Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

No matter what she had experienced before, Bronya would not refuse if someone wanted to discuss games with her.

So after that, while Kiana looked as if she had seen a ghost, Fu Hua began to frequently talk to Bronya about game issues.

Fu Hua has her own explanation for this.

"Learning increases day by day, while pursuing the Dao decreases day by day; different paths lead to the same destination. Whether studying or playing, the effort required to reach a sufficient level is the same, so it should not be neglected, and even less should it be perfunctory."

Having said that, Fu Hua pushed up her glasses, looked at Kiana, and lectured her calmly,

"Of course, if you become obsessed with it and fixated on winning or losing, you'll fall into inferiority and the gains won't outweigh the losses."

"..."

Bronya looked at her good friend who was once again so angry that she jumped up and down. She felt that there was a problem in the communication between the two of them, but she felt it was difficult for her to say anything.

After spending some time together, during an online game, Fu Hua felt the time was almost ripe, so she asked with some doubt,

"I don't know why, but I feel like Bronya-san isn't very enthusiastic about games."

As he said this, he seemed to be afraid of being too presumptuous, and quickly added,

"Ah, maybe it's just my illusion..."

Bronya fell silent after being asked this question.

"Bronya-san?"

Noticing Bronya's silence, Fu Hua looked at her puzzledly and asked.

"If you have anything to ask, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Bronya put down the controller and said seriously,

"Going to such great lengths to test things out isn't the way classmates should interact with each other."

Bronya had always been very intelligent, with keen observation and intuition. Rather than letting the monitor approach her step by step and test her, it would be better for her to bring up the topic directly.

"I didn't mean to test you, Bronya-san. You misunderstood."

Fu Hua explained slowly,

"It's just that I've noticed that Bronya-san seems to be preoccupied lately, and I'm worried that asking too hastily might cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so I have no choice but to resort to this indirect approach."

For her, as long as the result can be achieved smoothly, the process does not matter.

"Bronya, is it... so obvious?"

Bronya was stunned for a moment.

"No, Bronya-san hid it very well. It's just that I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I can detect subtle changes in other people's breathing, so I was vaguely aware of it."

Fu Hua sincerely lied,

"Bronya-san is reluctant to speak out, so she must have some difficulties. That's why I didn't approach her rashly... But I am your class monitor after all, and it is my duty and responsibility to care for and look after my classmates, so I resorted to this unfavorable measure. I apologize if I have offended you..."

"...No, thank you, squad leader."

Bronya curled up her knees and curled up into a small ball.

"Did something happen? If it's convenient, please tell me."

Fu Hua strikes while the iron is hot.

"Me, Mr. Himeko, and the principal, we will all help you."

Bronya shook her head in bewilderment. How could she help her?

Help her find and catch Lin Wei?

But what was the point of finding him, catching him, and bringing him to himself?

After all, he is not Xier...

After so many days, Bronya gradually accepted the reality - "It's time to wake up from the dream."

"Alas...it's so tiring to carry on alone."

Sensing the fragility of the girl beside her, Fu Hua couldn't help but froze for a moment, then her heart softened and she said softly,

"If you don't want others to know, can you tell me? I'll help you find a solution. Okay? Don't worry, Bronya-san, I won't tell anyone else without your permission."

Fu Hua said this, giving her a firm smile and trying her best to comfort her.

As a "spy" with ulterior motives, Fu Hua actually feels a little guilty towards these innocent girls. The longer they spend together, the deeper that guilt becomes and the more it affects her feelings.

Bronya slowly turned her head to look at her, hesitated for a moment, and said,

"It's my sister...a sister I've been separated from for a long time...Bronya misses her very much, but...she can't be found...Someone brought Bronya news of her, and then...disappeared again...Bronya doesn't feel sad...but she feels so lonely..."

Bronya also wanted to find a place to talk, but Kiana and Mei were too close, and she didn't want to make them worry about her. The class monitor, who was relatively familiar but not that close, might be a good choice.

Bronya spoke briefly, and Fu Hua just played the role of a listener, not expressing any opinions or asking any further questions.

After a while, Fu Hua left Bronya's dormitory and returned to her own dormitory.

As soon as she closed the door, her expression became uncertain. She received a somewhat unexpected answer.

"Lin Wei? What does that guy want to do now?"

Chapter 80: Suspicion

"Lin Wei? What does that guy want to do now?"

Fu Hua never expected that she would lead the clues to him just after her investigation.

Although Bronya's story was very brief, mainly about her longing for her "sister", she only mentioned the person who brought the "message" in passing. Obviously, to her, this person himself was not very important, but this was enough for Fu Hua, who was also a "victim of herself", to have sufficient associations -

This style of suddenly appearing with important bargaining chips that the other party cannot refuse, and then suddenly disappearing on their own;

Plus, the few times that guy appeared in Bronya's story...

These all happen to overlap almost completely with someone in my memory, and I hardly give them a second thought.

What's wrong with that guy again?

Fu Hua was somewhat confused and doubtful.

He said he didn't want to cause trouble, but he ended up provoking Anti-Entropy and then came into contact with Bronya...

What on earth was he planning? Didn't he know that St. Freya's Academy was a place you couldn't touch?!

Otto must have noticed that something was wrong with Bronya, but he wasn't quite sure, so he asked him to investigate nearby?

Did you take all this into account and that’s why you act so recklessly?

You think I'll cover up for you?

She even felt a little amused by the anger. Things should only happen once and not twice. Don't push it too far!

Fu Hua's mind has always been calm, and these angry emotions were only fleeting, and then turned into a helpless sigh.

Because she found herself in a real dilemma.

Continue to cover up for Lin Wei? No way.

If he is allowed to continue to act recklessly, and if it causes any serious impact on the progress of Kiana's Herrscher experiment, it will provoke an even more violent reaction from Otto, and the consequences will only become more dire.

But if he honestly fulfilled his duties as a tool, did nothing, and reported his findings to Otto truthfully, it would only immediately lead to another drastic consequence.

Because Lin Wei holds the Key of Erosion; moreover, he is also a madman who acts violently!

As for what kind of collision will occur between these two lunatics?

Fu Hua didn't look forward to this kind of thing at all, and even wanted to avoid it as much as possible, because it couldn't possibly be a good thing!

"Ugh……"

Fu Hua felt like she was trapped in her own web and ended up being caught between these two guys. It was really unlucky.

"and many more……"

Suddenly, Fu Hua had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and realized a place that she had missed -

"Bronya said that she first came into contact with Lin Wei a year ago... That was around the time he was being eroded by Honkai energy, which was also around the time I went to investigate him, a little earlier than that..."

After that, Lin Wei was taken away by the World Snake and disappeared from the world for a while.

but……

Fu Hua folded her arms, thinking carefully.

"Why don't I have much impression of this?"

Back then, when Lin Wei's consciousness had sunk into the stigmata space, Fu Hua had read Lin Wei's memories almost completely;

Then, before parting, he stripped away most of this part of his memory and returned it to Lin Wei;

In order to ensure the strictness of the stripping, she even couldn't remember why she wanted to strip this memory.

"Did I separate this section of memory as well?"

Fu Hua was once again in doubt.

"But... why would I do this? What on earth did I see in that guy's memory?"

There are only two criteria for stripping yourself of memories: either it is not important; or it is extremely important.

And she vaguely remembered that the memory she had returned to Lin Wei for safekeeping obviously belonged to the latter; precisely because of its importance, she chose to forget it.

And I will return it to him, which also proves the trust I have in him when I made this decision.

"Lin Wei, will you betray my trust?"

Fu Hua muttered to herself.

For some reason, she was reluctant to touch this word that caused her pain, although she also couldn't remember why.

"Or is it because I'm too prejudiced, and there's actually someone else behind this Bronya incident?"

At this point, Fu Hua found that her thoughts were becoming increasingly confused and she could no longer think deeply. So, she decided to do something.

He took a deep breath, took off his glasses, wiped them, adjusted his mood, then walked out of the dormitory as usual, turned the corner and walked outside.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in."

In the office, Walter, an ordinary teacher who was carefully correcting the test papers, looked up and saw Fu Hua pushing the door and walking in.

"Mr. Walter, I have something to ask you."

Fu Hua spoke calmly, using the address to indicate her purpose.

"I want to know where Lin Wei is now after contacting you. I have something I want to ask him in person."

She made up her mind that if Walter didn't know the answer, she would ask Bronya.

The young girl who used to be constantly consumed by internal friction and lacked independent thinking, after experiencing the ruthless trials of fifty thousand years, had already learned to be positive and proactive despite her usual silence.

………………

Manila, Philippines.

"Compared to floating islands high in the sky, this feeling of being up close and personal with the earth and ocean is simply amazing!"

The midday sun was a bit hot. Anna took Yuno to rest on a beach shaded by trees. Each of them held a glass of freshly squeezed coconut juice and comfortably enjoyed the warm breeze under the shade of the trees. They picked up the straw and took a small sip carefully.

"It's just that the taste of this coconut juice... I still can't get used to it, hahaha..."

Anna was teasing herself, then turned around and saw Yunei silently sipping coconut juice, having already drunk half a cup. She couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Really? I feel like you've adapted to the environment here better than I have!"

After all, this place is located in the tropics, with a hot and humid climate. Every time Anna goes out, she is always covered in sweat, which she has never been able to adapt to. Even now, she has a small fan at hand, ready to fan herself at any time.

But looking at Yuno, she looked clean and fresh, without even a trace of sweat, even though she had only been here for a few days!

Anna screamed that it was unfair.

Yuno seemed to be stunned by this topic for a moment. She opened her mouth and let go of the straw. She looked up at the mottled shadows hanging high above her head and said softly,

"Maybe that's the case? After all, they're plants..."

After all, the one she lives with is a plant-type Honkai beast. Isn't it normal that she is different from others?

Anna cursed herself for saying something wrong again. Changing the subject directly seemed too deliberate. As long as she continued the conversation,
