Chapter 85:The Queen is About to Wake Up

Gazing at Void Archives who was reminiscent of a certain Bunny, Mr. Otto fell into contemplation.

"Is this your original appearance?" he queried.

"This is how I originally should look," came the response.

"But why do you resemble Bronie so closely? Could it be that your memory storage area has also been modified?" Otto inquired further.

"No, my original template should resemble the artificial intelligence assistant next to Dr. Mei. From the data transferred from Miss Bunny, it appears our resemblance is merely coincidental, and there's an even more important point where she differs from me," Void Archives clarified.

As Void Archives spoke, he, or she, straightened her more puffed chest, seemingly proud of the matter.

Accompanying Otto for many years, his old friend was always changing, but was such a change really that surprising?

"What sets you apart?" Otto inquired.

"In terms of agility," came the response.

"Hahaha! I never thought an AI like you could have a sense of humor," Otto chuckled, amused by the unexpected wit.

Knowing that his original Void Archives seemed bitter and resentful every day, Otto realized he had been a bit excessive in what he did to him, but who made him have to make good use of the knowledge inside him?

"Because of the Flamechasera of the previous civilization, their memory data still exists in this world, waiting for the day they can return to fight against the Honkai. Bronie will inevitably lead their return. She has been recognized by almost all the Flamechasers," Otto reflected.

It seemed that Bronie's information was quite valuable, and Void Archives was still the same Void Archives, with just a few minor changes.

Back at Schicksal Headquarters, Otto first found a computer completely isolated from any external network and then inserted the USB flash drive.

Inside the USB flash drive were only folders and various types of data, densely packed and completely incomprehensible to anyone without a bit of education.

But the most bizarre were the theories of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Aeon and its Paths.

Otto had a speculation about the Imaginary Tree, after all, constantly searching for the essence of the Honkai was also a way to find a way to resurrect Kallen.

But his research ability also had its limits, and every time he glimpsed a corner of the truth of the Honkai, he would easily find that his past understanding of the Honkai was simply a joke.

So was there a possibility?

That's just a slight possibility.

As a traveler of the Sea of Quanta, she confirmed there are indeed some Aeons, and his world is actually trapped by something called the Honkai, so it has almost cut off contact with other worlds, not even the strange Interastral Peace Corporation can be contacted.

Is it ridiculous?

Perhaps, but isn't the life of this man named Otto also equally ridiculous?

Originally thought that the Honkai could do anything and now there was hope to resurrect Kallen, but now it seems that another way has been found.

"Haxxor Bunny, you really brought me some good information, but the price of this kind of information is definitely not something that can be exchanged for just a little bit of technology, so what did you gain from my Void Archives?"

Intended to do something with Void Archives?

To be honest, Otto didn't think this was very likely.

"After self-examination, my body is fine, just some missing programs have been filled in," Void Archives explained.

"I'll have to check it myself to know, so just be quiet for a while, Amber, help me call Fu Hua, there's something I need Fu Hua's help with."

"Yes!"

...

"Bronie, I heard that there was suddenly a dead man's head next to Jackal's bed. She said she was threatened because of the execution of the Project Stigma, so she requested the mobilization of all the resources of the World Serpent to protect her. Is this related to you?"

Bronie glanced at Bronya beside her.

Bronya has been very attached to her recently, and Seele has been very attached to Bronya, which has resulted in the three of them often being together in the orphanage.

And Bronie felt that she had always acted with a clear conscience, so she didn't avoid the children and went straight to work.

The recent job was to make Bloodborne, fortunately, the game was a something easy to make, and Bronie, who had made Elden Ring before, was not unfamiliar with it.

But today, Raven sent a message thats unsuitable for children to hear.

"Am I that kind of person! I don't know what happened to Cleo's side!"

"It seems that the attack on the orphanage before was done by her, but it's also understandable. She's usually so arrogant and always making enemies everywhere. It's normal for her to run into a tough opponent this time."

"So, Bronie really doesn't know anything!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Bronie didn't put a dead man's head next to someone's bed, nor did she use a note to threaten others. Although it's impossible for Jackal alone to mobilize all the resources of the World Serpent, in the next period of time, Jackal will indeed be like a mad dog biting people everywhere, so be careful."

Cioara said that, and Bronie also knew that this guy probably hid in some safe place and then felt she was invincible again.

Doing everything arrogantly, but actually incompetent.

I wonder where this girl's confidence comes from.

"North Africa, right? World Serpent's base? I'll send Anti Entropy to bother her, and help Tesla deal with the guys they don't like."

What a strategy! This move is played well, and a world where only one is hurt is born!

"But speaking of it, Cioara, how's life been lately?"

"It's the same old, same old, every day with the regular customers. But Alexander said he kinda misses the drinks you used to make. He says they had a special taste."

"All muscle memory drinks, what's special about them? Am I supposed to add emotions to them? Or does he want to hit on me? Forget it, I'm underage, it's illegal for him to do that."

Bronie's disgusted expression made Cioara genuinely amused.

"Now you realize I'm underage? But it's been a while since we last met, and it seems like the little brat is really growing up. But you're not planning to come back for the New Year?"

"I can't bear to leave. Can you bear to see these cute kids lonely at home?"

Cioara also loves kids.

"Really, then I'll bring Kiana over next time?"

"So, how's Kiana been lately?"

"She's a good kid, always watching Siegfried go out with worry but not wanting to disappoint him, so she studies hard. Just feels a bit hot and cold."

"Kids are like that."

"Yeah, kids are like that. It's normal. But recently, the nearby Honkai seems to have strengthened a bit. Grey Serpent investigated around and found no signs of someone intentionally releasing the Honkai. It's estimated that soon the town won't be inhabitable anymore. What a pity for my little tavern, I haven't even made back the capital yet."

"So, Kiana is likely to show signs of losing control?"

"Although I don't like it, that's the fact, an undeniable fact."

Cioara isn't very familiar with the Herrschers and such, but seeing Kiana, who is usually so obedient, gradually losing control is heartbreaking.

Just like a child with a terminal illness, just looking at her makes you feel sorry.

To be honest, Cioara feels terrible about it too.

Honkai really terrible.

"I'll figure something out, and also pay attention to the recent movements of the Schicksal. If they start to act around here, you'd better consider leaving the town. Where there's Honkai, there are Valkyries. Although their combat power isn't great, they've never backed down in the face of Honkai."

"I know, but when it's irreversible, I'll kill her."

"No!"

"Do you know how dangerous Herrschers are to human civilization?"

"I know! But it absolutely can't be you who does it personally. At worst, it should be Siegfried, who has the Key of Destruction, who does it. If something goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility, and if Siegfried can't solve it, then I'll step in myself!"

Although Bronie also feels it's unlikely that she'll get involved.

If things really become irreparable, Otto would personally intervene to deal with Sirin.

Seeing Bronie's serious look, Cioara hesitated.

"Well, I hope your judgment is right, at least so far it's been correct."

"I know, I'll solve this as soon as possible. Ultimately, it's the instability of the Herrscher's core, and Sirin's resentment towards the world has never dissipated. I'll call in the experts soon."

The experts Bronie mentioned naturally refer to Elysia and maybe Mobius.

These two, one is the Herrscher of the Origin, naturally knows more, and her charming means might just melt Sirin's heart.

As for Mobius, it might require a bit of a tougher approach, but all of this needs to start with studying the Herrscher's core.

After all, compared to the Herrscher of the previous era, there are indeed significant differences in this civilization era's Herrscher, at least in the previous era, there weren't many with reason.

"So should I bring Kiana over?"

"Of course, we still need to bring her. The more bonds around Kiana, the more chance we have to call her back when she loses control. To put it bluntly, it's to bind her with friendship and family ties."

"You, you speak just like Otto. Okay, this time I'll ask Siegfried if he's willing to bring Kiana over. He's very protective of his precious one. Maybe the moment he hears this suggestion, he'll be on guard."

"That's a matter for later."

"Then wait for me to bring good news! Next time I come, remember to mix me one of your signature cocktails!"

"Although it's not very suitable to have alcohol in the orphanage, if it's just for you, there's no problem."

"Wow, such sweet talk, how much honey have you eaten lately?"

"That's all because Seele is always sweetly calling me Sister Bronie by the side. Come on, say hello to Cioara!"

"Hi, Sister Cioara~"

"Hey!"

Cioara smiled, happy as if her own child brought her granddaughter over.

You know, when Seele calls others sister, her sweet voice is really tempting.

"Okay, time to enjoy ends here. Seele and Bronya are mine, I won't share them with you. If you want such cute kids, adopt them yourself!"

"Yes, yes, but let me settle down before I make that decision."

Cioara currently considers herself very young, unlike Bronie, who has an old mentality at a young age.

Just adopting children and tying herself down to the orphanage, every day either working on making games or spending time with the kids, it's like she doesn't have any personal space or time.

To be honest, Cioara doesn't really despise this kind of life right now.

The pleasant communication ended, and Bronya quietly poked her head out.

"So, Sister Bronie, is stuffing someone's head next to their bed your usual way of threatening people?"

"Nonsense! I usually just warn them by breaking their limbs... Ugh, why are you paying attention to this?"

"Nothing, it's just that Bronya saw a side of Bronie that's even more unknown, so Bronya feels happy about it, and Seele probably thinks the same, right?"

"Breaking limbs, and stuffing heads... feels... a bit scary..."

But it does seem to be an act intended to scare others, so are these actions right?

Pure-hearted Seele doesn't know anything, just feeling a bit scared.

But actually, she's a little happy inside.

If it were Cocolia, she would have hidden something, making everyone often feel uneasy.

Although companionship can make everyone forget about it, the uneasiness that comes after quieting down will make the kids rely more on Cocolia.

Because they really have no one else to rely on.

But Sister Bronie is different. She teaches everyone how to live, how to face anxiety and fear, and always helps everyone find what they want to know. And her arrival always dispels the uneasiness brought by the unknown.

"Because being scary is what makes it effective. I don't want to see you suddenly end up in a jar one day, or something else, like being put into some dead man's head."

"Yikes!"

Seele was frightened. Bronie quickly hugged the tiny Seele, comforting her, "Relax, you all have the ability to stop all this from happening. Don't be afraid of the unknown future."

"Mmm... What game are we playing next, Sister Bronie?"

Seele felt this topic couldn't be discussed further, so she changed the subject.

"The next game is also a masterpiece, similar to Elden Ring, it's called 'Bloodborne'."

Okay, Seele regretted asking this question.

Just hearing the name gave her a creepy feeling.

Syddenly, tears welled up in Seele's eyes, like a little crybaby.

"It's a game where hunters hunt monsters, very exciting."
