K424 of the Collapse World

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you haven't killed anyone, then those mecha pilots outside were killed by your companions?"

Lan Feng sneered at this. She didn't believe that anyone would be like her and not harm other people's lives in a battle.

"What...? The pilots of those mechas..."

After hearing Lan Feng's words, Lin's expression became a little strange. After she thought about it, a hint of enlightenment appeared in her eyes.

"Huh... Now I understand why you have such a strong hostility towards us... Don't worry, those people are not dead, all of them."

"what……?"

Lan Feng frowned tightly and looked at Lin with suspicion, not believing what she said at all.

"It's true... You can ask K-0 for the details..."

Following Lin's line of sight, Lan Feng turned his gaze and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him.

"you……"

"...Yes, I just dismantled their mechas and knocked them out. Since no one was responsible for handing over the prisoners, they were just left there. Now... I guess they have woken up."

After a brief silence, the girl forced herself to suppress the sudden feeling of loneliness in her heart and said this to Lan Feng.

Hearing this, Lan Feng's pupils shrank, and he looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him in disbelief...

(With her strength, she can indeed do this, but why...)

Noticing Lan Feng's puzzled look, the girl opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"I see... K424, did you think we killed your companion? Just as K-0 said, we really didn't kill anyone this time."

(Yes, just this once...)

Claire said lightly. She finally understood what the girl's previous reaction was.

(So ​​that’s how it is. She is someone who cherishes her companions…)

Suddenly, Claire found that she began to admire this powerful clone girl.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been explained... K424, although we were the first to attack, you injured so many of us, how about we just call it a draw? I have something I want to talk to you about..."

Claire said softly, looking at Lan Feng with a sincere expression. She really wanted to ask Lan Feng something, about some of the secrets of destiny, and about the other silver-haired girl...

"Humph... Why should I believe your one-sided words?"

Lan Feng snorted. In fact, she had completely believed what Kiana's real body said. Just now, when Lan Feng looked at her, she found that the girl's eyes were calm and there was no evasion at all...

Lan Feng took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, he looked at Claire who had a sincere face.

(This is such an unexpected development... But fortunately, it seems that the people outside are fine. So, what was I fighting for just now...)

Thinking of this, she gave a bitter smile, and the fighting spirit in her eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by a hint of fatigue.

"You don't believe what we say... Elena is your friend, right? You don't want to believe what she says, either?"

After hearing what Lan Feng said just now, Claire's expression became a little bitter, and she turned her gaze to Elena who had a conflicted look on her face.

“Elena…”

Following her gaze, Lan Feng also looked at the blue-haired girl with some emotion. The days when he lived in the village two years ago were still vivid in his mind.

(It’s been a long time since we last met…

)

Lan Feng's eyes softened. Claire breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene and waited for Lan Feng's next words.

In fact, as she thought, Lan Feng did not intend to continue fighting. She looked at Elena and was about to speak, but suddenly noticed something, her eyes fixed, and moved down to the right arm of the blue-haired girl.

"Elena, what happened to your hand?"

Lan Feng asked the girl doubtfully, staring at her silver-white mechanical prosthesis. After hearing Lan Feng's words, Elena suddenly came back to her senses and looked at the silver-haired girl with complicated eyes.

"This is nothing, it's just the price I pay for staying alive... Anyway, Lan Feng... you..."

Having said that, she suddenly remembered something and turned to the other silver-haired girl standing there.

110 Settlement>>

"Lan...k-0, who...can you let her go first, she is..."

"I know, she is your friend, right..."

Obviously noticing the change in the way Elena addressed her, the girl spoke softly, but her eyes slowly dimmed.

"So, what am I... an imposter? An imposter who uses his appearance to deceive others? Is that what you think? Miss Elena..."

"No, Lan... k-0, I didn't..."

"Don't say anything, I understand..."

The girl muttered to herself, and without waiting for Elena to say anything, she suddenly exerted force on her arm and pulled the imitation spirit knife out of Lan Feng's shoulder. She took two steps back and looked directly at the silver-haired girl who looked exactly like herself.

"Anyway, you should be willing to believe us now. In that case... let's calm down and have a good talk."

The girl adjusted her mentality and her tone returned to its previous indifference. Hearing her words, Lan Feng weakly supported himself with the sword and barely stood up.

The wound on his left shoulder that was pierced by the imitation spirit knife did not bleed a single drop, but the exposed skin near the shoulder where the combat uniform had a hole had turned blue-black...

"Shiris-chan..."

At this time, Yuli, who had come to Lan Feng's side when he was defeated, came forward and hurriedly supported the injured Lan Feng. When her hand touched Lan Feng's purple-black shoulder, her hand, which had long been numb from the cold, felt a chill again...

"Don't worry... this is nothing. You just heard me, right? I was once a test subject of destiny. This kind of injury is nothing."

Lan Feng gently comforted the worried woman, not caring about her severely frostbitten shoulder. She simply condensed Honkai energy near the wound to prevent the invading cold from spreading, and then turned her gaze to the Valkyries around her.

"Well... I just happen to have something I want to ask you."

The black blade suspended in the air lost the attraction of the electromagnetic wave and fell to the ground with a clear sound. Lan Feng cleared his throat and looked around at the people around him.

"But first of all, don't call me by the code name K424. I am no longer your destiny's property! My name is... Shilis."

Lan Feng exhaled and said to Claire. Without waiting for the other party to say anything, she turned her head and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her.

"Well, let's deal with our problems first... You must have lost your memory, right?"

Lan Feng looked at the real body of Kiana in front of her and asked softly. She was sure that this powerful silver-haired girl was not K423, because Lan Feng did not sense the mark on her body that she had placed on K423 before (see Chapter 49 for details). Therefore, the identity of the girl in front of her was very clear, except for K423.

"Um……"

After receiving the girl's response, Lan Feng lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought.

(What should I do?)

According to what Claire said just now, Kiana's real body obviously already knew that she was the experimental subject K424. Therefore, it was probably impossible to pretend to be Cecilia in front of them, and it seemed meaningless...

(But if I tell Kiana all the truth, then...what should "Kiana" do?)

Suddenly, looking at this silver-haired girl, Lan Feng was at a loss. She began to wonder whether she should tell her the truth.

On the one hand, she did feel pity for this original body who had lost everything and wanted to tell her everything, but on the other hand, if she knew the truth and wanted to take back everything that belonged to her, what would happen to the child with Siegfried?

"So, how much do you know about your own life experience now?"

Lan Feng's face looked a little ugly. She asked the girl casually, still having a fierce ideological struggle in her heart.

"My life experience... I know basically nothing about it. I only know that I am not a clone, and my father's name should be Siegfried... I hope you can tell me who I am... No, I'm afraid you don't know either..."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head slightly. In fact, after calming down, she suddenly realized that this girl was also

She may not know her own life experience, because... she is just an experimental subject.

Yes, she was a test subject like herself, without any freedom, and was toyed with by the researchers at will. What could she know?

However, unlike herself, she had escaped from Otto's control and gained freedom...

Thinking of this, she reached for the collar around her neck with a somewhat gloomy look. No matter what, even if she knew the truth, she was still under Otto's control. As long as he had a thought, she would become powerless to resist...

"what is that?"

"Um……?"

"What is that collar around your neck? It shouldn't be a decoration, right?"

Lan Feng looked at the girl with sad eyes, stroking her necklace, feeling a little concerned, so she couldn't help but ask her. From the collar, Lan Feng felt a sense of oppression, and watching from a distance made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"This... is just a limiter made of soul steel. Otto probably feared my ability, so he made a 'collar' to restrain me..."

"…Limiter?"

Lan Feng's pupils shrank as he looked at the silver-haired girl who fell silent again. An inexplicable emotion rose in his heart. The next moment, he suddenly saw a trace of vicissitudes in the girl's eyes, and Lan Feng couldn't help but be startled again.

(What on earth has she been through...?)

“…Sorry, K…No, Ms. Shilis, since you were once one of the experimental subjects of Tianming, you probably don’t know these things either…”

Suddenly, the girl spoke, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"How do you know? I know nothing about it."

Suddenly, Lan Feng's smiling voice startled her. The girl looked up in surprise, only to see another silver-haired girl with a look of relief on her face.

"What are you thinking about? Don't worry, I know everything about you... and I will tell you everything..."

Lan Feng took a deep breath and looked directly at the girl in front of her, her eyes full of seriousness. She had already made the decision to tell the girl the whole truth!

As for the impact afterwards, why bother about that? At this moment, Lan Feng wanted to do this from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want to see this girl depressed like this. As for what would happen after the main body knew everything, what did it have to do with Lan Feng?

"Really?"

"Well, don't show that expression. This is my own decision. You just need to listen carefully..."

(However, even if I tell you this, I cannot let you go looking for Siegfried and interfere with the world of "Kiana"... If you dare to do that, I will stop you...!)

Thinking of this, Lan Feng felt confused again. He clearly wanted to tell her her life story, but he stopped her from looking for her father. Was this helping her or hurting her?

(Forget it... Although this may be a bit cruel to her, it is better than her current state where she doesn't even know who she is...)

After a little consideration, Lan Feng's eyes became firm again.

(Just do it... I will bear the consequences of this action myself, just think of it as something I imposed on you... Kiana!)

"Listen carefully, your name is Kiana, you..."

--boom! !

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded from far away, resounding throughout the entire ruins space, interrupting Lan Feng's words! Then, accompanied by the sound of some kind of mechanical drive, something began to approach this side rapidly...

(This familiar electromagnetic wave... Hey! No way...)

“Shiris…! Where are you…?!”

A familiar voice came through the loudspeaker. Lan Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes and turned to the direction where the voice came from...

(Tesla? This is unexpected... She actually came here...)

Lan Feng couldn't help but be a little stunned. She never expected that the girl with red twin ponytails would come here...

At this time, the other Valkyries present heard the noise and looked towards the exit with some concern, guessing the identity of the visitor.

Claire's face was a little worried. Since the voice was calling out Shiris's name, it meant that the other party must be from Anti-Entropy. Would Anti-Entropy's sudden reinforcement have any impact on the current situation?

As everyone was lost in thought, the approaching voice continued to shout...

"Ciel...Ciel...? Where are you? Cecilia!"

———! !

As soon as these words came out, Claire's eyes widened instantly, full of astonishment. The other Valkyries saw Claire's appearance, and although they didn't quite understand what was going on, they also looked confused...

Lan Feng slapped himself on the forehead, his face full of helplessness...

(Tesla...you, you idiot! You called this name, you are

What are you doing?! )

111 False Truth

As the roar of the mechanical drive came closer and closer, in the distance of the ruins space, a black giant shadow larger than an ordinary Titan could be seen, constantly expanding towards this side...

Everyone present remained silent, quietly waiting for the mecha to arrive. They had too many doubts in their hearts, and when the pilot of the mecha arrived, these doubts would probably be answered.

Lan Feng closed his eyes, helplessly looking at the giant mecha that was gradually approaching, and sighed slightly...

(Forget it... what is coming will come sooner or later...)

Thinking of this, she waved her hand, signaling Yuli to let go of the hand that was supporting her, and then she leaned against the metal pillar behind her and sat down on the spot.
