K424 of the Collapse World

"Well......?"

"Uh what? I didn't use much strength just now, did I? Stop pretending and just find a seat over there and sit down."

The girl said in a cold and tender voice. Even though her deformed soul was no longer as gentle as before, she still held back a bit of strength in front of someone she was familiar with. Otherwise, with that blow just now, the man would have probably broken several ribs and was lying on the ground.

"Hmm... Shiris? Wait! Why are you like this now..."

Siegfried was rubbing his slightly aching chest when his eyes suddenly froze. It was only then that he could truly see the appearance of the silver-haired girl in front of him.

In his recent memory, he remembered that Silis, who lost control due to the abuse of her time ability, had turned into a mature woman with a body size that was not inferior to Cecilia. But now, what was going on with this girl who was about the same age as Theresa but was wearing the restraint law weapon? !

Seeing Siegfried's questioning look, the already annoyed girl stomped her feet hard and her tone became more impatient.

"We'll talk about these questions later! Don't worry about the details for now. I am indeed Shilis, there is no doubt about that. Siegfried, you must have come back after seeing Theresa's communication, right? Didn't she tell you that I am using the K-series experimental subject as a remote clone?"

"Doppelganger? This... is actually happening?!"

Hearing this, the man looked at Theresa with some surprise, who had a complicated expression on her face. After seeing her nod slightly, his expression became subtle.

Although he knew nothing about what happened to Shirley after she was trapped in the imaginary space, Siegfried could vaguely realize what extraordinary things had happened to the girl.

However, after just a slight hesitation, Siegfried gave up asking about these complicated matters, turned back to the silver-haired girl in front of him, and once again asked the question that concerned him most.

"Okay, Shirley...but compared to this, how much information do you have about Kiana? Her erosion condition, and..."

As a father, what Siegfried is most eager to know now is naturally the news about his daughter.

Although Siegfried had tried hard to investigate, his resources and abilities were too limited, and he only found out that Kiana had attacked the affiliated organization of the Destiny, and gained almost nothing else. After all, even the real body of Shiris could hardly catch the girl who escaped into the void, let alone a mortal like Siegfried?

895 Brotherly Feud>>

"Kiana mixed up with some of the anti-entropy traitors and manipulated Diana to ambush my other clone... In any case, they are currently missing. And I returned to the Far East this time to deal with this series of legacy issues."

"Wait...what did you say...?!"

Without considering Siegfried's feelings, the girl went straight to the point and told him what happened to K438, and then put forward her own guess without hesitation.

"When she was alone, it was impossible for Kiana to have a complete intelligence system that could fully grasp my whereabouts. Combined with the estimation of previous events, I can conclude that she received help from other members of the Far East."

"Wait a minute, Shirley! I..."

"But I must first find out how many people in the Far East branch took this opportunity to betray her! And how many people were influenced by the law of consciousness and forced to join her camp. There should be many people here who know the facts that the me company has hidden together."

Shirley continued to speak in a cold tone, ignoring Siegfried's confusion and Theresa's thoughtfulness. In fact, K455, who was rejected by ME, was still able to hold back her anger and communicate with others normally. This was already the limit of this girl's control...

Siegfried opened his eyes wide in shock. He could not imagine that the three sisters who were like real sisters would break up overnight.

Moreover, Diana, who had been chatting with him a few days ago, the girl who had been worried about her two sisters, also changed her mind.

Following Kiana's footsteps, he swung his rebellious blade at Shirley...

Why is this happening?

But no matter how unbelievable it was, there seemed to be no reason for Shiris to lie.

"..."

Compared to Siegfried's confusion and fear, Theresa remained calm and cast a critical gaze on the silver-haired girl in front of her. Compared to Kiana, who had been missing from the beginning, she was more suspicious of Shirley, whose behavior was becoming more and more abnormal.

As an experienced leader, she could also assert that there must be something hidden in the girl's words just now. Moreover, it was the Q group: 543659389. This kind of remote avatar did not care about others' concealment and deception. For some reason, Theresa began to feel that Shirley was more and more similar to Otto in her memory...

At this moment, the prompt sound of the electronic door authentication system quietly broke the increasingly tense scene.

"I can feel a murderous aura before I even enter the door. It seems like you are really angry this time~"

The girl with long blue hair walked slowly into the room, and with her light greeting, the third participant appeared after Siegfried.

Feeling the Herrscher's presence far stronger than that of ordinary people, Shirley turned her gaze away at the first moment.

"Oh? Hill... I haven't seen you for a while."

"Since you assigned me to the medical department, I haven't left those operating rooms for quite a while."

The blue-haired girl came in front of K455 Shiris, pinched the girl's round little face, then jumped lightly and sat directly on the desk next to her.

"Hill, you..."

Shilis was about to say something, but suddenly found that the smile on the face of the Herrscher of Death was gone.

"The barrier of the imaginary space cannot possibly hold you. Although I am very curious about what you have been doing during your time of disappearance, I have some bad news that I must tell you first."

The blue-haired girl raised her head, glanced at the other two people around the room, and continued in a deep voice.

"Last night, a patient went missing in the C2 isolation ward."

896 double-sided

"The patient is missing... Is it Yaezakura?"

"..."

Although Hill only mentioned the word "patient" in the first half of the sentence, for some reason, the silver-haired girl in front of him only thought for a very short time and directly said the name that Hill was about to say.

The girl's unexpected interruption made Hill's pupils shrink, his serious expression twitched slightly, and then he nodded helplessly.

"Ah... Yes, it was Sakura who was missing. But Shiris, how did you..."

"It's just a simple guess. The Far East Medical Department is not under strict surveillance like a prison cell. There are countless cases of patients with mild symptoms walking around at will. Some girls even go back to the dormitory without going to the inpatient department to sign out. When I was a school doctor, I often encountered such "disappearance incidents". It was very annoying."

Not surprised by Hill's surprise, Shirley just rubbed her fingers calmly. Her serious explanation once again overlapped with the girl in the past.

"And the incident that happened last night was judged as a real disappearance by you just a few hours later. So the patient in the accident must not be a patient who is capable of running around, but a critically ill patient who is theoretically unable to move."

"this......"

"It just so happens that the only critically ill patient I know of in the Far East Branch is Yae Sakura. As for Wendy, I used the law of time to cure her erosion a few months ago. She should be in the rehabilitation center now, not the ICU ward as before."

Even though the soul fragments inherited strange characteristics, K455's thinking was still dominated by Shilis's body. Apart from the slight interference of the Honkai Factor, the clarity of her thinking was no different from normal. The abnormal personality caused by the clone was ultimately just the difficulty in controlling the execution of some actions, and it basically had no impact on her IQ.

Hill was stunned for more than five seconds at the girl's impromptu inference before he opened his mouth with a stiff expression.

"Haru, so that's how it is... So, you thought of so much in just a split second?"

"We are Herrsers after all. Since we have computer-level computing and control capabilities, isn't it normal for our thinking speed to be slightly faster than that of ordinary people?"

The silver-haired girl gracefully lifted her hair, and it was not until the next moment that the essential characteristics of the virtual soul were fully revealed.

"So... who the hell dared to come to our Far East branch to steal people? Hill! Have you found any clues? I'm going to kill them right now!"

"Ah? Ah... not yet. There's no trace of any sensors in the room. And... um, Shirley, can you calm down for a moment? You can't be impulsive about things like this..."

Frightened by Shirley's sudden angry tone, Hilton replied weakly.

He answered while carefully comforting the silver-haired girl who seemed very angry, and his unruly thoughts began to become dishonest.

That's not right... The Shiris I know doesn't get angry so easily. Even when Diana was seriously injured by a wolf cub, I didn't see her so angry.

Or is it that Yaezakura is actually Shirley's Achilles' heel? Is there some hidden love between these two girls who seem to have a casual relationship?

Paji——!

Just as Hill's mind was about to go haywire, she was suddenly slapped on the head. She raised her head in a confused and aggrieved manner, and met the silver-haired girl's scrutinizing gaze that seemed to say, "Stop it."

Well, we have known for a long time that Shiris can copy the abilities of other Herrschers. Now that she is so powerful that she can sense the emotional factors of living things, it doesn’t seem to be anything to be surprised about.

I shouldn't have thought about it at such a critical moment. I can't say anything after getting beaten...

"I'm sorry, Shiris, I'm so useless... I was on duty in the medical department, but I couldn't even protect my sick friend."

"Okay, don't take it to heart. I should have thought of it earlier. If you found any clues, you would definitely not come here to report seriously. With your personality, I'm afraid you would have already set out on your own to track down the criminal."

Theresa and Siegfried were confused by the interaction between the two. They did not immediately realize that Shirley's consciousness had captured the scattered emotional factors, and just thought it was a tacit understanding between Herrschers.

However, looking at the silver-haired girl chatting and laughing with Hill without any abnormality, Theresa's heart was once again confused. Was her suspicion of the girl just an illusion?

896 double-sided>>

No, no matter how hard I think about it, it can't be an illusion...

"The forces of Honkai cannot remain silent. Yae Sakura uses herself as the prototype of the Herrscher to delay the birth of the Herrscher of Corrosion. The Herrscher of the End will definitely try to eliminate this remaining restriction on her advent and attack her like last time... Of course, the ones causing trouble may also be some allies with ulterior motives. Since the Herrscher of Corrosion has not yet descended, I prefer to believe that the truth is the latter. In other words, Sakura is not in danger at the moment."

Shilis continued, looking at the blue-haired girl who was deep in thought beside her, and clapped her hands gently.

"Don't worry, I promise that nothing will happen to Sakura. Even if something has happened, I will restore her to her original state and make the perpetrator pay the heaviest price!"

"..."

Hearing the girl's assurance, Hill's eyes trembled, and she felt a little worried for some reason. But soon, she shook her head to dispel this inexplicable emotion and moved on to another topic.

"But Shirley, your remarks today are really surprising! Could it be that you...are actually the type with a very flexible mind?"

"Hmm? It's just a simple guess... Why do you suddenly feel that way?"

Faced with the girl's normal question with her head tilted, Hill, who was touched by the cuteness, became excited and immediately became outspoken.

"It's just a habitual impression! I used to think that everyone in your Kaslana family was a bit... er, what I mean is, I thought that everyone in your Kaslana family was just stupid people who only knew how to fight, and they were not... pure warriors who were not good at thinking. But I didn't expect that you, Shirley, are so good at thinking..."

"..."

"Um... Shiris?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl who fell into silence, Hill tentatively called out softly and poked the petite girl who didn't move.

"I suddenly understood why Kevin shot you in the previous era."

"Eh......?"

"Besides, my emotions...are a little out of control."

The silver-haired girl whispered softly, her bright smile and her head slightly tilted to one side, somehow becoming weird in Ciel's eyes.

"Uh...hahaha, I...I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere. Are you going to be angry about this, Silis? No way? Is there really anyone who would take a joke seriously?"

"I'm sorry, dear Miss Hill. I get angry very easily now!"

Without caring about the other two people who were standing there in a daze, as Hill's face turned blue, golden light gathered in the girl's hands, and she directly constructed a mace that was bigger than her body, and slowly walked towards the blue-haired girl who was curled up in a ball.

"Don't worry, I won't turn you into Hill-chan in an instant. I'm just letting out my emotions gently, and I'll give you plenty of time to recover along the way~ Now, are you ready~?☆"

"Perhaps, I should say nice things to you guys."

"..."

"Are you confused? Why do you feel strange when you open your eyes again and again while lying in the Far East Medical Department waiting for someone to collect your body?

Miao Hui came to an unfamiliar place?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in her ears. The cherry-haired girl's eyelashes trembled slightly. She blinked in confusion and slowly adapted to the dimly lit environment.

"You want to use your own method to inherit the wish of an important person to protect this world? Well... I admit that your starting point is indeed good, but now, there is a small problem."

As her hazy vision gradually became clear, the first thing Yaesakura saw was a silver-haired girl sitting on a rock in the cave, looking at her with a slightly teasing expression.

The black knife held in the girl's hand is... Jizo's Soul? !

Can it actually strip away the conceptual-level God's Key?

Not paying attention to Yaesakura's surprise, the silver-haired girl just paused slightly and raised a scornful arc at the corner of her mouth.

"The situation is no longer the same as before. The foolish decision you made will only accelerate the destruction of this world!"

897 Yaezakura's Choice

"..."

So, what's going on? According to what the silver-haired girl said just now, Yae Sakura should have continued her questioning, elicited her answer, and started to understand the so-called truth.

However, the awakened cherry-haired girl did not do so. After a brief moment of surprise, she began to look around curiously, looking at the cave filled with various mechanical instruments. Soon, she found Benares looking at her furtively behind a terminal.

"Bella?"

“Eh…!”

The moment her eyes met with Yae Sakura's, the purple-haired girl who was secretly observing lowered her head, facing her friend with a guilty conscience. Although she did nothing during the whole process, she seemed to be considered an accomplice by default when she was with this silver-haired girl...

Benares was a little scared. Even if it was just a brief misunderstanding, if Yae Sakura thought she was a kidnapper, she would be very uncomfortable. No matter who you are, you don't want to be questioned by your important friends.

"Really Bella…Why are you here too? Did you bring me here?"

"No...I..."

"My fusion with the corrosive energy seems to have completely stopped. Did you strip away the Jizo spirit?"

"It wasn't me, it was Lady Sirin... She severed the connection between you and the Key of God and took out the knife."

"But...if I lose my Herrscher qualification now, there will be another being who will be promoted to the Herrscher of Corrosion. Bella, did you know this premise when you seized the Key of God?"

"I... don't know, this is all Lady Xilin's plan..."
