The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

At the last lunch in 2013, Mikael was unexpectedly absent.

Mei cooked six dishes, which originally corresponded to one dish per person, but Mikael and Mebius were not there. The originally crowded dining table suddenly became very spacious. Kiana stretched her body casually without worrying about her arms. Touch others.

It's strange to say that for such a big man as Mikael, he usually doesn't have a strong sense of presence. Maybe it's because he either locks himself in the room most of the time, or runs outside alone and doesn't know what to do. .

Even if he occasionally appeared in everyone's sight, he would mostly pass by in a flash. At the beginning, he would occasionally chat with Mei Yi or Xi'er alone, but as time went by, even this kind of "private chat" didn't happen for a long time.

Therefore, Mei once thought that if Mikael suddenly disappeared one day, it would take a long time for everyone to realize that something was wrong, right?

But she was wrong. Except for Kiana who was still eating heartlessly at the dinner table, Bronya and Xier were unusually silent. Maybe they felt something...

Ah, it could also be because Mikael's disappearance was not sudden, but he had clearly appeared before, and very strangely did not come to attend the last lunch of the year, nor did he say hello, but just went back to his own business. The room... As long as you are not an idiot, you can feel the abnormality, right?

"Sister Meiyi, what's wrong with brother Mikael? Does he have a bad appetite today?"

Xi'er raised her chopsticks three times in a row and slowly put them down. In the end, she couldn't help but ask.

"He...well, he has some stomach discomfort today, and he got up late and has no appetite. But don't worry, he is not stupid at such an old age. He brought a sandwich in front of me before. ”

"oh……"

Xi'er nodded, tentatively believing this rhetoric, but she was not at ease.

"Then...sister Bronya, after dinner, let's go see brother Mikael!"

"Uh...it's not necessary..."

Bronya originally just wanted to eat quietly and didn't want to get involved in any topics related to Mikael. After all, among the four girls here, she is the only one who has seen Mikael "use force" in a real sense. Mikael has long become synonymous with danger in her eyes, even though they have been together for almost a month and a half, Every time she came into close contact with him, Bronya couldn't help but tense up her muscles.

If it weren't for Xi'er being here and some compelling reasons, she would never want to be associated with such a dangerous person.

But looking at Xier's firm eyes, she could only swallow her words of rejection and changed her approach:

"Ahem! Xi'er, Sister Meiyi is right. He is an adult. He will not be like some idiot who either sleeps until dinner and forgets to eat, or eats too much and is unable to fall asleep."

"Ah? Who are you talking about!"

Kiana, who was sitting on her right, had just finished chewing a fried chicken leg and turned her head unhappily when she heard these words. Although she is ridiculed as an idiot from time to time, she has been ridiculed a lot, and she has gained experience - of course, this experience does not mean that she is immune to these ridicules, but that she is very familiar with the words that ridicule her, and she will know it as soon as she hears it. What are you saying about yourself... This is indeed stupid.

Bronya shrugged, reached out and grabbed her own fried chicken leg from the plate, and stuffed it into Kiana's mouth without hesitation.

"Hmm~"

Kiana's eyes narrowed together for a moment, but after a while, she seemed to realize that she had surrendered too easily. She raised her eyebrows again and glared back at Bronya fiercely.

But Bronya didn't want to talk to her at all at this time.

"So Xi'er, you don't have to worry too much about that guy."

Seeing the worry that could not be concealed on Xi'er's face, Bronya was speechless, but she was not surprised.

Needless to say, she was speechless, but she really wanted to remind Xier that, strictly speaking, Mikael had kidnapped the two of them. There are robbers on one side and hostages on the other. How can the hostages worry about the robbers?

Well...there is no such truth, but when Bronya thought about it, this kind of thing was not uncommon. Putting aside the so-called Stockholm Syndrome, Bronya actually encountered it several times when she was in Siberia.

After all, Siberia is an area with almost no order, and there are only a few military and police personnel who are still barely maintaining law and order. When dealing with ordinary kidnapping cases, it is naturally beyond the capabilities of rescuing hostages. But if we just let the kidnappers go, it will only make this group of people more arrogant and further cause the collapse of order. Therefore, the only choice left to the Siberian military police under certain circumstances is not to set the mission goal of rescuing the hostages, but to kill the kidnappers.

In this case, distinguishing between kidnappers and hostages becomes useless and naturally unnecessary. In order to survive, the hostages can only pick up a gun and fight off the attack of the military and police together with the robbers.

If I remember correctly, two uncles from Uncle Maxim's mercenary group were kidnapped...

Bronya smiled to herself, but when she saw the lingering worry on Xier's face, she couldn't help but sigh.

This is not Siberia, and there is no reason why hostages have to fight with their kidnappers to survive...

But it's not surprising, because Xi'er is such a kind person.

Bronya smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Lunch time just passed by muddle along. As the person who ate the most, Kiana was deservedly caught by Mei in the kitchen washing dishes. Mei herself took a mop, dipped it in some water, and started to mop it up before eating. All over the floor.

Xi'er stood at the top of the stairs, sometimes looking at the crackling kitchen, sometimes looking at the silent second floor, hesitating whether to help the unreliable Kiana clean the dishes first, or to go and see the kitchen first. Look at Mikael's situation.

But Bronya had nothing to hesitate. She hummed a tune that no one else could understand. She didn't care about the holiday homework that she hadn't touched a word. All she could think about was the latest version of Homu Battle that she just bought yesterday. CD.

But everything stopped when the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Ding dong——"

"Huh? Mebius must be back."

Meiyi smiled, not nervous at all. If Mikael hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that there was a complete set of intelligent security systems hidden in the garden and walls of her villa. If someone climbed over the wall without permission, they would be knocked over immediately by the electric motor. The only way to enter here safely is through the courtyard gate. To open the gate, either the visitor must be authenticated by the system, or Mikael can open it directly through the console. In other words, the fact that the other party can ring the doorbell of the villa already means safety.

Although it is not ruled out that the visitor is strong enough to directly bypass this entire defense system, but if that were the case, Mikael would not have had any reaction until now.

And when Mebius, a liar, left early in the morning, he had promised to come back at noon for the last lunch of the year, but in the end he broke the promise. Counting the delay in doing things, it was almost done now, right?

"Fortunately, I left some food for her."

Meiyi boasted, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.

"Welcome back, Mebius...ah! You are..."

It's not Mei Yi's fault, it's because Mebius is so short that Mei Yi's gaze naturally goes over her head and falls on the other woman behind her.

"boom!"

Bronya and Xier just turned their heads to look in the direction of the door, and saw only a faint hint of military green. Before they could react, Mei closed the door roughly.

"I...am I blinded?"

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, took three deep breaths, then turned around again and slowly opened the door.

The facts will not change just because she doesn't want to believe it. Standing behind Mebius, it is obvious that the person she brought here is the same as Coco, whom she had seen on the news and became the new president of ME. Leah looks exactly the same.

Well, she was wishful thinking again. Rather than saying that they look exactly the same, it’s better to boldly admit that there is no doubt that it is Cocolia himself.

But she still pointed at Cocolia and asked without giving up:

"Mebius, she is..."

Mebius shrugged and tilted his head, which was a typical action language - you know it.

Mei Yi wanted to say something, but the muscles in her throat tightened under the tension, and no sound came out.

But just because she can't make a sound doesn't mean that others can't make a sound.

"Cokolia... mother."

Xi'er walked quietly to Mei Yi, so quiet that she couldn't even hear her footsteps or breathing, only the echo of "Kokolia" lingered.

After her, Bronya also walked to the door and called out "Mother Cocolia" with a somewhat complicated expression.

Cocolia nodded slightly, then lowered her head slightly. Her eyes once again passed over Mebius's head and fell on the face of the girl who had the same hair color as Thunder Ryoma, but her facial features were much softer and more beautiful.

"This is our first meeting. Hello, Raiden Mei."

Meiyi's lower jaw bulged to both sides, and she clenched her teeth obviously.

She tried to calm down her mood, using the old method of taking a deep breath...

Inhale, exhale, inhale again...

Once, twice, three times...

**! I can't bear it anymore!

Mei Yi grabbed the door panel with both hands and swung it forward——

"boom!"

The door did not close as expected. Mebius opened his slender arms and casually stretched out two or three fingers to touch the door, and the two thick door panels rolled feebly back along the path they came from.

"Mebius, what on earth is going on?"

Mebius's action calmed Mei down a little, but that was all. She still blocked the door with her body, blocking the only way to enter the villa.

"Don't be so nervous, Mei."

Mebius showed a meaningless smile. There could be no relief, embarrassment or anger in that smile. It was just a smile that was so simple and meaningless.

"Mei Yi, sometimes a useless stalemate will not bring any results. If you feel that you can't figure out the problem and you can't accept it, it's better to change to a more direct way of thinking and seek the answer directly from the person who can give you the answer. Bar."

Meiyi frowned. She naturally didn't know who the "person who could give the answer" that Mebius mentioned was, but...

In just a dazed moment, Mebius squeezed a path out of her side.

Meiyi watched helplessly as Cocolia stepped into the villa, and watched as the distance between the two door panels became smaller and smaller until the last ray of light was completely swallowed up.

"hateful!"

Except for the day when the mutation occurred, her mood had never been so complicated.

She was confused and confused, and didn't understand why Michael and Mebius would allow Cocolia to come here.

Because of this, she felt extremely angry.

She suddenly turned around, ignoring the people with different expressions in the living room, and rushed straight into Mikael's bedroom on the second floor.

"Ah...I finally finished washing..."

I don't know whether it was intentional or a coincidence, but Kiana stretched out of the kitchen at exactly this moment, but did not see the familiar figure in the living room.

In contrast, there was a figure in the living room that she had never seen before. She nodded to herself, as if she understood something, and jumped up to Cocolia, praising her innocently:

"Wow! Mei! Why did you put on new clothes while I was washing the dishes... Well, you even put on makeup and a wig..."

"Idiot, it's hopeless."

Bronya commented from the side.

Even Xier subconsciously nodded in agreement.

…………

"So, Cocolia's problem is more complicated. Before we understand the whole story, we can't rush to completely establish her as an enemy."

When Mebius opened the door to Mikael's bedroom, he heard him flirting with Mei in a serious manner.

"Uh...Mikael, maybe it's my problem, I still feel like I don't quite understand..."

"Then let's ignore those details and sort out the results in the most straightforward way."

The two of them tacitly ignored Mebius's presence and talked to themselves.

"I have been investigating your father's affairs for more than a month. Cocolia is indeed the biggest beneficiary on the surface, but it is not certain that she is the mastermind behind this matter. You can also ask Bronya, the existence of Cocolia is indeed a necessary part of this matter, but there are too many doubts about the whole matter. For example, your father's crime and the documents that can prove the crime were all revealed by another unknown person. The existence of Ming was directly exposed, and Cocolia only acted passively."

"How could it be... Then besides Cocolia, who else would have the need to target my father?"

"A lot."

Mikael rolled his eyes.

"I should have briefly explained to you the relationship between Destiny, Counter-Entropy and ME Club before, right? For Counter-Entropy Headquarters, since ME Club is an important source of income, naturally it is best to have it completely in your own hands. As for Tianming... I can't tell what the evil-doing Archbishop Otto thinks. In short, in this matter, Cocolia is a cannon fodder at best. Even if he wants to be liquidated, he has to stay. In the end, before that, we have to let her shine more, do you understand?”

Mei pursed her lips and nodded, then turned to look at Mebius who had been standing aside for a long time, and silently left Mikael's bedroom.

"Tsk! You just fooled her like this, don't you feel guilty?"

"Of course, but it's necessary."

Mikael shook his head slowly, his movements were like a slow robot.

"Haha, okay, Mingren won't tell secrets. Cocolia actually has one more question that I want to ask you face to face this time, but now I'll convey it to you."

"What?"

"When will the Conquest Gem be activated? And, since the X-10 experimental plan is cancelled, what should be done with the Tranquility Gem?"

"It won't be long, wait for me..."

"Dong dong dong——"

A knock on the door interrupted Mikael's words. The door handle turned slightly, and Mei Yi, who had just left, poked her head in, with a look on her face that she was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"Mikael, what you said before about going to see my father, does it still count?"

"Huh? Of course."
