Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

To the current Flame-Chaser, Mobius is a national treasure. Nothing must happen to her.

Her duties also included taking care of Mobius.

She said, "I'll go to the cafeteria and bring you a portion."

"The cafeteria... that works too. Oh, right, that person named Chen... Chen what was it?"

"Chen Ran."

"Ah, bring him a portion too, and tell him to report directly to the First Research Institute," Mobius said faintly.

Blanca nodded. "Understood. I'll handle it."

Chapter 39: He's Gone

When Chen Ran arrived in this world once more, he felt a sense of disorientation.

He was still at St. Freya, but no one could see him.

Even when Valkyries brushed past him, the people who brushed past him couldn't see him.

"Now I've really quantum-shifted."

Chen Ran was somewhat silent.

This simulation was a meaningless act that only wasted time. No one could see him, and no one even remembered him.

It was as if he had never been to this world.

The System would automatically correct a world where he hadn't been, and he had nothing but memories.

No, to be precise, he still had the ability to control the wind.

The authority granted by the System could also be used within the simulation.

He tried to adapt to the knowledge of fluids in his mind.

The authority of a Herrscher was essentially the ultimate extension of physical laws. For example, the authority of the Herrscher of Wind was to control all fluids, including Newtonian fluids.

However, the ultimate form of the Herrscher of Wind was to create an ideal fluid.

In human understanding of physics, an ideal fluid with zero viscosity does not exist in reality. Therefore, the Herrscher of Wind's combat domain should be in realms outside of reality.

For example, the Imaginary.

Or, like the quantum state he was in now.

Wind began to gather at his fingertips.

However, he couldn't stir up even a ripple in his surroundings.

After a long while, Chen Ran fell silent.

"For now, I should go find Wendy. Just take a look and leave," he thought.

However, finding someone here wasn't easy. He pondered for a moment and decided to go to Theresa's office first.

If anyone was most likely to have news of Wendy, it would be Schicksal, so finding Theresa was the quickest way.

However, just as he arrived at Theresa's office, he saw Theresa angrily questioning Otto on the video call.

"Grandpa, why did you send a Valkyrie squad to capture Wendy? She's a Valkyrie too!"

In response to her questioning, Otto calmly replied, "She is a Herrscher now."

"Within half a month of the Third Herrscher's appearance, the Fourth Herrscher also appeared. It was identified that the Fourth Herrscher was Wendy, who had previously undergone an experiment to integrate the Gem of Desire. After the experiment was declared complete, she was brought back to the Far East Branch."

On a flying fleet above the Atlantic, Alvit from the Third Squad's technical department of the Blade of Immovability was explaining the investigation details to Rita and Durandal.

"After that, St. Freya was attacked by a joint force from Anti-Entropy, and Wendy was recovered by Anti-Entropy personnel. For unknown reasons, Wendy became a Herrscher and broke free from Anti-Entropy's control."

She continued, "The newly born Herrscher returned to St. Freya briefly before leaving. It seems she had a discussion with the leader of the Far East Branch, which ended unpleasantly."

"Afterward, she headed to the Oceanic Branch at extremely high speed and was intercepted by Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy failed to stop the Herrscher, but the chaos caused by the Herrscher of Wind had already begun to spread worldwide."

"The United Nations is urging Schicksal to resolve this matter quickly, as public opinion is becoming difficult to suppress."

The impact Wendy caused was too great.

Although she had not destroyed any cities, individuals flying around disregarding air traffic rules were targets for radar and satellites of various countries.

Schicksal was truly afraid that some fool would open fire on Wendy directly, which would turn a just cause into an unjust one.

At this point, Schicksal Headquarters could only dispatch the strongest ace, the Blade of Immovability, to retrieve the Herrscher.

However, what was causing everyone a headache was that Wendy, as a Herrscher, was incredibly fast, and her next target was uncertain.

"Intelligence personnel are doing their best to analyze the Herrscher's objective, but there are no results yet," Alvit stated.

Durandal, with her golden-blonde hair, narrowed her eyes. "So, our current task is just to wander around randomly?"

Alvit blinked. "It's not that complicated. According to the technical department's calculations, Wendy should pass through this area again. Learning mathematics always proves useful."

As a member of the Blade of Immovability's technical department, Alvit's mathematical and computational abilities were naturally beyond question.

Schicksal is, after all, the world's number one organization, so it has attracted many talented individuals.

Mathematics is omniscience of the world. Calculating a person's next move through mathematics is actually a very normal thing. At least for Alvit, this is something she excels at.

The data from Wendy's previous actions is sufficient.

Durandal nodded.

Although Alvit is often unreliable, this point is still very useful. Otherwise, she wouldn't be with the Blade of Immovability.

Rita, standing to the side, hesitated to speak, "Lady Bianca."

"What is it?"

"I just wanted to ask about Lady Bianca's adaptation to the new battlesuit. That Herrscher excels at high-altitude combat, which is different from ground battles..."

Although Durandal displays great dominance on the ground, it's hard to say how much combat effectiveness she can exert at high altitudes.

In the high altitudes, she cannot borrow force to exert power, rendering half of her proud throwing abilities useless.

Even though the fourth-generation Valkyrie battlesuit, Moonfrost, also has high-altitude combat capabilities, a battlesuit is still just a battlesuit.

Just as Durandal was about to say something, she suddenly heard Alvit's startled cry, "Unknown life forms are rapidly approaching. Captain, Vice-Captain, the target has arrived."

"Understood."

Durandal looked up at the sky, "Open the hangar bay immediately!"

"Not here."

"Not here either."

"Why... why would someone disappear without a trace, even having their tracks erased?"

The girl soared through the sky above the sea like a free bird, yet at this moment, she was not free.

She was bound by the shackles of 'emotions,' intending to search the entire world for the person in her memories.

However, everyone who had ever seen him said they didn't know him.

Wendy searched through St. Freya and the Oceanic Branch, but found nothing.

If it weren't for the Herrscher Core retaining that memory, she might have suspected it was just a figment of her imagination during a moment of weakness.

Suddenly, she remembered what Bronya had said.

"He's a liar."

Just as Wendy was pondering why Bronya had said that, she suddenly felt a sense of danger and instinctively dodged.

A flash of white light streaked past her side.

She looked back and saw a flying fleet in the sky above the sea where she was, but the person who emitted the white light was a girl.

"Durandal?"

Wendy called out her name.

"Your actions must end here."

Durandal's gaze was indifferent as she looked at Wendy and said, "You were once a Valkyrie, you should know the trouble you've caused the world."

The girl bit her lip lightly and said, "I'm sorry, I just want to find someone."

"Schicksal can help you."

"I tried asking for help," Wendy interrupted, "but he's just gone."

PS. Recommending a book

"It's Time, Dr. Skullcrusher's Turn to Log In"

A very interesting and exciting book.

You won't regret picking it up.

Chapter 40: Wendy vs. Durandal

Wendy's words left Durandal feeling inexplicably confused.

According to Schicksal's investigation, there were no records of Wendy being close to anyone. And if she was referring to Theresa, Theresa was at St. Freya.

Could someone have secretly contacted Wendy?

It wasn't impossible, just like no one expected Anti-Entropy to attack St. Freya, right?

Durandal stated bluntly, "There are many reasons why someone might disappear. They could be dead, or they could have been taken. What you cannot do alone, Schicksal can help you with."

Wendy shook her head, "Schicksal cannot help me."

An individual disappears, their traces vanish, and they even completely disappear from others' memories.

If Schicksal could help her, she would have sought their assistance long ago, not be in this situation now.

However, Durandal only felt that this was Wendy's excuse.

"I am not here to discuss with you."

She paused, her hand gripping her lance. "Then, let's fight."

"I also want to know just how strong a Herrscher truly is."

As her words fell, she immediately attacked Wendy.

Her form was like a meteor, moving at incredible speed. Wendy hastily dodged, then manipulated the storm to interfere with her.

At this point, she was still holding back; she had no intention of killing anyone.

When Chen Ran heard from Theresa that Schicksal had already dispatched a team to retrieve Wendy, he became extremely anxious.

"How did things turn out this way?"

He couldn't understand.

According to Theresa's description, Wendy's Herrscher transformation hadn't harmed anyone, and as the Divine Right Plan was a supplement to the Sirin Plan, Otto had no reason to oppose Wendy.

Furthermore, as a Valkyrie, Wendy possessed a strong sense of responsibility and wouldn't casually go against Schicksal.

Even though he was happy to learn that Wendy was unharmed in the simulation, still...

He subconsciously wanted to say something to Theresa, but Theresa couldn't hear his voice or see his body at all.

Despite being in the same world, he remained detached from it.

"Calm down, Chen Ran."
