K424 of the Collapse World

Having said that, she turned around and pointed at the crystal in Lan Feng's hand.

In response, Lan Feng frowned slightly, unable to accept such an explanation.

"Although I don't quite understand, didn't Xi'er disappear anyway? Then what's the point of leaving this crystal behind? Can it bring Xi'er back?"

Hearing this, Hill looked at Lan Feng with some confusion, then nodded.

"Eh...? That's right, it can indeed bring the child and the stigmata back to this world. But then again, you yourself are using a device that uses quantum principles, don't you even understand this?"

Having said that, Hill looked at Lan Feng, who tilted her head slightly. Seeing her confused look, he knew that this girl really knew nothing about this.

"Oh, you are really... Logically speaking, shouldn't the replicants have their knowledge and memories implanted in their brains from the beginning? You are really a unique existence... That's right, I almost forgot that you are a 'defective product' with emotions, so naturally you can't be judged by the common sense of replicants~ This is my negligence, I'm sorry."

Hill sighed, and although her tone was a little mocking, it was obviously without any malice. She looked at Lan Feng, who had no expression on his face, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Don't be so serious. Didn't I just tell you that they will be fine? So, don't be so nervous and relax a little."

"...Well, I believe you."

Seeing Hill's relaxed look, Lan Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently, and the purple light particles in his pupils slowly dimmed.

"That's right. To put it simply, when you took out the lance before, you did it by shifting the observation system of quantum space, reproducing the quantum state of matter into reality. So, Shirley, can you open the quantum space by yourself?"

"This... I can't do it yet. Don't all quantum things rely on terminals to be taken out?"

"That's right. In this era, we need terminals as a medium to affect quantum matter and reproduce it. Now, the child's body has been completely quantized, and you can understand the role of this crystal as a terminal that can be used to release the child's quantized state and let her out of the quantum sea. Do you understand?"

"Then why don't you let her out? It's not a comfortable experience to stay in that kind of empty, pure white space all the time..."

Lan Feng said softly, intending to use Honkai energy to penetrate the crystal. Seeing her action, Hill quickly waved his hand to stop her.

"Wait, wait! Don't be impatient. Her consciousness is already on the verge of complete quantization due to the backlash of the stigmata. Even if she is materialized with a medium now, it can only last for a short while. So now is not the time to materialize her. They need an entity to attach to!"

"entity......?"

"Well! A body to hold her consciousness. Just use her genes to create an unconscious replica, and then let their mind bodies move in... However, the operation is a little troublesome. It must be operated by someone who is good at quantum technology to synthesize quantum consciousness and material body without risk. These are what I was worried about just now. However, although it is a bit troublesome, it is much better than having no hope at all..."

Hill spoke softly, with a hint of helplessness on his smiling face.

But when Lan Feng heard this, she lowered her head thoughtfully, and soon she raised her head with a smile.

"About this, there is no problem at all! I have a way to contact someone who can conduct this experiment. Apart from that, the only thing needed is Xier's genes, right?"

Lan Feng asked with a chuckle. She had not forgotten that among the anti-entropy conservatives she belonged to, Liesel Albert Einstein, who was the poster girl, was best at quantum science. Moreover, in terms of general cloning technology, conservative scientists should be able to do it.

"Hey, you can find someone who is good at quantum research

Well, let me make it clear in advance that I am not talking about an ordinary quantum technology scholar, but a scientist who is truly good at quantum physics and proficient in experiments!"

"Yes, that's the kind of person I can find. It can be said that in this era, she is the one who perfected quantum technology and applied it to terminal technology. This level should be enough, right?"

Looking at the shocked Hill, Lan Feng smiled secretly in his heart.

"Eh...?! Is he such an amazing person? But then again, can such an amazing person really be trusted?"

"Yes, no problem, I can definitely trust her, because...she is my partner in the organization~"

As he spoke, Lan Feng puffed out his chest with a hint of pride. If the people he knew were good enough, it would be a very proud thing when he talked about them to other people.

"I see... I almost forgot that you are also a member of a super-armed organization. Well, in this case, apart from finding her genes, there will be basically no problem~"

Hill chuckled, thinking that he would soon be able to reunite with his former partners. Apart from feeling a little inexplicably uncomfortable, he was in a pretty good mood.

"Well, as for the genes... we got them! Without further ado, let's go to the orphanage quickly. We should be able to find Xier's hair in the bedroom there... Cocolia won't be back so soon, so we can do all this without anyone noticing and leave, bringing Xier back to life!"

Hearing Lan Feng's proposal, Hill smiled and was about to nod in agreement, when suddenly, she seemed to remember something, put her hand into her pocket, and took out a red and white metal sheet.

"Oh, I almost forgot. That kid also took this thing out of the stigmata..."

Seeing the piece of metal in Hill's hand, Lan Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and he instantly recognized this thing as a part of a girl's mecha...

Without noticing Lan Feng's slightly dazed expression, Hill looked at the metal piece in his hand, then turned his gaze to Lan Feng in front of him again.

"This should be some kind of specialized intelligent armored device with the power of 'reconstruction'. That child...seems to be planning to give this thing to someone. She just handed it to me, and seemed very anxious. But later, she was forced to return to the quantum state without explaining anything clearly. Shirley, do you know what that child is planning to do?"

"...Well, I know a little bit about the purpose of this thing and who Xier plans to give it to."

Lan Feng smiled bitterly and sighed, then took the glowing piece of metal.

"The super alloy shield of the heavy-duty bunny... No, if it is in this state, it should be the core of the mecha now..."

Gently weighing the thin piece, Lan Feng held it in his palm, stretched out his other hand towards Hill, and handed the crystal connected to the quantum space to Hill's hand.

"I'm sorry, regarding this thing, I may have something else to deal with next. You can take the 'key' of the quantum space first. After all... I have to take some responsibility for Xier's friends. After all, this matter was completely disrupted by me..."

As he spoke, Lan Feng shook his head in annoyance. According to the original development, after Seele disappeared, Bronya would strongly ask Cocolia to let her participate in the experiment, and even threatened to go to the quantum space to accompany Seele, and was finally persuaded by Seele to come back. But now, although Seele is still in the quantum space, the "Heavy Bunny" as a way to save her has been left outside. It seems that Seele intends to let herself and others directly hand this thing over to Bronya. She probably didn't expect that Bronya would also participate in the experiment like her and enter the quantum space...

214 remaining issues >>

(But what should I do...? Should I give it to her in person? But if so, how should I tell her? Bronya and I have never met each other...)

Hill put away the crystal in his hand and looked at Lan Feng again.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Well... it's not a big deal. It's okay. Our destination hasn't changed. It's still the Cocolia Orphanage."

Lan Feng called up the holographic map function from the terminal, confirmed the location of the Cocolia Orphanage again, and quickly rushed over there...

Destiny Headquarters, floating island in the sky...

"Lady Claudia, our satellite survey system has just issued an alarm. Two high-intensity Honkai energy reactions were detected in the coastal areas of eastern Russia. It is estimated that the Honkai creatures are above the Emperor level..."

Inside the communications center, Claudia, an S-class Valkyrie and combat commander, sat at her desk, listening to the reports from her subordinate observers and frowned slightly.

"only

Emperor class? Shouldn't this kind of thing be reported to Amber? And the eastern part of Russia should be the sphere of influence of Anti-Entropy, why... I see. "

Claudia thought for a moment and immediately realized what had happened. She chuckled and activated the troop communication.

She is currently the combat commander and is not responsible for making decisions. Since the order has been issued to her, it means that the battle has to begin...

Although it was a little sudden, as a senior executive, Claudia did not panic.

"Since you are giving me these reports, that means you have received the operational instructions from Amber, right?"

"Yes, Lord Amber conveyed Bishop Otto's order and asked us to investigate this matter."

"It turned out that this order was given by Lord Otto himself..."

Hearing this, Claudia whispered to herself, secretly guessing what big thing had happened. If it was just an ordinary emperor-level Honkai beast, it would be enough to hand it over to the local branches for processing. How could it possibly alarm that adult...

"Lady Claudia, when the satellite captured the energy reaction, it automatically sent two image feedbacks to the headquarters. I will send them to you now."

As the communicator spoke, the encrypted file was transferred to Claudia's terminal. Claudia immediately opened it, and the moment she saw the screen, her pupils shrank slightly.

"..."

The first picture shows a huge water column rising into the sky. The seawater seems to be pulled by some kind of energy, rising upward as if it has lost gravity. There must be this extremely powerful energy permeating the surroundings. But other than that, nothing can be seen clearly in the water column.

However, in the second picture, Claudia spotted a familiar figure...

"I see. No wonder Lord Otto was alarmed. I didn't expect it to be you..."

Although the satellite images were blurry due to the long distance, Claudia recognized it at a glance. The six-winged figure floating in the air and confronting five large mechanical warships was the one whose identity was confirmed a year ago.

"The third Herrscher! K424... Those ships that fought against her should be Anti-Entropy's ships, right? They are indeed Herrschers, ahem... Hmph, have they turned against Anti-Entropy so quickly..."

Claudia frowned, coughed twice, pursed her lips, and then shook her head with a sneer. She pushed the screen showing the picture aside and looked at the communication image again.

"So, what are the orders?"

"Recover Project Sirin experimental subject K424. This is Lord Otto's order."

"So, the means of combat are entirely up to me?"

"Yes, you are in full charge, Mistress Claudia."

“Hehe… I see.”

Claudia smiled, turned off the call, casually pulled out a piece of toilet paper from the table, gently wiped the corner of her mouth, and threw the tissue into the half-full paper basket under the desk.

"K424? Cecilia? Or the Third Herrscher? ...Whoever you are, let's settle accounts with you this time."

Mumbling softly to herself, she called up the Sky Mandate Command System and began to deploy enough troops to arrive on time based on the target's location.

"A branch that is close to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and has sufficient combat power... Tsk, is it actually there?"

Claudia frowned slightly, looking at a small country in East Asia on the holographic map, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What bad luck... Never mind. She may be a naive person, but the situation is urgent and I can't be picky. Besides, if I let her hunt down the 'Third Herrscher', it would be interesting, right?"

K424's current appearance has basically lost the characteristics of the Kaslana family. Claudia is not worried at all that after that person learns of K424's identity, he will do the same thing as Claire. If she dares to betray her destiny, Lord Otto will probably clean up the mess first...

Russia, Kokolya Orphanage...

Sitting on the wooden chair in front of the window, Bronya stared blankly at the blue sky outside the window. For some reason, even though she knew that Seele was taken away by her mother, she still couldn't let go. This strange ominous feeling, accompanied by her slightly irritable mood, continued until this moment, when the sun was setting...

The already cold lunch was placed on the table. Looking at the food, Bronya had no appetite at all even though her stomach was empty.

"Xi'er...what happened? We've only been apart for a day, why do I feel so...uncomfortable?"

Covering her chest, Bronya breathed with some difficulty. Under the heavy psychological effect, she felt as if a thousand-pound weight was pressed on her chest, and she felt more and more

I can't breathe...

Suddenly, Bronya, who had a confused look on her face just now, raised her head, and her empty eyes became sharp in an instant!

(I have never heard of footsteps before... it's an intruder!)

Without having time to think about it, Bronya immediately entered a state of preparation after making this judgment...

The footsteps stopped in front of her door and knocked gently. The next moment, as a white hand pushed the door open, Bronya's body quickly tensed up, and her calloused hands clenched into fists...

"excuse me......"

As the door opened, an unfamiliar female voice sounded at the door. Before she finished speaking, Bronya instantly burst out with strength and rushed out! She punched the figure in the throat!

--Snapped! !

However, Bronya's full-strength punch was easily blocked by that hand! Even when the punch was received, the wrist did not tremble at all. Bronya was slightly startled and immediately stepped back, quickly grabbed the table knife on the table, held it in her hand, and looked at the purple-haired girl standing at the door with vigilance.

"Well, nice to meet you, Ms. Bronya. If possible, please don't be so nervous. My name is Silis Kaslana, and I'm Seele's... friend."

The girl with purple hair and purple eyes kept smiling. As she spoke, she slowly walked into the room under Bronya's slightly dull gaze...

215 Simple Trust

"You are...Xi'er's friend?"

When Bronya heard Lan Feng mention Seele's name, she was slightly startled, and the hostility in her eyes immediately dissipated. Although she was still on guard, the atmosphere was at least no longer as tense as before.

The moment Bronya came back to think, she recalled Lan Feng's self-introduction and was startled again, carefully observing the girl with long purple hair in front of her.

"...Wait, you...you are Shiris?!"

Lan Feng was also a little surprised when he saw Bronya suddenly open her eyes wide with a look of disbelief.

"Huh? Do you know me?"

"Yes... Seele once mentioned you to Bronya, and..."

Bronya hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Xier's bedside table, pulled out a photo frame from underneath and handed it to Lan Feng.

"Besides, Seele also showed Bronya your photo, so now Bronya can recognize you, Sister Seele."

Lan Feng was a little uncomfortable with Bronya's sudden change of address. He didn't understand why this little girl, whom he had never met before, could be so close to him. In Lan Feng's impression, Bronya should be a cold, pseudo-three-innocent little loli with a sharp tongue. As for the relatively gentle time with Seele, it was also very short...

(By the way, Bronya hasn’t participated in the x-10 experiment yet, so her emotional circuits haven’t been damaged, and her legs are fine... So, Xing didn’t push her down the stairs? That’s right, I was always by her side at the time, so Xing wouldn’t have grown crooked like before...)

Lan Feng thought silently, and after taking the photo frame, he did not immediately look through it, but continued to look at Bronya in front of him. Looking at this girl who had completely let go of her hostility, Lan Feng sighed softly, and stopped dwelling on those things, with a faint smile on his face again.

"Is that so...Okay, but I didn't expect you to recognize me so easily. I thought it would take a lot of effort to explain it..."

"Although the photo of Sis Shiris seems to be from a few years ago, and she was still very young, in fact, she is not very different from her current appearance, so Bronya is unlikely to make a mistake. Although I am a little concerned about your eyes, this should not be something Bronya should be concerned about."

Hearing this, Lan Feng blinked his eyes and soon realized that Bronya was talking about his cross-eyes that were different from those of ordinary people. However, compared to this, Lan Feng raised the wooden photo frame in his hand in a strange way and opened the cover of the flip-type photo frame.

"Hey~~ My photos? Did Xier still keep such things? But why don't I remember taking any photos when I was in the orphanage?"

However, after seeing the photo in the frame, Lan Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips. In this palm-sized photo frame, there was a half-length photo of a girl with purple hair and purple eyes. She looked about ten years old and her face looked quite immature. Lan Feng recognized it at a glance. It was obviously what he looked like in the past, but where did this photo come from?

After just thinking about it for a moment, Lan Feng clapped his hands.

"Oh, right, there was a part of the physical examination when I first entered the orphanage where I had to take a photo. This should be from that time... But it always feels a bit weird to put this ID photo in a frame... But I have to say, I looked really cute before~ Well, no wonder I was picked up by a lolita control guy..."

Shamelessly narcissistic, Lan Feng returned the photo frame to Bronya. She could probably imagine that Seele must have asked Cocolia to print the photo for her. Otherwise, she would have left the orphanage and betrayed her mother. Cocolia would definitely not take the initiative to print out her photo and make it into a photo frame.
