K424 of the Collapse World

She originally thought that the shy girl would raise her doubts frankly and decide whether she was willing to assist in the plan after receiving her explanation.

But unexpectedly... Seele actually switched to an aggressive Honkai personality and directly questioned her plan.

“Excuse me, the combat methods used by everyone here will involve energy weapons including Honkai energy, right? And as long as Shiris activates the barrier that restrains the Herrscher, she can invalidate all of them and turn us into hand-torn bread one by one!”

(Does she want to mess everything up? Or...)

The light in Kiana's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at the sneering "Xi'er" with a headache.

If it was Xier in her normal state, it would be fine, but she had no idea how to deal with the girl in this state.

"The specific implementation of the operation is exactly what we are going to discuss next. Xier, we will analyze these questions one by one later..."

"Analyze next? Haha... I think we should start now! Didn't you just ask me if I had any questions? Then this is my question! Regardless of who is telling the truth between you and Shiris, your stupid and naive plan just now makes me feel that you can't be trusted at all!"

Completely different from Seele's own timidity, when her other self was the dominant consciousness, she would not care about the surrounding environment at all, and such unscrupulous remarks came out of her mouth almost without thinking, and even Bronya frowned when she heard it.

"You think that Shirley's consciousness has been affected by the Honkai, you think she will become extreme because of this, you think she won't listen to anyone... These are all 'you think', all your subjective guesses! You haven't tried it, why do you say that Shirley can't be persuaded? Since her sanity is still there, it's just slightly affected by the Honkai, why do you have to take such an extreme method?"

Of course, the purpose of "Xier" saying this was not really to get an answer to the question, but just to find fault and magnify all the unreasonable things.

But it is undeniable that the issues she is talking about now are undeniable facts.

Just as Seele herself suspected at the beginning, she now has no way of judging which of the statements made by Seele and Kiana is true...

In Xi'er's opinion, the best situation would be to let the two of them confront each other in public in front of everyone in the Far East and play out a "true and false Herrscher" drama. But now, Xi Lisi was trapped in the Quantum Sea by Kiana and has been missing ever since. Now that Kiana has reappeared here, everyone can only listen to her one-sided words...

This is not possible!

Although Seele had no ill feelings towards Kiana, at this moment, the inexplicable threat from the silver-haired girl made her feel very uncomfortable, as if something was hiding in the dark, looking at everyone in front of her with interest, and calmly enjoying this farce...

Her intuition told her that she must not easily listen to Kiana's words at this moment. She originally wanted to control Seele's body and take the girl away from the scene. However, she knew very well that from the moment Seele attended the meeting, she was on a pirate ship. Kiana tried her best to hide her whereabouts, and there was no way she would allow Seele to leave like this.

Then, you have to delay the time as much as possible to gain more opportunities to think!

In order to protect her other self and the things she cherishes...

"Besides, have you ever thought about this? What if the last Honkai suddenly breaks out when your civil war plan begins? Do you think at that time, should we turn around and work together to deal with Honkai, or give priority to dealing with the unknown situation of Shilis?"

There was no time for Kiana to reply at all. "Seele" kept talking incessantly, and the topic was increasingly deviating from the focus of discussion.

"Oh, yeah, and..."

"That's enough, Xi'er! Stop talking."

But at this moment, Bronya suddenly spoke, grabbed Seele's hand, and forced her to sit down.

"Also, please return the body to Xi'er."

Staring at the blue-haired girl's blood-red eyes that had changed at some point, Bronya frowned slightly, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"..."

The two consciousnesses in Seele's body had little resistance to Bronya. As the gray-haired girl spoke, even though Seele with red eyes still felt resentful, under the strong desire of Seele's original consciousness, the bright red in her eyes quickly faded, and her blue eyes returned to the calm sea surface.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Like a frightened little rabbit, Xier immediately sat down on the chair and lowered her head, curling her petite body into a ball, trying to escape the gazes from all directions that seemed to be able to pierce her.

In any case, the meeting started again, and "Xier"'s plan failed for the time being.

"call......"

Kiana in the holographic projection exhaled softly and gave Bronya a grateful look. As the surroundings gradually quieted down, she cleared her throat and spoke again.

"Yes, just as Xi'er said, Sister Shilis is indeed terribly strong. But even she is not invincible."

As she spoke, her eyes slightly turned to the curly-haired girl sitting at the center of the conference table.

"Dr. Einstein, in order to reassure everyone, please explain in advance how to use the "Chain of Naraku"..."

"Hey, hey, do you understand? The ratio of energy output and dimensional pressure of the stable structure of the space wall,

Remember the formula carefully before constructing it...」

"Hmm? How come your control is getting worse and worse? If you can't concentrate, then take a rest! I will use the law to slow down time to buy more time, don't worry."

"Iselin, pause for a moment and take a look at the original matrix gap of your secondary level..."

......

Ah......

In the dead silence and darkness like the void, listening to these familiar yet unfamiliar voices, I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

It's really ridiculous, isn't it?

I once witnessed that person's future, but I never thought that I would also have such a day...

The five senses have completely disappeared, and the mind is almost solidified. Only at the other end of the soul connection, the distant phantom sounds echoing in the ears remind me that I have not truly disappeared.

Well, the memory is still clear. Who that person is and who I am, I can still remember quite clearly. As long as I try to stay focused and keep this bit of clarity in the chaotic void, I can continue to persevere.

But...I'm really tired...

If I could, I really want to just let myself go and indulge myself, not caring about anything and doing nothing, until the end of the world.

Now that we finally have the chance to take control of our own destiny, why not choose an easier path?

Whether it was the body that had crossed countless battlefields or the heart that was as strong as a rock, it was undoubtedly much stronger than himself. In that case, it wouldn't matter if I handed it all over to her as soon as possible, right?

Giving up, obviously only requires a simple thought, an extremely easy concession...

But why... am I still insisting?

Heh... a drowning man's straw.

Sure enough, it's really ridiculous...

"Please, Miyuki, help me just this once~"

"No! This has happened so many times... Why do you always ask me to do the tasks you took on yourself?"

In the former site of St. Freya, in the ruins of the academy that now looks like a messy construction site, Asakura Miyuki looked at the short-haired girl with a pleading look and shook her head firmly.

"You are afraid of the dark and dare not go to the basement of the church to perform sentry duty. If it were Captain Claire, he would probably send you alone to guard the Nine Nether Ruins."

"But the Jiuyou Ruins have exploded! Miyuki, you know I have night blindness, fear of darkness and fear of confined spaces. It's impossible for me to perform guard duty in a place like that~~"

"In that case, why did you accept this long-term sentry mission? Area C-1402 of St. Freya's Church is a closed space on the 14th floor underground..."

Helplessly looking at the Valkyrie in front of her, Asakura Miyuki's face was full of reluctance. After all, this girl asked him to help with a substitute mission, and it was not the first time.

"If it was just a closed space, I could still handle it. I thought so at the beginning, so I accepted this task. But who knew that the underground area of ​​the church would have a power outage! The lighting system is completely paralyzed. How can I go there? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."

"Isn't this natural? More than 90% of Saint Freya's facilities were destroyed. How could unimportant areas still have power supply? But if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to abandon the mission? This kind of mission shouldn't be bound to information, right?"

"But Miyuki-chan, my mission scores for the past six months have already reached a critical value! If I give up one or two more missions, I'll be demoted to a C-rank Valkyrie! I really don't want to go through another B-rank assessment..."

The short-haired girl wiped her tears pitifully and cast a pleading look at Asakura Miyuki again.

"Also, Miyuki-chan... I heard that a ghost figure was found in the large library near the church's C area! It is said that it was the Valkyrie who died in the last Collapse. Because her soul was burned by the World Burning Fire, she could not reincarnate and could only wander underground as a ghost..."

"What the hell is going on here... Listen to my advice, Komona. As a qualified Valkyrie, you must learn to overcome your weaknesses..."

"This kind of thing is impossible to overcome! If a large group of dead soldiers and Honkai beasts come towards me, I won't even blink an eye, but I can't deal with ghosts and spirits, especially in the dark and closed environment that I fear the most..."

As she spoke, Komona began to tremble all over. If it weren't for Asakura Miyuki's slightly gloomy expression, she would probably have thrown herself into her arms.

"Please, Miyuki-chan, one last time!"

"I remember you said last time that this was the last time. Besides, I have done so many guard duties for you, why have I never seen the so-called ghost you mentioned?"

"If you encounter it once, you won't be able to come back! It's a ghost, a supernatural being that science and technology cannot defeat.

Even if you are strong, Miyuki-chan, you can't deal with that kind of thing!"

"Ah... Since it's so dangerous, I'm a little scared. You should go find someone else. It would be best if Principal Theresa can come and help you in person."

After saying that, Asakura Miyuki turned around and prepared to leave, but the next moment, the shameless Miss Valkyrie pounced on her again and hugged her thighs directly.

"No! Miyuki-chan... not to mention Lady Theresa, even if I tell Captain Leah, I'll be punished! Now only you can help me. Miyuki-chan, I promise I will repay you! I... I can give you a scratching board and catnip, and I can comb your fur 24 hours a day!"

"Hmm...scratch posts and catnip?"

Hearing this, Asakura Miyuki couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Do you really think I'm a cat?! I'll say it again, the animal parts of me are only my ears and tail. I don't need a scratching post and I don't smell catnip! As for combing my hair, haha, Lady Shilis can do it..."

————!

At this point, Asakura Miyuki's voice suddenly stopped, and her bright red vertical pupils dimmed.

Two days have passed since Shirleys disappeared into the imaginary space in North America. During this time, the Far East Branch has not found any information about the girl. At the same time, the traitor Kiana has also disappeared as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Asakura Miyuki trusted in the power of Shirley, and she believed that the girl would never get into trouble. However, this did not mean that she was not worried and would not suffer for Shirley's safety...

As if she had given up something, Asakura Miyuki lowered her head and her lips moved slightly.

"I understand. I will help you."

“Eh? Really??!”

"Well, give me the verification token, and I'll help you do underground duty again, for the last time."

"Yes! For the last time, for the last time... Thank you, Miyuki-sama, for saving my life. Thank you so much!"

The short-haired Valkyrie instantly pulled out the terminal from her pocket and handed it to Miyuki. She saluted with gratitude, then skipped away as if she was afraid that the other party would return.

......

Recalling the conversation with Komona not long ago, Asakura Miyuki couldn't help but smile as she walked in the underground passage and continued to move towards area C of the church.

In the deserted and silent passage, the black-haired girl's smile was slightly sad. When she was in a bad mood, she preferred to stay alone so that others would not notice her low mood.

The dark and quiet underground area under the church happens to be the best environment.

Just think of it as doing her a favor...

Asakura Miyuki walked forward silently. With her cat-like vertical pupils fully dilated, she could clearly see through the darkness in front of her and find the correct route.

When she walked to a control unit cabin, Asakura Miyuki couldn't help but frown.

"Tsk... here we go again."

She could sense that there were a few traces of Honkai energy fluctuations in the vicinity. She had also sensed this slight fluctuation when she came here to help cover for the shift, but she had never paid much attention to it. After all, even ordinary people were completely immune to this extremely small concentration of Honkai energy, and the Honkai energy detector could not sense it. Only a pseudo-hersr like her could instinctively detect this slight fluctuation...

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Asakura Miyuki turned around hesitantly and followed the fluctuations of Honkai energy.

Anyway, there is nothing important to do today, so I might as well go and take a look. Although it is an almost harmless slight fluctuation, it is also a potential danger, so I might as well deal with it.

It should be a used Honkai energy battery, or a damaged weapon with energy leaking out? Just pick it up and throw it into the nearby incinerator. It shouldn't be a big deal.

With this in mind, Asakura Miyuki slightly quickened her pace. After dealing with the source of the collapse, she still had to go to help her friend take over, so she had to go a little faster.

Relying on her keen perception, Asakura Miyuki made a few circles in the complex passage and soon found the source of the trace amount of Honkai energy.

"......Huh?"

Looking at the bare metal wall in front of her, Asakura Miyuki was confused.

This is the innermost layer of the energy configuration room from area a to c. According to the map, there are only floating island rocks behind the wall in front, and there is no next space at all.

However, those tiny fluctuations of Honkai energy did indeed spread out after this...

"Could it be that......"

The black-haired girl raised her right hand, and amethyst claws extended from her fingertips and sank into the seemingly thick metal wall.

Then, penetrated through.

"Secret door..."

Feeling the texture of the wall, Asakura Miyuki exerted a little force with her five fingers, grabbed the torn metal, and pulled down the entire metal wall.

The next moment, a vast space suddenly opened up before her eyes...

856 Shock

"Shiris, I still don't quite understand..."

"Hey, hey! Are you kidding? I've told you all my experience. All I need is to teach you step by step. You still don't understand the fluctuation law of the space force field?"
