The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Mei Raiden armed her katana with lightning speed. As soon as she took a step, her whole body was instantly wrapped in a layer of sharp electric arcs, and then she flashed into the shadow of a big tree.

"Don't move! You—"

"what--!"

"Eh?"

Hearing that extremely familiar scream, a fierce expression suddenly froze on Raiden Mei's face.

Kiana and Bronya looked at each other and ran quickly towards Raiden Mei.

"Mei, what's wrong?"

Then, after seeing the silver-haired girl falling to the ground in an embarrassed manner, Kiana and Bronya followed in the footsteps of Raiden Mei and involuntarily stood there in a daze.

Strange - no, to Kiana, Mei Raiden and Bronya, the silver-haired girl looked quite familiar. She raised her arms to protect her face, her cold and arrogant face mixed with obvious anger: "What are you doing rushing over here all of a sudden! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! As a magical girl, you actually use a knife to attack me!"

I don’t know if it’s because the shining blade is so eye-catching, but although there is obvious anger on the face of the silver-haired girl, her constantly flashing golden eyes and forehead covered with cold sweat silently show that the girl is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Uh……"

……how to say.

Her face was clearly no different from that of the Herrscher of the Void who had brought Kiana countless nightmares, but seeing the silver-haired girl's fearful yet formidable look, Kiana and the others could not feel any hostility towards this guy.

“Damn… you…” The silver-haired girl couldn’t help but glance at the blade in Raiden Mei’s hand and shrank her neck, “You… you quickly take that dangerous thing back!”

That expression of suppressed fear and timidity inexplicably made Raiden Mei feel guilty, as if she was bullying a child.

Out of caution, Mei Raiden did not retract her weapon immediately. Instead, she put on a cold expression and asked in a stern tone: "Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear next to us?"

It would have been fine if she didn't ask this question, but as soon as she asked it, the silver-haired girl suddenly exploded.

The silver-haired girl roared and stood up suddenly from the ground:

"I should be the one asking you about this! Do you guys know that this place is dangerous? It's almost night time and you're still running into the Old City of Broken Stars. I'm really impressed! Are you all as tired of living as that Teriri guy?!"

The incomparably powerful aura caused Kiana, the End, the Origin, and the Truth, to unconsciously take a step back.

“Tsk…” After a long curse, the silver-haired girl gasped for breath and smacked her lips fiercely, “If you guys are still sane, go back to the Crescent String District right now! Live your life properly! Instead of jumping into the fire pit again and again like Teriri! Do you understand!”

Kiana blinked and asked blankly:

"So...so, the reason you came to us is because you were worried..."

"Who's worried about you guys!?"

Chapter 4: Magical Girl Rescue Plan (k)

The Crescent Moon District late at night was more prosperous than the three newcomers had imagined.

The pedestrian street dotted with lights emitted a warm yellow glow, and colorful flags fluttered in the air. After walking all the way from the forest outside the wall to the brightly lit city, the figures that were originally completely invisible in the wild also appeared in the four people's sight along with the gradually clearer noise.

What separates the Crescent String area from the forest is not a city gate in the conventional sense, but a transparent barrier that does not look thick. A huge boulder guards the intersection of the road.

The unhappy silver-haired girl turned around and glared at the three people following her with eyes full of complaints.

She raised her hand, took out a glass bottle filled with liquid and crushed it. The liquid in the bottle immediately turned into a thin layer of light mist.

Then, the silver-haired girl waved her arms and sprinkled the light mist on Kiana and the others' heads.

Because they did not sense any clear hostility, the three did not respond to the silver-haired girl's actions. Kiana, Bronya and Raiden Mei looked at each other, and then looked at the light mist surrounding their bodies.

"What is this?" Kiana asked.

"Huh?" After hearing Kiana's question, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but widen her eyes, her golden pupils filled with astonishment, "You don't even know this kind of thing, and you dare to run out of the city? What did your magic teacher teach you?"

"This is just the most basic invisibility potion. If you don't use it to block the magical perception of the stone guards, do you want to fight those monsters at the city gate?"

Although the words were merciless and the tone was full of sarcasm, after going through so many things, Kiana and the other two were no longer at the age where they acted on impulse, so they could easily hear the concern hidden in the words of the silver-haired girl.

This guy... is unexpectedly a good person. Kiana blinked her eyes and looked at the silver-haired girl with surprise in her eyes.

"Why... why are you looking at me with such disgusting eyes?" Feeling Kiana's unconcealed gaze, the silver-haired girl shrank her neck somewhat unnaturally.

"Don't use such exaggerated words." Kiana chuckled, looking very happy for some reason. Then, she suddenly changed the subject, "But is it really okay for you to bring three strangers like us to the city like this?"

The silver-haired girl turned her head and scanned Kiana and the other two in turn, finally stopping at Bronya. She pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something to Bronya, but then turned her head away and said in a stubborn tone, "What I want to do has nothing to do with you three. Don't ask about things that are not your business!"

"..." Looking at the silver-haired girl's performance, Kiana turned her head and looked at Bronya, and both saw a little suspicion in each other's eyes.

The silver-haired girl’s acting skills are not that good. Judging from the experience of getting along with her during this period of time, this cold-faced but warm-hearted girl is not the type who is good at hiding her emotions.

There was no doubt that she knew Bronya, or rather, knew someone who looked very similar to Bronya.

After knowing this, Bronya winked at Kiana, then took two steps forward and tentatively patted the silver-haired girl's shoulder.

"..." The silver-haired girl shuddered at the sudden touch on her body. She turned around abruptly and was about to explode, but her strength softened when she saw Bronya's face. She spoke in a bewildered manner, "Bro... Broro-senpai, why are you suddenly..."

Sure enough, the silver-haired girl's reaction made the three of them understand, but at the same time, another question emerged when the other party shouted the words "Senior Bulolo".

senior?

In this world, are Bronya and her senior and junior?

Moreover, if Kiana remembered correctly, the moment when Raiden Mei forced the silver-haired girl out, she should have said something like - "Are all of you as tired of living as that girl Teriri?"

The word Teriri was not unfamiliar to Kiana.

Since in the eyes of the silver-haired girl, Bronya is the so-called broro, doesn't that mean that the so-called Teriri is her aunt who is good at pretending to be young?

Apparently, Kiana was not the only one who realized this problem. After gently patting the silver-haired girl on the back, Bronya revealed a gentle smile. She said sorry to the so-called "Broro" in her heart, and then continued with the silver-haired girl's words with unparalleled acting skills: "Thank you for bringing us back, um... Sirinrin"

Xilinlin? This strange name made Kiana and Raiden Mei's eyes twitch at the same time.

It's not that they couldn't understand why Bronya called her that, but when they thought that the person referred to by that name was the Herrscher of the Void's counterpart, they felt like bursting out laughing.

"Uh..." The silver-haired girl's expression froze for a moment. Although the fact that she was praised by a senior whom she once admired made her feel a little joyful in her heart, she still felt as if something was choking her throat when she was suddenly given such a strange nickname.

That's probably what they call having a lot to complain about but nowhere to vent it.

After being stiff for a long while, the silver-haired girl reluctantly turned her face away, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her cold and ethereal face: "So, why didn't I realize before that Senior Buluo also has a hobby of giving people nicknames... You, you should still call me Xilin as before. Calling me Xilinlin... is really too embarrassing."

Oops, I guess I guessed her name wrong.

Bronya wiped a cold sweat deep in her heart.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to realize that he didn't know her, and even found an excuse for his mistake.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just a little too excited after returning to the city." Bronya curled her lips again and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "I have run out of the invisibility potion I brought with me. If I hadn't run into Celine, I wouldn't know how I would have gotten back."

Swish! The hair on Xilin's head stood up all of a sudden. She lowered her head and said awkwardly, "This is not a big deal. Even if you didn't meet me, with Senior Buluo's achievements, you can still find a way to make an invisibility potion yourself! I just... just did something within my ability."

...so cute.

Seeing that Xilin was very happy to be praised, but she was suppressing the throbbing in her heart and was unwilling to show her emotions completely, Qiana couldn't help but think in her heart.

Could it be possible that the counterpart of that guy (Hersher of the Sky) could be so cute?

Bronya smiled knowingly. If she tried to use her acting skills to get useful information from the other party at the beginning, now, after seeing through Celine's true nature, Bronya completely put herself into the role of "sister" that she once played in the orphanage.

So, as an older sister, how should I get along with a younger sister who is trying to help me?

——Of course I praised him with all my strength.

"Anyway, Celine helped me a lot." Bronya, "Bronya is very grateful to you."

The moment the words came out of her mouth, Bronya's face froze.

Damn it, I was too into the role and accidentally said my own name out of habit.

Bang, Kiana and Raiden Mei slapped their foreheads at the same time.

"Bronya...?" As expected, a trace of obvious doubt flashed across Celine's face. But just as Bronya, sweating profusely, racked her brains to think about how to get away with it, Celine suddenly slapped her palms and put on an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I know, this is the new name that Senior Brollo thought of for me!"

"Huh?" Bronya blinked, feeling that her brain was suddenly replaced by Kiana.

What does that mean? Why does she look like she understands something?

"Indeed, according to the records of the Magic Security Bureau, Senior Brolo and Senior Freya have both died in the line of duty. If Senior Brolo suddenly appears, those people will definitely send him back to the Demon King's Castle!" Celine nodded heavily. She turned her face and looked at the confused Bronya. "Senior Brolo, who has faced the Demon King, must have known the true mission of magical girls, so he tried to return to the Crescent Moon District with a completely different appearance and identity to reveal the truth about the Magic Security Bureau to other magical girls, right?"

"..."

Bronya was silent.

After a long silence, she nodded reluctantly: "Uh...yes, yes, that's what I think."

"Great! It's true!" A hint of obvious joy flashed across Xilin's face. "By the way, since Senior Buluo has already come out of the Demon King's Castle, then Senior Fuleai, is he also...?"

Freya——these three words should be the name of Seele’s counterpart in this world.

Although they could also let several Seeles on the Hyperion come to this world to pretend to be her own counterparts, after thinking for a moment, Bronya gave up the idea.

After all, the moment she came to this world, Kiana had already sensed that Seele in this world seemed to be in a very bad situation. And based on Sirin's words, if we infer, Seele - or the current situation of the magical girl Freya - was caused by the "Magic Security Bureau" of this world.

Before coming to this world bubble, Vita once said that due to the influence of "clone earth", the world bubble projected by "clone earth" in the quantum sea was in a very bad situation; but after coming to this world bubble, this world bubble was not the same as Vita said, but Xier in this world lost consciousness.

Assuming that Vita did not lie, this world was in a bad situation due to the "cloning of the earth", but it did not show it.

We can only assume that the so-called "bad situation" was forcibly suppressed by someone.

At the same time that Bronya realized this, Raiden Mei also reacted at the same time.

The two Herrs, who had made their own judgments on the current situation, looked at each other and nodded.

Kiana glanced at Bronya, then looked at Raiden Mei, her expression blank and her mind empty.

"I'm sorry, Celine." After a brief moment of communication with Raiden Mei, Bronya showed a somewhat sad expression, "Although I did escape from there, I didn't see Freya after I left there."

"How could that be?" Xilin's pupils dilated slightly.

"However, Celine, since I'm already here, it also means that Freya must have a way to get out of there like me." Bronya said calmly.

Perhaps it was because Bronya's calm voice gave Celine a considerable degree of encouragement. After hearing the other party's words, she shook her head fiercely and threw away the frustration that had just risen in her chest: "Senior Buluo is right. Since the senior has escaped from there, we can definitely help Senior Freya find a way to come back!"

"By the way, Bronya--no, Senior Bronya." After calming down, Celine looked straight at Bronya's face and suggested, "During the time you and Senior Freya are staying in the Demon King's Castle, the Magic Security Bureau has reclaimed your residence. If you... and the two people who follow you don't mind being crowded, would you like to stay at my house temporarily?"

"Besides..." After hesitating for a moment, Xilin lowered her head, "After returning from the Demon King's City, that girl Trili has been looking for a way to go back to find you, so, can you persuade her to stop doing those dangerous things?"

"Of course." Bronya nodded without hesitation, "Now that I'm back here, I can't let you continue to do those dangerous things."

"Huh..." After getting the answer, Xilin's whole body softened, and her body relaxed instantly, causing her body, which had been standing upright, to almost collapse on the ground.

Bronya quickly supported Celine: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just... so happy." Xilin straightened her legs again, "Oh, right..."

"Hey..."

She raised her hands and gently tucked her silver hair.

In an instant, in front of the three confused eyes, her silver hair turned purple from top to bottom, and the hair on both sides above her ears also stood up.

At the same time, her natural magical girl costume suddenly turned into a white shirt and hip skirt that looked like a school uniform.

“Ehhhhhhh————!?” Kiana opened her mouth wide, feeling like her jaw was about to drop to the ground, “You…you, why did you suddenly change?!”

"Hmm?" Xilin tilted her head, her face full of confusion. "Isn't it natural for magical girls to transform?"

Chapter 4: The Beginning of a Group Fight (k)

——Hyperion, bridge.

The dazzling light cast by the sun was slowly being obscured by the curved spherical surface, and the dark and strange complex patterns cast dark purple light on the pure white deck.

Bronya [Herrscher of Reason], floating in the bridge, quietly faced the porthole, silently watching the cloned Earth completely enveloped by the huge stigmata space. Her clear eyes with plum blossom-shaped patterns flashed with rapidly flowing data, taking in the high amount of information, which was more than ten times faster than theirs, into her rapidly operating brain.

At a certain moment, her childish face, which had always been a little pale, suddenly changed its expression. Her lips gently opened and closed, revealing a puzzled voice mixed with confusion and doubt:

"Strange... How come Kiana and the others who were with the captain suddenly lost their life signals..."

From the moment the "Clone Earth" and its affiliated "Stigmata Space" were completely completed, Li Shubai handed over the inspection work of the Clone Earth to two action teams.

One of the teams is responsible for entering the interior of the Stigmata space, while the other team is stationed in Hyperion outside the Stigmata space.

The team that enters the Stigmata space has no fixed members, usually consisting of three to four people. After completing one year of continuous observation, the second group will inherit their tasks.

Of course, in order to ensure that this cloned Earth is completely disconnected from the imaginary number and to prevent any uncontrolled Honkai from taking advantage of the situation, the Valkyries that enter the planet will not actively deactivate the power derived from Honkai unless they encounter extreme situations.

The inability to use the power of Honkai means the loss of those special abilities that transcend common sense. For the same reason, this nominal "mission" quickly turned into something similar to a vacation. After all, it is impossible for them to expose their superhuman strength and intelligence to this abnormal world without any special abilities. The so-called "observation" is just a precaution.

The speed of time flow in the cloned Earth is about ten times that of the original world. Conversely, if an emergency occurs in this world where the time flow rate is accelerated ten times, all reactions from the original world will inevitably be ten times slower.
