"Qian Jue?!" Theresa stood up excitedly when she suddenly heard the name. Just two days ago, wasn't the person who attacked them someone related to Qian Jue?
"Yes, it should be him, oh no, it's them."
"Each of them is Kindred. If we follow your guesses, this Kindred should be the organization created by the Herrscher of Knowledge."
While the three people in the conference room were still speculating about Kindred's existence, Kiana finally arrived at Anti-Entropy.
Chapter 163 The Law of Knowledge is False
"Well, my mission is accomplished. I wish you good luck."
The plane landed smoothly. With Su Jue's escort, there was naturally no danger.
However, now the timeline has been disrupted by Su Jue, the Herrscher of the Void is missing, and many plots that were supposed to have happened have changed.
Since finding a new means of observation, Otto has locked himself in the laboratory all day and has no time to investigate other things. The only thing to worry about is the World Serpent. If I remember correctly, the original Kevin chose to attack the Vimur base after he came out and tried to kill Kiana.
According to the information obtained by the undercover agent Moth, the next plan of the World Serpent is to attack the Anti-Entropy Base in North America and seize the Holy Judgement of Skyfire. It is estimated that they will not have time to cause trouble.
"Thank you, Miss Liuli." Mei nodded slightly to express her gratitude as she helped Kiana get off the plane.
After more than 4 hours of travel, she also found that although the secretary's behavior was a little strange, she was generally an easy-going person.
And he also takes good care of me, but I don't know why he is hostile to Kiana. Logically speaking, Kindred serves the Herrscher of the Void, so he shouldn't be hostile to Kiana.
"Ms. Kiana." [Kiana] had just appeared, and Bronya and Seele, who were waiting there, immediately spotted her.
Xier didn't know anything about the Herrscher of Knowledge, so she called out her name without thinking.
Hearing a stranger calling her, Kiana subconsciously looked at Xier, but found that the other party was looking in the direction of the helicopter.
"Hmm?" She turned to look at Liuli, her eyes narrowed slightly.
She didn't know if it was an illusion. She didn't notice it when she was close to him just now, but now that she was far away, the guy named Liuli looked more and more familiar. In her blurred vision, she actually had the illusion of another self.
The moment Seele called out her name, Bronya, who had also spotted Kiana, knew something bad was going to happen, and immediately shouted to the two of them, "Mei, come here quickly, that guy is a Herrscher!"
Law maker!
This name made Kiana's heart tremble, her expression was filled with disbelief, and her eyes became dim.
The Herrscher... is he talking about himself?
Her heart, which had been moved by Mei's words, began to waver, and the thing she feared most finally happened.
As expected, my former best friend has begun to reject me as a Herrscher?
boom--
The sudden sound of gunfire disrupted Kiana's thoughts. The bullet collided with the helicopter's door, cracking the glass.
A few white hairs fell, and [Kiana] kept her head tilted. The bullet was only three centimeters away from her face.
Her relaxed expression instantly turned cold, and her face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. If Su Jue hadn't reminded her, she would have been successfully attacked by Bronya.
"Bronya?"
The sudden outbreak of a battle made Mei's expression change, but now the airport had instantly turned into a battlefield, so she could only hold Kiana and temporarily hide behind the cover.
Kindred was helping his organization, and Bronya was his friend, so why did they suddenly have a conflict?
She couldn't figure it out, but Kiana was right next to her and she couldn't take any risks. She could only watch the two sides confront each other.
"Mei? What's going on?" Kiana was hugged tightly and looked confused. She could only ask Mei, "Isn't this the organization you joined?"
Facing Kiana's question, Mei looked bitter. She had only joined Kindred for a few days, but why did she feel like she was on a pirate ship?
In a flash, gunshots rang out and the entire tarmac instantly turned into a battlefield.
Having just been attacked, Anti-Entropy, which was already in a state of high tension, subconsciously thought that the base had been invaded by the Herrscher of Knowledge when they saw [Kiana] appear.
It is even possible that Mei Raiden has been controlled by the Law of Consciousness, betrayed Anti-Entropy, and brought the enemy here.
However, in fact, Su Jue had no idea that he had imagined the image of a Herrscher of Consciousness in his mind, and [Kiana] was even more confused.
Therefore, in the perception of both parties, this was undoubtedly a stab in the back.
boom--
The rocket directly detonated the helicopter. In the thick flames, a figure passed through the smoke and dust, leaving a trail in the air.
The Anti-Entropy's guard mechas immediately locked onto it and opened fire at the same time.
The surrounding steel buildings twisted instantly, barely blocking the barrage of bullets, but she was forced to retreat step by step.
"Su Jue... I'm angry." The sound of [Kiana] gritting her teeth came into his consciousness, and Su Jue sighed helplessly.
I just want Anti-Entropy to help heal Kiana, why are they all seeking death?
"Go ahead and make as much noise as you want, but remember to protect her."
The puppet's authority was unlocked, and the power from the group consciousness slowly focused on [Kiana], causing the puppet's combat power to soar from A-level all the way to the S-level limit in the blink of an eye.
After getting Su Jue's affirmation, a crazy smile gradually appeared on [Kiana]'s mouth. She suddenly felt like she had returned to the time when she and Su Jue fought against Walter in the world bubble.
At that time, she only had to obey Su Jue's orders and fight with all her might without considering gains and losses, right or wrong.
In the years after the war, as she grew older, she gradually became more stable. However, [Kiana] knew very well that she was definitely not a stable logistics.
That's why after Su Jue left the world bubble, he became more and more angry, and finally he just gave it his all and broke the world bubble to find Su Jue.
"As expected, I'm not cut out to be a secretary. Fighting is more suitable for me."
……
"Principal, the Herrscher of Knowledge is invading! Requesting support." A message was immediately sent to Theresa, and Bronya and Seele stared vigilantly at the building that was torn into pieces.
The exploding flames covered the area, making it impossible to see Kiana's condition.
She didn't dare let her guard down and could only use the heavy-armored Bunny to continuously suppress fire to buy time for others.
I don’t know if Walter can provide support…
"Everything that happened in the past has only resulted in failure."
"The people I wanted to protect gradually disappeared."
A cold voice rang out on the battlefield, and a figure gradually became clear in the burning flames.
Alarm bells rang in her heart and sweat began to drip down her forehead. Bronya only had time to raise her shield before she was knocked away by a huge force.
The next moment, [Kiana] came to her side again, grinning, and punched her hard.
click -
Yamabuki's shield was shattered, and Bronya crashed into the ground like a cannonball.
The surrounding guard mechas immediately opened fire, but turned into balls of fire in the next second.
"Sister!" Xier, who had just reacted, screamed, but what she faced was also a plain punch.
He immediately raised his sickle to block in front of him, but was directly hit and sent into a phase-travel state.
"Only deep regret."
"Only then can a completely new growth be achieved!"
Standing in the flames, [Kiana] walked out step by step, the traces of time gradually faded from her body, and her appearance returned to its original appearance in the Quantum Sea.
Kiana, who was being held by Mei, broke free and rushed straight into the battlefield.
Her lake-blue eyes were filled with fear, and opposite her, the girl with the same lake-blue eyes had a grin on her face.
"Who are you?"
"What? You can't even recognize yourself? Ki-yana~"
~Na~"
Chapter 164 Doll
The two identical Kianas facing each other are like two sides of a mirror.
Kiana stood there, trying to figure out the disguise of the person opposite her.
But apart from the fact that [Kiana]'s clothes were still the same as Liuli's, there was no difference between her and her.
"I am another you." With a mischievous mentality, [Kiana] slowly put away her crazy smile, imitated the other's expression, and approached step by step. "You took away my life, took away my love, took away my name... Tsk, can't I use a name?"
[Kiana] Kiana didn't hear the second half of the whispered words, but even so, ripples appeared in her mind.
Kiana Kaslana, this name does belong to someone else. Could the person in front of me be her?
She's back? To take back everything that belongs to her?
With her mind full of chaotic thoughts, Kiana fell into deep self-doubt at this moment.
"Kiana?" Mei, who had been chasing after her, suddenly stopped. There were two identical people in front of her. But she realized in an instant that she would not mistake the real Kiana.
However, as soon as Mei came to Kiana's side, she felt that she was in an abnormal state. Not only did the concentration of Honkai energy in her body increase sharply, but her mental state was also a little absent.
Obviously, this is a sign of impending transformation into a Herrscher.
"Kiana, calm down." He held Kiana's hands and tried to wake her up.
Unfortunately, now Kiana’s sight is only focused on her other self, who is fixed on [Kiana] with his golden cross eyes slightly brightening.
The murmur of destruction gradually emerged in my ears, accompanied by the faint sneer of the Herrscher of the Void.
Seeing the Herrscher's consciousness making a comeback, Kiana was about to lose control. Invisible threads spread out from the bracelet she wore, turning into winding veins that clung to her and absorbed the Honkai energy that was leaking from her body.
Just in case, before the transfer, Su Jue specially constructed this bracelet using the power of law and control ability to cover up the aura of the Herrscher on them.
The working principle is also very simple. It relies on Su Jue's ability to directly steal Honkai energy, thereby achieving an effect similar to that of an inhibitor.
With Su Jue's assistance, the collapse cracks on Kiana's body quickly subsided and gradually returned to normal levels.
The dizziness in her mind finally became less severe. Kiana held her forehead with one hand, and her confused eyes gradually became clear.
……
After feeling that the concentration of Honkai energy in the air was gradually decreasing, Raiden Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She let go of the hand that was holding Kiana and looked at the person opposite with some vigilance.
The familiar uniform looked a little baggy on her. After changing into a girl, Kiana's figure also returned to its former state. Although the other person looked almost identical to Kiana, Mei could tell at a glance that the Kiana opposite was Liuli who had escorted them here before. She asked tentatively, "Ms. Liuli, is that you?"
"Shut up, you traitor!" After glaring at her fiercely, [Kiana] didn't bother to talk nonsense and simply raised her hand to control the two of them first.
"I... I'm not." Mei felt a little aggrieved. She didn't expect Bronya to attack directly without any chance to ease the situation.
"There must be some misunderstanding here. Let me explain it to them..."
Unfortunately, [Kiana] was no longer in the mood to listen to her explanation. She had clearly had the upper hand just now, but Su Jue had secretly given Kiana a buff, which made her very unhappy.
Since you said you can let me make a fuss, then I will make a fuss for you to see.
It's totally okay to let them learn a lesson.
[Kiana] thought to herself, and reached out to grab Mei, but just when she was about to succeed, her wrist was firmly grasped.
Kiana, who had just been entangled in confusion about Kiana's identity, immediately discovered that the other party was different from the girl she had met before after she came to her senses.
"Who are you? You are not me, and you are not Kiana."
[Kiana] wanted to withdraw her hand, but she found that the other party had so much strength that she could hardly move.
He simply threw a backhand punch, forcing Kiana to retreat, but he also lost the initiative.
Perhaps for some reason, neither side used Honkai energy, but instead fought relying on their respective physical fitness.
For a moment, even Meiyi couldn't tell them apart and could only watch anxiously.
The two of them were punching and kicking each other, and it felt like an ordinary person fighting. If they weren't pulling each other's hair, no one would doubt that it was a quarrel between twin sisters.
While they were fighting, a fist-sized stuffed cat pendant accidentally slipped out of Kiana's pocket and fell at Mei's feet.
Reaching out to pick up the doll, Mei just stood up when a black shadow flashed before her eyes, and the next second the doll returned to [Kiana]'s hands.
With this interruption, the two finally separated and looked at each other.
Kiana also discovered this stuffed cat. Its furry black body and four snow-white paws immediately reminded her of the cat that once belonged to Su Jue.
During the retreat of Sky Dome City, it was Stepping Snow that covered its escape, and no one knew what happened to it after it returned to the battlefield.
"That cat..." Kiana stared at the doll in the other person's hand, and a feeling of uneasiness was emerging in her heart.
