Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"When Mr. Lei Dian Long Ma gets into trouble, there will always be people who want to take advantage of the situation."

Time traces attempt to explain.

"But more than half of those spies were captured by you and your men, Captain."

Bronya said calmly.

The fact that a teenager would take action suggests that the spies were clearly not targeting ME, a technology company.

“...Alright, those were indeed spies sent by Destiny.”

Under the girl's gaze, Shihen had no choice but to confess.

Although the Valkyries of Destiny have always taken protecting the world as their motto, they are never absent from other areas where combat personnel are needed.

Espionage, assassination, infiltration... In another sense, some Valkyries are secret agents trained by Destiny, specifically to do things that cannot be seen in the light of day.

Of course, anti-entropy has never lacked manpower in this area.

Even the former leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Walter Yang, is still working as a spy in St. Freya.

No organization can remain clean and transparent forever once it reaches a certain size; the only difference lies in whether its main tone is shrouded in darkness.

For example, the World Serpent is black from head to tail, and only the boy is a steadfast partner of justice.

Shihen always believed in his own sense of justice, even though his system panel clearly displayed the title of "Mastermind".

“There is an unseen vortex gradually approaching this city, even right next to us.” Bronya’s tone was calm, as if she were stating a simple fact. “Therefore, we have the right to know the truth.”

"Bronya?"

Shihen looked at the girl in surprise.

It has to be said that the wall of anti-entropy does have some holes.

Even though the Herrscher Project hasn't officially started yet, most people who need to know already do.

Even Bronya, a minor character equivalent to a Schicksal B-rank Valkyrie, vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Although many of these clues, whether overt or covert, come from Shihen.

"The fact that our Seventh Squad came to Changkong City was never a coincidence, was it?"

Looking directly into the boy's eyes, Bronya asked, enunciating each word clearly.

“Yes…” Shihen said dejectedly, but then perked up and looked at the gray-haired girl in front of him. “I don’t know much either, but I can tell you that Raiden Mei may be the key to everything.”

Despite the various obvious anomalies, the young boy [Shihen] may not yet be able to guess the full picture of the Anti-Entropy Herrscher Project, but Raiden Mei's importance remains unquestionable.

"Also, if you can, please do everything you can to protect Raiden Mei." For the first time since the conversation began, Shihen looked directly into the girl's gray eyes, his tone becoming solemn and serious. "This is... Anti-Entropy's debt to her..."

Chapter 133 Mei: Seele, you didn't want this either...

After a frank conversation with the girl, Shihen finally saw Bronya off.

It must be said that Duck's keen senses are indeed unmatched by Seele and the others.

Even though it's the same information, YaYa is getting closer to the truth, but Xier and Xing... sometimes even the boy can't fully understand these little girls' thoughts.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the situation continues to move in the direction he expected, Shihen doesn't care about these trivial matters, just as he can tolerate Himeko's occasional coquettishness.

Leaving the pavilion and strolling along a stone path, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on the boy's lips.

In this way, Bronya's guidance can be considered complete.

There's no need to mention Welt White or Cocolia at all; he only needs to point out that Anti-Entropy owes Raiden Mei something, and she can quickly grasp the truth by following this line of thought.

Even though Shihen had already given Bronya an explanation.

If it were Seele or Ann, the matter might have ended there, but Duck could see that the boy was still hiding something, so naturally he couldn't accept such an outcome.

However, even if DuckDuck finds out the truth about Raiden Ryoma, it will still be impossible for him to break ties with Cocolia.

Because from beginning to end, the three children's loyalty to Cocolia as an individual outweighed their belief in anti-entropy justice.

But it doesn't matter, the boy will provide them with an excuse to escape from Cocolia's control.

How can you be a Herrscher if you don't go to St. Freya for further training?

Just look at the fates of the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of the Stars to know.

Even now, Shihen is ashamed to call that brainless thing a Herrscher.

Even if you just randomly pull over Beibeilong, he'd be smarter than those two.

It's a disgrace to the Herrscher community.

Besides, even if Cocolia really lost several daughters, isn't there still Peggy?

Kind-hearted people like this young man give away their gifts very early on.

Therefore, it is only natural that he would charge a price when appropriate.

The boy has always valued fairness.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, while Shihen encountered Bronya, Mei also met the little angel among the three little ones.

Walking alone on a small path, Mei felt a faint gaze coming from behind her. She couldn't help but frown and quickened her pace to turn a corner.

Seeing the figure of the girl with long, straight black hair disappear from sight, Seele felt a pang of panic and quickly followed after her.

But when she reached the corner, the girl quickly looked ahead at the road, only to see a winding path with no one in sight.

"Are you following me?"

In her panic, a cold voice suddenly rang in her ears, which made Seele even more flustered, and she couldn't help but let out a scream.

"..."

Looking at the blue-haired girl in front of her, who resembled a frightened little animal, Mei frowned, her doubts deepening.

But after thinking about it, she decided to take the initiative and ask, "Is there something you need?"

Although they don't spend much time together on a daily basis, only occasionally bumping into each other during lunchtime, Mei can still feel the kindness in this girl.

"No, it's okay."

Seele hurriedly shook her head.

"..." Looking down at the girl in front of her who was clearly being stubborn, Mei frowned slightly. "If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving."

Also, don't follow behind me.

After saying that, Mei turned around and left, leaving the girl with a crisp and decisive back view.

Seeing Mei's decisive action, Seele panicked and hurriedly said, "Wait, Mei-kun!"

Mei paused, turned around to look at the girl, a clear hint of impatience flashing across her face: "So, what exactly do you want?"

She hates the Riddler.

"I……"

But when confronted with Mei's questioning, Seele lowered her head and stammered.

Seeing this, Mei could only sigh and ask bluntly, "Bronya and the others sent you, right?"

She could tell that Bronya was the one in control within the three-person team.

"Well……"

Seele lowered her head even further.

She felt utterly useless; she couldn't even do a simple tracking task well, and the person she was tracking even discovered her.

"Their task for you was to stall me, right?"

Mei made it clear directly.

She is not a slow-witted person either.

"Woo..."

Seele felt she should find a hole to crawl into right now.

She could infiltrate a criminal gang's hideout undetected, but when the target was an ordinary girl like Mei, it felt as if all the tracking skills she had learned at Anti-Entropy had suddenly vanished from her mind.

"Come for a walk with me."

With a helpless sigh, Mei took the initiative to invite him.

Although she didn't understand what these kids were up to, she couldn't just leave them there unattended.

It's incredibly guilt-inducing to bully a delicate little girl like Seele.

Looking up, Seele met Mei's distant yet gentle gaze and nodded unconsciously, "Okay, okay."

Even if the process seems a little different, as long as I can hold Mei back and allow the other side of the operation to proceed smoothly, then I can consider it as completing the mission... right?

Thinking this, the girl felt even more ashamed.

At times like this, it would be so nice to have another one of her...

The little angel thought of the person who had always been by her side for the N+1th time.

As Mei led Seele through the garden path, looking at the blue-haired girl beside her whose face was filled with anxiety, she thought for a moment and then said, "You and Shihen are both from Anti-Entropy, right?"

"what?"

Seele gasped in surprise.

"There's no need to hide it, Shihen has already told me."

With one hand on the girl's shoulder, Mei spoke earnestly, as if she already knew everything.

"Well……"

With obvious hesitation on her face, Seele finally nodded slowly.

Since it was the captain's decision, she just needed to trust it.

Moreover, in the girl's heart, Mei is the child of high-ranking members of Anti-Entropy, and should be their companion.

Conversely, the fact that the other party is unaware of entropy reversal is something worth pondering.

"What kind of person was Shihen during the Anti-Entropy period?"

After a moment of contemplation, Mei chose to ask about topics related to the boy.

The other party had instructed me to try not to reveal Walter White's affair with Cocolia to more people.

Clearly, the majority of people here are referring to the three little ones.

"The captain is a very gentle and reliable person."

Mentioning the boy immediately eased Seele's anxiety, and she gradually opened up.

"Gentle? Reliable?"

Upon hearing these words, Mei's expression turned strange.

Well, if we ignore the fact that the other party always bullies her during Honkai energy control practice, the other party can indeed be considered reliable when the boy is arguing with the shrine maiden for her father's honor.

"Yes!" Seeing that Mei seemed to have some doubts, Seele quickly nodded, her expression becoming more serious. "The captain not only takes good care of us in our daily lives, but even when we encounter very powerful enemies in battle, he always protects us firmly behind him."

While accompanying the boy on missions, they suffered many minor injuries, but none of them had ever sustained serious injuries before.

"Fight? What are you fighting?"

When pressed for details, Mei's face became more serious.

"Honkai Beasts, zombies, and some criminal organizations that threaten public safety... basically all sorts of things." While counting on her fingers, Seele suddenly paused. "Didn't the captain mention any of this to you?"

The girl had a vague feeling that she might have said something she shouldn't have.

“Of course I mentioned it, but I didn’t explain it in detail,” Mei said without changing her expression, then asked, “Is fighting these enemies dangerous?”

"Hmm... other things are alright, but the Honkai Beasts are much more dangerous."

As she spoke, Seele kept stealing glances at Mei.

She suddenly felt a little panicked.
