Collapse, I save everything alone

"...Well, but for Bronya, more than half of what is left in this land are unpleasant memories."

The silver-haired girl replied in a low voice.

Siberia is her homeland anyway.

The unpleasant memories came from the time she was trained by the military to be a killer and lived as a boy soldier;

The pleasant memories came from the time when he was "captured" by Cocolia and taken to the orphanage to be taken care of after the failed assassination attempt on Cocolia.

She has left too many traces on this land.

Cocolia...

She once respected and loved this elder very much and regarded her as her own mother, but this time, she came here with the intention of breaking up with her.

When that time really comes...will I be able to do it myself?

She asked herself in confusion.

While Mei was talking to Bronya, Mingyu had already determined the exact location of the Anti-Entropy Fortress through the terminal on his body.

He pointed to the southwest and said to the two girls behind him:

"Go straight ahead from this direction, and that's where Uncle Longma is imprisoned."

Starting from here, it is about ten kilometers away. Environmental camouflage measures have been taken on the outside, and no traces of buildings can be seen from a distance.

"...Mingyu, what should we do next?"

Bronya asked proactively.

"About this point..."

Mingyu groaned.

As the first action, he needed to know whether Cocolia had prepared any means to deal with them, and where in the world she was hiding.

If Cocolia had not been on guard and was unaware of their intentions, then they could have easily dealt with her and rescued Raiden Ryoma while completing their own revenge;

If she had indeed received news from the gray snakes, or even communicated with them, then Mingyu's attack would most likely have been known to Cocolia and she had taken corresponding defensive measures.

In any case, it would be right to think that the other party was insidious and cunning, so he planned to use the strategy of self-torture to test it first.

After obtaining enough detailed information and determining the current situation, we can go back in time and formulate a better plan.

This is the safest solution.

[Save point], record.

The source of the traceback was determined at this moment. After doing all this, Mingyu asked the silver-haired girl beside him:

"Bronya, did you receive a reply to the message you sent to Cocolia before leaving?"

He asked Bronya to inform Cocolia about the mission to Siberia with him, and also specifically let Cocolia know his identity as a pseudo-herrscher.

——He has Feiyumaru, the Herrscher of Erosion from the previous civilization, sleeping in his body. He is now indeed a genuine Pseudo-Herrscher. Well, it’s just that the big fox is unwilling to lend him any power, so he can only be considered a mere facade.

She only has the identity of a pseudo-herrscher, but does not have the power to erode. The same was true for Yaezakura back then.

However, judging from the fact that the big fox was willing to share its power with Hiyomaru...it was not as stubborn as imagined.

In short, although he is not a perfect Herrscher like Mei, he still has a certain appeal to the old witch who is madly pursuing the power from Honkai. She will definitely not let go of this rare experimental subject.

The main reason for letting Bronya participate in this operation is to use her identity as a "spy" who is still trusted by Cocolia to make it easier for him to sneak into the anti-entropy base without using any weapons.

Without Bronya, there would be no such convenient way to sneak in, and he could only find other ways to break in.

Hearing Mingyu's question, the silver-haired girl nodded slightly and replied:

"Well, Cocolia has issued a mission order three hours ago, asking Bronya to find a way to bring you back to the base. If necessary, she can send out mecha troops to cooperate with my actions."

"Then let's do this. I'll pretend to be knocked unconscious by you, and then you'll tie me up and send me to that base."

Mingyu made up his mind.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Although there are many bases in Kokolia, the distances between them are not close.

The nearest base to their current location is the fortress where Thunder Ryoma is imprisoned.

This is the so-called "self-torture tactic". He has to go into the base first to find out the specific location of the defense force and Thunder Dragon Horse.

Then, he turned to the purple-haired girl and said:

"As for Mei, just wait until you receive my signal before attacking, okay?"

Both he and Mei have electromagnetic abilities, and can communicate directly through the air without the aid of any equipment, which is quite convenient.

Even if the Anti-Entropy soldiers took away all the equipment on him, they would still be able to get in touch with Mei at any time.

"…Well, Mingyu, Bronya, you have to be careful."

Meiyi said worriedly.

Her arrival had not yet been revealed to Cocolia, so Mingyu did not intend to let her join in the self-torture tactic.

When necessary, let this Herrscher of Thunder launch a surprise attack.

Next, if he really has to endure some physical pain, let him bear it.

Even if the future timeline could be erased and reset, he didn't want to see the girl beside him suffer.

After making up his mind, Mingyu raised his hand and shot out several bolts of lightning, causing some damage around him to disguise it as a battle scene, and also left some traces of battle on his body.

Then, Bronya took out a hemp rope and tied him up.

The silver-haired girl moved around him skillfully, tying him up tightly.

"Bronya, why are you so skilled..."

"Because this is also one of the necessary skills for a killer."

The girl answered simply.

The use of firearms, assassination techniques, and binding techniques like this are all commonplace to her.

After completing the binding, Bronya summoned the Heavy Armor Bunny for the first time in a long time.

A huge mecha appeared out of nowhere, obeyed her orders, and carefully held Mingyu in its hands.

"Former master, long time no see!~"

As soon as Mingyu was taken advantage of, Xiaotu's voice could not help but enter his mind.

It was previously sent to the engineering department of St. Freya Academy by Bronya, where it was tossed around by a bunch of researchers. It hadn't seen its owner and his friends for a long time, and it felt quite lonely.

Now that he was summoned again by Bronya, his tone was inevitably a little excited.

"The name of your former master..."

"After all, Mingyu, you returned me to Bronya. Now Bronya is my master again."

The heavy-duty bunny explained.

"Well, it should be said that it is very rigorous..."

Mingyu's mouth twitched slightly.

"Oh yes, former master, are you going to deal with Cocolia?"

Bunny asked a little excitedly.

"of course."

Mingyu answered casually.

By the way, what does an artificial intelligence like Xiaotu think of that woman named Cocolia?

In a sense, if there hadn't been Cocolia's X-10 experiment, the Heavy Armored Bunny would not have been created by Seele and given to Bronya.

"Well... I wasn't created that long ago, but from my point of view, she is the culprit who caused Bronya and Seele to fall into that situation in the past!"

The little rabbit answered decisively.

It doesn't know much about Seele and Bronya's past, but just from what it has learned from following Bronya for a year or two after its birth, it is enough to make it hostile to Cocolia.

Because of Cocolia, Bronya's brain was burned and she lost her emotions. Her originally flexible feet were also infected by Honkai energy and lost their ability to move.

Because of Cocolia, Xier was forced to drift to the extremely dangerous Quantum Sea where she could lose her life at any time, and she could not get out for a long time.

The difficulties, pains and dangers encountered by its two most important stakeholders were all caused by the old woman.

Well, the answer is quite obvious -

"Former Master, you must deal with this bad woman who bullied Seele and Bronya with a heavy punch and a heavy blow!"

Well, as expected, this is something even the Heavy-Armored Bunny knows.

Chapter 148 Degeneration & Twins

"Identity verification, Bronya Zajcek, verification passed, please enter."

Amid the emotionless, cold electronic sound, the silver-haired girl floated into the base with an expressionless face.

On both sides of the gate of this anti-entropy fortress, there are several Titan mechas standing guard. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of uniform footsteps, probably from the soldiers responsible for patrolling the base.

Bronya was no stranger to such scenes. After entering the gate, the heavy iron door behind her slowly closed.

She stayed where she was until a Titan mech next to her started up and began to guide her.

Under its guidance, the girl then came to a relatively empty hall.

Judging from the decoration style, this should be a lounge, with a coffee table and sofas, and a huge screen hanging high in the sky opposite it.

After she arrived, the screen began to flicker, revealing an appearance that Bronya was extremely familiar with.

——Cocolia.

Purple eyes, waist-length golden curly hair, tall figure. Wearing the standard military uniform of this land in the past, with a white cape with a red cotton collar on his shoulders.

"…Mom Cocolia."

Bronya said calmly.

She had been speaking in this style since she lost her emotional center, so the other party couldn't hear any difference.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, my dear daughter."

The blonde lady's eyes fell on Mingyu on the heavily armored bunny behind the girl, and she smiled with satisfaction:

"Well done, Bronya. Although we failed to capture the third Herrscher, a pseudo-Herscher is still a useful material. Leave him to me."

As Cocolia finished her words, several fully armed soldiers emerged from the shadows and walked forward.

Bronya cooperated with their actions and handed the motionless Mingyu into their hands.

"Sit down, Bronya."

After Mingyu was sent away, the blonde woman on the screen said casually.

"..."

The silver-haired girl remained silent and sat down on the sofa as Cocolia said.

In the past, she would talk to her like this every time after completing a mission for Cocolia.

However, at those times, she always stood in front of her in person.

But now it is a remote communication method... This means that Cocolia is not in this fortress.

"How long has it been since we last sat down and had a good conversation since I sent you to St. Freya's Academy?"

"…It's been over a year since Bronya left Anti-Entropy."

Bronya answered simply.

Quite a long time has passed since the disaster broke out in Changkong City.

She has changed a lot in this year.

"How is it like living in the academy over there?"

Like a conversation between mother and daughter, Kokolia asked some simple questions.

"……not bad."

Bronya saw no need to lie about this.
