"Um……"
When Bronya opened her eyes again, the first thing she saw was the excited expression of the blue-haired girl.
"Sister Bronya, you finally woke up!"
"Xi'er... I... who am I..."
Bronya frowned, and carefully recalled what had happened to her. After Fang Zheng blocked the snake, she took Seele and ran towards the passage opened by the Eye of the Abyss. However, the ghosts of the Quantum Sea followed them closely. In the end, in order to let Seele return to reality, Bronya chose to stay and sent Seele into that passage...
"This is reality. It seems you are still not awake?"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Bronya's ears. Bronya was startled when she heard this playful voice and turned around. She saw Fang Zheng standing beside her bed, smiling and greeting her.
"Hey, did you sleep well?"
“Yuuki…?”
"Xi'er rescued you, and I just happened to be back... In short, everyone is safe."
"All is well..."
Bronya murmured to herself after hearing Fang Zheng's answer, but when she saw Fang Zheng's bandaged right hand, she was suddenly startled.
"Your right hand..."
"That guy was not easy to deal with, but I managed to kill him. Don't worry. He only got a few minor injuries. It's nothing serious."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and patted Bronya on the head.
"Okay, have a good rest. Others will come to see you soon. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around and left the ward, then walked to the corridor and stretched lazily.
"I didn't expect that in such a short time, there would be so many things."
It didn't take Fang Zheng much time to crawl out of the quantum sea. In fact, he crawled out soon after Seele brought Bronya out. But Fang Zheng's right hand still scared everyone at that time. In order not to worry Lala and Meigan, Fang Zheng used shadows to condense a mimic prosthetic limb. As long as it was bandaged and gloves were put on, ordinary people would not be able to see it.
Fang Zheng also learned from Leander, Xiao An and others who stayed there about what happened after he and Bronya entered the Eye of the Abyss.
The Honkai beasts attracted by the rampage of the Eye of the Abyss were eventually destroyed by Leander. Not only that, they also found Dr. Einstein. According to Dr. Einstein, she was attacked by a man named Gray Snake in the observatory and then locked up. After the Eye of the Abyss was opened, a good friend of hers who was supposed to disappear in the quantum sea suddenly appeared and helped her escape from prison.
Not only that, they also discovered the mastermind behind the whole thing - an organization called World Serpent.
In fact, before they arrived at the Eye of the Abyss, the man named Gray Snake from the organization found Cocolia and made a deal with her, hoping that she could open the Eye of the Abyss and then induce everyone to enter it. The condition they gave was to revive Xier and return to the real world.
In the end, Cocolia accepted Gray Snake's opinion, which is why she cooperated with Fang Zheng and others to hand over Haiyuan City.
However, to Cocolia's surprise, Gray Snake secretly activated the Eye of the Abyss, causing it to go berserk and Bronya to be trapped in the Quantum Sea. Cocolia was very angry about this and went to question Gray Snake and tried to break the deal between the two parties, but was killed by Gray Snake. Fortunately, Fang Zheng had told Xiao An to keep an eye on Cocolia before leaving. His original intention was to let Xiao An stop Cocolia's conspiracy, but he unexpectedly saved Cocolia's life.
After that, Cocolia was completely desperate and chose to surrender, then told the whole process of her transaction with the World Snake... Now it is obvious that the other party wanted Cocolia to open the Eye of the Abyss in order to lure Fang Zheng and others into the maze that separates the Quantum Sea from reality, and remove the barrier so that the broken snake can return to reality.
But unfortunately, Fang Zheng has now skinned and boned the snake.
So far, everything is going well. The only flaw is that Einstein told Fang Zheng that because of the battle between him and Kevin, the entire quantum ocean is boiling like a kettle. Not to mention finding the coordinates of their world, even opening it again could cause a strong quantum storm.
In this situation, finding the world coordinates is more difficult than finding a way in a sandstorm. Now all we can do is wait for the quantum sea to "cool down naturally" and then start looking again...
Fang Zheng was also helpless about this, but what else could he do? He could only wait patiently... I just hope it doesn't take too long.
Although there are some shortcomings, Fang Zheng and Bronya have gained a lot from this trip.
Needless to say, Bronya obtained the core of the Herrscher of Reason in the Sea of Quantum and possessed the power of the Herrscher of Reason. In addition, she also rescued Walter Yang who was trapped in the Sea of Quantum. This man was very generous. In order to express his gratitude for saving his life, he directly waved his hand and said that he would give Haiyuan City and this place to Fang Zheng and his friends. Not only that, Walter also gave Bronya the core of the Herrscher of Reason that should have belonged to him. From the looks of him, it seems that he intends to give Bronya the position of the leader of Anti-Entropy...
As for Fang Zheng, he also brought out Kallen Kaslana, Yae Sakura and Yae Rin, and simultaneously defeated the snake that was plotting evil ideas in the quantum sea. Although he lost an arm, it was not a big deal for Fang Zheng. If it was just for backup, he could use the shadow to condense one. Besides, when he returned to his original body, wouldn't this no longer be a problem?
For this reason, Fang Zheng specially contacted Theresa and told her, "I brought your mother back..." Theresa almost vomited blood, but after learning that Fang Zheng brought Kallen Kaslana back from the time fragments of five hundred years ago, Theresa was also greatly shocked, and said that she would immediately rush to Haiyuan City to meet this ancestor - in theory, she is a clone of Kallen, and she is indeed related to Kallen by blood, and it seems that they are not much different from mother and daughter.
After talking to Bronya, Fang Zheng returned to the battleship, and then he saw Kallen walking out of Kiana's room.
"Hey, how's it going?"
Looking at Kallen in front of him, Fang Zheng greeted her and asked. According to Mei, Kiana has been looking a little depressed since she regained consciousness. This is understandable. Although it was a conspiracy by that idiot Otto, she was still forcibly awakened to become a Herrscher. Although Fang Zheng slapped the Herrscher of the Void back in time, the collapse effect caused by the awakening of the Herrscher did not disappear.
According to the reports received by the Destiny Organization, the number of areas attacked by Honkai beasts around the world has increased sharply. The infection caused by Honkai has also produced a lot of dead soldiers and Honkai beasts. For Kiana, this is obviously a knot that she cannot untie, so Fang Zheng simply asked Kallen, the ancestor, to have a heart-to-heart with Kiana to see if there is any way to untie Kiana's knot.
"not bad."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Karen smiled slightly and turned to look at the door behind her.
"I see the spirit and will of the Kaslana family in her... It seems that I still have something left in this world."
"That's good."
Hearing Karen's answer, Fang Zheng nodded, and Karen looked at his right hand with some concern.
"Is your right hand... okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Haven't I told you this many times? Why do you all ask this..."
Hearing Karen's question, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. He was so tired of hearing this question. Not to mention Meikan, Eve and the others would ask, Lala, Nana and Mengmeng would also ask, and Kotegawa Yui and Sairenji Haruna would stare at him as if he was a high-level paraplegic patient.
Now Fang Zheng was extremely glad that he had made a shadow-condensed prosthetic limb to fool people. If they saw that his right hand was completely gone, they would probably send him to the ICU as if he was a critically ill patient.
"By the way, how do you feel about this world?"
Fang Zheng was too lazy to dwell on this topic, so he decisively changed the subject, and Karen nodded.
"It feels... very strange. This doesn't seem like my world, but it's very similar to my world. I didn't expect the world to be like this five hundred years later... Well, how should I put it, it feels quite strange."
"Enjoy it, at least..."
“Beep.”
Just as Fang Zheng was speaking, a notification sound rang from his personal terminal. Fang Zheng opened the communication and took a look.
"Well, just in time, your daughter is here."
"Uh... go meet her."
Hearing what Fang Zheng said, Karen's expression seemed a little strange. Before coming to this world, Fang Zheng had told her that Otto had created a lot of clones in order to revive her, but only two survived in the end, and Theresa was adopted by Otto as his granddaughter... Fang Zheng didn't know what Karen was thinking. After all, her childhood sweetheart cloned her and raised her as his granddaughter... This felt really weird.
Kallen had some understanding of cloning. At least she knew that Theresa and she were related by blood, and strictly speaking, they were mother and daughter - so she became even more conflicted.
Then, in such a strange atmosphere, Kallen and Theresa met.
At the beginning, both sides were a little reluctant, but later, Theresa was the first to adjust. After all, she was the Valkyrie of destiny, and she had lived for many years. Although Kallen was strictly her ancestor, in terms of survival time, Theresa was several times longer than Kallen.
After all, the latter is just a girl from five hundred years ago, not an old monster who has lived for five hundred years.
After that, the atmosphere gradually became much more harmonious, and both sides finally relaxed.
Kallen had already heard from Fang Zheng about what Otto had done, as well as the betrayal and revolution of the Mandate, so she asked Theresa to let her join the Mandate organization and fight against Honkai as a Valkyrie again - at the same time, she also hoped to learn more about the tactics of five hundred years later. After all, these might be useful when she returns to her own world in the future.
Theresa naturally welcomed this, but asked Karen to keep her identity secret. Fortunately, although Karen's deeds were widely circulated within the Savior Organization, there were very few people who had actually seen Karen. As long as they said they had the same name, it would not be difficult to hide it.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Theresa turned to Fang Zheng and got to the point.
"Mr. Yuki, I came here this time to ask you for one more favor..."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"What's up?"
"It's about Tianqiong City. We've heard some bad rumors recently..."
