K424 of the Collapse World

Following the reminder from the Herrscher of the Heart, Chloe's voice suddenly stopped and he froze in place.

"You mean, that guy is...!"

"It's just speculation, don't be so nervous. After all... she could just be an ignorant fool who wants to kill a god with her ant body. Of course, if she is really that kind of person, we don't need to waste our breath here."

Lindy shook her head, and a shadow covered her blue eyes as deep as the starry sky.

"In short, the solution is very simple. Just don't let her find us too quickly... As for those lower-level followers, hehe~ Just let her kill them. The purpose of cannon fodder is to delay and consume the enemy. Anyway, substitutes can be found everywhere."

"But Luminas..."

"Oh? If you like that child, you can keep her as a pet. Although, I personally don't recommend you to do so."

"No need, Luminas has her own decision to make... She shouldn't be placed next to me as a vase, it's okay."

As he spoke, Chloe lowered his head to hide his slightly fluctuating eyes.

But soon, another thing Lindy brought up caught her attention again.

"Speaking of which, Chloe, don't you find it strange? The Tenth Herrscher has gradually begun to awaken, so why is the Ninth Herrscher, the previous sequence, still silent?"

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true... The Herrscher of the Stone should have appeared earlier than the Herrscher of the Rule. Could it be that something went wrong that caused her to be delayed?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Based on some abnormal energy distortions and signs of crustal movement, I think the Herrscher of Rock has probably already arrived."

"Then why hasn't she joined us yet? Could it be that..."

"No, there is no trace of her activities in those anti-Honkai organizations. If I am right, the Herrscher has not betrayed Honkai yet, but... "

Lindy said, her smile becoming intriguing.

"Maybe that girl has her own plans."

"This is the Third Special Service Team

Team, number u40113s7, requesting connection."

"Authentication information passed, terminal connection allowed. Um... Second-class executive officer, Ms. Asakura Miyuki, right? This happened suddenly, please take the team members to entrance number three and return to the base."

"Ok, I see."

......

"Mr. Executive, please cooperate with us in accepting the EEG examination."

"Well, come on."

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

Asakura Miyuki sat on a chair and let the staff put the helmet-shaped detector on her head. No one noticed that at the moment the detector came into contact with her, as the girl's eyes focused, an arc of electricity quickly flashed across the electrode, injecting a trace of energy into the instrument.

"Test completed, no abnormal areas found. But Ms. Executive, your brain waves are a little disordered. You must rest and not overwork yourself."

"Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it."

Asakura Miyuki took off her helmet, and a sweet smile appeared on her innocent face. The next moment, the cat ears that were flattened by the helmet suddenly stood up again and shook lightly.

Seeing this scene, the ME staff couldn't help but smile knowingly. The drowsiness brought by the complicated work was dispelled a lot. Some younger inspectors even wanted to touch the pair of furry pointed ears.

Of course, they didn't dare to do that. The cute and polite cat-eared girl in front of them was the second-class executive officer of the special forces of the ME company. Her authority in the entire Anti-Entropy Organization was probably in the top five levels of the pyramid. Although it was not too high, it was also a big shot that the grassroots personnel could never afford to offend.

Asakura Miyuki simply tidied her hair, then stood up and leaned against the metal wall on one side of the cabin, as if she had no intention of leaving immediately.

"Ms. Asakura, your inspection is over. All you need to do next is to go to the commissioning center and register your task according to the usual procedures."

"Yes, but I want to wait for my teammates. After their inspection is finished, I will go to register with everyone... Is that okay?"

Looking at the girl's pleading expression, the person in charge hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Of course, Miss Executive. Let me see, you can sit in that chair over there..."

"No need. It's against the rules for me to stay here. I won't cause any trouble to you. Just let me stand here."

Declining the kindness of the person in charge, Asakura Miyuki leaned against the wall, watching the inspectors' work quietly with a calm and elegant smile.

Of course, no one would know that inside the metal wall the girl was leaning against was the core cable of the detector...

608 Wrong Decision

As expected, all members of the combat team who returned to the base after completing the mission successfully passed the EEG test. Following the figure of Asakura Miyuki, they entered the interior of the me base.

"This way, please, Mr. Executive."

"Well, you've worked hard too!"

"Wait a minute, Ms. Asakura, your communications department has been relocated to Area R. You should go there via the Commission Center."

"Huh? Oh...thank you!"

"Miyuki, come and have a drink with us at the bar?"

"Haha... Sorry, Mr. Mike, I'm not yet an adult..."

"..."

Before Asakura Miyuki left last time, there must have been many more checkpoints and patrols in the internal passages of the base. Facing the greetings of these colleagues, she responded politely one by one, as enthusiastic and cheerful as everyone remembered.

The journey to the outer security zone was not long. After leaving the range of several checkpoints, the warm smile on the cat-eared girl's face quickly faded. She shook her head vigorously, and as the slight throbbing in her heart was forcibly suppressed, her eyes with complex emotions also turned cold.

"Miyuki-sama?"

"Phew...don't worry, I'm fine."

Faced with the concern of her subordinates, the girl covered her chest and shook her head gently.

"Just a little... gross."

When she greeted her colleagues, it was supposed to be a disguised show, and Asakura Miyuki herself thought so at first. However, when she looked at those familiar people, she felt joy from the bottom of her heart...

Why is this happening? Yes, she has lived with these guys day and night for many years, but that was only because her memory was erased by humans and she was forced to become a slave of the law-binding ruler. These seemingly kind people only use her as a tool, but why does she feel this way when facing these deceivers?

(Could it be that Lady Lindy is hiding something... No, that's impossible. They went through so much trouble to rescue me, how could I doubt my own master...)

Looking at these worried subordinates, Asakura Miyuki snorted. Although these Valkyries did turn against the Herrscher of the Heart because of his brainwashing, she was a Pseudo-Herscher who had been loyal to Honkai since the beginning. How could she be the same as these guys?

"Humph, it seems that the brainwashing those guys did to me still retains some effect... But it doesn't matter, I know who I am loyal to."

Asakura Miyuki said in a deep voice, the faces of the Valkyries reflected in her cold vertical pupils.

"Okay, from now on, act according to the plan..."

Gently pushing open the half-open metal door, a slender figure stood on tiptoe, hiding her body in the shadows, and walked silently into Studio 04 of the Communications Department.

Not far away, a gray-haired girl with twin ponytails sat in front of the terminal. The data on the terminal screen kept flashing, reflected in her slightly tired silver-gray eyes.

The girl was concentrating on processing the communication documents and was unaware of the dark shadow slowly approaching from behind.

Five steps... Four steps... Three steps...

The shadow blocked the light from the ceiling. The gray-haired girl seemed to sense something, but before she could take any action, the shadow behind her had already reached out to her neck...

"...?!"

"Sister Bronya, it's past the end of the get off work day."

A gentle girl's voice sounded in her ears, and Bronya's tense body relaxed. Looking at the blue-haired girl with her arms around her neck, she sighed helplessly.

"Phew...you scared me, Xi'er."

"Hehe~ Who asked Sister Bronya to work overtime here again? It's lunch time now."

Hearing the blue-haired girl's unusual laughter, Bronya was stunned, then immediately realized something and gently broke free from Seele's hands.

Seeing Seele's scarlet eyes, Bronya gave a look that said, "As expected."

"Miss Stigmata?"

"Bingo~ The answer is correct, but unfortunately there is no reward."

Seely satisfied with Bronya's frightened look, Seele leaned down again and nestled her head in Bronya's arms like a kitten. Although Bronya was helpless about the girl's behavior, she did not stop her from hugging her.

"So... Miss Stigmata, what do you want from me?"

"Ah~ I'm obviously another Seele, can't I come and visit Sister Bronya if I have nothing to do? Besides, Seele herself agreed."

While rubbing Bronya's slightly curved chest, "Seele" suddenly raised her head. There was no mischief as in the past in her red eyes, but a hint of blame.

"Sister Bronya, you are not even 16 yet. Do you want to become a moldy office worker in the studio so early? Besides, even if you are an office worker, you won't have nothing to do but work overtime for yourself."

"Well... but these are very important documents. If they pile up like this in Bronya, the arrangements of the subordinate departments will be affected..."

Bronya looked a little absent-minded. Relying on the intelligence processing ability of the heavy-duty bunny 19c, she took the initiative to join the communication department of the me company as her combat ability was gradually eliminated. Perhaps she was eager to find her own value, or perhaps it was just a three-minute enthusiasm for the new profession, she began to work harder and harder.

"But I'm afraid no one else would do this like you, sorting documents on an empty stomach in the middle of the day. Sister Bronya, please go to eat with Seele immediately! Otherwise, I will call the Labor Administration Bureau and report that this place is illegally employing child labor and working overtime!"

"As for food, Bronya, here are bento boxes made by Mei-nee. Also... Miss Stigmata, even if you call the Labor Bureau in Changkong City, the only person who will answer the phone will be the death warrior who screams ruarua, right?"

"I don't care! Sister Bronya must accompany us to the restaurant today. Seele is such a well-behaved child that she will definitely not act like a spoiled child to you like this, but I'm different!"

608 Wrong Decision >>

Seele pounced forward, pushed Bronya down on the spacious chair, and buried her head in Bronya's chest again. At this time, Seele's hands also became restless, and seeing the opportunity, she reached into Bronya's clothes and climbed up along the girl's slender waist...

"Hey! Xier, stop it..."

"Sister, go with Xier!"

Although she does not reject close contact with Xier, their relationship is just that of close sisters. Apart from the kiss when they parted a few years ago, there has been no interaction beyond family affection.

But Xier's behavior at this moment clearly crossed that line.

"Xie'er..."

Bronya blushed, looking at the increasingly unscrupulous "Seele" helplessly. With her strength, she was completely unable to stop a Ruler like Seele. However, facing this lady with the stigmata who shared the body with Seele, Bronya suddenly felt that the awkwardness she had felt when getting along with her before seemed to have eased a lot.

It was like she had gone from being a stranger with Seer's appearance to being another sister of hers...

But then again, Miss Stigmata is a relic from the last era, so she must be over 50,000 years old, right?

Bronya thought silently, not noticing that Seele had lowered the back of the chair and climbed on top of her.

When people see it, they can instantly associate it with a certain aspect.

"..."

The stunned young Valkyrie stood at the door, looking at the two petite figures entangled in the office, a blush on her face in surprise. Just when she was about to retreat, the blue-haired girl suddenly turned around and looked straight at her.

"Um...um, is Ms. Bronya here?"

Being stared at by the blue-haired girl's sharp eyes, the Valkyrie instantly had the urge to run away. But soon, after thinking about her mission, she forcibly suppressed her embarrassment and walked into the studio that seemed to be filled with the fragrance of lilies.

"Tsk... Sister Bronya, I'm looking for you."

Seele rolled down the chair somewhat unhappily, leaving the disheveled Bronya gasping for breath. But soon, after realizing that someone was coming, Bronya quickly straightened her dress and coughed heavily as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem... Hello, Miss Valkyrie, I'm Bronya Zajcek, what can I do for you?"

"Ms. Bronya, I'm Leia Nora from the Third Special Service Team. Our captain, Asakura Miyuki, wants to see you about something important. Could you spare a few minutes of your time?"

"Has Sister Miyuki come back? Yes... no problem, let's go now."

Bronya thought for a moment, then nodded, saved the electronic file, turned off the terminal, and walked straight to the door.

Xier shrugged and followed. After seeing her move, the Valkyrie immediately raised her hand to stop her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Freya, the executive officer only invited Miss Bronya to come, please forgive me."

"Eh? But Miyuki and I are pretty familiar with each other..."

"Ms. Stigmata, maybe Sister Miyuki is looking for me because of some military secrets. You and Xi'er should stay here for a few minutes. We will be back soon."

"Okay, we'll wait for you, Sister Bronya~"

Bronya nodded, turned around with a smile, and followed the Valkyrie out of the studio.

"..."

As Bronya's footsteps gradually faded away, the blue-haired girl sitting on the chair moved her eyes, and a hint of cunning appeared in her red eyes.

"You are so naive, Sister Bronya... I am not that good kid like Seele. Do you really think I will stay here and wait for you to come back?"

She stood up, walked out of the room without hesitation, and secretly followed Bronya in the direction she left.

"Hehe... It's a rare opportunity to come out, how can I miss the fun things~?"

On the transport plane from Me Club to St. Freya Academy, the young Valkyrie sat in the back seat of the cabin, leaning against the glass window of the aircraft, looking coldly at the ruins of Changkong City below.

The special task force led by Miyuki Asakura is currently affiliated with the anti-entropy ME Club, but all members except her are composed of Valkyries.
