Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

Surprisingly, he remembered his own name.

"But..." Ling's face showed some hesitation.

"Do you want to die here in humiliation?" Qianjie knew very well that if Ling was left here alone, only death would be waiting for him.

There were wandering Honkai beasts not far away, and there were huge ice blocks all around, making it impossible for them to survive.

"I don't want to..." Ling shook her head.

"Then follow me!" Qianjie's tone was filled with impatience.

"I...will bring disaster...Maybe this incident is also because of me...otherwise why am I the only one who survived in the village..."

Ling began to cry uncontrollably. He was just a child. How could he remain calm in the face of such a situation?

"Disaster? Haha...hahaha..." Qianjie seemed to have heard something particularly funny.

"Do you think I'm scared?"

Qianjie asked back, with that mask on, there was a creepy meaning in it.

Then, without caring whether he agreed or not, he walked straight to Ling, picked him up, and walked away.

After walking for a while, perhaps feeling that this was too embarrassing, Ling struggled to get Qianjie to let him go.

"I can walk by myself."

The two of them set out on a journey together. After an unknown amount of time, it was already completely dark. They finally walked out of the frozen land, but Qianjie's steps became heavier.

After killing the Herrscher of Ice, Qianjie was already exhausted and was just trying hard to send Ling to a safe place.

Qianjie's breathing became heavy and the things in front of him began to become blurry.

With a stumble and a thud, Qianjie fell heavily to the ground. No matter how Ling called out, there was no response.

As if hearing Ling's voice, a plump figure walked over.

Seeing Qianjie lying on the ground, she hurriedly put down the things she had purchased and checked Qianjie's injuries.

"How could he be so badly injured...Child, please follow me first."

But Aponiya didn't have time to think, so she asked Ling to carry the purchased items and she carried Qianjie back.

Aponia helped Qianjie to a hospital bed and began to look for medical supplies.

"Do you need my help?" Ling looked at the dying Qianjie and wanted to do something for him.

"Please help me take off his clothes." Aponiya said to Ling.

Ling immediately did as he was told and pulled off the black clothes on Qianjie's body.

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Aponya seemed to discover something.

"Okay, that's enough. You go out first and leave the rest to me." Aponiya stopped Ling's next move and drove him out.

"Okay." Ling could only do as he was told.

He squatted outside, praying in his heart that Qianjie would be fine.

Maybe it's because he's not afraid of himself, nor does he hate himself...

So Ling hopes that he will be alive and live well.

Aponia looked at the bandage wrapped around Qianjie's chest, which was tightly bound. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that Qianjie was a girl...

I just think that this man has well-developed chest muscles.

Aponya removed her breast wrap, carefully wiped her body, applied medicine to her, and bandaged her.

The moment the door opened, Ling stood up immediately.

"Excuse me, how is Qianjie?" Ling's little face showed some anxiety.

"She's fine now, don't worry. You should go and rest first. I'll take you to your room." Aponya comforted her.

"No, thank you, I still want to stay with him." Ling bowed slightly in thanks.

Aponya didn't force it, but just said that if there was any problem, just come to her.

Ling sat beside Qianjie, observing her situation at all times.

Her breathing became much steadier, and her expression... well, you couldn't tell, she was wearing a mask after all.

Ling suddenly felt a little curious about what the person under the mask looked like...

But after just a second of hesitation, he gave up the idea.

The mask might be covering something. He didn't want to cause any more trouble, let alone bring himself into trouble.

Although the two of them are very similar, it is obvious that their relationship is not that good.

It's even difficult to involve the word "relationship".

"You must get better..." Ling shouted softly.

He couldn't imagine what would become of him if another person left him.

Ling held her hand tightly, enjoying the unprecedented sense of security until he fell into a deep sleep.

Qianjie opened his eyes and looked at Ling standing beside him, and his hands tightly clenched around him, with some unknown emotions in his heart.

"Don't...go..."

The childish little face wrinkled and he was talking in his sleep.

He dreamed of his birth and his mother's death in childbirth, he dreamed of being abandoned by his father, he dreamed of killing his old uncle, he dreamed of people around him suffering misfortune because of him, and he dreamed of Qianjie abandoning him.

He tried desperately to catch on, but found that the only person was moving further and further away from him.

The ridicule of the villagers, the scolding of the children, the cold coffin, the frozen village... all scenes appeared before his eyes.

They all said that Ling was a disaster star who would bring disaster wherever he went.

He subconsciously hugged his head and curled up as usual, but he was unable to block the malice coming from all directions.

Ling could only watch as they approached step by step, swallowing her up completely without leaving a single piece.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"I'm here."

The gentle voice completely dispelled Ling's nightmare. At that moment, this humble, lonely and unrecognized heart finally found a place to stay.

When he woke up, he was lying on the bed, but Qianjie was nowhere to be found.

He hurriedly got up, rushed out the door, and looked for Qianjie.

I saw Qianjie leaning on a shelf nearby, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Qianjie asked in a neutral voice.

"You're okay...that's great." Yun Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The dream was false, but the last sentence was true.

She didn't leave, she's still here.

Qianjie was a little overwhelmed by these words and turned her head away. Her expression could not be seen under the mask, but her earlobes were already slightly red.

Is this what it feels like to be needed?

……

Chapter 120: Breaking the Disaster!

After knowing that the two had nowhere to go, Aponya generously kept them in the sanatorium.

Qianjie helped the nursing home move some things and was also responsible for security work, while Ling lived with the children.

It’s just that Ling is very introverted and always gloomy no matter who he communicates with.

Either keep silent or just reply with "Yeah" or "Okay".

I spend most of my time with Qianjie. Even just staring blankly at Qianjie seems more interesting than playing with my friends in the sanatorium.

"Aren't you going to go play with those kids?"

Qianjie looked at Ling who was squatting next to him and asked casually.

"I will bring bad luck. You will get hurt if you play with me." Ling shook his head, but his eyes looking into the distance were filled with hope.

"Oh, don't fool yourself. How can there be any bad luck? Look, you've been by my side for a long time and I haven't seen anything..."

Qianjie paused for a moment, and a baseball slowly rolled to Ling's feet.

Obviously, Qianjie was hit by this thing when he just said this.

"Sorry, big brother with the mask..."

The children in the sanatorium weren't too scared of Qianjie, and even thought he was pretty cool...

Although he always looks like he doesn't want anyone to come near him, he is actually very easy to talk to.

Ling rolled the ball gently over. He didn't even dare to throw it because he was afraid of hitting someone.

However, at this moment, two children who were fighting ran towards this side.

"Watch your step!" Ling shouted hurriedly.

But the two children obviously didn't hear it, they slipped, stepped on the baseball and fell down.

Qianjie: "..."

"Are you okay? I'm sorry..." Ling stepped forward to apologize, but he didn't dare to help at all, for fear of causing greater disaster.

"It's okay. I'm in good health. Besides, it's not your fault. I didn't see the road clearly."

The other party wiped his nose, not angry at all, and did not blame Ling.

"Want to play together?" he asked, extending his hand.

“...No need, you guys play.” Ling looked at the other person’s hand, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and returned to Qianjie’s side.

Everyone looked at Ling, who seemed a little lonely, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Qianjie didn't know how to comfort him. After all, his unlucky physique was indeed a bit...effective.

"Do you want to become stronger?"

After thinking for a long time, Qianjie suddenly said something incoherent.

"What?" Ling didn't quite understand what he meant.

"If you had been fast enough just now, you could have saved him before he stepped on the baseball or fell down, and nipped the so-called disaster in the bud." Qianjie said lightly.

“…” Ling didn’t say anything.

"So, do you want to?" Qianjie asked again.

"...I do." Ling answered in a low voice.

He wanted it so badly that he dreamed about it.

He has brought suffering and harm to others countless times. Even though this was not his intention, it seemed as if God was playing a joke on him.

Gave him this unfortunate physique.

He also thought that if he died, perhaps he would not bring pain to others.

But he was still afraid. He was afraid of death. He was just a coward. He didn't dare to commit suicide. He lived in the world and brought harm to those around him.

He could only hide himself and not interact with anyone.

But he was lucky. The old man who picked him up treated him very well and took care of him like his own grandson.

Then he met Qianjie again. Qianjie was not afraid of his physique and was willing to take him with him.

There were also children in the nursing home who were very close to him and often invited him to play with them.

He didn't want anyone to get hurt again! If only there was such a method... if becoming stronger could really protect the people around him...

"Speak louder and answer me like a man!" Qianjie seemed to be fed up with Ling's dejected look and grabbed his collar.

"I want to! I want to become stronger! I don't want to hurt anyone anymore! Help me, Qianjie..." Ling looked at Qianjie with tears in her eyes and said in a firm tone.

"Then start from now on! Keep getting stronger! Be strong enough that even disasters will be afraid of you! Be strong enough that nothing can hurt the people around you!" Qianjie put Ling down.
