Time in a collapsing world

"That's disgusting."

Li didn't even bother to look at the corpse and chased directly in the direction where Eden disappeared.

Judging from the span between the footprints on the ground, Eden must have limped away. He was seriously injured and had to find her quickly.

Rumble————!

Li looked up at the sky. Dark clouds had gathered at some point, and they were so dark that it looked like it might rain at any time.

Trouble, if it rains it will be even harder to find, at least the footprints and everything will be washed away.

Just for a moment, there was heavy rain in the sky, and the whole forest was enveloped in the "crash" sound of the rain.

"..."

Li, who had been rushing forward, suddenly stopped because right in front of him, there were two forked roads, one on the left and one on the right.

Which way to go?

"Big brother……"

"Don't worry, choose one of the two, the probability is 50%, the possibility of being selected is still very high."

Li comforted him casually, and then looked at the ground. Under the wash of the rain, it was indeed difficult to see traces of the weeds being trampled. Eden did not leave any other clues when he was running for his life, so the only way left was It could be a guess.

Time can't drag on for too long... Who knows how serious Eden's injuries actually are. Every second she goes away every night puts her in more danger.

Li moved her long wet hair from her forehead to prevent it from blocking her vision. While Xi waited worriedly, Li suddenly smiled as if she had given up on something.

"That's all, human life is at stake. I don't want to put my boss's life on my own luck, and what happened to Eden was also my dereliction of duty... Xi."

"Ah... yes!"

"I may have to take over more than 90% of your body for a short time. Five minutes is enough, okay?"

"Yes, as long as you can find Sister Eden...!"

"In this case... then close your eyes and take a nap, just like on a helicopter. Every time you close and open your eyes, I guarantee that your sister Eden will definitely appear in front of you."

Li and Xi were facing each other in the sea of ​​consciousness. Xi held her chest with both hands and raised her head to look at Li nervously but firmly, while Li smiled and stretched out her hand, gently covering her eyes.

"Good night, Nozomi."

……

it hurts...

Is the arm broken?

My chest also felt very uncomfortable, I had difficulty breathing, and my throat felt as hot as if it had been poured with boiling water.

The toxicity of the poisonous powder is still spreading. Does it have any other effects on the human body besides damaging the throat?

The sound in my ears...is it rain?

It's raining...it was sunny just now...

Haha... This must be the same as her current situation. Things are unpredictable. How could she have imagined that she would be in such a situation before... No, maybe she has thought about it. After all, she is still very confused now. And he is not confident, just in terms of fighting.

So why does she have to act separately from Nozomi?

Oh... maybe it's because Xi's existence disturbed her judgment. After all, Xi's performance was so good and she could easily defeat the Honkai Beast. This made her wonder if her mission could be completed easily this time. Doesn’t it mean that Xi’s contribution takes the majority of the credit?

Eden doesn't care about merit or anything, the only thing she cares about is whether she can find her own value in this action.

The Key of the Ninth God...it can suppress the emperor-level Honkaiju, but she was easily knocked down, even to the point of dying.

But it should be very easy for a fusion warrior to deal with the emperor-level Honkai Beast, but she... maybe she is really not suitable for the battlefield, even with the Ninth God Key.

Imperial-level Honkaimon is not the upper limit. Above it are the Judgment-level and Herrscher... If I encounter them again in the future, will I be knocked down like today?

Ah... maybe there will be no future. After all, even she herself doesn't know where she has escaped. Even if someone comes to rescue her, it will be difficult to find her in a short time, right?

Xi...Li...

Are they already looking for me?

But I'm sorry...she seems to be...unable to hold on anymore...

Pah, pah, pah—!

Huh? What is this sound?

It sounded like something lapping at the water, or... someone stepping in a puddle.

"...!"

Eden opened her closed eyes like a flashback. Hiding in a tree hole, she looked hard outside into the pouring rain. Her burning throat was trying to squeeze out as much sound as possible.

"Ah, ah...!"

But he could only produce such hoarse syllables. Despite this, Eden kept trying.

She doesn't want to die yet, just like in the fire in Australia, she longs to be saved this time.

Just like a revolving door when a person is about to die, she recalled the scene of everyone gathering together at the New Year's Eve party. Everyone's appearance seemed to flash before her eyes, Kevin, Mebius , Aponya... finally settled on Alicia's face.

This should be everyone...

She has memorized the faces of all the people who attended the party... right?

By the way... Li seemed to have been in Nozomi's body at that party?

It's been so long that she almost forgot what Li originally looked like... Haha, that's weird, how could she forget the gentle and funny Mr. Li's handsome appearance?

The short black and pink hair... his cheeks that are always smiling... and his eyes that often become strange... Huh? Strange...Is the memory wrong?

Why is the Li she sees now...with long blue-black hair...a worried and nervous expression on his face...and his eyes...only one has a strange black and white pupil, while the other has a... As blue as the sea...

"Hey, boss!"

Someone's real call came to my ears.

Isn't it an illusion?

Is Li really here?

Did Li really find her?

Great……

Before Eden closed his eyes again, he vaguely saw the soaked figure squatting down outside the tree hole and hugging her tightly.

At this moment, Eden, who was in a coma, felt a warm current flowing from the other person's body into his own body.

……

In the hotel, Theofel held a pile of books, which she had taken from the leisure room, and they were all novels of the same genre, all about love.

She glanced out the window, and even though the weather suddenly changed from sunny to heavy rain, she only let out a faint sigh of "Ah, it's raining."

"Sister Fei, try my new skills!"

Padu burst in from outside the door and came over with a large plate of crabs.

"I will not eat."

"Hey~ This is something I learned with great difficulty from the chefs. The first thing that comes to mind is Sister Fei... do you really not want to try it?"
