K424 of the Collapse World

Suddenly something rang out, and Theresa's mouth twitched. She remembered what she had done not long ago, and she couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"Okay... I agree to connect the communication. I want to see what nonsense those guys can say! It just so happens that the guy has not woken up after fainting, so I can get news about Kiana in advance..."

Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Between the Ark...

When there are no meetings, this secret space within the organization should be immersed in silence. However, after the radicals' invasion of Saint Freya failed, the executors involved in the operation turned this place into a debate site...

"Dr. Tesla, please tell me clearly! Did you leak the information about our operation to Destiny in advance?!"

"Yes, otherwise, how could those stupid women in the Far East Branch prepare in advance? This operation is an absolutely secret sneak attack, and Tianming will never know about it!"

"Where are the rest of you conservatives? Why are you the only one here? I understand. They got scared after betraying the organization, so they pushed you out as a scapegoat, right?!"

"..."

Most of the indignant people present were the executors of the troops sent by the anti-entropy radicals. The operation that was originally a sure thing failed completely because of the advance preparation of the Destiny Organization. This must have happened because the traitor leaked the news!

"Speaking of which, Dr. Tesla, I heard that you cooperated with the Valkyries of Destiny during the campaign to encircle and suppress the Second Herrscher ten years ago. Did you collude with them and plan to eliminate our radical faction and then join the Destiny organization?"

"Please answer the question, Dr. Tesla. We will not be satisfied by remaining silent!"

"That's right...! Could it be that this lolita is having an affair with the shorty principal of the Far East branch?"

"Please give us an explanation...!"

However, facing the repeated bombardment of these radical executors, Tesla just stood there, lowered her head slightly, and no one could see her expression.

298 Responsibility>>

Recalling what Shilis told her before entering the Ark, Tesla remained calm on the surface, but sneered in his heart.

(As expected... Even if Shiris and the others didn't reveal any clues during the operation, they would definitely suspect the conservatives after the operation failed. In this case...)

Feeling that it was almost brewing, Tesla took a deep breath, raised his head, and tears flickered in his eyes.

"The conservatives are usually very busy, so usually, only I and Ain are reporting... But Ain..."

Tesla said, his voice suddenly becoming choked.

As Tesla's abnormality was discovered, the space gradually quieted down. The red-haired girl who was accused by everyone relaxed a little, then turned her head and looked at Cocolia who also had a gloomy face.

"Ms. Cocolia, I remember... Ain followed you to invade the Far East Branch. Why did you come back alone? Where is Ain? Where did you take my Ain?!"

Faced with Tesla's questioning, Kokolia remained silent, which was unusual for him, not knowing how to answer the question.

Cocolia also felt a little strange at this moment. Logically speaking, when she used the quantum leap system to escape, there was no reason for Einstein not to leave with her... Could it be that before Einstein left, Theresa took some measures?

Cocolia's silence makes Tesla interested

She stamped her feet vigorously, and glanced angrily at the radical executors present.

"You guys...! If anything happens to Aiyin, I will never let you go! No matter what, according to you, it is me who caused the failure of the entire Anti-Entropy Organization and Aiyin's life and death is unknown? You think that the failure of this operation is all my fault? Right?"

As Tesla's almost screaming words came out, the executors on the scene lost more momentum than Tesla. Soon, someone tried to calm things down.

"Um... please calm down, Dr. Tesla."

"Calm down? Why should I calm down?! What right do you have to give me orders? If you want me to calm down, then you should give my Aiyin back to me first!"

Tesla said excitedly, and the person trying to stop the fight didn't know how to respond, and suddenly shut up in embarrassment. Tesla, who was originally the target of condemnation, suddenly became the victim, and the atmosphere of the rally became more and more awkward...

"Dr. Tesla, how about we make a deal?"

At this time, Cocolia, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. She looked at Tesla, who looked sad, with an inexplicable light in her eyes.

"As long as you return Shirley to me, I promise to organize a strong assault force in the shortest possible time, break through the Far East Branch, and rescue Dr. Einstein..."

Cocolia said seriously that although she hated the notorious Dr. Tesla in front of her, she really wanted to negotiate such a deal with him. But Tesla just glanced at her lightly and shook his head heavily.

"It's your fault that Aiyin disappeared! Why don't you go and find her right away? Why are you still here negotiating terms with me?! Humph, but there's no need for you to go. Mr. Raiden Ryoma is contacting the person in charge of the Far East Branch, hoping that the other party can release Aiyin in accordance with the International Prisoner of War Law... As for your daughter, Shiris? Haha... Maybe the Far East Branch will use her as a condition for Aiyin's release. It will be more useful for me to exchange her for Aiyin than to give her to you!"

"you dare?!"

After hearing Tesla's words, Cocolia's eyes widened with anger, and she almost stabbed the red-haired girl in front of her to death with her eyes. But Tesla just sneered and activated his terminal.

"Why should I be afraid? Don't think I don't know that the new executor, Shirley, who has just joined our conservative faction, was once your adopted daughter. But no matter who she was before, she is now our subordinate. So, using an ordinary member to exchange for Aiyin, a core member, is still worth it!"

"Wait! Tesla! You..."

Before Cocolia finished speaking, Tesla pressed a button on the light screen in front of him. The next moment, her figure suddenly disappeared between the Ark, leaving only the radical members with complicated expressions and Cocolia with a dull face...

In a flash of light, the red-haired girl left the Ark and returned to the previous area of ​​​​ME Club.

The next moment, the sad and anxious expression on her face suddenly disappeared, and then it turned into a helpless look as if she had lost all desire to live.

"You're back. How was the meeting, Fleur?"

Hearing the girl's voice coming from behind him, Tesla turned his head slightly, and when he saw the silver-haired girl waiting here, he smiled confidently.

"It's done. I told the radicals what you told me, and it seems to be working. Besides, that vixen Kokolia seems to really care about you... By the way, how's Aiyin's situation going?"

"Mr. Raiden Ryoma has just negotiated with the Destiny Organization and has confirmed that Aiyin is not in any danger at the moment. She is just slightly injured and has been detained by the Far East Branch."

After receiving this news, Tesla finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"I see... But I really don't understand why Aiyin was suddenly arrested... But if that's the case, what should we do? The Far East Branch of the Mandate of Heaven will not just let her go, right?"

"That's true. Saint Freya was just attacked by the Anti-Entropy Organization. As soon as the battle was over, Anti-Entropy came to demand hostages. They don't know that we are divided into two factions. If I were Theresa, I would probably be furious now."

"Ah? What should we do then? What if that dwarf gets angry and gets in a bad mood, and then he really does something to Aiyin? If Aiyin is taken to the headquarters of Tianming, then everything will be over..."

Hearing this, Shilis smiled, shook her head, and raised a finger.

"Don't worry. I know Theresa. She has fallen out with Otto over Kiana's matter. It's impossible for her to have anything to do with the headquarters. As for how to solve the problem, I think...it's time for us to confront the Far East Branch!"

299 Troubles

"Okay~ That way there's no

There is a problem, but remember not to make any big moves during this period of time."

"Well, thank you, doctor..."

In the infirmary of the Far East Branch of the Destiny, the purple-haired girl named Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had a look of despair on her face. After thanking the woman in a white coat in front of her, she reached out to touch the two crutches placed next to the chair, propped them up under her armpits, and limped out of the Saint Freya's Medical Center...

"Really... Can't you let me show off my captain style? Or is this a test from God?"

Jiuxiao muttered to himself, ignoring the Valkyries hiding in the corners and casting curious glances at him, and walked towards Hyperion's docking place.

In the previous battle, the Anti-Entropy Force was quickly thrown into chaos by Hyperion's surprise attack, and the Destiny Force's combat power quickly gained an absolute advantage.

As the captain, Jiuxiao had no other orders to give except the orbital gun attack order issued at the beginning. However, looking at the Valkyries fighting, Jiuxiao's blood suddenly became excited. At that time, she was extremely eager to join the exciting battle...

Then, she ran out of the captain's room, and under the astonished gaze of the warship staff and the Valkyries, she rushed directly into the airborne combat management cabin, and imitated the movements of the Valkyries, jumping down from the open hatch...

"Ah! Captain Houraiji, what are you doing!!"

"As a commander, you should personally lead the charge into the enemy camp! I, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, am not one of those rats who can only hide in the back and give orders!"

He turned around and smiled back at the Valkyrie who had stopped him, and then Jiuxiao's figure quietly fell down, like a hero in a movie or TV show falling from the sky...

"But you didn't bring any cushioning equipment!"

(Hmm? Did she say anything else? It seems like some kind of cushioned landing device... What is that?)

At that time, when Jiuxiao jumped down, she only heard the shouts of a landing assistant next to her. Before she could react, she was knocked unconscious by the high-speed airflow and fell rapidly into the Titan array on the ground. If it weren't for a Valkyrie who landed at the same time and grabbed her legs in time, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao would have become Jiuxiao sauce at this moment.

However, even so, with Jiuxiao's physical fitness, even if she was successfully rescued, her legs were accidentally broken by the Valkyrie who rescued her, and the two landed safely with Jiuxiao's embarrassing screams. So, after the battle, there was this scene in the infirmary just now...

Looking at his bandaged legs, Jiu Xiao's face flushed, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Although he was saved, he was not crippled by the fall, but his leg was accidentally broken by his companion, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Those small pointed wings on their backs that look like decorations are actually the so-called airborne devices... Tsk! Who would have known that such a small thing could assist in airborne landings! I thought they just jumped directly... Also, didn't Lady Shilis say before that my strength is comparable to that of an ordinary Valkyrie? But why are my legs as fragile as paper in their hands?"

Jiuxiao moved forward awkwardly with crutches, muttering with a complicated expression. Fortunately, the official Valkyries on the Hyperion were not gossipy, and his embarrassing behavior did not seem to be exposed. I am afraid that those Valkyries still think that these injuries on his body were caused when resisting the enemy troops...

(That’s right! The scars left from the battles are the medals of having experienced the real battlefield! So, my leg injury is no exception...)

Thinking of this, Jiu Xiao suddenly felt that the Valkyries' prying eyes were not so glaring anymore, and the confidence she had before returned to her. But the next moment, Jiu Xiao suddenly felt a sinking on her shoulders, and a subtle pressure directly acted on her injured leg, causing her to gasp in pain and almost cry out in pain.

"hiss......!"

Even with the medical treatment of Tianming's biotechnology, the broken bones can be recovered within a week. However, this does not mean that there will be no pain during the injury. Jiuxiao gritted his teeth and trembled in the severe pain. He finally managed to hold the crutches together, then turned his head angrily and looked at the petite figure next to him who looked confused.

"Um...are you okay? Captain Houraiji?"

"Hey! Principal Theresa, what are you doing? First of all, my leg was injured in the battle, so please don't hang on me like you just now!"

Hearing Jiuxiao's angry voice, Theresa quickly let go of her hand, took a few steps back like a child who had done something wrong, rubbed her hands helplessly, her eyes full of guilt.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... Captain, I just wanted to support you..."

After hearing about the captain's great achievements in fighting against anti-entropy, Theresa was full of favor for the new captain. She was sure that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was a

A competent captain...

Theresa had a lot of respect for Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, and she was going to thank him. But she didn't expect that she would mess things up inexplicably just when she was going to have a little chat with him...

"No need! This level of injury can't stop the savior. Besides, have you ever seen anyone hang their entire body on the patient when helping others? Miss Theresa, you are too short!"

"Woo..."

Hearing Jiuxiao's words, Theresa was struck by lightning and froze in her place. The next moment, she bit her lips in grievance and lowered her head in frustration.

In the past, when people said she was short, she should have been angry. But now, she was in the wrong and couldn't get angry at all...

Jiuxiao complained a few words, then continued to walk forward with difficulty on crutches. The fractured part had been completely fixed by a machine, so she was not worried about her leg being dislocated by Theresa. However, because she was an ordinary girl a few months ago, even after professional training, her tolerance for pain was still a little poor...

But after taking two steps, Jiuxiao felt a slight resistance from the hem of his clothes. He turned back again, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong again? Principal Theresa."

"I'm really sorry for what happened earlier... Actually, Captain Houraiji, I just had a negotiation with a representative of the Anti-Entropy Organization."

"..."

"It's like this. Because the matter here is a bit complicated, we plan to hold a meeting with the top leaders of Anti-Entropy at St. Freya Academy. That... Captain Houraiji, since you are also one of the top leaders of our branch, so this meeting..."

"Anti-entropy...?"

Hearing this, a light flashed in Jiuxiao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"I understand. I will attend on time. Also, please don't help me anymore. I can walk by myself."

299 Troubles>>

·————————————·

"Have you reached an agreement with Theresa, Mr. Raiden Ryoma?"

"Well, she seemed to want to talk to us in person rather than on the terminal screen. So, we agreed to have a secret meeting at St. Freya Academy. By the way, she also specifically mentioned that Kiana Kaslana from our organization should also attend the meeting, otherwise, she would not release the captured researcher..."

In the office of ME Company, after hearing the answer from Raiden Ryoma, Shiris nodded slightly and turned her gaze to another silver-haired girl next to her.

"Hehe... Kiana, it seems that Miss Theresa still cares about you... So, do you want to forgive her? I think she can't let go of the feelings between her and you..."

Shirley asked with a smile. When she brought back Yaezakura and Asakura Miyuki last time, she explained to Kiana the identity of Theresa and her relationship with her, and that she took care of K423 as if she were the real Kiana...

Hearing this, Kiana tilted her head, her expression not changing at all.

"Forgive? There is no relationship between me and that stupid nun, so how can I forgive her? Besides, I am not her 'Kiana'."

"But, she is indeed Cecilia's sister and your aunt... When you were little, Theresa doted on you and you liked Theresa very much..."

"But I don't remember. Mother, what do you want me to do?"

Kiana shook her head calmly, her eyes still without any fluctuation. Hearing the name she hadn't heard for a long time, Shirley sighed softly.

"No, I was just saying that. Since you already have your own plans, I won't interfere. Well, let's leave it at that regarding Theresa. I've said it before, I'm not the real Cecilia, so I won't restrict you like a mother. But you have to go with me to this meeting. Otherwise, Ain might be in trouble..."

"Well, Sister Shilis, for Dr. Einstein, I will definitely complete this task seriously."

"Is it just a mission? Yeah, I understand. That's good."

Shirley nodded, then turned her head and continued to look at the terminal screen floating in the office, but her thoughts became confused.

(It really isn't that easy... Kiana won't forgive Theresa. Judging from the facts, this is completely natural. If it were me, I would never forgive an aunt who didn't care about her own experience and instead found a substitute as a niece. Although Saint Freya's "k423 Kiana" is innocent, from Kiana's perspective, her existence is a mistake. Damn, it's really a headache...)

She rubbed her eyebrows, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

(Wait, why should I be upset about this? Since this is you, Theresa

You have to bear all the consequences of your own sins! But... I just hope Kiana won't vent her anger on that "Kiana"...)

On the surface, Shirley pretended to browse the information to hide her agitated mind.

Even though she knew that Kiana's anger was justified, in her heart, Shiris didn't want Kiana to really break up with Theresa...
