Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"You want to activate the gate and enter the Eye of the Abyss?"

Iselin pushed up her glasses and looked at the two "Bronya" in front of her, feeling a little confused for a moment.

"That's right, we're going to find Seele!"

"Hmm, Seele Volleriane... I've looked up the experiments Cocolia conducted back then, although the final records were erased, I have a rough idea..."

Iselin nodded under their expectant gazes, and said thoughtfully...

"Therefore, I disagree—"

The green-haired doctor then gave a reply that sent both of them on a rollercoaster of emotions...

"It's one thing for Cocolia to be messing around, but why are you all doing the same thing?!"

"Your mother, Cocolia, was removed from her position as an executor for some reason, and even imprisoned for it; I am now nominally the guardian and teacher of your Cocolia Orphanage—"

"Your request is rejected—if you cause any more problems, I don't know how I'll explain it to the Alliance Leader, Simone Riley, and Cocolia."

"Wait... Cocolia's mother is in jail?!"

Bronya seemed to have heard something even more shocking.

"That happened a long time ago—it wasn't really imprisonment. For the sake of the children at the orphanage, the leader only removed her from her position and placed her under house arrest in New York, where the Anti-Entropy headquarters is located."

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about Bronya—"

"Eat well and sleep well, I just think about you all every day. Remember to go back and visit her when you have time."

Good morning! Good morning! Good morning!

Chapter 248 Duck's Amazing Adventure

Having been pressured by Iselin using her position as a parent, the two ducks had to give up for the time being, or perhaps one of them was distracted by something else, leaving the other to give up as well.

"Hey, why do you suddenly look so preoccupied?"

Brownie looked at Bronya with concern, her face clouded and her mind preoccupied, after she came out of Dr. Iserly's office.

"It seems that Cocolia is a very, very important person to you?"

“That’s Bronya’s mother, or more accurately, Bronya’s adoptive mother.”

"So many people care about her... she must have a very good relationship with you all, right?"

Brownie gave him a curious look.

"No... Bronya's relationship with Cocolia's mother..."

"It probably doesn't seem very good in your eyes... Mom often makes Bronya do things against her will."

"Hey, is the mother-daughter relationship this tense?"

Brownie listened to Bronya and Cocolia's relationship, then thought about his own relationship with Ciora, and sighed, "There's no harm without comparison."

“But Cocolia’s mother did take good care of everyone in the orphanage. Bronya could feel that Cocolia’s mother’s feelings for everyone were genuine.”

"But Mom also does things that people don't want to see..."

"Seele left everyone in the same way..."

"Hmm, she sounds like a contradictory person... But I think if Bronya were to meet Ms. Cocolia now, she would probably seem more like a mother, right?"

Brownie thought for a moment and then gave his opinion.

"Why do you say that?"

Bronya looked at the girl who looked exactly like her and tilted her head in confusion.

"Because of my description, Dr. Iserlyn, this Ms. Cocolia has now been dismissed and is under investigation—"

"And from your description, Bronya, it seems that this woman is someone who is torn between her career and family."

"Now that her career has essentially vanished, she will pour all her remaining energy and emotions into her family."

"Brownie's intuition about people is usually very accurate. If I, Cocolia, were standing in front of you right now, I would definitely say that you are her pride."

The two strolled through the city center, and with Brownie's encouragement and guidance, the gloom on Bronya's face gradually dissipated.

"Ah, this must be the heart of this city..."

Unbeknownst to them, the two arrived at the heart of the City of the Abyss, the location of the Gate to the Sea of ​​Quanta, the Eye of the Abyss.

"The gateway to the Sea of ​​Quanta should be this open space beneath our feet."

"Wow—that's huge! Captain's Hyperion should be able to sail right out of here."

Brownie whistled, looked around the huge square, measured it, and nodded with some certainty.

"Then we can just have the captain bring out the Hyperion..."

Just as Brownie was pondering her various strange and wonderful collections aboard the Captain's Hyperion, Bronya interrupted her...

“Miss Brownie...were these floors glowing when we first arrived here?”

"Uh... I don't think so?"

"..."

The two ducks looked at each other and fell silent...

"This gate... it seems to have started?"

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two people standing above the gate...

"Run! Run!"

Brownie grabbed Bronya and ran towards the outer edge of the huge square.

"I don't want to be flushed down the toilet like that—ugh!"

The screams abruptly ceased, a flash of white light streaked across the empty square, and silence returned... leaving only the echo of a somewhat young male voice...

"Two? Oh well, two it is, it doesn't matter... *slurp*"

A strange slurping sound followed, and then the square fell completely silent. Then, a scream rang out from somewhere else—

"Why did the Gate to the Abyss suddenly activate?!"

Dr. Iserly rubbed her hands nervously as she waited for the monitoring instruments to arrive, and then contacted another anti-entropy executor stationed there.

"Simon, can you hear me, Simon—!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Iselin, what's with all the yelling? You're going to deafen me..."

"The Eye of the Abyss has inexplicably activated!"

"Huh? That thing can start on its own???"

"I don't know. There's never been any record of this thing starting up on its own in the documents left by previous civilizations."

Iselin was also completely bewildered and had no idea what to do.

"Let's not dwell on this. Let's contact everyone and see if anyone else has been implicated."

"If anyone gets caught in it, we'll have to activate the Eye of the Abyss again and try to get them out..."

"Oh, right, and there are personnel too—"

Iselin rushed to the communication platform and connected to the global broadcast—

"Hello, hello, hello! All staff and support troops in Haiyuan City, please reply to this message immediately! Please reply immediately!"

"This is Einstein and Tesla, Dr. Iserly. We received your communication. What happened?"

"This is the Nine Heavens, the same question as above."

"Theresa, the same applies."

"Delta and Ninti received your message. Dr. Green Hair, are you in some kind of danger?"

"This is Rosalia and Lilia, Doctor, I just saw a cool girl who looks exactly like me—"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Ahem, wait a minute, where's Bronya? Bronya, please respond!"

Looking at the joking chatter in her contacts, Iselin suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing...

"So, Doctor, why are you calling everyone in such a hurry?"

Theresa's voice rang out.

"Just now, the gate to the Eye of the Abyss suddenly activated itself for a few seconds. It called you to check if anyone had been caught inside..."

"Based on the current feedback, Bronya and that Miss Brownie are probably involved..."

"If you've cleared out the Honkai Beasts over there, gather at the control room in Abyss City—"

"I need to activate the Eye of the Abyss again and bring them back as soon as possible before they fall in too long."

"If you stay in the Sea of ​​Quanta for too long and lose your way, you really won't be able to come back. Besides, Brownie is a traveler from the sea and is suitable for the Sea of ​​Quanta, but we don't know if Bronya is."

"Received. We will deal with these Honkai Beasts as soon as possible. Please prepare several rescue plans in advance."

"Alright, everyone, please hurry up..."

Iselin began pacing anxiously in the control room...

"Oh no, oh no, if we can't find it, Cocolia will definitely break out of prison and beat me to a pulp."

Chapter 249 Racing Time

"What do you mean, it's you, the white-haired traffic cop?!"

Bronya and Brownie, who had been tricked, deceived, and ambushed by Kevin, flew past the old man slurping noodles and fell into a world bubble radiating rainbow light.

"Young people are quite energetic, slurp—"
