The system handed me over to the state.

Hei hope's expression froze for a moment. "But... even so, you can foresee the future in such a short time? This isn't just simple modern technology. Can a Herrscher's ability allow you to analyze technologies that surpass our current level of civilization?"

Bronya turned her head. "How will we know if we don't try? Besides, we don't know if psionic energy is applicable to the people of China or to humans on Earth, so it would be perfect if I were to be the pioneer."

"You really are... setting a good example..."

Bronya turned her head and said seriously, "Do you remember what Tong Xi said? Contractors are guides, this is just what I should do."

Bronya's Heavy Bunny appeared from behind her and joined in the analysis of psionic technology. Bronya was unsure whether she possessed psionic potential. If she could develop psionic abilities through these methods, it would undoubtedly be a great help to her besides her Herrscher powers.

Moreover, if I could develop my psionic abilities to the level 12 that are as powerful as the Queen of Blades, then I would truly have nothing to fear.

Looking at Bronya and Heavy Bunny, who were in the process of analyzing, Blackie sighed. Actually, she didn't want Bronya to work so hard... She wanted Bronya to rest more... to do something else, or... to stay with her, but she was very clear about the responsibilities she bore.

"It's really... a bit frustrating..."

After a moment of reflection, Hei hope realized one thing: Bronya would inevitably become stronger and stronger, and she had to find a way to keep up with her.

So she turned her gaze to the head of the Mind Technology department, who had been looking tense, and asked, "You're the head, right?"

"Yes, Miss Seele..."

"Do you think... I can develop psychic abilities?"

.........

Bronya and Heavy Bunny's analysis lasted for nearly three days. During those three days, she and Heavy Bunny stayed in the Mind Technology Department without leaving, and Blackie stayed by their side the whole time.

On the other side, Lao Yu conducted a more detailed investigation into the family backgrounds and ancestral identities of the 20 people, but found nothing unusual, unlike the previous investigations. So he sent the 20 people into the deep mountains of Qinling. Everything was proceeding according to plan.

"It's not over yet..."

Hei hope opened her eyes, a hint of purple flashing within them. In an instant, the aluminum can in front of her transformed into a thin sheet of metal. The researchers beside her immediately applauded and began recording data. The person in charge exclaimed excitedly, "Success! Miss Xi'er! Your awakened psychic ability is a kind of telekinetic control over objects!"

Hei hope continued to control the thin metal sheet, her brow furrowed. "Isn't there anything stronger?"

The person in charge standing to the side couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "This... is already very impressive. None of our five volunteers with potential for psychic abilities can do this. Let alone flattening a soda can, they would have great difficulty even controlling objects."

“We suspect that this is different from the radical development techniques Yuri used, as recorded in our documents. The psychic beings we train must undergo extensive training and development to become powerful.”

"Therefore, we are considering using psychic abilities as a prerequisite for the development of psychic powers."

Hei hope nodded. "So, can I develop psionic abilities now?"

The person in charge immediately shook his head, "I'm sorry, Miss Seele, we can't do it. We are currently... completely incapable of developing psionic energy. Just understanding the content is already very difficult. This is not our era... or rather, this is not a technology that we can currently master."

Blackie frowned deeply. No, she would soon be left behind by Bronya if things continued this way... No, she had to find another way.

At this moment, Hei hope remembered something... Dr. Ji Chengtian seemed to have a genetic blood relative who could enhance the body. Should they give it a try? Since they couldn't continue advancing on the psionic side for the time being, what about physical strength?

Meanwhile, Bronya, who was analyzing psionic technology, kept trying to use the information on herself. The information contained a lot of obscure language that she could not understand, but fortunately, the Herrscher's ability subconsciously gave her some correct guidance, and she felt that she was about to succeed.

Chapter 164: The Black Serpent

Where is this place?

Bronya looked around at the space she found herself in—a strange, black space. She remembered... wasn't she analyzing data related to psionic technology? How did she suddenly end up here?

Suddenly, the dark space around her began to churn. Bronya didn't even flinch. The next moment, as she looked at the churning blackness before her, it was as if she had opened her own eyes, revealing a pair of brilliant golden snake eyes.

The next second, Bronya was jolted awake, and at the same time, the analysis of psionic technology was completely completed.

Bronya was still recalling the snake eyes she had just seen. Snake eyes... could it be related to snakes? But if it was related to snakes, what did that have to do with the answer she wanted to get?

Bronya couldn't immediately figure out the reason for the problem, but after sensing the surging psionic energy within her body, she determined that, according to the data, it was around level 5, close to that of a ghost agent using a psionic suppressor, but not yet caught up.

After all, it is newly born spiritual energy. The Herrschers became stronger because of the Herrscher Core and the Honkai Will. Therefore, as a native spiritual energy, she could not make spiritual energy become incredibly powerful the moment it appeared.

However, Bronya was confident that she could raise her psionic power to level 8 within the next month.

"You're finally awake."

A helpless voice came from the side. Bronya had just turned around when a white metallic object flew out of thin air and headed straight for her face. The next moment, invisible psionic energy surged out and blocked the white metallic object. Bronya glanced at the white metallic sphere in front of her out of the corner of her eye and asked in confusion, "Is this how you welcome me?"

"I just wanted to test the extent of your psionic abilities, what level you are?"

Level 5.

"So low?"

Blackie looked surprised, and Bronya shrugged. "Come on, even Kerrigan didn't jump straight to level 12 when she first developed psionic powers. And I'm not a Protoss. Aren't you overestimating me?"

"I thought you were really good."

Hei hope muttered, "By the way, General Yu wants to see you. He said he wants you to come over as soon as you wake up. Apparently, there's been a problem with some kind of wilderness survival training."

Bronya's gaze sharpened. "Aren't you worried about her?"

".....have no idea."

Yes, Hei hope didn't know that her feelings towards this other self in another world were actually quite complicated, because even now, she still didn't know how she should face this other self.

Moreover, based on her own observations, this other Seele actually has more of the personality of White Seele, while the personality of Black Seele may not have been brought out yet, or it may not exist at all.

Furthermore, she was also very concerned about the other party's Stigmata. Since this world had not collapsed, there should be no Stigmata, but Seele had them. This was why Black Seele dared not make direct contact with her; she was afraid something bad would happen.

After all, they still know too little about Stigmata, and if they accidentally activate another Seele's Stigmata, it would be a huge problem.

"Anyway, go and take care of your business first. We'll resolve our little problem later."

Hei hope tried to distract Bronya, and succeeded. "Yeah, that's right. The important thing now is to deal with that hidden threat."

So Bronya pulled Blackie back to the command room. The moment they entered, Old Yu turned around and said, "It seems you were right. There is indeed at least one problem among the 20 people."

What happened?

Bronya stepped forward. Was it true? And those snake eyes she had seen earlier meant that the other person might be related to snakes. Snakes are creatures that excel at stealth. The fact that the other person could hide so perfectly among 20 people meant that they couldn't have appeared out of thin air or had a fabricated identity and background.

Because the background checks at the base are very strict, they trace one's ancestral history. Fabricated backgrounds have many loopholes, and once you are involved with foreign countries, whether you have studied abroad or lived there, you will be excluded immediately.

It's not that we don't trust international students, but rather that we want to eliminate all possible unforeseen factors.

But now... something's happened, and the investigation results show no problems, so Bronya has to consider... the possibility of possession.

After all, with such an absurd existence as Contractors appearing, it's not impossible for one or two people with the ability to possess another body to emerge, is it?

"What happened was very sudden. I followed your suggestion and increased the number of troops stationed near the wilderness survival area to prevent accidents, and at the same time increased the monitoring efforts, but the accident still happened."

"Just the day before yesterday, all the monitoring equipment and drones in the area stopped working at the same time, and all drone signals were lost instantly."

"At the same time, our garrison stronghold was attacked by an unknown entity. According to the descriptions of the surviving soldiers, what attacked them was a kind of black, shadow-like energy, as well as an attack from snakes composed of pure black liquid energy."

"They tried to retaliate, and live ammunition was very effective against those strange beings, but they seemed endless, so the defenders realized the problem was short-lived and had to retreat immediately."

"However, during the retreat, the defending forces also split into two teams. During the retreat, one team left the transport plane and is now following the signal from the life monitoring device to the target location of 20 people to carry out a rescue operation."

"The other team went to a nearby signal station to send us relevant information and is now waiting for orders."

As expected... the black shadow represented the black energy he had anticipated, and the snake was those bright golden snake eyes.

"Your warning was helpful. We can now confirm that we have dispatched an emergency response team there. And the good news is that all 20 people are alive and in good health. The rescue team that left midway has rescued 5 children at a temporary base, and we are still searching for 15 more."

“I understand. I’ll take Seele there now. I’ll personally capture that guy. Having this ability means he’s a contractor. Ordinary armies would have a hard time defeating him. Leave it to me and Seele.”

Old Yu nodded, tacitly approving Bronya's actions. "Be careful. We don't know the exact abilities of the other party yet. We searched the database today and compared it with all the contractors exposed in the world. This ability is not in our records at all. Be extremely careful."

Chapter 165: Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Fighter Jets

Before setting off, Hei hope didn't directly ask Bronya if she was confident she could face the upcoming enemies. She had absolute trust in Bronya, and since she set off without any preparation, she must have already made preparations.

"What are you planning to do with that guy?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the other party must have used some kind of possession ability to take over one of their bodies to force them out."

"But here's the problem: no information was leaked about this selection of the second contractor. Only the leader knew about it. He just asked his subordinates to do it, but never revealed the purpose."

"Under these circumstances, what kind of person do you think would be able to find out about this plan?"

Bronya felt that the other party's presence was very unusual, but Hei hope didn't think so. "Maybe we just happened to run into them. They discovered that we were searching for people on such a large scale, so they thought we were carrying out some top-secret plan and accidentally stumbled in?"

"It's hard to say. Both probabilities are very low and quite absurd, so I tend to think that the other party is planning something... Anyway, we'll know what's going on when we see that guy."

The two arrived at the helicopter platform, and the enclosed dome above slowly opened. Bronya's heavy bunny appeared behind her and quickly transformed into a much larger and heavier heavy motorcycle than before.

Hei hope stepped forward in surprise, reaching out to stroke the rabbit's smooth surface. "You modified it again?"

"I just found some useful things while analyzing the data, so I modified Reinstall Rabbit. I haven't tested the actual effect yet."

Hmm... Previously, you could pull out energy swords from both sides of the vehicle, including a 40-meter greatsword, an energy katana, a ring-pommel sword, and a knight's sword—they supposedly drew inspiration from Final Fantasy VII. Now they've added psionic powers...

It's likely that Little Rabbit will eventually set its sights on spaceplanes.

"Get in the car, hurry up this time, I'll speed up a little."

"Let's speed it up, I'm used to it anyway."

He sat down behind Bronya, wrapped his arms around her waist, and then subconsciously scratched her with his fingers. Bronya blushed. "Don't move! It's itchy, that spot is very sensitive!"

"Oh, I'll remember that. Next time I'll target that spot."

"Ugh...really, how come you're still thinking about things like this at a time like this!"

With a blush and a complaint, Bronya still started the bunny, instantly activating the engine the moment the platform reached the top, and soaring into the sky with a roar.

After a brief sprint through the air, a path of condensed energy automatically formed beneath the vehicle and extended toward Bronya's destination.

"Alright! Let's go! Let's rescue our sister!"

"What do you mean 'our little sister'?!"

"Huh? So you call her 'older sister'? Seele in this world is 20 years old, the same age as me, so you should call her 'older sister'."

"No way! I would never call someone 'sister'!"

"Besides you..." Hei hope had just finished speaking when she thought to herself, Bronya smiled, "I understand, I won't force you, let's go!"

Blue jet beams erupted instantly from the nozzles on either side of the motorcycle's rear wheels, and a blue energy shield formed at the center of the fuselage, instantly accelerating the aircraft to a speed that even surpassed that of the latest J-22 fighter jet.

Looking at Bronya speeding along on the radar, Lao Yu wondered, "Is this girl addicted to racing? Aren't airplanes faster than this?"

"Commander...Commander Bronya's speed...has already surpassed our latest J-22 fighter jet..."
