K424 of the Collapse World

Then, after seeing the situation in the room clearly, Diana's voice choked in her throat just like Theresa's just now. Seeing the two people in an ambiguous position on the bed in the lounge, she suddenly felt that her three views were like the exploding spear of the sub-space, shattered to the ground...

Question: After witnessing a strange relationship between my aunt and my sister, what should I do to avoid being silenced? Waiting online, urgent......

484 I Can't Be Her

Fifteen minutes later, Theresa, who had changed out of her translucent nightgown and put on her nun's uniform, sat upright on a chair in the lounge, looking expressionlessly at the two silver-haired girls opposite her.

The moment Diana entered the room, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face to hide the traces of her crying in front of her niece. Although she didn't know whether the girl saw her embarrassing scene, Theresa believed that someone would pretend not to see it even if he saw it for his own safety.

However, in order to prevent her from talking nonsense everywhere afterwards, she will need to be given some small "extracurricular tutoring" later.

"Um, Sister Shilis, just now you and my aunt... No, you and Theresa-chan were really just hugging each other after a long separation, and you weren't doing anything weird, right?"

Sitting next to Hillis nervously, the silver-haired girl named "Diana" fiddled with her hands, looking at Hillis next to her, smiling awkwardly. As Theresa expected, after seeing Theresa's gloomy expression, she never mentioned the girl's red eyes just now, but only carefully asked Hillis about the ambiguous posture of the two of them just now...

"this......"

"Yes, you are right, that's it. I just wanted to hug Shirley because I haven't seen her for a long time. I was so excited that I didn't change out of my pajamas because I was too anxious. We didn't do anything inappropriate, and I didn't cry, so don't ask any more questions about it, Diana."

Before Silis could answer, Theresa on the other side explained first. She rubbed her red eyes and sniffled from time to time while speaking. All this made the girl look more worried. But Theresa pretended that nothing happened, still maintaining her calm demeanor full of loopholes, trying to get away with it in front of Diana...

"There's no need to be like this, Theresa. Actually, Kiana... No, Diana also knows my identity, but I've been hiding it from you. I'm really sorry."

At this time, Silis, who couldn't stand it any longer, spoke directly and broke the window paper. Although Theresa had caught her off guard just now, this matter was no longer a secret in the small circle of Saint Freya. Rather than letting her get away with it now and make others worry, it would be better to speak clearly and solve the problem once and for all!

"You...you mean, I'm the only one who's been kept in the dark?"

Xili exposed the truth without hesitation, causing the girl to open her eyes wide in surprise. But the next moment, after a brief hesitation, she collapsed on the chair as if she had lost her strength, and asked Xilisi again.

Indeed, both Kiana and Diana are no longer children. Even if we discuss these things in front of them, it doesn't matter. But I, who had been mentally prepared, suddenly lost control of my emotions when I saw the silver-haired girl. I was really out of control...

"Um...I'm sorry about that."

Impersonating Cecilia was originally a lie to fool Tesla, but it spread inexplicably and gave her a headache for a long time. Shiris did not have any Cecilia genes, and her genes came from Kiana. It can even be said that she had no direct connection with Cecilia!

However, there was nothing she could do now. She could only downplay this identity as much as possible while verbally admitting it. So, when she met Siegfried and Theresa, who were close to Cecilia, she should try her best to conceal her identity. Although Siegfried managed to get away with it, it might not be that easy when facing Theresa, who had been with Cecilia for a longer time. If they were exposed, both she and Theresa would probably be in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Although these are trivial matters compared to the destruction of the world, Shilis still attaches great importance to the interpersonal relationships around her. Even if she has lied before, she does not want to be labeled as a small "liar" in the hearts of others.

So, now is the time

It's already obvious how to do it.

"But even so, I believe you have already discovered it, right? Even if I am a clone who inherits the memory, I am not the same person as the Cecilia you know. If you believe that I, the fake Cecilia, am Cecilia, it is equivalent to denying the Cecilia you know in your heart."

"I... that's not the case. I won't deny the Cecilia I know, but for you, I also...!"

"So, I chose to change my identity to meet you all, just like Diana. Although she also has some of Kiana's memories, they are undoubtedly two different individuals. It's the same for me. Whether I meet you as a cloned Cecilia or as Shilis, what's the difference in essence?"

Bringing out the words she had used to deal with Siegfried and Kiana, Shirley looked at Theresa who was lost in thought and clapped her hands with a smile. This confusing rhetoric had become more refined after being used many times.

"Well... it's exactly as Sister Shirley said. I know she has my mother's memories, but compared to Mother Cecilia, whom I have never met, I am more familiar with Sister Shirley. After all, they are the same person... Ah~! It's so complicated, but anyway, I agree with what Sister Shirley said."

Diana next to her agreed. She could basically understand what Hillis said, but she couldn't express her own point of view clearly. As a "fake", she could naturally understand the rationality of Hillis's decision.

"I know what you want to say. Originally, I just wanted to get to know you again as Cecilia, but that talkative Siegfried told you these useless things... Having a person's memory does not necessarily mean you have to become that person. I will not and cannot become the Cecilia you are familiar with. Now I am just Cecilia, do you understand? Theresa."

After saying this, Shilis stood up and waved to Diana beside her, indicating her to follow.

"I think it's best for everyone to maintain the status quo. Treating me as Cecilia will only make our relationship more confusing. By the way, Mr. Siegfried has accepted my reasons. I wonder what you think, Principal Theresa."

Besides, the real Cecilia has been resurrected, so he is certainly embarrassed to continue to use her identity.

Perhaps, next time she returns from the Destiny Headquarters, she will bring Miss Cecilia back to Saint Freya. Now, it is better not to get entangled with Theresa under this fake identity...

"..."

On the other side, Theresa bit her lip gently, still staring at Shilis who turned and walked out of the room, as if she was still unwilling to give up. But now, she couldn't think of how to make this girl change her mind.

(You keep saying that you are not Cecilia, but you are still the same...stubborn as before! Once you make a decision, you impose your "goodwill" on others. Before that, have you ever considered my thoughts...)

Of course, Theresa didn't know that the person she had been dreaming about had returned to the world under the power of creation of the Sixth Herrscher. But whether all this could develop as Shiris expected was still unknown.

"Hey... Um, Sister Silis, when did you come back? Why did you come to St. Freya Academy so suddenly..."

484 I Can't Be Her>>

Walking in the corridor outside the principal's office, Diana looked at the silver-haired figure walking in front of her and spoke to her awkwardly. Although she had already accepted Shirley as her sister, it was the first time for her to walk alone together after reconciliation. The girl began to regret why she didn't ask Kiana to come with her to see Shirley.

"Oh? Diana, you really don't know why I came back at this time?"

Shiris, who was slightly ahead, turned around slightly, looked at the silver-haired girl with a slightly red face, smiled, slowed down her pace, and walked side by side with her.

"Well, I..."

"I don't believe that you would forget your birthday. I guess Theresa went to such great lengths to come to Australia to pick me up. She must have been instigated by you two girls, right?"

“Hey hey hey…”

The exposed silver-haired girl was speechless and smiled shyly. Thinking of the time when Siegfried celebrated her birthday, the girl was about to say something, but Shirley's next words made her open her eyes wide.

"But strictly speaking, your birthday should be the same as mine, right? We are both K-series experimental subjects of the Destiny Organization. You, numbered K423, woke up one day later than I, numbered K424. As far as I remember, that time should be April 2009, 4, right?"

"Eh?"

"So, December 7th is only Kiana's birthday? Diana,

How about leaving it until April 4th of next year?"

"wait......!"

Shilis asked with a smile, watching the girl's expression quickly change from expectation to astonishment, and then quickly to panic and helplessness. However, before the girl could speak, she quickly changed the subject, softened her tone, and revealed a sly expression.

"Just kidding. Actually, I have discussed this with Siegfried and Theresa a long time ago. We have unanimously decided to put your birthdays on December 12th. However, I just wanted to see if you were willing to put your birthday on the original date, but it seems that there is no need to change it."

"..."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she took a deep breath. This feeling of ups and downs was really too much for her little heart to bear.

Although changing the date of birthday is not something unacceptable, if it is suddenly changed just before the birthday, it will seem as if all the previous expectations and joy have been wasted, and the resulting sense of disappointment is really hard to accept.

“Huha… Ugh~! That’s too much, Sis Shilis, are you kidding me? You must be kidding me, right? How can you be like this! This is not fun at all!”

As her heartbeat slowed down, the girl puffed up her cheeks, rushed forward and pulled at the hem of Shirley's clothes to complain, but rather than expressing a bad mood or dissatisfaction, her tone and actions actually sounded more like she was acting like a spoiled child.

Shirley calmly dodged the girl's fist and quickened her pace to continue moving forward, while Diana followed closely behind her. Sure enough, compared to her shy and reserved attitude just now, this was how she should be...

"Diana... Tsk, Siegfried and Theresa really have no creativity at all. They actually changed the pseudonym used by Kiana into your name. But it sounds pretty good. The goddess of the moon and oak forest in Roman mythology seems to be able to be transliterated in this way."

"Don't try to change the subject, Sister Shilis...!"

"But then again, why are you the only one here? Where are the others? Also, Wendy should have told you about Theresa's matter, so where did she go?"

"Sirius continued to ask, nimbly dodged Diana's grab and grabbed the ferocious girl from behind, forcing her to calm down.

Diana struggled a little, but found that her strength was completely beyond the control of Shirley, so she gave up her playful resistance, collapsed completely, and leaned her body on Shirley.

"Hmm...! Huh~ Huh... Miss Wendy, it seems, left with Elena. As for why I came alone, it's because everyone is in class now! I'm the only one who skipped class to come and greet you. Aren't you touched, Sister Shiris?"

"..."

So, this girl skipped class with this excuse, and even Theresa didn't realize it just now?

but......

Shirley smiled slyly. If I tell this to others when I meet up with Himeko later, something interesting will probably happen, right?

me company, underground laboratory c area......

A young man wearing the uniform of an employee of ME Company stood in the metal passage, rubbing his hands nervously.

After becoming an employee of Anti-Entropy, this was the first time he was summoned by his superiors. However, the young man could basically guess why he received this special treatment. It would be strange if his obvious violation of the rules in area C-11-R was not discovered...

"Come in, No. 0047."

As a clear voice suddenly sounded behind the door, the young man's body trembled. He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the metal electronic door in front.

That's right, his number is n412t0047. Although he has his own name, the lower-level employees of the Anti-Entropy Organization seem to be called by numbers.

When he arrived at the door, the electronic door opened automatically, and the room that looked like an office came into his sight. Then, he saw the thin figure sitting behind the desk.

"Uh......"

After seeing the figure sitting in the office, the young man who was about to shout "report" was stunned.

It was a young man with long hair, wearing a special combat uniform with a slim fit, a long glove of unknown material on his left hand, and an anti-entropy officer's coat on the outside; his waist-length blue hair was neatly tied behind his back, with fair skin and delicate features, and a hint of childishness on his cheeks. Judging from his age, he didn't seem much older than me...

Is that the high-ranking executive of ME Company?

How could he be... so young?

This was completely beyond the young man's expectations. He had thought that a two-meter-tall strong man would be waiting for him and would scold him the moment he entered the door, but he didn't expect that

It would be a young man who is about the same age as me...

Moreover, is this executive officer a man or a woman? Although she has waist-length hair and a beautiful appearance, her clear voice with a hint of magnetism and her heroic spirit made the young man confused for a moment, not knowing whether to address the officer in front of him as "Mr." or "Ms."

Looking at the hesitant young man, the blue-haired young man in the room smiled kindly.

"Relax, don't be so nervous. You are the worker who inspected the C-11-R area alone yesterday, right? Come in, I just have a few simple questions to ask you. My name is Kerry Nosia, the temporary head of the experimental area security station. What's your name?"

485 Selfish Struggle

"Yes, Mr. Kerry... My name is Suzuki Fumi, one of the equipment inspectors of Area C-11. I wonder why you summoned me here?"

Suzuki Fumi, this is the name of the young man. As a native of Changkong City, it is normal for him to have such an ordinary name. After his hometown was destroyed by the third collapse, he joined the me company out of helplessness. There are many people like him in the new me company...

Although the appearance of the blue-haired young man in front of him was somewhat confusing, based on his flat chest, he finally confirmed that the gender of this Kree executive should be male.

However, Suzuki was more concerned about the blue-haired young man's excessively young age than his gender-ambiguous appearance. A young man of the same age as himself had actually become a department executive of an armed organization. People like him must have lived in two different worlds from the very beginning...

He thought silently, not realizing that his eyes were still fixed on Kerry's face. But the latter didn't care about these little things. Looking at Suzuki's thoughtful expression, he clapped his hands gently to wake the young man up.

"Sit down, I know what you're thinking. 'How can such a young guy become an executive officer?' Right? But it's normal to say that. I'm only sixteen years old this year, a real underage kid. Since I was transferred from the combat unit, I don't have any real power, so don't be so nervous, just treat me as your peer."

Sixteen... one year younger than me...

Hearing this, the young man was completely stunned. He nodded blankly and sat on the chair opposite according to Kerry's instructions. Suzuki could see that Kerry's young face had a majestic and murderous temperament like a soldier. Although his face was calm and friendly at the moment, it still caused a sense of oppression to him. Facing this peer who was a superior, Suzuki suddenly felt a sense of inferiority and could not help but lower his head slightly.

"Yes, Mr. Kerry."

After joining the ME company, Suzuki was taught some knowledge about the Honkai phenomenon. Now he can basically conclude that this executive officer Kerry is probably an "outsider" born in the Honkai outbreak area. In some marginal areas of Africa, Russia and western Asia, there is no protection from the Honkai anti-organization, and they can only fight the Honkai with their own strength. It is also for this reason that young soldiers with rich combat experience often appear in these areas. This Mr. Kerry is probably such a person?

Perhaps because of Kerry's kind attitude, Suzuki was no longer nervous about yesterday's violation, and gradually relaxed, and even began to think wildly. However, with Kerry's next words, his heart, which had just calmed down, was in suspense again...

"Okay, Mr. Suzuki. In order not to delay everyone's work time, I will get straight to the point. I called you here this time to investigate the violations of the N412 group in yesterday's work."

"..."

The young man's eyes fixed, and his heartbeat began to speed up again. After Kerry's reminder, he once again remembered the scene when he faced the Red Wolf Girl yesterday. The other party's magical voice and the string of seductive words made him fall into deep thought again for a while.

"Ahem...Mr. Suzuki, regarding the violation last night, do you admit that this is true?"

"Ah...! Yes, I admit... I communicated with the R-class containment target without permission..."

After Kerry's repeated questioning, the young man came back to his senses and stammered in response. Thinking of the characters that the girl showed him on the glass, he couldn't help but turn away his slightly fluctuating gaze. He didn't know whether he should tell this officer this information...

As a victim of the Honkai disaster, it seems that there is no need to consider which side to choose between the anti-Honkai organization and the Honkai. However, in the face of collective interests and personal interests, human nature often cannot stand the test. Especially for the oppressed minority, the collective that makes them suffer unfair treatment does not seem so precious.

(Besides, I didn’t join Anti-Entropy to become a lowly inspector...!)

Hearing this, Kerry nodded slightly and

He turned on the terminal screen on the table and called up the video footage captured by the monitor the night before. Looking at the red-haired girl with wolf ears on the screen, Kerry seemed to be slightly absent-minded, but soon he reacted and turned the video to the part where Suzuki and the girl with wolf ears came into direct contact.

"Regarding the content of your conversation with Fenrir, we have confirmed the relevant audio files. Although your communication with her did not comply with the regulations, the content of your conversation did not constitute a serious violation. After her words angered you, you just replied, 'Shut up.' Is that right?"

"Um......"

He nodded gently, lowering his head as much as possible to hide the growing tremor in his eyes. Fortunately, Kerry's attention was mostly on the image on the screen, and he didn't pay much attention to the young man's strange expression.

"Okay... Although what you said is not wrong, the best way is to ignore her. That girl is very scheming, it's best not to be influenced by her words. But... Alas."

When he said this, Kerry's eyes were a little complicated. He still didn't know how to face Fenrir at this moment.

"Okay, although there are still some doubts here, I will go to Fenrir to confirm this matter. In addition, there is another matter to deal with here."

As Kerry spoke, he closed the video playing on the terminal screen and called up another file.

"According to organizational regulations, the inspection of the district-level containment isolation room is generally completed by the cooperation of a team. But in the work records of the C-11 area yesterday, all the work was done by you alone, and the record of the previous work also showed that you were alone. Although those works were completed by Haohao, I shouldn't ask about this matter... But Mr. Suzuki, I still want to know why your team members didn't work with you?"

"I......"

"Perhaps I should ask this, is it your wish to take on all the work in the team by yourself?"

"......no!"

Of course not! If it wasn't for being forced, who would take on all the work for those guys that they hated so much? While I was checking the equipment one by one, those scum were still leisurely smoking, drinking, and playing cards, making the entire lounge full of smoke and miasma...
