Lyle Collodi and Timido Cute carefully observed the three individuals amidst the eerie atmosphere, especially Timido, who was naturally timid. If there had been a place for her to hide, she might have curled up like a hamster.
"So scary," Timido thought.
She activated the vibration mode directly and cautiously poked Lyle's arm, resulting in Timido jumping up on the spot.
The action of the pink-haired girl broke the surface calmness. Bronya finally came to her senses, but she still didn't put down the firearm in her hand. Her tone softened slightly as she asked, "Who are you people?"
"Don't be so nervous, Miss Bronya. We are reinforcements... My name is Luo Lin, a B-rank Valkyrie from the Destiny Logistics Intelligence Department. This communicator belongs to your team member, Carole. She's currently hiding with Adam and Raiden Mei in a temporary base..."
On the side, Himiko Murata crossed her arms and casually replied, "Himiko Murata, A-rank Valkyrie of St. Freya... Hmm, I just arrived here, so I'm not very clear on what's going on."
"Just arrived... what does that mean?" Bronya was somewhat puzzled.
"You can take a look at this, directly call Adam's phone and try to contact them."
Luo Lin held up the communicator with stickers in her hand and threw it to Lyle Collodi standing beside her.
Lyle caught the communicator in mid-air and then skillfully operated it. After about ten seconds, the communicator projected a blurry image into the air, and the silver-haired girl grabbed Adam's communicator, exclaiming with joy, "Wow, there are more reinforcements!"
However, the communication link seemed to be severely disturbed, with interference noise making people feel uneasy, and the image kept fluctuating, giving a sense of imminent danger.
Carole on the other end seemed to realize this too. While the link had not been interrupted yet, she quickly recited a string of numbers, apparently the code for this operation, which finally eased Bronya's furrowed brows.
"We're at the temporary base in Tulip Alley, where there are still two wounded who can't move... Huh, Captain Mei!?"
"Bronya, I'm fine... The signal is unstable, let's regroup first and then talk."
Seeing the struggling purple figure in the communication, Adult Bronya felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if there was another person inside her muttering something—
Mei... why is there Mei here too? Shouldn't she be in the World Serpent... something's not right—she's injured! I need to help her quickly!
Adult Bronya finally put down her weapon and then said somewhat anxiously, "Miss Luo Lin, please lead the way..."
"Follow me..."
Luo Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Adult Bronya, a mysterious feeling rising in her heart.
Although she hadn't plunged headlong into St. Freya Academy and mingled with the protagonist group like other transmigrators, she had at least seen all the "Big Three of Honkai" from Honkai Impact 3rd, right?
It's just that the forms she saw were a bit different.
Little Kiana Kaslana, Little Bianka, APHO Raiden Mei, APHO Bronya, and the Teacher Himiko... Oh no, following this trend, will she also see little Otto and little Kevin? That wouldn't be good!
As Luo Lin led the way while her mind was filled with various thoughts, Hyperion's team, relying on the Gnius device in Adult Bronya's hand to observe the situation here, was also bustling with activity.
Kiana had learned from the time-space projection that there was Murata Himiko in this world, so she was mentally prepared.
But when she saw the pale-faced Raiden Mei in the communicator, who seemed to be seriously injured, she jumped up from her chair!
"Mei! Mei is injured!"
"Kiana, that's not your Mei! Besides, Bronya is on her way to help her! Calm down!"
Fu Hua held back the emotionally charged Kiana, who struggled a few times before sitting back down with a somewhat despondent look.
"It's been so long since I last saw Mei... I miss her, and I miss the meals she cooks."
With Kiana's shout, Tesla didn't know what was going on and howled along with her. She pointed to the data she had collected and said with a tone that couldn't tell if it was excitement or pain, "Is this reasonable?! How did it do that?"
"What thing?" Everyone was puzzled.
Dr. Einstein wasn't much better off. Her face was twisted into a pretzel, showing how conflicted she was. You could tell at a glance that she was in a dilemma.
"The thing they're carrying on them is similar to the ring. Have you seen it? That thing is a miniaturized Honkai energy conversion device—equivalent to a miniature Selene!"
Everyone present was a frontline warrior against the Honkai, so none of them had a hard time understanding. After Dr. Einstein mentioned the "Selene," almost everyone's eyes lit up.
The atmosphere in Hyperion's war room became restless, and Fu Hua calmly raised her own question, "Dr. Einstein, sorry to interrupt, but is this kind of technology possible?"
"Rather, this is something we've been researching at Anti-Entropy!" Tesla tugged at her ponytail.
Fu Hua followed up with a second question, "Doctor, are the technologies in the Bubble World real? Or, if the technologies from the Bubble World were brought into reality, could they still function normally?"
"...I don't know."
The red-haired double ponytailed doctor slumped onto the table, responding with a heavy tone, "I'm so conflicted precisely because I don't know... According to our current definition of the Bubble World, they have almost infinite possibilities. You might even see a Bubble World where Honkai beasts and ordinary people live together harmoniously..."
"I have no idea how the internal structure of this small device works, nor do I know if it can function in reality... If Bronya can use the power of the Herrscher to record the internal structure of that device. When she returns with the data, we can try to manufacture it and see..."
Tesla bit her lip, saying helplessly, "But Bronya's current state is also strange. Although we can confirm her presence through the Gnius device, no matter how we call her, she doesn't respond..."
Suddenly, Seele raised her head, and a hint of red flashed in her eyes, "Seele wants to try, to see if Seele can awaken Sister Bronya!"
Dr. Einstein handed the communicator to Seele, "Here, go ahead and try boldly. At this point, only you and Bronya's bond can do anything! We'll continue to collect data and see if there are other ways to contact Bronya..."
Seele sat back in her chair, holding the communicator in her hands, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the screen, softly calling out, "Sister Bronya, Sister Bronya, wake up quickly..."
Sister Bronya...
Wake up quickly... Seele is still waiting for you to come back...
Adult Bronya, who was following behind Luo Lin, seemed to hear something and suddenly stopped, looking around.
"Did you find something?" Luo Lin asked.
"...Nothing... Um, probably nothing. Let's go find Mei first."
