"apricot."
Xingmaer heard a familiar voice coming from behind him. His hands, which were raised in shackles, paused for a moment, then he put them down, tilted his head and glanced at Bronya who appeared behind him.
"Oh, I was just wondering which blind dog of destiny came here, and it turns out to be you, the traitor." Xingmar said nonchalantly: "Why? Those dogs of destiny asked you to persuade me?"
"Xing, I..."
"Enough!" Xingmaer shouted, turned around, looked at Bronya with a fierce look, and said, "I don't want to hear those disgusting words! If you dare to say those words, you are deliberately trying to disgust me! Even if I don't have the power, I will kill you! Do you hear me!"
"Xing, I came here just to tell you what I wanted to say before Changkong City collapses." Bronya sat down and looked directly into Xingmar's ferocious eyes, making Xingmar a little scared.
"Tsk! Who cares about you! Just say whatever you want!" For a moment, Xingmaer's eyes shifted away from Bronya's gaze, and his momentum softened.
Chapter 250: Bronya's Autobiography
"Ann... Bronya wanted to save this city, a city that was about to be destroyed by the Great Collapse." Bronya said slowly, "The one who caused this Great Collapse was none other than us. Bronya couldn't accept Mother Cocolia's actions, so she became a traitor."
"Heh... So that's all you wanted to say? Tell me why you became a traitor? Hahahaha, this is so hilarious! Bronya, you stupid guy, you actually felt soft-hearted and regretted it in the end? You weak guy!" Xingmaer burst into laughter the moment he heard this, but after laughing, he couldn't hide his anger.
"We can't turn back! From the moment the Honkai Furnace was opened, this city was destined to be sacrificed! And at the critical moment, you are unwilling to move forward because of your soft heart? Idiot! Big idiot! You are such a half-baked person!" Xingmal cursed.
"Either don't do this from the beginning, or go all the way from the beginning! Do you think you can turn back now if you want to? You are also the executioner of this destroyed city, don't even think about begging for their forgiveness!" After Xingmar finished cursing, he stood up and turned around, "Enough, both me and Cocolia are blind to think that you are the best among us! You weak and incompetent guy! I don't want to see your face again! Disgusting!"
"Maybe... You're right, Xing. Bronya is indeed a half-baked person. She has never had her own opinion."
After listening to Xingmaer's words, Bronya nodded silently and then said, "Before Bronya came to the orphanage, before Bronya was 11 years old, she had always lived with Uncle Maxim. During that time, Bronya had been growing up under the care and guidance of Uncle Maxim. Although that time was comfortable, it was also aimless... or the only purpose was to survive in that snowy field."
"Later, a large group of people burned down the house, and Bronya lost her home. Then, Uncle Maxim died in an accident. Bronya began to wander, and was kidnapped by a warlord on the snowy plains and trained to be a killer. Until she met Mother Cocolia during a mission, she was eventually taken back to the orphanage by Mother Cocolia."
"It can be said that before coming to the orphanage, Bronya was always a half-baked child, a child who only knew how to survive in the snowy plains according to the adults' requirements, and a mindless killer trained by a warlord who only needed to carry out missions and complete tasks."
"Even when she came to the orphanage, she didn't fit in with everyone else. Everyone else was a gentle and lovely child, but Bronya... was already an executioner. Everyone had their own dreams. Lilia and Rosaria wanted to be idols, and Seele wanted to become the director and teacher of an orphanage like Cocolia's mother, and continue to take in and care for the homeless. Even you, Xing, are the same... You said you wanted to be the most powerful person in the world."
Bronya spoke slowly, as if recalling something. And after hearing her talk about the dream she once said casually, Xingma's original anger somehow eased a lot. She slowly turned around, looked at Bronya, and said, "You even remember this?"
"Well... because Bronya envies everyone like this... Everyone has a vision for the future and a goal they want to achieve. Bronya doesn't have these things. Without the instructions and guidance of adults, Bronya doesn't know what to do or how to do it. Without the orders of adults, Bronya loses the motivation and goal to act."
Bronya looked back at her past self and said slowly, "Just like a robot or a tool, waiting for others to use it. Undoubtedly, Bronya must be the best tool... But, she is definitely not an excellent person. The premise of an excellent person is to be a 'human', right?"
"..." Xingmaer didn't say anything, because she didn't know how to answer. She just felt keenly that the other party was talking about something very sad. Well, Xingmaer was sure that it must be a sad thing.
"Then there was the time when Seele was kidnapped. Bronya initially followed Cocolia's mother's arrangement to look for Seele. However, it was because of that incident that Bronya used force in front of Seele and brutally killed the guys who kidnapped Seele in front of her. And Seele looked at me covered in blood and shouted 'devil'." Bronya said.
"Devil? Xier shouted that? That's really incredible." Xingmaer said.
"Well... maybe it was because of this incident that Bronya realized that she couldn't be so cold and thoughtless anymore. Otherwise, she would only hurt other children. Bronya wants to learn to live like a real child." Bronya said.
"And because of that incident, Seele and I became more and more familiar with each other, and our relationship became better and better. And the relationship with everyone in the orphanage also gradually improved. Until... that accident," Bronya said slowly.
At this point, even Xing's face showed a rare gloom, and then Xingmar asked: "Hehe, if I remember correctly, the reason why I launched the Great Collapse of Changkong City was to save that crybaby! So what are you doing now! Haven't you made up your mind to save that crybaby?! So what are you doing now! Are you not going to take care of that crybaby?"
"During the X-10 experiment, Bronya's legs were destroyed, and the emotional circuits in Bronya's brain were also destroyed. Having lost my emotional thinking, I once again turned back to my previous self, unscrupulous, becoming a cold and rational killer. It's really ironic. If nothing unexpected happens, Bronya will continue to carry out orders," Bronya said.
"But in that accident, Bronya met a kind person who repaired the emotional circuit in Bronya's brain, and Bronya also remembered the agreement she made with Seele." Bronya said slowly: "In the first agreement, Bronya promised Seele that she would not use her power to hurt others, especially innocent people. And in the second agreement, Bronya must find a way to bring Seele back."
"Bronya will not give up on saving Seele. But she shouldn't save Seele at the cost of sacrificing the entire city! A kind-hearted child like Seele would never want Bronya to bring her back in this way. This is why Bronya wanted to betray Cocolia's mother in the first place." Bronya said seriously.
"Oh, I see... because of Xier you and mom decided to launch the Great Honkai Impact, and because of Xier, you chose to betray us. Xier Xier Xier... just because you saved her once..." Xingmaer clenched his fists, looking very ugly.
"No, you are wrong about one thing... Seele only made Bronya have the idea of betrayal. It was not Seele that made Bronya decide to betray her mother." Suddenly, Bronya shook her head and said slowly.
"Huh?" Xingmaer was about to vent his emotions, but was forced to hold them back by Bronya's sudden words.
Chapter 251 Bronya's Decision
"After all, as you said before, we can't turn back. The Honkai Furnace has been opened and the collapse of Changkong City is about to come. What's the use of regretting now? Why use Seele to deceive ourselves?" Bronya said slowly.
"Since you know that, why do you still..."
"Because I met them... a group of them who are as lovely as the children in the orphanage." Bronya said slowly,
"A fool who seems to be not very smart, uses brute force every day, and is full of energy. A person who hides his sorrow and fear, but always treats the victims around him with a smile and tenderness. A person with a second-year syndrome who always speaks incomprehensible words, but is extremely persistent in justice. A two-faced instructor who is extremely strict in combat training, but gentle as water on weekdays."
"And there's another one, a scumbag who's always out of tune and philandering. Isn't it weird? Such a group of people want to save the city."
Bronya recalled the past two months of getting along with her friends, smiled gently, and then said.
"This is a group like this. They train hard every day to save the city. They are beaten and complain, but they never give up. They work hard to clean up the city's Houkai incidents every day. Even though they are not much stronger than Bronya, they dare to fight against Anti-Entropy and Cocolia's mother's troops."
"Especially that unreliable scumbag. Bronya saw that his strength was getting stronger day by day, and under his activeness, he pulled the Far East Branch of the Destiny to fight against Anti-Entropy. He even found the long-missing leader and facilitated cooperation."
"Bronya watched step by step for two months, seeing how they were so active that they gradually consumed Cocolia's mother's power and completely destroyed Cocolia's mother's trump card." Bronya sighed.
"And in fact... even if Bronya hadn't betrayed Mother Cocolia, the failure of the anti-entropy radicals was already doomed. Destiny, the mysterious Phantom Thieves, and the leader who hid the deepest and waited until the end to settle accounts. It's better to say that Bronya is the redundant one."
"Therefore, Bronya was moved by their actions without realizing it. Overthrowing Anti-Entropy is only the first step they have taken to save this city that is about to be destroyed by the collapse. They will continue to run and work hard for something that is impossible to succeed."
Bronya said a lot, and even Xingma, who had been listening at the side, couldn't help but be stunned. Is the person in front of her really the taciturn Bronya of the past?
"Xing, you said a lot right and scolded me a lot. I am a half-baked person, I don't have my own opinions, I'm not an outstanding child, and I'm even a betrayer. These are all correct. But there is only one thing you said that is wrong."
Bronya closed her eyes, thinking back to the past two months, thinking back to the smiles of her friends celebrating their victory, thinking back to watching the busy people in this city...
When he opened his eyes again, he revealed a determined look and said: "Bronya finally chose to betray Mother Cocolia, not because of weakness or regret! Bronya wanted to save this city like them! She wanted to save the people in this city! She wanted to truly fight against the Honkai!"
"This is not only a promise to Seele, but also a hope to atone for this sin for myself, Cocolia's mother, and Xing. But more importantly, Bronya wants to save them! She wants to accomplish this almost impossible task with them! This is what I really want to do!"
"Seele taught Bronya to be a kind child. And they taught Bronya to take on this responsibility and do what she really wants to do! Mom is gone, and I can't convey my thoughts to Cocolia's mother. And Xing, you are my only relative who is closest to me now. Bronya wants to convey the thoughts and will that have been suppressed in her heart to Bronya's family."
Bronya vented all the thoughts that she had been holding back for a long time, and suddenly she felt enlightened. At this moment, Bronya finally understood what Wang Chen meant.
Wang Chen actually didn't care whether Xingmaer could be persuaded to join. He just hoped that Bronya could completely let go of all the grudges in her heart and face her true feelings. So she hoped that she could speak out her heart honestly?
"Thank you... Captain." Bronya buried her gratitude deep in her heart, then looked at Xingmal, stood up, and said, "Goodbye Xing. Maybe I won't get your understanding after saying all this. But Bronya has understood what she is going to do next. Bronya will continue to fight against the Great Collapse of Changkong City."
After that, Bronya turned around and said, "Xing, you stay here for now. When Leader Walter comes back, the other imprisoned Anti-Entropy members will be released back to the Anti-Entropy camp with you. At that time, it is up to you to choose to go back to the orphanage to take care of the other children, or to go find Mother Cocolia."
"Hey, are you leaving now?" Xingmaer said as he looked at Bronya who was about to leave.
"Well... Bronya has already said that this time she wanted to meet you and talk to you, that's all." Bronya nodded and said.
"Hmph...then get out of here!" Xingmaer sat down suddenly, scratched his head irritably, and yelled at Bronya impatiently to go away.
Bronya didn't say anything else. Having realized her own feelings, she just wanted to continue to put it into practice.
"I wonder if the Captain has dealt with the situation?" Bronya thought to herself.
Watching Bronya gradually leave and about to disappear from his sight, Xingmaer felt very annoyed.
In fact, Xingma didn't care about the collapse of Changkong City at all. Because of her childhood experience, she had no empathy for those passers-by. She scolded Bronya so much before, just because she was unhappy with Bronya's betrayal. She didn't understand why she would do such a cowardly thing.
However, after Xingmaer heard what Bronya said, she realized that Bronya had changed...become more "beautiful" and "powerful". Xingmaer couldn't understand those complicated things, she only knew that Bronya had indeed changed and became much stranger.
Maybe I never understood Bronya? Maybe it was because of this reason that I didn't get Bronya's attention like Seele did?
Huh? Lost to that crybaby? Stop kidding! Xingmaer wanted to say this, but the jealousy in her heart forced her to admit that Seele had changed Bronya once, making Bronya more gentle and humane, no longer like a tool, as she just said.
Now, Xingmaer found that Bronya had changed again, becoming stronger, and there seemed to be light in her eyes. Just like the soul that he saw with his sinful eyes when he first saw Bronya - clear and beautiful.
I'm falling behind again... and I'm falling behind some idiots who seem stupid just by listening to Bronya's description. Damn it, damn it, damn it...
"Hey! Bronya!" Xingmaer suddenly shouted.
Just as Bronya was about to open the alloy door, she was suddenly interrupted by Xingma's yell from behind.
"What's wrong? Xing?" Bronya asked.
"Count me in as one..."
"what?"
"I say! If you want to save Changkong City! Count me in... count me in!"
The stubborn Xingmaer didn't want to stay where she was. Since Bronya was willing to reveal her true self in front of him this time, he couldn't continue to be so stubborn. Xingmaer wanted to keep up with Bronya this time.
Chapter 252 Raven's Fear
Finally, Bronya walked out of the room where Xingmar was imprisoned. After all, it was impossible for her to release Xingmar just because he wanted to help her. She did not have the qualifications and authority to do so. All she could do was to tell Wang Chen and Theresa about Xingmar's idea, and let them make the further decision.
Therefore, after Bronya explained everything to Xingmaer, she asked Xingmaer to wait for the news and then walked out. Xingmaer was speechless for a while and cursed in the room.
When Bronya came out, she saw Principal Theresa sipping her coffee slowly, so she walked towards her.
"Huh? Bronya, it's over so soon?" Theresa asked when she saw Bronya coming over.
"Well...there's no problem with Xing anymore. She said she wanted to join the camp fighting against the collapse of Changkong City." Bronya said.
"Okay, I understand. But my personal suggestion is that I don't want to add such an unstable factor. She is originally a child, and now her power is restricted because of her stance. In fact, I would rather wait for your Anti-Entropy Leader to come and take her back." Theresa frowned and said.
"But let's wait and see what Captain Wang Chen decides in the end. After all, he captured the person, and the power was sealed by his Valkyrie." Theresa said, glancing at the closed alloy door.
"Okay." Bronya also looked at the alloy door. Then she asked, "The captain has been in there for a while, but there is still no movement?"
"I don't know. Actually, Bronya, you finished faster. Gulp, gulp, ha..." After finishing the iced coffee and showing a comfortable and enjoyable smile, he threw the cup in his hand into the garbage recycling area, then came to the alloy door of the room that Wang Chen entered, and said, "But it should be almost done. Let's go in and see how Captain Wang Chen's interrogation is going."
Then, just as Theresa was about to open the door, the alloy door automatically made a click and opened from the inside.
"Huh? Captain Wang Chen has also finished dealing with it... Hahaha! What's happened to your face!" After seeing the door open, Theresa was just about to say hello to Wang Chen who came out, but when she saw the red slap mark on Wang Chen's face as he walked out, Theresa couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You'll have to ask the neurotic guy behind me." Hearing Theresa's laughter, Wang Chen pointed at the dejected looking Raven behind him with a dark face and said.
"Captain...you won't have any evil ideas after you go in, and you'll be punished." Bronya also noticed the slap mark from Wang Chen and complained.
"I've told children not to always think about those things!" Wang Chen replied.
So what happened? It all started when I first entered Raven's cell.
……
"It's really damn it... I wanted to get some information, but now I'm trapped in such a hellish place." Raven kicked the wall of the room and thought to himself, "The most important thing is that the power is still sealed. What kind of weird method is this? I thought I could recover after a good sleep. It's just temporary."
"No, I can't let them keep me locked up here. I must find a way to get close to that guy and figure out how to use my power... Is someone coming?" Suddenly, Raven heard the sound of a door unlocking and began to focus his attention on the door.
"That's exactly what I want. I can let this guy pass on the message and bring that Joker or Wang Chen here." Raven thought to himself.
Then he punched the door and saw a young man coming in. Raven thought the guy was pretty and handsome, and couldn't help but sigh that there were so many handsome men and beautiful women in the world. (Note: Raven had been seeing Wang Chen wearing a tactical goggle and not revealing his true face)
"Young man who just came in, could you please take a message out? Just say that I want to meet your guy named Joker or Wang Chen. I have important information that I want to trade with him." Raven said to the young man who he thought was here to deliver food.
"Thank you for your concern." Suddenly, the man looked at Raven with a smile and said, "But Miss Raven, I don't remember any information you can trade with me."
"It's you!" After hearing the other party's words, Raven immediately reacted. The handsome guy in front of him was the Wang Chen whom he hated so much.
"What? Could it be that Miss Raven has forgotten me?" Wang Chen smiled and found a chair to sit down, then said: "So, what is your intelligence?"
"Hmph, there's no information. I just wanted to lure you here so I could figure out what you want to do and what you want to do with me. I've already signed the indenture contract, but now you're leaving me here alone. What? Are you afraid of a woman like me who's lost her power?" Raven mocked.
"Hehe, since Miss Raven has no information, I have an interesting piece of information here. Do you want to hear it?" Wang Chen ignored Raven's sarcasm and asked.
"Without further ado!"
"A member of World Serpent - Raven, whose real name is Natasha Sciora, was born outside the Siberian plains and had a brother who depended on her for everything. Later, because of the Second Great Collapse, you and your people began to flee famine, and were eventually chosen by the Gray Serpent and taken to World Serpent. This is the origin of your joining World Serpent." Wang Chen said.
"So, you are here to show off to me? You found my information? Haha, it must be this guy Gray Snake who did it. Let me give you my information." Raven said.
"Do you think it was the Gray Snake that betrayed the information? Very good... Then let me continue and tell you something that the Gray Snake would not betray or does not know." Wang Chen said with a smile.
"If I remember correctly, if you World Snakes want to become cadres, you must go through a place related to awakening power - the Paradise of the Past. You call this process baptism. Then in the Paradise of the Past, if you want to be successfully baptized, you must pass the trial called 'Ying Jie'. If necessary, you must accept Ying Jie's gift and unlock the restrictions. This is also called collapse. Finally, this process is completed, and it is called metamorphosis. Am I right?"
"..." Raven was silent. The information the other party had said was already related to the origin of the World Snake. It could be said that it was the foundation of the World Snake. Gray Snake would definitely not sell out or leak such information. So how did the other party know such information?
"And our Miss Raven is obviously also a member who has passed the trial, but she is a little different from the others." Wang Chen said slowly, "You first met Mobius and passed her trial called Infinity, and she wanted to give you the gift of Yingjie. As a result, you almost stepped into the trap under her coaxing, and finally retreated in time because of your keen premonition."
"After that, you contacted Kevin through Eden, and finally obtained Kevin's consent to successfully leave this place. Therefore, you are also the only World Snake cadre who did not accept the gift and did not unlock the forbidden world. Am I wrong, Raven?" Wang Chen said slowly.
Just a few short sentences, and at this moment Raven was struck by lightning. This was something that even Gray Snake might not understand. Why did the other party know it so clearly, as if he was there and saw himself fleeing in a panic.
"You... who are you?!" Raven suppressed his fear and asked.
"You can ask Eden, Mobius, and Kevin about this question when you return to Paradise, and you will know who I am." Wang Chen crossed his arms and said slowly, "Or, next time you return to Paradise, remember to take off your hood. You may meet the second-rank hero, named Alicia. You can ask her. Ask her who I am."
"..." Raven was a little afraid of the man in front of him. He knew all the information and secrets of the World Snake. He even casually called the names of the heroes of the World Snake, just like an old friend. In addition, Gray Snake's ambiguous attitude before...
Could it be that this guy in front of me is also an old monster who has lived for 50,000 years? ? !
Chapter 253: Why take off your clothes?
Looking at the somewhat frightened look in Raven's eyes, Wang Chen knew that his show-off had worked again.
The essence of what he said above was to warn Raven and to paint himself with a layer of mystery and unknown filter to ensure that he would obey his arrangements. Looking at Raven's current situation, Raven might even regard him as an old monster similar to Thirteen Heroes.
