K424 of the Collapse World

"So, what do you think? Do you want to follow me? Or stay here?"

Lan Feng looked at Xing, waiting for her answer. Although there was a group of armed policemen standing guard outside the house, Lan Feng did not show any worry.

On the other side, Xing also came back to her senses from her previous trance. She looked at Lan Feng in front of her, carefully savoring what she had seen and heard like an illusion before.

"Protection...? Greed...?"

"What did you say?"

Facing Lan Feng's questioning, Xing shook her head. Ever since she saw the shadow on Lan Feng's body, she had developed an indescribable sense of trust in this girl who was not much older than herself. It was as if they were old friends for many years and she had a deep understanding of each other's true character.

Xing had never experienced this feeling with her parents.

A bright smile filled the girl's blood-stained face.

"Big sister, you will protect Xing and treat her well, right?"

"I'll do everything I can until I find someone willing to adopt you."

Xing tilted her head. She was not quite sure what Lan Feng meant. In short, it meant that she would protect Xing, would not let her get hurt, and would not let her get scared, right?

"Xing...I am willing to follow you, sister."

"…Is that so? Then follow me. And don't look back if you don't want to get even sicker."

After hearing Xing's answer, Lan Feng hesitated for a moment before saying this to her. Then, she turned around and walked towards the door. She didn't need to look back to confirm, as she could feel that the girl was indeed following closely behind her.

Apricot Mar...

(Is this choice...right or wrong? I don't want to change the development of these things too much, but...)

Allowing such an innocent little girl to fall into depravity is unacceptable.

"Heh... Never mind. Who knows what will happen in the future... Maybe the next time I see Kiana will be several years later."

While laughing at himself, Lan Feng walked through the corridor of Maer's mansion that was covered with murals. At this moment, these abstract murals seemed to have turned into demonic faces in the dim light, staring at the two girls who had walked out of hell with ill intentions...

·————————————·

"Look, they're coming out!"

A sharp-eyed police officer saw movement in the direction of the villa's gate and shouted loudly. Although his voice was a little unclear in the noisy rainstorm, the other nervous police officers still heard his warning shout.

The ornate wooden door opened silently, and a short figure in a gray coat with a hood appeared in front of the police.

Looking at the dozens of guns pointing at him at the same time, Lan Feng showed a sarcastic smile.

I didn't expect that this kind of plot that I often see in TV dramas would happen to me...

"Is this... a child?"

A hint of doubt flashed across the sheriff's eyes, but then it disappeared without a trace, leaving only coldness.

(It doesn’t matter if it’s just a child! Besides, it seems like he’s just a stray beggar… Since he’s done such a heinous thing, he should just be shot dead. But…)

Indeed, in this marginal city, even if a beggar like this died, no one would care. However, the current situation is not that simple...

"Mr. Officer! Miss Xing, Miss Xing is in his hands! Please save her quickly!"

The maid cried and grabbed the sheriff's sleeve. She pointed at the little girl standing behind Lan Feng with an anxious look on her face. She looked like a loyal servant who cared about her little master...

However, looking at the familiar maid, Xing's right eye flashed a faint golden light again...

In her eyes, the world was once again covered with a golden curtain. The maid in the center of her sight slowly lost her human form and turned into a twisted banknote. In the center, a greedy big mouth grew, chewing its tongue constantly, making a disgusting sound.

(As long as I can save that useless lady, I will definitely get a share of the Maer family's assets with this contribution! Then...)

So, is this what you think?

Her vision returned to normal in an instant, but the maid with whom she once lived became more and more unfamiliar in Xing's eyes.

"Xing...I hate her!"

"Huh? What..."

Lan Feng, who was standing next to her, suddenly heard Xing's whisper. She turned to the girl curiously and was about to ask her about it. However, she suddenly heard

The incoming shouting interrupted her words.

"Why did you kill Mr. Mal's family? Even his daughter?"

"…I didn't do that, and Xing followed me on her own."

Lan Feng originally wanted to explain more, but when she saw the police officer's face, she instantly lost interest in talking to him.

Anyway, the other party doesn't look like he will believe me.

Hearing Lan Feng's voice, the police officer raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, it was a child...

"Then why were you at the crime scene?"

Shouting loudly again, the police officer quietly gestured to someone behind him. What he didn't expect was that this scene was completely captured by Lan Feng's extraordinary vision.

"Hehe...I'm just taking a walk in here, is that not okay?"

Lan Feng sneered and gave an unrealistic reason. Obviously, the other party was just casually chatting to attract his attention. After the police officer made a gesture, a black gun barrel quietly pointed at him from the window of a small building not far to the side.

056 The person you shouldn't meet >>

Lan Feng, who was extremely sensitive to being peeped, naturally discovered the sniper at the first moment.

(Are you planning to shoot me...? Humph, in this situation, it's only natural that I'm considered the murderer... I can't help it, these police officers are just doing their job, so all I have to do is run away...)

The police chief's eyes twitched, and his gaze towards Lan Feng turned cold...

"What nonsense are you talking about? But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the laws of this place are relatively lenient to a guy like you who has committed a heinous crime. That is..."

Suddenly, Lan Feng's purple pupils, which were filled with Honkai energy, suddenly condensed. The whole world turned grayish white, and raindrops slowly floated in the air. Time seemed to slow down. Even in the rainstorm, dozens of meters away, she could still clearly see that the pupil of the man holding the sniper rifle in the distance suddenly dilated, and as his body trembled, the finger on the trigger retracted backwards...

(Are you planning to start now?)

Faint purple light began to appear between Lan Feng's fingers...

"……die!"

————Bang!!

As the sheriff shouted loudly, short and loud gunshots resounded through the sky!

However, Lan Feng stood there without any movement, just looking at the sniper leaning over the window with a puzzled look. He was covering his hand with a look of pain on his face.

“Ah! My hand! My hand…!”

The man stared at his severed hand in horror. He had indeed pulled the trigger. What should have happened was that the dwarf's head under the hood was blown up by the bullet...

However, a loud noise was heard suddenly, and the black sniper rifle was smashed into pieces by some force. His right hand also disappeared at this moment. Scarlet blood gushed out from his broken wrist, mixed with the rain, and dyed the windowsill red.

Lan Feng narrowed her eyes slightly. What happened just now had nothing to do with her. Something had destroyed the sniper's weapon before the bullet was fired!

"Don't point guns at children."

A cold female voice suddenly sounded from not far away.

Even though he had already noticed her when the gunshot was heard, Lan Feng still waited until she started talking before looking in the direction of the voice. Then he saw the figure standing proudly in the heavy rain.

(who is she?)

Standing not far to the side was a tall woman in military uniform. She twirled the large-caliber pistol in her hand under her fingernails and put it back into the holster at her waist. Her blond hair was wet by the rain, but it was still barely recognizable as curly. She had a cold smile on her face as she glanced around at the policemen who turned their guns toward her.

"Who are you? How dare you attack a police officer? Are you challenging the laws of this country?!"

The sheriff looked at the guy who suddenly appeared and shouted, then pulled out his own gun and pointed it at the woman.

Fortunately, no one was killed, otherwise, even if she had any connection with the army, the sheriff would have shot her without hesitation!

"Oh...? Don't you know who I am?"

As the woman's nonchalant voice of teasing came mixed with the sound of rain, the sheriff's brows were deeply frowned. He tried to let his eyes penetrate the dense raindrops and look carefully at the woman.

I seem to have seen that woman somewhere before...

(She seems to be a soldier of a Russian heavy industry family enterprise? No... Looking at her military uniform, it should be the uniform of a captain, but why is there no badge?)

"what!"

"what happened?"

Suddenly, the sheriff was startled by the scream of someone next to him, and he turned around and asked.

"That woman... Yes, that witch! Cocolia!"

Following the police officer's surprised shout, Lan Feng, who was standing at the door of the villa, was also suddenly shocked!

(Cocolia...?!)

She stared at her carefully, and indeed, she had an impression of this woman's appearance! Although she had only seen her in the game screen before, she could still vaguely recognize her.

come out!

Because Cocolia was soaked by the rain, Lan Feng was unable to recognize this anti-entropy commander for a moment.

(Is it really her?! What a trouble...)

(Cocolia... a crazy woman that even the other executors of Anti-Entropy are very afraid of. Tesla even directly calls her a female vixen. Why is she here?! Wait... Russia? No way, this is too much of a coincidence!)

Xing looked at Lan Feng's uncertain expression with curiosity in her big, pure eyes. She didn't know the current situation, and she had no interest in who the woman who suddenly appeared was. She was just waiting for the big sister beside her to finish these things. After that, she should be able to play with her...

On the other side, the sheriff's eyes widened when he heard his subordinates' voices.

Kokolia, a former captain of the special forces, later left the government military for some reason and joined a Russian heavy industry family. After that, no one knows what she went through, but she suddenly became a warlord in this country with constant civil war and quelled the war in the northern region. In the impression of ordinary people, this woman is a terrifying witch.

The sheriff couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He didn't expect that he would meet a big shot like Cocolia.

Even if we ignore her past experiences, based on her current status as a northern warlord, she is someone a small policeman like him cannot afford to offend...

"So there are people here who know me, ha ha ha... then things are simple. I'll just ask once, what are you going to do with these two kids?"

;?; Seemingly satisfied with the reactions of the people around her, Cocolia took a step forward and faced the sheriff, seemingly not caring about the black muzzles of guns pointed at her.

"Ms. Cocolia... that girl is the murderer who killed the entire Mal family! And now, Miss Xing is still her hostage!"

Although his clothes were soaked, the sheriff still felt a lot of cold sweat on his back. He didn't know what this witch was going to do when she suddenly came here. He tried to explain, but in return he got a mocking look from Cocolia.

"Are you blind? Miss Xing was obviously hiding behind that girl. How could she be a hostage? And...did you not understand my question? I saw everything you wanted to do to that girl."

As she spoke, Cocolia turned her head and looked at Lan Feng's short figure. Noticing the scrutinizing gaze, Lan Feng was startled and raised his head to meet Cocolia's gaze...

(Purple……)

Cocolia was slightly stunned. She saw a strand of purple hair sticking out from under the girl's hat, and her dark purple pupils...

"This color... is the same as my Xilin..."

She murmured, her faint whisper dissipated in the raindrops...

057 Cracks in the Mask

"Little girl, is what they said true? Did you kill the person who lived in this villa?"

Looking at the girl, Cocolia's voice softened and she asked softly, without any of the fierceness she had when facing the police.

In her eyes, the little girl hidden under the hood seemed to be frightened. She took a step back slightly and gently grabbed the sleeve of the girl next to her who was slightly shorter than her, while one hand stretched out to block in front of her.

This action seemed to be protecting her...

Xing suddenly saw Lan Feng doing this and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"elder sister……?"

"Shh! Don't talk yet."

Lan Feng quietly stopped Xing's questioning. She didn't know if she could deceive this so-called female vixen. If she found out that her body was different from that of an ordinary person, she would probably be taken away for dissection immediately. This woman didn't have the so-called kindness in her heart.

Subconsciously, Lan Feng hid her true character in front of Cocolia. As she moved, her brain was also working rapidly. Facing those armed policemen before, she didn't feel as nervous as she did now.

(Cocolia... Why is she interested in me? Did Tesla sell me out? No, that's impossible. Meeting her must have been a coincidence.)

Lan Feng's eyes fluctuated slightly as he recalled the memories before he traveled through time.

After the second collapse of the Siberian laboratory, a large number of displaced children appeared. Most of them were adopted by the military and trained to be cold-blooded young soldiers to be used as consumables in the civil war. With the help of a certain organization, Kokolia, a former captain of the special forces, established the Kokolia Orphanage to adopt children who lost their homes in the war.

But the actual purpose is not that simple...

Human experiments.

All the adopted children were continuously injected with trace amounts of Honkai energy, and were subjected to some kind of experiment...

Although Cocolia was indeed gentle to those children, what she did was not much different from the military, right? So, this woman wanted to take herself in?
