Chapter 218 Doing What You Know Is Impossible
The ground stopped vibrating, and the rate at which the hole in the sky expanded also slowed down.
But meteorite strikes and earthquakes continue to ravage this small world, plunging the distant city of Weiming into chaos and flames.
"Oh my God……"
Although he didn't know the cause of the disaster, Qiong's intuition told him that it was related to Bio—completely unrelated to Otto's isomorph, not even a dog would believe it if you told him!
Could it be the power of the etheric singularity?
"Seele".
In a building in the research institute, Qiong, who had only a superficial understanding of the world bubble, looked at Hei hope, whom he had avoided not long ago—from that moment on, Hei hope had been showing signs of being somewhat abnormal.
Do you know what's wrong with this world?
"Seele doesn't know. If we have to say, this place is doomed."
Hei hope seemed indifferent; the world's fate was none of her concern. Since she had no physical form, Xi'er wouldn't be harmed. As for Qiong… since she could make contact with him, taking him with her should be fine, right?
Hmm, that's a good idea.
The image of Sora, looking grateful, voluntarily cutting her finger and bringing it to her lips for her to suckle flashed in Hei hope's mind—perhaps it wouldn't be bad to let Sora owe her a favor?
"Brother Qiong, this world bubble is beyond saving. However, I can protect you and take you away from this world bubble."
Kuroshi blinked and raised her chin, waiting for Sora's response. Although she had the idea of taking advantage of a favor, hadn't she objectively helped Sora?
"Huh? So you didn't get here by accident? Are you free to leave?"
However, Qiong's focus differed slightly from Hei Xi's. Qiong simply hadn't anticipated that Xi'er could freely enter and leave the world bubble, completely unbound by rules. He, preconceived and judging by his own standards, assumed Xi'er had been sent there by some manifested star god, and like him, couldn't leave at will…
Hei hope raised an eyebrow smugly. If there was any advantage to quantum state, it was freedom.
"Of course, I'm very capable. Shall we go?"
Hei hope reached out her hand to Qiong—let's see if she could take Qiong away from here? Even if she couldn't, the World Bubble had already developed a gap, and the Quantum Shadow would soon pour in. After being eroded, this place would inevitably collapse and become part of the Quantum Sea as a whole. She believed she could drag Qiong to another World Bubble to ensure his survival.
But Qiong, with his brows furrowed, did not grasp her hand.
"Seele."
She didn't extend her hand, but Qiong's tone became somewhat ingratiating. Hei Xi, who prided herself on being understanding, could understand: You want to save face, right?
"Could you take everyone here with you?"
"what?"
Hei hope was stunned; she hadn't expected Qiong to make such a request.
"I can't do it, I can't contact them, I don't have the ability. Besides, these people aren't my friends, what do I care if they live or die?"
Hei hope frowned, somewhat displeased. She wasn't some great person, nor did she have the grand ambition to protect the world. She would only protect the people or things she wanted to protect: such as Xi'er, and the Qiong before her.
"Seele, would you like to give it a try?"
"I don't want to."
They are all lives, and we cannot stand by and watch them die in this disaster…
"I can."
Qiong: ...
Qiong opened his mouth, intending to say something, but he immediately realized that Hei hope probably wouldn't fall for moral blackmail. It might work on Bai hope, but getting Hei hope to help someone unrelated would be difficult!
Seeing the troubled look on Sora's face, Kuroki chuckled.
For Hei hope, crushing everything or watching something be destroyed brings her an irresistible sense of pleasure, allowing her to vent her pent-up negative emotions.
Neither Qiong nor Xi'er could understand this. If it weren't for Xi'er, she would have wanted to do something bad... She would have been fine if she hadn't stirred things up, let alone helped save people? She's Black Xi'er, a bad kid!
Besides protecting Seele, bad kids naturally do bad things, and Black Seele didn't hesitate to launch a sarcastic attack.
"Give up. You don't really think you can stop the destruction of the world bubble, do you? Stop fantasizing about being a savior. You're just an ordinary person! Besides, there are countless worlds in the Sea of Quanta. Can you save them all? Or are you just trying to be a good person and leave a good impression on me? Stop pretending to be kind and come with me!"
Qiong shook his head. He didn't respond to Hei hope's sarcastic remarks, but instead began searching around the research institute—at least he should get his Flame Spear back first.
After a while, Kuroki sensed that something was wrong with Sora.
"Hey, say something!"
Qiong completely ignored Hei hope and walked through a laboratory, where there was no Flame Gun.
Was he mute? Or were his words too hurtful, leaving him speechless? Qiong's cold and abusive attitude made Hei hope, who had become accustomed to Qiong's friendly demeanor, very uncomfortable. But thinking of that feeling, Hei hope felt that she should try to be as friendly as possible.
"Brother Qiong, can you stop looking and talk to me first?"
"I'm busy."
Her tone was very calm, and this kind of cold violence made Hei hope quite unhappy—couldn't she speak properly? She thought about directly using the scythe, but she was afraid that if she treated Qiong like that, Xi'er would start making a fuss first—communicating with Qiong was too important to Xi'er. Now she already regarded Qiong as someone similar to her friends in the orphanage (except for Xing).
Therefore, Hei hope had no choice but to reluctantly follow behind Qiong to look for things.
There is an old saying in China: "Those who understand the times are heroes." In Hei hope's view, Qiong chose to "do what she knew was impossible."
Or rather, they are out of touch with reality and stubbornly refuse to change—the world has created problems that have attracted the quantum shadow, and that is beyond saving!
"Found it, my Flame Spear!"
Kicking open the door that read "Professor's Research Room," Qiong saw the Flame Spear on the lab table.
She darted to the lab table in a few strides, excitedly picking up the Flame Spear. Behind her, Hei hope rolled her eyes.
"You won't seek refuge or come with me just for this? So what if you found it? Can this thing stop the world bubble from being destroyed?"
After saying that, Hei hope shut up. She clearly wanted to say something nice, to urge Qiong to take refuge or leave with her, but what came out of her mouth was "Flame Spear is useless and you are incompetent."
"Professor Mei, you have a new voice message..."
"What the hell?"
Just as Qiong picked up the Flame Spear, the voice of "Klein" came from the big screen, and before Qiong could react, the voice of "Otto" came from it.
"Professor Melius, this is Bio Apocalypse! To make a long story short, the failure of the anti-entropy experiment is the culprit behind this crisis. According to the intelligence I have, the void will engulf the entire Unnamed City in just a few days! My initial assessment is that the only way to resolve this crisis is through sheer volume..."

"What? Uncle Yang's family has been arrested?"
"Yes, Miss March, you have to help her. She's being held captive at Schicksal's headquarters by Otto and his gang of thugs!"
Looking at "Potio" who had delivered the news, March 7th patted his chest.
"Don't worry, we've got it covered! Uncle Yang's family is our family. I'm the invincible heroine, March 7th! We'll go rescue them right now!"
Siegfried chuckled; the plan was working.
From Kiana's conversation with him and Theresa, it's clear that Mei and Welt's niece don't get along at all, and she might even have a close relationship with Sora... Keeping her in St. Freya might lead to trouble someday. It's better to take this opportunity to trick her away—we can just stuff her into the spaceship later, and Einstein won't mind having another person.
"Hero of March, don't forget the time!"
"Don't worry, we'll go back and call Danheng and the others too!"

Good news! My characters, Silver Wolf and Blade, are getting buffs! (I didn't get Kaffa or Mirror Stream though...)
Oh no, I didn't write the part about going to Onphalos. I feel like I might get betrayed... I'll try my best to patch it up and make it work later.
