Ling Xi felt a little annoyed at the mention of Otto. Although Otto was very important for humanity in fighting the Honkai, she still couldn't stop herself from wanting to beat him up, especially last night. If it weren't for Otto, things might not have turned out this way.

"By the way, how's the situation at the base?"

Ling Xi temporarily suppressed her urge to beat up Otto and decided to ask about the base first. In fact, she had wanted to go to the base since she woke up, but the conditions did not allow it. With her strength, it was obviously impossible for her to take Sirin, a Herrscher, around, especially in Europe, which was Schicksal's main base.

Therefore, Ling Xi could only put aside the base matters for the time being and deal with Sirin's matter first. Now that Fu Hua has come, she might as well ask her about it.

"This..."

Fu Hua hesitated for a moment before saying, "The last time I contacted the base was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Little Klein told me that the Fourth Divine Key was about to disappear, and that in order to prevent humans from discovering the base, the core area of the base would be permanently sealed off until the set hibernation period ended!"

"Moreover, this kind of enclosure can only be opened from the inside; from the outside..."

Fu Hua shrugged and smiled helplessly, "Unless the entire base is destroyed, it's impossible to open it!"

"Closed off?"

Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Klein doing so. After all, humans with modern technology already had the ability to discover bases, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, sealing them off was indeed a good choice.

"Then... how long will it take for them to wake up?"

Now that the base is closed, Ling Xi temporarily gave up the idea of going to find the Doctor and the others, and instead asked about the question that she cared about most.

Around 2014.

Fu Hua calmly stated, "According to Little Klein, the Doctor and the others will awaken when the main storyline begins."

Ling Xi "..." Main storyline...

"Ahem, Ling Xi..."

Fu Hua coughed lightly and said, "We... haven't seen each other for so long, don't you... have anything to say?"

"Huh?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Then... what does Hua mean...?"

"Ugh..."

Fu Hua walked straight up to Ling Xi, placed her hands on either side of the sofa where Ling Xi was, and smiled slightly, "You... know what to do, right?"

Ling Xi: "???"

Chapter 615: A Helping Hand from Lady Cecilia

"Sirin, since you're German, why did you come to Shenzhou? Are you here to study?"

On a bench by the street, Cecilia and Sirin were having a very pleasant conversation, and then Cecilia asked the question out of curiosity.

"Because I've moved here."

Sirin continued eating her cake calmly, but a happy smile played on her lips. "Besides, my home is in this city now, not far from here, so is it strange that I'm in Shenzhou?"

"Oh? Home?"

Cecilia seemed puzzled for a moment, then chuckled, "Hmm... I didn't expect you to have moved to Shenzhou. Who did you come with? Family?"

"Family..."

When this topic came up, Sirin's mood immediately sombered. Her former family... was gone, and her new family was someone she had hurt, and she still didn't dare to go home...

"What's wrong?"

Cecilia noticed the hesitation in Sirin's eyes, so she asked her a question.

"Well... it's nothing, I just don't want to go home for the time being."

At this moment, Sirin had finished eating the cake, stretched, and said, "Because just recently I... um, never mind, it's nothing."

Sirin wanted to talk about her own affairs, but she remained cautious. She couldn't just casually talk about Ling Xi's affairs, as it might cause trouble for Ling Xi and herself as well.

Did you two have a fight?

However, Cecilia could not possibly be wrong, and she looked at Sirin with a slight smile.

"Eh..."

Sirin became even more wary. Sure enough, the more handsome Lü Ren was, the more dangerous he was!

"Heh, Sirin, don't be nervous, I won't ask any more questions."

Cecilia shook her head and smiled, "However, although I don't know what's going on between you, I still want to say that since we're family, there's no grudge that can't be resolved. After all, as family, mutual understanding is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"Ugh..."

Hearing Cecilia's words, Sirin also began to think and said, "But... I... made a very stupid mistake."

"He was so good to me, but... I doubted him because of something someone else said, and in the end..."

Thinking about this, Sirin became even more conflicted, "In the end, I also hurt my family who have always cared about me."

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing this, Cecilia had already made up her mind and smiled, "Then... do you think he will still believe you?"

"I..."

Sirin shook her head. "I don't know..."

"Did you apologize?"

Cecilia asked again.

"No..."

Sirin shook her head again, "I haven't gone back since I left last night..."

"Isn't that simple?"

Cecilia laughed and said directly, "Since you're family, isn't this something you should apologize for and explain? I said, there's nothing that family members can't talk about. Explain what happened last night and apologize, isn't that enough?"

"But..."

Sirin still seemed a little conflicted. "He... he'll be angry, won't he? After all... he's always been so good to me, but I doubted him without any basis."

Actually, the reason Sirin didn't want to go back wasn't because she was afraid of Ling Xi, but because she was afraid that Ling Xi's attitude towards her would change. Because even if Sirin asked herself honestly, if she encountered such a situation, then...

Obviously, even if he finds out the truth later, he will still be angry.

So, this is where Sirin's dilemma lies. Going back... if it could really be done as if nothing happened, that would be fine, but if...

Since we can't go back to the way things were, I don't know what to do with my future.

"You can rest assured about that."

Cecilia smiled slightly. "If he truly considers you family, and is really as good as you say, then... he will definitely forgive you. Perhaps... he will be angry, perhaps he will complain, but..."

Cecilia took Sirin's hand and smiled gently, "After all, you're still family, so... whatever conflicts or disagreements you have, you should speak them out as soon as possible. Otherwise, misunderstandings will only grow in the future, and then..."

"Perhaps, we will no longer be family, but the most familiar strangers who are like strangers on the road."

"..." Upon hearing this, Sirin also felt a sense Sirin crisis!

She had originally just wanted to use time to escape, but after hearing what Cecilia said, escaping... not only would it be useless, it might even make things worse. If Ling Xi really...

"Sirin ..."

Finally, Cecilia laughed again, "Listen to me, hurry home. I think... he's probably waiting for you to come back now."

"Real?"

Sirin immediately looked at Cecilia seriously.

"Um."

Cecilia nodded slightly and smiled, "If he really is as you say, and you are willing to believe him, then... he must be waiting for you to come home."

"I understand, thank you."

After thinking it through, Sirin decided to go home. If Ling Xi wasn't home, then she would go to... Anti-Entropy. Anyway, she was going back now.

"You're welcome, little sister. See you again someday."

Cecilia also waved to Sirin.

"Okay, see you again sometime!"

Without lingering, Sirin ran straight off into the distance...

"Sizzle..."

"Captain, why aren't you making a move?"

At that moment, Cecilia heard Shigure Kira's voice through the receiver in her ear.

"Ugh, how can we fight in the city? Besides..."

Cecilia smiled slightly and said, "In my opinion, Sirin is not a bad person at heart. She's more like... a child who ran away from home."

Shigure Kira "..."

Forget it, even if that's not the reason, it's best not to make a move in the city. After all, the power of Herrscher is enough to raze an entire city to the ground.

On the other side, after Sirin arrived at a certain corner, Bebedragon reappeared in front of Sirin, still respectfully saying, "Your Majesty."

"Bella, let's go home."

At that moment, Sirin didn't want to do anything else but hurry home to see if that guy was there.

"Ugh..."

Bella hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Um, Your Majesty, what about the delicious food you mentioned earlier..."

Sirin "..."

"Cough cough!"

Sirin coughed lightly and said, "I was chatting with a friend for a while, so I forgot."

Bella "..."

Bella's face immediately showed great resentment; she had actually been looking forward to it.

"Okay, Bella, I won't lie to you anymore."

Sirin quickly said, "Let's go home first. There's still cake in the fridge. I'll give it to you when we get back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bella perked up immediately upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Sirin felt a sense of anticipation. Ling Xi... should be waiting for her at home, right? If she is...

Then... I will never leave Ling Xi again, and even if I encounter anything in the future, I will never doubt Ling Xi!

So, with a heart full of excitement, Sirin rode Bebedragon and flew towards home.

Chapter 616: Shocking! The trigger for the Second Honkai War was actually...

"Uh, Hua..."

At home, facing Fu Hua's overwhelming power, Ling Xi seemed a little flustered. After all, Ling Xi knew Immortal Fu Hua's fighting strength very well. After the Immortal was first broken, she showed extraordinary talent, and later, Immortal almost made her cry out that she couldn't withstand it...

And now, he has only been resurrected for a short time, and neither his strength nor his physique has recovered to its peak level.

But Fu Hua... five hundred years.

The Immortal had waited for a full five hundred years, and had endured for five hundred years, so Ling Xi could hardly imagine how terrifying the Immortal's combat power would be at this moment.

"Ling Xi ..."

Fu Hua smiled slightly and said, "You've made me wait so long, is it too much for me to ask for some compensation now?"

"Hmm... not too much..."

Ling Xi answered somewhat weakly, because Ling Xi couldn't utter any words of rebuttal to the question.

After all, it was indeed his fault. He had just pushed the other person away a few days ago, and now he found himself five hundred years in the future, while the Immortal had been waiting alone for five hundred years...

"But, Hua, you know my current situation might be a bit inconvenient..."

However, despite being in the wrong, Ling Xi still felt that her life was more important, because the current Immortal looked like he wanted to devour people, and Ling Xi was afraid that if she agreed, she would be completely drained by the Immortal.
