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

When she learned that she was going to cut down an iron stake with a katana, everyone thought she was joking, and some even thought she had gone crazy from the shock.

"I will find out the cause as soon as possible."

Shihen nodded as well.

Anyway, the Mei cheat should arrive in three months at most.

According to the information he received, the Conquest Gem was already in Cocolia's hands.

It's just the third collapse...

People like Einstein simply didn't realize the true meaning behind the birth of the Lawgiver!

Watching the girl struggling to manipulate a ball of mercury into the shape of a marble, Shihen stroked his chin, lost in thought.

What Anti-Entropy truly wanted was only the Third Herrscher, and the accompanying Third Honkai... Einstein and the others never anticipated this.

Although in Shihen's eyes, it is common sense that the birth of a Herrscher is inevitably accompanied by the collapse of the sequence level.

However, in the eyes of the current leaders of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, these two are not actually the same.

After all, apart from the First Herrscher who was in an abnormal state, there was actually no phenomenon of a sharp increase in Honkai energy in the Tower of Babel where the Second Herrscher was born. The real deaths and injuries were caused entirely by the Herrscher of the Void herself.

Einstein and others clearly believed in Mei's compatibility with the Gem of Conquest, and that the girl could directly become a Herrscher without triggering the Honkai.

Unfortunately, reality is not like that.

In the original timeline, the Third Collapse arrived as scheduled, turning the entire Changkong City into ruins, with only one in ten thousand survivors.

This is a sin that all the top leaders of Anti-Entropy should bear together.

As he was thinking, seeing Mei's mercury marble fly a few centimeters away and then plunge back into the pool, Shihen flicked his fingertip and created a marble that flew out and shattered the last target in front of the girl.

The third game is over.

Seeing that there was nothing in front of her again, Mei pursed her lips, her face full of resentment.

"A bet's a bet, Miss Raiden wouldn't go back on her word, would she?"

Speaking softly, Shihen picked up the animal stickers placed to the side, hesitated for a few seconds, and then chose a small green turtle.

"Well……"

With her fists clenched on her lap, Mei's face showed obvious struggle.

But in the end, the girl gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, raised her head slightly, and adopted a posture of resignation.

"Relax, it will be quick, it won't hurt at all."

With a smile, Shihen comforted her, then quickly pressed his fingertip against the girl's forehead.

So, in addition to the little birds and fish on the sides of Mei's cheeks, she also got a little turtle on her head.

Yes, it's still green.

As the warmth of the boy's fingertips faded, the girl's eyes widened instantly, glaring at the black-haired boy with a fierce look that suggested he wanted to devour her.

Knowing she couldn't control Honkai energy, why didn't they go easy on her? How can there be such a wicked person in this world?!

“Appropriate shame can help stimulate potential,” Shihen explained, raising his hand to summon ten targets again. “In the fourth round, Miss Thunder goes first again, please.”

I hope Miss Raiden won't use up all the stickers I brought at once.

After all, these stickers are quite expensive.

Meiyi: "..."

Are your stickers made of gold? The money I give you each time could buy a whole house and still have some left over, okay?

One day, I will definitely cover your face with little animals too!

The girl made a silent vow in her heart.

Chapter 105 Praise and Smiles Go Hand in Hand

Evening, ME Company staff canteen.

"How was your first day at Chiba Academy? Are you adjusting well?"

Looking at the three little ones sitting in a row in front of him, Shihen smiled and asked, though his brows still showed a hint of weariness.

As the de facto guardian of the three girls, he naturally had to show them more care and concern.

"Is...is it alright..."

Seele glanced at Bronya beside her and whispered, her face showing obvious guilt.

In terms of actual academic ability, she didn't actually have a high school level of education; she couldn't understand anything the teacher said in class.

But from her observation, Bronya and Anne seemed to understand this.

If she tells the truth, she'll probably have to leave the high school.

Leaving Bronya's side and going to a completely unfamiliar place alone... the girl didn't want to face this.

"What's so great about it? It's so boring! I don't want to stay here even a day longer!"

Unlike Seele, Xing complained with a resentful expression.

She could understand high school level knowledge, but she didn't like the way the teachers taught.

Moreover, those so-called classmates were all incredibly boring. All they did all day was huddle together and discuss meaningless things, and they always liked to swarm her like flies, asking her all sorts of random questions.

“Ordinary people’s lives are just like that, mundane and boring. But if you are observant enough, you can still find some interesting things at school.” Shihen saw through Xing’s thoughts in an instant and said with a smile, “Besides, it was Ms. Cocolia who personally instructed that you go to school.”

All Cocolia needs to do is add a few more pages of information about Chiba Academy to the intelligence she receives, and then have the boy casually mention Seele's longing when witnessing school life while reporting on the three of them... and Cocolia will very willingly take the initiative to make this happen.

Often, manipulating someone's choices is that simple.

Of course, Cocolia's own thoughts are also very important.

If Shihen wanted to send the three little ones to the Destiny Headquarters instead of the Thousand Feather Academy, then Cocolia would have directly mobilized the mech army.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Kiana's scholarship was established last October, less than a month after Raiden Ryoma's accident.

Bishop Otto's keen insight and foresight are truly admirable.

So Shihen chose to take advantage of the bishop's generosity and let the three little ones also get some scholarships; otherwise, the tuition fees for just the three of them would have been enough to give Cocolia a headache for a long time.

"Hmph! It was clearly you who did this!"

With a disgruntled pout, Xing knew without even thinking that Shihen must have used some underhanded tactics.

“At least on the point of making your lives better, Ms. Cocolia and I are in agreement.”

Shihen smiled nonchalantly.

At least in Cocolia's eyes, his starting point was still the happiness of the three little ones.

Shaking his head, Shihen ignored the snarling, grimacing fish and turned his gaze to the gray-haired girl quietly eating beside him: "Bronya, how do you feel?"

Bronya swallowed the food in her mouth, looked up at the boy's dark eyes, and said, "That's interesting. We've already met Kiana Kaslana."

This is both an answer and a test.

"Really? What do you think of her?"

Shihen asked.

As the brains of the Seventh Squad, he naturally wouldn't overlook the name Kaslana at this moment.

"What does the captain think?"

There was no answer, Bronya countered with a question.

The boy is the captain of the seventh squad.

Moreover, she believed that she knew far less than Shihen.

"she is my friend."

He spoke softly, his tone incredibly firm.

At least according to Anti-Entropy's data, Siegfried Kaslana is not an enemy, so his daughter Kiana Kaslana naturally wouldn't be either.

As for the matter of the real and fake Kiana... even Cocolia knows nothing about it.

Therefore, apart from a few people who know the truth, the Kiana currently at Chiba Academy is the only and true Kiana Kaslana that the public knows.

"Then she will be our friend too."

Bronya nodded slightly.

In this matter, she was willing to trust Shihen's judgment, even though the white-haired girl bore the name of Anti-Entropy's number one enemy.

At this point, although the relationship between Destiny and Anti-Entropy isn't so bad that they'd have to fight to the death every time they meet, if the people on both sides want to sit down and have some tea...aren't you afraid the other side might poison your drinks?

Hmm... When Bronya ate that sandwich at noon, she did consider the possibility that Kiana had poisoned it.

But after thinking about it, the girl ultimately gave up on this guess.

The other party is an idiot; they wouldn't do something as technically sophisticated as poisoning.

Although the sandwich was as terrifying as poison.

"Bronya, Captain... what are you talking about?"

Seeing the two people with serious expressions, as if they were discussing something important, Seele was immediately dumbfounded.

Are you guys playing some kind of encrypted call game?

"It's nothing, Bronya and I were just talking about your new friends."

Shihen said with a smile.

Xi'er: "..."

Of course I know you're talking about Kiana, but the problem is I can't understand a word of it!

With a slight smile, Shihen didn't bother to explain in detail. He simply ate the food in front of him at a leisurely pace. After a pause, he said, "By the way, I think I'll be leaving for a few days. If you need to contact me, just send me an email, and I'll reply as soon as I see it."

"Huh? Why!?"

Xing was the first to ask.

Why do the three of us have to be good students at Senba Academy, while you can just run wild outside?!

"There are signs of Honkai Beasts appearing in the far northeast; I need to go check it out."

Shihen explained.

The Seventh Squad is an elite squad sent by headquarters to be stationed here, so naturally they can't just sit around doing nothing all day long.

In the entire Far East, the northeastern side falls under the jurisdiction of Anti-Entropy, while the southwestern side is the territory of the Far East Branch of Destiny.

Of course, this is just a vague distinction; the infiltration and counter-infiltration between the two organizations has never stopped.

Even national borders cannot completely separate two countries, let alone an agreement without even a document.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Seele couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What about us?"

Bronya asked, her gray eyes sparkling.

Compared to a boring place like Chiba Academy, she preferred the battlefield.

Furthermore, if there are Honkai Beasts, she can also pilot a mecha.

"I want to go too!"

Xing, realizing what was happening, immediately started shouting.

“You should stay here.” Ignoring the longing in their eyes, Shihen said calmly, “My main purpose in going there this time is to learn. The person who is truly in charge of the operation is a lieutenant general.”

Although the Far East is a small place, its level of civilization development is quite high, so Anti-Entropy certainly doesn't only have a few people here.

In fact, Anti-Entropy has deployed three mech legions in the Far East, totaling about 5,000 Titan mechs.

After all, this is the front line in the battle against the Destiny Organization.

"Is the situation serious?"
