Both her pretentious and disgusting demeanor, and her manipulation of Bronya to try and deceive Losia, are utterly repulsive.

Even Otto didn't make her feel this disgusted.

"Would you like something to eat? Cake, or candied apples?"

Cocolia greeted them, and her men brought over a pile of delicate pastries and snacks.

Each of these snacks looked expensive and delicious, but Loshia had no appetite and no desire in her eyes.

"Don't you like it?"

Cocolia frowned. She had investigated all the food that Loshia had bought over the past few months, and Loshia should really like these foods.

"Losia, I know you may be unfamiliar with me and don't trust me yet, but that's okay, we'll get to know each other eventually..."

Do you still remember your mother, Seele?

Looking at the well-behaved girl who had been silent all along, Cocolia finally spoke up.

"Um..."

This was the first time Losia had responded to her.

"You must be wondering where she went, right? I'm sorry, because of one of our experiments, Seele went to a place very far away from us..."

"I really regret it. If only I could have stopped the experiment back then..."

Cocolia defended herself.

In fact, the entire process of the X-10 experiment was not cheap; in fact, it could be described as expensive.

Its entire process is somewhat similar to the original Stigmata Project, which uses high concentrations of Honkai energy to select those who can bear the power of Honkai.

Of course, the consequences are the same; those who cannot bear it will only have one fate.

Cocolia knew very well that Seele was very close to success, or rather, had already succeeded, but she didn't know why her quantum collapse had occurred.

The experiment had reached its final stage, and even if Cocolia wanted to stop, it was too late.

Of course, this didn't stop Cocolia from explaining it to Loshia in this way.

"Over the years, I have never stopped regretting it. Bronya and Seele were my best children, and it pained me to see them separated..."

Despite her own selfish motives, Cocolia genuinely cares about her children, though this concern might seem somewhat morbid to normal people.

Loshia simply watched Cocolia's performance without saying a word.

Even though she has a high regard for everyone, she doesn't really like Cocolia's appearance.

Cocolia seems to always wear a mask of hypocrisy, subtly manipulating others to achieve her own goals.

On one hand, they keep repenting, but on the other hand, they have no awareness whatsoever.

She may have love, but she doesn't understand what "respect" means at all.

"I contacted many people, tried many methods, and even chose to collaborate with some individuals..."

If it weren't for Loshia's existence giving Cocolia hope, she would have already partnered with the World Serpent to travel to the Eye of the Abyss.

Exploring the quantum sea through the Eye of the Abyss may be even more dangerous than the X-10 experiment.

Moreover, the World Serpents have their own agenda; they want to bring something dangerous out of the sea, and Cocolia cannot guarantee that they will help her find Seele after they have achieved their goal.

"But we really have no other choice now..."

Do you think Cocolia is conflicted?

Yes, she was also conflicted, because she couldn't guarantee that completing the experiment would really bring Seele back, but this last remaining hope was already making it impossible for her to remain rational.

She wasn't a scientist with a rational mind; she was simply a mother hoping to bring her daughter back from the sea of ​​quantum mechanics.

Even if the cost of failure is too high.

"I know..."

Seeing that Loshia's expression relaxed, Cocolia continued.

"I hope you can help us complete the X-10 experiment that Seele hasn't finished..."

"Don't...go..."

Upon hearing Cocolia's words, Bronya, who had been expressionless, suddenly began to struggle in pain.

Clearly, Cocolia's words greatly stimulated Bronya's mind, even causing her to lose control.

Cocolia coldly reached out and touched Bronya's shoulder, and Bronya's expression immediately returned to its original indifference.

"Loshia, listen to Cocolia... what your mother says..."

After saying that, Bronya closed her eyes in pain and fainted.

Forcibly controlling the biochip inside her body would severely damage her mental health and might even affect the structure of her brain.

“Loshia, your Bronya mother is tired and needs to rest for a while.”

After controlling Bronya to say her last words, Cocolia knew that Bronya's mission was complete.

Next, she will arrange for Bronya to be moved to a more remote base to allow her some time to calm down.

"If...we could really save Seele's mother..."

The blue-haired girl looked up and met Cocolia's gaze, her expression serious.

“I can participate in the experiment.”

.......

"Your Excellency, should we inform Lady Durandal and Lady Rita?"

The blond boy leaned against the station sign, his blue eyes gleaming with an unknown light.

He had recorded everything about his confrontation with Cocolia, including the situation during this operation, and Amber was also observing him closely.

To be honest, even Amber is now quite aware that His Holiness the Bishop is not in a good mood.

That enforcer of entropy has undoubtedly been proven wrong by Otto this time.

"no need."

Otto said softly.

"Could you please help me adjust my online friend's signal? I'll handle this personally."

Otto originally did not intend to interfere in this matter, since he originally thought it was just an internal conflict within Anti-Entropy and had little to do with him.

Even if we send Loshia to Shenzhou, it won't be a big deal.

But for some reason, Otto is now feeling inexplicably frustrated.

This was the first time in five hundred years that he had felt this way.

Otto was deeply moved by the feeling that he had the strength but nowhere to use it.

He wanted to see if Cocolia's strength was really as formidable as she claimed.

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

This was the first time Amber had seen Otto's expression become so cold.

Otto always had a smiling face, and even when the plan went wrong, he remained calm and unconcerned.

"Was that little guy doing it on purpose?"

Otto recalled Loshia's expression at the time; it was clear she knew a lot, and her decision seemed to have been planned long ago.

"Ugh... this is troublesome. This deal is really..."

Although he said it was troublesome, Otto showed no sign of anxiety.

He was just thinking about what methods he could use to make the executor of entropy pay a small price.

In the past, the only person who could stand up to him was Walter, the leader of Anti-Entropy. Even the scientists of Anti-Entropy were not considered by Otto to be of much value.

In Otto's eyes, the entire Anti-Entropy organizational structure was nothing but a loose mess, and once Walter was gone, this loose mess would soon dissipate on its own.

"Reporting to the bishop, the current signal is coming from a small city about 100 kilometers from the far east coast."

The blond boy put on a dark green hat and jumped off the roof of the station.

"Heh, my little online friend, it seems you still need a little help."

......

after one day

“Miss Bronya, I hope you will not struggle in vain. Lady Cocolia has instructed that if you take any extreme actions, we can take special measures.”

Outside what resembled a special solitary confinement room, a guard opened the door and handed the food inside.

The room was filled with a mist used to paralyze bodily control, specifically designed to target Bronya.

Besides the fog, there are also ten specialized heavy-armored Titans in this base, the kind that Bronya's heavy-armored bunnies can't take down in a short time.

Through the window, Bronya could see everything inside the entire base.

She knew that Cocolia had arranged this to make her give up completely.

Bronya didn't take the food that was handed to her. Instead, she picked up the wine that Cocolia had left behind and poured herself a glass, then another.

Since arriving at St. Freya Academy, Bronya has rarely touched alcohol, but now, every time she drinks, it brings her a different experience.

She began to understand why those Chinese people liked to drown their sorrows in alcohol and raise their cups to the moon...

"Ha ha..."

Bronya held the glass and then drank it all in one gulp.

During the time she was controlled by Cocolia, she retained her own consciousness, but she was completely unable to disobey Cocolia's orders.

Bronya still feels nauseous whenever she thinks about watching herself being used and forced to say those disgusting things.

She resented herself; she should have taken Losia away from the Far East sooner, even if it meant risking being hidden everywhere.
