Kevin, Alicia, and Fu Hua arrive at a small village that is not noisy and is located on the edge of the enveloping area of the "canopy."
This place is the boundary that was devoured when Hen led a team to investigate nearby not long ago.
To be honest, it is actually somewhat inappropriate to use the word "not noisy" to describe the current local situation.
Because here there is much silence, if not for some footsteps, almost everything would have been audible.
But undoubtedly, a place that is too quiet.
At that moment, the three perked up their ears and could not even hear the wind.
"Unfortunately, it's a bit difficult."
As the three walked together, Fu Hua looked down at the position of her left wrist, where she wore an exquisite retro-style mechanical watch.
If you look closely, there are several gear-shaped ornaments on the surface of this watch that are no longer useful except to spin on their own.
This is an interesting gadget given to her by some "greatest magician of this century (self-proclaimed)" before the three departed.
It is equipped with a small-scale portable Honkai energy detection device, combining remote communication functions with fact-finding functions.
Most importantly.
According to the statement given by the inventors: it should… be able to withstand the consequences of a Ruler-level battle without suffering damage?…?
To be honest, the last, "Did you do it?", is really difficult to stretch.
But those are the exact words of the person involved.
"Ay~"
Fu Hua sighed helplessly again.
At present, the three can no longer contact the outside world and it is suspected that their communications are completely cut off by the boundary of the "canopy."
The main function of this device, the scanning function that locates the Herrscher's position, is no longer useful.
Because, within this "quiet courtyard," everything is filled with collapse energy that produces irregular changes in energy level at all times.
Logically speaking, if ordinary people live in this environment for a long time, they will not be able to escape and will 100% suffer the impact of Honkai.
And even, probably just that same day, that unsettling purple streak on the body.
Soldierization of death.
However.
"Kevin Kevin, look."
Alicia clapped the young man with white hair at her side with her backhand (?) On the "shoulders," "there's someone there."
"And… a lot of people came."
In fact, it is not necessary for Alicia to remind them.
Kevin and Fu Hua, both Ying Jie-level fusion fighters.
Especially the former, after dedicating himself to the "Project Chimera," his strength is the only one that in the end is powerful.
So, the senses of both Kevin and Fu Hua are quite sharp.
And precisely because of that.
"Those people, something is wrong."
At that moment, Fu Hua did not enter into an artificial collapse state. She did not even change her hair color. She only relied on the bonus of the armor "Knight of Shadows · Lunar Wheel" to set up a stance against the enemy.
The "Sacred Judge of Heavenly Fire" in Kevin's hands has been confiscated from beginning to end.
Only Alicia… Longbow, although it is her best and favorite… she considers it the most elegant and charming weapon, has a variety of attack methods and does not have to stick to it.
At this point, two pink-purple crystal flowers float around her, ready to depart, beautiful and dangerous.
In this state.
"stepstepstep~"
As unsettling as the silent environment around them, the sound of overly orderly footsteps rang out.
In this small village, it was as if some sort of demonstration had suddenly been held and hundreds of residents had gathered at the same time.
In turn, Kevin, Alicia, and Fu Hua are surrounded in the middle.
"You say, are they welcoming us? Or not welcoming us?"
Alicia whispered.
"Of course you are not welcome." ×N
Hundreds of local residents spoke at the same time "no one would welcome the evil guests who broke into their homes" ×N
Kevin and Fu Hua immediately frowned.
This situation.
""I'm leaving, who is the law of knowledge?""
In Fu Hua's mind, Xiao Shi's complaint sounded: "Why can someone play this trick nowadays?"
Hearing this, Fu Hua did not respond.
Kevin, however.
"Can you communicate with us normally?"
His gaze, quickly sweeping over everyone around.
Subsequently, it soon became clear that all the local residents' eyes glowed red.
And when he asked about it.
"Normal communication? Oh~"
One of the middle-aged male residents sneered "under the banner of communication, and then cut me with a sword?"
"Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
".
Kevin was speechless.
The other seems to have misunderstood him.
He basically wanted to ask: Why do you still retain a clear self-will?
Uh~ Well, this kind of question sounds a bit like insulting people without thinking.
However.
"Do our era's Herrschers also have the opportunity to regain their humanity?"
Kevin glanced at Alicia from the side… In his heart, such doubts flashed.
Of course, he knows that even the Herrscher in the original historical trajectory is not a mere killing machine.
They also have the wit to know how to deceive people.
Once upon a time, because of his good heart at a critical moment, at the end of the "Sixth Collapse," the death toll was millions more.
That made him regret beyond measure.
In short, Kevin will not take it lightly.
But, to be honest, the Herrscher's performance at this moment is somewhat strange.
She… it should be she.
She doesn't seem to have the idea of exterminating all of humanity, but is somewhat like a toothless wolf pup that does not allow outsiders to approach her territory.
This time.
"Can you really communicate with us normally?"
Beside him, Alicia suddenly spoke: "If we could, we would prefer to solve the problem through dialogue."
At that moment, a desire developed in her heart.
This desire is not something superficial like "姛" or "face control."
But… It seems that just because she was accidentally born from the "Cocoon of the End," she actually longs for "the same kind."
Same kind.
Therefore.
"My name is Alicia, and I gave myself my own name, which means 'happy land.'"
Alicia investigates and asks questions, while expressing her kindness.
She looked around, "Can you tell me your name?"
".
The surrounding residents do not say a word.
Alicia still waited patiently.
Finally.
"I have nothing to tell you."
This time it is evident that it is no longer the "puppet" who sends messages on her behalf.
It was a pretty short-haired girl, who came out from among the crowd.
She is accompanied by phantom butterflies and purple-black fluorescent flowers fluttering.
It seems that this body is not yet fully formed.
It is temporary.
"Leave, outsiders."
The short-haired girl said coldly: "I don't need to know you, I only hope you won't bother me again."
"Otherwise.
Her eyes were cold "if you had cost me something precious, I would have let you experience the same pain mercilessly."
"Don't force me!"
