Chapter 50: There’s No Turning Back…

After about half an hour of unconsciousness, Bronya slowly woke up.

The first thing she saw was Kiana and Mei looking at her.

"You're awake," Kiana said, her eyes filled with a trace of pity. "Anti-Entropy's spy."

Hearing "Anti-Entropy," Bronya's confused mind started to clear.

"Yes, you're reacting. Indeed, you are from Anti-Entropy."

Confirming her thoughts, Kiana continued, "You came here to recover Mei-senpai, didn't you? So, was all of this your doing? The Eruption and the pursuit of Mei-senpai—was it all part of your plan?"

Bronya remained stoic, saying nothing.

"If you won't speak, I'll take it as a confirmation…" Kiana said, her voice rising. "Do you know what you've done? Nearly ninety percent of the people in this city have been killed by you and your kind!"

As Kiana reprimanded and slapped Bronya, the latter endured the criticism in silence.

Seeing this, Kiana sighed deeply.

"You heartless monsters, I really want to shoot you right now…" Kiana said as she reached for her gun.

Mei stopped her. "Forget it, Kiana. She might just be a tool used by others… she might not even know what's going on."

"Mei-senpai, she has been chasing after you from the beginning. Are you just going to forgive her that easily?"

"It's not about easy forgiveness… But she's younger than us, and she became a killer to hunt us. I can't imagine what kind of experience made her like this, but taking her life so directly seems too pitiful."

Mei said with a look of pity. "Besides, she's already faced such punishment. I don't think it's necessary to take her life."

"That's true…" Kiana said, putting away her weapon. "Seeing that might be worse than death."

What punishment? What could be worse than death? Why are they talking like this?

Bronya didn't understand what they were saying, but an ominous feeling was creeping in. She instinctively called for Project Bunny 19c, but was shocked to find it unresponsive.

It was nearly impossible for Project Bunny not to respond, even if it was stuck to the wall by a mysterious magnet. But this total lack of response was almost inconceivable.

Realizing something, Bronya looked at the place where Project Bunny had been.

It was gone; Project Bunny was no longer on the wall!

Not only Project Bunny, but the man and that strange cat were also missing from the place.

The only clue left was Project Bunny.

"Where did you take it?!" Bronya's voice was devoid of emotion as she demanded answers, surprising Kiana with her response.

Kiana glanced at Bronya with a detached look. "You mean that thing? Let me check the time…"

She took out her phone and checked. "Hmm, you've been out for almost an hour. About half an hour ago, those two said they were taking it out for a spin. So, it's probably about time."

Taking it out for a spin?

"You were asking where the big monster went?" Kiana answered with a sideways glance. "Nothing much, those two… took it out for a joyride."

?

As Bronya was full of question marks, she heard the roar of an engine coming from the doorway.

"Yahoo!!!!"

With a cheerful shout, a two-seater go-kart burst through the door.

Tom was driving, wearing a blue helmet and confidently holding the steering wheel like an experienced driver. Behind him was Li Huan, wearing a black helmet, strapped in, and looking as cheerful as a nineteen-year-old.

And the go-kart they had built…

Wait, the front of the car, is that Project Bunny's head?

Bronya looked closely and saw that the front of the vehicle was indeed Project Bunny's head.

Not only that, but the entire vehicle was made from Project Bunny's parts.

These two had dismantled Project Bunny and turned it into a car!

Realizing this, Bronya was overwhelmed by a storm of doubt—although she was devoid of emotion, her reason told her that this was impossible.

Her Project Bunny was a quantum weapon. How could it be dismantled and reassembled into a new item? Moreover, it was directly bound to Bronya, making it impossible to do so—

Then she suddenly remembered the magnet from earlier.

If a magnet could hold a quantum weapon to the wall, then dismantling it to make a go-kart might not be so strange after all.

"Hey, little lady, you're awake."

Li Huan had Tom park the go-kart in front of Bronya and smiled at her. "Let me tell you, this Project Bunny is really useful. After we turned it into a car, we drove it around the academy, and whenever we encountered enemies, we just smashed them. Anyone trying to catch us was just a fantasy."

Bronya glared at Li Huan and asked, "What… exactly did you do?"

Since recognizing Project Bunny, Bronya had been trying to call it, but it never responded, as if it had stopped following her altogether.

"You're asking that? It's simple." Li Huan shrugged. "This thing is no longer your Project Bunny 19c. After our modifications, it's now my go-kart, Heavy-Armored Bunny 19c."

With that, Li Huan gave a smirk that was both cynical and disdainful, like a character from an R18 comic, and said to the distressed Bronya, "It's already… gone beyond return…"

To confirm Li Huan's words, Tom happily honked the go-kart's horn, and Heavy-Armored Bunny let out a roar similar to before, but obviously much tamer.

For some reason, Bronya felt a greenish layer forming on her forehead.

Like a vast green pasture.
