K424 of the Collapse World

"If you still want to discuss that cooperation with me, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible. Since you have experienced the original history, you must know what choice I will make in the end."

"..."

"What's wrong? Instead of saying all that nonsense last time, and not interfering with my soul, are you just coming to say hello to me? When did the observers of Honkai become so idle... If I were a senior civilization executive in charge of the Honkai system, I would definitely fire an employee like you who only knows how to slack off!"

Lan Feng was speaking excitedly when a faint light suddenly appeared in the condensed darkness.

"Let me make it clear in advance that I am not the observer who exiled you."

Unlike the obscure and unknown language last time, a clear and soft female voice sounded slowly. The next moment, a slender figure emerged from the condensed darkness and stood far away opposite Lan Feng.

"So... Stowaway, you don't have to be so hostile to me."

"oh......?"

"If you want to protect her,

Then we should be able to talk. The decision is yours. "

As the girl's facial features began to become clear, surprise began to appear on Lan Feng's face.

"Shiris...? No! Who are you?!"

ps————————————

Happy National Day!

792 Distortion

The reason why Lan Feng was so surprised was that the shadow of the silver-haired girl that appeared in front of him was exactly the same as Shirley's original appearance!

Facing Lan Feng's questioning, the silver-haired girl's expression remained unchanged.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What you need to care about most now is the decision you are about to make."

"..."

Listening to the girl's cold voice, Lan Feng slowly suppressed the surprise in his eyes. Then, the young man sneered and stretched lazily without caring.

"You are so direct... You want to negotiate with me on an equal and mutually beneficial basis with just one sentence? If you don't reveal your identity, how can I know whether the image you show is a new cover that guy found?"

"..."

The shadow of the silver-haired girl did not respond, as if she selectively ignored Lan Feng's irrelevant nonsense. But even so, Lan Feng did not care about the girl's cold attitude, and the smile on the corner of his mouth began to be more and more mocking...

"Besides, you showed up in front of me with this appearance without any explanation. Are you waiting for me to complain about your appearance? Or do you really think I'm a fat otaku obsessed with looks and that I'm open to all girls with blue eyes and white hair? If..."

"This is the original appearance of my soul, and also the origin form of all Herrschers of the End."

In the silence, the silver-haired girl in front of him suddenly responded like this, causing Lan Feng to stop what he was about to say.

"...The Herr of the End?"

Lan Feng was stunned, the suspicion in his eyes had not yet fully revealed, but the girl in front of him seemed to see through his thoughts and spoke again.

"Don't question my words, and don't ask unnecessary questions. You will soon know everything you need to know. Time is limited, so give your answer as soon as possible. For her, how far can you go?"

"Tell me first... what is your relationship with Shilis, the honorable Herrscher of the End? You keep saying that you want to talk to me for her sake. Can I understand that you, the Honkai side, still want to bring her in, but this time you have changed to a more reasonable negotiator, is that right?"

Lan Feng asked back, obviously not wanting to be led by others in the negotiation, and took over the initiative of the topic again. As for his strong behavior, the silver-haired girl did not express any dissatisfaction, and answered his question again after a brief silence.

"My relationship with her... is that of a companion who has been with her for billions of years. As for my purpose, I just want to free her from this sad cycle, nothing more."

"..."

Billions of years... This is a time that is completely beyond human cognition. Hearing this, Lan Feng seemed to have guessed something and began to listen carefully to the voice of the girl in front of him.

"I set up this law barrier not only to block her perception, but also to cut off all the Houkai factors in this area, so that the existence behind them cannot detect my actions."

"Oh? According to what you said, you are the highest representative of the will of Honkai, but now you are acting without telling the one who controls Honkai. So there are times when the Honkai side also has disagreements?"

Lan Feng said this jokingly, but from this moment on, his eyes became completely serious, and he no longer had the relaxed feeling of being out of the matter.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

There is no need for a verbal affirmative or negative answer, Lan Feng's attitude at this moment has already made his attitude clear.

"What do you know about her identity so far?"

"Identity? Hmm... Experimental subject K424, who awakened with fragments of Xilin's consciousness as her main personality, isn't she just that?"

The girl's straight-to-the-point question made Lan Feng slightly stunned, but he still answered quickly.

But after hearing his answer, the shadow of the silver-haired girl just sighed.

"Well, it's time for you to know her true identity... We don't have much time before the 'real' her fully awakens."

"Real identity?"

Lan Feng was about to ask something when a crack suddenly appeared in the black barrier in front of him! Then, the long metal corridor appeared in front of him, which was exactly what Shilis saw in the shared vision.

The shadow of the silver-haired girl reappeared beside him, raising her hand to point at the visual image of Shilis.

"Take a look, you will soon discover... changes that she herself cannot even notice."

The Valkyries and the combat team members are busy with post-war rescue work

At the same time, the command levels of the subordinate departments of the Far East Base also began to get busy.

In this special situation, no one can stay out of it. Even the lower-level staff responsible for cleaning and gardening must take emergency shelter under the arrangement of the branch. The Far East Base, which originally had relatively comprehensive functions, temporarily entered a completely militarized state...

792 Twist >>

"What? Is the next batch of medical resources going to be delayed again?"

The branch officer in charge of the rescue command strode angrily through the corridor of the headquarters with a stack of documents. Her adjutant hurriedly followed behind, distractedly contacting the communicator of the logistics department while reporting the situation on the other side to his superior.

"Yes... According to Miss Emil from the logistics department, the C-rank Valkyrie team responsible for transportation at the secondary base was affected by the aftermath of the Honkai energy. They received emergency medical treatment when they arrived at the temporary medical center, and a backup team is currently being deployed..."

"how long will it take?"

"Well... the human resources in the logistics department seem to be a bit tight. Including the transportation time, it will take about an hour..."

The adjutant spoke quickly, and raised her hand in a panic to push up her glasses. But she seemed to be too nervous, so she raised her hand and directly hit the lens of her glasses, and her sweaty fingers left a clear white mark on the lens.

People are more likely to make mistakes frequently when they are busy. Mistakes of all sizes continue to pile up, which will only lead to a vicious cycle...

As the report came out, the officer's brow furrowed unsurprisingly.

"Why is the efficiency of resource allocation so low? Are the logistics team members of our branch just eating for free?! There are so many general affairs Valkyries who can't pass the B-level qualification, and the logistics department is still understaffed?!"

"..."

The adjutant lowered her head and remained silent. The delay in the transportation of resources was neither her fault nor the officer's dereliction of duty. In this case, keeping silent was the best choice.

However, although the responsibility can be passed on to each other, if medical resources cannot be deployed in time, the injured who have just been rescued from the rubble will only add a few more numbers to the death statistics in the near future...

As long as they are members of the Far East Branch, no one wants to see this happen.

"...Explain the situation to the medical center at the branch base, and ask them to find a way to maintain medical supplies for an hour. Also, help me send these documents to the archives room next door. I must report this to Principal Theresa."

Handing the folder in her hand to the adjutant, the officer gritted her teeth and quickened her pace to the corner ahead. When faced with such a situation, no matter how anxious they were, those who were responsible for the rear work were doomed to be powerless...

"Ok?"

At this moment, a short silver-haired figure walked quickly from the other side of the passage. When the officer saw the girl's appearance, her steps paused slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Principal Theresa?! Why are you here......"

"..."

However, the silver-haired girl who was five meters away seemed not to hear her voice and continued to walk forward without looking away, as if the two of them were just air beside them...

"Please... please wait a moment! Principal!"

As they were about to pass each other, the silver-haired girl finally stopped as the woman called out a second time in a louder voice and grabbed the other's shoulders.

She slowly turned her head and cast her gaze at the two Far Eastern officers behind her.

The moment the two women's eyes met the girl's, their expressions froze.

The cold stiffness continued in the surrounding space. This weird atmosphere was not because they were embarrassed because they realized they had recognized the wrong person, but because they were shocked by something even more terrifying.

The source of this is the look in the eyes of this silver-haired girl...

There was no killing intent, nor any malice. Just watching like this was enough to make them breathless, as if they were placed in a falling black abyss. There was no light, no sound, only the heart-wrenching feeling of weightlessness that kept getting worse. In fear, they never knew when the end of being shattered into pieces would come.

wow-

The documents in the adjutant's hand fell to the ground, but she was completely unaware of it. She stared wide-eyed like the officer lady beside her, with bloodshot eyes spreading across the surface of her sclera...

"Hey! What is...?"

In the space blocked by the mental world, Lan Feng looked at the shadow beside him in astonishment and asked, his expression no longer able to remain calm.

From the girls' shared sight, he also saw the two people in a daze. But from here, he couldn't know what the two women saw, and what they were afraid of...

In response to his doubts, the shadow of the silver-haired girl shook her head without changing her expression.

"This is the real her... Keep reading and you'll get your answer soon."

793 True Self

"Hey...you two. Even if you recognized the wrong person, you wouldn't be that surprised, right?"

After recovering from her brief trance, Shirley saw the two stunned women in front of her and couldn't help but frown and speak.

Her silver hair and blue eyes, coupled with her current age, did easily remind people of the lolita school principal of the Far East Branch, and Shirley didn't mind it. However, the two women's exaggerated facial expressions, as if they were facing a flood or a beast, or saw something unbelievable, made Shirley a little confused.

Although it was a little suspicious that a 12-year-old girl other than Theresa would appear in the core area of ​​the branch base, the expressions of the two women seemed more like they were in an incomprehensible and terrifying situation than they were suspicious of something...

Do I look scary? This cute little silver-haired girl, is there really anyone who would be afraid of such a cute thing?

How strange...

However, these doubts did not stay in Shilis's mind for too long. After all, in such an extraordinary period, she did not need to care about the thoughts of those who had nothing to do with her.

Selectively ignoring the gazes of the two women, Shirley coughed twice and took the initiative to soften her gaze.

"Although I'm not Principal Theresa, I'm going to look for her now. If you also have something to discuss with the principal, how about coming with me?"

"..."

"I said, can you hear me?"

Shiris raised her eyebrows, forced a polite smile and spoke again, her delicate and soft voice echoing in the quiet passage. However, what made her helpless was that the two women in front of her still showed no signs of coming back to their senses...

They must have lost their minds!

Shirley shrugged and walked right past the woman who was hit first, not even looking at the two of them again.

This was indeed an abnormal situation. During the period when the Herrscher of the Heart was on alert, the abnormal behavior of these two people was enough to send them to the isolation room. But it was different now. No matter what happened to these two people, Shilis didn't have time to care about such a mess.

Her intuition told her that this matter was not important at all.

(Are these mere ants going to waste my time? If this weren’t in Theresa’s branch, I’d really want to crush them to death…)

Strange thoughts flashed through her mind, interspersed with her normal thoughts. Shirley shook her head gently to dispel these inexplicable thoughts.

Although she had no desire to find out the truth about this matter, the thought just now was a bit serious. However, Shilis did not care about these things in her mind. To her, it was just like the unrealistic and dark thoughts that occasionally popped up in people's minds. They just flashed through her mind instinctively and there was no abnormal compulsion.

If you encounter this kind of thing when you are in a hurry, everyone will be a little angry, right? Even if she just thought about crushing these ants, she certainly wouldn't put it into action...

With this thought in mind, she quickly put the matter behind her. The only people who need to be cared for are the important people around her. Who has the time to care about those irrelevant people?

“Ah…! That…”

It was not until this moment that the female officer in front of Shirley suddenly woke up and responded in panic.

Although they seemed to be in a daze, their thoughts were not stagnant. She heard every word the silver-haired girl said clearly.

But even after hearing it, under the influence of that terrifying unknown deterrent force, her whole body was still stiff and unable to move, and she couldn't even utter a word.

"I...I am..."

Even though the girl had already looked away, her mind still seemed to be still in shock, and her voice was stuttering. Her vague response naturally did not stop the silver-haired girl in front of her, and she turned her back to the two women and walked into the other side of the passage...

However, if Shiris knew that her Herrscher-level pressure would be released unconsciously along with her emotions, I wonder what kind of expression she would show?

The silver-haired girl walked forward silently. The lights on all sides of the passage cast her blurry shadow on the wall behind her. It seemed to form a pair of black wings spreading outwards, swaying slightly behind her as she walked...

As certain changes quietly came, except for the girl's important relatives, friends and companions, all other people and things that were not directly related to her were constantly fading in her cognition, just like the two women she met just now, who were like sand and dust everywhere on the roadside to her.

793 True Self>>

Can she still detect this subtle change in her self-awareness? Or, even if she realizes it, she still can't be moved by it now...

In the terminal room of the command center, no
