Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 214: The White-haired Girl Holding the Holy Scar Crystal in Her Arms, Her Life Story Is a My

Jiang Ming began to carefully look at the woman who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, looking at him in surprise and helplessness.

The pure white bodice that seems to have covered the body since birth has an unusual structure, and it is almost impossible to damage it.

And the hair color is as pure white as a lily, with a few strands of hair dotted with cornflower color, which looks very harmonious.

What surprised Jiang Ming even more was that what was wrapped around his lower body looked like neither pants nor stockings, and the inner thighs were not covered by any clothing, revealing his full flesh without reservation, and thus coming into contact with the snow on the ground - so before he became excited, he must have been worried about whether he would catch a cold?

The pale white eyes flickered at him, and her snow-white skin made her look extremely pitiful as she knelt on the ground. It seemed that because she had just cried, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Similarly, at this moment, she was both surprised and scared. She was happy that she finally saw a living being again, but she was afraid that he might also die because of her.

"Please don't worry, I—"

"Please don't come over here!"

Before Jiang Ming approached her, she wanted to call him first, even though she had tried to "activate the stigmata" by awakening the stigmata in humans according to her mind in order to get close to humans.

However, those who had their stigmata activated all ended up dead without exception. Having seen too many deaths, she really didn't want to torture herself in this way again.

But how could this alone make Jiang Ming stop?

"How can this be possible? I came here simply to help you."

Jiang Ming spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he had no choice.

"What...?"

She ignored his confusing words and tried to leave or escape, but for some reason she couldn't move at all. The space around her seemed to be frozen, so she could only think but not move. Her theory subconsciously told her that this was the result of fear and panic.

Seeing that Jiang Ming was still walking towards her quickly, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

The world was plunged into darkness. Besides the knife-like feeling of the wind, the only sound she could hear was the gentle beating of her heart. However, she never expected that a new feeling would soon envelop her - a warm embrace.

“Huh…?”

She slowly opened her eyes and found her face pressed against the chest of the boy in front of her. She couldn't help but frown - she really didn't expect this result, but if this alone was not enough to surprise her, a trembling sound came out of her mouth.

"Why...are you okay?"

"Haha, you should already know your background. As an Ideal, you already have a lot of theoretical knowledge. As long as you think about it, isn't the answer in your heart?"

"What...?"

She immediately went to find the answers she wanted and soon discovered the magic in Jiang Ming.

"You are... a qualified person?"

Although it was unbelievable, she was surprised to find that the man in front of her actually possessed the kind of qualifications that only existed in theory. There was no doubt that he was a [Sacred Scar Awakener].

"If you mean the stigmata, then I do have that qualification."

Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, Jiang Ming no longer hid the cherry-colored three-magatama holy mark on the back of his right hand, but displayed it directly in front of her eyes. As if sensing the huge Honkai energy, the three-magatama flickered and emitted a faint light, which was reflected in her pupils.

And that huge amount of Honkai energy naturally emanated from this Holy Mark Crystal. In fact, even when Jiang Ming first came in front of her, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch secretly.

"Hey, hey...is this true?"

Although he knew that she was emitting a large amount of Honkai energy, he didn't expect it to be so huge. If he had to put it bluntly, it was probably that the Honkai energy that was originally intended to spread throughout Siberia was all concentrated on her body. Jiang Ming even felt that it was slightly inferior.

But these are actually irrelevant. What really matters is how I should convince her to believe in me and join me. However, before Jiang Ming could speak first, her question gave him a good opportunity.

"The hug just now...why?"

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming's eyes flashed with contemplation, and then he spoke softly.

"Well, I just think that the best way to cheer you up when you are at your lowest point is with a warm hug. It doesn't seem to be very effective, but it would be great if it could calm your panic. Sorry, did I scare you?"

"No...No, I just don't understand. By the way, why do you know my identity?"

She shook her head, not feeling any discomfort, but instead asked a question, which was exactly what Jiang Ming wanted.

"Well, um..."

Jiang Ming pretended to be in deep thought, which made her even more anxious. She desperately wanted to know the answer, which was not something she could understand with her theoretical knowledge and memory.

Finally, when she could no longer bear it, Jiang Ming smiled.

"You should also know why you were born, haha, Cecilia Shaniat. She took most of the credit for your appearance. I understand it very well. Speaking of which, we even knew each other during the second collapse."

"...?"

She subconsciously adjusted the time in her mind, and then re-recognized the snowfield and the second collapse. Soon, she got the answer she wanted.

"Are you... a black robe?"

"It is me, but I am sorry that I cannot reveal my identity to you. I hope you will keep it a secret."

She nodded. She didn't care about these things. And this way, everything made sense. Who was the man in black robe? He was mysterious and unpredictable. It seemed normal for him to have holy marks.

What she really didn't understand was why the other party came to her?

Wait... He just said that he came here just to help her, what does that mean? According to her memory, he should choose to help only for his own benefit. Is there anything about her that can attract him?

As if he could see the confusion in the other person's eyes, Jiang Ming still explained softly.

"You should also know that you exude a lot of Houkai energy. During the time I found you, many people must have been killed because of you, right? But this is not your fault. Not everyone is qualified, and not everyone has such good luck."

Jiang Ming paused and continued.

"So I'm here to help you this time, and indirectly help myself. I will help you get rid of the curse of the stigmata and make the huge amount of Honkai energy disappear. You may lose something, but it won't affect your future life. But you should also know that I never do anything that is not beneficial to myself."

"...How can I...help you?"

Jiang Ming showed a light smile. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually slightly happy in his heart. As long as she agreed to him, everything else would be easy. But then he slowly shook his head and said.

"Although I don't like to do things that are not good for myself, you are an exception. Therefore, I don't ask for anything in return, but you should also understand your status. So just stay with me for the time being. I will arrange a place for you later and will never let you feel lonely or bored. It's a win-win situation for us."

"..."

After a brief thought, she finally nodded.

"In this case, we are friends. I will help you remove the curse later, but first... please come with me to a place where we can talk slowly."

Jiang Ming took her hand and led her to walk in the direction they came from.
