Collapse, I'll Transform and Punch You Directly

"Huh?"

After hearing Bai Chen's abstract description, Seele subconsciously wanted to say she didn't know, but a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her mind. It was as if she did have some impression?

"Have you seen him?"

Bai Chen was a bit surprised by Seele's reaction. He had only asked with a tentative attitude, but he didn't expect Kevin to have contacted Seele so early?

"I wouldn't say I know him? But I do have an impression."

Seele had been in this World Bubble for a while, and she seemed to remember seeing someone who fit Bai Chen's description somewhere in this World Bubble.

Then, Seele led Bai Chen in the direction of her memory.

Bai Chen was even more dumbfounded by this development. Could it be that Kevin was in this world?

Although Kevin didn't have Chi You as a supplement, and his strength definitely wasn't at its peak, Bai Chen still didn't want to run into him.

What if he found Bai Chen interesting and took him to World Serpent? If that happened, wouldn't he have to go see Elysia directly? Or go directly to see Elysia?

Just as Bai Chen was lost in his daydream, Seele pointed at a huge electronic screen, slapping him in the face.

"Academy Hunk Pageant, quickly cast your vote for the ideal aesthetic in your heart!"

[No. 1: The Swimsuit Popsicle Riddle Man]
[No. 2: Want to Take a Bath with Otto-sama?]
[No. 3: Who Can Tell Me Why All I Can Cook is Barbecue?!]
...

Hiss, Bai Chen gasped, utterly terrified. Where the hell had he ended up?

Chapter 56: Strange

Looking at the images on the electronic posters, Bai Chen felt like his eyes were being stabbed. Especially with Otto lying in a bathtub playing with rubber duckies, Bai Chen really felt like his eyes were about to bleed.

"Seele, why did you have to show me this!"

Bai Chen asked Seele, on the verge of tears.

He didn't want to see any of this! He'd rather go confront the real Kevin!

"But... wasn't this what Bai Chen wanted?"

Seele replied weakly, with not a trace of malice in her pure eyes.

"Uh, you're not wrong."

Bai Chen felt like he was about to explode from internal injuries. He felt like Seele might have a hidden dark side.

"Hahaha!"

Black Seele, on the other hand, was laughing non-stop inside Seele's body. So this was what the guy hated.

If Bai Chen knew Black Seele was laughing at him, he would definitely retort – if you knew that the people on the list were all people from his original world, you wouldn't be able to hold it together either.

"Cosmo isn't on it."

At that moment, Bai Chen noticed a blue-haired loli who had come over next to them. Her calm voice seemed to carry a hint of disappointment.

The screen only showed the top three, and Cosmo wasn't on it.

Griseo? Bai Chen curiously observed Griseo's attire.

Yep, she really wasn't wearing shoes, not even outside.

Didn't it hurt her feet? Wouldn't she get dirty? It must be due to Honkai energy. Honkai is so magical, isn't it?

From Griseo's words, Cosmo had also participated? Did that mean all the men in the Honkai world had participated?

If so, they had all lost to the third place contestant who hadn't even shown his face!

"Little Griseo, you're here too?"

Just as Bai Chen's thoughts were in chaos, a cheerful voice interrupted him.

That voice… it could only be that woman.

Bai Chen looked over and indeed saw a pink figure, as enchanting as a fairy, walking toward them.

Elysia. It was her, but unfortunately, not the Elysia from the main world.

"Wow, little Griseo, are these your new friends?"

Before anyone could react, Elysia rushed forward without any regard for personal space, hugging both Bai Chen and Seele.

"Ah!!!"

Bai Chen was okay, but Seele was at a loss the moment she was hugged, squirming uncomfortably.

"You pink fatty! Let go of Seele!"

For some reason, the moment Black Seele saw Elysia hug Seele, an inexplicable fire surged in her heart. Black Seele was furious!

Of course, Elysia couldn't hear Black Seele's impotent rage.

Right now, Elysia was kneading Bai Chen and Seele like she had found some handy dolls, dragging them toward another direction.

"Eh? Wait a minute!"

Before Bai Chen could explain, Elysia didn't give him a chance to speak, quickening her pace and leading the two away from their original spot.

By the time Bai Chen came to his senses, he realized that they had been led by Elysia into an apartment!

Along the way, Bai Chen kept trying to explain that they didn't know Griseo at all, but he was interrupted by Elysia's enthusiastic questions, leaving him no chance to speak.

Seele was even worse; she seemed to be in a daze, still not recovered.

Neither he nor Seele had strong personalities. Would things be different if Kiana were here?

Thinking of this, Bai Chen sighed helplessly.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Bai Chen felt a reaction from Fu Hua's feather within him.

"Class Monitor?"

Out of concern, Bai Chen asked.

"No... It's nothing. I just feel like this woman in front of us seems a bit familiar."

Fu Hua quietly observed Elysia's appearance. This sense of familiarity suggested that she should know her, right? She wondered what their relationship was like?

Familiar? More than familiar. Bai Chen mentally retorted.

Elysia's death was a scar on every one of the Flame-Chasers, even Chijie, who was always enveloped in anger, would feel... upset about it.

After settling Bai Chen and Seele in, Elysia excitedly went to prepare refreshments, as if she hadn't had guests in a long time.

"..."

Seeing Elysia so happy, Griseo, who followed closely behind, hesitated for a moment about whether to tell the truth. But Mama Aponia taught her that children should be honest.

"Actually... I don't know them."

As Griseo replied, Elysia's movements suddenly froze, and several beads of awkward sweat appeared on her forehead.

"I'm so sorry."

Elysia held the refreshments up to the two of them, smiling apologetically.

"Hmph! That's what you get for not listening to others!"

Black Seele, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately took over, greeting Elysia with displeasure.

"I'm sorry! It's just that Miss Seele is so cute, it's hard to resist."

Elysia pretended to be troubled, tapping her head.

"Hmph, it's true that Seele is cute. But you can't just drag people along like that."

Black Seele indicated that although this woman was quite reckless, her taste in people wasn't bad.

"Another me!!!"

The withdrawn Seele blushed crimson at such praise.

Bai Chen, watching from the side, felt embarrassed for Seele. But roughly, they could only leave tomorrow, so where should he and Seele sleep tonight?

Should he go to the St. Freya dorms and see who was in the rooms there? Although the map of St. Freya here was a bit different, like this big apartment, some places were the same, like the layout of the dorms.

So Bai Chen prepared to say his goodbyes first, but he suddenly noticed that although Elysia kept talking to Seele, her eyes were actually glancing at him subtly.

That gaze seemed to be hinting at something?

"Um, I'm going to the restroom first."

Bai Chen decisively excused himself and ran to a corner where no one was watching, standing there silently. As expected, Elysia followed not long after.

"So... is there something you want to talk about?"

Bai Chen looked up into Elysia's eyes. Elysia's level of hinting must mean she had something to say to him.

"You guys... aren't from this world, are you?"

Elysia immediately asked the key question.

Although Bai Chen was surprised at hearing this question, he didn't feel too much shock.

After all, Elysia was the most special of the Herrschers. It wouldn't be surprising if she was a bit more special in other World Bubbles.

There was no need to hide it, so Bai Chen directly nodded, acknowledging his status as an outsider.

"You need to be careful. Actually, before I brought you back to the apartment, you were already being watched."

Chapter 57: A Dark Threat

"?"

The sudden words surprised Bai Chen. Then he heard Elysia continue to explain some things.

In short, Bai Chen and Seele were being watched when they first came to this world. There was a rather special existence in this World Bubble, and that person wasn't satisfied with just being trapped in such a World Bubble that could disappear at any time.

So she would use every means to capture outsiders, trying to leave this World Bubble in that way.

If Elysia hadn't arrived in time, Bai Chen and the others would have probably been attacked.

As long as Elysia was with them, that special guy wouldn't immediately take action out of caution.

This was also the reason why Elysia was so assertive at the beginning. It wasn't that she deliberately interrupted others' explanations; she wanted to protect them first.

"My strength is actually not weak."

Bai Chen indicated that he had some big stuff in his hands now, and coupled with the Stigmata he had recently unlocked, if that guy really dared to attack, it wasn't certain who would be hitting whom.

"I know you're strong, but I just don't want anyone to get hurt between you and her."

Elysia smiled and stroked Bai Chen's face, not knowing if she really believed it or was just comforting a child.

"Me and her?"

Letting Elysia play with him, Bai Chen pondered Elysia's words. Did "me and her" refer to Seele, or did it refer to that special guy?

"Huh? Elysia, did you bring back another child I don't recognize?"

While Bai Chen and Elysia were staring at each other, a tired voice came from upstairs, interrupting their interaction.

Hearing the sound, Bai Chen also stepped out from around the corner, looking towards the source of the voice.

It was Mobius in her mature form!

Even though she was in an apartment, she was still wearing that strange white coat, with that messy green hair... could this person have just gotten out of bed?

"Oh dear, Mobius, it's three in the afternoon now, and you're just getting out of bed? That's not good for your skin."

Elysia didn't pick up on Mobius's words, but instead introduced a new topic.

"Tch."

Hearing Elysia mention skin, Mobius glanced at Elysia's fair and smooth skin and immediately felt displeased.
