The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Wake up! Bronya? Wake up! We'll reach our destination soon!"

The sound was distorted before reaching her ears, as if someone was calling her softly across the water. A glimmer of light leaked into the darkness, and Bronya quickly realized that she had entered another world bubble.

There was a faint noise of the air being cut open in his ears, and his eyes opened a little wider, taking in his sight the small high-top military boots, the blue-black uniform, and the gray braided seat belt around his waist.

Before he could react, his head was tapped again.

"Hey! Bronya! Cheer up, it's not good to fall asleep on your first mission!"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded in my ears, but it was a little different from the one I heard not long ago. It was very different... What exactly was the difference... Probably a lot less steady and deep, and a little more Be enthusiastic and childish.

Turning her head, Bronya tried her best to control her expression, making her dead fish eyes become slightly softer:

"Kevin?"

"Ah? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I right? When I went on a mission for the first time, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep the night before... Well, although the flight time is indeed You don’t have to be so passionless when you’re older, right? What do you think, Mikael?”

"!"

Bronya didn't want to say anything. She hadn't figured out the situation here yet and was afraid that she would say something wrong and cause doubts. But the moment Kevin called out the name, she followed Kevin's gaze and turned her head. When he saw the only third person in the cabin besides them, he almost screamed at the top of his lungs.

The man was leaning against the porthole, supporting his head with his hands, looking at the clouds outside the window without saying a word. Even if Kevin called his name, he had no reaction.

"Hey! Mikael! Why don't you talk about your sister? How can you be such a brother?"

The corners of Bronya's mouth twitched twice.

what's the situation? In this world bubble, she became Mikael's sister? Isn't this ridiculous?

No...is he sick?

"Hey! Mikael!"

"Well?"

It wasn't until Kevin shouted for the third time that Mikael blinked and turned his head as if waking up from a dream.

"What's wrong?"

"Hey! You're not sleeping too, are you? Are you still thinking about something in a daze?"

The muscles on Mikael's cheekbones twitched, and he turned his head silently, continuing to stare at the sky outside the window in a daze.

"Hee hee hee……"

Bronya saw Kevin suddenly reveal a slightly lewd smile. He clasped her head with his fingers, leaned forward, and moved his face directly across the narrow cabin passage to Mikael's ear.

He pinched his throat but did not lower his voice and joked:

"Why are you thinking so seriously? Oh...you're not thinking about Alicia, are you?"

Mikael turned his head and glanced at him, nodded generously, then spread his hands and asked:

"It seems that you are very happy to leave Dr. Mei's jurisdiction. I will let Ellie tell her the truth."

"Hey, don't, don't, don't!"

Kevin waved his hands and sat up straight again.

Bronya originally squinted her eyes, looking at everything that was happening in front of her more or less as a joke, but unexpectedly, after Kevin stopped talking to Mikael, he slapped her on the shoulder again.

"I'm asking you to pay more attention to your sister! No matter how unhappy you are, she is already a soldier of Fire Chaser. The first mission of a recruit is very important. Learn from the mission The experience was also the most impressive. As a result, the person in charge was only focused on sleeping, and you acted indifferently, which is somewhat unjustifiable, right? Please! Didn’t Alicia ask you to pay more attention to Bronya before setting off? ”

Mikael's listless eyes swept across Bronya's face, then he closed his eyes and shook his head.

"If you insist on telling me, Bronya has done nothing wrong and is much better than you."

"ha?"

"Once the mission enters the official execution stage, who knows when they can rest? Some recruits know to recharge their batteries in advance. Some veterans who have carried out several missions cannot do this and will only squander their energy before the mission begins. Energy, when the mission starts, I have to sigh again, it’s really...sigh..."

"Damn it...were you scolding me just now?"

"Really? There are many veterans who have carried out several missions, and you are not the only one. What reason do you have to prove that I am talking about you? And I didn't say bad words."

"Huh? Really? No, no... no! You are obviously talking about me!"

If it weren't for the restraints of the seat belt, Kevin might have jumped on Mikael.

Bronya followed Mikael's example and held her head up, silently watching the two men bickering.

In fact, there was nothing funny about it, and of course, Bronya didn't laugh either.

From beginning to end, there was only one question that came to her mind and was considered worth thinking about:

"This world bubble should also be controlled by Mikael in this world bubble. Although I don't know how he did this... Regardless of this, what is the point of him showing this to Bronya? In addition, Is this Mikael...the Mikael in this world bubble? Or the Mikael who met outside before? The Mikael who claimed that he fell into the quantum sea with Xie'er, is it possible? One is a lie, what if he is the Mikael that Bronya is familiar with..."

After pondering for a while, Bronya decided to give Mikael a number. The one she was most familiar with was Mikael No. 1. The one she met during the fourth collapse was Mikael No. 2. She had previously claimed to give him a number. What I was testing was Mikael No. 3, and now I am facing Mikael No. 4...

Uh-huh, uh-huh, forget it, forget it, just thinking about it makes people feel dizzy, and they can't tell how many Michaels there are.

As for other questions, such as: Who is Alicia? Bronya didn't bother to ask even if she wanted to.

"Ahem!"

Mikael suddenly cleared his throat.

"The combat airship has begun to land. It is expected to hit the eastern suburbs branch of Burindi City in five minutes. The mission content will now be announced."

Kevin put away his unnecessary expression and sat upright with a serious face.

Bronya glanced at him with her peripheral vision, and in order to save some trouble, she did it reluctantly.

"I already told you when we set off that this is a C-level mission. Bronya has no experience yet, but Kevin, you should be able to guess what the mission is, right?"

"Ang! For C-level missions, there is usually a weak Honkai energy reaction somewhere, and you need to explore it. It is the kind of mission where you may encounter Honkai beasts, but you will basically not encounter too strong Honkai energy. Beast mission. Well! Don’t have too much expectations for this kind of mission grading. Every moment in the future is random. It’s not impossible for a C-level mission to become an A-level or S-level mission. But Broni Ya, don’t worry, with me and your brother here, there will be no problem. If you encounter this situation, you should carefully plan what to buy with the extra bonus after the mission is over! "

"Kevin!"

After giving a painless scolding, Mikael covered his forehead helplessly.

"Really, once you are out of Mei's sight, you are very unreliable. Even if you are acting, can you please show that calm look in front of Mei? And as far as I know, you are not the same in front of other recruits. So, the recruit from the first team named Kosmo was made to cry three times or four times a day? Don’t get too carried away just because Bronya is an acquaintance!”

"Okay, okay..."

Ignoring Kevin's somewhat perfunctory answer, Mikael turned his head and stared into Bronya's eyes seriously.

"Well……"

Before he spoke, Bronya suddenly felt a throbbing coming from deep within her body.

It was a mysterious and mysterious connection that made Bronya's heart beat loudly. It seemed that their hearts were tied at both ends by an invisible thread.

Bronya suddenly had the urge to ask directly. She wanted to ask directly, and she wanted to find out which Mikael was in front of her?

It's just... there is still Kevin here after all. Bronya didn't know much about the Quantum Sea and the World Bubble, and she didn't know whether this Kevin was a reskin of Mikael's will, or whether he truly had independent consciousness and personality. Out of caution, she still felt that she should wait until Mikael was free alone before confirming with him.

"Bronya!"

"Um?"

Mikael crossed the narrow aisle of the battle airship and patted Bronya lightly on the head.

The girl's cheeks bulged slightly to both sides, as if she was dissatisfied with the two men taking turns rubbing her head. If I have to say it, no matter what his true identity is, the Mikael in front of him is not someone particularly close to Bronya. Kevin is a familiar stranger, and his sudden behavior is really confusing. Very uncomfortable.

But it was useless for Bronya to mind. Since she was not strong enough to resist Mikael, she had no choice but to believe in Mikael for the time being and complete his test.

However, there is another reason why she temporarily trusts Mikael. Bronya always feels that the feelings Mikael No. 1 and No. 2 had for Xier are not the same. It was a lie, and in a sense it was stronger than his feelings for Xi'er. No matter which Michael he is, he should not do anything detrimental to Xi'er... Although, based on this standard, the Michael No. 1 that Bronya is most familiar with has no influence on Sister Mei and idiot Qi. It seems that Yana’s feelings are not fake...

Forget it... Anyway, in the previous three years at St. Freya Academy... the four of them had their heads rubbed by this lunatic, and there was no point in dwelling on such a thing.

"Bronya, logically speaking, our mission should not encounter too strong Honkaimon, but once we get into a battle, Kevin and I sometimes have trouble protecting you, so you have to be thoughtful. Be prepared. Many times, only you can protect yourself.”

"Um."

Bronya couldn't figure out what Mikael meant, so she could only respond softly to show that she knew.

"snort."

The corners of Mikael's mouth seemed to turn up. Bronya originally thought it was an illusion, but who would have thought that the next moment he would actually put on the same stinky smile as Kevin before:

"Of course, as your brother, I can never bear to let you go to the battlefield with a pistol and a dagger."

Mikael bent his calves and hooked down to the seat, kicking a metal box to Bronya's feet in a manner that Bronya couldn't see clearly.

"Open it and take a look. Consider it a gift from me as your brother for your first mission."

Bronya glanced at him suspiciously, opening and closing her lips twice silently.

In the end, she bent down under the smile on Mikael's face.

"Uh... um... ha... Mikael, can you kick it a little more?"

The seat belt restrained Bronya from reaching the box.

After finally picking up the box, Bronya immediately felt a heavy weight. She quickly put the box on her knees, glanced at Mikael quickly on the stage, and then opened the box neatly.

"This is……"

Looking at the silver metal gloves in the box, Bronya was a little confused.

Kevin on the side leaned his head over, then patted his head and exclaimed:

"I*! Isn't this the weapon you used before, Mikael? After you didn't want it, the higher-ups didn't take it back?"

"It was just sitting in the warehouse and getting dusty, so I took it out."

Mikael explained expressionlessly, but turned his head away with some guilt.

"Oh...huh? You mean...the higher-ups don't know?"

"Anyway, this thing is just an ordinary soul steel glove without me. Even if the old guys know it, they won't say anything. However, if it is Bronya, it should be able to exert its power, right?"

"Wait a minute. This doesn't seem like your style. Could it be that Ai Li stole it? It must be, right?"

Mikael suddenly lost his voice. After a while, long enough that he could clearly feel the combat airship beginning to circle and dive, preparing to land, he looked out the window again and spoke:

"In a sense, yes."

Bronya's brows twitched, and she was suddenly curious about who was Alicia, the character who had heard it from Sakura and appeared frequently in the conversations in front of her?

Before Bronya and Kevin could say anything more, Mikael turned his head back and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Okay, let's continue to introduce the mission situation. The place where the abnormal Honkai reaction occurs is Dusk Street. You should all be familiar with this place name, right?"

The corners of Bronya's mouth pulled down, but she immediately noticed that Mikael's eyes were fixed on Kevin when he spoke.

The next moment, I heard Kevin’s thoughtful explanation next to me:

"That's a world-famous no-nothing zone, so nothing is unexpected. I heard that Velvet was arrested here... Well, in that case, Mikael, have you been here a few years ago?"

"Yes. I have a reliable informant in Twilight Street. I asked her to collect relevant information when we set off. Considering that some things can only be explained clearly in person, after the combat airship landed, we rushed to Twilight Street immediately without rest. , just find her before dark and get the information from her. "

"No rest? Oh, you didn't tell me earlier!"

"I've said it before, some veterans know how to squander their energy and start sighing when they have to perform tasks..."

"You said you weren't talking about me!"

"Snapped!"

Mikael took out a piece of tape from somewhere and slapped it directly on Kevin's mouth.

While the latter was busy studying "how to remove the tape so as not to leave a piece of stubble like hair removal cream," Mikael suddenly came forward, met Bronya's eyes, and spoke in an extremely low voice. said:

"You heard it just now, Bronya, Dusk Street, the world's most famous Sangui zone. Unfortunately, this does not include 'Honkai Sanshi', and naturally it does not include 'Fire Chaser Moth'. But that's not what I want to say.

"Remember, Bronya, remember - there is a high probability that we will not encounter Honkai Beasts in this mission, but we must not feel comfortable because of this. In fact, among the troubles we have to deal with, Honkai Impact It only accounts for a small proportion. It is more like a catalyst that fully catalyzes the opposite of 'beautiful' in the reaction process, and this is what we really need to deal with."

Mikael's eyes were as deep as abyss that could not be looked directly into, but Bronya was as always...

Do not understand.

But she seemed to...seemed to somewhat understand what Mikael meant. After all, there were very few things in this world that could be conveyed in words only.

Oh, Bronya didn't mean that Bronya got too little information from those two paragraphs of Mikael, but...

After all, the information that language can carry is still too little. Compared with dryly wasting saliva, the so-called "world bubble" and "choice" may allow Bronya to understand more of what Mikael wants to express, and also Let Mikael have a deeper understanding of the existence of "Bronya".
