K424 of the Collapse World

Thinking of the gloomy look in the girl's eyes when she left, Xi'er couldn't help but clench her teeth and lower her head slightly. Thinking of this scene, her guilt intensified.

Resisting the urge to chase after him, she slowly sat down against the wall and covered her eyes with her hands.

Due to the connection between the Honkai energy, she can still sense the existence of that person. Obviously, based on the feedback, the other party has not gone far.

She knew that she would definitely be able to catch up if she chased after him now, but she couldn't do that because she had to do something else...

Looking at the slender white fingers that did not belong to her, she lowered her head, and a vicissitude that was inconsistent with her age appeared on her young face.

"When did I become so naive... She's just a little girl with the same name and similar appearance as her... Never mind, humans are just like that."

After a long moment, she sneered, then opened her eyes, slowly turned her head and looked at Xing who was lying unconscious in the corner.

"It's getting a little late... Although I'm not happy about it, it's time to tidy up the scene a bit."

Shaking her head to dispel the thoughts in her mind, she refocused her attention on the present. Indeed, this unique perception ability that belonged to each other could only bring her greater pain at this moment. It would be better to be frank and give up this time and wait for the next meeting.

She sighed, and walked straight to the corner where Xing was, reached out and grabbed Xing's belt, and casually tucked her under her armpits like she was carrying a sack, and walked towards the stairwell.

"I remember that Xing's room seemed to be... somewhere? Forget it... I can just throw it to the training ground one floor underground. Really, I have to let go of this biggest hidden danger... But if I really attack her, that guy will probably be sad..."

She walked around the corner listlessly, and with the help of Honkai energy, she easily grabbed a girl of the same age and walked down the stairs.

Looking down at the unconscious Xing, "Xier" sighed.

"For the sake of Shirley, I'll let you go this time... But if you still harbor ill will towards Xi'er when I'm about to leave, I'll have no choice but to take action..."

She muttered, her eyes starting to go blank.

"Xi'er... I don't know why so many people are coveting you, but as long as I'm here..."

When passing the first stairwell, her dull red eyes suddenly became sharp.

She opened her other hand without hesitation, and the faint light turned into a dark blue giant sickle in her hand. She swung it sideways at the shadow that suddenly appeared at the corner...

But the sickle stopped in mid-air just before it was chopped down. There was nothing in front of it, but it seemed to be completely frozen...

"What an amazing perception ability! I was still invisible, but I was discovered so easily... How did you do it?"

On the side of the sickle, a wave of electric arcs began to flicker, and a short figure in black slowly emerged in the stairwell...

A small hand wearing a black tactical glove, like a pair of pliers, firmly grasped the handle of the sickle and

She was completely fixed in mid-air, not caring about the sickle blade that almost touched her neck.

The next moment, the silver-white hair that was blown by the wind slowly calmed down, and purple light particles mixed in it floated out. The blue photon eyepiece covering her eyes was removed, and there was a smile in her blue eyes, and her expression did not seem nervous at all.

"Why, don't you recognize me now?"

As Lan Feng spoke, he tilted his head slightly, looked at "Xier" who had a slightly surprised expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Long time no see, Xier... No, should I call you Miss Stigmata?"

She spoke softly, and when she felt that the force applied to the sickle had been completely removed, she loosened her hand that was holding the sickle blade and allowed "Xier" to retract the sickle.

"You are... Shiris?! But... why do you have silver hair and blue eyes? Why... did you come back suddenly? What happened to you?"

Xier lowered the sickle blade and placed it behind her, and asked impatiently. She was sure that the person in front of her was the girl she knew, but her appearance was slightly different from before. For example: eye color and hair color.

The person that she just thought of suddenly appeared in front of her. Xier couldn't help but sigh that fate was really unpredictable.

"Well... it's not an important question. Anyway, you normally wouldn't occupy Seele's body, but now that you are controlling this body, something must have happened, right? And, what's going on with Xing?"

Lan Feng asked back, her eyes full of confusion as she looked at the unconscious girl held under the armpit of "Xier".

Although she had changed a lot, Lan Feng still recognized her at a glance. She was the girl who entered the orphanage with him and regarded him as her sister, Xing Maer.

However, seeing Xing's current appearance, Lan Feng suddenly had a bad feeling. Although the unconscious girl had the same temperament as in her memory, she still felt that Xing gave her a sense of disharmony...

"She was just fooling around, so I knocked her out and was about to take her back to her room. But compared to this, Shilis...please answer my question, why did you come back suddenly?"

"Xi'er" said calmly, throwing the apricot on the ground. Although the action was not too rough, it was not gentle at all.

Watching "Xi'er" throw Xing to the ground like a truck unloading cargo, Lan Feng's eyes twitched a little, but she didn't ask any more questions. After all, Xing at least didn't seem to be seriously injured, and now, she had more important things to confirm...

"I came here to look for someone. I thought she might come to see Xier, so I wanted to confirm the situation."

"Oh? What kind of person is he?"

Hearing this, Xier frowned slightly and asked seriously with a hint of coldness in her words.

(Is there anyone who wants to harm Seele again? What a hassle...! But luckily, Shirley is back, so I won't be left alone...)

"Sorry... the situation is urgent, so I'll just get straight to the point. There's a girl who looks very similar to Seele, but she looks like a 16-year-old girl? She should be a remnant of the last civilization era. I think she must be related to Seele. Since you are also a remnant of the last civilization era, do you know that person?"

"...?!"

As Lan Feng spoke, Xi'er's mouth twitched a little, and her expression gradually became subtle. But Lan Feng didn't pay attention to her expression, but continued to talk about this matter to the girl in front of him.

"Although their physical ages are different, it is undeniable that she and Xi'er are so similar. I really can't believe that there is no connection between them. So, because I suddenly felt a little worried about Xi'er's safety, I secretly came back..."

170Friends of friends =?>>

"..."

(What? I thought you had completely given up after you left, but you're still worried about Seele... And you came back for her? Seele...)

Hearing Lan Feng's words, "Xier" was slightly stunned, her sharp red eyes began to soften, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

But the next moment, when she heard Lan Feng's words, her smile froze on her face.

"By the way, even though that girl claims to be the sixth Herrscher of the previous civilization, according to my detection, she should not have a Herrscher core. Even so, when she is attacked, her body turns into mist... It's as if her body is made entirely of energy..."

Hearing this, Xier's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"…You attacked her? Why?"

“Well, she is a Herrscher of Honkai after all, so I can’t just leave her alone… I did engage in a battle with her, but it was short-lived and I didn’t have time to subdue her before she escaped. However, my attack should have broken her atomization ability and caused her damage, but it healed in an instant…”

Xier's pupils shrank slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the last sentence, but she couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the sickle handle...

"I clearly used the javelin to pierce and tear her shoulder. Although it is not a vital part, judging by the size of the wound, it should be enough to

It could have been fatal. But she was able to completely ignore the injury, which was incredible."

"Tear... the shoulder?!"

"Well, and then--eh?! What are you doing!?"

Lan Feng was halfway through her words when the girl in front of her suddenly swung a large sickle at her, cutting her in such a way that she couldn't even see the trajectory. Lan Feng was caught off guard and quickly leaned back. The sickle barely missed the tip of her nose, and a few of the severed silver threads gently scattered...

"Shilis! How dare you bully her?!"

"What? Wait..."

Before Lan Feng could say anything, a blue light flashed before her eyes again. Lan Feng turned sideways and chopped down with high speed, brushing past her chest and directly cutting into the stone slab of the stairs.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing all of a sudden? Are you crazy?"

After being attacked, Lan Feng unconsciously activated the state of a pseudo-herrscher. He raised his foot and stepped on Xier's sickle to prevent her from pulling it out. He then rushed in front of her, grabbed her wrist and twisted it, and pressed her face up against the handrail of the stairwell to control her movements.

Lan Feng quickly raised his left hand, and a blue light flashed on the armor under his wrist, gathering energy at high speed. But Lan Feng suddenly realized something, and immediately released the energy gathering on his arm armor, and used this hand to press down Xier's body.

"Miss Stigmata? What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Please calm down. Even if you want to attack me, you should explain the situation clearly first, right?"

Lan Feng said anxiously, but in front of her, despite being subdued, "Xi'er" looked at Lan Feng fearlessly. Being stared at by those bloodshot eyes with a bit of violence, Lan Feng felt a little puzzled.

"What did you do to her?"

"What do you mean? She ran away after just a brief fight. And, this happened this morning... What? Do you really know her?"

"call……"

Hearing this, "Xier" breathed a sigh of relief, and the violence in her eyes began to slowly disappear.

"Well, it seems you have calmed down. Let's have a good talk, 'Xi'er."

Seeing this, Lan Feng said as he loosened his hand that was holding down Xi'er, and slowly took two steps back, indicating that he had no hostility. Xi'er grabbed the handrail, gently loosened the sickle handle in his hand, and released the supply of Honkai energy to the sickle, and the blue giant sickle turned into light particles and slowly disappeared.

"Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now..."

She stood up and patted the dust on the hem of her skirt, but when she found that she couldn't brush it off easily, she leaned against the handrail of the stairs, her expression completely calm.

"But the girl you injured is my friend, a very important friend... Because of this, I just... lost control of my emotions. I'm really sorry..."

"I see……"

Lan Feng nodded to show her understanding and walked to the other side where Xing was. She sat down next to Xing, folded her hands behind her head, and leaned against the wall of the stairwell.

Thinking of what happened just now, Lan Feng was also a little scared. "Xi'er's" merciless attack almost awakened her fighting instinct. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would probably drive the energy blade attached to the arm armor and stab Xi'er directly...

Lan Feng had to admit that psychologically, she had obviously changed a lot. Normally, when ordinary people are attacked by others, their first reaction is to dodge, close their eyes, or even crouch down to defend themselves. But now, she would subconsciously use deadly means to fight back against the opponent...

The Kaslana family was originally the most powerful lineage of the Fate Knights, and the inheritance brought by this bloodline can be imagined. I am afraid that my current mental state is affected by this...

(It’s not a good thing, but it’s not a bad thing either… Never mind, that’s not what I should be thinking about right now.)

Shaking his head to dispel his current thoughts, Lan Feng raised his head and looked at the "Xier" in front of him.

"It seems that you not only know that girl, but you have also had contact with her... Can you tell me who she is?"

After confirming that Xi'er was safe, Lan Feng's purpose of this trip had been achieved. As for Xing... I'll talk to her in detail later. After all, she looked very different, so she must have experienced something...

After making this decision, Lan Feng looked at the girl lying beside him, and temporarily put aside the matter of Xing and focused his attention on "Xier".

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that it seemed to be her fault that she attacked the girl.

"Um... I'm really sorry. My previous fight with her was due to a misunderstanding, and I ended up hurting her..."

Because of this incident, Lan Feng's voice was a little embarrassed. The misunderstanding was also caused by his own impulsiveness, and the other party was very likely the one who saved Yuli...

Thinking of this, the guilt and embarrassment from before came flooding back.

"It seems that the captain ZZ that Hill mentioned is you... Actually, it's nothing. For her, injuries of that degree can be healed in an instant. Forget it, Hillis... To me, you are not an outsider, so it's no big deal to tell you about her. But I'll tell you in advance.

Although you are my friend, I don’t think she will forgive you easily…”

Hearing this, "Xier" chuckled, and compared to Lan Feng's guilt and worry, her expression became relaxed.

"Let me tell you... She is indeed the Sixth Herrscher of the previous civilization. Her name is the same as Seele's, also called Seelevollerei. The most important point is that she is my former host~"

"...?"

172 Separation & Encounter

Due to a heavy blow to the head, Xing lost consciousness for the third time at noon that day.

"What do you mean by subconsciously? How could you bully a poor girl like this? Please explain it to me clearly!"

Lan Feng leaned over and looked at Xing who had fainted, and found that the side of the girl's face had swollen. Seeing this, Lan Feng felt distressed and a little amused, so he helped Xing up and let her rest her head on his thighs.

After doing this, she turned her attention to the perpetrator beside her.

"Okay, tell me quickly, what happened just now?"

Hearing Lan Feng's question, "Xier" looked a little embarrassed. She turned her eyes away and looked a little nervous.

"Well, it's a long story... Yeah, that's right! Shiris, you probably don't know about Xing's changes yet, right...?"

"Apricot's change...?"

Hearing this, Lan Feng tilted his head, looked at the murderer who openly hurt people with confusion, and waited quietly for her explanation.

After a brief recollection, Xi'er told Lan Feng what had happened since she left the orphanage...

Okhotsk, downtown...

In a small hotel on the corner of the street, a silver-haired girl sat on the bed in the room, staring at the screen in front of her in a daze.

On the light screen formed by the terminal was a slightly blurry topographic map. In the center of the map, a small green dot flickered slightly, and for a long time, it remained in the same place without moving.

Above the green dot was the label "Silis Kaslana", and the status bar showed normal. Below it was also marked: This unit is inside a building, two life forms have been detected around it, and there is no high-energy reaction...

Including various situation analyses, all this information was clearly displayed below the light screen. With Lan Feng's authorization, Kiana gained the right to access these communication information. If she wanted, she could even access Lan Feng's communication template at any time, listen to the sound and observe the surroundings through her headset and eyepiece. But without Shiris's permission, she would not do so easily.

Kiana looked at the green dot that had been staying there for a long time, and then she just sighed softly. Before this, she had been worried about whether Shirley would be in danger. But now it seemed that she was indeed talking to someone, and there was no fight.

Even though Kiana was well aware of the girl's strength and had witnessed her combat abilities with her own eyes, it didn't mean she had no worries about it.

Remembering Lan Feng's instructions, Kiana placed the terminal on the bed, gently closed her eyes, and spread her perception ability.

After confirming that there were no other people in the hotel, Kiana canceled the perception enhancement, picked up the terminal again, and checked the current location of the team members.

"Hmm... Lin is in her room, eh? Where's Lillian... ah, so she's in Claire's room..."

After carefully confirming these, Kiana called up the tracking surveillance of "Shiris" and continued to stare at the green light on the screen in a daze.

The target's location was less than fifty kilometers away from the hotel. If necessary, she could use the anti-entropy high-speed aircraft to arrive there within a minute at any time.
