Chapter 561: The First Step to Defeating Honkai: Defeating the Second Herrscher

"Hey! Kiana-san! Mei-san! And little Padu! You are all here! Oh! Lingshuang didn't explain clearly when she reported, and she was in a hurry. I thought the people from Anti-Entropy had already arrived. It seems that there is still plenty of time - how about seizing the last minute to have a hot pot?"

"Class...class monitor?"

Kiana's voice was hesitant, like a swing that was still swinging in the air after the person left.

Less than a month ago, the answer to this question was not a consideration for her at all - "Great!" She would definitely wave her fist and jump up happily.

But at that time, the old-fashioned and serious class monitor would never make such an invitation. This is a truth that even Kiana, who has always been despised by Bronya as a fool, understands.

In addition, she talked a lot about the class monitor with Padu these two days, which made her have a deeper understanding of the character of the senior named "Hua". No matter what, it is difficult for her to associate the woman in front of her who invited everyone to eat hot pot with the class monitor with a exaggerated smile.

"Squad leader... are you really okay..."

After holding it in for a long time, and looking at Mei and Paduo respectively, Kiana finally couldn't help but ask cautiously.

"Huh? What do you mean? What do you mean by asking this?"

Before anyone could react, Hua suddenly grabbed Kiana's shoulders and confronted her with an angry face.

But when Kiana wanted to struggle, and when Mei wanted to rush up to help, Hua, or the Herrscher of Knowledge, pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides at the speed of turning a PPT page, revealing a smile that was infinitely close to a fake smile.

"Ahhh, I knew that Kiana still cares about me... Hahaha! Don't worry! I have no problem - no problem at all! I am stronger now than before. I have no chance now, but you wait. If I meet Otto again, I will definitely avenge you!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge said the lines that had been brewing in his heart for a long time, and he opened his eyes with satisfaction, but what he saw was Kiana's expression of "Are you okay?"

"No, Kiana, what do you mean by this expression? Don't you believe me?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge frowned, and soon changed to an aggrieved expression.

"Squad leader... don't be like this... you're making me a little... scared..."

"Huh? Scared? Wait... Oh! So that's it!"

Seeing that she was about to get angry again, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly patted her head again, and then suddenly realized something. She first patted Kiana's shoulder heavily, raised her chin in a condescending manner, and then slowly explained to Kiana:

"So that's it, so that's it. Kiana, hold your head up... Oh no, lift your head and chest up. Your fear of me is just the influence of the Herrscher in your body. When the second collapse happened, she was beaten by me in an incomplete state and cried for her parents. Now I have been reborn, and I am much stronger than my strongest time in the past. I guess she must have been hiding in your body and trembling!"

"Uh..."

Kiana finally got rid of the clutches of the Herrscher of Knowledge, but still took two steps back with some worry. At the same time, with Hua's endless chatter, the scenery in front of Kiana suddenly changed. In an instant, she came from the ordinary courtyard on Taixu Mountain to the vast snowfield of Siberia, and there was a self with loose hair in front of her:

"Hehe! I'm really going to laugh to death... Kiana, are you sure that this chatterbox in front of you is your squad leader?"

Kiana was stunned.

"Second Herrscher? Why are you out again!"

"I was originally planning to be a quiet spectator, but who makes this reality more and more exciting? I really can't help but make some comments."

In the consciousness space, Kiana was a little silent.

To be honest, after just a few days of not seeing her, she was not only surprised at how the squad leader escaped from the man's hands and how he regained his body. Of course, this is a good thing. She was also surprised that the squad leader in front of her, except for his face and voice, had nothing to do with the familiar Fu Hua squad leader.

If the squad leader's original personality is like this, it is even more unreasonable, because it does not conform to Pado's description.

Thanks to this, it is impossible to say that Kiana did not feel a "thump" in her heart. But when the Second Herrscher said those words, the contradiction was obviously transferred silently.

"You said this to sow discord between me and the squad leader, right? Don't worry, I am no longer the idiot I used to be, and I will never be fooled by you!"

The Second Herrscher's lips were pursed into a straight line, but this state only lasted for two or three seconds, and the straight line was bent into a "U" shape in an instant, but the Second Herrscher did not laugh out loud, leaving only such a weird silent smile to Kiana.

The snowfield in the consciousness space suddenly became brighter, as if the snow was reflecting the white halo of the midday sun, and in the moment when her pupils shrank slightly, Kiana returned to reality.

In reality, the squad leader once again pressed her shoulders hard, and his eyes, which could not be bigger, were full of expectations in front of her, as if waiting for her response.

"How about it!! What do you think of my proposal!!! Do you think it's good!!!! If it's good, we will start now! Now! Right here!"

Kiana paused suddenly. During the time she was thinking just now...did she miss something? In fact, she didn't care whether she heard it or not. Being stared at like this, no matter what she wanted to say, she couldn't say it for a while.

But after such a short pause, the Herrscher of Knowledge's face darkened again, and the wrinkles on his forehead almost formed an "unhappy" shape.

"Um... monitor, calm down first, this will scare Kiana."

"Yes, Ahua, Qiana is still a child, how can she resist your enthusiasm!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Mei quickly grabbed Kiana's shoulders from behind, and took advantage of Pado's opportunity to pull the "squad leader" away, pulling Kiana back a little bit.

"Pado! Why are you dragging me along! Whose side are you on?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge was naturally very dissatisfied with being forcibly interrupted. With her anger rising, even just a gesture of putting her hands on her hips had frightened Padu. She even recalled the fear of being dominated by Brother Jie for stealing a door.

If there was anyone present who reacted the most to Hua's changes, it was undoubtedly her.

Not only because she spent the longest time with Ah Hua, but also because of a special mission experience that made her instinctively wary of this change in personality.

And as soon as she thought about that possibility, her calves began to tremble uncontrollably. But when she turned her head and saw the two girls from the new era, she could only squeeze out a heartless smile on her crying face, and hugged Ah Hua's arm with a joking tone. Covering up the trembling voice:

】

"Hahaha...Ahua, what are you talking about! Aren't Kiana and Mei Yi your partners, Ahua! There's no way to say which side you're on, hahaha!"

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm serious! Didn't you hear it? Right now! Right here! Before Mei comes, let's eliminate the Second Herrscher's consciousness first! Then Kiana can take care of herself. If you master the power of the Herrscher of the Sky, you no longer have to worry about the danger of the Herrscher’s consciousness! Forget it, Padu, don’t you believe me too! Don’t I have this ability?”

The strange-colored eyes glanced to the side, and the corners of his mouth also pulled to the side. Pado took a half-step back in embarrassment.

"Um...Ahua, we don't know what state you are in now...but you probably haven't forgotten that Yu Duchen is broken..."

Seeing Ah Hua's sudden change of expression, he couldn't help but pretend to be intimate and stick to her again, and he held her arms in his arms and shook her.

"Ahem! Let's just remind you, Ahua, you are so smart, you will definitely not forget this, right?"

As soon as these words came out, under Pado's careful observation, Ahua's face finally warmed up, and he gave her an awkward yet polite smile.

But it was really just a forced smile.

The inner thoughts of the great Herrscher of Knowledge were actually very simple, quite, quite, quite simple - she had forgotten Yu Duchen's problem.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh she forgot!

The original plan was to use Yu Duchen's name to go deep into Kiana's spiritual world to find the evil Second Herrscher, retrieve the place from sixteen years ago, and at the same time help Kiana fully control the power of the Herrscher and thus take the step of Qian Fan Beng. Here comes the first bad step... In this way, she can legitimately show her power, so that everyone can recognize her as a "new beauty", and then she...

Then she realized that she had forgotten that Yu Duchen was broken...

but……

She looked at Pado through her narrowed smiling eyes, then looked at Kiana and Mei Yi who were standing not far away, and she had some concerns in her heart.

Pado is a fool, Kiana is also a fool, and Mei... is probably one-tenth as smart as her, but as long as she says that she can help Kiana clear the consciousness of the Second Herrscher, she will definitely ignore it automatically The problem is, after all, Mei doesn't want to wake up and find that the Kiana she is familiar with has become the second Herrscher, right?

"Ahem! Well... Pado, to be honest, I am no longer the same person I used to be! After being reborn, I have gained more power than I did in my heyday! Just rely on me! I am now , everything can be done!

As she spoke, Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge seemed to believe it herself. She even raised her right hand that was not held by Padu and cheered loudly... Oh, no, that last sentence is indeed what she has always believed. thing.

Seeing Ah Hua who was so restless, the smile on Pado's face became brighter, but also became more unnatural.

Many people think that Pado is a fool, but this rumor was spread by Pado when he first came to the Fire Moth and he paid Erwin, the former No. 1 loudmouth in the Fire Moth, to help spread it, because people tend to believe it. A fool must also be an honest person, which is much better than directly portraying an honest image. The advantage of having this first impression is that she can easily get rid of the theft charges for a long time—— Although in the end, he still couldn't escape the reckoning of old and new grudges.

But how could a fool become an outstanding thief and survive to the end? She's just a little silly at best.

Therefore, when Ahua confidently declared that she had gained more power than in her heyday, her first reaction was not happiness, but a sense of solidity that her premonition had come true - a bad premonition.

To this day, even though fifty thousand years have passed, she still cannot forget that mission...

If I remember correctly, the whereabouts of Ahua's body are unknown, and only his consciousness is attached to Yu Duchen's feathers.

If I remember correctly, that time, the man whose name he had almost forgotten tried to use the body of Boss Mikael to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, the consciousness of the Seventh Herrscher descended directly into the empty body of Boss Mikael, giving everyone Caught off guard.

Then this Ah Hua in front of me wouldn't be able to...

Only this situation can explain her sudden change in personality and the power she said she had beyond her prime...

If this is the case, then Ahua's proposal is indeed feasible - unfortunately, it is on the premise of abandoning the position and only looking at ability.

If the person standing in front of him is really the Herrscher, Pado has every reason to believe that the other party's real purpose is not to eliminate the Second Herrscher, but to liberate the shackles that Hua Shi gave to the Second Herrscher. If you think this way, repeated invitations to fight have turned into a kind of temptation.

Lawyer... Lawyer...

Except for Boss Mikael, she had only been so close to the Herrscher twice. Once was the former Seventh Herrscher, and the other time is now.

I really want to escape...but I can't...not to mention that there are two girls behind me who don't understand the situation. Although Pado knew that his fighting ability was far inferior to the two of them, and in order to facilitate business, he still referred to them as "Sister Qiana" and "Sister Mei", but he still regarded them as his juniors in his heart.

As a senior, even if you can't protect your juniors with your strength, at least you can't retreat, right?

She steeled herself and tried to test it casually:

"Let's not talk about this...Ahua, do you remember what happened after I escaped with Kiana? Why did you fight with Boss Mikael? How did you return to your body later? ? You didn’t say any of this, it’s a bit scary to just appear in front of us like this!”

"What's so scary about this!"

The Herrscher of Consciousness raised his voice and shouted. It was not so much a subconscious rebuttal, but rather a guilty conscience as the pain point was touched.

What what?

I had a fight with Mikael before?

There is obviously not a drop of Mikael's memory left, so how can he explain it to Pado?

The cheeks of Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge gradually faded to almost the same color as the clouds in the mountains.

"Don't talk about those useless things! No...I mean...don't worry about those things for now, Pado, just tell me whether you are willing to deal with the Second Herrscher here, or whether you are against it!"

"Ah...this, this..."

"Zi Ci? Or do you object?"

The smile collapsed instantly, but Pado finally managed not to hold back.

But in the blink of an eye, she seemed to be grasping at straws and thought of a well-founded excuse:

"That Ah Hua...Dr. Mei didn't order us to do this...if she kept the Second Herrscher just to play a big game of chess, wouldn't it mean that if we did this, her plan would be completely...completely... ...all...ruined..."

The voice became lower and lower, because "Ahua" had already thrown away her hand and stared at her with an extremely terrifying and ferocious expression.
