K424 of the Collapse World

So, under Lan Feng's gaze, the man slowly half-knelt down, put one hand on his chest, and slowly raised the other hand forward...

"Ms. Shilis, actually... from the day I first saw you in the orphanage, I realized that I had fallen deeply in love with you!"

"..."

"I swear that I will do my best to protect you. Will you marry me?"

After he finished speaking, the whole place fell into a deathly silence. The two executors, including the other silver-haired girl behind him, were completely stunned...

At the center of their gaze, the man did not notice the girl's stiff expression. He tried hard to recall the written confession he had seen before, wondering if he should add two more sentences...

143 Seeking Death is Human Instinct>>

(It seems to work! There is no doubt that she once lived in the orphanage of Cocolia-sama. And even if she has lost her memory, it is common sense that girls of this age tend to have some princess dreams and fantasize about some romantic scenes, such as being proposed to. So, imitating such scenes should be able to bring enough impact to her mind...)

As an excellent agent, the man couldn't help but feel proud of himself for being able to perform such an acting skill on the spot. He secretly thought that if he could use this to awaken Shirley's memory, he could rely on her power to escape from here!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even though these romantic words were just lies for emergency purposes, if Shiris really fell in love with him because of them, then...

At this time, he laughed happily.

However, what was Hillis thinking at this moment when she was treated like this by him?

At this time, after Lan Feng repeatedly confirmed the meaning of the man's words, she felt a chill running from the back of her head to her toes, and her whole body began to feel uncomfortable. She couldn't help but think of the scene in the town that day when Siegfried looked at her affectionately. This was a nightmare that had been lingering in her mind for the past few days...

Because he was distracted, the man failed to notice the girl's gradually darkening face. Just as he was about to add a few more romantic words, he saw another silver-haired girl behind Raiden Ryoma not far away...

"You are my most...Pfft! Ahem...How is it possible?! Why are there two Shilis?"

He was so shocked that he couldn't catch his breath, and the love words he was saying were interrupted, causing him to cough. Just as he was about to say something else, a small fist slowly enlarged in front of the man's eyes...

It is a small fist that looks white and soft, but it only reminds people of a small fist hitting your chest. Why does it carry such a terrible sense of oppression...

This was the last thing the man thought of before the girl punched him in the face in anger...

—

—Bang~~!!

As a muffled sound shook the building of ME Company, Raiden Ryoma came back to his senses from his daze. He looked at the silver-haired girl who was trembling with anger, then hurried into the database and came to a humanoid object embedded in the wall.

Raiden Ryoma frowned, looked at the mosaic-like head of the humanoid object, remained silent for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of ​​touching it with his hand.

"Obviously, there's no hope... Anyway, Shirley, why did you kill him when you haven't obtained the necessary intelligence yet?"

“…He deserves to die!”

After a long while, Lan Feng squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. She took a few deep breaths, then opened her hand and threw the chip that she had almost crushed to Thunder Dragon Horse.

"Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now. If it is intelligence, we should be able to get it by analyzing this. Sorry... I am a little tired now, I will go back and rest first..."

Lan Feng finished speaking, and without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he walked towards the accommodation area in his memory in a daze...

"Mom... Sister, what happened...?"

Looking at the girl's desolate back, Kiana's eyes were filled with worry. Raiden Ryoma sighed and began to contact his trusted men to deal with the scene.

On the other side, Einstein, who had remained silent from beginning to end, frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking...

In any case, the matter is over. This is the tragic way in which a man who thought he was smart met his end.

Russia's Far East, near Okhotsk...

In an orphanage office, the tall blonde woman didn't know that her ace agent had been sent to the best morgue in Changkong City. She pinched her temples and looked at the report sent by the terminal in front of her, with a mocking smile on her face.

"Have the modifications on R-312 been completed? The mission seems to be going smoothly, and it's a great job. Haha... Raiden Ryoma, I warned you at the beginning, but since you insist on interfering in the affairs between the two factions, don't blame me..."

As she was talking to herself, she suddenly remembered something and immediately called up all the information she had obtained during this period. After filtering it, she only found the part about a certain silver-haired girl...

"The conservative Southeast Sea Electric Company, Dr. Tesla's adjutant, Shirley..."

Cocolia looked at the information she had obtained a year ago and fell into deep thought.

"...It seems that in your mind, Shirley is your real name. But in fact, I should call you Kiana Kaslana, right?"

Cocolia chuckled, looking at the girl's silver hair and blue eyes on the screen, comparing it to another picture of the girl with purple hair and purple eyes.

Obviously, except for the hair and pupils, they look exactly the same. Moreover, the appearance of silver hair and blue eyes is enough to prove her other identity.

The descendants of the Kaslana family...

Thinking of this, Cocolia's eyes gradually became cold.

"It seems that is your true appearance. Your eye and hair color changed to purple. It should be the effect of some kind of biochip they implanted in your brain... And now, since the effect of the biochip has been lifted, you are still working for Tesla. Could it be that your memory has been washed away by that bastard? Or is this actually your own wish...?"

Cocolia couldn't help but clench her fists. Although Kiana Kaslana was the daughter of her enemy, by some strange coincidence, that girl also became her child...

"Anyway, since you are already my daughter, I won't let you be manipulated by those guys! Just wait, Shirley. One day, I will rescue you!"

After making the decision, she took a breath, suppressed the urge to go to war with the conservatives directly, and sat down in the chair.

"Forget it, we can talk about this later. The current issue is the seizure of ownership of ME. As long as Raiden Ryoma falls, those ignorant board members will be easy to deal with..."

Thinking of this, her mood began to improve. In any case, she finally had a chance to remove the thorn in her side and take over the other party's property. How could she not be happy?

As long as the plan goes smoothly, once he controls those useless boards of directors of ME, all the power of Anti-Entropy in the Far East will also be under his name.

"This way, we'll be one step closer to our goal..."

Cocolia muttered to herself as she casually closed the data board in front of her. Suddenly she remembered something and called up another document on the terminal. Looking at the words right above the screen, Cocolia's face became gloomy again.

x–10 Experiment…

The ultimate goal of this experiment is to use Honkai energy to interfere with genes and completely fuse the two. The artificial creation of a true "Valkyrie" is the ultimate goal of this experiment.

However, this is only a theoretical assumption. In reality, this experiment is full of difficulties and has failed no less than ten times. And every time it fails, the participants

None of the children in the experiment survived.

For this reason, Cocolia herself did not want this experiment to be carried out, however, under the decision of her superiors, she did not have the right to refuse the mission.

After dozens of failed experiments, the list of candidate experimental subjects, which had become empty, was now filled with complete information.

Cocolia casually clicked it, and a picture of a girl appeared in the drop-down box. Her long purple hair was mixed with a little pink, and below was her detailed introduction...

The first line of information reads:

The first candidate of the x-10 experiment, Xing Mal.

The experiment had not made any progress for two years, and now, according to orders from the higher-ups, it had to be accelerated.

The time for the experiment has been set at six months later.

"Xing... If it were you, as a natural stigma bearer, your success rate would be much higher, and probably more sacrifices could be avoided."

Cocolia muttered to herself, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

"Shiris, do you...really want this to happen?"

At this moment, the image of a purple-haired girl flashed through her mind again. Cocolia sighed softly, raised her hand and pushed, closing the light screen in front of her.

"But the deadline is almost here... Looks like there's nothing we can do about it?"

(But... at least before that, I will fulfill your wish and let you see her again! Xing.)

Thinking of this, Cocolia gently closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and began to think about a certain girl again.

beep...

The voice of the communicator suddenly rang out. Cocolia looked at the screen that appeared in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid her emotions and pressed the answer button with an indifferent expression.

"What do you want? Fenrir..."

The person who appeared on the screen was the executor who had reached an agreement with her. Cocolia was somewhat concerned that the other party's face seemed to be a bit sickly pale, which was somewhat similar to the symptoms of excessive blood loss. Moreover, the tiredness in her eyes could not be concealed at all.

"You don't look very well... Are you sick? You should take good care of yourself, Miss Fenrir."

Cocolia pretended to be concerned, but her expression did not change. After all, her relationship with the other party was quite delicate.

If I had to describe it, I would say they are collaborators with their own ulterior motives.

"Cocolia, the combat capability of your troops should be at the top level among the Anti-Entropy Executors, right?"

"..."

What Cocolia didn't expect was that the other party didn't respond to her words at all. At this moment, the girl's words were out of character and straightforward.

"I need your help."

Fenrir opened his eyes, an inexplicable light flashed in his bloodshot eyes, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

Cocolia's pupils shrank, and her eyes immediately returned to their normal smile.

"Oh...? I'm surprised you would ask me for help so directly, but..."

"Don't rush to refuse. This is certainly not free. I have the news you want to know..."

Fenrir interrupted Cocolia's words directly, and a trace of impatience appeared in her tired eyes. She had no intention of testing Cocolia at the moment.

"Silis Kaslana."

"...!"

Fenrir keenly caught the astonishment that flashed across Cocolia's eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile appearing on his tired face.

"I know, you want to know her information, right? I won't ask for your help for nothing. This is a deal. If you agree, I will tell you everything!"

144 Another Transaction

Hearing Fenrir's solemn promise, Cocolia was surprised, but she managed to calm herself down and looked at Fenrir on the screen with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Everything you know...? Is it about Shirley? Sorry, I don't want to doubt you, but I still want to confirm whether your source of information is reliable."

It must be said that this condition was enough to tempt Cocolia. Although she didn't know what this guy wanted to do, it was obvious that Fenrir did have many unknown means.

"Don't worry, I saw what happened this time with my own eyes. You probably don't know yet, right? The conservatives are fighting with the Destiny for the ruins."

"What……?"

Hearing this, Cocolia was immediately shocked. The struggle within Anti-Entropy was extremely serious. It was common in Anti-Entropy for the two factions to have completely independent information and not be known by the other party.

For Cocolia, this kind of thing is commonplace. During the second collapse more than a decade ago, the conservatives also concealed it from her and joined forces with the destiny to kill Xilin...

"To show my sincerity, I will give you a picture first. This is a completely natural shot without any modification~"

As the red-haired girl in the video was talking, Cocolia received a jpg file from the other party.

No need to play tricks, Cocolia directly activated the reading function and opened the picture file.

Cocolia recognized it at a glance. The girl in the picture was the one she was looking for! Although she was much older than the girl in her memory, Cocolia was sure that she was the Shilis she knew.

"This is definitely Shilis... Wait! That's...?!"

But the next moment, Cocolia's pupils slightly widened in surprise because she saw a similar silver-haired girl on the other side of the photo!

"I captured this at the last minute, even though I almost got myself into trouble..."

Fenrir said casually, but Kokolia didn't listen to her anymore. Instead, she focused her eyes on the picture in front of her. Although the picture was a little blurry, it was still clear that the two silver-haired girls, who looked exactly the same, were fighting each other. The flaming giant sword held by one of the girls was obviously the Seventh God Key, the Holy Fire Judgement. The other silver-haired girl was using a distorted energy, just like space...

(There are actually two Shirleys?! In other words... the truth is not what I thought? The other one is Kiana Kaslana? But what is Shirleys' identity? ...)

After discovering that Shirley was not Kiana, Cocolia realized how ridiculous her previous guess was.

(So, the one who used the Holy Fire Judgement was Kiana, and the one who used that kind of distorted energy was Shiris... Wait, this should be the ability of space? Could it be...?! No, this is a bit far-fetched, but...)

According to the data, the one who mastered the spatial ability was the second Herrscher, Sirin. That girl also used this ability, could it be that...

Although this guess was overturned by Cocolia the moment it was made, when she thought of the girl who made her feel close for some reason, Cocolia began to doubt her own judgment again.

(Is it really you? My Xilin... But you were clearly killed. How could you come back to life in real life...)

It must be said that for Cocolia, the amount of information contained in this photo is too much. She stared at the picture in front of her for a long time, and for a moment she was completely lost in thought...

——Snap…

At this moment, the sound of clapping from the communication suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Cocolia raised her head and looked at Fenrir in front of her, with a look of deep doubt in her eyes.

"Okay, I've already said it all. I already know a lot about them. As long as you agree to help me, I will tell you everything! After all... on this point, our interests are the same."

"Hmph... You should have received a lot of information a long time ago, but you only told me now. Is it because you can't handle it by yourself?"

Cocolia came back to her senses, looked at Fenrir in the image, and couldn't help but sneer, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"You seem to be seriously injured... I know how strong Shirley is. Kiana can master the Holy Fire Judgement, so she can't be that weak. You can actually fight with them, you are worthy of being the Valkyrie from five hundred years ago..."

Facing Cocolia's words, which were either praise or sarcasm, Fenrir did not show any emotion. Because she knew that although Cocolia was a little dissatisfied with her previous concealment, she would definitely agree to it.

"Don't worry about such trivial matters... Although I don't know why they fought, and I don't know what the final outcome of the battle was, it is obvious that they did not kill each other. We just need to follow this clue and we can find them! Your target is the so-called Shirley, right? And I'm looking for Kiana who is beside Siegfried. So, we can definitely cooperate with each other."
