Chapter 683 Leaving
In the next few weeks, Li has been doing two things: deducing the [future] and observing Alicia, staying alone in an independent [space].
During this period, Xi, Pado and Theofel also came to see him frequently, and during their arrival, Li rarely had time to relax.
After all, only after a guest comes to his [space], he will temporarily break away from his worries.
In the past few weeks, there have been many fewer refugees outside the Fire Chasing Moth base. During this period, Honkai beasts have appeared frequently, and each attack will cause more or less casualties to those humans.
For example, today, several Warlord-level Honkai Beasts appeared outside the base. They ran rampant among the refugees, causing hundreds of casualties in a short period of time.
The ordinary soldiers standing guard would not be able to stop them for a while, but in the end Alicia came after hearing the news and destroyed the Honkaimon.
"..."
Li silently looked at Alicia's figure standing on the battlefield, surrounded by pink crystal flowers where Honkai beasts were buried.
This is the seventy-third wave of Honkai Beasts she has fought off this week...
In other words, Alicia was responsible for repelling all Honkaimon attacks this week.
It's a bit strange why Alicia has been active recently. She is obviously not the only fusion warrior in the base.
Riko had seen Kevin appear on the wall many times when Honkaimon was attacking, but he was always one step behind Alicia.
When Alicia finished dealing with the Honkai Beast, Kevin had no choice but to silently return to the base with the Skyfire Seal.
Li had a feeling, as if Alicia did this specifically to make her presence more conspicuous and attract someone's attention.
This someone...couldn't it be referring to him?
Li took this possibility into consideration and cast her gaze on other people in the base.
Xi was sparring with Kosmo. The former wielded a scythe and was able to chase Kosmo around... But there was nothing he could do. Who asked Kosmo to let Xi use the weapon before training.
Aponya sat quietly in the deepest place, seemingly closing his eyes to rest, but his mental power covered the entire base.
Pado held up his tail and played backgammon with Teofil in his room. Currently, he has thirty-five wins and zero losses.
Eden was tasting his own wine collection, and there seemed to be sadness in his eyes for unknown reasons.
Qianjie ran to the [Promised Land] to fight with "himself". Next to him was the memory Vivi who stood watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble.
Su was worried alone in the clinic because Mei had not allowed Su to check her body recently, which made him anxious.
Mebius is pestering Hua again and wants to use her body to perform some dangerous surgeries.
Sakura, who was accompanying her sister Suzu, seemed to feel Li's gaze and turned her head sharply, but unfortunately, Li had already shifted her gaze.
The original body, Velvet, was tinkering with the Fifth God's Key in her own workshop, while also making further repairs to Void Manzo.
Kevin followed Mei, who was walking around for his own plans, silently guarding her.
"..."
Everyone was going about their daily lives and there were no strange reactions.
So where does the faint uneasiness in my heart come from?
When will Alicia's death begin?
……
A few weeks later.
"So, everyone, goodbye~?"
Alicia, who was ready to go, waved goodbye to her friends behind her.
She took the initiative to accept a subjugation mission related to Honkai Beasts from Mei. The location was far away, in an uninhabited area.
Li, who had been watching her, could not guess what she was thinking. Those Honkai beasts far away in the horizon obviously did not need to take the initiative to take care of them, and they would not threaten the remaining humans anyway.
"Sister Aili, let's see you later..."
Pado waved to Alicia reluctantly.
"Take care of yourself."
Kevin nodded to Alicia, then turned and left.
"I packed some little inventions from me in your luggage, maybe you can use them."
Velvet pointed at the small bag Alicia was carrying.
"Sister Alicia, please be safe..."
Nozomi was the last person to say goodbye. Seeing Alicia planning to go deep into the Honkai infected area alone, she gave uneasy instructions.
"Yeah, don't worry, I'll be back soon~?"
Alicia turned around and left the wall, passed through the group of refugees, and headed towards the uninhabited and unknown area.
"..."
Li glanced at everyone in the base, hesitated for a moment and came out of [space], following Alicia's footsteps.
What on earth does Alicia want to do? !
"..."
Li didn't notice that Eden, who didn't participate in the farewell, was watching him leave quietly on the wall. He didn't move towards the inside of the base until he confirmed that he was missing.
Alicia couldn't prepare for the dance herself, so it was up to her to make this last dance beautiful for Alicia while Li was being lured away.
……
"Alicia, what do you want to do?"
After leaving the base, Li appeared on Alicia's path and asked with a frown.
"Hey, Li, why are you here?"
Alicia looked surprised at Ri's appearance.
“…don’t answer a question with a question.”
"Okay, okay, I've received the mission to defeat Honkaimon~ What about you? Li, are you following me because you want to accompany me?"
"..."
Li wanted to ask further, because he felt that Alicia must have an ulterior motive, but thinking of what he said before, "Don't answer questions with questions," he answered Alicia's question first: "No, it was just by chance. I saw you coming out and felt a little strange, so I came over to ask..."
"Eh---"
Alicia spoke in a longer tone, "It's by chance——"
"..."
Li knew that Alicia had noticed her surveillance, so he tensed up when facing her narrow eyes, "Yes, by chance."
"Then just think of it as a coincidence~?"
Alicia didn't say much on this topic, "But since you're following me, Li, you might as well go with me. It just so happens that I'm alone and have no company~?"
"..."
Are you following Alicia...
Alicia kept moving before arriving at the so-called mission location. With Li's current body, she could only rest for a while, which was very troublesome.
But... he can't let Alicia escape his sight. No matter how troublesome it is, Li has to keep up.
"Are you unwilling..."
Alicia looked disappointed.
"...You go first, I will follow you later."
Li shook his head. During the conversation alone, his activity time was almost at the limit. Li had to wait for a while before catching up with Alicia.
Fortunately, I can move [space] myself.
