Collapse City, the beginning of the production of the anime version of Collapse 3

Xilin's wish is to live a life of idleness and wait for death.

"Yaqing, tell me honestly, do you really not have any mental trauma?" Mebius said seriously.

"I really didn't, senior sister." Yaqing said helplessly.

Mebius felt that it was necessary to do a premarital medical examination before getting married, not because he was afraid that Yaqing had any physical problems, but because he was worried about the mental problems.

[On the way back to the Helios, Kiana and Mei encountered Benares lying on the ground in pain.

Ignoring Mei's reminder, Kiana walked towards Benares cautiously, reached out and gently touched the wound, using Honkai energy to heal Benares.

Benares offered no resistance throughout.

Kiana felt a little strange. Whenever she saw Benares, she always felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.

With Kiana's help, Benares managed to stand up again, groaned, and then lowered his head and docilely approached the two of them, without any hostility as he had before towards Mei. 】

Xilin looked at Bella who was feeding her in disbelief.

Bella, have you betrayed me too?

Bella kept her expression unchanged and continued to feed Celine.

Xilin soon began to enjoy it.

Forget it, just betrayal.

Kiana looked down on her sister, thinking she had no ambition and was brought down by a simple act of feeding.

If it were her, she would never...

"Kiana, do you want to eat this?" Mei asked curiously.

"Mei, I want it!"

Chapter 256: Mei, you don’t want Kiana to get hurt, right?

[“Kiana, it’s been following you, and I don’t think it wants to leave. Should we… take it back to Helios?”

Mei looked at Benares who was following them closely, as if he was taking a docile puppy for a walk, and spoke hesitantly.

"Ah... Oops, I didn't think of that. But, that red-haired, twin-tailed professor... should be easy to talk to, right?"

The camera turned, and Tesla looked at Mei and Kiana with a strange expression, and complained: "I say, stray cats and dogs are fine, but I have never heard of anyone going out to pick up Honkai beasts and bring them home!"

"First it was the cybernetic human, then the little refugee girl, and now there's a Judgment-level Honkai beast... I guess next time they'll just bring a World Serpent executive to the party?"]

"Dr. Tesla's expression is so funny." Kiana laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "Sure enough, whenever Dr. Tesla appears, he will be very happy."

"Is this considered conquering?"

Theresa asked curiously.

Not only Theresa had this question, many viewers also had doubts in their hearts. Could it be that because Kiana has the core of the power of space in her body, Benares thought that Kiana was Sirin?

Mei suddenly had a bold idea.

Mebius also had some guesses.

[Tesla takes Mei to the conference room and says that Einstein has something to tell her personally.

Mei was excited and happy. She thought the other party had found a way to save Kiana, but she didn't expect that Einstein just wanted to transfer Kiana.

Just like what Raven said, Anti-Entropy had no way to treat Kiana's condition, not even to alleviate it.

And just at this moment, Xiaokong came over. 】

"Ugh."

The audience already had a foreknowledge of the powerlessness of Anti-Entropy, otherwise Mei would not have gone to the World Snake for help in the easter egg of the previous movie.

The movie is halfway through.

Kiana and Mei were in a bad mood, they became less talkative, as if they were thinking about how the plot would develop next.

[Mei came outside the ship and saw Xiaokong.]

Xiaokong excitedly told her that Raven was going to take them away from Changkong, so she wanted to meet Mei and Kiana before leaving.

Mei sends Xiaokong back to the "nest". Seeing the worry on Mei's face, Xiaokong recommends Mei to make a curry for Kiana. With Mei's superb cooking skills, all the unhappiness will disappear.

Mei met the raven in the "nest".

Raven saw from Mei's face that Anti-Entropy was helpless against Kiana, so he leaned close to her ear and said in a soft but sharp voice: "Raiden Mei, the World Serpent wants to make a deal with you..."

"Don't you want to save that girl? Destiny can't do it, and Anti-Entropy can't do it - but the World Serpent can."

"If you are interested in my proposal, come back here alone in two hours. I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll excuse myself for now."

Mei was already confused: "Wait a minute! Explain yourself clearly!"

The heavy iron door closed tightly, keeping Mei out.

"Keep this as a secret between us, and don't tell anyone else. The Lord of the World Serpent will be waiting for you here."

"It always gives me a familiar feeling of my hometown." Ying murmured.

"Really? I don't feel anything." Ling scratched his head.

"Kevin, you wouldn't..." Eden had a strange expression on his face.

"Impossible!" Kevin was very excited when he talked about this, after all, Mei was sitting next to him, "I am devoted to Mei and I have no second thoughts. It is impossible even if we look alike."

Mei blushed a little.

"I haven't said anything yet, how do you know what I'm going to say?" Eden's expression became even more strange.

"Don't worry, Kevin won't fall for Raiden Mei."

Yaqing stood up and said.

Seeing that the screenwriter had spoken, everyone's doubts were dispelled, but a bigger doubt arose. As a pioneer, why would Kevin invite a Herrscher, an ostensible Apostle of Honkai, to join his organization?

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lord Aaron a look.

Bro, you understand me.

Yaqing just felt that although Mei looked almost exactly like Mei, their body shapes were different. Kevin was most likely to like the mature type of older woman, and definitely not the gentle type of girl.

"Destiny is rotten, and anti-entropy is incapable. It seems that I must take the stage!"

Xiaozhi was very excited.

"Xiao Shi, come on, we don't know when your character will appear." Kiana waved her hands, her eyes brightened: "You won't appear until the squad leader gets married and has a daughter, right?"

"Get lost, it's already that time. And how could I be a generation younger than this old antique? It's impossible no matter how you think about it!"

Xiaozhi became even more excited.

[The camera is turned to the Helios. Although several movies have been aired, this is the first time that Kiana meets Tesla and Einstein in the main storyline.

Tesla didn't know how to start, but he didn't expect Kiana to know his physical condition.

When Kiana heard about Einstein's plan to transfer, she first showed understanding and acceptance, but she still had one thing to do, which was to resolve the crisis in Changkong City.

"——Before the disaster happens, I can absorb all the Houkai energy in Changkong City into my body, using the power of the Herrscher of the Sky."

Both Einstein and Tesla were against this approach, but Kiana believed that this was the last resort she could use once things were about to become irreversible.

Moreover, she wanted to stay away from everyone in St. Freya Academy and Mei. In her opinion, all the current situations were caused by her, and she didn't want to see people around her get hurt because of her.

"On countless cold nights, in countless nightmares... I watched her chest being torn apart bit by bit, watched the blood-stained gem fall into my hands... watched her lose her breath and slowly fall into a pool of blood... I... I..."

Kiana could no longer conceal her crying voice.

Tesla couldn't help but step forward to comfort them, saying that the source of everything was the Herrscher of the Sky, and Mei and the others never blamed Kiana at all.

"I know... and that's why I can't accept it...!"

"This is a matter between Xilin and me. I have to end it with her! But I don't want them to be involved in all this again. I don't want to... see people around me get hurt again..."

What Kiana didn't know was that everything she said was heard clearly by Mei who was outside the infirmary, separated by a wall. Darkness enveloped Mei and it was impossible to see the expression on her face.

Only a line of tears passed quietly. 】

The cinema, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became silent.

Chapter 257: The Imaginary Number Tree Theory Surprises the Doctors

The screening room suddenly became silent. Xiaoshi and Kiana, who had been cheerful just a moment ago, became quiet. Xiaoshi cried simply because of the plot, while Kiana cried because she remembered that she had successfully dubbed herself.

The rendering of emotions and the expression of true feelings allow the audience to better feel Kiana's inner struggle and entanglement, pain and confusion. Even Kiana herself cried when she was dubbing this part, let alone others.

"Really."

Theresa's eyes were red. When she heard that Kiana wanted to absorb all the Honkai energy in Changkong City, she felt complicated. She was angry at her for not fighting back and felt helpless. But when she heard the latter part, she only felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Kiana still wants to take it all on her own." As Kiana's teacher, Ji Zi sighed.

"She wants to absorb the Houkai energy of Changkong City. I'm afraid she can no longer suppress the Herrscher of the Sky, so she wants to die together. This will not only stop the World Serpent's Stigma Plan, but also eliminate this hidden bomb of hers."

After hearing Ji Zi's explanation, Theresa looked at Kiana on the screen with pity.

"My silly niece..."

"Aunt, I'm not stupid!" Kiana retorted, whispering in the other's ear.

When she saw Mei shedding tears in the darkness across the wall, Alicia could no longer hold back and hugged Eden tightly, unable to hold back her tears.

Eden hurriedly pulled out the tissue paper that had been prepared on the armrest and pulled out several sheets in a row.

They say women are made of water, but Alicia seems to be made of the sea.

Women are more emotional than men.

Sakura wiped away her tears with a tissue and said, "Although no one was killed, this movie is much more ruthless than the last movie. It directly ripped apart the pain in Kiana and Mei's hearts and presented it to the audience."

Ling didn't understand, she just felt uncomfortable.

Paduo burst into tears and, contrary to her usual behavior, denounced Yaqing as a non-human. Under normal circumstances, Maomao would never dare to say that.

“It’s a dead end.”

Mei sighed.

"I don't know what the little follower can do." Mebius glanced at Kevin.

"That……"

Kevin was just about to say that it would be enough to let Mei become a Herrscher, but he saw Yaqing glaring at him and he shut his mouth obediently.

The audience was still immersed in the tears brought by Kiana's pain. The plot of the movie was still going on, but it did not continue with Kiana and Mei. Instead, the plot turned to Otto.

[“What exactly is collapse?”

Otto Apocalis has been pursuing the answer to this question, but the more he knows, the less he knows, including but not limited to the birth, end, continuation, stagnation, outbreak, and silence of Honkai...

In order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, he put forward countless hypotheses, but they were also overturned by his own hands.

"Now, let's imagine a tree, the tree of imaginary numbers."

Otto's magnetism is like divine voice, making people want to follow his voice and make corresponding movements. 】

Hearing Otto mention the number of imaginary numbers, at different times and in different places, the three doctors of World Serpent, several doctors of Anti-Entropy, and even Otto himself sat up straight.

They wanted to know Otto's conclusions and conjectures, as well as the new theory of the tree of imaginary numbers and the quantum sea.

He asked the audience to imagine that between heaven and earth there existed only a giant tree whose branches and leaves covered the sky and a vast ocean. The ocean wanted to drown the tree, and the tree wanted to swallow the ocean.

The civilization that humans are proud of only exists on the inconspicuous branches of the tree.

Otto had reached the end of science.

“Imagine that imaginary numbers are the starting point of mankind and the new beginning of civilization.”

Otto's understanding of the tree of imaginary numbers surpasses everyone else, and he is only one step away from the truth. His latest theory, collapse, is just a mechanism for the tree to screen and correct the direction of branch growth in the competition with the sea.

Otto understood that humans could not escape collapse and could only move forward, and the answers he was looking for and the wishes he wanted to fulfill must exist in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
