Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 12 I will accompany you until the end of the world

Jiang Ming remained silent. After all, this concerned Mei's future.

Jiang Ming's silence made Mei's already desperate expression even worse.

"Am I not even worthy of atonement for the sins I committed that even you...can't?"

"Why didn't you hit me? Why didn't you scold me?"

"Why......"

"Mei." Jiang Ming said lightly.

"Mei, you mean you're responsible for all this? You're the one who made this city like this, right?"

Jiang Ming's expression remained gentle.

"Yes, it was all my fault. I took away the lives of millions of people in Changkong City."

The girl's voice was abnormally trembling, proving that she was in an abnormal mood at the moment, and her body was also shaking slightly.

"Is that so? Then tell me, Mei, why did you kill them? Did you create those white creatures? If possible, can you show me? Also, why do you want to be punished and redeemed now after killing millions of people in Changkong City?"

Jiang Ming's calm words gradually helped Meiyi, who had suffered an emotional breakdown, recover.

"This... This is because..."

Mei didn't know why, but everything that happened around her seemed to be related to her. The lightning that had been entangled with her before, the voice that appeared in her mind from time to time, and... She was the only one who survived in the entire Chiba Academy...

And the voice in her mind even kept tempting her to destroy everything in front of her.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell it? Can't you do it?"

This made Mei even more speechless.

"So, how could Mei, who looks like me and everyone else as a victim, do what she just said?"

"No! It's me. Although I don't know how to explain it, there is no doubt that all of this is caused by me. I am a sinner."

The huge sense of guilt seemed to crush the girl. Millions of lives died because of her. Tears of regret dripped from her purple eyes.

"Tsk, this is difficult. I'm trying to push the blame onto Mei, and Mei is trying to take the blame on herself. It seems my persuasion skills are still too bad. Where have you gone, Paramecium? Mei, do you want it or not?"

Jiang Ming had no choice but to reluctantly lift his head from the black stockings wrapped around Meiyi's extremely soft legs.

Sitting opposite Meiyi, Jiang Ming took Meiyi's hand, but Meiyi suddenly pulled her hand away like a frightened kitten.

Jiang Ming gently took Mei's hand again, and this time Mei did not dodge.

The hands are nice, but also very cold.

"You don't believe it, do you? Well, I can't prove it, but we might as well make a bet."

Jiang Ming put his hands on Mei's hands.

The warm feeling made Mei's body tremble slightly, which also made her raise her head. With her beautiful face, she looked at Jiang Ming with a dazed, innocent, yet charming look.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but stare blankly, his heartbeat speeding up.

"If you are the murderer of this disaster, then you can't just sit there and wait for death, don't escape, you must do something, can't be so negative, you must make up for your mistakes, and make this world a better place. No matter what, I will always be by your side."

The gentle words made Mei's desperate eyes gradually shine.

"Are you trying to comfort me? Mei is not a child, she won't be... moved by you."

"But... hehe, will you always be by my side?"

It’s so good that in this life, I still have someone like Jiang Ming to accompany me... It’s so good.

Without giving Mei more time to think, Jiang Ming continued: "But! If Mei is not the murderer of this disaster, then we can't wait any longer. Find the murderer and bring her to justice. We can't let the lives of millions of people down like this!"

"Isn't he the murderer? If that's the case, Jiang Ming, I can..."

"Besides, judging from the worst-case scenario, I'm the only one who knows that Mei is the 'murderer'. Humph, Miss Mei, you don't want others to know about this, do you?"

Jiang Ming's expression gradually became a little complacent.

Mei's eyes also changed from despair to looking at a...idiot.

Ah, yes, yes, you are right.

The corners of Jiang Ming's mouth twitched. This can be considered as... helping Mei to recover from her despair, right?

"Ahem, how about this? I'll tell you a secret, Mei. It's about me, a one-of-a-kind secret. If someone knows about it, it will bring me death."

Hearing this, a big question mark appeared on Mei's head. She tilted her head slightly. Her cute look made Jiang Ming unable to bear it.

"Hehe, as you can see, my body is almost all covered in blood, right? Oh, it's all dried up."

Meiyi nodded slightly.

"Also, when I saw Mei, I was shaky and looked like I was going to fall down any second. This proves that I was seriously injured, right?"

Mei then took a closer look at Jiang Ming's body. Indeed, he was covered in blood and his clothes were a little incomplete, but...

"But... there aren't any wounds, right?"

Mei nodded slightly again.

Yeah, why?

"Hehe, that's because I have a special ability. This ability can not only help me recover from all the injuries on my body, but also allow me to reach my own limit. How about that, isn't it awesome? Do you want to know where it comes from?"

Jiang Ming's expression began to get carried away again, like a child showing off his new toy, and explained to Meiyi:

Mei fell into deep thought again. Yes, where did such a strong ability come from? I'm really curious!

Very good, it seems that Mei has been distracted by her curiosity about her own abilities, and Jiang Ming takes advantage of the situation to pursue her.

"Actually, this is because there are some voices in my head from time to time. They give me some choices. When I make these choices, then...what's the matter with the way you look at me, from looking at an idiot to looking at a mental patient?"

Mei's eyes twitched slightly, and she even cautiously stepped back a little.

"Don't be like this, it will really make Mr. Jiang Ming feel inferior."

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came to my ears, and when I looked around, I saw three huge white creatures: Honkai beasts.

The two men stood up hurriedly.

Judging from the appearance, two are tank-class and one is assault-class.

"Ding! Tank-class Honkai Beast: The most common, basic-level Honkai Beast unit, slow in movement. The only thing you need to watch out for is its charged attack with high damage."

"Ding! Advance-level Honkai Beast: A very common Honkai Beast unit, small in size, floating in the air. But its wings can launch sharp cutting attacks, so be careful."

'? System, are you showing up at this time because you look down on my understanding of them?'

System: "......Ding! An event has been detected, start options."

[Choice 1: Pull Raiden Mei and run quickly. ]

[Reward: A pair of running shoes (increases movement speed after wearing)]

[Choice 2: Let Mei Raiden leave and stay behind to cover the retreat]

[Reward: One-time attack of Skyfire (same side effects)]

[Choice 3: Fight alongside Raiden Mei]

[Reward: Gain ability: Master the Five Thunders]

"..."

"Mei, take this." He then handed the 19th style pulse sword to Mei.

"Why... help me? They are coming for me, leave now."

"Hehe, how did Meiyi think I got here? Choose to trust Jiang Ming now."
