The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Oh? I really didn't expect that the people sent to kill me this time were actually two little girls who were not yet adults. Haha... wait, are you... Raven and Silver Wolf? Are you still two minors? Humph, it’s really perverted to train children to be tools for killing people!”

"Oh, then you are wrong. No one has trained us. The reason why we do this is just a necessary means to survive."

"I see, is it just to survive?"

"Otherwise? Girls like us, if we want to survive in Siberia, there are only two ways. We just chose the more dangerous but more dignified one. In short, since we are now your prisoners of war, we must Feel free to kill or chop him into pieces, as long as you don't let the two of us do such disgusting things."

"Tsk, then don't you want to live?"

"What do you mean? You want to recruit us?"

"Recruitment? You can understand it that way, but according to the standards of mercenaries, the word "employment" is more common. What do you think?"

"Oh that's fine."

"If you don't accept it, I... hmm? You just accept it like this? Don't you ask any conditions?"

"If you don't accept it, you will die."

"Well, yes."

"That's great. Why, do you think we agreed too readily and doubted our professional ethics?"

"That's not the case. You haven't told me who the person who posted the bounty on me is, right? Besides, talking about professional ethics with mercenaries is a ridiculous thing."

"Hey! I guess you know your stuff. But we are different from those coquettish bitches out there. Unless we fail and endanger our lives, we are absolutely guaranteed to complete the mission we take on."

"Oh, Raven, are you trying to clean up your case by accepting my employment after you failed the mission?"

"No, no, no, who said that? The two of us have always been very professional, right, Bronya?"

"..."

Although that was nearly five years ago, every word between Raven and Cocolia was so clear in her memory, as if that conversation only happened yesterday.

But when the memories are interrupted and a person walks alone in the dark and narrow tunnel inside the Haiyuan City base, a trace of...

How to describe it?

Pity? dissatisfied?

Bronya searched in her mind for a long time. It was hard to say whether it was because she lacked vocabulary or because the emotion was too difficult to describe. In short, she couldn't find a suitable word to describe her mood. She insisted on saying I just feel a little difficult to breathe. I have tried my best to steal every ounce of oxygen in the air, but I still feel stuffy from my chest to my head.

"The control room is right here."

Bronya forced herself to focus on what she wanted to do, turned around and walked into the room with the word "monitoring room" hanging on the door. There are many people wearing Anti-Entropy uniforms in the room, but if you look closely, you can find the two small letters "NH" under the Anti-Entropy logo. This is the logo of the Extreme East Branch of Anti-Entropy.

Seeing Bronya suddenly walking in, these people still sat back to back in the center of the room without making any unnecessary movements. Bronya glanced over and saw two familiar faces. When the two people saw that it was her, they seemed to want to say something else, or simply wanted to say hello, but when they thought of "all the people Waiting for the Hyperion to accept the surrender, any unnecessary action will be deemed as a refusal to surrender." However, he wisely chose to remain silent.

"I am the Valkyrie Bronya. My mission is to retrieve a piece of surveillance. The troops to receive your surrender will arrive soon, but before that, you only need to tell me which terminal can be retrieved into the base. All monitoring is fine.”

"It's... right in front of you... go forward to the end."

The guy who looked familiar to Bronya instinctively wanted to raise his finger to show Bronya, but he resisted and only kept verbal reminders.

But……

Bronya looked at the several devices lined up in front of her and felt a little irritated.

"Uh...that one, the third one from left to right, the one with a red button on the table."

Now it finally became clear, and Bronya ignored the group of people in the room and rushed directly to the terminal. Cocolia gave her a rough time period, so she called up at least one camera lens from each area and rewinded it.

It is undoubtedly an incredible thing for ordinary people to keep an eye on the movements on more than 20 small screens at the same time, but there is no way, Bronya is in a hurry, and it is not impossible for her to do it.

What can be said?

Back then, she and Raven were equally good snipers. Because of this, for a long time, no one was willing to condescend to be another person's observer, so she instead developed extraordinary skills. Observation ability...at least she has developed it herself. She doesn't know if Natasha can do it.

I just didn't expect that this ability would be used to find those two fools...

Um?

Two colors, one pink and one blue, flashed in the upper left corner of the field of vision. Bronya dragged the timeline back to restart the previous scene, and then easily found the corresponding camera scene based on the impression just now.

The next step is too simple. From the chart on the table, you can find the camera position corresponding to the camera image, and then retrieve the images from the cameras along the road based on the direction in which the two idiots left, and you can easily find the place where they last appeared.

"Ah? Kitchen No. P1? What are the two of you doing there? Forget it..."

If a person tries to use normal people's thinking to understand the thoughts of an idiot, then this person is worse than an idiot - this is what Bronya has learned over the years, first with Rosalia and then with Kiana. valuable experience.

After all, when you try to understand a fool, your IQ has been lowered to the level of the fool.

Looking back at the two familiar members of the Anti-Entropy Far East Branch, Bronya only said businesslikely until the end:

"The data retrieval is over, thank you for your cooperation."

Then he quickly rushed out of the monitoring room.

If you don't speed up a bit, a fool like Rosalía, who always thinks one thing at a time, may not be able to leave her current position in the next second.

But... after only two steps of running in the tunnel, a mess of emotions and memories hit her heart, making her stop.

After holding on to the wall beside her and covering her head to slow down, she took up slow steps again, stepped on the stairs, and headed deeper into the base and the sea.

Yes, although I am really worried about those two guys, I should at least take a look at where this place is first, right?

This is Cocolia's territory. The previous battles also took place outside the base. Regardless of what the two guys were doing hiding in the kitchen, at least their lives were not in danger.

From the beginning, her purpose was not to find Rosalia and Lilia, but just...not to face Cocolia.

In a daze, she seemed to hear the sound of running water, and vaguely remembered the map given by the two anti-entropy doctors before the war. It seemed that in Haiyuan City, the place called "Eye of Haiyuan" still stored this water that could not be discharged. of sea water. In any case, the sound of gurgling water reminded her of the sound of rain one night a few years ago.

"Natasha! Where is Bronya...ah! What happened to her?"

"Be gentle and carry her carefully to the bed."

"Are you injured?"

"No, don't worry. With the strength of both of us, if we both lose money when dealing with that kind of character, then we won't be worthy of the names of Raven and Silver Wolf, nor will we be worthy of the reward you offered."

"Then Bronya, she is..."

"Ah, a small problem. Although the target is not a difficult person, he is relatively alert. In order to get the most suitable killing opportunity, the two of us stayed up for more than 70 hours without sleeping. We were even caught in the rain just now. Bronya, she seems to have a fever."

"It sounds like you have a fever? Your forehead is so hot that you can fry an egg! Bronya? Bronya? Can you hear my voice... This child is so dizzy that she can't hear clearly. How did you take her there? of?"

"Hey, hey, hey! You're going too far. I was also caught in the rain all day, and I carried her back..."

"...Your raven has a stigmata, and Bronya is just an ordinary person. How can this be the same?"

"Then I can't call you and tell you that she is sick and request to cancel the mission before the mission is completed, right?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, don't be so anxious. This child is very tough... don't... don't look at me like that. I'm going to mix alcohol and ice cubes. You can help her change into dry clothes first and blow on her. Let’s blow dry our hair.”

"You don't need to teach me this."

"I guess you don't have much experience raising children... ok, ok, I won't talk nonsense."

"By the way, tell Rosalia upstairs to stop making noise. She's still up so late! If she keeps making noise, I won't give her lunch tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay."

"Wait, where's the medicine?"

"Ah? I don't know? I haven't had a cold for a long time. I only have medical kits and other things to treat trauma..."

"Hurry up and call Xi'er and Xing!"

…………

The words I once heard in a daze now echoed clearly in my mind. If someone puts it in the way that someone talks about it, it is - everything that has happened in this world will eventually leave traces. Those memories that are thought to have disappeared are actually just hiding in the mind waiting to be awakened.

Bronya's memory flowed gently like water, so smoothly that it was almost incredible.

The experience that night was simply a disaster. She had a severe fever and her limbs were so sore that she couldn't move. When she opened her eyes, everything she saw was twisting and turning.

And even though he had a fever, his body felt extremely cold, and his teeth were chattering even though he was wrapped in a quilt. The two women, who had very little experience in raising children by themselves, were still arguing about whether to physically cool down when you have a fever and feel cold. She still remembers the kind of noise that almost filled her head. The feeling of explosion...

Later, Xi'er probably said something. Ice was finally applied to her head, and her body was still wrapped in a thick quilt. The image was as funny as you can imagine, but it was a pity that no one was in the mood to take pictures at that time. That scene.

I don’t know how long that chaotic time lasted, but for Bronya, what impressed her more deeply was the extremely solid and peaceful dream that came after the pain gradually faded away that night.

When she woke up the next morning, she was hugged tightly by Cocolia.

That was three years ago. Less than a month after that, Cocolia took Raven to the far east. It wasn't until two or three months later that she took Xi'er and Rosalia with her. , Lilia and Xing went to the far east.

In fact, her health was almost healed when we left. Things like fever always come and go quickly, but the reason why Cocolia didn't take her with her... What's there to say about this kind of motive buried deep in her heart? Well, maybe I was just being sentimental if I felt a little moved.

It’s just that since then, Cocolia has needed her to perform fewer and fewer tasks. Many of the tasks are done by Raven, and some of the less important tasks would even be found by mercenaries outside rather than handed over to her. Come and do it.

In any case, in Bronya's heart, one thing about Cocolia is undeniable - family, friends, love...these things that were once lost in the white snow of Siberia were found by Cocolia. And gave it to her again.

The orphanage will be her forever home - thirteen-year-old Bronya once imagined this.

And in order for everyone in the orphanage to live happily forever, she is willing to let her hands be stained with the smell of rust and blood again.

It's just that she didn't expect that this "willingness" would carry such a heavy thing.

Looking back now, what are Cocolia's feelings for herself, Xi'er and the others? Do they really regard them as their own children, or are they just high-quality experimental samples needed for the X-10 experiment that was not ultimately implemented?

Sometimes, Bronya would rather have a cruel reality than have an ambiguous ending. But most things in this world are not what people want.

Moreover, as an ordinary person who is not "omniscient and omnipotent", most of the auras obtained from this world are ambiguous, and some things do not necessarily require clear results to get answers.

A person will always encounter something in his life. No matter what the cause and consequences are, he must do it. However, when there is a clear answer to something, a lot of unnecessary pain may be saved.

After taking two more steps forward while holding on to the wall, Bronya stopped and then slowly stepped back.

After confirming that the room in front of her was the kitchen of P1, Bronya put her hand on the cold door handle, carefully discerned the smell behind the door, and then pushed it open——

"Ah ah ah! Monsters and monsters, leave quickly!"

"Snapped!"

Bronya accurately grasped the drawn pink tail.

"Calm down Rosalía, it's someone here...wait, you are..."

"Eh? Eh?? These two iconic silver drill bits...Lilia, am I right?"
