Time in a collapsing world

After leaving the ward, Li discovered that Destobia had not left. Instead, she was hiding at the door, quietly listening to the conversation between her captain and Li.

"I didn't expect you to have the habit of eavesdropping."

Li closed the door naturally, blocking Joseph's sight inside.

"Hmph, if I didn't eavesdrop, who would have known that the captain would tell you such a thing behind my back?"

Destobia muttered, "I don't have to join the first team. I can definitely get along well even in other teams!"

"Your captain is also doing it for your own good, well, although the choice is still yours now, what do you think? Do you want to join us, or choose another team?"

Li walked side by side with Destobia in the corridor and followed her to the location of the vending machine. Destobia did not forget to buy a bottle of Coke for the captain.

"They say it's up to me to choose, but you know that I will only choose between the first and second teams, right? After all, it is only in these two teams that I know the most people..."

"..."

Li shrugged, noncommittal, "So, your choice is...?"

"Logically speaking, I would choose the second team. As you know, there is Captain Alicia in the first team."

"Yes, I understand." Li nodded, "Then your choice is the second team?"

"Wait until I finish speaking. This is what I thought originally, but if I do this, there will be four fusion warriors in the second team. This is for the two fusion warriors in your first team. Isn’t that unfair?”

"No, I feel like neither I nor Alicia care about this kind of thing..."

Destobia pretended not to hear and hesitated for a moment, "So, hum, I have no choice but to join your first team~"

"...I haven't seen you have any contact with Mebius? Why have you become so arrogant?"

"Well……!"

Destobia's face suddenly turned red, and she wanted to explain in a panic, but Li had already quickened her pace and was walking in front of her.

"Then, you are welcome to join. I will go to Alicia to register you later."

A vending machine appeared in front of the two of them. Li quickly stepped forward, took out a banknote and put it into the vending machine, then clicked several times on the screen.

Bang————

Li knelt down, took out the fallen Coke and put it into Destobia's hand, "Just think of it as my invitation to you, as a gift to welcome the newlyweds."

"Then you are too stingy. You just gave me a bottle of Coke as a gift, and I didn't drink it..."

"Just asking if you want it?"

"Yes, of course! Who doesn't want free stuff?" Destobia quickly hid the Coke in her hand and said with a smile.

……

"Sister, if you stay at home all the time, will the people at your workplace really not have any objections to you?"

At Sakura's home, Ling was lying on the bed, and Sakura was waiting by her side, never leaving.

"...I will ask them for leave later."

"Wow... you mean, sister, you are skipping work? That's not possible. If you lose your job because of this in the future, it will be more than worth the loss." Ling wanted to persuade her sister to go back to work, but Ying was in her own family. The degree of stubbornness in this aspect is higher than she imagined.

No, if you have an accident because of my negligence, it will be a loss outweighing the gain.

Sakura silently thought that even though she had been staying at home during this period, Li would still report to her on the outside world from time to time.

Nearly half of the world is encompassed by the power of the Eighth Herrscher... Sakura is really afraid that if she leaves, what will happen if Suzuya is attacked? She can only ask Aponya to impose [Commandments] on Suzu, right?

But... Sakura still feels uncomfortable thinking that her sister will be implanted with something in her brain. Therefore, the best way is to stay by Suzu's side until the Eighth Herrscher is eliminated. Give the Eighth Herrscher a chance to attack her.

beep beep beep————

The communicator rang, but Sakura had no intention of connecting because she knew it was another mission from the base.

"Sister, you don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. At worst, I'll be hiding in the closet waiting for you to come back. No matter who it is, I won't open the door for him." Ling was not stupid. She saw that her sister from home had left the door open. The biggest purpose of coming down is to protect myself, but I just don't know what danger is worthy of my sister being so cautious.

Sakura glanced at Ling who was completely in the dark, but did not listen to her opinion.

"Ugh……"

Seeing this, Ling had no choice but to sigh and think about how they would live if her sister lost her job in the future.

Dong Dong Dong————

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Suzu looked over curiously, while Sakura subconsciously held the handle of the knife.

"who is it?"

Sakura asked coldly.

"Hehehe..."

A burst of laughter like silver bells came, which did not answer Sakura's question, but it was enough for Sakura to understand that the other party was not kind.

"Sister, it's Brother Li! Don't you invite him in?"

Ling seemed to hear a completely different response. She happily climbed out of bed and seemed to want to run to the door.

"...Ling, cover your ears and don't listen to anything people outside say."

Sakura instantly understood that Ling had been bewitched, so she grabbed Ling forcefully and prevented her from approaching the door.

Hiss~~~

But at this time, Sakura's mind felt the pain of being corroded by the [Commandments]. She had been staying at home and did not receive the deeper [Commandments] of Aponya.

Sakura was forced to her knees by the severe pain, and Suzu took the opportunity to break free from her grasp.

"Sister, I'm going to open the door. Brother Li outside the door is already urging me."

"Ring...wait..."

Sakura held back a few words in her mouth and wanted to stop her, but it was obvious that Suzu, who had not been subjected to [Commandments], had been completely contaminated by the Eighth Herrscher, and Sakura's words could not reach her ears.

"bell……"

Seeing that Ling was about to walk to the door, Sakura took a deep breath and with trembling hands, she dialed Li's phone number, hoping that at least he could come with support before she couldn't hold on any longer.

"cherry?"

He seemed to be chewing something in his mouth, so Li's words on the other end of the phone were a little unclear.

"eighth……"

"what?"

"The Eighth Herrscher...is here with me."

"..."

There was a "bang" sound, and the door of the villa was closed. The huge noise woke up Alicia who was taking a nap. She walked out of the room in a daze, only to find Li, who was still eating lunch leisurely in the living room. He disappeared, leaving only the steaming instant noodles on the table.
