K424 of the Collapse World

This was news she had never heard before.

"Don't worry about what I mean. The most important thing is what you think, Theresa."

"Soul...right?"

Shilis didn't answer, but just smiled at the silver-haired girl in front of her.

"You're right, Shilis...If Cecilia's consciousness is really in her, then I do need to go meet her."

After a moment of silence, the silver-haired girl sighed and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had made a decision. However, before she could decide on the next move, Theresa hesitated again.

"Wait a minute...you said she has no memories of the past? Does that mean she may not remember me at all? If I am just a stranger to her, do I really need to intervene in her life?"

As her mood fell into depression again, the nearly fifty-year-old Loli looked at Shirley pitifully, and obviously gave up her previous decision...

"Theresa, answer me a question."

"what?"

"If Cecilia suddenly became ill and lost her memory 20 years ago, no one would remember her. At this time, would you also have such entanglements and stay away from her?"

"Nonsense! How could I possibly...eh...?"

Theresa was about to get angry, but suddenly she realized something and her expression froze.

yes......

If the new Cecilia is really her original self, then doesn't her current condition mean she has just lost her memory?

Seeing Theresa's changing expression, Shirley put her hand on her forehead and became more and more suspicious of the branch chief's IQ.

Never mind, maybe she's just not good at thinking about such emotional things...

"Besides, why do you think she won't recognize you? The things that maintain the bond between people are not just memories..."

"..."

The girl blinked, her eyes wavering between the door and the documents on the desk. In response, Shirley just smiled helplessly.

"I really can't do anything about you. I'll make an exception and help you this time~"

As she spoke, the girl walked around the desk, squeezed past Theresa and sat on the chair.

"Siris?"

"Go meet her. I'll take care of these documents for you."

As she spoke, the girl skillfully picked up the pen and opened the thick folder in front of her.

"You're going to take care of it? But these are..."

"Don't forget, when I first entered Anti-Entropy, I worked as a civilian at Tesla's base for two years. This kind of official business is not difficult for me."

As she spoke, Shilis had already signed Theresa's name on the next document and turned to the next page.

Theresa picked up the document with concern and read it carefully.

An application to increase the order for nanotube materials... Well, this is indeed the branch's next procurement plan. It seems that Shirley really understands this aspect of the work.

Theresa felt relieved and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her with gratitude.

I heard a rumor before that it was Shiris who caused Dr. Tesla's company to go bankrupt. Now it seems that this is just a rumor...

"Um...thank you so much, Shirley."

"You're welcome. I just want to see a harmonious and happy family as soon as possible... Principal, can you complete this task?"

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

After saying this, Theresa bowed to the girl and ran out in a hurry, forgetting even to take the nun's headscarf hanging on the hanger.

Looking at Theresa's reckless back, Shirley couldn't help but laugh. It must be said that this school principal is no different from a 12-year-old real loli.

Sure enough, no matter how rich the experience is, it can't change some things. In this regard, I really envy her a little bit...

Sitting alone in the empty office, Shirley closed her eyes, stroked the lines engraved on her right arm, and sighed softly.

Cecilia... If you are really Cecilia, please take good care of those two children. But in the final analysis, this is your duty as a mother, right?

The time for peace and quiet is running out, so it is better not to leave any regrets. After all, when the quantum amplifier is completed, "Honkai" will not sit idly by and watch the Eye of the Abyss be activated.

By that time, what will be the survival rate of all mankind?

Anyway, it is definitely much higher than the "Stigmata Project"...if it can succeed.

The next goal is to retake Haiyuan City. I just hope Kevin won't come and cause trouble again this time.

When Kevin has fully adapted to Chiyou's genes, it will definitely not be as easy to deal with as last time, but if necessary...

The girl slowly clenched her fists.

"Kevin Kaslana, I hope you haven't gone completely crazy. Exchanging our lives in a civil war would be a losing proposition for both of us..."

707 Snake Trace

In the temporary holding room of the Far East Branch, Asakura Miyuki opened her eyes wide and looked at the documents in front of her in disbelief.

"...What does this mean?"

"Bonus paperwork, sign your name here, and you're free."

The purple-haired girl in the captain's uniform said as she handed a pen to Asakura Miyuki.

"..."

Staring blankly at the Penglai Temple Jiuxiao in front of her, Shenxue's eyes were full of confusion, and she did not take the pen immediately.

She didn't understand why a shameful betrayer like herself could be acquitted...

"You mean...I can leave now?"

"Ms. Shirley volunteered to be your guarantor, and her application has been approved. In other words, Shirley is willing to take responsibility for all your actions in the Far East, so you can move freely now."

Upon hearing this, Asakura Miyuki opened her eyes wide again, her vertical pupils shrank into a line, and the cat ears on her head bulged up.

"Guarantor? But why would she..."

"You should ask her yourself about this kind of thing."

Seeing that Asakura Miyuki was hesitant, Jiuxiao directly stuffed the pen into her hand and turned around and walked out of the isolation room.

"..."

Asakura Miyuki lowered her head and silently looked at the documents on the table. In the guarantor column at the bottom, the characters "Silis Kaslana" were written in beautiful handwriting, which was the name engraved deep in her mind.

"Lady Shilis..."

After a long while, she trembled as she picked up the pen, moved it to the blank space on the lower left, and wrote her name...

·————————————·

Twenty minutes later, after completing all the formalities, Asakura Miyuki walked out of the shelter's gate. She had changed into her original clothes, which was the combat uniform she wore when she attacked Hyperion two weeks ago.

After completing the cancellation of her number in a daze and cooperating with the staff in collecting information, her detention life came to an end.

However, Asakura Miyuki did not feel very excited, and even had no sense of reality about it.

Although the last conversation with Shirley,

Xue has understood what happened to her. However, the memory rewrite from the Herrscher of the Heart always remains in her mind, and is engraved into the depths of her soul along with the sin...

What have you done before?

He sneaked into Saint Freya with a group of traitorous Valkyries and tried to kidnap Dr. Iselin Levicius; and broke into the bridge of the Hyperion and attacked the captain, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao...

Although these were all caused by her brainwashing by the Herrscher of the Heart, these crimes were enough to get a Pseudo-Herrscher with a sensitive identity sentenced to death.

but......

Once again...once again I was forgiven by her.

Asakura Miyuki bit her lip. She didn't know whether she should be happy about this, happy that she still trusted her like this; or should she feel guilty about this, because she messed up the mission again and failed everyone's trust...

Sirius, how can I repay your trust? How can I, such a useless person, be qualified to stay by your side?

The girl squinted at the sun hanging high in the sky and raised her hands to cover her head, somewhat uncomfortable with the bright and warm sunlight.

A strong sense of guilt filled my heart, as if I didn't even deserve the sunshine...

At this moment, Miyuki's tail, which was swinging unconsciously, suddenly felt a familiar strange touch.

"...?"

Asakura Miyuki turned her head subconsciously and met a pair of bright pink pupils...

It was a tall girl in black clothes and gray hair, standing behind him. She stretched out one hand and pinched her tail, looking at the furry cat tail curiously.

After noticing Miyuki's gaze, she instinctively raised her head. After two seconds of staring at each other, a hint of embarrassment gradually appeared in the gray-haired girl's slightly sharp red eyes.

"This... is a real tail?"

"..."

"I'm so sorry! I thought it was just some kind of decoration, so I just..."

Following Shenxue's indifferent look, the girl in black quickly let go of the tail in her hand and took the initiative to speak despite the depressing atmosphere.

"..."

Shenxue still said nothing, but slowly retracted her tail behind her and looked at the other person indifferently.

She was not angry, but just remembered the past. In her spare time, Shilis and her sisters always liked to pinch their tails and ears like this, but now that she has committed a serious crime, is there still a chance to go back to the past...

By the way, who is this person?

Facing Asakura Miyuki's expressionless gaze, Raven suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

"Um... excuse me?"

"..."

Looking at the black-haired girl with cat ears and a cat tail in front of him, Raven just felt a headache.

After being forced to sign a hiring agreement with Shiris, Raven stayed at the Far East Branch's base. Even though she had these multiple identities behind the scenes, she was already a mercenary of the Far East Branch. Therefore, Raven, who was not allowed to leave the island base without permission due to the agreement, could only patrol (wander around) the perimeter of the huge base to complete her mission.

707 Snake Trace >>

Raven didn't know why Shilis let her do whatever she wanted. Although she felt a little uneasy about the lack of intelligence, it was easier for her to accept than staying in a small detention room.

Today, while on her daily "patrol" in the experimental department's section, she saw a Valkyrie who seemed to be cosplaying as a cat girl from afar, and she suddenly wanted to strike up a conversation with her to see if she could get some useful information out of her...

Well, let’s say hello in a special way first, it’s best to leave a deep impression.

After making this decision, the raven quietly approached the girl's back and reached out for the very realistic tail...

However, when she grasped the girl's tail and felt its slightly warm softness, she instantly realized that things were not that simple.

Body temperature, bones, the pulsation of blood vessels...

...It's actually a real tail?!

Speaking of which, in addition to the anti-entropy demon wolf Fenrir, there seems to be a pseudo-Herserker with Honkai gene mutation among the Herrscher followers of Silis Kaslana. Like a small number of dead soldiers, he has evolved some external limbs of animals...

What a coincidence that I ran into him.

And judging from the situation, this pseudo-hersr lady doesn't seem to be in a very good mood. If we are not careful, we might end up making things worse.

However, this is also an opportunity...

Raven's eyes flickered and a smile soon appeared on his face.

"I'm really sorry for offending you just now. By the way... I'm a mercenary under the Far East Branch, and I'm temporarily working for Ms. Shiris."

Hearing this, Asakura Miyuki blinked, and a hint of curiosity finally appeared in her eyes.

"mercenary?"

"Yes, since I just joined the Far East branch, I don't know much about it.

I know the rules here and I accidentally offended the lady. How about this, as compensation, I will buy you a drink?"

"I'm not yet of age and can't drink."

"Well...it doesn't necessarily have to be alcohol, you can drink something else."

Asakura Miyuki thought about it and felt that it was indeed necessary to relax before adjusting her mindset to face Shirley.

It just so happens that if it's a stranger, there won't be any psychological pressure...
