Time in a collapsing world

"Just in case I ask, this helmet doesn't have a self-destruct function, right?"

Li turned the helmet over and over to check, and asked uneasily.

"No...probably not."

Mei's tone became a little uncertain, "Forget it, you'd better ask Velvet directly later."

"..."

Hey, hey, your uncertain tone makes me very uneasy!

Li subconsciously wanted to use her power to check, but Mei stopped her.

"One more thing I need to remind you is that you may have to use your abilities as little as possible in the future. At least in normal times, you'd better not use them."

"...means my ability has been banned?"

"It's good for everyone, if you don't want to go crazy because of it." Mei didn't want to see another city destroyed by glass.

"...Okay, I actually don't care."

Li thought for a while, but listened to Mei's suggestion and stopped using her power indiscriminately.

"Also, if it comes time to use your abilities, you'd better wear this helmet..."

"No, I won't wear it until I understand all its functions."

Li did not agree to this request. He was really worried about Velvet's work.

"I will help you ask her. Before that... well, you can have a good rest. I will help you minimize the tasks of the first team."

Mei looked at the time, stood up, and seemed to be leaving.

"That's good, thank you for your preference~"

"Just reducing the risk."

Li sent Mei out of the villa, and the smile on Li's face slowly faded away after she was no longer visible.

He himself knows the condition of this body best... If there was such a simple solution, he wouldn't have discussed it with his other self in his dream for three full days...

Does Li behave like a normal person now? Yes, but only "for now", and as time goes by, he will become more and more deviant from human beings.

This process is almost irreversible and unstoppable, even if he seals his power forever. Stopping the use of power only slows down the process.

"Oh... a sin..."

Li stroked the helmet in her hand and murmured.

"What are you sighing about again? Come in, I've made a new cake, come and try it for me."

Destobia suddenly appeared behind Li and patted him on the shoulder.

"..."

Li came back to her senses and turned to look at the girl.

"What, what?"

Destobia felt a little uncomfortable with Li's gaze, but she still pretended to be tough and said.

"Nothing, I was just wondering, does your head look easy to touch?"

"what?"

Before Destobia could react, Li rubbed her head hard, messing up her beautiful orange hair.

"Hey you!"

Destobia was immediately furious, but when she was about to fight back, she found that Li had already bypassed her and walked back to the villa.

"..."

Looking at Li's back as she walked back, for some reason, the breath she was holding disappeared inexplicably.

I always feel...

This guy seems to have something bothering him...

……

Fire Chaser Base, Mebius' laboratory.

Mebius, who was wearing a white coat, was busy, and in front of her was a girl without arms lying on the operating table.

She is Qian who was lucky enough to survive after the death of the Eighth Herrscher. However, for her now, living is probably a kind of torture.

"It's really strange. You are obviously a human being possessed by the Herrscher, so why hasn't your body changed much? I spent several days checking you, but I didn't expect to find anything in the end."

Mebius put away the bloody scalpel. Today's experiment was over, but the results she got made her very unhappy.

"Well……"

Qian on the operating table groaned, as if the anesthetic had worn off.

"woke up?"

Mebius glanced at her coldly.

"...Are you tied up again?"

Qian moved numbly, but she was just an ordinary girl and couldn't break free from the restraints on her hands and feet.

Every time she woke up in the past three days, she was in this situation. Her limbs were tied to the operating table, and in front of her was this green-haired woman who looked like she was not a good person.

"What on earth do you want to do to me? I'm obviously just an innocent ordinary person..."

"Innocent ordinary people? Ha..."

Mebius pinched her face and made Qian's evasive eyes look at him, "Indeed, according to the experimental results, you are indeed an ordinary person now, but innocent? Do you think this word is suitable for you? ?Miss Qian?"

"Ugh...I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"Assisted the Eighth Herrscher to attack Destobia, Alicia and other members of the Fire Chaser Moth, and took the initiative to kill a large number of humans... You have committed so many crimes, Miss Qian, I don't think you is innocent."

"Did I do these things? Sorry, I don't remember what I did before..."

"Are you pretending to have amnesia... Forget it, anyway, what you did before and how many people you killed are meaningless to me, and I don't care. I just need to use your body for research."

Hearing this, Qian silently clenched his fists and looked at Mebius who was like a poisonous snake nervously.

"But now your body is useless. No useful information is left. Keeping it is a waste of space."

"Then let me go..."

"Let you go? Do you think it's too beautiful? Although I am not interested in most people's lives, but..."

Mebius narrowed his eyes, "You should never attack that guy."

"I don't!"

Qian knew very well who the guy Mebius was talking about, and immediately changed his previous attitude and said in a panic: "I have never wanted to hurt my brother, never!"

"Really?"

Mebius almost saw the answer in her eyes, "That would be great, but since you said this, does it mean that your previous amnesia was all fake?"

"..."

Qian quickly shut up.

"Haha... I'm teasing you. I told you I'm not interested in other things."

"Then you should let me go, because without me, my brother would have been killed by Him."

"He? Oh~ The Eighth Herrscher, indeed, I really want to thank you for this~"

Qian couldn't help but feel happy at Mebius's words, but she didn't expect that her next words would directly send her into hell.

"It's not in vain that I worked hard to keep you alive during these three days of experiments~ Just in time, the white mouse also woke up. As a thank you, I can allow you to see him one last time~"

The real last one.
