K424 of the Collapse World

This was just a minor incident for Xing and she quickly put it behind her.

When passing the last ward area, Xing suddenly stopped and looked at Room 0224 involuntarily.

From that ward, she vaguely heard the voice of a familiar person...

The girl hesitated for a moment, but decided to go and say hello.

But what Xing didn't expect was that when she approached the ward, she suddenly heard the girl's suppressed roar.

"I'm so angry! You have such a blockhead! Why can't you listen to others?!"

720 Reinvention of History

Before she was ready to eavesdrop, Xing was startled by the sudden angry voice.

"Do you know your current physical condition?! I wouldn't have said anything before, but now, after your mind has been shredded and glued together again, you still want to continue using your key of consciousness?"

“I’m sorry, Shirley. I’ve made up my mind. I won’t compromise on this one point. Also, I may not necessarily use the Key of God in the battle…”

"Even if I don't let you use it, you will definitely turn a deaf ear to it, right?"

"Siris..."

Two voices were clearly heard in the ward. One of them was the sister of Xi Lisi that Xing was most familiar with, and the other one seemed to be a Shenzhou Valkyrie who was very familiar with Xi Lisi. Her name seemed to be... Fu Hua? Yes, that was the name.

Although Xing didn't know what was going on, she could basically hear that the two seemed to be arguing about something...

"You idiot! Are you thinking of treating me as a consumable? What a joke! I will never accept such a thing!"

"Shiris, I don't think it's that serious..."

"I don't want to know what you think, I want to know what I think! I think you should return to the first grade of St. Freya's immediately and repeat it in the academy with Rosalia and the others!"

"You say that about me, but you are also like that..."

"You're so annoying! We are discussing your affairs now, don't bring up my health. My body is much healthier than yours!"

Even though her words were interrupted again and again, Fu Hua did not seem angry, and her calm tone remained as gentle as before.

"The Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire is a weapon Kevin once used. I know the impact of breaking the law better than you do, Shirley. If you insist on revoking my qualification to fight, then I can only make the information I have public."

"you......!"

As if something was poked at her sore spot, Shirley's voice became a little trembling. After this sentence, the ward fell into a long silence...

From the conversation just now, Xing keenly noticed several key words.

(The Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire? And the influence of the Law of Destruction... Remember that the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire should be the Key of God made from the core of the Seventh Herrscher, and the Law ability of the Seventh Herrscher - the Herrscher of Flame is exactly destruction and destruction! Fu Hua mentioned the body of Sister Shirley, and Sister Shirley was indeed injured in the battle with the Herrscher of Flame... The influence of the Law? Could it be that there will be some unknown sequelae?)

For some reason, Xing's mind seemed to become unusually clear, and many ideas came to her mind in an instant, as if she had just forgotten these things temporarily and remembered them again when stimulated by the key words...

Yes, that sense of déjà vu again.

If Xing thought about it carefully, she would realize that she had never learned any knowledge related to laws before, but the concept of "breaking laws" had become knowledge in her mind without her knowing when...

I don't know how long the oppressive silence in the ward lasted, but suddenly, Shirley's crying voice broke the silence.

“You…you idiot!!”

Hearing the footsteps approaching the door quickly, Xing immediately realized something and hurriedly stepped back from the door.

The wooden door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the silver-haired girl rushed out of the room, slammed the door heavily, and then covered her cheek and prepared to run to the other end of the corridor.

But the next moment, realizing that the road ahead was blocked by a short figure, Shilis discovered Xing standing at the door at a loss.

"Eh? Xing..."

She froze in place, obviously not expecting to meet this girl at this time.

Looking at the silver-haired girl who was even more flustered than herself, Xing frowned slightly and quickly calmed down.

"Sister Shilis...are you crying?"

"I......"

The silver-haired girl opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute, but seemed to feel the tears hanging on her cheeks. Finally, she raised her hands to cover her eyes, wiped them hard, and revealed a bitter smile.

"How annoying! You actually saw me..."

"Sister Shilis, are you okay? What happened?"

Looking at Shirley who was forcing a smile with tears in her eyes, Xing asked softly, and tried to reach out and gently hold the girl's right hand which was covered with pale marks.

She is shaking...

Xing raised her head and looked at Shirley's flickering eyes. She could easily see the pain that she had suppressed, as well as an expression that she couldn't tell whether it was worry or fear.

"Nothing, just a little quarrel... It's okay, don't worry~"

Shiris wiped her tears and answered calmly, stroking Xing's hair with her slightly trembling left hand.

As planned, Hillary went to the medical department this morning to visit Wendy, who regained consciousness two days ago. When she passed by Fu Hua's ward on the way, she walked in naturally and took the opportunity to visit her old friend who was recuperating.

However, for some reason... when she woke up this morning, she felt an inexplicable irritability, and a strong desire to destroy hit her defenses. Shiris had no idea what this feeling was...

When she met Fu Hua, nothing happened at first, just ordinary greetings and small talk. However, after thinking about the potential hidden dangers in Fu Hua, that strong feeling of irritation filled her heart again.

Then, the emotionally out-of-control Silis started the quarrel. It was called a quarrel, but in fact it was just her one-sided venting, releasing the painful impulse in her heart.

It was terrible. He lost his temper for no reason in front of Fu Hua, and was caught by Xing when he left crying...

Shirley regretted this, but there was nothing she could do. Words spoken could not be taken back, and time could not be reversed.

The regret after the impulse caused depression, making the girl even more depressed.

"Well, speaking of which..."

In order to hide her emotions, she had to pretend nothing happened and started chatting with Xing beside her.

"Why is Xing here?"

"Mom Cocolia asked me to come here for a physical examination. I made an appointment three days ago."

Having guessed what Shirley would ask, Xing spoke without hesitation. During the conversation, her eyes were always fixed on Shirley, and her piercing eyes seemed to be able to see through everything the silver-haired girl was hiding...

Shirley wanted to exchange a few more words with Xing, but the girl's penetrating eyes gradually made her feel unbearable.

The next moment, the silver-haired girl struggled to break free from Xing's hand, lowered her head deeply, and no longer dared to look into the girl's eyes...

"Well... since it's a scheduled medical checkup, I have to go as soon as possible..."

720 Reinvention History >>

"Sister Shilis, time is not tight here."

"Sorry... Xing. I have something important to deal with. Let's talk next time."

Avoiding the hand that Xing stretched out again, the silver-haired girl flashed past Xing and ran to the front of the corridor in a panic as if escaping...

In response, Xing just put down her hand silently and did not choose to chase after him.

Even if her time ability could easily catch up with the fleeing Shirley, it would be meaningless. Xing knew that Shirley had decided to hide something, and even the closest people could not make her speak...

Looking at the girl's receding back, Xing was a little dazed.

For the first time, she discovered that the thin and petite figure of the silver-haired girl was not as strong and reliable as she had imagined in the past. At this moment, Sister Shirley seemed just an ordinary little girl.

An ordinary little girl who is afraid of losing something important, fragile and sensitive...

·————————————·

The matter of Shirleys was always on Xing's mind. She no longer wanted to pay attention to the sense of déjà vu along the way, and just walked step by step to the scheduled medical examination room.

During the energy detection process, Xing always looked like her soul was out of her body. She just mechanically followed the instructions of the testers and cooperated with their inspection work.

"Okay, Miss Xing'er, it's over."

After hearing the examiner's voice, Xing climbed out of the scanning cabin without saying a word, not paying attention to the doctor's slightly subtle nickname. She looked indifferent as if she had some kind of biochip implanted...

Looking at Xing who was indifferent to others, the doctor just smiled.

"Really... That woman Cocolia has been emphasizing to us how irritable and easily angered that little girl named Xing is. Seeing is believing. Xing'er is clearly a good girl. How could she be as bad as she said? At most, she is just a little shy..."

"..."

Listening to the doctor's coaxing whisper like a child, Xing couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes, but she still said nothing.

Although it’s a bit unpleasant to be treated as a good girl like Xier, who doesn’t like to be treated gently by strangers?

"Okay, little girl, don't be so nervous. Your test results will be out soon. But based on my experience, there shouldn't be any big problems."

Looking at the electronic chart being generated, the doctor casually sat down on the chair next to Xing, smiling at this cold and arrogant iceberg girl.

"You have a very beautiful stigmata. It shouldn't be an artificial stigmata mass-produced by Destiny, right?"

"......Um."

"Sure enough, such a complete pattern and super template data can only be a natural original stigmata... It's really amazing. No wonder such a young child can become a B-rank Valkyrie who can fight independently."

As he spoke, the doctor took a report sheet handed to him by his assistant and spread the paper in front of Xing.

"This is......?"

"Here, your stigmata appear externally. It's a gorgeous retro clock-shaped pattern. You can even see every scale clearly. It looks like a logo designed by an art company! How can those artificial stigmata that harm people's health compare to this?"

"..."

Xing stared at the huge rune displayed on the drawing and did not hear the female doctor's praise at all.

She remembered that her stigmata should be two abstract and twisted pointers connected by several unclear gears, barely forming a three-way stigmata pattern, rather than a simple clock that almost covered her entire back, a gorgeous structure combined with complex mechanical gears...

"Oh! The energy flow and strength of the Holy String Factor itself is already dozens of times that of ordinary artificial stigmata... No, perhaps even higher! Little girl, how did the Anti-Entropy Organization train you?"

"..."

Tens of times stronger than the artificial stigmata? But from memory, the energy of his own stigmata should be weaker than the artificial stigmata of the Valkyrie, but there is a huge difference in structure.

In other words, is it really the stigma itself that has undergone a change?

"Well, Xiao Xing'er really doesn't like to talk... Oh, that's it. I've already handed you the medical report. As for the specific parameters, except for the positive value that is far above the average, there is no abnormality."

Nothing unusual... huh?

Xing was silent for a moment, stood up holding the medical examination form, bowed slightly to the doctor in front of her, then walked out of the door and left the special testing department.

·————————————·

At the same time, in the White Star Bar in the center of the branch, Asakura Miyuki sat alone at the table in the corner, staring at the terminal in her hand, silent for a long time...

The raven had left, leaving the final decision to her.

"In the final stage of the Imaginary Drift Plan, Silis Kaslana will inevitably go to the moon alone to fight against the Herrscher of the End. What do you think will be the fate that awaits her after the entire planet disappears?"

"The World Serpent's plan may change her fate. But as a deal, you must pay a price for it."

"Think about it carefully, Asakura Miyuki. How are you going to face her? What can you do for her..."

Shenxue silently opened the terminal and looked at the latest communication message. The distracting thoughts in her mind seemed like a myriad of intertwined and untangled threads, hanging her right above an endless abyss.

Find the detection nodes of the Far East Branch's security system and send them to the encrypted network specified by the message. In this way, the communication blockade against the World Serpent Organization will be lifted, and the Lord of the World Serpent will come in person to have a real negotiation with Shiris with sincerity.

No matter what the reason, if I take this step, it will undoubtedly mean a second betrayal. I will lose all of Shirley's trust. The girl will no longer smile at me and will only regard me as the most shameful traitor...

This kind of thing was obviously what Asakura Miyuki feared the most. Not to mention becoming Shiris's enemy, even if she couldn't see her for just a few days, she would feel uneasy, as if an important piece of her heart was missing.

At this time, the girl's vertical pupils slowly dilated.

(But if this is the only way to keep her alive...)

Then there is no need to hesitate! Even if the spear of judgment pierces her throat and nails her to the pillar of shame called betrayer, Asakura Miyuki will do this, no matter what.

How many times...

The girl has made her choice.

Sacrifice everything for her arbitrary and selfish love.

721 The Second Law

With the medical examination report she had just received, Xing returned to the Valkyrie Apartment in the Far East Branch and locked herself in the room.

Since the test results showed nothing abnormal, there was no need to report this to Cocolia immediately. Besides, she was really tired...

No one can turn a blind eye to those things.

The inexplicable feeling of tiredness when she woke up in the morning, the unusual sense of déjà vu brought by what she saw along the way, and the strange evolution of the stigmata... Xing was certain that something had definitely happened to her.

However, apart from the changes in the stigmata, those feelings were essentially just her own feelings. Even if she told others about them, they would probably just treat them as fatigue hallucinations, and then she would be advised to "rest more."
