K424 of the Collapse World

Despite giving orders, Sora still kept a sweet smile and winked at Lin. Although these cute actions were exactly the same as Lin's impression of Sora, now, the feeling she once had when facing Sora could no longer be found...

"...I understand, So...No, Master Heather."

At this point, even if Lin was not very good at thinking, she could guess that this girl named Sora Heiser could never be a "barely qualified" B-level Valkyrie. Putting aside her apparent strength, the fact that she could directly manipulate the intelligence system of the Destiny Organization made Sora's identity somewhat intriguing.

However, for Lin now, this matter no longer matters. Since she has decided to return to the identity of Valkyrie, the identity of this "chief" is not that important.

Turning her head again to look at the buildings covered in thick smoke in the distance, Lin took a deep breath and her expression gradually became indifferent.

(I’m really sorry... but I really can’t agree with your approach. Destroying the Destiny Organization? That’s not something a Valkyrie should say...!)

·————————————·

Looking at the Honkai energy reaction found on the detector, Ji Zi's pupils shrank slightly. The next moment, her whole temperament changed and she instantly entered a combat state.

Because the place where the Honkai energy reaction was discovered was only half a block away from where they were now!

"Extremely high concentration of Honkai energy...! I see. Was it not discovered in time because of the trace amount? However, even if the detection index shows a trace amount, it must be related to the dead men found in the city..."

While talking to herself, she began to check the equipment she was carrying. The casual clothes on her body were actually combat uniforms made of reinforced fibers, which had a certain degree of defense against Honkai erosion. In addition, considering the concealment, Jizi only brought a crystal sword with an energy-structured blade, and the two team members only had regular pulse pistols. However, even with such light equipment, the combination of an A-level Valkyrie and two B-level Valkyries was enough to defeat regular high-level death soldiers.

(However, the high concentration of Houkai energy that can only be detected within a certain distance always feels a bit strange... But, this is probably just a coincidence... Yes, if it is just a situation of this magnitude, it is completely under control!)

"Major Himeko, we..."

"Well, go ahead and deal with the threat. The other party is still moving."

Jizi silently recalled the battle in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk a few days ago. After quickly coming to her senses, she put the matter behind her for the time being and focused on the present.

After making a gesture to her two team members, the two accompanying Valkyries also began to confirm their armaments. Afterwards, Jizi uploaded the basic information to the headquarters, and the group prepared for battle and moved towards the location shown on the map. It was only half a block away, and they could arrive in a minute...

(Let me see... What kind of guy is the culprit of this incident?)

As she thought about it, Jizi tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword, her fingers constantly rubbing the switch, looking full of fighting spirit. But now, if she knew what would happen in one minute, she would never make such a decision so easily...

......

(Damn it...! Why is it her?! Is this really just a coincidence?!)

Hiding behind the wall at the intersection, Ji Zi looked solemnly at the figure walking slowly in the alley, with cold sweat on her back...

Arriving at the area where the collapse was detected, Ji Zi glanced from afar and saw the girl with long purple hair, and the next moment, she froze on the spot.

"Target confirmed, source of Honkai energy..."

"Distance: 24.15m"

「Honkai energy prediction value: 2500hw–3000hw」

......

The synthesized sound of the detector continued to come out of the headset, but Jizi did not take any action. Because at this moment, she had never expected to meet that nightmare-like enemy here...

(The Third Herrscher...! I see, her original target was the Far East? This is troublesome... I need to inform Theresa as soon as possible, but if they continue like this, they will be discovered...)

With her back pressed tightly against the wall, Ji Zi's eyes were filled with panic. The two Valkyries accompanying her were in front of her.

An ambush was set up in the alley in the distance. Originally, they separated to form a joint attack, to kill the collapsed creatures safely and efficiently, and to prevent them from escaping. But now, the original separate action tactics have become a death warrant that hinders evacuation...

Communication? How could she dare to move when she couldn't even breathe? Who knew how sharp the Herrscher's perception was? At least now, Ji Zi didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements, for fear of alarming the third Herrscher.

As for fighting, she did think about it just now, but she rejected it immediately. Even if it was a surprise attack at close range, Jizi was not sure that she could defeat a Herrscher. Moreover, the battle now was different from the previous one. In the empty sea, they could use the most powerful weapons to fight against the Herrscher without any scruples, without worrying about anything else. But in the city, their previous advantages would be gone! Moreover, there were only three Valkyries at the scene at the moment. Regardless of whether their weak fighting power could defeat the Herrscher, the powerful energy of the Herrscher that was enough to cause large-scale collapse would give them an absolute advantage in the subsequent battles...

(In this case... what should I do?!)

Thinking of this, Jizi was immediately in a dilemma. The current situation was completely beyond her ability. What would happen if she fought with the Herrscher in the city? She didn't even dare to think about it...

(That’s right… Although we don’t know what the Third Herrscher is going to do, we must not confront her head-on here! Once the two sides start fighting, it will be a fight to the death! Without Hyperion’s participation, we will probably be defeated in an instant… No matter what, we must do our best to avoid a fight. Let the team members evacuate before she finds out!)

(But...how can I give them instructions in this situation?!)

Jizi was a little flustered and began to think about how to act. However, I don't know whether it should be called luck or misfortune. The next moment, with the faint voice of a girl not far away, Jizi's entanglement in the problem ended instantly...

"Ladies... do you really think you are hiding perfectly☆?"

In Ji Zi's instantly shocked eyes, the purple-haired girl in the alley had already stopped, her strange purple pupils with a cold gaze, slightly sweeping across the wall where the Valkyries were hiding...

"Since you're already here, why not come out and talk. I just happened to have something I wanted to confirm with you guys..."

228 Abnormal Ability

In the main building of the me company, following the explosion in the central area, the entire building suddenly became a mess...

“This…what the hell is going on?!”

"Terrorist attack? But why..."

"Call the police! Call the police quickly!"

......

·————————————·

"Terrorists? Ha... How is that possible? The only people who can do something so extraordinary are probably from that organization..."

On the upper floor of the building, in the office area for senior executives, Thunder Horse spoke softly, standing quietly in front of the window. He looked at the building not far away with thick smoke rising, his expression calm...

He was surprised for a moment when the explosion occurred, but then he immediately regained his composure. The same was true for Einstein and Tesla, who also realized that this was not an accident, but a purposeful attack...

As high-ranking members of the Anti-Entropy Organization, these executors were used to big events. If an explosion of this magnitude had not occurred within the ME Company, they would probably have regarded it as just a firework.

"Although we still don't know who did it, but... Mr. Raiden Ryoma, I remember that the place where the explosion occurred should be the location of the central detection device and communication transfer station, right?"

Einstein frowned slightly, a hint of worry coming to her face as she remembered the purpose of the device.

"Since they chose to destroy the detection equipment and communication system, that means they intend to destroy our ability to contact the outside world. In other words, their real target should be something important outside of ME that is related to ME..."

Einstein said calmly, took out his communicator, and tried to open the communication channel of the ME Society. As expected, the picture on the light screen kept fluctuating, and the signal was extremely weak, and it was no longer possible to contact other members of the ME Society normally.

Raiden Ryoma saw this, sighed softly, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Let's put this aside for now... The detection center is the core area of ​​the ME company, and no one outside of the company has permission to enter. Moreover, since the spy incident, the staff there has also been purged, and there is basically no possibility of committing a crime. In other words, the person who did it this time is still a core member of our company..."

Tesla, on the other hand, did not listen carefully to the Thunder Dragon

Ma's analysis. She sat calmly on a chair beside him, took a deep breath, with unconcealed worry in her eyes...

"Shiris, isn't she outside right now? Moreover, she was ambushed by the Destiny Force on her way back. I think this sudden incident might be an attack by the Destiny Organization against her."

Tesla frowned, and the next moment, she seemed to suddenly think of something, her pupils shrank slightly, and her expression gradually became complicated...

Not only her, Einstein also reacted quickly and sighed slightly.

"Hey, Ain..."

"I understand, you are right, Dr. Tesla. Miss Shilis has just left the ME company, and the Destiny Organization has already grasped her whereabouts... They are the only ones who know this news at the same time as us..."

After coming to this conclusion, Einstein's expression was a little helpless. She looked at Tesla and Raiden Ryoma, who also had complicated expressions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I've been tricked. It seems that not only Shiris, but all of us are a little too naive..."

Tesla's expression darkened. She raised her hand, opened her terminal, and activated the map function. However, except for a few blue dots detected in the nearby area, the terrain was blurry in other places, not to mention the positioning display of other terminals.

“These bastards…!”

Changkong City, Outer Ring Street District......

"Huh... Those executors are not easy to deal with. They may have already realized our purpose. Even if we destroy the detection and communication systems of the ME company in advance, it can only delay time temporarily. So, we need to hurry up as much as possible..."

Not long ago, Lin followed Sora, running through the crowd at the fastest speed, ignoring the curses and shouts of passers-by, and ran forward. As they entered a sparsely populated alley, Sora calmed his breath and explained to Lin softly.

"I hacked into the control system of Miss Shilis's bracelet and tampered with it. Now, the Honkai shielding function of the bracelet has been invalidated. It just so happens that the Valkyries of the Far East Branch seem to have been dispatched for some reason. We can use the power of those colleagues a little bit..."

Sora said as she compared the distance to the target point. Suddenly, she slowed down her pace, looked at the three blue dots representing friendly forces with interest, and slowly approached the red target point.

"Things are getting a little interesting..."

"Um...Lord Heather, I have a question."

"Go ahead, but you can't speak casually after a while."

"Um...thank you."

After getting permission, Lin organized her words a little and spoke carefully.

"Ms. Shiris... her own strength should be at the level of a Herrscher, right? Can we really defeat her with just the two of us and the Valkyrie of the Far East Branch... Besides, your body doesn't seem to be very suitable for fighting..."

"Don't worry~ I've already prepared for all this. I don't intend to face the Herrscher directly with this weak body. The reason why I let Miss Shilis encounter those Valkyries is just to let her get into combat mode."

Sora continued, playing with his terminal, his expression calm.

"After entering combat mode, the excitement of her nerve centers will slightly reduce her judgment ability. In that situation, when she suddenly sees you and me as her 'teammates', she will definitely not be too suspicious."

"Eh? Are you planning to attack her by surprise? But even if you do that... I'm afraid it won't work. The last time, the four of us couldn't defeat her..."

"Who said I'm going to fight her directly? It's just that the activation of that thing requires a close enough distance... Never mind, don't worry about it. You'll know when the time comes!"

At this moment, Lan Feng didn't know what happened in the ME Club. After an unexpected discovery, she looked around calmly with a faint smile on her lips.

(The Valkyrie of Destiny... I didn't expect that you would come back to me so soon after I just went out for a walk... You are really haunting me!)

Lan Feng fixed her eyes on the wall in front of her, and her gaze turned cold. At this moment, as she encountered the Valkyrie of Destiny again, she remembered the battle on the sea a few days ago. It was at that time that she lost the friend she had just gained...

(If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have done that... Anyway! It's all your fault!)

Thinking of this, a nameless fire slowly rose from her heart...

(This lame

Lurking skills... Even if my perception ability has deteriorated recently, I can still find them easily. Sending such people to deal with me is a bit too contemptuous, right? Why not just... No, it's too early to vent. Before that, I should first find out about Hill's situation! )

After a brief thought, Lan Feng's restless mood calmed down a little. She shook her head and exhaled slightly. As her thoughts changed, she spoke again in a calm tone.

"Since you're already here, why not come out and talk. I just happened to have something I wanted to confirm with you guys..."

However, before she finished her words, two dark shadows flashed out from the side of the wall in front of them! However, they did not intend to respond to the girl's words, and raised their guns in the blink of an eye and locked onto the target!

Then, accompanied by the continuous roar of gunfire, the flying energy bombs were blocked by the crystal shield, splashing sparks in the strong light, but failed to hurt the girl at all.

"It seems that if I want you to listen to me, I'll have to put in a little more effort..."

Lan Feng sneered and raised her hand slightly. As she moved, the translucent crystal layer instantly shattered! The fragments turned into dense thin blades that flew out and directly enveloped the two Valkyries in front!

“——Ugh!”

In a blink of an eye, the two Valkyries who were covered by the scattered attack were scratched all over by the flying crystal fragments! They lost their ability to fight on the spot.

228 Abnormal Ability >>

This time, Lan Feng showed no mercy, and quickly knocked down the two Valkyries with efficient and cruel means, while ensuring the survival of the enemy. Their injuries looked terrible, but in fact they were only minor injuries. But this time, Lan Feng spared their lives not out of pity, but just to obtain the information she wanted to know.

The cold and rational purple eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over the two Valkyries lying on the ground. Lan Feng was about to say something, but suddenly his expression changed, and he raised his right hand...

——Swish!!

The ice-blue stream of light tore through the air, pulling in a violent gale, crushing the purple-haired girl's back! The next moment, the seemingly unstoppable stream of light suddenly stopped, stagnating at the girl's side, unable to move forward any further. The fierce mist also suddenly disappeared, leaving only a gentle breeze that slightly swayed her purple hair. Then, everything returned to tranquility again.

"You should be their captain, right? It's amazing... Whether it's concealment ability or attack power, you are much stronger than the other two..."

The blue crystal sword blade was fixed in mid-air, and the tip was tightly grasped by a white hand. The sharp edge of the sword could not hurt the hand at all. Lan Feng turned sideways to face the attacker, concentrated the Honkai energy in her hand, and held the tip of the sword with her bare hands. She spoke softly and slowly turned her head. However, when she saw the red-haired woman with a solemn face, the indifference on her face instantly turned into dullness...

"It's you?!"

Lan Feng instantly recognized the attacker and screamed. She had never expected that the two sides, who had just experienced a fierce battle a few days ago, would meet again on the battlefield so soon!

There was no doubt that the person in front of him was one of the important plot characters and the main force of the Far East Branch, Wuliangta Jizi. A few days ago, after the battle in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, Lan Feng's impression of her deepened again.

Shocked, Lan Feng unconsciously increased the strength in his hands, and the crystalline sword blade that emitted bursts of cold air was directly crushed!

The blade broke, and Jizi drew back the sword and jumped away, creating some distance between her and the purple-haired girl. At this moment, her heart was filled with bitterness. After the ambush was discovered, she didn't have time to say anything, and the Valkyrie she was traveling with directly launched the attack according to the plan. And the result of the attack... can only be said to be expected.

Her companions had already attacked, and Jizi could not abandon her team members. The moment the two Valkyries opened fire, she attacked the purple-haired girl from behind without hesitation. But just like before, the sword she swung with all her strength was easily blocked by the girl's bare palm, and then she crushed it effortlessly...

The absolute gap in strength has been clearly displayed in front of Ji Zi.

(This is truly the worst possible scenario... With the lowest-level weapons, I'm fighting the Third Herrscher head-on in the city. Negotiation... is probably useless to me, after all, I beat her so badly in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk... Judging from her reaction now, I'm afraid she has already regarded me as a thorn in her side...)

Jizi looked at the purple-haired girl's surprised and complicated expression, and thought of the previous conflict, and her heart suddenly sank. When she realized the current situation, Jizi's mouth had a slightly bitter smile.

(I’m sorry... Theresa, I messed up such a simple investigation...)

Jizi turned her eyes slightly and looked at the two Valkyries lying in a pool of blood. Although they were still conscious, their eyes had become blank. The "death warriors" that they had previously regarded as prey had killed them instantly with the force of thunder. This strong sense of disparity, coupled with the unconscious aura of the purple-haired girl,

The terrifying aura made the two new Valkyries stunned, and they were obviously unable to join the battle again.

Turning her gaze back to the purple-haired girl who seemed to be deep in thought, Jizi tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword...

(However, even if the opponent is a Herrscher, giving up directly like this doesn’t suit me...)
