Collapse Mod, all characters are NPCs!

"But seeing Mei talking to herself like she's schizophrenic is a bit creepy to me."

"That's you. If it were anyone else, we wouldn't do this."

After saying that, Luo Hong blinked at Raven with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Is this your invitation to me?"

Looking straight ahead at the road, he saw the raven in his peripheral vision and said solemnly, "But please allow me to refuse."

"I don't have anything I desire, so you don't have to work hard on me."

"really?"

With an interested look on his face, Luo Hong said, "I asked you to change islands, but I was working hard behind the scenes."

"Now that you say that, I feel a little sad."

"But something like that shouldn't be enough to make me sacrifice myself."

Although there was a slightly complicated expression on his face, Raven quickly adjusted himself.

And just as she said, the pain of losing the island was not enough to make her risk herself.

"That's fine."

Luo Hong naturally expected this, and he asked, "What about your lost brother?"

"Don't worry about that."

Shaking his head slightly, Raven said bluntly, "My brother is also in contact with me now."

"Although I was taken away by the Gray Snake back then, during a subsequent mission, Tianming gave me the information about my brother in order to incite me to defect."

"Oh?"

Luo Hong made a surprised sound, touched his chin, and asked with a playful look: "So you haven't betrayed the destiny yet?"

"The intelligence was given to me, why would I defect?"

While the road ahead was straight, she couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Luo Hong with a look that said, "How could you be so naive?"

only--

"Don't look at me like that."

Luo Hong shrugged and said with a smile: "Even if I am really naive, destiny can't be so naive, right?"

"Is there nothing wrong with your brother?"

"Perhaps he has some leverage over you, and at a critical moment, he'll threaten you with his own life to betray you?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

Shaking his head, Raven said calmly, "The World Serpent's strength is more than enough to detect if there's anything wrong with my brother."

"If there really was a problem, Gray Snake wouldn't allow me to touch him."

"That's right."

Nodding slightly, Luo Hong stroked his chin and said, "That 'Otto' is really good at currying favors. No wonder he was able to win over Old Yang."

Although Raven didn't say it explicitly, he could also hear the other party's good impression of Tianming.

Of course, this bit of goodwill is not enough to make Raven betray the World Serpent, but at certain critical moments, it can also have some unexpected effects.

In addition-

"Now I understand why you have no intention of killing Kiana."

With a thoughtful look on his face, Luo Hong changed the subject and said, "In the original world, you wanted to kill the Herrscher of the Void directly."

Of course, this may also be because Raven has not yet experienced the pain of the Island of Death.

But ultimately, the reason why the Herrscher of the Void separated her from her brother should be more important.

"Kill, of course I want to kill."

Facing Luo Hong's statement, Raven did not hide anything and said seriously: "But she is also the key to defeating Honkai, right?"

"My brother once told me to 'live well.'"

"But if the collapse doesn't end, how can we live well?"

It is naturally impossible to say that she does not hate the Ruler of the Void, but for the sake of more important goals, she can temporarily put aside her hatred.

More importantly,

"Besides, she didn't become like this on her own. The mastermind behind this was Otto after all. I won't make a mistake in remembering my enemy."

On the surface, it seemed that it was the Herrscher of the Void who took action, but she could only be considered a weapon at best.

The person who actually forged this weapon was actually Otto.

So although Raven also hates weapons, he hates the people who forged the weapons even more!

"Is that so?"

Luo Hong smiled and said, "Is this also the reason why you are unwilling to switch to Tianming?"

"There is a part of it for the time being."

Raven did not deny this.

If she were asked to go easy on the ordinary Valkyries under Tianming, she would naturally be able to do it.

But if she were given a chance to kill Otto, she would definitely pull the trigger without hesitation.

"It seems that your brother is still alive, and that has changed you a lot."

Compared with the raven in the original world line, Luo Hong could clearly feel that the raven beside him was very different.

"maybe."

Since he didn't know what "himself" looked like in Luo Hong's eyes, Raven could only nod slightly in agreement.

"What about Sora and the others?"

With a hint of joyful smile on his lips, Luo Hong said: "Those kids should be your weak spot, right?"

"It's my weakness."

Without denying it, Raven nodded in approval again, but her expression remained unchanged.

because--

"But you won't do anything to them."

"Ah!"

Luo Hong chuckled and said, "You really saw through me."

"But do you trust my character so much?"

"I don't trust your character."

Shaking his head, Raven said bluntly, "But because you did that, your image in their eyes will also collapse, right?"

"You don't have to do this just for me."

Maintaining a high level of rationality, she stated the reason for her judgment in a cold tone.

"Then you really underestimated yourself and me."

Luo Hong said with a joyful voice, "Raven, you also have many lovely and beautiful qualities. Please don't underestimate yourself."

"As for me, I can completely modify their memories so that they don't realize I did it."

"Then I admit defeat."

As if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Raven stated the matter in a very normal tone.

"But I'm honored to be able to help you achieve this."

"Tsk!"

Seeing that there was no fear on Raven's face, Luo Hong smacked his lips and said, "It seems that I can't take you down for the time being."

After saying this, he showed a slightly regretful look.

"temporary?"

Curling his lips, Raven said bluntly: "I hope it will be forever."

"You're really ruthless when you speak."

Having said that, the joy on Luo Hong's face gradually grew stronger. After all, the fact that Raven could say such words in front of him meant that their relationship had already gone beyond the stage of strangers. It could be considered a good start.

"You said you wanted me to treat you as a friend, so naturally I said it bluntly."

As Raven got to know Luo Hong better, he knew more and more how he should approach him.

Admittedly, she is not very old, but she has traveled a lot over the years and has seen a lot.

Therefore, she is quite experienced in speaking differently to different people.

Not to mention, Luo Hong is very easy to get along with, so she has no reason not to have a good conversation with Luo Hong.

So on the way back to the World Serpent Base, she chatted with Luo Hong here and there, and even the Herrscher of Thunder came out to talk from time to time. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Even after returning to the base, she couldn't help but feel a little unsatisfied.

But it was not until this moment that she realized how terrifying Luo Hong was... He was able to close the distance between him and her very easily.

[Raven, the Lord is looking for you.]

And just as she was reflecting, she received news from Gray Snake.

Without responding to the gray snake, after saying goodbye to Luo Hong who left with Anna in his arms, she went to the deep hall of the World Snake to meet the Lord of the World Snake - Kevin.

"The mission went very smoothly."

Without waiting for Kevin to speak, she took the initiative to report: "The Herrscher of Ice has been recovered."

After saying that, she quietly observed Kevin.

To be honest, in the past, she wouldn't have dared to do such a thing even if she had a hundred times the courage.

But along the way, Luo Hong told her a lot of interesting stories about Kevin, which helped her to dispel the mystique of her lord.

Of course, the necessary awe still existed. After all, the powerful and cold aura emanating from Kevin still made her feel breathless.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Maintaining a cold attitude, Kevin didn't have the habit of beating around the bush and asked directly: "What do you think of Luo Hong?"

Although I know a little about Luo Hong from the resurrected Alicia and Mebius.

However, the former was full of praise for Luo Hong, while the latter directly rejected him, resulting in his understanding of Luo Hong being very one-sided.

Therefore, Raven went with Luo Hong this time, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to get to know Luo Hong.

"Not bad...right?"

Overall, Raven had a good impression of Luo Hong.

Although the other party did not hide his desire for her at all, he did not show any sign of impatience, nor did he use his strength to force her.

Therefore, she was still willing to spend time with Luo Hong as friends, otherwise she would not have chatted so much with Luo Hong on the way back.

"Is that so?"

His cold eyes finally showed some change. Kevin revealed a thoughtful look and said, "Tell me everything you have seen and heard along the way."

"Yes."

Without hesitation, Raven recounted everything that had happened from the time he met Luo Hong to his return, no matter how big or small.

She even tried to restore the content of the conversation as closely as possible.

It’s a pity that she was afraid of causing Luo Hong’s disgust, so she didn’t record it, otherwise the content could be more detailed and complete.

"That's all the conversation I had with him."

"..."

Without rushing to answer Raven, Kevin interlaced his fingers with his hands and looked thoughtful.

But soon—
