Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

He shouted, and saw the clouds gather in the sky, the water vapor in the atmosphere condensing into droplets.

Changkong City is located in the Far East, bordering the sea, with rich air moisture.

And he could not only control the wind, but also the water.

Bronya saw a giant water bubble appear in front of her and immediately adjusted her direction to turn.

However, at this moment, a giant water wall appeared, like a doomsday tsunami, sweeping towards her.

A hint of determination flashed in the girl's eyes, and she chose to accelerate.

She was gambling.

Chen Ran was from Schicksal, and Schicksal would not create such a terrifying natural disaster in Changkong City. Therefore, the water wall in front of her was most likely a deception to confuse her.

Bronya guessed correctly.

It was indeed a deception.

He couldn't create a large-scale tsunami from flat ground; in essence, these were just light refractions caused by water droplets in the air, like a mirage.

However, while the tsunami was fake, the water vapor was real.

After she passed through the tsunami, the expected impact did not come. But she was completely drenched.

Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Chen Ran had somehow gotten ahead of her.

The moment Bronya rushed through the 'water wall' and relaxed her guard, Chen Ran scooped her up.

"Gotcha."

Chen Ran didn't bother with Bronya's reaction and simply slung her over his shoulder, deliberately saying with a wicked grin, "I said I'd spank you hard. So, are you ready?"

Bronya: "..."

She remained silent.

Bronya had once been an assassin, and she had gone to great lengths to disguise herself for her missions, regardless of the identity.

Mere humiliation of her dignity meant nothing to her.

Then, she heard a crisp sound.

Bronya gritted her teeth, not making a sound, as a burning pain shot through her.

Chen Ran hadn't spanked her. Instead, he had placed his palm on her back.

He actually had some sense of propriety. A slap on the back could be seen as a minor correction, but a spanking would be a personal humiliation.

Even though he wouldn't be back after this simulated scenario ended, he didn't need to invite unnecessary trouble.

He could distinguish between punishment and humiliation.

Chen Ran put her down and said calmly, "If there's a next time, I'll definitely spank you."

A flicker of gratitude crossed Bronya's eyes.

She said calmly, "Mommy Cocolia asked Bronya to ask you why you are destroying the agreement between us."

"Agreement?"

Chen Ran frowned.

Bronya mused, "You don't know? Then Bronya can understand."

It was clear that Schicksal didn't take the so-called agreement to heart and was doing whatever they pleased.

Then, the agreement Cocolia mentioned had never been taken seriously by Otto.

In that case...

Schicksal had no sincerity in cooperation, and Cocolia had been deceived all along.

Realizing this, Bronya said, "In that case, I misunderstood. Goodbye."

"Don't go yet."

Chen Ran grabbed her again. "I haven't figured out what's going on. Tell me everything you know."

Bronya said calmly, "Bronya refuses. Secrets concerning Anti-Entropy cannot be revealed."

"Is that so? Then what if I reveal secrets about you?"

He suddenly leaned down to the girl's ear and whispered into her earlobe, "You have a bio-chip implanted in you, right? Have you ever thought about what would happen if the bio-chip issued commands that don't originate from your own will?"

The boy's voice was like a devil's whisper.

Bronya's pupils constricted slightly.

Her lips still repeated, "Bronya refuses to answer your question."

Chapter 63: 'Hypnotizing' Bronya (4k)

Bronya was a stubborn girl.

Even though Chen Ran had caught her and confiscated her "driver's license," she still refused to reveal the secrets of Changkong City.

However, with his foreknowledge of the plot and the information Bronya had accidentally let slip, he had a rough idea of what Cocolia was here to do.

In simple terms, Cocolia was just a pawn.

If an entire Changkong City could be exchanged for data from the Stigmata Project and the Divine Right Plan, it seemed like a profitable deal for World Serpent behind Cocolia, as well as for Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

However, this time, their target happened to be just Raiden Mei.

He looked at Bronya and said, "Last question, where is the Honkai Energy reactor?"

Bronya remained silent.

"If you don't tell me, you're not going back."

Chen Ran felt a surge of frustration, so he stopped being polite to Bronya. He took off his outer jacket, then tied Bronya's hands with it.

Ignoring the stares of others, he slung her over his shoulder.

Bronya's clothes were damp from the moisture, and since it wasn't very warm in the Far East, she soon felt chills all over her body.

Bronya could even feel her body temperature draining away.

Her brain was overcome with intense sleepiness and fatigue, and her spirit began to feel weary.

This was a precursor to a physical abnormality.

Logically speaking, as an assassin and someone Cocolia relied on, Bronya's body shouldn't have been this weak.

However, she had been exposed to the wind earlier and her body was wet. With both factors at play, she had successfully developed a fever.

Chen Ran felt Bronya's body starting to heat up.

He frowned and instinctively put Bronya down. He found that the girl was already groggy. When he touched her forehead with the back of his hand, it was alarmingly hot.

"No way."

Chen Ran instinctively scanned Bronya's body and found her clothes were soaked and had a layer of frost on them.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, "My fault."

At this point, he couldn't afford to worry about his stance. He quickly untied the clothes binding Bronya's hands and then put warmer clothes on her.

He then held her and ran quickly towards a nearby hospital.

Fortunately, during the 'chase,' they had ended up in a sparsely populated area, but they weren't completely outside the city. He soon found a secluded clinic.

"Doctor, please save her, my sister has a fever!"

The young man lied without batting an eye, putting on a look of frantic urgency as he spoke to the doctor.

The doctor, an old woman, seeing Chen Ran's anxiety, didn't dare to delay.

"It's just a fever, but it shouldn't be taken lightly. What were you doing as a brother to get her clothes all wet?"

The woman was kind-hearted. She thoughtfully took out some old clothes from her youth and said, "Quick, change your sister into these."

"Ah, I... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate between siblings?"

Chen Ran: "So you didn't notice our hair colors are different?"

He immediately changed his tune, saying, "Actually, I found this girl on the road."

The doctor looked for a long time before finally managing to blurt out, "You're not trying to skip out on the medical fees, are you?"

In short, after a series of subtle misunderstandings, Bronya's condition improved.

However, Chen Ran looked at Bronya in front of him and almost lost his composure.

He quickly took out his phone and took a picture of Bronya.

In the photo, the girl's hair was loose, her eyes were hazy, and her cheeks were flushed from the fever.

Her clothes were a style popular in the Far East thirty years ago. A thick, clumsy cotton coat wrapped around her small body, making her look like a large black paramecium.

The doctor had also kindly changed her into thermal pants and shoes, which were very thick.

Chen Ran put his phone away, completely satisfied.

The doctor sighed, "These are clothes from decades ago, and they fit perfectly. She still looks so beautiful."

"I've paid for the medicine. Consider the clothes a gift for your sister, no charge."

The woman said generously.

"It's getting late. Take her back and let her rest well. Remember not to let her get cold or catch a chill again."

She instructed Chen Ran.

The clinic was small and not equipped for overnight stays. Those with serious illnesses went to the nearby hospital.

Chen Ran naturally nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, Bronya now had basic mobility. She had woken up while taking her medicine.

Chen Ran tried to take her hand. "Let's go back."

Bronya nodded and walked out of the clinic beside him.

She knew what had happened, and it felt like a dream.

Warmth spread through her palm, and Bronya instinctively calculated how long it would take to counter the man larger than her if she used her weapon.

But such calculations were useless, as she couldn't move freely in this bulky, heavy outfit, and she no longer had her weapon.

Still, this outfit was really warm.

The girl remained expressionless, but a faint smile touched the corners of her lips after drinking the medicine.

"So, during the time you mentioned, you successfully convinced her?"

When Chen Ran brought Bronya to Raiden Mei's residence, Raiden Mei and Wendy looked at the girl before them with a hint of wariness.

Wendy, in particular, felt a sense of caution. Although Bronya looked comical now, she had personally experienced Bronya's combat prowess before.

Chen Ran sighed and said, "There was no other way."

He glanced at Bronya and then fabricated a new excuse in his mind, saying, "She wishes for Schicksal not to be involved in this matter."

"How is that possible?"

Wendy blurted out, "A Valkyrie's duty is to protect people from the Honkai."

Bronya remained silent.

She wasn't one for arguments, and she actually knew that her actions weren't stemming from a position of 'justice.'

Raiden Mei, on the other hand, seemed a bit troubled. "So, what are we going to do with her?"

Even though she knew Bronya was an enemy, she couldn't bring herself to kill or imprison her, feeling a pang of reluctance.

Bronya didn't look much older than Wendy. Rather than a villain, she seemed more like a tool for a villain.

Chen Ran looked at Wendy.
