K424 of the Collapse World

Lan Feng thought that Cocolia also knew that Xing trusted him very much, so there shouldn't be any problem doing this at this time.

But in fact, seeing Lan Feng comforting Xing, Cocolia felt a little confused again.

(That gentle look, is it her acting? Shiris… Which one is the real her? But, this girl…)

She could actually face the children whose parents were killed by her so calmly. With this state of mind, could she really live with those children?

the other side……

"Sister Shilis... just now, she looked like a stone statue... It was really scary..."

"Stone statue?"

Lan Feng was a little confused and just thought Xing was hallucinating.

"That's just your illusion. Look carefully. She won't hurt you. She just wants to ask you a few questions."

"Is...is that so?"

Xing looked a little skeptical, but still chose to believe Lan Feng's words.

"Ms. Cocolia, you...?"

Seeing Xing calm down

, Lan Feng turned to Cocolia, but saw that the other party just shook his head.

"No need. It seems that she is unaware of her previous abnormal condition. We will examine her in detail later. In short, she seems to have some mental problems. During this period, the task of taking care of her is left to you."

As she spoke, Cocolia looked at Lan Feng's tattered clothes, frowned slightly, then walked out of the room and said something to a soldier outside the door.

After a while, Cocolia came back to the room carrying a bag.

"This is……?"

Lan Feng was a little surprised when he saw what Cocolia handed to him. It was a simple dress...

Dress... ?

Although Lan Feng had thought about this day before, he didn't expect it to come so suddenly...

"Do you think that what you are wearing now can still be considered clothes? Besides, it is completely wet. Aren't you worried about getting sick if you continue to wear it? Change into this clothes."

"……I see."

Although it felt strange, it was at least a normal piece of clothing. Lan Feng was silent for a moment, then he suppressed his shyness and took off the clothes in front of Cocolia with an expressionless face, completely exposing his body covered with light scars.

(I shouldn’t show my aversion to women’s clothing in front of Cocolia…)

Picking up the dress, Lan Feng put it on awkwardly. Looking at Lan Feng's actions, Cocolia did not find it strange. For a child like this who did not even have a resident card and lived on the edge of the city, judging from her previous dress, it was clear that she had not worn normal clothes for a long time.

In fact, since the structure of these clothes is relatively simple, it didn't take Lan Feng much time to put them on. Cocolia looked at the girl in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm... looks good."

The girl with long purple hair was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a light yellow pleated skirt, with white stockings on her slender legs. As for shoes, they were a pair of small black leather shoes.

Overall, it looks pretty cute...

Looking down at her clothes, Lan Feng bashfully clamped her legs together. The skin on her legs exposed between her short skirt and long socks felt cold, and it was hard for her to get used to this feeling for a while...

(Hmm… This is really uncomfortable! Never mind… Anyway, I’ll have to get used to this kind of thing sooner or later…)

Forcing himself to ignore the discomfort in his body, Lan Feng looked at Cocolia indifferently, waiting for her next words.

At this time, Cocolia was looking carefully at the girl in front of her. It must be said that Lan Feng, who changed into a girl's dress, looked really eye-catching.

The only flaw was a faint white scar exposed on her left arm.

Cocolia looked at the scars on Lan Feng's body with some regret, bent down, and helped Lan Feng straighten his collar.

"Shilis, we are leaving tomorrow."

Set off?

Lan Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and then he realized. In other words, he would set off for the Cocolia Orphanage tomorrow?

At this time, Cocolia turned to Xing. To be honest, she had never communicated directly with this girl...

——Beep beep…

"Tsk, at this very moment..."

After hearing the voice of the communication, Kokolia had to give up her previous plan.

"Anyway, you guys should take a good rest for the rest of the day."

After saying that, she turned around and left the room quickly. Lan Feng looked at Cocolia's back thoughtfully.

What on earth am I doing now...

·————————————·

……

"Cocolia, are you out? Come back soon, we have a new plan to start..."

……

"…About that. The name of the experiment is x–10…"

"I understand……"

After ending the call, Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Is it finally time to start that experiment...

Cocolia didn't expect that the x-10 experiment would be put on the agenda so early.

An experiment to allow children born with Honkai antibodies to have the ability to completely resist Honkai.

There may be many sacrifices, but as long as we can find a way to adapt to Honkai energy, we can popularize it on a large scale, and then...

Even if we can completely defeat Honkai, it's not impossible, right?

061 Cocolia Orphanage

The next day...

"You still can't bear to throw that away..."

Standing next to a car, Cocolia looked at Lan Feng's outfit and said with some amusement, but she didn't care about anything.

Lan Feng was still wearing the dress that Cocolia had given her yesterday, but she also put on the coat she had worn before after washing it. The grey coat was not damaged, and paired with the dress inside, it did not look weird, and on the contrary, it covered the scars on her arms.

Although there is still a lot of water on the ground,

The sky was completely clear. Early in the morning, Lan Feng ended his sleep, got up and packed his luggage.

There was nothing wrong with Xing's clothes, so after washing the blood stains off them, she let the girl wear them again.

The night before, Xing was surprisingly quiet, just lying on the windowsill, looking at the scattered pedestrians on the street with interest. Although Lan Feng was puzzled about this, he did not ask. It would be a good thing if this child could have more ideas of her own.

Lan Feng doesn't have the confidence to become Xing's guardian.

At this moment, looking at the high-end car in front of him that was out of tune with the environment, although he didn't recognize the logo on the car at all, Lan Feng could clearly feel the surprised or jealous eyes of the people around him scanning him and others.

"Ms. Cocolia, are we the only ones leaving? What about those soldiers under your command?"

Lan Feng was a little concerned because he didn't see the soldiers who had been following Cocolia before, so he asked Cocolia in front of him.

"They? They were transferred from nearby just to prevent any dangerous factors. But... it seems that my worries are unnecessary. Shilis is a good child."

(I see. My guess was correct. Cocolia was really worried that I would run away...)

Indeed, under normal circumstances, it would be quite easy for several adult special forces men to subdue a young soldier of their own age.

Cocolia walked to the passenger seat and opened the door.

"Get in the car, we're heading to the airport next, and we should be able to reach our destination before noon."

"Yes."

Lan Feng responded meticulously, and then took Xing and got into the car. At Cocolia's signal, the driver started the engine, and the car began to move forward smoothly.

"Huh... Shilis, don't always have a stern face, you should smile more often."

Looking at the clear sky, Cocolia felt more relaxed, so she couldn't help wanting to chat with the girl sitting in the back seat.

"…Laughing? That's just a disguise. Miss Cocolia, do you want to see it?"

Cocolia's words made Lan Feng a little confused. Although it sounded like just a casual chat, Lan Feng did not dare to let her guard down. She didn't know if this woman was planning something again, so she answered casually and waited for her reaction.

"Before that, it seems that I need to correct something. I should have said before that I will be your mother, so, what should you call me?"

Hearing Cocolia's somewhat joking voice, Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted. She naturally knew what Cocolia wanted to say.

(What does she mean? Does she really like being a mother? Damn it...! But, there is nothing I can do...)

"Mother mother..."

Although Cocolia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could not see Lan Feng's expression, she could tell from her awkward tone that the girl was not willing to speak.

"You sound very reluctant... But it seems that you have met your biological mother, right?"

"..."

"Okay, I won't trouble you anymore. Speaking of which, Shirley, there is something I am concerned about..."

"What is it?"

Hearing this, Lan Feng became a little nervous. Could it be that she had seen through some flaw in him and wanted to test him?

"Did the military department you belong to send only you to carry out the mission?"

"……Yes."

Lan Feng answered in a low voice and secretly increased his vigilance.

"Oh, I see……"

However, Cocolia just sighed casually and didn't say anything else. Lan Feng frowned, not knowing what she meant.

Looking at Cocolia, I saw that this blonde woman had completely relaxed her body, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was enjoying the sunshine.

(Is it really just small talk?)

When she came to this conclusion, Lan Feng felt incredible. Speaking of which, after being with Cocolia, her nerves have been tense, and she has completely lost the comfort she felt when wandering alone. She was a little worried that if this continued, she might become paranoid...

"Shiris, do you know about Honkai?"

Suddenly, Kokolia's voice sounded again. Lan Feng thought about it. The existence of Honkai was already common knowledge in this world. Why did Kokolia ask such a question?

"Ah."

"So, have you ever fought against 'Honkai'?"

Hearing this question, Lan Feng was about to say no, but suddenly he remembered some scars on his body. Who knows if Cocolia can see that those are the wounds caused by the wing shell of the Honkai Beast...

"Had."

"Oh~? What happened then? Was it an attack by Honkai beasts?"

Cocolia still looked lazy and seemed to be just chatting casually. But Lan Feng felt that things were not that simple. Cocolia should be collecting information about him.

"Yes... I fought against Honkai in the wild, and the captain at that time told me that the monster was called an Advance Honkai Beast..."

Lan Feng tried hard to make up a lie and explain to Cocolia. She felt her brain throbbing with pain. At this moment, she began to regret her decision to follow Cocolia...

Lan Feng was busy answering Cocolia's questions, so he didn't notice that Xing, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, was calmly looking at the pedestrians outside the windshield. She was still mumbling to herself in a low voice...

"A pig wearing a gentleman's hat, a pink piranha plant, a fox with two tongues... Ah, another banknote with a mouth..."

The girl muttered to herself with little interest. She had already gotten used to these bizarre phenomena. At this moment, a dark golden light flowed in Xing's right eye, which was still slowly expanding and suddenly lit up...

"Eh?"

Lan Feng was startled and turned to look at Xing beside him, but he didn't see anything strange.

(What was that just now?)

"What's wrong, Shiris?"

"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to clean up the traces I left at the hotel."

Changing the subject unnoticeably, Lan Feng frowned and looked at Xing who had her back to him, thinking about the strangeness he felt at that moment.

If it was just once or twice it would be fine, but this was the nth time she had sensed that strange fluctuation from Xing's body?
