Chapter 514 Kevin, Are You Going to Stop Me Too?

"I'm sorry, there's only one thing you have to do - leave the girl behind, then put your hands up and go back the way you came."

The remote command mecha showed no confusion or hesitation about Sakura's request, and it was not difficult to get a glimpse of Mei's attitude.

According to that woman's habit of showing her attitude inadvertently, is this a hint that she will be arrested immediately?

Sakura didn't know, but she knew that Mei could definitely predict her choice.

"I refuse."

Sakura held the scabbard's mouth with her left hand, pushed out a small section of the blade with her thumb, and pulled the sword out with her right hand.

The white sword light divided the space, but the only response to it was the sound of swishing air.

The tip of the knife pointed diagonally towards the ground. Even at this point, Sakura did not choose to take action directly, but asked again:

"I need to talk to May."

The sound is smooth and lacks fluctuations, but as soon as you hear it, you can tell that there is no room for change.

"I repeat, CM-004, you have no other choice."

The operator behind the command mecha is not afraid. The dialogue between the two parties is inherently unequal. If Sakura is blocked here, then as time goes by, the hope of taking Ling away will become even slimmer.

But for the warrior behind the command mecha, even if the mecha is destroyed by Sakura, he will not be affected. You may feel dizzy for a few days because of the nerve connections, but the problem is not serious. So facing Sakura, he can be confident. Anyway, he was not the one who was in a hurry, and he was just strictly following the order.

"Okay. Since Mei doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do."

Sakura sheathed the sword, but did not let go of the handle with her right hand. The tiger's mouth of her left hand also held the sheath tightly, and her body was slightly lowered.

"This action is..."

Bronya standing behind her widened her eyes. Having practiced with Mei Yi many times, she would definitely be unfamiliar with this action. Isn't this a disagreement? It seems that the relationship between Sakura and Dr. Mei is not as good as expected, right? Or maybe she guessed something wrong from the beginning...

Just as I was thinking about this, a "suddenly" sound rang in my ears. The ice-colored long knife drew an arc, leaving traces that were almost like moonlight in the space. The entire world that could be seen before seemed to be also... The moment was frozen for several seconds.

No, not frozen, Bronya is sure, certain, and certain.

In "a few seconds", Bronya could clearly feel her heartbeat, feel the secretion of saliva under her tongue, and feel the stinging pain in her eyes from the light of the knife...

Time was not frozen, it was just that the knife appeared so fast that people's sense of time became dull.

It's like once the instrument is tuned wrong at the beginning, then the subsequent tones will be completely messed up.

"嗞---"

Golden sparks erupted from the armor of the thirteen mechas at the same time, and then using a slanted black line in the space as the absolute benchmark, the parts of all the mechas above the black line slid down according to the angle of the black line. It hit the ground hard, making a loud noise that made the entire base cabin tremble.

"Solved."

Sakura habitually puts her hands into the carrying equipment around her waist. No matter who she kills, leaving a forget-me-not is both a sign of identity and a habit.

However, her fingers didn't touch anything. Then she remembered that she was in a hurry to get back to the base and basically brought nothing with her except a handful of Hell Ice Sky. But since the opponent is a mecha, there is no need to abide by such rules.

"Let's go to the archives quickly. A conflict has already occurred. My original identity as Fire Chaser is no longer valid. I must find the location of Ling and your sister in the shortest possible time."

Sakura turned her head, but Bronya couldn't tell whether she was talking to Bronya or just confirming the target by talking to herself.

All Bronya could do was nod and follow her lead.

In the last less than a hundred meters away from the archives room, the two of them did not encounter any guards again. The door to the archives room was closed tightly. Sakura originally had the corresponding permissions, so she tried it, but as expected, the permissions had been canceled.

"Oh, is Mei moving so fast?"

Sakura smiled bitterly and swung a mediocre sword, and the door to the archives room collapsed. But at the same time, there were also mechanical and neat steps in the darkness behind them.

"As expected of Mei..."

Sakura sighed and quickly scanned the entire archives room. After confirming that there were no strange things lurking here, she lightly patted Bronya on the shoulder.

"Bronya, I'll leave it to you to find the location of Ling and your sister. Can you do it?"

Bronya glanced at the large lights dimly lit in the darkness, which were the lighting equipment on the mecha... Sure enough, getting involved in this matter would be a disaster...

However, there is no other way.

She nodded vigorously.

"Well, let me handle these annoying things."

Sakura held the long knife in front of her. The next moment, the figure blocking Bronya disappeared, and instead, a harsh light lit up in the darkness deeper in the passage.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath and patting her head, Bronya quickly rushed to the terminal in the archives room.

Now that I have chosen to follow this woman named Sakura, there is nothing I can do about it. It seems that this organization called the Fire Chaser Moth, and the Dr. Mei who is still not sure whether it is the one he knows, do not intend to communicate properly, and now they can only leave their lives to Sakura.

And, she is indeed very strong.

Her ten fingers danced on the projected keyboard, and Bronya skillfully typed lines of code, easily obtaining all the permissions of the terminal.

"Strange, most of the code can run, is this really the last era?"

She first searched for information related to Seele, but found nothing. It seems that the world will not cover up her lies. Seele is not imprisoned here, and it is even possible that she is not in this world. Of course, the latter possibility is based on the premise that this world is, as she guessed, the same as the place where she was pulled into the Oceania branch before, a world bubble that records the history of 50,000 years ago.

She quickly turned the search target to Ling, and effortlessly found several records not long ago——

[3:24 on May 5, 12th year of Zhuhuo:]

[Report: Suspect No. 1 has obvious Honkai energy reaction in his body. Should he be transferred to the 33rd underground floor for detention?]

[Reply: Approved. ]

[PS: The Houkai reaction that Alicia was chasing has been confirmed to be emitted by the Herrscher, but no traces of life activities were found in the area. It is currently impossible to confirm how the Herrscher did this, but judging from the current situation, suspect No. 1 is very likely to have become the Herrscher. Ordinary soldiers should not contact suspect No. 1, and the escort mission will be completed by Kevin. After entering the 33rd underground floor, suspect No. 1 will also be personally guarded by Kevin, and the rest of the people are prohibited from approaching. ]

[Another report (high-level encryption):]

[Mei, suspect No. 1 is Sakura's sister after all. Shouldn't we notify her before we do this? ]

[Reply (high-level encryption):]

[First of all, please call me Dr. Mei, Colonel Kevin in this case. Secondly, Alicia had already notified Sakura, and I promised her at that time to give her a chance to rescue Ling, but... Kevin, it's different now. It was just a small amount of Houkai reaction before, and it didn't even reach the level of turning people into dead soldiers. It doesn't explain too many problems. But the magnitude of the Honkai energy reaction not long ago was close to that of an emperor-level Honkai beast. Ling had not undergone a super-transformation surgery, but she did not show symptoms of Honkai disease or become a dead soldier under such a powerful Honkai energy reaction. What is the answer, Kevin, you should know. 】

[Another report (high-level encryption): Okay, I will follow your orders, Mei. 】

[Reply (high-level encryption): Kevin, you are responsible for the escort and custody of Ling, do you understand what I mean? 】

[Another report (high-level encryption): I understand, before Ling becomes a Herrscher, I will not let anyone hurt her, and I do not believe that anyone will do so. But if she becomes a Herrscher in front of me, I will kill her immediately. 】

[Reply (unsent): Kevin, do you believe those soldiers... Well, I have not had as much contact with them as you, and I believe in your judgment. 】

"..."

Bronya swallowed hard, her clenched fists trembling, and her thick bangs seemed to be stuck to her forehead by sweat.

"Hersher... Sakura's sister, has become a Herrscher?"

She patted her head hard again.

"No! Even if she becomes a Herrscher, it is not impossible to fight for humanity! Isn't that the case with Walter, the leader of Anti-Entropy? And Meiyi, can't she suppress the consciousness of the Herrscher through other means... It's okay... It's okay..."

Footsteps sounded behind her, and Bronya's expression returned to the state of dead fish eyes again.

"How is it, Bronya, do you have any clues?"

Should I tell Sakura the truth?

Bronya hesitated for a moment, and replied concisely:

"Found it, thirty-three floors underground."

Sakura's eyes lit up, and then asked again:

"Where is your sister? Is there any clue about her?"

Bronya opened her jaw, and for a moment she couldn't make any sound.

She gradually realized a problem-the woman in front of her, who gave people a cold feeling whether she looked or fought, really cared about her.

He would waste time on Bronya when he was in a hurry to rescue his sister, and worry about whether she could find her sister.

Is this... the former comrade of Mikael and Dr. May?

He feels completely different from him, her, and Velvet.

Her throat rolled, and Bronya's eyes flashed with subtle sadness, but this time it was no longer "acting" like before.

But in Sakura's eyes, it seemed to silently explain something.

"I'm sorry."

She clenched her fists again, trying to comfort Bronya with more optimistic words.

"It's okay, Bronya, maybe your sister has been transferred to another place... But if you look at it this way, how many children have the Fire Moth caught?"

Sakura raised her palm, as if she wanted to rub Bronya's head, but in the end, she just pulled Bronya's hand.

"We have to speed up. Follow me, Bronya. I will definitely take you out, and then we will go find your sister together, okay?"

The root of her nose suddenly felt sore, and Bronya was a little confused for a while. She only remembered that she nodded lightly, and then she was pulled by Sakura to run again.

It's not that she didn't understand the current situation, but Bronya felt an unprecedented emotion from the woman in front of her who she had only known for less than 20 minutes.

She feels a bit like Cocolia's mother, but even when she and Cocolia were on the best terms, she didn't express her concern so directly. If she didn't still have the memory of the fever, Bronya would sometimes wonder if Cocolia just treated her as a slightly special tool?

Oh, now I remember that in just a dozen minutes, Sakura made her feel more like Nata, more like a "sister". But Bronya and Natasha are not sisters after all. They may have that possibility, but before that, they have already become comrades fighting side by side, and Natasha only treats her as a peer most of the time, not a child who needs more care and comfort.

"..."

She has always played the role of a sister in front of others, and this is the first time she has experienced the care from a "sister".

This matter was like a dream from beginning to end, and Bronya was also very sober - this is probably a dream like the previous world bubble.

"Forget it. If we can take Seele back to the original world, let's ask Dr. Mei and Velvet about the whereabouts of 'Sakura'."

Bronya wanted to find her. No, Bronya must find her now. This was an emotional impulse similar to the desire to find Seele, even though it was only for a moment, and even though Bronya did not realize what this impulse meant.

The dark corridor seemed to have no end at all. It might also be that when Bronya realized that Seele was not in this world, she no longer had much expectation for what would happen next.

However, the same emotion sometimes has the opposite interpretation, for example, she simply did not want to see what would happen next.

She still ran with her head down, following Sakura's rhythm with every step, but she suddenly held Sakura's hand with force.

"Sakura, there is something I want to tell you."

"What?"

"I just saw..."

"Stop!"

Bronya's head hit Sakura's back directly. She quickly adjusted her position and stood almost side by side with Sakura, and she quickly realized what was happening.

It was a tall figure holding a flaming sword upside down, blocking the last intersection before they went to the elevator leading to the 33rd floor underground.

"Kevin, are you going to stop me too?"

Sakura put her hand on the hilt again, without any hesitation.

"Oh, that's right. As long as it's Dr. Mei's request, no matter if you think it's reasonable or not, you will do it."

They... are probably comrades-in-arms, right?

Looking at the long sword full of coldness in Sakura's hand and the flaming sword in the hand of the white-haired man not far away, these two weapons made Bronya feel that they were much more dangerous than the weapons of the Gods of Destiny. And the strength that Sakura showed before, killing twelve heavy Titan-like mechas in such an easy way... She had not seen the battle of the S-class Valkyrie with her own eyes, so it was difficult to make an analogy, but it was definitely stronger than all the A-class Valkyries she had seen.

The man in front of her dared to stop her alone, and he was definitely not weaker than her. Bronya didn't believe that a civilization could cultivate too many such warriors, and Sakura was originally a warrior of the Fire Moth, which means that they were indeed comrades-in-arms.

But... Bronya couldn't feel any trust between comrades from the two people who were confronting each other.

All she could feel was vigilance, suspicion... and the chill in the air that almost condensed into a solid body.

Wait!

"Kevin? This name is a bit...his?"

Bronya didn't care when she saw it in the file before, but now she realized that the man in front of her was the one they wanted to rescue when they came to Haiyuan City.

The so-called, the only warrior who had a chance to defeat Mikael.
