Another "Me"

Edison, slightly annoyed, brushed Liu Bai's hand away.

"It feels like coming with high hopes, only to leave disappointed, right?"

"Is it because your 'voice generator' that you developed before, Miss Nancy, no longer works? You couldn't show it off in front of the Alliance Leader," said Reanna, the motherly figure Anti-Entropy, with a hint of sarcasm. "But aren't you still very happy?"

"Reanna, you're not getting your salary or year-end bonus this year."

"... That's quite an arbitrary punishment of yours."

However, Reanna didn't care about salary and year-end bonuses—she had long since moved beyond such low-level interests.

Could Anti-Entropy really starve her to death?

"Speaking of which," Edison suddenly looked at Bronya, "Do you want this child to succeed as Alliance Leader?"

"... No, why are you all asking this question?"

Liu Bai looked at Bronya was holding a doll in one hand and a bag of candy in the other, with some confusion.

Does Bronya possess some kind of domineering aura?

Is it because of me that you all have to ask this kind of question?

But then again... Bronya, the Anti-Entropy Leader, is surprisingly kind of appealing.

Liu Bai stroked his chin and began to ponder.

"... Let's talk about this later, it's nothing yet."

Liu Bai waved his hand, indicating that it was better to put this issue aside.

Bronya only twelve years old now, it's way too early to talk about this kind of thing... and to be honest, Anti-Entropy Leader isn't exactly a respectable job these days.

Without Edison's abilities, Bronya would most likely have become a mascot like herself if she had gone up there.

... Although this also means that Bronya could easily become the Alliance Leader of the alliance.

Bronya tilted her head, completely baffled as to why the topic had suddenly shifted to her.

"Never mind, let's go inside and talk about it slowly."

"Go in? No, I'm not going in."

Edison waved his hand.

"I have a lot on my plate, what's that saying again... millions up and down, I really don't have much time to stay here. But Reanna can stay here, the world situation is relatively stable right now."

"Smooth?"

"Yes... of course, Siberia is not included now, so it's perfect to leave Reanna, the bodyguard with the sword, to you."

Edison waved his hand, preparing to leave.

"Oh, by the way, I didn't tell Einstein your situation... I guess you could call it a little selfish of me."

"Nancy, you really are..."

Come to think of it, it seems that Einstein never told Edison that he had returned.

Good grief, so this is a cycle of cause and effect, isn't it?

By the time Liu Bai came to his senses, Edison had already waved and walked away.

"Tsk... a few million or so, really."

Liu Bai complained for a moment, then looked at Cocolia.

"Lord Alliance Leader, what are your orders?"

"... No, no."

The x-10 experiment...

[You became the nominal vice-director of Cocolia Orphanage by virtue of your position as the Alliance Leader]

All the children are incredibly curious about you, their new "big brother"—even though they can't possibly connect you with the "White Cloth Monster."

Overall, thanks to your rather good looks, you get along quite well with these little guys.

Bronya gradually integrated into the orphanage community and became recognized as everyone's "older sister." A glimmer of light gradually appeared in Bronya's eyes—however, along the way, Bronya caught Seele's habit of using the third person pronoun.

I even wanted to talk to Cocolia about this back then... But then again, it's kind of a cute thing.

Yeah, don't mention Dior. Liu Bai doesn't admit that "I'm Dior" is a cute thing.

However, the special circumstances of the children at Cocolia Orphanage have attracted the attention of many criminals.

You've learned that many mercenaries are secretly targeting the children with Honkai Energy aptitude in the Cocolia Orphanage.

"So, does that mean there's only a thousand days of thievery, but no thousand days of guarding against thieves?"

Liu Bai looked out the window at the few shadowy figures outside the orphanage, somewhat speechless.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Although it was night, Bronya, wearing pajamas with HOMU pattern, was still full of energy.

"Has the enemy invaded?"

A chill ran down Bronya's spine.

"Ah, a few little mice." Liu Bai sighed.

(Alliance Leader, should I make a move?)

"It was suggested by Reanna's semi-dormant consciousness."

Daring to steal someone from S-Rank Valkyrie's territory, don't you know the meaning of death?

Meanwhile, Bronya was on the bed, had already gotten out of bed and picked up the fire poker... well, the sniper rifle that had been placed in the corner of the wall.

"That thing doesn't have bullets, what do you want with it?"

"..."

Bronya didn't speak, but her eyes gleamed with determination.

"... Don't make it sound like you're fighting a boss, Bronya."

Liu Bai slightly bent his fingers and flicked Bronya on the forehead.

"Waaah..."

Bronya covered her head with one hand and obediently put the sniper rifle back with the other.

At the same time, Liu Bai also separated from Reanna, and then... possessed the HOMU doll.

"Reanna, I'm leaving this to you... Try your best to get some information out of me. Since we can't guard against thieves forever, let's eliminate this threat completely!"

The new plot is so confusing, I don't even know what to say.

From what we can see now, the current civilization is like a clown. The dead died in vain. Kevin's ending is known to be after defeating the 12 Laws, but those who don't know might think it was a blood sacrifice by an evil god. Taking a step back, we can also flexibly define humanity.

Moreover, it seems likely that Kevin will also become the Joker in the future; either he becomes the Joker or he is sacrificed, otherwise the collapse of the story is very likely to happen.

However, the more you analyze the plot, the more you realize that the clown is actually the entire story, with both the Previous Era and the present civilization acting as clowns.

Compared to projects like the Stigmata Project, didn't Previous Era already have the technology to forcefully overcome the Finality?

The Moonlight Throne! The Moonlight Throne!

In the new storyline Kevin says that Theresa is qualified to Finality Battlefield... However, when it comes to the Finality with its excessive strength, Theresa and Kevin are not much different at all, okay?

At most, it's just the difference between a gua sha master and a pedicurist... Kevin talks about the plot as if the Fusion Warrior were carrying the Finality, but without the Moonlight Throne's two shots that took away 32% of the Finality's energy, it's really like the Finality completely crushed the Fusion Warrior.

The Moonlight Throne is a mass-producible weapon! And its power increases with the strength of the Honkai; theoretically, it can be used to fight Honkai using Honkai -based strategies...

Moreover, mass production cannot determine the level of civilization. For example, with the technology of World War I, if everyone on Earth had a tank, could a civilization with billions of World War I tanks compare to the current information age in terms of civilization level?

Modern civilization's industrial capabilities haven't declined yet! Anti-Entropy built its first Moonlight Throne in just a few months in the 20th century (although Otto interfered, it was eventually completed). Even if the configuration was a bit lacking, the core is still the same core...

They really didn't mention it at all... and after all these years, with the rapid development of world science and industry, Anti-Entropy still hasn't built a second one.

If the final ending still requires the Moonlight Throne to come out and wrap things up, then it's truly a case of the Previous Era dragging the current civilization down with them as clowns... The Previous Era threw away the Moonlight Throne without saying a word about the Stigmata Project that dragged all of humanity into this mess, and the current Moonlight Throne themselves, while the current civilization's main characters are doing that FGO-style endless love thing... The only decent one is Prometheus, which I personally think is quite amazing, the Herrscher Orbit and all that, even setting aside the Stigmata Project, this thing is still very meaningful.

Aside from that, I feel like I can't bear to look at anything else...

It's definitely better to write a post about the Honkai 3rd storyline...

Although there weren't many backstabbings against me...

... The new storyline has really exacerbated my Calvin Klein syndrome.

Chapter 151 Another "Me"

"Understood, Lord Alliance Leader."

Reanna naturally agreed wholeheartedly to Liu Bai's order to "eliminate future troubles."

Since they've set their sights on the orphanage, Reanna feels she'd be doing herself a disservice if she didn't eliminate them.

But...

"Lord Alliance Leader, we may need your help in the current situation."

Reanna squinted at the figure stepping into the orphanage.

"The people at the main gate are no problem for me, but it's hard to say whether there's another group waiting for an opportunity to strike... It's a pity Cocolia isn't here, or perhaps the other side has just seized this opportunity."

"So you're just ganking and I'm defending the tower, right? Simple."

Liu Bai easily understood what Reanna meant. "Dealing with a few ordinary people is a piece of cake for me."

Liu Bai is now undoubtedly a monster to ordinary people.

"Hmm... Bronya, take this, the pistol with a silencer."

Reanna handed Bronya a pistol.

"I'm familiar with your previous tactics, like strangling your opponent with stockings..."

Reanna said rather strangely... After all, killing someone with stockings is such a bizarre way to die, isn't it?

It's comparable to being killed by a pink bunny; in any case, Reanna feels she can't accept dying like that.

"In any case, this pistol is more suitable for the current situation... You know how to use it, right?"

Bronya took the pistol and nodded.

"Then I'll leave this to the Alliance Leader and Bronya. I'll go deal with these hyenas now... I hope the noise won't disturb the children's rest."

Instead of drawing her lance, Reanna pulled out her saber from her waist and silently left.

After watching Reanna leave, Bronya's gaze shifted to Liu Bai.

Bronya's compatibility +5%

Bronya's compatibility +5%

Two identical prompts appeared in succession.

"?"

What's wrong?

Liu Bai tilted his head. This increase in favorability was too inexplicable.

Such inexplicable goodwill might get you attacked online, right?

"Brother... the moving HOMU."

Bronya looked at Liu Bai, a hesitant expression on her face.

Oh... right, he's currently possessing Bronya's HOMU doll.

"Um... can I touch it, brother?"

"No, even if it's possession or something... Oh, holy crap, what kind of power is this?"

Liu Bai suddenly realized that the ability he possessed in this HOMU was a bit outrageous.

Charisma enhancement (for children), throwing bombs, stomping on heads.
