K424 of the Collapse World

But, it's just right! It's rare to come across a place you know. Xi'er should be there too.

In the end, Bronya will also be adopted by Cocolia.

What a coincidence... And, Xing... should also enter the Cocolia Orphanage in the future. Does this count as bringing the time forward? Will it have any impact on the plot...

Lan Feng guessed this, and the ripples in her eyes slowly disappeared. At this moment, when she raised her head again, there was only fear and anxiety in her eyes.

At the same time, opposite Lan Feng, Cocolia raised her eyebrows when she saw the girl protecting the young lady behind her.

Cocolia had certainly seen this girl's timidity compared to her previous conversation with the sheriff. Cocolia couldn't help but show some doubt, but she seemed to have just thought about it for a moment and then stopped showing any expression.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here. They can't hurt you anymore. Answer me, have you killed anyone?"

Ignoring the sheriff's face becoming a little ugly, Cocolia continued. Indeed, for her, no matter what she wanted to do, these policemen could not stop her.

"I...I'm not..."

The girl stammered, her voice was very low. This was naturally Lan Feng's fake expression. In order to enhance the effect of the fear, she tried to hug Xing next to her tightly.

"Eh……?"

Xing was a little surprised. She didn't know that her elder sister would suddenly act so intimately. However, she was also happy for her elder sister to be close to her, so she hugged Lan Feng as well. They looked like a pair of close sisters...

"Mr. Officer, you heard it, she denied it. Besides, the two girls were obviously friends. Why do you think she is the murderer?"

"Ms. Cocolia, what are you going to do now?"

The sheriff wiped his face with his hands and wiped the water drops from his eyes. Could it be that this woman really intended to interfere in this matter?

"I want to take her away. Anyway, you were planning to kill her just now, right?"

Kokolia laughed, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, reflecting a chilling light in her purple eyes. None of the police officers present dared to look directly into her eyes...

"But... she is a murderer..."

"Do you have evidence?"

The sheriff said nothing more, and Cocolia walked towards Lan Feng step by step.

The girl seemed even more frightened. She took another step back, causing Xing beside her to stagger as well.

Thump...thump...

Under extreme tension, Lan Feng could feel her heart beating rapidly. It was not just based on her memory, as Cocolia got closer, she could feel it more clearly...

This woman is really dangerous! Not only is her temperament oppressive, but also her strength. In the detection of perception, I vaguely got a rough estimate...

Since traveling through time, my sixth sense has never been wrong!

Lan Feng didn't know whether the source of Cocolia's power was the stigmata or something else, but there was no doubt that if he fought with Cocolia now, his chances of winning would be slim.

"You should have understood, right? Now, I can guarantee your safety. As long as you are willing, you can follow me, and I will let you have a home."

Cocolia spoke softly as she stood in front of Lan Feng and gently placed her hand on the girl's hooded head.

What she didn't know was that this action had set the alarm bells in Lan Feng's heart ringing like crazy. She forced herself to suppress the urge to dodge, and she suppressed her agitated nerves. In the end, her body just trembled slightly, and she didn't do anything unreasonable.

Feeling the girl's evasion, Cocolia didn't care. She pinched the rough cloth and slowly took off the hood of the girl's coat...

As the hat was pulled open, revealing her long, shiny purple hair and purple eyes, she timidly raised her head and looked at Cocolia who was slightly surprised.

"Ci Lin..."

Indeed, her hair color is the same as her daughter Xilin...

Looking at the girl's puzzled eyes, she shook her head.

"…It's nothing. Just like I said, I will give you shelter and a warm home. So, come with me."

Out of fear of Cocolia, Lan Feng did not cancel her simulated Herrscher state. In this state, she could feel more at ease in close contact with Cocolia.

Lan Feng couldn't help but want to laugh. He seemed to have just asked Xing this question and wanted to take her away, but now, someone said the same thing to him and wanted to take him away...

It's really a matter of time...

Lan Feng smiled bitterly in her heart as she looked at Cocolia in front of her. She resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and forced herself to calm down. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she looked at Cocolia with timidity and expectation...

"Really……"

"Of course, come with me, let's get out of this place."

Lan Feng's mouth twitched slightly. Why did this sentence sound so familiar? I think I said the same thing to Xing...

Oh, apricot...

"Wait! Xing...what about my friend?"

Lan Feng hurriedly asked Cocolia, he had already promised Xing that he would take her with him, so how could he go back on his word immediately.

"Miss Xing! What are you still standing there for? Come over here quickly!"

Suddenly, the maid standing by shouted anxiously, with an unusual light flashing in her eyes. She didn't care whether the criminal was caught or not. As long as Xing was safe and sound... this naive little girl had no awareness of owning a huge fortune. By then... all of it could be considered her own!

Xing looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the maid she had lived with for nearly ten years. But suddenly, as a golden light flashed in her right eye again, a feeling of disgust emerged on her face...

"No...no! Xing doesn't want to go with you! Xing wants to follow big sister..."

"What…?"

The maid's expression froze on her face.

Why would she refuse? When did that well-behaved and docile Miss Xing learn to reject herself so cold-bloodedly?

"Hey... Miss Xing, why do you want to leave? Your property and your relatives are all here. As long as you stay, even without the master and the mistress, you can still live a carefree life like before!"

However, Xing turned a deaf ear to the maid's excited voice and just gently pulled the corner of Lan Feng's clothes.

"Sister...you will bring Xing with you, right?"

Speaking of which, even though Xing didn't even know the name of the sister in front of her, she felt that the only person in the world worthy of trust was the girl in front of her.

Although she also had ominous rotten wings in that vision, compared to the utter ugliness of the others, she still had another angelic white wing that symbolized beauty.

She didn't know what those illusions meant yet, but as a child, she would naturally choose those things that looked beautiful.

057 Cracks in the Mask>>

In response, Lan Feng turned his head and looked at Cocolia, waiting for her opinion.

"Are you a child of that noble family?"

"Ah."

Cocolia looked at Xing, who was full of hope, and was a little puzzled. However, according to the known information, her parents were both dead, so she met the conditions for entering the orphanage.

"Okay, I agree to let you come along."

"No! Miss Xing! How can you... ugh!"

As the maid yelled in frustration, the sheriff quickly covered the mouth of the woman who didn't know whether to live or die. Cocolia glanced at her calmly and immediately made the woman quiet down.

This kind of oppressive look from a top soldier is not something that anyone can endure.

"Okay, come with me."

No longer paying attention to the complicated expression on the police chief's face, Cocolia said softly, took Lan Feng's hand without saying anything, and led the two girls to a small alley in the distance...

"Mr. Sheriff...are you just going to let them go like this? Who is that woman?"

A young police officer asked with an unwilling look on his face, still pointing his gun at the figure walking away. He didn't understand why someone could defy the law like this without being punished.

Glancing at the young man calmly, the sheriff put his pistol back into the holster and took off the hood of his raincoat.

"She is Cocolia, the warlord of the north."

After hearing the sheriff's words, the young police officer was stunned. Then he lowered his gun and remained silent.

Although this small town was not involved in the war, everyone in this country had a deep understanding of war. He naturally knew what a warlord who dominated a region meant in such a social context.

"Okay, let's pack up. How should we report to the mayor next..."

The police officers at the scene quietly dispersed, leaving only passers-by holding umbrellas to watch. The murmurs of discussion mixed with the sound of the rain. They didn't know what happened and could only guess at it. However, these things had nothing to do with Lan Feng anymore.

Walking in the narrow alley, Lan Feng shook her head uncomfortably, tiny drops of water flew out from her long purple hair. Her whole body was soaked, and her wet clothes stuck to her body, making her feel very uncomfortable.

The same thing happened to Xing beside her. This little girl must have experienced this for the first time. She also kept wiping the water droplets off her face with her hands, but exposed to the rain, her actions were doomed to be in vain.

However, Cocolia, who was walking in front of the two, just walked forward, letting the rain wet her army green coat, seemingly not caring about the heavy rain above her head.

The three people, one big and two small, just walked forward in silence. The only sound they could hear was the continuous sound of raindrops hitting the tiles.

Lan Feng was a little confused. Why didn't Cocolia say anything? In theory, she should at least ask for her basic information...

However, just as Lan Feng was thinking this, Cocolia, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Lan Feng was on high alert at all times, paying attention to Cocolia's movements.

At that moment, they suddenly stopped almost at the same time.

"..."

However, Cocolia, who was standing in front of him, did not speak. Lan Feng was confused and was about to ask...

————!

- Swish!

The figure in front of him suddenly blurred, followed by a strong wind blowing in his face! Lan Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, facing the swift fist like a needle tip!

There was a cold look in Cocolia's eyes. She took a step forward and swung her right fist as violently as a bomb. The powerful wind pressure shook away the raindrops along the way and hit Lan Feng's head directly.

(……Why?)

Did he see through her disguise? Or was it just a test? Lan Feng had no time to think about these things. Kokolia's sudden attack was beyond her expectations. Moreover, Kokolia's figure was frighteningly fast. Although she just turned around and punched, even Lan Feng could only see a blurry image! This kind of action was totally unlike what an ordinary special forces soldier could do!

(This kind of force... and this is murderous intent!)

Isn't this feeling that makes the hair on her body stand up the same murderous intent that she felt from the sickle warriors in that village?

(She really wants to kill me!)

Without time to think carefully, Lan Feng exposed his extraordinary physical fitness in a hurry! He pushed Xing behind him fiercely, and then flipped backwards at an incredible speed, instantly pulling away from Cocolia. While his body was still in the air, the pulse dagger was already in his hand. He adjusted his body shape and landed steadily. The whole process took less than a second!

The moment she landed, Lan Feng raised her dagger and took a fighting stance. However, when she was preparing to strike first and gather her Houkai energy to counterattack, she saw Cocolia standing not far away and stopped her movements.

Cocolia stood there with a smile on her face, and her fist stopped in mid-air. Judging from the distance, even if Lan Feng hadn't jumped away, Cocolia's fist would have only stopped in front of Lan Feng and would not have knocked her down.

Obviously this was just a test, but Lan Feng couldn't predict it.

"As expected... the one who killed that noble family is you, right, little girl?"

(What?)

Lan Feng's pupils shrank slightly...

"Don't be so surprised. I also know that in this country, a child who dares to wander around alone must have mastered the skills of using a gun before learning to use a spoon. However, your skills are better than I thought..."

Lan Feng didn't pay attention to what Cocolia said afterwards. She didn't expect that the dirty water would suddenly splash on her head. With the sudden shock, her hand holding the knife trembled slightly. Cocolia saw this scene and just smiled and shook her head.

"Don't be nervous. I won't do anything to you. Although your acting skills were good just now, you are still too young... Speaking of which warlord are you a young soldier affiliated with?"

"..."

(I see. It seems she misunderstood after all. But... this is also a good thing.)

It seems that Cocolia thought she was a young soldier like Bronya. Lan Feng did not answer. He did not know the information about the Russian warlord. If he said more at this time, it would be easy for this fake identity to be exposed.

Seeing Lan Feng holding the blade in silence and not answering her questions, Cocolia didn't care, she just looked at the expressionless Lan Feng with interest. She was just testing this girl, but when Cocolia witnessed Lan Feng's skills, she suddenly found that she was more interested in this girl who was similar to Xilin.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Those people have taken very good confidentiality measures. I will just assume that you don't know. Oh? That dagger... should be your trophy, right? Hehe... it's a Type 15 pulse dagger made by ME Company. It seems that you must have killed someone from our organization..."

Still ignoring Lan Feng's silence, Cocolia spoke again.

"With your skills, it is no exaggeration to say that you have reached the ace level of the military. Logically, you should have a title. Are you the Ural Silver Wolf? No... you are different from the rumors. But it doesn't matter..."

Lan Feng's eyebrows relaxed slightly. Ural Silver Wolf? Was Bronya already so famous at this time...

(Should I restore my normal silver hair and pretend to be the Ural Silver Wolf...? Never mind, it shouldn't affect the plot. Besides, it's better not to reveal these abilities in front of Cocolia. Fortunately, I stopped just in time and didn't condense the Houkai Crystal...)

"Here, that's what you just dropped."

Cocolia bent down, picked up a pendant from the ground and spoke to Lan Feng. Lan Feng then realized that the pendant, a relic of the middle-aged man North, which he had picked up in the settlement, had fallen out of his pocket because of his dodging action just now.

Opening the pendant casually, Cocolia looked at the blurry photo in the pendant and could only barely make out a middle-aged man and a little girl.

Then she turned her gaze and saw a name engraved on the other side.

"Silis North...? Is that your name?
