Reunited with Aein! / I Just Want Aein, and You Want Me to Be the Leader?

Ling Xi coughed and explained, "Before, because that girl Sirin lacked a sense of security, she did sleep with me all the time, but that was all. We didn't do anything else, but..."

Ling Xi gently ruffled Shigure Kira's hair and chuckled, "Starting more than half a month ago, that girl has rarely slept with me anymore. She's mostly been playing games or watching anime alone in her room, or playing games with Bella, so..."

Ling Xi gently kissed Shigure Kira and whispered with a smile, "I'll just stay here with you tonight."

"What do you mean 'make do'? If you don't like it, then get out!"

Shigure Kira was immediately displeased. This guy was the one who insisted on staying here, yet he still said he was making do and that he was being wronged.

"Hehe, I don't..."

Ling Xi hugged Shigure Kira tightly, determined not to leave. After all, if he pulled up his pants and ran away now, it would probably be difficult for him to get into Shigure Kira's bed again in the future.

"Snort..."

Shigure Kira simply hummed in response, but a smile played on her lips, clearly indicating that she still hoped Ling Xi would stay.

"Alright, Qiluo, let's take a bath and then go to sleep..."

Ling Xi loosened his grip on Shigure Kira a little, preparing to take her to take a bath and get some rest, since it was almost midnight.

"Uh-huh..."

Shigure Kira nodded, but didn't get up; instead...

He opened his arms directly to Ling Xi and hummed, "Hold me..."

"OK!"

Ling Xi smiled and very gently picked up Shigure Kira. Although this girl was a bit heavier Sirin, she was still a young girl. Her weight was probably not even in the three digits, so she could be carried around... cough cough!

Afterwards, Ling Xi carried Shigure Kira to the bathroom, and the two of them showered together, although... during the shower, Ling Xi briefly touched Shigure Kira's hand and they exchanged a few words of affection...

The next day, Ling Xi originally planned to go to Anti-Entropy, but because of Shigure Kira's matter, so...

Ling Xi ultimately decided to skip Ein for two more days, but next time she'll definitely!

However, since Ling Xi's body has gradually begun to recover, neither Fu Hua nor Shigure Kira can face the powerful Ling Xi alone now. But Ling Xi can't change his opponent halfway through, so it's really a bit of a dilemma!

Damn it, if only Fairy Sister were here! After all, if Fairy Sister were here, Fu Hua and Shigure Kira would definitely be tricked into playing together too!

Ah, it's been 54,867, 5 months and 3 days since Miss Fairy left. I miss her!

However, it will be more than ten years before the fairy awakens again, so...

For the sake of my own happiness, I have to solve this myself. Fu Hua should be easy to deal with, since that girl listens to me, but Shigure Kira... umm... I guess it will take some effort!

However, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, that girl only looks aloof on the outside, but her personality and inner self are very... lively!

So, bringing her along for gaming shouldn't be a problem!

Of course, I'll have to wait until I get back from the Anti-Entropy to talk about this, since it's not something that can be resolved overnight!

After spending several days with Shigure Kira, Ling Xi finally went to the North American headquarters of Anti-Entropy and met Ein, whom he had already stood up four times...

"Phew, I can finally see you, you busy man."

On the helipad of the Anti-Entropy base, Ein personally came to greet Ling Xi and reached out Ling Xi hand to him, though her tone sounded somewhat resentful.

"Uh... sorry, something came up and I was held up."

Ling Xi smiled awkwardly and didn't refute it. After all, no matter what, she couldn't erase the fact that she had stood Ein up.

"Never mind, come with me first."

Of course, Ein was just making a complaint, and then invited Ling Xi to enter the Anti-Entropy base together.

Chapter 652 Reencounter with Ein!

Compared to the Schicksal Headquarters on the floating island, Anti-Entropy's base is much less impressive. Although it looks grand, it is ultimately a ground-based building, and its scale is far smaller than that of the original Flame-Chasing Moths base!

However, they do have one thing in common: both the Flame-Chasing Moths and Anti-Entropy placed their core areas underground in their bases. It seems that whether in the sky or on the ground, it is ultimately safer than on the ground!

Ein led Ling Xi onto the electromagnetic railcar in the base, and as they drove towards the core area of the base, she explained the situation of Anti-Entropy to Ling Xi.

Similar to what Ling Xi had imagined, Anti-Entropy is more like an alliance than an organization. The leader has the highest power, followed by the various executors, who have power second only to the leader. Currently, Anti-Entropy has a total of five executors, including Ein, Tesla, and Raiden Ryoma, who are all conservatives!

But the other two implementers were reformers!

However, since Old Yang is now the highest combat force of Anti-Entropy and also the leader of the alliance, and with Ein Tesla and Raiden Ryoma supporting Old Yang, Anti-Entropy's power is actually quite centralized, at least... on the surface!

"By the way, where's Old Yang?"

While chatting with Ein, Ling Xi also inquired about Old Yang's whereabouts, since as the leader of Anti-Entropy, he should be staying at headquarters.

"Old... cough cough, the leader went to Chicago to attend a game promotion event."

Ein calmly said, "Although the new game is currently in the process of creating a new folder, because we have a firm cooperation agreement with Schicksal's products and culture are constantly invading our Anti-Entropy territory. In order to counter Schicksal's invasion, the leader personally went to promote and build momentum for our new game."

Ling Xi: "..." Why does this feel like... the style of this scene is starting to look weird!

"I'm saying, aren't you going to do anything about him?"

Ling Xi couldn't help but complain, "Although I don't like that guy, and neither does Sirin, he's still the leader of Anti-Entropy, isn't he? Sending a leader to promote a new game..."

In short, Ling Xi thought it was quite outrageous, because promoting the game under Old Yang's identity was just like Trump doing live-streaming e-commerce when he was in office.

"Ugh..."

Ein thought for a moment and said, "Because the leader is, after all, the leader of our Anti-Entropy Alliance, and his identity is known to everyone. In other words, when the leader promotes the new game, he is actually indirectly increasing Anti-Entropy's popularity and influence, so..."

Ein shrugged and smiled, "I have no reason to refuse an activity that is beneficial to Anti-Entropy."

Ling Xi: "..." This feels just like what Otto said to Amber back then...

I remember when Amber complained that Otto was neglecting his duties by developing games, Otto seemed to have said something similar...

"Don't be so surprised."

Seeing Ling Xi's speechless expression, Ein chuckled, "Because of your appearance, the era of confrontation between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy is over. From now on, humanity will cooperate more closely to fight against the Honkai, but..."

"Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are ultimately opposing forces. Now that the conflict of force no longer exists, the battlefield can only be moved elsewhere, such as..."

As Ein counted on her fingers, she said, "Anime, movies, games, and so on—things that can be exported as culture—this... is the theme of the future conflict between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy. It will gradually shift from military invasion to... cultural invasion!"

Ling Xi "..."

"Alright, we're here!"

Before long, Ein led Ling Xi to a living room, which was also where Ein usually rested and ate. Of course, on rest days or holidays, Ein would Tesla!

"Hmm... it feels a lot like the base in Capital City."

When Ling Xi entered the living room, she immediately had a sense of déjà vu, feeling that it looked very similar to the Anti-Entropy Base in Shenzhou.

"Of course, after all, it was built according to the structure here!"

Ein smiled and poured Ling Xi a cup of hot tea. "I remember you don't seem to like coffee, so I prepared a special tea from Shenzhou for you!"

"Thanks..."

Ling Xi did not refuse, took the teacup from Ein, and smiled, "But I still prefer milk tea to tea."

"Milk tea... okay, I'll prepare it next time."

Ein nodded silently, taking Ling Xi's words to heart...

Ling Xi: "..." I was just saying it casually...

But when it comes to milk tea... I still think Fairy Lady's milk tea is the best. Of course, Shigure Kira's is also good!

"So, Ling Xi, now..."

Ein looked at Ling Xi with a smile, "Could you tell me about the Previous Era?"

"Of course, but..."

Ling Xi glanced around briefly.

"Don't worry, this is my private space."

Ein clearly knew what Ling Xi was worried about, and smiled slightly, "So, apart from me and Tesla, no one can come in without our permission. Moreover, there are no surveillance cameras or eavesdropping here, and no third person will know if we talk here."

"Alright."

Seeing that Ein had said so, Ling Xi naturally felt relieved and asked, "Ein, what do you want to know, or... should I tell you from the beginning?"

Let's start from the beginning.

Ein chose the latter without hesitation and said with a smile, "After all, to understand a civilization, it is not enough to just know the events that happened in the civilization. You also need to know the history of the civilization. Ling Xi, you can start from the beginning."

"Can."

Ling Xi nodded silently, then said, "Legend has it that in a void, there was a huge mass of energy. Eventually, the energy exploded, forming our current universe. And 4.5 billion years ago, in a young galaxy, a planet called Earth formed in our solar system..."

Ein: "..." You motherfucker... Why don't you start from the beginning of the creation of the world by Pangu?

"Hehe, just kidding."

Ling Xi quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll start from the Third Honkai Eruption. As for the First and Second Honkai of the Previous Era, I won't talk about them since I didn't experience them personally."

"Um..."

Ein simply nodded slightly, without refuting.

"The story begins with the Honkai of a city called H City in Previous Era. Back then, I..."

Ling Xi tilted his gaze upwards at a forty-five-degree angle and said wistfully, "He was just an ordinary boy. That was a past he couldn't bear to recall, and also... my lost youth!"

Ein: "..." Can you at least get to the point...?

Ein forcibly suppressed the urge to beat this guy up and listened patiently. There was no way she could beat him.

Ling Xi stopped being silly and began to seriously tell Ein about the history of the Previous Era and some important things. When talking about the Previous Era, three people were always mentioned: Mobius, Mei, and... Ancestor Kevin!

Chapter 653 I just want Ein, but you want me to be the leader?

Since Ling Xi had already promised Ein to tell her about the Previous Era, she naturally wouldn't choose to be perfunctory, after all...

Ling Xi didn't actually mind telling Ein about her relationship with the Doctor, because she had always intended to bring Ein into the team, so...

It's time to show off the power of our Previous Era!

After all, as the saying goes, courtesy comes before force. As for courtesy, I have already done my best to be Ein!

And now, of course, it's about soldiers. We need to let Ein know the power of the Previous Era and the power of the forces behind her. Only in this way can Ein completely believe that she can defeat the Honkai, and at the same time, dispel any bad thoughts that Ein might have!

In short, Ling Xi has told Ein the story of the Previous Era in its entirety this time. Of course, there are still some things that should be kept from Ling Xi, after all, she is no longer one of them. If Ein wants to know more, then...

Let's wait until the Doctor and the others wake up before we talk about it.

After all, Ein and Tesla are essentially the equivalent of Mobius and Möbius from Previous Era, and these scientists, capable of creating limitless possibilities, might one day invent something that limits them, so...

Ling Xi certainly couldn't completely trust Ein, who wasn't entirely one of his own.

"Call..."

About an hour later, as Ling Xi finished her narration, Ein had also gained a general understanding of the history of the Previous Era. She couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that there would be such a magnificent story in your time. Your civilization... is indeed very powerful!"

"But such a powerful civilization still failed in the end."

Ling Xi simply shook her head and smiled, "We are just refugees who fled from Previous Era to this era."

"No, you have not failed."

Ein denied this, saying, "Because our civilization is just a continuation of yours, right? So... strictly speaking, we are all one civilization, it's just that... the time scale is a bit large, but that doesn't deny the fact that we are the same civilization."

After listening to Ling Xi's explanation, Ein also learned about the origin of the current civilization, which is just the descendants of the less than a thousand people who survived the Previous Era. Although the time scale between the two is 50,000 years, the actual time interval is only 5,000 years!

And these five thousand years are but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of history!

Therefore, it is clear that there is no difference between humans in the Previous Era and the current civilization during this short period of time, and they will certainly be able to reproduce and multiply normally. After all, both are human beings and belong to the same civilization!

"Maybe..."

Ling Xi smiled and didn't refute, stretching lazily as she said, "But you're not wrong, our defeat... that was only the end of the first half! Besides, back then, we humans forced the Honkai to Honkai in entirely on our own, so..."

"This is the second half, and we humans have our own gods now, in the future..."

Ling Xi stared intently at Ein and said, word by word, "We will definitely defeat the Honkai!"

"Yes, I... believe that!"
