K424 of the Collapse World

"Yes, Colonel Claudia."

Unlike Claire's frivolous voice, Lillian's voice was steady and serious. Claudia put away her watch with satisfaction and looked at the struggling experimental subject on the ground with a hint of disgust on her face.

"Dispose of it."

She instructed the guards around her and left the material warehouse without looking back. Looking at those clones, she felt annoyed...

007 Crisis>>

·————————————·

At this moment, somewhere...

"Oh my... this is really..."

The blue-haired girl looked at the flickering screen in front of her with an intriguing smile. Just now, she witnessed the whole process of Noni being arrested on this screen.

"Okay...if you continue to invade, the firewall will find you. Contact us."

The screen suddenly turned black. The blue-haired girl lowered her head, her pupils revealing a vicissitude and wisdom that was inconsistent with her appearance.

"Tesla, did you see that? It's actually your descendant..."

The blue-haired girl opened the communicator beside her and said with a smile. At this time, a girl with red twin ponytails and glasses appeared on the holographic projection displayed by the communicator, and a somewhat childish and arrogant voice came.

"Einstein, why are you so lucky? You can find such interesting information by just hacking into a loophole..."

Hearing the twin-tailed girl's somewhat jealous voice, Einstein stuck out his tongue and continued:

"Put this aside for now. That so-called K424...are you interested?"

"Well...this..."

Tesla's face was hesitant. According to what she had just seen, the people of Destiny said that such incomplete clones could not have independent consciousness. Therefore, she was indeed very interested in this mysterious K424. However, she did not want to act rashly.

"Tesla, you are in the area near the Destiny headquarters right now, right?"

"That's right... But let me make it clear first! I don't want to expose Anti-Entropy's branch!"

"Don't worry. Tianming has only sent two B-class Valkyries to retrieve K424. With the combat power of the branch, they can definitely seize the experimental subject without anyone noticing. If we act now, there is still time."

Einstein tried to persuade Tesla. Because, when she heard the news, she recalled the person she had met during her time in Tianming...

(Walter...)

He didn't know why, but Einstein developed a strong interest in the experimental subject.

"How about it? Do you want to do it? Just consider it as doing me a favor. In exchange, I will try to help your junior escape."

"Ah... okay, okay, I get it... I'm just helping you, not because I'm interested..."

"I have already captured the location coordinates and sent them to you. But... you are already so old, and you are still acting like a tsundere..."

"You... who are you calling arrogant...?!"

Tesla's face turned red and he shouted into the communicator! In response, Einstein tilted her head and unilaterally cut off the communication. She knew this long-time friend very well, and since she said so, she would definitely do it.

Einstein tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingers and yawned.

"Then... let's continue looking for loopholes in the Heavenly Firewall. Maybe we'll find something unexpected..."

At this moment, in the accommodation area outside the Tianming headquarters...

"Hey~ Lillian, are you still not well?"

"Don't worry, Building 204...ah, I found it, over there..."

On the path leading to Noni's apartment, two girls were walking hurriedly. They were wearing mechanical armor that was out of tune with the quiet environment.

These two people are naturally the Valkyries who are carrying out this recycling mission, Claire and Lillian.

Although her steps were hurried, Claire didn't feel nervous at all.

"I say... Lillian, we are just recovering a clone that has no combat capability this time. There is no need to be so cautious, right?"

Seeing her partner looking like he was facing a great enemy, Claire couldn't help but speak.

"As a Valkyrie, you can't be careless in any mission."

"…Tsk, I knew you would say that again."

Claire curled her lips, but she still didn't feel alert.

(She is just an ordinary test subject. You can’t hurt her, really…)

Due to the confidentiality of the experiment, the two Valkyries did not know the inside story behind this incident. To them, it was just a simple recycling mission.

"Huh...huh..."

In Noni's apartment, a little girl with silver hair was holding onto the wall, taking slow steps. This simple action made her gasp for breath.

"Huh... I'm finally able to stand up. But. It's already this late, why hasn't Noni come back yet...?"

Seeing that the clock on the wall had already pointed to one o'clock, Lan Feng felt a little strange. She had just made a plan to stay here to recuperate. Anyway, she had already left the laboratory, and the feeling of being watched had disappeared.

(So, it must be an illusion...right?!)

Just as Lan Feng was comforting himself in this way, the sense of crisis came over him again!

(What’s going on…an illusion? No! Something dangerous is approaching me…)

Lan Feng was a little flustered at this moment.

(As expected... I'd better stop lying to myself! How could fate let go of such a special experimental subject so easily!)

(The enemy's goal should be to capture me. What should I do... Should I give up resistance...? No! I can't accept being a guinea pig!)

Lan Feng's brain was working rapidly. However, under the strong sense of crisis, cold sweat began to seep out of her body...

"Detection on."

"Scanning the target area, please wait..."

"Found the target, started checking..."

"Verification results: similarity 92%"

The second-generation Valkyrie armor is already equipped with an advanced intelligent personal terminal capable of performing various intelligence analyses.

"Ok~ The target has been confirmed!"

Standing outside a house, Claire looked at the detection results displayed on the goggles and said with a smile.

Through the wall, with the help of the thermal imaging system, she had already seen the small figure on the second floor of the house.

"So simple..."

Claire smiled, and a blade popped out from the armor on her right wrist, and she swung it at the door lock. The stainless steel lock broke into two pieces.

"Remember the mission requirements. Don't hurt her."

"Oh, I see. Why are you so long-winded like Claudia?"

Pushing the door open, Claire went straight to the second floor...

008 Frederica Nikola Tesla

(Since they sent someone to arrest me, that means... I have already attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Mandate of Heaven?)

(Could it be... Otto?)

Da da……

Listening to the footsteps coming from the corridor, Lan Feng held his breath and thought of countless ways to escape in his mind, but none of them worked.

(Hiding under the bed? Are you kidding...)

(Jump out the window? No, not to mention whether this damn body can climb up to the windowsill, just jumping from the second floor will kill me...)

(…As expected, I have no choice but to face it…?)

The footsteps stopped at the door. Lan Feng's pupils dilated slightly as he saw the door handle of the room turn gently, and the door was opened...

"Theresa, I'm going to take action now, so you should get ready quickly."

"Hey! Wait, this is not the same time as agreed!"

Through the holographic projection, Theresa looked at the man in front of her in surprise. The agreed time for action was the next day, but Siegfried suddenly said he wanted to move it forward!

Just now, Theresa was lying in bed in her pajamas taking a nap, when she was suddenly awakened by Siegfried's call.

"Otto may have known our plan! We must act quickly. Kiana's phone is unreachable right now! I'm worried that Otto has already made a move on Kiana!"

Siegfried's face was full of worry. His daughter Kiana was receiving education at the Sky Mandate headquarters, and he could see her anytime. But since yesterday, he couldn't find Kiana!

"Anyway...! Wait a minute, the Oath of Judas is still in the weapons warehouse, and..."

"Please, Theresa."

——Beep!

As the communication was cut off, the holographic projection disappeared. Theresa stared at the empty wall in front of her and froze in place.

"Ah! That idiot Siegfried!!"

"Oh~~Is this the...um...k424? It looks cute!"

After opening the door, Claire immediately found the silver-haired girl standing in the middle of the bedroom looking up and looking at her with clear eyes.

Claire discovered that the girl was only wearing a white coat, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin. The back of the coat was dragging on the ground.

"Lillian, look, she's staring at me!"

"Claire, stop playing around and quickly retrieve the experimental subject."

Lillian frowned, she felt something was wrong, so she unfolded the folding box used to recover the experimental subjects and urged Claire to carry out the task.

"What's the hurry~"

Claire said as she took a step forward. However, as she moved, the silver-haired girl took a step back slightly.

"who are you?"

Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ear, and her evasive gaze due to fear made one want to protect her.

"Look! Lillian, this! This is completely different from those stupid clones! No wonder... the higher-ups asked us to retrieve her without any damage!"

"……Um."

Lillian was also a little surprised. In the Destiny Organization, she often saw ordinary clones used for experiments, but for some reason, those clones always looked dull. This was the first clone she had seen that was so spiritual.

Having said that, Lillian did not forget the mission.

"Hey, Claire..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her companions had come over.

"Hey little sister, we are not bad people. We are here to take you home."

"go home?"

The little silver-haired girl had a puzzled look on her face, and raised her hands slightly to protect her body.

Seeing this, Claire became playful and decided to try to communicate with this interesting experimental subject.

"By the way, you probably don't have any memories, right? Tianming's laboratory is your home! As long as you follow us back obediently, you can enjoy the highest treatment!"

(Of course... as a test subject.)

Adding this in her heart, Claire took off her goggles, put on a smile on her face, looked at the little girl in front of her, and stretched out her hand.

Behind her, Lillian, who was holding a folding box and restraints in her hands, was slightly startled and knew what Claire was planning.

(Hmph... unnecessary.)

It seemed that Claire was trying to trick the young clone into going with her voluntarily.

(Forget it... This is fine. This test subject looks very fragile. If I capture her by force, it would be troublesome if I accidentally hurt her...)

So Lillian just stood there and watched Claire (and Lan Feng) perform.

"I... don't want to...! It's so dark there... I'm scared... I don't want to go back..."

The silver-haired little girl's voice was tearful. Looking at Claire's helpless gaze, she squatted down, holding her head with her hands and shaking slightly.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Lillian's sneer behind her, Claire felt a little embarrassed.
