K424 of the Collapse World

Thinking of the rumored bad character of Xing, and the haggard appearance of this girl who seemed to be mentally unstable, Kiana immediately became alert.

Just imagine, a cruel, violent, and easily emotionally out-of-control young girl suddenly uses combat skills for no reason in the city. What does this mean?

The next moment, Kiana quickly stepped forward, her right hand already clasped on Xing's shoulder. As long as the girl in front of her made any unusual movement, she would subdue her instantly.

"Did you do this?"

Kiana asked in a deep voice, her seemingly calm eyes already full of vigilance. At the same time, a huge amount of Honkai energy was already flowing through her body, stimulating the loose cells to enter combat mode.

She had to defend herself against the only suspect at the scene.

"Please answer my question, Miss Mal."

Although she spoke in a low voice, Kiana could hear her own voice echoing wildly in her mind, as if she was in an extremely small enclosed space, with invisible walls confining her voice to herself...

"..."

As Kiana asked again, the girl with dull eyes slowly came back to her senses.

Although she still couldn't figure out why Kiana could resume her movements while in a static space, she knew that now was not the time to dwell on such things...

Xing blinked, first glancing at the silver-haired girl's hand on her shoulder, then meeting Kiana's wary eyes.

"Ah......"

A subtle smile appeared on the girl's face.

It seems that Miss Kiana first suspected me...

"What if I say no?"

"Then please explain to me why the space and time outside of us is frozen?"

Kiana continued to ask, her right hand still on Xing's thin shoulder, her fingertips gently pressing on the joints of the bones.

"As far as I know, only your ability can stop time, and you can indeed move yourself during the stopped time."

"what......"

As if she didn't notice Kiana's actions, Xing still maintained her slightly mocking smile, her eyes falling on Kiana's face.

Then she nodded.

"Yes, this is indeed the ability to stop time."

"Then why did you..."

"But unfortunately, I really didn't have the ability to activate myself."

Before Kiana could ask again, Xing interrupted her.

"As you said, it is precisely because I also have the ability to interfere with time that I can move freely in this area even if I am not the one who initiated the time stop."

Hearing this, Kiana also understood the girl's subtext.

"You mean...it was another person who stopped time?"

"What else? Why should I waste my energy doing something meaningless like this when I have a bad cold?"

Xing shrugged and sighed a little tiredly.

"Although my special ability is rare, I'm afraid it's not unique. I can feel the same law, it should be another time ability user who activated the ability. And the source of the energy... is probably in that direction."

Xing struggled slightly, allowing Kiana to loosen her shoulders slightly, and turned to point in the direction of the research department.

In order to make Kiana believe in her and provide help, she also had to hint to her that she should be careful of danger. For this reason, it was impossible for Xing to tell Kiana what she saw in her dream, as it would only be regarded as the crazy talk of a mentally disturbed person. Therefore, she had to find a balance between lies and the truth, concealing the essence of her ability and directly revealing the most important information to the other party.

Even if it was just information from a dream...

Yes, I must not panic. Even if I was anxious to drag Kiana to the research department, according to this girl's rigorous and cautious habits, she would spend more time and ask me to clarify things...

"Is this the first time you've discovered another person with the ability to time?"

"Yes, first time."

What happened in a dream shouldn’t count in reality, right?

"That's it..."

Kiana's thoughtful expression seemed to indicate that she had approved of Xing's explanation.

In response, Xing paused for a moment and spoke again.

"Maybe the Research Department is doing research on time interference, but I haven't heard of any such project recently.

.....If not, what would happen?"

And if not…?

Hearing this, Kiana's eyes suddenly froze!

The second person who can interfere with time releases his ability, or is he inside the Far East Branch's base? If it's not a scientific research project for internal personnel, then it can only be...

Feeling the hand on her shoulder gradually relax, Xing looked at the silver-haired girl's solemn expression and smiled faintly.

"Anyway, I plan to check the situation. Miss Kaslana, what do you think?"

After saying that, Xing just smiled sweetly and waited for the silver-haired girl's answer.

From her eyes, Kiana could see a hint of hope, as if the girl was expecting her to make a choice.

But it just so happens that I do have this plan.

"...One last question."

Kiana let go of Xing's shoulders and looked at her hands. Her smooth, white palms were no different from usual. However, in this world covered by the golden light, her normal color was the most abnormal.

"Why can I move in this space? You came to my side. Did you do something?"

Xing remained silent on this question.

yes......

Why can Kiana move in time stop?

Could it be that she also has the potential for time abilities, but her abilities have not yet awakened?

733 "Second" Confrontation >>

Or......

"In fact, I did intend to do something just now to try to restore your mobility in the illusion. You are very strong. If the enemy activates the time stop, I am not sure that I can defeat the opponent alone."

Xing said frankly, with a hint of embarrassment on her wry smile.

"But... I just approached you and didn't do anything, and the time-space lock on you disappeared automatically. To be honest, I don't know what happened..."

Hearing this, Kiana immediately took a few steps back and gradually distanced herself from Xing.

And just when the distance between her and Xing exceeded two meters, the dark golden light spread to the silver-haired girl again...

Feeling her body stagnate, Kiana was startled and immediately took a step forward. The golden light on her body immediately dissipated, leaving a space without any light dust between the two girls.

"I almost understand..."

Kiana looked at Xing who was frowning in confusion and walked over with a smile.

"Although I don't know how it works, I seem to be able to use your body as a medium to interfere with the field of time laws. However, this can only be done within two meters. Once the distance between us is greater than two meters, I will fall into the state of time and space lock again."

Kiana said as she walked forward and took Xing's hand, turning to look in the direction of the research department.

"Is that the source of the other law?"

"That's right! We have already wasted too much time. If that guy's intention is to launch a surprise attack..."

"Don't worry, it won't."

Kiana shook her head and pulled back Xing who was about to leave.

"Since the intruder with the ability to time travel is able to sneak into the Research Department and stop time, he will definitely not kill people and expose his whereabouts. Let us be vigilant..."

As she spoke, Kiana looked at Xing, who was gradually becoming anxious, and finally took a step forward.

"Xing Maer, I can only rely on you to move around in this barrier now. Although I don't know what else you are hiding, you and Sister Shilis have known each other for seven years, and she regards you as her sister. Based on this, I can trust you unconditionally."

Having said that, she suddenly changed the subject.

"But what if..."

"I will protect everything that Sister Sis holds dear, including this Far East branch. So, you don't have to spend too much time trying to guess what I'm thinking, Miss Kaslana."

Before Kiana could utter that symbolic threat, Xing saw through her intention, snorted coldly, and used this sentence as her answer.

After hearing her words, Kiana was stunned for a moment, then slowly began to laugh.

"makes sense......"

The next moment, when Xing was completely unprepared, Kiana suddenly pulled the short girl over, held Xing's waist with one hand, and bent her knees slightly.

“You…? Ugh—!”

Just as Xing was about to say something, a strong cold wind suddenly rushed into her throat, almost causing the weak girl to get a stitch in the side.

When she opened her eyes, the street she was in was already far behind her! Xing looked at the golden wings extending from Kiana's back, her eyes wide open and she was speechless for a long time...

Although she knew that many strong men in the Far East Branch could fly, being caught off guard and carried up to the sky would be a shock to anyone.

Kiana smiled faintly, spread her wings, and flew towards the research department area with Xing.

"This is faster, and approaching from a high altitude will make it less likely for targets inside buildings to detect us. Furthermore, in a space-time locked area, perception abilities are completely ineffective."

"Humph......"

"Okay, don't be angry. Tell me, where is the exact location of the target?"

"That's right there. The l-n0207 division, which was originally engaged in the research of strategic weapons and gamma particles, should be nearby."

"n0207? I remember it seemed to be Dr. Einstein's..."

Kiana's expression changed slightly, and she sped up and rushed towards a building in the inner ring area of ​​the research department, arriving on top of the building.

Then, Kiana swooped down, tore open the roof and fell into a metal passage.

Sound cannot be transmitted in a static space, so they don't have to worry about the enemy hearing the loud noises they make.

"Laboratory 0207 is two floors below. Follow me closely."

Kiana said, putting Xing gently down, took the girl's hand and ran into the stairwell, quickly arriving at the N area on the eleventh floor.

Xing suppressed the dizziness in her brain and ran towards Einstein's laboratory holding Kiana's hand.

"That is......"

Seeing the open laboratory door from afar, Kiana's eyes suddenly darkened, and she pulled Xing and rushed in.

The next moment, a dark hooded coat came into her sight.

Yes, pure black...

Without being stained by the slightest bit of golden light, it cannot be locked by the stagnant time and space.

"..."

As Kiana and Xing barged in, the hooded figure turned sideways, revealing half of his face covered with hideous scars.

Behind her, Dr. Einstein was lazily leaning against his desk, stretching. In the still time and space, she was completely unaware of the three uninvited guests in front of her.

The scarred woman in black held a long golden nail with the tip pointed at Einstein's heart, as if she was about to pierce the doctor's heart.

It’s time——

The next moment after seeing Kiana, the woman smiled coldly and thrust the spike forward without hesitation, leaving the two girls no chance to act. The dark golden spike sank into Einstein's chest...

"stop--!!"

Kiana let out an uncontrollable roar, but her voice echoed in the blocked time and space, destined not to be heard by the woman not far away.

Deathly silence permeated the golden space...

The ground beneath the silver-haired girl's feet sank. The solid metal floor could not withstand the explosive force of Kiana's legs, and it cracked directly as she charged!

Even though she charged forward in anger, Kiana did not forget to grab Xing's hand, allowing herself to maintain the state of time and space interference. Her attack was enough to cause a fatal blow to an enemy at the level of a pseudo-herrscher!

The outcome has been decided... yet?

The moment she was dragged by Kiana, Xing seemed to feel that everything around her slowed down. At this moment, she slightly opened her eyes and met the pair of wine-red eyes under the hood.

strangeness............
