Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

"Understood."

Wendy's eyes immediately grew serious. In just a few moves, she knocked out both guards.

Kiana, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Nice moves, Wendy! You're really good."

"I've always been number one in hand-to-hand combat at St. Freya," she accepted the praise without any modesty.

Chen Ran couldn't help but look at Wendy a couple more times.

It was clear that the personality Wendy was displaying now was vastly different from how she would be later.

At this moment, she was more like 'The Free Wind.'

Wendy, feeling his gaze, looked at Chen Ran. "What is it?"

"Nothing, I just think you're really cool."

Kiana, a little displeased, chimed in, "Hmph, leave the next enemies to me! I'll show you what cool gun fu looks like."

Dealing with the security guards was only the first step. Chen Ran's objective was to find an object related to the Honkai Energy reactor through ME Company.

It was logical that if Cocolia wanted to install a Honkai Energy reactor in Changkong City, her most convenient method would be to use ME Company as a cover.

In fact, ME Company, located in the heart of Changkong City, was the most ideal place to bury a Honkai Energy reactor.

However, Cocolia might not be setting things up right now. Chen Ran had a hunch.

As Chen Ran and the others infiltrated ME Company, on the thirty-second floor, Cocolia received a lot of messages from Raiden Mei.

"Schicksal... Heh, they're quite fast."

Just as Otto had planted people around Kiana, Cocolia had also planted people around Raiden Mei.

The information Chen Ran had was not wrong; Cocolia was indeed looking for an opportunity to attempt an 'Artificial Herrscher.' What Chen Ran didn't know was that Raiden Ryoma wasn't captured, but was Cocolia's collaborator.

It was Raiden Ryoma himself who implanted the Conquest Gem into Raiden Mei.

The reason he did this was simple: the Stigmata power within Raiden Mei was uncontrollable, and it was also the reason her mother died.

This was the only way he could prevent himself from losing his daughter again.

Of course, the injection experiment at the time carried a very high risk. He had even forged the Plasma Shadow Show Blade, which was for the most critical moments.

It was precisely because of this knowledge that Cocolia proposed the collaboration with Raiden Ryoma. She offered a deal he absolutely couldn't refuse: to make Raiden Mei the Herrscher with consciousness in this era.

The ravages of the Honkai were becoming more rampant. Only in this way, even if humanity ultimately couldn't fight the Honkai, Raiden Mei would be able to survive until the end.

Otherwise, with Cocolia's capabilities, she would have no way to deal with Raiden Ryoma, who had ample financial resources.

A simple thought: how could Raiden Ryoma, who could single-handedly build a company as large as ME Company, be just a research scholar who knew nothing, like Einstein and Tesla?

Cocolia's method for nurturing a Herrscher was also simple: use external factors to stimulate Raiden Mei's negative emotions, and use the method of accelerating Honkai to make Changkong City create a Herrscher.

And because of the intense emotions, this Herrscher would naturally be Raiden Mei.

Afterward, she would retrieve Raiden Mei and rely on the X-10 experiment to stimulate the Stigmata power within Raiden Mei, thus making her a Herrscher controlled by human consciousness.

This way, Cocolia would also have a chance to glimpse the Sea of Quantum and bring Seele out.

Everything was ready for her.

Raiden Ryoma was imprisoned with a tarnished record, and the students of Chiyou Academy, under her arrangement, directly ostracized Raiden Mei. All that remained was to wait for the right time.

At the appropriate moment, she only needed to let this city fall to the Honkai, and the plan would succeed.

But...

Schicksal had intercepted her.

"Bronya, it's up to you now."

Her eyes fell on Raiden Mei on the camera feed, and she said, "Find an opportunity to eliminate those people from Schicksal."

"Okay, Mother."

Bronya's eyes slightly narrowed as she asked, "Should I act directly?"

"You decide. You understand how important this mission is," Cocolia paused and added, "Remember, do it in the most secure way."

Chapter Fifty-One: ME Company's New Assistant: Bronya

When Chen Ran and the others entered ME Company, they found the vast company sparsely staffed, with only a few people on duty. The employees responsible for operations were nowhere to be seen, replaced by Titans.

Wendy's eyes held a hint of caution. "These are Anti-Entropy's latest unmanned Titans. Be careful."

The battle had already begun the moment they broke in.

Kiana, on the side, grumbled, "So many mechs, how rich is this Anti-Entropy organization?"

She held a baseball bat in her hand, trying to calculate which was harder, a Titan or the bat.

Raiden Mei looked at Kiana and sighed, "I still don't understand why you're part of this operation."

Kiana puffed out her cheeks. "Don't say that, I'm very capable."

Wendy seemed eager to fight. "The Titans haven't attacked us yet. Should I strike first and dismantle them?"

Chen Ran said, "Let's wait. They've deployed so many Titans; they must have discovered us arriving here."

He opened the special computer on his wrist, and a 3D model of ME Company appeared before everyone.

"This is a 3D map of ME Company sent to me by headquarters. Based on this map, the most suitable location to cause Honkai energy to spread throughout Changkong City would be the top floor of ME Company."

He continued, "However, Cocolia hasn't made a move yet, so she must be waiting for some opportunity."

Raiden Mei pondered for a moment and asked, "Could it be that she feels the cost is too high, and she can't make up her mind?"

"Impossible."

Wendy said, "I've heard of Cocolia. That vixen isn't someone who shows mercy."

Between the Second Honkai War and the present, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were only engaged in minor skirmishes, with no large-scale conflicts.

Yet, Cocolia, a survivor of the Second Honkai War, had managed to thrive within Anti-Entropy. Naturally, she fell under Schicksal's intelligence network.

She was cunning and skilled at manipulating power, and under her influence, Anti-Entropy had gradually moved towards division. Schicksal couldn't have been happier about this.

But the current situation was that Cocolia was not content with just being on the Anti-Entropy stage.

Chen Ran clicked his tongue and said, "Perhaps that vixen is waiting for us right now."

He didn't know what Cocolia considered the conditions for triggering a large-scale Honkai in Changkong City, but it didn't seem to be happening now.

Just as Chen Ran finished speaking, they heard the sound of the central elevator doors opening.

Bronya, dressed in a suit and tie, with her signature twin-drill pigtails and petite frame, emerged from the elevator.

"Hello."

The girl said expressionlessly, "I am the new assistant of ME Company, Bronya Zaychik. May I ask what you need?"

Raiden Mei's eyes narrowed slightly. "You're the new assistant? How come I didn't know?"

"Bronya has complete appointment documents."

Kiana scoffed, "Shorty, are you even twelve? ME Company shouldn't be at the point of hiring child labor yet."

Bronya's body was indeed very small, but the girl corrected her, "Calculating from the current time, Bronya is already 13 years old."

"So she really is a child laborer," Kiana grumbled.

Wendy, on the other hand, felt indignant. "What's wrong with being a child laborer? I'm only 13 too."

Kiana blinked. "No way, you're only 13?"

Upon hearing this, Bronya looked at Wendy, her eyes narrowing slightly.

At this moment, although Wendy's appearance bore some resemblance to Seele, her demeanor was radiant and filled with strong confidence, making her completely different from Seele.

Raiden Mei looked at Bronya and said, "I am Raiden Mei, the daughter of ME Company's president, and I also hold shares in ME Company. Why am I unaware of any changes in the company's management? Bronya, I require an explanation."

Bronya tilted her head. "Bronya does not understand."

Kiana gripped her baseball bat. "Shorty, you'd better understand, or we won't be polite."

"Hostile intent detected. Heavy Onslaught Rabbit, counterattack!"

To everyone's astonishment, a giant robot suddenly appeared behind Bronya.

Chen Ran quipped, "These days, even robots can summon spirits from behind."

Unlike the shy, female robot seen in games, the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit before him was a super-dangerous robotic unit equipped with large-caliber cannons pointed directly at them.

Thinking of the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit, Chen Ran was suddenly reminded of the Divine Key system.

"Speaking of which, can I actually craft a Divine Key myself?"

"Each Herrscher's authority corresponds to the authority of a physical law. If I understood all of them, then crafting a Divine Key might not be difficult."

Chen Ran felt his thoughts were getting a bit too fanciful.

Raiden Mei's eyes became stern, while Wendy's expression turned serious. "They've brought out heavy firepower. I'll handle this person."

The girl's figure flickered as she attempted to subdue Bronya directly.

However, a light membrane barrier immediately surged around Bronya, and the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit's cannons turned to aim at Wendy.

"Enemy attack detected. Heavy Onslaught Rabbit Annihilation Mode activated."

"Fire!"

A beam of light shot directly at Wendy. Seeing this, she instinctively dodged to the side, and at the same time, pressed a button on her Valkyrie armor's waist.

Time-Space Rupture System, activate!

This time-space rupture, a research achievement obtained from the Second Herrscher's corpse, had become standard equipment for the third-generation Valkyrie armor at this stage.

Although it was only a simple two-second paralysis, it was enough for Wendy.

Holding a pistol in her hand, the girl circled behind Bronya and fired at the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit.

Bronya, with a blank expression, turned and continued her attack on Wendy. The Heavy Onslaught Rabbit immediately created a row of bullet holes and fired a volley at Wendy.

Just then, a gust of wind came from behind her.

Kiana leaped high into the air, aiming her baseball bat at Bronya's head.

Chen Ran, watching from the side, was dumbfounded. "She's really brave."

As expected, before Kiana could hit Bronya, the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit's cannon ports directly aimed at Kiana.

Kiana: "Uh..."

At that moment, a strong gust of wind swept in, enveloping Kiana.

It turned out Chen Ran was controlling the fluid, directly wrapping around the cannonballs fired by the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit.

"Give it up, Duck**, we came prepared."

Bronya's pupils contracted slightly. "Have the auxiliary functions of the Valkyrie armor reached this level already?"

The barrier on her body began to be squeezed by Chen Ran's wind, and under high-speed consumption, it was about to disappear.

On the other side, Wendy also aimed her gun at Bronya.

"Phew, that was close, I almost capsized."

She felt a little relieved, then looked at Bronya. "Hmph, you should surrender now, right?"
