Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

At this moment, no one was paying attention to her, who was like a speck of dust.

Chapter 62: A Special Way of Communicating with Bronya (4k)

At a ramen shop in Changkong City.

Kiana ate a large bowl of noodles with gusto, then loudly told the waiter, "Boss, another bowl!"

Raiden Mei and Wendy stared in horror at Kiana, who had already eaten three extra-large bowls of tonkotsu ramen.

There were still oil stains at the corners of the white-haired girl's mouth as she sighed with satisfaction, "I haven't eaten this much in so long."

She looked at Chen Ran, who was sitting beside her, and smiled, "Thanks for the treat."

Chen Ran spread his hands and said, "It's a waste not to use the funds Schicksal allocated. Since it's being spent on you, the headquarters won't have any objections."

Kiana blinked, "Am I that special?"

Chen Ran retorted, "Why do you think you joined Chiyou Academy?"

"Isn't it because my extraordinary talent was discovered?"

"I hope you have as much confidence during your exams."

The two of them talked like a comedy duo, with one setting up the punchlines for the other.

Sitting next to Wendy, Raiden Mei, who was opposite Kiana, asked, "But I'm really curious. ME Company's business shouldn't have anything to do with Kiana, so why..."

It wasn't good to directly mention Kiana.

But Kiana was currently useless.

Chen Ran casually asked, "Kiana, what's your last name?"

"Kaslana, why?"

Wendy, who was struggling with her noodles, suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand now."

Her eyes showed a look of 'just as I suspected,' and she said, "Kaslana is a knightly family of Schicksal. Everyone in the Kaslana family is a natural warrior against Honkai."

However, her words made Kiana a little suspicious. "My old man mentioned this, but I always thought he was just messing with me."

She asked Wendy, "Do you know where my father is? His name is Siegfried."

Wendy shook her head, "I don't pay attention to that, but if you want to know, you can come to the Far East Branch. I'll introduce you to Teacher Theresa. She's in her forties and should know a lot."

Kiana immediately perked up, "Okay."

Chen Ran sighed from the side.

He finally understood why the Far East Branch sent someone over.

So, this was all within your plan, Otto?

However, from his own perspective, he had no urge to expose the entire Sirin Plan right now.

After all, he had seen the plot and understood that some things were 'necessary sacrifices.'

Ultimately, if he had defeated Finality, none of this would have happened.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking.

Kiana said impatiently, "Then... then after we finish dealing with things in Changkong City, I'll go with you to that place, the Far East Branch, and find your Teacher Theresa."

Raiden Mei seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Chen Ran saw her thoughts and said, "You are special. Schicksal will make arrangements for you."

He paused, "But that's not something I can decide."

There were too many things Chen Ran couldn't decide.

However, at this point, Raiden Mei shouldn't become a Herrscher again.

After all, the previous Raiden Mei was saved by Kiana in her despair, but now it was different; she hadn't even felt despair.

Of course, Honkai was unpredictable.

He couldn't let his guard down until the System reminded him that he had cleared the stage.

Just then, his communicator chimed with a message notification.

An email was delivered to his phone.

"Phew, Wendy, Mei, I need to leave for a bit."

He had to admit, the computer knowledge provided by the System was very useful.

Although he had left ME Company in advance, he had planted his own Trojan horse within their internal network.

Raiden Ryoma had only recently been imprisoned, and Cocolia didn't have complete control over that place. He believed Cocolia would still use ME Company.

This was the source of Anti-Entropy's free funds. Would Cocolia let it go?

Even if Cocolia really let it go, Chen Ran didn't believe that ME Company's network wouldn't have any secrets.

The prompt tone from earlier was the one carried by the Trojan horse, concerning data from ME Company.

It had to be admitted that ME Company's internal firewall was truly excellent. Even without Raiden Ryoma, and with the security department in passive standby, it still took Chen Ran's Trojan horse a long time to transfer the data out.

His eyes scanned the documents at a thousand words per glance, skipping over ME Company's production information to search for the most crucial item.

The location of the Honkai Energy reactor.

A fact that should have been obvious: if Cocolia planned to cause a Honkai outbreak in Changkong City, she wouldn't have acted on impulse. Instead, she would have made all the necessary arrangements beforehand before initiating the plan.

Otherwise, setting aside everything else, if Raiden Ryoma suddenly fell from power, could Cocolia guarantee Schicksal wouldn't interfere?

It seemed she actually could.

While reviewing the data, Chen Ran mused, "It seems that apart from me mentioning Anti-Entropy's actions to headquarters, headquarters hasn't provided any information."

"Does headquarters not value Anti-Entropy?"

This was a question worth pondering.

But Chen Ran gave up after a brief moment of thought.

He had no intention of delving into the truth behind Changkong City; he just wanted to finish the simulation scenario quickly and return.

The information brought by the Trojan horse was, as he had predicted, some data about the Honkai Energy reactor.

However, what made Chen Ran frown was that information regarding the Honkai Energy reactor had already been transferred into Changkong City before Raiden Ryoma was imprisoned.

"Tsk."

His eyes fell into contemplation. "If the Sirin Plan was a plan centered around Kiana, then the Divine Right Plan is a supplement to the Sirin Plan."

"Changkong City is indeed quite ill-fated. Perhaps it really should be renamed."

A hint of thought flickered in his eyes. Just then, his communicator issued an alert.

"Damn it, a Trojan horse was installed."

The instant the alarm blared, a premonition flashed through his mind.

A bullet shot towards Chen Ran.

Chen Ran reacted swiftly, instinctively deflecting, only to realize the bullet landed ten meters to his left, hitting a target.

In other words, even if he hadn't dodged, the bullet wouldn't have hit him.

He looked up and saw Bronya standing on a building across the way.

It was clearly an "exchange."

Chen Ran didn't hesitate and followed suit.

Disregarding the astonished gazes of those around him, he leaped high from the flat ground and ascended the building with the aid of the wind.

Undoubtedly, this would cause public outcry, but for Chen Ran, this was, after all, a simulation scenario.

What did future public outcry have to do with him now?

Chen Ran thought this and acted accordingly.

Bronya, not to be outdone, leaped from her building towards another direction.

More accurately, she wasn't leaping but being carried down by the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit.

This special machine, gifted by Seele, could help Bronya tread on any terrain as if it were level ground, because the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit could fly.

The machine behind the girl acted like a knight, protecting Bronya from being caught by Chen Ran.

Chen Ran clicked his tongue. "I'm not playing a racing game with you."

"But if you want to play a game, I'll play with you."

Although he hadn't grown wings, his speed would increase thanks to his mastery of fluid manipulation.

Even if using his authority expedited the consumption of his mental capacity, it didn't matter. His mental capacity could be slowly restored anyway.

From this aspect, Chen Ran had no lingering concerns.

As Chen Ran drew closer, Bronya frowned.

"According to intelligence gathered by Anti-Entropy, the Chiyou Academy teacher named Chen Ran is a special intelligence member of Schicksal, and is involved for unknown reasons."

Cocolia's voice came through her earpiece: "According to the agreement, Schicksal should not have interfered in Changkong City's affairs. Now there are two possibilities: the Bishop of Schicksal has gone back on his word, or he acted on his own initiative. Bronya, your mission is to ascertain his background. We have no need to provoke unnecessary trouble."

"Bronya understands."

"What are you doing? Why is there a sound on your communicator?"

"It's the wind," Bronya said expressionlessly. "Bronya just fired a shot and is now escaping."

She paused and added, "This is the fastest way to communicate with someone."

Cocolia: "..."

She somehow felt that this child had a peculiar misunderstanding of communication.

Chen Ran was fast, but Bronya was no slower.

After he leaped onto a tall building and then down again, he saw Bronya already riding the motorcycle that the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit had transformed into.

"Tch, did I stir up her competitive spirit?"

He frowned and chose to continue the chase.

As he pursued, he shouted, "You'd better run faster, or when I catch you, I'll give you a good spanking."

Bronya remained expressionless.

Chen Ran could use his physical advantage to make threats, and she naturally couldn't retaliate in that regard.

Besides, making threats wasn't her style.

Ambushing was.

Chen Ran suddenly felt a sense of danger. A bullet had been fired at some point, and it was about to pierce his shoulder.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the wind vortex directly deflected its trajectory. However, even so, the bullet had narrowly missed his body.

"Tch, this already counts as you provoking me first. Since that's the case,"

"I don't need to hold back anymore."

Mastering the power of fluids was actually more terrifying than imagined.

Chen Ran, at the moment, hadn't unleashed the full potential of ideal fluids, because in the real world, ideal fluids simply didn't exist, and he couldn't create something out of nothing.

However, he could control other fluids.

And fluids could not only accelerate him but also interfere with others.

"You'd better be careful next."

"Wind and rain, heed my command!"
