cheek, Pado felt that her newly recognized older brother seemed a little dangerous.

If she stayed with the boy for too long, she felt that she would eventually become an enemy of the entire paradise.

“Even if your number one Kevin were here, I could still beat him up.”

Shihen comforted him.

As Pado's new older brother, he has to dispel the catgirl's concerns.

"But... but... Boss Kevin is really here!"

Pado pointed behind the boy, her voice trembling.

Shi Hen: “…”

Next time something like this happens, you can say so sooner.

Looking at the white-haired man standing not far away with his arms crossed, Shihen suddenly felt the atmosphere on the field turn a bit cold.

This huge block of ice truly exudes a chilling aura that keeps strangers at bay at all times.

"Good morning, Boss Kevin."

Shihen greeted him with a smile.

He can fight Kosmo now, but it's too much of a stretch to beat Kevin.

I can't fight, I don't have the ability.

Kevin didn't say anything in response to Shihen's greeting. He simply nodded slightly, then turned and left, leaving behind a lonely and resolute figure.

"What's he here for?"

Touching his chin, Shihen felt a surge of doubt.

While this style of not saying a word is very Kevin-like, the other party can't just jump out and intimidate you whenever they hear someone saying bad things about you, right?

This isn't Alicia.

"No, I don't know."

Paddo was still trembling.

This was the first time she had ever heard of someone so arrogant as to threaten to beat up Kevin, the boss, and to say it to his face.

"Well, since they didn't stop us, it must mean they're tacitly agreeing to our journey to the deepest part of the world, right?"

Shihen guessed.

"Yes, that's true."

With a slap on her forehead, Pado immediately felt relieved.

Wandering through the world depicted by Gretchen's brush, looking at the scene before him that resembled reality but also showed obvious differences upon closer inspection, Shihen couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the paradise of the past.

To exert such influence over reality is a miracle that could only occur in the Pure Land of the Past.

At least for Gretchen, the Land of the Dead should be considered a true paradise.

Admiring every plant and tree here, Shihen and Paduo spent most of the day walking this not-so-long stretch of road.

Arriving at a door resembling a starry sky, Pado stopped and said, "Brother Hen, this is the deepest part. Should I take you here?"

She sensed that it must be very dangerous inside, definitely not a place a weak and pitiful cat like her could venture into.

“Aponia should have already seen you when you stepped into this studio.”

Shihen shrugged.

This is also an unreasonable and tyrannical hero.

Compared to modern civilization, the humans of the Moth Age were indeed somewhat out of line.

Peeping into fate, parallel worlds, aliens... these are all things that science cannot explain.

In the previous era, the stars shone brightly.

With a sigh, Shihen stepped through the door in front of him.

He had a premonition that this might be the last stop on his journey to paradise.

Watching the boy's figure disappear behind the door, Pado's face showed a hint of struggle, but after thinking about it, she still chose to follow.

Just as Shihen said, Aponia could see her long ago.

But since the other party still left the door open, and even Boss Kevin didn't stop them, it was undoubtedly a tacit approval for them to cooperate.

With that thought in mind, Pado stepped inside...

boom!

"It hurts!"

Clutching her forehead, Pado fell to the ground. Looking at the starry sky pattern on the door in front of her, she suddenly understood what the other side meant.

Go home and have some fun!

This Brother Hen seems to have an even bigger background than she thought...

She quickly got up, flicked her tail, and went back the way she came, humming an unnamed tune.

Regardless, she ultimately completed a big deal, further enriching her savings.

This is the unique joy that belongs only to cats.

Chapter Sixty: Kosmo, does it hurt when you sleep with your head pressed against a corner?

Stepping through the door, Shihen saw a magnificent and grand church.

The church has no roof; the blue sky and wisps of white clouds simply cover it from above, making the entire church seem as if it were built within the heavens.

Perhaps it should be said that the sky is the dome of this church.

"Nice to meet you, Aponia, and..." Shihen greeted the people in the church with a smile as he walked toward the statue in the center of the church, "Gresh, Kosmo, I hope I haven't disturbed you."

Besides Aponia, who was already located there, Gretchen and Kosmo were also in the church.

Moreover, judging from their positions, it seems that Aponia is telling Gretchen a fairy tale, while Kosmo is supervising from the side.

Shihen secretly began to speculate.

"No, you've come at just the right time, Hen."

Aponia closed the fairy tale picture book in her hands and said softly, with a compassionate smile on her face.

For her, a brilliant and insightful woman who could foresee the future, calculating time was not a difficult task.

"It seems I don't need to introduce myself."

Shihen nodded.

“But I cannot foresee the purpose of your visit.” Aponia shook her head gently. “Visitor, the Land of the Dead should not have what you crave.”

In her observation, time marks are a very strange phenomenon.

Although she could see when the other person arrived, she could not see what the young man did here, nor could she see the fate of the other heroes.

It was as if... the other party had walked through the sea of ​​memories of the Paradise of the Past, without getting a single drop of moisture on them.

She had never seen such a strange visitor.
