People are crumbling, they're vile strangers

"These good times lasted until my 15th birthday. At the birthday party carefully prepared by Irene, my adoptive father, who was rarely seen at ordinary times, was also present, and I made a promise to him at that time that I wanted to leave Vienna. and even Europe's desire to see the outside world"

"The adoptive father agreed, and bought a lot of real estate in cities around the world, and even a lot of equity in noble academies—it sounds like an old-fashioned novel, right, but he did it."

"And as a stop on my long life journey—Long Sky City, I met you here." Snow turned his gaze to the three people beside him.

And the three people she was watching were opening their mouths

"Private maid" "Real estates in cities all over the world..." "There are also a lot of equity in noble academies!"

"You call it ordinary!?"

"Uh... what's the problem?"

"Have"

"?"

"Miss Snow, you still lack pendants on your thighs!"

"Hey, that's right! Since you have an adoptive father, Snow, why don't you have a surname?" Jiu Xiao asked the girl as if thinking of something

The three pairs of eyes once again aimed at the girl, their eyes full of curiosity

"Well... my adoptive father never told me his last name, and he told me that at the end of my trip, when we met again"

"—I'll find out myself"

"It sounds like a weird guy, and he's going to be a little talkative," Kiyana complained.

"Maybe, at least I kind of miss being with him"

Chapter 5 Bronya Zajcek

Several people continued to walk on the street, exchanging anecdotes about the past with each other. On a tall building not far away, a petite girl with silver-gray hair and a double spiral ponytail was floating there. Who was a huge humanoid robot with? behind her

"Biological reactions detected, the number is 4, and the scan of the signs of collapse begins." There was no trace of emotion in the pupils with the same silver-gray hair, and they looked coldly at the four people who were walking downstairs.

......

"The detection is completed, signs of collapse are found, it is confirmed as the recovery target A "object A", the countermeasure plan is implemented, and the recovery operation begins"

As the words fell, the giant cannon on the arm of the humanoid robot behind the girl began to shine with fiery light, and then—the roar of the heavy cannon resounded through the buildings, and a large amount of smoke rose from the streets covered by the artillery fire, blocking the The sight of the silver-haired girl

"Lose the observation target, make close contact, reload the rabbit 19C, switch to melee mode" the girl's mechanical words sounded again, the robot behind picked up the girl, and the giant cannon on the arm switched to a huge lance, from the upstairs Jumping up and down, rushing towards the smoke

The storm created by the mechs that fell from the sky cleared away the smoke that filled the streets, and a huge humanoid machine appeared in front of the three people who were waving the air in front of them and coughing continuously.

"Which wicked guy, don't let Miss Ben catch her!" Qiyana, who was the first to recover, angrily drew two guns from her waist, then looked up and saw the gray-haired girl in front of her.

"Why would such a young child be with this kind of robot..." Mei looked at the child in front of her in confusion, until she saw those cold gray eyes with no emotion at all, Leiden Mei seemed to be ruthless in her heart stabbed hard

"That... May I ask who you are, little girl... Also, did you cause the explosion just now?" Mei felt distressed as she looked at the dull pupils of the petite girl who was confronting Kiyana in front of her. asked

"I'm an embedded general-purpose girl's decisive weapon, Bronya, a suitable carrier for a heavy-duty bunny." The expressionless girl answered Raiden Mei's question, and then—

"Girl's weapon?" Leiden Mei looked a little puzzled, and when she tried to continue asking, Kiyana's cry rang in her ears

"Mei, be careful!"

Bang - the bullets from the hand cannon hit the armored bunny's shield, and at the same time blocked its intention to move forward

"Tch, brat, it was you who made the first move, so don't blame me for being rude! Everyone hide behind me, and I will deal with this big guy." Qiyana shouted at the heavy armored rabbit. Keep firing, then pounce on it and wrestle with it directly

-------------------------------------

............

"Stop your hostile behavior, Miss Bronya, or "Ural Silver Wolf"?" The gray-haired girl was concentrating on manipulating the heavy-loaded bunny 19C to deal with a strange gorilla from the Kaslana family. Suddenly, an ice blade filled with cold air reached Bronya's neck, and the blond girl quietly groped behind her with the stealth skills learned from a certain perfect maid.

"According to the calculation of the system... Bronya's winning rate...."

The piercing chill spread rapidly across Bronya's body, and finally the overflowing chill seemed to have found its target and gathered in one place, completely freezing and destroying a certain device

"Hmm!...... Bronya doesn't understand, how did you bypass the scan of the reloading bunny?" The original mechanical words were interrupted, and the girl's voice showed a little confusion, inorganic With qualitative eyes, he glanced at the heavy armored bunny in the distance who was caught by the white-haired girl with his bare hands and couldn't escape. After a short and quick thought, his brain raised his hands.

"Bronya chooses to surrender." The reloaded bunny 19C in the distance also gave up the idea of ​​wrestling with a strange gorilla from Kaslana's family at the next moment, let go of the lance, and the two mechanical arms moved in a very anthropomorphic manner. military salute

"People always have a lot of secrets, which often makes them more charming and attractive, doesn't it?" Snow did not answer Bronya's confusion, but moved the blade down to the girl's shoulder Step by step, push her towards the direction of her companion

[Very well, the external personality suppression system has been destroyed, but the control chip in Bronya's brain... Tsk, I'm not a brain doctor]

"Ouch! Why didn't you fight all of a sudden?" Kiyana, who was grabbing her lance and breaking her wrist, was thrown by the heavy armored rabbit who suddenly let go At that time, I saw Snow who was pressing his sword against Bronya's shoulder and walking towards him.

"... Well done, Kiyana, before I touched this child's back and was about to subdue her, her attention was all drawn to you." Snow pointed at Kiyana nodded in praise

"Hey, of course, how could this lady fail in person?" Baimao Tuanzi swallowed the taunt that was stuck in his throat, and accepted the compliment from his companion with a smile on his face.

"So, what's the matter with this child?" Mei looked at the gray-haired girl who became silent after being surrounded by everyone, and chose to hug her directly in her arms very boldly

"Wait for Mei, that dwarf is very dangerous!" Kiyana looked at Mei who was hugging her directly, looking a little nervous and...uh...jealous?

"Bronya... If there is no accident, she should have another name or title... Well, in the past, Irene told me some interesting stories and rumors in European society ——In Eastern Europe, especially in the more chaotic countries in Eastern Europe and Russia, where a large number of orphaned young soldiers were born due to a certain super-large disaster”

"And her appearance is very consistent with the appearance of a legendary killer in the rumors that Irene told me"

"——the silver wolf of Ural, but it is said that she disappeared after she missed a certain operation. Now it seems that she should be under some kind of control."

Snow tossed a coin-sized black device between his fingers, attracting the attention of his companions

"What is this?" Jiu Xiao asked curiously as he looked at the little black thing flying up and down

"What was removed from this child should be some kind of control device. After I removed it from this child, the mechanical sense in her tone was much less, probably some kind of suppressed personality or emotion. device?" Snow shook his head.

"Those guys! How could they treat a child like this!" Leiden Mei's sudden outburst of anger startled the three people beside her, and even the inorganic eyes of Bronya, who was being hugged by her, were shocked. looked confused

"Bronya is just a weapon, a weapon that requires no will or sympathy"

"..." Everyone fell silent after listening to the girl's speech

"Little girl, weapons really don't have will, and don't need sympathy...but weapons don't know how to understand other people's words"

"And you're doing it, it's a decision based on your own thoughts, your own will"

"I'm not a master of psychology, and I'm not good at enlightening people, so I can only tell you one thing"

"—What you do now depends on your own will, that is, Bronya Zajcek's will." The blond girl looked at the nameplate hanging on the girl's chest, and read word by word. out her full name

"My...own will?" The girl's voice was full of confusion

Then the blond girl winked at Leiden Mei, who was holding the girl, and gradually backed away—she had to go ahead to explore the way and decide where to stay tonight, after all, a city with a million people cannot be completed in a day. Going out, she still has a lot to do before night falls

-------------------------------------

"Huh? You are...Reloading Bunny?" Snow looked at the floating robot beside him, looking a little confused.

The robot in front of her didn't confuse the girl for too long, she handed over a piece of cardboard with her arms, with the word "thank you" written in some scribbled strokes on it

"...Ha, it's just a small effort, you should go back to accompany your master." The blond girl smiled dumbly, and shook her head slightly at the robot

The Reloading Bunny nodded to Snow, and quickly disappeared from her sight

The girl watched as the heavy armored bunny disappeared from her sight, and then focused her gaze on the nearby buildings again.

This is the nearest residential area to the Changkong City Bridge. Arrive here before dark as a campsite, and then evacuate to the outside world through the Changkong City Bridge tomorrow.

[The plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel] The girl snorted softly, and looked towards the direction of Shenzhou, where, in the city of Nine Dragons, in the bustling Pearl of the Orient, the Hyperion has already connected to their captain, the Infinity Tower. Jizi, the large air battleship loaded with the elite Valkyrie squad of the Far East Branch is rushing towards here with all its strength.

[There are also those big guys... Irene never told me how to deal with a big guy who is dozens of times bigger than myself] Snow looked at the distance helplessly—there were a few already The formed temple-level Honkai beasts are walking among the ruins. Their huge buildings can be seen clearly even if they are thousands of meters away. They are wandering there and have lost the Herrscher command tower, which is the core will of the group. , these Honkai Beasts only left a beast-like instinct

"Hey... Kiyana, Kiyana... don't let anything happen to you." Thinking of a certain black-haired girl who was like a time bomb in the team, Snow started to have a headache

[Forget it, the manpower is exhausted, let the destiny, and go all out to temporarily suppress the Herrscher who burst away is not impossible, but...] Snow once again looked in the direction of Shenzhou

"The so-called [Destiny] shouldn't come too late—" Taking a deep look at the distant sky, the girl jumped down from the upstairs and walked towards the direction when she came. If you don't go back and take a look at the heavyweights, Mei Lei alone can't suppress them

Before the girl got close to the temporary camp, she heard the quarrel between Qiyana and the reloaded bunny 19C—yes, the quarrel with the reloaded bunny...

"Hey! You big iron man, put down the potato chips in your hand! That's the last bag that Miss Ben found in the canteen under the ruins!" na

"Beep beep-beep-beep-beep!" This is the reloading bunny holding the other corner of the packaging bag with a robotic arm

"Wow...!" In the stalemate, the bag of potato chips finally couldn't withstand the strange force of one person and one machine and exploded in the air, thanks to the advantage that the reloaded bunny can fly , only Qiyana was once again deflated in the hands of the mecha doll, and she fell into the mud, gratifying to congratulate, Coca-Cola...

The reloading rabbit looked at the white hairy dumpling that fell upside down and the broken plastic packaging bag in his hand, tilted his head and thought for a while, then tossed the bag casually, making a very anthropomorphic fist movement

[My old lady won! 】The mecha doll floats in the air, looking at the white hairy ball that got up from the ground and kept spitting mud outside.

"Thank you for opening the potato chips for me... Well, the opening method is quite innovative?" Snow was holding a small bowl in his hand. Bags of potato chips were scattered among them. His blue eyes glanced at Kiana and the reloaded bunny, and finally settled on Bronya who was holding a Homu doll. Mei leaned against her. Beside, it seems that he is resting because he is tired from running around all morning and taking care of Bronya afterwards

[It’s really numb to win] Holding the potato chips that came for nothing, Snow thought

"It tastes alright?" The girl grabbed one of them, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed, and walked towards the gray-haired girl's place

"It seems that you are adapting to your new companion pretty well... Would you like some?" Snow handed over the bowl full of potato chips, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight arc.

"Thank... thank you...?" Bronya's voice was a little hesitant. The aftereffects after the personality suppression device was removed had not completely disappeared. She stretched out a hand clumsily, grabbed a piece of potato chips and carefully Stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it, then his eyes lit up, his hands no longer hesitated, and he kept grabbing the potato chips in the bowl

"Well... don't worry, Bronya, these are all yours, I'll deal with Jiuxiao and Qiyana's affairs first, you can protect Sister Mei here, okay?" Put the bowl full of snacks Putting it on the gray-haired girl's lap, Snow looked at the gray-haired girl hesitantly for a moment, then nodded seriously at her.

After getting the promise, Snow turned around and walked towards Qiyana who was still playing tricks and Jiu Xiao who looked helpless at the white hair dumpling

"Okay, how old are you... and I still have trouble with a little girl. I found a place to stay tonight. It is a coastal residential area closest to the Changkong City Bridge. We will spend the night there tonight without any accidents. Pass the bridge the next morning and reach the outside world tomorrow night.”

[The premise is that there are no accidents]

"Hey! It's so fast, it doesn't feel like it's been too long...but then everyone will be separated..." Kiyana looked a little excited when she learned that she would be leaving here soon , but before her excitement passed, she thought of something and became lost

"Don't think too far, Kiyana, I have another bad news to tell you." Snow's face became gloomy

"Uh, what news"

"I saw some large white and purple creatures that can stand shoulder to shoulder with buildings. They should be one of the Houkai beasts you mentioned."

"The building-sized Honkai Beast...it should be the temple-level Honkai Beast mentioned by the stinky dad. If you are unlucky, it might be a Honkai Emperor—as the flowing Caslan Warrior of the blood of the Na family, my intuition tells me that you seem to have some weird backhands, but when you see those monsters, please don't take the initiative to attack them. It is also very difficult for my stinky dad to personally deal with it.”

"When you encounter them alone, it is the wisest choice to hide or run away," Kiyana warned her companion with a serious expression.

"Wow, so you still have such a serious side..."

"Hey, you bastard, Miss Ben really cares about you!"

"Understood, I'm not the kind of hot-blooded guy, I'll avoid them when I see them, why don't you care more about yourself"

"It's good to know, in short, don't provoke them! As for this lady, you don't have to worry about it, I'm a warrior of Kaslana's family!"

[It is precisely because of this that I worry about you....] The girl shook her head helplessly
