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

Hopefully, Anti-Entropy can add his ace mech to daily gameplay as soon as possible.

The boy always felt that Duck had a rebellious streak.

If he waits until the other party develops, he'll have to be careful even if he wants to joke with Seele, for fear that she might kill him at the slightest provocation.

After all, DuckDuck has a poker face; it's hard to discern any emotion from that expressionless face.

"Ok."

Nodding slightly, Seele attempted to contact Bronya and the other girl.

Soon, the communication was connected.

"Seele? Have you found the mission target over there?"

Bronya's voice came through the channel.

"Yes, we have located the target in area A5."

Seele answered softly.

"Be careful, I'll be right there."

Bronya gave a reply, and the communication was immediately disconnected.

"Let's just wait here for now; the transaction inside will take a while."

While keeping an eye on the movements on the other side, Shihen spoke to the girl.

"OK, all right."

Faced with such a request, Seele naturally wouldn't object.

Leaning the sickle against the container behind her to save some energy, the girl took deep breaths to calm herself.

"Don't be nervous, have confidence in your abilities."

Smiling at the girl, Shihen softly encouraged her.

Seele actually has great potential.

However, the girl herself was timid and lacked self-confidence, which prevented her from fully developing her talents.

If it were the other personality, they could easily beat Shihen in his current identity.

Moreover, given the despicable nature of the other person's personality, they are actually capable of doing such a thing.

So, should I strengthen the seal?

Shihen couldn't help but think.

"Good, good."

She was suddenly interrupted while trying to calm herself down, and a hint of panic appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, you're my teammate," Shihen said softly, stroking the girl's head with one hand. "No matter what happens, I will protect you."

This is my duty.

"Um……"

Softly moaning, feeling the heat emanating from above her head, Seele suddenly felt dizzy.

She's such a shy child.

Seeing the girl's face turn completely red, Shihen smiled inwardly and withdrew his hand.

Of the three girls, Bronya is expressionless, Ann is a brat, and only Seele is somewhat interesting.

Looking up at the starry night sky, Shihen's mood instantly brightened.

Indeed, people live for Seele.

As for Kiana, who's far away on the other side of the ocean... I'm tired of her, let's talk about her next time we meet.

Without keeping Shihen and the other person waiting any longer, Bronya quickly arrived from the other side.

"Bronya, my sister!" Seele called out happily in a low voice when she saw the girl appear, but then a look of confusion appeared on her face. "Where's Xing?"

Only Bronya arrived, and she looked rather disheveled, as if she had been in a fight with someone.

"...Apricot fell into the sea."

Bronya pursed her lips and said expressionlessly.

"what?"

Seele couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

It's fortunate that this place is quite far from those men in black, otherwise Seele would have been discovered much earlier.

"Xing got her clothes wet, so she decided to go home alone first."

Bronya then explained.

"really?"

Shihen raised questions.

Do you think we're having a PE class? You think we can just go home and change our clothes when they get wet?

"real."

Bronya said calmly, her expressionless face revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Once their mission is over, Xing will naturally appear at the Anti-Entropy headquarters.

As for now... let's let that guy who can't control his emotions calm down in the container for a while.

Even without Xing's power, or even if she were all alone, she could still complete the mission.

The silver wolves of the Urals have always roamed alone in the snow.

“Bronya, you still don’t understand what I’m saying.” Shihen sighed deeply. “The so-called team is to bring together the strength of everyone.”

Going it alone is pointless; you'll always encounter enemies you can't defeat on your own.

"Bronya can take care of the enemy."

The gray-haired girl spoke calmly, her voice filled with strong confidence.

She didn't think she had done anything wrong.

"..."

Shihen couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Duck is a real troublemaker these days.

Perhaps it was her experience as a mercenary in her youth that fostered the girl's unconventional personality, or perhaps it was her gradually developing talents that boosted her confidence. At this point, Bronya could no longer be described simply as arrogant.

In terms of arrogance, she was even more arrogant than Xing.

Because the girl didn't even realize that her behavior was arrogant.

"Time is of the essence now, we can talk about lessons later." Shihen sighed helplessly. "I only have one question, is Xing alright?"

"No."

Bronya answered calmly.

"alright."

Shihen could only put the matter aside for the time being.

If we delay any longer, the men in black on the other side will be on their way to escape.

Bronya has one more request.

The girl raised her head and looked directly into the boy's eyes as she spoke.

"what's up?"

Time Trace asked.

"In this mission, Bronya hopes that you, Captain, can capture them alive if possible."

Bronya said expressionlessly.

"why?"

Shihen's lips curled slightly as he asked with a smile.

The heinous nature of reselling Honkai energy weapons is far beyond what ordinary arms dealers can match.

For example, the most serious misuse of Honkai energy weapons in history should be the Destiny's Eastern Expedition five hundred years ago.

If it weren't for Immortal Fu Hua's timely intervention, a massive collapse could have wiped out both Destiny and the Ming Empire.

If it were ordinary weaponry, no matter how much you sold, Anti-Entropy wouldn't intervene.

But once it comes to Honkai energy weapons... well, then just wait for Anti-Entropy's righteous punishment.

In the eyes of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, the abuse of Honkai energy weapons is something far more evil than the drug trade and must be eradicated.

Therefore, the two organizations have never cared about the life or death of any criminal gangs that dare to venture into this field.

If the other person is still alive after it's over, then take them to mine.

If the other party unfortunately dies, they should be cremated and returned to nature, and Shihen and others will not have to bear any responsibility.

Because if the misuse of Honkai energy weapons causes a Honkai disaster, the death toll can easily soar to over four figures.

The lives of a few scoundrels versus the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people—if you hesitate for even half a second, you are disrespecting the latter.

"..."

But Bronya remained silent, her gray eyes fixed on the boy.

Shihen's gaze swept subtly over the bewildered blue-haired girl beside him, and he immediately understood.

Because the girl was terrified of bloodshed when she was young, Bronya has remembered it to this day and has always tried to keep Seele away from killing and violence.

This must be true love.

With a sigh in his heart, Shihen nodded and said, "I can agree to your request."

But I also hope you remember that your lives are far more important to me than those scumbags.

Therefore, when it's time to incapacitate the enemy, don't hesitate.

Even without taking the enemy's life, there are countless ways to paralyze them.

Being too merciful to the enemy is tantamount to being cruel to oneself and one's comrades.

Even though Bronya and Seele are only thirteen years old this year, this is a lesson that girls must understand.

This world has never been kind.

With a sigh, Shihen drew the thermal sword from his back and slowly stepped out of the shadows where he had been hiding.

"Now, the battle begins."

Chapter 77 Beginner Quest in Progress

Beside a small mountain of shipping containers, two men in black, carrying rifles, scanned their surroundings warily while chatting idly.

"I said, isn't this order taking a bit too long?"

The person on the left complained.

"Really? Isn't it usually around this time?"

The person on the right answered in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"No, it used to take seven or eight minutes, but this time it's taken almost ten minutes."

Raising his wrist, the man on the left glanced at his watch in the dim light of the dock's streetlights and spoke with certainty.

But the person on the right was no longer able to give an answer.

“Ferguson? You…”

Just as he was wondering, the man in black on the left turned his head and saw a scythe rapidly enlarging in front of him, and then his consciousness was cut off.
