K424 of the Collapse World

Huhu——

The breeze swept through the seemingly busy streets. Outlaws carrying guns and rampaging were walking on the same street as ordinary people who were in a hurry and vigilant. There were all kinds of shops and entertainment venues everywhere; jeeps speeding on the road,

They are all equipped with tire spikes and protective measures surrounding the body of the car.

Here, a deadly gun conflict could break out at any time, and these people are always prepared for it.

The stalls on the street openly sold all kinds of banned drugs, and the counters of the shops were filled with fragments of Honkai creatures soaked in jars; children and women of different skin colors and races were locked in iron cages and placed directly on the roadside, like slaves in the old times, to be picked and sold by anyone. The shop owner played with a large-caliber revolver, and when he saw the customers coming, he walked up to them enthusiastically and introduced his products to the customers in a fluent dialect to confirm whether the other party was an outsider...

In this sin-filled area, there is no need to explain the purpose of their doing so.

The neatly arranged stalls and the vague sense of order, if you ignore the items sold on this commercial street, it is just like a large supermarket in an ordinary town or county, giving people a contradictory and strange sense of harmony.

She lifted the heavy chain connected to the collar with her small hands to relieve the weight on her neck. At the edge of the iron cage, a thin girl in a tattered black dress huddled in the crowd. Her shoulder-length hair was covered with dirt and dust, and her original color could no longer be seen. It was messy and scattered on her shoulders.

She lowered her head, letting all kinds of eyes outside the cage fall on her without reacting. Her pale blue pupils had lost focus and were completely empty.

Like many of her "companions", the horrific experiences that are unimaginable to ordinary people are enough to wear down her will and turn her into a walking corpse.

The trafficked people, including the girl, remained quiet. No one tried to resist or call for help. Their previous experiences had taught them that this was meaningless.

"Boss, I want to buy that girl."

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded beside the iron cage. The prisoners subconsciously raised their heads and saw a brown-haired white man in a suit and tie.

"Oh...! Sir, are you looking for a young girl? I have a lot of high-quality goods here..."

Hearing the man's standard European English, the boss' eyes rolled, and he immediately put the revolver back into the holster, walked forward with enthusiasm, and responded in broken English.

"No need, I've already picked it out, this is the one."

Interrupting the boss's sales pitch, the man pointed directly at the little girl sitting motionless in the cage, a hint of joy faintly revealed in his seemingly calm eyes.

"That's... okay, sir."

The boss shrugged, took out the key, opened the cage door, kicked away the prisoners in front of the girl, pulled the chain on the girl's collar, and dragged her out of the cage roughly.

"This is a rich girl captured from North America. Even though she looks a little dirty, she is definitely a top-notch beauty! So, the price might be a little..."

"How much."

The boss raised his eyebrows, but soon he showed a sly smile.

“Two million pesos!”

"..."

After hearing the boss's offer, the people watching secretly sighed. Even if it was to rip off a stranger, this guy was too greedy. In this city, people were not valuable. Two million pesos was more than enough to buy all the people in the cage...

"Oh, I just told you, the one you picked is our high-end product, so it's at least a little more expensive than the ordinary ones..."

The boss pretended to be serious and looked at the brown-haired man who didn't say a word. He was about to lower the price, but the man suddenly opened his briefcase, took out a card, swiped it a few times, and handed it to the boss with a smile.

"No problem, two million pesos, right? I'll pay you the equivalent of one hundred and seven thousand U.S. dollars, let's finish the deal quickly."

“This, this…”

"Any questions?"

"Ah! Sorry, I was distracted just now..."

I took the card with some doubt, and the boss took out a worn-out terminal and stuck the card on the sensor strip on the side of the terminal. The next moment, I looked at the $107456 on the screen and couldn't help but open my mouth wide.

Looking at the boss with a surprised face, the man sneered, the haze in his eyes flashed away, and then he turned to the girl who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"Child, what is your name?"

"..."

"Oh? Are you unable to speak, or..."

"..."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Faced with the little girl's silence, the brown-haired man quickly lost his patience, put away his hypocritical smile, and directly grabbed the chain of the collar and pulled the girl up.

"Boss, can I take her away?"

"Ah... well! Of course, she is already yours, dear sir."

The boss came to his senses and immediately bowed with a flattering smile. The man nodded, and then faced the various gazes of passers-by, turned around and left, pulling the girl with the chain.

"..."

Look

As he watched the man walk away, the flattery on the boss's face gradually faded, and the smile on the corner of his mouth turned cold.

"Cough-cough-"

He coughed twice, and the next moment, several armed gang members on the street met his eyes. Seeing each other's tacit eyes with sneers, the four gang members looked at the corner where the man disappeared, and followed him quietly.

I was just trying to give that stranger a good beating, but I ended up catching a big fish...

Looking at the one hundred thousand U.S. dollars deposited into the terminal, the boss couldn't help but smile.

There is no right or wrong, no good or evil, this is the law of survival in this city! Blame it on your own stupidity...

--puff!

Looking at the bloody blade that suddenly emerged from his chest, the boss' smile froze on his face.

What...what's going on? Why am I...

Before his frozen thoughts could resume functioning, the sharp blade that had pierced his chest was suddenly pulled out, and then the blade turned and cleanly cut off his right hand holding the terminal. The next moment, the face of a familiar gang member came into view, and he grabbed the bloody terminal with a grin, picked up his right hand that had fallen to the ground, and fled in the indifferent eyes of passers-by...

The boss fell beside the iron cage with his eyes wide open. A pool of blood gradually spread from under his body. Under the empty gaze of the prisoners, it seeped through the gaps in the base of the iron cage and overflowed into the cage.

Pedestrians went about their business as usual and vendors continued to hawk their wares. No one was moved by what had just happened.

Yes, as he himself said, this is the law of survival in this city and it is taken for granted.

......

In an inconspicuous dark alley on the street, a short figure in a tattered gray coat leaned against a dirty wall, looking at the two policemen who were collecting the body of his boss not far away, then shifted his gaze and looked towards the corner where the man and the gang members left.

A faint chuckle like a silver bell could be heard from under the hood of the ill-fitting coat.

--sough

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the alley, blowing the hood on the figure's head. At the moment when the hood was blown off, a small hand covered with purple-black burn scars gently pressed down the flying hood and covered it again.

The next moment, the short figure walked out of the alley and stepped into this false light.

569 Actions of the Honkai Side

"Do you know why I spent a lot of money to buy you?"

In a remote hotel on the edge of the city, the man stood at the window of the second-floor guest room. He glanced with disdain at several gang members who were looking for something outside, then turned his head and looked at the little girl he had bought.

"..."

As if she hadn't heard the man's voice, the little girl wearing the collar still stood there blankly, not even raising her head. The iron chain connected to the metal collar fell to the ground, leaving a trace of blood on the clean hotel floor.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't want to talk, just listen to me."

The man shrugged and walked straight towards the girl. He stopped in front of her and looked down at the dirty, skinny girl. The ecstasy in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"There is no doubt that you do have...! Ahem, sorry for losing your composure. Before that, let me introduce myself. My name is Jess Sifa, an employee of the Mikoyan Heavy Industry Design Bureau."

The man coughed and looked at the girl who still had no reaction. He was not angry but slowly paced around the girl.

"Okay, let's get back to the original topic. Do you know why I chose you?"

"..."

"Because you have this thing on you!"

Before he finished speaking, the man who had walked around behind the girl suddenly reached out, grabbed the clothes on the girl's back and pulled them hard!

blah-

The thin clothes were torn apart, and the girl's bony back was exposed to the air. At this time, the girl, who had always been like a puppet, finally reacted. She subconsciously grabbed the torn corners of the clothes and tried to pull them up, but the next moment, her weak body was pressed to the ground by the smiling man.

"That's right! I finally found it... this is it!"

Holding down the girl's twisting and struggling body with one hand, the man looked at the exposed skin on her back, his pupils shrank slightly, and the morbid smile on his face became more fanatical.

Three deep red marks in the shape of feathers were arranged in a vertical row, engraved on the girl's thin back skin like a brand.

"A natural stigma bearer... and a special stigma with such a complete structure, it's amazing!!"

The man shouted excitedly, and couldn't help but touch the soft skin under the crimson mark with his hands. The next moment, his eyes moved up, looking at the cold eyes on the girl's side face, and the crazy smile on his face slightly subsided.

“Hahaha… I’m sorry, you probably don’t know what’s engraved on your body, right? Otherwise, I’m afraid you would have cut me into pieces long ago.”

The man let go of her hand and stood up, allowing the girl to cover her body with clothes that looked like rags and look at him coldly.

"

Little girl, the existence of the stigma has been confirmed, so I will tell you directly. The Mikoyan Enterprises where I work is actually a branch of the Honkai Organization - World Serpent. And I am also a member of the World Serpent, under the command of Miss Jackal, the "follower". Hehe... Now you may not understand a little, but this is not a problem, you just need to know that you are important to us, that's enough. "

"Broken...broken?"

"Yes, that's right, they are the natural enemies of us humans, and you have the power to fight against those monsters!"

As a lower-level member of World Serpent, Jace was just an insignificant pawn in the organization. He should have spent his entire life as a secret agent in the darkness. But now, during this intelligence gathering mission in South America, an accidental discovery made him see a turning point in the future.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of the science of the collapse knows that the most powerful force for humans to fight against the collapse is the power crystallization engraved in human genes and passed down from generation to generation - the holy scars! The Destiny Organization has become the world's most powerful organization just by studying the artificial holy scar technology obtained from the holy scars. This shows how valuable the value of natural holy scars is to an organization that studies the collapse!

Now, the holder of the natural stigmata stood in front of him and became his property...

As long as he can properly utilize the value of this natural stigmata, he will definitely not continue to be a nobody! By using this little girl who has the stigmata but knows nothing about it, brainwashing her and turning her into a "daughter" who only obeys him, he will definitely be able to join the top of the World Serpent, and even become a dependent of the Lord!

Looking at the girl's blank eyes, the man sneered, took out a light electromagnetic gun from his briefcase, hooked the trigger ring, turned it skillfully with his fingertips, released the safety, and a tiny blue arc of electricity fluctuated at the muzzle.

"I have to deal with those greedy fools before I leave. But before that..."

Holding the electromagnetic gun with flashing arcs, the man walked towards the girl again, with a cruel smile on his slightly raised lips.

"What's going to happen next is not suitable for children to watch. Have a good sleep, little girl. When you wake up, we can have a good chat."

After adjusting the current output to a safe level, the man raised the electromagnetic gun and pointed the muzzle at the girl in front of him.

"Good night, my dear..."

puff--

Before the man could finish his words, a sudden chill on his spine froze his expression, and the hand holding the gun froze completely, and his whole body was nailed to the spot by the cold death.

The girl's pupils stopped flickering. She looked at the man in front of her with a stiff expression and tilted her head.

Tick ​​tock…

Scarlet liquid dripped down the man's back. As a bloody little hand gently broke open his stomach and stretched out, the man suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Before his dull expression turned into disbelief, a crimson flame rose up from the bloodstained slender little hand...

——Wow!

In an instant, the spreading flames completely surrounded the man's body. The blazing fire was very close to the girl, but strangely, she could not feel the slightest heat.

In less than a second, the man's burning flesh and bones were completely destroyed in the flames, leaving no ashes!

As the strong firelight faded, a short figure in a tattered coat replaced the man's previous position and quietly appeared in front of the girl.

"Hello."

A slightly hoarse girl's voice came from under the hood of the short figure. After casually greeting the girl, she raised her hands covered with burn scars and lifted the hood on her head.

"call......"

Under the hood is a tender and delicate little face, with wheat-colored skin and golden-red pupils, and long fiery red hair that falls softly on the shoulders. The height is basically the same as that of a 1.4-meter-tall girl, with aggressive eyes and a slightly wild temperament, like a ferocious young animal.

It seemed that she did not expect that the other party was also a young little girl. The girl with the collar opened her mouth, and her empty blue eyes began to fluctuate, revealing a hint of surprise.

"I need your help."

Ignoring the blue-eyed girl's surprise, the red-haired girl stated her purpose directly, then walked forward and grabbed the collar around the girl's neck.

The next moment, dazzling flames burst out again, and the heavy collar and chain vaporized directly under the extremely high temperature, but this horrific temperature at zero distance miraculously did not hurt the girl under the collar.

"You are......?"

Touching her own fluttery neck, the girl asked softly, her expression gradually changing from being dull.

"Me? Haha... My original name is not important. You just need to know that we will become a family from now on. That's enough."

"family?"
