K424 of the Collapse World

"I'm sorry, Kiana... I may have to postpone what I want to tell you a little bit."

"Yeah... I understand. Is the so-called 'Cecilia' your real name? From everyone's expressions, I can tell that something serious is about to happen, right?"

The girl nodded and spoke seriously, then raised the sword in her hand and looked at the approaching mecha as if facing a formidable enemy.

"No...relax, Kiana, there is no need to fight, it's just...well, forget it, you will know later..."

"Is that so……"

Hearing this, the girl thought about it and put down the sharp blade in her hand. She herself did not realize that since she saw this girl who was like herself smiling at her, she had already begun to trust her...

Lan Feng closed his eyes with a headache, thinking about how to deal with the current situation. Tesla's shout of "Cecilia" must have been heard by all these people. And it was followed by his name, so even a fool could figure it out that this was definitely calling him...

(Headache...)

Thinking of this, Lan Feng couldn't help but cover her face with her hands. She had originally planned to tell Qiana the truth, but what was going on now? Was she going to be forced to pretend to be Cecilia again?

——Click!

A loud bang suddenly sounded, accompanied by a harsh friction sound, and the giant blue-black mecha suddenly stopped in front of everyone. The bloated appearance seemed full of power, and it was a circle larger than the ordinary Titan mecha. However, what was more concerning was that there was some kind of mechanical device attached to its right arm mecha...

(Frozen mecha... This should be one of the most advanced models among the anti-entropy mechas, but it is indeed very suitable for the environment here... Tesla actually brought this thing here. However, the most important thing now is not this...)

Lan Feng's mouth twitched as he looked at the frozen mecha that was looking around. He cleared his throat slightly and was about to speak...

"Cecilia! What happened to your shoulder?!"

"..."

As the detector of the frozen earth mech locked onto Lan Feng, the next moment, Tesla's exclamation came from the mech's loudspeaker. What was even more terrible was that she blurted out Cecilia's name again...

"Did you cause her injury? Valkyries of Destiny...! You will pay the price for this!"

"Wait... Tesla! This is just..."

Suddenly, the frozen earth mecha swung its huge mechanical wall, aimed at the bewildered Elena, and smashed down its iron fist...!

Tesla was so angry that she didn't care about anything at all. In her opinion, the Valkyrie present was the murderer who hurt Shiris!

"I told you to wait!"

Lan Feng's figure disappeared like lightning and appeared beside Elena in an instant!

She hurriedly pushed the girl away, instantly raised her uninjured right hand, and took the heavy punch!

———Bang! !

The moment the huge force was applied, the metal ground beneath Lan Feng's feet cracked slightly! The next moment after being hit, she felt a strong wind coming with the heavy punch! The arm that was in contact with the heavy punch felt numb, and based on the instinctive analysis of the injury information, the joint of the right forearm seemed to be injured...

"Stop! Tesla..."

Lan Feng gritted her teeth and supported herself. Her body, which had originally been frozen by the cold air of the imitation spirit sword, was now forcibly driven by her. She burst out with physical strength to move at high speed and fight against a mecha weighing dozens of tons. Even the body of a pseudo-hersr could not withstand such torture.

As a result, her frozen muscles were bruised, and her bones, which had become fragile due to the low temperature, were slightly cracked by the impact. If Lan Feng could feel the real pain, she would have fainted instantly.

"Eh...?! Cecilia?! What are you doing?"

Tesla, who was driving the mecha, reacted the next moment, and quickly put away his mechanical arm. He looked at Lan Feng, who was blocking the attack for Elena, in astonishment, with a puzzled expression on his face...

"Huh...Okay, Tesla...things are not what you think. Calm down for a moment."

"But, what exactly is this...?"

At this time, Tesla's mind was a little confused. When she arrived, she saw a team of destiny's Valkyries standing around,

The silver-haired girl was in the middle. Seeing the dark blue shoulder under the girl's tattered combat uniform, she attacked the nearest Valkyrie in a rage...

However, the silver-haired girl's actions were beyond Tesla's expectations. She actually rushed forward and desperately blocked the attack for the enemy Valkyrie! Tesla was stunned and didn't understand what was going on...

But at this moment, Tesla looked at the girl who suddenly fell to her knees and immediately panicked. Without taking care of the other Valkyries present, he jumped out of the cockpit of the mecha and ran over in a panic.

"Hey! Cecilia! How are you feeling? Is everything okay? Hey...!"

She hurriedly supported the girl's limp body, knelt down, placed the girl's head on her knees, and looked at the girl who she had accidentally injured with a worried look on her face.

"... Stop! Please, don't call me by that name now... I really am... Alas..."

Lan Feng was helpless. Although the pain could not affect her, at this moment, sensing her physical condition, she had to admit that she had basically lost her ability to fight. What was even more frustrating was that she was beaten like this by her teammates...

Faced with this situation that made her feel powerless to complain, she subconsciously ignored the matter of the knee pillow and began to think about what to do next, how to face Kiana and these surprised Valkyries...

(This is troublesome... Although Kiana doesn't seem to know Cecilia, the expressions of these Valkyries clearly show that they know Saint Cecilia... What should I do now...)

"Okay... Shiris, what is going on, what are you...doing?"

Tesla realized that her address was inappropriate and quickly changed her words. However, at this moment, she noticed that the Valkyries around her did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead looked at her silently. Then she suddenly realized that things might not be what she thought...

Although the girl was injured, the Valkyries were also injured, and some were even unconscious. It can be seen that the battle between the two sides should be evenly matched. Shilis was communicating with the Valkyries after reconciliation. And my intrusion obviously interrupted this process...

"By the way... Tesla, why are you here all of a sudden? Have you finished your work?"

Lan Feng looked at the red-haired girl with an expression of sudden enlightenment, and couldn't help curling his lips and asked helplessly. It's all because of this guy that things have become so troublesome...

"No... I just received an urgent communication from one of your agents, saying that they encountered an enemy that they couldn't defeat, and it might be a team with an S-rank Valkyrie, so I..."

Tesla hurriedly explained. At this moment, she suddenly saw a white shadow not far away from the corner of her eye.

He turned his head with some concern, and the figure of another silver-haired girl came into view. Tesla was stunned, and the next moment he fell into astonishment and stagnation...

“This…she…?”

Seeing Tesla's reaction, Lan Feng sighed again, and his expression became a little tired.

"(whispering) She is Kiana! My...daughter! And, she is surrounded by the Valkyries of destiny... It's all your fault. I told you not to call me Cecilia, and now... How do you want me to end this?"

Lan Feng gritted his teeth and said these words, looking at Tesla with resentment. Although Tesla's appearance proved that the agent outside was indeed fine, Lan Feng couldn't be happy now. After all, what exactly did this name mean when heard by those Valkyries? Lan Feng could already guess...

"Lan Feng...! How are you...!"

Elena walked forward in a panic, squatted beside Lan Feng, and looked at the silver-haired girl lying on the ground with a complicated expression, not knowing what to do...

"Why... did you save me? Your injury..."

"what……?"

Hearing this, Lan Feng turned his gaze to Elena, whose eyes were moist, and shook his head with a chuckle.

"It's okay... just a minor injury. But why did I save you...? We are friends, right? Isn't this a matter of course?"

Lan Feng looked at Elena who was about to cry with some amusement, and shook his head with a wry smile. He was not about to die, so was it necessary to have such a big reaction?

Of course, if Lan Feng noticed the miserable state of his body at this moment, he probably wouldn't think so...

"Lan Feng..."

Staring blankly at the silver-haired girl with a gentle smile, Elena was a little confused. She looked at the girl's pale face with distress, and suddenly felt bitter in her heart...

Although she had always considered this girl a friend, she had just worried that after Lan Feng joined Anti-Entropy, she would consider herself an enemy...

But now it seems that it was not just my wishful thinking. This girl really did treat me as a friend...

Involuntarily, she stretched out her hands and wanted to hold the hands of the girl in front of her. But when she saw Lan Feng's right arm full of wounds, she immediately stopped her action, fearing that she would hurt him.

This injured girl.

She wanted to say something, but suddenly she didn't know how to start...

The joy and excitement of meeting her friends again had been completely worn away when she first met K-0 a few days ago.

111 False Truth >>

However, Elena's silence does not mean that others will be the same as her.

"Shilis, she is..."

"Hey! K... No, Miss Hillis, who are you...?"

At this time, without waiting for Tesla to finish his words, Claire, who was standing aside, walked up with a look of astonishment on her face, looked at Lan Feng lying on Tesla's legs, and screamed.

“Cecilia… She called you Cecilia…? Oh, and you look like her…! And your weapon is also a lance… But how is this possible… Didn’t she die a long time ago?! And you’re just an experiment…”

Claire stared at Lan Feng with eyes wide open in disbelief. Although her words were incoherent, Lan Feng knew what she wanted to say. She could only smile bitterly.

“Ahem…haha…this is a bit complicated to explain…”

Lan Feng spoke softly. As the cold air invaded her lungs, she couldn't help coughing a few times, and her voice became a little weak.

Although she was concentrating on repairing the damage to her body, she couldn't recover quickly in her current state of bruises.

Her left shoulder was pierced by the imitation spirit sword, and the icy energy entered her body, causing the frostbitten muscles to be torn a second time. Her right arm also had joint bruises when it took the iron fist of the frozen earth mecha, and the bones on half of her body were cracked... Adding up all these injuries, if it were an ordinary Valkyrie, she would have been able to rest in peace.

(Alas... If I had known this, I should have been more careful and blocked Kiana's knife. If my body had not been frostbitten, there would be no problem with my body when blocking the frozen earth mecha...)

Da da……

Suddenly, with the sound of footsteps approaching him, Lan Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his gaze to look at the silver-haired girl who was slowly approaching him.

"...?"

Lan Feng tilted his head slightly, looking at the girl who had stopped, not knowing what was going on.

The girl's eyes fluctuated slightly, and soon, as if she had made some decision, she bent down and squatted beside Lan Feng.

While Tesla still had a dull look in his eyes, the girl stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on Lan Feng's chest.

The next moment, as a faint golden light spread out, Lan Feng suddenly felt a gentle and gentle energy flowing from the girl's hand into his body, merging into the Honkai energy in her body and helping to repair his body. As a result, Lan Feng's self-healing with Honkai energy was greatly accelerated...

"you……?"

Facing Lan Feng's puzzled look, the girl bit her lip and lowered her head slightly.

"…Our energy forms are very similar. I can probably help you recover."

"Why……?"

Lan Feng asked, this was not the answer she wanted. Lan Feng just wanted to know why the girl did this. They were enemies fighting each other just a moment ago, and even if they had temporarily reconciled, it did not mean that they could become so close...

"I, I just... just consider this as a reward for you saving Elena. After all, she... is my friend..."

The silver-haired girl thought for a moment, then blushed and spoke softly. But when she said the last sentence, her tone became a little low and her eyes dimmed.

The girl glanced at Tesla and Yuli who were clustered around Lan Feng, and then saw Elena who was also squatting next to her. An inexplicable tingling sensation emerged from the depths of her heart, and she felt her heart throbbing. She shook her head vigorously, forcing herself not to think about these things...

(These didn’t belong to me in the first place… so there’s no need to feel sad…)

Elena, who was standing next to him, opened her mouth with a complicated expression when she saw the girl's look. But now that things had come to this, she didn't know what to say. She could only look at the silver-haired girl beside Lan Feng with a complicated and guilty look, and remained silent.

Not noticing Elena's troubled look, the girl closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. As her expression returned to normal, a hint of softness appeared in her eyes.

"... And you showed mercy to my friends... Although you were a little harsh, that was because of a misunderstanding... Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and you are willing to tell me those things, then... we are no longer enemies now, right?"

"..."

Lan Feng remained silent, looking at the gentle silver-haired girl, but she didn't know how to answer her. After a long while, she sighed helplessly, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Little idiot, what are you thinking about... Have you forgotten that you are the Valkyrie of Destiny? And I... am a member of Anti-Entropy. We belong to two opposing organizations. How can it be so easy..."

"But you really don't intend to fight me now, right, my...sister?"

"Ah? Um..."

His words were interrupted by the girl, Lan

Feng did not show any dissatisfaction.

(Hehe…sisters?)

Lan Feng suddenly felt at a loss for words. But it was just as the girl said. Now, her fighting spirit had completely faded, and all that was left was fatigue...

There are still worries...

She had not forgotten the troubles she was about to face. Although she knew that the information about the S-class Valkyrie of the Destiny Organization was confidential, the Valkyrie Claire in front of her, who had met her once before, for some reason, obviously knew about the S-class Valkyrie, Cecilia Shaniat, ten years ago.

So, if she was someone who was very familiar with Cecilia, then her fake identity would be exposed soon...

Thinking of this, she turned her eyes slightly and looked at Tesla, who was worried. Lan Feng's expression also became melancholy.

(If Tesla knew that he had lied to her, then...what would happen?)

(As expected... I can only cover up lies with lies. What a pity. I wanted to confess to you... Kiana. But don't worry, since I choose to admit that identity, I will take the corresponding responsibilities...)

At this time, Claire, who was not far away, frowned and looked at the silver-haired girl not far away. She was about to say something, but suddenly felt a hand patting her shoulder.

She turned around and saw Lin standing behind her, shaking her head slightly.

"Claire... I can see that you have a lot of things to ask her, but you should wait for her to recover... After all, she's already injured like that..."

At this point, Lin's expression was somewhat reluctant. She had been severely beaten by Lan Feng in the previous battle, and it was impossible for her to say that she had no resentment about it. However, after learning the reason for the other party's anger, Lin also felt that it was reasonable. No matter who it was, it was natural for them to lose control of their emotions after learning the news of their comrades' tragic death.
