Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[The number of Honkai Beasts born in this Great Honkai is large enough to make the most elite fighters feel horrified. 】

[However...the damage caused by the collapse this time is exceptionally small compared to before. 】

[Honkai beasts in the entire city are gradually being eliminated. 】

[Even though several surrounding cities have become a mess, the final damage caused by the collapse is still unimaginably small. 】

[Because...the Herrscher, who was originally regarded as a great enemy, should show up in this level of collapse, did not notice any trace of showing up in this collapse. 】

[Having learned from the Australian continent, human beings will not be too naive to take chances, but know that the Herrscher born this time is likely to be a guy with extra caution. 】

[In fact, it is true. 】

[The Herrscher who was born quietly is not a super destructive existence with frontal combat, her destructive power is more manifested in other aspects. 】

[It is precisely because of this that after she was born, she did not wantonly destroy everywhere, as if she wanted to persuade the whole world of her existence, but chose to disappear quietly, hiding her existence and acting secretly. 】

[By taking advantage of her unknown identity, it will be more convenient for her to move. 】

[The Herrscher born in the Eighth Great Crash, whose power manifests as the control of consciousness, is the Herrscher of "knowledge". 】

[The appearance of the Herrscher of Knowledge looks no different from that of an ordinary girl, but her malicious scarlet eyes reveal her identity. 】

[The enemy of civilization, the Herrscher. 】

[Born from the eighth Great Honkai, the agent of the Honkai. 】

【She intends to directly use means to influence human consciousness invisibly, so that human beings will change their minds, give up resistance to the collapse, and eventually gradually perish. 】

[Compared to the undisguised actions and simple and rude acts of destruction of the compatriots born before, her plan was originally quite good. 】

【but......】

[When it was actually implemented, she realized that there seemed to be unknown additional interference in the feasibility of her plan. 】

[When she uses her power that can control human consciousness, she can feel the unspeakable sense of stagnation, even if it does not block her actions, it is quite annoying to her. 】

[The Herrscher of Knowledge doesn't know what this kind of thing means. 】

[However, this problem even threatens her plan to interfere with human consciousness on a large scale and lead human beings to self-destruction. 】

【The Herrscher of Knowledge is confused by this, and is trying to find the reason. 】

[In the end, she successfully locked down one of the suspected targets. 】

【She can feel the power of the consciousness attribute that permeates her surroundings. Presumably this is the reason why she was disturbed when she was controlling the consciousness of other people. 】

[Besides, at a location not too far from here, she can detect an existence that is similar in nature to the power that prevents her from modifying other people's consciousness. 】

[The Herrscher of Knowledge, who thought he had found the culprit who hindered him from using his power, immediately went to the place he felt, and wanted to get rid of the person who hindered him. 】

【As long as it can be cleared away, then her own power can be restored to normal——she thought with a natural way of thinking. 】

【And the power perceived by the Herrscher of Knowledge is exactly Teresa who left the "Masquerade Ball". 】

[At this time, even though she has left the "Masquerade Ball", she is still busy fighting against Honkai all over the world. 】

【Like the eighth outbreak of the Great Honkai, she will naturally not miss it, and will naturally rush to solve the crisis here. 】

[However, she regrets that even though there are indeed a lot of Honkai Beasts here, and there are even existences that can cause most human fighters to fight hard, but the most dangerous disaster called Herrscher has not yet appeared . 】

[This situation naturally cannot satisfy her. 】

【Suddenly, her brows frowned slightly. 】

【Teresa turned her head wordlessly, looking behind her. 】

【Standing there is the figure of a young girl with a ferocious smile on her face and madness in her red pupils. 】

【Seeing the other party's appearance, Teresa was silent for a while, and pursed her lips slightly. 】

[The reason for this is probably because of the appearance of the other party that can make her feel a little instant. 】

[It is because she can perceive the identity of the other party, that is Herrscher. 】

[Teresa is very clear about what to do with the Herrscher today—after all, not everyone can personally kill a friend of the Sixth Herrscher and witness the tragic situation on the land in Australia of. 】

【——After coming to this place, the Herrscher of Knowledge was not very happy. 】

[Because she was able to realize that the power that hindered her ability invisibly did not actually come from the person in front of her, but from a farther place. 】

[But it doesn't matter, since you have already come here, then let's deal with the other party directly——]

[The thoughts in his mind have not yet ended, and the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly widened his eyes in astonishment. 】

【Because she saw that instead of showing any sign of retreating, the other party walked straight towards her. 】

[This kind of thing is not surprising, and it is not uncommon for some human beings to be so stupid that they don't know how to be afraid.What really shocked and even terrified her was...]

[From the opponent's body, the dazzling light that suddenly diffused is condensing into a substantial light. 】

【Fuck. 】

【The Herrscher of Consciousness instantly widened his eyes, looking at the sudden burst of dazzling light, his eyes flickered a bit dull. 】

[As a Herrscher who specializes in the field of consciousness, she feels it as a matter of course. This is undoubtedly the power of the consciousness level. 】

【but......】

【Release the invisible consciousness directly, and even turn it into a light that can be seen with the naked eye...】

[Are you kidding me? 】

【Seeing this scene, the Herrscher of Consciousness even had such an idea in his mind. 】

【Could it be that, in fact, I'm not the real Herrscher of Knowledge. 】

[Is it the real Herrscher of Consciousness that modified my consciousness, making me mistakenly believe that I am the Herrscher of Consciousness? 】

[Otherwise, how could such an exaggerated thing happen? 】

[Beside Teresa, the light instantly condensed into a cross with golden chains extending on it. 】

[But in the next moment, her brows frowned slightly. 】

【Because she saw that the figure in front of her who clearly released her presence as a Herrscher suddenly fell down straight and lay on the ground. 】

【"This is—" Teresa, who felt bad in her heart, stepped forward to check, frowned even tighter, and muttered to herself, "Consciousness, has it left..."]

[Although it is also the power that drives consciousness, her usage of consciousness power is basically the realization of the mind, interfering with reality with her own consciousness. 】

[For a direct confrontation in the form of consciousness, defense is fine, but as an attack, it lacks an effective means, unless the opponent's consciousness invades her spirit recklessly. 】

【Obviously, after witnessing the power of his own consciousness, it was impossible for the Herrscher to do such a move that would be tantamount to seeking his own death. Instead, he was so frightened that he dropped his body and ran away in a spiritual form. 】

【"Hope, there won't be any major problems..."】

[Teresa is in a slightly depressed mood. 】

【Who would have thought that the Herrscher I was facing was one whose ability ranged just in terms of consciousness? 】

[Moreover, the Herrscher who is obviously using the power of consciousness will be scared away by the power of consciousness he used. In this case, there is nothing I can do. 】

【...】

【You left your studio and saw a cherry-haired girl sitting on the railing not far away. 】

[Headphones suppress her cherry-pink long hair, and she leans her slightly thin back on the pillar behind her, with a wooden carved lunch box on her lap. 】

[The pair of ice-blue eyes narrowed slightly, their cheeks puffed up slightly, and their expression looked quite comfortable. 】

【"Good afternoon, Sakura." You greet Sakura. 】

【"Hmm, good afternoon, doctor." Sakura responded with a vague voice, then chewed a few times and swallowed what was in her mouth, and greeted you. 】

【Your gaze is on the lunch box on Sakura's lap. 】

[To be precise, it is the rice balls in the lunch box that look uneven in size, some are round, some are oval, and some are even pinched squarely. 】

【"This...is made by your sister Ling?" You asked curiously. 】

[After all, after staying in the "Masquerade Ball" for so long, Sakura has had several opportunities to show everyone her skills. 】

[Occasionally, she will also bring rice balls made by herself to share with everyone. 】

【"Well, Ling made it for me." Hearing your words, Sakura's face, which was originally full of contentment, added a proud smile. 】

[The appearance of these rice balls looks much worse than my own craftsmanship, but as a sister, how can I not like the food my sister carefully prepared for me? . 】

【"Although the appearance is slightly flawed, but the taste is not bad, do you want some?"】

【Sakura never minds showing others how well-behaved her sister is, so she has already handed the lunch box to your place while saying so. 】

【"Then, I won't be polite." You nodded lightly, accepted Sakura's kindness, and specially selected the rice ball that was pinched into a square shape. 】

【You chewed and silently swallowed the rice ball. 】

【"How does it taste?" Sakura stared at you with those ice-blue eyes, she was obviously waiting for your compliment. 】

[For a big sister like Sakura who loves her little sister, praising her little sister Suzu may make her happier than praising herself. 】

[Facing Sakura's question, you hesitated for a while, and slightly considered what you were about to say. 】

【"Well... this hot and fiery smell, I can feel the sisterly love between the two of you from it."】

【"Eh?" Faced with your answer, Sakura blinked blankly, as if she was a little confused about this kind of evaluation. 】

【She thought hard for a while, then looked at your expressionless face, she seemed to realize something, and handed over the water glass in her hand. 】

【Then, speak weakly. 】

【"Uh, the stuffing in this rice ball, shouldn't it be something like wasabi?"】

【You took the water glass and took a sip of water with a blank expression. 】

【"Sakura, your sister really trusts you."】

[I believe you won't beat her up just because of this kind of joke. 】

【"Well." Sakura's face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. 】

[After a few seconds, Sakura spoke again, as if to change the topic, and as if thinking about what she really wanted to ask. 】

【"By the way, doctor, Miss Teresa, she..."】

【She seems to want to ask, but also seems to be worried that her question will poke someone's sore spot. 】

【"She found a path that suits her better, and she decided to go down this path." You spoke calmly, and didn't care about Sakura's inquiries about this kind of thing. 】

【"It's just that her path may deviate from the direction we currently choose."】

【"Have you found a path that suits you better..." Sakura repeated your words, seeming to be slightly moved by this. 】

【Then, she silently put a rice ball into her mouth. 】

[This kind of thing, she always feels, seems a little far away from herself. 】

[Because she found that she seemed to be more used to following the crowd and living a life without thinking about the direction of the way forward. 】

[Because of her own state of mind, she always has an almost respectful view of those who can choose their own path forward. 】

【"Sakura, don't you still have anything you want to do?" You asked. 】

【"There really isn't such a thing as what I want to do." Sakura shook her head lightly, "For me, being able to protect Suzume well is enough, as for other things, I don't have too much to do. idea."】

【"So, I just need to follow your orders, Doctor, because I'm not a person who is good at thinking, so the direction of progress and other issues should be left to someone who is better at this aspect."】

[Speaking of which, Sakura lowered her head slightly, her face flushed, as if she felt a little embarrassed about her answer. 】

【"Obviously the principle of the "masquerade party" is to 'do what you want to do', but I find that the current self seems to have nothing to do at all, just immersed in the present..."】

【"Of course, it could be..." At this point, Sakura propped her face with one hand, with a thoughtful look on her expression, "Doctor, what you want me to do is what I want to do, right?" ?”]

【As soon as the words fell, Sakura seemed to suddenly realize what she was talking about, and her face turned red instantly. 】

["Ah, doctor, please don't get me wrong, I mean, I trust you will not betray my trust, I trust you will never make me do things against my will, I don't like to do, nothing else mean--"】

【"After all, I'm really not good at thinking. My past life has always been driven forward by reality."】

【Sakura hurriedly explained what she just said. 】

【"It's too difficult for me to let myself think about what I want to do..."】

【"Yeah." You nodded lightly, and didn't delve into this issue. 】

【"Speaking of which, Doctor, if it's you, what would you like to do in the future?" Sakura asked, with curiosity in her eyes. 】

【"Me?" You were silent for a moment when you heard this question, and then replied, "I've never thought about this kind of question, after all, I'm not the kind of character who likes to think too much about the future."】
