K424 of the Collapse World

"Now that things have come to this, do you think... I will still believe your denial? Thank you... for saving me at that time and teaching me the meaning of protection. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't know until now why my father would fight to the death to protect innocent people..."

Hugging the girl whose hair had returned to silver-white color, "Kiana" took a deep breath and hugged Shirley's body even tighter. Putting her cheek against the girl's side face, "Kiana" could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes...

"I thought I would never see you again... You're still alive, it's really... That's great... Woo woo..."

Feeling the slightly trembling body of the girl in her arms, Shirley sighed and gently hugged the girl's back.

Kiana's confirmation of her identity was purely accidental, and although there was a mistake in the source of the scar, it was basically the truth. If I still deny it under such circumstances, I probably won't be able to convince Kiana...

Thinking of this, Shilis glanced at Zhen Qiyana next to her with some apology, but found that the little girl had glanced at her without knowing when.

She turned to the other side, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and pouted her lips slightly, clearly expressing her "I'm unhappy" emotion to Shirley.

Seeing this, Shilis sighed helplessly.

(I’m sorry, Kiana… I shouldn’t have done this. But, I can’t just leave her alone now…)

Shilis put her mouth close to the girl's ear, raised her arms that were around her back, and ruffled the girl's hair.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, really... That's why I said at that time that we will definitely meet again..."

"Wow... Are you finally willing to admit it? Dad, you're the same way! You've been hiding everything from me! I really hate this! So this time, I won't let go! Please tell me, my father... Where is Siegfried Kaslana? And who are you? I can see that you must have known me for a long time! Also, the masked man who showed up at the academy yesterday must be Miss Diana!"

Kiana choked with sobs, but her tone was full of determination. It was obvious that she would not let go of the hand holding Cialis until she got an answer. Cialis fell silent. Her hand that was stroking Kiana's hair quietly stopped, and a faint arc of electric light flashed in her slightly open palm...

"I'm sorry, Kiana... I can't tell you. You absolutely can't bear the truth of what happened right now."

"No! Tell me now, how did you know I couldn't bear it..."

"Kiana" was shouting, but the next moment, her voice stopped abruptly, and her body softened, and she fell directly into Shirley's arms.

Taking advantage of the situation, she picked up the unconscious "Kiana" by the waist. With a complicated expression, Shirley looked at the girl who was still frowning slightly after fainting, and then she handed the silver-haired girl in her arms to Mei who was standing next to her.

"Take good care of her. This child should be your most important friend, right?"

"Ah! Excuse me... Kiana, what is this...?"

"I just fainted, that's all. As for the reason... maybe it was because of the strong emotional fluctuations? I think I'll be fine after a rest."

As Shirley spoke, her eyes involuntarily glanced to the other side. But Mei, who was confused at the moment, did not notice this. She quickly bowed to Shirley to thank her, and hurriedly hugged the silver-haired girl in her arms, wanting to rush to the infirmary. However, at this moment, a strong loli voice scared her so much that she almost threw the girl out...

"Stop it! What are you doing?!"

306 Solution

After hearing the loud noise and seeing the surveillance footage on the terminal, Theresa, who was worried about a conflict, left the Anti-Entropy members at the meeting and rushed over directly, wanting to stop them before the situation got worse.

Before she even reached the scene of the accident, the anxious Theresa couldn't help but shout out.

"Stop it! What are you doing!?"

When Theresa came to the corridor, she saw Mei holding an unconscious silver-haired girl in her arms. The other two silver-haired girls seemed to be about to leave, and suddenly became dazed. But soon, Theresa realized something, and hurried to Mei's side, looking worriedly at "Kiana" in Mei's arms.

"Hey! Mei, what happened? Qi...what happened to her?"

After carefully glancing at the expressionless Makiana next to her, Theresa squeezed in front of Mei and checked the silver-haired girl's body in a panic. The next moment, another girl's voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't worry, she just fell asleep and will wake up naturally in a few hours. You can also wake her up by patting her directly, but I don't recommend it. By the way, Miss Theresa, your 'niece' has caused us a lot of trouble just now..."

As she spoke, Shirley turned around. Although she looked calm, she couldn't hide the anxiety in her eyes. She clearly felt that Makiana's mood had begun to become abnormally agitated. Who knows what would happen if she dragged it on. The most important thing now was to have a good talk with her and explain the matter of K423 clearly, instead of wasting time on this annoying dwarf...

"I'm warning you in advance, Theresa. Don't think about telling this 'Kiana' the whole truth. Her psychological endurance is definitely not as strong as you think. The K-series experimental subjects created by our Silin Project all have the genes of the Second Herrscher mixed in their bodies. If you don't want to cause a big disaster, don't tell her anything unnecessary!"

As Shiris said this, she slightly turned her gaze and looked at Raiden Mei next to her.

"You too! Miss Mei... don't show such a wary and confused expression. Although there are some things I can tell you, you must promise not to tell that 'Kiana'. This matter is very serious, you must not tell

I let it slip... Remember! We did this just to protect her!"

As Shirley was speaking, she heard the sound of light footsteps coming from the other side of the corridor, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"It seems that I don't need to waste any more words. Someone will be happy to explain it to you next, Mei..."

Hearing this, Mei's face was still full of confusion. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but the next moment, a big hand gently placed on her shoulder.

"Eh?!"

Meiyi was suddenly touched and screamed a little, and turned her head quickly. However, when she saw the black-haired man standing behind her, Meiyi froze in her place, staring blankly at the familiar yet strange face...

“Father…?!”

"Long time no see, Mei."

As he spoke, Raiden Ryoma stood in front of Mei and gently patted the girl's shoulder. When he saw Theresa's communication screen in the conference room, he naturally saw the black-haired girl among the three white-haired girls. After recognizing that it was his daughter, Raiden Ryoma also left the conference room and followed Theresa here.

"You've been through so much these past few months...my daughter."

"Wow... Father... Dad! Am I dreaming now? Are you... really okay?"

Mei had been thinking about Kiana's problem until now. She had never expected to meet her father at this time! When things unfolded like this, her mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't know what to say...

Theresa, who was standing next to them, watched the father and daughter meet, hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing. She just stretched out her hand, gently took the silver-haired girl in Mei's arms into her own arms, took a few steps back, and left the father and daughter.

It was not until this time that Mei seemed to suddenly realize something. She threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her and pressed her head tightly against his broad chest.

"Dad... That's great, you're okay, I thought you were..."

"Okay, don't worry about it anymore, Mei. I've just been a little busy with work lately, otherwise I might have come to see you earlier..."

Stroking Mei's head, Raiden Ryoma's face was filled with a kindness that Shiris had never seen before. It was obvious that Mei's position in this man's heart far surpassed everything else.

"Mei, you haven't been home for a long time, right? Do you want to go back and take a look? Our home and me company."

After a while, Mei woke up with the sound of Raiden Ryoma and reluctantly left her father's arms.

"Eh...? Ah, but father, as I remember, our home and ME Company are both in the center of the third Houkai outbreak. Why is it still possible...? I'm sorry, this is all my fault..."

"Hehe... Don't blame yourself. I used the Herrscher Core to suppress the stigmata in your body. I should be the one who caused the third collapse. You will understand after you see it with your own eyes. Mei, I will tell you everything exactly as it happened."

As Raiden Ryoma spoke, he looked up and down at Mei in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, then turned his head and looked at Theresa who was silent not far away, and smiled faintly.

"It seems that you have not treated my daughter unfairly, Ms. Theresa. Thank you for not harming Mei just because she is a Herrscher."

"No, Mr. Raiden Ryoma, in my eyes, Mei is not a Herrscher, she is just an ordinary girl. We cannot put all the tragedies caused by Honkai on an innocent girl. In St. Freya Academy, except for a few of us, no one knows that Mei is the third Herrscher. Therefore, Mei's safety can be absolutely guaranteed."

Theresa said seriously, her expression becoming a little solemn. After the communication with Thunder Ryoma just now, Theresa realized that the man in charge of the ME Club was the real leader of the Anti-Entropy members. Therefore, facing this executor who controlled a powerful armed force, Theresa instinctively felt a little nervous.

306 Solution>>

"I see... Thank you again, Ms. Theresa. I used to think that the leaders of the Destiny Organization were all inhumane guys, but you have changed my stereotype."

"Don't say that. In fact, I envy your anti-entropy conservative atmosphere. Most of the guys in the Destiny Organization are still as you said, cold and inhuman... Uh, really, what am I talking about? You actually slander your own organization in front of the enemy..."

Theresa was talking when her face suddenly froze and she muttered something with a strange expression. Hearing her mumbling, Thunder Horse smiled knowingly and turned his attention to his daughter again.

"So, what do you think of what I just said, Mei?"

"Well, this... is really too sudden, father.

You haven't told me why the ME company still exists after the collapse, and what happened to you? Why are you suddenly involved with the Anti-Entropy Organization? I know nothing about these things... Why did you suddenly let me leave with you... "

Mei said, with a doubtful expression and a little hesitation. Seeing this, Raiden Ryoma smiled and looked at Shiris who had not left yet, looking for help.

"Mei, I can explain these things to you directly, but it's better for Miss Shirley to explain them to you. After all, it was she who proposed the decision to confront the Far East Branch. Is that okay, Miss Shirley?"

"Well... it's okay, but..."

As Shirley spoke, she looked at Kiana beside her, feeling somewhat embarrassed. However, after a brief silence, Kiana gently shook her head and bowed to Shirley.

"It's okay, Sister Shilis, I'll go back to everyone first, you should come back soon too..."

"Um... sorry, Kiana. I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Looking at the lonely back of the silver-haired girl as she left alone, Shirley suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of guilt, but Raiden Ryoma and the others were still waiting here, so Shirley quickly adjusted her emotions and came to Mei and Raiden Ryoma.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shiris, Shiris Kaslana. Hmm... where should I start? By the way, Miss Mei, do you know what exactly Mr. Raiden Ryoma's company does?"

"Father's business? As I recall... isn't it the research and development of advanced electronic products and high-tech chips?"

Hearing this, Shilis glanced at the Thunder Ryoma next to her and found that he was not looking at her, so she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She didn't understand why she had to explain these things to her when Thunder Ryoma could have told Mei in person...

However, even though she thought so, she had already promised Raiden Ryoma that she would explain everything to Mei, so Shiris stopped thinking about it.

"As expected, I don't know... Well, after staying in Saint Freya for so long, you should know what 'anti-entropy' is, right?"

"Yes... Although I don't know much, I still know that the hostile forces of the Anti-Entropy Destiny Organization are also an evil organization that endangers the world. Yesterday's attack was planned by them..."

Mei said hesitantly, with a hidden and complicated look in her eyes. Shilis naturally knew what she was worried about, so she walked over with a smile.

"Hehe... Let me tell you the truth. I hope you won't be too surprised. In fact, the ME company run by Mr. Raiden Ryoma is a research institute under Anti-Entropy~"

"What... this...? So, were you responsible for the attack yesterday...?"

"Ms. Mei, can you please listen to me first? Sigh... It seems that we should first resolve the misunderstanding about the Anti-Entropy Organization..."

·————————————·

"Eh... In other words, the people who launched the attack yesterday were members of the anti-entropy radical faction? And father and Miss Shilis, you all belong to the so-called 'conservative' faction?"

After a detailed explanation, Mei finally understood the situation. However, even after knowing this, she still felt a little unbelievable. It turned out that her family had been involved in the dispute between the Honkai forces from the beginning, and her transformation into a Herrscher was not accidental, but was destined from the beginning...

"But why... didn't you tell me the truth at the beginning? This is not something I can't bear... Rather, I am also happy to help my father..."

After hearing Mei's words, Raiden Ryoma was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Mei, in fact... I didn't want to involve you in this world. However, I failed to protect you and accidentally let you come into contact with the essence of the world... At this point, there is no other way to remedy the situation. I can only let you join us, Mei. Don't worry, we in the Anti-Entropy Organization are more powerful than the Far East Branch, and we will never let you suffer any harm again!"

"..."

However, after hearing these words, Mei did not agree immediately as Raiden Ryoma expected, but fell silent again. The next moment, her eyes quietly turned to Kiana who was held by Theresa, her eyes full of attachment.

Seeing Mei's reaction, Raiden Ryoma frowned in confusion, but before he could speak, Shiris suddenly interrupted.

"Wait a minute, Miss Mei doesn't have to leave St. Freya Academy, right? Mr. Raiden Ryoma. Have you forgotten? Changkong City, where the ME Club is located, is still a region where collapses frequently occur, right? Putting Miss Mei there is really worse than leaving St. Freya Academy.

Is the school safe? "

Having said that, Shirley took a deep breath and finally decided to speak out a plan that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"Ms. Theresa, you should be clear about our purpose, right? Since the alliance has been decided, then... you shouldn't mind recruiting a group of 'excellent' students at St. Freya Academy, right?"

307Truth

"Expand enrollment?"

Hearing what Shilis had just said, Theresa was stunned for a moment. But soon, she realized what the girl said.

"You want St. Freya Academy to train combatants for you to reverse entropy? This kind of thing..."

Theresa said, her expression becoming somewhat embarrassed.

"St. Freya Academy is a formal Valkyrie training institution. We can only train warriors who possess the power of the stigmata. Not everyone can become a Valkyrie."

As she spoke, she shook her head.

"Also... although we have established a temporary cooperative relationship, it is only a preliminary cooperative relationship. In fact, I still don't know much about your anti-entropy affairs, but in contrast, you seem to know everything about my affairs, which really makes me a little worried. I'm sorry, Miss Shilis, for the safety of our academy, your request, I'm afraid..."

"Wait a minute, Ms. Theresa. When did I say that we need Saint Freya to help us train combatants?"

Shirley interrupted Theresa's words impatiently. She walked up to the worried-looking white-haired girl again and slowly half-knelt down.

"I just want to keep some special girls in your academy. After all, our base is located in the center of Honkai, which is not safe at all. I just want those girls to get used to normal life. This is not too much, right?"

"Girls?"

"Well, although there are not many of them, most of them are real girls~ definitely not legal lolita like you, Miss Theresa. The youngest of them is only 14 years old, and as for the oldest... uh... anyway, anyway! I can guarantee that they are all very obedient and will definitely not cause you any trouble, probably..."

Listening to the girl's obviously hesitant words, Theresa looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her suspiciously, was silent for a moment, and sighed softly.

"It turns out that there are girls with special powers in your Anti-Entropy Organization... I thought that the Anti-Entropy Organization would not conduct human experiments like the Destiny experiment..."

"Although I don't deny what you said, the powers of those girls are basically innate."

At this point, Theresa had already made up her mind about the matter. Although the Anti-Entropy Organization had been hostile to the Destiny Organization for a long time, the relationship between her and the Destiny Headquarters had also deteriorated to a serious degree. Moreover, these regular Anti-Entropy members who called themselves "conservatives" were not the vicious illegal armed forces that she had imagined. And among them, there was a person who was very important to her...

(Since Kiana has been rescued, there is no need for me to listen to the orders from the headquarters anymore, right? Moreover, if what these people said is true, then Grandpa Otto is the culprit who endangers the world! He actually wants to control the real Herrscher... Although there is no evidence yet, if it is Grandpa Otto... he will definitely do such a thing!)

Theresa bit her lip, her eyes becoming more and more serious.

(Although there are no doubts, we cannot believe it immediately. These things still need to be investigated... However, Kiana is safe, so now the biggest trouble is solved! Before figuring out all this, let's deal with these anti-entropy guys first!)

"Well... this isn't a big deal, but I still want to ask just in case. Will they pose a threat to other students in our academy?"

"I've said it before, they are girls, normal people with flesh and blood! They are not irrational monsters. Your concern is really incomprehensible. Rather, I am worried about whether our international students will be bullied..."

"What a joke! The Valkyries of Saint Freya Academy are all good, law-abiding girls who would never do such a terrible thing! Phew... Well, before that, shouldn't I, the principal, take a look at the 'foreign students' who are about to be enrolled?"

Seeing that Theresa had agreed, a smile appeared on the corner of Shilis's mouth.
