The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

Chapter 432 Don’t worry, there’s still...oh, it’s hopeless

"Huh? Is this a magic knife?"

Kiana, who was closest, tilted her head, thinking that she was seeing the kind of terrifying magic show she had only seen on TV. It's not that she doesn't think in that direction, but that possibility...how is it possible? Impossible, right? Absolutely impossible, right?

"Idiot Kiana! Don't come near her!"

Bronya immediately raised her gun and aimed at Mei, but she found that Xier was actually faster than her. If it weren't for the bodies of Mebius, Mei, and Kiana being almost overlapped, she might have pulled the trigger. .

"Huh? What are you doing? Mei is performing a magic trick for everyone! Why are you so nervous..."

Kiana danced and explained that although she was a fool, she did not believe that wishful thinking could rewrite reality. She just still did not want to believe this fact.

To break this wishful thinking, Mebius only needed to vomit a mouthful of blood.

"vomit--"

The bright red blood made Mebius's face look paler. She raised her left hand and gently placed it on the blade that had pierced her body. Seeing this, "Mei" rotated her wrist, and purple thunder and lightning clung to the blade. On the bed, Mebius's wound instantly turned into a charred black mass, and the disgusting fragrance filled the entire equipment room with the rising white gas.

"Mei Yi, there is still a follow-up to your magic, hahahaha..."

Kiana touched the stupid hair on her head. She looked like an ostrich and continued to play dumb, but her other hand finally put it on the pistol grip - even though it was only taken away the moment it touched, and she turned to hold it. He grabbed the baseball bat behind him.

"Shut up! You don't understand anything!"

"Mei" shouted suddenly, then turned around, only to see that the hand that Mebius originally stretched out to her was still straight.

She held the blade that was deep into her heart with one hand, but made no attempt to pull it out. On the contrary, she held the blade firmly and pulled the knife towards her little by little, while her right arm was still stretched straight forward. Before "Mei Yi" could react, green lightning arcs were dancing in her body. His fingers gently touched Mei Yi's forehead.

"Crack-"

After such a crisp sound, the purple light in Mei Yi's eyes dimmed instantly, and her eyes gradually became hollow and confused. Her eyes also turned back and forth between her hand, the red color flowing down the blade, and the dull Kiana beside her. Two laps.

It wasn't until Mebius continued to move forward that she opened her jaw and let go of her hand with trembling lips.

Mebius staggered, but did not fall. Instead, he took two steps faster and arrived in front of Mei Yi. He leaned forward and rested his chin on Mei Yi's shoulder.

Her chin was already sharp, and if she concentrated all her weight on it and pressed it down, it might be very uncomfortable.

But Mei didn't feel much weight on her shoulders. Of course, Mebius's figure was thin and petite, like a child's, but even a real child wouldn't be so light!

Mei even felt that it was not Mebius who was holding her shoulders down, but half an apple. This was of course impossible in reality, and it was this kind of detail that made her think that she was still existing in a dream not long ago until this moment.

But even though she thought it was a dream, she still instinctively reached out and hugged Mebius tightly.

Blood continuously overflowed from the corners of Mebius's mouth, slipped down through his chin, and finally melted on the T-shirt on Mei's shoulders.

The smell of blood was covered by a strange fragrance, and the blood did not have the legendary scalding temperature, but was as cold as Mebius's body temperature.

"This is a dream, this is a dream, this is definitely a dream!"

Listening to Mei Yi's tireless chanting, Mebius's mouth twitched to the side twice.

"Fool, this is not a dream..."

Meiyi's jaw trembled and opened, but all that came out was a hollow and hoarse breath. Her eyes wandered left and right, turning to Mebius uncontrollably, but when they touched the green, they bounced sideways twitchingly.

"sorry……"

Mebius chanted silently.

"sorry……"

She repeated the word again, slowly bent her right arm, and her five fingers flashing with green lightning arcs grabbed the back of Mei Yi's head again.

But until the end, that hand only gently held Mei's head.

"I'm sorry, Mei Yi... don't blame yourself, Mei Yi... I originally... came to kill you... It's a pity..."

Saying this sentence completely finally exhausted all her strength, her vision gradually blurred, and her consciousness was completely swallowed by darkness.

"Mebius? Mebius?"

Mei called softly twice, and the only response Mebius gave her was a corpse that gradually became cold and stiff.

"Ho...ho...ho..."

Mebius' last embrace was so tight that it almost suffocated her. She pushed Mebius's body away little by little, but suddenly realized something and turned around to hug him tightly.

"Why, is this happening?"

She turned to look at Kiana, but the latter just stared at the dead Mebius with her mouth wide open, without saying a word.

"Why is this happening?"

Mei turned to look at Bronya again, but all she saw was the black muzzle of the gun, and the cold questioning voice:

"who are you?"

"I...I am, Raiden Meiyi..."

Such an answer naturally does not satisfy Bronya, let alone Meiyi herself.

In other words, with her intelligence, she should have understood everything as soon as she realized that this was not a dream.

But she still held on to her last chance and turned to look at Xi'er.

"Why is this happening?"

Xier opened her mouth to say something, but turned her head strangely.

"It's... it's me... it's her?"

Meiyi was obviously speechless. She kept taking deep breaths of the cold air, but could not breathe out.

"Mei Yi, you..."

Kiana mustered up the courage to walk to her side and reached out to take Mebius' body. From the beginning to the end, Mei just remained silent and motionless.

Seeing that she did not hurt Kiana, Bronya moved the hand holding the gun downwards, moving the target of the crosshair from her heart to her lower limbs.

But she didn't rush to inquire immediately. The equipment room was only such a big place, and she also heard Mebius's last words.

Is Mebius here to kill Mei?

Bronya was not particularly surprised. Mebius had vaccinated her before - "You will know what it means soon."

It turns out that this is what the so-called "surprise" means.

There is no time to be sad. As the only one among the few people who has an online IQ, can still remain calm, and has a certain information advantage, she must shoulder the responsibility of the "brain".

Why did Mebius kill Mei? If she remembered correctly, Cocolia wanted to have Mei Yi completely in her hands. Why was Mebius's choice completely opposite to hers?

Why would Meibius kill Mebius with a single blow? Was it because she sensed Mebius' murderous intention and struck first?

No, this is not in line with Mei Yi's character at all. Based on her experience as a eldest lady, it is probably difficult to detect the so-called "murderous intention".

Compared to her behavior from noon to now, this is not the first time she has behaved abnormally. In this situation... the first thing Bronya thought of was the "second personality". Although this kind of thing sounds incredible, when other options cannot be consistent and only this possibility can achieve a logical closed loop, No matter how outrageous this possibility is, it will undoubtedly be the correct answer.

Moreover, it is not completely unexplainable, for example: the Conquering Stone houses the consciousness of another person, and as the power of the Conquering Stone gradually awakens, this consciousness is gradually replacing Mei's original consciousness.

That’s why the question came up: “Who are you?”

Seeing that Mei Yi's condition was gradually stabilizing, Bronya asked the question again, but her tone had softened a lot:

"Sister Mei...are you still sister Mei?"

Mei Yi remained silent as always, just squatting down slowly, curling up her whole body, and moved to the corner bit by bit.

"well……"

Bronya winked at Xi'er and Kiana, and the three of them tiptoed to the door of the equipment room, and gently closed the door - the equipment room naturally had no windows, so as long as the door was guarded, even if Mei wanted Can't even walk away.

Of course, she could also take out the weapons inside and fight her way out, which was not impossible, but there was nothing Bronya could do about it. At least if something like this really happened, there would be a chance for a few people to escape outside the equipment room.

After leaving the door, Kiana consciously laid Mebius's body flat on the ground. Bronya squatted down, briefly inspected it and shook her head.

"There is no breathing, no pulse, the heart has been directly chopped and roasted, and the pupils are dilated. It is confirmed that he has lost his vital signs."

Bronya breathed a long sigh of relief, but when she stood up, she felt that the whole world was in a trance along with her - Mebius was really dead. Although this world was magical, she still didn't believe that anyone could be there. Survive this situation.

But no matter what, this matter is still filled with a strong sense of unreality. Mebius, such a powerful person, was killed so easily? He died in the hands of a girl less than seventeen years old, and died by an ordinary knife.

Theoretically speaking, there is indeed no problem. People will die when they are killed. No matter how strong a person is, they are still human. However, this method of death cannot be said to be very dramatic, it can only be said to be full of black humor.

what is this? A super human who can easily kill a 20-meter-level Honkaiju in an instant was begged on the spot by a seventeen-year-old beautiful girl because of a moment of weakness?

Eh?

Bronya suddenly remembered something - Mebius, had she anticipated this possibility? Otherwise, why would they use the excuse of "maybe not being able to take care of them" to bring them here to look for weapons in an unnecessary way?

She was prepared... No, how could it be possible? It is undeniable that some people are willing to sacrifice their lives for certain things, but Mebius's previous words and actions did not indicate that the person who was about to sacrifice would unknowingly Exposed emotions.

Either relieved, nervous, or regretful, nothing at all.

In other words, was it really an accident? It's just that Mebius anticipated the possibility of being killed by Mei, so he made preparations for them in advance, giving them a chance to fight out alive even without him, or to survive until Mikael came to save him. ……

It’s all connected, it’s all connected.

Mebius's so-called interests between her and Mikael are not completely consistent, and he probably refers to his attitude towards Mei. There might even have been a quarrel between the two before Mebius came here.

Mikael should have refused to kill Mei, for a simple reason. If he was willing to do so, not to mention that he could do it himself, he would have no reason to save Mei's father.

And Mobius chose to kill Mei, but he hesitated and didn't do it until he was killed...

Damn! What a complete and rigorous line of argument!

As for... why did Mobius want to kill Mei...

"Conquer the gem... Mei's sister... and this disaster... Is this the kind of 'weapon' that Cocolia wants? She didn't do anything yet, but she easily destroyed the entire city. If she had mastered this power completely... Damn! It's really Cocolia's style!"

Bronya clenched her fists until her joints made a "crackling" sound. If this is the case, Mobius' motive for killing Mei can be understood. Such a powerful force would be fine if it could be controlled... Looking at Mei's current state, it is definitely impossible to control it. From an absolutely rational point of view, it is naturally more beneficial to humans to kill her.

But she felt that there must be something else behind the incident. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with this inference, the result should be similar, but she always felt that she had overlooked something, just like when playing a jigsaw puzzle, before the face puzzle was put together, she had already guessed who the person was...

The pieces were clearly in her hands, but she ignored them for a while...

Yes! "Such a disaster"!

What is such a disaster? Wasn't the situation in Siberia back then similar to that of Changkong City now? In addition, anyone who knows a little about world history should know that a "disaster" also occurred in Berlin more than 60 years ago. The whole city suddenly fell into a sea of ​​fire, and 300,000 people died in the first place...

If Bronya is still a little unclear about the disaster in Siberia, any member of Anti-Entropy will know the disaster in Berlin. Because the first leader of Anti-Entropy was born from that disaster, a hero named "First Ruler".

"So...it turns out...no wonder the so-called Conquest Gems and Serenity Gems are what humans use to create Herrschers?"

Bronya felt a little scared. If it weren't for some reason that caused the X-10 experiment to be delayed again and again, she might have already...

The bold assumption has been completed, and the next step is to collect evidence.

"Kiana, tell Bronya the truth, Mei-sister..."

"At noon on the rooftop, Mei-sister asked me to kill her."

Kiana squatted down and held Mobius's cold arm. Her voice was a little low and hoarse, with a sense of forced relaxation:

"I don't know what happened to her, but I certainly can't let her die. However, if I use words directly, I know that I am not good at speaking, so I deliberately pulled the hammer and pretended not to notice that she took the gun away... I originally wanted her to experience the feeling of death. After all, most people who have experienced that feeling will eventually be afraid of death... As a result, she pointed the gun at me."

"It's really hard for you."

Bronya's eyes twitched slightly. She guessed the situation at that time. With Kiana's IQ, her "thoughts" in her words were probably added temporarily now. The real situation is probably that this idiot didn't control the gun himself and was taken away by Mei-sister, or he just put it on the ground and Mei-sister picked it up directly, which is consistent with her understanding of Kiana. I can only say that fortunately this guy, although stupid, has not forgotten the operating rules of the gun, otherwise...

"Wait a minute! You just said that Mei pointed a gun at you, and then what?"

Bronya bit her lips tightly. The real Mei would never point a gun at others, let alone Kiana. Isn't all this exactly the same as when she faced Mobius just now? It's just that when facing Kiana, perhaps because the hammer of the gun in her hand was pulled down and could not be fired, she failed.

"Then... Then Mei suddenly turned the gun around and pointed it at herself and pulled the trigger. I was shocked at the time, but fortunately I pulled the hammer down... Uh, no, I mean, fortunately I was prepared and pulled the hammer down in advance."

"Is that so..."

Now the last piece of the puzzle is complete. Mei may really have two consciousnesses in her body, one is her own consciousness, and the other is the consciousness of the Herrscher, or the consciousness of the Conqueror Gem?

This doesn't seem to be important. The important thing is that, at least now, Mei can still suppress the other consciousness. She can quickly regain control of her body when another consciousness points a gun at Kiana. But the situation is still not optimistic. Just now, if Bronya's observation was correct, even after completely killing Mobius, Mei's own consciousness still could not wake up, until Mobius used his ability to do something, and then awakened Mei's consciousness. In other words, Mei's control over her body is weakening, and if it continues like this. "Bronya, do you know something?" Bronya glanced at Kiana. Although this idiot is usually stupid, at the critical moment, her brain is not slow and her observation is not bad.

"Bronya probably knows what Sister Mei's situation is now. To put it simply, Sister Mei has two consciousnesses in her head now. When she points the gun at you, she has another consciousness, and when she points the gun at herself, she has another consciousness. Our own consciousness. As long as we help Sister Mei defeat the other consciousness, the problem will be solved, and maybe it will be a blessing in disguise."

"What if it fails?"

Bronya shrugged and looked down at Mebius.

"Then we have to go accompany Aunt Mebius...Listen Kiana, once Mei can't suppress that consciousness, it will not only affect Changkong City, but also the entire Jidong, and even...so..."

Kiana interrupted Bronya with a smile:

"In short, we just need to kill the consciousness of Tu Yayi's body, right?"

Bronya looked at Kiana's smile, and in the end she didn't say anything to refute, but just clenched her pistol.

She looked at Xi'er again. She had been busy thinking just now and forgot to take care of Xi'er's emotions. With Xi'er's kindness, it must be difficult to accept the sudden death of Mebius, who had been with him day and night for more than a month...

But unexpectedly, Seele just leaned against the wall and looked at Mebius with an extremely complicated expression.

"Xie'er..."

Just as Bronya was about to say something, Kiana had already opened the door to the equipment room in a big way.

"Mei Mei! I want to tell you something... Huh? Where is Mei?"

"What!!!"

Bronya felt a tingling sensation all over her scalp. She pushed Kiana aside and rushed into the equipment room, but there was no sign of Mei in the room at all.

The equipment room is not a place where people can hide, and there is no possibility that Mei is hiding somewhere.

But there was a pistol missing from the table.
