K424 of the Collapse World

(I see……)

Hearing the name Edison, Lan Feng remembered some information about this matter.

·————————————·

Tesla and Edison had an unusual relationship.

More than a hundred years ago, during the Battle of Massachusetts, a large number of Honkai beasts were formed due to the increase of Honkai source energy. Facing the countless Honkai beasts attacking, Lexington, where Edison, Tesla, Einstein and others were, only had three newly completed power armor prototypes.

"Let me show you how to fight first." After leaving these words, Edison locked Einstein and Tesla in a room and drove the first prototype to stop Honkai Beast. After the battle, he and Honkai Beast died together...

This incident has always been a hurdle in Tesla's heart. She only feels grief and self-blame.

If I had acted sooner...

Especially after that, Tesla let Einstein leave with a prototype and other researchers, and chose to stay. Guarding the 120 million Massachusetts residents behind. Ironically, after Edison died in the war, she defeated the collapse and survived.

The city was saved, but that person left Tesla forever...

·————————————·

(Although it seems that these two people have some similarities... But, neither you nor I know Cecilia... So, I can't answer you at all...)

Lan Feng could only remain silent in response to Tesla's questioning. From Tesla's judgment of Cecilia's behavior, Lan Feng could clearly see that she was not aware of the battle in the second collapse.

(So... she just wanted to find a replacement for Edison? Is that why she's so concerned about a clone of "Cecilia" who looks like Edison...?)

(But… am I really like Edison?)

"you……"

Lan Feng was about to say something when suddenly, the girl on top of him tilted her body and fell down.

Fell asleep… ?

(Forget it… This is all a mess, I can’t figure it out… Her attitude is so weird…)

Lan Feng didn't know Fredenia Nikola Tesla before, she just knew a little bit about the story behind Anti-Entropy. But now, Lan Feng found that she had basically understood the girl next to her.

(Tesla... is surprisingly naive...)

Lan Feng suddenly felt tired and simply closed his eyes.

The will to die that had originally been generated by the desire to infuse Houkai energy into my body suddenly calmed down. It wasn't that I gave up the idea, but I just felt that I... didn't seem to be afraid anymore.

Like suddenly finding someone to rely on?

(No... I'd be stupid to let myself off easy with just a little kindness. But, maybe I'm really that stupid?)

In fact, Lan Feng was so sensitive to the closeness of others just because he had been lonely for too long. Even though he knew it was just because he was drunk...

She herself could not realize this.

(In the end... I still didn't do anything... Never mind. Nothing will happen here...)

After working so hard for almost a whole day, Lan Feng couldn't resist the sleepiness that came over him, and his consciousness became blurred...

014Misunderstanding...

The headquarters of Tianming is located on the edge of the city. While it is connected to the city, on the other side, outside the high walls, is the area occupied by Houkai...

At this moment, in a city connected to the headquarters of Tianming, two figures were walking cautiously in an alley.

"Mr. Charlie... where are we going? And... why are we taking such a small road? We are in the city now! Does Tianming dare to cause trouble to me so blatantly?"

When Siegfried escaped from Destiny, Nonie relied on Einstein's instructions and escaped from the Destiny headquarters in the chaos, and successfully reunited with Charlie, an anti-entropy personnel who came to pick her up.

"...That's right! Do you think Tianming is afraid of the Vienna police?"

Looking at the innocent woman behind him, Charlie smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

What on earth was the upper echelons thinking? Why did they let me protect this stupid woman? What was her use? Was she making me angry?

Charlie was very uncomfortable. Since this woman met him, she had been asking him about anti-entropy information. Charlie also tried his best to answer her questions. However, there were many things that a low-level fighter like him could not know.

For example, the action concept of anti-entropy, the composition of the top leaders...

Charlie didn't know these things at all. Even if he knew, he certainly couldn't tell this woman of unknown origin! Why did this woman dare to ask these confidential questions?

"Oh, Mr. Charlie, can you tell me..."

"...No! Miss Noni, please remember! My mission is only to protect you. Answering your questions is not within the scope of my service. Do you understand?"

Charlie, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, suppressed the urge to punch the woman and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh……"

Noni felt a little wronged. Actually, Charlie had wronged Noni. Originally, Noni had only been in the Destiny Organization for a few days, and psychologically she was just an ordinary citizen. For Noni, the sudden change from a strict international company to another hostile company was like treason.

Feeling nervous, she had to keep chatting with the reliable-looking man next to her to divert her attention as much as possible.

So…most of the questions asked are brainless.

"If you don't want to be caught by destiny and made into a (beep——), then be quiet!"

"……sorry."

Noni lowered her head, her face full of grievance. She really didn't know why this man who was so kind before became more and more fierce.

Are you disgusted...?

Charlie led Noni through the alleys. As a former intelligence officer, he was very familiar with the terrain in this area. Although Noni's movement speed was a bit slow, the two of them still moved towards the edge of the city at a fast speed.

Charlie was so angry that he didn't notice that there was a small metal sphere following him in the sky above his head.

"Hey~ Is it true...? I never thought she would..."

"That's right...! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Shh...! Look... Dr. Tesla is coming!"

"Keep your voice down! Don't let her hear it!"

……

Tesla walked in the base with a dark face, listening to the female researchers around her pointing and talking about her. She only felt a throbbing pain in her brain.

Let’s go back to that morning…

·————————————·

"Hmm... hangover... so uncomfortable..."

I opened my eyes and subconsciously glanced at my watch. The time showed 9:38.

Tesla thought about what happened yesterday. Since he was in a bad mood, he went straight to his room to drink, and then... then he knew nothing.

"I returned to my room yesterday around... 5 o'clock? I slept for... uh... 16 hours?!"

Tesla was startled and suddenly wanted to get up. After getting up, she suddenly remembered that she was not at the Anti-Entropy headquarters and did not need to check her experimental projects.

"My head hurts... I should sleep a little longer..."

Remembering that he had no tasks to do, Tesla decided to lie down again. The hangover was uncomfortable, so since he didn't need to get up, he could just continue sleeping...

Thinking of this, Tesla reached out to pull up the quilt, but his hand touched something soft...

"Ah! What is that?!"

Tesla was sobered up instantly after the shock. She pulled back the blanket to see what was inside.

——Crash~!

As the bed sheet floated up, Tesla saw it clearly and was stunned for a moment...

The silver-haired girl curled up beside her, hugging her in a strange posture, and they were tightly pressed together. In addition, she could even feel the subtle touch against her chest...

“This, this, this…! What is going on?!”

Tesla's horrified voice echoed throughout the room.

After I got drunk... I didn't know anything. Why was Cecilia here? !

The sleeping silver-haired girl was awakened by the terrified scream. She rubbed her eyes, and when she opened them, Tesla's face filled her field of vision.

The two people were already very close... When Lan Feng raised his head, his face almost touched Tesla's.

(So ​​close...! Oh, I should have fallen asleep here yesterday...)

Lan Feng remembered that he had come to see Tesla the previous afternoon, but was beaten by the drunk Tesla... But fortunately, nothing happened. Later, Lan Feng, feeling sleepy, fell asleep here.

Now it seems that after I fell asleep, I was treated as a pillow...? No, it seems that I took the initiative to stick to it...

Regardless, Lan Feng felt his face getting a little hot again after such close contact with the opposite sex (psychologically)...

014 Misunderstanding... >>

————Bang! !

"Dr. Tesla! What happened?! You... uh..."

After hearing Tesla's exclamation, several female researchers who rushed over rushed into the room!

After Tesla got drunk, he did not close the door... Therefore, the women who entered the room saw the scene in front of them directly, and the next moment, they all froze in place...

The red-haired Dr. Lobster hugged a little girl he had never seen before, and held her tightly in his arms like a pillow. Generally speaking, there was nothing wrong with this, but the distance seemed a little close - but they would never have thought that a certain executor who lived with them day and night would have such an interest.

Of course, the next moment, the two of them turned their gazes to the door and stared at the women. The air seemed to be gradually condensing...

A female researcher reacted, blushed immediately, and ran out of the door!

"Sorry for bothering me!!"

Her voice startled several other women, and in an instant, they all had almost the same reaction!

"Sorry……"

"Um...please continue..."

……

——Bang!

The last woman to leave even closed the door considerately.

"Eh...? Hey! Wait! It's not like that!"

At this time, Tesla, whose brain was a little slow due to the hangover, finally reacted.

He hurriedly shouted, and looking at the reactions of those women, even a fool could tell what they were thinking.

(This is troublesome… What should I do now…? This misunderstanding is fatal! What if Einstein finds out…)

Shivering violently, Tesla held his head with both hands, his expression becoming broken.

Suddenly, she had a terrible guess...

(No! Did I really do something to Cecilia?!)

"Hey! Cecilia, why are you here?! And! Did anything happen yesterday?"

Tesla immediately turned to the little girl beside him and asked hurriedly.

The silver-haired girl was thinking about something when she was suddenly interrupted by Tesla's voice. Lan Feng came back to his senses and looked at the anxious red-haired girl in front of him.

(What happened? Oh~ She has no memory of being drunk?)

As he thought about it, Lan Feng lowered his head, and a hint of cunning flashed in his pupils hidden by his hair.

"You...you obviously did such an excessive thing to me...have you forgotten everything?"

Lan Feng blinked and raised his head again. He squeezed out a few tears from his hazy eyes in the morning and spoke in a trembling voice.

"What……?"

The girl confirmed that Tesla's brain had crashed. Even though she had lived for a hundred years, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing...

(No... No way...?! I really did that kind of thing to a little girl?!)

"Cecilia...I...I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"..."

Tesla watched the girl crying and trembling, and felt even more panicked. She had no idea how this would end...

At this moment, Lan Feng tried hard to hold back her smile, and her body began to tremble. Listening to Tesla's panicked voice made her feel very, happy...

(So... it's really fun to tease this serious female scientist...)
