The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Da-da-da, da!"

Mikael's footsteps stopped about three or four meters away from the door of the bedroom assigned to Mei by Shencheng Medicine.

It was not due to external interference that prevented Mikael from moving forward, nor was it due to any hesitation in his heart. It was just that from this distance and angle, he could already see the person falling from the window, then passing through the spacious bedroom, and then through the large hall. The open door let in the meager morning light on the corridor.

By the way, there is also the sound of wind flowing, the light sound of dancing curtains, and the sound of birds that is particularly obvious in winter.

These sounds were mixed together, overwhelming the sounds of human breathing and heartbeats in the room. The unique moist smell of early morning in the breath carried by the wind also overwhelmed other sounds. At least, it was impossible to smell Mei Yi in the first place. the smell.

"Are you leaving?"

After staying in place for only four or five seconds, Mikael took another step.

So what if I leave? Anyway, it doesn’t take much effort to catch it back, you just need to allocate some energy to teach the raven a lesson.

Besides, always make sure.

Step by step, he walked to the door of the room and turned around in an almost mechanical manner. To his surprise, Mei was kneeling on a chair, resting his elbows on the window sill, resting his head on his hands, and half of his head sticking out of the window. Silently, he looked outside at the rows of tall buildings and the viaducts that intertwined between the buildings like streams.

Mikael silently walked behind her, gently pressed the back of the chair with his hand, and then turned his gaze to where Mei was looking.

The front and back of the building form an airtight screen after all. The building of Shencheng Medicine is actually not very tall among the buildings in Tianqiong City, so you can’t even see the mountains on the edge of the city further away. You can only see At the top of the "screen", a color like runny egg yolk melted in the sky.

"You woke up so early, aren't you sleepy?"

Mikael squeezed out a yawn, as if he thought this would make him appear more humane and get closer to Mei Yi.

"Did I fall asleep..."

Meiyi turned her head and rolled her eyes at him angrily.

"If someone knocks you out with a sap, you won't be knocked out for long."

"Ah, ha... yes."

Mikael pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his hair, and swallowed back the "Why didn't you take the opportunity to try to escape" that he almost blurted out.

But after getting along for a long time, not to mention that he no longer needs the power of consciousness to see through Mei Yi's heart, and even Mei Yi can do the same in reverse.

"What's the point of running away? This is your territory... I think it's better to save some strength."

"Ah...it seems that you have also learned the rules of survival in my place. Although there is always a feeling...that I am like a villain who trained you step by step until you are like this..."

"Is not it?"

Mikael turned his head away, thinking it would be better if he didn't speak.

surrender! Give up!

Mei Yi's brows suddenly relaxed to both sides. She closed her eyes tightly, adjusted her expression slightly, and then asked:

"Stop talking about me, what about you? What did you do last night? Could it be..."

Seeing Mikael's eyes looking over, she explained softly and calmly:

"Actually, I woke up very early, around three o'clock...it didn't seem like I woke up on my own, it seemed like there was some noise or vibration that woke me up. When I opened the window, some hot air blew in, over there …”

Meiyi pointed out the window in a general direction.

"I always feel that the sky over there is very bright, as if it's on fire, but the neon lights in the city originally made the sky look like crimson. I can't tell the specific situation from too far away, so I want to go out and look for it. You were stopped by a woman in a cloak who seemed familiar somewhere, saying that you had to go deal with something and you weren’t here.”

"Well……"

Mikael smacked his lips and made a mouthful of unknown meaning.

In a sense, this is also a classic sign that a person is ready to lie.

But he didn't do it in the end. After all, it wasn't something that needed to be concealed. It would have taken a lot of saliva to explain it, but if it was an already boring situation, this could be considered a way to kill time.

However, he was still very thirsty so early in the morning. Before he said anything, Mikael looked for a cup in the room and planned to moisten his mouth. But unfortunately, Raven didn't seem to be very good at taking care of people. He didn't even give him a bottle of mineral water. Mikael turned his head and saw that Mei Yi's lips were also covered with dry and cracked white dead skin.

This raven...could it be intentional...

Although it was Mikael's fault after all, Mei Yi seemed to be thinking more deeply and didn't seem to notice that she was thirsty.

"well……"

After counting with his fingers, Mikael found that he had sighed too much recently, and if he continued like this, he would be unable to lift his head up - after all, people can't help but lower their heads when they sigh.

There is blue light flowing on the hand, outlining the shape of the water bottle.

"Na!"

Mikael handed a bottle of warm mineral water to Mei Yi's hand. On the contrary, the bottle in his hand still contained ice vapor.

After taking a big gulp, Mikael let out a sigh of satisfaction, then casually twisted the bottle cap and said softly:

"Don't test me so carefully."

The index finger of his right hand stretched forward, with the fingertip still feeling cool and cold, and gently touched Meiyi's forehead.

Although he didn't use much force, or he thought he didn't use much force, or he didn't consider the sensitivity of the girl's skin to the cold, Meiyi's head still tilted back in resistance even though it was covered by bangs.

"Something did happen last night, and there was indeed a fire. Your feeling is not wrong, but..."

Seeing Mei Yi's nervous expression, Mikael suddenly wanted to deceive her, but when the words came to his mouth, the interest disappeared for some reason.

So, in the end, he still said truthfully with no expression on his face:

"But it wasn't me who did it. It's just that the two people who fought had some special identities. I went to watch and was afraid that they would tear the city apart."

"This city was demolished?"

Meiyi was a little confused. This level of combat power was still unimaginable to her now.

Oh, it’s not impossible to imagine, but the people who have done this in my impression are... the First Herrscher in Berlin, and her Raiden Mei in Changkong City...

"Who is it Kiana?"

"I knew you would be anxious about this, don't worry, the two people fighting were not Kiana... Oh, no, no... Hiss - forget it, let's put it this way, Kiana did go to the place where the incident happened , after all, Tianqiong City Railway Station is not too far away from where she is hiding, and she also rescued a mother and daughter who were almost affected by the battle. The reason why I rushed there was that I was afraid of what she would do impulsively, which would affect her. to my plan."

Mikael sat down on the edge of the bed. He was very frank now, but the impression he left on Mei Yi was really bad, so Mei Yi still stared at his face for a long time, until she was sure that she couldn't find anything wrong at all. Only after seeing traces of nature did he nod his head with confidence.

As for whether she believed it in her heart, Mikael didn't know. He was too lazy to use his power of knowledge to see it, and there was no need to see it.

Besides, based on his understanding of Mei Yi, she didn't know whether she believed it or not.

Believing in something is sometimes not so easy or difficult, especially when belief and disbelief are not as clear-cut as the two words themselves express.

More than three thousand years ago, out of curiosity, Mikael once came to China and wanted to see how China was leading the civilization here.

He saw people burning tortoise shells and animal bones to divine fortune from God and ancestors, and then judging good or bad luck based on the patterns burned on the tortoise shells and animal bones.

This was a necessary step in the evolution of human civilization, but after a few random observations, he found that these humans were far smarter than he thought. They had long summarized the rules from countless firings of oracle bones. Before, you need to use a knife to dig, carve, and drill. When burning, you also need to select branches of a certain tree species. Through these two methods, you can control the good and evil of the texture after firing with a high probability.

After knowing this, do they still believe in the existence of "God" and "ancestral spirits"?

I'm afraid it's hard to say I completely believe it.

But even so, most of them still treat the results of every divination with a pious attitude, relying on this "good or bad" that they can clearly control through their own power to determine the way they treat things.

So you can’t say you don’t believe it, right?

All right……

Mikael patted his head. His thinking had been unusually divergent recently, and he always thought about crazy things when he didn't need to. While reminiscing is a great way to pass the time, it doesn’t feel too relaxing. Moreover, such a long-term inability to concentrate always makes Mikael think of the word "uneasy", which makes him feel a little panicked in his heart.

But I have to think about what I am afraid of in my heart, and I can’t tell you exactly. Maybe it’s just that the time for that dream to come true is getting closer and closer, so I keep thinking about it.

After all, it's always like this before death is described in the book.

"Then...over there...who was it that caused the conflict at the train station?"

Mei unconsciously became worried about Kiana.

Why worry?

Although she extrapolated Kiana based on her own situation, she felt that the other party should be the same as her. The Herrscher's consciousness revealed was not Kiana's own will, but the power of the Herrscher could also be regarded as Kiana's will to a certain extent. Yana's own power... Didn't her Raiden Mei also rely on the Herrscher's power from time to time in the past battles?

Therefore, if there are really so many existences in this world with the same fighting power as Herrscher, Kiana will definitely be in danger...

Although... although she also understands that Kiana is different from her at that time, if she cannot plant the bomb in her heart in time... Besides, is this method really useful? She vaguely remembered that the Third Herrscher once told her that this little trick could not control the Herrscher. She had countless ways to disable the bomb, but she just didn't want to be surrounded by a group of people... Maybe it was because the Herrscher did not fully control her body. It would be better for the world if she were killed before.

but……

but……

She didn't want Kiana to die, but she didn't know whether she had to risk the lives of more people in the world for this.

The moral and ethical education she had received for a long time told her that this was a wrong idea, an absolutely incorrect idea, a twisted and selfish idea...but there was another voice tempting her - it was indeed a wrong idea, but Even though she knew it was wrong, she still wanted Kiana to live...

"Oh... those two people, one of them you know, is the most powerful S-class Valkyrie, Youlandel, and the other is Li Sushang, the current head of Shenzhou Taixu."

"They...are all here for Kiana?"

"So be it."

"But aren't Tianming and Shenzhou allies?"

"Aren't allies meant for betrayal?"

Seeing Mikael say this with a "that's it" expression, Mei was speechless for a moment - is this the world of adults?

But she quickly realized that Mikael's expression... was too serious, and he answered the words too quickly. He even twisted his body slightly before speaking, and there was no doubt that he was joking.

Seeing that his bluff was seen through, Mikael scratched his face, the expression on his face became a little more relaxed, and then he spread his hands, this time he was not joking:

"Doesn't it mean that allies should be in step with each other? Tianming and Shenzhou both have their own ideas. Isn't your previous squad leader Hua the Chiyuan Master praised by Shenzhou? Since she can save Kiana in front of me and bring her here, Shenzhou The attitude is self-evident. But after all, everyone will not fight over this kind of thing, so that it will break the balance of world power and cause social unrest. In the end, it will be the power of mankind to fight against Honkai... However, the Hyperion was once It docked at Freeport Macau in southern China, carried out supplies, and a group of anti-entropy members boarded the ship. Youlandel must also know about this, so she cannot be completely wary of China..."

Mei Yi's eyes gradually became strange. Although Mikael had not finished speaking, she seemed to understand something:

"So what did you do? Let them fight directly?"

"It's very simple. Su Chang arrived one step ahead of Youlandel, so when she found out about Youlandel's whereabouts, she decided to greet her personally. By the way, it was also a kind of 'monitoring'. With a combat power of Youlandel's level, How could she be allowed to enter and leave the country at will? But she couldn’t be too ostentatious. Youlandel came to Tianqiong City in disguise and took a train. If she was welcomed with a big fanfare, it would be unavoidable... I just seized this opportunity and tried to hack it. A few station guard mechas attacked Youlandel at the right time and at the right place."

"It's really... quite insidious."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Seeing Mei Yi's expression of hesitation, Mikael's smile became even brighter:

"What? I can't be angry with you, right?"
