(When did I run away? I have always faced everything head on, okay?)
(You're not talking about the fact that my brother never came back, right?)
(He said he was on a business trip, but there was no reply for two months... Could something have happened to him?)
"No, no, no, how is this possible?"
The moment this thought came to her mind, Bianca threw it out of her mind.
How could something happen to my invincible brother? He himself had sworn that he could survive even if the world was destroyed. Sister Chengzi had always said that Xia Chuanhu had several great points, one of which was his luck. He would not die even if the Death Eye chopped him.
I don't know what the Mystic Death Perception Eyes are, but since Sister Orange uses it to compare it, it must be something extremely powerful, right?
To sum up, Bianca felt that the possibility of something happening to her brother was not even one in a hundred thousand.
"Instead of worrying about my brother, I might as well play more games... No, I should read more books."
"School starts tomorrow, so I should really do some reading. If my brother isn't around, what am I going to do with my grades?!"
Bianca suddenly thought of a cruel question she had to face.
41. The three great families become the Blue Sea duo
Kokolia Orphanage, Siberia.
"Ninety-eight... ninety-nine..."
In the small sports stadium built specifically for children by Cocolia, a petite figure is doing push-ups one after another.
"--one hundred."
A full 100 push-ups, even some adults may not be able to finish them, but for the girl, it is just a fixed daily training content.
Next to the girl, Cocolia, who was dressed in a military uniform, looked at the child she adopted with some helplessness: "Although I have told you more than once, you really don't take it seriously. Excessive exercise may cause problems with your physical development."
"You are only 12 years old, don't abuse your body, Bronya."
"Bronya knows, Mother Cocolia."
The girl named Bronya stood up and wiped the sweat off her face. She nodded slightly and said, "However, Bronya has not undergone excessive physical training. The training content is also quite scientific and suitable for a girl of Bronya's age. Mother Cocolia does not need to worry."
"Besides, moderate exercise is good for your health. Mom, you sit in the office for a long time, so it's best for you to exercise regularly."
"You're still worried about me?" Cocolia was amused by her adopted daughter. "Unfortunately, I'm in very good health, much better than a little girl like you. I've been persisting in both basic physical training and yoga classes."
After all, she is a former soldier. Cocolia knows very well that her body is the capital that supports her in all activities. So even though she is already a aunt in her thirties, she has not fallen behind in body management and can definitely compete with those young girls of 21 or 22.
Even if compared with a 12-year-old girl like Bronya, she is far ahead.
"Compared to this, you haven't forgotten, right? Today is the day you and Xi'er are leaving. A special plane will come to pick you up in a while."
"Yes, Bronya remembers."
"Why don't you take a shower? Then change into some decent clothes and wait with Xi'er? I used my connections to get you admission to St. Freya's College."
Having said that, since St. Freya's College had just started and there were not many students, Cocolia only tried to talk to Theresa about it, and Theresa agreed immediately. The matter was even upgraded to another formal cooperation between Destiny and Anti-Entropy after many years.
It was obvious that Cocolia's original intention was just to provide the children with a suitable learning environment.
"So, Bronya and Seele are really needed to serve as spies inside Sentient, right?"
Bronya nodded seriously.
"Although I haven't received any spy training, Bronya will complete the mission. Please rest assured, mom."
Cocolia: “….”
Listening to her good daughter talking to herself, Cocolia couldn't help but hold her forehead.
In the past seven years, because Xia Chuanhu seemed to care about Bronya, Cocolia also paid a lot of attention to this child. It can be said that she was the focus of training in the orphanage under her name. And during their time together, Cocolia was also very satisfied with her.
Perhaps because she experienced things in Siberia since childhood, Bronya behaved much more maturely than her peers. At a young age, she became the recognized big sister in the orphanage. The children all regarded her as an older sister who they could go to for help when they encountered troubles.
And Bronya did not disappoint the children's trust. When Cocolia was away, it was Bronya who cooperated with the managers of the orphanage to take care of the children.
But there was one thing that gave Cocolia a headache, and that was the current situation - she didn't know if Cocolia had not taught her well in some way, or if Bronya had seen some weird things herself, and she often had some "unnecessary" thoughts.
Although thinking too much is not a bad thing, and thinking more about everything is also a manifestation of caution, but she is only 12 years old this year!
A 12-year-old child is so mature. Cocolia is really worried about whether Bronya can get along with other students in St. Freya Academy. It will be troublesome if she is isolated.
"...Forget it. I'll talk to Xi'er later and ask her to help you a little."
"Also, if you have the chance, remember... to help me keep an eye out for news about Xia Chuan inside Tianming."
Xia Chuan.
Bronya remembered this last name. After all, in the seven years since she was adopted by Cocolia, she would see a handsome blond big brother with this last name coming to the orphanage to play with them every once in a while. Although he only came for a day or two each time, the children all liked him very much.
Moreover, Bronya knew that Cocolia's mother also liked him very much and always wanted him to become the "father" of the children.
However...the second half of the sentence still made Bronya look a little confused: "Pay attention to news about Brother Xiachuan? Why?"
"That guy hasn't been here for a while, and I don't know what he's been doing." Cocolia said, "I've sent him messages every week for the past two months, but he never responded. Although I don't think anything will happen to him, if possible, you should help me investigate it - it's a confidential mission, don't let Xier know."
"Of course, don't take it too seriously. The most important thing is your and Xier's studies. If I knew that you two weren't doing well in school..."
Snapped!
Cocolia stamped the ground with her toes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
But Bronya was not moved at all: "Mom, I always rank first in various tests in the orphanage. Seele has always been above average, so I don't think you have to worry at all."
"The level of education provided by Tianming is totally different from the preschool education provided by our orphanage. You should not take it lightly."
"Bronya knows."
"That's good - go take a shower and change your clothes, Xier and I will be waiting for you at the door." After saying that, Cocolia turned around and prepared to leave.
But before she left, Bronya stopped her and said, "Mom, Bronya has something else to verify about the secret mission just now."
"what?"
"How much information do we need to collect about Brother Xiachuan? Do we need to collect a series of information about Brother Xiachuan, including his daily schedule, living habits, and hobbies?"
"... Just collect them appropriately."
Cocolia held her forehead again.
Bronya nodded to show that she understood, and quickly turned and walked towards the shower room near the stadium.
On the wall not far away, an electronic clock is showing the current time.
【2012年 8月30日 中午13时49分】
42. Walter and the Abyss City
North America, Anti-Entropy Headquarters.
In the leader's exclusive training room.
"Hu~~~Hu~~~Hu~~~"
Walter Yang, wearing a training suit, was sitting on a bench, panting and sweating profusely, as if he had just finished a strenuous exercise.
Beside him, Thunder Dragon Horse held a tablet computer in his hand and said, "The latest data has been calculated. Lord Alliance Leader, your strength has recovered to 80% of its peak. If you continue to train for about 6 months, you should be able to fully recover."
"Really? This is indeed good news."
Walter wiped the sweat off his body.
During the second Honkai Impact 12 years ago, Walter Young sacrificed his life to fight against the Second Herrscher. Although he survived in the end, he has been suffering from the aftereffects ever since. Not only has his physical function been greatly reduced, but his ability to use the Herrscher's power and his resistance to Honkai Impact 1 have also dropped to a very dangerous level.
And now, twelve years later, his years of rehabilitation have finally paid off.
(If it's six months... around February next year?)
(I really hope that something like the Herrscher's advent won't happen in the last six months.)
After experiencing the battle twelve years ago, Walter knew very well how powerful the Herrscher was. If the third Herrscher came into the world before he fully recovered, he would definitely not be able to compete with it with his current body that had not yet fully recovered.
"...Ryoma, how is the recent Honkai incident going?"
Suddenly, Walter mentioned something about work.
Thunder Ryoma had a bitter look on his face: "Not very optimistic. In the area of responsibility of Anti-Entropy, there have been a total of 4 Emperor-level Honkai attacks in the past two months, in addition to a total of 33 medium-sized Honkai and small Honkai. To be honest, Anti-Entropy has been a bit too busy recently."
"Really? Sorry for leaving all these things to you." Walter showed a trace of apology on his face, "Now I have almost recovered. If there are medium-sized collapses or above in the future, leave them all to me to handle."
"Why do I hear an idiot talking nonsense when I just got here?!"
As soon as Walter finished speaking, Tesla's loud voice came from the door of the training room.
Tesla took two steps at a time and came to his leader. He poked his forehead unhappily and said, "You have finally recovered to this point. If you start a high-intensity battle right away, your body will collapse again sooner or later! Wouldn't that mean that all the efforts of the previous twelve years would be in vain?"
"Use your brain more! Joachim, you idiot!"
If there was something at hand to hit his head with, Tesla really wanted to hit Walter's head hard - after all the things they had experienced, why didn't he feel that his character would get him killed?
Walter, who was scolded by Tesla's thunderous rebuke, smiled and said, "Indeed, I'd be sorry for you. But if there really comes a situation where you can't fight alone, I will help even if it costs my life."
"You! Me! You—"
Tesla's face turned red with anger.
At the same time, Einstein also came over: "Give up, Dr. Tesla, this is the character of the leader, you should have known it a long time ago."
"Ain...you and Tesla came to my place together, which means something must have happened?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, leader. You may need to fulfill what you said just now - please look at this." Einstein handed a report in his hand to Walter, "Do you remember the pre-civilization ruins we found in the Mariana Trench a few years ago?"
Walter nodded: "What happened to the ruins?"
"Due to the recent frequent Honkai incidents, we have temporarily neglected the situation over there. But just now, when I took the time to check, I found that the investigation team over there has lost regular contact since a month ago, including the executive officer who led the team." Einstein explained, "And according to the data they uploaded, in the last investigation, the investigation team had entered the ruins - [Haiyuan City]."
"Although it is not appropriate to rashly let you, the top fighter, leave at this critical juncture, but for safety reasons, I hope you can go and take a look at the situation."
"no problem."
Walter agreed immediately.
If it was just an investigation, he could handle it even though he hasn't fully recovered yet. What's more, even if something unexpected really happened, he still had a trump card that he had never used.
"By the way, Ain, Tesla, there's still no news about him?"
Walter asked after taking a look at the somewhat dim red lines on the back of his hand.
Tesla and Einstein shook their heads.
"Not at all. Chicken Coop Head and I called him before, but the one who answered the phone was his woman named Vita. I heard that he encountered some urgent matters and would be away on a business trip for about half a year - but this is probably an excuse. How could a monster that is no different from a moving natural disaster take him more than half a year to deal with?"
"However, according to the reports from Anti-Entropy's spies inside Tianming, Xia Chuan has not appeared at Tianming headquarters in the past two months. It seems that he has really disappeared from the face of the earth."
"Is it......"
Holding his hand engraved with the Command Seal tightly, Walter took a deep breath: "It seems that Xia Chuan really has something important to do and can't get away. Although I don't know what happened to him, it may force him to leave for a long time. I'm afraid it's a big deal that is far beyond our capabilities."
"In that case, we should also do our own thing - Longma, could you please make relevant preparations for the investigation?"
"Understood, Leader."
Thunder Ryuma immediately stood up and saluted Walter, then quickly turned and left.
As Tesla watched him leave, he seemed to remember something: "Speaking of Longma, the ME Club he is in charge of...is it together with Tianming's Saint Freya Academy?"
"Well, it's in the same country, but not the same city. ME Club is in Changkong City, and St. Freya Academy is in Canghai City. What's wrong?"
"Didn't Cocolia submit an application before? She said she was going to send her two children to school there. I wonder if Ryoma's daughter can be sent in, too."
The daughter of Raiden Ryoma.
Walter thought for a moment and said, "I remember her name was...Raiden Mei, right?"
"Correct."
"This is not a good proposal, Dr. Tesla." Einstein shook his head. "I don't think Ryoma would want his daughter to have too much to do with Honkai, but even so... Miss Mei is the owner of the Conquest Gem. If she is sent to the Destiny, it may cause some unnecessary troubles. At least, Otto will definitely not sit idly by after learning about it."
When the name Otto was mentioned, Tesla curled his lips and said, "That damn golden retriever... ahhhhhh~~~~ I get angry when I mention him. I'm going to go beat up the sandbags a few times."
"Moderate exercise would be a good thing for you, Dr. Tesla."
