The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Uh... uh..."

"Hey...are you okay...can you hear me..."

"Well……"

"My eyes are open and I seem to be awake, so I won't waste time anymore. Say to me, three two one, one two three, ah ah."

"Why do you read this?"

Bronya covered her head and pushed herself up from the cold metal ground. She looked at the pink-haired fox-eared woman in front of her with some confusion and some vigilance.

"It seems that you are more awake than I expected. So [please] cooperate and answer my questions."

"Uh, no, who are you..."

"Do you know this girl?"

"ah?"

The fox-eared woman took off the pendant from her neck, held it in both hands and brought it to Bronya. Pressing the button on the pendant, a photo appeared in front of Bronya's eyes in the form of a three-dimensional projection.

The background of the photo is a spacious and plain courtyard. Two girls with pink hair are standing in the middle of the courtyard. Next to them are several pieces of grass broken into two pieces. There is also a watermelon on the ground. The younger-looking girl with a bunch of blood-red highlights on her forehead bangs smiled and hugged the other figure tightly.

Bronya's eyes stopped on the face of another pink-haired girl, then slowly moved up and stopped on the face of the woman in front of her.

There is no doubt that the other girl in the photo is the woman in front of her. Compared with the shy and radiant face in the photo, the woman in front of her looks haggard, with black and swollen eye bags, and two bloodshot eyes in her deep-set eye sockets. His purple eyes are like red and purple thunder and lightning intertwined together. The line from cheekbone to chin is straightened into a straight line, and even feels sunken inward. On the dirty white shirt and blue jacket It's also full of holes, so it's not an exaggeration to say it's a quail's clothes and a swan's face.

Of course, the biggest difference is the pair of slender pink ears on the top of the head.

I don’t know what she went through to become what she is now from the photos...

Bronya couldn't help but feel an emotion called sympathy.

She is not slow. Just take a look at the age, facial features and hair color of the two girls in the photo, and it is difficult not to guess the relationship between them. so……

"Tell me! Where did the girl in the photo go?"

Probably because she didn't get a response for a long time, the woman suddenly grabbed Bronya's shoulders hard, her forehead was almost touching hers, and she shouted loudly.

"Well……"

Bronya wanted to say something, but the woman's strength was so amazing that when she opened her mouth, she made a muffled sound of pain.

For the Valkyrie, this kind of pain was worth a groan, but the sound frightened the other person.

Sakura's pupils shrank, and then she quickly retreated until her back hit the cold armor wall, and she could no longer retreat.

She covered her face with force and let out a dull choked sound:

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't mean it... Please tell me, where did the child in the photo go? She was supposed to be locked up here. Alicia told me she was locked up here, but …But when I came here, I only saw you.”

"You invaded this place?"

Bronya stood up, covering her shoulders, and looked around - the narrow bed and small table made of steel pipes. At a glance, you can feel the thick armored walls and doors, and the space so small that it can be measured in five or six steps. , there is no doubt that this is a room designed for "imprisonment". Considering the damp and moldy mattresses and bedding, this place should be built underground.

Didn't I already fall into the quantum sea? Why do I appear here? And the woman in front of me... No, the other person has those strange organs. Whether she can be called a human needs to be verified, but it is conceivable that since she is here to save people, she must be an "intruder".

What happens next? Bronya's brain was running at high speed. Although she didn't understand why she appeared here, considering the purpose of this room, she was probably among the "imprisoned" party.

In this case, the woman who came to save the person would not hurt her, at least there was no need to hurt her if she was in a normal mental state. Maybe he would take this opportunity to take her away with him.

But the problem is that once she does this, it means that she will stand beside this woman and fight with her against the organization that can establish such a level of prison cells underground.

There seems to be no other way. She can also deny that she is imprisoned and switch to the identity of "the manager of this prison room", but in that case... she may be killed by the woman in front of her at the first moment. Bar.

Bronya didn't dare to take any chances that "maybe the other party can't beat her". This woman's ability to easily break into this well-guarded base proved her strength. Moreover, when the woman rushed in front of her and pinched her shoulders, she was so fast that she couldn't even dodge. It's impossible to do it.

There is another reason. During the brief gaze, Bronya saw something consistent with her own in the eyes of the woman in front of her.

One is the same indifference that he once had as a killer and couldn't let go of.

The second is...

"It can also be understood as an invasion."

The woman seemed to have recovered her emotions and stood up straight again. The tears in the corners of her eyes were quickly wiped away inadvertently.

"I was originally a member of this place, but the people here said that my sister was a Herrscher and detained her. I must rescue her... Were you also imprisoned here by them? Damn it! What the hell are they doing? How many innocent children have been imprisoned, what do they want to do!”

The woman was very angry, not only angry that her sister was arrested, but also disappointed that her familiar comrades behaved like this. Bronya could relate to this, because she also experienced it not long ago. experienced similar things.

Having said this, there was no extra choice. Bronya nodded, but quickly shook her head.

"Bronya was captured by them, but Bronya came in on her own initiative. Bronya's purpose is the same as yours. Bronya also came to look for Bronya's sister."

"Bronya, are you? Did they also take your sister? Damn it, how could this happen?"

Bronya watched the woman in front of her lower her head, and her clenched fists kept making "crackling" sounds. She swallowed and apologized with a bit of regret:

"I'm sorry, Bronya was here when she woke up and didn't see the girl... uh..."

Bronya covered her forehead and groaned in pain again:

"They...those people seemed to have said something to Bronya. She can't remember many things clearly. Bronya now only remembers that Bronya is here to find her sister..."

As a top killer, you not only need to have extremely strong military qualities, but also need other skills to assist in completing tasks, such as acting talent.

After all, most missions cannot be completed by setting up a sniper rifle and waiting patiently. If you want to get a chance to get close to the target, you need these special skills to work.

As for whether it would be useful to the woman in front of her, Bronya was a little unsure. Although her words are half true and half false, at least the core part is that she wants to find the Xier who calls her "Sister Bronya". It is a very real emotion, but the fiction may also be seen through, which will affect the future. When it comes to the real part, she can feel the temperament of the person standing in front of her. Can a woman who is also a killer be deceived by herself?

"sorry."

The woman still lowered her head, but Bronya was stunned by the first words she spoke.

"It seems that they used the ability of a fusion warrior with mental perception on you... Is it Aponia? I apologize to you on behalf of my former comrades, whether they were suspected of being Herrschers or used for human experiments, They are not qualified to take action against innocent children. My name is Sakura. If you want to find your sister, I hope our two sisters can act together. Please believe me. Although I am not the strongest warrior, I am just the best. Just to protect you and take you out, it should still be possible. "

Bronya believed that no matter how bad her condition was, even if her mind was completely filled with anxiety about her sister's safety, the woman would still be able to detect the problem in her words. This is not an inference with evidence, it is just an affirmation of the same kind. She believes that she can maintain a certain degree of rationality even in this situation and then do this, so she believes that this woman can also do it.

but……

Looking at the hand stretched out to her without reservation, Bronya hesitated for a moment, and then held it tightly.

She still didn't know why she appeared here, and she didn't know whether Xi'er was being held here. She didn't even know whether this was the Quantum Sea.

But following the woman in front of him who calls himself "Sakura" is the only feasible way at the moment.

The same is true for Sakura. She knows that the girl in front of her has lied to her, but how many people in this world can open their hearts to strangers they have just met?

Although the most important thing now was to find Ling's location and rescue her, she really couldn't leave a girl who looked younger than Ling here to die.

Moreover, she could see that... the moment she talked about "sister", the light that flashed in the girl's eyes was the same as her own.

"Follow me, we can't wait too long!"

Strong force came from her hand, Bronya did not resist, but obeyed and allowed Sakura to pull her away.

The two men ran wildly through the passages of the base that smelled of iron. The metal floor and hard heels under their feet made a clanging sound. However, even though they made such a loud noise, they did not attract any guards.

"Don't worry, I'm not arrogant enough to dare to fight the entire Fire Chaser alone. Dr. Mei will help us within his ability."

"Dr. May?"

Bronya was shocked, but then she realized something.

"Yes, are you originally a warrior of the Fire Chasing Moth? Or are you a family member of a warrior? Or someone from outside? But no matter what, you have heard of Dr. Mei's name."

Sakura glanced back at Bronya, who was following her closely, and surprise flashed through her eyes.

Bronya looked down at the toes that were constantly crossing each other. She knew that Sakura was using this method to soothe the highly tense nerves. It was a very wise decision. For a veteran who could quickly concentrate before the battle, it was necessary to prevent it before the battle started. Being overly nervous and saving more energy for the battle is a basic skill.

This is not a bad thing for her. She can use Sakura's mouth to confirm her conjectures about the world, but the risk also exists. If Bronya makes common sense that people in this world should know, she should not If I react, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

At this time, Bronya had to thank Dr. Mei for harassing her before. Although she could not confirm whether the two Dr. Mei were the same person, she could only take another gamble at this time.

"Uh... I feel like what she said is a bit difficult to understand."

"Puch - that means you met the real Dr. Mei. I don't really understand a genius like her, but maybe it's because geniuses have ideas that ordinary people can't understand, so geniuses are geniuses."

Talking didn't seem to affect Sakura's breath as she ran wildly. The base is deep underground. Even if there is a constant temperature system inside, the body temperature is close to the level of a cold late autumn night. Every time Bronya breathes, she will leave a large amount of white vapor in the air in front of her. This kind of thing ... Sakura ran all the way here without leaving any such traces.

"Bronya, have you already..."

Sakura's pace slowed down for a moment, as if she had just remembered to take care of Bronya's body, but she soon discovered that although she was panting a little fast, Bronya had no intention of being unable to keep up.

This is a good thing. She can keep up with the fusion warrior's maneuvering speed, and she almost ran at her fastest normal speed when she was worried about Ling. This girl named Bronya can keep up with such a strong physique. As a child, even if his fighting skills are lacking, he will not be useless if he really fights.

What's more, she felt the calluses on Bronya's hands.

Calluses are not a rare thing, especially for humans who are still alive today, but there are calluses in some places that a person can’t wear off after a lifetime of hard work: this girl named Bronya is a good hand with a gun. ——This is what Sakura understood the moment she held her hand.

That's why she asked Bronya if she was a warrior of the Fire Chasing Moth.

But wouldn't it be worse this way? Has the Fire Chaser Moth reached out to his comrades? Could it be Dr. Mebius...

There is also this child's physical fitness. It is impossible for humans who have not undergone super-transformation surgery to keep up with her speed. However, after the tragedy of restraint, there should be only thirteen of them left... Could it be that in order to cope with the situation? In the final crisis, has the Fire Moth gone completely crazy?

"Bronya, have they done any experiments on you?"

It was clear that the fusion warrior was a creature that could escape breathing, but Sakura still felt a tightness in her chest, almost suffocating her to death.

If Ling's matter touched her bottom line as a "sister", then the problem between Bronya and her sister touched her bottom line as a "fire-chasing moth".

It is not that the organization has never recruited minors into the army and performed super-transformation surgeries in the past, but there were more or less special reasons, and the participants were all voluntary. For example, Sakura herself was arrested as a well-known killer very early and was arrested and sentenced to death by the coalition government. In the end, she exchanged her life for entering the poison chrysalis. Hua was taken in by Himihu because she had nowhere to go. Kevin joined because he was too physically strong as a human and wanted to follow Mei. Kosma has been involved in the battle against Honkai. Pado was simply an accident. After that, everyone from the reviewers to the doctors who performed the surgery were punished...

The former Poison Chrysalis used various methods to cultivate many underage warriors, including brainwashing, mind control, and forcing them to be obedient... so such scum were eliminated.

Gratius is a very bad example, so those adults who took advantage of Hen and Blanca's sacrifice to hurt her finally got the end they deserved.

But what now?

Is the fire-chasing moth about to transform into a large poisonous pupa?

She could understand that after the tragedy of restraint, humans had reached the point where they had to fight to the death, but it was never the right thing to involve involuntary children anyway. In that case, even if Honkai was defeated, humans would eventually lose themselves. s future.

ha? If it is really voluntary, then why does this girl named Bronya need to take risks to find her sister?

hateful! If only May could ditch Parliament...

"Um?"

The archives were close at hand, only a T-intersection was left, but Sakura gradually slowed down and finally stopped in place.

She first subconsciously hid Bronya behind her, but the next moment, she squeezed Bronya's palm hard, then pushed her out, holding her shoulders and walking step by step towards the mecha at the intersection ahead. .

"Didn't Mei say that all the soldiers and mechas on this floor have been transferred? Why are there still..."

Sakura knew something was wrong, but she couldn't think about it at this time.

"Bronya, cooperate with me in a play."

She explained in an extremely slight breath, and Bronya had understood what she meant since she was pushed out. She lowered her head, took reluctant and dishonest steps, and looked timid. appearance.

"stop!"

The mecha saw the two of them from a distance, but it wasn't until they were ten meters away that they stretched out their hands and shouted to stop.

This type of mecha... is a long-range command mecha, and with the twelve heavy drone armors behind it, for Sakura, it can be destroyed in an instant.

It's just that you can't disguise it anymore.

"Access is prohibited here, please show your identity."

As one of the only thirteen fusion warriors left, coupled with Erwin's big-mouthed propaganda, Sakura didn't believe that the person who remotely controlled this mecha didn't know her, but she still took out this business-like The tone...have you really noticed it?

With the last glimmer of hope, Sakura took out Mei's name:

"Sakura, number CM-004, I captured a fugitive, and on Dr. Mei's order, I took her back to the prison cell."

"The files show that Dr. Mei did have a record of projection communication with CM-004 Sakura thirteen hours ago, but... the file records also show that CM-004 Sakura should be performing a special mission outside the base at this moment. Sakura. , what else do you have to say.”

"call……"

Sakura let out a long breath and took another step forward to the right, blocking Bronya's body. She already understood the problem.

She was the one who allowed Alicia to tell her the problem with the bell through the projection call, and she was the one who promised to help her transfer all the soldiers on this floor, but the same person is blocking her here now...

"I want to talk to Dr. Mei." (End of chapter)
