K424 of the Collapse World

"...Hey, you...why didn't you show up until now? Do you know that in the past two years, I..."

"Feel sorry……"

Facing the crying voice of this girl, Lan Feng didn't need to say anything.

What, but she still apologized and kissed the girl's cheek.

"From now on, I won't let you be alone anymore..."

Lan Feng likes another Kiana, that is, K423, but she is also unwilling to abandon the Kiana in front of her. And those people who are important to her...

Tesla, Xi'er, Xing...

(I have so many people to protect without realizing it...)

"Ah...?"

Everything in front of him suddenly became blurry, and Lan Feng opened his eyes wide in surprise...

She just realized that for some reason, her eyes were a little wet.

(Really... I only opened my heart to Kiana, but when did I become so sentimental...)

Just like that, the two girls who looked exactly the same hugged each other, their silver-white hair intertwined. Once again, everyone else watched this scene silently, and no one disturbed the delicate relationship between the two girls...

Tesla looked at one of the silver-haired girls. Although he knew that the other girl was her daughter, Tesla always had a strange feeling in his heart.

Tesla felt that they were more like sisters than mother and daughter, or... lovers?

Thinking of this, Tesla hurriedly shook his head vigorously to dispel this weird guess from his mind.

(Hehe... How is that possible... No matter what, Kiana is still her daughter, so this kind of thing...)

At the same time, Claire, who was not far away, also put away the astonishment on her face, and replaced it with a tangled expression...

(I didn’t expect it to be like this… K–0… No, Kiana is actually my sister… And, K424 has Cecilia’s memories, but she is not Cecilia herself… So, is she my aunt?)

While thinking, Claire suddenly thought of something even more frustrating...

(Ceci... No, let's call her Silis. According to her, it may be due to some kind of experiment that she has some of Cecilia Shaniat's memories, but... In fact, she is a copy of K-0, that is, Cecilia's daughter, a copy of Kiana... So, how should the relationship between these two people be calculated?)

In Claire's opinion, as a replica of Kiana, from a scientific point of view, her genes come from Kiana, and Kiana can be called her mother. But on the other hand, Cialis has the memory of Kiana's mother, Cecilia, so psychologically, Cialis can be Kiana's mother...

Claire did not doubt the truth of what Lan Feng said, but she was caught up in another trouble that was not really a trouble...

"Okay, now that everything has been explained, let's deal with the remaining issues..."

Finally, the girl reluctantly let go of Lan Feng's body, took two steps back, and lowered her head with a red face. Lan Feng also took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the Valkyries around him.

"So what are you going to do next, my lovely niece...Claire?"

Lan Feng chuckled and asked the girl with short beige hair. After all the relationship issues have been sorted out, it's time to deal with the current situation...

As the Valkyries of Destiny, what exactly do they plan to do?

Suddenly, at this moment, the symbol of the signal bar on Claire's communicator flashed slightly, but this scene was not noticed by anyone, including herself.

As the temperature in the air gradually rose, the purple light on the biological maintenance device placed in the corner of the ruins, which indicated the activation of the instrument, became dimmer...

113 Incident

"Well, my lovely niece, as the Valkyrie of Destiny, what exactly are you going to do?"

Lan Feng looked directly at Claire, who had a serious expression, and asked softly. Although everyone present had a frank exchange of ideas due to the reasons of Kiana and Lan Feng themselves, this did not mean that everyone would ignore the principled issues.

That's right, the conflict between destiny and anti-entropy can be traced back to half a century ago. As members of the two organizations, the two groups of people present should have fought to the death when fighting for this relic. However, due to the current special situation, they can no longer solve the problem in this way.

"I……"

Claire's face was completely confused. As the captain of this Valkyrie team, she obviously needed to make the decision on what to do now. But in the current situation, she had no idea how to deal with it...

"I have no idea……"

Claire lowered her head, not daring to look Lan Feng in the eye.

The leader of the Anti-Entropy Force, the silver-haired girl named Shilis, was a test subject of the Destiny Organization who escaped from the laboratory two years ago and possessed extremely powerful strength. This was nothing, but she possessed the memories of Cecilia Shaniat, the saint of the Destiny Organization. She was also a close friend of one of the team members, the "mother" of another team member, and even in a sense, she was

My own aunt...

Facing such a special person, Claire was completely at a loss. So, what should she do? After the Anti-Entropy troops encountered the Valkyrie of Destiny, Claire could not think of any other way to solve the problem except fighting. However, at this point, it was obviously impossible to continue the previous battle.

"Don't worry. In this place, all communication signals are completely isolated. So you don't have to worry about your actions being discovered by the high-level officials of Tianming."

Lan Feng smiled and said to Claire. She could see the entanglement in the girl's eyes, and she also knew what she was worried about. As for this "niece", Lan Feng could not bring up any bad feelings towards her except for a bitter smile.

Although she was the one who launched the attack first, Lan Feng did not suffer any harm from them. In the final analysis, the fight between the two sides could have been avoided from the beginning.

Lan Feng had expected Claire to be hesitant. However, Claire's inability to make a decision did not mean that Lan Feng did not know what to do.

"Okay, in that case, let me do something I want to do first..."

Lan Feng looked at Claire who had fallen silent, smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to the silver-haired girl beside him.

Looking directly into the girl's eyes which were still filled with tears, Lan Feng's expression gradually became serious.

"Then... answer me, do you still want to return to the Destiny Organization?"

Lan Feng asked the girl without paying any attention to the others present. As her voice resounded throughout the quiet space, all the Valkyries present showed surprised expressions again...

"Hey... Claire, Miss Hillis... is she planning to...?"

Lin looked at Claire with a complicated expression. Even though she was asking a question, she had already guessed what Miss Shilis was going to do...

"Isn't it obvious what she wants to do?"

Claire just shrugged her shoulders. When K-0 described her life in the Destiny Institute, Claire had naturally heard it. Even though Claire knew a lot about the dark side of the Destiny Organization, she couldn't help but feel indignant about it! Later, especially after she learned from Lan Feng that K-0 was her sister, her dissatisfaction with Destiny reached its peak...

Let’s not talk about Lin and Claire’s reactions. On the other side, after hearing these words, the girl’s pupils shrank slightly. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out…

She bit her lips, her face full of pain and confusion. After a long time, she finally spoke.

"I...can't leave destiny. If...Otto knew that I betrayed him, he would..."

"Stop! That's not what I'm asking. I just want to know what you think."

Lan Feng interrupted the girl directly. She looked straight into the girl's slightly fluctuating eyes with a calm expression.

"I……"

The girl's voice suddenly stopped, she pursed her lips and fell silent again. But this time, she seemed to have made a decision, took a deep breath, then raised her head and met Lan Feng's eyes with her slightly fluctuating eyes...

"...I don't want to go back! Absolutely not!!"

The girl said it loudly, but there was still some struggle in her eyes. Without waiting for Lan Feng to say anything, she grasped the collar around her neck, and her expression began to become excited...

"But... even if I'm thinking about escaping from the control of destiny all the time, what's the use? With this thing alone, I can't disobey their orders at all..."

With an excited expression, the girl's voice became low. Thinking of the conversation with a certain bishop two years ago, she couldn't help but clench her hands into fists...

"Besides... this thing is made of soul steel. Attacks with Honkai energy will not work on it, so..."

At this point, the girl lowered her head again. She originally thought that Anti-Entropy would have a powerful weapon that could destroy Soul Steel, but this weapon was obviously the ability of the girl in front of her. But those electric currents with annihilation attributes were still essentially Honkai energy...

Hearing this, Lan Feng narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand towards the girl, and knocked on the pale yellow metal collar on her neck. Then, Lan Feng moved her fingers, and a tiny purple arc suddenly appeared, leaping at her fingertips and striking the metal collar. However, these dangerous currents could not leave a trace on the surface of the collar...

Seeing this, Lan Feng withdrew his hand, looked at the girl with an expression of "as expected", and sighed slightly.

“Indeed, any form of Houkai energy cannot penetrate it at all, and the Houkai energy attached to the object will also dissipate, as if it was directly eliminated… And, speaking of the metal material alone, its strength should also be the strongest level in the world…”

Having said that, without waiting for the girl to say anything, Lan Feng suddenly changed the subject and a smile appeared on her face again.

"But even so, who says I can't do anything about it?"

As he spoke, Lan Feng turned his gaze to the shivering red-haired girl sitting next to the mecha.

"Over to you, Tesla."

"Hey... I'm not your subordinate.

, Shirley..."

Tesla complained weakly after hearing Lan Feng's words. Although the temperature in this space has risen a lot, it is no longer as bone-chillingly cold as before. But for Tesla, it is still unbearable. She couldn't help but think of the experience in the snowfield of Siberia during the second collapse...

"Really... Not only did you disclose confidential information, but you even spoke to your superior like this, Hillis, you are getting bolder and bolder..."

Despite her complaints, Tesla still supported herself, stood up tremblingly, and walked towards Lan Feng. In fact, she also felt pity for the girl bound by the collar. Moreover, based on the relationship between the girl and Shirley, she should intervene in this matter.

"That... Shiris, who is she...?"

The girl raised her head and looked at Tesla, who was walking slowly towards her, with some fear. She had not noticed it before, but after looking into Tesla's eyes, the girl sensed the researcher's temperament in Tesla, and she could not help but feel a little nervous.

Because of her experience at the Destiny Research Institute, the girl would instinctively react with fear to anyone with this kind of researcher temperament...

"It's okay, don't be nervous, she's my friend and won't hurt you..."

Faced with the girl's abnormal reaction, Lan Feng did not express any doubt, but gently touched her head and comforted her patiently.

Lan Feng could sense that after experiencing such a huge emotional upheaval, the girl's spirit was as fragile as glass. In order not to hurt her, he had to protect her with great care...

As Lan Feng comforted her, the girl gradually calmed down. This scene was seen by the other people present, and it further confirmed Lan Feng's identity...

"How gentle, Shirley..."

Tesla saw Lan Feng's behavior and said with a smile. She stopped in front of the girl, gently clenched her left hand, and with a wave of light particles, a red mechanical arm armor appeared on her left arm.

"Stand still."

Tesla said to the girl, stretching his left hand forward and pointing it at the collar on her neck. Then a light screen popped up, and she raised her other hand and began to perform some operation on the light screen.

"Well, let's analyze the composition first..."

Tesla was talking to himself, and the next moment, light particles emerged from the arm armor, condensing into a blue shadow, reflecting on the surface of the girl's collar. As the light and shadow gradually solidified, a holographic image of the collar appeared on the light screen in front of Tesla, and dense data analysis appeared below.

Tesla adjusted his glasses, moved closer to the light screen, and began to read carefully.

"Hmm... a remote-controlled collar made of soul steel using special means... Hmm, it also has micro-fission bombs installed on the inside. What a heinous method..."

113 Incident >>

Tesla muttered, a hint of gloom in her eyes.

"How's it going, Tesla?"

Lan Feng saw Tesla's eyes narrowed, revealing an inexplicable sense of depression, so he couldn't help but ask her.

Beside her, the girl also had a little worry on her face, although she knew that it was almost impossible to destroy the collar. But even so, she still had a little expectation in her heart, but her thoughts were like a mess, and she had no idea what to do. She could only let Lan Feng and Tesla do these things to her with unknown effects.

(If I could really destroy this thing...)

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope deep in her heart...

Tesla breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the light screen that blocked his view to the other side in front of him, and turned his gaze back to Lan Feng.

"It's a bit troublesome... Since I can't connect to the anti-entropy network, it's almost impossible to destroy the soul steel without hurting her with the means I can use now... Moreover, we can't take the initiative to remove this communication blockage. The control system of the collar is temporarily disabled due to the communication blockage. Once the communication is restored, Tianming will regain the control system of the collar... Then..."

Tesla said in a low voice. Hearing this, Lan Feng was slightly stunned and his expression became a little gloomy.

"This... is there really no other way?"

Lan Feng gritted his teeth, feeling a strong sense of unwillingness. He had clearly promised the girl that he would protect her, but now, was he going to break his promise...

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Lan Feng's eyes.

(…In that case, let’s find a way to force Otto to release Kiana!)

As a crazy plan emerged in his mind, Lan Feng took a deep breath and was about to say something, but suddenly he noticed a hint of cunning in the eyes of the red-haired girl in front of him.

"Other methods...? Of course there are~ I never said that we must destroy the soul steel to remove this collar."

"you……?"

Looking at Lan Feng with satisfaction, who was looking astonished, Tesla smiled and shook her head. The dark cloud on her face had completely dissipated at some point.

"Feel sorry…

...It's just a joke, you guys looked so nervous just now...Relax, this matter is not that complicated."

"Huh...it's already this time, and you're still joking!"

Hearing this, Lan Feng heaved a sigh of relief, but after regaining her composure, she was still a little angry about Tesla's inappropriate joke.

Looking at Lan Feng who was angry, Tesla waved his hand gently and smiled apologetically.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Although we can't destroy the main body of this collar, which is the soul steel used as the main material. However, if we want to remotely control the soul steel's ability to suppress the collapse, there must be many electronic components inside it. We just need to start from here... Give me some time, and I can crack its control system!"

Tesla did not lower his voice at all, because it was meaningless. When Lan Feng decided to destroy the girl's collar, the other Valkyries present did not express any opinions, so it was assumed that they had acquiesced.

"Crack the control system...how are you going to do that...wait! Is this really possible?"
