K424 of the Collapse World

The girl waved to the researchers who occasionally passed by and greeted her, muttering to herself as she walked quickly towards her own lounge.

The girl's first impression of Dr. Weisen was extremely bad. Not to mention the square-framed glasses and the typical European-style thin face, which were indeed not a problem. However, the eerie temperament made the girl think of the physical tester she met when she was undergoing the Serenity Gem experiment in Tianming.

That's right, it was the perverted researcher who tied her to the lab table and repeatedly stabbed her spine with an electrode cone, looking like he was enjoying it. Although she had cut his throat a long time ago, the grass on his grave was probably half a meter high. However, these related memories have always been engraved in the girl's mind, and she can't forget them at all...

450 Relationship and Attitude >>

It must be said that in Hillis's opinion, Weisen and that pervert were really similar, so similar that she couldn't help but want to blow that guy's head off when they first met. However, she naturally couldn't do such a thing of taking human life based on her own feelings.

Although it is basically impossible for her to be eroded by Honkai again, if she indulges in her desire for killing too much, she will sooner or later become the Herrscher's Will.

"But does that guy...really respect Wendy like he says, or does he treat that kid as a guinea pig?"

Thinking of that hypocritical and disgusting man, Shirley couldn't help but frown. However, although she could take Wendy and the Desire Gem away from New Zealand, Shirley didn't want to hand Wendy over to Otto for training. Compared to "playing Tai Chi" with the bishop at the headquarters of the Destiny, it was still relatively comfortable here...

"Yoho~! Shirisi!"

When passing a corner, a female voice suddenly sounded, and a black shadow flashed out from behind the wall! Silis, who was lost in thought, was startled and subconsciously stopped. Her hands were already in a posture of collapsing mountains, but after seeing the figure in front of her clearly, she stopped her movements.

"Wow, as expected of an S-class Valkyrie, her battle instincts are really fast!"

"Ms. Caroline, can you please stop doing this kind of nonsense?

It's not a good idea for a Valkyrie who is used to being in combat mode to joke like this."

Helplessly looking at the careless woman in front of her, Shilis sighed and relaxed her stance. Little did she know that if she hadn't stopped, the woman in front of her would have turned into countless small cookies...

After all, Miss Caroline Ludwig, the head of the Oceania branch, was not a transformed Valkyrie. From a genetic point of view, she was just an ordinary person, and naturally could not take the punch of the Herrscher.

"Eh? You must be very tired after work, right? At this time, the effect of surprise can be maximized~!"

"What kind of surprise is it to scare people half to death? As the head of the entire Pacific branch, why are you coming to a small place like this instead of staying in Australia?"

Shilis folded her hands and looked at the middle-aged woman with brown curly hair. Although the woman's face was still pretty, there were already a lot of crow's feet at the corners of her eyes that could not be concealed.

For this kind of person who is nearly 50 years old but still as active as a young person, Shilis actually doesn't dislike it. After all, there is a person who is basically the same in Saint Freya. But it must be said that this Caroline branch director was a little too enthusiastic when receiving her...

"Ah... Can't I come over here to see you when I'm fine? My lovely Shilis-chan~ I haven't seen you for so long, come and give me a loving hug!"

As she was speaking, the woman suddenly opened her arms and rushed towards the girl. However, Shilis did not hesitate to move to the side, so that she missed and almost hit the exhaust window next to her.

"Please respect yourself, Ms. Caroline. Don't look at me like this, but I am actually a mother of two children. If there is nothing else, I will go back to rest."

Hillis made up a reason to refuse, since her age on her ID was 29. But what the girl didn't expect was that after hearing this, Minister Caroline showed an even more excited expression.

"Isn't that perfect?! Even if you aristocratic families get married early because of marriage alliances, you won't be over 40 years old now, right? The closer our ages are, the more fun it will be, right?"

"Not interested, go away."

"You're so cold... But you're even cuter with this expression! Hey, don't you really want to play a game with me? Don't think I'm a little old now, but when I was young... Hey! Wait, Shiris, don't leave so quickly~!"

"You have something to say."

The corners of Shilis' mouth twitched, and she stopped helplessly. She thought that this person was too shameless. There were many young and beautiful Valkyries in the Oceania branch, so why did he have to pester her, whom he had only known for a short time?

However, considering that she was the branch chief after all, Shirley was patient and wanted to listen to what she wanted to say.

"I'm here for Wendy's matter. I heard that you're going to take her away from here in a few days, right? So I thought, I might as well get all the formalities done as soon as possible to avoid a lot of trouble later... Speaking of which, the person in charge of little Wendy's experiment, the skeleton-like doctor, doesn't seem to want Wendy to leave..."

"Well... I can see that, so I want to take Wendy away as soon as possible. In the eyes of that research maniac, I'm afraid Wendy will only be treated as a test subject. From the child's usual timid behavior, it can be seen that she should not be living a good life..."

It was rare to see this woman showing a serious expression, so Shilis nodded and agreed. After hearing her words, Caroline suddenly took a step forward and looked at the silver-haired girl with a serious look again.

"Ms. Shilis, Wendy is a good girl. She was very good when she was a Valkyrie, so she was chosen as a vessel for the gem... Although you are only responsible for picking her up, I really hope that she can be treated well..."

"Don't worry, Wendy will stay by my side until she can fully master her own power. When that time comes, she will enter St. Freya's Academy. There, there are many people similar to her, and she will not be treated unfairly."

"St. Freya's Academy?"

"Well, the Far East Branch's St. Freya Academy. I can't reveal the details. You don't have to worry about Wendy's future situation. I will take responsibility for her... Also, how long do you want to hold my hand?"

Having said that, Hillary curled her lips, suddenly broke away from the woman's hands that had been holding her at some point, quickly took two steps back, looked at the embarrassed Caroline with disgust, and shook her head.

"Is that all I have to say? I'm happy to discuss Wendy's matter with you, but please don't take the opportunity to do something weird. My work hours for today have ended, and now it's time to rest. If you have anything else to do at work, please make an appointment in advance. Thank you."

"Why......!"

After that, without giving the woman a chance to speak, she turned around and walked quickly to the other side of the passage, her silver hair dancing slightly with her steps.

Looking at the girl's back gradually going away, he slowly put down his raised hand, and his expression gradually became intriguing...

"Sure enough, it's not that easy. Haha... It doesn't matter. Anyway, you can't tell what choice you will make when the time comes..."

451 No Way to Escape

Unlike the Helheim Research Institute at the headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven, this laboratory in New Zealand was not built in some hidden underground area, but was simply located in a military isolation zone on the coast.

Therefore, the view from the window is also very different. In the Tianming headquarters, the only way to relieve visual fatigue is to simulate the window view. Even in places with windows, all you can see is the endless sea of ​​clouds and the gray airspace behind the radiation isolation layer. But here, if you want, you can always see the blue sky and sea...

Only in this respect, Wendy felt that she was relatively lucky. At dusk, she still pushed her wheelchair to the window of the room as usual, and stared at the distant sky through the metal bars.

There was a hint of longing in her emerald dark green eyes.

From the moment the Desire Gem was implanted, she knew that her career as a Valkyrie was over. Obviously, the nerves in her legs were necrotic due to the erosion of Honkai energy, and the artificial stigmata on her body were forcibly stripped away due to the rejection reaction of the Herrscher Core. The Valkyrie's superhuman physique no longer existed. Now, her only mission is to live with the stable gem, under house arrest in the laboratory, and be a "container" for storing the Desire Gem...

Until a month ago, she thought so too.

At this moment, the sound of waves could hardly be heard in the calm sea in the distance, only the faint cries of seagulls could be heard, and the gradually setting sun was emitting an increasingly gentle and ruddy light. Such an environment would make people unconsciously lazy. Wendy closed her eyes slightly, facing the setting sun that was no longer so dazzling, and raised her hand forward, as if she wanted to catch the sun in her hands.

"Even now, can I fly freely like a bird? Lady Silis..."

As the girl moaned, strands of colorless fluid slowly emerged from her white palms, swirling along her fingers and rising... This was the power of the Herrscher of the Wind, a superpower that once only existed in her imagination. And now, this power was truly in her hands!

"With this power, I can become a Valkyrie again and return to the fighting unit, right...?"

Although she had not yet completely mastered it, this level of release was far from causing a rampage. If she wanted, she could always unleash a powerful hurricane like the one she had in the laboratory. However, that would inevitably bring her into closer contact with the core... However, Wendy was very clear about her control level and would never do anything irrational without safety guarantees.

"Well! You should have a good rest today and keep working hard in tomorrow's training! Soon, I will be able to..."

Carefully dissipating the energy in her hands, the girl stretched herself, pushed her wheelchair to the bedside of the room, and held on to the armrests with some difficulty, intending to take a nap before dinner.

——Didi

At this moment, the electronic door of the room suddenly made an unlocking sound.

"...?!"

The girl frowned slightly and stopped moving. Indeed, anyone in the laboratory could enter her room at will, but most researchers would be polite and knock on the door first, and only come in after getting her permission. And the only person who would open the door without saying a word like this would be...

"Dr. Wesson..."

Seeing the gloomy face behind the door, the girl shuddered and sat back in the wheelchair. The man who broke into the girl's room was still wearing the standard white coat for researchers, but this time he was wearing a chemical mask and accompanied by two fully armed Valkyrie guards. He walked directly towards Wendy and threw the toolbox in his hand casually on the bed next to him. He was about to say something, but frowned, turned around and waved his hand impatiently.

"Why are you hiding at the door? Come in! You just awakened a little ability, are you afraid that this girl will eat you?"

Hearing this, several researchers standing at the door walked in hesitantly. However, they did not seem to be afraid of Wendy, but intentionally or unintentionally cast their eyes on the two Valkyries with guns.

It's normal for ordinary people to be afraid of guns.

Even though she was a little nervous, Wendy soon realized that the shooting assist eyepieces of the two colleagues should be locked on her. What exactly did Dr. Weisen want to do by bringing armed guards to her room...

"Hands out!"

Without paying attention to the subordinates who were dawdling behind him, Weisen gave direct orders to the girl, took out a rubber band and an empty syringe from the tool box, then walked over, grabbed Wendy's left hand without saying a word, and began to tie the rubber band around her arm.

(Do you want to draw blood?)

Watching the man's movements,

Wendy did not resist and let Wesson tie the rubber band tightly around her arm and then forcefully pierce the needle into her skin.

"......"

The man's actions were not gentle at all, and he even skipped the basic disinfection. However, Wendy had long been accustomed to such treatment, and only frowned slightly. Rather than a trivial matter like having blood drawn, she was more concerned about why the doctor brought so many assistants with him? Since it was just a simple matter like drawing blood, he could do it himself...

Moreover, why did he bring two fully armed Valkyrie guards?

Could it be that he is afraid of himself...

Wendy kept guessing in her heart and looked at this thin and gloomy man with a hint of disgust secretly flashing in her eyes, but on the surface she remained meek, lowered her head slightly, and said nothing.

"Okay, that's enough blood samples, let's prepare for the next stage."

As he spoke, the low voice coming from the chemical mask was a little distorted, but the creepy feeling remained. The next moment, as the man took out another syringe from the box, Wendy instinctively felt a little scared when she saw the light yellow solution inside.

What was he trying to do? Was he trying to inject something into my body that made me feel uncomfortable just by looking at it?

"Wait a minute, Dr. Wesson!"

After seeing the man's actions, Wendy finally couldn't help but speak.

"Xi, didn't Lady Shilis say that she would not conduct any form of experiments on me in the future? But Dr. Weisen, what are you going to do..."

"Huh? You mean that Shiris? Hehe... Is it necessary to obey the orders of that little girl? Or do you think that the awakening of your power is really due to that girl?!"

The man showed a trace of disdain on his face. When he talked about Cialis, his tone was full of malice. He walked towards Wendy holding the reagent in his hand. In Wendy's horrified eyes, he slowly put the needle of the syringe towards her neck...

"do not want!"

However, he did not expect that this girl, who was as docile as a rabbit on weekdays, would suddenly scream and wave her hand to knock the syringe out of Weisen's hand!

——Dang

The glass syringe fell to the ground and was shattered as expected. With a crisp sound, the solution inside the syringe splashed everywhere. Seeing the girl who dared to resist him, Weisen was stunned for a moment, but the moment he reacted, the man's eyes suddenly widened!

"Bastard!"

A hard slap hit the girl's cheek. The thin arm looked surprisingly strong. Wendy fell off the wheelchair and fell to the ground. Weisen was still not satisfied. With an angry expression, he raised his foot and kicked the girl hard in the stomach.

"Damn you little bastard! You dare to resist me? Don't forget who provided your current shelter. Who do you think you are? The Herrscher? Haha... You are just a waste container. I can always find a lot of replacements!"

"..."

He stepped hard on the girl's legs, crushing them mercilessly. Wendy just curled up, gritted her teeth and endured, not saying anything extra.

Compared to being injected with something inexplicable, what is this level of abuse?

“Hu…Hu…Heh, but it seems that you are really afraid of that thing, little Wendy.”

The man took a few deep breaths, and suddenly revealed a strange smile, and his tone became gentle. Wendy immediately felt an ominous premonition. Sure enough, the man turned around and took out another reagent from the box that was exactly the same as before!

Looking at the girl's dazed and frightened expression, the man smiled with satisfaction.

"Do you know what this is, little Wendy?"

He walked over slowly, and suddenly stepped on Wendy's back, pushing the girl back to the ground.

"That old man Machi really has some real instincts. I spent several months trying to figure out the components of the HSN-B46 reagent he created, but in the end I only created a replica with similar effects... Let's call it HSN-B49 reagent. This stuff can neutralize the Honkai energy on the Valkyrie and erase the artificial stigmata. However, compared to Machi's perfect product, my replica is not as safe. Although it can also destroy Honkai energy, if it is used on the Valkyrie, it is more likely to kill her on the spot than to eliminate Honkai energy, haha..."

451 No Way to Escape >>

Looking at the light yellow solution in the syringe, Weisen pushed up his glasses, a rare intoxicated expression showing on his face.

"However, I am a genius to be able to imitate the reagents of such a big shot! How could I be helpless against a mere Desire Gem? Little boy, the awakening of your Desire Gem's ability is clearly my credit, but it was snatched away by that girl who fell from the sky. This kind of thing is absolutely intolerable!"

He retracted his foot, looked at the panicked girl lying on the ground, and gently waved to the subordinates behind him.

.

"Hold her down, don't let her move."

Following the man's order, several researchers stepped forward, grabbed Wendy's hands, and pressed her to the ground with her back facing up. Without the energy of the Herrscher Core and the power of the Valkyrie, she was just a paralyzed girl with no power at all. She could only let others manipulate her and could do nothing...

"No...no! Let me go! Please...no, take that thing away!"

Her struggles and screams were completely useless. She could only watch as Visen inserted the syringe into her carotid artery and slowly pushed it in...

"The potion that can dispel the Valkyrie's Houkai power can really work on a little monster like you, right? As long as a part of the Houkai energy in your body is neutralized, the stability of the energy will be temporarily disrupted. In this case, the active Houkai energy will fill... Oh! Is there a reaction so quickly?!"

“Ugh…Aaaaaaaah!!”

The next moment, amid the girl's screams, purple-red lines began to appear on her body, radiating outward from her spine, and soon spread all over her body, emitting a strange purple glow...

"Very good! The free-state Houkai energy that has turned into liquid has completely filled her spinal cord. Now is the time to extract this liquid Houkai energy. It is a very precious sample!"

Although her vision was blurry and her whole body was in pain, Wendy was very clear-headed. As Weisen's smiling voice pierced her ears, her clothes were suddenly torn open, and the girl suddenly felt the needle of another syringe piercing her spine.

“Ugh! Ugh uh uh uh…..!!”

Then, an unbearable pain attacked her whole body! The girl couldn't even scream, and only a dry howl came out of her throat...

The pure purple liquid was sucked into the needle and slowly filled the syringe. As the liquid collapse energy was extracted, the erosion lines on Wendy's body turned blood red! At this moment, the girl's consciousness finally became blurred, and a layer of blood covered her eyes.

(It hurts! It hurts so much... Why, why do you have to make me go through this...)

"Hehe~ Why did this happen? Isn't it your own fault?"

Suddenly, a clear voice resounded in her muddy mind. Wendy opened her eyes. There were no figures in white coats in front of her. There were only countless limbs torn apart by the hurricane. Blood was spread in the air like an abstract painting, and blood beads on the outer edge slowly fell down. Visen's head, which had been separated from his body, was flying upside down in the air, and his face was still filled with the joy of having just extracted fresh Houkai energy...
