The system handed me over to the state.

"What... are you doing here?"

Seele looked at Bronya and Black Seele sitting on the bed in the room with surprise. The two of them waved and smiled. "I haven't forgotten what we agreed on. I'll give you a present when you come back from your mission successfully."

Seele paused for a moment, blinked, and then snorted, "Your performance this time was not bad. If you hadn't performed well, I wouldn't have given it to you."

Seele's lips twitched slightly. Yes, yes, her performance wasn't bad... Sigh, being a tsundere really is exhausting...

Seele sighed softly, walked over to Bronya, and then hugged her tightly, pressing her down onto the bed. Then... there was no more movement. Bronya patted Seele's shoulder in confusion, but Seele just buried her head in Bronya's chest and mumbled, "Don't move... I want to sleep."

Then there was no response. Bronya looked at Blackie beside her, who sighed, "Alright, just enjoy yourself... I know what you're thinking. I'll let you do it, okay?"

Bronya blinked. "The confidence of the Empress?"

"Screw your confidence as the rightful wife, enjoy yourself, I won't bother you anymore."

Blackie, in a fit of anger, slapped Bronya's thigh, snorted coldly, and left the dormitory, not forgetting to leave her gift on the desk before she left.

Bronya sighed. "You win. Get up and find a better sleeping position."

There was no response. I gently patted Seele's arm, but there was still no reaction. No way! Did she really fall asleep so quickly?

Bronya suddenly felt a little...uncomfortable, because Seele was currently pressed against her chest, and the warm breath she exhaled was all landing on that...awkward and...sensitive spot.

For a moment, Bronya's body stiffened, and she dared not move. Finally, after thinking of a way, she moved her body slightly and turned from lying horizontally on the bed to a normal sleeping position.

At this moment, Bronya gently turned over, and Seele slid off her and lay down on her side. Bronya then got up, intending to leave, but Seele's hands gripped hers tightly. Afraid of waking Seele, she had no choice but to lie down obediently beside her.

After lying down, she gazed at Seele's face. Seele's appearance was no different from when she left. Seele's appearance had hardly changed in half a year. Bronya was very curious about what kind of training Seele had undergone in the past six months.

Six months ago, Seele would sometimes hurt herself with the scythe in her hand. She was not only not skilled at using the scythe, but even ordinary chopping was extremely clumsy.

But now, not only is Sickle skilled, but it can also perform some difficult moves. Its strength and speed have increased exponentially, and it even has the ability to teleport or jump through space.

This all shocked Bronya.

So Bronya began to plan, thinking that when she had the chance, she would ask Tong Xixi'er what she had experienced during her mission.

Meanwhile, Hei hope had already left outside the door. Bored and not wanting to vent his frustrations at the holographic projections in the training room, he went to the control room where Ji Chengtian and Lao Yu communicated with another world.

"Hmm? Miss Seele, what brings you here?"

Although both of them are named Xier, Ji Chengtian can still distinguish between them very well, since their distinctive features are very obvious and easy to identify.

"Just came to check...it's a bit boring. What's your progress?"

Hei hope sat down in the chair next to him, placed her hand on the table, and rested her chin on her hand while looking at the control panel in front of her. Ji Chengtian smiled and said, "Could it be that there's been a conflict?"

"No, we're just giving them some alone time. I can tell that girl really misses her, so we'll let her have it this time. Tell me about the progress here. The equipment overloaded once a while ago, right?"

Ji Chengtian nodded. "The exchange went relatively smoothly, and we have reached a preliminary consensus. We are now exchanging our respective historical processes to help us understand each other better."

"As for the instruments, thanks to the last maintenance, we can extend their operating time by another three days this time, and overload will not occur again."

"You didn't exceed that frequency, did you?"

"Yes, we've been communicating within the frequency range you told us about. Is there a problem? Will there be any issues if we go beyond that frequency?"

Hei Xi frowned slightly. "You know about the Quantum Shadow, right?"

"Yes."

"If the frequency is too high, it's like throwing a stone into the ocean of quantum mechanics and creating ripples. Other worlds will receive the information you send out in various ways. The higher the frequency, the farther it travels, but it will also attract some bad things."

"Our world was able to withstand these things before because of the existence of Honkai and Valkyries. Moreover, the large-scale appearance of Quantum Shadows will indirectly bring about Honkai. Your world is a world that has not been affected by Honkai, so if you don't want Honkai to appear here, don't exceed that frequency, understand?"

Ji Chengtian nodded seriously, indicating that he understood, but he was still very curious about what those bad things were. Moreover, according to the information shared by Dr. Einstein from another world, the Honkai only occurs on planets. If China develops into a space civilization in the future, will the Honkai disaster be equivalent to not existing for them?

So, is it possible that in the future they could actively trigger Honkai, collect Honkai energy, and use it as an engine for space battleships?

But upon closer inspection, this seems a bit troublesome. Perhaps we should try to replicate one of the Infinity Stones, the Power Stone. This stone can be used as a core energy source for weapons and as a power source for warships. If used properly, it's even more powerful than nuclear fusion.

Honkai energy would require the cost of an entire planet, which is far too troublesome.

The future... I'm so looking forward to seeing what it will be like.

Chapter 197: China, Still Magnificent

"Tsk tsk... I never expected that their China would have such a historical trajectory."

Mu Yulong looked at the historical data in his hand, which represented another world, Shenzhou, and clicked his tongue in amazement. The transformation started from the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty did not fall, but instead continued to rule. At that time, the Qin Dynasty almost reached Europe. What was this? Later, Qin Shi Huang shrank the territory of Shenzhou, and many imperial policies were passed down from generation to generation.

None of the tragedies of the Qing Dynasty occurred. Allied forces? Yes! They were even stronger than the Allied invasions they faced back then, because the Allied forces at that time also included Japan, and the overall date of World War II was brought forward.

The emperors of that era led large armies and the people to fight against them, and the Soviet Union, which has not yet disintegrated, provided considerable assistance. They even fought their way through European countries, directly breaking through Germany without the help of the Allies, leaving the whole of Europe stunned.

And what was the United States doing? They were having a great time fighting the Japanese navy! That's right, Japan in that world was actually a powerful country at the time, invading China while competing with the United States in naval power. Unfortunately, three nuclear bombs completely silenced them. Yes, three, one more than in their entire history.

At that time, the Soviet Union was helping China resist the invasion of the European coalition and Japan, and then fought its way through Europe to the core of Germany. No wonder there was no Britain or Germany in that world, because they had all merged into the European Union.

As for Japan, even after being taught a lesson, they still wouldn't behave themselves and kept stirring up trouble on China's borders. Eventually, they became the lackeys of the US, and having the US as their big brother gave them confidence.

"This historical material... is truly more and more shocking the more you look at it. I originally thought that our thousand-year history was something we could be proud of, but now it seems that their history is even more shocking to me."

The historical records, passed down for thousands of years and still being rewritten today, show a remarkably rare tyrant throughout history, with one wise ruler after another – isn't that just too exaggerated?

The more the history professor looked at the historical material, the more incredible it seemed. He even felt as if he were reading a historical novel rather than the true historical process of a country.

"That's incredible! And I never imagined that that person would become the most trusted person in the royal family at that time, holding both the positions of general and prime minister. He led the Divine Land to win the counterattack war, and later provided crucial plans for the development of the Divine Land. It seems that no matter which parallel world you're in, that person is just as great."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Mu Yulong put down the documents in his hand. "Assuming that these documents are true, then we can be basically certain that Shenzhou is basically in line with our national ideology. There should be no internal conflicts between us due to unequal distribution of benefits. Therefore, the alliance proposed by the other party should be credible."

"If the information they send is fake, then we need to be careful. Even if they can't come here, it doesn't mean they won't try to influence us through other channels."

"During this period, we can relax the enhanced defense measures a little, since there is no danger anymore. However, we need to speed up scientific research. Put other projects aside for now and get this communicator out first."

The secretary standing to the side paused, "Chairman, are you sure? We have several big projects coming up recently."

"No, let's get the communicator up and running first. You see, they said they have mature controlled nuclear fusion technology. If that's true, and they're willing to share it, then our energy technology will be further developed, and many things that are progressing slowly can be accelerated."

"Furthermore, they also mentioned the technology of creating channels between parallel worlds... which means that we will be able to establish a channel between us in the future. As for the near future, they are planning a communication to allow their emperor and me to speak in person."

"But Chairman, the information shows that their current emperor is a girl who is under 16 years old... and she is even highlighted as a national idol with a loli-like figure."

Mu Yulong fell silent... He suddenly snatched the documents from the person next to him and stared at them word by word... "This... a child? A child can become an emperor who rules the entire country?! What a joke!"

Mu Yulong found it hard to accept, while the historian next to him helplessly spread his hands and said, "They say it's a matter of inheritance. Her parents were both reigning emperors, a rare case of dual emperors in history. But when she was 12 years old, her parents suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a letter for her to inherit the throne."

"Because of the imperial education she received from a young age, this girl quickly returned to normal after a brief period of fluctuation in her power and has been ruling stably ever since."

"However, the specific social evaluation and other people's opinions of her are still unknown and need to be investigated."

Mu Yulong touched his hair and sighed, "Forget it, let's not dwell on this anymore. We'll know their true strength once we meet them... Collect all this information, bind it into a book, and then gather a group of historians to analyze it."

"We need qualified and experienced historians. Those who rely on popularity and entertainment should all get lost. We can bring in young people who are interested in history and are constantly researching it, and let them get involved in the country's most cutting-edge research projects."

"Understood, Chairman. We will carefully screen these candidates."

...........

"It seems they are quite surprised by our history... However, their history appears to be much more turbulent, with many gaps in the narrative. Is this due to the changing dynasties?"

Ji Chengtian looked at the historical documents in his hand with a hint of sadness. Compared to their smooth sailing and rapid development, the Shenzhou in another parallel world seemed to have a more bumpy road. There were changes of dynasties, invasions by foreign enemies, and countless massacres during World War II. But they still stood up. No matter which world it was, Shenzhou was always strong and magnificent.

As for the casualties among the military and civilians in China during World War II, there were many, but the majority were martyrs who died on the battlefield. The only massacre that occurred was prevented by the timely advance of reinforcements, something that China in another world could not do...

"Phew...the more I look at this information, the more fucking uncomfortable I feel."

As Lao Yu looked at the modern history of China in another world, he felt increasingly distressed. "I never imagined that China was so humiliated back then, with all these massacres. Damn it... I just want to call up the navy and go wipe out those guys in Area 11!"

Old Yu's reaction was very strong. Ji Chengtian only sighed, but Old Yu felt empathy. He was also one of the soldiers who had gone through that time. He knew very well about that massacre. Because of the timely reinforcements from the Soviet Union, they immediately dispatched troops to rescue the army and civilians trapped in the city. However, they never expected that in the history of the Celestial Empire in another world, it would turn into such a heinous thing.

"Bear with it... there will be opportunities later. According to the last meeting, the contractors in Area 11 are basically half-crippled and there is no sign of them being abandoned. So the development of Area 11 will definitely stagnate. In the future, what they will face will not be a simple matter of becoming a country of allegiance."

A cold glint flashed in Ji Chengtian's eyes. It seemed that helping the Celestial Empire in another world was an urgent matter.

Chapter 198: Rubbing it will make it bigger

When Seele woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Bronya's peaceful sleeping face. Seele was a little confused and wondered why Bronya was in her bed. But as the memories of yesterday gradually surfaced, Seele's face flushed slightly.

Seele stretched her stiff body, while Bronya turned over and lay on the bed. Seele lay on her side, gazing at Bronya's profile.

Bronya's appearance was very different from when she left. Her face shape hadn't changed much, but in terms of details, her eyes were more beautiful. If they were azure blue before, now they had a deep blue color with a hint of the ocean's depth.

She used to always have a cold face, like a person with no personality, and rarely showed any expression. Now, she always has a gentle smile on her face, and even her temperament has become more approachable.

As for her figure... there haven't been many changes, except her breasts are bigger. Considering her relationship with the other Seele, Seele has reason to suspect that her breasts got bigger because Black Seele squeezed them... Isn't it said that women become more attractive after experiencing certain things? Can breasts really get bigger by squeezing?

"Hmm....Seele...."

Huh? Why is it still calling its own name?

"I...can't eat anymore...Ugh...I'm so full..."

Hmm... it really was a dream. I just wonder if the Seele in the dream was me or that Black Seele?

Seele sighed softly. She felt that she still had a long way to go before she could truly solidify her relationship with Bronya... The Black Seele had already shown signs of opening up, and now all she needed to do was use that opening to slip in and find her place within it.

As for possession... she wasn't sure. She wasn't sure if she could possess someone else entirely, and the relationship between Blackie and Bronya seemed quite unusual... She really didn't have the confidence to possess Bronya completely.

Seele moved forward and gently hugged Bronya. In her sleep, Bronya instinctively hugged the thing that had snuggled into her arms, rubbed her face against Seele's forehead, and continued to sleep peacefully.

If things could continue like this... that would be wonderful... I really hope it can stay this way forever.

..........

The next morning, Bronya woke up and immediately got up to stretch her back. "Ugh! That felt so good! Sleeping for so long like that made my back a little sore!"

After moving around a bit, Bronya glanced at Seele, who was still sleeping beside her, but didn't disturb her. Instead, she stepped over Seele and got out of bed. This was the first time she had gone to sleep without changing her clothes. However, she had to admit that the clothes were indeed very comfortable, and she didn't feel any discomfort while sleeping.

Bronya sighed slightly as she looked at the gift on the table that Seele hadn't opened yet, deciding to let Seele open it herself.

After leaving a note on the table, Bronya left Seele's dormitory first, and Seele woke up less than three minutes after Bronya left.

Upon waking, Seele first curled up, then stretched out, and finally rubbed her eyes. Was this... the second day?

I turned my head and glanced at the clock next to me. It was 8 o'clock. Was it 8 in the morning or 8 in the evening?

No... when I last woke up, it was around nighttime, wasn't it?
