Collapse: The World I Live In

"What's wrong, Doctor? Are you missing Alicia again?" Alicia leaned against the wall and said to Mebius on the other side of the communicator.

"Ailisha, there is no time to joke now. Yi is coming to the front line, and the top management has agreed to Yi's behavior." Mobius told Alisha the reason why Yi was coming to the front line, but the first person to express surprise was Hen, not Alisha.

"What? Why is he, a scientific researcher, coming to the front line? Is he trying to kill himself?" Hen questioned Mebius.

"You should change your habit of using the hands-free mode, Alysia." Mebius heard Hen's voice and told Hen about the matter. "So, Yi's safety on the front line is in your hands."

"Don't worry, Doctor. I will bring Yi back intact." Alicia said with the same expression as usual. Then, Alicia hung up the call with Mebius and looked at Hen beside her.

Hen punched the wall hard and said through gritted teeth, "What is that guy doing? He is a researcher, but he wants to be a hero at this time. Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"I'm fine, Hen. I did this to minimize the loss this time." At this time, a voice came from behind Hen. He turned around to see who was coming. He immediately rushed over and grabbed the man's collar, forced him into the corner, and said to him angrily, "Hey, you really came, what on earth are you thinking about! Aren't you afraid of death? This is where our combat personnel are, researchers, get out of here!"

The person who came was Yi. Yi looked at Hen's angry expression, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Hen, facing Honkai is not just a matter for you fighters, it's a matter for the entire Fire Moth! You can go to the battlefield regardless of your own safety just because of an order, why can't I!"

"You're just a researcher!" Hen still didn't want to let Yi go. He didn't want to see his friend go to a dangerous place. That was facing the Herrscher, which was many times more dangerous than those Honkai beasts. "Don't forget that you have someone waiting for you, Yi."

"Then there's someone waiting for you too! Hen." Yi said to Hen. Of course he knew this, Blanca was still waiting for him.

Yi looked at the silent Hen and said, "Minimizing the losses is what I can do, so why shouldn't I do it? I am also a member of the Fire Moth, and I should do my part to fight the Honkai. My action will save those who may be sacrificed in this crusade, but as long as I stand up, they may survive and reunite with their families."

After hearing what Yi said, Hen knew from the beginning that Yi was right. He put down Yi's collar and lowered his head. At this time, Alysia came over and said to the two of them, "Okay, okay, as Yi's friend, Hen should support his decision, right?"

After hearing what Alicia said, Hen looked up at Yi, walked towards Yi, punched Yi's chest, and said, "Come back alive."

"Yes, I will." Yi replied, and then Hen left.

Sometimes you can understand each other's meaning without saying much.

…………

"Are you sure you want to do this? This is not a joke." Himeko said, staring at Yi with her eyes fixed after hearing his plan.

"That's right, Himeko."

"You could die."

"But it's a good plan isn't it?"

"..."Himeko looked at the determined Yi and didn't know what to say, so she said to the people in the conference room, "So, how many of you agree with Yi's plan?"

There was silence in the meeting room at first.

"I agree," Hen said, raising his hand, his voice breaking the silence.

"I agree too." Alicia also raised her hand and said.

As Alicia and Hen agreed, people in the conference room gradually raised their hands.

Looking at the people who agreed in the conference room, Himeko took a deep breath and said, "For real..." Then she looked at Yi beside her and said, "I hate people like you who don't value their own lives the most, so you must come back alive, understand!"

"I will." Yi replied.

……

Yi leaned against the wall and took out the photo he and Eden took under the Ferris wheel. Looking at the smiling girl and his silly self in the photo, Yi couldn't help but smile.

"Ah! What a lovely girl! Who is this? Who is this!" Alicia suddenly came over and said to Yi. Hearing Alicia's voice, Yi immediately raised the photo.

"Hey,,?^?,,,,, why are you talking about this? Let me see." When Alicia saw Yi's actions, she immediately moved closer.

"Stop, stop, stop. Let me show you, let me show you." Yi said hurriedly as he looked at Alisha who was about to stick to him, and handed the photo to Alisha.

"What a cute girl. What's her name?" Alicia asked curiously while looking at the photo.

"Eden, her name is Eden, she's my high school classmate. If there's a chance I'll introduce you to her, you two should be able to get along well."

"Okay, okay," Alicia said excitedly.

At this time, Hen suddenly came over. Alixia saw him and an idea came to her mind. She said to Hen, "Hey, Hen, come here and see Yi's girlfriend!"

"Alisha, don't talk nonsense!" Yi said immediately after hearing Alisha's words.

Hen walked over and looked at the photo. He thought the girl in the photo looked familiar. Suddenly he remembered who the girl was and said in surprise, "Isn't this the popular singer Eden? You know her!"

"Yeah, my high school classmate."

"Are they really just high school classmates?" Alicia asked without hesitation.

"..."

"Who do you think is prettier, her or Mobius (??w??)??" Alicia asked again.

"..."Who can take this woman away? Yi sighed in his heart!

"Okay, Alicia, stop teasing Yi. You know he can't stand being teased." Hen interrupted Alicia and said.

The three of them just sat under the sky, chatting about everything under the sky. Yi felt that he hadn't felt this way for a long time.

At this time, Hen suddenly said, "I've decided. When I return this time, I will propose to Blanca!"

After hearing what Hen said, Alicia and Yi looked at Hen in shock. Yi said, "Although I know that you and Blanca have feelings for each other, you don't have to skip dating and go straight to proposing."

"Actually... Blanca and I have been talking for a few months, but I didn't say it out because I was afraid of Mobius." Although Hen knew that Blanca worked in Mobius's laboratory and knew what kind of person Mobius was, Hen still couldn't help but feel afraid of Mobius.

"Good fellow, you're still having an underground relationship." Yi was speechless about Hen, but still gave his blessing, "I wish you success then."

"Yeah, that's right. I wish you success. Remember to ask me to be your bridesmaid." Alicia also offered her blessings.

"I'm busy with the crusade over there, and you're chatting here." At this time, Himeko's voice came from behind the three of them, "It's time to get ready to board the plane, Yi."

After hearing what Himeko said, the three looked at each other and Yi said, "I know, Himeko."

"You only have this one chance, Yi. Try your best in this one." Himeko patted Yi's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Himeko, we won't fail this time, we will only succeed." Yi assured Himeko.
