"Bronya, for some reason, the Third Herrscher's vessel's emotions are stabilizing. This will greatly impact our plan."
"During this time, you are to infiltrate Senba Academy, investigate the cause of the vessel's emotional stability, and then report back to me."
Listening to the voice from the headset, the girl spoke expressionlessly:
"Bronya understands."
This girl had light gray twin-tails and gray pupils, and was very cute.
She was holding a yellow Haxxor Bunny plush in her arms. Although she was an adult, she still had a childlike heart.
Her full name was: Bronya Zaychik.
After cutting off communication, Bronya pondered how to sneak into Senba Academy while looking up.
The next moment, she suddenly noticed a handsome young man running rapidly towards her, followed by a strange girl chasing him.
"What is this..."
Bronya frowned, instantly recognizing the young man as a human corrupted by Honkai.
At the same time, she immediately understood the current situation.
"Heavy-Duty Bunny 19C..."
Bronya said softly, preparing to summon Heavy-Duty Bunny to intercept the crazy woman after the young man passed.
Although her emotional circuits were missing, she felt a good impression of the young man the moment she saw him.
This feeling made Bronya, who had long lacked emotions, feel very peculiar, and thus she had the thought of saving him.
Soon, the young man arrived beside her, and Bronya was about to summon Heavy-Duty Bunny.
However, the next moment, the young man suddenly paused as he passed.
Then he scooped Bronya up from her wheelchair into his arms and continued running.
Bronya: "???"
Chapter 30: Raiden Mei is Waiting for News
After scooping the girl in the wheelchair into his arms, Su Moqian didn't dare to stop for a moment and kept running forward.
Although he felt a bit ashamed for involving this unfamiliar girl, it was the only way.
The girl was in a wheelchair, clearly with limited mobility. If he hadn't helped her, she would have been impaled by Asakura Miyuki's thorns, and that would have been the end.
Fortunately, the light gray-haired girl was petite and light, so holding her wouldn't significantly affect his speed.
"Hey, put Bronya down quickly..."
Being suddenly held by a strange man, Bronya was clearly uncomfortable.
However, fortunately, due to "Natural Affinity," Su Moqian gave Bronya a good impression.
Otherwise, Bronya wouldn't just be struggling now; she would have already attacked.
Sensing the girl in his arms becoming restless, Su Moqian helplessly patted her head and said urgently:
"Behave yourself. The woman chasing me is a monster. If I abandon you, you won't survive!"
Su Moqian didn't explicitly mention her disability, but the meaning was clear.
Hearing this, Bronya disdainfully raised her head and looked back at Asakura Miyuki.
"Tch, isn't she just a human corrupted by Honkai energy? I can easily..."
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, three more thorny vines stabbed out, creating pits in the concrete ground Su Moqian had just stepped on.
"Wait, this aura, could it be..."
Sensing something was wrong, Bronya's lips parted, and she couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Why is this happening? Mother Cocolia's plan didn't mention a Pseudo-Herrscher appearing in Changkong City!"
Upon realizing the other party was a Pseudo-Herrscher, Bronya obediently buried her head in Su Moqian's arms and let him carry her.
Because Bronya knew very well that even if she and Heavy-Duty Bunny teamed up, they wouldn't be a match for a Pseudo-Herrscher.
She hadn't seen Seele yet, and she didn't want to die like this!
Meanwhile, at Asakura Miyuki's home.
"Thank you, Kiana, thank you so much!"
"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't know what else I would have gone through..."
Looking at the girls she had rescued thanking her profusely, Kiana wasn't as proud as usual.
Instead, she said with a grim expression, "You shouldn't be thanking me, but Su Moqian."
"If Su Moqian hadn't told me the truth and lured Asakura Miyuki away by himself, I wouldn't have had the chance to save you!"
Hearing Kiana's words, the girls all showed looks of terror:
"What? Su-kun is facing that demon alone?"
"That's way too dangerous! Let's hurry and save him!"
"Yeah, yeah! Since he saved us by risking himself, we have to go help too."
Upon hearing this, Kiana shook her head: "No, your stamina is too weak. Going would just be a burden. Go home quickly."
"As for Moqian, leave him to me."
With that, Kiana walked out of the house without looking back. She looked in the direction Su Moqian had fled, silently gripping the gun in her hand.
That was a Pseudo-Herrscher. Even if she used Kaslana Gun Fu, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat it.
"Even though there's no chance of winning, but..."
Kiana pursed her lips, her eyes growing firmer:
"Moqian, wait for me!"
At this moment, Su Moqian was holding Bronya and dodging Asakura Miyuki's pursuit, while Kiana, having completed her task, chose to go support Su Moqian.
So, what was Su Moqian's ex-girlfriend, Raiden Mei, doing?
Raiden Family.
Raiden Mei, lying on the bed, was holding her phone and struggling internally.
"Strange, Moqian should have been home long ago. Why hasn't he messaged me yet? Could something have happened?"
Seeing Mei's distress, the Herrscher of Thunder spoke helplessly:
"Since you're so worried, why don't you just call him?"
"No," Raiden Mei shook her head.
"I still need to maintain my cool persona. If I call him first, won't that be like returning to how we were when we were dating?!"
"Besides, if we can communicate now, he should be the one to message me first, right?"
Mei pouted and reluctantly placed her phone by her pillow.
Seeing Mei like this, the Thunder Law sighed and was about to try and persuade her when her expression suddenly changed.
"Wait a moment, Mei, I think I'm sensing the aura of a Pseudo-Herrscher."
The Herrscher of Thunder asked with a confused look: "Pseudo-Herrscher? What's that?"
The Herrscher of Thunder frowned and explained:
"Pseudo-Herrschers are advanced beings ranked below Herrschers. They are humans who have been transformed by Honkai energy and granted powerful abilities. The most common reasons for their creation are the transformation of high-grade MANTIS or humans with high compatibility."
"The Honkai concentration in Changkong City is currently subtly rising. It's very likely that some people have already been corrupted by Honkai energy."
"If the corrupted person possesses strong willpower, or if their desire for something reaches an extreme, they might even be promoted to a Pseudo-Herrscher."
Hearing the Thunder Law's explanation, Raiden Mei sat up abruptly from the bed:
"Miss Herrscher, do you know where the Pseudo-Herrscher is?"
Upon hearing this, the Thunder Law comforted her: "Don't worry. From my senses, the Pseudo-Herrscher's location is not close to the Su family's residence, so you don't need to worry. Su Moqian will definitely be safe."
"Moreover, since the other party is so conspicuous after gaining power, I believe the Valkyrie unit in this city will be dispatched soon."
Raiden Mei breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down on the bed.
"Phew, it's good that Moqian is okay."
"Hey, Moqian, are you really okay right now?"
Bronya, held in his arms, looked at Su Moqian nervously.
Through their brief exchange, they had learned each other's names.
Su Moqian had been running with her for quite some time, all while having to dodge attacks from behind. This was already an impossible task for an ordinary person.
Panting heavily, Su Moqian no longer had the energy to answer Bronya's question.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed only on the road ahead, and he kept cheering himself on:
"As long as, as long as I can reach that place..."
Although Su Moqian gritted his teeth, humans ultimately had their limits.
After running with a girl for so long, Su Moqian's stamina was long gone, and his legs grew heavier and heavier.
And the voice behind him grew closer and closer:
"Moqian, my Moqian! Become mine completely!"
Chapter 31: Crisis Approaches, Two Souls Bound Together!
Listening to the voice behind him, Su Moqian felt anxious, but his body grew weaker. His legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Asakura Miyuki clearly noticed this as well, and while the opponent was falling, another Thorn pierced through.
Su Moqian, who had been distracted by the movements behind him, felt his heart tighten upon seeing the attack.
Damn it, I can't dodge this...
Bang!
The sound of gunfire echoed through the night sky, shattering the Thorn vine that had attempted a sneak attack.
"Moqian, this young lady is here to save you!"
As soon as the voice fell, Kiana, clad in a white school uniform, descended from the sky and landed directly in front of Asakura Miyuki.
Before she could react, Kiana's hands, holding a pistol, attacked without hesitation.
First, her right fist shot out, and as she pulled the trigger to fire, she followed up with a right hook.
Upon hitting Asakura Miyuki's cheek, she threw a left uppercut towards her temple.
With her right hand recovering, it shot out and smashed heavily onto the opponent's chin. Seizing the opportunity, she retracted her left hand, pulled the trigger, and another bullet burst forth.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots and the sounds of flesh colliding rang out, but Asakura Miyuki still did not fall.
Although Asakura Miyuki's combat awareness was not strong and she couldn't dodge attacks, her physical durability was extremely high. Even taking a full combo like this had no effect.
Tch. Kiana realized this as well.
The next moment, she spun around sharply, her right leg folding and gathering power, seemingly preparing for a whip kick.
Seeing this, Asakura Miyuki instinctively raised her left arm to block.
However, what she didn't expect was that Kiana retracted her right leg not to increase the power of the whip kick.
