Chapter 281 Inevitable Changes

"Li, please remember, Destobia's room is on the second to last one on the second floor~?"

"Wait a minute! Captain, why did you tell this guy the location of my room!"

"Huh? Can't you do that?"

"It's not impossible..."

Destobia glared at Li, making him confused, "Anyway, if you come to my room to find me in the future, you must knock on the door first!"

"I understand, I understand, let's avoid the Lucky Pervert incident~" Li can actually understand Destobia's defensive mentality towards herself. After all, this may be her first time living under the same roof with the opposite sex, although Erica Miyabi is also here, but it will still take some time for Destobia to adapt, right?

"Hmph, it's good to know."

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Eden had already left and did not stay overnight, so the three of them went back to their respective rooms and went to sleep.

However, it is clear that not everyone will be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

"Li was lying on the bed, resting her head on her head and looking at the ceiling, thinking about the conversation between him and Him during the previous three days of coma.

……

"...Am I coming in again?"

[Obviously, do you need me to say welcome? 】

"Forget it, to be honest, I don't want to see you very often."

【Why? Could it be that I am afraid of seeing your future shadow in me? 】

"..."

[Oh, you are as stupid now as someone who thought about his future death as a child. 】

"...But my deadline may only be three years."

[Three years is not long yet? This is more than a thousand days~]

"But I am changing every day."

[Then change. At worst, I'll come out while you sleep. Oh, of course, if it comes to that, you have to be prepared for the whole world to be destroyed by me. 】

"I think you will be beaten to death with sticks if you go crazy."

[Are you looking down on me, or are you looking down on those humans? 】

"All."

【Ah……】

He couldn't help but mock.

[Then I can tell you clearly, as long as I don’t want to die, no one can do anything to me. 】

"...Are you confident? Or arrogant?"

[Haven’t you already experienced it? What does it feel like to hit that idiot? 】

Li knew that he was talking about the Eighth Herrscher, but he still had doubts about this guy's strength.

No, it's not so much that he has doubts, but that he doesn't want to admit that this guy can easily destroy everyone around him, because it will only bring more pressure to himself.

[…Well, it’s up to you to believe it or not. 】

It seemed that Li's inner anxiety could be seen from Li's expression, and he did not continue on this topic.

[Instead of putting on a bitter face here, it is better to think carefully about how to slow down this process. It is inevitable to avoid it, but if you just delay it, there is still some room for maneuver. 】

"You seem particularly keen to help me now?"

[Helping you is helping myself. 】

He still used this reason, but Keli still felt a sense of disobedience. He had felt this way since the last time he refused to respond to the Eighth Herrscher.

It seems that...not only is he changing, but also something about Him has changed?

[The look in your eyes is disgusting. 】

He said bluntly, because Li's eyes were like looking at some evil person who had abandoned the dark and turned to the light, which made him very unhappy.

"...You don't want to go back to Honkai Impact?"

[What are you going back for? Work overtime? Or lose your mind like a madman? Forget it, life in your head is much more pleasant than that. 】

"..."

This guy actually considers destroying humanity as overtime?

Li was slightly surprised. He couldn't help but feel that the relationship between him and this guy seemed to be getting closer.

Salted fish should get along well~

[In short, you'd better not burp in the future, neither physically nor mentally. I still want to sleep for hundreds of years~]

"Then what should I do?"

【What? 】

“What can I do to slow down the speed of my change?”

[First, stay less in places with high concentrations of Honkai energy. Second, power can be used, but don’t use it for a long time. 】

"Gone?

【How much more do you want? Do you really think it's fleas? A bunch of ways? 】

"Then the power cannot be used for a long time... What is the best length of time for one-time use?"

[About three to five minutes, after which your head will have to cool down. 】

"Well...that's not bad, at least it takes a little longer than the battle with the Giant of Light..."

[What giant of light? 】

"Oh, that's right. You haven't seen it before. It's a kind of special photo film where you fight little monsters. Well... the image of the little monster is taken from Honkaimon."

[Sounds interesting? 】

"Do you want to see it? I can find it for you."

[Ahem...if that's okay. 】

He coughed dryly. Although he knew this might be a bit childish, his curiosity still drove him to say such words.

It feels like not only has this guy's personality changed, but his style of painting has also gone a bit wrong?

Li looked at this guy strangely.

[Back to the topic, I may need to tell you some bad news. 】

"?"

[That means there is probably no place in the world with a low concentration of Honkai energy. 】

"……You are joking?"

Li's heart thumped, but he ignored him.

[Ever since my colleague...the Eighth Herrscher appeared, the concentration of Honkai energy in this world has remained high. I can feel that this world is about to come to an end. 】

"That is to say..."

[That is to say, no matter where you go, your consciousness will be continuously affected, deviating from human beings and getting closer to madmen. 】

"Okay, does that mean that one of the two methods you mentioned has been abolished?"

【That's it. 】

"…After giving me hope, you then tell me despair. You guys are really yours."

[Just exercise your mind. 】

His tone gradually became neither sad nor happy.

[Be prepared, I can tell you responsibly that your life will not exceed four years at most. 】

"One year more than three years?"

【Three hundred and sixty-five more days~】

"I really want to punch you."

【Please do so. 】

So Li Zhen fought with him afterwards. Although he didn't use his real skills, Li was still very tired.

And every time Li made a pause gesture, he would stop obediently, and then the two began to discuss again, but not long after, they started arguing and fighting each other again.

In this way, the two of them finished the discussion, and then started fighting again after the discussion. According to this cycle, three days and three nights passed like this.

……

When time returned to the present, Li seemed to have figured out something and asked her other self: "Want to see a special photo? Is it the Giant of Light I talked about last time?"

【oh? I thought you broke your promise~]

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to watch it?"

【of course yes. 】

So Li got up, ran to the living room, turned on the TV, and searched for children's channels.
