Time in a collapsing world

"Brother Li, I'm here."

In the evening, outside Li's room, Pado stuck his head out and carefully looked at the back of Li sitting at the table in the room.

"Brother Li, what are you doing?"

"Oh? Pado, you came just in time, come here and hold it down for me." Li moved slightly so that Pado could stand next to him.

Paduo Jianli didn't care about stealing his snacks, so she walked over with confidence.

"what?"

Pado looked at the wild mouse on the table that was being pinned down by Li in confusion, wondering what Brother Li wanted to do.

"Quick, help me hold it down!" After a long time, before Pado could help, Li urged again.

"Oh, okay." Pado came to her senses and quickly got started. She was not afraid of a mere mouse. When she had nothing to eat before, this little thing might be her supper.

"Come here, grab its limbs, and spread it on its back." Li thought for a while, then stood up and gave up her position to Pado.

"Brother Li, are you doing research?" Pado followed his words and sat on Li's seat, placing the mouse in a "tai" shape.

"Well, let's test our conjecture." Li took out a scalpel from his pocket, which he got from Mebius's laboratory today.

The tip of the knife pierced the mouse's abdomen, and then slowly slid upward, causing the mouse's skin to open to both sides, revealing the bright red internal organs inside.

"Squeak!"

The rat barked extremely miserably.

"Scream, scream, the harder you scream, the more excited I am~"

"Brother Li, did you take the wrong medicine again?" Pado looked at him strangely.

"Ahem, let's increase the sense of immersion."

After dispelling the perverted murderous persona in his mind, Li gently pointed her finger at the exposed heart of the mouse while it was still not completely dead, focusing on it.

After a while, the little heart began to gradually twist and change, growing into a transparent sphere again.

"..." Li threw the ball aside casually, his eyes staring at the place where the mouse's heart was.

There is nothing there, no, it cannot be said that there is nothing. The blood vessels originally connected to the heart have not been broken due to the removal of the heart. They are still connected, just like usual, but the heart is missing.

"Wow..." Pado looked at the blood flowing out of thin air at the heart of the mouse in amazement. His eyes were opened immediately. He wanted to touch it, but because he couldn't move his hands, he gave up his idea.

Li picked up a needle and poked it at the mouse's heart.

There is no entity, it has indeed been removed.

Li stirred it again with a needle and found that the blood flowing out of thin air could automatically return to its original position after being disturbed by him, as if it was bound by some kind of rules.

"Outrageous..." This sentence came from Paduo. Liya wanted to say it originally, but she beat him to it.

"...Pado, you can let go." Li clapped her hands, indicating that the experiment was over.

"Okay..." Pado let go of it. He originally wanted to observe it again, but he didn't expect that the little thing suddenly jumped up and slipped away, dragging blood all over the floor.

"The vitality is quite strong." Li praised it and didn't care about it. It would die in a few days anyway. After all, its stomach was really cut open.

"Li, Brother Li? It ran away."

"It's okay. These kind of mice are everywhere anyway. If they run away, they will run away." Li said nonchalantly. After this simple anatomy experiment, he had already got the answer he wanted.

Just relying on his ability, he seems to be unable to kill any living beings now...

"Brother Li, what should we do with this?" Pado picked up the "heart" that Li threw on the ground.

"Um...Give it to me." Li took the sphere and turned it back into a heart. The strange thing is that the restored heart was completely destroyed. Li felt that even if he put it back, it wouldn't be able to perform as it should. function.

"Here you go." After turning it back into a sphere, Li gave it to Padu, not sure if she would dislike it.

"Thank you, Brother Li!" Pado accepted it happily. She has a great desire to collect these strange things.

Shaking her head, Li climbed into bed. Just as she was about to let Padu leave and close the door behind her, she suddenly remembered something else.

"Oh, by the way, Pado, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter, Brother Li?"

"I have just eaten all the snacks under my bed, leaving nothing behind~"

"???"

……

Fourteenth Street, somewhere in a dark corner.

"Damn it, are they still finished...!"

In a black mist, Xi's pupils almost completely turned red, looking at the patrols coming and going outside, and cursed angrily.

Black mist shrouded her body, completely covering this corner, filling the space with an aura of death. The people outside seemed to have their perceptions blocked, and had no intention of searching here at all.

"Ho...ho..."

At her feet, a Fire Chaser patrol member who had almost become a mummy was crawling out with all his strength, making weird noises from his throat, as if he was asking for help.

"Noisy!"

"Xi" angrily stepped on his right hand that was still movable, and then stepped on his head with another kick. This ended the team member's final struggle.

"Whoo~"

"Xi"'s mood gradually calmed down after venting, and her eyes were fixed on the other nearest team member not far away, "Since you are looking for death, then I will help you..."

……

Fire Chasing Moth Base.

"Doctor, there's a situation!"

The person responsible for monitoring the Honkai energy reaction suddenly discovered that a large number of red dots appeared on the map on the monitor, and finally connected into one, covering the entire 14th Street!

Dr. Mei, who heard the calling of the testing personnel, immediately came over and stared at the large red screen on the monitor with a frown.

This display is connected to an instrument that monitors Honkai energy. A red dot represents a small Honkai event occurring at a certain location, and such a large one... except for the sixth Honkai event, there is no other possibility.

"Notify all teams and dispatch urgently. There is a problem with the calculation. The Herrscher has swallowed the human personality in advance and has fully awakened." Dr. Mei had just given the order when bad news came from the other side.

"Report, report Doctor! No one from the search team responded!"

"..." Dr. Mei was silent and no one responded. It's not that communication is impossible. Under normal circumstances, either the communicator is lost or the person is dead. And if all members are unable to respond... there is no other explanation other than the complete annihilation of the entire army.

"Stop calling! Prevent the location of the survivors from being exposed!" Dr. Mei quickly ordered. Most of the people in the Fire Chasing Moth are resistant to Honkai Impact, especially the search team, so it can cause their entire army to be annihilated. It is very likely that the Herrscher took action.

After saying these words, the atmosphere in the huge room instantly became extremely depressing.

After a long time, someone said: "So many people died again..."
