[The scope of the collapse is getting larger and larger, and the number of deaths is gradually increasing. Many cities have been destroyed by the outbreak of the collapse, and the speed of reconstruction is difficult to catch up. Fortunately, the technology of the Fire Moth is also developing rapidly, at least the survivors can have a place to live.]
[More and more people are trying to fish in troubled waters. Under the large-scale disaster called Honkai, all kinds of monsters and demons have emerged. Some people even regard Honkai as "God's grace" and deliberately infect Honkai, and then transform into real "monsters" in places where people gather, so that more people can feel this "gift" given by God.]
[Although most similar incidents will be discovered by the Fire Moth, and you, who are responsible for such incidents, will be sent to deal with these "traitors", this kind of terrorist incident still makes the people panic, and the whole world is filled with an inexplicable panic]
[However, fortunately, under the unremitting propaganda and information control of the Fire Moth, the general order is still tending to be stable.]
[Then, a "sleeping sickness" different from the ordinary "Honkai Disease" began to spread among the people]
[And is rapidly "slaughtering" people in a very unique way]
----------
[■■ month 16, 28 stars, today someone made the news again because they died in their sleep... There seem to be too many people dying in their dreams recently. There was a "mission" before, too. When I arrived, everyone inside was lying dead in bed, with no wounds on their bodies. At that time, I suspected that the poison pupa had made a mistake. Now it seems that this is indeed a collapse, right? ]
Xiwang was writing on the paper while holding a candy in his mouth.
【Based on the current research of the scientific research department, it seems that all problems can be attributed to "Honkai". As long as any incident occurs, it can be attributed to Honkai. Anyway, as long as you go to the scene to investigate, you can always find traces of Honkai. Even if it is a so-called "man-made disaster", Honkai can be detected in those with extreme emotions. It seems that these people's emotions have become extreme because of the influence of Honkai energy...
According to this, isn't the "Honkai Energy" that gave rise to the Honkai a little too omnipotent? It can be used as energy, and it can also form strange creatures like the "Honkai Beast", and it can even affect people's minds. I heard that someone in the Research Department has proposed a research theory that "Honkai Energy can be transformed into ordinary energy, or into some kind of physical creation". This will not only solve the energy problem, but also greatly liberate productivity... If this continues, "Honkai Energy" will be omnipotent.
It's a pity that Honkai is a disaster, otherwise the scientists in the Research Department would definitely like it. 】
Xiwang paused for a moment, and then continued writing.
[Speaking of which, the spread of "sleeping sickness" this time is probably another outbreak of "collapse", but the collapse didn't seem to show such signs before. This time, this unusual "collapse"... Could it be that another "herrscher" has appeared? After all, the scope of influence this time is too large.
...Forget it. Fire Moth must have thought of this kind of problem before me. Dr. Mei even went to find people from the Fifth Science Department before. There should be a way to deal with it.
All you have to do is prepare for battle... Yeah. 】
Having written here, Xiwang stopped writing, habitually tore off the two pieces of paper and burned them, then swallowed them with water and prepared to rest.
Although [Sleeping sickness] is spreading, we can't be so nervous about it that we even refuse to "sleep"... and according to the speculation of the Fire Moth, this "disease" requires a certain triggering medium. As long as there is no contact with that medium, we will not fall into a coma.
"........."
Lying on the bed, Xi Wang looked at the candy box in his hand for a long time, but still did not open it. He just hid it and planned to take it out and carry it with him tomorrow morning.
no need.
At least tonight, he won't be greedy for that sweet taste.
Xiwang slowly closed his eyes.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of the base alarm, but when he listened carefully, he didn't hear it, as if it was just an illusion... Maybe he was too nervous?
"call……"
Xiwang lay quietly on the bed, breathing steadily - he fell asleep.
…………
………………
"........."
It was dawn, and Xi Wang woke up at the reminder of his own biological clock. He sat up from the bed lazily, frowned, rubbed his eyes and head, and looked like he had not slept well.
“…Is my room so bright?”
Opening his still hazy eyes, looking at the sunlight shining directly into the room from the window, Xi Wang muttered to himself in a daze.
and……
"Double bed?"
He touched his side and could still feel the softness of the bed. He turned his head and saw that it was a double bed with a very large quilt and two pillows. Judging from the marks left on the bed, there must have been another person sleeping next to him.
The sudden change made Xiwang's body tense subconsciously, as if instinctively reminding him that this was not normal, but...
“…What am I thinking about?”
Xi Wang tapped his aching head, as if to check whether there was water in his head.
"Isn't it normal to sleep with your wife?"
As Xi Wang said this, the pain in his head began to subside, and the necessary [memories] began to surface - he was already married.
"Maybe I'm not used to being single after all... I wasn't very popular before."
He said this to himself, as if trying to convince himself.
I got up as usual, changed my clothes, took a deep breath at the sunlight outside the window, and then smiled.
"Today is a good day."
It's a good day to take Ling out to play... I have to say that Ling's sister-in-law is really easy to deal with. All I have to do is promise her to take her out to play often. At first, I thought she would make things difficult for me. After all, there are only two sisters left in their family. Now it seems that those outrageous relatives in the news are still very far away from me!
Walk out of the room and go down to the first floor. You can hear the noise from the kitchen on the stairwell. After a few more steps, you can see the figure busy in the kitchen.
Her long cherry-colored hair was tied up in a bun. She was wearing simple home clothes and an apron tied around her waist. Her hands kept moving back and forth between the cutting board and the stove. She seemed to be in a hurry, but everything was in order under her hands. The mouth-watering breakfast was served on the plate one by one by her. Her skillful movements highlighted her virtue. She was humming an unknown song and seemed very relaxed.
Suddenly, the pair of long and slender ears on her head moved slightly, and she turned around with a smile and looked at Xi Wang who was approaching.
"Good morning, Hope."
"Good morning, Sakura."
He hugged his wife from behind, kissed her cheek, rubbed her intimately, and then asked softly.
"Are you awake so early?"
"I'm just a little earlier than you... and I promised Ling that I would take her out to play today, so I have to make more preparations."
"Are you planning to bring food? You can just buy it on site, right? It's inconvenient to carry it with you all the time."
“The food in the amusement park is too expensive.”
"It's okay, right? The money at home allows us to indulge ourselves occasionally."
"That won't work either. Bring some food with you to fill your stomach, and then find a place to eat after you get out."
"Okay, okay. As you say."
Xiwang didn't care about this matter. Although the family was not short of money, if his wife was willing to be frugal, then he would naturally agree to her... What's more, Ying's cooking skills were very good.
However, it’s okay to let him take a little “revenge”, right?
Xiwang smiled and slowly reached out his hand towards the long ears on Ying's head.
"...Don't make trouble."
At first Sakura just let him do it, but as he touched her for longer and longer periods of time, and his techniques became more and more strange, Sakura moved her "ears" slightly, trying to get rid of those increasingly "evil" hands, but this slight resistance was of no use.
"...Don't...look, don't touch it yet."
Sakura felt that a switch in her body was gradually turning on. Her pretty face gradually turned red and her body temperature gradually rose.
"I'm still... cooking... wait... let's talk about it tonight..."
She said something in a voice almost like a whisper, and then used a weak force to break free from Xiwang's arms. With a flushed face, she stood in front of the stove and continued to cook the food she was going to bring next.
"Ha ha……"
Xi Wang smiled softly, then moved forward a little, hugged her slightly from behind, and then whispered in her ear.
"Okay~"
After saying that, he blew gently, adding a touch of crimson to Sakura's ears. The "ears" on her head also straightened instantly, and then drooped slightly. The long pink ears that were already like cherry blossoms were now even more crimson.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
A slightly disgusted smacking sound came from behind. Looking back, they found Ling standing at the stairs, leaning against the wall, shaking her head at them and talking.
"What a disgusting couple... They are my sister and brother-in-law. They are so unlucky. I don't need to eat anymore. I can eat dog food all day long."
"Ling, you can't not eat."
Ying shook the spatula in her hand slightly and spoke in a lecturing tone.
"You didn't even refute the fact that you would show off your love every day? Sister, you really disappoint me."
Ling looked heartbroken.
"Am I not your favorite sister anymore?"
"What are you talking about? Of course you are my dearest sister."
"Great! Then I want to sleep with my sister tonight!"
"Ah this..."
Sakura was speechless for a moment.
"Brother-in-law won't mind, right~"
After saying that, Ling turned her attention to Xiwang again and said with a smile.
"At worst, I can sleep with you two, my sister and my brother-in-law~"
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Xi Wang rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
"What's wrong with that?"
Ling ran into the kitchen with an angry look on her face, squeezed in between the two people, and hugged her sister.
"I was still a poor, helpless child, afraid of the dark when I slept alone at night... Ouch!"
"You're a little brat, it's not like you can't sleep by yourself... and I'm cooking, so don't disturb me."
"That's too much! It's OK to just look at your brother!"
"Call me brother-in-law."
"No, sister is biased. She wants to be a brother instead of a sister. That's too much!"
"Alright, alright, don't make Sakura too distressed..."
Xiwang picked up Ling with both hands and planned to take her to the living room. Ling also let go of her hands that were holding Ying, but she still pretended to be panicked and shouted loudly to her sister.
"Sister, help me! Your dearest sister is about to be kidnapped by Brother Wang~"
"Don't make trouble."
"Wow, cry, cry... Brother, I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything to me, I won't let my sister marry you!"
"You're too late, we've already got our marriage certificate, your sister is already mine! Haha!"
"Do not--!"
"Have you two had enough fun?"
Listening to the conversation between the two people behind her, Ying seemed helpless. She just turned around and tapped the bell in the air with her tasting chopsticks.
"If you continue to act up, I won't take you out to play."
"It's okay~ I hope my brother will take me there~ right~"
Ling laughed and hugged Xiwang's neck again, leaning close to him, and spoke to her sister as if showing off.
"No, if Sakura says she won't take you, then I won't take you."
"Ah? No - why would you betray me, Brother Wang? This is different from what we agreed upon!"
"Sakura is my wife, so of course I listen to her first."
"Humph, I'm still your sister-in-law! You should just listen to me! Otherwise I'll let my sister teach you a lesson!"
"Ling, be good——"
Sakura's doting voice came from the kitchen, with a hint of warning in her words.
"Wow - you two are bullying me. When we go out to play later, I'm going to play hard to you! I'm going to eat you hard! I'm going to eat you two out of money!"
"I made a lunch box. You don't need to buy food in the amusement park. Just eat something to fill your stomach. Then you can find a place to eat after you get out."
Ignoring Ling's hypocritical crying, Ying's words came slowly, nipping at the source of Ling's "evil plan".
"Did you even calculate this? Damn it!"
Ling spoke angrily, and waved her fist at Xi Wang beside her in helpless rage, but her fists were soft and without any strength.
"Alright, alright, stop playing and go wash your hands and get ready for breakfast... Wait, Ling, have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?"
