Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

Raiden Mei walked past Kiana and headed towards the car that was waiting for her.

"Cocolia, I've come to kill you."

"Even if it means staining my hands with blood, plunging me into darkness, and leaving behind the ones I love, I must kill you."

The girl's voice behind her made her even more certain of what she had to do.

She didn't want these things to involve the girl behind her; she could handle some of the tasks herself.

"To protect this city, and to protect those who might be harmed because of you in the future, I must—kill you immediately!"

The girl's determination seemed to have touched something.

Something is awakening within her, within her consciousness!

Chapter 57 Mei: Cocolia, go to hell!

Cocolia sensed that something was wrong.

Her right eyelid has been twitching since just now.

She thought of an old Chinese saying: "A twitching left eye means good fortune, a twitching right eye means bad luck."

However, she quickly dismissed the idea, dismissing it as mere superstition.

The reason she's like this must be because she's been working too hard and is exhausted, which is why her right eyelid keeps twitching. Once this incident is over, she definitely needs to take a long vacation and get some proper rest.

However, she now has a tricky problem to deal with: her daughter may have betrayed her.

All of Bronya's conversations before she was manipulated were captured by the biochip that Cocolia had implanted in her body.

She heard all the insults, like calling her scum and saying she would kill him, but she didn't care about them.

The law of the world is that the winner takes all.

As long as she succeeds, those other things are completely irrelevant.

Bronya's betrayal upset her, so when Bronya was about to agree to the other party's request, she decisively chose to activate the biochip. However, she did not expect that Bronya could not even last a few seconds in front of those people.

"Now even Bronya has fallen into their hands?" Cocolia bit her thumbnail, her face grim.

Bronya is already her strongest single unit; if even she fails, then she'll have no choice but to use Titan, or perhaps...

Cocolia looked toward a laboratory, where there was something called a Honkai Energy Reactor.

Once released, a massive amount of Honkai energy will surge forth, spreading throughout the entire Changkong City, covering it with a high concentration of Honkai energy and ultimately triggering a large-scale Honkai disaster. This will stimulate the Conqueror Gem within Raiden Mei's body, causing the Third Herrscher to descend upon the world.

"...It hasn't come to that yet. If nothing unexpected happens, those people will come here to kill me soon."

Cocolia revealed a dangerous smile.

If she were so easy to kill, she wouldn't be standing here today.

She is currently in a research lab underground at ME Corporation, where there are more than a dozen Titan mechs. These are weapons invented by Anti-Entropy to fight against Honkai, each of which is extremely valuable and possesses immense destructive power.

Cocolia wouldn't normally have been able to own so many Titan mechs, but... Raiden Ryoma's money is really useful.

"If you dare to come, I'll make sure you never leave."

Just as Cocolia finished speaking, her communicator rang, and an urgent voice from one of her subordinates came through to her ears!

"But... Lady Cocolia and the others have attacked."

"Perfect timing," Cocolia thought to herself with a cold laugh.

He then ordered, "All of you, step back and let them come to me. I will—personally take care of them!"

Even Bronya failed, and she knew that her subordinates had no chance of stopping those people.

It wasn't that Cocolia was merciful enough to prevent them from going to their deaths, but rather that time was short and the mission was urgent.

If she dragged it out any longer, she was afraid it would cause other troubles. So she decided to bring those people to her from the beginning and let her completely crush them!

However, what came through the communicator was the terrified voice of his subordinate.

"No...no! Lady Cocolia, they've arrived!"

"What? How is this possible?"

Keep in mind that it has only been a dozen minutes since Bronya went missing. How could those people have arrived so quickly in an ordinary car?

Yes, if it's an ordinary car, it really can't get there in a short time, since there are other residents in the city. But what if the person coming isn't riding a bicycle?

The dragon's wings spread from its back, slicing through the air and breaking the silence.

Looking at the horrified expressions on the faces of those below, Yu Jin smiled with pleasure.

"Do you think they might take a picture and post it online, so everyone can admire your sitting posture right now?"

Kevin, who was being carried in a princess carry by Ember, gritted his teeth and said, "Get down quickly, or Cocolia will get away."

"Fine, here we go!"

Ember threw Kevin down from a height of 30 meters.

Kevin adjusted his posture in mid-air, smashing the ground apart amidst horrified gazes, before calmly standing up.

"Did you see anything just now? Never mind, you're all in cahoots with Cocolia anyway, so I don't need to be polite with you."

Soon, screams and pain mingled together, a scene that caught the eye of Cocolia, who was checking the surveillance footage. Without any hesitation, the Titan mech was activated instantly. At that moment, Cocolia could clearly hear a huge sound coming from above her.

Cocolia immediately checked the surveillance camera above her head again and saw a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex breaking through the walls layer by layer from above. It wouldn't be long before it reached her floor.

Cocolia, who was originally very confident in the Titan mech she had created, suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy, and this unease grew stronger and stronger.

"Damn it, I can't stay here any longer!"

Cocolia immediately turned to leave. The other party probably didn't know she was there. As long as she left the basement through the secret passage and let the other party stay in the basement to play with Titan, she wouldn't need to stay here.

Right, that is it.

Cocolia's pace quickened, yet she sensed that something was amiss.

But we can't worry about that now!

Get out of here! Get out of here first!

Not long after Cocolia left towards the secret passage, the ceiling of the last floor of the basement was smashed open, and Ember fell from the sky to the ground, looking up at the Titans that surrounded him.

"That's quite a show of force." He ignored the Titans scanning him.

Ember turned his gaze to the basement, trying to find the figure, but to no avail. The fact that he didn't find Cocolia didn't frustrate Ember; instead, it brought a smile to his face.

After all... the Doctor had anticipated this situation.

"Let's deal with you guys first."

Ember pulled two swords from his backpack, pointing the spiral sword in his left hand at the group of Titan mechs.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire!

The battle is on!

"Something's not right, something's not right!" Cocolia felt like something was off.

But what exactly is wrong?

Was it because of their sudden attack?

Shouldn't she have expected this? She just didn't expect them to arrive so early.

Was it because of their overwhelming power? No!

Cocolia had seen far greater powers than they had, yet she had never felt anything so strange.

What's wrong?

Cocolia grew increasingly anxious, feeling as if she was overlooking something.

However, at that moment, a beam of light suddenly flashed and grazed Cocolia's face!

Under Cocolia's incredulous gaze, at the exit of the secret passage, a blonde girl slightly lifted her skirt towards her.

"I've been waiting for a long time, and also..." The girl smiled brightly.

"Please run away."

The next second, countless magic cannons shot towards Cocolia from around the girl.

Cocolia immediately tried to dodge, but the magic cannons seemed to have some kind of tracking ability, turning and hitting her every time she tried to dodge.

The magic bullets were not very powerful; they were like a blow from a stick.

Cocolia gritted her teeth and ran towards the exit, enduring the countless magic bullets. Just as she approached Ayaka Sajou, she suddenly pulled out a gun and fired at Ayaka. However, the bullet passed through Ayaka as if it had hit a phantom.

Just as Cocolia realized that the girl in front of her was an illusion, the girl's voice rang out from behind her.

"Aren't you going to run away yet?"

Cocolia turned her head in disbelief, looking at Ayaka Sajou, who still had a gentle smile on her face.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not some kind of monster. I'm just a regular imaginary number magic user."

-

Cocolia had no idea how she had escaped from that devilish girl.

To be more precise, it wasn't that she escaped.

She was let off the hook; more accurately, those people wanted to push her into a certain position!

The two people who appeared at the beginning were using their strength to intimidate me and make me escape through the secret passage.

The blonde girl, on the other hand, didn't care whether the other party knew about this or not, because from this point on, she could only be led by the nose by the other party.

There was one guy in that group who knew himself very well; otherwise, how could the other party be so sure of what he would encounter and what plan he would make?

Cocolia looked at the gray-haired girl waving at her, gritted her teeth, and dragged her heavy body forward again toward the last escape route.

-

Cocolia looked at the elevator in front of her. The small, enclosed space was like a coffin, waiting for her, who was about to die, to enter.

Those were her enemies, the path they chose for her. How could Cocolia not go down that path?

The footsteps behind seemed to be slowly approaching. Cocolia knew very well that it wasn't an illusion, because the blonde girl who had teased her earlier had been following her slowly at the same pace.

Now she's back, urging me to get on this elevator.

Cocolia gritted her teeth and stepped into the elevator. As she turned around, she saw a blonde girl standing at the elevator door, smiling at her and speaking gently:

"Hurry up."

Cocolia only started breathing heavily when the elevator doors were tightly closed and the blonde girl was no longer in sight.

She began to curse in the cramped space.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it, where did things go wrong? Why did it turn out like this?!"

Cocolia couldn't understand why, when she was in such a favorable situation, she had suddenly become a lapdog being led by the nose.

Just because he revealed his location?

The thought that it was her sending Bronya to chase after those people that led to her location being exposed made Cocolia almost want to kill her past self.

What can we do? What else can we do now?

The blonde girl is right outside. If she wanted to kill her, she could do it even through the elevator door, and she wouldn't have any power to resist.

She's finished. Even Cocolia couldn't imagine that she could escape.

Just then... bang bang.

There was a knocking sound outside the elevator. Cocolia looked over in alarm. The door didn't open, but the person on the other end was already urging her on.

Cocolia swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down.

"It's not time to give up... At least, at least go and see what those people really want me to face."

With trembling hands, she pressed the button for the top floor of the Me Company building, where a helicopter was parked—her last escape route.

The ground beneath her feet was still trembling, and the battle in the basement continued. As she watched the floors rise, Cocolia, who had barely managed to suppress her emotions, erupted once more.
