One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Okay, Pado, Bronya takes this. I'm not going to eat it anyway, so just keep it as a collection." Putting the instant noodles aside, Bronya continued to select items.

Soon, Bronya picked out a paintbrush that looked like it had been used for a while. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be something that little Gray repaired, right?"

"This... I remember Can-Tang found it in the corner. I also looked for Grace, but she already had a new pen."

Padu explained to Bronya. In addition, little Grace also liked Padu very much and drew a picture for her - it was a symbol of their friendship!

"Bronya wants this too."

Although she could get it from Grace as well, Bronya thought about it and decided not to.

Then, Bronya continued to select and even saw laboratory equipment inside. "Little Padu, you are quite brave. You actually dare to go to Dr. Mebius to buy goods?"

!!!

Padu shuddered and immediately hugged Bronya, and the huge crowd pressed down on her, "Sister Bronya, you won't tell Sister Snake, right?"

"So, where do you get the courage, Pado..." Bronya rubbed Pado's little head and said softly.

"..."

After a brief pause, Padu suddenly hugged Bronya tightly, then pointed to the cans not far away and said, "They are all cans. They are what it brought back!"

"Meow?"

Can was licking a cat's paw when it suddenly pulled on it. As an emperor-level Honkai beast, it certainly understood and showed its claws to Padu.

Seeing this, Paduo was not to be outdone and also showed her claws. She had originally fused with the genes of the can, so her strength was not weak.

"Okay Paddo, stop acting. Bronya won't tell the Doctor."

Bronya comforted Padu, then glanced at Cantou, her tone slightly colder, "And you too, Cantou, it's enough to have come to this."

Cantou meowed softly, obediently put away his posture, and licked his paws slowly as before.

Seeing this, Bronya retracted her gaze and turned to look at Padu beside her, "So, Padu, can you tell me about these goods? I have to know what they are, right?"

"Okay, Sister Bronya!"

Not everything is easy to identify and clearly identify who it belongs to. This is when Padu needs to introduce it, "This is Ah Mo... and this is..."

They were mostly small items, but out of nostalgia, Bronya accepted them. However, she asked, "Pado, don't you have a token from Qianjie?"

"Brother Jie~"

They all have a lot of hair and are weak to fire, and Paduo is similar. Although after spending time together in the sanatorium, Qianjie is not that... well, she is indeed more irritable, she is still a little weak.

"...Okay, then let's do this."

Looking at Paduo's expression, it's clear that there's no hope. If she wants to collect Brother Jie's mask, she has to do it herself.

Finally, there is one more item that has been kept in the bottom of the box: after reading the plot, Weiwei found it interesting and specially reproduced it, and then it was passed to Paduo.

Of course, it could also be that Weiliwei deliberately designed it. After all... she is Weiliwei~

——That’s a pink trumpet!

159. Cut off the fate!

As Velvet's assistant, Bronya certainly understood her design style. She picked up the small speaker and fiddled with it for a while... The whole device suddenly became quantized and eventually turned into a pink pendant.

“Interesting and thoughtful design.”

In just a moment, Bronya realized that reality was not a paradise on earth. Data could be transformed, so quantization was used as an alternative.

She could already imagine: Alicia secretly took out a small loudspeaker with her hands behind her back to record each piece of black history, and then spread it.

"Pado, include this in the count."

Bronya tossed the delicate pink pendant in her hand, showed it to Padu and said with a chuckle.

In this way, Alicia got her beloved trumpet and stirred up a storm among the Fire Moths. Soon, "victims" appeared one after another.

But it was Alicia after all, and it was just some harmless little jokes, which were well controlled.

That's why, although they were a little troubled, they didn't do anything in the end and just let it go.

"Long time no see, Bai Ye~"

A pink figure stopped Bai Ye. Alicia looked at him with a smile, her tone still full of energy as always, "Let me guess~ Are you thinking about me?"

"Correction, it's only been three days since we last met. Also, please show your hands. It's not good to secretly record you."

"Eh hey?! Is this how Bai Ye sees me?" Alicia looked hurt, but it was a pity that her fake crying was not good enough, so it still lacked some meaning.

Seeing Bai Ye didn't react, Alicia also put away her expression and regained her vitality, "Really, seeing a cute girl crying, you don't even react at all~"

"But you don't act with all your heart, how can I cooperate with you?" Bai Ye spread his hands towards Alicia, speaking casually.

"Then you should at least show that... well, that sense of surprise. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"...Is only three days considered a long time?"

"Why not? They say a day without seeing you feels like three autumns. We haven't seen each other for three days, which translates to nine autumns, or nine months!"

???

Good boy, you used this sentence like this? Bai Ye couldn't help but have a lot of question marks on his head, "Uh, okay, so Alicia, what do you want to do?"

"Can't I come to see you if I'm fine? Or does Bai Ye not really want to see me?" (sob.jpg)

"Okay, Alicia, the doctor is looking for me, why don't you go find Bronya?" There was no other way, Bai Ye was really busy, he didn't even have time to accompany Seele!

"is that so--?"

Alicia moved closer to Bai Ye, and her pink eyes, as delicate as gemstones, met his eyes. "I'm not lying~"

"Of course. After all, why would I want to deceive a girl as gorgeous as a flying flower?"

As a price... or a reward, Bronya accompanied Alicia for an entire afternoon, meeting little Grayshu, Eden, Aponia... and many other friends.

……

Gray Snake's plan was still put aside. Mebius was busy dealing with the next Thousand Herrscher and couldn't spare any attention for the time being.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the base changed quietly and began to become depressing.

As the collapse is approaching, not everyone can maintain their mentality, and some people's overly negative mentality makes it easy for the collapse to take advantage of them.

After working overtime until late at night again, Dr. Mei temporarily finished his work and walked alone on the way back to the dormitory.

The Fire Moths have no shortage of energy. The base is brightly lit, and there are no dark corridors. But... just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean it can't be artificially created.

Suddenly, there seemed to be something wrong with the lights in the corridor. They suddenly flickered on and off, and finally went out suddenly.

A flash of lightning lit up in the dark corridor, illuminating Dr. Mei's face as the only source of light, and the attacker was reflected in his thin-framed glasses.

"Bang bang—"

With a dull sound, the lightning flickered, dimly illuminating what was happening in the corridor. Only a moment later, there was no more movement in the darkness.

At the end of the corridor, the lights that were still intact illuminated the corridor, and a very regular sound of footsteps came from the depths of the darkness - Dr. Mei slowly walked out, dragging the Thousand Herrscher.

The current Dr. Mei isn't the powerless character from the original story... doesn't that seem out of place? In the original story, Dr. Mei donned the Blank Key and single-handedly wiped out a thousand Herrschers!

On this side, thanks to Bai Ye's intervention, the blank key was still developed, but as for Dr. Mei...

——Humans have their limits. Bai Ye didn't want the other party to collapse in the command room again, so he forcibly dragged him to undergo fusion surgery!

And the result is obvious: he was attacked by a thousand Herrschers and was dealt with by Dr. Mei alone.

This isn't surprising. The Thousand Herrschers are already weak, but Dr. Mei, as a fusion warrior, is quite capable. Add to that the increasing popularity of quantum equipment... hehe~

Immediately afterwards, Dr. Mei turned back to the command room and quickly sent an urgent message to everyone's communicator:

The Tenth Herrscher has arrived, confirmed to be the "Thousand Herrschers"! It's estimated there will be a thousand of them. The good news is that their combat power fluctuates greatly, and they're generally still quite weak...

!!!

"What? The Herrscher appears!"

In a matter of moments, the night's tranquility was shattered. The fusion warriors immediately rose, quickly donning their equipment and gathering, ready for action! However...some quietly departed.

"Is everyone here?"

As one of the strongest fighters, Kevin had a cold expression on his face and asked the adjutant beside him indifferently.

"No, someone is missing. Stan, Ryan, Victor... and Imer!"

The adjutant read out the names one by one, his expression slightly grim. These were all fusion warriors, not weak in combat power, and the last one, Imer, was a top-tier fighter.

"Action! We must capture him as quickly as possible! Also, if conditions permit, try to capture him alive."

After giving the order, Kevin picked up the Skyfire Greatsword and began to track the Herrscher with the assistance of Dr. Mei.

And the other side:

"Klein, do you feel any discomfort?"

In the laboratory, Mebius changed his usual tone and asked Klein seriously, while monitoring the Honkai energy level.

"Doctor, what happened?"

Still with that familiar, listless tone, Klein seemed to be fine. Her Honkai energy hadn't changed either—she was still herself.

Bronya wasn't idle. With the help of fate and a little bit of luck, she finally saw the thread! Then, one night, she found Klein.

"The Secret Sword of the End: Chasing Shadows! It's no wonder I let Bai Ye experience this firsthand. This sword technique, anchored in cause and effect, certainly touches upon fate."

As she spoke, Bronya summoned the Heavy Armored Bunny, which transformed into a dark blue blade, shining with the glow of Houkai energy.

"—!"

A silent and unobstructed strike, the Winged Sword! Although it could no longer overturn the laws of physics, it could still contain the excess power and muffle the sound.

In Bronya's eyes, the silk thread wrapped around Klein suddenly broke apart! However, after only a moment, the thread extended downwards again.

"Is it really not possible? Fortunately, I anticipated this." With that, Bronya raised her blade and entangled the thread, accepting Klein's fate...

160. Efficient Suppression

Except for a very small number, the strength of the Thousand Herrschers was generally weak. But it didn't matter. They were scattered among the crowd and difficult to find, and they began to disrupt the existing order in secret.

But well...

A dark blue figure gradually solidified and stopped a small team in a corridor. "Sorry, this road is blocked."

"Bai Ye! What do you want to do?"

As the temporary captain, Hank stood up and questioned Bai Ye. Thousands of Herrschers were scattered across the base. Why would anyone interfere with them at such a critical moment?

Although they knew they were no match for the opponent, they were still on guard involuntarily. Their dominant hands were already on the weapons at their waists, and the tissues of the Honkai beasts appeared on their bodies.

"..., your name is Hank, right?"

Bai Ye found the other person familiar and soon found out his personal information from Bronya. He waved at her and said, "Don't worry, I'm not looking for you."

As he spoke, Bai Ye arrived at the back of the team in a quantum flash, and stretched out his hand to put it on an inconspicuous team member. "Although some of them escaped, it seems that not all of them escaped..."

"Am I right, Ruler of the Thousand~" Bai Ye grabbed the other person's hand and exerted force suddenly, pressing the other person down in the aisle.

!!!

After hearing what Bai Ye said, the group immediately became alert and distanced themselves from the man. They did not act rashly, but waited on the sidelines to see how the situation developed.

"what--!"

The Herrscher of the Thousands cried out in pain, but still pretended to resist. "Bai Ye, what do you want to do? This is the Fire Moth, and you can't control everything with one hand!"

"It's quite convincing."

Bai Ye didn't explain anything about this. He didn't have that much time to waste. He knocked him to the ground with one move. "Since I dared to take action, of course I have confirmed his identity."

"Hank, come here! I'm leaving this guy to you. We'll see if Dr. Mei can save him later."

But the Thousand Herrscher's disguise was too good. The other members of the team looked at each other and couldn't tell the real from the fake for a moment, so they hesitated.

Seeing that the other party still didn't come over, Bai Ye couldn't help but emphasize his tone, "Hank, this is an order!"

"But Imer and the others..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
