K424 of the Collapse World

"You really are a haunting ghost... Last time you were able to run into my consciousness platform to cause trouble, and this time you even chased me into the imaginary space?"

"...How did you find me?"

He did not care about the hostility in the woman's words. After the girl's shadow was constructed, it flashed a few times like an unstable radio wave image, and then he asked softly in her slightly cold voice.

"It's a meaningless question. If it were somewhere else, I really wouldn't be able to accurately lock onto a virtual half-spiritual body amidst the multiple interference factors. But here... I'm the only one in this entire void world, so your entire existence is as conspicuous as if it were covered with a layer of luminous film."

907 Warning >>

"..."

"Tell me... Why are you here? Do you want to chat or fight? Or both?"

Squeezing the fist armor transformed by the simulated Houkai energy forcefully and listening to the symphony of metal colliding with each other, Shiris's expression was filled with a malicious smile.

Since the restoration of the Herrscher's power, the war has become more vigorous.

Her desire grew stronger day by day, becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. Until today, she had to rely on her willpower to restrain her strange desire for struggle and destruction, pretending to communicate calmly with her companions...

And now, the opportunity to vent seems to be coming?

"..."

"Why, you're here but don't want to talk properly? How about I ask the questions directly? For example - Lan Feng's consciousness, which was resurrected by the law of time, suddenly went to abduct Kiana. Was it you who did it?"

Looking at the shadow of the girl that had become silent as if the computer had crashed, wondering what was going on, Shiris scratched her hair thoughtfully, curled the ends of her hair beside her ears with her fingers, and barely maintained her hard-earned patience.

Before Shirley could think of a decision after her patience ran out, the phantom opposite finally came to life again. A hint of panic appeared in its stagnant eyes, as if it was afraid of something, and it shouted to Shirley cautiously.

"Sister, you must return to the real space as soon as possible!"

"Oh? Are you ordering me?"

Not caring about the words of the shadow girl, Shilis sneered with her eyes slightly narrowed, and her body had lowered down without her knowing when, and she took the most suitable sprint preparation posture for battle.

No matter what the other party's current purpose is, this agent of the Honkai Will is undoubtedly his enemy... So, there is no need to think too much!

Looking at the silver-haired woman's disapproving expression, the shadow lowered his head in disappointment.

"Sister, my soul cannot reveal too much... But no matter how serious the erosion is, your will should still be able to dominate your thinking. If you insist on staying in this space, then the reality you cherish will soon be irreversibly destroyed..."

"Stop being alarmist. I know the situation in real space very well. Just like the reality seen by the extensions of my consciousness, nothing bad has happened."

"Can you still see the 'abnormality' of the world now? I just don't know how distorted your current 'normality' has become?"

"..."

Looking at the phantom's slightly pitying eyes, Shirley fell silent, feeling inexplicably irritated.

The one who drove the collapse and destroyed civilization actually dared to blame himself? !

"You'd better stop talking nonsense! All I know now is that if we want to prevent this civilized era from getting into trouble again, we should get rid of the culprit that threatens the world - you, the End Avatar that is causing trouble everywhere!"

At this moment, Shirley's expression no longer concealed the arrogance that looked down on everything, and completely revealed the divine arrogance deep in her consciousness.

Isn't it our natural duty to defeat those non-human Herrschers of Honkai?

"I won't trust a collapsed apostle. Now, you can only choose one path... I wonder how much strength you can show this time when you haven't fully descended yet?"

908 The truth spreads

"..."

"Um... Shiris?"

In the upper meeting room of the Far East Branch, Theresa looked at the silver-haired girl who suddenly fell into a daze and collapsed in the chair like a puppet with its strings cut. She called out to her worriedly a few times and walked forward to gently push the girl's shoulder.

The long-missing Silis suddenly returned to the Far East Branch in the form of a clone, and asked Theresa to notify the other core members to gather immediately, and then sat quietly in the meeting room waiting. However, no one expected that such an unexpected situation would happen next -

"Sirissa, are you okay? Charlotte, Claire, and Wendy are back. Don't you have something to announce? Wake up quickly..."

Theresa gently pushed the silver-haired girl's body and whispered in her ear. But no matter what she did, the unresponsive silver-haired girl just sat there quietly, her dull pupils without any ripples and never focused.

Although her doubts about this girl were not dispelled, seeing the abnormal look of Shirley, Theresa's face was full of worry. No matter what Shirley became, she didn't want anything to happen to this girl again...

After realizing that her method was ineffective, Theresa turned around pitifully and cast a pleading look at the people who walked into the room behind her.

"Well...she was fine two minutes ago, and suddenly she became like this. I don't know what happened. Do you have any solution?"

"..."

Hearing this, Claire and Charlotte looked at each other, as if to confirm each other's thoughts, while Wendy, who was standing next to them, took the initiative to step forward, stretched out her hand solemnly, and touched the silver-haired girl's cheek.

Perception detection...activate.

After a brief pause, Wendy's serious expression also showed a hint of doubt.

"But Lady Shilis's vital signs are obviously normal, and there is nothing wrong with her organs and circulatory system... Lady Theresa, are you sure nothing happened before she became like this?"

"Yes! We just

We were still talking normally until I informed everyone, and then...”

Theresa spread her hands helplessly, and continued to move closer, putting her hand on the girl's forehead. But apart from the normal body temperature that she couldn't feel anything, she still didn't get anything.

It's like a corpse without a soul...just alive.

Watching the two girls' meaningless actions, Charlotte sighed softly and raised her hand to rub her eyes. When her bright amber pupils turned back into a dull green, she shook her head softly at Theresa.

"Okay, stop torturing her. I can feel that the flow of Honkai energy in this Shilis has become abnormally stagnant. According to the general nature of Honkai creatures, the flow of energy will only show such a phenomenon when the thinking consciousness is interrupted."

"Consciousness interrupted? You mean, there's something wrong with the connection between Shilis and this clone?"

Looking back at the red-haired girl with wolf ears on her head, Theresa seemed to have an exclamation mark pop up on her forehead, and she hurriedly asked.

"Based on the situation you described in the email, this should be the only possibility..."

"Miss Charlotte, can you fix this?"

"No, even Hill can't do it. How can you expect a thug like me who can only fight?"

Charlotte waved her hand curtly, crossing her arms over her chest.

"A person can use consciousness to connect across boundaries and control the actions of his clone in an imaginary space... I'm sorry, Miss Shilis's ability has completely exceeded the limits of my imagination. But since Wendy said that there is nothing wrong with this body, this situation can only be caused by something wrong with her original body..."

"..."

An accident occurred in the main body, causing the connection to be interrupted... Theresa had actually guessed it a long time ago, but she was always unwilling to admit it. Now that she heard Charlotte's straightforward point out, she had to start considering this worst-case scenario.

"If this is really the case... we can't directly interfere with the imaginary space, and Kiana and Diana, who can do this, are missing. What the hell is going on..."

908 truth spreads>>

"In short, she shouldn't react for the time being?"

At this moment, Claire, who had not joined the conversation just now, suddenly spoke and winked at Theresa meaningfully.

"How about sending Shirley to the medical center across the way first? If it's something happening across the imaginary space, it won't help if we just worry about it. How about we talk about the thing you didn't explain clearly just now?"

"..."

Hearing this, Theresa looked silently at the girl who still had no reaction. After a brief silence, she walked to the door of the meeting room and waved to the Valkyrie on guard.

"Lilan, please help send the girl to the infirmary and apply for a separate lounge for her."

"Yes, Lady Theresa."

"So, Theresa, let's not talk about the fact that Shiris suddenly came back with her clone... What exactly do you mean by 'special request' in the following email?"

After the footsteps of the guard Valkyrie gradually faded away, Claire was the first to ask, staring at Theresa with a questioning look.

"Why did you install the Moonlight Throne's anti-Honkai energy launch system in the building? And you also asked us to adjust our status in advance and execute the attack according to your secret code? Are you planning to attack Shiris? What happened?"

"This is just in case. I don't really intend to attack Shilis. It's just that her condition is too abnormal..."

"Then tell me, what's wrong with her?"

Throwing the special shield generator on the table, Claire sat down at one side of the meeting room without any hesitation and asked Theresa in a bad tone. She had joined Saint Freya as a direct subordinate of Cirith in the early days. It was needless to say which side she would choose to favor when there was a suspected rift between Cirith and Theresa.

"Regarding this, I actually received a contact from me agency half an hour ago..."

Theresa began to narrate slowly, then activated her personal terminal and displayed the information sorted out from a certain meeting record in front of these people.

Looking at the three girls' different expressions, Theresa sighed.

"That's probably it... But I don't know how to decide. In the end, I can only arrange some defensive measures in advance. I don't intend to harm her."

"But......"

"Oh I got it!"

Charlotte sneered, interrupting Wendy's rebuttal. The furry wolf ears on her head trembled restlessly, as if some bad memories were brought back, and she used her palms to cover up her instantly distorted face.

"Is this what the person whom Shilis trusts the most would do? It's really interesting... I wonder if the guy who was kept in the dark knows

What will you feel after that?”

"But I have to say that their evidence is indeed sufficient... 'A god who regards mortals as ants', the abnormal elements in her character have become increasingly clear. Even from the conversation with her just now, I could feel it..."

"Okay, okay, I don't want to refute you, I just want to express my emotions, tsk tsk..."

Theresa shook her head without comment and removed the light screen.

"In the final analysis, all these things can be put aside! The most important issue at the moment is indeed Shirley's current condition... I never thought that she would suddenly become like this at this time. Originally, we could ask directly about the matter, but now there is no way to do it..."

"No, the clue is still there."

Claire, who was holding the terminal, suddenly spoke and pushed the monitor screen towards them.

"The latest news from the North American base is that Iselin, who was trapped in the imaginary space, has returned..."

909 Levels of the Soul

In the ruins of Saint Freya, in a simple mobile cabin used to house Valkyries, a little girl with long hair was sitting on the bed. She was only wearing pajamas that were too big for her body. A string of black numbers were printed on the slightly exposed fair skin on her shoulders.

——s074k476

At this moment, the blue pupils of this silver-haired girl slightly widened, and her eyes stared straight ahead——

"On the evening of July 2017, 7, at 24:15 local time, Toyota Technology Research Company officially reached a strategic cooperation relationship with the Texas Military Contracting Department, but there are still differences on the issue of resource allocation. The United Nations will intervene and coordinate depending on the situation..."

"At 25:13 on the 9th, PETA field observers were attacked by Honkai creatures in the southern part of the Mississippi River. The Russian side had issued an emergency notice on the disaster area as early as : that day. The organization has not yet responded to the incident..."

"Here are today's special reports..."

The silver-haired girl stared at the projection TV in front of her, silently watching the news programs flashing on the screen. Her slightly opened blue eyes always looked dazed, and no one knew how much she understood.

(I see... I was wondering why they disappeared without a trace last time. It turns out that Toyuta was dragged down by that crappy military-industrial complex. What a pity. If it were just them, there would still be a chance to survive the infiltration of the Herrscher of Corrosion...)

The girl blinked her eyes, a deep blue color flickered slightly in her pupils, as if her soul was whispering deep in her consciousness, and she stared at the flickering screen with an expressionless face.

"But this time, with so many variables interfering, the situation will probably be different. But the one that ultimately determines success or failure is still..."

At this moment, as the door lock suddenly turned, the girl's eyes flashed quietly, and the unfathomable dark eyes just now disappeared in an instant, turning into pure blue, and regaining their normal luster. The lips that moved slightly while talking to herself also instantly curled up into a bright smile.

"Miyuki-sister!"

"Well, I'm back~"

The black-haired girl pushed the door open and took off her boots swiftly. She smiled and let the silver-haired girl throw herself into her arms. She raised her hand and rubbed the soft and smooth white hair of the little head, causing the girl to let out a comfortable moan.

"Lilith, have you stayed at home well today?"

"Well... I'm not a child. It's so dangerous outside, so of course I won't run around!"

"Hehe, so good~"

"I told you you're not a child!"

The girl puffed up her face somewhat in dissatisfaction. Although she had a puffy expression, she still pulled Asakura Miyuki's arm and acted coquettishly, and her whole body leaned on the black-haired girl.

This girl was, of course, the abnormal individual K476 rescued by Asakura Miyuki from Shirley, and "Lilith" was the name given to this girl by one of Shirley's clones, saying it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Asakura Miyuki naturally accepted it with pleasure.

It sounds like a name that sounds similar to Shilis, but when I think of the intriguing smile of the silver-haired girl before she left, I wonder if there is any deeper meaning...

However, compared to the timid look at the beginning, she now looks like a normal little girl~

"Hehe...Okay, let's eat quickly. I exchanged some canned food with Komona today. You should like them. Hehe...Speaking of which, that girl actually dared to replace the canned military rations with canned fruits. If Colonel Wuliangta knew about it, I'm afraid she would be punished by not being allowed to eat sweets for several months."

Asakura Miyuki said with a smile as she pulled the petite girl out of her arms, took out a few cans from her backpack and placed them on the table, poured a few cans of meat into the microwave, and began to prepare their lunch for the day.

"Canned fruit..."

Lilith tiptoed to the table and looked at the canned yellow peaches in the glass bottle on the table. She couldn't help licking the corner of her mouth, stretched out her little hand to pinch the heavy bottle, and tried to open the sealed can.

"Uh~

Um......!"
