The system handed me over to the state.

"It's...it's just simple quantization, quantizing our two bodies so we can pass directly through the wall in front of us, and there are no aftereffects, it's very simple."

"Wow...what a convenient ability...I'm so envious."

Seele was speechless. Wasn't Bronya's teleportation method more convenient than hers?

After the two entered the room, they followed the sound into the girl's room. However, as soon as they pushed open the door, a clear and childlike voice rang out, "Welcome to my home, big sisters!"

Bronya looked closely and saw a little black-haired girl wearing white stockings and a light pink dress sitting on a light pink carpet. Toys, dolls, and plush toys were placed around her. Bronya squatted down next to the little girl and said softly, "Hello, I'm here to check on you. May I examine you?"

"Yes! I can tell that you mean me no harm! I like you, sister!"

The girl stretched out her hands, indicating that she wanted Bronya to hold her. Bronya reluctantly stretched out her arms and picked up the little girl. Seele, who was standing nearby, took out the equipment in her hand and began to conduct a simple physical examination on the girl, including the special examinations that Dr. Tesla had instructed.

The little girl was very well-behaved and quiet. The scan was completed quickly. After it was over, Bronya took out a piece of candy from her space and said, "Here, as a reward for being a good girl. Don't tell your mom, or the candy will be confiscated and you won't have any left."

The little girl clutched the candy to her chest, saying, "Thank you, big sister! I love you the most, big sister!"

Chapter 201: Streetlights are the true home

"The checkup is finished? So fast?"

Einstein was somewhat surprised. Bronya smiled and said, "Yes, she's a very well-behaved child. The examination was quick and went smoothly, and there were no problems. Here are the data; take a look."

Seele handed the instrument to Einstein, and after examining the data, the two looked thoughtful. "Hmm... her Honkai energy adaptability has actually increased... but no Stigmata were detected. Overall, everything is moving in a positive direction."

"Bronya, I have a question."

At this point, Tesla suddenly asked, "In your country, would you take away children with such exceptional talent and train them to be soldiers?"

Bronya was taken aback. "Why are you suddenly asking that?"

"Because in our world, organizations like Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, when they encounter children with excellent Honkai energy adaptability, will use various methods to orphan them and then take them into their organizations for training. Yes, Anti-Entropy has also used such methods, which is why we are unwilling to go with Cocolia."

When the topic came up, Tesla's expression turned resentful, while Einstein calmly put away his instruments. "It's all in the past, Dr. Tesla. There's no need to dwell on those irrelevant things from the past."

"Hmph, I was just reminding her!"

Bronya's expression was serious. "Regarding this matter, Dr. Tesla, you can rest assured that military service in Shenzhou is voluntary. Even I returned voluntarily. When I was first selected, I initially refused, but later, I chose to return on my own initiative."

"The same goes for this little girl. If she chooses to participate voluntarily, we will gladly accept it. If she chooses to refuse, we will not say or do anything more."

But in reality... that girl's innate ability destined her to be extraordinary. If such talent were to be buried, Bronya would feel incredibly sorry. But if you want to make good use of it, and the girl is unwilling, would you still force her?

So it's a difficult choice... and Bronya has a feeling that this troublesome thing will happen to her in the future.

"Speaking of which, why is that mother so hostile towards us? Neither Shenzhou nor the laboratory at the embassy have done anything bad to her, have they?"

Bronya couldn't understand why the mother was so agitated in front of them. Had something bad happened? Or... were there things happening inside the facility that they were unaware of?

"We don't know yet... but when we talked to her, she kept avoiding the topic of her husband. After you went in, didn't you find anything unusual in the room?"

Bronya shook her head and went straight to the girl's room, completely ignoring everything else around her.

"Let's investigate that later. Now let's move on to the next one."

"Ah."

.........

At lunchtime, the four of them had spent the entire morning examining all the newborns and children in the shelter, and found no children with unusual appearances or abnormal talents.

In short, they gained nothing except for the scarlet Möbius strip.

"It seems... I need to ask Mei about this..."

Bronya could only place her hopes on Mei. Mei had defeated Mebius head-on, so she must know something about Mebius and the heroes in the Paradise of the Past.

However... this matter isn't urgent. But just as the two were about to leave, Dr. Tesla stopped them and asked, "I remember you have an... extradition plan, don't you?"

Bronya nodded. "Yes, the extradition plan, because the environment there is completely unsuitable for ordinary people to live in. Even the Valkyries have an extremely difficult time living there. In addition, the temporary base serves more as an outpost and air force base than a containment facility."

"Therefore, all the people who have applied, as well as the retired Valkyries, will be checked and brought to live inside the detention center. What's going on?"

Tesla's expression turned somewhat angry. "Hmph! Let me give you a heads-up: those survivors from Antarctica, you'd better not let a single one of them enter this place!"

Bronya looked slightly puzzled, and Tesla told her about his experience of being separated from Einstein in the Antarctic survivor settlement.

Because the Antarctic survivor camps were mainly composed of survivors from European countries, with a small number from the United States and Australia, Tesla's early construction and guidance of the survivor camps went very smoothly, especially since there were no Honkai Beasts, mutated creatures, or radiation-affected environments.

Aside from the fact that it's a bit cold here, there are no other survival challenges.

But soon, Tesla felt the malice of capital again. The survivor camp she had painstakingly helped build was gradually swallowed up by those rich capitalists. Even when she received Einstein's message and was preparing to leave, those capitalists still tried to build a huge capitalist empire in Antarctica.

"Therefore, Antarctic survivors must absolutely not let those capitalists in! Otherwise, the environment inside the shelter will definitely be polluted!"

Bronya scoffed. "You can rest assured about that. Even if they manage to sneak in, they'll only end up hanging from a lamppost. But... Dr. Tesla, thank you for the reminder. I wonder how the situation is at the Arctic survivor camp?"

Tesla shook his head. "I don't know. The Arctic survivor camp was built by Cocolia, but we haven't been in contact for a long time due to the communication outage. We tried to call them before, but all attempts failed."

Bronya frowned slightly. Although many of Cocolia's actions weren't exactly honorable, she undoubtedly held a place in the hearts of Bai hope and Bronya...

"I understand. I'll contact the base commander later and have them send a proton gunship over to take a look."

Bronya nodded. Arctic survivors? The system mentioned an Arctic survivor camp last time, which means the situation in the Arctic is relatively good. At least most people are still alive, but we don't know how they survived.

After saying goodbye to the two doctors, Seele was still a little dazed and asked with a hint of doubt, "Bronya, were those two... really... Tesla and Einstein?"

"It's true. You'll get used to it. Don't treat them like great people who can't be communicated with. You'll find that they actually have very peaceful personalities."

Seele nodded, hoping... that was true...

Chapter 202: Your horns... are very beautiful!

Next, they headed to a convenient location, a place Bronya frequented: the public hospital within the residence.

"The person you are about to meet is another version of me."

Bronya didn't hide anything and directly told Seele who she had come to see. Seele was stunned for a moment. Another... Bronya sister?

"Is the other Bronya... from that world?"

"Yes, you should call her your younger sister. She's younger than us, and her physical development is a bit delayed. Well, it's temporary. She should be about my age in the future."

"So when you meet her, you can call her your sister. Also, there's another you. Her existence is currently quite unique, so don't be too surprised."

Seele nodded silently, indicating that she understood, but a little confused. Why was she in a hospital? Was it because she was injured in the battle, or... did something happen? Or was she sick? Was that why she had to be treated in a hospital?

Confused and bewildered, Seele entered a hospital room with Bronya. When they opened the door, Bronya was surprised to see an unexpected person.

Mei, not Theresa, nor Himeko, but Mei.

"Mei...did you get in through the application process too?"

Bronya looked at Mei in the room with great surprise. Mei was wearing a light blue loungewear outfit, and her long hair was casually tied up with a purple hair tie.

"Bronya...Seele?"

When Mei saw who it was, Bronya's expression was relatively normal, but when she saw Seele, her expression turned surprised. It wasn't the dark Seele... it was the Seele who looked normal. Could it be... the Seele from that world?

Einstein has already explained to Mei the existence of parallel universe counterparts.

Therefore, Mei wasn't too surprised to see Seele, but the other person in the room was surprised.

"Eh...is it...is it another me?"

The voice that suddenly echoed in her mind startled Seele. She looked left and right but didn't see a fifth person in the room. She asked in confusion, "Who...who is speaking?"

Bronya smiled and raised her hand, and a beautiful butterfly that emitted a pale blue glow landed on the back of her hand. "Let me introduce you. This is Seele Voller, you from another parallel world. Due to some special reasons, she has temporarily lost her physical body, but this is only temporary."

"We have used the technology provided by the Void Treasury, and Dr. Einstein has used the remaining technological equipment of Destiny to prepare a Soul Steel body so that Seele can temporarily have her own physical body."

"Of course, this is only temporary. We have been developing body regeneration technology, and having a body that truly belongs to you is just a matter of time."

Seele stared blankly at the butterfly representing White Seele in Bronya's hand, and subconsciously reached out to gently touch it. In her mind, she heard the girl's shy moan, "Eek... another... other me, be gentle."

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to, I was just really curious."

"It's okay, I understand. Also, it's been a long time, my other Bronya sister, Seele misses you too."

Bronya raised her hand and placed it on her face. The blue butterfly touched Seele's face, and Bronya closed her eyes, as if she could feel Seele's small hand gently caressing her.

"I missed you too, that's why I came over today."

Bronya smiled and turned to Mei, asking, "Have you been coming here to rest lately?"

Mei nodded, turned her head, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and the dense forest in the distance, and sighed, "I haven't seen such a sight in a long time... Sunshine, forest, such a beautiful scene, has long since disappeared from our world."

"There will be a day of recovery. Never underestimate the infrastructure capabilities of our China, as well as the Earth's natural recovery capabilities. If our engineers are not mistaken, you will be able to see green vegetation on the ground in less than 3 years, although it may be... a little ugly."

Mei looked surprised. "So fast?"

"Yes, Dr. Einstein has developed a new plant using our research equipment. It specifically absorbs radiation and excess Honkai energy from the air and then produces fruit. These fruits are also excellent Honkai energy aggregates. If used properly, they can become an important resource in the early stages of your world's revival."

"Speaking of which, where did the horns on your head go?"

Mei's expression froze. "Since I didn't need to use my power, I put it away..."

"That makes sense. After all, it's inconvenient for daily life. How long are you staying here this time?"

Realizing that Mei didn't seem to like the topic, she immediately changed the subject to divert Mei's attention.

While exchanging pleasantries with Mei, he pulled Seele to sit down beside the hospital bed. Seele's gaze was immediately drawn to the girl lying on the bed—it was... Bronya in the form of a child?!

"It's been a week... Kiana has been working very hard lately, and with Durandal joining us, our expansion has been even faster. So we're taking turns resting now. Today is my turn; I just arrived here yesterday."

"Oh... Theresa went back too?"

"Well, Theresa... the bishop has gone back to work and won't be coming back for a while. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Bronya shook her head, looked up at the duck on the bed, sighed, and reached out to gently pinch the duck's cheek. "We'll talk about it later... But you... I've come over so many times, and you still won't wake up. Do you even give me any face?"

There was no response. Seele asked worriedly, "What's wrong with her?"

"Do you know what a vegetative state is?"

"Um..."

"The situation is quite similar. Her current state is similar to that of a person in a vegetative state, but her consciousness is immersed in some kind of dream and she is unwilling to wake up, so she has become like this. Her body is in a dormant state, but her consciousness is unusually active. We have tried many ways to wake her up, but we can't. Too strong a wake-up call would damage her consciousness, and we dare not take the risk."

"So now we can only make her realize that she is in a false dream by giving her small stimuli every now and then, and then wake her up."
