The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Sister Bronya! Sister Bronya!"

"Uh...ah..."

As if falling into a brief coma, Bronya held her head, her muscles tensed, but in the end she leaned against the kitchen wall weakly.

"Sister Bronya, are you okay?"

No matter how anxious Xi'er was, she couldn't change the fact that she couldn't do anything.

The only meaningful action was to squat in front of Bronya and push the horse under her butt towards the wall to prevent her from slipping accidentally.

"Xie'er...Bronya is fine...we...where did we talk about before?"

The tiny flames danced, and the firewood crackled impatiently.

The two girls leaned in the small and closed kitchen, combing through everything that had happened before in a low voice.

"Sister Bronya, we have failed three times before. According to you, the first failure was because it took too long to think. The second time, sister, you took the initiative to express your refusal to execute the order to Brother Mikael, but He only asked, 'What next?', and time turned around again. For the third time, we expressed our choice to carry out the order to Brother Mikael, but again..."

"It's Mikael's fault, absolutely. What are that guy's standards? We haven't found out what is not in line with his wishes, but it's already... hateful... already, almost reaching the limit."

Bronya held her head and tried to stand up, but even if Xi'er helped her in time, the end result was that Bronya fell weakly back to the horse.

Mikael made up his mind not to tell them the content of the "test" and claimed that they should figure it out on their own. But how can such a thing be done so easily...

Therefore, after realizing that "failure" would lead to reincarnation, Bronya immediately thought of a trick.

This is also a rare opportunity.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly walked back to Mikael and gave her choice. And when failure triggered reincarnation, she quickly chose another option...

How to put it, the failure was a bit surprising, but not that surprising. Between the superposition of the two states of accident and not accident, this feeling is somewhat difficult to describe, but there is no need to describe it.

At least the two girls discovered a very important rule - it seems that the test standard is not simply a question of which option to choose.

Although the way to obtain this information is somewhat disgraceful, it is not based on thinking and understanding, but on exploiting loopholes in the rules.

Perhaps it is because of this that after Bronya woke up these two times, her condition became visibly worse.

It was as if she had never gotten any sleep during these four days and three nights. On the contrary, Xi'er had no problem. I don't know whether it was because Bronya was the one who came up with this opportunistic method instead of her, or whether it was just because of someone's partiality.

"The standard of the test is not which option Bronya will choose, but in that case, what exactly is the so-called test? Is it... related to Mikael's own experience?"

This is not impossible, nor is it an unimaginable result, but Xi'er lowered her head unconsciously when she heard the words.

"I'm sorry, Sister Bronya, I should know about those things... If Xier could ask her more about brother Mikael before..."

"Don't say that, Xi'er... don't attribute all the mistakes to yourself. Bronya knows that Xi'er's feelings for Mikael... must have asked her other self many times. It's just that she doesn't want to That’s it. Besides—ahem! In the end, this kind of behavior will not solve any problem except making yourself feel better. If it were Mikael, he would definitely say so.”

"Um……"

Xi'er lowered her head and responded softly.

The kitchen was extremely silent. After four reincarnations, many things seemed to never change, such as the nightingale outside the house that made noise with unusual confidence.

But in the final analysis, Bronya no longer has the strength to resent these unconscious little animals.

Her brain was tired and slow, and she couldn't use any more brainpower. Once she was in her current state, it was still a question whether she could even notice the annoying "tweeting".

"I really want to sleep..."

Leaning against the wall, Bronya's consciousness was almost unsustainable, but she still persisted and refused to give up.

She was afraid that once she fell asleep, she would be reincarnated again, and according to the current information, she would become weaker and weaker with each reincarnation.

Maybe... maybe it's because the whole world is reincarnated, not her own time, that's why she feels like she hasn't slept for a few days and her consciousness is about to collapse. She just needs to rest and sleep for a while, maybe she will be able to alright.

But Bronya didn't dare to gamble at all.

My consciousness has been wandering between waking and dreaming for a long time, and I will fall into a dream if I am not careful, but I also have a very special feeling, as if a hand is holding my soul, and then gently pulling it upward...

"Bang!"

The kitchen door was pushed open again, and Kevin leaned against the door frame in the same posture as before, waving to Bronya.

"Bronya, come with me, Mikael has something to tell you."

"Okay...wait for Bronya."

Holding one hand on the wall and the other on Xi'er's shoulder, Bronya stood up with difficulty, her legs still shaking.

Kevin's expression finally changed.

"Hey! You haven't been in a good state since the day, Bronya. If it doesn't work, I'll tell Mikael and let you rest first?"

Bronya waved her hands and took a deep breath.

But before he could answer anything, his eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.

Kevin and Xier looked at each other, and after a while, Kevin waved his hand.

"You should take her to rest first. In this case, we can't continue the mission no matter what."

"ah……"

Looking at Xi'er who was still a little overwhelmed, Kevin rolled his tongue in his mouth and wanted to say something, but couldn't help but sigh.

"Forget it, don't worry, it's not a big problem, just let her sleep and wake up."

"Eh?"

Xier looked at Kevin with burning eyes, as if she heard something incredible. At the same time, her hands trembled.

Looking at Xi'er who still didn't understand, Kevin smoothed his white hair, stepped forward and put the back of his hand on Bronya's forehead.

"It's okay, don't worry. She is a little tired. Her forehead is a little hot. She may have a fever, but the temperature is not high. She really just needs to take a rest. Ah... I'm sorry, I was stupid. There is nothing you can do. Please take her back to the dormitory."

Having said this, Kevin sighed helplessly, and then took the initiative to bend down and pick up Bronya from the ground.

"Let's go, you can lead the way. At least we can't let her lie on the ground and get cold again. It's not good for her spine either."

"oh oh!"

Xier stood up as if she had just woken up from a dream. First she instinctively wanted to take Bronya from Kevin's hand, and then she turned around and opened the door to the backyard in a daze.

The cold wind rushed in all of a sudden. Kevin turned sideways and blocked the cold air with his strong arms.

Kevin still remembers that when he just had the super-transformation surgery, his body temperature remained at minus 30 degrees, and he couldn't even get close to Mei. Although that side effect was patched up by Mebius not long after, it was somewhat ironic to use such a body to help humans block the cold.

"Uh...Kevin...Uncle Kevin."

Xi'er, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted a little loudly.

"Huh? Your name is Xi'er, what's wrong?"

Xi'er lowered her head and walked forward slowly, stepping on the shadow cast by Kevin behind her with every step. She wrung her hands in front of her and took several deep breaths, but did not answer.

Kevin was not in a hurry and just followed Xier step by step.

If a person really wants to say something, no one or anything can stop him.

On the contrary, if a person does not want to say anything at all, then at least the means within the scope of human nature will not have any effect.

When the two of them walked through the backyard and were about to arrive at the door of the dormitory, Xier finally made up her mind, turned around, blocked the thin wooden door, and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Kevin, you...are the real Uncle Kevin, right?"

"ah?"

Kevin's unclear hum made Xi'er feel unconfident again, but just when she lowered her head and thought about how to resolve the misunderstanding, Kevin nodded generously.

"Yes, if everything that happened in the intrinsic world is regarded as the only and absolute reality, then I should be the 'real Kevin' in your mouth. But, can you only say that my acting skills are really bad? In the end You were recognized by Mikael at first, and then you, Xier..."

"Hey! Does brother Mikael even know?"

"Um."

Kevin nodded neatly, but he didn't want to say anything more on this matter.

"However, I'm quite curious. How did you figure it out? Did I make any obvious mistakes?"

"That... I'm not sure."

Xi'er scratched her head and said.

"If Uncle Kevin is Uncle Kevin in this world bubble, then he probably won't know about the relationship between Sister Bronya and Xier, especially when the world bubble keeps reincarnating. Although Xier and Bu Sister Lonia showed a familiar attitude, but based on this alone, under normal circumstances, Uncle Kevin would not trust Xier to take Sister Bronya back to the dormitory of the orphanage to rest, right? However, Xier was not sure, either? Is that so? After all, Xi'er doesn't know how much information Uncle Kevin has about the orphanage. Maybe he just feels that the orphanage is safe after a comprehensive assessment of the intelligence... But, Uncle Kevin, your attitude towards Sister Bronya It didn’t seem that surprising, so Bronya felt that you might know something..."

"Is that so?"

Kevin had the urge to pat his head, but after all, he couldn't do it with the person in his hand.

The relationship between Bronya and Seele was told by Mikael. In addition, since Mikael acquiesced in Bronya and Seele returning to the dormitory of the orphanage to rest in the first reincarnation, Kevin also acquiesced here. It's safe, I'm afraid Bronya feels the same way.

But if you think about it from another perspective, if he is really Kevin in this world, then he should know nothing about the information before reincarnation. Then, under the condition of ensuring the safety of her comrades, it should be impossible to allow Xier to take Bronya back to the dormitory of the orphanage to rest, let alone take the initiative to propose this.

Of course, there is also... he acted a little too calmly towards Bronya's abnormal state. Generally speaking, one's comrades would be more worried if something like this happened to them, especially if the person in trouble was the "sister" of one's comrades.

All in all, it was a terrible performance. Perhaps, the short and long five hundred years he spent in the Quantum Sea have made him extremely slow in this regard.

Although, he is not good at lying and acting.

"That...Uncle Kevin!"

The blue pupils slowly raised and fell on the extremely familiar face of the girl in front of him.

"Anything else?"

"I...Xie'er would like to ask, does Uncle Kevin know about Brother Mikael's testing standards? Originally, Xi'er and Sister Bronya planned to find this bit by bit by elimination method, but now it seems that Bronya Sister Nia’s condition doesn’t seem to be able to last for long…”

"For this kind of thing, shouldn't it be better to ask Mikael directly?"

"Yes...yes, Sister Bronya has tried several times, but Brother Mikael said that he is both the examiner and the question maker, and you cannot seek answers from him...But Uncle Kevin, you are not..."

"Even if you say so, I..."

"Uncle Kevin, don't you know? Then at least... at least share your judgment with us, okay?"

Seeing Xi'er's suddenly disappointed look, Kevin didn't hesitate any longer.

"If you ask me, those two things changed Mikael the most. He became what he is now, mostly due to the influence of those two things."

He was obviously shocked by Mikael's understanding of Mikael not long ago, but when he really spoke, Kevin discovered that he knew the man named Mikael far better than he thought.

"His purpose should be to let this girl named Bronya inherit the power of the Herrscher of Reason, so it is related to that matter. I don't know how to describe that matter, but …”

…………

"How about it, Mikael, you should be satisfied with my explanation."

"You asked knowingly. Since I didn't interfere, it means it doesn't matter."

Mikael glanced at Kevin lightly, and then spoke out of control:

"Kevin, do you know what is the most important ability for the Herrscher of Reason? No, it is not a smart mind, but timely decision-making. As long as there is enough time, it will be sooner or later to master the method of constructing multiple weapons. , but when facing a real dilemma, when you have to choose the right thing to construct within a few tenths of a second...

"Many times, there is actually nothing appropriate. It seems that many times decisions are not right or wrong, because since it can put a person in a dilemma, it means that there is a 'reasonableness' between each option. However, If you are caught in a dilemma and are unable to make a decision, you will really die...

"Just like me before, whether I choose to fight or not fight, there are actually good reasons. But I chose to do nothing in those few dozen minutes. In fact, it's not that I don't know what I should do. , is nothing more than an excuse to evade responsibility.

"As for the child Bronya, there is no doubt that she is an excellent soldier. She can always make quick judgments and decisions in simple battles. But this is not enough. What she will experience in the future is completely Different things, because her own choices lead to consequences for herself and others to bear the consequences, the psychological pressure she has to endure is completely different. She must take this step before she can accept the power of the Lawyer. There is only one criterion for passing the test——

"Whether she accepts the order or refuses to carry it out, it must be a carefully considered decision on her part within a short period of time, and she takes full responsibility for her decision."

"Then what if...she fails..."

A stream of hot air came out of Kevin's body, although it was only fleeting.

"She won't fail."
