The gray snake lowered its head, looking like a dog.

A red mechanical eye stared at Jiang Chen, flashing with unspeakable pain.

This man… that was him! He had actually pulled the Serpent Lord out of the Paradise of the Past? Even though he was his creator, one of the Lords of the World Serpent, as a creature, Gray Snake was well aware of the terrifying power of the Infinite Serpent.

So, does this man in front of me understand what unforgivable sin he has committed?

He hated her so much that he labeled her as vicious as Cocolia.

On the surface, he was extremely respectful to Jiang Chen, and within half an hour after receiving the order to arrest Cocolia, he put all his efforts into it.

"As you instructed, I have taken Cocolia under control. She is still at your disposal."

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and prepare to activate the Eye of the Abyss. I'm going to the Quantum Sea later."

Jiang Chen waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Eye of the Abyss?"

Gray Snake was shocked, the surprise came too suddenly: "Are you going to rescue the Lord? That's great, with your ability, you can definitely bring the Lord back, and then the Stigma Project..."

"What are you talking about, kid? Who's going to save Kevin? I'm going to rescue the beautiful girl. As for Kevin, why don't you just let him rot in the Quantum Ocean?"

Jiang Chen's face was full of surprise.

Indeed, he liked and respected the Thirteen Heroes.

My liking for Kevin's character is second only to Alicia's.

But even though he likes him, it's a bit difficult to ask him to release Kevin.

Just like he wasn't going to deal with Otto.

Otto is not trustworthy until his long-cherished wish is fulfilled.

Before the level collapses, Kevin is also out of control.

If he were to release it, Kevin would likely immediately initiate the Stigmata Project, forcing him to confront the Cocoon of the End. How desperate must he be to rescue Kevin from his mad state?

"Well, go get ready. After using the Eye of the Abyss, this facility will be completely shut down. To prevent Kevin from climbing out, you must keep a close eye on the data."

"what?"

"Why, do you have to have Mebius tell you in person?"

"But Lord Kevin..."

"That's it."

Jiang Chen took out his phone: "Mobius, please..."

"Lord Kevin, there is no way he can escape from the Quantum Ocean!"

Gray Snake turned around and began to mobilize.

Snake's reputation is useful.

After sending the gray snake away, Jiang Chen finally had some free time and turned his attention to the golden-haired creature twisting wildly on the ground.

"Hey~ This is Kokolia. Come to think of it, this is the first time we've really met. We haven't seen each other for two years, why are you so disappointed?"

Jiang Chen's smile contained malice.

Chapter 171 Bronya Zajcek.

Jiang Chen's face showed undisguised malice and sarcasm.

But inwardly, even he was surprised by how little pleasure he felt in revenge. Perhaps he hadn't truly begun to torture Kokolia yet, or perhaps her current miserable state was simply worthy of his insane crimes.

"Don't you want to say something about what you did, Cocolia?"

What do you need the other person to say?

The last time they met was in Changkong City, but he was powerless to resist. He was forced to become a cog in Cocolia's purpose, and finally fled the collapsed world in desperation.

But now when they meet again, Jiang Chen no longer needs to do it himself. He just gives an order and others will do it for him and send his enemies to him.

No matter how he thought about it, at this moment, the only feeling that Jiang Chen had in his heart was irony.

"It's just a matter of success or failure. What do you want to hear? A compliment or a plea for mercy?"

Cocolia smiled self-deprecatingly.

Once, I was an ant I never looked down upon. In just two years, I had climbed out of hell and reached heights she couldn't even reach. Now, I was a prisoner, an ant that she couldn't see unless she lowered her head. It was so similar to the scene two years ago when I had tied that boy up to the rooftop of Qianyu Academy and killed him as a sacrifice.

but……

"You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you. You're just doing the same thing I did two years ago. Don't act so superior. You're not much better than me."

Kokolia will not admit her guilt.

No, she never even felt that the things she had done could be called sins.

"Kid, let me tell you, back in Siberia, I was taught a lesson. If you want to get something, you must first learn to give up. As long as you can achieve the desired result, all the sacrifices along the way are just the necessary price. So I have no regrets, it's impossible for me to regret!"

"Regret? Is that all you have to say?"

"Why, are you disappointed?"

Cocolia suddenly developed a strange feeling.

Since defeat is inevitable, why not drag this strange guy into the water with him?

Looking forward to it, looking forward to this guy showing an angry expression.

Looking forward to it, looking forward to this guy becoming like me one day.

Looking forward to him becoming like me!

So, Cocolia cursed: "If I have to say regret, the only thing I regret is that I missed the chance to kill you. If I had the chance again, I would do better and kill you for sure. You just keep acting so high and mighty now. Sooner or later, you will be like me, betrayed by your companions. My today is your future!"

"You are such a boring woman."

Looking down at the crazy woman on the ground, Jiang Chen suddenly felt fed up.

How should I describe it? Probably... disappointment.

It feels like you’ve been looking forward to it for a long time, made a lot of efforts, and finally got what you’ve always dreamed of, only to find that this is it?

"I've said a lot, but you only got one thing right. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "What you think has nothing to do with me, whether it's noble or not...it's even more ridiculous. This is not a trial, and I'm not the judge. Today is pure revenge, Cocolia."

"..."

Suddenly, Cocolia lost her voice.

Because she found that no matter whether she cursed or used the past to provoke Jiang Chen, she could not anger him. She had no status in his heart, not even an enemy?

"You should have something to say to her, right? I'll leave this to you. When you're done, hand her over to Gray Snake for imprisonment."

Jiang Chen gave an order and left without looking back.

Bronya, who remained where she was, had a complicated expression on her face.

Cocolia looked up at her daughter: "Bronya, are you... okay?"

The girl responded with a cold expression.

Ever since she learned from Gray Snake at the World Serpent Base that she was still being manipulated by Cocolia even after her defection, and that her invasion of the Anti-Entropy branch was all due to Cocolia's desire to spy on Thunder Ryuma's research and her authority within Anti-Entropy, Bronya had completely lost hope in this woman.

It wasn't out of anger at betrayal, nor was it out of sadness at being exploited. It was simply the realization that all the woman's sentimental words were lies... or more precisely, lies that deceived even her own. Cocolia achieved her goals by hurting those around her, then suffered for it, and continued to hurt them next time.

Such feelings are meaningless.

Mother and daughter stared at each other in a long silence.

From beginning to end, Bronya had a cold expression on her face and watched with complicated eyes until the end.

After imprisoning the other party, I heard the last words, which seemed to be...

"Bronya, you shouldn't have to worry about your safety when you're with that person. You need to take care of yourself. I'm... sorry."

Bronya paused, then took a firm step forward.

It's like this again, saying moving words, the depth of the emotion can be felt by everyone who hears it.

But the girl knew that her adoptive mother would never change.

When the girl returned to Jiang Chen, the Eye of the Abyss had already started working.

Gazing at the vortex in front of her that was emitting a strong Houkai energy, Bronya was distracted for a moment.

Soon, Xier will be rescued.

She couldn't help but recall the day Xier left.

The place that once felt like home has gradually drifted away. Perhaps it was from the day her adoptive mother betrayed her. Everything she once possessed was like sand. The tighter she grasped, the faster it slipped through her fingers, dissolving bit by bit into nothingness. She thought time would heal the scars, but in the end, that indescribable pain once again choked her throat.

It was as if there were cold chains binding her, dragging her into the abyss.

"Bronya?"

"Woo~"

The girl came back to her senses and looked up at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"What's wrong? You look so depressed? Did you hear anything that upset you when you said goodbye to her just now?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

"No, Bronya is fine."

The gray-haired girl shook her head, as if hesitating about something.

After a while, her tone became more sincere: "Bronya knows that she has done many wrong things. She has no right to refute. Bronya can repent, can atone for her sins, and can do anything for you. So please, please, Jiang Chen, help Bronya rescue Seele. Bronya is willing to give everything."

Cocolia's curses did not affect Jiang Chen, but they did affect her.

She was no different from Cocolia in aiding and abetting the evil. Even if, as Cocolia said, she would one day end up like her, she would be willing to accept the retribution.

However, her only wish...is not to let Xier be implicated in the sins she and Cocolia committed.

That girl is innocent.

Like a prayer, the girl confessed her sins to Jiang Chen and prayed for the only peace.

"What nonsense! Wasn't this the agreement from the beginning? If you're still upset about what happened, then work hard for me from now on. As your boss, I'll take all the blame for your mistakes."

Jiang Chen gave him a slap without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Bronya..."

The girl was a little dazed, as if she was meeting this bad guy who threatened her the first time she met him.

Thank you, my Lord.

Chapter 172 Xier: My sister was bullied by a scumbag?

Once the anchor point of the Quantum Sea becomes stable, the Eye of the Abyss will be officially activated.

Jiang Chen did not bring Bronya with him.

Firstly, the girl's physical condition in all aspects (Honkai energy) is not actually that good. Compared with the level of Mei and Kiana, it is even more disgraceful.

Secondly, I was really worried about the gray snake. If it suddenly got crazy and let Kevin out, it would be a lot of fun.

"Keep an eye on Gray Snake. If you notice him doing anything strange, contact Mebius. She'll know what to do. Don't worry about me. Even if the Eye of the Abyss closes, I'll have a way to get back."

Leaving these words behind, Jiang Chen jumped into the sea.

"boom--"

There was no time to explore the environment of the Quantum Sea. The moment Jiang Chen entered, he felt a strong fluctuation.

Hidden breath, took a while to explore.

His expression turned strange.

"Very good, it's you, Master Tan Beng."

As soon as I came in, I saw the scene of Kevin beating Lao Yang... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe the battle process as Walter unilaterally attacking Kevin, but being swept away by Kevin's tail in the form of a giant snake.

In short, it was similar to what Kevin felt when he saw Jiang Chen beating Qianjie madly in the paradise of the past.
