K424 of the Collapse World

Mei didn't know what was happening to her body, nor did she know what those purple particles meant. Without her knowing, the city had begun to undergo some kind of strange change...

"Are you really going to do this, Mr. Raiden Ryoma?"

In the building of ME Company, in an unused office that was not usually used, Einstein frowned slightly, looked at the man sitting at the desk in front of him, and tilted his head in confusion.

"Shiris has already dealt with the spy for you, which means that Cocolia's plan to frame you has been defeated. There is absolutely no need for you to do this..."

Einstein said, looking at the resignation documents that Raiden Ryoma had placed on the table, his expression seemed a little anxious. But the man was indifferent to this.

"Haha... That's why I have to do this. That woman... Cocolia probably thinks she has already won. In this case, I might as well take advantage of her and propose to resign voluntarily through a press conference, so that the woman can completely put her mind at ease. In this way, her fox tail will be exposed..."

"But... the internal management of me company..."

"Don't worry, this voluntary resignation will not have much impact on my personal reputation. Moreover, I only nominally handed over the position of president to Mr. Kazama, and he will manage the superficial affairs of ME. In fact, I am still staying in the company on the surface. Moreover, the core anti-entropy part of ME is still in my own hands. It's a good opportunity for me to see what that woman is going to do..."

As he spoke, Raiden Ryoma's expression also took on some malice. To be fair, he was able to create an internationally renowned large enterprise and develop it to such a scale, so he was naturally arrogant. But Cocolia actually wanted to attack him, so he had to be prepared for revenge.

He gently waved his hand, indicating that Einstein didn't need to worry about it. Seeing the man's confident look, Einstein had to give up trying to dissuade him even if he was still worried. After all, this was a decision made by Raiden Ryoma himself.

People don't need to meddle in other people's affairs.

"Okay, I won't say much. I just hope you won't get yourself into trouble... Also, what do you think about the quantum beacon that Shilis brought back?"

As Einstein asked, a terminal light screen popped up in front of him. The image on it showed the dark blue crystal with the double half-ring mark.

"Well... didn't Shilis say that we need to use the girl's genes to create a mindless clone as a carrier before we can activate the beacon? As for now... it's better not to rush into anything."

Looking at the image on the video, Thunder Horse shook his head. The next moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, the man's expression became a little subtle.

"By the way...I heard from Dr. Tesla this morning that something seems to have happened to Miss Hillis?"

"Ah? Well... yes, she did have some problems, psychologically..."

Although Einstein was somewhat surprised at how quickly the news spread, he did not show anything. They had been staying at the ME Club for some time, and as the owner of the club, it was understandable that Raiden Ryoma knew about this the next day. However, Einstein did not understand why Raiden Ryoma suddenly brought up the topic of that girl.

"About this, Dr. Einstein. I have something personal I would like to discuss with you."

"Personal question?"

Hearing this, Einstein's slightly narrowed eyes slowly widened, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and the expression on his face began to become serious.

(…Shirley’s matter?! I never thought that the first person to mention Shirley’s matter to me would be you, Raiden Ryoma. But, it just so happens…)

Einstein thought silently. She had not planned to discuss the matter of the girl with others so early, but now that Thunder Dragon Horse had brought it up, she would listen to what the other party had to say...

"Actually, Dr. Einstein... I wonder if you've noticed that Miss Hillis's current personality has changed subtly since we first met her..."

Hearing this, Einstein nodded.

"Yes, Dr. Tesla mentioned this issue to me a long time ago. But at that time, we just thought that it was a sign that Shirley had let down her guard against us. But now it's different... Although it's very subtle, I can already feel that her mind seems to be gradually regressing..."

"Yes! It is indeed like that... Although it may be a little rude to say this, her willpower, her ability to analyze and judge various situations, and her performance in socializing are all very different from before... If we say that Shiris was still a hidden ally to us a year ago..."

"...Now he is like a naughty child who has not grown up."

Einstein responded to Raiden Ryoma's words expressionlessly. Hearing this, Raiden Ryoma could not help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

225 Undercurrent>>

"It's a bit too much to say that she's a naughty child... Dr. Einstein. But it's true that as time goes by, she's changed more and more. Her interactions with us have changed from being cautious and treading on thin ice at the beginning to being as familiar as relatives and friends. Although I don't reject this,... this rapid change is obviously abnormal. It's as if her mind has been constantly disturbed by something. I'm a little worried that if I let her go on like this, something irreparable will happen in the future..."

"You seem to care about Shiris... Mr. Raiden Ryoma?"

Hearing Einstein's somewhat teasing but harmless words, Raiden Ryoma sighed helplessly again.

"No matter what, Miss Hillis...is my savior in a sense. If it weren't for her, I would have been tricked by that female vixen without even knowing it. So, as a way to repay her, I have to find a way to find out what happened to Miss Hillis."

"She destroyed so many of your facilities and experimental equipment, which should add up to hundreds of millions of yen, right? You not pursuing this matter is already the greatest reward for her, right? But why...?"

"Let's put things in perspective. I don't want to watch Miss Hillis slowly lose herself. Even if she appears fine on the surface, I don't want her to become someone else on the inside. So... I will do my best to help her."

In response to Raiden Ryuma's insistence, Einstein's serious face showed a gentle smile.

"As expected, choosing to trust you in the beginning was the right choice. Even though you have the power to influence the world, you are indeed different from the radicals and the guys with destiny, Mr. Raiden Ryoma."

Hearing this, Raiden Ryoma was slightly stunned, and once again showed a helpless smile.

"So you didn't trust me before? That's a bit too much... Einstein

Doctor. Don’t look at me like this, I also have a daughter, how can I be the same as those guys…”

Raiden Ryoma said seriously. But the next moment, as if he thought of his daughter Mei, his expression relaxed and the smile on his face could hardly be concealed.

Einstein looked at the man in front of her. Although she kept smiling, her eyes gradually became deeper...

(But...if something happened to your daughter, would you still be able to maintain this attitude...Raiden Ryoma?)

Although he trusted his ally, Raiden Ryoma, Einstein had no doubt that if something irreparable happened to his daughter, this man would inevitably undergo some terrible transformation, just like the other man who lost his daughter, the frenzied Russian warlord...

Einstein felt a chill immediately after assuming that situation. If Raiden Ryoma, who was in charge of ME Company, turned evil, it would be even more terrifying than Cocolia. She secretly made a decision that she must not let certain things happen...

Einstein drove these things out of his mind for the time being, took a breath, and focused on the present again.

"Well, in that case, let's find a time to talk to Miss Shilis. Of course, before that, let's finish what she asked us to do... Mr. Raiden Ryoma, has the genetic analysis of that hair been completed?"

"Of course. Although MassiveElectric's main research and development direction is electronic chips, it also has several biological research institutes under its umbrella. If it's just a simple human cloning, there's no problem at all, although it's illegal..."

Shrugging slightly, Raiden Ryoma said with a relaxed expression. Hearing this, Einstein smiled and was about to mention the specific steps of the experimental operation when the door of this idle office was suddenly knocked...

——Bang bang bang!

Einstein and Raiden Ryoma looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. They had agreed to talk in this idle office because they didn't want to be disturbed by other things, but now...

"(whispering) I don't remember meeting anyone else."

"(whispering) Me too... But, I have a rough idea of ​​who it is that can find us in this situation..."

Einstein said helplessly, looking towards the door.

"Please come in."

The door was gently opened, and as the girl with red twin ponytails slowly walked in, Einstein immediately showed an expression of "as expected".

"It is you, Dr. Tesla. You are the only one who has the authority to use the terminal to find my location, except for the leader."

"I'm sorry, Aiyin... and Mr. Raiden Ryoma, I have something to talk to you about..."

Seeing the two people sitting at the table, Tesla seemed a little uneasy. She closed the door again, came to the two people sitting at the table, took out her terminal, and after a simple operation, displayed a light screen in front of the two people.

"This morning... Shilis went out alone early in the morning and only used the terminal to write this message in our private channel."

Hearing Tesla's helpless voice, Einstein and Raiden Ryoma came over with some concern, wanting to see what was written on it.

"I'm really sorry for making everyone worry about me because of my situation. I've been feeling a little irritable these past two days, so I plan to go out and relax. I don't know when I'll be back, so please don't worry - Shirley."

"this......"

"emmm..."

Seeing these words, the corners of Raiden Ryoma's mouth twitched, but Einstein's expression became a little subtle. She thought about it for a moment, then took out her terminal, opened the holographic map of the Far East, and entered Shilis's name in the search box.

The next moment, a small blue light appeared in the city of Changkong. Seeing this, Einstein breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh...it seems that she is wearing the terminal and the limiter properly. Besides, isn't it nothing? Just like she said, she just went out to relax, there is nothing wrong with it, right?"

Einstein said helplessly, looking at Tesla who was in a low mood, with some confusion in his eyes.

"But... this is very strange! Shilis used to be able to stay at the base for many years, but now she suddenly leaves. It seems a little abnormal no matter how you look at it!"

Tesla said this with some excitement. But after hearing her words, Einstein sighed, his previously slightly widened glass-colored eyes narrowed again, and his tone became as lazy as usual...

"If you're so worried, why don't you just lock her up by your side, or go out with her in the morning? Even now, it's not too late to find her with the terminal. What's the point of worrying here?"

"This... let's not talk about this for now. Besides, when Shirley went out, Kiana didn't follow her. This is also very strange!"

"it is good

OK, got it...”

"Ain! I'm serious...!"

At this point, Tesla was already somewhat speechless, but she still stubbornly refuted. In fact, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Shirley going out, but for some reason, she always had an indescribable sense of foreboding in her heart, and she didn't know how to express it...

Lei Dian Long Ma looked at the two older female doctors who were arguing like little girls, and sighed with a wry smile. Although he was used to it, Lei Dian Long Ma still felt a little unbelievable. Before he met Tesla and Einstein, he had never thought that these two great scientists who were famous in the outside world were actually like this...

Looking at the chattering Tesla again, Raiden Ryoma shook his head slightly.

"It seems that Shiris is not the only one whose personality has become abnormal..."

·————————————·

At the same time, somewhere, a petite black-haired girl silently stared at the image in front of her, taking in everything that had just happened...

The image ended at the last sentence of Raiden Ryoma. She exhaled, turned off the light screen, stood up, and stretched gently. The pure black pupils reflected a sharp light.

"Although the headquarters' order is not to take action for the time being... However, under special circumstances, I should not give up such an opportunity. Claudia, I guess you think so too, right?"

She muttered to herself and took out her terminal again. Her cute little face showed a mature and steady look.

"Besides, if I'm going to take action, I'm not alone. It's time to make things clear to you... Lin."

226 Betrayer

Far East, downtown Changkong...

There weren't many pedestrians in the city in the early morning. A silver-haired girl with two braids walked on the street expressionlessly, heading towards a group of buildings not far away.

"In the end... there was only one dead man in the entire area? It's really weird. How could there be only one dead man when there was an outbreak of Honkai? So, what is going on?"

She whispered to herself, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

The night before, after executing the high-ranking assassin in the alley, she began to investigate. However, after almost visiting the entire outer ring area of ​​Changkong City, she did not find even one assassin.

This is obviously abnormal. The girl who has been fighting against Honkai for many years knows very well that the spread of Honkai energy is like a plague. Generally speaking, once there is an Honkai outbreak that is enough to generate high-level dead soldiers, the scope of influence must be quite large. Like yesterday, only one dead soldier was found. No matter how you look at it, it is abnormal...

"It's still a long time before this school starts...why don't you try to look for it again?"

Taking out her cell phone from her bag, the girl looked at the time and muttered to herself. Inadvertently, she saw the date displayed on the screen of her cell phone and fell into a brief silence.

February 2013, 12......

"Today is my birthday, but I don't know where that bastard dad went... Never mind. This kind of thing doesn't matter. If I hadn't come to find him, I wouldn't have come to this place."

Putting away her phone, the girl walked forward again. Looking at Qianyu Academy, which covered a large area in front of her, her eyes were somewhat gloomy.

"Far East... What kind of secrets are hidden in this city?"

The girl muttered to herself absentmindedly, looking at the gate of Qianyu College which was right in front of her. Suddenly, she stopped and turned her head to a small alley on her right, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"That sound... is there a fight? It's rare to hear that in a big city like this. But, this place is very close to that school, so I'm a little concerned... Let's go check it out."

After making this decision, the girl turned around and walked into the slightly dark alley. After several turns, she came to the place where the sound came from. However, it seemed that the matter was over...

The three bad-looking young men had already fallen to the ground with bruised faces and noses, and were obviously unconscious. Not far away, a disheveled girl was kneeling in the corner, wiping her tears and sobbing softly.

The girl who seemed to have been violated was wearing the same white uniform as herself. After seeing this scene, the silver-haired girl immediately understood what happened and frowned slightly. But she didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she looked at the fist mark on the bad boy's face with some concern and shook her head slightly.

The crying girl should not be able to do such a thing. It seems that someone took action in advance to save the girl from these bad youths and has left now.

Noticing the silver-haired girl's gaze, the girl sitting in the corner slowly raised her head and looked at the silver-haired girl with a slightly straight gaze.

Since the other party had already looked over, the silver-haired girl gave up the idea of ​​leaving immediately. She walked slowly over to the girl.

In front of.

"Are you OK?"

The silver-haired girl asked, but she received no response. The other girl stared at her, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"It really seems like..."

"what?"

After hearing the silver-haired girl's question, she slowly came back to her senses, picked up her torn clothes numbly, and stood up with the help of the wall.

"You look... like the lady who saved me just now, really..."

As she spoke softly, she slowly pulled up her clothes. Until then, the black-haired girl still looked a little absent-minded. After she finished speaking, she suddenly woke up.

"Oh! Yes, I'm sorry... I said unnecessary words without thinking... I'm really sorry..."

As she spoke, she bowed and apologized in a panic, obviously she had an inferiority complex and it had become a habit. Seeing this, the silver-haired girl raised her hand to stop her.

"No problem. What's that person you just mentioned who looks very similar to me?"

"Ah? This is really incredible... When I was being bullied by these guys..., that girl saved me. She looks a lot like you... But her hair is purple. Oh, by the way! My classmate, judging from your uniform, we should be in the same school, right? My name is Asakura Miyuki, may I ask..."

The girl named Asakura Miyuki rubbed her hands together and spoke to the silver-haired girl in a somewhat reserved manner. When she mentioned the color purple, the silver-haired girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she walked forward with a little surprise, and directly grabbed Asakura Miyuki's shoulders, her expression revealing excitement.
