In Honkai with Tom Cat

Li Huan fetched a stool and some rope from the storage room and instructed Kiana and Mei to tie up Bronya.

"Alright, young lady, it's time to settle the score."

Li Huan took a chair and arrogantly sat across from Bronya, crossing his legs and facing her. "Regarding you attacking my cat and then attacking me, do you have anything to say?"

Bronya remained silent, her expression and gaze as cold as ever, responding to Li Huan with silent defiance: no, she had nothing to say.

"Do you understand what you've done?"

Li Huan's voice suddenly rose several decibels. "Do you understand!!!!!!"

He said this while mercilessly poking Bronya's face with his finger.

"Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to severity. Spill your name, age, address, education, and the reason why you suddenly attacked us."

He acted like a police officer from a Japanese crime drama interrogating a suspect, the only difference being… he didn't use food to coerce her.

"You'd better speak honestly, or… I'll give you a reason you can't refuse."

Listening to Li Huan's threatening words, Bronya didn't even flinch, showing no fear.

Seeing Bronya's demeanor, Li Huan put down his flashlight.

"Alright, miss." Li Huan shrugged. "You are indeed very resolute… I like that."

"So, I'm curious, would you be interested in joining us?"

"Eh?" "What?"

Li Huan hadn't finished speaking when Kiana and Mei both expressed surprise.

"Hey, are you out of your mind?" Kiana had said this several times today: "That person tried to kill us."

"Even though this kid looks young, she was definitely hostile from the start…" Mei, with her relatively kind nature, frowned. "Isn't it a bit strange to invite someone like this to join us?"

"Well, you both make a good point." Li Huan put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs. "But to be honest, I don't really care about her motives."

After all, I know.

"After we escape from Thousand Feathers Academy, we'll need to flee Nagazora City next."

Li Huan explained patiently, "Honestly, I have no idea what the situation in Nagazora City is like or what might be there… now that we have a potential combat asset we can consider, of course, I want to try and recruit her."

Li Huan pointed to the Project Bunny. "Look, the so-called Project Bunny, whose name is completely opposite to its ferocity, if we have it helping us, things will be much easier."

Kiana looked at Li Huan skeptically. "But are you sure she will help us? Unlike Mei-senpai, she was an enemy from the start…"

"Don't worry about that."

Li Huan interrupted. "As I said before, just give her a reason she can't refuse."

"How are you going to do that…"

Kiana found it hard to imagine what kind of reason Li Huan could give that would be impossible to refuse.

"Oh, that's simple."

Li Huan didn't even notice the sinister smile that appeared on his lips. "Everyone has something important to them… once someone else has control over it, it becomes a reason they can't refuse. That's what a reason you can't refuse is."

"Anyway, you two just wait and see, I'll show you how to handle this…"

Li Huan turned back to Bronya. "So, young lady, have you made up your mind?"

Although Bronya had no idea what the "reason you can't refuse" was, she chose to express her stance with silence: you're dreaming.

"Well, a steadfast and unyielding virgin heroine," Li Huan was not surprised. "In that case, let me prepare the show I have for you."

Li Huan stood up, took out a Dream Hammer, and said, "But before that, you should get a good sleep."

Without waiting for Bronya's reaction, he raised the hammer and, with enough force to crush a person's head, swung it mercilessly at Bronya.

Duang~~~

With a star effect and a large bump rising, Bronya fell to the ground.

"Watch over her, I'll go prepare."

After this brutal act, Li Huan put away the hammer and turned to leave.

"Scary… what he just did,"

Mei, looking at Li Huan's retreating figure, was a bit scared. "I thought he was going to kill someone."

Kiana checked Bronya's pulse and shook her head. "She's fine, heartbeat and pulse are normal, she just passed out…"

"Speaking of which, that hammer, I noticed on the way here, he only uses it on heads. Those hit by it, like her, will just lose consciousness and not be killed."

Hearing this, Mei showed a subtle expression. "This guy is really strange, with a terrifyingly mysterious cat and a hammer that only makes people dizzy but doesn't kill… He really makes one curious about who he really is."

"He said he's just an ordinary janitor who started today. Do you believe that? I don't."

After Kiana said this, she turned her attention back to Bronya. "But I might have an idea of who she is."

Kiana looked at Bronya with a very certain tone. "I've heard from my old man… there's an organization that prides itself on advanced technology and opposes Destiny… If I'm not mistaken, this girl must be from Anti-Entropy!"

On the other side, Li Huan found the remaining buses and discovered that only one was still operational; the others had been destroyed in the fight with Bronya.

"I'll remember this grudge… No, it doesn't matter if I remember it. I'll get my revenge soon."

Li Huan got out of the only working bus and walked over to the Project Bunny.

At this moment, the Project Bunny was still stuck to the wall by the magnet, but its terrifying head was staring at Li Huan as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

"Alright, big guy, I know you're resentful because I was harsh on your master, but you'd better worry about yourself first."

As Li Huan spoke, Tom came from the storage room with a large box of tools.

The box contained hammers, nails, drills, saws, and other construction equipment.

"What? You're wondering how the Project Bunny got stuck without Tom being around?"

It's simple; just stick the magnet to the wall, and as long as it sticks to something, the magnet won't fall off even if you don't hold it.

At least, that's how Tom thought.

Tom dropped the box on the ground, dusted off his paws, then picked up a saw and put on safety goggles.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

An evil smile spread across Tom's face as he started up the saw, aiming it at the Project Bunny.

At this moment, Tom's appearance and demeanor were just like those of a ruthless mad scientist, and Li Huan also wore a matching evil grin.

"Get ready for a new experience, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

The maniacal laughter mixed with the sounds of the saw and drill, and under the sparks, the shadow of the Project Bunny on the wall struggled continuously.
