K424 of the Collapse World

"Well...I don't know either."

"Don't know? If your guess is correct and my soul has indeed entered this body, aren't you afraid that Cecilia will be angry if you reveal your true feelings to a cyborg so easily?"

"Cecilia, are you still angry with yourself? Haha... at least now, you don't look angry at all."

Looking at the smiling woman, Siegfried raised his hand again and gently cupped Cecilia's cheek.

"The theory of the soul still cannot be confirmed. I don't know if my intuition is as reliable as before, and I don't know if you are Cecilia. But even so, if I do nothing and watch you leave and disappear, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life..."

Man is slow

He slowly leaned down and got close to those pink lips that exuded a faint scent of lilies.

"Thank you, Cecilia. Thank you for leaving me this opportunity."

699 The Bishop Does Not Want to Leave

A few minutes later, in the abandoned case integration department in the underground area, the man and woman who had met again stayed where they were, and cleared the obstacles around them for the staff who came to repair the breach as if nothing had happened.

But the "first" kiss was really exciting for Cecilia, who was actually only a few months old. This mature-looking woman was like a young and innocent girl, and the blush on her cheeks could not fade away for a long time.

Fortunately, these technicians were just working hard and didn't pay much attention to Cecilia's blushing cheeks. Otherwise, there would be more gossip about Siegfried...

They would not know the creation plan of the Destiny Headquarters and would definitely regard this beautiful silver-haired woman as the new love of the head of the Kaslana family.

After all, in the eyes of the unaware crowd, Siegfried's character has always been that of a playboy who flirts with other women (according to rumors by Kirara Shigure). Even though he has become a responsible good man after getting married and starting a family, these stereotypes will not disappear so easily.

Seeing the hole made by Kevin being sealed again by the composite glue, Siegfried left here with peace of mind, holding Cecilia's hand and walking into the elevator at the exit.

Leaning on the railing on one side of the elevator, Siegfried seemed to have thought of something and took a step slightly towards the woman next to him.

"Yes, Cecilia."

"Ok?"

"You said before that our meeting was arranged by Otto? So what exactly did the bishop want to do?"

Siegfried asked seemingly casually, but his frown revealed that he actually cared about the matter.

"I'm not sure about that. I originally came here just to reclaim the bishop's body, and then the bishop suddenly decided to take me to see someone... Hmm~ Maybe the bishop just wanted to show you Helheim's latest product? Or is his purpose to make us recognize each other...?"

"That old guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve! I don't believe he's so kind, even though he did approve of Cecilia and I's wedding more than a decade ago... Wait, is Otto planning to do some experiment on us again?"

Cecilia tilted her head.

"Well... is there any problem? I am a test subject of destiny, and cooperating with the organization's experiments is also within my obligations... Oh, by the way, Siegfried, you don't seem to be a test subject..."

Looking at Cecilia's dazed look, Siegfried curled the corners of his mouth and sighed.

"That's not the question... Cecilia, since you have your own will, why do you insist on thinking of yourself as an experimental subject? It seems that you need to let Shilis enlighten your mind. In short, since I admit that you are my 'Cecilia', I will not let those old men use you as an experiment anymore."

"Um... is it really okay to do this?"

"Really? You're just like the first time we met, innocent and without any opinions. But you disobeyed the order of destiny without hesitation before... Is this really the effect of memory loss?"

The man scratched the back of his head and returned to his gentle expression with a slight wry smile.

"You don't have to think so much. Just follow your own will and make the decision, just like you did just now. I still have work to do. You should go to Theresa's place and take a rest. We can have a good chat at dinner time. I'll introduce you to everyone here. They are all very nice people."

"But I still have a mission to accomplish. Next I have to send the Bishop back to the headquarters..."

"Just find someone to do it! Shirley will definitely be willing to let you stay with us, and Theresa and the others will definitely be happy. If the old guy dares to object, Shirley and I will team up to tear down his home in a minute!"

“Eh…?”

Cecilia opened her eyes wide, and was indeed shocked by this fierce statement. Since her rebirth, she has always been conscientious in following orders, but she has never thought of disobeying the orders of her superiors. Even if such a thought appeared in her mind, she would immediately extinguish it.

"Don't worry, Otto will not refuse this request. Neither the Destiny Headquarters nor the World Serpent can be a match for the Far East Alliance. In terms of comprehensive strength, we are the strongest right now."

“But this behavior doesn’t feel good…”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"

Anyway, it was just a matter of saying hello to Shirley, which was not a difficult problem for Siegfried.

The remaining question is whether Kiana and Diana will accept this "artificial" mother. However, this should not be a big problem for the two girls who have also lost their memories.

However, if I go to see Shiris who is recovering from illness now, will I offend Dr. Tesla...

Siegfried's Guess

When Otto reached his final destination, the bishop had already driven his prosthetic body away from that place, and did not even see the two people kissing to the end.

He had already gotten the answer he wanted, so there was no need for him to stay and continue eating dog food.

(The resurrected body of the power of creation really has feelings for the past, and has also been recognized by the other party... So, Cecilia's "soul" is indeed in her body?)

The petite blonde doll slowly climbed up the narrow straight stairs. The expression on her childish face kept changing, and her eyes gradually became complicated.

(But this is still not rigorous. Perhaps Cecilia only carries a few memory fragments, and Siegfried just accepted her on impulse. This possibility also exists...)

Although he got the answer he wanted, he began to doubt the authenticity of the answer.

After all, this is really important to him...

Even if he had to wait another five hundred years, he would not accept a fake Kallen. If he adopted the creation plan like this, if the "Kallen" he had already recognized suddenly revealed one day that she was not Kallen, he would probably go crazy.

If a forged substitute could close the cracks in one's heart, Otto would have achieved his wish a hundred years ago.

(More evidence is needed... Perhaps, testing the recognition between blood relatives is more reliable. It is also necessary to observe the contact between Cecilia's daughter and her two sisters)

Otto thought silently that it was not so urgent to repair the prosthetic mental processor.

"amber."

Otto muttered to himself, and the next moment, the voice of the adjutant who was called appeared in his mind.

"Master Otto, what do you want?"

"Give the order to the S-rank Valkyrie Maria Shaniyate to go to the Far East Branch immediately and wait for orders. Her sister Angelia Shaniyate will accompany her."

"Received. I will convey your order immediately."

"Ah, and also tell Claudia to have the maintenance personnel from Morris's R&D department come to the Far East Branch. I may have to stay in the Far East Branch for a longer period of time, and it would be best if the problem with the prosthesis could be solved here."

"So, do we have to cancel the original return flight plan?"

"Cancel it, but don't announce it to the public. If the little guys in the Senate cause trouble, Rita will be in charge of handling it. If there are any special circumstances, please contact me in time. That's it."

After hanging up the communication device built into his prosthesis, Otto looked at the seemingly endless emergency staircase, continued to climb upwards, and thought about his next move.

Perhaps more support should be given to the Far East branch, and everything possible should be done to ensure the safety of key members.

Especially Hill-Fleia.

Before the verification of the Creation Plan is completed, Hill can't afford to have any more accidents...

Without the Ruler of Death, the Creation Plan is just empty talk.

·————————————·

"Aju~!"

699 Bishop does not want to leave >>

Hill, who was sitting in the ward and chatting with everyone, suddenly sneezed loudly.

Thanks to her words, the girls paused in their conversation.

"This is really strange. Can Herrscher catch a cold?"

Diana said, looking over with some curiosity. Since she was already in the hospital, it was natural for her to stay in Shirley's ward.

Except for Theresa, Jizi, and Jiuxiao who were busy with official duties, the rest of the relatives and friends basically stayed with Shirley in the original ward.

"Cold? Then please leave here, Miss Hill. I don't want you to infect Lady Hillis with the virus."

Benares reminded politely, standing upright beside Shirley's bed, guarding the girl on the bed like a knight.

She felt ashamed of not having been able to make it to the previous battle, and she didn't want her master to be threatened by anything again.

"It's not a cold! I think it must be someone who is talking about me... Oh, it must be that old popsicle! After being defeated by us, he held a grudge and cursed me in his heart. That guy is really (beep——) a piece of shit!"

The blue-haired girl wiped her nose and said nonchalantly. Bronya frowned at the swear words that came out of her mouth.

"Please be careful with your words, Miss Hill. You look a lot like Seele, but Seele would never say such vulgar words."

"Huh? But I'm not your little follower sister, so you can't do anything about it, right?"

"But this is very rude! They are clearly in the same space and time. Bronya can't understand why the difference between the two is so big..."

Bronya seemed a little unhappy, puffing up her cheeks, and her cheeks became round. But Hill also frowned, not quite understanding the girl's logic.

"Let that good girl Xi'er experience what I went through, and I guarantee she will become like me."

"Xi'er will never become like you!"

"Tsk! I was just thinking that you look exactly like Prometheus, so why aren't you as gentle and lovely as her?"

"...

...People with colds please go back to your room and be isolated!"

Bronya knew she was in the wrong, but she didn't give in. She didn't know why she was so serious. When she saw Hill's unruly attitude just now, a scene inexplicably emerged in her mind: Hill sat on the table with her legs crossed, with a lazy uncle-like smile on her face, holding a cigarette in her hand, patting her shoulder and sighing "Life~" and other decadent words.

Just thinking of that scene, she suddenly got goosebumps all over her body, and she couldn't help but start to confront Hill.

We can't let Xier be alone with this guy anymore!

At this time, Diana, who was unwilling to be lonely, also tried to join in the fun.

"Well, Herrschers really don't catch colds, right? I remember that I've never caught a cold before. Maybe it's because of the Herrscher core in my body~?"

After Diana said this, Bronya glanced at her expressionlessly.

"Fools don't catch colds, so Diana's situation cannot be used as a reference."

"What...you, you said I was an idiot?! Damn it, do you want to fight?"

"Bronya is just stating the facts."

"you......!"

Seeing that the girls' dispute seemed to be escalating, Mei was a little flustered, but still tried her best to intervene between the quarreling people.

"Well, everyone, please don't quarrel..."

"Shorty! Let's duel. I have tolerated you for a long time!"

"Bronya will not accept the challenge of a single-celled organism until Miss Hill's behavior is corrected."

"What did you say......?!"

"Correcting my behavior? Don't be so full of yourself, little girl."

"..."

Mei's weak voice trying to stop the fight was drowned out by the girls' arguing voices.

Benares frowned slightly, wanting to throw the three noisy people out of the room. However, before taking action, she looked at the silver-haired girl who closed her eyes and rested.

"Lady Shilis, don't you need to worry about them?"

"what happened?"

"It seems like they are starting to quarrel. Do you need your subordinates to stop them?"

"Why stop it?"

Shirley opened her eyes and looked at the noisy people beside the bed with a smile, with no intention of intervening.

"Although everyone is my friend, the relationship between them cannot be the same as that between me and them. Compared with the boring friendly relationship, I envy everyone's seamless relationship. Besides, this level of quarrel is not considered a quarrel for them at all."

"Sister Sis is right. It would be strange if Diana and Bronya didn't quarrel every day."

Kiana sat beside Shirley's bed, gently held the girl's arm, observed the dimming law imprint, and casually echoed a sentence.

"Besides, even if they bickered every day, weren't they still a perfect team when fighting the Herrscher of the Stone? Bella, their relationship won't be strange once you understand human emotions better."

"Hmm...I understand."

Hearing this, Benares nodded and said no more, but Kiana suddenly opened up.

"Sister Shilis, why did Dr. Tesla push your wheelchair away? It looks like it was just taken out of the warehouse, right?"

“That wheelchair…”

Shilis suddenly smiled bitterly.
