K424 of the Collapse World

Looking down at her tightly wrapped chest, Ji Zi's slightly red face showed a trace of shame and anger. After this intriguing Chinese character was tattooed on her chest, she could no longer proudly show her proud chest to others like before, but had to cover it up at ordinary times. She could no longer wear low-cut long skirts such as evening gowns, and most importantly, with such a word written on her chest that almost all men understood, how could she go on a blind date! !

"I still want to get married... You damned little girl! I must teach you a lesson!"

Thinking of this, Ji Zi's anger rose. She muttered to herself, briefly checked the dormitory registration information displayed on the terminal, and walked towards a room deep in the corridor...

Holding the powerful active pen tightly in her hand, Ji Zi walked through the corridor of the dormitory without making any sound. Although such revenge was a bit childish, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with punishing the girl's bad taste. It was not that she was too petty, but this kind of thing was really a very hurtful misunderstanding for a normal woman...

In fact, Jizi has an indescribable complex feeling towards the girl who was once mistaken for the third Herrscher by the Far East Branch. Ever since she encountered that girl and was "killed" by her once, a series of strange changes have occurred in her body. First, the degree of collapse erosion of her body inexplicably decreased, and then she possessed a powerful force that was obviously beyond the previous one. In Jizi's opinion, these things could not have nothing to do with the mysterious girl. And now, the silver-haired girl named Shiris, who is actually the experimental subject k424, has completely exposed herself and the organization behind her to the Far East Branch. Jizi does not want to miss this opportunity to figure everything out. She wants to know what the other party did to her body and why she did it...

"But then again... should I ask the real question first, or should I attack her first?"

Standing in front of an ordinary wooden door, Ji Zi put her hand on the door with some hesitation, considering whether to knock on the door or secretly open it. After a psychological struggle, she finally gritted her teeth, took out the key she had obtained from some channels from her pocket, and slowly inserted it into the keyhole...

She slowed down her movements as much as possible and suppressed the sound of the lock turning to the minimum. Although there was no guarantee that she would not be discovered, Jizi felt that under her control, the sound of opening the door was as light as an ant.

(Really... why do I feel so guilty, and what on earth am I doing? Breaking into an underage girl's room and forcing her... never mind, it doesn't matter. It's not the first time I've ended up in Kiana's bed for no apparent reason. And, I'm not going to do anything weird, I'm just going to write a few words on her body... Tsk! The more I think about it, the weirder it gets...)

Thinking of this, Jizi's mouth twitched, and she simply stopped worrying about the rationality of her behavior. She was completely determined not to give up until she got her revenge. She turned her wrist slightly and opened the door in front of her without a sound. In her opinion, she had broken through the only defense of Shirley, and the girl's defenseless body was about to be exposed in front of her...

(Speaking of which, she seems to be quite busy at work recently. Being the school doctor of the Valkyrie Academy is really hard... But, this is just right! If you are so busy at work, you should sleep very deeply during your lunch break... Well, although it is admirable that you work so hard, these things cannot offset what you did to me before!)

Putting her ear against the door, Ji Zi listened carefully to the sound behind the door. After confirming that there was no other sound inside, she determined that the girl should be asleep, so she gently pushed open the door.

Under her precise control, the hinge of the wooden door did not make any harsh creaking sound. As the wooden door slowly opened, just as Jizi was planning to sneak into the room without anyone noticing and leave her own mark on Shirley, she couldn't help but freeze in her tracks when she saw the scene behind the opened door...

Although the silver-haired girl was wearing a thin sleeveless nightgown, she did not lie defenselessly on the bed as she expected. Instead, she sat quietly in front of a workbench not far away, holding her thin and weak body, carefully turning the terminal, and carefully browsing something on the light screen in front of her...

"Um?!"

After noticing something strange at the door, she was slightly startled and subconsciously covered her arms. But she came to her senses the next moment and quickly stood up. Her sharp but slightly haggard eyes instantly fell on Ji Zi, whose expression was stiff.

The dark circles under the eyes are quite obvious...

The scene became very awkward at one point.

The next moment, after recognizing that the person who broke into the door was Ji Zi, the panic in Shilis's eyes disappeared in an instant. She gently put down her terminal, tilted her head, and looked at Ji Zi in front of her with a subtle look, as if waiting for the other party to speak first.

It has to be said that the relationship between the two is somewhat awkward. They have met three times before, and each time they were on opposite sides, they would fight as soon as they met, which can be said to have caused a lot of grudges. However, due to the girl's unpredictable behavior, the two sides did not completely fight to the death...

(Doesn't this girl take a nap?! But if you don't take a nap... why did you change into pajamas!)

"..."

A little afraid to meet the gaze of the silver-haired girl in front of her, Jizi quickly hid the marker in her hand and the spare key behind her back. At the same time, her brain started to work rapidly, and she began to think about how to deal with the current situation...

Option A: Close the door and run away

Option B: Force her down and write on her

Option C: Play dumb and get away with it

.......

The two looked at each other for about ten seconds, and Ji Zi frowned slightly. At this time, she noticed that the girl's body was covered with terrible lavender scars, almost all over her body. At least on the exposed arms, there was no intact skin...

For some reason, after seeing this scene, the anger burning in Ji Zi's heart was like being poured with a bucket of cold water, and the resentment accumulated because of a certain experience also dissipated slightly.

(What on earth is this...? Oh, yes, she did say that she was once captured by the Destiny Headquarters and experimented on...)

Thinking of this, Jizi suddenly realized. Continuing to stare at the silver-haired girl in front of her, she suddenly realized that the girl's body was too thin. Compared with the other two Kianas, her breasts, which were only the size of a B cup, were too small, and her height seemed to be a little shorter than the other two...

"Um... what can I do for you, Ms. Muryota Himeko? If possible, please don't look at me like a monster. It's a little uncomfortable..."

324 explanation >>

Hearing the girl's indifferent voice, Ji Zi was stunned. The next moment, she raised her other free hand and scratched the back of her head, forcing an apologetic smile on her face.

"Ahahaha... Um, good afternoon, Ms. Shirley. I hope I didn't disturb you by visiting you unexpectedly. Hmm... I see you really didn't take a nap. No wonder you didn't lock the door at all. It opened easily with a slight push..."

Hearing Jizi's awkward and slightly nervous voice, Shilis frowned, but finally said nothing. She stood up with a smile and waved gently at Jizi.

"It's okay, Miss Wuliangta. I just didn't expect you to come to me so suddenly... Please come in. I can probably guess why you came to see me."

She looked at Jizi's left hand hidden behind her back with some concern, and frowned. With some ominous premonition, she pretended that she saw nothing and walked towards Jizi at the door with a normal expression.

"Just sit down and relax. Don't be so reserved. Theresa has accepted my proposal for cooperation. We are colleagues now, so there is no need for you to be so... nervous."

Hearing this, Jizi nodded, put her right hand in the pocket of her uniform, pretended to be calm and sat on another chair in the bedroom. After putting the things in her hand into her pocket, she sat up straight. However, what she didn't notice was that after the large marker was put into her pocket, her slightly narrow pocket was slightly propped up, and it looked like a round stick from the outside. When Shiris noticed this scene, the exhausted girl shuddered suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes were terrified and she clamped her legs together, and her fingers had already touched the alarm placed under the table...

"I'm sorry... Miss Shilis. This sudden visit may cause you some trouble, but I have something I want to confirm with you anyway. No matter what, please tell me..."

After brewing her emotions for a while, Jizi made her expression look as serious as possible. Seeing the thin body of the silver-haired girl, the indelible marks on her exposed skin, and her suddenly pitiful expression, she couldn't help but give up her original idea...

(It doesn’t matter… There’s no place to write on her body anyway… Well, I’ll let this matter go for now. Anyway, let’s first figure out what’s happening to my body…)

Jizi thought about it and took a deep breath. Just as she was about to ask the question that had puzzled her for a long time, Shilis on the other side spoke first in a panic. In the girl's flustered eyes, she no longer had the calmness she had at the beginning...

"alright

, don't worry so much... The word I carved on your chest can actually be erased. I did that to you just to avenge your stupid behavior at that time... If this incident has any serious impact on you, I can take the initiative to apologize, but please don't do anything excessive! I don't want our alliance to have unnecessary cracks because of this..."

Shirley said righteously. Hearing the girl's panicked and threatening words, Jizi's smiling expression froze on her face (black question mark face.jpg). She didn't quite understand what Miss Shirley thought she was doing here? Even if she guessed her plan, she wouldn't have such a big reaction, right?

"Wait a minute, Miss Hillis, is there any misunderstanding here...? Well, I admit that I did have some bad intentions at the beginning, but now I have..."

"Don't lie! What was that thing you just put in your pocket? Aren't you planning to use that thing to insult me ​​while I'm sleeping, in revenge for what I wrote to you before?! Miss Wuliangta Jizi, even if I don't feel pain, I absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing! If you want to challenge my bottom line, I don't mind showing you some color right now!"

Shilis raised her hand and pointed at Jizi's slightly bulging pocket with a red face. Following the girl's gaze, Jizi also saw her own bulging pocket and blushed. She immediately understood what the girl had misunderstood...

"Hey! What are you thinking about! This is just an ordinary marker, what on earth do you think it is?!"

As she spoke, Jizi hurriedly took out the things in her pocket and showed them to the silver-haired girl who looked wary.

"Look, it's just an ordinary pen. What you did did cause me a lot of trouble, but I won't do that kind of revenge with malicious intent..."

Seeing this, the panicked look in the silver-haired girl's eyes calmed down a little, but the next moment, when she saw the shiny key in Jizi's hand, her brows frowned and her expression became tense again.

"Wait! How did you get the key to my room? I remember that the spare key should be at the guard station, so why is it in your hand...? I told you, I clearly remembered to close the door, you really want to do something bad to me, right?! And you brought this oily marker with you, could it be...!"

Shilis took a step back. Excessive fatigue made her thinking slow. Looking at the marker in Jizi's hand, she couldn't think of other situations. This picture appeared in her mind...

The red-haired woman had a grim smile on her face, holding the struggling thin silver-haired girl tightly in her arms, mercilessly "destroying" the girl's already broken body... After it was over, the red-haired woman took out the marker pen that had become sticky with a satisfied look on her face, and drew a horizontal line on the slightly heaving belly of the silver-haired girl with dilated pupils...

Amid Ji Zi's dazed expression, Shirley pressed the alarm under the table, then quickly dodged and hid under the small desk, trembling and hugging her knees.

“Aiya!! Pervert! Get away from your nest right now! My life! My life…!”

"F**k! Shiris! What the hell are you doing?! I won't do anything. Please calm down first..."

·————————————·

Half an hour later, Jizi and Shilis sat face to face at the desk again. The silver-haired girl coughed twice in embarrassment, then spoke softly with some apology.

"Ahem... Sorry, I was just too tired and my mind is a little fuzzy. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Ms. Himeko."

"Ah... It's okay, it's okay. I shouldn't have disturbed Miss Shilis's rest. But, is it really okay now? Do you want to talk about today's matter later?"

"No need. I'm fine now... probably."

"Really......?"

Ji Zi asked with some concern, and thinking back to the girl's puzzled look just now, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Speaking of which, little girl, at such a young age, what kind of mess is in your head? I really don't know how Dr. Tesla, the anti-entropy, educated you..."

"Tsk... Don't look at me like this. I'm actually almost thirty years old this year. So, even if I know about that, it's not strange, right?"

Shilis retorted expressionlessly, patting her forehead lightly to focus her mind.

"Okay, I won't ask why you got the key to my room. Did you come to me today to find out about your body? Very good, then let me tell you the truth..."

With Healy

Si began to explain to Ji Zi the cause and effect of everything. The terminal she placed on the other side of the bed quietly popped up a small light screen...

"I accept your deal, Silis Kaslana, this is the address you are looking for, please don't forget our agreement - Iselin Levicius"

Below this string of text is a thumbnail of a map of East Asia. In a certain sea area near Shenzhou, several strings of smaller characters are marked next to several small dots...

"The Speculated Area of ​​the "Nine Netherworlds" Ruins..."

325 Before the Start

At noon in the Saint Freya dormitory, Ji Zi listened to Shirley telling the truth of the matter one by one, and gradually opened her mouth involuntarily, with astonishment that could not be concealed in her eyes...

Shilis talked about many things, including her origin, the innate "memories", and later her escape from the Destiny Organization with the help of researchers, her experience in Anti-Entropy... She talked about it in great detail, as if she was also reminiscing about these things in her narration. Jizi could notice that when she accidentally mentioned the names "Tesla" and "Kiana", she would always smile from the bottom of her heart.

Although what the girl said was not the part she wanted to know the most, Jizi did not interrupt Shirley's story. It must be said that Shirley's story also deeply attracted her. Jizi never thought that Shirley would be the clone of that person...

Moreover, in Shiris's opinion, telling her past experiences is by no means meaningless. Even though the two sides have formed an alliance, she is still a pseudo-hermssider who needs to be vigilant in the eyes of the Far East Branch's high-level officials. So, in order to make the alliance more solid, trust between each other is very important. After fully understanding the matter between herself and Anti-Entropy, Jizi will no longer doubt Anti-Entropy's motives...

·————————————·

"This kind of thing... I don't understand why you did that in the first place? Even if it was a misunderstanding, I really wanted to kill you without mercy at that time... But you..."

Jizi lowered her head, holding the collar of her clothes on her chest, with a slightly complicated look of confusion and puzzlement, as well as a hint of guilt. After the girl finally explained the incident of her encounter with her, Jizi's long-standing confusion was finally answered. Why did her physical condition suddenly improve, and why did she gain those strange special powers... It turned out that the girl had peeled off her own stigmata in order to save her from death and transferred them to her body!

"Shiris, I..."

"Stop~ Don't ask me about this anymore. I don't know what I was thinking at that time... Just think of it as a bonus for being a strong man. Even if you really wanted to kill me at that time, in my eyes at that time, it was just a fight like playing house... Well, I accidentally hurt a child while playing, so of course I have to find a way to make it up to him..."

Shirley said half-jokingly, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of what she had done at a certain time. Even if she were to make a choice now, whether to save Jizi who was accidentally injured by herself, she would probably be in the same dilemma...

Listening to Shirley's calm voice, Jizi pinched her fingers with a complicated expression. She did not doubt the truth of what the girl said. In fact, she had already guessed about this matter, but she had never had the opportunity to confirm it. Now, after hearing Shirley's explanation, she felt as if something was stuck in her heart.

"But...but we are strangers and even enemies. When we first met, I almost killed your friend by mistake, and then I caused you to be captured by Tianming...Why did you..."

"Okay, I didn't save you just to hear your thanks. In fact, I don't regret my choice. Even though that behavior was very incomprehensible and even a little stupid, at that time, I had made up my mind. Rather than obeying the will of that person, I would rather spontaneously protect you who are cherished by that person... Sorry, I said something inexplicable, but... Miss Himeko, you don't need to have too much psychological burden, just think of it as a responsibility imposed on you. Isn't there a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility..."

Interrupting Ji Zi's complicated voice, Shilis stretched slightly, and her expression completely relaxed from her previous seriousness.

"Besides, didn't I successfully retaliate against your previous offense against me? Look, I used the words of the Holy Fire Tailor on your chest. Pretty good, isn't it? Now, after knowing all this, if you still want to do something terrible to retaliate against me, that would be really bad..."

As she spoke, Shilis pretended to be scared and took two steps back, shrank her shoulders, and looked at Jizi in front of her with a timid expression. But Jizi still had no expression on her face. She was in no mood to joke with the girl at the moment.

After searching, the red-haired woman raised her head with a serious look in her eyes.

"Ms. Shilis, you helped me without any grudges and paid such a high price to save my life... I don't understand how an ordinary Valkyrie like me can be qualified to receive such a precious thing... Thanks to this stigma, I can basically see that your current physical condition seems to be not optimistic, right? Your body functions are disordered, your circulatory system is seriously out of balance, and your ability to suppress the Houkai energy in your body is also very limited... It is indeed because of the loss of the stigma, coupled with the fact that you were subjected to certain experiments, right?"

Looking at the thin body of the silver-haired girl, Ji Zi's eyes were full of seriousness. She exhaled slightly, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes.

"I am very grateful that you showed mercy to me at that time and even saved me, who was an enemy. I will always remember this favor in my heart, but now, please take back what belongs to you. Although it may be a bit ungrateful to say this, I already owe you a great favor, and I must not take your stigmata for myself again."

Jizi said seriously, stood up solemnly, bent down in front of the silver-haired girl, gently held up Shirley's hand, and placed her hand on her chest.

"You can feel that the source of that power is right here, right? Since you can transcribe your stigmata to me, you should be able to take it back, so..."

Jizi continued to speak, and her eyes seemed to fluctuate slightly, but soon, her eyes regained their composure, as if she had come to some realization. Jizi's tiny expression did not escape Shirley's eyes. But in response, Shirley just glanced at her lightly, then smiled and shook her head.

"That's what I originally planned, but unfortunately... With my current ability, I can only give the stigmata, but I can't take it away. If you want to return it, you can only hand it over to me after you have fully mastered the power of the stigmata."

Shilis said lightly, with a faint smile on her lips. In fact, she had no intention of getting back the stigmata. The erosion rate of Ji Zi's body was neutralized by Ji Xuanyuan's inherited stigmata, but this did not mean that her body had recovered. When she lost this stigmata, her condition would be worse than before...

Hearing this, Ji Zi frowned slightly. This situation where she was prepared but it didn't work at all was like punching cotton with all her strength, and her whole body felt uncomfortable.

"But I can't even sense its existence now... Is there no other way? Miss Shilis, please forgive me for being frank, but your current physical condition is definitely not optimistic. Although I don't know how you survived with a body temperature 10 degrees lower than that of a normal person, your current condition should be alleviated by this stigma..."

325 Before you start >>

Hearing Ji Zi's somewhat unwilling voice, Shilis couldn't help but frowned, with a hint of impatience in her eyes.

"Well, there is indeed another method... As long as the holder of the stigma dies, the stigma will become an extractable gene fragment. However, there is no need to discuss this method."

"..."

Looking at the silent Ji Zi with an indifferent expression, Shilis shook her head slightly, glanced at the wall clock, stretched hard, and restarted her dormant biochip.

The next moment, under the influence of the special electromagnetic waves emitted by the biochip, Shirley's mind became clear instantly. Under the stimulation of external objects, the brain eliminated the organism's own self-protection mechanism, and the previous feeling of fatigue completely disappeared. Within seconds, the body was adjusted to the current perfect state by the bioelectricity and external hormones controlled by the chip.

I don't know when it started, but when Shiris takes a lunch break, she just shuts down the highly-operating biochip temporarily to let the delicate electronic components cool down a bit. She then forces herself to deal with other things despite her tired body...

"Okay, the break is over... We have to go to the office in half an hour, so you'd better hurry up. As a teacher, being late will be looked down upon by students~"

Speaking to Jizi in her usual gentle and mature tone, Shirley, who had returned to normal, turned around, took her high-collared jacket from the hanger next to her, put it on herself skillfully, and raised her hand to slightly tidy up her messy long hair.

Watching Yi Ning about to say something out of the corner of her eye, Shilis sighed, raised her gloved right hand, and waved to stop Ji Zi from speaking.

"Okay, I told you this just to answer your doubts so that we won't be suspicious of each other in our future cooperation. Miss Jizi, you don't have to worry about this. My physical problem cannot be solved by a stigma. You don't need to worry about it. I have my own way to solve it. Moreover, rather than recovering a stigma that has more commemorative significance than practical significance, I decided to leave this stigma to someone who needs it more... Even if you haven't fully mastered it, the power you have now is no less than that of Miss Theresa, an S-level Valkyrie, isn't it?"

Satisfied with Ji Zi who had fallen silent again, Shi Lisi put on her gloves, picked up the terminal, and saw the map information displayed on it. She was stunned for a moment, then she put away her terminal thoughtfully. At this time, Ji Zi's solemn voice suddenly sounded behind her...

"I promise you, Miss Shilis! I will fully master the power of this stigmata, and return what belongs to you!"

Hearing Ji Zi's serious voice, the girl turned around with some concern, looking at the red-haired woman's serious eyes that didn't seem fake, she couldn't help but frowned, and then sighed softly.

"Tsk... well, the stigmata are on you anyway, it's your own business, do whatever you want! Really... you don't even want the stigmata that's given to you for free, what are you trying to do... why can't you just act like a philistine who got a bargain and pretend to be stupid and make a fortune... you're so stupid..."

The silver-haired girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and then she simply muttered in a low voice, not letting Jizi hear what she said. Although her face was full of dissatisfaction, at this moment, a hint of tenderness flashed in Shilis's slightly turned eyes...
