The system handed me over to the state.

Chapter 16: Class Monitor

"Welcome, Herrscher of Reason. I am glad that you are willing to help me. I have already begun the evacuation of personnel, and my subordinates have discovered that the Undying Blade of Schicksal is entering the city."

"Your mission is simple: help me stop the Undying Blade. I will have my men take the experimental subjects and research data and leave this place. After the evacuation is complete, whether you stay to continue fighting them or leave is entirely up to you."

"I understand... What kind of research are you conducting here?"

"I'm sorry, that's confidential, I can't tell you."

Bronya countered with a question, but was rejected by the Jackal. She knew what kind of research the Jackal was conducting. In the story, the research the Jackal was conducting was not a good experiment. Like Otto, it was an experiment on artificial stigmata using human bodies, or bio-modification technology.

To be honest, Bronya doesn't like these people doing this kind of thing. If it weren't for the mission, she would definitely interfere with or sabotage Raven's operations.

Furthermore, the science education in the country where I grew up has clearly stated this point: there will never be any involuntary human experimentation. All human experiments are based on humanity, justice, and voluntariness.

Bronya looked at the busy researchers around her, and... in the fight against Honkai, they wouldn't lack even a little bit of research on the Jackal.

So, just as Bronya was about to make her move before the battle even began... she stopped.

She walked slowly toward the underground server space where the data was stored. Along the way, she saw fallen guards and destroyed robots. When she saw the gray-haired figure standing there, Bronya felt a surge of excitement.

Is it the class monitor? No... Bronya, you can't let these feelings affect you. What you need to do now is very important. The current class monitor is still under Otto's command.

After reminding herself of this, Bronya strode towards the class monitor in the distance. At this moment, Fu Hua stared at the password-protected door in front of her, sighed helplessly, crouched slightly, raised her right hand, and struck! The metal door in front of her was instantly shattered and crashed to the ground.

Pull your hand back, inhale, exhale, "Who is it!"

Suddenly sensing someone behind her, Fu Hua turned around abruptly and met Bronya's gaze in the dim light of the corridor.

"You are... Bronya?"

Fu Hua stared at Bronya in surprise. Something was wrong! This person was far too mature compared to Bronya. This wasn't the same person!

"Yes and no, Bro... It's nice to see you here, Class Monitor, but that's not the time to talk about that. Otto sent you, right?"

Bronya instinctively wanted to use her own name instead of words like "I," but she suppressed the urge and asked, "Are you going to stop me?" Fu Hua nodded.

"...Are you taking these documents with you?"

“…”

There was no word in sight. Bronya looked around at the space. It was too cramped. The Heavy Bunny couldn't operate freely here. So, she could only rely on herself.

Bronya spread her arms wide, revealing two Nepalese kukri knives formed from constructive energy. "It seems we're destined for a battle today, squad leader."

The jackals haven't transferred the data yet; destroying this data is Bronya's goal this time. And destroying the data... such a good reason is right in front of her, why not seize it?

Bronya immediately brandished her saber and charged at Fu Hua. Fu Hua flipped over Bronya's head in mid-air, attempting to ambush her from behind. However, a phantom suddenly flashed behind Bronya, and a mechanical metal fist materialized, clashing with Fu Hua's palm.

After Fu Hua was repelled, she frowned. Bronya turned around, and the military knife in her hands disappeared, replaced by two pieces of plastic explosive formed from construct energy.

"goodbye!"

That's right, Bronya never intended to engage Fu Hua in a direct confrontation from the start. Of course! With the Lunar Armor Overload activated, wouldn't it be asking for trouble to fight in close combat in such a confined space?

He threw two pieces of plastic explosives behind him and immediately took out a detonator to detonate them!

The shockwave from the explosion surged toward Fu Hua through the narrow passage, while Bronya, thanks to her constructive shield, escaped directly through the opening created by the explosion.

"Hey! Herrscher of Reason, what happened? The data transfer wasn't finished yet, and all the servers are gone!"

The jackal's angry shouts rang out in the earpiece, but Bronya calmly replied, "The server has detected an intruder. The intruder has destroyed the server and planted explosives."

"Damn it! Have the chosen ones gone mad? Don't they want us to have what they can't have themselves?"

Bronya raised an eyebrow at Jackal's words. If that's the case... Jackal's technique has some interesting origins.

At this moment, the red alert was also sounded at the upper levels of the base, indicating that the invasion of the Undying Blade had begun.

At that moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from the flames of the explosion, and Heavy Bunny instantly materialized, crossing its arms to block Bronya's path. The powerful punch struck Heavy Bunny's arms directly.

Forced to retreat a distance, Heavy Bunny grabbed Fu Hua's arms as she burst out of the explosion and immediately opened fire at close range!

But before the four-barreled bombardment was over, an even more powerful force sent Bronya and Heavy Bunny flying.

After Bronya was picked up by the bunny, she shook her head and looked at the triangular barrier that had unfolded in front of Fu Hua. Tsk... So all the moves in the game have been proven in reality?

It's okay if I can't beat you in close combat, it doesn't mean I don't have other ways to fight!

Fortunately, this place is spacious enough that she can make some interesting things!

Bronya opened her right hand, and sculpted energy surged forth. Two enormous mechanical knights rapidly formed around her, one wielding a double-edged greatsword and shield, and the other holding two battle axes, standing beside Bronya like guards.

These are auxiliary mechs designed by Bronya based on the ideas of Durandal's two guardian knights. These mechs are formed from construct energy, and as long as they don't die or their power is exhausted, they will not fall!

"Attack!"

At Bronya's command, the two mechanical knights charged straight at Fu Hua, while Bronya sat atop the Heavy Bunny's palm, looking down at Fu Hua, who was fighting the mechanical knights below, like an empress.

The two mechanical knights were enormous, but they were incredibly fast and coordinated perfectly. The warrior wielding two battle axes relentlessly pursued Fu Hua, while the other defended and counterattacked, simultaneously preventing Fu Hua from directly attacking Bronya in mid-air.

"Let's leave the class monitor to them. Let's go and do what we need to do."

After saying that, Bronya was carried away by the bunny. She needed to deal with the rest of the Undying Blade, and... she might run into Durandal.

Fu Hua took a deep breath, looking at the two mechanical knights who were attacking her again. They were too troublesome. If this continued, she wouldn't be able to get the data, and the lives of the others would be in danger. So... should she still use them?

Fu Hua closed her eyes.

At that moment... a crimson feather drifted down behind Fu Hua...

Chapter 17: You also have the surname Das?

"The cleanup is almost complete. The Undying Blade of Destiny... it's still quite powerful at this stage."

In Bronya's own memory, in the Honkai world eight years later, the Undying Blade squad under Schicksal still maintained its complete structure, with Durandal and Rita still playing a leading role as captains. However, the two captains preferred to do what they liked, especially Rita, who spent her days teasing children, particularly Theresa.

Looking at the mission progress bar, 100% of the researchers have safely evacuated, but only 80% of the Schicksal forces remain, meaning there are still 20% left to be cleared.

At this moment, Bronya sensed that the two mechanical knights she had created had been destroyed. It seemed that the class monitor was still strong. Under the overload state of the Moon Wheel, those two temporarily constructed mechanical knights were definitely no match for her.

So... should we stay and fight, or retreat?

Bronya was caught in a dilemma when, at that moment, a cold glint of a blade flashed behind her!

However, the Heavy Bunny reacted even faster, its blue structural shield instantly blocking the blade's light, and its right hand unleashed a palm strike that sent the attacker flying.

Boom! The palm cannon exploded amidst the ruins below, and a blue bar of light appeared in front of Bronya. Rita? She hadn't expected the captain of the Undying Blade squad to have set off, but...

As the smoke cleared, Rita's dark red maid outfit was revealed. "She hasn't obtained the Moon Soul Armor yet? Then she's nothing to fear!"

Bronya, freed from Heavy Bunny's protection, landed safely on the ground, while Heavy Bunny floated in the sky. "Miss Rita... it seems Schicksal attaches great importance to this base. Would you mind telling me, what did World Serpent do to offend you?"

Rita wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The power of that palm strike had far exceeded what she could withstand. Even Durandal wouldn't have dared to take such an attack head-on.

Thinking of this, Rita recalled the mysterious Herrscher of Reason who appeared in Changkong City, as mentioned in the intelligence report, and the person in front of her matched perfectly.

“The Lawyer of Reason… I never expected to run into you here.”

Rita gripped the scythe tightly in her hand, while Bronya used her energy to create blue cannons that formed around Rita, almost completely surrounding her.

"I'm not the kind of person who will sit idly by and wait to die!"

But as soon as Rita finished speaking, Bronya whispered, "Fire."

The cannons surrounding Rita spewed out destructive white light, and an even more terrifying explosion caused the underground space to begin to collapse. Bronya looked around, and the heavily armored bunny scooped up the injured and unconscious Rita and left the underground space.

However, a crimson feather suddenly floated past Bronya, who immediately activated her Construct Shield. The next moment, a golden fist beam shot straight toward Bronya's face.

"Class monitor..."

"Leave her here!"

Fu Hua shouted. At this moment, 90% of the Schicksal forces had been eliminated, and Fu Hua should be the last 10%. However, no matter how she thought about it, Bronya still couldn't bring herself to hurt the squad leader in front of her. In the end, she could only have Little Rabbit raise the badly injured Rita in her hand and say, "Stop!"

Seeing Rita's miserable state, Fu Hua gritted her teeth but had no choice but to stop and put a small distance between herself and Bronya. Bronya did not withdraw her shield. She was certain that the squad leader's speed was beyond the fighting skills she had mastered as the Ural Silver Wolf.

"Hand her over to me, or you're not leaving today!"

Fu Hua shouted loudly at Bronya. Bronya looked at Rita, and then Heavy Bunny threw Rita out of her hand, causing her to hit Fu Hua in the arms. When Fu Hua came to her senses, she saw a blue light shooting into the sky and heard the roar of a motorcycle.

In the sky, Bronya rode her bunny motorcycle, watching the earth below collapse and cave in; the commotion had been quite significant...

"The evacuation is complete, but all the research data has been destroyed... Herrscher of Reason, I will remember you."

Through the earpiece came Jackal's voice, suppressing his anger. Bronya simply said coldly, "The destruction of your research data has nothing to do with me. The people from Schicksal came straight for your server. When I arrived, they had already planted explosives and were preparing to detonate them. Before trying to shift the blame, get your facts straight. Otherwise, Jackal... do you know the consequences of provoking me?"

"...Damn fate...I'll make those guys pay!"

The communication with the cowardly Jackal ended there. Bronya submitted the mission directly. Although she didn't completely defeat the squad leader, so the progress of the Destiny Force was stuck at 90%, it should still be enough for her to draw a decent reward.

After the mission was over, Bronya did not rush back to the World Serpent Headquarters. Instead, she stayed in Ninghai City for three days before setting off back.

After all, there's nothing in Paradise, so what's wrong with buying some food and drinks?

The moment Bronya returned to Paradise, she was stopped by Alicia, who was crying her eyes out.

"Waaaaah! Bronya, you have to help me! There's some guy playing Tyrannosaurus who's taunting me! He even urbanized me, not taking the initiative to attack but making me fight first, and then taunting me afterward!"

"That's terrible! You have to help me get revenge!"

Hearing Alicia say this, Bronya was a little stunned. What... was going on?

"So... what exactly happened?"

Alicia pulled Bronya to the game console, pointed at it, and said, "Look! This Tyrannosaurus beat me, and he mocked me the whole time!"

Bronya blinked, and just then, another voice rang out, "In my opinion, it's because Alicia was less skilled that she lost the match."

Bronya turned her head and looked at Eden sitting in front of the bar's mixing counter, nodding and saying, "Eden, you're here too."

"Waaaaah... Eden, what do you mean by being outmatched?! You've never seen a fight like this before! He never attacks first, he builds layers and layers of defensive towers that I can't break through at all. He knows I can't win, yet he doesn't even bother to attack me. Isn't this mockery?"

Bronya understood. Tyrion's dark side, huh... Bronya glanced at Alicia's battle record and was stunned. In less than a week, Alicia had actually reached the Grandmaster level. Was she that talented?

Then, looking at the match Alicia mentioned, Bronya froze upon seeing the opponent's avatar and ID: a barcode-wearing character, Widowmaker Ray's avatar... and the match history showed every game lasting over 30 minutes, with some even exceeding an hour...

Could it be... that man with the compound surname Das who chose the dark side of Tyrion and urbanized life?
