He turned around suddenly and saw the girl standing five meters behind Siegfried. It was none other than Hanabi who was on the streetlight.
But the strange thing is that 'Walter' on the street lamp is still there, so why does the fireworks appear behind him?
Thunder in the Sky: Chapter 23: Delusion and Illusion
"My dear, how did you become like this? You must have suffered a lot."
A familiar voice reached his ears, and Siegfried's face changed drastically. He looked up and forward. Besides Walter on the streetlight on his left and Fireworks on the road on his right, another figure appeared in his sight.
Across the road, there was the figure that Siegfried had been dreaming about: Cecilia Shaniat, the Saint of Shaniat.
"Siegfried, you're really good at hiding. Where is K423?"
After Cecilia, another familiar voice came from above.
On the wall that Siegfried was leaning against, a young man with neatly combed golden hair and a smile on his face stared coldly at Siegfried below with his emerald green eyes.
"Otto!"
Before Siegfried could recover from the shock of seeing Cecilia, the appearance of Otto made his heart tighten.
"Humanity, hypocrisy, meanness, betrayal, blasphemy, you are full of lies and calculations. Such a world has no reason to exist. Don't you agree, Siegfried?"
At the door of Lei Dian's house, long purple hair swayed in the air, and cross-shaped golden pupils stared coldly at Siegfried. Spears of the Sub-Sky appeared behind him, as if they would deliver a fatal blow at any time.
"The Second Herrscher... How is that possible?"
The Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire in his hand pointed at Cecilia, then at Otto, then at Hua Huo, and finally at Xilin.
These people who appeared one after another made Siegfried feel heavy-hearted. No matter if they were illusions or clones, Siegfried's vigilance against Hanabi reached its peak.
And this is just the beginning.
After Sielin, other people familiar to Siegfried began to appear on both sides of the road.
The Valkyrie of the Snow Wolf Squad who had fought side by side, the anti-entropy Einstein and Tesla, Theresa who wielded Judas and whose height remained unchanged, and... the young Kiana who he accidentally lost.
"No, this is not real, it's just an illusion, just an illusion."
More and more people appeared around, causing Siegfried's brain to ache.
He was not the type who was good at thinking, and the Kaslana family mostly relied on intuition in their battles.
Faced with such a complicated situation, Siegfried has completely lost the ability to think.
So, if you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. If your brain is not enough, just try it first.
Boom————
The Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire opened fire.
The upward muzzle of the gun hit Otto's head with one shot, blowing his head off.
The impact of the bullet caused Otto to fall backwards and off the wall.
The corpse fell at Siegfried's feet. Its emerald green eyes had lost their luster, but they were still staring at Siegfried.
It was clearly an illusion, Siegfried believed that everything he saw was an illusion, but why were there corpses, why was there such a real death.
No, the corpses must also be illusions, and the fireworks must be hidden in these illusions.
"You actually shot me, Siegfried! Killing the Bishop of Heaven's Fate is a serious crime. This time, no one can protect you."
He should have been shot dead, but Otto's voice rang out again, and this time, it was not just one person's voice.
At some point, all the familiar people Siegfried was facing disappeared.
There are Ottos everywhere around, on the road, on the walls, on the roadside, all the space is filled with Ottos, which makes people with claustrophobia suffer.
"Otto~ It's you who deserves to die."
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. They would be hesitant and reluctant to kill Siegfried, an acquaintance, but as for Otto, he wanted to kill him a hundred times.
Boom boom boom——
The muzzle of the Holy Judge of Skyfire's gun flashed with fire, and one Otto after another was blown away, knocked down, and shot in the head by the sound of the Holy Judge of Skyfire's gun.
Siegfried had never felt so comfortable beating someone as he did at this moment.
Siegfried stopped exhausted only after he had killed all the Ottos he could see.
In the silent night, a lone light illuminated the darkness. As the last Otto was shot dead, the bodies of Otto that had almost covered the entire road just now disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the deserted street in a daze, Siegfried stumbled and fell to his knees.
He was breathing heavily, sweat running down his forehead and dripping into his shadow.
He was not attacked, nor was he injured. This was definitely the most refreshing "battle" Siegfried had ever had in his life.
“It’s such an unforgettable scene.”
With a soft sigh, Siegfried sat down against the wall.
It was fun to fight, but the damage to his spirit was quite serious. Siegfried felt that if he went to sleep now, he would definitely dream of the dense crowd of Otto.
"It's scary that Otto has so many of them."
Looking up at the inky black night sky above his head, Siegfried muttered to himself, feeling both amused and horrified.
But he did understand one thing, Hanabi was really a little girl, but she loved to play pranks, which made her much more difficult to deal with than Kiana.
---------
"Oh my, Mr. Siegfried looks like he's having a lot of fun."
Several golden-red goldfish were surrounding him, and his bright red eyes, reflecting the flowers, took in the entire scene.
Siegfried Kaslana is indeed a hero, but heroes often grow up in pain, and their endings are often not good.
Hanabi didn't dislike a hero like Siegfried, but she definitely didn't like him either.
After all, she was a joyful firework. Hero or heroine, firework, more than anything, loved to watch fun.
The scene just now was recorded very well. I will show it to someone next time. It must be very interesting.
"Time is running out. Next, we should go find our cute little duck."
As if she had come up with some interesting idea, Hanabi smiled, narrowed her eyes, jumped up, and blended into the night.
The ability of the Twelve Bullets allows people to go back in time, but this method of traveling through time is not permanent.
The effect of the Twelve Bullets is not time travel, it just temporarily sends people to the past.
When the time energy consumed by using the Twelve Bullets is completely exhausted, the person who goes back to the past will be immediately kicked back to the original timeline.
Fireworks has already completed most of her journey, and there is not much time left.
If you want to harvest Honkai energy again, you have to speed up the process.
Going to ME Club alone to look for Cocolia was the worst decision. Who knew where that stupid fox would be hiding? What's more, it was not even certain whether the person was in ME Club or not.
Therefore, if we want to find Cocolia as soon as possible, we still have to rely on our comrade Little Duck.
In the deserted warehouse that I had visited once during the day, a petite gray-haired girl was huddled in a ball, wrapped in a small blanket, in the corner of the warehouse.
The girl's sleeping posture was alert as she leaned against the wall in the corner. Her slightly furrowed brows showed that her sleep was not peaceful.
"Xie'er."
Gentle whispers floated in the air. Even in her dreams, she still remembered the most important person in her life.
"Sister Bronya..."
The gentle girl's voice seemed to be right next to her ear. Reality and dreams overlapped with each other, bringing the girl the sweetest dream.
Thunder in the Sky: Chapter 24: A Dream
"Xie'er!"
Past experiences had made Bronya accustomed to being alert in her sleep. When the familiar voice rang in her ears, Bronya woke up suddenly.
The thin blanket draped over her body fell to the ground. Bronya turned her head and looked around, trying to find the figure she was longing for, but she was disappointed just like every time before.
How could the girl who had already been quantized and disappeared in the experiment suddenly appear in front of him?
Just as Bronya lowered her head in disappointment again, a communication was sent to her portable terminal.
Before Bronya could manually answer the call, a projection screen automatically popped up, and the person on the projection screen was Bronya's adoptive mother Cocolia.
Bronya was originally an orphan and was trained to be a young soldier. One time, she received a mission to assassinate Cocolia, but the assassination failed and she was captured by Cocolia.
At that time, Kokolia was already a famous warlord in Siberia.
But privately, Kokolia set up an orphanage to take in orphans who lost their parents in war or disaster.
After discovering that Bronya, who had tried to assassinate her, was such a young girl, Cocolia's maternal instinct was aroused. Instead of punishing Bronya, she adopted her and took her to the Cocolia Orphanage.
Bronya and her best friend Seele also met in the orphanage in Cocolia.
Although Kokolia kindly established the orphanage, she was always worried about whether the children in the orphanage could survive in this disaster-prone world.
It is precisely because Cocolia's status in the military is getting higher and higher that she is more aware that this world is hiding a terrible disaster called Honkai. She herself is a witness to the second Honkai.
Because of the experience of that disaster, Cocolia always has a strong sense of crisis in her heart, and she does not want the children she adopted to encounter such danger.
Therefore, with the support of some people, Kokolia conducted human experiments in private, and the subjects of the human experiments were the children in the Kokolia Orphanage.
Kokolia's original intention was to enable children to protect themselves when disaster strikes, but she did not realize how much harm these experiments would cause to the children.
An experimental accident caused a huge gap between Cocolia and Bronya, and that was the x10 experiment.
That experiment caused Bronya's favorite friend Seele to disappear from this world forever. The quantized Seele was expelled from the real world and fell into the quantum sea.
Now, Bronya and Cocolia are trying their best to find a way to save Seele. This time, Cocolia and Bronya carried out the operation in Changkong City in order to save Seele.
As a fellow Stigma Awakener, Raiden Mei is crucial. She might hold the key to saving Seele, and even if she fails, it could significantly advance Cocolia and the others' research on the Stigmata.
The secret of the stigmata is still unknown. Cocolia and the others only know that most stigmata holders are awakened by the stimulation of Honkai energy.
This is also the reason why Cocolia came to Changkong City and caused the collapse.
She wanted to stimulate the stigmata on Mei Raiden's body by causing a small-scale collapse, and then intensify the research on the stigmata so that they could find a way to save Seele.
"Bronya, did your mother disturb your rest?"
Projected on the virtual screen in front of her, Cocolia stood tall and straight, exuding the charm of a mature woman. She looked at Bronya with love and concern in her eyes.
If we ignore the harm that Kokolia's actions caused to the children, she truly did maintain her motherly love for the children in the orphanage.
It’s a pity that not everyone can bear this kind of love.
There is a kind of need that makes your parents feel that you need it, and there is a kind of love that makes your parents feel that you need to be loved.
Cocolia is a typical example of this. She will never understand whether her children need it or not. She will only arrogantly think that she must protect these children, even if it means hurting them.
"I'm fine. Did Cocolia's mother contact me with new orders?"
Without any displeasure or sleepiness at having her rest interrupted, Bronya looked at Cocolia on the screen with an expressionless face and asked in a tone that was flat and almost indifferent.
"Bronya, Mommy just wanted to check on you. We're not going to have canned food for dinner again, are we? Do we have enough money for the event? You can have something delicious once in a while."
There was no false concern in her eyes as Cocolia asked about Bronya's situation in a gentle voice.
"Please get down to business, Mother Cocolia. If there's nothing else, I'd like to rest."
Still looking at Cocolia's projection expressionlessly, Bronya was silent for a while, and finally responded in a cold tone.
"Okay, Bronya, we found a clue about Seele, you have to come back."
With a helpless sigh, Cocolia's face straightened and she spoke.
"Xier, there's a clue!"
Although she was so indifferent towards Cocolia just now, after hearing the news about Seele, Bronya's whole spirit was different.
The expression on her face remained relatively calm, but her eyes were filled with strong emotions, and her voice was trembling.
