Chapter 31 Bronya Wants to Go
When Chen Feng stepped into Haiyuan City, he had only one feeling.
magnificent.
This is a magnificent underwater landscape, a landscape belonging to humankind.
Everything here testifies to the brilliance of pre-civilization.
Even so, only a few ruins remain for future generations to admire.
Bronya stood beside him, holding the Heavy Bunny, her gaze sweeping around. She didn't speak, but Chen Feng noticed her grip tighten slightly.
"...Let's go."
Chen Feng strode forward.
Footsteps echoed in the empty hall.
Cocolia stood a short distance away, arms crossed, her gaze fixed on them.
Beside her stood the gray snake, which stood there quietly like a statue, with only the occasional flash of red light in its mechanical eyes proving that it was still alive.
Walter stood on the other side, adjusted his glasses, and glanced back and forth between Chen Feng and Bronya, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Ai Yin stood beside him, seemingly calculating something.
"They're here."
Cocolia's gaze fell on the two of them, her expression slightly complicated.
Chen Feng stepped forward and looked at the people beside him. He glanced at them briefly and found that they were the same as he remembered.
This time, however, there's an extra Walter.
"Chen Feng".
Bronya.
The gray snake didn't speak, but stared at Chen Feng with its red mechanical eyes, as if it were looking at an interesting exhibit.
Walter nodded slightly, his voice cool and clear: "Walter, leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance."
"Aiyin".
Ai Yin raised the tablet in her hand as a greeting.
Chen Feng looked at Walter and nodded slightly.
Walter noticed his gaze and immediately realized that the other person had recognized him back in school.
That feeling back then wasn't an illusion.
This surprised Walter, who looked at Cocolia with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"Your people?"
"no."
Cocolia didn't explain further, "I invited him to help."
"help?"
Walter's gaze returned to Chen Feng.
At least for now, the other party doesn't seem to have anything special about them.
Walter wasn't present when the test was conducted at the school, and Theresa and Himeko were keeping a close watch on this power. For more than a year, Chen Feng basically didn't show his power in the public eye.
Walter's doubts are understandable.
As Walter was puzzled, Gray Serpent suddenly spoke, its mechanical voice sounding somewhat jarring in the empty hall.
"Is it him?"
Cocolia did not answer.
Gray Serpent didn't care. He tilted his head, his mechanical eyes flashing. "You say he can replace the Gem of Desire, but I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
Cocolia was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Feng.
"Show them."
Chen Feng did not hesitate.
He stretched out his hand, palm facing up.
Golden light shone from his palm, like a flame compressed to its limit.
Pure golden light shone on everyone's face.
After sensing this power, everyone became serious, their eyes filled with curiosity, doubt, and solemnity.
Walter narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to push up his glasses, as if to hide his shock.
After sensing this power, Ai Yin was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up, and she began to lower her head and think frantically.
The frequency of the red light flashing in the gray snake's mechanical eyes changed.
He stared at the golden light for a long time without moving.
"……interesting."
He finally spoke, his mechanical voice carrying an indescribable emotion.
At least he was satisfied.
"I have seen Honkai energy, I have seen quantum mechanics, I have seen almost every known form of energy in this world."
He paused.
"But I don't recognize this thing in your hand."
After Chen Feng saw that the demonstration was almost complete, he withdrew the golden light and stood silently staring at the gray snake.
The gray snake stared at his hand for a few seconds, then slowly spoke.
"Yes, your demonstration has convinced me that you can open the passage for the Gem of Desire."
Walter withdrew his gaze, looked at Cocolia, and spoke calmly.
"I want to talk to him after this is over."
Cocolia glanced at him. "Then ask him for his opinion. We're just business partners."
The gray snake seemed to smile, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned and walked deeper into the area.
"Follow me, the passage is here."
Chen Feng and Bronya exchanged a glance and followed.
Walter and Ein walked at the very back, while Cocolia walked beside Chen Feng, her pace seemingly a little faster than usual.
At the end of the passage was a huge circular platform.
At the center of the platform, the seawater is isolated by some force, forming a transparent dome.
Beyond the dome lies endless darkness, the entrance to the Sea of Quanta.
The gray snake stopped and pointed to the center of the platform.
"Right here."
Chen Feng walked to the edge of the platform and looked down.
Darkness, endless darkness.
He couldn't sense any fluctuations in Honkai energy, but he could sense what kind of scenery lay beneath it.
The Sea of Quanta.
He took a deep breath and reached out his hand.
The golden light shone again, this time even brighter than before.
Light emanated from his palm, like a golden river, flowing into the darkness at the center of the platform.
The passageway began to loosen.
The seawater began to churn, and the light on the dome flickered.
Chen Feng did not stop.
He continued to release golden light until the entire passage began to tremble, which in turn caused the entire city of Haiyuan to tremble, at which point he released his grip and withdrew his power.
He took a deep breath, and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The power required to open the Sea of Quanta is somewhat beyond expectations, but it is still within a manageable range.
He took a breath and then nodded under the expectant gazes of everyone.
"It can be opened, but there are conditions."
"What are the conditions?"
"The passage to the Sea of Quanta is very complex. With my current capabilities, I can only ensure the safe passage of two people without them being attacked. Any more than that and the passage risks collapsing at any time."
After he finished speaking, the people present did not frown or think, but nodded in agreement.
This was beyond their expectations.
"In that case, I'll go."
Walter stepped forward.
Although he was reluctant to open the quantum channel, he thought it might be better for him to go in himself rather than let others in.
Moreover, if Cocolia doesn't bring Seele out this time, she won't let it go.
Gray Serpent and Cocolia did not stop Walter from volunteering; on the contrary, they were happy to see this scene.
However, in that case, the second candidate would need to be chosen from among them.
In the silence, Bronya slowly walked out from behind the crowd and came to Welt's side, looking firmly at Chen Feng and Cocolia.
"The second person, Bronya, wants to go."
