K424 of the Collapse World

As she thought, Kiana looked carefully at the girl in front of her. Through the gap in her clothes, she was shocked to find that the old wounds on Shirley's body were beyond imagination! Although those scars had been removed, only some almost indistinguishable marks remained. But at a close distance, with her eyesight enhanced by Honkai energy, she could see some subtle differences.

Kiana clearly discovered that although Shirley's skin was smooth, there were some whiter streaks crisscrossing in some places. It was completely impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye, but Kiana could see that the surrounding skin was obviously older than these streaks.

146 Let me see it~>>

In other words, those were all new skin. So, those densely packed fine lines on the girl's body were actually once terrible scars...

Kiana couldn't imagine what kind of experience had caused such an injury. Although it had completely healed without even a scar left, seeing this made Kiana feel distressed...

Perhaps, what I had experienced in Tianming was nothing compared to what Shilis had gone through...

Kiana couldn't help but think so. She stared blankly at Lan Feng's exposed skin and began to be a little dazed until Lan Feng gently tapped her forehead.

"Kiana, what are you still looking at? Do you still want to do that to me?"

Lan Feng said this, pretending to be a little scared and covering his chest with his hands, then moving back slightly.

"No, Sister Shilis, what's wrong with you..."

"Okay, okay, don't mention this anymore. I haven't been seriously injured. Let's forget about what happened just now... Speaking of which, Kiana, how did you spend the time before I came back?"

Lan Feng pulled Kiana and sat back on the bed. She asked casually, trying to divert the girl's attention. Lan Feng did remember that she had been seriously injured. In addition to the time when she was chopped by the sickle of the assassin, she also used her body to withstand part of the shock wave of the nuclear explosion when she was protecting "Kiana". During that period of time, her body seemed to have been tortured, and was full of scars left after the wounds were repaired.

But now, those scars have basically disappeared. Qiana didn't know these things, and Lan Feng didn't intend to tell her. So, she hastily changed the subject at this time.

"During this period of time... I have been staying in the ME Club, living with Sister Claire and the others."

Listening carefully to Lan Feng's question, Kiana thought for a moment and then answered very seriously. In fact, because of what she had just done, Kiana felt guilty towards the girl in front of her and did not realize that the topic had been diverted to another side by Lan Feng.

Hearing this, Lan Feng's expression slightly changed, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

"Oh~~ Then what do you think of Sister Claire? What's your impression of her?"

Hearing Lan Feng's words, the girl with short beige hair appeared in Kiana's mind. Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Well... Sister Claire may look silly and often mess things up, but she's actually a very good person. She takes good care of me and I like her very much. Besides, the other members of this team treat me very well too... So, Sister Shiris, I'm really happy that you're willing to accept them into your organization..."

Kiana said softly, recalling some things before, her eyes were full of tenderness. Seeing this, Lan Feng couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, Kiana... I think I know who you learned this behavior from."

Lan Feng said with some amusement, then turned his gaze towards the door.

"...?"

Hearing this, Kiana tilted her head in some surprise, but before she could say anything, Lan Feng's slightly raised voice came over.

"Okay, those of you standing at the door, how long are you going to stay here? Come in, the door is not locked."

Following Lan Feng's voice, there was a slight commotion behind the door. Kiana was slightly startled, and after refocusing her attention, she realized that there were indeed a few familiar people standing behind the door.

Lan Feng was not distracted like Kiana at this time. Before the people outside came to the door, she had already determined that a Valkyrie was approaching based on the weak Honkai energy. And based on the Valkyries in the ME Club at this time, there was no need to guess who the person was.

As the door was gently pushed open, Claire walked in slowly with a complicated expression on her face. Behind her, several other Valkyries were also there.

"Well, Ms. Hillis, I definitely didn't teach her such a strange thing..."

Before Lan Feng could say anything, Claire made an embarrassed excuse. She didn't want to be blamed for "teaching Kiana badly", after all, Kiana's nominal mother was standing right here.

However, when Claire and the others saw the torn dress on Lan Feng, their eyes immediately became strange...

"Um...Excuse me...?"

"Hmm? Anything wrong~!"

"No, nothing..."

Claire was about to ask something, but she backed off under Lan Feng's threatening smile.

Seeing this, Lan Feng's smile returned to its previous gentleness.

"Welcome... Claire Shaniat, you should have heard it just now, right? It seems that Kiana thinks highly of you..."

Lan Feng covered his mouth and chuckled, thinking that everything Kiana said just now was heard, and even a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

"Hey... Claire, and everyone, you're all here..."

Looking at Claire with a complicated expression, Kiana suddenly felt a little embarrassed. So, Claire heard everything she said just now...

"Kiana, I...I'm so stupid and I'm so sorry for messing up easily..."

Claire said to Kiana unhappily, then she suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at her familiar teammates.

"Wait... do you think so too?"

Following Claire's voice, the three Valkyries behind her, except Lin, slightly turned their eyes away. Although they didn't say anything, Claire already knew the answer...

"Lin~~ You are the best after all..."

“Ah… hehe…”

Lin, who was suddenly hugged by Claire, looked helpless. In fact, she was just a little hesitant about whether she should say those hurtful words.

Seeing this, Lillian and Sora started discussing quietly.

"Ah... I feel so sorry for Lin. She's probably the one who has the biggest complaints about Claire's personality."

Claire suddenly heard something, so she turned her head slightly and looked at the two people behind her.

"Lillian, did you say anything just now?"

"Well, we were just discussing what to have for dinner today..."

……

Lan Feng watched their interaction with a smile, but did not interrupt. Her eyes swept through the Valkyries present one by one, and when she saw Elena at the back, her eyes became slightly serious.

Lan Feng only knew the names of the other Valkyries present, but he was not familiar with them. However, as a friend who had lived with him for a period of time, Lan Feng knew Elena better. At this moment, Lan Feng looked at Elena's right hand that was replaced by a mechanical arm, and couldn't wait to know what had happened to her in the past two years.

At this time, Elena also noticed Lan Feng's gaze, so she smiled and looked back. Although her expression was indifferent, like an ordinary quiet girl, Lan Feng saw a touch of sadness and emptiness in her eyes...

Lan Feng's heart was startled for a moment. She waved at Elena secretly without attracting other people's attention, approached the door, and stood beside Elena.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to say hello properly just now. It's been a long time... Elena."

Lan Feng whispered softly, looking at this familiar yet strange old friend, she could already guess what happened to him...

147 Unnecessary Suspicion

Changkong City, evening...

In the president's office at the ME headquarters, Raiden Ryoma sat on a chair, silently browsing the day's experimental report. Because he was an extremely rigorous person, even though he spent a lot of time dealing with Tesla and Shiris's affairs that day, he did not give up the work he had to do that day.

Originally, he had returned home to accompany his daughter Mei at this time, but with his strong self-discipline, he still stayed in the company and worked overtime on his own initiative.

——Bang, bang!

"come in."

Hearing the sudden knock on the door, Lei Dian Longma said without raising his head that his assistant had already left work at this time, so Lei Dian Longma did not lock the door of his office at all, so as to avoid having to open the door himself.

"Is the president's work so busy? It seems that there is a reason why you will become the richest person in Anti-Entropy..."

As the doorknob turned slightly, the girl with green curly hair pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Raiden Ryuma working at the desk, she couldn't help but exclaimed and then walked over.

"Einstein

Sir, you are not with Dr. Tesla?"

When Einstein walked to the desk, Raiden Ryoma finally raised his head and looked at Einstein with interest. He asked casually without mentioning the spy. To him, what happened today was just a small episode. After all, as the president of ME, he had experienced countless plots by others and was used to it.

"Dr. Tesla is still resting. I didn't wake her up. Her physical strength is not as good as that of the 'Third Herrscher' Shiris. After such a long journey, her physical strength must have been completely overdrawn."

Einstein replied calmly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She sighed softly and stopped talking about this matter.

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask you before, how is the investigation of the spy going? Has he not leaked any secrets of the organization?"

Hearing Einstein's question, Raiden Ryoma was a little embarrassed. He sacrificed his time with Mei at night just to complete the work for the day. He couldn't understand why these guys liked to interrupt his work so much?

"Dr. Einstein, I'm still working, can I..."

"No."

Einstein said without hesitation. She looked at the helpless Raiden Ryoma who had to stop working, and a hint of tenderness appeared on her indifferent face. She made a V sign and sat directly on another chair not far away, looking at the Raiden Ryoma opposite again.

"Mr. President, if you are too obsessed with work and don't pay attention to rest, you will easily suffer from Alzheimer's disease."

"Dr. Einstein, is this your own life experience?"

Einstein rolled his eyes at Raiden Ryoma's nonchalant joke, sighed, and spoke again.

"Besides... those experimental reports are already quite complete. There is absolutely no need for you to personally confirm them one by one..."

However, in response to his colleague's advice, Raiden Ryoma said nothing, but just showed an intriguing smile.

Seeing this, Einstein was slightly stunned, then shook his head and gave a helpless smile.

"Okay, I'm really sorry... This is your business, and I shouldn't say too much..."

"It doesn't matter."

Thunder Dragon Horse waved his hand, stretched his stiff shoulders, and turned off the electronic display beside him. It seemed that his work today would need to be delayed a little.

As colleagues who are executors, we don't see each other often, so let's take this opportunity to chat for a while. Besides, it's just one day's work, and it's easy to make up for it later.

Thinking of this, Raiden Ryoma decided to be a pigeon for once.

"You are already old, but you are still as willful as a child... Forget it, Dr. Einstein, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Raiden Ryoma said helplessly. Although he was a man with a wife and daughter, he was only considered a youngster in front of the blue-haired girl.

"Since you know I'm an elderly person, how about you just accommodate me a little? Actually, there's nothing important. I'm just a little bored and want to chat with you about something trivial."

Einstein didn't care about Raiden Ryoma's sarcasm and remained indifferent. She thought about it for a moment and then brought up the question that had not been answered just now.

"You haven't told me yet what the spy's purpose is?"

Hearing this, Raiden Ryoma sighed softly, thought about his findings from checking the database before, and then answered Einstein's question.

"He modified the transaction vouchers between ME and some international organizations, and the modified parts were used to frame me. It was the first time, and there was nothing else. According to Ms. Shiris, the man should be from Cocolia, so he did this."

"But why did she do this? Although there have been minor frictions between the two factions in recent years, this is a bit too much, right? Cocolia... is she planning to do something?"

Einstein frowned and spoke in a low voice. Suddenly she thought of something and raised her head.

"By the way, did you get any information from the terminal chip on the spy?"

Thinking of the storage chip that was completely peeled out by Shiris, Einstein immediately asked Raiden Ryoma.

"As for that thing, I'm worried that the program inside it may have some kind of protection system, so I'll put it aside for now. This kind of thing should be left to experts in this field. Tomorrow, I will ask Dr. Tesla to decipher this thing."

As Lei Dian Long Ma said this, he casually took out the chip of the spy terminal. He didn't believe that there would be no information protection program on an agent's communicator.

"That's right. When Tesla is well rested tomorrow, I will bring her to you."

"That's the best. I don't want to alert Cocolia too early. Before we figure out her purpose, it's best for her to think that her plan has succeeded."

Raiden Ryoma said with a sneer. Hearing this, Einstein was slightly startled, and then he knew what the president was going to do.

"Are you planning to

"Excuse me... this may affect the normal operation of the me company."

Raiden Ryoma could not deny Einstein's concerns, but he had already made the decision.

"It's okay. Compared to a small amount of damage, an enemy lurking in the dark should obviously be taken more seriously. Speaking of which, I'll need your help later on regarding this matter."

"So, can you tell me what it is?"

Einstein asked casually. It must be said that she was also concerned about the other party's decision. After all, whether it was Einstein herself or her partner Tesla, the companies they ran had some kind of connection with the me company. If something happened to the me company, they would not end well.

"Haha... There's no rush for this. Let's talk about it later. Dr. Einstein, actually, there's one thing I don't quite understand."

Suddenly remembering what happened that afternoon, Raiden Ryoma softly interrupted Einstein's question.

"Why did you allow Cialis to be monitored along with those Valkyries? Are you doubting her?"

“…This is just a necessary precaution.”

Einstein fell silent for a long time before he spoke. Seeing this, Raiden Ryoma also looked helpless.

"It's been two years, right? You should have known her earlier than I did. Let me make it clear first, I don't think she has any ulterior motives."
