The system handed me over to the state.

"Hmm... let's go to sleep."

Blackie was delighted by Bronya's completely unguarded attitude, so she reached out and wrapped her arms around Bronya's waist.

Bronya sensed it, but didn't move or say anything; instead, she continued to sleep with her eyes closed.

Seeing that Bronya didn't move, Hei hope hesitated for a moment, then decided to take it a step further. So she moved both hands down and one hand up. Just as Hei Xi's hand was about to touch the buttocks covered by the nightgown, Bronya suddenly opened her eyes.

In an instant, he flipped over and pinned Hei hope beneath him, supporting himself with his hands on either side of Hei hope's head, his light blue eyes fixed intently on Hei hope's ambiguous smile.

"Can't you just sleep peacefully?"

"But didn't Bronya say last night that she was going to have some fun with Seele? Seele came prepared this time!"

As she spoke, Hei hope unbuttoned the top of her nightgown, and Bronya's expression froze. Good heavens! The black and red lace "decisive" style—when did this girl buy it here!

"When...when did you buy it?"

Something's not right! She remembered that Seele's breasts weren't very big, so why are they so big now on Black Seele? Although not as big as hers, they're not bad either! And with this killer bra, oh no...

Bronya felt a little impulsive and her body shifted restlessly. This subtle movement was naturally noticed by Heishi, who reached out and cupped Bronya's slightly flushed face in her hands. "Of course I bought it secretly. You do whatever I ask you to do without any suspicion."

Bronya quickly remembered that when she and Hei hope were shopping last night, Hei hope said she wanted to eat roasted chicken wings, so she asked Bronya to buy them. However, the chicken wing shop was very slow, which caused a long delay. Could it have been during that time?

"Oh, it seems Bronya has already noticed. How about it? Want to try Seele's flavor?"

Blackie's eyes gradually became hazy, and her hands gently, so gently, guided Bronya to slowly lean down, wanting her to kiss her lips...

“That’s right, that’s it. You like Seele, you love Seele, so... give her the response she deserves, my dear... Bronya sister.”

Closer and closer, just as Hei hope revealed a triumphant smile, Bronya's eyes suddenly snapped back to reality. She immediately got up and rushed into the bathroom, then turned on the shower, letting the cold water quickly soak her nightgown.

As Blackie watched Bronya suddenly leave and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She silently put her pajamas back on and then stood in front of the glass door of the balcony.

After a while, Bronya, having dried herself off and changed into a nightgown, walked up behind Blackie. "Let's... talk."

"What shall we talk about?"

Blackie's tone was tinged with melancholy. Bronya tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Let's talk about feelings..."

Perhaps the original Bronya would have found it difficult to accept the love from her own sister, but she is different. She is not the pure Bronya; she has 20 years of life experience belonging to another person.

Without the system, she wouldn't be on the path she is now. She knows her love for the character Seele, and combined with Bronya's love for her sister, the two have transformed this love.

She knew very well that in the previous months, she had tried hard to suppress this feeling of love, but now she felt that her love was about to get out of control.

Bronya could imagine what would have happened if she had kissed Seele, having been deliberately led astray by Black Seele.

"It's a matter of feelings..."

Hei hope sighed, "It's actually quite simple, isn't it? The original Xi'er liked you, her older sister from the orphanage. That liking slowly turned into love. She didn't want to abandon you, didn't want to leave you, and even more so, didn't want to see you become like that..."

"But that's not me... You know very well that your real sister is in another world."

"Hei hope, are you treating me as a substitute for her?"

Hei hope's expression froze. She turned around and explained in a flustered manner, "I didn't! I... I just... How could I possibly treat you as a substitute?"

"If I end up with you, and she doesn't die, and she recovers, how will you face your other self and your original sister?"

Bronya raised her final question, which was about Black Hill's own problems.

If Black Hera really does end up with him, then what about White Hera? What about White Hera who didn't die in that world, and Bronya who is controlled by the Honkai?

Hei hope fell silent, her mind racing as she tried to find a solution that would satisfy both sides. Bronya sighed softly, "Let's continue this discussion once you've thought it through..."

Bronya got up to go back to her room and continue sleeping.

"I've made up my mind! I've already thought it through!"

Suddenly, Black Seele shouted, quickly walking up to Bronya, grabbing the collar of Bronya's nightgown, pulling the much taller Bronya down with her, a determined glint in her eyes, "I've...made up my mind. I am Seele, that's true, but I also have things I want."

"And you are exactly what I want!"

After saying that, Blackie stood on tiptoe and domineeringly hugged Bronya, kissing her. The stunned Bronya was quickly overtaken by Blackie.

But soon, Bronya seemed to give up thinking and took the initiative to pull Blackie into her arms, then hugged her tightly.

A few minutes later, their lips parted, and Black Seele's face flushed. She gripped Bronya's collar tightly. "Remember, you belong to me! You are mine, Seele's, not another Seele's!"

A smile flickered in Bronya's eyes as she bent down and, amidst Blackie's surprised exclamation, scooped her up in a princess carry. "Go to sleep, it's getting late."

"I hope... you're truly prepared to face them in the future, Seele."

Chapter 88: Blackie Wants to Become Human

The next morning, Bronya, still not fully awake, suddenly felt a soft touch on her lips. When she came to her senses, she saw Black Seele with a smiling and happy expression. She reached out and pinched Black Seele's cheek, rubbing it gently. "Tell me," she said, "what will you do after you return your body to Seele?"

"There's always a way when things reach the bridge!"

Black Seele gave a mumbled reply, and Bronya's face showed a hint of doting, "You...you're nothing like Seele. Are you really the same person?"

"no!"

However, Blackie's answer surprised Bronya.

“I used to think that I was another version of her, carrying all her dark side and all her negative emotions. I used to wonder if I was just her dumping ground? All the bad things were thrown at me, all the negative things gathered on me, even though I knew that she didn’t do it on purpose.”

Black Seele lay in Bronya's arms, twirling her long hair with her fingers as she continued, "Later, she accepted me, she liked me, and that's when I realized I wasn't a dumping ground, that she needed me too. Most importantly, she acknowledged me as Seele, that we are the same person."

Blackie gave Bronya a wicked smile. "Now, I have a completely new perspective."

“I am Seele, but I am not Seele. I should have my own life, my own interests and hobbies, and everything that a person should have, instead of being her nanny forever, or another personality. I should be... a completely new Seele, independent of her.”

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent?"

Seele blinked, and Bronya stroked Seele's forehead. "It's still the same question. How are you going to talk to Seele and the other me? Besides, the body you're using right now is Seele's original body. What will you do if you give the body back to her?"

This is one of the things that Bronya finds particularly puzzling. Black Seele was born from Seele, and because Seele exists, she exists. Rather than two personalities of the same person, Bronya feels that twins are more suitable for the state of Black Seele and White Seele. Most importantly, there are the stigmata on Seele's body.

Bronya reached out and gently stroked the stigmata on Seele's chest, while Black Seele placed her hand on Bronya's, feeling Bronya's hand gently caressing her chest.

"I have no idea..."

"You still did this even though I didn't know?"

"But I can't hide on your side forever and avoid facing the things I should face, can I?"

Hei hope sighed slightly, "I'll think of a way."

For once, Black Seele's face was devoid of that carefree smile. Instead, she earnestly emphasized to Bronya, "I am Seele, but not that Seele. I was born from her, but that doesn't mean I am her and must always be by her side."

“Children need to grow up. I have helped her a lot, and it’s time for me to think about my own things.”

Black Seele's thoughts were actually very realistic. As a shadow, everyone was attracted to Seele. People saw Seele's beautiful side: kind, lovely, caring and loving towards everyone, like an angel without any blemish.

As for herself, she was a collection of negative emotions, evil, and frightening. Even after Kiana and the others learned of her existence, they mostly warned and cautioned her. Although Bronya believed in herself, she remained wary of herself.

She never had everything that Seele had; she only had Seele.

The moment Seele was taken away, she felt her heart had died. At that moment, Bronya from another world appeared in front of her. She was more mature, both in personality and figure.

She is not afraid of herself, cares for herself, loves herself, does not reject herself, and even when faced with her own excessive teasing or provocation, or even excessive jokes, she simply laughs it off.

So if she had to choose, between the world where she had lived as Seele's shadow for decades and the world where she had lived as Seele for a few months, she would choose the latter.

Bronya, completely unaware that her gentleness and care for Black Seele had completely stolen her heart, was still pondering how to help Black Seele better resolve the conflict between her and Seele.

Furthermore... Bronya believes that, according to Black hope's description, that world has been destroyed, and among the remaining survivors, it's unlikely they could survive there. So, if White Xi, who didn't die, were brought to this world, perhaps the two wouldn't have to be separated? They might even be able to gain another Bronya?

The idea is good, but whether it can be realized remains to be seen.

In short... let's just look forward to the future.

Next, at Blackie's insistence, Bronya spent some quality time with her before getting out of bed. She checked the time and realized it was already 10 o'clock. While marveling at the terrifying charm of this bad girl, Blackie, she pondered her plans for the day.

"Shall we continue the hunt today?"

Without any intention of wearing casual clothes, but instead directly using her black knight armor, Blackish walked up to Bronya and asked her a question. Bronya was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then pressed the bracelet on her wrist. Nanomaterials immediately began to emerge from under the bracelet and covered Bronya's body. Dozens of seconds later, the combat suit appeared on Bronya's body.

After stretching a bit and making some minor adjustments to the combat suit she had just put on, Bronya nodded. "Pretty much. The plan remains the same, but we need to be careful. Today's target is Brandon. I'm certain he's not as strong as us, but I can't rule out the possibility that he's holding back."

Therefore... it's best to be cautious in everything.

Bronya still felt somewhat uneasy. According to Brandon's information, his ability was registered as lightning, which could be understood as the lightning power of Thor, the God of Thunder. Well, it's lightning, not Thor.

Is it possible for a contractor to have only one ability?

Brandon definitely possesses special abilities he hasn't yet revealed. If he and Seele act rashly, they might not only fail to complete the hunt, but they might also be turned on... wait? He seems to have the ability to create things from the void; being killed in a counterattack is impossible...

Going up against the Avengers might be a bit troublesome... but... why not just wipe out all the superheroes here? Anyway, the future of this universe is already set, so what trouble I cause now doesn't matter, right?

Bronya clenched her fist and slammed it into her palm. Yes! That's right, that's what she did!

"By the way, Seele, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"Oh? Is it... something interesting?"

Bronya smiled. "That's right, it's very interesting. Would you like to make your armor and weapons even more powerful?"

Chapters 8 and 9: The Edge of a New World

"Location confirmed? Confirmed. Prepare to enter, Captain!"

"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

As the door was broken down, Captain America rushed into the room with his shield, only to be stunned when he found the room empty.

"Brandon... there's no one here."

Captain America was puzzled after carefully searching the room and finding no one. He was home last night, so why was no one there this morning?

"Nobody? Impossible, Captain. We haven't seen her leave her home at all. There can't be nobody here."

Captain America reluctantly repeated what he had seen. This time, not only Brandon but also Natasha was quite puzzled. Just as the three were confused, a sudden exclamation came from the street.

Captain America immediately went to the window and looked outside. He saw passersby screaming in terror on both sides of the street. "Natasha, what happened?"

"I don't know, Captain. I'm investigating now and will have the results soon!"

Back at the base, Natasha was frantically checking nearby cameras to try and find out what had happened, but at that moment, Brandon sensed something unusual. He perceived that some unknown energy had erupted in the city center, and it was an extremely rapid eruption.
