K424 of the Collapse World

Lan Feng walked alone in the silent corridor, thinking as he headed towards his destination.

(…In any case, I am already familiar with the local terrain structure, and Cocolia knows nothing about my strength, so even if I am exposed, the possibility of a successful escape is guaranteed.)

Before he knew it, Lan Feng had reached his destination.

Standing in front of the familiar wooden door, Lan Feng raised his hand and knocked gently. Then, he turned the door handle and opened the wooden door quietly and silently.

The girl in the blue dress sat on the bed blankly, just like a few days ago. Her short black hair was dark blue. It was not very noticeable some time ago, but recently, it has become obvious.

(Alas, as expected...)

Looking at the fleeting scarlet color, Lan Feng's eyes fixed and he spoke calmly.

"Xier, you forgot to lock the door again."

As Lan Feng's clear voice came from the door, the girl sitting on the bed with her knees hugged shuddered and glanced towards the door with a slightly surprised look...

"Siris?"

"Well, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but I came here this time to find you for something important..."

As he spoke, Lan Feng slowly walked towards Xier.

"Ah...? Looking for me? Shirley, you?"

However, Xier still looked confused. She blinked her beautiful deep blue eyes and looked at the girl who was walking slowly towards her in confusion.

(This guy...!)

Lan Feng's face darkened and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, in Xier's sight, the figure of the purple-haired girl blurred in an instant. With her reaction speed, she didn't realize what was happening at all.

Lan Feng suddenly took a step forward, and a purple light appeared in his right hand accompanied by the flash of Honkai energy particles, and pierced towards Xier's white neck like lightning! The next moment, it seemed that the result of the girl's throat being pierced could be foreseen...

--bite!!

The crisp sound of metal collisions echoed in the room, and a strong wind blew in all directions, blowing over the books and papers on the table...

"You're so impatient... You don't seem to be in a good mood today? I was just joking. If you use this kind of power directly, aren't you afraid of triggering the Houkai alarm?"

A huge dark blue sickle appeared out of nowhere, holding the javelin made of Honkai energy crystals in mid-air, preventing it from moving forward even an inch.

The two girls' weapons collided and they were stuck in a stalemate.

"Xier" still remained sitting, looking at the purple-haired girl in front of her with a smile on her face, her blood-red pupils focused on Lan Feng.

Obviously, she is Xi'er, but not the Xi'er before.

"Hmph... I haven't seen you for a while. Your temper has really gotten worse. Sorry, I was a little irritated just now. But, you've already destroyed the Houkai alarm in this room. Do you think I don't know that?"

Lan Feng snorted lightly, and suddenly exerted force on his wrist, turning the javelin. With a sharp scratching sound and a burst of sparks, the crystal javelin violently shook the giant sickle away!

"Xier", who was sitting on the bed, was lifted up by a huge force attached to the javelin, but she did not panic at all. She turned over flexibly in the air and landed smoothly and silently. Her little feet wrapped in white stockings stepped lightly on the smooth wooden floor, as graceful as a kitten.

Xier smiled and loosened the long handle of the sickle in her hand. With this action, the gorgeous dark blue giant sickle turned into a shadow and disappeared. Before that, Lan Feng had also dispersed the crystal spear, turning it into star-like light particles that dissipated in the air.

The confrontation between the two ended here. They had no intention of fighting seriously. Lan Feng and "Xier" stopped at the same time in tacit understanding.

"Speaking of which, why do all of you personalities created by Honkai power like to use sickles as weapons?"

Blue

Feng looked at Xi'er's scarlet pupils and asked casually.

The "Xi'er" in front of him was a second personality created by the memory engraved in Xi'er's "stigmata". She had her own independent thinking brain area, and her consciousness was completely separated from Xi'er, but Xi'er was unaware of her existence.

Her spiritual power is stronger than Xi'er's, and she can directly use the power of the stigmata, and can even take over the control of Xi'er's body. It was only when Lan Feng knew that she would take action that he dared to use such a dangerous method to make her appear.

Previously, Lan Feng accidentally communicated with Xi'er's second personality. It is worth mentioning that the first time they met, a fight broke out because of a misunderstanding. Lan Feng was attacked by "Xi'er" before he could get anything going. Fortunately, before the orphanage's Honkai alarm was triggered, the two had to stop and had a peaceful conversation.

If Lan Feng were to evaluate "Xi'er", she would say that she is similar to Mei's Herrscher personality. Xi'er knows everything she sees and hears, including her inner voice and thoughts.

In addition, this guy's character is not kind at all. He has many similarities with the future Third Herrscher. However, compared to the violent nature of the Lightning Queen, her character is more suitable to be described as "evil".

Although the stigmata on Seele's chest is exactly the same as the mark of the Herrscher of Death, she is not a Herrscher, nor is she a consciousness created by Honkai. Instead, it is the memory of the stigmata that was transcribed into human genes by the previous civilization in order to pass on the power left over from the last century and the hatred for Honkai...

065 "Xi'er" >>

“What can I do? Instinctively, the Houkai energy condensed into the shape of a sickle. Your ability to manipulate Houkai at will is really convenient. I envy you so much… You are just a defective product without even a Herrscher Core.”

"I'm really sorry, I'm not the Herrscher of this world. So, do you remember what I told you before?"

Lan Feng didn't care about Xier's ridicule. He said calmly with a solemn expression. His eyes, dyed purple by Honkai, stared at Xier, waiting for her answer.

"Of course I remember... I won't hurt this child, absolutely not! I will protect what she likes, and I will destroy what she hates!"

"Really, that's good..."

"Humph, before, this child wanted to protect you, so I obeyed her wishes. But, I never expected that you would be such a person..."

At this point, Xi'er smiled and looked at Lan Feng with interest. At first, she thought Lan Feng was a Herrscher and attacked him directly. Now thinking about it, Xi'er couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Obviously, the mind of Shilis in front of her was not infected by the consciousness of Honkai at all.

Suddenly, "Xier"'s mind moved and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"How about it? Since you are not the agent of Honkai, why don't we join forces to completely destroy this damn world that has been corroded by Honkai?"

Hearing this, Lan Feng covered his face with his hands.

(here we go again……)

“Please allow me to refuse… What’s the difference between this and the actions of the Honkai Will? Besides, you just said that you want to protect what Seele loves. As far as I know, she doesn’t hate this world…”

Lan Feng felt her eyes twitching slightly, and she suddenly remembered that this stigma personality was like some kind of mental illness. She rejected the proposal without hesitation. However, in response to Lan Feng's words, "Xi'er" smiled and shook her head, interrupting her.

"Destroying this world and achieving the reset conditions is the ultimate goal of the Honkai Will. Humanity has lost to Honkai many times in the past and has never won. In this case, what is the point of this futile struggle? It is better for us to end it all ourselves."

With a sick smile, "Xi'er" said these words loudly.

He resisted the urge to punch this girl who seemed to have a second-year syndrome. After all, hitting her would be the same as hitting Xi'er. Lan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at "Xi'er" in front of him, and was about to say something, but was interrupted again.

"Do you think humans have a chance to defeat Honkai? They are fighting each other despite the threat of Honkai. Besides, can you still be considered a human? Think about it, if those people saw your ability to manipulate Honkai, would they still treat you the same way? I can probably imagine that they would point at you, call you 'monster', and run away in panic. Alas, the people in this world are so hypocritical and useless. How could such a stupid creature defeat Honkai? So, why did you reject my proposal?"

Lan Feng looked at Xi'er's teasing eyes and sighed again. Fortunately, she was not interrupted again this time.

"If possible, please stop feeding me those negative things. Regardless of whether I can do it with my current strength, I don't want to live the life of a caveman after destroying humanity."

"Don't worry, as long as we complete this goal before the collapse, the world will not be reset again..."

"Isn't that the same as suicide? Forget it, let's not talk about these useless things."

Lan Feng felt a headache. Seeing that "Xier" was still eager to refute, he quickly waved his hand to interrupt her and ended the topic.

Seeing Lan Feng's helpless expression, "Xi'er" smiled and said nothing more. She was just saying it casually. She had a complete consciousness, and was not like Aimiye, who was intelligent but crazy. She could still distinguish between reality and jokes.

"Come to think of it, why did you follow the orders of the previous civilization? In this world, no one forced you to do this, right?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Lan Feng raised his head, looked at the red-eyed "Xier", and asked.

"Xier" was slightly stunned, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

(Yes... why? The only thing that supports me is the enduring cold hatred...)

"That's the purpose of my existence. Without that goal, what else would I do?"

"This world has not yet reached the point where it makes people despair. Why should we give up in advance? Well, let's get back to the topic."

As he spoke, Lan Feng put the books that had fallen on the ground back to their original places. "Xier" was also tidying up the scattered papers, restoring the room to its original tidy state.

"Cocolia may have begun to doubt me."

Lan Feng spoke lightly about the terrible things, but he didn't seem to care.

"Why? Your acting should be perfect."

"It's not perfect. Don't underestimate Cocolia. I must have made a mistake just now. Using that method, although it may make her feel guilty and trust me in the short term, she will definitely find out the clues when she reacts."

After listening to Lan Feng's words, "Xier" nodded.

"No wonder you look like you're leaving. Are you planning to leave, Shirley?"

"Well, but let's stay for a while before her suspicion of me deepens. Xing... doesn't seem to like Xi'er. Do you have any suggestions?"

"How can I possibly do this? You are the one who caused this situation, right?"

"Hmm~~...How troublesome..."

Lan Feng shook her head in some confusion. She had already asked "Xi'er" to take good care of Xi'er, and now the only thing she was worried about was Xing.

Is that child really ready to face life on his own? He doesn't seem to be as clingy to me as before, so it should be okay, right?

"Anyway, I hope you can protect Xier well..."

Following Lan Feng's words, Xier's expression became relaxed. She placed her hands on the stigmata on her chest and lowered her head slightly.

"You don't need to tell me. I... like Xi'er very much. She is the kindest child among all my previous hosts. Although she is a little indecisive sometimes, this is her gentleness."

"So, try not to influence her with your consciousness."

"That's right. Then, I will transfer some of my power to her if that is her strong will..."

"...Anyway, I'll leave Xi'er to you, um... Miss Stigmata?"

Lan Feng said to Xi'er, who had red eyes in front of him. At this moment, although some of Xi'er's behaviors were a bit inexplicable, Lan Feng had a sincere trust in her.

After all, they exist as a symbiotic organism, so Lan Feng knows that she will definitely protect Xier.

"Now... after saying so much, I want to ask you a question."

Suddenly, "Xier" raised her head, looked directly at Lan Feng and asked with a complicated tone.

"Why are you doing this? As far as I know, you have known Xi'er for less than a month. Why do you value her so much?"

"…Because I like her, I want to protect her, that's all."

"What kind of reason is that..."

"Xier" shook her head, put the last book back in its place, and the scarlet in her eyes began to fade.

"But... I choose to believe you. I can tell from the look in your eyes that you are worthy of my trust. After all, my intuition has been very accurate over the years."

Lan Feng looked at the smiling "Xier" with some surprise, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her hair.

"If you could change your weird habit of acting like a middle school student all the time, you would definitely be a cute girl..."

"Xier's" red pupils shrank slightly, but returned to normal the next moment. With a smile on her face, she looked at the gentle purple-haired girl.

"Oh~~ Are you trying to show your affection to me? By the way, you really like to touch other people's heads... I saw you touch Xing like this before."

"..."

"But unfortunately, I'm just Xi'er's shadow. You don't need to care about me. Just pour your feelings on this child. It's her you like, right?"

(As long as this is the case, I will be very grateful to you...)

Of course, she didn't say the last sentence.

As the red completely dissipated, Xier blinked her pure deep blue eyes and looked around in confusion.

"Ah... Shiris? What happened to me just now?"

Looking at the

Xier understands. Lan Feng bit his lip and shook his head gently.

"nothing."

(If this is your choice, I won’t interfere. After all, in a sense, we are somewhat similar, “Xi’er”…)

066 The encounter between a nun and a knife maker

At this moment, in Xier's room...

"Um... Shilis, come to the point, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xier looked at the older girl in front of her with some embarrassment. She didn't know why she suddenly came to see her. Although Xilisi treated her very gently and often took care of her, the two of them were not actually very familiar with each other.

After all, I wanted to call her sister before, but was rejected... So, this should mean that she doesn't like me? Could it be that she hates me a little bit...?

Xier thought to herself, pinching her wrist awkwardly, and looking at Lan Feng timidly.

Lan Feng didn't know what the girl was thinking. She looked at Xi'er in front of her, thinking about her previous conversation with "Xi'er".

"…Xier, you always like to be alone. Why don't you play with other children? Won't you feel lonely?"

After thinking for a while, Lan Feng asked Xi'er. The purpose of his trip had been accomplished, so he would chat with Xi'er for a while. She was so bad at speaking, could she really have a good relationship with Bronya in the future?

"But, Shirley, you...always keep to yourself..."
