K424 of the Collapse World

At this moment, she saw something else in the boy's eyes, something that gave her a sense of security...

In the past, only North and her father could give her this feeling. But now, she found this feeling again from her brother who was five years younger than her!

If I were to describe it in words, I would probably say it is a sense of responsibility...

"Everyone in the village is in danger! Lan Feng is also missing... I have to go find them!"

(Was Kerry like this before?)

The young but powerful voice made Elena lower her head. Her lips trembled, but she finally said what she had been thinking for a long time.

"If this is your decision... I won't interfere. It seems that I have been wrong all along... Chris has grown up..."

Even as she spoke frankly, Elena's eyes flickered slightly and she gave Kerry a slight smile.

"So...if you want to do something, just do it. But promise me that you will be safe..."

"Ok!"

Kerry looked at Elena, who seemed relieved, and smiled. He suddenly felt fortunate that if he had not been infected with Honkai and had not gained the power he has now, what would he have done in this situation?

This ugly left arm brought him a lot of pain and trouble. But now, he felt that it was all worth it...

"Well... I'm leaving, sister. I've already dealt with all the assassins around here. Wait for me here. I will definitely come back safely!"

After saying these words, under Elena's lingering gaze, Kerry turned around resolutely and rushed out the door.

(Lan Feng… where are you…)

Watching Kerry's figure disappear into the night, Elena bit her lip, slowly slid down the wall, and collapsed on the ground.

"I'm sorry...Kerry...I lied to you..."

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes again. She sobbed and wiped her tears with her hands.

"I don't want you to take any risks at all...! I just want you to stay with me safely..."

Elena suppressed her heart-breaking worry and showed a sad smile on her face.

"But if this is what you want... even if I have to lie, I will let you do those things with peace of mind..."

"Zizi..."

Sitting on a tree branch with his legs casually stretched out, Fenrir looked at the communicator in his hand that kept emitting noise and sighed.

"Although the signal is very poor, it was obvious that we were able to contact each other before... So, did Bonnie fail...?"

芬

Lil muttered to himself, put away the communicator, and lowered his head to think for a while.

"Forget it...it looks like I still need to do it myself!"

Fenrir grabbed the branch and swung, then flexibly jumped onto a higher tree trunk with extremely skillful movements. She had spent countless years in the forest, and she was already accustomed to this level of exercise.

Fenrir stood on the top of the tree and looked into the distance. Where the sky met the horizon, he vaguely saw a glow of fire.

"Fire? Did something unexpected happen? It's definitely right here, but it's a bit far away... Let's fly over there!"

Thinking of this, Fenrir was about to release the small fighter from its quantized state, but his raised hand suddenly froze.

(Someone…?!)

His eyes narrowed, and Fenrir immediately held his breath and concentrated. He emptied his mind, squatted down, and hid himself among the leaves...

Not far away, a cloaked figure pushed aside the bushes, jumped over a rock blocking the road, and hurriedly walked towards the direction of the settlement...

Fenrir couldn't help but frown. It seemed that something unexpected had happened again...

(Who is he? Why at this moment... should we kill him?)

As Fenrir was thinking, he reached for the mechanical bow behind him...

"Huh... Hey~"

At this time, in the bushes behind the man, a little girl pushed aside the thorns blocking the way, climbed along the rocks with some effort, and followed the man.

After Fenrir saw the girl's appearance clearly, he was stunned...

(This...! A ten-year-old appearance... silver hair...)

Fenrir hurriedly pressed the button on her goggles, called up the photos Bonnie had sent her before, and gave the smart terminal an instruction for comparative analysis.

(Analyzing, please wait...Analysis completed, similarity 92%...)

Looking at the comparison results appearing on the electronic eyepiece, Fenrir's eyes widened suddenly, and even his breathing slowed down!

(Found it…!)

The sudden surprise made Fenrir extremely excited. However, she failed to notice that her sudden heavier breathing was picked up by the man's keen hearing.

"Who is there?!!"

Hearing this shout, Fenrir came back to his senses in shock. He lowered his head and looked in the direction of the sound. His cold gaze met that of the silver-haired man...

042 Fenrir

"who are you?"

Siegfried raised his head and looked solemnly at the girl in red squatting on the tree branch. He had sensed the reaction of the Honkai explosion in this direction before, so he rushed over here. In his hurry, he originally would not have noticed the girl hiding in the leaves, but she took the initiative to expose her aura for some reason, and he suddenly noticed it.

However, the girl obviously did not intend to answer Siegfried's question. Her body was tense, one hand holding the mechanical bow behind her, and her inorganic amber pupils stared at Siegfried. Although she did not make any other movements, Siegfried could feel the murderous aura on her.

(She is... a Valkyrie? A pursuer of destiny? This skill of hiding her aura... is she a Valkyrie from the assassination department...? But, why have I never heard of someone with such skills...?)

Siegfried thought about it and made a plan in his mind.

"Hehe... why are we so nervous? Relax, miss, what can I do for you?"

Siegfried calmly put his hands on his waist, secretly pulled the little girl behind him, and spoke in a relaxed tone. His body showed an extremely relaxed state, and there seemed to be no hostility at all.

(Since she chose to expose herself instead of attacking me… that means there should be room for negotiation…)

Siegfried thought so. He didn't want to fight with a Valkyrie whose strength was unknown but obviously very powerful. The gradually stronger Honkai wave in the distance made him a little uneasy, and he couldn't wait to confirm it.

"Oh? Sir, who are you?"

At this time, the girl with long red hair finally replied. She chuckled and gently lowered her arms that were holding the bow, and her tense body relaxed. It seemed that she also wanted to talk to Siegfried.

"Haha... You don't know me? This joke is not funny... Miss, I hope you can tell me the truth, what is your purpose?"

(She doesn’t recognize me? She must be pretending… Anyway, I must be her target…)

Siegfried avoided the girl's question without leaving a trace, but he asked again, but his face began to be anxious. In the distance, in addition to the collapse reaction that he had already noticed, there was another stronger reaction! Siegfried began to worry, did something unimaginable happen...

·————————————·

Looking at the girl's inorganic blue pupils, Fenrir confirmed his judgment. Although the girl's other eye seemed injured and was bandaged, but even so, there was still a 92% similarity, which was enough to prove that his target was the little girl in front of him!

However, Fenrir did not dare to take action immediately. When she looked down at the man wrapped in the cloak, for some reason, she had a vague feeling that this man was extremely dangerous!

She secretly increased her guard and confronted the man.

(This guy... must not be underestimated! A man with such strength, could he be a wandering mercenary from Russia? But... why did he take that girl away?)

Fenrir thought anxiously. She didn't know whether she should attack now or wait for the right opportunity...

But suddenly, she heard the man's voice.

"Hehe... why are we so nervous? Relax, miss, what can I do for you?"

From what the man said, he seemed to want to reconcile. Fenrir was also happy with this. If the problem could be solved without fighting, that would naturally be the best situation.

However, Fenrir also wanted to test this man.

"Oh? Sir, who are you?"

She asked this in a sweet voice, her tone playful but also a little charming. She wanted to make this man feel her kindness as much as possible, so as to facilitate the subsequent negotiations.

However, Fenrir didn't know that Siegfried was in a state of anxiety and had no time to listen to her voice carefully. He just extracted the main information and spoke again indifferently.

"You don't know me?..."

Hearing this question, Fenrir frowned. She was a little dissatisfied with the man's tone, but she didn't say much. Perhaps this was just the man's character. As long as it didn't affect the subsequent negotiations, Fenrir could still tolerate it.

(Huh…! Why does he think I know him? He seems to be an extremely arrogant guy, thinking that everyone knows him… How annoying.)

Fenrir despised the man in his heart, took a breath, adjusted his mentality, and spoke again.

"Sir...I didn't mean to offend you just now, please forgive me...I'm here for the girl behind you..."

"Oh? Haha...as expected."

Hearing the man's sneer, Fenrir frowned and continued speaking.

"I hope we can make a deal... Although I don't know what your relationship is with that girl, she is really important to me. As long as you hand her over to me, I can pay any amount..."

Fenrir said sincerely. In her impression, these wandering mercenaries did almost everything to complete commissions and earn money. So, as long as she gave him enough money, he would probably be able to...

"Asshole...what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, the man's suppressed angry voice interrupted Fenrir's thoughts. When she came to her senses, she saw the man's completely cold eyes.

"She's my daughter!"

"What……?!"

The man shouted loudly, pulling down his cloak, revealing the same silver hair as the girl. Fenrir froze in place, she never expected it to unfold like this.

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, your methods are getting stupider and stupider! Do you think that you can use money to offset what you have done?"

Siegfried's angry voice echoed in the forest, and Fenrir suddenly came back to his senses.

(Why does this person look familiar? No, let’s not talk about that for now. He is actually the father of that girl. And he mentioned Destiny? He doesn’t look very friendly. Could it be that he has an old grudge against Destiny? I see. He thought I was Destiny’s Valkyrie.)

"Wait...! Calm down, I'm not..."

Fenrir opened her mouth hurriedly, wanting to explain that she did not belong to Destiny, but suddenly she saw the gun that the man had pointed at her, and her pupils suddenly contracted!

--boom! !

The blazing energy bomb brought up a beam of light, shooting straight at the girl's forehead! If it hit, the powerful energy of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire could completely shatter her head!

But before that, Fenrir did a somersault backwards. The high-temperature beam flew across her flat chest, igniting the leaves in its path without causing any harm to Fenrir.

042 Fenrir>>

(You actually killed someone just because they didn't agree with you...! Asshole!)

Fenrir's anger also rose. The moment she flipped, a small metal rod appeared in her hand. Fenrir gently flicked it with her fingers, and the metal rod several centimeters long suddenly unfolded and turned into the shape of an arrow tail. Then, a lavender crystal quickly condensed at the top of it, forming the arrow body. The whole thing has formed an arrow!

Fenrir took the bow, loaded the arrow, and locked onto the target in the blink of an eye while in the air. Her face was unconsciously filled with fanatical fighting spirit, and she aimed at the man's head and released the arrow!

The arrow shot out and turned into a stream of purple light, flying towards the man with a sound of breaking wind...

--Snapped!

Following a slight sound, Fenrir's eyes widened...

The man quickly stretched out his other hand without a gun.

The man held the arrow firmly with his hand, and the arrow with great impact suddenly stopped, and was caught in the man's hand! At this time, the strong wind attached to the arrow came from behind, rustling the leaves around...

Landing lightly on the branch behind, Fenrir looked at the man holding the gun in one hand in astonishment.

(How is it possible?! He actually caught an arrow made of Houkai energy with his bare hands? What on earth is he…wait! What is that gun…?)

Suddenly, Fenrir noticed the weapon in the man's hand...

“Hey…! What’s in your hand… the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire?! Are you Siegfried Kaslana?!!”

Fenrir screamed in shock, and she realized how wrong her previous guess was...

Only people from the Kaslana family would dare to use their hands to block the Houkai matter like this.

"It seems... Otto really underestimated me. He sent out the Valkyrie just to retrieve her. He doesn't even know my information. Does he think I pose no threat?"

Siegfried said calmly, and with a sudden force in his hand, he crushed the Honkai crystal that had solidified into an arrow into pieces!

Listening to Siegfried's words, Fenrir recalled some of the news he had heard before, and suddenly remembered that within the Destiny Organization, the current head of Kaslana, Siegfried Kaslana, had defected from the Destiny Organization some time ago for unknown reasons. Fenrir didn't expect to meet this person here.

(That is... his daughter...? I have never heard of Siegfried's daughter... I have never heard of such news. In other words, her existence is a secret of the Destiny Organization...)

Thinking of this, excitement appeared on Fenrir's face again.

(Is this a human experiment? In other words... her ability is so strong that it has become a confidential matter of the Destiny Organization... With her genes, Lucia will definitely wake up...!)

Fenrir's expression gradually calmed down, but his eyes were burning with a raging fighting spirit.
