"Come on, open your mouth, great magician."

Wilvi wanted to explain something, after all, she had thought of countless reasons during the brief moment, but An Yu didn't seem to care much about it, even though it was quite embarrassing!

With many thoughts running through her mind, in the end, when faced with the spoon that An Yu carefully blew on to cool it down and handed to her, Wilvi simply opened her mouth obediently and took her first bite of the day.

It felt like An Yu was taking care of someone for the first time; she was inexperienced but very enthusiastic.

"Are you full? If you're not full, don't be shy or embarrassed to say so. Being hungry is a terrible thing."

Wilvi wanted to shake her head, but she was indeed full. An Yu probably thought she hadn't eaten breakfast, so she got more food than she could eat.

"Let's get down to business, An Yu. I'm not very good at dealing with your personality."

To be formal, Vivi even abandoned the nickname "Little Kid," but seeing An Yu frown, she seemed to belatedly realize her linguistic error.

"What were the circumstances surrounding the previous disaster?"

Her tone was somewhat hasty; Wilvi wasn't going to dwell on the issue of attitude, knowing that An Yu would forget about it on her own in a little while anyway.

An Yu: ...

"I don't know. All I know is that when the Herrscher was born and the Honkai broke out, the city had become a paradise for Honkai Beasts when we left... There probably weren't many survivors."

"Also, I roughly know why we need to eliminate the Honkai."

Even if the Herrschers were driven to the brink by humanity, in order to reduce greater destruction, the only option was to stop the Honkai and eliminate the Herrschers.

Reality is not a game. Just like Mei had a time bomb in her heart in the early stages, you can believe in the Herrscher, but you don't have the right to use other people's lives to believe.

"Of course, you're probably wondering what Honkai is?"

When this came up, An Yu could only shake his head helplessly; he didn't know.

"It is currently classified as a natural disaster internationally, but Sister Mei and her scientists seem to have a different view. I heard that some incredible information was discovered in a certain ruin."

"I don't know any more. After all, I only graduated from junior high school. You can't expect an illiterate person to know these things, even if I don't look ordinary."

There were so many things to complain about that, and for a moment, Wilvi didn't know where to begin. After a long silence, she decided to start with the part she cared about most.

Who are your parents? Why did you only graduate from junior high school?

Regardless of the era, ability is always the most important thing, and the most direct manifestation of ability is academic qualifications.

"Sister Mei is very busy, and I don't want to go to school. The world is in grave danger right now, how can I have the time to go to school?"

"Learning can't save the world."

The main reason is that An Yu estimates that while education is important in the Honkai world, it's not necessary to have one to fight against the Honkai.

Although there's always been talk of "illiterate Herrschers," Mei's education level isn't low; she's about to graduate high school, and yet she doesn't seem that strong.

"Sister Mei... is she the only adult in your family?"

An Yu nodded, even though he had always felt that Sister Mei wasn't much older than him.

However, when I talked to others before, it seemed that everyone assumed that Sister Anita Mui was his sister.

Vervi was silent for a while. She felt that the world was really sick. She was an orphan, and so was An Yu. But these orphans had talents that ordinary people did not have.

"What's your sister's name again?"

"Sister Mei? Mebius, just those four words. I don't know why none of you have a surname."

There were still quite a few flaws, and it took Wilvi a while to realize what was going on.

"Möbius? That evil doctor?"

"To paraphrase Blanca's words, 'the successful come first.' Many people say they don't care, but their hearts are already in turmoil, so it's normal for them to subconsciously slander."

Anyway, An Yu thought it made a lot of sense, because he had never seen Sister Mei's working state, so it was normal for him to think this way, after all, Sister Mei was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

"Who would dare to slander her without cause..." Wilvi's lips twitched. "The powerful come first, but the jealousy in their hearts is pure nonsense."

She had heard about Mebius, after all, she was considered a genius and interesting figure in the circle.

"Nonsense, Sister Mei is always talking about all sorts of troubles, funding, personnel, and issues like identity and human evolution."

Looking at An Yu's serious expression, Wilvi really wanted to explain to her that it was because of Mebius's pride that she refused to bow her head, which was why she was living such a miserable life.

Mebius went to the laboratory to study alone at the age of nine. Although she was eccentric by nature and had different ideas from most people, she still has no fellow practitioners and her reputation is bleak. However, this does not change the fact that she was raised by many old people.

No matter how unconventional or extreme her personality may be, she is still one of the people within the academic clique. The exclusion within the academic community is more about hoping that she can get back on the right track than about censoring her.

You can target her, you can suppress her, but when it comes to her life and safety, she is not alone.

People who betray their own class are not uncommon, but those who disregard the interests of their own group and class are truly rare. So, even though Möbius's direction was skewed, it didn't prevent her from being...one of her own in the academic clique.

As for why An Yu stopped going to school... her academic qualifications are more valuable than those of Möbius's brother.

Chapter 42: Forty-two Days of Waiting

An Yu and Vervier didn't quite click in their conversation. Vervier couldn't understand the image of Mebius in An Yu's mind, and An Yu couldn't understand why anyone would think that Sister Mebius had a powerful background.

But these are all minor matters.

An Yu stayed with Wilvi at the hospital until nightfall when Wilvi felt much better, and then she reluctantly prepared to leave.

Vilvi is in great physical condition. The doctor said that under normal circumstances she would have to lie down for at least two or three days, but Vilvi was able to move around in just one day.

The first thing Vivi did after getting out of bed was to go to the toilet; she was desperate to use it, but with An Yu beside her, she was too embarrassed to say anything.

It hurts, but I can bear it.

The hospital wards have toilets and even shower rooms. Here, Vilvi saw An Yu's clothes covered in blood, which looked like they hadn't been thrown away yet.

Or perhaps the other party simply forgot.

Speaking of which, the other person's physique is really exaggerated.

When she came out, Wilvi was wiping the water off her hands. She looked at An Yu, who was still there, with some confusion.

"What? Do you want to chat with me all night long?"

Actually, she had no objection. She didn't dislike An Yu; in fact, she quite liked her.

"...No, that's not it. Staying up late is bad for your health, and neither is the Great Magician. Go to bed early tonight. I'll give you a phone number. If anything happens, call this number and I'll answer."

As she spoke, An Yu took out a pen she had borrowed from the patrolling nurse and wrote down her home landline number on a piece of paper.

Wilvi was somewhat helpless. Although she had explained many times, the other party just didn't believe in her abilities and was always worried that something might happen to her.

The unnecessary worry, however, did reassure her somewhat in a way. It had nothing to do with safety; it was simply that she felt she wasn't alone anymore.

"Then, Great Magician, do you have QQ? V is fine too. I'll buy a phone on my way back, and we can exchange contact information."

Velvi: ...

She's a bit down-to-earth, but she has it, just not often. She has social media apps from every country.

After taking the paper and pen from the other party and writing down her contact information, Vivi belatedly pulled out her business card from her pocket.

Although she almost never gave them out, she did have business cards.

"Hmm, I won't forget, but double guarantees are definitely safer."

See you tomorrow, Great Magician!

Watching the other person jog away, Velvi remained silent for a while.

I'm alone again.

Leaning against the hospital window, she used her knowledge to estimate the distance from here to the ground floor, divided by An Yu's jogging speed, and then took into account the location and speed of a normal elevator.

A minute later, seeing the figure appear downstairs right on time, Wilvi's face lit up with a smile again. It seemed her knowledge hadn't become rusty after all...

I lay back down in the hospital bed, waiting for my body to recover. About an hour later, a friend request popped up on my phone.

365 days (Status: Awaiting)

Feeling a strange urge to laugh, Vilvi changed her nickname and accepted the friend request.

Looking forward to the future (Status: Waiting)

"Hmm?" An Yu hummed a song softly as she returned home, skillfully handling the pots, pans, rice, oil, and salt.

"Any food you're looking forward to tomorrow? I can only say soft food and porridge."

In the evening, Vivi's dinner was bought from outside. An Yu couldn't be in two places at once, so it was impossible for her to go home, cook, and then deliver the food to Vivi. That was simply not feasible.

Moreover, when he returns home, he can help Sister Mei with some household chores, such as cooking.

"you"

"made"

"It will be all right"

To be honest, An Yuzhen was stunned when she saw the first reply. She had a feeling that the Great Magician had sent it on purpose.

But he wasn't surprised. Everyone has their own little quirks. Just like Sister Mei likes to eat instant noodles and pickled radishes, Alicia likes... she seems to like everything.

So it's understandable that the Great Magician is a pervert. So what if he's a pervert? The great Lord An Yu is still a savior.

With that in mind, An Yu finalized tomorrow's breakfast, which was just one more person's meal.

"Then let's look forward to Lady An Yu's culinary skills."

After taking the time to reply to the message, An Yu continued to focus on today's dinner. However, with the keen sense of a destined person, he still detected the top-level vengeful spirit immediately!

Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Alicia with a dark cloud hanging over her head, staring at him resentfully.

"How great you are, Savior An Yu! You went to do such a dangerous thing all by yourself without calling me, and you didn't even come home for a whole day."

Help! Alicia was just an ordinary girl, and she panicked when she heard about this.

But she couldn't just take Gretchen to the hospital. She finally waited for Hen to come back, but he just fell asleep. Seeing how tired he looked, she couldn't just leave Gretchen with Hen and go see An Yu herself.

"Hmph, saving the world is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I don't have time to invite you to join me. Besides... she's a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason. I can't give her time to develop."

His expression, which was originally somewhat childish, became somewhat somber. In the end, he couldn't accept the loss of so many people, but An Yu had already done everything he could.

There is only one way to prevent such sacrifices: eliminate the Honkai.

"Weren't they supposed to be mutated assassins?"

Alicia leaned against the door, muttering to herself, "The word 'Herrscher' sounds awful, not even remotely as good as 'human'."

"No, that's a Herrscher, a product of the Great Collapse. The reason it was so easy this time is because I was there and stopped her development immediately."

"Damn it, the Herrscher core!"

His expression suddenly stiffened; he had forgotten about it in his haste when Wilvie suddenly fainted.

That's the core of the Herrscher of Reason, the legendary Void Treasury, a key that can copy other keys, and its verification function is said to be unparalleled.

Alicia: ...

"Although I don't know what you're worried about, it's okay, because you're the one who discovered and dealt with it. The body was sent to Sister Mei's lab."

"Also, An Yu, what did you tell me about your ideal back then?"

To be honest, Alicia regretted meeting An Yu. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with An Yu, but he was just too good. It was hard for her to stand idly by. The innocence that had been erased during her travels around the world was almost being rediscovered by her.

"Save the world!"

Alicia nodded her head, somewhat deflated. How could she resist joining this grand ideal when it sounded so appealing?

Moreover, she is much stronger than An Yu.

"How about I join? The team's luck will increase if a pretty girl joins!"

"Aren't we partners already?"

Chapter 43: Forty-Three Marks Withdraw an Agreement

Hmm?

Yes, they are partners now.

"As Alicia's good friend, would you be interested in learning some cool skills from me?"

Alicia is very strong. She learned archery for free at a martial arts school when she was a child, and after playing around with it for a while, she became the best archer in the world...

Of course, the main reason is that there's a lot of blue.

An Yu was very excited about Alicia's suggestion. Although she didn't know how strong Alicia was, An Yu knew that she couldn't compare to her in terms of strength alone.

"Can I become a super-powerful giant by learning from you?"
