"Understood, my lord."
Naturally, Reanna agreed with Tian Shi's order to "eliminate the problem forever."
They have set their sights on the orphanage, and Reanna feels that she wouldn't be worthy of her status if she didn't kill them.
But...
"Lord Leader, the current situation may require your help."
Reanna narrowed her eyes as she watched a figure enter the orphanage.
"Those people at the front door are no problem for me, but it's hard to tell if they will have another group waiting behind the scenes, it's a shame Cocolia isn't here, or maybe they simply saw this opportunity."
"Then you capture people and I defend the tower, right?"
"Easy."
Tian Shi easily understood what Reanna meant.
"Dealing with a few common people is easy for me."
Without a doubt, Tian Shi is a monster to common people today.
"Hmm... Bronya, take this, a silenced pistol."
Reanna handed Bronya a pistol.
"I've seen your previous fighting style, strangling your opponent with stockings..."
Reanna said something quite strange, after all, killing someone with stockings, this way of dying is too bizarre, isn't it?
It's like being killed by a white furry rabbit.
In any case, Reanna felt that she could not accept that way of dying.
"Anyway, this pistol should be more suitable for the current situation... Can you use it?"
Bronya took the pistol and nodded.
"Then I'll leave this to the Alliance Master and Bronya."
"I'll go take care of these hyenas right away, I hope the noise doesn't disturb the children's rest."
Instead of taking out her spear, Reanna drew her saber from her waist and left silently.
After watching Reanna leave, Bronya's gaze turned to Tian Shi.
[Compatibility with Bronya +5%]
[Compatibility with Bronya +5%]
Two identical messages appear one after another.
"?"
What's wrong?
Tian Shi tilted his head.
Don't you think this compatibility increase is strange?
"Brother... they are moving."
Bronya looked at Tian Shi with a hesitant look on her face.
Ah... by the way, the one who is possessed now is Bronya's Homu doll.
"Um... can I touch it, Brother?"
"No, even if it is possession or something... oh, what the heck is this ability?"
Tian Shi suddenly discovered that the ability he possessed in this Homu was a bit outrageous.
Charm enhancement (children), bomb throwing, head stomping.
The last two are fine, although they are truly something to complain about, but they are still quite decent among the rare ones, but what the heck is this charm enhancement for children?
At that moment, Bronya almost couldn't contain her emotions.
That expression doesn't mean you just want to touch me and that's it, right?
You probably want to pounce on me and rub me to your heart's content!
"The feeling is still the same as before..."
When Bronya heard this, a look of loss appeared on her face.
"It's okay, if you really want to touch it, then touch it as much as you want."
Tian Shi still succumbed to the girl's coquetry.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Bronya showed a strange look of joy on her face and rushed in.
Didn't you say you just wanted to touch it?
Looking at Bronya, who threw herself into his arms, there was no surprised expression on Tian Shi's face.
After all, he was mentally prepared for the current situation.
"The three great lies of life: I'm just playing, I'm just taking a bite, I can't enter..."
"?"
Bronya tilted her head, somewhat confused about why Tian Shi suddenly said that.
"Nothing, don't worry, but speaking of which, isn't it time to start our business?"
If it was the Big Duck holding him like this, it would be nothing, but being held like this by the current Bronya, Tian Shi always felt like he was going to be locked up.
Well, from a certain perspective, Tian Shi is actually quite hypocritical.
"Business... Bronya understands."
When Bronya heard the word "business," her expression quickly became serious.
Yes, now is not the time to hug my brother.
The most urgent thing is to protect the orphanage, although she really wants to hug him for a little longer.
Bronya skillfully checked the bullets in the pistol and took a deep breath after preparing.
"Bronya is ready, Brother, please give the order."
"The word 'order' sounds like we are strangers."
Tian Shi tapped Bronya's head.
"Let's see..."
Tian Shi's soul ascended to the sky, flying to the maximum height and dominating the ground.
"Damn it, I can't see clearly."
It was too dark and there were some trees around the orphanage, so Tian Shi couldn't see anything unless there was a big movement on the ground.
So, there was indeed a big movement.
"Wait... someone is climbing the wall from behind!"
Tian Shi switched to the private channel and reminded loudly.
"It's Seele's room!"
Oh, wait, is this the kidnapping of Seele?
Tian Shi quickly returned to Bronya.
"Go find Seele."
In case Bronya hadn't heard clearly before, Tian Shi repeated it again.
"Seele?"
A trace of surprise and anger crossed Bronya's face, and she silently took the safety off her pistol.
"Bronya knows: where are they now?"
"He's using the hook to climb the wall, it's out of my control."
Tian Shi's face didn't look good either.
She said they would raid the house, and they did.
Reanna was very good at predicting things.
"So, hurry up."
"Of course!"
Bronya quickly followed; although Seele's room was beyond Tian Shi's fifty-meter interference range, it was in an orphanage, after all, so it wasn't too far.
Tian Shi didn't forget to bring the Homu doll with him.
Although it was not as flexible as his ghostly form, it could be used as a meat shield to block knives and attract firepower.
In case the opponent was so cruel as to want to kill him or something, Tian Shi still had a way to deal with him.
Well... I feel a little sorry for Bronya for this thought.
But I think for Seele's sake, Bronya won't mind.
Bang~!
When she reached Seele's door, Bronya chose the simplest and most brutal way to open the door without saying a word.
After a small sound, Bronya pushed the door open.
"Sister Bronya? And... Homu?"
Although the sound of "opening the door" didn't wake Seele, Bronya's anxious opening of the door still woke her up; furthermore, Seele was a light sleeper, and with the help of the hall light, Seele recognized Bronya with sleepy eyes.
"Seele, turn on the light..."
Seele rubbed her eyes and turned on the light in a daze; at that moment, Bronya made eye contact with the figure outside.
Bang~!
Bang--!
Bronya did not hesitate to think about it.
She raised her hand and fired.
With a noise of broken glass, the figure outside fell to the ground.
"Cranial perforation..."
Bronya softly murmured.
Obviously, the people outside had not considered the fact that a child like Bronya had a weapon in her hand; it was impossible to judge how the other party opened the door, and Bronya looked harmless and had a super strong reaction capacity.
With the combined efforts of the three factors, the gangster outside was shot dead on the spot by Bronya.
"Huh? Sister Bronya? What's wrong?"
The sound of the broken glass startled Seele and woke her up immediately, but, consequently, she did not hear the sound of the silenced pistol.
"Nothing."
Bronya hid the gun behind her back as if nothing had happened.
During these two months, Bronya had completely acquired a certain amount of social common sense.
Obviously, for a child Seele's age, it was not suitable to be exposed to cruel things like murder.
"Maybe when turning on the light, the current accidentally went through the glass and shattered it?"
"I was shocked too."
Bronya covered it up with a quite poor excuse; after all, Bronya had never thought about making excuses before, and quick wit was not her forte.
Tian Shi was already silently covering his face.
Seele is at least your age, right?
Are you really treating her like a fool?
"Is that so?"
Seele is not stupid, so she naturally showed a strange look when faced with such a poor excuse.
"That's right, Seele, Brother can testify."
Feeling that the situation was difficult, Bronya decided to bring Tian Shi into it.
Don't look for me!
I can't explain this!
"Um... yes, I can testify."
Although he was crying in his heart, Tian Shi still silently possessed the Homu doll, hoping to use his charm to make Seele ignore or believe this matter.
"Although this kind of thing is rare, if it is an energy leak or something, it may not... um, it may not be impossible."
Tian Shi considered that this excuse was not entirely convincing.
"It's a shame I can't take a souvenir photo."
"After all, this is a very research-focused project."
Tian Shi abandoned his dignity as a scientist and followed.
"Since Brother Leader said so, it must be true."
Seele reluctantly believed Bronya and Tian Shi's lies.
"By the way, what's wrong, Sister Bronya?"
"Why are you looking for Seele so late at night?"
"Say: 'I can't sleep, I want to go talk to you, Seele'."
Tian Shi switched to the private chat channel and gave instructions.
Please don't say anything weird again.
"I can't sleep, I wanted to chat with you, Seele."
Bronya clearly didn't have a chip installed in her brain, but she still read every word like a robot.
"Is that so?"
This reason was obviously much better than the ridiculous one Bronya had come up with before, and a smile immediately appeared on Seele's face.
"Yes, let's read the storybook together."
Tian Shi started, and the rest was not difficult for Bronya.
Reading stories was something Seele was familiar with.
"Brother Leader, can you come read to Seele and Sister Bronya?"
Seele looked at Tian Shi with hope; that look was really hard to refuse.
"It's okay."
It's just reading a story, which is not a difficult task for Tian Shi.
As for the group of criminals... leave them to Reanna.
"Brother Leader, can you lie down next to me?"
Seele patted the bed.
"Seele on the left, Sister Bronya on the right, and Brother Leader in the middle."
"I always feel like I'm on the verge of going to jail."
Tian Shi sighed slightly, but since things had come to this, he could only do what Seele said.
Then, two lolis hugged Tian Shi on his left and right... or rather, both lolis took the initiative to hug him.
Tian Shi opened the storybook and said.
"Let me tell you this story."
"Once upon a time there was a little bear..."
Boom, boom, boom!
Someone gently knocked three times outside.
"Mmm…"
Bronya's eyelids moved slightly, but she didn't wake up.
"Reanna, is it solved?"
Tian Shi covered the two little lolis with a quilt, controlled the doll's body, and tiptoed out.
Tian Shi had to be in a possessed state to communicate with others.
"Solved?"
"All solved, it's a mercenary group."
"Someone paid them three million dollars to kidnap Seele."
"The reason is that Seele holds a secret that can change the world; probably the stigmata, but it is confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with Schicksal."
"If the Bishop wanted to take action, he wouldn't send toys like mercenaries."
"Otto would take action, he might have to fight against an entire reorganized Valkyrie team."
Reanna had to admit that her former boss was incompetent, but if he really wanted to do something, his move would not only not be a fatal death, but he would at least hit the weak point.
It's probably another small organization with some knowledge of Honkai.
There are quite a few of these in the world, with complex connections and no idea of their own limitations.
Cocolia is on a mission, so we can ask her to clean it up.
"Just do what you say."
Tian Shi was speechless at this result, but then he thought of something interesting.
"Oh, by the way, if you have time, you can continue investigating."
"We have to solve the more complex issues."
Tian Shi always felt that if one could trace back to the end of these small organizations that Reanna mentioned, perhaps two or three of them could be traced back to World Serpent.
After all, Grey Serpent is very familiar with shell companies and the like; after all, Grey Serpent has been doing this kind of thing since the previous civilization.
However, given how clean Grey Serpent is, Anti-Entropy might not be able to catch his tail.
At the same time, Seele in the quilt opened her eyes with a little pain.
(You understand, right, Seele, how could something like glass break from such a silly excuse as an electrical leak?)
A voice that sounded the same as her own but with a completely different tone resonated in Seele's mind.
(One shot and the person outside the window died instantly.)
(Maybe he fell into pieces below.)
A devilish voice said frivolously.
(At that moment... you were excited, weren't you?)
(Without your brother and sister knowing, the excitement bloomed in your heart.)
"No, no..."
(Admit it, at that moment your true inner self—me—has begun to awaken.)
"No! No!"
