K424 of the Collapse World

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded from the side, and the light screen of Cocolia on the World Snake side shook violently, as if someone had taken the terminal from her hand.

The next moment, in Gray Snake's surprised silence, the familiar silver-haired girl appeared on the terminal screen...

716 Under the Calm

"You are as despicable as ever, World Serpent."

Looking at the gray snake that she had met once before on the terminal screen, although Shiris

He greeted her with a calm expression, but his eyes, like swords, almost pierced into Gray Snake's heart through the screen.

However, even though he was being stared at by that sharp gaze, Gray Snake was not panicked at all. After recovering from the shock just now, he quickly spoke again.

"Lawyer of Constraints... We have no intention of being hostile to you this time. The Lord's order is to create an opportunity for an equal dialogue. My mission is only to complete this order. There is no need to lie to you on this point."

Although the appearance of Shilis disrupted the original plan, Gray Snake did not give up the negotiation. He began to try to reveal some facts to the girl in order to complete his mission.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

"Oh? Kevin wants to talk to me as an equal? ​​Threatening someone's life to talk to him? Don't forget what you did two weeks ago. Do you think I will easily trust someone who has repeatedly tried to kill himself?"

"A new threat will come soon. If you still decide to act on impulse, then by then, not to mention our World Serpent Organization, your destiny and anti-entropy will not be able to escape the disaster..."

"What does the destruction of the World Snake have to do with me? Rather than cooperating in intrigue, I would rather you disappear on the spot! If the World Snake can explode on the spot, I will go to the Cathedral of Destiny right now to set off firecrackers to celebrate!"

"Lawbearer of Constraints, you will not reject us. Just as you released and hired the ravens, you will not give up an opportunity to unite with the World Serpent..."

"How do you know I won't refuse? Stop using that knowing tone of yours to disgust me! If that old popsicle guy really wanted to talk to me, why didn't he come to me in person instead of sending a little thug like you to threaten my relatives and friends?"

"Please calm down, I don't come here with any bad intentions..."

"Who was threatening Cocolia to kill all the children she left in the laboratory?"

Shirley shook her head and laughed sarcastically. She was a little surprised by the attitude of the World Snake this time. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely agree to the other party's request and then see what tricks Kevin was up to. But now that Wendy's matter had not been resolved, she was too lazy to waste time practicing Tai Chi with the World Snake.

"If you dare to get close to the Anti-Entropy Branch's Arctic Ocean base, I will pull out all of you water snakes, make snake soup, and then feed it to your ancestors!"

"But the Lord should actually be your old..."

"Shut up! Next time, remember to ask that old popsicle guy to come over and talk to you in person. I have something else to do right now, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

Ignoring Gray Snake's complaints, Shiris hung up the communication screen with a click, angrily threw the terminal machine on the table, and turned to look at the stunned Cocolia.

"Did those guys say anything else?"

"ah.....?"

As the girl spoke, Cocolia blinked as if waking up from a dream, and looked at the girl from head to toe as if she was meeting Shirley for the first time.

But in the end, what surprised her the most was the sudden visit of Shirley. A second before the terminal was snatched away, Cocolia didn't even realize that someone had walked into her room...

"...No, Gray Snake is just using the Arctic Ocean base as a threat. Shilis, why are you here?"

"I needed your help with something, and then I accidentally heard your voice outside the door."

After finally waiting for Cocolia's answer, the girl responded naturally, then frowned slightly.

"You should have told us this in advance! Even if the test subject cannot adapt to normal temperature, it is not difficult to build an ice cellar underground. I will issue a mission and ask the Valkyrie on standby to go to the Anti-Entropy Arctic Ocean Base."

Xili said this without any pause, and seemed not to intend to mention more about the human experiments.

"Also, my dear 'mother', next time you receive a harassing call like this, you should just block the other party and hang up, or greet the other party's entire family before hanging up."

"Uh......"

Cocolia seemed a little stunned when she heard the girl's speech, which was totally different from her usual one. Although Shiris didn't mention the experiment at all, Cocolia herself couldn't understand it.

She heard the conversation between herself and the gray snake...

In other words, she knew what she had done before, implanting the genes of the Honkai beast into her young child.

"Sirius, you...don't you want to ask something?"

"What are you asking? Your X-series experiment?"

"..."

"I'm sorry, but I don't like digging into other people's dark history. As long as it has nothing to do with the people around me, I don't care how many human experiments you've done or how many innocent people you've killed."

The girl said calmly without changing her expression, and casually put her right hand in her pocket.

"Except for Xi'er and Xing, I don't know the children you experimented on. They were once children in your orphanage, and you were once their mother. Perhaps, there is no need for others to condemn you. The guilt you feel is the best punishment.

Penalty."

"..."

Cocolia lowered her head, as if lost in memories. Looking at the woman's turbulent eyes, Shilis clapped her hands helplessly.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Can you do me a favor?"

"what?"

"It's like this. The erosion of the laws in Wendy's body has become difficult to control. She needs to undergo surgery to remove her Herrscher core to maintain her life. Tesla told me that you have the knowledge and skills in this area..."

Shirley explained it briefly and looked at Cocolia expectantly.

"Can you strip Wendy of her Desire Gem while keeping her alive?"

"This... should be possible in theory. Leave it to me."

After a brief hesitation, Cocolia replied in a low voice. Although she wanted to show her usual smile in front of Shirley, she was helpless and couldn't do it at this moment...

"Then I'll leave it to you~"

The girl came skipping forward, took Cocolia's hand and shook it, with a sincere smile of relief.

"Tesla has arranged for the surgery to take place in the medical department. I'll take you there. Wendy's condition is not optimistic. If possible, I hope to end her suffering as soon as possible."

"Shiris, your way of saying this always feels a bit weird..."

"Don't worry about these illusions. Also, don't worry about the World Serpents. Just continue to draw a clear line with them as before. Don't worry about the terminal harassment. Leave everything else to me."

Silis said confidently, giving a thumbs up. Although the girl's body was so thin and petite, her voice always gave people a sense of reliability...

After a brief silence, Kokolia gradually smiled.

I was actually comforted by my former daughter?

Looking at the girl walking beside her, Cocolia's smile began to become ambiguous.

716 Under the Calmness >>

"Siris."

"Ok?"

"I have accepted your commission. Can you promise me one thing?"

"Eh? Do you need my help too?"

"It's not a favor, it's just a small reward."

As she spoke, Cocolia smiled like a fox.

"When the peeling operation of the Desire Gem is over, can you seriously call me 'Mom'?"

The silver-haired girl's expression froze.

"Ah? This is a little bit..."

"What's wrong? I just need you to say one word. Isn't it easy to repay you? Even if you have a lot of fake identities, Silis North was once my daughter."

"Wouldn't it be better to call her 'Mother' as I did just now?"

"Do you think I can't tell that you're just teasing me? I've already told you to be serious about it."

"Well......"

When Shiris took Cocolia away, the girls from the orphanage also arrived at the destination of their visit - the training ground for advanced fighters.

"Look, Bronya! That Valkyrie is as strong as an imperial Ganesha!"

"Shh...don't be so loud, Rosalia. If someone hears you, you'll be dead."

"Why do some Valkyries have to build muscle? Sister Fu Hua doesn't have any muscles, but she shouldn't have any problem beating ten of them, right?"

"Lilia, you too, I told you to keep your voice down..."

Among the mediocre Valkyries, there are many who try to increase their physical strength by exercising their muscles, like the B-level Valkyrie Lewis. After all, not everyone has excellent genes like the Kaslana family.

But these Valkyries who gave up their appearance for the sake of their duties seemed very strange to the Vodka twins who were used to seeing beautiful Valkyries...

However, in the eyes of the Valkyries who had never seen them, these two girls with horns and long tails were equally strange.

Xing hardly expressed any opinions, just following the team silently, only occasionally agreeing. In the second half of the journey, she seemed to have realized something again, and became absent-minded again, as if she was thinking hard about something.

Before they knew it, the girls' team had arrived at the public training ground area.

"Eh? That seems to be..."

Sitting on some chairs in the rest area not far away, Bronya and Seele saw some familiar faces.

"Miss Charlotte, your tail hair has fallen to the ground again."

Standing in front of the red-haired, wolf-eared girl, Benares, holding cleaning tools, frowned and held a red filament in his hand.

No one knows why the famous dragon Benares chose a part-time job like cleaning the training ground. After finding a few red filaments in the tidy field, she almost

Without thinking, he came in front of a certain wolf girl and locked his eyes on her fluffy red tail.

"Please understand my job. If your tail is losing hair, I suggest you see a doctor or don't come to this kind of public training ground..."

"You said this is my tail hair?"

Charlotte opened her squinting eyes a little, and when she saw the red silk in Benares' hand, she immediately got angry.

"Are you stupid? How can a wolf's tail be so long? Do you think I'm a horse?! That's clearly hair!"

"Hair? That should be you..."

"It's not mine! You stupid dragon, open your eyes and look carefully. My hair and fur are orange-red in color, not this dark!"

Charlotte retorted unhappily, but looking at the bewildered Bella, she sighed softly. Then, she looked carefully at the hair in Bella's hand again, and her eyes immediately fixed.

"Wait, isn't this relatively dark wine red the hair of Colonel Wuliangta?"

"Eh? So this is Himeko-sama's hair?"

"Yes, excluding our special gene-special Honkai creatures and the young Valkyrie, looking at the entire Far East branch, only old ladies like her who are approaching their thirties will lose their hair..."

— crunch!

However, just as Charlotte finished her words, a mournful sound of metal equipment was heard from the training ground.

The red-haired woman, with her back to the rest area, held a 500kg barbell in both hands. At this moment, the metal bar was deeply sunken where she held it, and the solid lever was deformed like plasticine by her fleshy palms. The solid and tough metal had been squeezed out from between her fingers...

Although Valkyrie officers have their own training room, Jizi occasionally comes to the training grounds of ordinary Valkyries to experience the atmosphere of the past.

But today, she might not be in a good mood.

The next moment, the red-haired woman put the barbell back on the rack, slowly turned around, and looked at the two girls in the rest area with an extremely bright smile on her face.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Bella, I seem to have caused you trouble~"

Jizi walked over step by step, looking at the bewildered Bella and the ashen-faced Charlotte. Her overly gentle tone was nothing like the capable and strict Valkyrie commander she usually was, which made people shudder...

Gently pinching the hair in Bella's hand, the fallen hair instantly turned into ashes in Ji Zi's hand.

"I'm sorry to affect your work, Miss Bella. I will try to go to the private training ground in the future."

"Ah... no, that..."

Facing Ji Zi's terrifying aura, Bella was already somewhat at a loss. But beside her, Charlotte was under even more terrifying pressure...

Wuliangta Jizi was actually right next to me, how unlucky was I? !

She would not have cared about it before, but as she became more familiar with the people of Saint Freya, Charlotte also learned about some taboos of the Far East branch and the terrible consequences that might result.

One of them is, don't mention your age to a certain older Valkyrie...

"Well~ Sister Jizi, I..."

Facing Ji Zi, who was shrouded in a dark aura, Charlotte was about to use her perfect cute tactics, but Ji Zi's hand was already on her shoulder.

"Ah~ Dear Miss Charlotte, to be honest, I admire Miss Fenrir who possesses the abilities of a Pseudo-Herrscher and a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, so can I invite you to a mock battle?"

"Well...but I'm not in a good mood today..."
