Herrscher of Human: Boring. I Want to See Rivers of Blood.

"No, it's not..."

(Admit it, in that instant, your true self—me—began to awaken.)

"No! No!"

Chapter 152 Dark Seele: Boring, I want to see rivers of blood.

"Seele? What's wrong?"

Even though Seele suppressed her painful cries, she still woke Bronya, who was standing next to her.

"Seele? Seele?"

"No... no..."

However, Seele kept repeating those three words as if she were delirious, and barely responded to Bronya's calls.

"This..."

Bronya could handle any external injuries, but Bronya was helpless and couldn't even find a clue in Seele's current state, which seemed like she was having a fit of hysteria.

In this situation...

"Brother! Brother! Something's wrong with Seele!"

In this situation, Bronya decisively chose to call upon the person she trusted most.

Liu Bai, who was chatting with Reanna outside the door, naturally heard Bronya's call.

"What's wrong?" Faced with Bronya's urgent call, Liu Bai and Reanna immediately returned to their room.

"Brother, Seele, she..."

Without Bronya saying anything more, Liu Bai and Reanna saw Seele curled up on the bed, muttering to herself.

What happened?

As she asked the question, Reanna walked over to Seele and touched Seele's forehead with her hand.

"It's not a fever..."

"Bronya doesn't know either. She saw Seele like this when she woke up." Bronya's voice was filled with worry and confusion.

"Hmm... let's arrange a hospital."

The highest level of medical skill among those present was limited to battlefield first aid; this case, which clearly indicated a complex and difficult illness, was obviously beyond their capabilities.

However, Liu Bai, who was standing next to her, looked thoughtful as he watched Seele curl up and mutter "No."

Liu Bai walked up to Seele and patted Seele head.

"Seele, tell your brother, what is it not?"

Liu Bai asked softly—if his guess was correct, then Seele should be conscious right now.

Liu Bai's question seemed to touch a nerve with Seele, and her painful voice stopped abruptly.

"Seele ... Seele isn't a bad child...no..." Seele said with a tearful expression.

"Seele wasn't a bad child to begin with," Liu Bai reassured her.

(Seriously... you're such a crybaby. It's so embarrassing to behave like this in front of your older brother and sister... okay, okay, I just can't do anything with you.)

The voice in her mind seemed to feel helpless about Seele's performance, and gradually faded away after a sigh.

"Waaah..."

Seele let out a small, mournful cry, whether from Liu Bai's comforting words or the reproachful voice in her mind, it was hard to tell.

In everyone's eyes, Seele's expression gradually calmed down.

"That's great." Bronya breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bai never disappointed her.

Bronya's compatibility +10%

"Did you have a nightmare, Seele?" Bronya asked with concern.

"Yes... yes, I had a rather scary nightmare."

Seele couldn't directly tell anyone about the "demon" that had appeared in her heart.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the "devil's" voice rang out again.

(To lie to everyone like this without batting an eye, Seele, you really are a bad child... Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry... Seele, you crybaby, I give up...)

Finally, the voice in my head muttered something very displeased and then disappeared again.

"Waaah..."

Being called a crybaby twice in a row... I'm not going to cry!

"Alright, alright, the nightmare is over. Here, want some candy?"

Reanna pulled a piece of candy from some pocket.

"Eating candy in the middle of the night will cause cavities," Liu Bai said, ruining the atmosphere.

Seele's hand, which was about to take the candy, immediately stopped.

"... Why have you started to take things so seriously, Alliance Leader?"

"No, I mean remember to brush your teeth."

"... Please finish your sentence in one go."

The loyal female knight rolled her eyes at Liu Bai, stuffed the candy into Seele's hand, and didn't forget to give Bronya a piece as well.

More than a loyal female knight, Reanna is a "scarecrow" protecting the children.

"I'm a child too."

"Alliance Leader Lord, it would be better if you had a clear understanding of your own age."

"Eighteen years old."

"Let's put aside all this nonsense about being 'younger'... how about we start by throwing away this self-perception of being eighteen and building a healthy understanding of our own age?"

Reanna sighed as she looked at the HOMU doll beside her.

"I don't want my boss to be an old monster who keeps repeating himself as he was eighteen every day."

"I suspect you're implying something... never mind, it would be safer to say 'a man is a boy until he dies' at this point."

"That's quite an ambitious statement—though I don't understand why it would be safer to say it that way."

"This is the generation gap, my dear Miss Scarecrow."

"..."

Liu Bai delivered a devastating blow with a single sentence.

Is there an age gap or anything like that? Probably not.

Although I didn't understand why Tesla called the welding gun "the sword of fire" back then.

"No, Tesla is just a mild case of chuunibyou. As long as she doesn't call the welding gun Levadin, everything is fine."

"... I can understand each word individually, but when they're put together, I can't understand them at all."

Reanna sighed, resignedly accepting the fact that there might indeed be an age gap between her and the younger generation.

No, wait, is the age gap between myself and Liu Bai the same as the age gap with Tesla?

"To put it bluntly, you're just out of touch with the times—come on and update your core values, Miss Ship of Theseus."

That's such a hurtful statement.

As for the nickname "Ship of Theseus," it is a famous philosophical question—if the wood on Theseus's ship is gradually replaced until none of the wood is the original wood, is the ship still the same ship?

Reanna's entire body was replaced with Soul Steel after hundreds of surgeries, large and small, over a century, much like the Ship of Theseus. That's why Liu Bai calls Reanna that.

"...I see."

Let's start with the comics and games that young people like.

The next day.

"Get up, little girls."

Liu Bai acted as an alarm clock to wake the two little girls who were fast asleep.

"Good morning, brother." Bronya was in a good mood as soon as she woke up, while Seele was still in a daze.

Last night, Liu Bai insisted on sleeping with the two little girls all night.

Okay, actually my real intention was to observe Seele.

If nothing unexpected happens, Seele's Stigmata personality, also known as Dark Seele, awakened last night.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, compared to the current cute and cuddly Seele, Dark Seele is much more dangerous.

Although Dark Seele always puts Seele first, Liu Bai still can't rest easy without keeping an eye on things.

After all, it seems that Seele and Dark Seele's first meeting was not pleasant, and could even be described as quite bad - although the Stigmata personality has accompanied Seele since birth and Seele herself is somewhat aware of it, they have never had any formal communication.

"Good morning, Alliance Leader..."

Seele stretched groggily and greeted them at the same time.

"Hey! Seele! Time to get up! Are you still fast asleep in bed? Haha!"

At this moment, the mischievous Xing ran over here, shouting outside, looking rather unruly.

"Xing, be quiet."

Liu Bai went outside and tapped Xing on the head—he'd recently become a bit obsessed with tapping little girls on the head.

"Eh??? A moving HOMU?"

Liu Bai startled Xing.

Meanwhile, other children nearby were also drawn by Xing's voice.

"What? A moving HOMU? Lilia, let's go see!"

"I think it should be the Alliance Leader..."

Of the two sisters next to me, one was still conscious.

"So, Xing is me."

"It really is Brother Alliance Leader..."

Xing looked at Liu Bai with disbelief.

In the past two months, Liu Bai has gained considerable prestige among the children. They all call him "Alliance Leader Brother" like Seele, while hardly anyone calls him Vice Dean—probably due to the strong family atmosphere in the orphanage.

Xing couldn't resist pinching it.

"Doll?"

"Otherwise what?" Liu Bai said irritably, "You were making such a racket early in the morning, and this time I caught you red-handed."

"N-nothing like that..."

Xing turned her head away, looking slightly guilty.

Xing only seems mischievous among children; she's quite well-behaved in front of adults... She's probably the kind of little one who pretends to be well-behaved.

However, to be honest, Xing also cares about Seele quite a bit.

The true orphanage harem king: Seele

"Alright, go have breakfast. Don't be so noisy in the hallway next time."

"Knew!"

Xing dared not linger. It would be better if Liu Bai caught her, but if Reanna caught her...

Although Reanna likes children, she is not the kind of parent who spoils them.
