Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 697 The mysterious opponent

After Han Jiang rode Bella to Tianqiong City, he didn't find anything unusual. There were many pedestrians on the road and there was no sign of disaster.

Immediately after contacting Shenzhou's assistant working under Cheng Lixue, the assistant told Han Jiang that Cheng Lixue had gone to Taixu Mountain.

"Taixu Mountain? Why go to that kind of place?"

Without thinking too much, Han Jiang asked Bei Beilong to go to Taixu Mountain.

In the battle with the Herrscher of Knowledge, Taixu Mountain has been torn apart without the seal of thousands of keys of control.

The ordinary people living here have all evacuated to the nearest city, and they don't know what Cheng Lixue is doing in such a place.

After Han Jiang arrived at Taixu Mountain, he received news from Cheng Lixue.

"Hey, where are you, what happened?" Han Jiang asked anxiously into the communicator.

"Zizi...Zi...I...it's fine, I'm...here."

The call signal was very unstable, and Han Jiang didn't know that she was in the mountain where she was beaten until she received the location from Cheng Lixue.

When they found Cheng Lixue, Cheng Lixue was covered in injuries, the battle armor on his body was battered, and his face was bruised and swollen.

"What's the matter, how did you become like this?" Han Jiang jumped off Bella, and walked to Cheng Lixue's side in three steps at a time.

Cheng Lixue is an S-rank Valkyrie at any rate, and she won't be hurt like this again.

Han Jiang asked, "Who did it?"

"Cough." Cheng Lixue shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's someone I don't know."

"Someone I don't know?" Han Jiang asked, "Could it be the embers, the snakes of the world, or the destiny?"

"It's not them." Cheng Lixue said: "In short, they are very strong. I am not an opponent, and I don't have too much information."

Looking at the ruins, Han Jiang asked Cheng Lixue, "Then what are you doing here? This place is already in ruins."

Cheng Lixue said: "The situation at that time, if fighting in the city, it would hurt innocent people."

"Your wounds, are you okay?"

Cheng Lixue smiled bitterly: "It's a good thing you came here, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me."

"When I face her, it feels very similar to facing my master, unfathomable."

This is Cheng Lixue's intuitive evaluation of the enemy.

"Anyway, go back first and find a place to treat you. Where did this person come from!" Han Jiang kept complaining.

Cheng Lixue frowned and thought for a long time, then said softly: "I suspect that she is the Herrscher."

"A Herrscher?" Han Jiang's reaction grew louder, "What kind of Herrscher is it, what are its characteristics, and what are its powers?"

"What are you anxious about? I'm just skeptical."

"Okay..." Han Jiang covered his face with his hands, and said apologetically, "Let's get treated first. I'll inform Fu Hua and ask when her mission will end. I'll know when she comes over."

At the same time, Han Jiang told Dr. Einstein about Cheng Lixue's suspicion.

Tesla hurriedly began to investigate the locations of large-scale collapses in the past three months, looking for the place where Herrscher might be born.

The Herrschers appear in a different order in this era than in the previous era, and previous experience is of no use in this era.

Now that anti-entropy wants to get accurate information about the last era, it can only rely on Fu Hua, a living fossil.

At Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Tesla is about to explode.

"Why is the Herrscher appearing again? It's not easy for people to live!"

Walter stood behind and didn't dare to speak, the appearance of Herrscher was almost frequent.

Einstein calmly analyzed: "According to Ms. Cheng Lixue's report, there will be energy interference when fighting the opponent, and all the electromagnetic equipment can't record the opponent's figure."

"The most important thing is this." Einstein pointed to the screen and said, "Look."

On the screen, Cheng Lixue was patrolling the base with his Valkyries, and then the screen went black, except for Cheng Lixue, the other Valkyries fell to the ground.

"After confirmation, these people are all dead. To be precise, they were dead before Cheng Lixue and the other party did anything."

"I'll go!" Tesla said in amazement: "How is it possible to die after just looking at it?"

On the screen, Cheng Lixue, including the other Valkyries, just looked at the missing screen, and then the others fell down.

After medical tests, the fallen Valkyries were all brain-dead.

"Is this in line with the power of the Herrscher?" Walter asked, "Is it eroding the Herrscher?"

"The Corrosion Herrscher of the last era is an ultimate virus with self-awareness, which can invade computer systems and human brains. If you think about it this way...it is also possible, but it is unlikely."

"According to our observations, the most destructive Herrscher, the Second Herrscher, the first thing after awakening is to kill everyone around him."

"The Herrscher with the most restraint ability is the one who dominates the Herrscher, but he is also developing in secret, keeping a low profile."

"The situation reported by Cheng Lixue is somewhat similar to the Herrscher of Knowledge. The first thing she did when she woke up was to beat up Bronya."

"..."

"Look again." Einstein continued pointing at the screen and said, "This is the venue after Cheng Lixue fought with the opponent."

Looking at the place shown on the screen, Walter said in surprise: "There is such a great destructive power, is the whole mountain torn apart?"

Einstein shook his head, then zoomed in on several spots on the image.

"The destruction of the mountains was caused by the battle between Han Jiang, the Herrscher of Knowledge and Qiyana, not Cheng Lixue and her opponent."

"The places with red circles on the image are the traces of the battle between the two."

Walter looked at the area marked with a red circle on the picture, and said in disbelief: "This is too..."

"Is it too exaggerated?" Walter's exaggeration is not on a large scale, but that the damage caused by the two to the environment is too small.

The already collapsed boulders in the mountains were cracked, and many fresh big pits appeared on the ground, and many weeds that had just grown up were pulled up by their roots.

"It shouldn't be." Walter analyzed: "Judging from the traces above, the damage caused to the outside world by the two of them due to battle can be achieved by an A-level Valkyrie, and even some stronger B-level Valkyries can do it." arrive."

This is what puzzled Einstein.

It was clear that several Valkyries were brain-dead after seeing them for the first time, but the traces left after the battle with Cheng Lixue were unexpectedly small.

No matter how bad Cheng Lixue was, she was still an S-rank Valkyrie. Under a full attack, not to mention an entire mountain range, a mountain could at least be sliced ​​in half.

The information Han Jiang reported back was that Cheng Lixue was seriously injured and his armor was destroyed.

If Han Jiang hadn't arrived in time, Cheng Lixue might have been murdered.

……

"I'm not as miserable as you said." Cheng Lixue said to Han Jiang speechlessly, leaning on the sofa.

Sitting opposite, Han Jiang raised his legs and said, "Didn't you say that if I didn't arrive in time, I wouldn't be able to see you?"

"..."

This was indeed said by Cheng Lixue herself, but it made her very uncomfortable to have to admit it again now.

"That guy is very weird." Cheng Lixue said: "It can block the surveillance, and even killed my teammates silently."

"The most important thing is..." Cheng Lixue frowned and said: "The most important thing is, in front of her, my strength seems to have weakened."

"Weakened?" Han Jiang asked, "What exactly do you feel like?"

Cheng Lixue shook her head and said, "I can't describe it. I can only know by fighting her personally."

"You are under control, right?" Han Jiang stared at Cheng Lixue's face.

Cheng Lixue waved her hand to tell Han Jiang to look away, "Impossible, even if there is a documented Erosion Herrscher in front of me, he won't easily control me."

"If it is Corrosion Herrscher who appeared this time, what about the death of my teammate?"

"This..." Han Jiang couldn't figure out who he was.

Up to now, I haven't figured out whether the other party is a human or a Herrscher. If it is a human, if it is not even, it is a master with great strength hidden.

But hidden masters shouldn't attack Shenzhou. If they want to attack or something, isn't anti-entropy more valuable?
"Could it be for us to show off?"

The cooperation between Shenzhou and Anti-Entropy Extreme East is already a group of Anti-Entropy in the eyes of other forces.

In Shenzhou, only Cheng Lixue thought that the S-rank Valkyrie was in charge, and provocation here was also the first choice.

But after the provocation, the other party didn't leave a name, which is strange.

"Forget it, don't think about it, leave these questions to the doctors and the others, and I will be in charge of the battle. My brain hurts thinking about it."

Cheng Lixue sighed, and said: "You don't know how powerful that person is, if you meet him, I think even if it's a master..."

"What's wrong with me?" Fu Hua came in from the door at this time.

Cheng Lixue stood up quickly, and called out respectfully: "Master."

Fu Hua waved his hand and said, "It doesn't have to be like this."

"I came here as soon as I finished the task at hand, Lixue, what happened on your side?"

Of course, Cheng Lixue was not as casual in front of Fu Hua as she was in front of Han Jiang, and seriously re-described the cause.

Just this morning, when Cheng Lixue was inspecting the base as usual, she found someone broke into the base. When she went there with her Valkyrie, she saw a strange girl.

The girl looked young, in her twenties at most, but she spoke wild words.

Then he had to make gestures with Cheng Lixue, of course Cheng Lixue would not agree to such boring gestures.

I don't know how the girl bypassed the guards and came in through the gate.

The result was the scene that Einstein and the others saw, and all the Valkyries who approached were instantly brain-dead.

Not only the Valkyrie, but even the ordinary staff of the base were not spared.

As a last resort, Cheng Lixue agreed to make gestures with the girl, but she wanted to go to a place where no one was around.

After several Herrscher-level experts contested Taixu Mountain, it could not be destroyed any more. The most suitable place is of course there.

But after the fight, Cheng Lixue found that his strength had dropped a lot.

It wasn't because the opponent was too strong, but because his own strength in all aspects had been reduced to the level of an A-rank Valkyrie.

And when he was fighting with that girl, Cheng Lixue's messages couldn't be sent out all the time. Only when he repelled the girl, or when Cheng Lixue broke out, could he send out some messages intermittently.

"It can't be the Erode Herrscher?" Fu Hua's first reaction was the same.

Herrscher can erode everything in the world, not only computer systems, but also human thoughts can be eroded and controlled.

There are intersections with the ability to dominate the Herrscher and the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, but they are not the same.

"No." Cheng Lixue said: "The Herrschers who have appeared so far have the ultimate goal of destroying them, but this girl..."

"I feel more like she's looking for a challenger."

Fu Hua repeated in a low voice: "Looking for an opponent? It's very similar to Xiaoshi's purpose."

After the Herrscher of Knowledge awakened, she also looked for opponents all over the world, but she wanted to show off her strength, and she looked for Otto for revenge.

As for showing off and destroying the weapons against Honkai at the same time, this is the bewitching of Honkai consciousness, and there is no way to avoid it.

"Yes, I can feel the other party's thoughts. She just wants to keep looking for her opponent."

"When I lost, she said she felt bored, so she wanted to..."

"At that time Han Jiang came."

Fu Hua began to ponder from the information given by Cheng Lixue, "Could it be Wu Chi? This is unlikely, Wu Chi is for training himself, and will not kill the enemy after the defeat."

"There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and capable people know the pros and cons of Honkai. Joining a large organization is the only choice. If you are a lone traveler...the possibility is not ruled out."

"But we have to treat each other as a brand new Herrscher, and almost killed Lixue, this enmity... cannot be forgiven."

At this moment, Han Jiang felt the aura erupting from Fu Hua's body, and it really felt like smashing the human and heavenly spirit cover into pieces.

"In short, Han Jiang and I will not leave during this period, and we will not take any action until we find out the other party's whereabouts."

"Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, who are anti-entropy, are already helping to analyze. No matter whether the opponent is a Herrscher or a human, or the hidden combat power in other organizations, I will come to ask for an explanation!"

"Okay!" Han Jiang said, "We can't just be bullied like this."

Cheng Lixue said worriedly: "I feel that that person's combat style is somewhat similar to that of his master's, focusing on close combat. Will others mistake him for..."

"Impossible, the Herrscher of Knowledge is by my side, and the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge is to disturb thoughts and change..."

Fu Hua stopped as he spoke, killing many people at a glance can also be done by the Herrscher of Consciousness!

She can forcibly stop the brain waves of ordinary people...and let the other person die directly.

The acting style of the Herrscher of Knowledge is mainly influenced by Fu Hua himself, otherwise he would not be reckless, so easily subdued by Han Jiang and Qiyana, and successfully drove her consciousness out of the body.

"There is no more news at the moment." Han Jiang said: "The doctor and the others should be able to research it soon, and the other party approached Cheng Lixue with the reason of challenge."

"Now that Lixue is defeated, her next target is... the embers, right?"

Destiny has been attacked by the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Herrscher of Flame successively, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the title of the number one Valkyrie of Ulandale is not just talk.

The World Snake has Kevin in charge, so the most likely one is the Ember Organization established by the former Ministry of Fire Chasing Moth.
