Collapse: The World I Live In

"Mom, open your mouth." In the hospital, Yi was feeding his mother.

"Hmm~ You're worthy of being my son, it's so delicious~" Yi's mother held her face with both hands and made a sound of enjoyment.

"Mom, you're not a child anymore, can you please stop doing such childish things?" Seeing his mother like this, Yi said helplessly.

"Why, don't you like it?" Yi's mother asked, "Also, you haven't been back to work for more than a month, aren't you in a hurry to get back to work?"

"No... It's okay. I asked for a long vacation from my boss." Yi remembered that Mobius had called to complain not long ago, saying that if he didn't come back, Mobius and the new junior would die suddenly! The new girl's name was Klein. He had only met her on the newsletter. She had the same green hair as Mobius, but she was small and shy. Alysia also joined Klein as a frequent prankster when she came to the laboratory. But thinking of Klein, who had just arrived and had deep black circles, Yi couldn't imagine what he had experienced in the past few days. Although his junior begged him to come back with tears in his eyes, he should stay at home with his mother. After all, he heard from Dr. Mobius that the potion only needed a few more people to be completed. Now he owed Mobius a big favor. How should he repay it? This is a problem.

"Really? You don't look like what you said." Yi's mother came over and looked into Yi's eyes and said, "You are always like this. You try to solve everything by yourself and always want to take on everything by yourself. I am a capable adult and can take care of myself. Just do whatever you need to do. Cough cough cough~" As she spoke, Yi's mother started coughing.

"Mom, be careful. I'm really fine. Soon, your illness will be cured in a short time. I'll go to work when you get better." Yi quickly stood up and patted his mother on the back.

"I know, I know. I will hold on until you cure me, don't worry." The mother waved her hand, looked at her child kindly, put her hands behind her back, and changed the subject, "You are not a child anymore, when can you bring a girlfriend home for me to see?"

"Mom, what do you mean by old or not? I'm still young! Let's talk about girlfriends later." Yi was a little embarrassed by his mother's question. Although there were quite a lot of women around him, Mobius was a laboratory maniac, Alicia was a "central air conditioner", and Eden was a world-famous star. No matter how he thought about it, it was not possible. Let's talk about it later.

"I never thought that my son is not only a blockhead, but also a coward. If you had confessed to Eden at the beginning, I might have become a grandmother." As a mother, she knew Yi's situation very well. No matter whether it was Eden in high school or Mobius who came to see her with Yi before, she could see their feelings from their eyes. It was a pity that her son was a blockhead.

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Yi's face turned red because of his mother.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go and pick up my lovely daughter quickly. I'm annoyed just seeing a blockhead like youヽ('⌒′メ)ノ" Yi's mother turned her head and gave Yi the order to leave.

"Okay, then I'll go pick up Xi." Yi said and stood up to leave.

After watching Yi leave the room, Yi's mother stretched out her hand behind her back and looked at the blood remaining on it. This blood was not the red color of ordinary people, but purple. Yi's mother looked at the purple liquid, smiled bitterly, and whispered, "It seems that time is running out..." After that, she looked out the window again, watching her son walking away, and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to see the results of your hard work, I'm really sorry." As she spoke, tears couldn't help but fall on her sick white hands.

……

"Xi, will your brother come back to pick you up today?" asked a beautiful woman with purple hair, who was much taller than Xi.

"I think so, Senior Mei, what do you want to talk to my brother about?" Xi asked curiously.

"Well, I mainly want to ask your brother some questions." Mei replied.

The two of them were talking like this, unaware that there was a white-haired man following them. The white-haired man was still mumbling, "Why does Mei always go to find Xi's brother? No way, no wayΣ(っ °Д °;)っ"

"Brother!" Seeing his brother, Xi hurriedly greeted him.

"Xi..." Looking at his sister, when he was about to go over, he saw a purple-haired girl next to Xi. Yi knew that something was wrong. Mei was a genius, a genius that might surpass his own. In the past few months in Changkong City, this girl named Mei had asked him to discuss things many times. At the beginning, he could easily deal with it, but in order not to lose face for his doctorate, he had to study knowledge related to the girl's research late at night, often staying up all night. You let a person who studies biological sciences talk about quantum engineering with you. Isn't this embarrassing for me, Yi? Now Yi is a little afraid of this girl.

"Brother, why are you standing here like an idiot?" Xi came to his brother and asked Yi who was standing there stupidly.

"Hello, Dr. Yi!" Mei also came over and said to Yi. Although this doctor was a doctor in biological sciences, he was still able to solve his own quantum problems. Mei still respected this doctor. They were worthy of being able to stay in the Mobius Laboratory. They were all talents.

"No, don't be so polite. We have known each other for a while. Just call me Yi." Yi looked at the girl in front of him, waved his hand and said, "Then, Mei... do you have any questions?"

"That's right, Dr. Yi, I want to ask..." Mei wanted to say something when she heard what Yi said, but was interrupted by Yi, "Wait, let's go to the cafe, this is not the place to talk."

"Okay," Mei nodded and said.

……

"Dr. Yi, do you think our world is just one of thousands of worlds?" Mei asked Yi.

Hearing Mei asking him a question, Yi thought for a moment and answered, "The world? There must be more than one world." Then, Yi picked up the sparkling water on the table and said, "Just like the bubbles in this bottle of sparkling water, each bubble can be regarded as a world, and the bottom of the water is like the past, and the surface of the water is the future. The bubbles gradually expand during the floating process, which represents the development of civilization, and finally burst. Different from the so-called other worlds in novels, these world bubbles may have the same history as ours, but they may also be other histories. Each bubble has an isotope of each of us, but perhaps some people feel that they are the only individual in this world. I like to compare the so-called world to a leaf. Countless worlds are on this tree. The birth of branches and leaves is the formation of the world, and the falling of branches and leaves is the destruction of the world, but where will the fallen branches and leaves go? It is well known that energy will not be lost for no reason. It will be transferred from one place to another. The energy contained in these destroyed world bubbles will be absorbed by the tree and then new branches and leaves will be born, and so on. "

"Then why do these so-called world bubbles disappear?"

"I think Mobius has told you about the material energy called Honkai."

"Yes, the doctor once told me about this energy, an ability that was born with the development of civilization."

"That's right, so what I can tell you is that Honkai is the culprit for destroying the world. It is the enemy that we humans must face. Those destroyed world bubbles are either because of problems with their own anchor points or the result of Honkai. If we can't defeat Honkai, then the only result for humanity is destruction." At this time, Yi suddenly thought of the ability of the Second Herrscher. The nuclear bomb that was dropped on the Second Herrscher has not been found yet. Could it be that it went to other world bubbles? "Of course, what I said is only one-sided. If you want to truly understand the truth of this world, you can only choose to join the Fire Moth."

"..." After listening to Yi's words, Mei fell into deep thought. Mebius did not tell Mei the specific function of Honkai, but only told her the existence of Honkai.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Mobius may know the specific issues better than I do. After all, I'm just an employee under Mobius. Also, can the white-haired guy over there come out?" Yi said, looking to the side and saw a white-haired guy.

"Kevin, why are you here?" Mei saw that the white-haired man was Kevin.

"mei..." Kevin walked over and said weakly.

"Okay, okay, it's time to go, Xi. Let's leave the rest of our time to this young couple. They are so youthful." Yi said as he was about to call Xi to leave, not caring at all that the two of them blushed when they heard his words.
