I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

Qin took the fish ball from Ayaka Kamisato's hand, looked up at Ivan's left hand, which was occupied by grilled fish, and his right hand, which was occupied by fish ball, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

She suddenly regretted buying the grilled fish earlier.

Ivan asked, "By the way, where is Miss Ningguang?"

"Miss Ningguang seemed to have taken a fancy to a set of porcelain in an antique shop. When I came over, she seemed to have gone into the shop and was chatting with the owner."

Ivan looked completely bewildered.

"How come there's an antique shop on a food street? I didn't know that... Never mind, that's not important. Let's go take a look. Miss Ningguang is new to China and doesn't know the market here yet. Many antique shops here overcharge. Although Miss Ningguang may not be short of money, every little bit helps..."

Just as the group was about to rush over, Ivan suddenly froze in place.

"Um, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. You guys go ahead, I'll come find you later."

Qin nodded and said, "Okay, then come over as soon as possible."

After waving goodbye to the two, Ivan stood still without moving. The next second, Xiang Feng emerged from the crowd.

Yes, there are actually many security personnel hidden along the entire food street. As important people, Qin and the others would naturally not be without protection when they went out shopping with Ivan. Even if they were strong enough, they might not necessarily need someone to protect them.

Xiang Feng asked, "Commander Yi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ivan said, "Create a quiet environment for me."

Xiang Feng nodded: "Please come with me."

After saying that, Xiang Feng led Ivan into a coffee shop on the side of the street and went directly from the backstage to a room on the second floor.

There were many communication and observation devices placed in front of the window in the room, and two security personnel from the Ministry of State Security were also there. When they saw Ivan enter, the two security personnel saluted Ivan and then left the room. Xiang Feng also closed the door from the outside.

At this moment, only Ivan remained in the room.

With a sigh, Ivan raised his right wrist and said to the bracelet on his wrist, "There's no one here anymore. Come out now."

The next second, a white flash suddenly appeared, and Paimon's petite figure emerged from the bracelet and stretched.

"Ah... this sleep felt like a lifetime ago... Huh? Where am I? What are all these things? Did I really sleep for a century?"

Ivan was speechless.

"This isn't Teyvat, this is my homeland, China... Did you wake up just to chat with me like this?"

"Ah, right, right, I almost forgot."

Paimon slapped his head and then looked terrified.

"Something terrible is about to happen!"

Chapter 440 Omens of the Blue Star Cataclysm

Inside the room, Ivan looked at Paimon with a calm expression.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Hey? Aren't you surprised? Something big is about to happen."

Ivan calmly replied, "Every time you wake up, it's because something terrible has happened. I'm used to it. What? Are you going to go back to sleep after this?"

"Um...hehe...the drowsiness I felt after waking up this time is gone, I shouldn't fall asleep again anytime soon..."

Paimon chuckled awkwardly, but then quickly added, "By the way, this dream is different from before. The place I dreamt of doesn't seem to be Teyvat..."

Ivan frowned slightly: "Doesn't seem like Teyvat? What do you mean?"

"It's...it's..."

Paimon pinched his chin with his little hand, as if he was seriously considering his words.

"It's just a bunch of big, square houses, with lots of reflective glass and crystal on the outside. Lots of metal vehicles are running around on the streets. I've never seen anything like this in Teyvat before..."

Ivan paused, pondered for a moment, then got up and went to the window, pointing to the street outside and asking, "Are you referring to these?"

Paimon floated over, glanced at it, and immediately nodded in surprise, saying, "Yes, yes, that's it. This is exactly what I saw in my dream."

Ivan's eyelids twitched.

Is it really Earth?

Ivan pressed, "What did you dream about? What happened?"

"I dreamt of... lots of explosions, lots of buildings destroyed, lots of people dead... everyone in the dream was insane, and a red aura was everywhere..."

"A red aura? Could it be an aura of destruction?"

Ivan's face darkened.

Could it be that the aura of destruction has invaded Earth?

Before his rebirth, Blue Star had already been invaded and destroyed by the aura of destruction, at a speed that left people speechless.

However, Earth was invaded by the aura of destruction after Teyvat had completely fallen. According to the current timeline, Teyvat has not yet been completely corrupted by the aura of destruction, so how could Earth be destroyed?

Ivan frowned and pondered for a moment.

Paimon's dream prophecies have never been wrong, and their contents have generally come true in a very short time. Therefore, upon careful analysis, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that a butterfly effect caused by certain events led to Earth being fully invaded by the aura of destruction before Teyvat fell.

The second possibility is that in the timeline before Ivan's rebirth, a large amount of destructive energy had already been lurking on Earth. It was only after the complete fall of Teyvat that the destructive energy on Earth fully erupted, which is why Earth was completely eroded by the destructive energy in a very short time. Otherwise, given the technology and strength of the various countries on Earth, it would have been impossible for them to be so easily destroyed without any room for reaction.

Of course, because Ivan was just an ordinary Chinese person living a normal life before his rebirth and did not get involved in these major events, he did not know the specific details and facts of the destruction of Blue Star at that time, and there was some missing information.

But whether it's one of the two situations mentioned above, or both, it means that Earth is about to face a great calamity.

Of course, the good news is that they still have room for investigation and a chance to save Earth.

Thinking of this, Ivan looked up and asked, "Have you seen clearly the origin of this situation?"

"The...source?"

Paimon was somewhat puzzled.

"Let me put it another way. When you see the place where the disaster initially occurred, are there any landmarks or anything particularly eye-catching?"

"Something that catches the eye..."

Paimon pondered for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "That's right, there's a very large human-shaped statue."

"A human-shaped statue? What kind?"

"It's...uh...it's a statue similar to the Anemo statue in the Mondstadt Cathedral, but that statue is much larger than the Anemo statue. It looks like that statue is holding a book in one hand and holding a torch high above its head in the other."

As he spoke, Paimon demonstrated the action. Although the movements made by his small body were somewhat comical and cute, in Ivan's eyes they were like a star exploding.

"The Statue of Liberty in New York City, USA!"

......

Inside a large private hospital on Locke Street in New York City, Country M.

Anderson watched with growing impatience as the doctor across from him sat at his desk, frowning at the medical report. After a long pause, Anderson finally couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, say something! What's going on?"

The doctor adjusted his glasses and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Anderson, your physical examination report is fine; in fact, you're healthier than most people. There are just a few values ​​that are slightly low, which may indicate a slight deficiency in your nutritional intake. However, you only need to make some adjustments and pay attention to your daily diet."

"That's all?"

Anderson frowned and said, "Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? I've been feeling increasingly hot and irritable these past few days. How could I be alright?"

The doctor shrugged and said, "Mr. Anderson, your medical report doesn't lie; all the indicators are normal, unless our hospital's machines malfunctioned. If you don't trust our report, you can go to another hospital for a second opinion. Of course, if possible, I suggest you see a psychologist; I don't think your condition is caused by anything physical."

Anderson clenched his fists slightly on his lap, feeling an inexplicable fire rising within him, but he managed to suppress it with reason.

Anderson's clenched fists trembled as he loosened them, and he stood up to shake hands with the doctor.

"In that case, thank you."

"You're welcome. Daisy, could you see Mr. Anderson off for me?"

After being escorted out of the office by the doctor's female assistant, Anderson stood in the hospital corridor and rubbed his temples.

Since returning from the base in Busan, South Korea, he had been feeling unwell. He had intermittent fevers and his moods were extremely volatile; he was very irritable. A few days ago, he even punched a taxi driver over a one-cent fare difference, and ended up paying a considerable amount of money in compensation.

These symptoms have become increasingly severe over the past two days, even affecting his sleep at night.

At first, he thought it was a skin allergy caused by staying on the island for a month, but after a check-up at the hospital, it seems that it was not caused by an allergy.

"Speaking of which, I wonder how things are going with Bell..."

Bell, who was suspended for six months along with Anderson, also returned to New York City from Washington City. The two of them each had their own place to live, so they hadn't been in contact much in the past two days.

Bell also had the same symptoms as him.

He took out his phone and dialed Bell's number, but all he heard was a busy signal and no one answered.

"Damn it, why isn't that bastard answering the phone? Where did he go...?"

At this moment, another wave of irritability swept over him, and Anderson gave up trying to call Bell's cell phone.

"Fuck, it seems like I really need to see a psychologist."

Feeling somewhat irritated, Anderson put his phone away and left the hospital.

Meanwhile, in the doctor's office, after seeing Anderson off, the doctor asked his assistant Daisy to bring him a cup of hot coffee.

After placing the coffee in front of the doctor, the assistant asked with some curiosity, "Sir, what illness did that patient have? He seemed a bit off."

"It's nothing. The patient's physical indicators are all normal. Perhaps it's just that the recent stress from life and work has caused some psychological problems."

The doctor took a sip of hot coffee, frowned, and fanned his cheek twice with one hand.

"Daisy, do you feel a bit hot in the room?"

The assistant asked, puzzled, "Hmm? Is that so? Maybe the air conditioner is broken. I'll call a repairman to come and take a look as soon as possible."

"It's troublesome."

The doctor nodded, then took off his white coat and placed it on the back of a chair.

"Oh, by the way, could you please change my hot coffee to iced instead, thank you..."

Chapter 441 China High-Level Meeting
