K424 of the Collapse World

This is an Asian girl about 13 or 4 years old, with black waist-length hair that has not been combed and scattered behind her, and a sleepy look on her delicate face. After she got out of bed, she looked at the clock pointing to 2:10, and her hazy eyes gradually regained clarity.

The girl quickly changed out of her pajamas, folded them neatly and placed them beside the bed, then put on a set of school uniform and socks placed beside her, and adjusted her appearance in front of the mirror. Soon, a cute girl with long straight black hair appeared in the mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the black-haired girl nodded with satisfaction and revealed a gentle smile.

She picked up the backpack hanging on the door, opened the door, and walked out of her room.

Passing through a narrow corridor, the girl went down the wooden spiral staircase and came to the living room on the first floor.

"Hello, father."

The girl came to the living room and suddenly saw the black-haired man sitting on the sofa. A look of surprise flashed across her face, and she leaned slightly towards her father and saluted.

"Well, good afternoon, Mei."

The man responded calmly, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes as he looked at the girl.

"Father, may I ask why you suddenly came home at noon today?"

The girl asked with some confusion. Usually, her father was busy with work and had no time to go home at noon. Only in the afternoon, when she came back from school, would she see this man in the living room.

"Nothing... I just got back too. By the way... Mei, I have some work to do today, so I might have to work overtime tonight. You might have to stay alone today."

"...Yes, it's no problem, Father."

Hearing this, the girl's eyes dimmed slightly, but she hid her disappointment well and said to the man with a smile.

"Eh……?"

Suddenly realizing something, the girl's eyes widened slightly and she looked around in confusion.

"What's wrong, Mei?"

"...No, nothing. It might be my illusion. I always feel like there's someone here..."

——!

The moment he heard the words, a gleam of brilliance flashed in the man's eyes, but the next moment he instantly returned to calm.

"You may be a little tired recently, so make sure to rest, Mei."

"Um……"

The girl nodded hesitantly and then put the backpack on her back.

"Then I am off, father."

"Safe travels."

The girl waved to her father, pushed open the door of the villa, and walked towards the school.

"That strange feeling just now...what was it? It was like some kind of wave, fleeting...never mind, it must be an illusion..."

The girl muttered to herself and put the matter behind her.

"Well, we must work hard today and make sure we get into Qianyu College!"

She quickened her pace and ran towards her school...

At this time, the villa in the residential area of ​​​​me community...

As the door was gently closed, the black-haired man sitting in the living room sighed slightly and looked at the empty space beside him.

"Sorry, where were we talking about?"

Following his voice, the space suddenly became blurred, followed by a distortion. Along with a slightly fluctuating electric current, the figure of a silver-haired girl gradually appeared out of thin air on the floor next to her.

"It's okay. It's not an important topic anyway. But speaking of which... your daughter is really polite..."

The silver-haired girl spoke with a smile before she could fully reveal herself. As she spoke, she pressed a button on her watch, and the optical invisibility effect on her body was instantly lifted, and the girl in a black windbreaker appeared completely in the room.

This girl was naturally Lan Feng who had come to the Far East. After she arrived at her destination, Changkong City, she was greeted by Lei Dian Longma and followed him to his home.

By the way, due to the operation error of a female driver, the entire me company's helipad was almost destroyed, but Raiden Ryoma did not care much about this level of loss, but instead showed concern for the tired girl on the journey...

He is indeed a rich man.

At that time, Lan Feng couldn't help thinking so, and felt a little resentful towards the company of a certain twin-tailed girl that often lacked research funds.

However, when she saw the cute black-haired girl, this little unhappiness was thrown aside.

It's Mei! The real Mei!

At the moment when Mei came down from upstairs, Lan Feng hesitated for a moment and decided not to meet Mei, so he turned on the polarized invisible system attached to the terminal. Because his appearance might have an impact on his future development...

"Of course, I was strict enough in educating Mei. Originally... with such education, she would definitely have a good job and live a peaceful life in the future..."

Raiden Ryoma said this with some pride, but his voice became low when he got to the second half of the sentence.

"But who knows..."

Hearing this, Lan Feng couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Could she sense the collapse at that time?"

"Well... Mei mastered this ability six years ago. However, now that her ability has begun to recover, it seems that the seal still has safety risks..."

Looking at the man's gradually gloomy expression, Lan Feng shook her head. Not long ago, she learned a secret about Raiden Ryoma's daughter, Raiden Mei...

When Mei was eight years old, she awakened the power of the stigmata of her ancestor Sakamoto Ryoma in her blood due to an accident, and became a natural Valkyrie. However, Mei's young body was completely unable to withstand this powerful power and was severely backfired by the stigmata. When she was on the verge of death, her father, Raiden Ryoma, acted decisively and overstepped his authority to extract the Conquest Gem, one of the cores of the Second Herrscher, and implanted it into Mei's body. Thus, relying on the powerful infusion of Honkai energy, the backlash of the stigmata was barely neutralized, thus saving Mei's life.

However, this is not a long-term solution. As far as Lan Feng knows, three years from now, in the summer of 2014, the conquest gem in Mei's body will go berserk for some reason, leading to the third collapse of this civilization...

"Um... You don't need to worry so much, Mr. Raiden Ryoma. These are just guesses, right? If it were Mei now, she should be able to withstand the power of the stigmata..."

Lan Feng saw the worried look on the face of this steady man, and thinking of the future development of this world, he comforted him softly. Mei will indeed go berserk, but at that time, if Kiana is by her side, nothing will happen...

“That may be the case… But if things continue like this, even if the stigmata become controllable, I’m worried that the Honkai energy in her body will go out of control…”

"Don't worry, it won't be like that. Even if that day comes, I will help you. Thunder Ryoma, you know what my ability is. If I want to, I can do this kind of thing."

Looking at the worried face of Thunder Dragon Horse, Lan Feng comforted him softly. This was not just a casual remark, although Lan Feng knew very well that such a thing would not happen in the future. Moreover, according to the original trajectory of this world, Kiana would handle this matter. However, if something unexpected happened, Lan Feng would definitely intervene in the matter personally.

096 Meeting>>

After all, that's Mei...

"Thank you so much, Miss Cecilia!"

Hearing Lan Feng's assurance, Lei Dian Ryoma said solemnly. At this moment, he looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him who was a little younger than Mei Yi, and a trace of respect appeared in his eyes.

"But, Miss Cecilia, I don't quite understand why you care so much about my daughter?"

Although he was grateful, Lei Dian Long Ma was also a little confused. Today should be the first time that Miss "Cecilia" saw her daughter. Why would she make such a promise for no reason?

"Well... we are allies, right? Isn't it natural for us to help each other? Besides, your daughter Mei is very lovable. Such a cute child

I can't bear to see her get into any accidents..."

Lan Feng thought about it, and then whispered her true feelings. Thinking of the gentle and kind Mei Yi in the future, she couldn't help but reveal a soft smile on her young face...

On the other side, seeing the girl inadvertently reveal a gentle and sincere smile, Raiden Ryoma was slightly startled, and then he smiled from the heart, and the faint doubts in his heart disappeared.

“Hahaha… Sorry, it seems I asked an unnecessary question. I almost forgot, Miss Cecilia, you are also a mother of a child…”

Raiden Ryoma spoke kindly, not noticing the slightly darkened expression on the girl's face. With this discovery, he suddenly realized that he also had a lot of good feelings for this gentle girl. Although as far as Raiden Ryoma knew, this girl was just a clone with Cecilia's memories, the noble and kind character she showed made Raiden Ryoma respect her.

"No... that's right! That's why I care about this kind of child so much..."

Since Thunder Dragon Horse had said so, Lan Feng felt goosebumps, but he just went along with what he said. From Thunder Dragon Horse's perspective, there was nothing wrong with this statement...

"Haha... Miss Cecilia, I understand how you feel. After all, I am also a father, so I naturally know what kind of feelings you have for your children."

"Well...but now, I hope you can call me by the name Shiris, Mr. Raiden Ryoma."

Lan Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and she nodded stiffly. Although this topic made her very embarrassed, she suddenly found that the distance between herself and Thunder Dragon Horse had unknowingly shortened.

(Okay... I don't really hate kids, but I really hate naughty kids...)

Lan Feng smiled to hide his embarrassment, rubbing his hands in embarrassment. Originally, these little movements were quite strange in the eyes of others, but at this time, Thunder Dragon Horse had already regarded Lan Feng as a trustworthy ally, and after letting down his guard, he no longer paid attention to these minor details.

Suddenly remembering something, Lan Feng raised his head and looked seriously at the black-haired man in front of him.

"Mr. Raiden Ryoma, even if something happens to Mei, will you still treat her well like you do now?"

Hearing this, Raiden Ryoma's eyes narrowed.

"Of course. No matter what happens, Mei is my most precious daughter!"

Hearing this, Lan Feng nodded and smiled without saying anything. The other party was Mei's father, the person who cared about Mei the most in the world, and he was fully qualified to say such words.

"By the way, Mr. Lei Dian Long Ma, speaking of which... where is Tesla? I came to Changkong City as promised, but she didn't even come to the helipad to greet me..."

Fearing that the topic would embarrass her, Lan Feng changed the subject. Indeed, Lan Feng had just arrived in Changkong City. After the aircraft crashed, she only saw the Thunder Dragon Horse who came to greet her, but did not see Tesla.

"As for Dr. Tesla... She is still in the company's laboratory, making the final adjustments to... that thing. Speaking of that guy, I suddenly remembered something important... Shirley, this is a rare opportunity. I hope you can tell me truthfully, what exactly did Tesla do to you?"

Hearing Tesla's name, Thunder Horse's expression became a little subtle. At this time, he remembered something that had been bothering him for a long time, so he asked directly, and at the end of his speech, there was a hint of anger in his tone.

"……what?"

Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what he was talking about. Then, her expression became bitter again. She didn't expect that the topic would be brought up here again. Yes, a rumor about Tesla has spread among the conservatives of Anti-Entropy, so the Thunder Dragon Horse in front of her naturally knew about it.

"About this... Tesla should have explained it to you, right? I can guarantee that she treated me very well and definitely did not do the things that were rumored...;?;"

Lan Feng said this with a wry smile, but saw Lei Dian Longma snorted lightly, obviously not believing this explanation.

"Rumors? Is it really just a rumor that countless people can testify to? Don't worry, Shirley, there is no one here. You don't have to worry about Dr. Tesla knowing what you said."

Raiden Ryoma spoke softly to the girl. He almost forgot that the silver-haired girl in front of him was often forced by a certain executor to do some terrible things and had always lived a miserable life. Although some parts were too outrageous, Raiden Ryoma couldn't believe it. But as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. No one knows what a certain doctor with the title of lolita control did to her...

Thinking of this, he looked at the girl with eyes full of pity. Lei Dian Long Ma believed that such a kind-hearted girl should never be allowed to become someone's plaything!

"Shiris, I know your experience may be very difficult to talk about, but I can really help you."

"..."

"Perhaps you don't know... Now, many people in Anti-Entropy know about your situation and express sympathy for you. Moreover, my position in Anti-Entropy is not inferior to that of the infamous Dr. Tesla. If you are willing, we can immediately order her to release you and let you join the ME Society. What do you think?"

"No, no, no, you really misunderstood. Fulei really didn't do anything! Don't you still believe me?"

"I believe you, Cecilia, but I believe even more that you said this under threat. I hope..."

"Alright! Mr. Raiden Ryoma, thank you for your kindness, but please stop talking. Frederica and I are just friends. We don't have the weird relationship you imagine. The relevant news is just rumors from bored people. I don't want her reputation to continue to be ruined because of this... Sorry, my tone is a bit bad. I hope you can understand, Mr. Raiden Ryoma."

Seeing that Lan Feng was really angry, Lei Dian Longma was a little confused, but he still nodded to show that he understood.

"You...Okay, since you said so, I won't force you. Could it be that I really wronged Dr. Tesla?"

Seeing that the man was still skeptical, Lan Feng couldn't help but sigh again.

"Ah... it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Aiyin. She knows the whole story..."

"No, Dr. Einstein reserved his opinion on the matter and said that he had misjudged the person."

"..."

Lan Feng suddenly felt tired and didn't want to say anything.

"Okay... let's do this... where is she now? Let's go find her. After all, I came here to accept her invitation."

"The research institute at the ME headquarters, are you planning to go there now, Ms. Shiris?"

The conversation finally returned to the topic. Lan Feng sighed deeply, stood up, and looked at Lei Dian Long Ma seriously, fearing that he would ask any more strange questions.

"That's right. Take me there now, Mr. Raiden Ryoma. It's just right. Let me see what you have come up with during this period of time."

Lan Feng said as she took the lead and walked towards the door. Thinking of the surprise Tesla mentioned before, and the attitude of Thunder Dragon Horse who avoided answering, combined with the analytical data of her ability that Tesla took away before, she had basically guessed what the two inventors were doing together.

Raiden Ryoma smiled and shook his head, then stood up and picked up the bag beside him.

"Haha... The thing that Dr. Tesla specifically asked me to help her make should surprise you..."

097 weapons

Far East, Changkong City...

In a corner of the downtown area of ​​Changkong, there is a magnificent building complex that is clearly different from other areas of the city. The surrounding streets are isolated by high walls. A solemn gate stands outside the building, with a signboard with the words "massiveelectric" hanging on it. It is quite obvious who owns the building.

This is the headquarters of the international electronic technology company, ME. Due to ME's principle of technology confidentiality, no one knows what is going on inside this company that is not open to the public...

·————————————·

me Social Center Research Institute...

In the grand and elegant square corridor, a black-haired man in formal attire walked forward. The employees he met on the way bowed their heads to him and then continued their work. These researchers worked very seriously and completely ignored the silver-haired girl following behind him.

"It's really amazing... Whether it's the facilities of the institute or the discipline of the employees, they are far beyond Tesla's Southeast Sea Electric Company..."
