"Wow, is this Kevin's subordinate? It seems that Kevin is very lucky with women, always finding beautiful girls as his subordinates!"
Misteln came to the Golden Courtyard. The children observed the visitor with vigilant eyes.
Last time it was Welt. Bronya also took the opportunity to get limited autographed comics from the author.
This time, it seems the visitor was invited by Bronie.
"You are the second deputy of the legendary Flamechasers, right? The Lord is not very lucky with women; we just happen to have the abilities the Lord needs. I, as a member of the World Serpent, am the key to launching Project Stigma."
Faced with Elysia's enthusiasm, Misteln looked a little restrained. After all, in the minds of the World Snake members, the Flamechasers were like a god.
Misteln was even more special. She was a unique life form born in the Stigmata, from the memories of others.
Having all these memories, experiences, and stories, she had almost touched the threshold of becoming a memetic life form.
This could be regarded as Mobius's masterpiece. Mobius formulated Project Stigma. Now that it had developed to this point, it might indeed be possible to defeat Finality.
"Capture dreams, integrate dreams, and finally use dreams to weave a huge net to isolate the impact of the Honkai, right? Mobius said that the ideal form born from the stigmata does have this ability. Seele occasionally plays with another self in dreams. This is exactly what I need."
"Then why not let that child do it?"
"Because although Black Seele was also born from Seele's stigmata, she was born when Seele was a child, which means that she did not have the experience and knowledge accumulated by Schariac for hundreds of years. Strictly speaking, some unknown changes occurred in Seele's body, resulting in the stigmata and the birth of the ideal form."
"I see, but when I heard this news, I was really happy. I searched all over the world for stigmata awakeners and my kind, but I didn't expect that in a corner of the world, someone like me had already been born."
As she said this, Misteln set her eyes on Seele not far away. Seele shrank behind Bronya in fear, while Bronya looked at Misteln with curious eyes.
This woman... is not simple!
Bronya made such a judgment in her heart.
At a glance, she could tell that the other party must have had some complicated experiences.
When Misteln saw Bronie, she was also surprised for a moment, and after seeing Bronya, she couldn't sit still.
"This is just luck. Have you read the file Kevin sent you? If you have any questions, it's better to tell me in advance. You will need to live in the Golden Courtyard temporarily. In April next year, if everything goes well, you may have a chance to rest."
"This task is really arduous, but since the original plan of the World Serpent is to start the real Project Stigma, starting Project Stigma in some areas is not a big problem for us. There is just one thing I don't understand, and that is, why do you want to bring Hua in?"
"Because I want to help her fix her brain. Fenghuang Down can control their dreams to some extent to achieve a GM-like effect."
What Bronie needs is authority, some special authority in dreams. After hearing Bronie's answer, Misteln suddenly realized.
"Please guide me in the days ahead. I am actually very interested in the children here."
"Is that Bronya? Come here, Bronya, and see if this Misteln looks familiar."
"Bronya doesn't recognize this face in her memory~"
Bronya came forward, took a quick look at Misteln, and shook her head to indicate that she had no memory at all.
"Of course, I have only seen your mother before... Alexandra. After the Second Eruption, she had the possibility of awakening her stigmata, but between awakening the stigmata and saving your life, she chose to save your life."
Hearing what Misteln said, Bronya widened her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief.
"Bronya has never heard of this..."
"This is your biological mother's decision. She chose to continue your life with a beautiful expectation for your future. Because of this, you must not waste your life, although I don't think you will."
Bronie touched Bronya's head and glared at Misteln fiercely.
Although Bronie also knew about this kind of thing, if she told Bronya, maybe one day Bronya would not be able to figure it out and think that it was because of her that Alexandra died, then she would regret it and be depressed for the rest of her life.
So Bronie never planned to say this kind of thing, nor did she plan to say it directly.
Maybe when Bronya grows up and matures psychologically, she will say it?
But Misteln said it directly,ñ. Bronya is only a thirteen-year-old girl now, how dare she!
Bronie was very unhappy, but she didn't show it directly, but tried to comfort Bronya's heart.
"Thank you very much, Miss Misteln, for telling Bronya about this. Bronya is indeed a good child who cherishes herself. However, if her family is threatened, Bronya will ruthlessly destroy the other party. Will you be the kind of enemy of Bronya?"
Bronya instantly judged the intention of Misteln's words, which was a bit malicious.
After all, Bronya also saw that Bronie was worried about her, which means that Misteln was not only talking about her own affairs, but also trying to hurt Sister Bronie!
Using Bronie's concern for herself...
"I'm sorry, my words may make you feel a little unhappy, but Alexandra has had a huge impact on me, so I want to recognize you."
"The madman who keeps looking for death that Raven mentioned before, is it you?"
Bronie asked. Although she heard Raven say this at the time, she just glossed over it. But Bronie obviously thought of this immediately.
"Perhaps it's because the previous generation just told Miss Raven about this. Yes, I was not in a good state at that time and I was like a source of disaster. For the happiness of others, I once thought about constantly destroying myself, but unfortunately, I failed in the end."
"The blood of Schariac is indeed very magical. If it is studied, a serum that can remove the erosion of the body's Honkai energy can be made. However, how you want to pursue the meaning of your life has nothing to do with me. I only have one request, that is, don't mess with me and the children of the Golden Courtyard."
"Okay, okay, Bronie, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so harsh on Miss Misteln? You should also be tolerant of beautiful girls..."
Elysia have never seen Bronie have such a big reaction, but when she saw Misteln for the first time, Elysia did have a strange feeling.
It's like...
Misteln doesn't intend to treat herself as a human being at all. Her values are very different from those of humans.
"Maybe. Don't think of Misteln as an adult. Strictly speaking, she is only about thirteen years old. The moment Cecilia Schariac died was the moment she was born. She is the product of Project Stigma. She may have a very big deviation from humans in terms of concepts. If you are not careful..."
"Miss Bronie is right to be wary of me. My face has brought too much beauty to the world, but I have brought many disasters to Siberia. I am also sad about this. There is still a lot of confusion in my heart, and I may become a very dangerous person in various senses, such as someone like Nagito Komaeda."
"You see, I said that this kind of ideal born from other people's memories knows everything, but knows nothing. They are often easy to get stuck in a dead end. They're simply the most dangerous person in the world."
But it's because she's that dangerous person that made it possible to save everyone's life in Nagazora City when the Honkai breaks out.
To be honest, Bronie thinks it is better to have less contact with Hare.
After all, it is possible for her to spy on her thoughts through dream manipulation.
There is no guilt in her heart!
"I'm sorry, I'm not human, so the most dangerous person should be left to Lord Kevin. But you are right, I tend to fall into thinking about certain things. I may not understand the good and evil of human beings."
Of course. After Project Stigma is completed, all human dreams are intertwined, people no longer have any secrets, all information is gathered together, and in the end, even the concept of self will dissipate.
And the life forms born in these story collections are also unable to distinguish between the good and evil of humans, do they cannot have any empathy for others.
"So that's the case... Miss Misteln, can you make an agreement with everyone?"
Elysia probably understood what Bronie was thinking, so she came to Misteln and looked at her.
Looking at Elysia's attitude, Misteln was also shocked, but an agreement... It's not impossible to do it.
"You speak."
"That is, no matter what, don't enter Bronie's dream and don't explore Bronie's thoughts. Of course, if you really want to do it, it's best to get Bronie's consent!"
"Although I don't know what's wrong with exchanging all my thoughts and memories with others, if Bronie doesn't want to face this situation, I can make a promise."
"Secrets make women more attractive~ Bronie has many little secrets in her heart. If you can build a good relationship with her, you can get the answers without that method! In fact, Bronie usually behaves very strongly, but if you look at her with a cute and aggrieved look and beg her, she will consider agreeing to anything!"
"Is that the legendary hypocrisy?"
Misteln also got to know Bronie again in her heart.
"Hehe, actually Bronie has a lot of little ideas in her mind, but thanks to Bronie's rich imagination, so many games have come out. Have you played it?"
"Well... Undertale is really impressive. My choices have brought different endings to the entire underground world, and it has also given me a lot of inspiration. It's just that the game made by Bronie, Getting Over It, has brought me too much confusion."
"Look, don't we have a common topic here? Bronie will definitely not refuse topics related to games!"
Well, maybe she saw her past shadow in Misteln. Although she knew what species she was, she couldn't find the meaning of life.
To some extent, Elysia and Misteln in the past were indeed very similar.
So Elysia was so enthusiastic.
"Well... you can talk about games, but be careful not to forget about work. The lives of millions of people in Nagazora City are in your and my hands. If we fail, countless lives will disappear before our eyes. Of course, you can do nothing. If the Eruption breaks out after that, all the responsibility will not be on you."
But if you do this, what is the difference between spreading Honkai in Siberia?
Misteln could hear Bronie's subtext and the other party's vigilance against her, but trust is like building a house, slowly built up from bricks and tiles.
It's just that Bronie's trust in her may be a little low at the beginning.
Thinking carefully, it's probably because of her own problem.
She should have known not to touch Bronie's sore spot earlier. Obviously, she just thought of Alexandra out of inspiration.
But now seeing Bronya's distracted look, Misteln also realized that she seemed a little rude.
Perhaps, for a child, saying this kind of thing is really a big blow to her.
As an ideal form born from the stigmata, it possesses the wisdom, knowledge, cognition, and even combat experience of Schariac.
Bronie thought that she should also have experience in raising children, right?
Knowing that it was evil, she still did evil.
No wonder Bronie was not in a good mood.
'I am really a bad person...'
Thinking of this, Misteln smiled helplessly.
She didn't expect that Bronie understood the existence of the ideal form better than she did, but she didn't react and accidentally stepped on Bronie's landmine.
In this case, maybe talking to Bronie about the topic of games can at least slowly rebuild that trust?
"So Miss Bronie, while Dying Light was a huge success this time, it also opened up the pursuit of the game content theme of 'freedom' for game producers. So what kind of game do you want to make next time?"
"Freedom... Is this your understanding of Dying Light?"
"Yes, running freely between high-rise buildings, doing whatever you want in an environment of social collapse, isn't this freedom? Moreover, the city is huge, there are many things to do, and you can even rob Rais' Gang. Players can do almost everything they can think of, and there are even free combinations of weapons."
"Although what you said is not wrong, this kind of freedom that restricts creativity is not what I want. If you really want to pursue true freedom, then the creativity of players should not be restricted."
"Oh? Creativity? If a game allows players to rely on their own creativity to achieve it, what kind of game would it be?"
"Well... When you said that, I actually have an idea."
