Do you think this world is serious?

"Of course! Senior, as a 'volunteer police officer' of Canghai City, knowing the city's routes like the back of your hand is a basic skill."

Himeko tilted her chin up slightly with a hint of pride, showcasing the vigor and liveliness of a 19-year-old girl.

Chen Xiuming reached out and hugged Ji Zi's slender waist, causing her body to stiffen subconsciously, but she returned to normal after a moment.

The thin clothing could not completely block the warmth of Chen Xiuming's palms, allowing Ji Zi to clearly feel the warmth emanating from her waist.

Even though the temperature wasn't high, it felt like she was in contact with a scorching hot iron, causing her body temperature to rise slightly.

"senior……"

Himeko twisted her waist a little uncomfortably.

Although this motorcycle is limited to carrying two people, it seems that it was not designed with male riders in mind from the beginning. The seating area is small, which makes it a bit cramped for Chen Xiuming and Ji Zi to ride together.

The already intimate posture between the two became even closer because of Himeko's twisting waist.

However, to outsiders, it was clear that Ji Zi had deliberately adjusted her position to make her posture with Chen Xiuming more intimate.

Upon seeing this, Yuexia Chuyong, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately took out a dark red giant axe as tall as a person, while muttering "the cat that steals fish".

If Kallen hadn't stopped her, she might have pounced on Himeko already.

Karen finally managed to calm down the agitated Yuexia Chuyong, only to see Himeko already driving Chen Xiuming out of the city. She then pulled Yuexia Chuyong along and followed closely behind.

The motorcycle was going very fast, but it was Himeko's first time driving a motorcycle, so she didn't dare to ride too fast, which is why Hatsune and Kallen were able to follow at a distance.

The motorcycle emitted a deep roar, and the gentle night wind howled sharply in response.

The surrounding scenery rushed past, eventually shrinking into a single point behind us.

……

Half an hour later, the motorcycle gradually slowed down and eventually stopped beside the beach road.

Himeko had intended to end the ride with a cool drift, but considering that the motorcycle belonged to Karen and she wasn't confident she could pull off a perfect drift, she abandoned the idea.

"Senior, please remember to give me a five-star review!"

Himeko revealed a sly smile, and casually hung her helmet on the rearview mirror.

Chen Xiuming chuckled, placed the helmet on the seat, and gazed at the sea not far away.

The sea is beautiful during the day, but it also has a unique charm at night.

Although the stars in the night sky were dim, their brilliance seemed to reappear in the reflection of the rippling sea, a magnificent and dreamlike spectacle.

"Hey-"

Himeko deftly removed her boots, revealing her fair, delicate feet, and then joyfully stepped onto the beach, heading straight for the nearby waves.

"Hey senior, don't just stand there—it's just the two of us on the beach now, so let loose and don't worry about being seen!"

Chen Xiuming sighed helplessly and then stepped forward to catch up with Ji Zi, but he did not walk barefoot like Ji Zi.

Although Himeko was completely unaware, Chen Xiuming knew that Moonlit Embrace and Kallen had never left and had been following behind the two of them the whole time.

Furthermore, Kiana and Janna from the End of the World also accompanied Chen Xiuming closely.

“My dear Xiuming, you could really consider indulging yourself for a while.”

Janna's gentle voice echoed in my ears.

Chen Xiuming shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice, "There's no need for that, but we can consider bringing Maria and the others to the beach tomorrow."

Rather than indulging in his feelings, he was more looking forward to seeing Maria, Angela, and Delta in their swimsuits.

In the end, Kiana gazed quietly at the distant sea, her golden eyes reflecting a completely different scene.

The seawater is no longer azure, but instead has been imbued with a deep, beautiful color resembling the starry sky.

This world bubble has long been on the verge of extinction. The "barrier" separating it from the quantum sea is riddled with holes, and it has no chance of being reincarnated again. It may not even last until the world bubble restarts.

This can be seen from the vast ocean.

The quantum sea is seeping into this world bubble, and it is estimated that many quantum shadows have already entered this world bubble and are hiding in the deep sea, waiting for the moment when this world bubble completely sinks into the quantum sea.

Janna stood beside Kiana of the End, stretched comfortably, and let out a soft, pleasant groan.

“The Quantum Shadow… I haven’t even tasted what the Quantum Shadow is like yet.”

Janna's words pulled Kiana back to reality, and she subconsciously looked at Janna beside her.

"You can eat the Quantum Shadow?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be okay, right?"

"..."

Kiana fell silent at the end.

Although Quantum Shadow looks similar to most Honkai Beasts, it is not a Honkai Beast in essence.

If Janna rashly consumes the Quantum Shadow, she may not only fail to regain her power, but may also suffer unknown effects.

"During these two trips carrying Xiu Ming through the World Bubble, my main body captured the power of the Quantum Sea. Although it was very weak, there shouldn't be any problem consuming the Quantum Shadow."

Janna smiled and explained, dispelling Kiana's doubts.

Kiana nodded slightly and instantly appeared beside Chen Xiuming, continuing to follow him silently.

Janna smiled gently. Unlike Kiana of the End, she did not appear directly beside Chen Xiuming. Instead, she walked five or six meters behind him, looking at Chen Xiuming and Kiana of the End with tender eyes, while humming an ethereal ballad once more.

Himeko walked with light steps, leaving messy footprints on the beach.

Although the footprints would be washed away by the sea in a moment, she still enjoyed leaving behind a mess of footprints.

Chen Xiuming followed Ji Zi closely, but did not venture into the areas washed by the sea, while his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the distant horizon.

He could perceive what Kiana and Janna could perceive, but due to his weaker strength, he couldn't perceive it as clearly as the two girls. However, he knew that the world bubble was riddled with holes, and that there were even many quantum shadows swimming in the sea.

Chapter 146 The Restless Quantum Shadow.

Chen Xiuming is not a native of this world bubble, which is why he is extremely attractive to the quantum shadows that invade the world bubble.

Actually, it wasn't just him; Maria, Angelia, Delta, and Anila, who stayed at home, were also very attracted to the Quantum Shadow, but there were no Quantum Shadows in Canghai City at the moment.

Chen Xiuming's appearance at the seaside at this moment naturally attracted the quantum shadows swimming in the sea like a hot commodity, causing them to subconsciously move towards the seaside.

The sea, which had been gradually rising, suddenly became turbulent, threatening to turn into a raging storm.

Seeing this, Himeko immediately lost all interest in continuing her sightseeing.

"Senior, something's wrong. Let's leave first."

Ji Zi frowned and immediately pulled Chen Xiuming away from the beach.

Chen Xiuming did not resist Ji Zi's actions, and followed her step by step as she left, silently watching the increasingly restless sea.

Although the quantum shadows that invaded the world bubble were spontaneously approaching this beach, they were all relatively weak quantum shadows and could not pose a threat to Chen Xiuming.

The truly powerful quantum shadow is not yet able to penetrate the "barrier" of the world bubble and enter this soon-to-be-extinct world bubble.

Or, to put it another way, when the powerful quantum shadows ventured into this world bubble, it meant that this world bubble had completely sunk into the quantum sea.

Before Chen Xiuming and Ji Zi could leave the beach, some quantum shadows couldn't hold back any longer and leaped out of the sea, crossing a distance of more than ten meters, and landed heavily on the beach.

"Senior, be careful!"

Ji Zi's expression turned serious, and she instinctively shielded Chen Xiuming behind her.

As she habitually reached for the greatsword she always carried on her back, she belatedly realized that she hadn't been carrying any weapons during her investigations over the past two nights.

One after another, the quantum shadows in the sea leaped out of the water and landed on the beach, immediately surrounding Chen Xiuming and Ji Zi.

"You must know how to ride a motorcycle, right?"

"will not."

Whether in his past life or this one, Chen Xiuming has never ridden a motorcycle.

Although he could easily learn to ride a motorcycle by simply copying the example, these menacing quantum shadows clearly wouldn't give him the chance to learn.

Furthermore, these quantum shadows are not strong enough to make Chen Xiuming avoid their sharp edge.

The reason Chen Xiuming didn't act immediately was that he was considering whether to ask Kiana of the End to help him call Maria, Angelia, and Delta over.

After all, the three girls have been mostly staying at home these past few days, rarely going out shopping or taking walks. Now is a good time to invite them over for some activities.

In addition, Delta should be able to devour the Quantum Shadow, but the Quantum Shadow's corpse cannot be preserved for too long, so it cannot be taken back for Delta to enjoy at her leisure.

"Kiana, could you please call Maria and the others over here?"

"it is good."

Kiana's words were concise and to the point; she did not press Chen Xiuming for his thoughts.

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from Chen Xiuming's side and instantly appeared next to Delta.

Delta was slightly taken aback when she saw Kiana suddenly appear, then immediately stood up, and five pairs of almost transparent insect wings appeared simultaneously.

Although Kiana hasn't said anything yet, she already has some guesses.

"Something happened to Xiu Ming?"

Even if she didn't believe that anything could harm Chen Xiuming under the protection of Kiana, it didn't stop Delta from speculating about the worst-case scenario.

Kiana shook her head slightly and said, "Xiu Ming encountered the Quantum Shadow and asked me to call you over."

"The Quantum Shadow... I think it's delicious?"

Delta had only glimpsed the silhouette of the Quantum Shadow during her first journey through the World Bubble, and knew that it was a delicious resource she had never tasted before.

However, she has never had the chance to come into contact with the Quantum Shadow, so she has never been able to taste its flavor.

Upon learning that Chen Xiuming had encountered the Quantum Shadow, she immediately became restless and urged Maria and Angelia to prepare to depart.

Maria and Angelia hurriedly changed their clothes, while Delta paced back and forth anxiously.

Anila poked her head out from under the sofa and asked, "Sister Delta, do I need to go meow too?"

Delta glanced at Anila and said thoughtfully, "You stay home and look after the house."
