I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　"Well, my companions are still in the upper area. It should be about half a day before they come down, so I need to take a break and go take care of my business here."

　Lingmo patted Clara's head and said softly.

　After all, although Suzuma can speed up the completion of the main storyline, it does take time for Bronya's mindset to change. Only after personally witnessing the state of the lower districts can she make up her mind to launch a "glorious rebellion against her mother."

　Furthermore, Suzumo needs Bronya to stay in the lower district a little longer so that she can gain her trust and make the next step of her plan easier.

　So, before that, she could use the half-day she saved by "persuading" Swallow to deal with the issues on Honkai Impact 3rd.

　"Hmm... So, it's time for you to sleep, sister? Well, you did spend all night repairing the automatons last night, so you really should be sleeping..."

　Although Clara seemed to have misunderstood something, Suzumo was quite happy about it. Then, she turned to Schwarz and gave him an order.

　"Swarovski, during my hibernation period, you need to follow these three instructions. As for how to execute them, that's up to you."

　"First, I need you to reopen negotiations with Earthfire and contact my partners. I have already sent their information to your storage space."

　"Secondly, regarding the news about the star core, you need to wait until I wake up before announcing it to them. However, even if I am in hibernation, it is unlikely to exceed twelve hours, so this is just in case."

　"Finally, protect my hibernation pod while I'm asleep... Don't tell anyone else my location except the train crew."

　"The instruction has been entered into the log and will take effect immediately."

　"Ah That's good."

　After settling things at the mechanical settlement for the time being, Lingmo opened the hibernation pod and lay down inside.

　The reason she rushed to Honkai Impact 3rd was because, according to Xiaoqi's previous statement, the spacetime environment on Earth had fluctuated again, which would cause Suzuma's flow speed between the two worlds to increase temporarily.

　The last time this happened, she only stayed on the space station for less than two days before "skipping" fourteen years of the storyline. But this time... she stayed in Belloborg for a full day.

　As for the other reason... just now, the system sent a notification requesting manual intervention.

　"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, what's going on with Honkai Impact? Why is there a message saying 'Proxy Command Error'?"

　Oh, actually, there wasn't any mistake, it's just that something important happened that requires your personal attention.

　Customer service representative Xiaoqi spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

　"So... what is it?"

　[Well, basically, you might have to fight Cocolia in two worlds at the same time.]

　Do you remember the anti-entropy intrusion incident?

　……

　After Xiaoqi's reminder, Lingmo quickly realized what time period the Honkai Impact 3rd world was in.

　Yeah, that was probably the time when Cocolia was at her most energetic.

　Perhaps because of the great progress made in cloning Joyce (referring to the creation of a bunch of super-male, low-intelligence Vasily), coupled with the assistance of the mysterious organization World Serpent, Cocolia, who believed that she had completely mastered the power of the First Herrscher, decided to raid St. Freya and seize the Third Herrscher core from Mei.

　The story takes place around April 2015, meaning that this change in time and space caused Suzumo's time to jump by about a year.

　This made Lingmo feel fortunate that she had unlocked the hosting function in advance. Otherwise, if she suddenly disappeared for a year, her favorability towards Anti-Entropy would not be a problem, but St. Freya would probably be directly expelled by Theresa.

　Oh, but if Suzuma really leaves without saying goodbye, Kiana will probably feel guilty, after all... cough cough, some amusing little things happened that night, and Kiana seems to have misunderstood her own actions.

　"So, I can just go there now?"

　[Yes, the moment you enter the Honkai Impact 3rd server, the system will automatically transfer your memories from the time you were in the "controlled" period. The memories will be transferred in a vague state, similar to a compressed file.]

　However, taking advantage of this opportunity to manage the children, I pasted in several fragments of events from the first playthrough as connecting points... Well, you probably wouldn't understand explaining this, so to put it in more familiar terms, I implanted several memories from the first playthrough into them at appropriate times to solidify the connection between the first and second playthroughs.

　"Uh... so, why explain this?"

　Lingmo scratched her head: "Is it because those memories are important?"

　No, they're just some everyday snippets. It's precisely because they're unimportant that I was able to implant them as anchor points. However, having these memories means that in their consciousness, these events actually happened, so I mixed these snippets into the managed memories and sent them to you. Don't be too surprised.

　"It's just everyday memories from the first playthrough, what's so surprising about that..."

　What I mean is... if you suddenly realize that your performance in your memories is a bit 0, remember not to cut it off, because you really were that passive in your first playthrough.

　"?"

　Lingmo slowly typed out a question mark, but the mischievous customer service representative Xiaoqi didn't give her a chance to continue asking questions and instead activated the teleportation directly.

　[Memory transfer is currently underway during the managed period...]

　Instantly, a flood of memories rushed into Lingmo's mind, most of which were daily life events, such as attending classes once or twice a week and going to the Anti-Entropy Base to see Bella, etc., which were basically not very informative.

　"Let me see those first-runtime clips that Xiaoqi mentioned..."

　Lingmo randomly clicked on a ball of light.

　"Oh, you're playing games with Bronya? That's normal... Wait, what game are you playing?"

　Seeing the explicit images on the game console screen, and her own blushing and heart-pounding expression as she sat in front of it, occasionally teased by the duck in her arms, Lingmo couldn't bear to look and covered her eyes.

　"Okay... it was just being teased by Yaya. After all, Yaya's an old hand, so it's normal. Now let me see what Mei has to do..."

　The ball of light that Mei produced restored a lot of confidence to Suzuma, because it contained the story of Mei accidentally cutting her hand, and Suzuma sucking on Mei's finger to stop the bleeding.

　Judging from what I remember, I was probably teasing Mei. Sigh, that's how it is with Mei.

　"And then there's... Kiana... wait?"

　Lingmo stared at the screen in disbelief.

　"What do you mean I played Truth or Dare with Kiana, and then we both chose to eat Pocky cookies from opposite sides at the same time, and Kiana not only ate all the cookies, but also cleverly snatched the one from my mouth?!"

　"Is Kiana really that 1?! No, I should say, am I really that 0?!"

　"I refuse to accept this! This is the first playthrough, I want to cut it off!"

　[Hmph... stubborn as a mule, so cute~]

　Chapter 93 Lingmo: That's easy, I'll just be Walter, won't I?

　After receiving the memories, Suzumo opened her eyes in her dormitory.

　"Great, I woke up in the morning again... Looks like I don't need to go back to sleep right after this nap."

　Feeling the sunlight on her face, Lingmo inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

　After all, she had actually encountered a situation before where she was teleported to the Honkai at 3 a.m. and found that it was also 3 a.m. here.

　"There's a message from Ai-in on the terminal... She probably wants to tell me about Cocolia and asks me to check the log... I don't have class today."

　After confirming that her schedule was not significantly different from what she remembered, Lingmo dialed Aiyin's contact number.

　"Aiyin, what happened?"

　"Yes, we have obtained reliable intelligence."

　Ai's voice was somewhat low: "Tonight, Cocolia will attack St. Freya Academy to seize the Herrscher of Thunder core from Raiden Mei."

　"The situation is urgent, and we also want to take this opportunity to carry out some operations, so please come over quickly."

　A few minutes later, Anti-Entropy established a temporary base near St. Freya.

　"Actually, I have a question."

　Lingmo took the milk tea that Bella, dressed in a maid outfit, brought her, and raised her hand first, saying, "Why don't we just hold the meeting inside St. Freya like before? Anyway, the chances of Theresa finding out are probably not as high as the chances of her not sneaking around reading comics in her office all day."

　"That's a good question, and that's the first thing we want to tell you."

　Tesla sighed: "We don't really need to worry about Theresa, but we do need to worry about Otto."

　"You might not believe it, but just recently, our staff in the Far East saw a... well, how should I put it, a blond little boy who looked very familiar to us near St. Freya."

　"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I know what you mean."

　Lingmo immediately covered her face: "Does Theresa not recognize that child at all?"

　"Hey, it seems you know Theresa quite well, Lingmo."

　Tesla shrugged: "So, it's fine for less important things normally, but for confidential discussions like this one, we feel more at ease keeping them at our own base."

　"Alright, alright, now that Lingmo is fine, let's get down to business."

　Ai Yin sighed: "Just last night, Cocolia, through the leader's clone, falsely issued an order to attack St. Freya today."

　"Although Cocolia was aware of our cooperation with St. Freya and even with Schicksal, she was certain that we wouldn't dare to make it public, which is why she went to such lengths to achieve her goal and, incidentally, annoy the conservatives."

　"But why can't it be made public?"

　"Because given the current state of anti-entropy, we cannot guarantee that there are no so-called moles among the radical faction."

　At this point, Walter picked up the conversation: "This... should be considered a side effect of the special management system of anti-entropy."

　"In the early days of Anti-Entropy, in order to rapidly expand Anti-Entropy's power and gain the strength to fight against Destiny, we created this organizational system called the Executors."

　"The advantage of this system is that it is completely unafraid of the infiltration and destruction of destiny, because all destruction of anti-entropy will stop at the node of a single executor. Above the executor, there is only the leader himself who has a one-way communication. And between the executors, unless there is an order from the leader, they are not allowed to communicate with each other."

　"In the early days, before I retired to recuperate, this mechanism was very effective. The attacks by Destiny, apart from symbolically destroying the forces of a few Executors, did not cause any serious damage to Anti-Entropy. They didn't even know if they had destroyed the forces of an Executor, because the Executors had no connection with each other and therefore could not verify it."

　"However, after the second Honkai, I was seriously injured and retired. Anti-Entropy also began to split into conservatives and radicals, and this mechanism no longer worked... At that time, Einstein and Tesla were focused on reviving me and healing me, and they neglected to manage the situation of Anti-Entropy, which led to the current situation."

　"In other words, the radical anti-entropy faction has now completely broken free from the control of anti-entropy?"

　Lingmo immediately became eager to try.

　"That's not it."

　Ai Yin shook her head slightly: "As mentioned before, due to the Entropy Executor System, even in the current situation of the two factions being divided, the Entropy Executors are not too familiar with each other. Among the radical faction, there are still some members who are just more radical in their thinking."

　"But correspondingly, there are also some who use radicalism as a pretext to satisfy their own desires."

　“In the past, we could have dealt with these people one by one, but now that the Alliance Leader’s strength has been weakened and he is ostensibly ‘missing,’ with Cocolia’s mediation, these kinds of people are indeed difficult to deal with.”

　"After all, although we don't want to admit it, a large part of Anti-Entropy's Titan forces are indeed in the hands of the radicals. If one thing is done, it will affect the whole situation. We must also prevent the possibility of Anti-Entropy splitting up."

　"I think I understood."

　Lingmo nodded.

　"Right now, because Mr. Walter's strength has not yet recovered, and also because the strength of the radicals and conservatives is not equal, you have no way to deal with Cocolia's open schemes."

　"So, you plan to adopt a defensive counter-attack strategy, continue Cocolia's offensive first, and then make further plans, right?"

　“That’s right. According to Ai Yin’s idea, in this Cocolia’s anti-entropy invasion plan, we can formally cooperate with Theresa while ensuring that St. Freya Academy is not harmed. It can be considered a blessing in disguise.”

　Walter pushed up his glasses and said, "After all, Cocolia doesn't know that the missing leader of Anti-Entropy is currently working as a history teacher at St. Freya Academy."

　"So……"

　Lingmo gently tapped the table: "If Mr. Welt were to regain his full strength at this moment, or rather, if I could temporarily simulate Welt in his prime, would you dare to make a move against Cocolia?"

　"Then... how can we avoid the possibility of reverse entropy splitting as a result?"

　After a moment's thought, Ai Yin did not directly deny it, but instead asked.

　“Note that I am referring to Cocolia, not the radicals.”

　Lingmo smiled slightly: "After her invasion of St. Freya ends, we can have the Alliance Leader take action personally, using this as a pretext to 'punish' Cocolia and some of the radical executors you mentioned who have ulterior motives. After all, we're just dealing with the matter at hand, not targeting the radicals."

　"After this punishment is completed, I will control Cocolia through the power of erosion, so that she will take the initiative to admit her mistakes and submit to the leader. In my opinion, the internal 'obedience' is still very high, provided that the leader is indeed Walter in his prime."

　"And in the eyes of the other members, this kind of treatment would also be seen as a 'reprimand' - it's reasonable for the newly awakened leader to give Cocolia, who was the most unruly during his slumber, a stern warning, right? After all, the leader didn't even imprison or expel her, he just made her reflect on her actions and have her come out the next day to apologize."

　"As for how to restore Walter to his prime..."

　A card appeared at Lingmo's fingertip, featuring a figure that everyone recognized.

　"It's simple, I'll just be Walter, won't I?"

　Chapter 94 Gray Snake: The only value of this kind of teammate is helping me catch Suzumo.

　"You'll be...Walter?"

　Ai Yin was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

　"One of the abilities of the Herrscher of Corruption is that as long as data can be obtained, one can briefly 'mimic'."

　Lingmo smiled slightly and said the explanation she had prepared beforehand regarding the character card's abilities: "When I occasionally go out, I also do some archaeological digs of pre-civilization ruins, so I have a rough idea of ​​the data on the first Herrscher of the previous civilization."

　"Adding Mr. Walter's own ability data, I can completely simulate an eroded version of Walter in a short period of time, and the ability performance will be almost exactly the same."

　"Mr. Welt is limited by his physical condition and cannot exert his full power, but I am different. What I use is not the ability of the Herrscher of Reason, but the data mimicry of the Corruption."

　"So strictly speaking, the eroded version of Welt that I simulated might be even more powerful than Mr. Welt himself. After all, my abilities are more diverse."
