Teasing the Immortal / Another "Good Brother"

"... I just find it troublesome, not that I can't kill you!"

Kevin clapped his hands, frowned, and sneered. This thing hadn't evolved many times. Its physical resistance might still be decent, but for his 87% awakened Ice and Snow Gene, killing it would be a matter of minutes.

But for the Immortal Abomination, killing it countless times is never the problem; the biggest trouble is how to prevent it from regenerating.

At this moment, the ground scattered with "shattered ice" was suddenly erased from Kevin's perception range, as if it had never existed. In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Abomination, whose body was gradually coalescing, crawled out from the slightly distorted space.

Moreover, the scales of this thing shimmered with a faint, cold blue light, seemingly possessing preliminary frost resistance.

Just as the enraged Immortal Abomination was about to rush forward for revenge, a thoughtful, low murmur made the monster pause in its small steps.

"I think I've figured out a bit of the secret to your immortality..."

"No wonder you're so fearless. Your true form isn't even here; to be precise, it doesn't belong to this dimension..."

"The lizard's form is merely a projection of yourself in this world. No matter how many times you kill it, it won't affect your true form. On the contrary, it will only enhance your adaptability and ability to interfere here..."

"High-dimensional beings? Or... from the void?"

Kevin smiled knowingly after seeing the Immortal Abomination's reaction.

"It seems I guessed something correctly..."

"Fine, I'm not playing with you anymore..."

Immediately, the commander, with incredible mobility, landed behind the Immortal Abomination, used his waist to propel himself forward, and kicked the monster into a rift torn open by the Spatial Storm.

Yes! Goal!

Kevin landed gracefully, floating gently on the water's surface, clapping his hands and smiling.

Void life, this is the first time I've seen them. Are these the enemies of the future?

Although there is currently no reliable way to deal with them, it seems that even if these Void Creature can interfere with the world on Earth, they are still subject to various rules and are not invincible.

Furthermore, this also proves that [Honkai] and [Void] are not in the same faction.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Thinking so much is exhausting. I'm going back to sleep...

After throwing the Immortal Abomination back into the Spatial Storm, Kevin stretched and prepared to return to town to rest.

However, a crisp sound of branches snapping came from the dense forest behind them, and a blurry figure leaped out of the silvery-gray spatial mist and arrived in an instant.

Damn it! There's more!

Kevin abruptly twisted and turned in mid-air, ice crystals appearing on his body as his distorted Mental Field was fully activated.

"Bang!"

The figure slammed into Kevin's chest like a heavy hammer. The two forces canceled each other out, and the exhausted pair fell into the river while still entangled.

I actually found a Shenzhou tablet...

Chapter 362, Section 379: Teasing the Immortal

In a cave nestled among the rocks, Kevin slowly tossed the dry branches he had gathered into a bonfire, where his clothes, soaked with river water, were drying on a frame made of several wooden planks.

Although his temperature perception has been declining due to the overexploitation of his Ice and Snow Gene, human habits still dominate his behavior.

His own problem was quickly resolved, but the one inside was quite troublesome.

Kevin lay sprawled in front of his carved stone bed, helplessly poking the attacker's bloodless cheek, and whispering in her ear.

"Immortal, would you like me to help you undress and dry off?"

However, Fu Hua, the Immortal Vermillion Bird Fairy who was in a deep coma, was clearly unable to answer.

In the firelight, the girl on the bed, now with blue eyes and gray hair, had pale lips, and several remaining bloodstains on her body had begun to scab over.

However, the heavy atmosphere of wind and frost made the Immortal Vermillion Bird, who once cleaved the sky with a single punch in front of the Babylon Tower, appear exceptionally weak and powerless, which couldn't help but evoke pity in people.

Based on recent intelligence, this Immortal Vermillion Bird has not yet appeared from any of the survivor gathering areas. Could she have been spending the past two months in the wilderness?

Kevin recalled the Spatial Storm that had frightened both him and Cecilia, and couldn't help but marvel at this deduction.

Of course, the commander understood that the Yekaterinburg Town could indeed provide the wounded soldier with the best possible care and treatment.

But don't forget, the Immortal Vermillion Bird is one of the few people Otto dares to trust. Before figuring out her stance, Kevin doesn't want to risk the safety of Cecilia, Siegfried, and the others.

However, when Kevin's conflicted gaze fell on the bed, Fu Hua's pale, pretty face was slightly furrowed, her ascetic charm, untouched by worldly affairs, captivated him.

Immediately, the warm, smooth touch on his fingertips made Kevin feel as if he were caressing a piece of beautiful jade. When he came to his senses, he realized that his unruly right hand was sliding along the soft contours of the girl's cheek.

Before regretfully withdrawing, the commander mischievously stretched a smile onto Fu Hua's tense face.

However, Kevin's smile froze instantly, his reflection etched in his turquoise eyes.

"What a coincidence, you're awake? I often hear my mother Cecilia, mention you..."

Kevin readily admitted defeat, then earnestly tried to build rapport by offering greetings.

However, after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Fu Hua, who had just woken up, still had a blank expression and unfocused eyes, like a soulless doll.

Could it be that the rumor that she would burn her memories after overexerting herself by wearing "Phoenix" is true?

Kevin pondered for a moment, then revealed a sly smile, beckoning his finger towards Fu Hua's chin like he was petting a cat.

But to his surprise, just as his fingers were about to touch Fu Hua's skin, the Immortal Vermillion Bird intercepted Kevin's touch with incredible speed.

Kevin tried to test her, reaching out several times, but Fu Hua brushed him away without leaving a trace.

When the commander infused the operation with a touch of murderous intent, the statue, which had been as still as a deep well, suddenly became sharp-eyed and its aura fierce, like a long sword being drawn, causing Kevin's skin to sting.

So that's how it is. By closing off the five senses and six consciousnesses and acting entirely on instinct, it's somewhat similar to the Manas consciousness in Buddhism. No wonder you could wander in the wilderness for two months and still be alive and kicking.

Also, the Immortal Abomination ran out of the grove; could it be hiding from your pursuit? It seems... quite possible.

Well, she's pretty much like a self-disciplined doll right now. Even if I bring her back to town, as long as I don't provoke her, she shouldn't be a threat.

Kevin felt relieved, pointed to the campfire in front of him, and then to himself.

"You're wet, come with me, let's go warm up... sweetie..."

The commander repeated himself several times, and seeing the blank expression on Fu Hua's face soften, he tentatively took the girl's hand.

Fu Hua did not resist. As Kevin gently got up, she mechanically followed suit and sat down in front of the fire to warm herself.

But from beginning to end, the Immortal Vermillion Bird's eyes remained unfocused, staring blankly ahead.

I feel like I'm some kind of guide dog...

Kevin rolled his eyes, muttered a few complaints in his mind, and then patiently taught this old lady how to dry her clothes.

The burning wood crackled and popped, and an eerie silence fell over the cave.

Once her clothes were dry, Fu Hua seemed to have found a target she needed to keep an eye on again, and her empty eyes followed Kevin.

Over time, this puppet-like gaze began to send chills down Kevin's spine.

Well, the night is long, might as well find something to do.

Since your memories have been completely burned away, I'll teach you how to slowly recover them, class monitor...

"You... Hua..."

"I... Kevin... my best friend..."

"And... you have a crush on me..."

After Kevin briefly introduced them, he deliberately added some interesting details to Fu Hua's Oldest One memories.

However, that eccentric smile didn't linger on someone's face for long. To his surprise, he noticed that Fu Hua was nodding thoughtfully and vaguely repeating the syllables of their names.

Realizing that the Immortal Vermillion Bird was indeed reconstructing her memories, Kevin sighed slightly, finding the teasing rather dull, and his eyes became more serious.

"You were one of the Fusion Warrior of the Previous Era's Fire Moth, the first successful participant in the Hyper-mutation Factor Project, one of humanity's eight strongest warriors, and once fought alongside Kevin against the Final Herrscher..."

"Well, that's me, maybe I was your boss back then..."

"After all, I am recognized worldwide as the strongest human warrior. Even the Hyper-mutation Factor within you was developed by my wife, Mei..."

"Okay, just get a general idea of what I've said..."

The commander paused, his gaze distant, his voice low, as he gripped Fu Hua's cold right hand, as if recounting their epic tale.

"Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, twin girls who guard the Xuanyuan Sword and will serve as pioneers of the next generation of civilization..."

"Ji Lin, at the cost of his own life, sealed away the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You..."

"Kallen, I will fight alongside you on the Kipchak Steppe, and in the end, we will become friends..."

"Cheng Lixue, the disciple you raised since childhood, seems to have the greatest wish of seeing you smile just once... Speaking of which, you must look very beautiful when you smile..."

"Oh, and Himeko, from the Previous Era, the former captain of the Fifth Squad of the Fire Moth, your teacher, who accepted you, who only knew how to run away, and trained you to be a warrior against the Honkai..."

"Even if you don't remember what happened to them, you must remember these names. They are proof that you are alive and the motivation to keep going!"

Fu Hua, her expression blank, repeated the syllables of these names incoherently, following Kevin's tone.

"Cang Xuan... Dan Zhu... Ji Lin... Kallen... Cheng Lixue... Himeko... Himeko..."

As her speech became clearer, Immortal Vermillion Bird's recitation grew more powerful, and her emotions became richer.

Kevin counted them, and "Himeko" appeared the most frequently, while the others were about the same. Even the name "Kevin" was fortunate enough to be recited by Fu Hua a few times.

There's no movement outside; the Spatial Storm seems to have stopped?

After briefly helping Fu Hua recall her memories, the commander looked at the bright moon and sparse stars in the night sky outside the cave entrance. Estimating that it was almost time to return, he continued to act as a guide dog, leading the way for the Immortal Fu Hua.

However, the murmur behind him made Kevin freeze, his face filled with astonishment.

"United Nations Fusion Warrior Hua, MSA-209, former member of the Fifth Squad of the Fire Moth, reporting for duty!"

P. S.: I think that having the immortal remember these names is of great significance to her life, at least it will prevent her from living such an empty life.

A die-hard fan of the immortal is reporting in: Raise your hand if you want to see any couples!

Chapter 363, Section 380: Another "Good Brother"

At dawn, a wisp of smoke rose and spread from the gray-white charcoal fire. The Immortal Vermillion Bird on the stone bench remained sitting upright, her gaze still unfocused.

However, this time, the head resting on her knees seemed to sense the cold wind from the cave entrance, and it shrank back, moving a few more inches closer to Fu Hua's thighs, while its hands wandered improperly around the girl's waist.

I slept so well...

The pillows, in particular, are warm and resilient, and they also emit a subtle orchid fragrance.

Half-asleep, Kevin muttered to himself, yawning, and reached up with both hands, preparing to hook himself up from the headboard.

Wait... a pillow? Isn't this the cave from last night? Where did this thing come from?

Kevin was startled. He forced his heavy eyelids open a crack, and his blurry, upward gaze fell directly on his hand, which was pressing against the headboard...

What did I do last night? Oh right! Tell a story!

Later, feeling the effects of the alcohol and drowsy, I found a place to lie down and sleep.

So... waking up too early with a hangover isn't a good habit, go back to sleep...

Kevin muttered to himself, continuing to "sleep soundly" with his eyes closed, while his right hand subtly withdrew from the "Shenzhou Tablet".

However, at this moment the wind direction at the cave entrance changed, and the elongated shadow cast a blurry darkness over the place, filling it with an eerie atmosphere.

Fu Hua, who was on standby, suddenly became alert. She immediately picked up Kevin around the waist and moved him sideways several steps. The stone bench where the two of them had been sitting immediately shattered into pieces, and purplish-red virus crystals spread and grew.

Wearing only a thin nightgown, Ouma Mana stepped into the cave, her face pale, her teeth chattering, and her bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Who gave you permission to touch my things, you sow!"

She first searched the city for half the night, then secretly went out of the city and searched in the wilderness for five or six hours, encountering Spatial Storm along the way.

As a result, upon entering the cave, they saw that damned fox spirit groping her darling.

"Let him go, get out!"

But in an instant, Ouma Mana, upon seeing Fu Hua's face Ouma Mana, was somewhat taken aback and wary. This woman's performance in completely overwhelming Sirin in front of the Babylon Tower was too stunning and profound.

At this moment, even she herself was not confident that she could defeat Fu Hua. She should rescue Darling who had been kidnapped first!

The compromise Ouma Mana seemed to move Fu Hua, and the Immortal Vermillion Bird's gaze gradually became more focused and expressive.
