Time in a collapsing world

In the morning, Li opened her eyes from bed and rubbed her dizzy head. It was really strange. Is this dream still continuous?

The first dream is about the encounter between a girl and a boy, and the second dream is about the separation between a girl and a boy. So, if there is a third dream, what will it be like?

After the third time, will there be a fourth and fifth time?

Li was looking forward to this. After all, this strange dream was not just a fantasy, but a reappearance of his lost memories before. Moreover, this time the dream became more and more clear. The pink-haired girl and the black-haired boy were just the same. At one point, he could see the girl's face.

"Huh... forget it, wait until next time."

Li got out of bed, got dressed and walked out of the room. He first glanced at the room belonging to Alicia on the second floor, but there was no movement.

But this is not because Alicia is not awake, but because she is not at home.

It had been three days, and he hadn't been home for three days. If he hadn't called Mebius to confirm that Alicia was still in the Fire Chaser, he would have thought that this guy was killed while on a mission. Which Honkai beast was eaten?

Li came to the living room, put a bowl of instant noodles on the table and soaked it with hot water. He sat stupidly at the table, living a life like an ordinary young man living in a single apartment. The only difference was that he Lived in a villa.

I don’t know when Alicia will come back. This guy hasn’t been home for three days in a row. Li is really not used to it. It feels like the whole villa has become much colder.

Just when Li was thinking this, someone knocked on the door.

Alicia?

Li jumped back and forth in an instant, and arrived at the door in just the blink of an eye, opening the door with anticipation.

"...Li."

Kosmo greeted him outside the door.

"It is you……"

Li's expression quickly fell.

"?"

Kosmo felt that maybe he shouldn't come today. He didn't understand why Li looked disappointed to see him.

But he came today just to convey a message.

"...Dr. Mei asked me to tell you that you can go pick up Captain Alicia."

"catch?"

……

Following Kosmo and re-entering the Fire Chasing Moth's base, Li looked around as he did when he first arrived.

It seems that, after all this time, not much has changed here...

Of course, the soldiers became more vigilant towards him.

Even within a short distance, Li found that there were no less than a dozen eyes staring at him closely, for fear that Li would do something outrageous.

How should I put it... This was the first time he was treated like a terrorist, and Li wasn't too nervous. It was just a surveillance, letting them see that there would be no missing pieces of meat.

"By the way, Kosmo, do you know how Apponia and Qianjie are doing now?"

"...Dr. May said they were safe."

Although Kosmo only knew Qianjie and not Aponia, and had no idea why they were related to the Fire Chaser Moth, Mei told him that if Li asked about it, just tell him so.

"Really? That's good."

Li just nodded and dropped the topic. As long as he got the news, it was not that he was afraid that the Fire Chasing Moth would be detrimental to them, but that there would be problems with their own condition.

After all, unlike me, they were able to adjust their mentality very well. When they last met, Qianjie still looked autistic and hated him, and Aponya was still trapped in the cage of guilt, unable to extricate herself.

In this bad state of mind, Li Zhen was afraid that they would do something stupid because they couldn't think clearly.

"...Here we are, Captain Alicia is inside."

Kosma's voice brought Li back to her senses.

Just as he was thinking wildly, they had arrived in front of Mebius's laboratory, and this was where Alicia was currently.

"Aren't you still going in?"

Arriving at the door of the laboratory, Li turned around and asked Kosmo.

Kosmo shook his head.

"Although I can understand why you are so afraid of Alicia and Mebius, there is a saying that the best way to eliminate fear is to face it. You should try to contact them more."

Kosmo shook his head wildly.

"Okay, maybe this is still too difficult for you..."

Liya felt that this was a bit too much. After all, even he couldn't handle these two people until now, let alone Kosmo? This guy looks like a shy little boy even when he's with other girls.

"Then you can try to get along with ordinary girls first. Mebius and Alicia... just become the final boss, right?"

"……it is good."

Kosmo hesitated for a moment and nodded, but it was not that he was convinced, but...

(Li suddenly became very verbose. Is it because he hasn’t talked to anyone for a long time? I really want to refuse... But what if Li still won’t let me go? Forget it, let’s just deal with it casually for now...)

Knocking on the door, Li Xue was smarter this time, so as not to score twice and the last accident would happen again this time, Mebius might not really let him out of the laboratory intact.

"Come in."

Mebius's voice came from inside.

Opening the door, Li saw a scene very similar to the last time. Mebius was standing in front of the operating table, and Alicia was half sitting on the operating table. But the difference was that this time Alicia After getting dressed, something about her body seemed to have changed?

"Ah~ Li, are you here to pick me up~?" Alicia turned her head and saw that the person coming was Li, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Alicia, have you forgotten what I told you before? You'd better not move around just after the surgery. You haven't adapted to the current changes in your body yet."

Seeing Alicia looking like she wanted to get out of bed immediately, Mebius snorted and reminded her.

This guy's luck is really good. He was able to survive after fusing a Honkai beast of that level. You know, just before Alicia, all the people who tried to fuse this Honkai beast have now... On the road to reincarnation.

"Alicia...your ears?"

Li's eyes were fixed on Alicia's ears, and this was the only part of her body that Li could see that had changed.

Alicia's ears are no longer in the shape of human ears, but have become long and pointed, like elf ears in fairy tales.

Li walked over and reached out to touch her ears, as if to see if this was true or not, but was slapped away by Mebius.

"Guinea pig, don't doubt it, it's true."

"what?"

"It's just the same side effects as Kevin."

"...Super transformation surgery?"

"Correct."

Li frowned. He didn't expect Alicia to be undergoing such a dangerous operation during the three days she had been missing. If he was not lucky, he might not be able to see this quirky girl in the future.
