K424 of the Collapse World

"Now, do you understand where you stand, K424? If it weren't for your strange abilities and memories, you would probably be in the incinerator right now based on your behavior."

Otto walked over and looked at the silver-haired girl lying on the ground, breathing slightly, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

"Speaking of which... you haven't lost consciousness yet. With this willpower, your identity as Kaslana should be confirmed. However, a prisoner should behave like a prisoner. If you think that this room where you are imprisoned is just a metal shell, then you are wrong. As you can see, a Houkai suppressor alone can turn you into this state. Originally, as long as you move a little, the intelligent cutting guns installed in the wall will be activated, and cooperate with the suppressor to directly disable your limbs. However, I just forced them to stop working. Don't you want to thank me, k424?"

"..."

The girl didn't answer, she propped herself up with her elbows, trying to get up. For some reason, a strange feeling of humiliation filled her mind. She couldn't stand this feeling, she couldn't stand it at all, this man looking down at her like this...

"You...damn creeper!"

In response, Otto snorted, and his eyes turned more and more indifferent towards the silver-haired girl.

"Well, let's put this aside for now. Are you aware of your own physical condition? 'Third Herrscher'? Haha... I've never seen a Herrscher whose body was corroded by his own Honkai energy. Apart from this ridiculous Herrscher temper, I don't see how you look like a Herrscher now."

Otto squatted slightly in front of the girl, pinched her chin, and forced her to raise her head as he had done before. Looking at the girl's eyes full of resentment and humiliation, Otto seemed to lose interest and let go of his hand, letting the girl fall to the ground again without support.

"How boring... Your expression right now is exactly the same as that of the arrogant Second Herrscher.

You are exactly like her. That's right, you do have her genes... Oh, I suddenly remembered that Kiana's reaction is much more interesting than yours, even though she also has her Honkai energy suppressed and is suffering from such pain.

"What did you say......?!"

Suddenly, the girl's pupils shrank, and the strong malice in her eyes suddenly disappeared. She no longer forcibly used the Honkai energy to create power, but relied on her own bones and muscles to slowly support her body and stood up.

"Otto! What...what did you do to Kiana?!"

Looking at the silver-haired girl whose expression was still angry but seemed to have suddenly calmed down, Otto raised his eyebrows and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but soon, his expression returned to its previous state.

"Oh... yes, I almost forgot that you have an identity that is similar to Cecilia... As for what I did to Kiana, aren't you very clear about it? The pain you feel now is the same pain she once experienced."

"Pain...?"

The girl was slightly stunned, as if she had thought of something. She closed her eyes and retrieved the pain information that she had subconsciously blocked before. The next moment, accompanied by a torrent of pain information that seemed to be enough to drown her brain, the girl's expression became shocked again.

"What...! You actually tortured a child in this way?!"

The girl roared, and as her emotions got out of control again, she trembled and clenched her weak fists, swinging them forward with all her might, wanting to smash the man's smiling face flat, so that he would never smile again...

However, with her current body, such a thing was destined to be nothing more than wishful thinking. The moment she showed her intention to attack, a fierce sweeping kick came whistling and hit the girl hard before she could dodge!

The girl opened her eyes wide. She could clearly see the trajectory of the kick and judged that the kick would hit her abdomen in 0.2 seconds. Originally, she could use 0.05 seconds to adjust her balance, and then 0.1 seconds to intercept the opponent's foot from the attack trajectory, and finally directly break the ankle and calf of the Valkyrie!

However, this process could only be completed in her mind. At this moment, her body seemed to be filled with lead and heavy. She could only move her fingers slightly with all her strength, and then watched the Valkyrie's toes getting closer and closer to her...

Indeed, it was useless to think about anything now. Without the support of her physical fitness, she could only wait for the attack in despair. The next moment, the girl was kicked hard and flew out like a kite with a broken string, falling to the ground helplessly. Although she had no sense of pain, her body still curled up due to instinctive reaction and twitched slightly. She coughed lightly, and saliva mixed with blood slid down from the corner of her mouth and dripped onto the ground. Her cruel eyes had become confused, and she looked weak and helpless.

This pitiful look was almost heartbreaking, but it did not move the Valkyries at the headquarters at all.

Otto looked at the silver-haired girl lying on the ground, shook his head again, and sighed.

"To be honest, I'm very disappointed in you, K424. Do you know? In order to control the huge amount of Honkai energy that is running wild in your body and preserve your consciousness, we have implanted more than precious artificial stigmata on your back. Of course, if Honkai is your original intention, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. However, if you still don't know what's good for you, I don't mind implanting the liquid soul steel I took out before into your body again. I will come to you later, as for now, you should calm down for a while."

Hearing this, the girl's lips trembled. She was about to say something, but the next moment, as the Valkyrie quickly stabbed a syringe into her neck, her consciousness fell into darkness in an instant...

"Lock her up. Also, tell the person in charge here to repair the synthetic glass as soon as possible. This time, replace it with reinforced glass. I will come again tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord Otto."

Looking at the silver-haired girl who lost consciousness and was carried into the metal room by the Valkyrie, Otto's expression suddenly became intriguing.

"Double personality...? No, it doesn't look like multiple personality. Her mind seems to be affected by something. Forget it, k424... If you are really just this level, then it's a bummer. Anyway, we need to observe it for a while."

Otto muttered to himself, turned around, took one last look at the silver-haired girl who was placed on the bed, and left the isolation room directly.

As the metal wall slowly descended, the cell returned to silence. In the empty room, the only sound that could be heard was the girl's faint breathing...

Inside the No. 2 helipad of the Tianming headquarters, a girl with a purple ponytail sat in the hall, silently waiting for her guide.

233 In vain >>

As a Valkyrie who betrayed the organization but returned with merit, Lin doesn't think she can wander around the headquarters as she pleases as before.

When the Central District submitted the task, she just waited obediently in the terminal hall, not daring to move around at all.

"Sorry for the wait, Miss Lin."

Suddenly, she was startled by a serious voice. Lin turned her head hastily, and what she saw was not Sora who had left earlier, but a mature blonde woman.

"Ms. C...Lady Claudia?!"

She stood up in a panic and was about to salute, but Claudia waved her hand to stop her.

"Hazel... Sora has something urgent to do, so I will take you to your future workplace. Please relax, we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship now."

Claudia said calmly, without any special emotion in her tone, yet she seemed polite, as if Lin in front of her was a stranger she met for the first time.

"Ah... excuse me."

Lin said hurriedly, and just followed Claudia and boarded the carrier leaving the terminal.

Sitting next to Claudia, Lin hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath, and looked up at the blonde woman next to her.

"Um... Lady Claudia, can I ask you a question...?"

"If it's information about Sora Hazel, it's about a confidential experiment of the Destiny Organization. I couldn't tell you too much at first. But now... I should be able to tell you."

(As your former mentor, I will at least let you understand a little bit at the end... Anyway, the dead will not reveal secrets...)

A shadow flashed across Claudia's eyes, and then she gently closed her eyes.

"Yes, that's it..."

Lin looked a little embarrassed when her inner thoughts were spoken, but she still breathed a sigh of relief and cast a hopeful look at Claudia.

"So, the part I can know is...?"

She asked, trying to look as humble as possible. But Claudia didn't care about that. She thought for a moment and then spoke in her usual cold tone.

"In the Destiny Organization, for every Valkyrie unit with potential, the headquarters will send a monitor to join the team to investigate all aspects of the team members, including their psychological state, and then send all the information to the headquarters to determine the training value of the team."

"So Sora is the one...?"

"That's right. But having said that, in all the years since I entered the Skyward Sword, only four Valkyrie teams have received such treatment. And you are the fourth one."

Seeing that Lin was still somewhat curious, Claudia easily guessed what she wanted to ask, and without waiting for her to ask, she continued.

"The first three Valkyrie teams are the Snow Wolf Team, the Undying Blade Team, and the Twilight Team. By the way, Sora was once a member of the Twilight Team. She was originally an elite A-class Valkyrie, Zarya Hazel."

"Eh...? In other words, Sora is... actually very powerful? But, she is clearly..."

"Her body... Ahem, sorry, Sora's specific situation is truly top secret. Even if you are going to... participate in that project, you still don't have the authority to know."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your answer, Lady Claudia. But, are you really going to let me take on the previously shelved experiment?"

As the transport machine stopped at a familiar entrance of a research institute, Lin's expression changed and she seemed a little happy.

"That's right. Your order is to return to the Serenity Gem fusion experiment. Your final decision will be made based on the results of the experiment."

Claudia said lightly, her expression cold and indifferent. But Lin didn't notice it, she just nodded slightly excitedly and followed Claudia in.

"Not only is there no punishment, but I can also return to my previous mission? That's great, if that's the case, I'll be able to see Grandpa again soon..."

In the illusory pure white space, the silver-haired girl hugged her knees, curled up, and sat quietly in this space. As time passed, her empty blue pupils gradually lit up, and her mind began to slowly recover...

"—!"

Suddenly, her body trembled violently, and her expressionless face was suddenly replaced by a look of astonishment. The girl widened her eyes and looked around in doubt. After a long time, her tense body slowly relaxed.

"This place again... Dream? Did I fall asleep again? By the way...what happened before?"

She shook her head, and as she suddenly remembered what had just happened, the girl's brows furrowed, and as anger rose in her heart, her teeth clenched tightly together.

"Otto! That damn reptile... How dare he... me!"

She gritted her teeth and said, venting

She slammed her fist into the ground. However, the next moment, as she felt the long-lost pain, she was slightly stunned, and her expression suddenly became dull.

"No...why am I so angry?"

She asked herself this question, but to her surprise, the answer came to her mind instantly after she asked the question...

(The dignity of the Ruler must not be trampled upon by mere reptiles!)

As the thought suddenly emerged in her mind, the girl instantly hugged her head, her eyes full of surprise.

The thoughts just now appeared in her mind along with the question. They were all her own subconscious thoughts! And for a moment, she thought that kind of thought was natural...

“What the hell?! What’s the dignity of a Herrscher? I’m not even a Herrscher…!”

Lan Feng patted his forehead hard and took a deep breath. For some reason, in this space of consciousness, his pain sensation seemed to have returned to normal. His hand, which had just hit the ground, still felt a slight sting...

As her chaotic thoughts calmed down a little, she took a deep breath and began to observe the situation around her.

"This space should be the scene where I fought with that Honkai consciousness. Since I'm back here again... does that mean that something is wrong with my body again?"

Lan Feng muttered to himself, supported his body with one hand, and slowly stood up.

"Wait... Why did I attack Otto just now? Even though I was imprisoned, I confronted that cunning green man head-on? Am I crazy..."

Lan Feng continued to gently hammer her head, forcing her thoughts not to deviate in strange directions. She had already determined that there seemed to be something wrong with her mind, not just her body...

Although she remained rational, Lan Feng still had no idea of ​​the current situation. As time went by, she became more and more anxious.

Looking at the pure white space in front of her, she suddenly had the urge to tear it all apart...

"...That's right! There's no point in staying here. Instead of thinking about it like this, it's better to return to reality and think about how to escape!"

She muttered to herself, and her expression became a little crazy! Just when she wanted to tear this space back to her body according to the method she used last time, she was shocked to find that her spirit could not affect this space at all...

"How is that possible! It was so easy last time..."

"Stop messing around... I'm afraid you have completely lost control of your subconscious mind now."

Suddenly, a familiar ethereal voice came from behind. Lan Feng was slightly startled and turned around immediately. What came into his sight was the human figure wrapped in black mist...

"you......!"

"Nice to meet you again, k424..."

234Truth

Looking at the shadow that suddenly appeared in front of her, Lan Feng took two steps back in surprise. But the next moment, she seemed to realize something, and walked forward with a gloomy face, and deliberately took one more step forward.

"Well... we meet again, you stubborn tenant who refuses to pay rent! But you actually dare to show up in front of me. It seems that the lesson I taught you last time was not enough..."

Lan Feng had a disdainful expression on her face. She didn't realize that her behavior just now was just like a child who was showing off because of a grudge. She took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually calmed down. She just stared at the shadow not far away. Although she looked like she had regained her composure, her slightly fluctuating eyes revealed the turmoil in her heart.

Compared to the last time he faced the black shadow, the situation this time seemed a little different. It was for this reason that Lan Feng felt a little more uneasy.

The shadow not far away did not say anything about Lan Feng's words, and just stared at the silver-haired girl in front of him. Being stared at by the pair of invisible pupils, Lan Feng suddenly felt a little numb on her scalp, but she still resisted the ominous premonition in her heart and did not say anything, just staring at the shadow. Gradually, her expression began to become irritable, and her eyes became more and more unfriendly...

As Lan Feng's appearance fell into the black shadow's eyes, it seemed to confirm something, and chuckled and sighed.

"I see, you still don't realize that... It seems that this is the problem..."

The black shadow's voice, with a hint of sigh, instantly ignited the anger in the girl's heart!

“Shut up! This must be your doing, right? You pulled me into this damn space... Quickly cancel the space and get back! I don’t have time to mess around with you now, otherwise... I won’t let you go so easily this time!”

She roared in a low voice, and as her eyes gradually filled with cruelty, she lowered her body slightly, and a few tiny particles of light scattered from her hands. However, the black shadow did not move at all in response to her threat, and even the slight

There was a hint of mockery in the shrunken virtual eyes.

"Hehe... Haven't seen you for a while? Have you been affected to this extent? How pathetic..."

"You talk too much nonsense... Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"

Lan Feng's pupils suddenly dilated, and as he spoke he moved his feet, ran out directly, and punched the black shadow on the head, intending to completely destroy this overconfident Honkai Will!

However, Lan Feng's planned actions were interrupted at the very beginning. Looking at the shadow that appeared in front of her in an instant, Lan Feng's ferocious expression froze on her face. She didn't even realize when her throat was strangled...

“Ugh…Ugh!!”

The shadow grabbed Lan Feng's throat and lifted her up. The silver-haired girl's feet were suspended in the air. Under the pressure of her neck, she hurriedly raised her arms, grasped the shadow's palm, and tried to pry open its fingers. However, feeling the strong fingers like iron pliers, the girl realized desperately that her current strength was completely unable to compete with the opponent!

"Have you figured out the situation? k424"

"Uh uh...! Just an ant! You, kill me if you have the guts!"

Although she didn't know why it turned out like this, the girl had no intention of giving in. She kept struggling, and the anger burning in her eyes almost escaped! The black shadow silently looked at the silver-haired girl, and his misty eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is that so...then go die!"

As the shadow spoke, its palm suddenly began to tighten. Just now, the girl subconsciously forgot that she had lost not only the overwhelming power she once had, but also the ability to block pain. The pain of suffocation became more intense as the shadow's palm tightened slightly! Gradually, the anger on the girl's face disappeared, replaced by deep astonishment and helplessness, as well as the fear of death...

"The power you can exert in the consciousness space depends on the strength of the spiritual power of the consciousness body. Now, are you still not aware of your abnormality?"
