K424 of the Collapse World

(…If I give up resistance like this, I won’t have to endure this loneliness and despair, and I can relax, right…?)

A voice deep in my brain has been forcing me to stop thinking, so just do it.

He began to let his consciousness fall into the abyss, gradually fading...

————!

With the sound of something breaking, a corner of the starry sky was suddenly torn apart!

"Why are you here again, a failed MLM salesman...get back here!"

A clear voice broke the space, and at the same time, the ethereal voice that captured people's consciousness completely disappeared.

Consciousness began to return, and his drowsy brain instantly became clear. He finally remembered his name, Keri Nosya...

At the same time, all the things that happened before came back to my mind.

(What’s wrong with me? Why is this happening… That’s right! It’s that crystal…)

"Hello...? Can you hear me? Your consciousness should still be here."

The heavenly voice sounded again, interrupting Kerry's thoughts. While he was puzzled, he was also curious about the mysterious voice that awakened him. It sounded like a girl's voice. It was sweet, but also carried the firmness of an adult.

The owner of this voice, just when he had given up completely, came like a god and brought him out of the abyss of despair. Chris began to desire to communicate with this girl.

"Who are you?"

034 Awakening

In the cabin, Elena held her breath, staring at the silver-haired girl who was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hand on Kerry's forehead, and felt her heart beating rapidly.

She didn't know what method Lan Feng would use to wake up Kerry, but she obviously didn't understand what Lan Feng was doing now, but that didn't mean she wouldn't feel nervous.

In Elena's eyes, Lan Feng is definitely not an ordinary person. What else she can do is something Elena cannot guess.

As time passed, Elena felt her heart in her throat and her back was covered in cold sweat.

(Will this be… troublesome? Please make sure it succeeds… Miss Lan Feng…)

——Bang bang bang!

"ah!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, which startled Elena! She ran over quickly and opened the door, and saw a strong-looking young man.

"You seem to be...Mr. Mike?"

Elena asked uncertainly. Although they lived in the same village, she had hardly ever communicated with the young man in front of her. She only knew that Mike was a top-notch hunter in this gathering place and often worked with the village leader North.

"Good afternoon...Elena."

Mike greeted Elena casually, but he seemed a little upset.

He was actually much older than 15-year-old Elena, so there was nothing wrong with calling her by her name.

"Mr. Mike, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Looking at the young man in front of her, Elena asked tentatively. She didn't quite understand why this young man, who was quite a stranger to her, suddenly came to visit her.

"Um... I heard that the girl who just came to the village yesterday... Lan Feng, is she living with you?"

“Ah…? That’s right…”

"Actually... I have something to do right now, and I want to see her... Is that okay?"

Mike's request made Elena a little flustered. Although she didn't know how Lan Feng treated Kerry, it was obvious that he could not be disturbed. Besides... the characteristics of Kerry that were corroded by Honkai must not be discovered!

"no!"

Thinking of this, Elena's expression became excited. She hurriedly stopped Mike who wanted to go in, and with Mike's puzzled expression, she pushed him out of the small wooden house.

"Elena, what are you doing? Why not? I just want to see Xiao Lanfeng, and I don't want to do anything else..."

Mike grumbled a little dissatisfied, but when he said the last sentence, his voice became noticeably quieter...

But Elena didn't notice this. She thought about it hurriedly and then answered Mike's question.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Mike, actually... Lan Feng is not convenient to see you right now..."

"Ah? Why? Did something happen to her?"

After listening to Elena's hesitant explanation, Mike asked again. For some reason, when he was free, he would always think of the silver-haired girl sleeping quietly. He himself didn't know why, but he couldn't help but care about the girl and make sure how she was doing...

After all, North did not tell him that Lan Feng's behavior that day was all fake. He still believed that Lan Feng was just a poor child who was abandoned.

Since I saved her, I have the obligation to take good care of her.

"This... is inconvenient, it's just inconvenient... How should I put it... She is doing something that cannot be disturbed..."

"Can't be disturbed...? Fine... You are her guardian now, so I'll listen to you."

Although he was still confused, Mike thought about it and gave up forcing the poor girl. She seemed to have some unspeakable secrets, but since she didn't want to tell him, there was no need to force her.

Anyway, she said we just need to wait a while, there is still plenty of time today and there is no need to rush.

"I'm sorry...Mr. Mike..."

"It's okay, just call me Mike."

After saying these words, the atmosphere between them became awkward...

"Oh, right! Elena. Did you know? Xiao Lanfeng was rescued by Mr. North and I."

Feeling the awkwardness of the situation, Mike began to tell Elena what happened after he met Lan Feng. Although Elena was a little surprised by this incident, she glanced at her wooden house intentionally or unintentionally.

(Ms. Lan Feng...when will the treatment be completed?)

In fact, a day ago, when Lan Feng was manipulating the Honkai energy in the little boy's body, he had a vague discovery.

When she transferred her Honkai energy into the boy's body, she seemed to hear a helpless cry of a child in her consciousness. It was as if the sound did not pass through her ears at all, but was transmitted directly to her soul.

Lan Feng confirmed that these voices were definitely not his hallucinations, but were actually coming from the boy's body.

It was as if... through Honkai energy, the brain waves were connected together, achieving communication in consciousness.

At that time, Lan Feng had consumed a lot of energy and could no longer maintain that state. But just now, she made a second attempt! And, obviously, what happened now confirmed her idea!

She could hear the boy's inner voice. Moreover, there was a familiar voice chattering beside her. It was the will of the collapse that she heard when she was infusing the collapse energy...

After sealing the turbulent Honkai energy again, Lan Feng tried to communicate with Kerry's consciousness, and succeeded!

"Who are you?"

Hearing Kerry's hesitant voice with a hint of excitement, Lan Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his consciousness had not completely dissipated.

"Me? You can call me Lan Feng. This is my name."

Kerry felt very excited when he heard Lan Feng's voice again. He had been lonely in this space for who knows how long, and suddenly he could communicate with other people, which made him extremely happy.

"Lan Feng...sister? Did you save me?"

"...Yeah. But the person who protected you at the beginning was your sister Elena, and she was the one who asked me to save you. She is the one you should be thankful to."

Lan Feng said this and added another sentence.

“Also, don’t call me

elder sister."

034 Awakening>>

After hearing what Lan Feng said, Kerry suddenly remembered that when he was about to lose consciousness, he seemed to vaguely see that everyone in the village looked at him viciously, and Elena ignored the glares of these people and hugged him tightly... Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked:

"Um, my sister... Is Elena okay?"

"Don't worry, those people didn't make things difficult for her."

After getting this answer, Kerry felt relieved.

"That's great...By the way! Thank you, Sister Lan Feng."

"I told you not to call me that... Never mind. In this respect, you two siblings are surprisingly similar..."

Lan Feng said helplessly. She suddenly realized that this little boy named Kerry was only about ten years old, but his mind was not childish at all...

Yes, children living in such an environment will definitely not be as willful and childish as the naughty children in the city. The cruel reality has already made them strong.

"Do you know what happened to you?"

"I have no idea."

The boy answered like this, and Lan Feng thought to himself that it was indeed true. For ordinary people, after experiencing such a thing, no one would be able to survive.

"Well, let me start from the beginning. You should know about the collapse...right?..."

"Um……"

Lan Feng didn't care whether the boy could understand or not, and told him everything about the damage done by Honkai. This might be cruel to him, but Lan Feng felt that it would be better for Kerry to know his own affairs.

“…Anyway, that’s it. I can’t eliminate the Honkai energy in your body, I can only control it temporarily. However, it seems that this method is not a long-term solution…”

When Lan Feng just connected with Kerry's spirit, he found that Kerry's consciousness was about to dissipate. If he was a step late, his body would be controlled by the will of collapse. At that time, even if his body was not transformed into a dead soldier, his behavior would be no different from that of a dead soldier.

At this point, Kerry fell silent. Lan Feng felt a little worried when he saw this.

"Kerry?"

"..."

"Are you okay? I'll find a way to help you. Don't give up like you just did!"

After getting no response, Lan Feng hurriedly said again that she regretted her decision a little bit. Seeing Kerry's mature performance, she told Kerry the truth. But now, she felt that she should have overestimated the boy's psychological quality.

After all, such things are like announcing a person's death sentence, but no one knows when it will come.

Lan Feng's somewhat anxious voice awakened the unconscious Kerry. He did feel a moment of despair just now, but he did not collapse. After all, as a child living in such a bad place, his willpower would not be too weak.

"You...why do you want to help me?"

In response to Lan Feng's words, he asked back in confusion. He didn't know this young lady with a nice voice, and Kerry didn't quite understand why she cared about him so much.

Lan Feng pondered in silence. She didn't know why she should try so hard to help a strange child.

...Is this the good morality of modern people? Lan Feng suddenly felt like laughing.

"Because... I just don't want to just stand by and watch an innocent child die in front of me."

Lan Feng casually answered Kerry's question and was no longer worried. Since this child could still ask him questions, he should be fine.

(Really? I worried for nothing...)

Lan Feng didn't know that his perfunctory answer was deeply remembered by the boy.

To Kerry, this girl named Lan Feng has unknowingly occupied an important place in his heart...

(Sister Lan Feng... is such a kind person...)

Kerry became more and more curious about what this little sister who saved him looked like.

"Sister Lan Feng, can I still... go back?"

Finally, he spoke out the issue that concerned him most. After being eroded by the Honkai, his consciousness had remained in this place, all alone, with no one to talk to, no one to accompany him, and his will was constantly declining.

He had had enough...

"Of course you can... The reason I came here today is to help you regain consciousness!"

Lan Feng said, and finally started his real plan.

She tried to mobilize the Houkai energy hidden in Keri's body. If the seal is not strong enough, then strengthen it further!

(What’s going on? What’s the source of this resistance…? Huh… I see, this space is causing trouble.)

Last time, Lan Feng did not notice the stigmata space-like thing created by the will of Honkai, and only thought that the resistance to manipulating Honkai was due to some kind of law, but now it seems that this is not the case.

(Your presence is an eyesore...disappear!)

Lan Feng began to unleash her own Honkai energy without regard for the consequences. She wanted to completely destroy the space created by the Honkai will!

Pure purple energy with irresistible

The power of resistance slowly seeps in from the gap in the starry sky...

Kerry looked at the world he was in with horror. The sky began to disintegrate and shatter, and the earth began to collapse. The entire space was gradually peeled away like a faded oil painting, revealing a chaos behind the void...

Kerry could feel that as long as he passed through this chaos, he could escape from this place!

He stretched out his fluorescent hands forward, trying to reach the distant space.
