K424 of the Collapse World

"Hmm... isn't that right? Don't the people around Sis Shilis hate what the World Snake does? But Xing can't find any reason to hate it. Sis Shilis... doesn't she think Xing is wrong?"

"There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. It's just our subjective feelings based on moral values. Perhaps Siegfried and his friends can't understand your feelings either. But don't forget, I know about Xing's past, so I can naturally understand why Xing thinks this way."

As long as you know what this girl has experienced, you will only feel pity for this girl with a twisted personality...

"Then will Sister Shilis... hate Xing now?"

"So why should I hate Xing? If I hated you, I wouldn't be with you like this, nor would I say these words to you... Really, I'm not good at explaining things. In short, I don't hate Xing now, and I won't hate Xing because of her thoughts. Is this explanation enough?"

"I still don't quite understand... But, that's enough."

Xing slowly raised her head, looked at the silver-haired girl's face so close to her, and smiled with relief.

"I'm sorry... Sister Shilis, it seems that Xing has caused trouble for me again."

"It's not a big deal... Well, let's go back quickly. If Tesla sees us, he'll probably nag us again..."

As she spoke, Shilis gently let go of the girl in her arms, intending to let Xing push her back to the ward as before.

But the next moment, out of the corner of her eye, Shilis noticed a figure in a Valkyrie uniform slowly walking up to her.

"Hello, is this Miss Silis Kaslana?"

690 First Encounter

This is a black-haired Asian woman, wearing the standard short skirt-style school uniform of St. Freya. With a simple single ponytail and youthful appearance, it is easy to guess her identity.

An ordinary Valkyrie student whom she didn’t recognize—this was Shilis’s first reaction when she saw the girl.

Asking questions in a polite manner and maintaining a proper conversation distance are indeed common habits of the Far East native Valkyries. Not to mention the distant past, Mei's usual habits of dealing with people can well represent the Far East local Valkyries group.

"Yes, that's right. I am Silis Kaslana, one of the senior executors of the Anti-Entropy Organization. Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Ms. Shilis, the Intelligence Department has received an encrypted email sent to you. Major Yuli has personally instructed that in order to avoid identity verification failure and trigger confidentiality procedures, it is best for you to receive it in person at the terminal."

The Valkyrie answered softly without being servile or arrogant, picked up her communicator, and displayed the mission status page in front of Shiris.

"Encrypted email... Wait, your mission is to come here specifically to deliver a message to me? Can this be considered a B-level mission?"

When Shilis saw the Valkyrie's mission information, her expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Besides, for things like receiving emails, you can just tell me directly through the communication. Why do you have to waste human resources?"

"Well...Major Yuri told me that the Far East Branch's network firewall had been hacked not long ago, so it's best to pass on important information verbally..."

"I see... As expected of Yuri. That's right, after all, she was once the ace agent of Anti-Entropy. It's not surprising that she was able to discover the traces of the invasion so quickly."

Shilis smiled. It had been a long time since she heard that name. She immediately recalled the exploration mission of the former civilization ruins a few years ago. In that exploration mission, Yuli was one of her companions. She witnessed her reunion with Kiana and the defection of Claire's team...

It's all in the past.

Dispelling these suddenly floating memories, Shilis focused her gaze again and looked at the Valkyrie in front of her waiting for a reply. Her penetrating gaze reflected the other's iris into her own eyes.

"Miss Hillis, what do you think?"

"...Sorry, the energy in my body became unstable again and my consciousness was interrupted for a few seconds. Can you repeat what I said?"

Shirley said this a little embarrassedly, and her listless look didn't seem fake at all. In response, before the Valkyrie could say anything, Xing came closer with a worried look on her face.

"Sister Shilis! Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay now, isn't it~"

"Consciousness is interrupted... Could it be a recurrence of the injury? But Dr. Tesla..."

"Okay Xing, I'll be back to health soon, don't worry about such trivial matters."

Patting Xing's arm in comfort, Shilis turned back to the young Valkyrie's direction.

"Is that okay? Miss Valkyrie."

"Oh, okay. The source of that encrypted email is very close to the World Snake address that the Intelligence Department is tracking. So, could you please receive that data as soon as possible?

Report? "

The young Valkyrie still spoke in a gentle tone, without showing any nervousness or impatience. For a member of the Intelligence Department, she was obviously very good at social etiquette.

The silver-haired girl's mouth curled up slightly.

"The World Serpent's intelligence... just in time! I was actually planning to share my findings with the Intelligence Department. To ensure timeliness, let's set off now."

After saying that, Shilis looked at Xing beside her again.

"I'm sorry, Xing. You should go back and rest today. As you can see, I have to go to the Intelligence Department first. I probably won't have time to chat in the afternoon."

"Sister Shilis..."

"Don't worry, dear. After all, this is something that concerns me, and I have a feeling that this matter is crucial to our next move."

Slowly prying Xing's hands apart, Shiris's eyes moved slightly, and she gently left a kiss on the girl's forehead, then they broke away from each other's embrace.

"Oh, Xing, please tell Siegfried that I may not be able to attend the God's Key power experiment tonight. Tell them not to worry about me."

"Yes, Xing knows, Sister Shilis."

Xing reluctantly let go of Shirley. Although she was not very comfortable separating from Shirley after just being together, she also knew what was more important and naturally would not act like a child and say she didn't want to leave or something like that.

"Then I'll ask you to make an extra trip, Xing. I don't want to stand someone up for no reason. At least I should explain the reason clearly."

With Xing watching, the Valkyrie slowly walked behind Shirley's wheelchair and pushed it in the opposite direction of the medical department...

"By the way, what's your name?"

Soon they left the medical department's passage and came to the next floor of the Far East Base. Shiris asked casually, keeping a calm expression and looking forward.

"My name is Lan Haiyao, Miss Shilis. I am a 2013 student of Saint Freya and a C-rank Valkyrie in the Intelligence Department."

The Valkyrie answered fluently, pushing Shiris into the empty elevator compartment and pressing the B41 floor button of the Intelligence Department.

"Not bad, I can start working as a Valkyrie before I officially graduate."

"You're too kind. This level is nothing."

Generally speaking, except for the Valkyrie students who are above level B and qualified to fight, most Valkyries need to undergo special training after graduation before they can start formal work.

"Don't be modest. As a member of the Intelligence Department, you have already proven yourself to be excellent. At least in my opinion, there are probably very few people in the Far East who are better than you. If you are willing to stay in the Far East branch in the future, it will be a good thing for us."

690 First Encounter >>

"This is really...thank you for your kindness."

The Valkyrie's tone was a little fearful, as if she couldn't believe that she could be recognized by such a big shot.

It seems to be done perfectly...

The elevator continued to descend, approaching the target floor with a slight sense of weightlessness. In silence, Shirley looked at the camera mirror in the corner of the elevator. With her extreme vision as a carbon-based creature, she could see the image reflected in the pinhole-sized mirror.

Moreover, she could see clearly, and she could see all the details of their faces...

"Ms. Lanhai, can I ask you a question?"

"What's the problem, Lady Shilis?"

The polite and gentle tone was still there, and there was nothing wrong with it. The sincere feelings that were inadvertently revealed between the words, even if we knew it was a language skill, were enough to maximize the favor of others within the scope of social relationships.

"The core studio of the Intelligence Department is on the -43rd floor, about meters underground. But now, I can feel that the elevator has dropped nearly meters. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Shilis asked in a deep voice, with no emotion in her eyes.

"Ah? Really?... I don't know. Maybe the elevator is broken?"

Hearing this, the Valkyrie blinked her slightly narrowed eyes, and her expression became confused. But at this time, as if with the change of her mentality, her standard etiquette tone also added some other emotions.

The confidence that the situation was under control and the psychological relaxation due to the absolute advantage had already made her voice carry a hint of indifference and mockery.

But she didn't care and was too lazy to even hide her facial expression.

"Do you need me to contact the person in charge of the equipment department for you, Lady Shilis~?"

She walked slowly from behind the wheelchair to the front of the silver-haired girl. She looked at Shirley's delicate face, trying to find the surprise and astonishment she wanted in the depths of her seemingly rippleless pupils.

There is no doubt that the girl in front of him, Silis Kaslana, is the strongest person in the current era, and even if multiple Herrschers join forces, they cannot defeat her head-on. But now, when this girl, who is seriously injured and too weak to stand, realizes that she has fallen into a trap, will she also show a look of fear?

Natural life

It would be impossible for Anti-Entropy to imagine that when the World Serpent destroyed Haiyuan City yesterday, it had already formulated and implemented an infiltration plan.

With the help of the holy relics from the previous civilization era, the World Serpent can easily break through the network defense of Destiny!

These smart guys probably thought that the World Serpent would be quiet for a while after the action in Haiyuan City? So, they fell into the trap without any group: 543659389... It was even simpler than expected!

She continued to look into Shirley's eyes, but she was disappointed to find that there was still no "fear" that she wanted to see in the silver-haired girl's eyes.

"What a surprise... You were able to cut off the signal from the fourth-to-last layer, and even the outsiders couldn't detect anything unusual. This is indeed a technology from the pre-civilization era."

Hearing Shiris's calm voice, the Valkyrie came back to her senses a little, sneered, took two steps forward, and looked down at the weak girl in the wheelchair.

"It's a pity. If you had realized my identity earlier, you wouldn't have fallen to this point. Now, please tell me, how does it feel to fall into the abyss, Lady Shilis~?"

"Humph......"

"It's no use pretending to be calm. You can't escape from our grasp, subject K-424. I am one of the World Serpent's followers - "Lonely Weasel". Remember this code name. This is the person who will defeat you!"

As if playing with his trophies, the weasel ran his fingers through the silky silver hair and looked at the powerless girl with a smile on his face.

She enjoyed the feeling of controlling the fate of others, especially when she won the victory through her own strength, her sense of accomplishment was almost overflowing.

However, those emotionless blue eyes are probably the only flaw...

If it weren't for the Lord's order, I really want to dig them out~

"Come with me, you have no right to refuse."

Pushing Shirley's wheelchair, Ling Weasel walked out of the open elevator door and came to the 82nd underground floor of the Far East Branch Base, which was the fourth floor from the bottom - the Abandoned Project Integration Storage Center.

All the secret plans and documents that the branch had abandoned were stored here. Because of the confidentiality involved, the number of visits here each month was mostly just a few times for regular maintenance, and basically no one cared about it.

They chose to steal this place, it seems they did a lot of work...

The girl's wheelchair passed through the corridor of the data room and was pushed by Lingwei to the main hall. Shilis finally met the person in charge of World Snake's operations.

"Nice to meet you, Ruler of Constraints - Silis Kaslana. This should be our first official meeting."

"...!"

As a voice that was not unfamiliar to Shirley came from the front, a hint of surprise finally appeared in the calm eyes of the silver-haired girl.

"This... is actually you?! But you weren't just yesterday... Oh, I see."

Looking at the tall figure right in front of her, the surprise in Shilis's eyes slowly faded and her eyes narrowed into a thin line.

"Haha...Should I feel honored? You who just got out of prison have come all the way to greet me. I am really flattered by this kind of treatment."

Straightening her back with some difficulty, Shirley stared coldly at the white-haired young man, with a subtle arc at the corner of her smiling mouth.

"Kevin Kaslana..."

691 The spread of the situation

The strongest warrior in the pre-civilization era, the supreme leader of the World Serpent Organization, appeared before him without any warning.

Although she was not surprised by the invasion of the World Serpent, Shiris never expected that Kevin would personally carry out this plan...

"You are calmer than I thought, Miss Hillis."

"What else? Should I cry and beg for mercy? If I do that, will you let me go?"

"Please rest assured that we have no hostility towards you at the moment, if you are willing to cooperate."

Not paying attention to Shirley's sharp gaze, Kevin looked at the girl in the wheelchair calmly.

"I believe you have fully understood the current situation, Ms. Shilis. As you can see, we intend to invite you to the World Serpent Headquarters for a chat. Please don't refuse."

"What? You're so shameless that you can say such a thing as using coercion to 'invite' a woman."

Xili mocked without any hesitation. To the others around her, the weak girl sitting in the wheelchair seemed to be able to vent her anger only in this way.

"Oh~?"

The next moment, before Kevin could reply, the weasel suddenly moved closer to Shirley, and with an arrogant and contemptuous smile, he lifted the girl's chin with his finger.

"Please pay attention to your attitude, dear Lady Shilis. If you are unwilling to accept the invitation of the Lord, then I will change the wording slightly. Hmm, how about changing it to escort? It doesn't make any difference anyway. After all, you are already our prisoner, right?"

"..."

"What's wrong with you, you sharp-tongued girl?

"You're not talking anymore? Seeing that the Lord doesn't want to make things difficult for you, you're taking advantage of him? I really shouldn't have been nice to you..."
