K424 of the Collapse World

"So...are you going to be my master?"

The girl asked softly, her voice without any emotion. When Kokolia heard this, she subconsciously felt a sense of absurdity. She was about to express her feelings for the girl's trainer, but suddenly she felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu...

(I seem to have heard this sentence somewhere before...)

Suddenly, a figure with long purple hair flashed through her mind, and Cocolia's pupils suddenly contracted!

"Bronya...! In your unit, was there ever a purple-haired girl slightly older than you? Or maybe silver-haired? Her name was Shiris, did you know that?"

Seeing the woman who had captured her suddenly become excited, Bronya tilted her head, as if she was a little confused. She thought about it for a moment and then shook her head gently.

"There's no girl with purple hair there, or maybe I just haven't seen one."

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Cocolia took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. Thinking of that girl again, Cocolia felt annoyed. She turned to Bronya again, but her originally sharp purple pupils were already a little tired.

"No, I will not be your master...but I will be your mother."

"Mother...what does that mean?"

"You will know later. Xier will take care of you during this period. I hope you can get along well."

As she spoke, Cocolia walked out of the room. At this time, only the two girls of the same age were left in the room.

"Um... nice to meet you. My... my name is Xi'er Fuleai."

Looking at the black-haired girl who extended her hand to her, Bronya was a little dazed, her eyes still alert. But looking at the girl with a sincere expression, she slowly extended her hand and shook hands with Seele...

"Bronya Zajcek."

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a void of pure white space.

There was no one, no light, no sound. When you were in it, all you could see was just pure white without any change.

My thoughts almost completely stopped, and it took me a long time to barely confirm the current situation.

"I...what exactly happened?"

Lan Feng thought quietly, and it was obvious that the space in front of him was not real.

"So...how did I get here?"

Lan Feng thought silently and tried to look around, but he still couldn't see anything. It was as if he was compressed into a two-dimensional state and then trapped in a huge piece of white paper. He couldn't find anything else at all.

Trying to clear her mind, Lan Feng began to recall what happened before. She had to figure out how she came to this hellhole.

"I should have returned from Okhotsk. Then, the aircraft had another 'accident', and then I was criticized by Tesla. Come to think of it, she has never been so mean to me before..."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she didn't think too much about what had happened. After all, things had come to this point, and no matter how much she regretted it, it would be of no use.

"Then, my physical condition became abnormal, so I went to talk to Aiyin. After that, due to the existence of something, my physical condition became worse and worse, so I asked Kiana to help me go to the room..."

This is where his memory was cut off. Lan Feng let out a light breath and then closed his eyes.

"I see. So... I am actually in a coma now?"

Although I had guessed it a long time ago, the feeling was still quite subtle when I confirmed that this strange space was a dream.

"Although I really want to explore the difference between illusion and reality, forget it... After all, I don't have the time to do such things right now."

While talking to herself, she wanted to raise her hand, but found that she could not sense the existence of her body, so she gave up the idea.

"Well, since this is a consciousness space..."

Lan Feng chuckled in his heart, and a hint of coldness gradually appeared in his eyes.

"You've already dragged me here, are you still planning on hiding?"

She spoke loudly. Listening to the voice echoing in her mind, Lan Feng was certain that someone must be secretly observing her in the dark at this moment. She could clearly feel that extremely familiar feeling of being watched...

"Humph, you're not going to show up yet? Then let me make the first move..."

Lan Feng said, looking at the blank space in front of her. After concentrating her consciousness, she found that this blank space was not empty, but something like a barrier. Lan Feng could feel that if she wanted, she could completely destroy it at any time and enter a deeper level of consciousness.

Lan Feng has already confirmed that a consciousness of unknown origin has appeared in his body. It can spy on his actions and even interfere with his consciousness!

As for where this thing came from, Lan Feng could completely guess. The phenomenon of a second personality appearing in the body could only be caused by the stigmata of management consciousness, or in other words... the messenger of collapse.

(What a irony... Could it be that I was really chosen by the Honkai Will to be the Herrscher? Haha... Although I don't mind having another Herrscher identity, I don't want to have a dangerous tenant in my body...)

Indeed, Lan Feng didn't want to let such a huge hidden danger remain in his body. Who knows what bad things might happen. Moreover, this conflict was also provoked by the other party, so...

(I will take this opportunity to completely destroy it! Who knows if this damn Herrscher's consciousness will harm the people around me...)

Lan Feng thought silently, secretly gathering his spiritual power, and slowly compressed the white barrier in front of him, intending to destroy this layer of space at once, and then pull out a certain hidden guy!

"Hehe... can you do that?"

However, before she could turn her thoughts into reality, she was caught off guard by an unexpected situation! Along with a vague and ethereal voice, a sudden strong light made the entire white space seem to boil!

The spirit that Lan Feng had just gathered also collapsed. Just like that, surrounded by the strong light, Lan Feng couldn't help but close his eyes...

(Is it a trap? Yes, since the other party took the initiative this time, how could they not have prepared for it?)

Her consciousness fell into the depths of space again, but Lan Feng did not show any panic. Because of the opponent's initiative this time, although Lan Feng was forced into another space, she also got a glimpse of the opponent's mental strength.

Obviously, in comparison, I am stronger...

"So this is your reason for hiding your true colors? Haha... I see, you resorted to such tricks because you have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation!"

Lan Feng gently challenged the Herrscher whose whereabouts were unknown, but in reality, he was secretly on high alert, waiting for the place he was about to arrive at...

——Buzz…!

As the strong light gradually dissipated, Lan Feng felt that the feeling of falling had disappeared, so he tried to open his eyes.

When her vision was restored, what she saw was not the arena or slaughterhouse she had imagined, but a soft, light blue sky...

Only then did Lan Feng realize that he was lying flat on the ground with a green lawn beneath him.

"...I'm awake? No, I'm still in the mirror, just in another dimension... But where is this place?"

Lan Feng turned over and slowly got up from the lawn, frowning and looking around. However, when she saw the surrounding scene clearly, her eyes gradually became complicated...

In front of me was a row of old apartment buildings, and opposite me were a few pieces of peeling paint fitness equipment. The cracked path was covered with fallen leaves, and the two rows of shrubs on both sides of the path were still as messy as I remembered...

Lan Feng stared blankly at the small square at the other end of the lawn, watching the children playing and the elderly exercising. After a long time, she came back to her senses.

"This is... my home?"

She murmured to herself. Even though she knew clearly that she was still in the consciousness space, she couldn't help but doubt the scene in front of her. Was this real? Where was she now?

After all, the scene before him at this moment was Lan Feng's former home...

When she was still him, the place she lived in her memory was this unknown community. She raised her head and looked at a small window on the fifth floor of Unit 2, her eyes gradually becoming deep.

Although he felt a little nostalgic, Lan Feng was surprised to find that he did not feel a strong sense of belonging to this former home. After figuring this out, his slightly throbbing heart soon calmed down.

Lan Feng felt a little uncomfortable about this, but she could fully understand her situation. Although she rarely recalled her past after leaving that world, seeing her former home with her own eyes like this would never calm her heart...

Lan Feng shook her head. After she calmed down completely, she no longer paid attention to the scenes around her, but focused her mind on the structure of the space of consciousness.

"Maybe it's because... I knew from the beginning that this was just an illusion. It's impossible to feel a sense of belonging to something that's fake. No matter how much I deceive myself, since I've already subconsciously recognized this fact, there's nothing I can do about it..."

As she spoke to herself, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"But, since when did I become so rational, or should I say... cold-blooded? As expected, the changes that Honkai can bring to me may not all be good..."

Lan Feng guessed and continued to look at the small window with a slightly softer gaze.

"Come to think of it, if I go upstairs now and go back there, will I meet... my family? I think so... After all, this is just an illusion created by that bastard using my memory. As long as it exists in my memory, I can probably see it here... If I want."

"However, this kind of thing... is just self-consolation, it has no meaning at all!"

Lan Feng lowered her head and stopped looking at the small window with the plain blue curtains. She raised her delicate and smooth little hands, and a bitter smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Besides, I am no longer the same person I used to be. With my current body, even if I could go back, I probably wouldn't have the face to see them..."

She talked to herself, looking around at the scenes in her memory, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

"But I didn't expect that thing to be able to spy on my memory... It's really annoying. So it should have known that I came from another world. And what is it planning to do by showing this memory of mine to me... Could it be..."

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes gradually darkened. Just now, she basically guessed what the other party was planning to do by pulling her into this illusion.

"But, for me, this is useless..."

--boom! !

With a loud bang, a cloud of dust suddenly burst out from the outside of the community. A huge red and white creature smashed the gate, crushed the broken wall with its huge forelimbs, and crawled into the community step by step. At the same time, there were also endless dragonfly-like monsters that began to harvest the people who fled...

"Honkai Beast... As expected, the things that appear here are all things that exist in my memory..."

Lan Feng watched everything happening around him coldly. Under the brilliance of the giant Honkai beast, the peaceful and warm community soon turned into a purgatory-like misery...

The advancing Honkai beasts passed through like a swarm of locusts, leaving broken limbs and arms everywhere they went. Their blood seeped into the stone slabs on the ground, completely dyeing it crimson.

Although the scene in front of her seemed extremely real, Lan Feng just watched it all calmly. The suddenly appearing Honkai beasts completely ignored her and only aimed their spearheads at the humans in the illusion, killing them one by one...

Random

Reaching out, Lan Feng grabbed a charge-level Honkai beast that flew past her, and with a little force from both hands, she tore the Honkai beast's body apart! Looking at the splashing lavender liquid, a hint of mockery appeared on her face.

"It's exactly the same as the real Honkai beast... That's right, I have killed countless Honkai beasts with my own hands. These things are created completely according to my memories, so it's natural that they are so realistic..."

Throwing away the debris in his hand, Lan Feng frowned slightly when he smelled the bloody smell. At this time, several breakthrough-level Honkai beasts flew across the sky, rushed towards the residential building not far away, smashed the window glass, and flew directly in...

(Damn it! No... Don’t be fooled. This is just an illusion, just a fake thing...!)

Lan Feng suppressed her restless heart and did not take any action. She closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly.

"Do you know that playing with other people's memories is the most unforgivable thing for me... Forget it, now that things have come to this, I don't want to waste time talking to you. But do you think that these false illusions can really affect my mind?"

Lan Feng said calmly, and although her expression did not change at all, her voice was already ice-cold.

At this moment, Lan Feng saw from the corner of his eye that a Honkai beast was running past and rushing straight towards the familiar small window...

"...!"

Suddenly, the wailing of the people suddenly disappeared, the movement of the Honkai beasts also stopped completely, and the time of the entire space seemed to have stopped flowing. The next moment, the space began to blur and gradually turned into chaos. Those familiar scenes slowly returned to nothingness, and finally, the entire space returned to its previous pure white color.

Lan Feng opened her eyes, and there was no ripple in her blue pupils. She looked at the pure white emptiness in front of her and exhaled slightly.

"Are you finally brave enough to stand up to me? You coward...are you not going to do those little tricks anymore?"

"It's no longer necessary... After all, it was just a small test for you."

The ethereal voice from before sounded again, and this time, Lan Feng began to listen carefully to this voice.

The hollow echo covered the original sound, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman, but it carried an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Just as Lan Feng was thinking carefully about this feeling, the voice sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm in its tone.

“Come to think of it, it’s really amazing that you can remain calm even when you see everything that was once important to you being destroyed… Could it be that you no longer have any ‘emotions’ as a human being?”

This time, the voice that seemed to come from the void seemed very close. Lan Feng slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. What came into his sight was a tall, dark figure...

"That kind of thing has nothing to do with you... Think whatever you want, but is this your true form? Your appearance is really disgusting..."

Looking at the strange human figure made entirely of black fog, with only the eyes and mouth in light color, Lan Feng sneered and shook his head. As he spoke, he slightly moved his wrist.

"If you want to see my mind collapse, then you're probably going to be disappointed... But you should also be thankful that you ended that space at the last moment, otherwise..."

“What else? Even if you saw those tragic scenes with your own eyes, you wouldn’t feel any compassion at all…”

"That's just an illusion... Is it necessary for me to feel sad for something so false?"

Hearing this, the black shadow was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, the corners of its mouth suddenly opened up, forming a hideous arc.

“Hahaha…! I see, you can say something like that, think carefully, what are you like now? And what are you like in your memory? Hehe… You won’t feel sad about something that’s not true? That’s a very high-sounding statement…”

"……What's the meaning?"

Lan Feng, who was in a state of preparation for battle, did not think carefully about the other party's words. She was trying hard to control her abilities in the consciousness space. Moreover, she did not understand much of the words of the figure.

"You still don't realize it? You pathetic fellow. Hmph... Never mind. For you, ignorance is actually a good thing..."

The black figure saw Lan Feng's intention from her actions. He smiled disdainfully, and a mist-like blade slowly appeared on his hand made of black mist...

185 Confrontation

"How is she doing now?"

In a white room, Einstein leaned against the metal wall and asked softly to Kiana who was sitting on the edge of the bed. She looked at the silver-haired girl lying on the bed, and her usually calm face was now filled with solemnity.

As the ominous premonition in his heart gradually grew stronger, Einstein felt more and more that his decision to follow was an extremely wise one.
