Thinking of this, Su Moqian took out his phone and sent his mother a message.
After setting down his phone, Su Moqian muttered, "As for what I can do tonight, I'll have to work on Bronya here."
Because Bronya was on a mission and wouldn't easily disobey her superior, love alone was not enough for now.
Just like during the previous simulation, although Bronya knew Cocolia's plan, she had never tried to stop her.
It was only when Su Moqian's life was threatened that Bronya rushed out to resist Cocolia...
Though it had been useless, and Cocolia had instead taken control of her, turning her into some kind of Dark Bronya.
"So, for now, I still need something that can immediately restrain Bronya."
As he pondered this, Su Moqian suddenly thought of something.
He immediately opened the system and looked at the core skill he had obtained: Wrath of the Minotaur.
Chapter 59: Wrath of the Minotaur, Special Summoning!
Su Moqian was lying in his room when a sudden thought occurred to him. What would happen if he used Wrath of the Minotaur on Bronya?
"After obtaining this skill, I've never used it before. This is the perfect time to give it a try."
Su Moqian stared at the system interface and focused slightly. Just as he was about to use the skill, the system's voice suddenly rang out:
[Wait a moment, Host. Have you forgotten the requirements for using this skill?] [You have to perform the ritual in front of the target and shout the incantation first~]
"Uh... I think that's right."
Su Moqian thought about it. When he had obtained the skill, there really had been such a description.
Thinking of this, Su Moqian pursed his lips and hesitated.
His instincts told him that this ridiculous ritual was definitely not that simple.
After thinking it over, Su Moqian decided to ask a few more questions:
"System, can you describe the process for using the skill in detail?"
[Ah, the process is simple. Host, pick up an iron hammer and a frying pan, go in front of Bronya, and bang them loudly while shouting: "Brave bull, fear no difficulty!"] [Then, Host, return to your room, open the system, and select Bronya as the target for the skill.]
Su Moqian: "???"
After pondering for a moment, Su Moqian suddenly asked, "Wait a second. This humiliating ritual has nothing to do directly with using the skill, does it?"
[Ahem, how could it not? The main reason is that this system was worried Host would suffer psychological pressure the first time he used a minotaur skill.] [That's why I came up with this. Look at how wonderful these eight words are. They're perfect for inspiring a minotaur!]
Su Moqian: "...Bullshit. Hurry up and die!"
He had never imagined that this damn system would actually hide a trap in the skill description, trying to make him embarrass himself.
[Tch, what did I do wrong? I only wanted to see my master in the humiliating version...]
Hearing this, Su Moqian immediately said, "Shut up! Damn system, if you keep this up, I'll never trust you again!"
In the end, the guilty system chose to compensate him with one hundred points of Wish Power to make up for the psychological harm it had caused its host.
After this farce ended, Su Moqian reopened the system interface and used the skill without any hesitation.
"The selected target is Bronya."
The next moment, a sudden understanding rose in Su Moqian's heart. All the selectable targets appeared in his mind.
However, what surprised Su Moqian was that Bronya had very few things she valued—only a handful.
Most of them seemed to be the children from the orphanage, while the only adult was Cocolia.
Suddenly, a bold idea arose in Su Moqian's heart:
"Should I pull Cocolia over and blast her with a cannon, killing her outright?"
However, this thought appeared for only an instant before Su Moqian rejected it.
"No, no. She's a ruthless woman who created the Honkai and destroyed cities. She must be an old fox. Who knows how many tricks she has up her sleeve? I might not even be able to beat her right now."
"Besides, what if she turns Bronya into Dark Bronya right away? That would be the end of everything. I can't take that risk yet."
After much deliberation, Su Moqian still decided to summon the person Bronya valued most.
After confirming the target, Su Moqian immediately said:
"I'll use the system's life as the sacrifice for a special summoning!"
"My dignity and my soul, appear before me, Seele Vollerei!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue vortex suddenly appeared above Su Moqian.
From the quantum aura spilling out of it alone, he could tell that this was an opening to the Sea of Quantum.
The next moment, a blue figure suddenly fell out of the opening.
Without a doubt, it was Seele!
"Ah!"
With a scream, the adorable Seele landed astride Su Moqian's shoulders.
To keep herself from falling, Seele instinctively wrapped both arms tightly around Su Moqian's head.
Su Moqian: "..."
Seele kept her eyes tightly shut. Only after confirming that she would not fall again did she slowly open them and look around.
"Wh-where is this?"
What entered Seele's view was an antique-style room, a scene she had never seen before.
The colors here were also strikingly vivid, completely different from the gloomy hues of the Sea of Quantum.
"Wh-where have I come?" Confusion and fear filled Seele's eyes.
She had originally been sitting in a corner of the Sea of Quantum, chatting with another version of herself.
But for some unknown reason, she had suddenly felt the space beneath her vanish, and then she had fallen here.
At that moment, a voice came from beneath her:
"Seele, I understand the situation, but could you let go of me first?"
Seele was currently sitting astride Su Moqian's shoulders while holding him tightly.
As a result, Su Moqian's face was completely buried in Seele's lower abdomen, leaving him unable to see anything.
All he could feel was the girl's softness and faint fragrance.
"Ah... sorry."
The heat of Su Moqian's breath as he inhaled brushed against Seele's lower abdomen, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
A faint blush spread across Seele's face, and she hurriedly released Su Moqian.
However, the moment she let go, her body suddenly tilted backward.
Su Moqian reacted quickly. Before Seele could scream, he caught her and pulled her into his arms.
Seeing the nervous panic in Seele's expression and voice, Su Moqian quickly said, "Seele, don't be afraid. I'm Bronya's friend. I won't hurt you!"
Seele was already in a state of mental confusion, so Su Moqian briefly and clearly explained who he was.
Sure enough, after hearing Bronya's name while nestled in Su Moqian's arms, the panic on Seele's face eased somewhat.
"Bronya's... friend?" Seele asked hesitantly.
"That's right."
Su Moqian nodded, then placed the Seele in his arms on the bed and said, "Seele, you need to behave. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to be unable to see your Sister Bronya ever again, would you?"
At this, Seele's face went pale. She hurriedly nodded, her eyes filled with panic.
"Mhm, mhm, mhm! Seele will behave!"
Seele seemed not to have considered whether Su Moqian's words were true at all.
Looking at her frightened appearance, Su Moqian realized that he had spoken rashly and made a mistake with his choice of words.
It's all this lousy system's fault. It influenced me too! Su Moqian grumbled inwardly.
Just as Su Moqian thought of the system, its notification tone rang out:
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully used the skill Wrath of the Minotaur!] [After use, within the one-hour duration, inanimate objects will automatically grant usage rights.] [If the target is a conscious existence, within the one-hour duration, the Host's success rate for verbal enticement against it will increase by thirty percent, and the success rate for coercion will increase by thirty percent.] [Reminder: The Natural Affinity talent can increase others' initial favorability toward you, so the success rate of verbal enticement will rise further.]
Chapter 60: Seele, Who Wants to Repay a Favor
After seeing the system's notification, Su Moqian could not help thinking:
This is way too improper!
At the same time, he realized that Seele's fear of him was probably the effect of the increased coercion success rate.
"No, no. How can I use coercion? I, Su Moqian, am an upright gentleman!"
"Hmm, coercion is acceptable when dealing with bad people. But when dealing with good people, verbal enticement is still better."
Thinking this, Su Moqian gently said to Seele on the bed, "Seele, you don't need to be nervous. I promise that as long as you behave, you'll be able to see your Sister Bronya very soon."
"But before that, you need to understand the current situation. If you have any questions, you can ask me first."
"Mm... okay."
Seeing Su Moqian's gentle appearance, Seele relaxed and lightly nodded.
It had to be said that Su Moqian had indeed frightened her earlier, but fortunately, he had already explained everything clearly.
He's Sister Bronya's friend, and the affinity he gives off is also very special. He probably isn't a bad person, right?
With this question in mind, Seele cautiously asked, "Where is Seele now?"
Hearing this, Su Moqian smiled and comforted her.
"Don't panic. This is the real world, not the Sea of Quantum. Seele, you're back."
Because of the previous simulation and his conversation with Bronya, Su Moqian now understood Seele's situation fairly well.
"Huh? You said this is..." Seele suddenly froze.
Although she had already sensed that this place was not the Sea of Quantum when she first arrived, she still found it difficult to believe after hearing Su Moqian confirm it himself.
After all these years... has Seele really returned to the real world?
"That's right. Your Sister Bronya is here too. You'll know once you see her later."
Knowing that he had gained Seele's initial trust, Su Moqian reached out and gently smoothed her hair.
"Really? Can Seele really see Sister Bronya?" Seele suddenly stood up and grabbed Su Moqian's hand.
Although Seele was extremely timid and wary of strangers, she could not help becoming excited after hearing this.
Five years. Five whole years!
Ever since she had parted from Bronya, Seele had not even known how she had managed to survive alone in the Sea of Quantum until now.
