I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Bronya quickly brought the three of them to their destination. They arrived at a ruin, but their main destination was not the ruin itself, but a huge factory outside the ruin.

That enormous factory was once a manufacturing facility for war machines and weapons, left behind by humans. During the extinction of humanity, these enormous factories were taken over by mechanical lifeforms. What Bronya and her companions are seeing now is one of the enormous weapons factories that have been taken over by mechanical lifeforms.

Sirin looked at the Titan mechs patrolling around the huge factory not far away. Well... although the Titan mechs in the Honkai world are supposed to be modern and angular, these Titan mechs are actually rounded-out Android robot-style Titan mechs, which look completely unthreatening.

"Ah...so cute!"

Ling, who was secretly observing, smiled as she looked at the rounded versions of the Titan mechs, while Bronya, standing to the side, stared speechlessly at the Titan mechs in the distance and said:

"What on earth is this Twelfth Herrscher doing...? Wasn't human civilization in this world destroyed by aliens? Why is the Twelfth Herrscher fighting against the network consciousness of mechanical lifeforms...?"

In fact, Bronya's idea is wrong. The Honkai will destroy not only human civilization, but also other civilizations.

Bronya frowned as she looked through her binoculars at the patrolling Titan mechs around her and said:

"The defenses are surprisingly tight..."

Celine, standing to the side, looked at the Titan mechs wandering around the massive factory with a proud expression and said:

"Hmph, no matter how tight the defenses are, I can use my imaginary number ability to teleport there. These are minor issues~"

Upon hearing Sirin's words, Bronya suddenly remembered that her aunt had the ability of imaginary numbers. Had she forgotten Sirin because she hadn't used her ability for so long?

Bronya stroked her chin, looked out at the enormous factory, and said:

"Hmm... Although Aunt Sirin's imaginary number ability can take us there, it's not really safe for us to go in directly right now."

After hearing Bronya's words, Sirin also looked puzzled and said:

"Huh? Why??"

Bell, standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and held up a finger with a sparkling expression, saying:

"You mean there are surveillance cameras inside that huge factory, right!?"

Upon hearing Bell's reply, Bronya nodded and said:

"Yes, that's right. A factory this big must have surveillance cameras or something. Besides, our purpose is not to cause damage, but to investigate. So there's no need for us to do anything that might alert them."

Chapter 482 [Infiltration, Not Unrivaled]

After hearing Bronya's words, Sirin spread her hands and looked at Bronya with a helpless expression, saying:

"Okay, if that's the case, how do we find those cameras?"

Bronya thought for a moment before replying to Sirin's question:

"Let me observe first; to be honest, I'm not entirely confident..."

Sirin rolled her eyes, looked at Bronya, sighed, and said:

"Alright, I'll go cook for you guys first. You can observe Bronya for now, and call me if you need any help."

With that, Sirin went inside the ruined building to start cooking. After Sirin left, Ling looked at Bronya and asked:

"Bronya, how do you plan to investigate the situation inside?"

Bronya touched her chin and said:

"Hmm... let's test the waters a little..."

As she spoke, Bronya projected a mechanical life form using her abilities. Of course, the mechanical life form that Bronya projected was different from ordinary mechanical life forms.

If ordinary mechanical lifeforms are like machines with self-awareness, then the mechanical lifeforms projected by Bronya using her Herrscher of Reason abilities are just ordinary remote-controlled robots.

Bell, standing to the side, touched the mechanical lifeform projected by Bronya and said:

"Bronya, are you planning to let this little guy sneak into that huge factory?"

Upon hearing Bell's words, Bronya also showed a somewhat subtle expression and said:

"Uh...more or less, probably..."

As she spoke, Bronya controlled the mechanical lifeform she projected to slowly move towards the huge factory, hopping and skipping along.

Then it was smashed into a pancake by the patrolling Titan mechs.

"!? Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"

Rin, who was observing from the side, was terrified when she saw Bronya's projected mechanical lifeform being smashed into a pancake. She shook Bronya's shoulder, her face filled with horror, and said:

Bronya has been smashed into a pancake!

Upon hearing Bell's words, Bronya, sweating profusely, replied:

"What do you mean I was smashed into a pancake?"

After Bronya said that, Rin immediately calmed down, then scratched her head sheepishly and said:

"Ahaha... a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue~"

Seeing the embarrassed look on Ling's face, Bronya sighed slightly, but she didn't care too much about the outcome.

Seeing Bronya's calm expression as she looked at the mechanical lifeform smashed into a pancake, Rin looked at Bronya with some curiosity and asked:

"Bronya, that mechanical lifeform has been smashed into a pancake. Do you want to project a new mechanical lifeform?"

Upon hearing Bell's words, Bronya shook her head and said:

"No, it's no longer needed."

"Eh?"

Bronya's answer surprised Rin. Rin was also very puzzled. Although she hadn't spent much time with Bronya and the others, Rin didn't think Bronya was the type to give up so easily. Why didn't she continue projecting the mechanical lifeforms to find loopholes?

Seeing the confusion in Rin's eyes, Bronya explained to her:

"Yes, don't worry, Bronya deliberately let the Titan mechs discover those mechanical lifeforms."

Rin looked completely bewildered by Bronya's words, as if she didn't quite understand what Bronya meant. Then Bronya showed Rin the tablet she was holding.

"This is......?"

Looking at the screen on Bronya's tablet, Rin could see the corpse of the mechanical lifeform Bronya had created being transported away.

Seeing this, Bell turned to Bronya and asked:

"It's simple, those Titan mechs are collecting the remains of mechanical lifeforms."

Hearing Bronya's words, Rin looked at Bronya with a puzzled expression and asked:

Why do they collect the remains of mechanical lifeforms?

Regarding Rin's question, Bronya offered her own explanation, speculating that the Twelfth Herrscher had no source of materials, so she collected mechanical lifeforms to create the Titan armor.

Upon hearing Bronya's explanation, Ling nodded in understanding. But what did this have to do with what Bronya was doing now?

The answer is simple: the mechanical lifeform projected by Bronya is made of Soul Steel. In fact, even if it were smashed into a pancake by those Titan mechs, it wouldn't lose contact with her.

After the Titan mech carried the mechanical lifeform it projected into the huge factory, Bronya breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the other party did not find anything wrong with the mechanical lifeform it projected, Bronya roughly understood that the other party's attention was not focused on this huge factory facility.

Well... this also makes it easier for me to hack into this facility.

..........................................................

In the massive manufacturing plant, Titan mechs, collecting the remains of mechanical lifeforms, toss the remains they hold into a waste pile overflowing with other mechanical lifeform debris.

After completing these tasks, the Titan turned and walked towards the door. As it left with heavy footsteps, a small camera peeked out from among the wreckage of mechanical lifeforms, surveying the surrounding environment.

Inside the ruins of the massive manufacturing plant, Bronya used a tablet to control a camera and observe the plant's interior.

Bronya then observed four cameras in the corner of the wall, and the flashing lights on the cameras indicated that they were still in operation.

"Sure enough, those cameras are still operational, so a direct assault is out of the question."

Rin, standing to the side, looked at the working cameras on the tablet and said:

"Those cameras are still working, Bronya, what are you going to do about it?"

"Hacked those cameras."

Hearing Bronya's words, Ling was stunned. Then she saw Bronya swipe a few times on the tablet, and in less than 30 seconds, Bronya snapped her fingers and said:

"It's done."

"????"

Bell looked at Bronya with a bewildered expression, as if she didn't understand why Bronya had resolved the issue with the cameras so quickly.

Chapter 483 [Genshin Impact Third Closed Beta is Out, But I'm Not Qualified]

After watching Bronya easily disable those cameras, Rin was dumbfounded. Although Rin wasn't quite sure how many steps it would take to hack a camera, she at least knew that a hacker couldn't possibly hack their own camera, right?

Bell looked at Bronya standing to the side and asked curiously:

"Bronya, that ability that just hacked the camera... is it a Herrscher of Reason's ability?"

"?"

Hearing Rin's question, a small question mark appeared above Bronya's head. Bronya looked at Rin with a puzzled expression and said:

"It's not the Herrscher of Reason's ability, but Bronya's own learning achievement."

Upon hearing Bronya's answer, Rin also showed a shocked expression. So young and already knows hacking techniques?!

Of course, if Rin knew that Bronya wasn't even a month old yet, she would definitely be shocked.

.............................................

Soon, after Bronya fixed the camera on the wall, she began to manipulate the Soul Steel that had become the remains of a mechanical life form. As the Soul Steel gradually deformed and gathered together, something resembling a mercury slime appeared in the massive factory.

With Bronya's control, the slime-like Soul Steel began to crawl towards the ventilation duct opening. After all, in such a huge factory, the ventilation duct was the place with the fewest cameras.

Bronya controlled the Soulsteel Slime as it moved through the ventilation ducts. Although it was in the form of a slime, the Soulsteel Slime was quite fast.

Bell looked at Bronya curiously and said:

"Bronya, what are you doing with this slime-like thing right now?"

Bronya, focused on controlling the Soul Steel Slime, explained to Rin:

"Bronya is currently looking for the monitoring room inside this huge factory."

"Find the security room?"

A few question marks appeared on Bell's little head as she looked at Bronya and asked:

Why would you need to find that monitoring room?
