Collapse: The World I Live In

"Where...is this place?" Yi said after regaining consciousness. Feeling a foreign object on his eyes, Yi also realized that he could no longer use his eyes.

Yi tried to break free, but the result was predictable, he failed. At this moment, Yi's hands were chained and hung on the wall, and he was kneeling on the ground.

"You're awake..." An ethereal voice sounded in Yi's ears.

Hearing this voice, Yi knew who it was, "Aponia?"

"It seems you still remember me." Aponya said.

"Where is this place?" Yi asked Aponiya.

"You know, the deepest part," Aponia said.

"The deepest place? No, I have to get out." After saying that, Yi began to struggle, but just as he began to struggle, an electric current passed through the chain to Yi's body, "Ahhh!" When Yi was about to fall down due to the electric shock, Yi found himself falling into a warm embrace.

"Please relax, Yi, you are still injured." Abonya supported Yi and said, her voice made people relax, and Yi unconsciously did what Abonya said.

"Your abilities have become stronger again... Aponia." Yi left Aponia's arms and said to her, "Don't you want to leave the Deep Place? What's so good about this place?"

"…I just fit in here…" Aponia replied.

"You...already knew it, right?" Yi suddenly said.

"what?"

"My destiny..."

“…” Aponiya did not answer, but Yi also knew the answer.

"When we first met, you saw my fate, that's why I said those words. But at that time I said I didn't believe in fate. Now... it's really funny to think about it..." Yi said self-deprecatingly.

"…I'm sorry…" Aponya said.

"You did nothing wrong, Aponya. No one did anything wrong. If you insist on saying who has the problem, it's only mine." Yi said, "It's you who haven't seen me for so long, aren't you going to come out of the depths?"

"..."Aponiya didn't know how to answer Yi. Should she say that she was about to die?

"Is there something wrong?" Yi asked with concern without hearing Abonya's answer. After all, he was the one who brought Abonya back.

"Shouldn't you be worried about yourself now? Why are you still concerned about me?" Aponiya said puzzledly.

"Why so many whys? So what happened? Aponia?" Yi asked again.

"..." Aponya was silent for a while and then said, "I may be dying soon."

“? Why?” Yi was confused.

"Those higher-ups thought I was in danger, so..." Aponya said with a slightly lost look in his eyes.

"Those senior executives again? But threats alone are not enough, right?" Yi said.

"Fusion Warrior...Yi, have you heard of it?" Aponia said.

"You mean..." The answer was already obvious.

"They were going to perform Fusion Warrior surgery on me and were going to let me die on the operating table."

"Can't you see your destiny? Can't you see your future?"

"Well... I never saw my future..."

"..." Yi knew how low the success rate of a fusion warrior was. After all, Kevin was the only fusion warrior now.

Although he was wearing a blindfold, Yi still looked at Aponia and said with a smile, "You have the potential to become a fusion warrior." Yi didn't know why, but Yi believed in his intuition. After all, his intuition had not been wrong so far.

"Why do you think so?" Aponiya looked at Yi in confusion. This young man...or should I say man, had dried blood on the corners of his mouth, but he smiled at her.

"There's not so many reasons. Just assume that I also have the ability to predict the future." Yi said with a smile.

Listening to Yi's words, Abonya couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. If Yi hadn't been wearing an eye patch, Abonya's appearance would have been pitiful. The light dark circles under her eyes did not destroy Abonya's beauty, but instead gave Abonya a melancholy beauty. Coupled with this faint smile, in one word - absolutely stunning!

"Thank you, Yi," said Aponya.

Just as Yi was about to reply, a voice came.

"Ah~ It seems I came at the wrong time?" A pleasant voice came.

There is no need to guess, the owner of this voice is none other than our beloved and super cute Alicia!

"Aili?" Aponia was not surprised to see Alicia coming. After all, Alicia often came to the Deep Place to chat with him before, but today's Alicia was different. What was the difference? Her ears were no longer human ears, but pointed ears like elves, making Alicia even more beautiful.

"Your ears?" Aponya continued.

"Did you notice! Alicia, I'm the second fusion warrior~ and it was done by Mobius himself~ This is the sequelae of the operation, but although it is called a sequelae, does it make Alicia more beautiful?" Alicia came to Aponia, held Aponia's hand, and asked with her face close to Aponia.

"You've always been beautiful, Ellie," Aponya replied.

"Oh~ Aponia, you too~" After saying this, Alicia started to cuddle with Aponia again. This person is still the same, without changing at all.

"Why are you here? Ai Lishiya." Yi asked.

"Ah~ There are other people here?" Alicia said in surprise. She still remembered the grudge of being cast two illusions on herself in a row!

"..." Yi was speechless because of Alicia. He really couldn't handle Alicia! So he chose to skip the topic, "How is Eden? Is she okay?" After all, Yi knew that Eden and Alicia were good friends.

"Hmm~ You didn't even care about Alicia first~" Alicia pouted and looked jealous, but still said, "Don't worry, Eden is very good, even too good. As a result, the Fire Moth is surrounded by those high-level people, which makes it less time for Eden and I to improve our relationship~"

"That's good..." Hearing that Eden was fine, Yi felt relieved.

"Don't you have anything to say to my dear Alicia?" Alicia asked as she squatted down in front of Yi.

"...Long time no see?" Yi asked tentatively.

"Gone?"

"Gone."

With her fists hardened, Alicia grabbed Yi's collar with both hands, shaking it wildly, and said, "You are such an ungrateful man! You are so stupid! You haven't seen me for so long and you say this!"

"Wait, what the hell? How did I become a heartless man?" Yi was dizzy from being shaken by Alicia but still asked what he wanted to ask.

Alicia paused for a moment, then started shaking again, saying, "I don't care, I don't care, you are who you are."

Although Alicia, who became a fusion warrior, did not grow in height again, her strength became much stronger. In addition, she was originally "beautiful and powerful", which made Yi's small body unable to bear it. In addition, he was already injured, so Yi couldn't help foaming at the mouth.

"Aili...Yi seems to have fainted." Aponiya reminded kindly.

“Ah?” Alicia stopped moving, because there was no light in the depths except for the flashlight that Alicia was holding. In addition, she had given the flashlight to Abonya to amuse Yi before and had not paid attention to Yi’s situation. Now that she saw Yi’s situation, Alicia grabbed Yi’s shoulders and shook them, shouting, “Yi! Yi! Don’t die!”

Abonya, who was watching the two of them, couldn't help but sigh that they had such a good relationship~

……

Mobius Laboratory,

Mobius had someone bring all the stuff from Himeko's residence to see if there was anything wrong.

At this moment, Mebius looked at the letter in his hand. This was Himeko's suicide note...

"Danzhu! Come here." Mebius shouted to the side.

"Here I am, Doctor!" Danzhu came to Mobius and saluted him when she heard him calling. "What's up, Doctor?" After all, Danzhu didn't want to offend Mobius. Senior Klein was so busy that she couldn't finish her work. She didn't want to spend her rest time working overtime. There were still many things waiting for her to play! She also had to grab the peripherals of the anime she was following, and try the new flavors of milk tea!

"Take this letter to Hua." Mebius handed Himeko's suicide note to Danzhu.

"Hua? Who is that?" Danzhu scratched his head and said.

"I sent you the photo, you can find it yourself." Mebius said coldly.

"Alas! You want me to find such a big fire moth by myself?" Danzhu almost cried after hearing this. This must be Mebius' revenge, right? It must be!

"Is there a problem?" Mebius glanced at Danzhu and said.

"No...no..." Danzhu suddenly became weak.

"Then go quickly. There will be other things to do after you come back." After saying this, Mebius continued to work without looking back.

Looking at the letter in his hand and the photo of Hua on his communicator, Danzhu felt like crying. How could he find such a big Fire Moth by himself?

The most important thing is that I am a homegirl! I am socially anxious! Why don’t I find Cang Xuan?
