K424 of the Collapse World

"No! Absolutely not! Shirley, my concern for you is witnessed by the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon! In the end, it's your fault. If you hadn't said it clearly at the time, how could I have run out and said nonsense..."

"That's enough! If you hadn't almost given me a concussion, I would never have let you run out of the room and ruin my innocence!"

In anger, Hillary's head began to feel dizzy again. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to relax her mind again.

Seeing that Shirley was almost "fainted from anger", Hill was once again glared at by others. She was so scared that she dared not to pursue the victory and shrank back obediently.

"Huh...Okay, Hill, since you care about me so much, then do me a small favor. As long as you are willing to agree

, I will forgive you this time."

"Um...can I ask first, what is the small favor?"

Looking at the worried blue-haired girl, Shiris didn't play word games and stated her conditions openly.

"I heard that you helped Otto a lot at the Destiny Headquarters before? So this time, can I ask you to go..."

“Eh——!! No! I would rather die than go back to that place!”

As Hillary expected, Hill's fur stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he screamed and shook his head like a rattle.

During the time she was left in the destiny, she was a tool that could extract the power of creation. Otto used her to "resurrect" a group of Valkyries from previous generations. Herrscher's energy was severely overdrawn, and she spent more than half a year recuperating in St. Freya Academy and ME Club before she recovered from her half-dead state.

Now, does Shirley want to push her into that fire pit again as revenge?

This is a bit too much!

"No! Shiris... I was lucky enough to survive last time, but if it happens again I will definitely be killed by that perverted golden-haired bishop! It would be more satisfying for you to kill me with a cannon than to be slowly drained like an oil well!"

Hill's voice was already filled with tears, which showed how serious the psychological trauma she had suffered from her time working at Tianming was...

Looking at the tearful blue-haired girl, the corners of Hillis' mouth twitched a little. She didn't expect that such a joke could scare Hill into such a state.

Of course, Shirley was joking. Even if she was taking revenge on Hill for spreading rumors, she couldn't really hurt her friend...

"Ah~ Are you really unwilling? Otto seemed to have told me last month that there are several projects that require your cooperation that have not been completed yet..."

"Please! Don't do this one thing!"

Seeing Hill wailing again, Shilis could not help but smile bitterly. Whether this girl was pretending to be scared or was really scared to death by Tianming, the joke had gone too far...

"Okay! Wipe your snot and tears. I also know how crazy Otto's experiment is. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."

Hillis's expression softened, and she smiled as usual again. But perhaps because the contrast between her before and after was too great, Hill was still trembling, as if he didn't believe Hillis was so easy to talk to.

671 Do you dare to defy me who has the power of restraint? >>

"Alright, Hill! Stop shaking your body. Aren't you ashamed that a dignified Sixth Herrscher was frightened like this by a single sentence from me?"

"Woo...are you really willing to spare me?"

"What else? A bad joke doesn't deserve to make me so angry. I've lived for 50,000 years, but I'm like Theresa..."

Hillary moved her stiff neck and watched Hill's fear gradually fade away and return to normal, and she burst out laughing.

Does this count as finding her Achilles' heel?

Putting this matter aside for the moment, Shirley felt her weak body and her mind was immediately moved.

"Oh, by the way, Hill, I overdrew my mental strength in that battle, and I can't control my energy as I wish. Please use the power of creation to help me repair it first."

Overdrawing her physical energy caused lactic acid to accumulate in her muscles and meridians, and the uncontrollable collapse energy caused by mental collapse eroded the lactic acid into inorganic acids that were difficult to decompose, making it almost impossible to relieve her body's fatigue in normal ways.

Although the power of creation could not relieve the dizziness caused by mental exhaustion, it could at least make her limbs no longer so weak.

Hill nodded without hesitation, and white spots of light like petals appeared on his palms.

"That's easy, I'll help you now..."

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, Tesla interrupted and his eyes suddenly became serious when he looked at Shirley.

"Are you busy again?"

"Well... the war has just ended and everyone is busy with reconstruction work. How can I just lie in bed leisurely like this?"

Hillis answered naturally, and in her mental weakness, she did not notice Tesla's slightly frowned brow.

Hill was about to release the white flower in her hand, but Tesla suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Hill, don't restore her!"

“Eh…?”

Being interrupted like this, the weak power of creation immediately dissipated and failed to smoothly integrate into Shirley's body.

"why?"

Hillarys frowned, and everyone present, including her, looked at Tesla in confusion, not understanding why she forbade Hillarys to receive treatment.

"Why don't you lie down and rest? Where do you want to go with your exhausted body? Look at your face, it's uglier than when I stayed up all night for three days!"

Looking into Hillis' eyes fearlessly, Tesla seemed a little angry, but more of it was worry from the bottom of his heart.

"You dare to run around in this state? Be careful not to faint outside, or you'll get fucked.

Pregnancy... Don't look at me like that, it's just an analogy. Anyway, I will never let you go out again until your mental state is fully restored!"

"Frei, I'm not going out to fight. I'm just going to help Theresa and the others with some clerical work. It's nothing."

Shilis opened her eyes and her gaze became sharp.

Although she knew that Tesla did this for her own good, Shiris also had her own plans.

"Okay, Hill, recover for me."

"OK......"

Hearing this, Hill was about to activate his ability again, but Tesla glared at her fiercely, as if to say, if you dare to listen to Hillis, I will send you to Otto immediately...

Hill shuddered, looked around in embarrassment, then sat back in his chair calmly, curling up again and pretending to be a blue-haired ball.

Seeing this, Shilis was about to say something when she found that Diana and Kiana were also standing next to Tesla, including Mei and Siegfried also showed expressions of approval...

"you......?"

"I'm sorry, Sister Shilis, I think Dr. Tesla is right. You really shouldn't torture your body."

Kiana lowered her head, avoiding Shirley's gaze and spoke softly, but her tone was firm.

"I'm sorry, Shirley. This time it's not up to you to decide."

Tesla said softly, bearing Shirley's dissatisfied look without caring.

Shirley puffed up her cheeks slightly, as if she was not going to give up yet.

"Do you dare to defy me who has the power to bind?!"

"Haha...binding power? Show me what you can do now! If you dare to ignore the backlash and activate the Houkai energy, I will create a soul steel chain to tie you to the bed!"

"you......!"

Shilis gritted her teeth, but was clearly shaken.

Looking at the deflated silver-haired girl, Tesla raised a triumphant smile.

"There is no work for you to do right now. Even if the Herrscher of the Stone strikes back, we have our own way! In the next few days, you just stay at home and take care of your health. Don't even think about going anywhere."

"Humph......"

"You know without me having to tell you that the residual special inorganic acid only affects your movement ability, but is not enough to erode your Houkai physique. With this natural restriction, there is no need to worry about you running around."

After saying that, she turned to the blue-haired girl who was playing dead.

"Hill, don't use the power of creation to help her exorcise it."

Upon hearing this, the latter immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Yeah! Don't worry, Dr. Tesla. For Miss Shilis to recover in peace, I will never treat her!"

Seeing that Hillis's situation was hopeless, Miss Hill obeyed Tesla's order without hesitation, and even threw away the guilt she felt towards Hillis after spreading the rumor.

"Well, after making so much noise for so long, you should continue to rest, Shilis."

Tesla opened the door, smiled at Shiris who turned away angrily, and waved to the other people in the room.

"let's go."

"Bye...Sister Shilis."

"See you this afternoon, Shirley."

"Please have a good rest..."

After everyone said goodbye to Shiris, they followed Tesla out of the room. The noisy room suddenly became quiet, with only the silver-haired girl on the bed.

"hehe......"

It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that Shirley couldn't help laughing and sighed with a wry smile.

She is not an ignorant child, so she will not continue to be angry. The reason why she did that was just to express her dissatisfaction.

"Forget it... Tesla is right. The most important thing for me now is to rest. Even if I use the power of creation to make my body recover in advance, I'm afraid I will still be exhausted and dizzy, and I won't be able to walk steadily... However, it's really embarrassing to be said to this extent."

The girl slowly lay down and closed her eyes.

"So, am I under house arrest now?"

672 Journey to Find the Heart

Stepping into the pure white space, Bronya looked at the familiar scene and sighed softly.

From the moment she became the Ruler of the Heart, she knew that it would not be her last time to enter the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Only one day later, she came to the familiar pure white space again. Perhaps for the Herrscher of the Heart, this was the most essential way to use the Herrscher's ability...

She can enter people's hearts at will. In front of her, all the secrets hidden in people's minds are no longer secrets. Bronya doesn't like this kind of power very much, but now, she has no choice.

After all, now only she can eliminate the influence left by Lindy and mend the broken heart of the girl.

"Squad Leader...

How long will you sleep? But since your sea of ​​consciousness is still open to me, it at least proves that you are still alive. Your mental world should be nearby... "

The girl in the pink dress floated through the space, and the scattered light particles left a stardust-like trail. After a few seconds, she disappeared from this pure white world, leaving only the unchanging white background.

The vast white spiritual space remained unchanged, even giving Bronya the illusion that she had never moved.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the area covered by Fu Hua's own spirit may not be large, but the entire sea of ​​consciousness is infinite. After Fu Hua suffered a mental attack, her consciousness activity fell to the lowest point. It was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack for Bronya to find her mental world.

Of course, Bronya would never give up easily. Even if the medical department's diagnosis had confirmed that Fu Hua was brain dead, she would use facts to prove that her friend was not dead...

"Where is it...?"

Bronya muttered to herself, constantly scanning the interior of her sea of ​​consciousness with her Herrscher ability. Unfortunately, the mental energy she consumed in the battle with the Herrscher of the Rock could not be fully restored within a few days. Perhaps it would be more efficient in a complete state, but Bronya didn't want to wait that long.

"what?!"

At this moment, as if the girl's selfless dedication had been rewarded, a very weak energy reaction suddenly caused a ripple in her perception...

“What is…?”

Looking in the direction of the wave, Bronya couldn't help but hold her breath, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It was a tiny feather, with a faint crimson light lingering around it, so tiny compared to the infinite spiritual space. However, in this eternal pure white, even the faintest light, in Bronya's eyes, was no less dazzling than the morning star in the dark night!

"Bronya found you, squad leader."

Ignoring the long distance between them, Bronya's spirit body instantly appeared in front of the feather. She raised a finger and gently touched the fluff of the light feather...

The next moment, as an invisible wave swept through the white space like a raging sea, when the wave subsided, Bronya's body had turned into light and merged into the tiny feather.

No matter what awaits her ahead, it cannot stop the girl's steel-like determination...

Before the appointed afternoon, the half-asleep Shirley welcomed another uninvited guest.

"Actually... Well, Dr. Tesla is right. You really should rest."

Standing at the door of the ward, Einstein saw the pale and haggard silver-haired girl on the bed at first sight, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.

Apparently, Shirley's dire condition was beyond her expectations.

"Dr. Einstein..."

The silver-haired girl stretched lazily, and it took her a while to identify Einstein with the owner of the voice.

"Since the doctor thinks I should rest, why bother disturbing my rest?"
