"Kiana——!? You are actually right next to Mei——?!!!" Kiana shrank her neck, raised her head tremblingly, looked at the angry figure on the screen, and smiled awkwardly: "Hey... Hey, aunt, hello... Long time no see..." “Long time no see, you little head——!” Theresa on the screen subconsciously sneered at Kiana’s face, then suddenly reacted, “Mei, where are you now? We’ll be there right away! Kiana, stay by Mei’s side and don’t run away! How dare you run away from home for such a long time?! You’ve grown wings, haven’t you? Wait and see how I’ll deal with you!” "Wow... the me in that other world, she, she is so fierce, Buluo..." At this moment, a voice with some fear suddenly sounded. Buluo, dressed in black, patted Trili's head gently and walked to her silently: "Don't be afraid, Trili, this should just be something like a magical communication. You in another world, she herself is not in this cafe." Theresa's expression on the virtual screen froze: "Whose voice is this? Is there anyone else around you?" "Hmm...how should I put it..."
Mei Raiden thought about it and pointed the camera of the communicator towards the entrance of the cafe. "As you can see, we just met a few ordinary magical girls." “Magical girl?” Theresa on the virtual screen was dumbfounded. She looked at Brollo, Bronya, and Trili who appeared on the screen and was completely stunned. “All three of them? No, that’s not right! Mei, where are you and Kiana? Why are there magical girls?” Are you guys really not kidding me? "Correction, Bronya is not a magical girl, and she is not interested in becoming one." Bronya raised her hand calmly and said in an emotionless tone, "Please do not confuse Bronya with these two." "Huh? You're Bronya? But isn't Bronya still here?" Just as Theresa on the screen showed an increasingly confused expression, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from the communicator. "President, Bronya heard that Kiana contacted you suddenly?" Then came the sound of crisp footsteps and a milky voice: "Is the dean contacting Mei-sister to explain the situation?" Theresa on the screen turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice: "Bronya... why did you suddenly get up from the bed? You just came back to reality, are you okay?" "Bronya is fine. Compared to the injury she suffered in the Quantum Sea, it was the injury caused by Rosalia's brooch that hurt Bronya more." The milky voice said lightly. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Finally, a childish face with an indifferent expression and a pair of gray eyes full of gentleness entered the virtual screen and was next to Theresa's face. "Compared to Bronya's situation, it's Kiana and Mei-nee's situation... eh?" The person on the screen was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in the hall, and his expression gradually became serious: "Mei also has Bronya and the dean... In this case, could it be..." "...Sister Mei, why did you suddenly run into the Quantum Sea?" "Eh?" Raiden Mei showed a surprised expression, "Bronya, how did you know?" "Because Bronya just came out of the world bubble in the Quantum Sea with Seele not long ago, so she has experience in dealing with similar situations..." As she spoke, Bronya on the other side of the screen suddenly showed a confused expression, "Wait, since Mei is in the Quantum Sea, the communicator over there should not be able to connect to the real world signal... Why can Mei still contact the dean?" Mei Raiden hesitated for a moment: "...This, I'm not sure either..." "Wait - wait a minute -!" Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted Raiden Mei's words. Bronya, standing in front of the two magical girls, maintained a calm expression. Her steps into the hall revealed an unprecedented obsession: "Seele - you just said that you and Seele returned to the real world from the world bubble in the quantum sea not long ago?"
"Please tell Bronya about Seele! I'm begging you! Bronya will do anything!" "..." Bronya on the other side of the screen stared at the Bronya in the hall, with an inexplicable look in her eyes. After a moment of silence, Bronya on the screen spoke: "We received your request, but each world has different situations. Bronya cannot trust you. Bronya suggests that you share all the information you know with us." Bronya answered immediately: "I agree. What do you want to know?" Bronya on the screen said calmly: "Based on your appearance and interpersonal relationships, you should be from Bronya four years ago - that is, in 2013 AD. Is that correct?" "Yes, Bronya is in December 2013, 12. She came to Changzora City to execute Cocolia's mother's task and capture the third Herrscher's body, Raiden Mei." Hearing Bronya introducing herself in the hall, Mei Raiden and Kiana both showed a look of realization. No wonder this Bronya subconsciously showed hostile intentions when she saw Raiden Mei. If she was from 2013, Bronya at that time was still in a hostile relationship with the two of them. Suddenly, Kiana was stunned. When she realized what it meant for someone from 2013 to appear in this cafe, her pupils suddenly contracted. Bronya on the screen pondered for a moment: "December 2013, 12... In other words, in your world, Seele disappeared for four months?" "One hundred and three days to be exact." Bronya lowered her eyelids in the hall in a depressed mood. Obviously, most of her emotions had disappeared, but when she recalled the scene of Seele disappearing in front of her eyes, she still felt a knife-like pain in her chest. Chapter 4: Changes in Shencheng Medicine (k) (Refresh) Bronya on the screen looked at the depressed "other self" with a calm expression, but she did not feel much emotion deep in her heart. As a fellow "Bronya", she could certainly understand the predicament she faced in 2013 when Seele had just disappeared. But first of all, the "self" in 2013 has never encountered this strange cafe. Even if she is also Bronya, she and the person standing in the lobby are not the same individual. Secondly, if this "Bronya" had similar experiences to her in the past, then at least from her own point of view, the other party was not worthy of her sympathy. Bronya thinks that her life can be considered magnificent. After the second collapse, Siberia, which was the main area affected by the disaster, set off a serious civil unrest. It was at that time that Bronya was adopted by a local warlord and trained to be a terrifying killing machine. In 2012, she was adopted by the "witch" Cocolia during an assassination operation, and she had a brief warm time in the following two years. Up to this point, it can be said that she had not made any major mistakes in her life. However, after Seele disappeared, Bronya committed a crime that she could not even excuse herself. In order to find Seele who disappeared in the real world, she and Cocolia placed their hopes on another stigma holder, Raiden Mei, and in order to stimulate Raiden Mei's power, they jointly planned the "Third Collapse" in Nagizora City, which directly led to the death of millions of people in Nagizora City. Bronya is not the kind of person who lives in the past. Having experienced many changes in her life, she actually knows how to comfort herself. Rather than being immersed in the mistakes she made in the past, she is more willing to use actual actions to prove her feelings and determination, which is commonly known as "a ruthless person who doesn't talk much." Driven by this almost paranoid personality, even before she finds Seele, she can risk her life to burn the biochip in her brain in order to protect Raiden Mei's life and escape from Cocolia's control. By now, Kiana and Mei Raiden would probably no longer question Bronya's friendship with them because of the third Honkai Impact, and Bronya would certainly not go about dancing in a minefield right under Mei Raiden's nose, asking for trouble. But that doesn't mean Bronya has completely forgotten what happened during the third Honkai Impact. If she had the chance to go back to the past, she would probably slap herself hard in the face. Even if she had a legitimate reason like finding Seele, Bronya now did not think that was an excuse for her to treat the lives of millions of residents in Changkong City as worthless.
Not to mention the results, actively triggering the third collapse did not help her find Seele at all. Even if she successfully found Seele after causing the Third Honkai Impact with the results they gained from the Third Honkai Impact, how could Seele be happy with her kind character? It can be said that even in Bronya's own opinion, her 2013 self had lost the necessary calmness because of Seele's disappearance, and had completely lost the ability to weigh the pros and cons, so it was natural that she could not give her past self a good look. ...Of course, how much of this is due to her successful recovery of Xier and becoming a winner in life is not something that others can know. "Since you are Bronya from 2013, and you have admitted that you and Cocolia's mother planned the third Honkai Impact, then first of all, Bronya requires you to immediately abandon your plan to create Honkai Impact in Changkong City." Bronya on the screen said lightly, "Bronya can tell you that creating the third Honkai Impact will not help you find Seele." "Understood." Bronya in the hall raised her head again and nodded slightly. "Secondly, Bronya requires you to stay in that store and help us keep an eye on Kiana - um, that stupid silver-haired paramecium next to Mei. Don't let her run out of the store casually." Kiana who was shot for no reason: "??????" You are sick, Bronya!!! After hearing Bronya's request on the screen, Mei Raiden also revealed a somewhat subtle expression: "Bronya, after all, Kiana is still under my nose. You should not need to let your past self monitor her specifically." "That's what I'm saying!" Kiana raised her eyebrows and put her hands on her hips. "And you, little dwarf, are you taking this opportunity to throw dirty water on me again? I've told you so many times! Don't call me Paramecium! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" Bronya on the screen didn't bother to pay attention to Kiana's argument. She rolled her eyelids slightly and focused her scrutinizing gaze on Raiden Mei. "No, it is necessary. Based on Bronya's understanding of Mei, if there were no one to supervise her, no one would know whether Mei would inexplicably give in to the stupid Kiana's soft and hard persuasion." "Uh...is it that serious?" Raiden Mei felt a little guilty. "It's that serious." Bronya on the screen said calmly, "So, I'll leave that idiot to you, Bronya from the past." Bronya in the hall glanced at Kiana and nodded: "Understood, as long as Bronya is still alive, she will never be allowed to step out of the door of the cafe." "...It's not that serious." Bronya on the screen said, "Sister Mei, where are you guys exactly now?" "There is a cafe in the suburbs of Sky City. The name of the store is Hyperion. The specific longitude and latitude coordinates are 106°35′ east longitude and 32°96′ north latitude." Raiden Mei said, "Also, it seems that this cafe can only be seen by certain people with the naked eye. All other electronic monitoring equipment cannot capture the image of this cafe. Please be a little careful when you come over." "In the suburbs of Sky City, in a cafe...Hyperion?" Theresa on the screen was suddenly stunned. "Well, the situation in this cafe is... a little special. Let's talk about the details after everyone comes here." Raiden Mei nodded. "Also, please don't be hostile to other people in the cafe. The manager of this cafe helped Kiana control her Herrscher Will. Most of the employees in the cafe are not the ones we know." "The same individual in different world bubbles? Bronya knew, after all, she had just experienced a similar situation." Bronya on the screen nodded. "Helped Kiana control the Herrscher's Will?" Theresa on the screen widened her eyes in disbelief, "Mei, is this true?!" "Well, based on what the squad leader said, it should be true." Raiden Mei nodded. "Team Leader... Fu Hua is also with you?" Theresa was surprised at first, then nodded quickly, "I understand. If this store manager really helped Kiana control the Herrscher consciousness in her body, then he is Kiana's benefactor and our benefactor as well, and he deserves our kindness and rewards." "I will come with everyone to pick you up right away. We will arrive at your coordinates in about five hours. That's it for now." As soon as the words fell, the picture on the screen went out impatiently, and the atmosphere in the hall fell into silence again. ——In 2017, Theresa and Bronya, who had just escaped from the Quantum Sea, were anxiously preparing to meet up with Kiana and Raiden Mei. At noon in Tianqiong City, Shencheng Medicine, which has undergone the scrutiny of destiny, is experiencing an unprecedented major change. At first, neither Yulandel nor Rita took this small review seriously. After all, the original purpose of this review was to find clues about the experimental subject K423 from the information channels controlled by Shencheng Pharmaceuticals.
Now, the exact location of subject K423 has been discovered by Rita in an unexpected encounter, so of course they no longer need to find K423 from the information held by Shencheng Medicine. But when the two S-class Valkyries stepped into the science and technology park, Yulandel's expression suddenly changed. ——She smelled something unusual in the science and technology park of Shencheng Pharmaceutical. It was difficult for Yulandel to describe what that strange smell was, because that smell was more like an intuition similar to the sixth sense than a smell. Four years ago, she had fought against a Honkai creature who claimed to be a "God" in order to protect a world bubble in the Quantum Sea. That Honkai creature manipulated the Honkai in his body to erode the ether anchor point of that world bubble, and in this way he achieved complete control over that world bubble, almost like a "God". Although the so-called "God" died suddenly under the holy sword of Yulandel not long after, due to the brief erosion, the ether anchor point of that world had been inseparably bound to the Honkai energy and was on the verge of collapse. In order to delay the collapse of the world bubble, Yulandel, under the guidance of Dr. Schrödinger, reversed the world bubble into her own body. So in a sense, at this moment, Yulandel is also like a "god" in the eyes of that world bubble. Of course, with Yulandel's personality, even if she became the "god" of that world bubble, she would not be able to rewrite the things in that world bubble unscrupulously. But no matter what, no matter what she thinks about the identity of "God", she is indeed standing in that position after all, and has actually gained power from the entire world bubble. First of all, because there is an entire world bubble in her body, Yulandel's spatial cognition ability has been enhanced to a level that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Usually, human's cognition of space comes from the five senses. On the other hand, if it is a place that cannot be reached by the five senses, then for ordinary humans, that space can be said to be equivalent to non-existence. After all, it is impossible for humans to confirm something that cannot be seen or touched. But for Yulandel, even without relying on her five senses, she might be able to grasp the situation of the space to a certain extent. The most direct benefit brought by this abnormal spatial ability is that after equipping the fourth-generation armor named Shining Knight Yuepo, even if she cannot always grasp the positions of the self-propelled phantoms "King" and "Queen" with her naked eyes, Yulandel can easily control them and fully exert their full capabilities on the complex and ever-changing battlefield. To outsiders, the self-propelled phantoms "King" and "Queen" controlled by Yulandel are probably just like two comrades-in-arms who have a perfect understanding of each other. It is for the same reason that since Yulandel can grasp every change in space without the aid of vision, then of course she can also perceive abnormal fluctuations in space under the cover of objects. For example, right now - even though she didn't directly see the abnormal thing, Yulandel still keenly noticed that in a space deep underground in the Shencheng Pharmaceutical Industrial Park, there was a space fluctuation that should only exist in the quantum sea. Based on the basic logic of presumption of innocence, in the absence of conclusive evidence, even if Yulandel noticed abnormal fluctuations deep underground, she did not directly link the abnormal fluctuations to Shencheng Medicine. But as a Valkyrie, she certainly couldn't just ignore the abnormal fluctuations that were eroding the real world. So after meeting with Shencheng Pharmaceutical's consultant Xiola, this cute girl with a straightforward personality immediately put forward her request. "——I will break through your ground. Please ask all employees of Shencheng Pharmaceutical to prepare for the shock." "what?" The consultant lady in OL attire and Rita in formal attire were both stunned by Yulandel's unexpected proposal. As the vice-captain of the Undying Blade, Rita knew that her captain would not do anything without a purpose, so she responded immediately: "Lord Yulandel, do you feel anything down there?" "Well, if left alone, it will probably cause a great disaster to the city." Yulandel nodded, and immediately armed herself with the armor of the Shining Knight Yuepo in a dazzling blue glow, and then flew into the air from the landing platform of the Eos, leaving no time for the dazed consultant to react. “Wait…!! You guys…!”
There was no time for the consultant to stop him. After he flew into the air, an extremely fierce blue flame burst out from behind the brilliant knight Yuepo. Yulandel's body, like a falling comet, sank straight into the ground in the middle of the industrial park. "Fuck! This lunatic——!!!" Boom! Along with the shock wave that rose from the ground, the thick ground was lifted up layer by layer under the extremely violent attack of Yulandel. Rita subconsciously raised her arms to protect her eyes, but her pupils suddenly shrank after seeing something deep underground. Weird Honkai beasts, weird dead soldiers, and what could only be considered corpses were floating in countless culture tanks. The bodies of those dead soldiers were covered with lines similar to stigmata, which reflected an ominous light under the sunlight. Chapter 4: Hyperion Cafe in the pre-civilization era (k)
