The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"I don't understand it at all..."

Bronya stared at the palm of her hand and smiled sadly.

Looking up, the seat across the bed was empty. Mei finally left after saying those words, but Bronya did not feel any positive emotions such as "happy" or "glorified".

To put it bluntly, there is only a slight sense of relaxation.

Mei said, "You already know what the heart is," but Bronya really felt that she still didn't understand it at all. I don’t even understand why he can defeat Mikai with this nagging “heart”. That woman probably, like Mikael, lived too long and her brain was damaged.

Bronya decided not to think about this.

She originally planned to check on Xi'er before the next battle started, that's all.

If Mei's sudden appearance hadn't disrupted her rhythm, she would have returned to her dormitory to pick up the game console and relax before the war...

Fighting requires a high degree of concentration. Although a battle that lasts for several hours may only last a few minutes, and it only takes a split second to decide the winner, but for this brief moment of effort, the nervous tension must run through the entire battle. time, the outcome is often based on the negligence of one party.

In order to ensure that the spirit can be concentrated for a long time in the long time to come, each warrior has his own solution. Some people need to get into the state before the battle to avoid starting the battle in a hazy state. Most of these people are not good at concentrating. For Bronya, who easily enters the state, she is more accustomed to doing some relaxing activities before the war, such as playing games, which helps delay the time she enters the state of tension and allows her to retain more energy until After the battle begins.

But it was in chaos, everything was in chaos.

Not only was my spirit not relaxed, but I was confused and overwhelmed, and my whole body felt unusually weak and powerless.

but……

"There's really nothing we can do, Xi'er. No matter how bad her condition is, Bronya still has to fight. Because this is..."

Bronya stood up and gently stroked Xi'er's cheek with her right hand. The moment her fingertips touched the skin of her cheek, she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, as if something melted in the middle of her chest to the right of her heart, and then a warm current gradually entered her limbs, and even her consciousness became clear. Quite a few.

"Wait, this..."

Pursing her lips, she slowly retracted her right hand, clenched her fist hard, and pressed it against her heart. Her flesh and blood transmitted the vibration caused by the strong heartbeat to her fist, so the fist became stronger.

"So that's it... Mei, is this the so-called 'heart'?"

Do not fight because of orders from superiors.

Not fighting for pay.

It's not about fighting for one's own survival.

It’s about fighting for something that is not “me.”

But……

I do feel a little more motivated than before, but that's all.

If this is an idealistic world, then Bronya admits that this change is indeed enough to bring more powerful power.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

"call……"

No matter what, it feels good to have a clear mind.

Bronya just looked at the time and saw that four hours had passed since the Hyperion dived. Although it is estimated that it will take about twelve hours to reach the depths of Haiyuan City, the rest of the time cannot be used to play games, but to return to the fighting position - the time to relax is only these four hours, and then After that, whether it was to defend against Cocolia who might attack from the bottom of the sea, or to fight against the destiny pursuers chasing after them from behind, it would be extremely troublesome.

But as Bronya said before, these things have to be done...

After all, this is the only way to save you, Xier.

Bronya herself didn't notice that the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

Taking one last look at the sleeping Xier, and taking a final deep breath of air in the ward, Bronya turned around and left the ward without hesitation.

The ward door closed behind her, and the tunnel was still empty. Bronya turned her head to look, but saw no one.

However, the chaotic footsteps became louder and louder. It was obvious that those who had received the same shift rest as her were also walking out of their respective rest cabins, preparing to return to their combat positions and face the fierce wind and storm that they might face next. rain.

"Uh... uh... it's really troublesome."

Bronya complained in a low voice, raised her hands and stretched herself, then turned right and walked back quickly along the way she came.

She quickly turned the corner, but almost collided with someone who suddenly walked out from behind the door.

"Excuse me."

She apologized casually, although she felt that she was not at fault, but she remembered that Natasha and Xier had said this to her before - it was right to apologize more when getting along with others.

"Huh? Yes, yes...I'm sorry!"

Bronya's brows raised slightly, and what she saw out of the corner of her eye was a girl wearing the uniform of an ordinary member of Anti-Entropy, but she didn't pay much attention. Although the other party apologized extremely politely, even to the point of exaggeration, Bronya did not feel that it had anything to do with her.

Therefore, she did not stop for this, but casually spit out the word "um" from her mouth.

The girl's expression was a little embarrassed. She scratched her messy black hair and adjusted her thick glasses. By the time she finished this whole set of actions, Bronya had even walked three meters behind her.

"Uh...that..."

"Um?"

Bronya tilted her head back, but only half of her ears were exposed.

"Um, are you the Valkyrie Bronya?"

The girl's voice was low, with a hint of trembling.

Bronya didn't want to talk to her, and her cold temper could not be reversed in a few words or a few hours. Besides, forget about Xi'er, forget about Sister Mei, stupid Kiana, monitor, principal, Himeko and other people she has known for a long time. She also doesn't know much about a member of Anti-Entropy who she has never met before. interest.

Say so, think so.

The girl's trembling voice reminded her of someone after all.

Sighing silently, she raised her wrist and glanced at the time on the watch. There were still about ten minutes before the deadline for the assembly. This time was enough to wander from here to the bridge and then back again. Even if It’s okay to waste some.

"Well, Bronya is Bronya. Do you have anything to do with Bronya?"

Bronya turned around slowly, looked at the fat girl in front of her who was uncomfortably adjusting her tie with drooping eyes, and assumed a business-like attitude.

"Uh...ahem! What about that...what about that..."

It was probably Bronya's tongue-twisting self-profession that completely wiped out the girl's IQ to zero. She nervously repeated her tongue-twisting habit, causing Bronya to take a deep breath in annoyance, and then repeated the question angrily:

"Excuse me, what do you want from me?"

"Ah...ah...no...ah, no, no!"

As soon as the word "no" came out, Bronya immediately turned around and left. The frightened girl waved her hands excitedly and shouted "no".

When Bronya once again looked at her with dead fish eyes, the girl's overly excited mood was finally relieved, and she could finally piece together a sentence intermittently:

"I heard...I heard that Miss Bronya was the legendary mercenary Siberian Silver Wolf before she became the Valkyrie, so...so..."

"So what?"

Bronya urged impatiently, or maybe she felt that her attitude was a bit bad or too sharp. She lowered her head slightly and took two steps forward. The girl almost fell off the bridge of her nose because of the constant shaking. His glasses were pushed back.

The girl's muscles all over her body suddenly became stiff, but she still tried her best to finish what she said next:

"My name is Guinevere Alighieri Fernand Caballero Serre. Can Coco take a photo with the famous Siberian Silver Wolf!!!"

The girl, who was not a few years older than Bronya, clenched her fists, tightly clamped her torso with her arms, bent her knees and leaned forward, almost yelling in the end before finishing this long series of words. He shouted after a pause.

"Can."

The corners of Bronya's mouth twitched - what is this? Do you still have fans among the Anti-Entropy people? Do you want to smile when taking a photo? Forget it, there will be wrinkles on your face.

Realizing the strange thoughts that came to her mind, she quickly shook her head, which was too big for her body.

Strange, would she also be thinking about these strange things in her mind? There may or may not be, but it doesn't matter, it's all the woman's fault for confusing her mind with her words. Well, that must be the case!

"Miss Silver Wolf, could you please smile? Just smile."

"oh."

Bronya's dead fish eyes became a little lively, and the corners of her mouth grinned to both sides. Maybe this could be regarded as a smile.

"Click——"

…………

The group photo was nothing more than an ordinary episode. Speaking of which, Bronya herself is not unaware of how resounding her name as the "Silver Wolf" was in the mercenary community in Siberia and the entire world. In his memory, Natasha showed off to him more than once. She was older, and the two of them had worked together to complete tasks for a long time. With almost the same resume, "Raven" ranked in the mercenary rankings. One place higher than "Silver Wolf", and it is precisely because the two always cooperate with each other to complete tasks that the results are diluted, so the first position in the rankings is occupied by the still unknown "Dark Rose".

It's just that no one in St. Freya has ever mentioned this "stage name" before, so the person who called her Guinevere... what did she mean? In short, when the girl called out the name "Silver Wolf", she still felt a little strange.

Maybe it’s because St. Freya is a beautiful but childish Fantasyland. The teachers who know her identity will not take the initiative to reveal this secret. The students are also teenagers and are not familiar with another dark and cruel world. Don't know anything. As for Anti-Entropy...after all, she was once a member of Anti-Entropy. Although she had no interaction with the headquarters, it was not surprising that the other party had some information about her.

Counter-entropy, think about it... I haven't seen Nata in almost three years. Is she still with Cocolia? If so, then I'm afraid I'll have to fight her next. But……

"..."

Bronya's lowered palms silently clenched into fists.

But soon, his fists loosened. If he had to say why, he probably thought of something funny - 90% of their mission commissions were saved by Nata. Although the two of them made a lot of money, Life was very tight, and Nata always asked her to borrow money to buy wine. She didn't take the initiative to return these small sums of money and commissions from previous missions after the two separated.

So, even if we do encounter it, there is still a reason to take action, right?

Bronya smiled with satisfaction, and her smile was much brighter than the previous photo.

She took another step forward, her steps triggered the sensor system, and the door to the bridge slid open to both sides. After all, this is the front of the Hyperion. It would be a bit pricey if it were not made automatic, but there is also a manual mode to ensure safety.

Taking another step forward, Bronya tilted her head, and the girl she just met followed her step by step with her shoulders shrugged and a camera in her arms.

Seeing Bronya suddenly stop and turn her head, Guinevere was caught off guard. In order to prevent herself from hitting the "Siberian Silver Wolf" directly, she quickly twisted her body and took two steps back. She bowed her head deeply, even her toes disappeared from her sight. Before Bronya could speak, she apologized first:

"sorry!"

Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, she just apologized and that was all. Although the girl didn't say it explicitly, Bronya keenly read her subtext.

Of course it might be wishful thinking.

So she simply ignored Guinevere's apology and asked her own question.

"Huh? Were you originally responsible for the work on the bridge?"

"Yes...right."

The person scratching her head in embarrassment became Bronya. Her mind was full of other things and she really didn't notice such a person before.

Also, Guinevere is quite unrecognizable in every aspect. With her short black curly hair, black-rimmed glasses, and average height and figure, she is absolutely unrecognizable in a crowd. Only the name is more recognizable, but recognition is recognizability, and it is impossible for people to remember such a long name.

Bronya turned around again and stepped into the familiar bridge.

She suddenly felt that Mei was lying. Her so-called "heart" really made her understand that if she wanted to save Xi'er, she must break all obstacles in the next action.

But according to her own thinking, that was something she could do by "obeying orders".

On the contrary, it is because thinking of Nata will have an impact on the determination of the next battle...

…………

"Ah sneeze!"

"Raven," Natasha Siola sneezed, almost shaking the liquid out of the wine glass with trembling. If this happened, the mental impact on Miss Natasha would be no less than Run your fingernail across the chalkboard.

"Those two people seemed to be fighting at the train station. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Standing on the roof of the Divine City Medical Building, the eastern sky has been dyed the same color as the gray wall. Mikael closed his eyes and muttered something, but in fact he was just calculating the time.

"Mebius, you should be there too. I feel a little uneasy."
