K424 of the Collapse World

Somewhere in Europe, at the base of the Destiny Branch...

In the British-style office, a middle-aged man who had just returned to the base from the headquarters sat in a chair, processing the documents that had been left behind.

He handled the review of reports from these subordinate departments in an orderly manner. As the head of a branch close to the headquarters, Dist's work ability was very good. In any case, he was much better than a certain school principal of the Far East branch.

——Bang bang!

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door. Without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond, the office door was suddenly opened and a woman who looked like an adjutant walked in hurriedly.

"Mr. Dist, the Detection Department has sent an emergency call!"

"Don't be impatient, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Putting down the documents in his hand, the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice, without blaming the adjutant for his behavior.

After taking a breath, the woman hurried to the middle-aged man's desk and handed him an electronic document.

"Huh... I'm sorry for being rude just now, Mr. Dist. The Nightcat aircraft you assigned to Captain Iger has lost contact in the Far East! According to the last flight record sent back, he should have been attacked by a Honkai beast in Changkong City!"

Hearing this news, the man

The person's pupils narrowed slightly for a moment, and then his facial expression returned to normal.

"Attacked by Honkai Beast...? Oh, I see. So, how is that guy doing now?"

"Mr. Iger's current whereabouts are unknown, but based on the intensity of the attack on the aircraft, it is likely that he has already..."

The woman said with a serious expression, her brows full of worry. The newly appointed captain of the branch was killed unexpectedly. Generally speaking, such a thing is absolutely impossible. However, for some reason, the minister insisted on not assigning escort personnel to the other party, which eventually led to this tragedy...

"Is he really dead?"

"It is still unclear, but it is highly likely that Mr. Iger has died. After all, he is just an ordinary person, and Night Cat is a small single-person aircraft without any weapons, so..."

"That's it, I understand."

However, facing such a big event, the middle-aged man still looked calm and composed. The woman opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Um... don't we need to report to the headquarters? After all, aren't we responsible for that gentleman's schedule..."

"No, Miss Adjutant, you don't need to worry about this matter, just leave it to me."

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently and picked up the document he had just placed on the table. After a brief hesitation, the woman entered the temporary electronic document into the office terminal.

"Then I'll leave the data analysis to you. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Dist."

After bowing, the woman turned around and left the office. As soon as the door closed, the middle-aged man started the office terminal and deleted the information he had just received with one click, without any intention of reporting the news to the headquarters.

"Hehe...are you going to cause trouble for Theresa?"

While muttering to himself with a sneer, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at a photo frame on the corner of the table, and his expression softened slightly.

In this simple frame was a yellowed group photo, in which a dozen young people in the uniforms of the Tianming Command stood together, their faces filled with bright smiles. The most conspicuous one was the silver-haired girl standing in the middle. Although she was wearing the same uniform, she was much shorter than the young people around her.

In the upper left corner of the photo, there is a string of words:

Graduates of the 07rd class of the Comprehensive Command Training Class 143

1988.11.24

The middle-aged man looked at an inconspicuous young man in the crowd, and then turned his gaze to the silver-haired girl again. A faint smile quietly emerged on his vicissitudes and mature face.

"After all these years, you haven't changed at all..."

The middle-aged man sighed, stopped looking at the photo that had been preserved for more than 20 years, and closed the terminal in front of him.

"Hmph... It's good that that guy is dead. Anyway, he was just a chess piece that Bishop Otto sent to contain her on a whim. He won't deliberately care about the life and death of such a small person. Forget about this kind of thing..."

283 Shirley's Plan

"Shiris, are you saying that the Destiny Organization was either negligent or didn't take this so-called new captain seriously? That's too far-fetched! Would the Destiny Organization really make such a low-level mistake?"

"Of course I know that this kind of thing does sound unlikely, but... just like what Aiyin said just now, the personal terminal of a member who is confirmed dead will be automatically destroyed. When this officer was attacked, the communicator of Tianming should have known about it. But after so long, the information on the terminal has not been deleted?"

Facing Tesla's question, Shilis responded calmly. At this moment, her eyes were completely focused on the words "Captain Hyperion" on the light screen file, with an inexplicable light in her eyes.

"Except for the mistakes of the Destiny Organization itself, I really can't think of any other reason to explain this situation."

Tesla still had some doubts about Hillis's simple-sounding but extremely reasonable speculation.

"But it could also be a trap..."

"A trap? Fulei, do you think that the Destiny Organization knew that the ME Company was our current secret base as soon as the Honkai broke out? This explanation is even more far-fetched than the point I made."

Shirley retorted, then reached out and picked up the personal terminal on the table.

"Siris, what are you planning to do...?"

"Since you have already concluded that the Destiny Organization will investigate the cause of death of Colonel Iger, then it's okay for me to use this terminal that has not yet been deregistered to do something."

As she chuckled, an arc of electricity suddenly appeared between the fingers of Shilis holding the terminal.

(Cracking begins...)

With the help of Honkai energy to simulate the current, Shiris directly connected the terminal to her body, sent instructions through the biochip in her brain, and with the chip's automatic deciphering ability comparable to that of an advanced computer, she easily obtained the login verification and hacked into the Destiny Network to which the terminal was connected.

Network......

"What?! It can still be used normally?"

The screen of the terminal flashed, and suddenly the words "Tianming Turkey Branch" appeared, which looked like the homepage of a website. Seeing this, Tesla couldn't help but exclaimed and hurried forward to the side of the terminal.

"Quick! Shilis, see if the information in here can be retrieved."

Before Tesla finished speaking, Shiris clicked on the first item on the homepage, "Battleship Enhancement Plan". The next moment, dense data appeared on the small light screen. Tesla took a closer look and found that it was the most confidential troop configuration data of a branch...

Looking at these data, Einstein's pupils shrank and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"This...Dr. Tesla, with all due respect, your inference is completely wrong. In any case, how could the Destiny Organization sell out the intelligence of a branch for an inexplicable trap!"

Raiden Ryoma was also looking at the terminal in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"This is really... However, could the Destiny Organization actually make such a serious mistake? It's really unbelievable..."

Quickly browsing the information displayed on the terminal, Hillis had never expected that things would go so smoothly. When using this terminal to access the branch's network, she did not encounter any firewalls, which meant that it was definitely not the trap Tesla mentioned...

After carefully clearing all traces of her previous visit, Hillarys smiled and handed the terminal to Tesla, deactivating the biochip.

"Okay... If it weren't for the problem with the intelligence department of the Destiny Organization, I really can't think of any reason why they would take the initiative to do such a thing. So, Fulei, do you still think that the Destiny Organization has been prepared for this?"

"this......"

Looking at the speechless red-haired girl, Shirley looked at Bronya with a puzzled expression, smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, then turned her gaze to Einstein and Raiden Ryuma next to her, and her expression became a little smug.

"Now, I think you are willing to believe me, right? Using this lost terminal, we should be able to intercept a lot of information about the Destiny Organization!"

With Shiris's new discovery, Raiden Ryoma and Einstein slowly felt relieved.

"I never thought that your guess was right, Ms. Hillis. It seems that this is indeed the fault of the Destiny Organization..."

Raiden Ryoma exclaimed, looking at the silver-haired girl in front of him with strange eyes. Ignoring the possibility of traps and directly cracking the terminal left by the enemy, although it seems a bit reckless, no matter what, since the result is good, there is no need to say anything more.

Einstein also completely relaxed and looked at Tesla who continued to fiddle with the terminal.

"That's right... But we must be careful to clean up the browsing history. If the Destiny Organization knew that the original owner of the terminal was dead and saw the browsing history we left here, it would probably turn out to be as bad as we originally expected..."

After hearing Einstein's words,

"Wait, everyone, don't worry about the target's death. Do you remember the mission briefing issued by Otto? I suddenly have a bold idea. Would you like to listen to it?"

After the discussion, Shiris left the meeting room, and Bronya walked side by side with her towards the inner accommodation area.

Just now, regarding how to deal with the remaining data on the terminal, Shirley took full responsibility. At this moment, thinking about the captain's assignment instructions, she felt a little entangled.

With the permissions she gained after the intrusion, she could naturally modify the personal information of the terminal. Therefore, it is theoretically possible to directly replace a person's identity without Tianming knowing...

So, it's pretty obvious what to do in this situation...

"Um, Sister Shiris, did you just hack into that terminal? How did you do that? Bronya clearly didn't see any auxiliary tools from you..."

When they arrived at a spacious corridor somewhere in the building, Bronya suddenly looked at the silver-haired girl beside her with some concern. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked a question that puzzled her very much.

"Siris, I just saw that you just held the terminal in your hand and completed the hacking operation that required entering the code. Um... can you tell Bronya how you did it?"

As a gamer who loves electronic information technology and hacking technology, Bronya is naturally curious about what just happened. It is precisely because she knows the complex principles involved that she pays attention to such details.

On the other side, looking at the gray-haired girl's eager eyes, Shirley also felt a little troubled.

After all, the fact that he had modified his body and installed a biochip in his brain was a secret, and he had not told his friends. After all, whether it was Kiana, Seele or Bronya, they all had great resistance to human body modification.

Thinking of this, Shiris frowned slightly. After a brief thought, she returned to her usual gentle smile and responded to Bronya's question.

"This... should be considered my unique ability. I can use Honkai energy to simulate four different energies, and electromagnetic force is one of them. I use electric current to connect my thoughts and the terminal, and control the terminal with brain waves..."

"Eh?! Sister Shilis, you... you can achieve the computing speed of a computer just by using your brain? And you can also accurately simulate the electrical signals of the code?!"

Seeing Bronya's eyes wide open with an expression as if she had seen a ghost, Shirley realized that she might have said something wrong, but it was impossible to regret what she had said.

"Yeah... That's right! Because my body was affected by Honkai energy, my constitution has mutated in some ways, so I can do this..."

"Really? I see. The power of Houkai energy is enough to affect the intelligence of living things... Then, as the Herrscher who symbolizes Houkai, her brain must be developed to a terrifying degree... But Seele doesn't seem to have become too smart...?"

Seeing Bronya mumbling with her head down, Hillis smiled bitterly and shook her head, thinking that she had finally gotten away with it.

Looking at Bronya walking side by side with her, the girl was still immersed in the shock just now. At this time, Shirley's eyes could not help but focus on the side of her head. The two Roman curls that danced slightly with her steps looked very interesting.

Suddenly unable to control herself, Shirley took a step closer and stretched out her hand, pinching the dancing curly hair on the side of Bronya's head, gently pulling it down, and immediately letting go...

The next moment, Bronya's curly hair bounced up and down slowly like a compressed spring. Feeling the abnormality of her hair, the girl's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. She slowly turned her head and looked at Shirley in confusion, waiting for her explanation.

283 Shirley's Plan>>

"...?"

"Pfft... Sorry, sorry... Hehe, I just suddenly wanted to see what would happen if I pulled this style of hair. It turns out that it can really bounce back..."

Looking at the bewildered gray-haired girl, Shirley felt so cute that she couldn't help laughing. Bronya's expressionless and blank look reminded her of the emotionless Bronya in the early games, who had a greeting on her head after being touched...

"..."

Hearing this, Bronya tilted her head and stared at Shiris silently. After a long while, she sighed softly and slowly looked away.

Seeing Bronya's reaction, Shiris' smile faded slightly.

"What's wrong, Bronya, are you unhappy? It's just a little joke..."

"Bronya is not unhappy... It's just that, Sister Sis... Bronya just thought that you were replaced by a single-celled organism that I met in Changkong City..."

Bronya said in a helpless whisper. She was a little surprised that this usually gentle and serious sister Shiris would actually do such a nonsensical thing...

When Bronya mentioned another "Kiana", Shiris was stunned for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to normal.

"Don't mind it, Bronya. If you are not in a hurry to go back, just walk with me for a while. I suddenly want to go to the underground training ground of ME Club. I remember that everyone likes to gather there..."

After hearing Shirley's suggestion, Bronya temporarily put aside what had just happened and nodded.

"Well, Bronya, there's nothing urgent. But please wait a moment, Bronya will also call Seele over... She seems to be troubled recently, Bronya feels a little worried..."

"Hey, you two are inseparable... Then ask her to come along. Really, what troubles could a little girl have..."

Shilis nodded, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"I guess Kiana is there now. According to Tesla, she is doing theoretical training in the morning and conducting combat training independently in the afternoon. This kind of self-discipline is really enviable..."

Walking into the elevator with Bronya, Silis once again fell into deep thought as she silently looked at the floor signs that appeared on the light screen.

(By the way... if we want to use that terminal to conceal the truth, we need another "captain" to fill this position. Haha... is this God's will? However, Theresa must know me, and so does Kiana. So, who should I give this mission to?

Woolen cloth......?)

·————————————·

Dozens of minutes later, Shiris brought the two girls to the underground area of ​​ME Club.

Next to Bronya, the girl with short dark blue hair slowly raised her head and looked at the silver-haired girl walking in front of her. With Bronya's encouragement, she expressed her troubles.

"Sister Shirley... Shirley heard before that Cocolia's mother is planning to take action against the ME company recently? Is this true?"

"Yes, it's true. The internal division problem of the Anti-Entropy Organization is far more serious than I thought. So this time, I'm afraid we really have to stand on the opposite side of Mother..."

Shirley nodded, looking at the uneasy Xier with a serious look in her eyes.

"Xi'er, you probably don't want to fight Cocolia, right? If that's the case, just say it directly. I will never force you to do something you hate."

"Yes, Seele. Bronya also thinks that Seele doesn't have to force herself to do uncomfortable things..."

Bronya also said what Hillis said, to comfort the girl beside her. However, Hill shook her head vigorously.

“No! Seele… I won’t run away anymore! I can’t always leave the trouble to Miss Stigmata, but the thought of fighting with my mother always makes me feel a little uncomfortable… I’m sorry to have made you worry, Sister Cialis, Sister Bronya… No matter what, please let Seele join the battle!”
