K424 of the Collapse World

Unconsciously, she slowly walked towards the gray-haired girl wearing glasses, came straight in front of her, and just stared at her...

Suddenly, Ji Zi came back to her senses. She was sure that she and this gray-haired girl must have met for the first time, and this strange sense of familiarity was probably just an illusion.

Jizi sighed with some self-blame, wondering why she stared at a little girl like that. These new girls were just kids with potential, not real Valkyries. It was not good to stare at them like that and scare the little girl...

Thinking of this, Ji Zi reached out her hand to the girl in front of her with a mature smile on her lips.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Himeko Murata, and I will be your future combat training officer."

Hearing this, the gray-haired girl in front of him was slightly stunned, then came to her senses and held Ji Zi's outstretched hand with a complicated expression.

"Hello, Miss Wuliangta. My name is... Fu Hua, and I'm the new Valkyrie enrolled this year."

Fu Hua introduced herself calmly. Facing the instructor of the Valkyrie Academy, she did not show any nervousness or timidity like an ordinary little girl. In Ji Zi's slightly admiring eyes, she hesitated for a moment, but finally asked a question.

"Excuse me...Have we met somewhere before?"

256 Catalyst

"I've seen you somewhere before..."

Jizi was quite familiar with this sentence. When performing some confidential missions, many men who approached her would start their conversations with this sentence.

However, today, when this sentence came out of the mouth of the little girl in front of her, it was obviously completely different from those lechers. Ji Zi was surprised to realize that since the other party also felt that they had seen each other before, then the matter was somewhat intriguing.

If you are the only one who feels that the other person seems familiar, then it can be explained as an illusion, but if both parties feel that they have seen each other somewhere before, then something must have happened between them.

Ji Zi just looked at the gray-haired girl in front of her, struggling for a long time, but finally shook her head helplessly.

"Well... although I feel the same way and I seem to have seen you somewhere, I'm really sorry, I really don't remember having any Shenzhou friends."

"I see... maybe I made a mistake. Sorry for taking up your time, Instructor Himeko."

Fu Hua seemed to have discovered something, and waved her hand hastily, without dwelling on this issue. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Ji Zi, she turned around and left, rushing towards the gathering place.

Looking at Fu Hua's hurriedly leaving back, Ji Zi shrugged slightly.

"Strange child... Never mind. There has been a lot of strange things happening lately. As for this familiar feeling... It should be because I saved him during a certain Honkai disaster.

Orphans..."

Unable to find any other explanation, Jizi speculated and walked towards the school square. As she walked, she gently clasped her hands, and her expression became a little strange.

"Why do I feel like I've become much stronger since the last battle with the Herrscher? I feel like I can beat ten Ganesas... But this is probably just an illusion. Or is it a last-ditch effort before death?"

With a wry smile and a sigh, she stopped thinking about these questions that were destined to have no answers and focused her attention on the opening ceremony that would take place in a while.

"Oh, I wonder if Theresa has prepared her speech well this year..."

·————————————·

Fu Hua hid her figure in the crowd and stopped only when she knew she could no longer feel the woman's gaze.

She covered her chest, trying hard to calm her throbbing heart. However, this irrepressible excitement still made her expression a little excited.

"There's no mistake... Since we all know each other, she must be one of our former companions!"

Fu Hua clenched her fists tightly, hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, trying to let her consciousness sink deep into her thoughts, wanting to confirm her thoughts through those fragmented memories.

Although her aura was extremely similar to that of Shilis, there were still some differences. Therefore, we could only assume that the two were closely related.

In my memory, someone who has a close relationship with Ji Lin, has long flaming red hair, and blazing golden pupils...

"......Lian Shan clan?"

Suddenly, as such a name suddenly appeared in her mind, Fu Hua was slightly stunned and hesitated for a moment, then confirmed her guess.

Although there was a subtle sense of disharmony, since her current appearance was consistent with her impression, there must be no problem. There was no doubt that this woman named Muliangta Himeko must have some connection with her past self.

"Is this fate? I get to see you again... But, does reincarnation really exist? Or is it that what is passed down is just the stigmata with fragments of their memories? Phew~ But it doesn't matter."

She exhaled lightly, and her expression became calm again.

"No matter how I do it, it's great to see you again..."

Russia, Sea of ​​Okhotsk...

x-10 laboratory, weapons testing site...

"Tester certification... Bronya Zajcek"

"Certification completed, start deploying test targets"

"Target distance: 100m"

"Armor Strength: A-"

"Do you want to start the test?"

"Well, let's start the test."

The girl with her grey hair tied into Roman curls spoke softly, standing in the huge empty metal testing room, casting her eyes towards the alloy plate placed by the robotic arm in the distance, and narrowing her eyes slightly.

(Reinstall Little Rabbit 19c, start...)

The girl silently chanted in her heart, and the next moment, with a wave of light and shadow, a deformed white mecha appeared in the light and shadow, floating behind her, floating slightly...

This mecha only has the upper body, and the lower body has only a tail-like mechanical spine. Its right arm is a ferocious mechanical arm with five fingers, and the entire left arm is a giant cannon. Under the control of the girl, the giant cannon on the left arm of the mecha was slightly raised and the muzzle was aimed at the metal plate in the distance. The next moment, a blazing light slowly condensed at the muzzle...

"Reload Bunny...fire!"

--boom!

The beam shot out with a roar, and the powerful compressed energy collided with the metal plate in an instant! In the explosion of sparks and photon particles, the mechanical arm that fixed the metal plate was slightly twisted by the impact...

The light faded, and the center of the metal plate was completely sunken. The slightly red surface proved the terrible heat energy of the energy cannon. But seeing this result, the gray-haired girl couldn't help but sigh slightly.

(Reload Bunny Analysis Mode...Starting.)

"The overall destruction rate is 17%, and the explosion heat is 2147°C, which is lower than the alloy's melting point of 2324°C... As expected, for Bronya at the moment, destroying a B-level strength test plate is the limit?"

The girl shook her head gently and turned away. Under her control, the Heavy-Armored Bunny entered the quantized state again, and then turned into a halo and disappeared into the air.

She did not hide the existence of the Heavy Armor Bunny from Cocolia. If she wanted more freedom, she had to show her abilities to Cocolia.

So, Bronya showed her strength in public and told her clearly that this was a gift from Seele before she left. Although Cocolia was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the mecha, she still accepted it.

He agreed to Bronya's request and let her join the regular combat unit of Anti-Entropy like Xing...

This means that Bronya now has the authority to enter the Ark.

After all, the combat capability she demonstrated has completely surpassed ordinary tactical weapons. Even though Cocolia didn't want to break her promise and let Bronya go to the battlefield, in order to respect the decision made by the girl herself, she finally chose to compromise...

Bronya directly rejected the X-10 experiment proposed by some researchers to restart. She did not accept any form of human body modification, nor did she allow anyone to fiddle with the gift given to her by Seele. She explored the ability of the "Autonomous Quantum Mecha 19c" in her own way, and gradually became more and more powerful...

"The one-year agreement is coming soon. Xier...are you in the Far East now? According to what Sister Xilisi said, your body has been healed now, right?"

Stretching slightly, the gray-haired girl smiled. Reaching out to pick up the Hom doll placed at the door, Bronya thought of the girl she missed all the time, and her eyes seemed to glow...

"See you again soon, Xier..."

Bronya murmured, fiddling with her purple earrings. The next moment, a terminal screen appeared in front of her. On the screen, a few lines of characters were displayed.

Approved Tasks

Mission location: Far East, Changkong City

Start date: March 2014, 3

Action Plan:

1. Secretly go to the Far East Changkong City

2. Assist the liaison to search and conquer the gem host

3. Capture the host, detonate/recover the conquest gem

"These things... don't really matter. Anyway, the purpose of my participating in the operation is just to have a suitable reason to go to Changkong City..."

Looking at the characters in front of her, Bronya thought for a moment, then smiled and opened the editing mode of the notebook, adding another string of text below...

4. Find Xi'er and never be separated from her again...

·————————————·

At the same time, Cocolia was sitting in the data room of the X-10 laboratory, looking at the action plan she had recently arranged. When she saw the report about me, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

256 Catalyst>>

"Has that Raiden Ryoma really fallen? According to the original plan, he should have been sent directly to prison for economic fraud... But now, he has simply abdicated? Well, we must be on guard..."

After carrying out the plan to frame Raiden Ryoma, Cocolia gained control of the ME company as she had planned. However, she always felt that there was something wrong with this seemingly perfect plan...

"That's a problem... Even though he has lost the leadership of ME Club, if we let him stay in ME Club, that man will definitely take action! As expected, it's better to solve the trouble once and for all!"

As she muttered to herself, a hint of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the blonde woman. She slowed down a little and began to formulate the next battle plan...

"There's no need to rush to deal with Thunder Ryuma. As for now... it's time to start with his daughter. The value of the Conquest Gem cannot be just to serve as a stabilizer..."

Looking at the image of the black-haired girl on the screen, Cocolia showed a grim smile. In her eyes, the existence of the black-haired girl in the picture was just a carrier of a gem.

"Use the Conquest Gem to neutralize the natural stigma? Haha... You really thought of it, Thunder Dragon Horse... Humph, although it is just a fragment of Xilin's core, as long as the method of use is appropriate, its value is immeasurable!"

She casually closed the information of Mei Raiden, and her eyes gradually became fanatical.

"For example... as the 'key' to start the next Honkai sequence!"

After deciding on the next battle plan, Cocolia raised her hand to close all the light screens in front of her, then stood up, turned and walked towards the exit of the data room.

Suddenly, she remembered the report from her investigators and her brows furrowed slightly again.

"However, I didn't expect Kiana Kaslana to get involved with Raiden Mei... It's really troublesome. She will definitely interfere in the operation to seize the Conquest Gems. According to the intelligence we got before, Kiana has a powerful combat ability that is not inferior to Shirley! If this continues, the operation will inevitably fail..."

In order to solve this problem, Cocolia frowned and thought carefully. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and a playful expression appeared on her face.

"Although I don't really want others to interfere with this experiment, there is no other way now. Kiana... should be left to that guy! In addition... Bronya

The child also took the initiative to apply to join this operation. Well, her strength is fully sufficient to join such a battle, which is an extra insurance..."

Thinking of this, she raised her hand and picked up her terminal, flipped two pages under the address book, and found the avatar of a girl with long red hair.

"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we last met, Fenrir... Right now, you're the only one who can fight Kiana Kaslana head-on, and you can rely on me... Anyway, aren't you looking for Kiana yourself?"

Before sending the communication, Cocolia fell into a brief contemplation.

"Come to think of it, I wonder how Shiris is doing now... I think your attempt to stop the x-10 experiment was successful. Humph, you treated my child like a tool and ordered him around. One day, I'll make you pay for it..."

On January 2014, 1, in the mountainous area of ​​western Russia...

On a narrow and rugged mountain road, a large truck was moving slowly. At this moment, it was driving on the edge of the road with no shelter, and there was a deep abyss on one side of the tire. But even so, the truck was still moving forward steadily and unwaveringly.

The driver was a man of some age, with years leaving traces of vicissitudes on his face. The old man looked at the road ahead with empty eyes, seemingly nonchalant, his rough but powerful hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, and he drove calmly on this dangerous road where even a small car would be walking on thin ice.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man seemed to have thought of something, and a slight change appeared on his indifferent expression. The next moment, the truck slowly stopped at a fork in the road, and the roar of the engine suddenly disappeared. The old man paused for a moment, then slightly leaned aside from the seat, raised his hand and patted the side of the seat back.

"Girl, we've arrived."

The old voice broke the dead silence of the carriage. The next moment, a faint yawn came from the cargo pile at the back, followed by the sound of items being rummaged through, and a sleepy silver-haired girl poked her head out from the messy shelves.

"Have we reached the rest stop yet? Um... please wait a moment..."

As she spoke, the girl yawned, as if she wanted to get back in again, but the next moment, the old man's voice rang out again, stopping her movements.

"This isn't a rest stop. You've already reached your place."

Hearing this, the girl's body paused slightly, her slightly confused look gradually became clear, and her gaze became focused again.

"Eh...I see, we're here so soon?"

"Fast? Three days, a thousand kilometers of mountain roads. Compared to my previous trip, this is not fast at all! Little girl."

The old man said impatiently, took a deep breath, and pointed to the left side of the fork in the road ahead.

"Keep going that way and you'll be out of the border of this country. I still have stuff to deliver, so I can't just send you to Mongolia. So, get off here."

?、

Hearing this, the girl was stunned for a moment, smiled at the old man, then put on her worn coat over her bandaged body, tidied up her simple clothes, and crawled out from the pile of carpets on the shelf.

"Thank you for your care along the way, old man. By the way, do you really not need the weapons I brought? They are energy-driven products. They should be very valuable on the black market~"

"Alright, alright, let's go! Who wants your fancy stuff? I don't want to get myself into trouble..."

The old man said with a stinky face, glanced at the girl's right hand that was not covered with bandages, looked at the small hand covered with dark brown scars, and quickly looked away.

Although he had seen the scarred hand many times in the past few days, the old man felt that he could not turn a blind eye to it anyway...

"Okay...but uncle, you don't want anything. I've been riding for so long for nothing. I feel a little uneasy..."
