Collapse: The World I Live In

It has been a long time since the twelfth collapse, but the unity of the Fire Moths has been completely shattered. People are suspicious of each other, and the relationship between the Yingjie has become stiff. The only tens of thousands of people left are like a pile of loose sand. To be honest, Yi also feels that their civilization is about to end.

And on this day, Mei took the initiative to find Yi.

"...What do you want from me?" Yi asked Mei. He had already predicted that Mei might have something bad to say to him.

"...about Alicia...what do you know..." Mei looked at Yi and asked.

"...What do you mean..." Yi's eyes became dangerous. He just looked at Mei. He also realized that Ai Lishiya's secret might be discovered.

"...Yi...I'm not as easy to fool as Mobius. It was Mobius who performed Alicia's super transformation surgery, but Mobius himself has no impression of it." Mei said without fear of the aura released by Yi.

"What does this prove? What if Mobius just has a bad memory..." Yi said to Mei.

"...Do you really believe this reason...Besides, only Alicia has successfully fused with the last-level Honkai beast [Mahayana], and the side effects can be completely ignored. Do you think this is normal?" Mei continued. She wanted to get some information from Yi.

"How is it abnormal? Alicia is special just like me..." Yi said to Mei.

"...Your Sharingan can see other people's past memories. You used illusion on Alicia, you should have seen her past... Who is she..." Mei asked relentlessly.

"Enough! Mei! Ai Lishiya is Ai Lishiya!" Yi yelled at Mei.

"Are you really... not going to say anything?" Mei looked at Yi and asked.

"I've already said it, Alicia is Alicia!" Yi emphasized again. He didn't want Alicia to get into trouble again. After saying that, he didn't stay here any longer and turned to walk outside. Finally, he left a sentence, "You should be thankful that it's not Qianjie who's here..."

“……”Mei just looked at Yi’s back and said nothing.

"...What are you going to do next?" Mobius walked out from the shadows and asked, "I should have told you that I can't get anything out of Yi's mouth."

"...Hold a meeting..." Mei said slowly, "Eden should also know the origins of Alicia. Yi may have told Eden about it."

"…Should we inform Alicia?" Mebius asked.

"...No need...There's no need to notify Yi. The situation might be worse if he comes..." Mei sighed.

……

Yi returned home, but it seemed that Yi was drunk this time.

"What's wrong?" Eden asked as he helped her sit down on the sofa.

"The problem with Alicia... was discovered by Mei and the others..." Yi said as he fell on Eden's lap, "The previous target was Ying's sister... Now they are pointing their guns at Alicia again... What on earth are those people trying to do?!"

"...There will be a way..." Eden comforted.

"Since I didn't get anything out of you, the next target might be you, Eden." Yi said, looking at Eden.

"I know... I have been notified... to attend the meeting..." Eden said.

"..." Yi was silent. He didn't understand. Ailisa had done nothing wrong and was liked by everyone. Why did they attack her?

"This is unfair to Alicia..." Yi said slowly, "She shouldn't be suspected like this..."

"...The world is like this..." Eden said. The world has collapsed and there is no hope at all. She can't see the future, but she is still worried about her children, Li and Grayshu. They are still young and they should have a bright future. They should not be destroyed by this era.

"This world is really hopeless..." Yi couldn't help but say.

"Yeah... there's no hope..." Eden nodded and said...

The next day, Eden went to a meeting first, while Yi took Grayshu and Li to find Alicia.

"Why did you think of looking for me today?" Alicia said as she held Grayshu in her arms, not caring about Grayshu's struggle at all.

"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Yi said jokingly.

"Eh~ How disgusting~" Alicia said with pretended disgust.

"..." Yi was speechless. This guy was really...

"Xiao Li, don't be like your father in the future~" Alicia put Grayxiu down and rubbed Li's little face and said.

"I understand...Aunt Alisha..." Li spoke unclearly, but Alisha still heard the last two words clearly.

"What did you call me?" Alicia smiled and increased the strength in her hands.

"It hurts, it hurts! Sister Alicia! Sister Alicia!" Li begged for mercy quickly.

"That's good enough~" Alicia nodded with satisfaction.

"You are an adult already, and you still care about these things with the child~" Yi complained as he looked at Alicia's smug look.

"You don't understand~a beautiful girl is always eighteen years old~" Alicia said with a smile.

"...So you are of the same generation as Grayshu and Li, so you have to call me uncle." Yi said to Alicia.

"What you said...Grace still calls Mobius grandma~ If that's the case, do you have to call Mobius aunt? At worst, we can just talk about our own things~" Alicia said after thinking for a while.

"It's really you...Ailishia..." Yi complained weakly.

"Okay, okay, no more jokes. Why did you ask me out with these two kids?" Alicia said with her hands on her hips.

"That's it..." Yi was interrupted by Alicia before he could finish his words.

"Are you asking me out on a date? That's not a good idea. I can't do anything to let Eden down." Alicia said, crossing her arms in front of her chest and making a big cross.

"You think too much..." Yi said speechlessly, "Eden has something to do, so he just wants you to come out and play, and take these two kids out to relax."

"Where can we go to play?" Alicia asked. Now they were still in the base rebuilt by the Fire Moth, and there was nothing fun around.

"That's right..." Yi didn't think it through. After all, now was not the time to go out and play.

"Forget it, I know a place. Let's go there after dinner!" Alicia looked at Yi and said with a smile.

"alright."

……

Then Alicia took Yi and sneaked out of the Fire Moth and came to a place similar to a dance hall, but it was indeed an open-air dance hall.

"What are you doing here?" Yi asked Alicia.

"This place is a great place to watch the sunset. Look at the direction. It's very safe. I have cleaned the surroundings. I originally wanted to watch the sunset with Eden first, but now you get the chance." Alicia said to Yi with a smile.

"It's really my honor~" Yi said with a chuckle.

Afterwards, the two of them sat together on the floor, watching the sunset. Grayshu and Li followed suit and leaned together. Yi also knew that Alicia had noticed something. She was a careful girl and must have noticed the suspicion towards her.

At this time, Alicia leaned her head directly on Yi's shoulder.

"Ailishiya..." Yi said softly.

"You are such a bad man~" Alicia said while looking at the sunset, "Eden, Mebius is fascinated by you, even though you are just a dull piece of wood..."

"What you said is ambiguous..." Yi couldn't help but complain.

"But this may be the reason~" Alicia said as she stood up and stretched.

"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Yi also stood up and looked at Alicia and said.

"Since we are here... then... do you want to dance with me?" Alicia said to Yi with her back against the setting sun.

"Ah? I'm not very good at dancing..." Yi said.

"What a coincidence~ I'm not very good at it~" Ailicia smiled and took Yi's hand. Without giving Yi a chance to refuse, they began to dance the waltz under the setting sun. Although there was no music, it did not disturb the atmosphere between the two.

"It hurts!" Alicia stepped on Yi's foot without noticing, and the heel of her high heels poked Yi's instep. Then both of them lost their balance, and Alicia threw Yi to the ground.

Yi just stared at Alishiya with his eyes wide open. He could see very clearly at this moment that tears appeared in the corners of Alishiya's eyes, but soon, Alishiya controlled her emotions and stood up again.

"Ailisha..." Yi also stood up and looked at Alisha. He didn't know how to comfort Alisha. Usually it was Alisha who comforted everyone.

"You're really lucky~" Alicia turned around as if she didn't want Yi to see her expression, and then said, "Being pounced on by a beautiful girl like me~"

"Are you really okay?" Yi asked.

"You are not cute at all!" Alicia turned around and pointed at Yi, saying, "You are difficult, slow, willful, and dishonest!"

"You describe me in a really bad light..." Yi heard what Alicia said to herself and complained.

"It's more than that~ It includes all these parts..." Alicia looked into Yi's eyes and said with a smile, "I like it..."

“……” Yi was stunned. He didn’t understand why Alicia suddenly said this.

Also stunned were Grayshu and Li who were hiding nearby.

"Dad is going to cheat on me!" Li said to Grayxiu in panic.

"...From now on you have to call Alicia sister and aunt..." Grayshu said seriously to Li.

"Ah!!!" Li couldn't believe it. This was a big blow to him at such a young age...
