Collapse: The World I Live In

When the matter was over, the Fire Moths came to Dusk Street and surrounded the entire sanatorium.

Qianjie was taken away with special handcuffs, and Aponiya did not resist and let the people from the Fire Moth take him away. In the end, the decision of the top leaders of the Fire Moth was to temporarily lock him up in the "Deepest Place".

Our protagonist Yi returned to the Fire Moth, lying on the experimental table, and Mebius was examining him.

After the examination, Yi stood up and took the hot towel Klein gave him and covered his eyes. Yi always felt that his eyesight was getting worse...

"How is it, Doctor? What's the result?" Yi took off his towel and looked at Mebius and said.

"Well... your myopia has worsened again..." Mebius looked away from the medical report and looked at Yi and said, "It seems that you have to use your eyes less in the future... otherwise you may end up blind."

"Really?" Yi thought for a while and said, "I will, Doctor." Then he left the laboratory table and prepared to start the next work.

"By the way, what about the masked man?" Mebius asked, "You and Sakura have both come into close contact with him and even fought with him. Can you tell anything?"

"That Senjie?" He heard the name from Aponia. "He's very powerful. He can use fire anytime and anywhere, and can even break the defense released by my eyes. He's enough to rival Kevin... and he can survive being stabbed in the heart... but his mental strength may be weak. If Sakura and I hadn't reacted quickly and defeated him before he used all his strength, I might not be able to see you, Doctor." Yi shrugged and said. Yi probably didn't know the effect of Tsukuyomi himself, so he thought it was just an illusion that was more powerful than the ordinary illusions he usually used. He didn't know how much damage this illusion would do to Senjie, which led to Qianjie remembering Yi firmly later.

"Really?" Mebius touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "This is for you. It happens that Alicia will need to find the two people you brought back for something, so you can go with her and get me some of that man's blood." After saying that, he threw a syringe to Yi.

"Yes..." Looking at the syringe in his hand, Yi could only nod in agreement.

……

"By the way, Alicia... why are you going to look for them two?" Looking at Alicia jumping around beside him, Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Guess?" Ai Lixia turned her head and looked at Yi and said.

"..."How could Yi guess this? "You wouldn't go to find her just because one of the two of you is a beauty..." Yi guessed based on Alicia's character.

"Well~ you guessed well, but this is just one of the reasons~" Alicia nodded and said. Yi didn't expect that his random guess was actually correct, but the reason was really... hard for Yi to accept.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, I went there this time to rescue them." Alicia stated her main purpose.

"Rescue? Why?" Yi asked puzzled.

"That's because they didn't commit any big mistakes, and wasting their precious time in such a dark place is torture for everyone~" Alicia spread her hands and said.

"Have the top management agreed with your approach?" Yi felt that what Alicia said made sense, but he didn't dare to believe that Alicia could convince those stubborn top management.

"Of course! Who am I? I am Alishia, who is as gorgeous as flying flowers. There is nothing that Alishia can't do." Alishia said here with her chest puffed out and proudly said.

"How did you do it?" Yi asked curiously, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Alicia was really an amazing woman who could do such a thing.

"Of course, it's to appeal to their emotions and reason." Alicia said, with her hands on her hips and looking up at Yi.

"Haha..." Yi chuckled in his heart. Forget it. It's not good to always pursue other people's secrets. This is not the behavior of a gentleman.

"Okay, we're here." Alicia stopped and looked at the building in front of her and said to Yi, "We're going in next."

Yi nodded and followed Alicia.

……

The deepest place, just as its name suggests, has no light at all. The only source of light is the faint light emitted by the lamp in Alicia's hand.

The key point is that it is so quiet in here that it makes people feel cold. Yi can only hear the "click, click, click" sound of Ailiya's high heels, and nothing else.

Yi just followed Alicia, and when he was about to get closer, he suddenly heard a conversation.

"Forget it, Qianjie, you can't get out..." An ethereal voice reached the ears of Yi and Alicia. Yi knew that the voice was that of the previous nun, Abonya.

"Tsk!" Qianjie clicked his lips and stared at Abonya, his eyes seemed like flames were about to come out of it. He said to Abonya, "Abonya! Why didn't you stop those people! Everyone in the sanatorium is dead!" If Qianjie's hands and feet had not been entangled by special chains, he would have punched Abonya long ago.

"I'm sorry... Qianjie, this is all destined... I'm sorry..." Aponia said with her hands clasped together. Aponia was in much better condition than Qianjie. The Fire Moth team members saw that she was just a nun and did not handcuff her, so Aponia and Qianjie were separated by an iron railing.

"Aponia! You..." When Qianjie was about to continue talking about Aponia, Alicia interrupted, "Hi~ Hello, it seems I came at the right time."

"Who are you?" Qianjie turned his head and looked at the bunch of pink hair in front of him, and his anger rose.

"I'm not a thing..." Just when Alicia was about to say that she was nothing, she stopped. This sentence didn't sound right...

"..." Yi couldn't help but admire Qianjie for asking good questions, and Alysia's silliness.

"Sorry, ma'am, I apologize to you on behalf of Qianjie. I am Aponiya, and that is Qianjie." Aponiya stood up and said.

"Get out of here, Aponya! I don't need you to do this!" Qianjie said mercilessly.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. My name is Alicia, you can call me Aili~" Alicia said with a smile.

"I've finished introducing myself. Now it's time to tell you your purpose, Alicia." Yi walked forward and said.

Only then did Qianjie see Yi's appearance clearly. He immediately became furious and struggled frantically with the chains, shouting, "It's you! Die!" As he spoke, flames were still coming out of his body.

"I advise you not to do this, because..." Before Yi could finish his words, Qianjie was punished. The chains that locked him felt the temperature rise and immediately released cold air to extinguish the flames and freeze Qianjie to death.

"I told you not to get angry. The higher your temperature is, the lower the temperature of the cold air it brings will be." Yi shook his head and said.

“Damn it…” Qianjie clenched his hands unwillingly and smashed them to the ground, feeling sad for his own incompetence…

“Okay, okay, let’s talk business first.” Alicia came between Yi and Qianjie and said in a roundabout way, “Abonya and Qianjie, there are two paths before you now. One is to stay in this place forever and never escape. I personally suggest that you don’t choose this. After all, in this kind of environment, it’s very difficult not to go crazy. The second is…”

"Joining the Fire Moths and dedicating your power to them may be the best choice for you..." Yi spoke before Alicia. Alicia turned around and looked at Yi with a pout, indicating that she was unhappy. Yi looked at Alicia's expression and had to wave his hand to indicate that he would not interrupt.

"Just like Yi said, I went to the top management specifically to fight for this path for you. I personally suggest this is the best way, so what do you choose?" Alicia looked at Yi's actions, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Aponia and Qianjie and said.

"Can I ask you? Why are you doing this for us..." Aponya asked.

"Because I think you shouldn't waste your time in this group place. You have more meaningful things to do." Alicia said with a smile.

"Really?" Aponiya nodded and said, "Well... I agree. But if possible, please let me stay here..."

"Ah... why?" Alicia was obviously dissatisfied, "It's so nice outside, what's the point of being here?"

But Aponia just shook her head, because as soon as she arrived at the Fire Moth, the higher-ups had come to find her, suspecting that she knew about the Fire Moth's foundation, but how could Aponia know, she was just a nun who had never left Dusk Street. However, those higher-ups still gave Aponia the title of "the mastermind behind the Honkai disease incident" on the grounds that they had asked her many times without success. So Aponia knew that even if she went out, those higher-ups would arrange for people to assassinate her. Therefore, the Deepest Place was a safe place for Aponia, and she did not have the self-protection ability like Qianjie.

"Well then..." Alicia said disappointedly, but soon recovered her spirits and said, "Then I will come to see you often, Aponya. What about you, Mr. Mask?"

The strange name appeared again. Qianjie thought about it and said, "I agree too."

"Very good!" Alicia nodded with satisfaction and then untied Qianjie's restraints. The moment he untied the restraints, Qianjie exploded and punched at Yi, hitting the target and knocking Yi away, shocking Alicia who was standing aside.

"This punch is to pay you back! Humph!" After the fight, Qianjie said again with his hands behind his back.

"Pah." Yi spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't help thinking that he had taken the punch for Ying. He stood up and said, "There is one more thing you need to do."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Qianjie said unhappily.

Yi walked up to Qianjie, took out a needle and stabbed it into Qianjie's neck. In an instant, the needle was filled with blood. Yi also took back the needle and said, "All right."

"You bastard!" Qianjie was reminded of what happened in the small town before after his blood was drawn. He became furious and decided to punch Yi again.

"Oh, oh, oh~ Please let it go for my sake~" Ai Lixia hurriedly came in front of Qianjie, blocked Yi behind her and said.

"Hmph!" Qianjie had no choice but to give up.
