K424 of the Collapse World

Lan Feng had confirmed this through the shadow's reaction just now. If it could still read his thoughts, it would not be a question-and-answer conversation. Although the possibility of the other party deliberately acting could not be ruled out, for those arrogant Honkai Wills, the probability of such a thing was very small.

"So what? I can admit that I am despicable. But I am still me, not just a puppet acting on the will of Honkai like you!"

Lan Feng growled in a low voice, retracting his mind and focusing again on the conversation with the black shadow.

"Also, your voice just now...sounded like you were carrying some kind of emotion. What, are you angry? Humph...a guy like you can get angry? This is really eye-opening. When did the puppet consciousness created by Honkai become so humane?"

Lan Feng's voice gradually turned colder, and she continued to speak, wantonly provoking the other party. Although at this moment, she was still suffering from the torment of guilt in her heart, but she still tried to get more information from the other party.

"Houkai's consciousness... Hehe, are you so sure of my identity? Hmph... It doesn't matter. Anyway, for you, I have done almost everything I want to do."

Lan Feng completely scoffed at the black shadow's words.

"What else do you want to do? Aren't you planning to use my body to destroy all human civilization in this world? How ridiculous! How can a pathetic person like you, whose self-awareness is subject to collapse, have the idea of ​​'wanting' to do something?"

Lan Feng continued, trying to provoke the other party again.

As she expected, the mysterious consciousness's emotions fluctuated.

"Have you said enough? You are not moved by the destruction of your homeland. What qualifications do you have to talk about feelings here?"

After Lan Feng finished speaking, the shadow's voice followed closely. Under the blurred echoes, it was impossible to tell whether its tone was calm or angry. But Lan Feng, concentrating fully, found that the shadow's voice seemed to be mixed with a hint of... indignation?

Not

It's not the anger that's out of control, but a kind of indignation about other things...

Although the expected effect was achieved, Lan Feng was a little confused about this Honkai consciousness. But since the other party had spoken, she naturally could not remain silent. In fact, she still had not given up the intention of looking for the other party. As long as it kept talking to her, it might reveal its true colors.

"It's different. I know very well that those are just illusions created using my memory... I said that I won't waste my feelings on those false things. So, knowing that, do you think this illusion will work on me?"

Lan Feng said without hesitation, her eyes gradually becoming sharper. She could clearly feel that the guy was watching her from somewhere in this space, but she could not sense the other party's specific location through these isolated spaces.

"Hmph... You are just talking nonsense here. Imagine if in the "reality" you used to live in, the people you care about were in danger, would you really be as anxious as you think?"

"Nonsense... How could I abandon my former family and friends?"

Lan Feng said without thinking, she couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to express.

"Huh... "You" were once family and friends? How dare you say that..."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the mockery mixed in the shadow's voice, Lan Feng frowned, and subconsciously felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't tell where this strange feeling came from...

"Nothing~ Just a casual remark. But even though you said that, I don't remember you just watching everything being destroyed without changing your expression."

"How many times do you want me to repeat this? How can your mere illusions work on me?!"

In response to the black shadow's endless questions, Lan Feng's voice began to be mixed with a bit of impatience, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.

"Oh, right... I almost forgot. "Not being moved by false things" is one of your principles, right? If that's the case..."

As if he thought of something interesting, the shadow's voice suddenly relaxed, with a little more smile, and even a little cheerful.

"Have you forgotten? Even this world is fake to you. In your memory, it is just a game world, isn't it?"

The shadow's voice sounded again, followed by a sneer. Under the influence of that voice line, the sneer expressing disdain seemed a little weird.

"...You're changing the concept. This world is not a two-dimensional space. Moreover, the people here are real, living people, not NPCs! I never thought that this world would be fake."

"So it's completely real? Only for you..."

"..."

"If this world is real, then how do you view the "real" world you once lived in? Which one is your real world?"

"..."

186 Identity >>

This time, Lan Feng remained silent and stopped answering the shadow's questions. It wasn't that she couldn't answer, but she felt as if she had been led into the shadow's rhythm, being led by the shadow by the nose, and answering some inexplicable questions foolishly.

(What a joke! If my family in that world were really in danger, I would... definitely go to help them no matter what.)

Yes, that kind of feeling of no belonging only happens in fantasy! If it were reality, I would never hesitate at all!

Lan Feng calmed down and began to concentrate on sensing everything in the entire space, trying to spread his mental power to the entire consciousness space to obtain the other party's position.

However, the other party seemed to know all her actions and spoke again in a mocking tone the next moment.

"It's useless. It's impossible for you to find me now. Besides, don't you think you've been here too long? Even if chatting with me is fun, you shouldn't forget the time, right?"

"...?"

Lan Feng had a strange look on his face, and the shadow's voice continued to be heard.

"If I stay here for too long, Kiana will probably get worried..."

"Huh? That's really confusing... What does Kiana have to do with you? You don't need to care about my affairs!"

"My feelings for them are no less than yours..."

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense to me! You shoddy piece of shit!"

Lan Feng angrily gave up the aimless search and focused her scattered mental energy back into her consciousness. She raised her head and looked around the empty white space, trying to find the damn black shadow.

"hehe......"

The shadow smiled noncommittally, but as it whispered, Lan Feng's mind was once again filled with

Full of doubts.

(Why would it care about Kiana? It's just a chuunibana Herrscher with a personality that wants to destroy humanity. Wait...it doesn't seem to be that chuunibana? Never mind, the Herrscher's personality can't all be the same. But, it can't be infected by my memories? And then it also fell in love with that silly white-haired ball...)

These wild thoughts could only be used to please herself, and they stayed in Lan Feng's mind for only a moment. Soon, she dispelled these fanciful thoughts and her eyes focused again.

In fact, Lan Feng was serious about destroying this Herrscher personality in one go. After all, if she had an enemy who was eyeing her covetously and could attack her at any time hiding in her body and sharing her vision, she would never be able to let her guard down, and even whether she could sleep peacefully at night would become a problem.

"I'm telling you, don't think you can just stay here like a stubborn stubborn person. Today it's either you or me who will die! To achieve this, I will not hesitate even if my real body is unconscious for several months!"

"...Why do you have to go this far? Hehe...are you so afraid of me?"

Hearing that somewhat helpless ethereal voice, Lan Feng clenched his teeth and his expression became serious.

"I won't give you any chance... There are still many things in this world that I want to protect. So, don't even think about taking this body!"

Lan Feng was very aware of her own strength. It was no exaggeration to say that in terms of destructive power alone, she was already on par with the Initial Herrscher. It was easy to imagine what the Honkai Will, which aimed to end civilization, would do next after taking over her body.

"oh......"

In response to Lan Feng's seriousness, the black shadow's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"I see... I understand your thoughts. However, as I said just now, because of this incident, I will not be able to influence you for a long time. If you are worried that your consciousness will be usurped at any time, then rest assured, even a true Herrscher would not be able to do such a thing easily."

"Huh, do you think I will believe you?"

"That's not up to you. Even if I made these things up, you can't do anything to me now, right?"

"..."

"Besides... can you really bear to let a girl who cares about you wait by your bedside for several months? Also, how do you know that nothing will happen to the people you cherish in a few months?"

Hearing the shadow's voice, Lan Feng fell silent.

After a long moment, she chuckled and raised her head again, the sharpness in her eyes having disappeared.

"...I can't deny that you're right. It's obviously not worth paying so much to deal with a bastard like you. But then again, your desire to survive is really strong..."

Lan Feng said helplessly, and the simulated collapse energy that filled her body dissipated. She sighed and let her mind penetrate the structure of this pure white space. She could feel that this should be a shallow position in the consciousness space. As long as she wanted, she could let her consciousness return to reality at any time.

"No matter who you are, you should be responsible for yourself, right? I don't want to be killed by you so early. If I do that, I will definitely miss a lot of interesting things... Well, speaking of which, if your performance wasn't so disappointing, it's not impossible for me to just watch you like this..."

"My life is not for you to have fun!"

"I can see it whenever I want, and you can't do anything to me, right?"

"..."

Lan Feng exhaled, constantly forcing herself not to get angry with this guy. She had calmed down, so she naturally wouldn't think about spending several months to deal with this matter, which was obviously unlikely.

"Well... let's just say goodbye. You win this time. By the way, do you know how to get out? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No trouble."

Lan Feng said bluntly, and directly connected to this space with her consciousness. Soon, under her control, a pure black door appeared out of thin air in the pure white space.

Lan Feng walked towards the door without hesitation, grasped the steel door handle and pushed it open.

What caught his eye was a dark chaos, with the vortex in the center as deep as a black hole. Listening carefully, he could faintly hear someone talking. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, Lan Feng could distinguish the voices.

(Is it Kiana and Ain... Hmm? Tesla is here too. I really made you worried.)

Lan Feng's expression relaxed slightly, but the next moment, the voice she didn't want to hear rang out again.

"Oh yeah, after thinking about it, I decided to give you a piece of advice..."

"unnecessary."

Walking into the center of the chaos without hesitation, Lan Feng instantly felt his consciousness becoming blurred and he was pulled into the depths of the vortex...

During this time, the black shadow seemed to say something, but Lan Feng could no longer hear it.

Just like that, when her figure completely disappeared, the open door also closed and disappeared. This space returned to its previous pure white color.

"well......"

A soft sigh resounded throughout the space in an instant, but no one could hear it except the speaker himself.

"Your current Houkai power is not much different from that of a true Herrscher. Although it is a good thing, but... according to Ji Xuanyuan's knowledge of the stigmata, this is a power that only gods have the right to master."

"Well, you stole the power of God with your mortal body, and then used it recklessly. You will definitely pay the price...k424."

The shadow's voice fell silent, and the pure white space seemed to have lost some support and gradually began to return to darkness...

"Never mind. I'll just continue to be a bystander... just like before."

The pure white space had completely dimmed, and the sound of the black shadow had also disappeared, as if nothing had ever existed.

187 return

"Chicken Coop Head! Tell me clearly, where did you take Shilis?!"

In a metal passage somewhere in the basement of the ME company, Tesla stood in front of Einstein with a menacing look, staring at the blue-haired girl who was half a head shorter than her.

"She clearly said before that she would come to find you later. But why are you alone here? Where is Shilis?"

"Please calm down, Dr. Tesla... I've made it very clear. Miss Hillis has had some health problems and is now undergoing a medical examination here. You need to wait a while before you can see her."

Looking at the excited red-haired girl in front of him, Einstein felt a little overwhelmed and had to try to calm her down.

At this time, Einstein stood at the fork in the metal passage, staring at Tesla without giving in. Thinking of the symptoms of the girl, she seemed a little irritable and uneasy.

An hour ago, Einstein told Kiana his guess. With regard to the conditions shown by Shirley, Einstein was basically certain that another uncontrolled consciousness must have appeared in her body. Moreover, according to Kiana, two opposing energies appeared in Shirley's body. From these, the situation is already very clear...

As far as Einstein knows, there is only one powerful Honkai creature that can develop a second personality in its body - the Herrscher.

After coming to this conclusion, Einstein planned to contact the special forces under the Anti-Entropy ME Society to take over Shiris, regardless of Kiana's panic.

She had witnessed the horror of the Herrscher with her own eyes. The perfect Second Herrscher already had the ability to destroy human civilization. Therefore, for Shiris, who showed signs of becoming a Herrscher, she would put aside all feelings and make such a decision.

However, due to Kiana's strong opposition, her plan could not be implemented as she wished.

In fact, Einstein's decision was not so easy to change, but Kiana's words made her change her mind.

"Dr. Einstein, things haven't come to that point yet. I also understand the mechanism of the generation of the Herrscher's consciousness. When they are first generated, they do not have strong control and will coexist with their hosts for a long time. And now, Shirley should have noticed her existence, so she took the initiative to enter the consciousness space and planned to nip the other party in the bud... Besides, didn't Sister Shirley also say that we should trust her..."

These are Kiana's original words. In the end, Einstein made a concession and took Shiris to a laboratory that was isolated from Honkai energy. After some treatment, he temporarily let Kiana take care of her. Einstein himself planned to find Raiden Ryoma and tell him about this matter.

However, unexpectedly, she was found by Tesla halfway, and the scene just now happened.

Originally, Tesla should have known about this matter, but thinking of the relationship between Tesla and Shirley, Einstein felt that it would be better to hide Shirley's affairs from her.

If Tesla knew that Shiris showed signs of becoming a Herrscher, he would probably become emotional and do something unpredictable because of impulse...

Moreover, the relationship between them is extraordinary. Knowing that Shiris might become a Herrscher is really a bit cruel to Tesla...

After all, if her consciousness was defeated by the Herrscher

Thinking of this, Einstein decided not to tell Tesla the true situation of Shirley for the time being, and to find a way to cover it up first.

"Something's wrong?! What's wrong with her? What happened?"

Tesla immediately panicked when he heard that something was wrong with Hillis. She reached out and grabbed Einstein's shoulder, with an undisguised look of worry on her face.

Seeing Tesla's reaction, Einstein sighed inwardly and realized that it was just as he expected. He once again determined to hide this matter from Tesla.

"Tell me quickly
