Chapter 282

"Bronya can't trust you. Give the Class President back."

Why?!

Hi Fu was puzzled as to why the two of them valued that old relic so much. No matter how you looked at it, she was better than her, so she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "These two, I never thought they were so disobedient before. So, it turns out that only Shen Gonglin is willing to listen to me properly?"

The guy hidden in the feathers is a contrarian; he'll argue no matter what I say. Bronya and Kiana are idiots. The more I look at him, the more I realize that Shen Gonglin world. He's better than them! Only when he looks at me is he truly looking at me; everyone else seems to see another person through me.

"Your intentions are not simple, Bronya knows... Bronya can see it. Why build a fake Mount Tai Xu? Why make us see the Class President's memories? And why deceive us with that sister's image? You could have just appeared openly, without going through all this trouble."

Bronya calmly questioned her. In that fake Mount Tai Xu, she and Kiana, guided by a girl named Lin Zhaoyu, experienced the Class President's memories. It was a pity about her behavior... Moreover, because of her cheating at the hotel, Kiana and Bronya had an instinctive wariness of her. So no matter how hard she tried, the two girls' first impression of her was extremely bad.

This guy is the one who made them green hats! Bronya and Kiana can even feel how green they are on each other's heads!

"... First of all, Mount Tai Xu is real. I just made some modifications to your consciousness to fit in the plot I designed. This has always been the real Mount Tai Xu."

He could explain even the simplest of these questions himself, Hi Fu strolled along, talking eloquently.

"Secondly, I hope you can understand me better. I used to be a taciturn person, never telling anyone, which caused a lot of trouble. Now I've come to my senses and I will be very honest with you. I will let you see clearly my past failures, mistakes, and stubbornness... so that you can make a fair judgment."

Seeming a little embarrassed, Hi Fu scratched his head. He had been so foolish before, never telling anyone anything. Bronya and Kiana were trustworthy friends; what couldn't he tell them? Now he was different; he could tell them anything.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Two People Who Don't Know How to Soothe Children

"As for the third thing... you still care about this? Just treat her as an NPC, right? If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. If I personally lead the way for you, the whole show will be exposed... But it just so happens that there's a sealed person in my head. I've forgotten why, but she has a complete set of memories and a virtual personality, so I just took her out and used her."

Hi Fu said nonchalantly, what's the point of caring about such unimportant things? She wanted to do it, so she did it, it's the most normal thing. However, at this moment Feather Dust spoke in her mind, and she sighed softly.

You shouldn't have done that...

However, Hi Fu didn't care at all; she didn't feel there was anything wrong with what she was doing.

"So I put her to use. I gave her as much freedom as possible—that's what acting is all about, right? None of you saw through it, did you?"

As if showing off his abilities, Hi Fu puffed out his chest and said smugly that whether it was Kiana or Bronya, they were all being manipulated by him in the illusion he created... No, it can't be called manipulating, he was just joking with them. After all, it had been a long time since they had seen each other, and as the new Class President, he had to give them a greeting gift.

"You're toying with us—what's your purpose?"

Unaffected by the Hi Fu, Bronya understood everything the girl had done. She frowned slightly. Was this person the one who had interfered with everything she had experienced? Bronya couldn't understand the girl's reason for doing this. The girl's gray eyes were busy planning. Shen Gonglin was right beside her. A rash attack might involve Shen Gonglin, so a surprise attack was not advisable.

"Tease?!"

Hearing Bronya's words, Hi Fu's eyes widened. At this moment, she seemed to have been greatly wronged. What was wrong with Bronya? She had always thought she was quite smart, but how could she spout such nonsense? This was a huge slander!

"How did I mess with you? Were you hurt? Were you in danger? You were under my surveillance the whole time, there wasn't even the slightest possibility of anything happening to you... and this is how you repay me? Shen Gonglin, look at them, I clearly didn't mean any harm, but now they look like they want to devour me. Look, look at those eyes, they're even fiercer!"

Like a wronged little girl going to her parents, Hi Fu turned around and pounced on Shen Gonglin to accuse Bronya and Kiana of their atrocities. However, after seeing her actions, the hostility in Bronya and Kiana's eyes deepened. This guy was taking advantage of Shen Gonglin again, and the color of his hat had become even darker.

"Um... you two, I think she's still..."

Shen Gonglin felt that if she let go of her, the two of them might treat her better. With two pairs of eyes staring at her, Shen Gonglin didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements. As soon as she opened her mouth, their gazes became even fiercer.

"Shen Gonglin, don't speak. Bronya doesn't want to hear you right now. Take at least ten baths before you speak. Shen Gonglin is already dirty."

Bronya bluntly told Shen Gonglin to shut up, while Kiana secretly winked at Shen Gonglin. Bronya's fierceness made Kiana seem more obedient, and now Shen Gonglin probably understood who she liked better.

... A miscalculation! Why couldn't I hold back? Kiana has now gained the upper hand. Bronya immediately regretted her words. That fragile girl alliance was completely untrustworthy. This girl was always plotting to backstab her and use her to highlight her own shortcomings. She had been careless.

They were already starting to regret it, but there was no use saying anything now. Forcing themselves to ignore the obviously choked- Shen Gonglin, Bronya and Kiana exchanged a glance and gave up their plan to stab her now. The two of them were still allies, and their only enemy was the person in front of them. Although they still didn't understand what this person who looked very similar to the Class President was up to, they had reached a consensus: this person was extremely dangerous.

"Don't be misled, Kiana, this guy is just like us!"

"Yes, and we need to win back the Class President."

The two girls whispered to each other. It was a pity that neither Mei nor Theresa were there, otherwise the situation wouldn't have turned out this way. They didn't know how to coax children at all. The only thing they knew how to do was beat up the guy in front of them!

Honkai energy flowed through their bodies, and in an instant, the two girls changed their appearance. Holding dual pistols in their hands, Kiana's long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her two heterochromatic eyes were fixed on the Hi Fu in front of her. Bronya was floating in mid-air, also completed her Herrscher outfit. This posture proved a decision: they still had to fight first!

"Oh? Are you going to attack me? Shen Gonglin, did you see that? They started it... Don't be disappointed, you're not dirty at all, you're delicious. They may dislike you, but I don't. Don't worry, I'm here. Now, go to the side and let me teach these two disobedient communicators a lesson. Only fists work. If I don't teach them a lesson, I don't think they'll behave."

Seeing Bronya and Kiana's decision, Hi Fu was overjoyed and eager to fight. She told Shen Gonglin to rush forward, but after seeing Shen Gonglin's obvious disappointment, she understood why and smiled to comfort Shen Gonglin. Why did Bronya think Shen Gonglin was dirty? She felt fine. Well, she had another reason to fight: to avenge Shen Gonglin.

Hey, Fu Hua herself isn't exactly a fighter, but she still has to fight? Fine, that'll make those two obedient.

"... Okay, but don't go too far. Just have a quick chat. I'll head over now."

Shen Gonglin secretly glared at Bronya, knowing that Hi Fu wouldn't go too far, so he wasn't too worried about it. Bronya was talking nonsense, so arrogant and unruly at such a young age. It seemed that he hadn't disciplined her for too long. Since Hi Fu was here, there was no need for him to take action. Besides, he obviously couldn't stop this fight. Whatever, Shen Gonglin had made his move. Fight if you want.

Anyway, no one will die, and only through close combat like this can the Class President's plan be successfully implemented.

Cooperating with the Class President's decision, Shen Gonglin obediently retreated to the back. Go ahead and fight, beat the dog's brains out!

Chapter 70 We can't lose to the Honkai!

There's no point in saying more; only broken bones teach the best lessons. Without wasting any more words with Bronya and the others, Hi Fu charged straight ahead. He needs to move his hands and feet every day, otherwise they'll rust sooner or later. It's rare for him to be so healthy, so he has to make sure he's always in the best condition to fight against Honkai.

The girl charged forward fiercely, her fair fists carrying the force to split mountains and cleave seas. Kiana spun her twin pistols to block Hi Fu's attack. She was extremely familiar with this fist technique. When her Class President was teaching her how to control Honkai power, she had taught her a few moves of this technique called the Cun Xin Fist. And when Hi Fu used this fist technique, it was perfectly natural, as if it had been created by her. Moreover, it seemed... even more difficult to deal with.

This is normal, since the original Class President was always injured and incomplete, but the enemy in front of us now has her body and memories from her prime. This makes things a bit difficult.

If Shen Gonglin could help, the situation would probably be much better, but that guy... that guy was just watching the show! What an idiot, doesn't he know who to help in a situation like this!

Kiana glanced at Shen Gonglin not far away and almost laughed in Kiana when she saw his state. This guy was really thick-skinned; he just stood there watching. She really wanted to run over and kick his butt!

"Kiana, you can't get distracted during battle, I remember I taught you that."

Kiana's fist was blocked by the twin pistols, but the superb martial arts skills of Hi Fu were not so simple. Her legs, clad in black stockings, slashed down from the air like a crescent moon. Kiana knew she couldn't stop her. Her heterochromatic eyes flashed, and a golden halo unfolded behind Kiana. The girl dodged back into the halo and then attacked Hi Fu from another direction.

Since the Herrscher of Thunder's core disappeared from her body, Kiana's physical condition has improved a lot. Without the burden of a Herrscher Core, she can finally devote more energy to improving herself. During this time, she has been sparring with Bronya in the Hyperion, and her use of Herrscher abilities has reached a new level.

Flames spewed from both pistols, and a barrage of bullets rained down on Hi Fu like a storm. The red-eyed girl drew a tai chi circle in front of her with her hand, blocking all the bullets. Kiana didn't care; this was just to cover her next attack. A circle of light appeared under Kiana's feet, acting as a stepping stone. With a few nimble leaps, the girl jumped in front of Hi Fu. The real attack was about to begin!

The dual pistols vanished from her hands, Spear of the Void, powered by the Herrscher of the Void, reappeared in Kiana's hand. A full moon descended from below, striking towards Hi Fu's chin. Hi Fu's eyes lit up; Kiana was really quite impressive.

"Well done, haha, Kiana, you're really different from before. This kind of fierce attack shows you're already a qualified warrior. You're becoming more and more proficient with the power of the Herrscher of the Void, but..."

Like a swift in the forest, Hi Fu nimbly flipped to dodge Kiana's Spear of the Void. Taking advantage of the girl's momentary lapse in time, Hi Fu closed in and came to Kiana's side. The two beautiful faces were now infinitely close. Hi Fu looked at Kiana's heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one orange, with great interest. It was less of a battle and more of an instruction to her.

"However, this doesn't seem to be the full power of the Herrscher of the Void. I see. You're only a half- Herrscher now, using only the portion of your power that you can use... Kiana, well done! That's it! We absolutely cannot lose to the Honkai!"

Without holding back his praise, Hi Fu loudly exclaimed in admiration of Kiana, which made Shen Gonglin next to him twitch her eyebrows slightly. If he was not mistaken, this Class President was also Herrscher. Herrscher fighting Herrscher, and even encouraging the other party not to lose to the Honkai... Tsk tsk, sometimes I think the Honkai is quite unlucky.

Look, the Herrscher were created to destroy human civilization, but now they're fighting amongst themselves and saying they don't want to lose to the Honkai. The trash Honkai is doomed sooner or later.

Kiana remained silent, focusing all her energy on the battle. The enemy before her was strong, and although she still had some strength left, she was clearly not truly fighting. To save the Class President, she had to defeat her!

"Kiana, Bronya is here to help you."

The blue missile hurtled towards her with the girl's flat voice. Sensing the whooshing sound behind her, Hi Fu dodged the missile as if she had eyes in the back of her head. With a flick of her slender, white finger in the air, a tiny sword aura destroyed the missile beside her. The shockwave from the explosion gently ruffled Hi Fu's hair. Oh right, I almost forgot, Bronya is there too.

It's a little unfair for one to fight two, but oh well, I'm their Class President, and I'm stronger than them both. I don't care if they come at me together.

"This power... I sensed it on the bridge before. This power that constructs all things, I see. Bronya, you are Herrscher now, and you even have this core. It must have been given to you by Welt. Tsk tsk, his life has been miserable enough, and now he has given this core to you. Bronya, take my advice, just throw this core away. This thing is a bit ominous."

Even when fighting two opponents, Hi Fu held her own. The more she fought, the happier she became. Bronya and Kiana's successive attacks did not overwhelm her. Her combat skills, honed through countless trials, allowed Hi Fu to still have the energy to point out their shortcomings in the midst of the battle. She was not surprised by the result at all. After all, it was her, Fu Hua. To achieve this level was only to be expected.

"Sigh, a half- Herrscher isn't all that strong, huh? Turns out I'm not that great, hehe. But it's not your fault, I'm just too strong. I haven't even used Feather Dust yet. Kiana, Bronya, this is your Class President's true strength, you know? I've been completely transformed!"

Dodging their attacks, Hi Fu gently patted Kiana and Bronya on the shoulder and flashed to the other side, thinking to himself how incredibly strong he was.

There are absolutely no gaps...

The two girls were slightly out of breath, already feeling the strain of the battle. However, the Herrscher opposite them, disguised as the Class President monitor, seemed to be handling the situation with ease. This enemy was very strong, and now, what should they do?

Chapter Seventy-One

These two seem to be having some kind of problem; we need to think of a way to help them a little...

Seeing the grim situation on the other side, Shen Gonglin's mind started to stir. She couldn't just watch Hi Fu crush the two of them. She had to think of a way. After all, the Class President still had to come back. If she won so easily now, something would not be right.

Shen Gonglin's fingers twitched slightly. She had also had close contact with her before. Since she was also Herrscher... Shen Gonglin had also figured out her strange constitution a little. Just like before, as long as there was close contact, it seemed that she could also obtain the power of Herrscher. Directly helping her was too obvious. She had to find another way.

His eyes turned slightly red. Now, Shen Gonglin's eyes were exactly the same as Hi Fu's. The power that originated from the Herrscher was quietly transmitted from his fingertips to Hi Fu's body. The Chiyuan, who had been suppressed and sealed, was immediately awakened by this power. So that's how it is. She instantly understood Shen Gonglin's meaning. This guy, when it comes to matters of principle, still knows how to take sides.

Without saying a word, while Hi Fu was fighting Kiana and the others again, Fu Hua secretly transmitted her voice to Kiana and Bronya's minds.

Shh... be quiet, it's me.

The two women paused slightly, and after recognizing the voice, they continued their battle with Hi Fu without making a sound. Although they didn't know why, they could tell that it was definitely the real Class President.

[She's having a great time right now, so let's ignore that for now. Listen up, Kiana, Bronya —she's a Herrscher.]

Fu Hua's confirmation confirmed Kiana and Bronya's deductions; it was indeed true. No wonder they both felt that familiar feeling emanating from her—it stemmed from the familiarity of Honkai. Her power was indeed derived from Honkai ...

"Hmm? The offensive is slowing down, huh? This is nothing! What's wrong with you two? You just don't want to fight anymore? That's fine then. I just want to have a chat with you two..."

With exceptional sensitivity to combat, Hi Fu immediately noticed that Bronya and Kiana's attacks had weakened. They had no choice but to brace themselves and fight back, while Fu Hua's voice continued to communicate with them in their minds.

The body she inhabits is mine. It seems my memories were mixed with the Herrscher's personality, and when the Herrscher's consciousness descended into my body, it was overwhelmed by my memories, causing her to mistakenly believe that she was also me...

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Multitasking, Fu Hua was relaying information to the two girls. This wouldn't have mattered against ordinary enemies, but Hi Fu was particularly perceptive. She frowned and sensed something was wrong. The two girls weren't focused on fighting her. What were they doing?

"Kiana, you and the Class President continue discussing countermeasures! Bronya, go and hold her off!"

This won't do. It's not easy for the Class President to contact them. We absolutely can't let this guy find out. Bronya made a quick decision and handed the task of communicating to Kiana. The emotionless girl focused on dealing with the enemy in front of her. She rushed forward and engaged in a full-fledged battle with Hi Fu. Heavy-duty Rabbit, riding mode!

The mecha behind her transformed into a motorcycle, and the blue phantom in the air formed the path for the motorcycle to move forward. Bronya twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle girl crashed directly into the Hi Fu. This vehicle didn't look like it was used to directly hit people, did it? Or was this Bronya's fighting style?

"Hey, Bronya, I remember you don't have a driver's license, right? Driving without a license is wrong. As the Class President, I feel it's my responsibility to confiscate your license for a while. A naughty girl like you should be taught a lesson."

Seeing Bronya fully engaged in the battle, Hi Fu was also delighted. He flew into the air, dodging the motorcycle's impact. It turned out that Bronya's seemingly sensible and calm exterior hid such a delinquent soul. She would want to kill you at the drop of a hat. Hi Fu felt that he should properly fulfill his duties as Class President. Oh well, what could he do? He was the Class President.

"Thinking about it carefully, Kiana is still more obedient. Well, I was just thinking about it too. Two referees are actually a bit too many. It would be troublesome if there was a tie. Besides, speaking of which, I don't think I know you that well... So let you race to your heart's content. Go on, you are now the wolf of the North."

With a snap of her fingers, Hi Fu made her decision and suggested the best spot for Bronya to race. She raised her hands, and the sky seemed to change. In Bronya's eyes, skyscrapers appeared to fall from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the girl found herself in a city. Neon lights, skyscrapers... This is... Sky City?

No, this is the enemy's illusion!

The girl warily eyed the woman on the platform before her. If she could do something so unscientific, she was undoubtedly Herrscher. Bronya twisted the throttle, determined to use her mobility to avoid close combat with the enemy.

The blue energy created countless cannons, but this dense barrage of light cannons was merely a nuisance to Hi Fu; it posed no real threat. Her combat experience was far too rich, and he was no match for her. He could only stall for time.

Moreover... Bronya knew very well that she had no chance of winning in the illusion created by the other party. She had done her best, but that should have given the Class President enough time. Hopefully, it was still not too late.

As expected, Bronya was quickly defeated by the Hi Fu in the illusion. The opponent seemed to have a unique ability in terms of consciousness, so Bronya had tried her best to keep her mind focused on the battle. However, in the instant of her defeat, the girl's thoughts still drifted uncontrollably to other places, and it was this fleeting moment of consciousness that was captured by the Hi Fu.

"What do you mean, 'not too late'?"

Hi Fu questioned her, while Bronya had already fallen into a coma. She frowned and thought seriously. Bronya should have known that she was no match for her, but she... her brain was quite useful. Her mind raced, and in an instant she had guessed seven or eight parts of the truth. The girl's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Old relic... are you still there?"

Sinking his consciousness into that feather, Hi Fu questioned it, hoping he was just overthinking things.

Chapter Seventy-Two: The Body Reclaiming Plan

Taking advantage of Bronya's distraction of the Herrscher, Kiana finally had time to calm down and talk to Fu Hua, who had secretly contacted her. They both had to cherish this hard-won opportunity.

Listen to me, Kiana. Bronya can't hold on much longer. Once her opponent gets bored, she'll discover what I'm doing. That "me" possesses the power of my prime, and with the abilities of Herrscher, I'm an opponent she can't defeat.

Seizing the moment, Fu Hua explained the situation to Kiana. For the Honkai, her own body was the ideal Herrscher body. However, just as Otto's unintentional mistake pushed his body toward the Honkai side, the development of things always takes subtle turns under the circumstances.

The newly awakened Honkai Consciousness within that body was still quite simple at this stage. The Honkai shaped its basic personality, which would then mix with the body's memories to give birth to a unique Herrscher consciousness. Every Herrscher was born in this way, and the Honkai always had the upper hand. However, this time, the Honkai miscalculated; it underestimated the body's original owner.

Thousands upon thousands of years of memories were activated, and a vast ocean of thoughts overwhelmed the Herrscher's personality. Fu Hua's past surged like towering waves, its momentum almost unstoppable. Thus... without any external force, the newly formed Herrscher Persona relegated the Honkai to a secondary position, seeing herself as a warrior fighting against Honkai.

This is the first time in the endless cycle of reincarnation.

I understand, Class President. What should we do now?

Having just personally fought Hi Fu, Kiana knew that what Fu Hua said was true. However, now was not the time to admire her strength; what she wanted to know now was how to defeat her.

[The only way to break this deadlock is through strategy... Originally, I wanted to use Shen Gonglin to solve the problem, but he's far too unpredictable. If I let him speak, it might provoke the Herrscher to move in an even more uncontrollable direction. So, don't count on him for help.]

[...I see.]

Fu Hua and Kiana pondered their strategy, automatically ignoring Shen Gonglin. This guy's thought process was different from normal people; he might be tricked by the Herrscher into fighting them. Fu Hua had already figured it out; this guy had a pretty good relationship with the Herrscher, and that morning exercise must be very suspicious.

Therefore, to prevent him from betraying humanity, it's best to exclude him beforehand.

Therefore, you must question her. She doubts herself as me, yet she believes herself as me, she forces herself to be me—this is the foundation of all her actions. But fundamentally, she is just a newborn child; she still retains kindness and rationality, and the Honkai has not completely taken control of her.

This is the conclusion Fu Hua has drawn from her observations. If she realizes that she is not the person she thinks she is, if she understands her true identity, she will panic and be unable to properly use her Herrscher abilities. This is the best way now. The flaw she reveals at that moment will be their only chance.

However, Kiana, you must understand that what we need to do is not destroy her—be careful, Kiana, don't push her completely into the abyss of Honkai...

Ultimately, she is a kind-hearted girl, and Fu Hua has developed a sense of sympathy for her during their time together. Just as the Herrscher said before, she sometimes treats her like an older sister, and without realizing it, Fu Hua has also started to treat her like a younger sister.

[Oh, basically it's about soothing children, which I'm really not good at. Kiana, I'll leave it to you.]
