K424 of the Collapse World

"What's the matter? What if... if Shiris-chan is willing to beep with me, I will just deal with it like this! Don't worry, most of the Valkyries here are my confidants. Even if Dr. Weisen wants to appeal, there is no way... "

"......"

The girl looked expressionlessly at the middle-aged woman, who had a face full of excitement and whose saliva was almost dripping, and slowly took out her terminal.

"I forgot to tell you that the terminals at the headquarters are equipped with a short-term automatic recording function. I have recorded your speech just now. I think it is necessary to report the inappropriate behavior of ministerial officials to the headquarters..."

"Oh! No no no... Please don't do that, Lady Shilis, I will be sent to the religious judgment of God... Uh! Nothing, please forget what I said just now! It was just a joke..."

"Inquisition? It seems like you have done a lot of strange things."

The corners of Shirley's eyes twitched as she looked at the middle-aged woman with a panicked face. When she said that just now, the Valkyries standing guard around did not react at all. Shirley felt that if she investigated further, she might find out a lot of things that were shocking.

"Well..."

"Okay, don't mention that anymore! By the way... I'm also a little curious, why did Dr. Wesson identify me as the murderer? Could it be that there is someone else in this laboratory who looks like me?"

The girl asked back, changing the subject. She still had that relaxed smile on her face. Even if she was not the attacker, she was still so nonchalant after being accused. She was really too calm. However, no matter what others thought, the only one who could make the decision was Caroline, the branch chief who currently had the highest power in the branch.

"We'll have to wait for further investigation to find out. After all, the laboratory was completely without power at the time, so any staff member could have committed the crime. Moreover, since the criminal is well aware of the location of the central laboratory and the operation of the energy configuration, he can basically be identified as a mid- to high-level employee of the laboratory."

After coming out of her strange state, Caroline analyzed it seriously. Shilis listened and nodded in agreement. Putting aside her slightly strange personality, it must be said that Caroline, the branch director, is indeed quite capable. However, these inferences alone are obviously not enough.

"That being said, there are several thousand staff members in this laboratory, and there are at least hundreds of mid-level and senior-level staff members. Isn't the scope a bit too large to search for the attacker?"

"Um......"

Hearing what Shiris said casually, Caroline frowned in distress. She was the head of the Destiny Branch, not a detective. Although she could pretend to analyze this inexplicable closed room attack case, she was powerless to make further inferences.

"It seems that we still have to rely on Dr. Weissen's testimony after he recovers to identify the murderer... However, looking at his attitude when he was rescued today, I don't think he will change his words later..."

455 The Interweaving of Powers >>

Caroline smiled bitterly and shook her head at the girl.

Shake your head. Although Shirley didn't seem to care about this matter, for Caroline, if she had to follow the rules and handle things impartially, her position would become very embarrassing.

"Ah! After thinking about it, it really feels so troublesome. My brain has short-circuited. Hey, Shilis-chan~! Just give me some of your x juice to replenish my brain~ I will definitely be able to find the most critical one..."

"Be more serious!"

Shirley couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the back of the wheelchair next to her, making a loud bang, which frightened Wendy in the wheelchair. The girl immediately looked at the innocent girl with tears in her eyes with an apologetic look, and her eyes looked at Caroline more and more unkindly.

"Sorry Wendy... Never mind. Anyway, I didn't do this. Believe it or not. I'll leave it to you to decide how to deal with it, Ms. Caroline. Just don't interfere with my work. I can cooperate with ordinary investigations. That's it~"

Finally, feeling that there was no point in continuing the discussion, Hillary simply left this sentence and turned to Wendy's wheelchair, grabbed the handle at the back, and prepared to push her away.

However, when she saw Caroline's eyes suddenly light up, she immediately had a bad feeling.

"Eh? Leave everything to me? Then... does it mean it's okay to imprison P-lay? Hehehe... Lock up Shiris-chan and let me interrogate her. I can beep you--(silenced)!, and I can beep--(silenced)! And finally..."

"I think we can discuss the report again. What do you think, Minister Caroline?"

"Uh! Sorry, Lady Shilis, I can't do anything! Well, let's just treat it as Dr. Wesson's sudden mental illness and self-harm..."

"It's up to you. It's raining again and I have nothing to do with it~"

Ignoring Caroline's nagging, Shirley pushed Wendy's wheelchair and left directly from the main entrance. Caroline obviously couldn't tell him any useful information, and it was meaningless to stay here any longer.

Watching the silver-haired girl's back disappear around the corner of the passage, Caroline stood in front of the pool of solidified blood and sighed with a distressed expression.

"It's really troublesome..."

"Minister Caroline, it seems that you really like Lady Shiris..."

After leaving the laboratory full of guard Valkyries, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of what had just happened, and turned around with a smile, looking at the silver-haired girl pushing the wheelchair behind her.

Wendy naturally didn't believe what Weisen said. Last night, Shirley stayed in her ward and didn't go anywhere. How could she attack Weisen?

"Don't bother me with this, Wendy. Has she always been like this?"

Thinking of Caroline's sure look, Shirley couldn't help but shudder. Perhaps, that woman was the only one in the Oceania branch that she was afraid of...

"Well... Lady Caroline is indeed overly enthusiastic sometimes. When I was still a Valkyrie, I often saw that lady being very close to the high-level Valkyries around her. She didn't have the dignity of a leader at all. But after I became an A-level Valkyrie, Lady Caroline noticed me and started to make advances towards me... Ah! Lady Shilis, please don't misunderstand. The so-called making advances was just a touch on the head or rubbing the face..."

"Oh? In other words, she is only interested in powerful Valkyries? This orientation is quite interesting."

"Well, today we met after a long absence, but Minister Caroline completely ignored me and just kept flirting with Lady Shilis. It seems that she is really fascinated by you this time. After all, you are the strongest S-class Valkyrie with destiny, and you look so cute..."

"..."

Following Wendy's words, Shirley's face suddenly turned pale. If this is true, I'll have to be careful with that minister in the future...

After the New Zealand Institute Director Weisen was attacked, the experimental team he was in charge of temporarily lost their work goals, and a depressing silence was maintained in the office of the laboratory.

Indeed, the director of the institute, who spoke in a sarcastic tone and had a bad personality, was not well-liked by everyone, but he was not hated by everyone. Now that such a terrible thing happened, these researchers were inevitably panicked...

"call......"

While everyone was doing their own work, the female researcher who was serving as an experimental assistant suddenly stood up, quickly and accurately threw the syringe of a metal syringe into the waste conveyor belt of the incinerator, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, when she turned around, she saw another woman sitting in the back seat and her brows couldn't help but frown.

"Hey! Christina, it's forbidden to bring cosmetics into the studio, right? And... Director

After something like that happened, you are still interested in putting on makeup?"

Following her somewhat unhappy voice, the young female researcher who was applying foundation on her face seemed to be startled, and the foundation stick in her hand fell to the ground. But the next moment, after she saw the identity of the person in front of her, her expression immediately relaxed.

"Oh, don't be so rigid, Ms. Maya. Although the rules are like that, there are no confidential instruments here. What does it matter?"

Hearing her nonchalant voice, Maya frowned even deeper. In everyone's impression, Christina was usually the timid type who would tremble in fear if her boss looked at her for a second. But now, her behavior was completely different from usual.

"The minister is not here now anyway, so is there any need to make such a fuss about such a small matter?"

After that, she stopped paying attention to the woman in front of her and continued to put on her makeup. Maya was a little embarrassed. Although she was just an assistant, she was one of the most experienced employees. Christina's behavior had caused her dissatisfaction.

However, looking at the heavy atmosphere in the office, Maya finally shook her head and turned away from Christina. But at this moment, accompanied by a strong scent of powder, a very low female voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"(Whispering) Ms. Maya, I haven't told anyone about you stealing reagents from the director's laboratory~"

"babble?!"

Maya's eyes widened and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Other people in the office looked over at her, and Maya quickly coughed and lowered her head to cover up her gaffe and returned to her work.

However, when she looked at Christina, there was a hint of astonishment and a hint of chill in her eyes...

Behind the half-open office door, the figure who was peeking inside turned and left, and a flash of silver passed through the crack of the door and disappeared in a flash.

456 The Fury of Revenge

During the morning working hours, the various partition corridors of the laboratory were no longer noisy as before, but the news of the attack on Director Weisen had already spread throughout the entire experimental base.

However, for most of the ordinary employees of this experimental base, Director Weisen was just a high-ranking leader. Many people had never even met him. Although the attack on people around them was a matter of concern, many people did not take it seriously. After the discussion, everyone did what they had to do. A large experimental base could not stop operating because of the director's affairs.

Medical area, intensive care unit...

The skinny middle-aged man was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling light with lifeless eyes, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. His upper body, except for his head, was tightly wrapped in bandages and fixed to both sides of the bed.

The infusion bottle was dripping slowly, with the needle fixed on his thigh.

Although the infusion needle is usually inserted on the back of the hand, Weisen doesn't even have a hand now, so there is naturally nothing he can do.

"call......"

He remained lying flat. Suddenly, a fly landed on the tip of his nose. The man frowned and immediately shook his head to drive it away. But at this time, the part of his nose that had just been touched by the fly felt a little itchy. The man frowned again and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to scratch it, but he could not feel the existence of his arm at all. He suddenly realized his current "human stick" state.

"f**k!"

He cursed angrily and tried to shake his head, trying to rub his face on the pillow to relieve the itch. However, in order to protect the wound, his upper body was completely fixed in a lying position. Unless his head could turn 180 degrees, his nose would naturally not be able to rub against the pillow when lying flat.

"Hello! Is anyone there? Damn...Ah!! Asshole!"

He couldn't get the pillow no matter what. The more he cared, the more his nose started to itch. At this moment, the fly that had just hovered on the ceiling for a moment returned to his side and buzzed in his ear. Suddenly, an unknown fire fermented in Weisen's heart. In his disabled state, he was already restless and anxious. Now, he felt like he was about to explode, and his hatred for a certain silver-haired girl intensified...

“f**k! f**k! I’m going to kill you! Aaaaaaaaah…!”

He roared and winked at his itchy nose, but the flies kept landing on his face, making his efforts futile...

At this time, the assistant who stayed near Weisen's ward rushed over after hearing the noise. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the man lying on the bed with a distorted expression, shouting and shaking his body wildly.

The woman was slightly startled, then hurried in. However, in Weisen's hopeful eyes, she did not go to the direction of the bed, but ran to the corner of the room and began to check the brain wave monitor displayed on the screen...

"Ah! Meryl...what are you doing?! Asshole, come and help me!"

"..."

Hear Weisen

The woman in the white coat frowned at the angry curse, and ignored the screaming Weisen. She carefully checked the wavelength displayed by the brain wave detection instrument. After she was completely sure that Weisen's mental parameters were normal, but he was just too excited, she turned around and walked slowly to the bedside. Looking at Weisen who was already exhausted and panting, she spoke softly.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Wesson?"

"Hoo...Hoo...Idiot! Hoo...Get it away!"

Weisen had completely lost his temper and could only hope that this stupid woman would help him drive away the flies.

"it?"

The woman tilted her head, puzzled. There was clearly no one in the room, but the director wanted to drive something away himself, and even used a pronoun like "it". Could it be that the doctor was really mentally ill and saw a ghost?

The research assistant thought silently, and walked towards the table again, intending to press the button on the table to call the attending physician. After seeing her action, Weisen suppressed his anger and took a deep breath.

"...Ms. Meryl, it was my fault for scolding you just now. I'm sorry. Please, just swat this fly away!"

Hearing this, the woman turned around and saw the black spot dangling around Weisen's head. Then she realized what was going on and took out a scalpel from the pocket of her white coat.

The next moment, Weisen only saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and the fly that was buzzing around just now became silent, and landed on his face, kicking its legs and feet, and the wings behind it had disappeared in the flash of the knife just now.

The corner of Weisen's eye twitched, and he shook his head hastily to get rid of the fly on his face. The woman reached out and pinched the fly, and threw it into the trash can in the ward. With her other hand, she held the scalpel, and flexibly turned it at her fingertips, just about to put it into her pocket. But after a little thought, she threw the scalpel that cut off the fly into the trash can.

"Anything else, Dr. Wesson?"

"Where's that little bitch from headquarters? She's the one who got me into this state. Did the minister put her in jail?"

"No, Minister Caroline said that you were in an abnormal mental state when you gave your testimony, so those accusations are temporarily invalid. Miss Hillis does not need to be held responsible for this at the moment."

"What did you say?!"

The man opened his eyes wide, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the woman with an indifferent expression. Then, he closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.

"Please help me contact Minister Caroline. I am mentally normal now. I will provide her with credible testimony. Bring them to me now!"

"I'm sorry, but the minister has issued an order saying that Dr. Wisen needs to have a good rest. No one is allowed to disturb your rest in the next week, and she will do the same."

"A week?! Are you kidding me? By the time a week has passed, that little bitch will have already run back to the headquarters with Wendy. Do we have to file a complaint with the higher-ups by then?"

Weisen shouted angrily, a strange feeling of frustration filled his heart. Before, when he suspected that Shirley had stolen his research results, he was secretly doing bad things, so when he wanted to attack Shirley at that time, he was still a little scared. But now, he was injured and disabled and had no place to complain, and he seemed to have really become a victim. Weisen seemed to feel that he had stood on the moral high ground at this moment. With this mentality, no matter what means he used to fight back, he would not have any psychological burden!

"Damn it! This is clearly bullying! They are all birds of a feather. That white-haired girl works at the headquarters. That bitch Caroline must have received benefits from her, so she made such a decision... Bastard!"

If Weisen still had his hands, he would have roared like this and slammed the table hard. But now, both of his arms were broken, and he lay miserably on the bed. If there was no strong anger on his face, he would really look like a victim bullied by his superiors.

456 The Fury of Revenge >>

"If that's the case, I suggest you keep your voice down, Dr. Weisen. Miss Hillis is staying in the ward of S-9, which is relatively close to U-zone where you are. If she really abused her power as you said, she will definitely not let you go after hearing this, right?"

"..."

Thinking of what happened in the laboratory that night, Weisen closed his mouth with a pale face. The scene of the devil-like figure calmly tearing his arm apart and squatting down to stop the bleeding for him was still lingering in his mind. Thinking of the heart-wrenching pain and fear, he felt terrified.

Although it looked a little strange, Weisen was sure that the figure was indeed a girl with silver hair and blue eyes, and there was no one with this appearance among the staff in the institute...

Moreover, only a Valkyrie can crush human bones so easily!

"Meryl! Help me, that white-haired...that Shilis must have done me a disservice by wanting to monopolize the fruits of the development of the Desire Gem. If she wants to harm me, you must

Protect me! "

"That being said... I am just a retired Valkyrie. If Miss Shilis still wants to attack you, do you really think that a jack of all trades like me can protect you?"

The female researcher, who was in her thirties, shook her head, her tone hinting at rejection. After a brief silence, Weisen's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"In that case...! Meryl, why don't we take the initiative? Since she wants to kill me, let's get her before she attacks again. This is considered self-defense, right? Meryl, you will definitely stand on my side, right?"

"...I've already said that I don't even have an artificial stigmata right now, so I'm definitely no match for Miss Shilis..."

"Idiot! If you can't do it openly, can't you do it secretly? Don't forget my latest research results. No matter how powerful a Valkyrie is, once she is hit by that thing, the Honkai energy will be dissolved and she will become an ordinary person like us!"

"..."

"Please! You are the only one I can rely on now, Meryl, please save me! Aren't Valkyries great warriors who protect the world? But that Shilis actually used her power to seek personal gain. Since you were also a glorious Valkyrie in the past, are you going to turn a blind eye to such an act that blasphemes your mission?"

"Okay... I get it."

After a brief thought, the woman nodded, and her originally dull eyes once again revealed the sharpness of a soldier.

"That's it! You're worthy of being the person I've chosen. By the way, Meryl, I remember there are still some military equipment left from the purchase some time ago? Help me prepare for the prosthetic surgery immediately! Although you are the one doing it, I can't just sit there and wait for death..."
