Collapse: The World I Live In

"Well, let's start the round table meeting now!" Alicia sat at a round table, surrounded by Yi, Eden and others.

"What are you going to do, Alicia?" Mobius said, looking at Alicia.

"Of course we are discussing the specific arrangements for the wedding. What else are we doing? Team building?" Alicia said to Mebius.

"But, hasn't Qianjie come back yet?" Su suddenly said.

"Oh, don't worry about him. What does he know about weddings?" Alicia waved her hand and said disdainfully.

“Ah, ha!” Qianjie, who was carrying the garbage on his shoulder and throwing it into the garbage dump, suddenly sneezed and complained, “This is so annoying!”

"Neither of us cares as much about Eden and I's wedding as you do..." Yi couldn't help but say when he saw Alicia's attitude.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not right for you to be like this, Yi. This is a major event in your life, how can you not care about it? How can I rest assured to hand over my good Eden to you?" Alicia said while hugging Eden who was sitting next to her.

"Aili~" Eden looked at Alishia lovingly, as if he agreed with what Alishia said.

"It seems that your biggest rival in love is not Eden's fans, but Alicia." Hen looked at Alicia's actions and winked at Yi.

"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." Yi glanced at Hen and said.

"But Eden has so many fans all over the world. What will they do when they find out that Eden married an unknown person?" Kevin asked at this time. After all, Eden has too many fans, and Yi has been wanted by the Fire Moth before, not to mention the confidentiality of the Fire Moth. Although the wanted list has been cancelled now, he was being hunted by the whole world at that time. Which fan would let his idol marry a wanted criminal?

"Well... let's take it one step at a time." Yi replied. After all, the truth cannot be hidden.

"Actually... I have a question for you..." Eden said, changing the subject.

At the same time, everyone's eyes turned to Eden, waiting for Eden's question.

"Is the battlefield on the front line... scary?" Eden asked. After all, everyone present, except Mebius and his group of experimental personnel, including Aponia and even Pado, had been to the front line.

"Well, for me, it's not scary. I can only say that it's... quite boring, right?" Alicia thought for a moment and answered first.

"As for the front line, I'm not as cheerful as Alicia. It's a hell for me, but for everything I love, I will still stand at the front regardless of my own safety." Hen touched Grayshu's head beside him and said. As the captain of the Fire Moth, his team members have been replaced batch after batch, and the feeling of parting is not a pleasant one.

"Eden, why are you suddenly asking these questions?" Yi looked at Eden and asked.

“Why… I can see that every time the Honkai crash occurs, fewer and fewer people return to the base, and their expressions become heavier and heavier. That… isn’t even a trauma that I can heal with music.” Eden said to everyone, then looked at Alicia, “Even Alicia frowns from time to time, not to mention that Yi almost died before…” Thinking back to how panicked Eden was when he heard that Yi was critically ill. They had only been together for a short time, but now they were going to be separated forever. Fortunately, Yi got through the difficult times.

"Eh? Don't say that, Eden. Your singing can still soothe my heart. Really." Alicia looked at Eden holding her hand and said, "Besides, Yi is doing well now, and you have a happy child."

"That's right, Eden, I'm a fusion warrior now, it won't be that easy for me to die." Yi also said following Alicia.

"Yes, Sister Eden, your singing is the source of my motivation. I grew up listening to your brother!" Desdobia said, although her words were a bit ambiguous.

"The Fire Moth needs your music, Eden," Kevin said to his hand.

"That's right..." Kosmo said just these two words, and everyone present, except Qianjie who was not present, was a fan of Eden.

"Thank you for saying that, everyone. But in fact, I have already discovered that my [starlight] that once belonged to the stage can no longer dispel the haze in people's eyes, and it can't even light up in people's eyes..." Eden said slowly, and her words caused everyone to be silent.

Since the seventh collapse, Eden has been involved in disaster relief work, helping the survivors of the collapse to rebuild their homes. Unfortunately, in a social survey asking "Are you willing to participate in entertainment activities such as concerts, operas, and music concerts?", more than 80% of people chose "no".

It is true that due to the frequent occurrence of collapse, people have less and less time to take care of their entertainment life, and many well-known movie stars and entertainment companies have withdrawn from people's sight. However, it is a miracle that Eden alone has persisted in working for art until now.

Perhaps, as one critic said, "Entertainment will eventually die." In order to survive, people in the future will have to give up all unnecessary entertainment.

But for Eden, art is different. Art will not die. Art is still the crystallization of human wisdom and history. It will continue to exist along with human society. As long as the human era does not perish, human art will not perish.

"You, don't worry about those things. Just be yourself." After a moment of silence, Mebius looked at Eden and said.

Eden turned his head and looked at Yi who was sitting opposite him, then looked at Ailishiya, and said, "Yi, Aili, I have a request."

"Hmm~what?" asked Alicia, and Yi also listened attentively.

"Although this may sound abrupt, but... this is the result of my serious consideration." Eden took a deep breath, as if he was about to step onto an unfamiliar stage in the next second.

Then, she looked at Mebius and said, "I want to wait until I'm done giving birth, so that I can undergo... the super-transformation surgery..."

"What! No!" Yi's reaction was the most intense. He was very clear about the success rate of fusion warriors. Although there seemed to be a lot of Fire Moth fusion warriors now, the success rate of the operation was only 5%. This was the result of Mobius's personal super knife. The success rate of other laboratories could be imagined to be even lower.

"Wait Yi, don't be like this. Eden must have her reasons for thinking this way. Calm down first." Alicia said to Yi to comfort him.

"Why? You have such an idea? You know, the success rate of the operation is only 5%..." Mebius said while staring at Eden.

"Entertainment will eventually die, but art will never disappear." Eden said slowly. Eden has realized that she as a star has disappeared, but there is still room for her to shine in the future.

"Eden, I know you will devote everything to art, but think about the success rate of the fusion warrior! What if! What if it fails! Can you guarantee it?" Yi said excitedly. He understood Eden, but he didn't want Eden to try such a dangerous thing. He knew that he was doing this in an annoying way, thinking that he was doing it for your own good, but he really didn't want to lose such an important person to him.

"I...can't promise..." Eden said silently.

"Since there is no guarantee, don't try it!" Yi stood up and said. Hen next to him quickly held Yi down and signaled him not to get too excited. After all, if it were him, he would not want Blanca to do such a dangerous thing.

"Because you make me feel scared!" Hearing Yi's voice, Eden also shouted at this time. After all, Eden is now a pregnant woman and is very sensitive to everything around her. Her emotions fluctuate greatly, which scares everyone around her. "Do you know how many times you have experienced life and death? Every time I was terrified. I can't be with you on the front line like Kevin and Alicia, nor can I help you like Mebius Blanca and others! The only thing I can do is to pray for you silently by your side! But, is this... really useful?"

"Eden, you know I don't care about these things." Yi said reluctantly as he looked at Eden who was bending over in the chair.

"But I care! Yi, do you know how I feel when I see you covered in scars but unable to do anything? Every time you just rush forward, have you ever considered me? If I don't make this decision, I will never be able to catch up with you! Can't you understand me?" Eden became more and more excited as he spoke, and tears fell on his thighs. Alicia quickly patted Eden on the back. She really didn't expect that the two would have a big fight before getting married.

"I want to, but I can't! I've lost enough! I really don't want to lose you anymore!" Yi said to Eden.

Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, Hen and Alicia pulled them back respectively.

"I think... we should calm down..." Eden looked at Yi and lowered his head again.

After hearing what Eden said, Yi turned around and prepared to leave.

"Let's postpone the wedding..." Eden said again. After hearing this, Yi paused, but he still gritted his teeth and left the Golden Courtyard.

"What's going on? Why is this happening! I'll leave Alicia to you!" After saying that, Hen called on the boys to follow Yi out, while the girls like Alicia stayed behind to comfort Eden.
