K424 of the Collapse World

She opened the flashing email in her mailbox and clicked on the inconspicuous email. After a brief reading, the purple-haired girl frowned.

"Captain, what's going on?"

As Jiuxiao's expression changed, the female adjutant who was watching Jiuxiao at any time through the battleship's combat monitoring immediately expressed her concern. However, the girl just shook her head slightly and casually swiped away the email page in front of her.

"Nothing... Let's prepare to return, and set the target to the Far East Airport."

"Eh? But, there should be another cleanup point in the original battle plan..."

"There's a change of plan at the last minute, and someone will help us sort it out."

In the plains of North America, the facility area of ​​the anti-entropy experimental base.

Although there have been many emergencies during this period, first Kiana escaped, then Shirley, Iselin, and Yae Sakura were lost, but the operation of Anti-Entropy will not stop. Even though Shirley is the real "vice leader" of Anti-Entropy, and the others also have important positions, the entire Anti-Entropy organization does not have to revolve around them.

As long as Walter, who can serve as the leader, is still there, Anti-Entropy will not fall into chaos. Besides, the plan was planned more than half a year ago, and all that remains is the implementation...

Whether it was the final debugging of the transfer plan or the handling of events related to the collapse, Anti-Entropy had no time to spare. Even the exploration experiment of the imaginary space was handed over to the Einstein Research Team of the Far East Branch, and the headquarters completely returned to its previous operating mode.

But today, with the return of a missing person, the seemingly stable situation was once again disrupted...

"Dr. Iselin, Leader Walter will meet with you in half an hour..."

"No, I'm going to find him now."

The green-haired girl passed the receptionist and walked through the metal passage in front of her, going straight to the core area of ​​the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, taking the straight elevator leading to the central facility and heading to the office where Walter often stayed.

"By the way, first send me the intelligence logs of the days after I disappeared, as well as the information about Saint Freya in the Far East... Never mind, I'll check it myself, no need to bother."

A complex photon layer unfolded around the green-haired girl, and the ultra-micro processor synthesized by the Herrscher's ability started to work, connecting to the heavily defended anti-entropy network with consciousness, and hacking into the intelligence of the Far East Branch on the other side of the planet, and began to review the highest level of confidential files.

"Even Diana and Yaezakura are missing? What on earth is going on! Hmm? This is..."

Looking at the latest internal intelligence of the Far East Branch, Iselin suddenly stopped.

"Have Shilis's clones stopped moving?!"

912 The foggy road ahead

Iselin went to the central area and just stood there in a daze.

The Far East intelligence in front of her, which was updated ten minutes ago, was quietly reflected on her energy light screen and displayed in front of the green-haired girl with a look of astonishment.

"Dr. Iselin? What... is wrong with you?"

Looking at the green that suddenly stopped ahead

The Anti-Entropy member who was traveling with her asked anxiously, but they did not dare to approach the girl whose body was flashing with electric currents and arcs of light.

The creations of Iselin's Herrscher abilities covered her entire body at all times, including quantized super-calculation devices and nano-scale computing cores, which could provide a variety of powerful special abilities at any time. But now, as the command tower of these creations - her own consciousness - temporarily lost control, these creations that were on the verge of going berserk also emitted dangerous electric currents, once again showing the danger of collapse...

"No... This is impossible! It was only fifteen... twenty minutes ago that I opened the channel. Before I left, she was still remotely controlling those avatars. Why did she suddenly..."

The split mental energy controls the actions of the prosthesis, and the clone, which is no different from a puppet, will stop moving. The only possibility is that the connection with the original body is broken.

So why is the link broken?

Holding her head, Iselin was in a panic for a moment. According to the almost no difference in time, could it be that she had just left the imaginary space and Shilis, who was left at the other end, had encountered an unexpected attack?

External enemies... No, in that world, let alone Honkai beasts, there was not even a trace of energy fluctuations from living creatures, so how could there be a sudden attacker? Moreover, with the power of the law that restrains the Herrscher, what existence could defeat her in an instant? Force her to release the mental connection?

Or is it that the cause of the accident is actually some kind of rule-level phenomenon...

Could it be that her space channel disrupted the rules of the imaginary world? However, she clearly had the ability to tear space apart. Even if space collapsed, she would not be harmed by the fragile space structure, right?

What on earth just happened…!

"We must go back...return to the imaginary space to check on her condition!"

Iselin raised one hand, roughly but accurately controlling a large amount of Herrscher's Honkai Energy, intending to create a straight path through space again in the airspace in front of her, opening up a path to the imaginary space...

The converged and intertwined particle energies formed an annihilation zone, rapidly distorting the stable structure of the spatial layer; the invisible spatial barrier began to crack like fragile glass, and the fragments formed a long corridor behind the gradually broken mirror, forcibly connecting the alien space with opposite rules with this reality!

"Iselin...Doctor?"

The space in front of them was crushed and peeled off, twisting the surrounding scene in the center like a black hole. Looking at this completely incomprehensible picture, the young anti-entropy member even forgot to turn around and run away immediately, staring at the entire process of the construction of the law in disbelief.

But at this moment, the dark red energy curtain fell quietly and invaded the invisible black spiral! The next moment, the torn and reorganized space fragments flew back to the center of the twisted vortex, and the gravitational curtain directly bent the gradually distorted metal corridor back to its original state...

hum-

The force field was lifted, and the soul-shaking energy ripples dissipated, completely resetting the distorted space layer. Iselin watched her space channel suddenly collapse, and blinked dully. When she subconsciously raised her eyes, she saw a brown-haired man holding a dark red orb, walking towards her.

Even though he no longer possesses the Herrscher Core, Walter's physique, which has been tempered by the energy of the Honkai, coupled with his rich knowledge of the analysis of the Ninth God Key, can still easily manipulate the abilities of the Star of Eden and even interfere with the laws.

912 The foggy road ahead >>

"Calm down, Iselin."

"Mr. Walter... But Miss Hillis..."

"But this is not a reason for you to act rashly. Try to calm down first. Impulsiveness is a taboo for those who control the power of the Herrscher. Don't forget the promise you made when you inherited this core, Iselin Levicius."

After deactivating the Star of Eden, Walter placed the dimmed Deep Sphere back into the mechanical container in his hand. Looking at the green-haired girl who was still panicking, his expression became slightly serious.

"I know that Shilis's remote clone has stopped functioning. This kind of emergency is indeed worthy of attention, but before we take action, shouldn't we first sort out the intelligence? According to the situation you just described in the terminal, you rushed to find me as soon as you returned to this world. There must be other reasons, right?"

"But Kiana and Diana are still missing. I am the only one who can interfere with the imaginary space...!"

"If there really is a threat on the other side of space that even Shilis can't solve, what can you do if you go back there?"

"I......"

Iselin opened her mouth and finally realized something. The rationality in her eyes overwhelmed her impulsive panic and brought her runaway consciousness back under the control of reason.

"......I see."

"Come with me first. I have already conveyed the news of your return to Saint Freya's Far East Intelligence Department. At least, you should talk to them first..."

————————·

When a small commotion subsided, at the other end of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, a server center on the middle floor, a hundred meters away from the central area of ​​the 35th floor underground, an inconspicuous figure slowly walked into the microcomputer area...

He was a white man in an operator's uniform, and was obviously a common grassroots member of Anti-Entropy. It was not uncommon for engineers like him to go in and out of the server room of the external terminal.

If you ignore the lifeless eyes with dilated pupils and the unusually stiff steps, there is really nothing suspicious.

Da... Da... Da... Q group: 543659389*...

The long and heavy footsteps stopped quietly. The young man in gray work clothes was already standing in front of the isolation wall of the terminal core. He ignored the warning words "Keep Out" next to it and pressed his hands in front of the transparent barrier.

bang——

The man tilted his head back high and slammed it hard against the surface of the glass wall, making a dull impact sound.

Then, he raised his head again, repeated the action just now, and smashed his head on the surface of the glass wall...

Once, twice... ten times, twenty times. The even sound of the impact continued to echo in the empty basement, until the man's forehead was torn open, his face was bloody and his bones were exposed, but he never stopped, repeating the slow and painful suicide action.

Finally, the barrier, which was not made of reinforced glass, shattered under repeated impacts. The man's body fell down and hit the solid metal server host. The overflowing blood quickly left several bright red marks on the metal shell.

At this point, the man completely stopped his actions, leaving behind a corpse lying on the terminal motherboard...

913 Diffusion

"Huh? This is..."

The man sitting in front of the Anti-Entropy main server processing terminal saw the fleeting abnormal record in the huge data flow on the screen, his eyelids jumped, and he subconsciously took a picture of the information control panel at hand, making a loud knocking sound.

"hiss......"

Reversing the monitoring records of the data flow slightly, the man quickly browsed through the extremely complex and messy codes. After scanning the error address several times in a row, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"What's wrong Max, did you accidentally spill coffee on the keyboard again?"

"No, um...nothing, just a minor data error."

The man answered his colleague's questions calmly, turned off the surveillance record, pushed his glasses without changing his expression, and slightly stretched his stiff neck.

"Ha, I think so. If you break another keyboard, it will be a bit troublesome to claim reimbursement this month. By the way, what kind of data error was that?"

"The monitoring error message was caused by an abnormal browsing record address of the terminal in the main mechanical warehouse of Ki7. But I have just checked carefully. There is no browsing record on the private network of Ki7. It should be just an abnormal information of the intelligent system."

The man picked up the coffee cup beside him, took a sip while speaking, and tapped the terminal keyboard with one hand. With his skillful movements, the data monitoring page was immediately cancelled and returned to the administrator homepage just now.

"Oh? This is really rare..."

"It is quite rare, but given the operating logic of intelligent systems, this kind of error does have a chance of occurring."

"Anyway, I've never seen EIN's data processing errors in the past few years. Hey! Could we have been hacked by some hacker?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Tianming's technicians have spent so many years trying to break into our firewall but failed. How could it be hackers? Are you questioning Dr. Tesla's skills? That executor is quite petty. Be careful that she will do something bad to you in the future."

"Hahaha... I was just saying it casually. Don't be surprised. After all, it's a rare intelligent system anomaly. I can't help but think about it more..."

"Okay, this topic is really boring. Isn't it time to change shifts soon? Old Corvo, let's go to the smoking room together?"

"OK......"

The two of them didn't notice that the power indicator light on the idle standby terminal in the corner of the control room quietly changed from yellow to green, and the floodlit screen homepage flickered like a breathing light, gradually turning into a chaotic mosaic...

"Ah sneeze~!"

On the other side, as a loud sneeze sounded in the meeting room of the Far East Branch, the red-haired girl with twin ponytails rubbed her nose, wiped off the snot carelessly, and wiped it on her work clothes, continuing to glare at the silver-haired girl with a helpless face.

"So, you really don't intend to give me a proper explanation? Respected Principal."

"I already know the situation just now..."

"put

Bullshit! Do you think you can fool me with this kind of nonsense? I was just a few minutes late, and Shirley suddenly became a vegetable? Huh? How could such a coincidence happen? Can you really guarantee that you didn't do anything to her? "

The red-haired girl raised the wrench in her hand, looked down at the short silver-haired girl, and continued to ask aggressively. She picked up several magnetic ring machine-shaped combination machines and threw them in front of Theresa with a clang.

"..."

"You have nothing to say? Humph! The anti-Houkai energy coil and the Moonlight Throne's launch system are all equipped with this kind of thing around Shiris. Do you still dare to act innocent in front of me?"

913 spread >>

Pointing at the device parts on the ground with a large wrench, Tesla suppressed unspeakable anger in her sarcastic tone. If she had not been rational, the large wrench in her hand would have hit Theresa's head.

"..."

Looking at the girl with red twin ponytails who rushed into the meeting room and started making a scene, Theresa's expression was as if she had drunk sour and spoiled bitter melon juice. The bitterness on her face was indescribable.

She had recently sent a group message to Hillary Clinton asking them to convey the assembly order. Dr. Tesla was naturally one of the people who received the message, and she arrived after Hillary Clinton had obviously become demented.

At present, as the news of Iselin's return spread throughout the Anti-Entropy Far East Alliance, the members who had originally gathered here also temporarily left the meeting room and began to prepare to investigate the follow-up matters. Just when Theresa was about to leave last, she happened to meet Dr. Tesla who was a step late.

The suppression device for anti-Honkai creatures was indeed a safety measure she had set up to prevent Shiris from losing control. Although it was never used in the end, it unexpectedly became evidence of her guilt that she could not defend herself at this moment.

"The mental state of Shilis's clone is indeed abnormal. These are just in case. What I said just now is the truth... Dr. Tesla. If you don't believe me, you can ask the other members of the Far East Core Group, Siegfried or Charlotte. They can prove that I am not lying."

"You two can team up to deceive Shirley, who knows if you are birds of a feather!"

"I...well, whatever you say."

The silver-haired girl put her hands in her lap, closed her eyes and lowered her head. Although she was scolded, since the doctor still maintained basic rationality and did not take action directly, Theresa could bear it for the time being and wait for others to help her out.

Theresa could understand that Dr. Tesla, who already had a bad temper, acted impulsively because he was too worried about Hillis, but wasn't this kind of unreasonable behavior, which was almost like venting, a bit too much?

Forget it, just let her vent. After all, I am the principal of the entire St. Freya Academy, so I will just help the girl who is out of control to calm down.

Although the real age of this "girl" is several decades older than himself.

"I don't mind if you want to blame me! But Dr. Tesla, Iselin, who was trapped in the imaginary space at the same time as Shilis, has returned. The most important thing now is..."

"The most important thing now is to get rid of all the traitors in the Far East! I don't think Shiris would have thought that her most trusted partner would plot against her!"

"You are really..."

Theresa shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But at this moment, something strange happened at the door of the meeting room, which made the girl's eyes focus, and she immediately turned her head away.

"Poison Spider Mecha?"

The uninvited guest who pushed open the half-open door and broke into the meeting room with four mechanical legs was obviously a small poisonous spider mecha produced by Anti-Entropy. After the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy formed an alliance, some of these mechas, which were supposed to be Anti-Entropy's special products, were stationed in the Far East Branch's base. However, let's not talk about these for now...

"Hey! Dr. Tesla, are you going to call in all the poisonous spider mechas? You are too impulsive. Do you want to blow this floor down?"

"I didn't get this! This is..."

Tesla also looked at the slowly moving mech, and her eyes revealed an unspeakable puzzlement. She instinctively took out the terminal, as if she wanted to check the status of the mech's control system. At this moment, the slowly moving mech suddenly stopped, and the spherical main body head slowly leaned forward, with the front electronic eye aimed at the two people in front.
