Before the collapse of civilization, kiss Mebius at the beginning

Chapter 167

The old man was so angry that he was forced to leave.

So... is it coming after all?

Listening to the system prompt sound beside his ear, Xu Ziling fell into a brief silence.

Well... Actually, Xu Ziling knows better than anyone that [Hollow] is irreversible. If the God of Collapse really sets his sights on Wendy, then no matter what he does, he can only delay the advent of the Herrscher of Wind, but cannot prevent the birth of the Herrscher of Wind.

After shaking his head helplessly, Xu Ziling felt his current strength again.

It has been nearly four years since he traveled to this world. During this period, his awareness of his authority has been increasing. His status as a Herrscher will help him automatically absorb the surrounding Honkai energy to strengthen himself. In addition, with the countless items purchased from the system store, Xu Ziling's single combat power has long been different.

Now Xu Ziling, not to mention being able to defeat the heavens, the earth, and the air... at least he can fight the top ten Herrschers of Honkai without any pressure. Although the constraints of the eleventh are a bit troublesome, as long as he is careful, Xu Ziling can still defeat them with a lot of damage reduction items. The same is true for the erosion of the twelfth.

The only thing Xu Ziling is worried about now is that Honkai has been silent for so long, not because she is really preparing for pregnancy, but because she has been holding back a lot of trouble for herself. For example... if He throws down the end now, Xu Ziling will still have some trouble dealing with it.

Therefore, in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, he still has to find a way to continue to improve his strength. Only with absolute strength can one be qualified to play against the God of Collapse, and only with absolute power can one truly protect the people he wants to protect.

Thinking this in his heart, Xu Ziling, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, glanced into the bedroom of the institute. Then he turned the breakfast porridge to a low fire and looked at his system panel.

[Host: Xu Ziling]

[Faction: [Destiny]/[Mobius Institute]]

[Owned rare items: Galaxy Lotto, Fictional Robot, Sponge King... etc., the remaining 93 rare items have been automatically hidden, click to open. ]

[Character abilities: Word Spirit (Kafka), I have a cute body (Mirror Flow), Supernova Overload (Firefly)... etc., the remaining abilities have been automatically hidden. ]

[Full Soul Assist Character: None]

[Strange Items Mall: Not Refreshed]

Looking at the system's strange items mall, it is still not refreshed... Because when the system's strange items mall was updated before, Xu Ziling had already cleared out all the things he could buy that were useful to him, and the remaining things were some dispensable strange items, which were not very helpful to Xu Ziling.

Moreover, the bonus multiplication areas between strange items, except for those special final multiplication areas, the bonuses of other strange items will be diluted. Xu Ziling emptied the system's strange items mall in exchange for almost ten times the increase in all attributes. Even if he bought new strange items, there would be no earth-shaking bonuses.

In other words, the bonus of strange items is almost saturated.

It seems that his strength can no longer usher in rapid expansion in a short period of time.

After Xu Ziling shook his head again, he looked at his current Xingqiong deposit,

[Remaining Xingqiong: 53550+365*3*150 (daily)-67800 (system store consumption, including the cost of repairing rare items) = 150000≈937 draws]

[Remaining special tickets: 47+27+100+100 (Destiny year-end bonus) = 374]

Excluding Xingqiong that was consumed in the system store and repaired in the lottery, Xu Ziling's total number of draws has reached 1300, which means that every draw is a big guarantee, and these tickets are definitely enough for Xu Ziling to draw a full soul character.

Let's look at the system card pool.

[System card pool: The ultimate card pool of all characters, it is possible to reach the sky in one step, or it is possible to sink into the sea... everything, or nothing, come and try. ]

[Five-star limited card pool open: [Mirror Flow], [Firefly]]

Yes, after Xu Ziling's cumulative Xingqiong reaches 20w, the system will make the limited characters in the simulated universe that he has cleared into a permanent resident card pool and build it into the system's card drawing module. As long as Xu Ziling wants, he can now draw the full life of the two characters, Mirror Flow or Firefly.

But... Xu Ziling doesn't want to waste the opportunity to draw cards on them...

It's not that the Firefly driving the Gundam mecha is weak, nor that the Mirror Flow as the Luofu Sword Master is not strong... It's just that facing the collapse

God, at least needs the power of the Commander level.

And that person, Xu Ziling actually already has a candidate...

[Marshal of Xianzhou·Hua]

The first person under the patrol, who can dispatch the Xianzhou Alliance with a wave of his hand, and command the terrifying existence of the six generals of Xianzhou. With such a personality, the strength of the marshal must not be weak.

And judging from her name, she is a well-known actress of the Mi family, and she will definitely enter the card pool.

The reason why I didn't use the limited card pool opening opportunity given by the system before to draw it out now is because it's not just the God of Disaster who is holding back a big move... Xu Ziling also wants to hold back a big one for the other party.

Just imagine, when the God of Disaster comes to the world again in the future, what expression will the other party have when I throw "Life and Death!"? That's really exciting.

After finishing his analysis of his current strength and card drawing in his mind, breakfast was almost ready. After Xu Ziling served all the breakfast porridge, he took off his apron and went to call other people in the institute to have breakfast.

…

At the same time, on the other side.

"Hey, Wendy, today's breakfast is a local snack in Shenzhou - Jianbing Guozi!"

In the cafeteria of Mucheng No. 1 High School, Ling handed Wendy one of the two Jianbing Guozi she had just bought and said,

"The college entrance examination is coming soon, so don't eat sweet foods like cakes. Let's finish eating early and go back to the library to review our lessons, right?"

"Yeah."

Wendy nodded and took the Jianbing Guozi handed by Ling.

Zhuhuo 4, end of May.

More than a thousand days and months have passed since Wendy joined Mucheng No. 1 High School and became friends with Ling.

Nearly three years have passed. Ling has grown from a 16-year-old girl in the first year of high school to an 18-year-old girl, and Wendy has also grown from 14 to 16, which is the age when a girl's heart is purest.

After three years of companionship, Wendy has long regarded Ling as the most indispensable part of her life. Even if she does nothing, as long as she sees her best friend staying by her side, Wendy can be very happy.

Those who have never experienced loss will not understand the joy of having it again.

Of course, the same person has done the same thing, and that assistant teacher Xu, who has also taught Wendy and Ling for three years, although... that assistant teacher Xu seems to have taught them nothing except radio exercises in three years... but assistant teacher Xu is a physical education teacher, so this makes sense.

And Wendy can also feel that assistant teacher Xu, like Ling, sincerely wants to lead her to a brighter future. Maybe the starting point is different, but now they are undoubtedly people who really want to be good to Wendy, which makes Wendy very happy... really happy.

"By the way... Wendy, Wendy, after the college entrance examination, what major do you plan to study in college?"

After breakfast, on the way back to the library to review, Ling asked Wendy while holding her small schoolbag filled with snacks.

Wendy straightened her pure white school uniform. Facing Ling, Wendy thought for a moment and said:

"I want to... study a major related to film and television entertainment."

"Eh???"

Ling was confused and hugged Wendy's arm and asked in Wendy's ear,

"Why? With your grades, Wendy, continuing to go from science to scientific research should be able to better demonstrate your self-worth, right?"

"Well... how should I put it... I think the path of scientific research is not missing me..."

Wendy scratched her face, then smiled with relief and said,

"Engaging in scientific research and promoting the progress of human civilization... those are too far away from me. Compared to those, I want to grasp every bit of my current life, record it through film and television, and pass it on to more people, so that more people know our experiences and understand our feelings... well, it's that simple."

As she said that, Wendy gently pushed Ling away from her, and then made a camera gesture with her hand, framing Ling in her "camera" screen.

Seeing this, Ling immediately posed and said with a smile:

"Then I will reluctantly sign up for the same professional route as you! You will be the director and I will be the actor. We will make a movie together, telling the story of... um~ the story of the protagonist 'Lingruno Lingbana' who holds on to his golden dream and eventually becomes a gangster boss in seven days. How about it? Is this theme novel?"

"Okay~"

No matter how weird the theme Ling proposes, Wendy will be willing to agree to it. Anyway... their movie doesn't need extra audiences from the beginning.

"By the way... Ling."

Wendy walked and walked

, suddenly grabbed Ling's wrist.

"What's wrong?"

Ling asked.

Wendy took a deep breath and then said:

"After graduation, I want to chase the direction of the 'wind'... Would you like to go with me?"

"Okay!"

Ling agreed without thinking, and then patted her small chest that had already taken shape, and said,

"It just so happens that my eldest sister also said that I can't stay at home all day, I have to go out more... Oh~ Anyway, I'm an adult, I think, why wait until I graduate from college? After the college entrance examination, we can go on a trip as soon as we say it!"

Seeing this, Wendy's eyes widened slightly, and then turned into a heartfelt joy and smile.

Perhaps because she didn't want her friends to see her too excited, Wendy quickly turned around, nodded with her back to Ling, and said:

"Yeah."

But how did that sentence go?

Some wishes, from the beginning of their birth... are destined to be unfulfilled.

[亻尔女人]

"......?"

Hearing the strange voice that suddenly came to her ears, Wendy glanced around in confusion. There were only her and Ling around.

Is it because Ling and I have been reviewing homework intensively recently... am I hallucinating?

"Wendy, what are you doing? Come here!"

In a small corner of the library, Ling has already taken her notebook and review materials... and of course a lot of snacks, ready to work hard.

"I'm coming."

Not taking the strange voice in her ears to heart, Wendy walked quickly towards Ling.

Seeing this, a certain existence lurking in the dark also scratched his head in disbelief, as if thinking about whether his voice was so easily ignored?

But He quickly reacted, shook his head, and leaned into Wendy's ear again, whispering:

[Hey... my child... [Wind], don't you remember me? I'm your mother, is it really okay for you to ignore me like this? ]

However, Wendy only regarded His voice as an illusion.

She could even calmly flip through the review materials, and explain some test questions that puzzled Ling with a smile.

Her attitude of not taking the voice of the Honkai God seriously at all was a good interpretation of what it meant to "turn a deaf ear to the outside world and read the books of sages with one heart"

[……]

[Okay…you forced me to do this…]

As this ethereal voice with a little headache fell, Wendy, who was still explaining the test questions to Ling in the last second, was enveloped by a dazzling white light in the next second——

……

"……?"

Wendy suddenly woke up from her dream, but everything she saw made her mind stiff again.

"What do you feel!"

The girl pulled Wendy's arm and raised it high, smiling and saying,

"There is wind here!"

"...?!"

Seeing the blonde girl holding her arm, Wendy's pupils contracted sharply, and then she lost her voice,

"...Totoli?!"

Totoli...that's the name of the little bird.

"It's me!"

The blonde girl put down the arm that was holding Wendy, and then scratched her head in a strange way, asking,

"What's wrong...Why do you feel so flustered, Wendy? Did you think of something?"

Ignoring the girl's words, Wendy turned around abruptly and looked away.

The bright moonlight, the long night reflection of neon lights, the shouts of street vendors and the high-rise buildings overflowing with splendor...This is Button City...

To be precise...Button City that has not been destroyed by the disaster...

Have I...returned to the past?

Or... my memories of the three years in Mucheng... were just psychedelic dreams? And now that I've woken up from the dream, all my experiences in the past three years have disappeared? ! !

"Wendy... what's wrong with you..."

The blonde girl noticed Wendy's abnormality, and a worried look appeared on her face. She came over and asked,

"Are you feeling unwell? Should we go find mom and dad? They always have many ways to solve problems that we can't solve."

"Dad...?...Mom...?"

Wendy seemed to remember something, and then a severe headache came to her mind, and she fell to the ground directly due to the stimulation.

The blonde girl wanted to help, but was pushed away by Wendy. With an unbearable headache, Wendy lost her voice:

"No... No... You are not Totoli at all! Mom and Dad are no longer here... This is not the world I want at all! Who are you? Why did you steal her face?!!"

"Tsk..."

Seeing this, the blonde boy

The female "Totoli" clicked her tongue, and then said disdainfully,

"Did you notice it... Never mind, it doesn't matter."

Then, "Totoli" half-crouched down, stretched out her hand and pressed Wendy's forehead.

Wendy noticed that "Totoli's" dark golden pupils, which were originally as gorgeous as roses, were still shrouded in a creepy white light at this moment.

Then, "Totoli" grinned and smiled:

"Let you recall it for a while... [Wind]... Listen to my call... I am your 'mother'!"

"Mother... Huh?!..."

The severe headache came to her mind again, and Wendy was in so much pain that she could hardly control her body.

Seeing this, "Totoli" showed a satisfied smile on her face, and "she" was about to get closer... However, the only response to "her" was a kick.

Caught off guard, "Totoli" was kicked out by Wendy.

Wendy seemed to be surprised why her power suddenly became so great, but now was not the time to think about it. She bit her tongue hard, using her more painful body to cover up her severe pain in her mind. Looking at "Totoli" flying backwards, Wendy, who was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, gritted her teeth and said:

"Mother...you...are not worthy! You stole Totoli's appearance and tricked me into this strange space...what on earth do you want to do?!"

After being kicked, "Totoli" showed some helplessness on her face, and then she didn't get up, just lying on the ground and said:

"I'm just fulfilling the responsibilities of a 'mother', I just want you to be 'happy'...it's that simple!"

"With Ling here...I'm already very happy! I don't need your extra intervention!"

"Tsk..."

The girl's voice fell "Totoli's" body dissolved into a pool of blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a strange pure white figure appeared on her body... That figure... had the same face as Wendy...

"You little brat... Your brother really led you astray... Forget it, it doesn't matter. The children's game should be over."

As he spoke, the pure white figure raised his arm, and colorful lights appeared in his palm. He said calmly,

"Don't think my behavior is incredible... It's stupid to speculate on your mother's thoughts with a child's thinking, or... According to your thinking, you can just treat me as a 'lying adult'..."

"What? You...!"

Before Wendy finished her words, the pure white palm pierced through her chest.

Blood spurted out for a while, and the pain of being pierced almost made Wendy lose consciousness.

In the remnant of consciousness that was about to die, Wendy saw... "He" was holding her... like a "mother" holding a child...

Then, He spoke.

He smiled and said

"Reason, Space, Thunder, Ice, Death... [Wind]... I lent you all their abilities... Do you like this childhood gift I gave you? My... good child..."
