While Ying was still recovering from the shock, a magnetic voice came from inside.
"Who are you?"
Ying was startled and quickly turned around.
A blue, humanoid creature wearing a hood and carrying a large syringe entered the base, looked at Ying, and said warily.
"Hello, are you the Collector?"
Ying quickly stood up and bowed to the Collector.
"I am the Collector, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello, I'm Ying."
Paimon popped out too. "I'm Paimon!"
The Collector stroked his chin, pondering carefully for a moment.
"Oh, it's you guys."
"I don't know him."
"Are you Albedo's friends? If so, please sit outside for a while; he'll be back soon."
The Collector spoke as he walked into the base.
Ying and Paimon arrived at the base entrance, gazing at the snowy scenery outside, slowly passing the time...
"Ying? Paimon? What brings you here?"
Albedo finally returned, followed by a guy who looked exactly like Albedo.
" Albedo! You're back! Uh, wait, Albedo, who's that behind you...?"
Paimon looked at Albedo, Albeless looked exactly like him, and hesitated.
"He is my mother's child, he should be my brother."
"It was also an unsuccessful experiment."
"However, in my opinion, Albeless is definitely successful, after all, he has developed his own emotions and can express them."
"That's something they do much better than me."
Albeless curled his lip. "Come on, if I hadn't been inside Durin's heart for so long, how could I have escaped from a place like a snow mountain!"
"I was almost able to take everything from Durin, but then someone used Durin's teeth to detonate the energy in his heart, making all my joy for nothing."
Ying wiped away non-existent sweat.
" Durin was resurrected by Jiang Xiaofeng, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to Mondstadt City to find you..."
"Hey! Let me go! I've got a plan!"
With Albedo released a black rope from Albeless's hand.
What are your thoughts?
Albedo looked at Albeless.
Albeless twisted his wrist.
"Come out."
A Cryo Whopperflower with a bunch of red patterns appeared at Albeless's feet.
"Is this all you're relying on?"
Albedo looked at Albeless as if he were an idiot.
"Even Void Knight clad in Second-Generation Void Armor couldn't defeat that Hollow Knight, so what use are you, a mutated Whopperflower?"
Albeless squatted down and touched the Whopperflower, smiling smugly, "This Whopperflower grew from the fruit of the Cryo Regisvine, which evolved after absorbing Durin's poisonous blood. It has the ability to mimic humans."
"Since the Hollow Knight can also mimic a human, I'll release this Whopperflower; the Hollow Knight will definitely be attracted to it."
"If he's not attracted, then I'll prepare more Void Power and Ley Line Energy to place around this Whopperflower. The Hollow Knight's instincts will surely drive him to kill the Whopperflower and absorb it."
"At that time, we just need to wait and see..."
fluorescent. "..."
Albedo: "What if it doesn't work?"
The Collector took over the question, "Then we'll have no choice but to go to the King to solve our mess."
"However, if we summon the King, we'll suffer physical pain again..."
Albedo: "To be precise, only you will suffer physical pain because it was you who came up with the idea."
Albeless nodded. "Indeed, I think so too."
The Collector:"..."
At this moment, Ying finally had a chance to interject.
"Um, everyone..."
The three people and the flower all looked at the little transparent fluorescent figure on the side.
Ying timidly raised her hand. "I can help too..."
Albedo nodded. "Indeed, Ying has experience handling such major events, so she should be able to help."
The Collector looked at Ying: "What help can this little girl be? Fighting? Can she defeat the Hollow Knight, who possesses the combat consciousness of the Beheaded?"
Albeless: "I feel like she's not very useful."
fluorescent. "..."
Left with no other choice, Ying had to demonstrate her power and dismantle a Ruin Grader for the three of them to see.
The Collector: "That's it?"
Albeless: " Elemental Power? Void Power can simulate any ability you want; we don't lack users of Elemental Power."
Albedo: "Fire, don't you have any other abilities?"
Now, even Albedo was starting to have doubts about Ying.
fluorescent. "..."
At the crucial moment, it was the Collector who was the first to relent.
"Fine, let her come if she wants. One more person won't make a difference."
"If we're too slow to escape and get killed by the Hollow Knight, that's not our problem; she came here of her own accord."
Albeless: "Isn't she just a shield? She's not even as capable as that girl who comes to the snow mountain to soak in the water even though she doesn't have time."
Albedo added, " Eula now possesses the complete Void Eye, making her far more powerful than before..."
Ying: Has no presence whatsoever.
Finally, the five people walked towards a clearing halfway up the snow-capped mountain.
Soon, the five people arrived at their destination.
Albeless summoned the Whopperflower and made it mimic his appearance.
" The Collector."
"They've arrived."
The Collector removed the syringe from behind him and injected it into Albeflower's arm.
"This is all the power of the Ley Line, you'd better catch it carefully."
Soon, a syringe full of Ley Line energy was injected into Albeflower's body, Albeflower immediately sat down cross-legged to try to soothe the Ley Line energy within her body.
Albedo refined five Solar Isotoma around the Albeflower, continuously releasing Void Power through the Void Eye.
The Collector opened the Starry Sky Gate, allowing the Abyss on the other side to release its Abyss Power.
I don't know how much time passed.
Ying suddenly felt a chill and instinctively drew her Blood Sword, becoming alert.
"Call--"
Just as Ying held the Blood Sword horizontally in front of her chest, a huge scythe came crashing down on her!
Ying originally intended to raise her Blood Sword to withstand the attack, but the Collector pulled her over with a hook.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
The Collector launched into a tirade against Ying.
At this moment, the Hollow Knight on the other side had already dispersed his giant scythe, slowly straightened up, and looked at the five people and one flower on this side.
At that moment, Ying Kai saw what the newcomer looked like.
He was wearing a tattered Second-Generation Void Armor set, with half of his helmet cracked open and his armor completely shattered, leaving only some shells covering his body.
Beneath the helmet was a white mask, and large patches of white armor covered the body.
"Is this the Hollow Knight from your notes?"
Ying could hardly believe it.
"You actually managed to create such a monster?"
