K424 of the Collapse World

Tesla whispered, and walked slowly towards Lan Feng. Although he forced himself to cheer up, the fatigue on his face was not so easy to hide.

Einstein, who came in later, looked at her, then turned his gaze to Lan Feng and shrugged slightly.

"Yeah, it's only a little. I tried my best and pushed myself a little bit."

"Ain!"

Einstein mercilessly exposed Tesla, but he paid no attention to Tesla's warning. He glanced at the girl with loose red hair beside him and sighed softly.

"Shiris...For your sake, our Dr. Tesla has been staying up late every day. Just now, after receiving your communication, he ignored his own health and rushed all the way from Experimental Base No. 5 without stopping..."

Hearing this, Lan Feng's pupils shrank and he looked at Tesla in astonishment, but the latter lowered his head a little embarrassedly. The next moment, he shook his head vigorously and raised his head with a red face.

"Don't listen to that chicken-head's nonsense. This isn't what you need to worry about, right? Aren't you in a hurry now? Then stop talking about these useless things and get started!"

"Tesla, you..."

"Stop! Don't ask me about my business now. Have you forgotten your urgent matter? Hurry up. Our ordinary physiques cannot stay with the high concentration of Houkai energy around you for too long!"

Tesla urged again, Lan Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded. But the guilt in his heart deepened again...

Tesla heaved a sigh of relief and took out a palm-sized black box from his small bag. Seeing this thing, Lan Feng's eyes moved slightly. For some reason, this kind of container always gave her a strange sense of déjà vu.

(Devil in a box...? No, it's just a container of the same type. Come to think of it, when the third collapse happens in 2014, Yaezakura will appear again...)

Although he dispelled the random thoughts in his mind, Lan Feng was also reminded of Yaezakura who would appear in the future, and he felt the pressure increased a lot.

The moment Tesla opened the container, Lan Feng looked at the box and frowned slightly.

"This fluctuation is...Soul Steel?"

"Yes, this is a product made from the collar that was dismantled earlier, and then modified. In theory, it can suppress your leaked Honkai energy."

Tesla said this and began to dismantle the metal box, intending to take out the contents.

At this point, Lan Feng's expression became a little unnatural.

"Um, the collar, I feel a little... a little embarrassed..."

"No, it's nothing like that."

Tesla shook his head, opened the box completely, and took out a light yellow metal ring slightly smaller than the collar.

"The previous collar was really insulting, so we cut it up and made it into this style."

Tesla said calmly. Lan Feng looked at the metal ring and breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the size, it seems to be a... bracelet?

195 Departure

"Soul Steel... It really makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Kiana whispered, her expression becoming a little uneasy, obviously remembering something bad.

"But your weapon is also made of soul steel, right, Kiana?"

Einstein

He said with a smile, walking closer to Kiana.

"Eludnir... is different. Although the weapons of the throne of the gods are made of soul steel, they have been specially processed to isolate the radioactive reaction of soul steel metal and will not cause adverse reactions to Honkai constitution. But that kind of thing..."

Kiana replied softly, looking at Lan Feng and Tesla not far away, her worry became stronger...

·————————————·

On the other side, Lan Feng took the pale yellow bracelet from Tesla and looked it up and down. According to Tesla, the heavy soul steel collar had been decomposed and part of it was used to make this bracelet.

It is still the original pale yellow color of soul steel, and there are many traces of splicing on the surface, which is obviously a rush job. But these only affect the appearance, the seams are not uncomfortable to touch, and the side that touches the skin has also been carefully polished. Overall, the appearance looks quite plain.

But Lan Feng didn't care about the appearance of this thing. She found a small buckle on the side of the bracelet and gently opened it, dividing the bracelet into two semicircles.

"Wearing this thing will solve my problem?"

Lan Feng asked softly, raising his left hand, intending to put the bracelet on his wrist to try out its effect first.

"Wait a moment, Shirley..."

But unexpectedly, Tesla suddenly spoke and stopped her from taking any further action.

Tesla took two steps forward, looked at the girl in front of him, pursed his lips slightly, and looked a little conflicted.

?; "Before that, I would like you to listen to my explanation of some things about this thing."

"Yeah, I'm listening."

Following Tesla's voice, Lan Feng raised his head and stared at her seriously, temporarily giving up the decision to give it a try now.

"This limiter is modified from the previous collar. Although we have strengthened its external radioactivity and transferred its function of suppressing Honkai from the inside to the outside, your body is also within its range of action, so the Honkai energy in your body will still be affected to a certain extent."

"Well, I have guessed this before, it is not a big problem. After all, I suppress the Honkai energy to hide myself, so it doesn't matter if the Honkai energy in my body is affected. When I need to fight, I will naturally release it."

Lan Feng nodded to show that he understood and waited for Tesla's next words.

"But... you should also know that when Kiana's Houkai energy was suppressed by that collar, her limbs became weak and she felt severe pain! You and Kiana should have the same physique. If you wear this thing, then it is very likely that you will have the same reaction..."

After hearing Tesla's words, Lan Feng hadn't said anything yet, but Kiana on the side couldn't wait to rush forward and looked at Lan Feng with an anxious look on her face.

"Dr. Tesla is right! Sister Shirley... our physiques are basically the same, and you will definitely be affected! Listen to me, for Honkai creatures like us, when Honkai energy is suppressed, our entire body will feel as if pierced by countless awls, even the brain! Moreover, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the body. I promise that you will never want to experience that feeling, so, Sister Shirley, you must..."

However, before Kiana could finish her words, Lan Feng gently raised his hand and waved it, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Pain...? Unfortunately, this kind of thing is meaningless to me now. Otherwise, I would experience how much damage the bastard of destiny has caused you, and decide how to repay it in the future... Tesla, other than that, is there any problem with this thing?"

"No more... But Shiris, Kiana's words are not a joke. Are you really ready? I really don't want the things I created to cause harm to you."

"Sister Shilis..."

——Click!

Lan Feng didn't continue listening to them. He directly picked up the bracelet on the table, put it on his hand, and closed the clasp of the bracelet.

After the bracelet was put on, it fit perfectly with the skin on her wrist and looked like it was customized according to her current physical condition.

"Huh? Just put it on like this and it hasn't been activated yet... What's going on?"

After putting on the bracelet, there was no reaction. Lan Feng raised his hand in some confusion, and then he saw a small metal button from the bottom of the bracelet.

“That’s how it is…”

Lan Feng smiled, and turned the switch under the nervous gaze of the three people around him...

The next moment, colorless waves that were almost visible to the naked eye flashed around Lan Feng, and the dark yellow surface of the bracelet became crystal clear.

Lan Feng stood there blankly, his purple cross-shaped pupils

The fluorescence in the mirror flickered slightly. She didn't say anything, but looked at the metal ring on her wrist, her brows slightly wrinkled, and a little haze appeared in her eyes.

"Sister Shilis! What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Kiana ran over in a panic, wanting to see what happened to the girl. She could feel that the high concentration of Honkai energy surrounding Lan Feng could no longer be sensed.

Before she came close, Lan Feng had already come to his senses, moved his eyes away from the bracelet, took a deep breath, and walked towards Kiana with his face up.

"It's okay, Kiana... I'm fine. Like I said just now, this can't affect me."

Gently shaking her head, Lan Feng spoke softly to Kiana. Although she looked no different from usual, Kiana could clearly see that there was a subtle weirdness in the expression of the girl in front of her.

At this time, Tesla also walked forward and looked at Lan Feng with some concern.

"......How about it?"

"I don't know. But we can try now."

As she spoke, Lan Feng took out her terminal and turned on the Honkai alarm system that she had previously turned off. Then she held the communicator in her hand and waited quietly.

After a while, the alarm on the terminal still did not respond. Lan Feng's expression eased slightly, and he put away his terminal again.

Lan Feng turned his head and gave Tesla a faint smile.

"The Honkai alarm was not triggered. It looks like it was a success, Tesla."

After looking at this unremarkable bracelet, Lan Feng put his hand down and calmly felt the changes in his body...

"The leakage of Honkai energy has disappeared...? Wait, Shiris, your body is not affected?"

Tesla looked at the unresponsive Honkai alarm and seemed a little surprised. She looked at Lan Feng, who seemed to be fine, and tried to ask.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Sister Shilis, can't you feel the pain caused by the suppression of Honkai energy?"

After Tesla, Kiana also came over nervously and asked softly. Seeing the worried look of the two people, Lan Feng showed a bitter smile on his face.

"The pain... is real. To be honest, this level of pain was beyond my expectations..."

Lan Feng closed his eyes gently, feeling the "pain" surging into his mind like a tide, exhaled slightly, and said nonchalantly.

195 Departure>>

"Sister Shirley, do you have that feeling?! But..."

Kiana screamed, her expression becoming more and more worried. But seeing that Lan Feng didn't seem to be in any pain, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that Shirisi was enduring such severe pain at this moment, but she could still talk to herself and Tesla with such a normal expression?

"Don't worry, like I said before, this kind of thing doesn't make sense to me."

"What? That doesn't make sense...what does that mean?"

"That's exactly what it means, Kiana..."

Hearing Kiana's question, Lan Feng responded softly, her tone gentle. However, there was still a hint of coldness in her eyes. She ignored the digitized "pain" that kept invading her mind and turned around. Slowly opening her arms, she hugged the silver-haired girl tightly in Kiana's slightly surprised expression.

"Sister Shilis...?"

"Now I finally understand what you felt before... Kiana, I never thought that when this limiter is activated, it would produce such terrible pain... I will make those fateful bastards who put the collar on you pay back a hundredfold!"

Lan Feng whispered, with angry eyes flashing with the luster of water...

Back in the ruins, she had seen with her own eyes how Kiana fell to the ground powerlessly after the collar was activated. Lan Feng originally thought that she was just weak because she was deprived of her physical strength. But now, she has experienced it herself and realized that it is accompanied by severe pain that is enough to destroy a person's nervous system...

Due to Lan Feng's physical condition, all stimulating sensations that would affect her thinking would be converted into digital information and sent directly to the brain without passing through the nerve center. Therefore, she would not be affected by any strong pain.

However, relying on these data information, she could also understand how terrible this pain was. Lan Feng had no doubt that if she were to endure this level of pain, she would be tortured to the point of mental breakdown within a few dozen seconds.

Lan Feng couldn't imagine what kind of things Kiana had experienced during her time in Tianming...

"Let's put these things aside for now, Sister Shilis...Are you really okay? This level of pain..."

Kiana gently broke free from Lan Feng's arms and looked at the girl in front of her worriedly. But no matter how she looked, she could not

She couldn't see any pain in the other person's purple crossed pupils. But the more this happened, the more heartbroken Kiana felt. No matter what, she didn't want the person she cherished the most to experience that kind of hellish pain...

After a brief thought, Kiana raised her head and looked directly into Lan Feng's eyes, her eyes full of seriousness.

"Sister Shirley is really amazing... But this feeling is no longer an ordinary level of pain. If you keep forcing yourself to endure it, one day..."

"Yes, Shirley. So this thing is only a semi-finished product. Take it down first and let me make some modifications to it."

Lan Feng shook his head in confusion at Kiana and Tesla's concerns, took a step back, and stopped Tesla from taking off the bracelet.

"That's not the case. You misunderstood... Didn't I tell you before? Actually, my body has no sense of pain."

Tesla and Kiana were both shocked by these words. Even Einstein, who was standing farther away, came forward with some concern.

"What...you don't feel pain? But didn't you just say that you felt what Kiana was feeling..."

"I don't really have a sense of pain, but I can still feel pain. It's just that this 'pain' feels a little different..."

In response to the doubts of the three people in front of him, Lan Feng smiled and waved his hand, and briefly explained his physical condition to them.

·————————————·

"...That's about it. Under the effect of the evolution of Honkai energy, all my strong feelings have become information, including the pain I feel now, so don't worry that I won't be able to bear it."

Lan Feng explained to them softly, raised his left hand gently, looked at the crystal yellow bracelet on his wrist, his eyes became a little deep.

"So that's how it is. It's really surprising that the injection of Honkai energy can actually cause such an evolution in the human body..."

Tesla seemed a little surprised after hearing Lan Feng's words, but Einstein easily accepted this fact.

"That's true. Powerful Honkai creatures will undergo some kind of evolution or mutation in their bodies due to Honkai energy. That's how those high-level warriors with unique appearances are created."

Einstein said this, but looking at Lan Feng in front of her, there was some doubt in her eyes.

"But research shows that when Honkai can mutate the host, it usually prioritizes strengthening the host's weaknesses. The greater the weakness, the greater the mutation. And Shiris, your pain system has undergone such a big change... Could it be that you are actually afraid of pain?"

"Uh...yeah..."

Lan Feng was a little embarrassed about this. She was afraid of pain, that was true. When Lan Feng had just arrived in this world and had not yet obtained Honkai energy, she almost cried because of the pain she felt when she fell off the bed after leaving her destiny.
