Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 474 Unfathomable
"After Joachim came to the orphanage, he acted like a big brother." Teresa shook her head and denied Qian's words, "He is just a big brother, taking care of other children, and rushing to the end of everything. Front."

"During that time... I thought he had forgotten the past."

Bronya and Seele's little hands were held together, and the two of them also had that period of time.

"and then?"

Teresa continued: "Joachim is very smart and is very good at fiddling with some tools. He can do the best for the things that are given to him."

"One day, the priest called him into his room and told him that he was smart and responsible, and that the priest wanted Joachim to be his heir."

"However, from that day on, although Joachim worked very hard and took good care of the young children, his mood became gloomy."

Xier said: "Maybe, he just doesn't want to take over the orphanage, he has a life he yearns for."

"No." Teresa directly denied Seele's words, "Joachim is not that kind of person. If he has a life he yearns for, or if he doesn't want to take over the position of priest, he will directly say so."

"He...was just scared."

"Afraid of what?" Xier didn't understand what was the source of Joachim's fear.

Teresa said slowly: "He is afraid that after he becomes a priest, one day he will stand in the same position as the priest and face the same choices as him."

"I'm afraid that I will inflict the pain I once had on another child. After all, it is a shadow that he can't forget."

"Not long after that, Mrs. Liesel from the neighboring town proposed to adopt Joachim."

Seele asked, "Did Joachim agree?"

Teresa nodded.

After hearing so many things about Joachim, Bronya judged: "He is escaping."

Teresa agreed with Bronya's words, saying: "Perhaps leaving here, a new life will allow him to start again. As a former friend, I also wish Joachim a new life."

Bronya shook her head, "If this is the case, he will never be able to untie his knot."

"No." Teresa looked at Bronya and said, "Many times, we can easily understand other people's thoughts, and we will take the initiative to think about things for others, and it feels very easy to accept."

"But we must not make decisions for others without experiencing the suffering of others. It is not something we have personally experienced. We are not qualified to say anything about others."

Bronya understood Teresa's reasoning, and did not immediately agree or refute it.

"No matter what we say, it's up to Joachim to choose in the end." Teresa stood up and looked out the window, "I just don't want to see Joachim looking gloomy, he wasn't like this before."

"I want to help him because he is our family after all."

Xier felt that Bronya was holding her hand a little harder, and Xier's heart warmed up, and sister Bronya was also thinking about how to help herself.

It was getting dark, and Teresa turned on the lights in the room.

"Speaking of which, it's getting so late, the priest should have been back long ago." Teresa said worriedly, "I'd better go out and have a look."

Xier and Bronya said at the same time: "The road is not easy to walk at night, let's go together."

The three of them walked out of the cabin, on their way back to the priest.

……

In the last era, when the First Herrscher appeared, various organizations that have researched on Honkai had already speculated that there might be a disaster similar to the spokesperson of Honkai like Herrscher.

All organizations started to take precautions in advance, making full preparations for the appearance of the Herrscher.

Even so, when the First Herrscher really arrived, he was still in a panic.

The area where the First Herrscher first appeared was not very far from the extreme east. In just three days, that area had fallen and became a paradise for the Houkai Beast and the dead.

"Hurry up and collect the data. We have observed that the next target of the First Herrscher is very likely to be the excited area." In the research institute in the Far East, the top officials and celebrities began to collect the data.

Now the people in the entire research institute are moving. After the initial panic, various human organizations put aside their previous suspicions and began to unite.

At present, outside the Far East Research Institute, there are already several troops waiting for the arrival of the First Herrscher, planning to completely attack the First Herrscher in the Far East.

"I can't leave. This is an excellent opportunity to get in touch with the Herrscher. Only by seeing the Herrscher with my own eyes can I collect more detailed information and find out how to deal with the Herrscher."

In the institute, MEI told Kevin, who persuaded him to leave, the reason for his refusal.

"But you are just a high school student, so what a genius a high school student is!" Kevin said anxiously: "Someone will collect the information you want, and then we will find out how to deal with the First Herrscher." Isn't it all right?"

It's not that Kevin feels that MEI is useless to stay here, but that he is really worried about MEI's safety.

After all, the First Herrscher is the enemy at the stage when human beings first come into contact with Herrschers, and they have only dealt with the Judgment-level Honkai Beast before.

However, the Judgment-level Honkai Beasts are all extremely large, and the experience of dealing with them cannot be used on the Herrscher.

"Listen to me, Uncle Mike will take us to a safe place. After defeating the First Herrscher, I will let my family contact all aspects of the relationship, so that you have the opportunity to study the First Herrscher up close. "

Mei adjusted his glasses and asked, "Do you not believe the usefulness of my staying here?"

Han Jiang is getting a little dizzy. Did such a scene really happen in the last era?

Then Kevin was able to catch up with MEI, and the two became life-and-death lovers, there must have been a lot of twists and turns.

"That..." Han Jiang interjected, "Kevin is worried about your safety. You are a well-known genius among the younger generation of researchers in the Far East and even the whole world."

"We don't have all the information about the First Herrscher yet. If you are lost here rashly, it's not just your personal problem. The whole world will suffer an irreparable loss."

What Han Jiang said is very clear, that is, you are more important than everyone else.

Mei glanced at Han Jiang twice, then looked at Kevin, and asked, "Is that so, are you... worried about me?"

Han Jiang was speechless for a while, didn't he say that MEI is a one-in-a-kind genius, did he not understand that Kevin likes her?
Hearing Han Jiang's words, Kevin was taken aback for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief, and finally grabbed MEI's hands and nodded vigorously, "Come with me, go to a safe place first, and then..."

Mei's pretty face blushed slightly, but she still shook her head firmly, and pulled her hand out of Kevin's big hand, "I can't leave, there will be delays in data transmission, and it will only cause more harm to human beings. It hurts a lot, so I can't leave even more."

"Alright then." Kevin shrugged his shoulders, "Then I'll stay here with you."

"you……"

Kevin said again: "I believe you can find a way to defeat the First Herrscher, so we will be fine."

MEI nodded, and turned to go to the research room, where she stored various research materials on Honkai, as well as guessed the strength of the Herrscher.

The battle reports ahead are constantly being transmitted, and MEI needs to proofread all the data, find out the weakness of the First Herrscher, and then defeat it!

"Aren't you leaving?" Han Jiang asked.

Kevin looked at MEI's back and said, "She won't leave, why should I leave, I can still protect MEI here."

Speaking of which, Kevin rolled up his sleeves and showed Han Jiang his muscles, "I usually only know how to play when you are watched. Now you fight with me, I will definitely put you down quickly, believe it or not?"

"I learned a lot of martial arts when I was a child. Even Uncle Mike may not be my opponent."

Han Jiang turned his head and looked behind him. The big bald head came over and looked at the two of them. Han Jiang raised his head and asked, "Really?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mike's face, "Stinky boy, you've only been away from home for a few years, and you've learned to speak big now?"

Kevin heard Mike's voice and quickly turned around to apologize, scratching his head and giggling.

Mike laughed, put his hands on Kevin's shoulders and said, "Since you don't leave, I can't take you away by force with my strength, so I will stay and protect you."

This is a disguised admission that his strength is not as good as Kevin's.

Everyone who knows about Honkai III is saying that MEI is an invincible genius, with a ceiling of intelligence, who single-handedly killed all the Herrschers of the last era, but the development time was too short so he fell into the hands of the Herrscher of the Last Era.

But on the other hand, Kevin is also a genius who is one in a million. The high school students are already stronger than the captain of the combat team who wiped out the Houkai Beast. After that, he will be better.

Since they decided to stay and wait for the arrival of the First Herrscher, Han Jiang and Kevin could not be used in the laboratory, so they were sent to the War Department to prepare fortifications.

The two had just walked to the door when the door of the institute opened and a boy of the same age walked in.

"SU?" Kevin called out the other person's name, "Why did you come here, shouldn't ordinary people be evacuated now?"

SU looked at Kevin calmly, and glanced at their faces, "You can wait here to defend the first Herrscher, why can't I?"

This one named SU is also Kevin's classmate.

Since I transferred to another school, I would eat, drink and have fun together, play basketball together, discuss how beautiful the girl in the class is, and talk about how far I have passed the game I just bought.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting?" Kevin said, and he was about to punch SU in the chest, to test the strength of this familiar and unfamiliar classmate.

SU deftly avoided Kevin's attack, "My fighting style is slightly different from yours."

Kevin didn't chase after him and continued to fight. He pinched his chin and started to mutter: "Isn't it true that the class I transferred from is a member of the Honkai Research Institute? Or is it like MEI, who became the second student of a mainland research institute at a young age?" Handle, or is it Han Jiang and fighters like you?"

SU quickly shook his hand, "It's all a coincidence. Despite the large number of people in our school, the only people who really come into contact with Honkai are the three of us...the four of us."

"Oh, that would explain it too."

In this era, because there is no division of countries, there is only one unified force, so the secrecy of the collapse is very good.

Just imagine, when an ordinary person sees news, Internet news, or things talked about by people around them, they are all things that the upper echelons of this force want you to see.

Then ordinary people will live in their own information cocoons all their lives, unable to understand the outside world, and unable to understand the truth of the world.

For example, for the outbreak of the First Herrscher this time, the high-level executives already had a plan, declaring to the outside world that it was a huge explosion caused by a nuclear leak.

As for the Houkai beast, it is just the final appearance of certain animals that were disturbed by radiation.

Even if ordinary people take pictures, they will be ordered to delete them, and it is even more impossible to post them on the Internet.

The three of Han Jiang went to the combat department, chatting about SU's fighting style while walking.

Since the appearance of Houkai, the world has also become strange.

SU's way of fighting is actually related to mental strength.

He can accurately perceive the spirit of himself and his opponent, and find the opponent's weakness accurately and quickly.

Although Han Jiang's data horizon sees accurate data, in general, it is not much different from SU's ability.

But seeing the enemy's weakness does not mean that you can hit that weakness.

When Han Jiang and Youlandelle face each other, they can also find some weak links in each other's body, but when they really fight, it is difficult to get close, and whether they can attack Youlandelle's weakness is even more difficult. It was even harder.

The War Department was built on the edge of the beach north of the Institute.

The civilians who lived here were the first to be evacuated from the Far East, and torrents of steel lined the formerly playful beaches.

Thousands of tanks are parked on the road near the beach.

Many buildings by the sea have also been transformed into battle fortresses, and the soldiers inside are already ready for battle.

There are armed helicopters in the distance, and fighter jets are waiting for the arrival of the First Herrscher.

In the deep sea, several aircraft carriers are floating on it. As long as the general command gives an order, they can provide support to the Far East region in the fastest time.

There is also an underground base that cannot be seen, and a combat ship that can fly is parked.

It has not been a few years since the development and manufacture of airships, and there are no conflicts in the world that are so big that they need to be reconciled by fighting, so this time will be the first appearance of combat airships.

"You two said, does Herrscher have tentacles and slime, a very ugly monster?" Kevin asked boredly.

SU shook his head, "The battle report from the front mentioned the size of the First Herrscher, and it is said that it resembles a human being."

Kevin looked at SU, as if imagining what it would be like to have tentacles all over his body.

"Isn't that the evil god of the old age in mythology, as long as you sell your soul, you can get great power from him..."

Han Jiang thought about it seriously, and said, "If you sell your soul to the Herrscher, it really seems like you can get huge power."

SU and Kevin looked at Han Jiang, and Kevin asked disdainfully, "You haven't seen it before, how do you know?"

Han Jiang said: "Guess, let's not talk about anything else, anyway, there must be a lot of benefits in defeating the Herrscher."

"Emperor-level Honkai Beast can research many things even if it is killed, and the Honkai Beast's core can be used, let alone Herrscher."

SU looked at Han Jiang silently. Kevin, an optimist, would not think so much. He thought about a lot.

As a reserve member of the combat team, SU knows a lot of inside information. Those who can accurately tell the level of the Houkai Beast are not as simple as the surface. This Han Jiang... is unfathomable.
