K424 of the Collapse World

"What did you do to her?"

Lan Feng interrupted Xi'er's words directly, with a little anxiety in his tone. Lan Feng had not expected this situation. All signs showed that the spy lady had met with an accident, but the most suspicious Xi'er said that she was still alive...

(Damn it…are you trying to use her to threaten me? But, I have no idea what the situation is…is Yuri really alive?)

Lan Feng's face gradually darkened as she thought about it. At this moment, she thought of the cartoons and TV dramas she had seen in her previous life, where many people were willing to give up resistance in order to protect their friends who were captured by the villains, and were defeated by the villains who were originally weaker than themselves. Was she going to follow in their footsteps today?

Thinking of this, Lan Feng lowered her head and clenched her teeth as she thought. In fact, she had a bold plan, but she was still hesitating whether to implement it.

Finally, as if she had made a decision, she trembled slightly on her right hand which was wearing a black ring...

On the other side, Hill kept smiling, but her kind smile seemed a little ironic to Lan Feng...

However, Hill did not see the abnormal reaction of the silver-haired girl. He just breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the big tree behind Lan Feng. When he was hiding his whereabouts, he also brought the woman who followed him all the way to the tree. Now, she should still be left in the crown of the tree.

"Where is she? Haha...won't you know if you look back above yourself?"

Hill said with a smile, thinking that she had finally solved a problem. Thinking that the identity of this mysterious girl would be revealed next, she was a little excited...

"…Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Eh……?"

The girl's cold voice interrupted Hill's thoughts. She looked at the silver-haired girl blankly. Just as she was about to ask something, she felt a sudden chill on her back! She turned around and swung the sickle subconsciously without even thinking about it. The black mist attached to it dissipated as the sickle was swung, colliding with a blue beam that came at her instantly!

The seemingly powerless black mist in the shape of light smoke directly blocked the surging energy torrent, causing it to deviate from its original trajectory. It brushed past Hill's waist by a millimeter and hit the ground on her left side. The exploding energy wave tore the earth apart, raised the dust, and scattered it into the sky. The surroundings were suddenly shrouded in smoke and dust.

Xier's head was covered in sweat. She had just retracted her sickle and was about to say something when a stream of light suddenly tore through the smoke and dust and rushed towards her in front of her slightly contracted pupils...

"Do you think I will be fooled? Regardless of whether Yuli is still alive or not, at least she is not with you! As long as we subdue you here first, even if you have accomplices, they may use you as a bargaining chip!"

As Lan Feng spoke, she slowly put down the hand that had thrown the crystal javelin. She could sense that the crystal javelin stopped in mid-air, and it had obviously hit the opponent. Now, all she had to do was beat her until she had no ability to resist, and then catch her. In Lan Feng's opinion, she was just an empty shell of a Herrscher who had lost her core. How powerful could she be? Could she destroy the world?

"Sister Shilis!"

"Don't let your guard down! Kiana, that's the Sixth Herrscher mentioned in the intelligence. This level of attack won't be enough to defeat her!"

Hearing the familiar girl's voice, Lan Feng shouted across the smoke. Not long ago, she spotted Kiana approaching through the photon eyepiece, and used the ring's attack marking system to lock on Hill. After receiving the order, Kiana, a member of the team, took out the Eleudnir she had brought back with her at the beginning, aimed at the girl who was confronting Hillis, and directly fired a zero-charge artillery, which led to what happened later...

"Yeah! I understand."

On the other side of the smoke, Kiana was holding Eleudnir in the cannon state, responding to Lan Feng's words while staring at the gradually dissipating smoke. She thought for a moment, then pressed a key on the handle of the heavy cannon, and Eleudnir returned to the shape of a cross.

Kiana stuck Elyudnir into the ground, grabbed the blue hilt from the deformed and unfolded upper end of the cross, and was about to pull out the imitation spirit sword placed in it, but her thin eyebrows slightly frowned.

She could feel that the Honkai energy reaction in the smoke and dust suddenly became rapidly weak and then disappeared completely!

"Sister Shilis, she..."

Just as Kiana was about to say something, Lan Feng's angry voice came over.

"Damn it! What a mistake... I didn't expect she actually has such ability?"

The girl's figure did not appear in the gradually fading smoke.

Lan Feng gritted his teeth, looking at the thin black smoke mixed with the dust and going away, his face becoming more gloomy.

She took a long breath and forced herself to calm down. At this time, the smoke and dust raised by the bombardment had completely dissipated, and Kiana came over carrying a huge cross, lowering her head in shame.

"I'm sorry... Sister Shilis, if I had discovered it earlier..."

Lan Feng waved his hand, closed his eyes gently, and concentrated his mind on perception.

"It's not your fault, and...she can't run away!"

The crystal javelin thrown before obviously injured the opponent. A small amount of Honkai penetrated into the opponent's body through the wound. Lan Feng could temporarily sense the opponent's approximate position!

"Hmph, I found it!"

Lan Feng opened his eyes, a cruel smile appeared on his lips. Just as Lan Feng was about to lead Kiana to sprint in one direction, she suddenly stopped, turned around with a look of astonishment, and looked at a willow tree behind her...

In the previous battle, she had focused all her perception on Hill. After the other party left, Lan Feng expanded her perception as usual. However, the next moment, she found that there was a weak human reaction above and behind her!

Lan Feng jumped onto the treetops almost without stopping, fumbled among the branches for a few times, and pulled out a woman who was in a coma...

"Yuri?!"

Lan Feng was slightly startled, and as he looked at the woman who was holding this child, whose body was covered in blood but without any wounds, he fell into a brief daze...

Kiana looked at the dazed Lan Feng and tilted her head in confusion. But Lan Feng didn't have time to pay attention to Kiana. The corners of her mouth twitched, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Could it be, could it be... that sentence she said before... that I should know by looking at my back, turned out to be..."

Lan Feng whispered to himself. After thinking everything through, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. His expression, which was filled with anger before, instantly wilted, replaced by a kind of entanglement and embarrassment...

163 Secrets

On a hill far away from the jungle, a few wisps of light black mist mixed in the breeze and gradually gathered between a pile of rocks. As time went by, more and more black mist intertwined together, forming a human shape, which gradually solidified...

“Ouch… cough cough…”

The black mist faded away, and the black-haired girl collapsed on the ground, staring blankly at the piercing wound on her chest. Blood gushed out from the wound, staining her coat red. In just a few seconds, the dripping crimson had gathered into a pool under her body, and it was still expanding.

She curled up her body trembling, trying to relieve the pain of the wound, but the movement pulled the injured part and she gasped in pain.

"What the hell is that guy doing?!"

Thinking of the sudden attack she had just suffered, the girl bit her lip and sat on the ground, indifferent. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of grievance in her heart, and before she knew it, a little mist had already appeared in her beautiful blue eyes...

Just like that time, the silver-haired man didn't listen to her explanation at all and shot himself in the head without hesitation. Therefore, she fell asleep for a whole era and woke up in the next civilization.

However, after coming back to life, she almost died at the hands of another silver-haired girl, also a member of the Kaslana family, who also attacked without listening to others.

"Indeed... I was the one who hurt her in the beginning, but how could you not listen to others and just... You are exactly like that bastard... Ugh!"

The girl choked up and muttered to herself, leaning back angrily, leaning her back against the rock. But this action once again touched the wound that ran through her body, causing her whole body to spasm slightly in pain...

She gasped and straightened her body. Although the penetrating wound looked very serious, Hill actually didn't care about this level of wound. Because the more serious injury was to her heart...

She sat there in silence for a long time. At this time, the flowing blood had gathered into a pool like a small spring, seeping into the rocks on the surface, and even dyed them red. The girl finally came to her senses. She raised her head and looked at the orange-red morning sun. The warm sunlight sprinkled on her slightly pale face, but it could not stop her expression from gradually freezing.

"Haha, is it a misunderstanding? Never mind... it's all my own fault. I was the one who hurt that young lady anyway..."

Hill gently closed her eyes. At this moment, a soft white light bloomed from her chest, forming a light cocoon that filled her wound. After a while, the wound that was bleeding was completely healed.

Hill lowered his head, looking at the bloodstains around the repaired white skin, and sighed softly. The attack of that Shilis was completely different from that of Xing Maer. The wounds eroded by her Honkai energy could no longer be transformed into energy and returned to the body. Therefore, she had to use the power of creation to restore her body.

Yes, although she was indeed injured, she could still repair herself. The energy that could reverse death was used to repair such a small wound, and the cost was almost negligible.

Hill supported

The rock slowly stood up. Although the power of creation completely restored her body to its original state and swept away her fatigue, she had no energy at this moment, and her sluggish body was like that of an old man in his twilight years.

Recalling the girl with silver hair and blue eyes, Hill clenched her hand into a fist expressionlessly. The rock she was holding broke directly, and the part in her hand was instantly crushed into powder...

"Even if it's just a misunderstanding, you can't just let it go... Isn't that right, Shirley...? But for me, misunderstandings don't make any difference~"

Hill gently loosened her hand. She looked at the exposed skin under the torn clothes stained with blood on her chest, frowned slightly, grabbed her coat and pulled up the zipper.

"So first and foremost..."

She murmured, looking towards a group of buildings at the end of the jungle in the distance.

"As long as I have my own stigmata back, I won't be afraid of a fellow like you!"

At the same time, somewhere inside the jungle, Lan Feng laid the unconscious woman flat on the ground, squatted on the ground, and carefully checked her physical condition.

Kiana stood aside holding the cross, watching Lan Feng's actions quietly. Although she didn't quite understand what happened, she basically understood what happened based on the situation at the scene and her sister's reaction.

It seems that I and Shirley hit the wrong person...

"…There are no external injuries on his body, and there is nothing wrong with his internal body tissues. Apart from some weakness caused by excessive blood loss, his coma is only due to excessive fatigue. And…"

Lan Feng spoke softly. She looked at the blood on Yuli's body and her expression turned a little ugly.

"But this blood is undoubtedly Yuli's. This amount of bleeding... obviously, she must have been seriously injured not long ago. However, she does not have any external injuries on her body at this moment..."

Thinking of the scene where the black-haired girl repaired his shoulder with white light, Lan Feng's expression turned bitter.

"That is to say... she wasn't the murderer at all. Instead, it was Hill who saved Yuli after she was injured. But I..."

Thinking of this, Lan Feng sat down in a daze, feeling an indescribable sense of blockage in his heart. Various complex emotions were mixed together, but the most common one was guilt.

Lan Feng felt like he had just returned home and opened the door to find a group of thieves. He then beat them up, only to find out that they were actually his friends who had come to celebrate his birthday...

She really didn't know what to do now. The other party had obviously saved Yuli, but she beat him up without thinking twice and almost took his life. If she didn't do this, no matter how good her character was, she couldn't easily swallow this anger.

Should I go and apologize? However, after wasting so much time, she could no longer track down Hill's location. It was obvious that he had left here long ago.

"Sister Shilis, did we really...hit the wrong person just now?"

Kiana looked at Lan Feng's conflicted expression, tried to move forward two steps, put her hand on Lan Feng's shoulder, wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that she didn't know what to say.

After all, they were the perpetrators now. Kiana was also not used to this situation and was at a loss for a moment.

“That’s right…! What should I do now… This is really a complete mess…”

At this moment, Lan Feng felt nothing but guilt towards the black-haired girl. He had just beaten her away, but now he didn't even have the chance to apologize...

Because of this incident, Yuli's joy at being safe and sound was also greatly dissipated. Just like that, the two silver-haired girls stayed where they were without saying a word.

Suddenly, Lan Feng seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head abruptly, turned over and sat up, startling Kiana who was beside him.

"Oh, there's still hope!"

(That’s right… since she came to Okhotsk, that means… she must have something to do with Seele. So… if we go to the Kokolia Orphanage and find Seele, we can find out where she is!)

Thinking of this, Lan Feng temporarily suppressed the guilt in his heart and let out a long breath. Although he didn't know whether the other party would forgive him, he shouldn't waste his time in a daze.

But before that...

"Sister Shilis, you...?"

"We should go, Kiana. Let's take Yuri back first, and meet up with Claire and the others to discuss the next steps."

163 Secrets >>

Lan Feng said as he gently picked up the girl in front of him. Although it seemed a little strange for her to hold an adult with her young girl's body, Lan Feng didn't care about it. With a question mark on her face, he returned to the direction of the town...

·————————————·

·——————————

Okhotsk, Russia...

"Claire, are you really going to do this? I think... this is not a good idea..."

Sora sat in the passenger seat, looking at the girl in front of him with a worried look, trying to dissuade her. To her right, Claire sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with a serious look on her face.

"I think we should do this! Shiris left in such a hurry, something must have happened. Kiana also went straight after her, we can't just do nothing, right? Listen Sora, I need you to help me find the direction, I'm not very good at reading maps."

Claire said, recalling how Kiana had driven the car before, and reached for the key in the car...

"Wait! Claire, I suggest you don't do anything rash. Didn't Shiris tell us to stay where we are before she left? Are you really planning to act on your own?"

Lin put one hand on the car window next to Claire, and looked at Claire who got into the car with a mixture of anger and laughter.

When Kiana was driving, the seat raiser and the accelerator pad were not removed. Claire had to curl up her whole body in the narrow driver's seat, just like an adult forced to sit on a children's electric car. It looked really weird.

"But didn't you just follow them, Lin? Aren't you worried that something might happen to them? In this situation, shouldn't we go and help? Don't forget that the Sixth Herrscher might also appear. Are you really going to just sit there and do nothing?"

"..."

Lin was stunned by Claire's words, not knowing how to refute. In fact, she chose to come here because she felt that she should fulfill her duty as a Valkyrie and contribute to stopping the Herrscher. She originally planned to follow Shiris's words and wait on the spot, but now it seems that they may have discovered the trace of the Sixth Herrscher. She probably ran over so anxiously just now because she discovered that Herrscher...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"What do you think? Lin... I don't believe you won't worry about them. Even if it's the Sixth Herrscher, are you afraid?"

Seeing Lin's hesitation, Claire smiled slightly, reached out and grasped the key in the car, as if she had grasped the victory of the argument in her own hands.

“I know what you want to say. Indeed… even if we add up our strength, we are not as strong as either Shirley or Kiana. However, being able to do it and being willing to do it are two different things. Are you really willing to watch the impending disaster without taking any action, Valkyrie—Lin?!”

Claire whispered as she turned the key of the truck. The old and dilapidated truck engine made a weak whine and finally managed to ignite. Seeing this, Claire couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and then revealed a confident smile.

"I believe you have made your choice, right? Lin... Let's go together and help Shilis and the others to defeat the Sixth Herrscher!"

Looking at Claire who was full of momentum, Lin was silent for a while and shook her head.

"I almost got tricked by you, Claire."

"……Eh?"

Looking at Claire whose expression froze instantly, Lin sighed, opened the car door directly, and pulled out Claire who was curled up in the driver's seat.

"Indeed, I did say that I would fulfill my duty as a Valkyrie, and used this as an excuse to let Shiris take us with her. But, before that, what we should do is obey orders!"
