People often say that eyes are the windows to the soul.
However, the moment Bronya looked into the eyes of the Pseudo-Herrscher, she understood the meaning of this sentence.
My goodness, is the Honkai really this outrageous now?
If the Pseudo-Herrscher can possess such a high level of intelligence, will future Emperor-level Honkai beasts be able to play the Thirty-Six Stratagems?
Bronya didn't know, but she still used her own means to narrow the encirclement.
Relying on the flexibility of Project Bunny, the loud noise made by the drill on the bunny, plus collecting gasoline along the way and setting it on fire to create an encirclement, Bronya was like an experienced hunter, pressing the Pseudo-Herrscher step by step.
"Wow! Bronie!"
"What happened again, Ellie?"
"Bronya is bullying me! She knows that the ability of the Herrscher is related to plants, but she still sets fires everywhere!"
If you looked from the rooftop of Senba Academy, you could see that Nagazora was once again in a sea of fire. This time, the burning was deliberately done by Bronya.
"Although the fire is set on the ground, don't underestimate the power of plants. Otherwise, after a forest fire, will all the forests be completely destroyed?"
"Underground?"
Elysia thought for a while, then looked at the platform. "There is a subway nearby! And if it really doesn't work, you can just move directly through the sewer. Although this is a bit inelegant, it does work! You are really a genius, Bronie!"
Actually... What Bronie wanted to say was to use the power generated by the growth of plants to push the land open, then dig a tunnel on the spot.
But there was nothing wrong with Elysia's method.
Or maybe Elysia's choice, although less concealed, it was more flexible?
After all, the underground world is not as simple as the world on the ground. The intricate pipes, the malice hidden in the shadows, and the narrow corridors that may restrict Project Bunny.
There's no doubt that these kinds of underground facilities were specially built for the Pseudo-Herrscher controlled by Elysia!
The pursuit had been going on for a while, and Kiana had not found any movement from the Pseudo-Herrscher. She couldn't help but contact Bronya.
"Bronya, the thorns haven't appeared for a while, and the fire you set has begun to die out. Why haven't you seen the Pseudo-Herrscher?"
"For a while? How long?"
"About ten minutes?"
"Kiana, your report is very timely. It seems that the knights of Kaslana have a sensitivity beyond ordinary people in terms of intuition~"
The thorns on her side were indeed not growing, and Bronya thought it was caused by the fire.
But there was no fire on Kiana's side, and the thorns didn't grow. That means the Pseudo-Herrscher didn't go to that place, or didn't observe the zombie near Kiana, so it didn't devour them and plunder the Honkai energy. Where could the Pseudo-Herrscher be?
"No human figures in sight in the sky. Before, Lyle said that he saw the Pseudo-Herrscher glance over here in the scope. It must have noticed that we were tipping off!"
Mei also sent a communication. As a sniper, Lyle did more observation than shooting. After all, Lyle had only undergone a little training, and it was basically impossible to expect the other party to shoot wherever he pointed. Therefore, with a bird's-eye view as an information position, Bronya felt that it was quite reliable.
Since the location of the Pseudo-Herrscher was lost in the sky, the Pseudo-Herrscher's location was likely underground!
After making this judgment, Bronya told everyone about it. But Mei was also hesitant.
"That..."
"From chasing to fighting in the opponent's home field again, it's normal to feel uneasy. Mei, you can also temporarily patrol the subway entrances. The Pseudo-Herrscher has a proud personality and can't hide underground for too long. Bronya will try to force her out."
"...Haha, too naive!"
Elysia who controlled the Pseudo-Herrscher watched as the Pseudo-Herrscher moved forward in the subway. Occasionally, she will catch one or two zombie as snacks along the way, but it is obvious that Elysia will not stay underground honestly.
"Elysia, are you already addicted to playing..."
"After all, this kind of confrontation game is quite interesting. If Bronie makes this type of game in the future, I will definitely like it very much! And the Pseudo-Herrscher is so cute, and its ability can also create countless flowers, which is very interesting!"
Although she said so, the flowers are just an ability that Bronie added because she considered that Elysia liked it.
"And Bronya is too naive! Did she think that I was just trying to take the Honkai energy from the zombies after entering the subway? She must have thought that the underground space in Nagazora City was basically useless anyway, so she would definitely find a pump at the seaside to flood the underground!"
"There must be a qualified drainage measure underground, right? Even if a pump is used, it is unlikely to flood the entire underground... even for a short amount of time."
"Hehe, she doesn't understand this! The drainage system is naturally connected to the city's drainage system. So, if you just need to completely destroy the drainage system over there, isn't it natural to flood the subway? That's why I said Bronya is too naive!"
"Oh? So this direction..."
"Of course it's the main drainage pipe in the city! And more importantly, this is also where Bronya will come. As long as I ambush her here..."
The seeds began to be placed in the surrounding areas. As long as Bronya came, she would inevitably fall into the trap. The seeds would germinate and grow into an endless sea of flowers. The pollen scattered by the sea of flowers was highly toxic and could weaken Bronya's physical strength at any time!
In this way, with one buff and one debuff, plus the home field advantage, the identities of hunter and prey would be exchanged immediately!
"Fortunately, you didn't catch a living person into the subway, otherwise Bronya and the others would probably experience death in this world..."
Bronie saw that Elysia had planned everything and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Elysia didn't go too far.
"Are you stupid, Bronie!"
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"Because if you take a living person as a hostage, it will leave a great psychological scar on the child! This is not something a qualified magical girl should do!"
No, it's as if you're really a magical girl!
Bronie didn't dare to complain, so she just rolled her eyes. "The reason why dreams are dreams is that many things are easily forgotten after waking up, so you don't need to worry about giving them bad memories. Even if there are, I'll let Misteln blur them. But your worries are indeed reasonable, so just try your best to fight against Bronya and the others."
Bronie set her eyes on Yae Sakura. Unfortunately, Miss Yae Sakura was not familiar with Nagazora City, so she just wandered aimlessly, chopping one or two zombie along the way, and investigating the source of the so-called Honkai at Senba Academy.
Fortunately, Yae Sakura was literate, and with the convenience of being able to "communicate" with Bronie, Yae Sakura was able to gather a lot of information from Senba Academy.
Who would write a diary if they were serious?
Although that's what she said, it seems that there are indeed many people who write diaries at Senba Academy. Through these diaries, Yae Sakura roughly understood the smoky situation at Senba Academy.
How to say it, that little girl named Raiden Mei is quite pitiful.
And Otto is naturally responsible for this part of Yae Sakura.
After all, the two have common topics, so Yae Sakura replaced Otto's eyes and hands during the investigation, looking for the truth behind the Honkai in Nagazora City. At the same time, they talked a lot about Kallen along the way.
Although, when it comes to Kallen's death, Yae Sakura's mood becomes unstable and she seems on the verge of causing trouble, Otto, who had wanted to cause trouble, suddenly thought that Kallen's stigmata fragments might be on Yae Sakura. Bronie couldn't be unaware of the matter of Kallen's stigma on Yae Sakura.
So, Otto gave up the idea of making trouble.
There's no way, Otto felt that no matter what he does, it will always be within Bronie's expectations.
Otto doesn't know what benefits the awakening of Hellmaru could bring to Bronie, but due to the special nature of Hellmaru itself, Otto dares not stimulate Hellmaru through remote control without further research.
As for whether there's any relevant content in the Void Archive?
Now, the Void Archive has almost taken the shape of Bronie. If it didn't have a function that can be camouflaged as a Divine Key, Otto would have sealed it by now.
"Yae Sakura, I have something interesting to tell you."
"Huh!?"
Bronie suddenly contacted her on her own initiative. Yae Sakura originally thought that Bronie was disgusted with her, so she hadn't contacted her much.
"Raiden Mei is active near the Line 4 subway station."
"Raiden Mei? Is that the little princess Raiden Mei mentioned in those diaries? That child has received too much malice in this place called campus, which makes me think of something..."
Yae Sakura could understand the feeling of being against the world. At that time, under the influence of Honkai and Hellmaru, Yae Sakura had directly slaughtered all the people in the village!
So, she was very worried about Mei's condition.
"You need to find the answer yourself, but your guesses are generally correct. Also, take good care of yourself. Otherwise, if you still can't reduce the possibility of harming others after leaving Nagazora City, I will consider letting you slumber again. Of course, the dream will no longer be a nightmare, but rather some absurd dreams."
"What's the meaning of a false dream to me?"
"Who knows? Maybe someone will not be eroded by the Honkai because of your false dream. For you, there may be no meaning of existence, and even the meaning of your life could be denied. But at least you're still alive, right? There is hope in life; this is something I often say."
"Yes, there is hope in life. Time is always a very cruel thing. Maybe one day you'll forget Kallen, forget her dream, and then find a new meaning for your existence."
This Otto also said things in a yin and yang way from time to time.
After all, he was still a little unhappy. Kallen paid so much for Yae Sakura, but Yae Sakura dared not appreciate it and trampled on her life at will. Maybe this is the way of the Far East people. He heard that because of the special folk customs in the Far East, there are some outrageous behaviors in the choice of certain things, and the thinking is very different from most people, especially when it comes to death.
"I won't forget!"
Yae Sakura immediately became unhappy when she heard Otto use Kallen to motivate her. Even for Kallen, she couldn't ruin her life.
"Okay, Kallen is more important than the meaning of her existence. It seems that our Mr. Otto quite appreciates Yae Sakura for having such an idea."
Bronie understood Otto's inner conflict now. On one hand, there's Kallen's efforts, and he can't trample on them. On the other hand, there's naturally jealousy.
But Bronie enjoyed seeing these scenes. The expression that changes completely because of jealousy...
After being mentioned by Bronie, Otto's expression that was originally well controlled became a little hard to bear.
Sure enough, Bronie is his natural enemy. He doesn't know why Bronie knows him so well, and he doesn't know why Bronie can always grasp his psychology.
"If I had known, I would have come here in person."
Otto looked at the current situation in Nagazora City. It was simply a perfect trial field. If it were used to cultivate Valkyries, the cost would be greatly reduced, and it might even guide the awakening of the stigmata.
Until now, Otto felt that the awakening of the stigmata from some of the people in the masses
Aside from the changes in genes, it mainly depended on the change of personal will. The specific analysis ends here. If he could come to Nagazora City in person, Otto felt he would be able to analyze even more.
It's a pity that, looking at the progress of Bronie's plan, it will take less than two or three days for Nagazora City to return to its original state.
As for how Nagazora City will be connected to the real world after being isolated for several days?
Schicksal and Anti-Entropy both expressed their willingness to cooperate with Bronie to lie.
What was announced to the public was that the typhoon had affected Nagazora City for several days, halting all kinds of production. The losses of Nagazora City would be borne by local Schicksal and Anti-Entropy forces.
"There are not many things in the world that can be known in advance... It is precisely because of the unknown that it's interesting, and it is because of the unknown that it's worth challenging. But for you, if you die, it means completely giving up on the plan to revive Kallen. So, you will never take risks, unless what you're risking for is something closely related to Kallen.
