"..."

"…………"

"Tick-tock——"

In a dark environment, Gu Chen was sitting there with his legs around his body, quietly counting the sound of water drops falling...

"The eighth... the ninth... is there no tenth...?"

Gu Chen listened to the dripping sound that stopped at some point and said with a smile: "It seems... I am really dead. Next, if I just wait for the stars, Yalilo VI's pioneering journey should be over."

"I... should have helped, right?"

Thinking of the last thing she did before she lost consciousness, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, although this pioneering journey was not handled perfectly.

But at least this time... she protected her companions.

She protected her companions even though she knew the plot...

"Tick-tock——"

I don't know when the sound of dripping water sounded again in this space, but Gu Chen was not interested in counting the number of dripping water sounds, because... because she was really tired of counting.

"Haaa..." Gu Chen yawned and said listlessly: "I'm a little sleepy... Anyway, I've done what I should do, so... take a nap?"

Thinking so, Gu Chen slowly closed his increasingly heavy eyes...

"Hey, Captain, do you really think you're done?"

Suddenly, a soft and warm touch came from behind his head, and the key is that familiar, energetic voice? !

Gu Chen opened his eyes in surprise and joy, and happened to see... uh... a familiar mountain?

"Hey, long time no see, Captain~"

The girl emerged from between the two peaks with a cunning glow in her star-like eyes, and her recognizable and agile voice had already exposed her identity...

She is——

"Chizha Yuehai Yuyumao!"

"Eh?! No... Don't mention this again, Captain!!!"

Gu Chen blurted out the words that made the girl's pretty face burn, as if she was suddenly bumped into by an acquaintance when she was in the middle of a second-year syndrome.

The name that Gu Chen mentioned earlier was the nickname that the girl had chosen in the online game in a moment of excitement. At that time, she didn't feel much when she chose this name, but after it was dug out by a friend and spread among other friends...

"I said that it was just... If it weren't for Bronya... she could only change her name once a month...!"

The girl explained incoherently, and looking at her cute flustered look, Gu Chen couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

"Captain? I heard it..."

The girl reached out and gently hit the bad guy's head, then rubbed it with some heartache.

Who made this bad guy like himself the most?

"Okay, Captain, don't play dead, get up and walk with me."

The girl patted Gu Chen who was lying on her legs, but the latter turned sideways and rubbed his face against the soft and smooth thigh of the former and refused to get up.

Gu Chen felt the comfort of the girl's thigh and said lazily: "No, anyway, I have done what I want to do, and I haven't rested on Qibao's legs for a long time~"

After that, Gu Chen closed his eyes again and prepared to fall asleep...

But soon Gu Chen found something wrong, because for some reason she suddenly stood up, and Qibao in front of him looked at him helplessly with his hands on his hips.

"Please, Captain, it feels so weird to be spoiled by yourself..."

But Gu Chen ignored Kiana's helplessness, because why did the surrounding environment always make her feel familiar...?

"Is this... St. Freya Academy?"

Gu Chen looked around and said uncertainly: "It seems to be St. Freya before the Battle of Destiny. The wall over there has not been raised yet... Maybe it was even earlier."

"Yeah, it was a long time ago, right?"

Kiana playfully put her hands behind her back and smiled at the dazed Gu Chen, and then walked forward without caring whether the latter followed or not.

Looking at the girl's playful back, Gu Chen sighed and followed.

The two walked side by side for a long distance. Sometimes when they met familiar scenery on the road, Kiana would stop and talk to Gu Chen happily about what happened there.

But when passing by a villa, the latter suddenly stopped and stared at the villa in a daze.

"Captain... are you thinking about Teacher Ji Zi?" Noticing that Gu Chen beside her suddenly stopped, Kiana patted his shoulder and said, "Since we have come this far, let's go in and take a look. I will answer some of your questions for you."

After that,Kiana pushed the door open and walked into the villa first, while Gu Chen lowered his head and remained silent for a while before following in.

The structure inside the villa was not much different from what he remembered, but there was something wrong with the group photo placed on the shoe cabinet, because the other people in the photo were all in color, except Jizi... who was gray.

"Yes, because Wuliangta Jizi... is dead..."

Gu Chen suddenly collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Jizi's death was the biggest shadow she had since she traveled to the collapse, because it was the occurrence of the last lesson that made her realize...

Even if she knew the future, without power... she still couldn't do anything!

"Actually... Honkai energy can corrode the captain's body not only because my physical condition was like that at the time."

Looking at Gu Chen who seemed to have lost his soul, Kiana felt a little bit sorry but continued to speak: "More importantly, it is because the death of Teacher Jizi has left the captain with a shadow on Honkai energy, so the captain has a subconscious rejection of Honkai energy, and Honkai energy in order not to be rejected..."

Kiana was stunned before she finished her words. What did Bronya say to her before...?

Her sudden pause made Gu Chen, who was brewing emotions, stunned for a moment. Why did you suddenly stop when you were getting excited? !

"In short! Honkai energy and the captain's body are fighting!!!"

After the two of them stared at each other for a long time, Kiana blushed and said it, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"......!"

"......?"

"Ahem..." Gu Chen coughed twice and then slowly said, "Yes... maybe I really have a serious trauma about Honkai?"

"After all, if I could be tougher, maybe Sister Jizi wouldn't have died..."

After saying that, Gu Chen laughed at himself and said nothing more.

She didn't experience the last lesson... because she didn't have the strength to experience it with them...
