K424 of the Collapse World

"Yes, yes! I heard that it was still in the debugging stage and had not yet been officially put into use. It was amazing that Shiris could control such a thing and only made a small mistake at the end~"

Elena also spoke with some emotion. After confirming that Claire's injury had nothing to do with her, she was completely relieved and joined the discussion with a smile.

At this time, Lin was the only one who remained silent.

Not at all affected by the harmonious atmosphere, she raised her head and glanced at Elena indifferently, her lavender pupils filled with complexity.

(Elena Rinaldo... I can't admit that you are also a Valkyrie like me! But, should we still follow the principles of the Valkyrie now?)

181 Resignation

Listening to Einstein's story, Walter's expression began to become serious.

"...You mean, she's an experimental clone numbered k424, but somehow she has Cecilia's memories. She also has strength to match... and now, you're in a cooperative relationship?"

There was a hint of surprise in Walter's voice. Indeed, it was difficult for people to understand such an unusual thing.

"Well... that's about it. But there are many puzzling things about her. I don't know how she used Houkai energy to reach a power close to that of a Herrscher from an extremely weak state at the beginning."

Einstein added, with a hint of doubt on his face. From the beginning, she had already told Walter everything about Shirley after simplifying it.

"It's really... incredible! The body of K424 is Cecilia's daughter? But why does she have Cecilia's memory? This is totally unreasonable..."

Walter frowned and muttered to himself. Soon after, he suddenly thought of something, raised his head again and looked at Einstein.

"So... why did you tell me this? Although this is a very strange thing, it is not an emergency, right? And according to what you said, she and Tianming are enemies, and we have a solid cooperative relationship, so what are you worried about? Could it be that she might do something bad to us?"

Walter had a puzzled look on his face. He once again confirmed the situation of the surrounding environment through the communication detection system, then he lowered his voice and asked Einstein.

"In fact...she didn't have any intention of doing anything bad to us. She even helped us a lot after being rescued by us."

"So, what is the problem?"

Walter's low voice carried a hint of anxiety. His conversation with Einstein at this moment was very risky, so the process of understanding the situation naturally wanted to be as concise as possible.

In response, Einstein lowered his head slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"I just feel like I can't see through her. That Silis Kaslana..."

"Oh...? What do you mean?"

"Whether it's her purpose, her code of conduct, or her thoughts, it's completely incomprehensible. Sometimes, although it seems reasonable, it's actually full of contradictions. Moreover, from the perspective of personality, she is far from the Cecilia we know, and her usual actions are completely unlike those of an experienced Valkyrie..."

"So, you still doubt her?"

When Einstein heard Walter ask this question for the second time, he was silent for a while and nodded heavily.

"Indeed, I have some doubts about her... Regardless of whether she has done anything to harm us, there are too many unexplainable things about her. I really can't feel at ease working with a mysterious person. Even for a guy like Cocolia, I at least know her past and can see through her crazy heart. But for Shiris, I feel an unknown fear... Although I can see that she is sincere to us and is not our enemy, I can't see what she is hiding from us..."

Hearing this, Walter fell silent. How could he not know this feeling? After accepting Walter Joyce's "inheritance", he also got a part of his memory. In Joyce's heart, a certain blond man, before something happened, he also had this feeling towards that person...

"So, what do you want me to do?"

In the end, Walter did not express his own opinion, but threw the question back to Einstein.

"It's very simple."

Hearing this, the blue-haired girl opened her eyes, and the faint light from the terminal screen was reflected in her pure glass-colored pupils, reflecting a dazzling light. At this time, there was no trace of laziness in her eyes. Just like that, she used her extremely

He faced Walter with a serious look.

"I hope you can make the decision yourself on how we should deal with Shirley. By the way, Tesla has a very close relationship with her. If we ignore gender, it can be said that they are close to lovers. Because she gave Shirley too much actual power, so things are so troublesome..."

After hearing what Einstein had revealed, Walter's expression became a little strange. He sighed, and his expression showed a little more fatigue.

"Confront her... instead of dealing with her? Well... I almost understand your attitude towards her. From what you said, it will be troublesome if we continue like this. That's it. I will find a way to meet her later. I will confirm who she is... By the way, are you willing to trust my judgment?"

Hearing Walter's words, Einstein nodded without hesitation.

"What a superfluous question. That man...he chose you to be his successor and handed the entire Anti-Entropy to you. Just because I believe in Joyce, I will believe in you too."

Einstein said softly. Facing the brown-haired man's gentle expression again, she seemed to see another equally gentle young man with short indigo hair...

"Then I'll leave it to you, Walter."

Einstein looked at the man who nodded slightly. A faint warm smile quietly crossed her expressionless face that seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, as if the scene had happened countless times in the past...

Suddenly remembering something, Einstein put away his smile and regained his previous calmness.

"By the way, have you had any problems recently?"

Walter was slightly stunned, and shook his head calmly.

"…It's not a problem yet, don't worry. I won't fall down until I fulfill my promise to that person."

Walter smiled, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly discovered something and frowned slightly.

"It seems that this is all I can do today... Someone is looking for me. It sounds like it should be that little principal. It seems that I am in trouble..."

Hearing the faint footsteps outside the door, Walter could easily identify the man. There was no reaction to his communication signal being exposed, so it seemed that the other party must have something else to ask him.

“The principal of St. Freya’s school is… Theresa, right? I see. Then…”

Einstein wanted to say something, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted her. She frowned, then shook her head with a wry smile.

"What a coincidence! It looks like I have something to do here as well... Let's contact each other next time. Don't forget what I asked you to do, Walter."

"Well, I know."

Walter responded to Einstein softly, and then decisively cut off the communication, quickly turned off the light screen in front of him, gently opened the curtains, adjusted his state, and sat at the desk, quietly waiting for the arrival of the school principal...

"Mr. Walter, are you in there?"

Hearing the expected voice of a young girl, Walter breathed a sigh of relief and responded in his usual gentle voice.

"It's the principal, what can I do for you?"

·————————————·

At the ME Club, although Einstein didn't know who had suddenly visited her, she returned to her usual lazy state. She relaxed her body slightly, sat up a little, and cast her eyes towards the direction of her door.

"come in."

Following Einstein's slightly tired voice, a small hand pushed open the wooden door, and the silver-haired girl that she and Walter had just been discussing walked in slowly with her head down.

"Siris...?"

Einstein was stunned for a moment, and a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes. She didn't expect that the person who came to see her at this time was actually Shirley.

(What an unexpected visitor... So, why did she come?)

Although her brain was working rapidly, her expression remained unchanged. She just looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her with a little confusion, thinking secretly.

Lan Feng was not in a good condition at the moment. The blockage caused by fatigue made her feel like she was in a dream. But she forced herself to be alert, and despite the stagnant thoughts caused by sleepiness, she came to Einstein's office in ME.

"Excuse me, Dr. Einstein..."

Lan Feng spoke nervously. Thinking of the mistakes she had made during this period of time, she always felt a little afraid to look Einstein in the eye.

After seeing Einstein in person, her ability to think was slightly restored under the nervous stimulation. Although in her impression, Einstein was a very gentle person, but remembering that she almost demolished another helipad, she still didn't dare to look up at the expressionless curly-haired girl.

181 Resignation>>

However, it is never good not to look at the other person during communication.

Lan Feng tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to raise his head and focus his eyes on Aiyin.

Stan.

The moment her eyes met Lan Feng's, Einstein seemed to have discovered something, her pupils shrank slightly, and her eyes became sharp in an instant. But the next moment, she returned to normal, but her slightly raised smile had a hint of coldness.

"…What's going on, Cecilia?"

"Well, there is something I want to talk to you about... Also, please don't call me by that name. My name now is... Silis Kaslana."

Lan Feng spoke neither servilely nor arrogantly. Although she felt guilty, she looked at Einstein fearlessly. Noticing the honesty in her eyes, Einstein's sharp gaze was slightly doubtful. But despite this, she did not intend to suspend the discussion.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"First of all, please let me apologize to you...for what happened before."

"..."

Einstein raised his eyebrows, but said nothing. He just continued to listen to Lan Feng's story.

"I hope you can revoke my current command of the troops, or make some adjustments to it."

Lan Feng spoke softly, trying to make her expression look sincere. Hearing this, Einstein's face suddenly became surprised. She looked directly at Lan Feng, and the light in her pupils seemed to penetrate her completely.

"Can you tell me why?"

Einstein hesitated for a moment, then asked Lan Feng. In response, Lan Feng gave the answer he had thought of on the way without thinking.

"Because I don't have the ability to match it... I'm completely incapable of commanding operations. You should be able to see how badly the execution of that operation was..."

“How come you see?”

"It should be very clear in the combat report Lin gave you. No other anti-entropy combat commander would come up with such an inexplicable action plan. So, I must be responsible for the lives of my team members..."

Lan Feng continued speaking, looking at Einstein who seemed to be lost in thought, waiting for her response.

"are you serious?"

"Ah."

After receiving a positive answer, Einstein frowned slightly and observed Lan Feng's expression carefully.

After a long while, she suddenly smiled gently, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised to outline a gentle smile, which formed a clear contrast with her previous indifference. Lan Feng had never expected such a result, and was stunned on the spot, unable to react immediately for a while.

"I'm sorry... Miss Hillis, I'm glad that you can see your own shortcomings clearly. I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to bring this up. It's just..."

As Einstein was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject, and the sharpness in his eyes that had just been restrained appeared again.

"If you're just talking about this kind of thing, you don't need to show off your aura like this. Your expression right now doesn't match your state... Or do you have something else to tell me?"

Einstein said, folding his hands and supporting his chin, waiting for the silver-haired girl's answer. However, Lan Feng showed a blank expression.

"what are you saying?"

"Hmm? According to your relevant information, when you showed such an external performance, you should have been in a state of war, right? Indeed... Even if I am several meters away, I can feel the dangerous momentum from you..."

Einstein said this, pointing at Lan Feng's eyes.

Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something. He quickly opened his terminal, called up the display function, and projected his facial image onto the light screen.

The moment she saw the image, she couldn't help but gasp!

She was shocked to find that her own azure eyes, at some point, had been completely filled with pure dark purple in the pupils, revealing a kind of eerie and terrifying aura.

However, I clearly did not actively activate this state...

Lan Feng's expression began to become serious. She looked at her own eyes through the terminal again, but she only felt more frightened...

It was basically the same as when she used the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite state, but there was something extra.

The emotion in these pupils was obviously not her own...

“What… is…?”

"Why? Don't you know it yourself?"

At this time, Einstein's expression also became serious. She realized that the situation was beyond her ability to handle, and she began to consider whether to summon Thunder Ryoma and Tesla.

Lan Feng tried to control the Honkai energy in his eyes, extract it from his optic nerves, and force them to stop functioning.

Under her control, the pupils that were dyed purple by the Honkai energy slowly returned to their original blue color. However, the azure eyes that once shone like sapphires now looked dull and haggard.

Lan Feng was silent for a few seconds and shook his head gently.

"Sorry... I really don't know, but maybe it's because I've been too tired recently... The Houkai energy in my body is a little agitated, but it's still within the controllable range, don't worry."

Lan Feng said this tiredly, waving his hand to indicate that he was fine, trying to

Get away with it.

Having said that, she already had a guess about her situation...

"Is that so...Okay, but are you really okay?"

"Yeah, it's okay... I know my body, and if it's just this level, I won't cause any trouble for anyone."

Lan Feng lowered his head slightly, with a look of reluctance hidden in his eyes.

(I have received enough help from you guys... This time, I will not cause any trouble to anyone with my own affairs...)

After getting Lan Feng's answer, Einstein breathed a sigh of relief and his expression became relaxed.

"It seems that I misunderstood you just now, Shirley... I'm sorry, I hope you will accept my apology."
