The system handed me over to the state.

"Are we supposed to give up our current advantages? With our military strength, once our army arrives, crushing their pathetic defenses will be a piece of cake!"

"But before that, it could be the lives of all of us... Your Majesty, are you confident you can defeat that person?"

The Queen hesitated for a moment... and finally said impatiently, "I understand... evacuate! Begin evacuating all our deployments in the United States now... Once the world barrier dissipates, I will make them return everything!"

Chapter 245: Covert Operation

Confirmed, jpg

"Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed, this should be the teleportation device they were talking about..."

The team led Bronya to a mechanical device, but when Bronya saw the device, she froze, especially when she saw the scepter, her expression became somewhat strange.

He stepped forward and detached the scepter from the device. "The Marvel universe is indeed widely known. You can see Marvel's technology, magic, and mysterious artifacts everywhere."

"The Mind Stone... is also the scepter Loki used to control minds in Avengers 2. Tsk... it seems that the American contractors really did acquire a lot of good stuff before they died."

"Do you think we'll see the Time Stone, the Soul Stone, or the Space Stone next?"

The team members looked at each other, their detailed expressions hidden by the power armor helmets. Bronya shook her head. "Forget about that for now. Let's get back to our own business."

Is anyone else around?

"That's all, Number 0. There's no one else around. We've cleared out most of the people along the way. This area is full of people who have been possessed. Looking into their eyes sends chills down my spine."

The squad leader asked in a chilling tone, and Bronya nodded, "Destroy this device... Has President Morgan's location been confirmed?"

"It's been confirmed, President Morgan... you should check his condition for yourself."

A team member showed Bronya the terminal in his hand. After seeing it, Bronya gasped. The image of President Morgan on the screen looked as if he had been bound in some evil god's sacrificial ritual. The scene was bloody, and his death was extremely gruesome... various strange symbols and a scene so eerie it was almost supernatural. Bronya felt both anger and lingering fear. Was the Shadow Empire worshipping a chaotic evil god? This cruel and evil ritual... If President Morgan hadn't still had his head intact, Bronya might not have recognized him. A president who wanted to maintain good relations and cooperation with China had ended up like this...

"That's really... cruel... I should have just killed them... Tsk, I must have lost my mind and let them go."

Bronya is now filled with regret, deep regret. She should have killed those two guys right then and there. At a time like this, she absolutely cannot leave any hidden dangers, otherwise even more people will suffer from such evil god rituals, and even the people of Shenzhou.

Bronya frowned, then suddenly thought of something and said, "The plan has changed... From now on, we'll proceed according to this plan. This time, we're going to carry out a big operation. Now, everyone go and film everything here that's related to the Shadow Empire. Record all the footage; that will be the evidence."

"Understood, General."

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

"Hurry up and take everything with you!"

The Prime Minister ordered his subordinates to quickly move the items away from here. The other side had already warned them that the main army could not come here for the time being. Therefore, faced with the warning from the powerful enemy, they could only choose to retreat temporarily. The world barrier prevented the entry of the powerful empire, otherwise it would not have been the two of them who came.

Fortunately, something happened to the other party and they were temporarily spared, but that doesn't mean they will let them go once they come to their senses.

"Your Majesty, you should go ahead first. The passage is now open, and it will be safer for you to go through first."

"No rush, they can't possibly be back that quickly."

The Empress was very confident in her intuition, while the Prime Minister looked somewhat worried. At that moment, someone ran over and whispered, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, we have lost contact with the personnel in the teleportation device area. We can't reach them. All the people we sent there have disappeared and we can't contact them."

"Oh no, something's happened..."

The prime minister instinctively thought of the woman from earlier. If it was her... Oh no! That scepter is part of their crucial strategic plan; they cannot afford to...

Boom!

Before the Prime Minister could finish his thoughts, the entire hall suddenly began to shake violently. The Prime Minister immediately turned around, intending to push his Empress into the passage behind him, but the next moment, surging blue flames burst through the hall walls and rushed towards them. The terrifying flames instantly engulfed everyone inside the hall.

Meanwhile, in the outer area, a terrifying explosion startled every American citizen in the District of Columbia. They stared blankly as the area symbolizing their President's office transformed into a towering blue pillar of flame that shot directly into the sky.

Bronya looked at her masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction. This should be fine now. Although Bronya still wanted to use even greater power, she would feel it would be a pity if she hurt the pacifists in the outer area.

The internal situation in the United States still needs them to cause a big stir. If they all die here, who will stand up?

Therefore, Bronya used a force field to restrain the power of the bomb, causing the flames and power of the bomb to erupt only downwards and upwards like a chimney.

This is also the reason for the blue flame pillar that shot into the sky. With such power, those two guys, even if they didn't die, must have been seriously injured.

This move should be enough to completely subdue the Shadow Empire, and might even be able to kill the Empress and the Prime Minister, which would be the best outcome.

"All personnel, teleport back. Mission successfully completed!"

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

"Are you crazy! The commotion you've caused isn't just known within the US; even the space station in orbit could clearly see what happened!"

Old Yu sternly reprimanded Bronya, who pouted, "I just wanted to make up for my mistake... If this explosion can eliminate the Empress and Prime Minister of the Shadow Empire, we should have a great advantage next."

"But it's also possible that the other side will go completely mad and seek revenge against us. At that point, it won't be a simple battle between two armies or an ordinary war. It will be a relentless act of revenge! It might even drag our ordinary people into it!"

"But war has never involved the people... It's always been like this, especially abroad. How many bad things have they done to our people?"

Bronya's words silenced Lao Yu: "From the very beginning of war, there is no distinction between soldiers and people. The history of China and the painful lessons of the Celestial Empire both demonstrate this."

"Old Yu, I'm serious... If I could, I really want to drop a few nuclear bombs on the top of Area 11 right now."

"War...no one can stand aside, not even a small child or an infant."

Bronya's expression darkened. Old Yu rubbed his temples... and finally waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, that's enough about that. But Bronya, I'm warning you again: stick to the plan. Don't do anything out of line!"

Chapter 246: Bronya, meow~

Are you unhappy?

"Well....."

"You don't even want to talk anymore? Is it really that bad? It's just a scolding."

Hei hope looked at Bronya, who was clearly in a depressed state, and was a little confused. In her memory, Bronya was not this kind of person. It was just a small setback, how could she take it to heart?

"Hey, you're not really going to be this upset about such a small thing, are you?"

Hei hope grew impatient and shouted directly into Bronya's ear, "No! It's not about that, it's something else... I'm just... a little frustrated."

"depressed?"

"Hmm, I'm wondering if those two guys were actually completely killed by my blast."

Hei hope's expression froze. She recalled the details of the mission Bronya had told her earlier that day—about the empress and the prime minister. She had assumed Bronya was down because of the criticism she'd received from Lao Yu, but it turned out it was because of this...

Why are you so bothered by this?

“I think the best thing would be to blow them up. I suddenly remembered that when I was on a mission, I not only changed my equipment, but also slightly reconstructed my appearance. From my appearance, I looked like a US agent.”

"So those two guys probably thought I was a powerful U.S. agent. Even if I didn't kill them, but crippled them, they should still hate the U.S. because from beginning to end, they would think that this operation was carried out by the U.S., not China."

"Old Yu was just using this as an excuse to criticize me for making such a big fuss; actually, he was quite pleased with himself."

Bronya pouted, clearly not satisfied with Lao Yu's overt approach. Knowing that the other party couldn't possibly know that this operation was carried out by Shenzhou, why did he still say that it might involve the people of Shenzhou?

Moreover, the other party's prime minister hadn't even spoken to him directly. The high priest's description might have made the prime minister remember him, but it would be difficult for him to recognize him upon meeting him.

Most importantly, she changed her appearance and clothing for this mission. If she could still be recognized at first glance, Bronya felt there might be something wrong with this prime minister.

"Hei hope, do you think... that prime minister, without me using my abilities, could possibly recognize me?"

With no other option, Bronya could only turn to Black Seele for comfort. Black Seele reached out and stroked Bronya's head as if petting a kitten. Bronya squinted and smiled, saying, "Hmm... Seele hasn't seen her today. Where did she go?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bronya noticed that Blackie's eyes were slightly unfriendly, and the hand that was originally stroking her head gradually turned into a claw gripping her head.

"I'm here, kindly comforting you and caring for you, but you're thinking about her. Should I say you're heartless, promiscuous, or just carefree?"

Bronya just chuckled at the unfriendly tone in Heishi's words, expressing her goodwill towards Heishi. Finally, Heishi sighed helplessly, "You... how did I fall for someone like you?"

"This is my happiness. My love will only be for the two of you and our parents, nothing more."

"What if another 'Seele' appears later? Or... 'Bronya'? Would you fall in love with yourself?"

Bronya was caught off guard by the question from Black Seele. If another 'Seele' appears later... it's really hard to say...

"It's hard to say... I don't know if there will be any more 'Seele' in the future, but there will definitely be very few Seeles like you. After all, it's impossible for you to be a wanderer in our world every time, right?"

"Just like Bai hope also has her own Bronya sister who she likes, you must have your own Bronya sister in some world, just like us now."

Hei hope fell silent, pondered for a long time, and then sighed, "Maybe... perhaps in some world, I really do have a happy life that I never dared to dream of before..."

"Do you have any plans for today? If not, I'd like to go shopping with you."

Bronya smiled and said, "Great! The missions are almost all finished, so there shouldn't be any problems. Let's go shopping! Let's eat something delicious!"

However, no sooner had Bronya finished speaking than there was a knock on the door. Bronya and Black Seele looked up and asked, "Is that Seele?"

"It's not...an unfamiliar scent."

During her time at the base, Hei hope had become familiar with the auras of the soldiers, researchers, and other special individuals inside, but the auras of the people outside the door... were very unfamiliar.

"A stranger... Could he be a newcomer to the base?"

Bronya got up and went to the door. She opened it, and upon seeing who was outside, she froze. "You are...?"

"Hello, Ms. Bronya, we are reporters from China Central Television. This is my interview certificate and reporter's certificate."

The girl handed the certificate to Bronya. Bronya glanced at it, not caring whether it was real or not. After all, someone who could get in here must have had their identity verified and be safe. What puzzled Bronya was what the girl was here for.

"You're... planning to interview me?"

"The interview is just one part of the process. We have received orders from the Cabinet to produce a science documentary based on the existence of Institute No. 1, which will be broadcast on major television stations and the Internet. We believe that the most valuable interviewees in Institute No. 1 are you, Dr. Ji Chengtian, and General Yu."

"So...you're planning to interview me first?"

The girl in front of me smiled brightly. "Yes, I was wondering if you have a moment? We've prepared a few questions we'd like to ask you in detail, to get to where you are today and what your background is like. Is that alright?"

Bronya blinked, turned around and glanced at Blackie. Blackie was expressionless, but a hint of disappointment was clearly visible in her eyes.

Bronya turned to the girl in front of her and gave her the same bright smile, saying, "Sorry, I already have plans with my partner, so I don't have time today. Let's do it another day!"

Bronya then walked over to Blackie, grabbed her, and rushed out of the room, disappearing quickly from the girl's sight.

The girl blinked, then turned around in surprise and said, "She said...partner? Is that dark-haired girl her partner? This is big news!"
