Time in a collapsing world

"..."

Yaeri touched the violet in his hair and tried to take it off, but Kallen held his hand, preventing him from moving, so he had to give up.

When she came out of the flower shop, Karen had already picked up a large bouquet of packaged flowers. In addition to violets, there were some other kinds of flowers. It seemed that she had specially selected flowers of different colors.

"Li, look forward to it. There are so many flowers. I will make a wreath for you personally. Sakura, Rin and Sister Theophile will all have a share~"

Kallen walked briskly, her face filled with excitement and anticipation. There was no trace of the dejection and guilt she had felt when she invited Yaeri out before. Now she was just an ordinary girl who liked to go shopping with her friends.

Yae Ri was also looking at her with a smile, until the two of them walked out of the street and came to a crowded square, his smile faded slightly.

"What's going on over there?"

Kallen was a little curious and wanted to move closer. However, she was holding a flower in her hand and was worried that it would be completely damaged if someone squeezed it, so she had to look at Yae Ri for help, "Help me, Mr. Ri~"

"..."

Yaeri wanted to say that he was not omnipotent and that she shouldn't ask him for everything...but unfortunately, in the past few years, whether it was Kallen or her sister, they all relied on her to some extent.

After all, who would say no to a guy who can do almost everything like Doraemon?

Yae Li protected Kallen, and Kallen protected the flower, and the two slowly squeezed through the crowd to the front. Kallen did not notice that her shoulder would clearly touch other people's bodies many times, but it would strangely pass through them when she passed by.

The same went for Yaeri. He didn't hide like a little fool like Kallen, but walked forward with her naturally.

Sometimes people behind saw their bodies "embedded" in other people's bodies, rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and when they looked again, the two had disappeared in the crowd.

Yaeri and Kallen came to the front of the crowd and saw a red-haired girl wearing a mask giving an impassioned speech. She held a rapier in her hand and criticized the evil deeds of the Savior Organization.

"They stalk like poisonous snakes and devour like hungry rats!"

"Unbridled indulgence for one's own benefit!"

"This greedy tyranny disregards the lives of the people!"

"I, the righteous man with the sword, will cut the throat of your cult!"

"..."

Kallen's curious expression froze instantly. As an adult, she naturally knew who the girl was criticizing and why she was criticizing her.

Karen had mixed emotions in her heart. She knew that the Destiny organization was not perfect in the eyes of many people, and some of its actions were indeed worthy of criticism. However, she herself was also a part of Destiny, and her mission and responsibility forced her to stand on the side of the organization.

Yaeri sensed Kallen's hesitation and uneasiness, but said nothing. She just patted her shoulder gently, conveying comfort and support.

He knew that Karen was a person with her own beliefs and sense of justice. She would not be easily shaken by other people's words, but she also needed time to think and judge.

The red-haired girl continued her speech, and her words became more and more passionate, attracting more and more people to watch. Some people in the crowd cheered, some applauded, and some began to shout slogans against the Mandate of Heaven.

However, this scene was soon broken. Guards and knights rushed in and instantly pinned the girl on the stage to the ground. They also wanted to arrest her in the name of protecting Tianming's reputation.

The red-haired girl was unwilling to give in. Even though she was being pinned down, she still shouted loudly, her voice filled with anger against injustice.

Most people were dispersed, leaving only Kallen, who was watching the scene with wide eyes, and Yaeri, who had no choice but to accompany the girl beside her when she saw that she would not leave.

I have to find a way to save her!

Kallen thought so in her heart, and she didn't want to watch the other person being captured by the people of destiny. In a hurry, she didn't ask Yae Li for help immediately, but suddenly saw the black eye-covering mask that the red-haired girl threw off when she was pinned down lying on the ground not far away, and she immediately had a bold idea.

Yaeri hadn't meant to get involved, she just watched Kallen pick up a mask and then run into the alley next door without calling her name.

After waiting for a few seconds, a familiar girl in ragged linen ran out again, with a black mask covering her face.

Under Yae Ri's helpless gaze, Kallen rushed towards the guards, shouting:

"stop!!"

The guards turned their heads and saw Kallen in disguise, "Who is it?!"

Kallen didn't answer, but jumped up and landed in the middle of the guards, where the red-haired girl was pinned down.

Not daring to delay for a moment, Karin was also afraid that her identity would be exposed and would bring unnecessary trouble to her father, so she temporarily knocked down the guards around her with a few punches and two kicks, picked up the red-haired girl who had not yet reacted, and ran into the alley outside the encirclement, shouting things like "I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"

The guards wanted to chase her, but Kallen disappeared in a flash, so they could only retreat in frustration.

Now only Yaeri was left on the field. After confirming that the guards had indeed left, he slowly walked towards the direction where Kallen had escaped.

At the same time, in the alley a few hundred meters away, Karin was running nervously and looking back, until the girl in her arms spoke, she braked suddenly and stopped.

"Hey! You took my mask!"

"I'm sorry, I'll give it back to you now!"

Putting the girl down in her arms, Kallen immediately took off her mask and handed it to her.

The red-haired girl stared at Kallen's fair face for a long time before slowly turning around and waving her hands, "No more, you've made it all dirty."

"Eh?"

"You are the audience member of my show before, right? You lost the flowers in your hand in order to save me, so this should be considered as compensation... or a thank you gift."

"..."

Kallen's originally flustered mood became happy again, and she waved happily at the red-haired girl's receding back, "I forgot to say just now! I really like your speech, I will come to see it again next time!"

The red-haired girl didn't answer and disappeared around the corner.

"call……"

After taking off the sackcloth on her body, Kallen held the mask and grinned foolishly. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder and she felt all the hairs on her body stand up.

She threw a punch subconsciously, and the powerful force instantly cracked the stone wall behind her. At a distance close to the small fist, Yae Ri, holding flowers in her hands, tilted her head and looked at her speechlessly.
