The Crucifixion Cross

Chapter 43. The Herrscher Forger

Su Fei and Yai, who had already left Sixuan Tea House (this is actually the name of a subway station), naturally did not know that Su Fang, who was gentle, elegant, delicate and quiet in their hearts, was actually terrifying like a big devil in the eyes of others...

But it's no wonder, who made Su Fang hide her 'other side' so well?

If it's a deliberate concealment, it's not true, because Su Fang just simply thinks it's unnecessary.

Her full majesty, her arrogance, her one hand covering the sky, and her "queen" posture of dominating the world are all aimed at those restless guys in the school, not for the family to see.

Of course, that's what it said, but in fact, Su Fang didn't really use any means to suppress Shengxiang's students - because there was no need for Su Fang to take action in person.

90.00% of the students in Shengxiangli are rich and noble. These elite children from aristocratic families may have no ability, courage, or strength, but they must not be without vision.

The fact that Bai Yu Su Fei is the next head of the Mishima family is an open secret among the upper class in the Far East. Many high-level government officials know his true identity, and these families that belong to the same sphere of influence as Mishima are even more unnecessary. Having said that, Su Fei is electricity, light, and the only myth in their hearts!

With such a younger brother with a terrifying background, Su Fang, as an elder sister, naturally becomes unattainable - even if Su Fang herself has no such intention at all, those guys who cling to the three islands in order to survive will feel that way. Playing the role of a dog's leg, anyone who dares to offend the majesty of the 'Queen' will be trampled underfoot.

With the acquiescence and cooperation of Mishima's attendants, it is really not difficult to do this kind of trivial matter.

The 'Queen' Su Fang at the top of the pyramid, the high-level dog legs who are willing to go through fire and water for the 'Queen', the low-level dog legs who have a half-knowledge of high-level secrets but know who can mess with who and who can't, plus the last batch of dead or alive. Leg hair that no one cares about - Shengxiang's strict hierarchy has slowly formed in this way.

Absolute dictatorship can be equated with absolute peace in many cases - all those who dare to resist and make trouble are all dead, won't real peace be achieved?

These cruel realities hidden under Shengxiang's peaceful appearance are known only to Shengxiang's students.

Zhenxiang is also a member of Shengxiang, but unfortunately, she is the existence at the bottom of the pyramid—that is, one of those leg hairs that no one cares about whether they live or die.

It stands to reason that she, who was born in a family of prosecutors, should go to school like Asuna and Yusuke, who pursues the elite policy of Takato, but in the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school, she really volunteered to be forcibly changed to Shengxiang.

I really don’t know why my sister did this, but she will never forget that night, the blazing flame in Niijima’s eyes——At that time, I really didn’t know what the flame meant, but after going through so many things Afterwards, she seemed to have a vague understanding...

It is not without the thought of giving up on myself, but in the end I still gritted my teeth and persisted until now.

Although she is still a helpless, humble existence like duckweed, since she has climbed to the position of assistant to the student council president, it means that at least someone has begun to care about her life and death...

The higher the position, the more things you can get in touch with. Coupled with the convenience provided by Persona, gradually, Zhen has a deeper understanding of the terror of the student council president and the darkness behind Shengxiang.

And about half a month ago, the gathering place for fans of "Phantom Thieves of the Heart" - the website "Phantom Thieves Channel" run by a fanatic fan suddenly received an entrustment from Shengxiang.

The content of the entrustment is very simple, and it is no different from the ones that the Phantom Thieves usually receive. To put it bluntly, they are being bullied, despised, and looked down upon, so I want to ask the Phantom Thieves to help those who bully me to 'change their minds' or something... …

The Phantom Thieves received many such commissions every day, but the crux of the matter was that this commission was submitted by Shengxiang's students.

As "righteous thieves" who "eliminate harm for the people" and "punish the strong and help the weak", the members of the Phantom Thieves all attach great importance to this first entrustment from Shengxiang's students—after all, this is the gathering of the most wealthy families My son, the incredible Shengxiang who is highly mysterious in the hearts of the people...

In fact, even if the members of the Phantom Thieves did not tell the "truth" about Su Fang and Shengxiang, they would sneak into Shengxiang's magic palace in the near future-the huge contradiction in Su Fang is just one of the breakthroughs of the Phantom Thieves Well, not even the fuse.

Su Fei and Mei Yi, who had already left the coffee shop, had no idea that Su Fang, who was gentle and elegant in their eyes, had turned into a "prisoner" backup, and was regarded as the focus of attention by the urban legend "Phantom Thieves of Heart" .

However, for 'this story', Su Fei's 'ignorance' is precisely 'necessary' - after all, if Su Fei knows now that someone is going to attack her most beloved sister, then the 'Phantom Thieves of Heart' 'The story will end here...

Whether it's the members of the Phantom Thieves of Heart, or she standing behind the scenes, I still don't want the Phantom Thieves of Heart to come to an end just like this—their "mission" has not been completed yet...

"Confirmation: Target Two has made contact with Joker—"

In a gloomy command room that looked like a villain, a man in glasses in a white coat reported loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, another man with glasses who seemed to be carved out of the same mold as him immediately continued:

"The resonance response has been confirmed! The affinity index 4.0, 4.1, 4.2...is increasing rapidly with the increase of the time we spend together! It is almost exactly the same as the situation a month ago!"

As if some signal had been sounded, after the two men with glasses reported one after another, the gloomy command room was immediately filled with noisy voices one after another:

"The situation of 'Joker' is completely different from that of Target [-]. The Houkai energy response in the body is still within the stable line, and there is no rhythmic response."

"'Skull''s Honkai can respond equally smoothly, but although 'Skull' is mentally stable, the 'CaptainKidd' in his body is the same as the 'Carmen' in 'P·a·nther' and the' in 'Fox'." "Goemon" and "Joan" in the body of "Queen" fell into confusion! This emotional fluctuation curve...is fear! Did those "fake Herrschers" gain new emotions because of the existence of target two? !"

"The only two exceptions are 'Zorro' in 'Morgana' and 'Byron' in 'Elf' - the former is understandable, after all both 'Morgana' and 'Zorro' are completely artificial 'props', But the 'Byron' of 'Elf'... can only be understood as the existence of the 'host' affecting the 'thinking' of the 'false Herrscher'?"

Hearing this, the woman sitting on the 'throne' in the center of the command room like a queen finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Sure enough, as long as I find the right 'host', even the 'Hengkai' will be used by me..."

Chapter 44. The Path Chosen - Cocolia

In the eyes of the vast majority of people who study Honkai, Herrscher is an existence similar to "God's Apostle".

They were born from the Houkai and resided in the bodies of mortals. They are the sharpest minions of the "Honkai Will" and the most powerful opponents of human beings when they fight against the Houkai.

According to the records of the last era, the total number of Herrschers should be between fourteen and fifteen—the reason for saying this is because the human race in the last era was destroyed by No.14 Herrscher, so no one can be sure After the No.14 Herrscher, will No.15 be born?

The birth of a Herrscher needs to meet two necessary conditions - first, one in a million qualified people who have the qualifications to become a Herrscher, and second, a sufficiently powerful Houkai reaction.

When these two conditions are met at the same time, the Herrscher who is the "Apostle of God" will enter the nascent stage.

However, this is not to say that human beings have no enemies other than the Houkai Beast, the dead soldiers who have been eroded by the Houkai and lost their self-awareness, and the strongest Herrscher.

In fact, before the dead warrior and the Herrscher, there is another kind of ambiguous existence dissociated between the two—the pseudo-herrscher.

The biggest difference between the Herrscher and the Herrscher is that although the strength of the Herrscher is far superior to that of the dead, and even reaches the level infinitely close to that of the Herrscher, there is no Herrscher in the body of the Herrscher. core.

From a certain point of view, the Herrscher's core is the Herrscher's 'identity card', or 'class brand'.

The genuine Herrscher with the core of Herrscher in his body possesses a powerful sequence ability, and also has the power to command the collapse, and belongs to the "lord class", while the pseudo-herrscher is similar to a "knight".

For Mishima, there is no difference between Herrscher and Mimic Herrscher, because they are enemies that must be eliminated, and it is the long-cherished wish of this family to completely destroy Honkai.

For Destiny—no, for Otto, the Herrscher and the Herrscher-like are excellent research materials, because all his purposes need to be realized through the Herrscher and Herrscher Core.

For the anti-entropy conservatives headed by Einstein and Tesla, the Herrscher—to be precise, the core of the Herrscher within the Herrscher—is an indispensable and important element on the road to the 'end'. 'Props'.

However, for Cocolia, the leader of the anti-entropy radicals, the existence of the Herrscher is somewhat different.

She neither regards Herrscher as her enemy like Mishima, nor simply regards Herrscher as a prop like Otto and Einstein.

In Cocolia's eyes, the Herrscher can actually become a "symbiont" of human beings.

If Mishima's purpose is to exterminate the Houkai, and Otto's purpose is to control the Houkai, then Cocolia's purpose is to coexist with the Houkai and transform human beings into a part of the Houkai.

What is there to say?

If you can't defeat your enemy, find a way to become part of the enemy—

Cocolia, who has obtained a lot of research data from the previous era by relying on the power of the bear government, knows very well that with human power, it is almost impossible to fundamentally defeat Houkai, because Houkai is no longer as simple as a simple material existence, but It's some kind of 'concept' - there are always ways to defeat the enemy in reality, but the existence of 'concept' level is not a field that human beings can touch now.

Mishima is just a group of brainless reckless men, if not for Mei, he would be considered as Mishima's family, Cocolia didn't even bother to pay attention to this family whose mind was only fighting and killing.

The Archbishop of Destiny, Otto, was so focused on using Honkai to revive his little lover that he didn't care about the impact Honkai would have on human society.

Although the "Moonlight Throne" plan by Einstein and the others (Kokolia had been cold for decades when Cocolia was born) sounded beautiful, in fact no one knew about the super power on board the "Moonlight Throne". Can the Houkai Reactor convert all the Houkai on the entire planet into material energy?

In other words, at least in Cocolia's eyes, none of the three major forces' attitudes and methods towards Honkai are reliable!

Instead of entrusting the fate of mankind to these guys who are either brainless or too brainy, it is better to get rid of these pig teammates and go it alone-this is the truest thought in Cocolia's heart.

She knows that it is impossible for human beings to fundamentally defeat Honkai, and it is even more impossible to flatten and round Honkai as her own slave. Now Otto looks very powerful, as if everything happened at the same time. He seems to be in control, but don't forget, where did Otto's ability and Tianming's technical strength come from?It was passed down from the Moth Chasing the Flame, so what about the Moth Chasing the Flame?I'm sorry, the Flaming Moth was wiped out by Houkai as early as 5000 years ago...

Cocolia is sometimes very curious, where does an organization that relies on the inheritance of the flame-chasing moth come from to have the confidence to control the Honkai that destroyed the flame-chasing moth?

Is his brain burned out, or is it that Otto actually doesn't care about human beings or civilized or uncivilized at all, and there is nothing left in his world except Karen Kaslana?

Well, no matter what the answer is, Cocolia's attitude towards Otto will not change - this guy's level of unreliability is the same as that of Mishima who only thinks about fighting and killing!

Rather than just sit and watch Mishima rushing forward towards an impossible goal like a silly X, and let Otto ignore human society for his own purposes, Cocolia felt that it was better to go his own way. Spectrum.

The so-called "one's own way" is to combine human beings with Honkai, making human beings a part of Honkai.

Cocolia doesn't think this is an incredible thing, because there are already examples in the real world-the Herrscher!

Although the Herrschers are the minions of the "God" and were born in Houkai, their existence has to rely on the bodies of mortals. From the perspective of consequentialism, this is indeed the best way for human beings to coexist with Houkai. case.

Although most of the mortals as the host will be completely replaced by the Herrscher consciousness after the real awakening of the Herrscher consciousness, the research data shows that before the activity of the Herrscher in the host body reaches a certain critical value, the Herrscher consciousness will not actually Strong hostility towards the host's personality will only try to induce the dark side of the host's heart.

Thus, a crazy idea appeared in Cocolia's mind—since the Herrscher's consciousness achieves the purpose of occupying the host's body and being born as a full-body Herrscher by inducing the dark side in the host's heart, then... If If the Honkai energy activity in the host has been suppressed within a certain range, so that the consciousness of the Herrscher cannot develop the idea of ​​​​replacing the host, will it be possible to realize the relationship between the host and the Herrscher——the relationship between humans and the Honkai? Coexistence?

Taking it a step further...

Since Herrscher's consciousness can affect the thinking of the host, conversely, can the thinking of the host also affect the consciousness of the Herrscher?Is it possible to make the consciousness of the Herrscher, which is supposed to destroy human beings, abandon Honkai and stand on the side of human beings?

The final result of this series of thinking is Project·Persona—referred to as P·P's collapsed symbiosis plan.

In the Phantom Thieves of Heart group, the herrscher consciousness that was artificially injected into the Houkai together with the "specific scene"—or, "fake Herrscher"—was endowed with "Persona" in the P·P project collectively.

It is not to eliminate the Houkai, nor is it to ignore the danger of the Houkai and just use it as a tool, but to become a part of the Houkai, live with the Houkai, and move towards a new "on the premise of survival" Possibilities' stride...

This is the path Cocolia chose.

Hua Ling's words: The description of Cocolia in Honkai 3 is really pitiful, and I am not a player of Honkai 2, so this chapter may be different from the original plot, please forgive me.

Chapter 45. The Path Chosen - Cocolia

To achieve this goal, Sentu Kiryu, a genius physicist from the previous era... No, Mei's power is necessary.

After all, even Cocolia, who regards Otto and Mishima as pig teammates, has to admit that although the last era was eventually destroyed, the technical strength of the fire moth is indeed unmatched by the second era of human civilization of.

Even the most powerful Mandate of Heaven dare not say that they have fully analyzed the legacy left by Flame Chasing Moth—they still haven’t fully grasped the technology of the God’s Key, and those project materials about the Houkai Warrior also belong to the Unanalyzable categories—not to mention anti-entropy separated from destiny, and Mishima who only thinks about fighting and killing...

As a genius physicist who was regarded as a treasure by Flamemoth in the previous era, and even recruited her into the organization in high school, Mei's existence is no different from Mimir to an ambitious person like Cocolia. The existence of a spring.

It is an exaggeration to say that in the past 5000 years, no one knows better than Mei what kind of existence Honkai is, and no one agrees with Cocolia's concept of "coexisting with Honkai" more than Mei. Because the stigmata and Fu Hua, the Honkai fusion fighter known as the "Immortal", are created by each hand!

In Cocolia's eyes, the paths chosen by herself and Mei are almost exactly the same, except that Mei had to give up the "correct" path due to the harsh environment that the Flame Chasing Moth was in at that time, and instead chose the path leading to the future. Hope is delivered to the next era of human civilization.

In order to guide mankind to the right path, the knowledge of Mei sleeping in Raiden Mei's mind is necessary.

All her conspiracies against the Raiden family are for this purpose-whether it is ordering the artificial man "Kevin Kaslana" to attack Mishima ten years ago, or letting Raiden Ryoma willingly enter the prison a month ago, All of this is to awaken Mei's memory that has been sealed for more than 5000 years.

The most direct way to awaken this memory is naturally to collapse.

The incident ten years ago was the pavement for Cocolia.

Project Persona and the "Fake Herrscher" in the members of the Phantom Thieves of Heart are the first step towards a correct future.

Relying on the emotional fluctuations caused by specific scenes, the members of Phantom Thieves of Heart successfully awakened Persona and became what they called 'Persona Contractors'.

Judging from the current situation, although these "fake Herrschers" code-named Persona still represent the dark side of the host's heart—that is, the "other self" in the mouth of the members of the Phantom Thieves, they have not yet affected the host. Hostility, not even a clear sense of 'self'.

The situation of Yuki Asuna, the last member of the Phantom Thieves 'Elf', is even more special.

While the fake herrschers in other members are afraid of Baiyu Sufei, who is suspected of being in a high position, the 'Byron' in the 'Elf' is different.

The monitored emotional curve showed that, instead of having strong hostility or fear towards Su Fei, 'Byron' revealed an indescribable intimacy...

Considering the close relationship between 'Elf' and target two Bai Yu Su Fei, Cocolia can draw the conclusion that 'Under certain conditions, the host's thinking can indeed affect the Herrscher's consciousness', otherwise why other All Persona panicked because of the existence of Bai Yu Su Fei, only 'Byron' was an exception?

This unexpected surprise made Cocolia very satisfied.

Coincidentally, now the P.P project has successfully entered the second stage—the members of the Phantom Thieves of Heart finally set their sights on Bai Yu Su Fang under her secret guidance.

In the process of "raiding" Bai Yu Su Fang, they will inevitably have conflicts with Bai Yu Su Fei, an extremely special existence, and what Cocolia is looking forward to is the reaction of the Persona when they face Bai Yu Su Fei— —Will these artificially generated 'fake herrschers' stand firmly on the side of the host when the host conflicts with Baiyu Su Fei, or follow the collapsed pyramid law and defect to Su Fei without hesitation— — Defected to the side of the collapse?

Cocolia is looking forward to the selection of Persona.

……

When Su Fei and Mei came to Gaoteng by bicycle, it was already eleven thirty at noon.

Although they took a shortcut, the two of them still spent a lot of time in the coffee shop, so they unfortunately missed the lunch carefully prepared by Su Fang, so they could only make do with it in the school cafeteria.

After calling Su Fang to tell Su Fang about the situation here, although she was still a little bit dissatisfied, Su Fang, who is gentle by nature, forgave Su Fei and Mei Yi for missing the appointment, and sneered in front of Qiyana's eyes. He asked, "I won't be back at noon... What about tonight? Do I need to prepare dinner or supper for you? Or... I don't even need to prepare new bedding?"—By the way, Su Fei would think This sentence was asked in front of Kiyana, because when Su Fang said this sentence, the BGM was Kazumi Mishima's joyful laughter.

The innocent Kiyana certainly wouldn't know what Su Fang's teasing meant, but Kazumi Mishima, as a person who has experienced it, how could she not understand?Hearing Su Fang making such a joke in front of Kiyana at this time, Mishima Kazumi almost fainted from laughter.

Su Fei and Ya Yi were dying of embarrassment, and Su Fang didn't give them a chance to explain. She hung up the phone after saying a few words, leaving Su Fei in a daze staring at the phone that hadn't heard any more.

After looking at each other for a while, both of them shook their heads helplessly and smiled wryly.

However, although Su Fei knew that Yai knew that Su Fang was probably joking (this is really a mouthful), but what should be explained still had to be explained, otherwise wouldn't it be like two siblings playing hooligans together?

"Well, Su Fang's words are all jokes, don't take it too seriously," Su Fei coughed lightly, and explained, "You also know that Su Fang has liked to use such topics to make fun of me since she was a child, so..."

Before Su Fei could finish her words, Yai lightly brushed a strand of black hair hanging from her ear in full of goddess style, and said casually:

"So, is Asuna also one of the targets?"

"Hmmm...!" Su Fei was almost choked to death by Mei Yi's sudden question, because Mei Yi's question just stepped on his Achilles heel - usually Su Fang's favorite person to make fun of is really Asuna , So after hearing Mei Yi's words at this time, the first thought that popped up in Su Fei's mind was, did he tell Mei Yi everything?

The embarrassing thing is that Su Fei not only passed this idea through his mind, he also subconsciously said it directly——

"Could it be that I have told you everything about being a classmate!?"

Shit... was slapped in the face by the official again
