K424 of the Collapse World

Although she had guessed it long ago, when she faced the truth of the matter, Shirley still found it a little overwhelmed.

I am not Lan Feng, but K424 who has obtained the memories of a time traveler, or in other words... Xilin.

However, there is nothing to worry about now. Whether it is for that person's last request or to follow her own heart, she has made her choice.

Become Silith Kaslana...

The memory of the second Herrscher was completely sealed at the edge of her sea of ​​consciousness, leaving only the most basic concepts. At the same time, the hatred engraved in the depths of her soul also dissipated along with the abandoned memories.

She decided that even if the world ended, she would not try to retrieve this memory. Although it was her true self, it was too heavy for her...

Lan Feng's disappearance was probably not that simple. Based on the "that existence" he mentioned before he left, it was not difficult for Shilis to guess that he must have disappeared because of her...

(You kept saying before that you hated other people’s dedication, so what did you do? Haha… Shouldn’t I say it’s really nice now? But you are right, the relationship with them is not something that can be easily abandoned…)

Shirley thought silently, with a hint of helplessness on her face. She took a deep breath, stood up, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and returned to her previous casual movements.

The curtsey was just a casual gesture on her part. Shiris had no intention of using that pretentious manner to talk to Otto. Just like what Lan Feng had done before, a simple conversation would be fine...

On the other side, Otto quickly came to his senses and looked at the girl in front of him.

"Silis Kaslana?"

Although he had always called her by this name before, it was the first time that Otto heard the girl call herself that. In response, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in the man's eyes! He nodded calmly and just stared at the girl in front of him.

"So, you are indeed a descendant of the Kaslana family? However, your name doesn't seem to be on the Kaslana family tree... Also, I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that there are some subtle changes in Miss Shilis... Can you tell me what happened to you just now?"

Otto held his chin up, and his usual indifferent smile appeared on his face. In response, Shirley shook her head and smiled back.

"You just said goodbye to a good friend... right? It must be your illusion. I just had a very uncomfortable dream after I fainted... Mr. Otto, I just got out of the erosion of Honkai. After experiencing such a big thing, it's understandable that there will be some changes in my psychology. But Mr. Otto, you... seem to have something on your mind?"

Shirley said. After she finished speaking, she leaned down and sat on the edge of the bottom of the container, hanging her legs down, dangling in the air and swaying gently.

"I see... I was probably overthinking it, Ms. Shilis. I apologize."

The deep and fake smile was easy to see through, but the two of them tacitly did not expose each other. The next moment, these things were revealed by them together. Whether it was Otto or Shirley, they both understood that if they kept holding on to this issue, their conversation would not be able to continue.

The next moment, Otto's expression changed slightly, and a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

(Silis Kaslana... As expected, you... are not her. What a pity...)

The next moment, the girl's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"By the way, Mr. Otto, can you tell me what you did to me just now? The Honkai energy in my body seems to have inexplicably weakened a lot, what's going on?"

With a light breath, Shilis frowned and asked. Although she was wearing a collar, the Honkai energy in her body was her only remaining trump card. If even this power was taken away, then she would probably be locked up here for the rest of her life...

"Well, I'm so sorry, Miss Shilis. The Honkai energy in your body just went out of control. The energy intensity couldn't even completely suppress the thirty artificial stigmata, and it caused the erosion of the stigmata to become more serious... I had no choice but to draw out the Honkai energy in your body to reduce the burden on the artificial stigmata. Only in this way can you get rid of the erosion of Honkai and regain consciousness like you are now."

"Oh, my dear Mr. Otto, if you put it this way, it seems

I still have to thank you very much, right? Almost three quarters of the Honkai energy in my body is gone, and I am one step closer to becoming a weak and powerless experimental tool. Is this also your plan? Mr. Otto. "

Shiris snorted softly, feeling the state of Honkai energy in her body. Indeed, as Otto said, after the energy reserves decreased, the Honkai energy as a whole tended to be stable, and the abnormal burning sensation behind her disappeared. However, it seemed that the amount of artificial stigmata as a "container" was too small, and the Honkai energy she lost could not be restored, and it remained in this state of less than half of the original.

Ignoring the dissatisfaction in the girl's words, Otto raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

"Oh? That's only half of your total? It's incredible... Hehe, Miss Shilis, you know, this half of your total is enough to fill up eleven temporary containers, which is equivalent to the total amount of two large Houkai furnaces. It's really strange. You obviously don't have a Herrscher Core, but how do you store so much Houkai energy in your body?"

Hearing this, Silis frowned thoughtfully. But soon, she shook her head gently to dispel the random thoughts in her mind.

"I always feel that what you said sounds strange... Never mind, I don't know about this kind of thing. Don't Pseudo-Hershers also have cores? Some of them can also possess Herrscher-level Honkai energy. Isn't this a very simple example? Or, is Mr. Otto just looking for a reason to dissect me?"

Shirley asked in a low voice, stroking her collar, her body slightly tense. Although it was unrealistic to resist in this situation, since she had not really fallen out with Otto, she had to make her attitude clear, whether it was pretending to be tough or pretending to be pitiful, in short, she had to let Otto know her attitude about this.

If Otto really decided to take action, then there would be nothing that Shiris could do, but if he still wanted to maintain this friend-enemy relationship with her, then he would take her opinion into consideration and not easily do anything that would lower her favorability.

But everything should be done in moderation. No matter what, Shilis did not forget that she was just a prisoner now. Lan Feng had won Otto's goodwill, so she had to make good use of it...

In response, Otto waved his hand helplessly, signaling the girl to relax a little.

"You misunderstood, Ms. Shirley. It seems that you really don't know... Even the Pseudo-Hermaphrodites have something called a 'pseudo-core' as a container for storing Houkai energy. Because the 'pseudo-core' has no entity and is difficult to preserve, everyone tacitly assumes that the Pseudo-Hermaphrodites have no core. Do you understand this, Ms. Shirley?"

Hearing this, Shilis secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it should be something like Dantian mentioned in the story of Shenzhou... Yeah, I understand it. But don't the dead soldiers and ordinary Honkai beasts also have no core?"

Shirley asked, she vaguely remembered that only the Herrscher had the core...

Hearing her words, Otto smiled slightly, as if he understood something.

"Ha... It seems that you don't know much about Honkai, Ms. Shiris. Except for the lowest-level humanoid warriors, all Honkai beasts and high-level warriors have real physical cores. And you, whether it's a pseudo-core or a physical core, you really have nothing. It's like your entire body is a core that stores Honkai..."

Shilis frowned, and suddenly, she remembered the endless pure white space in her consciousness. She suddenly felt that it might not be just a simple consciousness platform. She had an indescribable feeling, as if there was something unknown hidden under that white space...

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, right? To be honest, I've said it before, I don't know what's wrong with my body! You're the manufacturer, but you don't even know the information about your own products? Could it be that Mr. Otto is not as smart as he looks?"

Glancing at Otto with disdain, Shilis turned her head away and stopped talking. Now, the reason why she dared to do such disrespectful behavior was that in the previous conversation, Lan Feng had already figured out some of Otto's personality traits and was sure that the bishop would not be angry because of this.

As long as Kallen was not involved, whether it was a simple joke, or a teasing and mocking remark, Otto would not be angry at all. To put it nicely, this was a casual leadership spirit. But according to Shiris's own opinion, it was probably because the bishop's personality as a human being had been flawed. The insults and contempt from others could no longer affect Otto's "dignity" at all...

(However, I wonder if this bishop still has such a thing as "dignity"?)

Shirley made malicious guesses, pretending to look around and looking at the unknown experimental equipment. Otto just smiled, raised his hand and summoned a light screen, and began to browse something.

242 Changing Attitudes>>

Seeing that Otto seemed to be intent on wasting time with her, Shirley felt a little embarrassed. She bit her lip lightly, took a deep breath, and cast her eyes on Otto in front of her again.

"Well, Mr. Otto, what are you going to do with me?

How about this? Let's get this straight now. I believe you took so much trouble to bring me here, it shouldn't just be to chat with me, right?"

According to her memory, Shirley knew clearly what the man in front of her wanted. However, she had to pretend that she knew nothing.

Hearing this, Otto pushed open the light screen, looked at the girl in front of him, and spoke slowly.

"In that case, I'll tell you, Miss Hillis. This is not really a secret. At first, I just wanted to learn the secret from you and figure out why a disabled experimental subject could gain consciousness. However, based on a certain ability you later demonstrated, my focus on you shifted a little."

Hearing this, Shilis' eyes moved, pretending that she suddenly thought of something, then raised her hand with a smile, and activated the Houkai energy in her body...

The next moment, a soft, pure white light suddenly appeared and flashed across her fingertips. Seeing this, Otto nodded and did not pursue the girl's behavior of privately driving the Honkai energy.

"Yes, that's it... According to the records of the ancient civilization, the power of creation mastered by the Sixth Ruler - Ruler of Death can truly revive the dead. So, I want to use your power to revive one person."

"Eh......"

Shirley sighed softly, and there was a hint of amusement in her eyes as she looked at Otto.

"Oh? What kind of person is that? Mr. Otto must have put so much effort into this. He must be someone very important to you, right?"

"Yes...very important."

Otto explained simply. Shilis didn't expect that this man would admit it to her like this. Perhaps Otto trusted her more than she thought?

After a brief silence, the girl sighed softly.

"But, I've also said this before, right? My 'creation' ability isn't perfect... It's not enough to revive the dead, and it can basically only be used to heal injuries, and sometimes it doesn't work properly..."

"That's not a problem, Miss Hillis. Since I can invite you to the Destiny Headquarters, I will also find a way to solve this problem. I believe Miss Hillis will not refuse this small request, right?"

"...What do you think?"

She rolled her eyes at Otto's words. Although Shirley felt uncomfortable being completely controlled by others, she could do nothing about it. If Otto wanted to use her to revive Kallen, a series of human experiments would be inevitable. Although Otto would not let herself die easily, Shirley did not want others to mess with her body...

Otto glanced at the light screen next to him and sighed softly towards the girl.

"It seems like the time is almost up... Unfortunately, Ms. Hillis, I have to supervise an experiment next, so our conversation must end."

"Oh? Mr. Otto is leaving now? You're just leaving me here... Is this considered a move to a more upscale cell for me?"

After hearing the girl's words, Otto was silent for a moment, and suddenly a slightly sly smile appeared on his face.

"Indeed, it's not appropriate to leave you here... In that case, Ms. Hillis, are you willing to go with me to observe this experiment?"

"Let's go...to observe the experiment?"

Hearing this, Shilis was shocked. Did Otto mean... to let her go with him?!

"Mr. Otto, are you kidding?"

"I'm not one to joke around. This is my own decision. Do you have any opinion on this, Ms. Hillis?"

"No, haha... I certainly don't dare to have any opinions."

She answered without hesitation, smiled and shook her head, her toes trembled slightly, and her body jumped lightly, passing over the solution mixed with glass fragments on the ground, and stood on the ground next to Otto.

Although I don't know what Otto's purpose is, since he is willing to give me more freedom, I should accept his "good intentions"! In Shilis's opinion, the higher the degree of freedom in the destiny, the higher the possibility of getting opportunities. It is impossible to ask her to stay in the destiny headquarters honestly.

"Since this is the order of the Bishop, there is nothing we can do."

She said with a smile, and the next moment, as a blue arc of electricity appeared around the girl's body, the arc quickly swept across the wet white dress on her body, and the moisture in the fabric quickly disappeared, making the white dress dry again soon.

"Please lead the way, Mr. Otto."

"Oh... the ability of the Third Herrscher? Looks like there's no need to take you to change clothes. Well, then follow me, Miss Shiris."

After Otto finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the exit of the laboratory. He was not surprised by the power displayed by the girl. After all, it was all recorded.

After a brief hesitation, Shilis followed him. She also wanted to see what the bishop was up to...

What the girl didn't see was that when Otto turned around

Afterwards, the gentleness and indifference in his eyes slowly turned into coldness.

(Although you imitate her very well, you are obviously not her. Judging from your not-so-false sadness, she must have left. What a pity... If that's the case, then who are you? 'Silis'?)

In the wide metal passage, the girl with long silver hair followed Otto and walked towards the other side of the Helheim Laboratory. The girl walked slowly with her head down, but her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, observing the layout of this passage...

Ottoben asked her to walk with him, but the girl refused on the grounds that it was inappropriate.

Slightly clenching her palms, Shirley's eyes began to become solemn.

Since Otto lifted the restrictions on himself when he demonstrated his creation ability last time, he has not activated his collar again, and tacitly allowed himself to use his ability without causing any harm. In other words, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he should not impose restrictions on himself anymore...

(Should I thank you for your trust in me, dear Mr. Lutuo...)

Shirley thought helplessly, and once again focused her attention on the surrounding environment, memorizing the terrain of the road she passed.

Along the way, the two also met many researchers in white coats. When they saw Otto, they bowed to him. After Otto left, they immediately returned to their work. The silver-haired girl following behind Otto seemed to be selectively ignored and did not receive any attention. Although she was barefoot and wearing a thin long skirt that did not match the laboratory, no one cast a curious look at her...

At this, Shirley suddenly felt a little chilly. If the quality of the employees of ME Company was the top level in her impression, then the researchers of the Destiny Headquarters could only be described as horrible.

Mechanized work, mechanized etiquette, just like a real robot...

While Shirley was still thinking, Otto had already stopped. The girl, who was unable to react in time, almost bumped into the man's back. She hurriedly steadied her steps and looked at the electronic door in front of her calmly.

"Okay, Miss Hillis, we're here."

Otto said lightly, as the metal door in front of him slowly opened, revealing the laboratory space behind it to the girl.

Behind the door, a female researcher with short orange hair bowed slightly and stepped aside.

"Master Otto, Dr. Maki will conduct the fusion experiment numbered 526 Serenity Gem on the third experimental station."

"Oh, I see."

Otto replied calmly, not paying attention to the female researcher standing next to him. But when Shiris heard the woman's voice, she felt a sense of familiarity.

She stopped and looked at the familiar female researcher, her pupils suddenly contracted! On the other side, the woman also noticed Shilis's gaze, and subconsciously looked back, wanting to see the bishop's companion...

“…It’s you?!”

Seeing the silver-haired girl, she was slightly stunned and opened her mouth in surprise. As the dusty memories gradually became clear, she suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when her soul was still untainted by sin, she rescued a clone girl from a laboratory...

On the other side, Shilis also came back to her senses and showed a bitter smile on her face.

"Well... it's me. It's been four years since we last met. Noni..."

243 Betrayal

"Oh? You two actually know each other..."

Otto exclaimed slightly, looked at the silver-haired girl and the researcher opposite him, frowned and thought for a while, and a hint of realization appeared in his eyes.

Thinking of this, he took a step back and did not disturb them, just watching the interaction between the two girls in front of him.

Noni's lips trembled, and her slightly surprised face still had a numb expression. Four years later, although the silver-haired girl had grown taller, her appearance had not changed much from what Noni remembered, except that she had become a little more mature.

"Yes, I remember you too. You... I remember you were the experimental model, the K series..."

"Well, k424, this is my number, but I would rather you call me 'Shiris'. Miss Noni, I never thought that we would meet again... I have always wanted to thank you for saving me four years ago, but then an accident happened. Thank God, you seem to be safe."
