"Bronya is just carrying out a mission." Bronya said coldly, without any emotion, as if the anger on the other side, or even the person on the other side, did not exist.

This incredibly distant and indifferent attitude made Cocolia's angry face choke. After taking a few deep breaths, she changed her tone and spoke in a motherly manner.

"Bronya, stop being reckless. The plan to conquer the gems is of utmost importance and cannot afford any mistakes. We must eliminate all unstable factors!"

"I am also in pain because of the failure of the X-10 experiment, but only by obtaining the power to conquer the gem can we make up for all of this and turn things around. Don't you want to save Seele?"

"The loss of some lives is inevitable! The awakening of the Herrscher will inevitably cause huge casualties. We have just placed these casualties in a fixed disaster location! But as long as we complete this plan, we can save Seele, and everything will change."

Cocolia's tone gradually softened, as if she had returned to the way she was in the orphanage after her madness.

“Bronya, I promise you, we can go back to how things were before. We can live happily together again, just like we did in the orphanage, and it will only be better than that.”

"For Seele, and for us."

"Bronya, only for Seele."

Bronya said calmly.

"you!……"

Before the other person could say anything more, she had already taken the initiative to mute them on the virtual screen.

After doing all this, Bronya lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Bronya will carry out the mission."

Then, without waiting for a response from the other party, the communication was ended abruptly.

Bronya put down the communicator and lowered her head, pursing her lips.

Everything can never go back to the way it was before, and neither can she herself.

She knew she wouldn't be forgiven, but she would do anything as long as there was hope of rescuing Seele.

Seele, no matter what, no matter what burdens you bear, Bronya will bring you back!

"What! How could this happen!"

The next day, Bronya showed the message she received to Raiden Mei and Kiana. It was a kidnapping notice, instructing Bronya to go alone to a factory in the suburbs.

There was also a fabricated video of his own mother, Cocolia, being tortured and screaming in agony.

Cocolia: Are you being polite?

Raiden Mei covered her mouth, incredulous.

Kiana, however, was filled with righteous indignation: "These robbers are so brazen!"

She immediately patted her chest, making a confident guarantee.

"Don't worry, Bronya, I'm here. I'll definitely help you rescue your mother! And I'll teach those bad guys a lesson!"

“I want to help too,” Mei said firmly. She couldn’t just stand by and watch Bronya take the risk.

Seeing their expressions and their unwavering willingness to help, Bronya lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"Hmm? What's wrong with you today? You're acting so strangely."

Seeing her like this, Kiana was somewhat surprised that she didn't retort with her usual sharp tongue or remain as cold and calm as she usually was.

She thought the other person would say something like, "Kiana, are you just a reckless idiot? There should be a well-thought-out plan for this situation," looking down on her.

Then, as if remembering something, Kiana couldn't help but smile teasingly.

"Is he scared?"

She assumed Bronya was scared because of the kidnapping, so she patted her on the shoulder and comforted her with a smile.

"Hmph~ Don't worry, unlike games, true strength comes from within. Compared to your frail and weak physique, I am much stronger! This time, I'll show you the difference!"

She's always been competing with her, but now she finally has a chance to completely surpass her and show her strength. She's determined to rescue Bronya's mother safely, make this sharp-tongued little brat look at her with new eyes, and thank her in ten different ways.

Chapter 26 Sorry, Bronya, you're a bad person.

"Kiana," Raiden Mei said reproachfully.

You have to understand that Bronya has a leg disability and difficulty moving around. Saying things like that is just hitting her sore spot.

Kiana realized that what she said was inappropriate, so she coughed and patted her chest to assure them.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you all!"

"Bronya, don't worry, we'll go with you and we'll make sure those bad guys don't hurt your mother."

Mei also comforted Bronya in a gentle voice.

Compared to Kiana, who has a strong physique and is used to dealing with wandering and danger, she, who lives an ordinary life, can better understand the panic in such situations and naturally feels more sorry for her.

Bronya must be terrified.

Unable to look up at the two men, Bronya remained silent for a long time before finally responding.

subsequent time.

Kiana picked up her two pistols and put her beloved baseball bat into her backpack.

Raiden Mei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately picked up a katana.

He took the knife from the rack, and with a clang, the blade was drawn from its sheath.

The moment Raiden Mei got her hands on the katana, her aura instantly became sharp and fierce.

Despite her seemingly dignified and delicate appearance, this young lady actually possesses a high level of swordsmanship, representing the highest level of swordsmanship in the Far East.

"Uh..." Looking at Mei's sharp side, Kiana felt a chill for no reason, and her lower abdomen ached slightly.

After everything was prepared, the group headed to the factory in the suburbs.

As for what Qi Shi is doing at this moment?

He's actually fine; he just came out of Bronya's body.

During this incredibly ample time, he not only made arrangements with Cocolia, but also stopped by New Ellie for tea, possessed the Heavy Bunny, unleashed a series of attacks in the Quantum Sea, and incidentally repaired Cocolia's appendicitis.

In fact, I had already entered Bronya's body a few days ago, gaining a lot of hacking knowledge and professional assassin skills, from being proficient in sniper rifles to having twenty-eight ways to use stockings.

I also browsed the anti-entropy radicals' forum and gained some useful knowledge.

At the same time, Qi Shi noticed Bronya's change in mindset and nodded with satisfaction.

For Bronya, who is now emotionally detached, the fact that she can feel emotional fluctuations is already a very important emotion.

It was worth it for him to set aside extra time.

Inside the empty, dimly lit abandoned factory, three girls moved forward. The long-abandoned factory buildings exuded a musty and rusty smell.

Kiana and Mei walked side by side ahead, cautiously, while Bronya, in a wheelchair, followed behind.

Compared to the two people in front of her, who were seriously searching for the kidnappers, Bronya's gaze behind her had already changed.

There were no kidnappers at all; it was a trap that lured the two people there.

The heavily armored bunny appeared silently behind her, its leg armor generating magnetic force, detaching Bronya from the wheelchair and allowing her to float in the air.

Without the two people in front noticing, the Heavy Bunny raised its cannon and aimed it at Kiana.

But they did not fire for a long time.

Other emotions flickered in Bronya's usually calm gaze as she carried out her mission.

Scenes from our time together flashed through my mind, and my lips unconsciously pursed.

Her body was emotionally damaged, and she didn't know why she was so resistant to carrying out her mission.

Perhaps it was Mei's gentle concern and Kiana's foolish smugness; perhaps it was because she knew she was destroying other people's happy homes to save her own. Perhaps it was because they were different from Bronya, who had already fallen into darkness—truly kind and gentle people.

But in the end, all the chaotic thoughts were replaced by that pure and flawless blue-purple figure deep in his heart, suppressing the surging emotions.

For Seele's sake, Bronya, this must be done.

Sorry, Bronya, you're a bad person.

Reloaded Bunny, Fire!

Bronya bit her lip hard, and the Heavy Bunny suddenly fired the shell, but in the instant before launch, the magazine couldn't control the clicking sound inside.

"Be careful," Qi Shi's warning came from within.

Upon hearing this, Kiana instinctively became alert, but she overlooked the attack coming from behind.

With a deafening roar, a powerful impact struck from behind, sending Kiana flying like a puppet with its strings cut.

In mid-air, a lead-filled capture net completely enveloped her.

While in the air, Kiana tried to adjust her posture to break free, but the next moment, arcs of electricity suddenly lit up on the capture net, and countless currents drilled into her body, bringing intense pain and making her muscles weak and sore.

Kiana cried out in pain as she was thrown through the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

The sudden turn of events caught Raiden Mei off guard. She immediately turned around and saw the attacking enemy.

Looking at Bronya, who was floating in the air, her temperament had completely changed, her gaze was indifferent, and a huge mecha was attached to her back.

"Bronya, why...why?"

He made incomprehensible sounds.

"Because this was a trap set specifically for you, Raiden Mei, the host of the conquering gems." Bronya spoke coldly, her voice devoid of any inflection.

“There was no loss or kidnapping. Bronya is Anti-Entropy’s executioner, sent to eliminate the unstable factors in the Conquer the Gem experiment.”

"How could this be?" Bronya's heavily injured, icy words made Raiden Mei's voice tremble with disbelief.

Each noun represents the cold reality of treating her as an experimental subject.

They were getting along so well before, was it all just a facade?

The sudden and drastic change pierced her heart, as if her heart had been clenched tightly.

In the distance, Kiana was trapped in the electric grid. The current made her tremble all over, and she kept making painful noises. Her weak and powerless body was unable to break free.

Suddenly, a warm power surged forth, spreading from my heart throughout my body, and even the pain from the electric current lessened considerably.

"Qi Shi." Kiana murmured, feeling a sense of security as if their souls were intertwined.

"Are you feeling better?" Qi Shi's reassuring voice came from the room.
