Chapter 161

"Mr. Kevin," Seele said, seemingly trying to comfort him, "While you must learn to be strong, you can't do this. You can't keep fantasizing like this. It's either yes or no."

"Why not?" Kevin retorted stubbornly. "I say it is, then it is!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right." Seeing Kevin's stubbornness, Seele decided not to argue with him about this matter.

"I always feel like you're up to no good."

It seems that ever since she met this girl, she's always using Mei's situation to provoke herself.

"How could that be?!" Seele immediately exclaimed, "Our goal is the same, we both want to leave this place. So how could I possibly harm you for this?"

"And I'm just stating a fact."

"Someone as outstanding as Sister MEI," Seele added, "Has quite a few suitors."

"Don't you have even the slightest sense of crisis?"

"Although Mr. Raiden Ryoma is temporarily out of the picture," Seele said, calculating, "From what we can see right now, your opponents include Otto, Siegfried, Su... he should count too, right? Hmm, you should also keep an eye on the Redhead on the Hyperion."

"That guy went to great lengths for Mei-neechan's sake, you know."

"Maybe he also has feelings for Sister MEI."

"So," Seele said, "Don't you feel any sense of crisis at all? This is a real threat, a very real threat!"

"You should know this. You are in the Sea of Quantum."

"As long as you're here for one day."

"You'll never have a chance!"

"No!!!" Kevin cried out, "My Mei!"

No matter how much Kevin shouts, MEI will never hear him.

Overall, everything seemed to be going smoothly according to her plan. The Rabbit 19C did indeed act as a large repeater. The signal MEI was looking for originated from here.

Then all she needs to do next is use a few tricks.

"Is it not ready yet?"

Cocolia seemed a little impatient and said, "Too much time has been wasted since you set up this strange device!"

"Doctor, you should know that there isn't much time left."

"I know! I know," MEI said dismissively. "This takes time, doesn't it?"

"After all, the goal is to obtain the core."

"I have to take it slow, don't I?"

That being said, Cocolia didn't think it could be solved overnight. But wasn't taking this slow approach a bit too long? Perhaps Cocolia could afford to wait.

However, the Celestial Empire may not be able to wait that long; it is unwilling to see this thing crumble in Canghai City.

'Something's not right!' Cocolia stared at the screen, feeling that something was off. The doctor's movements seemed a bit... how to put it? Why didn't it feel like he was a real person?

Not a real person?

How is that possible?

However, upon closer inspection, the doctor's movements resemble those of a filler NPC in a game. He moves, but it's merely for the sake of moving.

"This... could it be...?"

Cocolia suddenly woke up.

"Bronya!" she immediately began calling out to Bronya.

But no reply was received!

"Oh no!" Cocolia realized then that this doctor wasn't so easily swayed. She'd just seen how quickly he'd made his choice.

She felt that this PhD student might be up to some underhanded tricks.

It seems that's indeed the case.

But...

"You can't have your cake and eat it too." Cocolia steeled her heart and said, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"The Moon Throne can absolutely not be given to the Schicksal!"

"Switch to emergency communication channel." Cocolia quickly ordered, "Contact Bronya, seize control of the warship by force, kill... bring that woman back alive."

Honestly, Cocolia really felt like killing someone.

But I gave up anyway; killing that woman might have really caused a lot of trouble.

But we can't let her get away with this!

She'll still be useful if we bring her back alive.

"Hopefully, this woman didn't also block the emergency channel," Cocolia said.

"If that's the case."

"That would be terrible!"

P. S.: I've been quite busy this month, so I was a little delayed.

P. S.: Please forgive me.

Chapter 187 Right Now

Do you think others wouldn't consider these issues?

Of course we've considered that!

How could MEI possibly reserve a spare communication channel for you to use?

Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?

Everything was quite surprising, quite exciting, and unexpected!

MEI thought she had considered everything thoroughly, including whether Bronya's chip contained any programs such as 'self-destruct' or 'indiscriminate attack' Bronya the signal was cut off, and how to deceive these programs.

Then...

"What the hell?!"

It's rare for MEI to swear.

"What kind of ingenious design is this? It doesn't even have a time delay!"

"Cocolia really found a design genius!"

MEI's estimate was missing one thing. That is, if the signal is cut off Bronya will instantly enter these final procedures. According to her calculations, Bronya's chip needs a probing process before it can execute the counter-procedure after confirming the signal cutoff.

At least you should be sure!

We need to determine whether this signal was accidentally interrupted or forcibly blocked.

However, there was none!

MEI cut off the signal, and the chip directly entered the counterattack program.

Then the fight started!

Suddenly turning evil and forcibly controlled by the chip, Bronya inflicted massive damage on several unsuspecting individuals. Fortunately, the Valkyrie armor intervened and stopped the attack.

Otherwise it would be terrible.

But the current situation is not optimistic either!

"It seems really bad," MEI said, kneeling on the ground. "My leg... is injured."

As the only one not wearing Valkyrie armor, MEI was the only one truly injured in Bronya's first wave of attacks. Fortunately, after Bronya turned evil, she used a shotgun, the kind that shoots in large areas.

Fortunately, MEI dodged in time and didn't take all the damage, but unfortunately, her leg was hit and was seriously injured.

"Mommy!" "Mommy!"

Mei, Kiana, and K423 immediately surrounded Mei, forming a triangle around her.

"That despicable guy," K423 said with a hint of resentment, "Being an undercover agent is one thing, but he even hurt Mom! This is simply unforgivable!"

"Bronya!" Mei called out anxiously.

"No need to shout anymore." MEI quickly treated her injuries.

It's really just about using bandages and medication to stop the bleeding.

Fortunately, no arteries were damaged, otherwise it would have been much worse.

"Bronya is probably under the control of the Biological Chip now." MEI said with a hint of self-reproach, "One miscalculation led to total defeat! I just didn't expect the chip to switch to an attack program so quickly."

No, they should have already figured it out. The chip had entered emergency mode and forcibly replaced Bronya's consciousness to control her body.

Once the signal shows any abnormality, it is extremely easy to enter an attack state.

I never even thought of that.

Ugh, that damn plot-driven death!

This must be the fault of the plot and the system.

"Don't hurt Bronya," MEI said. "Let me do it."

"I have experience."

MEI is indeed experienced; she was once tormented to the point of ecstasy by Black Swan in the game. During her first encounter with Bronya, she had absolutely no idea how to fight her.

If it's the same as in the game, at least the skills should be similar.

Black Duck should be considered an assassin, right?

Never mind!

"In short, we have control of the warship now," MEI said. "There's no need to rush."

"Help me keep watch, I have a plan."

The real-life Bronya is definitely much stronger than the Bronya in the game. At least in terms of tactical options, she should have even better tactical choices.

So, do you think MEI is completely helpless?

How is that possible?!

How could MEI not have a way? She remembered that Bronya could actively burn out the chip, so she must have a way to make the chip stop working on its own.

MEI has successfully captured the signal and successfully replaced it.

The next step is to use this signal to stop the chip from working.

It might be a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible.

But things didn't seem to develop as MEI had hoped; the black mist gradually dissipated, and Bronya's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

"It's gotten this far! How can you, a traitor, still be laughing?"

K423 saw Bronya and immediately shouted, "Surrender now! That way we won't have to exert too much effort, you won't get hurt, and Mom won't be sad for you. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!"

"Bronya?!"

Mei sensed that something was wrong!

Bronya, who never smiles, actually smiled at this moment?!

Her face showed regret and helplessness, and her eyes held apology and determination.

"Bronya?" Mei sensed something was wrong and said, "Bronya, we know you don't really want to be our enemy."

"Everyone understands you, Bronya. Trust that your mother will find a way to help you."

"Bronya believes that Mom can help me," Bronya said calmly. "However, Bronya doesn't want to hurt Mom."

"Bronya cannot forgive herself for the attack she just made."

"Bronya doesn't want to hurt anyone."

Not wanting to cause harm, after that last shotgun blast nearly riddled MEI with holes, Bronya knew it was time for her to make a decision!

She struggled to regain control of her body and suppressed the chip with her willpower.
