K424 of the Collapse World

(Damn it... Shiris, why did you become like this... Or is this your true personality... And even your appearance has changed...)

With a strong sense of doubt on her face, Cocolia lowered her head and thought hard. After calming down, she suddenly realized that things were not that simple...

(Strange ability, and changed eye and hair color... Wait, what does she look like... Could it be?!)

Cocolia suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Lan Feng. Her eyes changed from being cold just now to becoming more and more strange...

Finally, she sneered, turned her eyes away from Lan Feng, and looked up at the aircraft.

"Dr. Tesla... you are amazing. I admit defeat this time..."

Listening to Cocolia's words, Lan Feng felt puzzled, but she couldn't ask Cocolia directly, so she could only secretly increase her vigilance.

Suddenly, a red dot secretly lit up on the mechanical device next to Cocolia's ear, and the familiar voice of her subordinate came into her ears.

"Lord Cocolia, the tactical mecha troops have been deployed and are heading to the target area. Please issue combat orders."

"No need, let the troops retreat."

"……what?"

After the encirclement was completed, the Titan's driver was about to launch an assault when he suddenly heard Kokolia's order to retreat. He wondered if he had heard something wrong...

"Do you need me to say it again? Mission completed, everyone evacuate the scene."

After saying this, Cocolia cut off the communication directly, and her usual calm expression returned to her face.

“Shiris, follow your commander… I hope that red-haired guy won’t regret letting me go this time… hehe…”

Lan Feng looked at Cocolia with a puzzled look on her face. In her impression, this woman would not give up so easily...

(It seems that she thought that what I just said was Tesla’s instruction... It doesn’t matter. Anyway, judging from the situation, there should be no fraud...)

Not feeling the energy approaching, Lan Feng opened her eyes and took one last look at Cocolia. She moved her lips but didn't know what to say. Finally, she turned around and raised her head slightly.

(At this distance... it can be done.)

The aircraft driven by Tesla was suspended in the air at a moderate height. Lan Feng took a deep breath, bent her legs slightly, and then exerted force suddenly! As the ground cracked instantly, and amid the flying debris, her figure bounced up like an arrow from a string. The moment she approached the aircraft, she firmly grasped the landing gear of the aircraft! The next moment, the aircraft flew away into the distance, getting farther and farther away...

Seeing this, Cocolia opened her eyes wide in surprise. She had never heard of such mobility. Even the enhanced warriors created by the military using genetic modification could not do this...

As for whether the elite Valkyrie of Destiny could do it, she didn't know.

"Humph... If that's the case, then nothing makes sense..."

Looking at the aircraft gradually disappearing into the horizon, Kokolia snorted and picked up the greatsword that fell at her feet. Her weapon, Judgment of Dawn, was not seriously damaged and should be usable again after a simple repair.

While sheathing her greatsword, she connected to a communication...

"Lord Cocolia, do you have any instructions?"

After a while, hearing the mature woman's voice coming from the headset, Cocolia frowned, thought for a moment, and then gave her order.

"Ms. Grace, please help me investigate the biochip technology currently being developed. I need detailed relevant information..."

084 Go to Anti-Entropy

Thousands of meters in the sky, a black shadow flashed across the clouds like lightning, leaving a wisp of blue smoke in the slowly setting sun.

Anti-Entropy uses new technology to create a medium-sized combat aircraft that is completely powered by the conversion of Honkai energy. Even in a steady, low-speed flight mode, its speed is still enough to cross the Pacific Ocean within a few hours.

"Um...Cecilia, are you okay? You didn't say anything just now..."

Looking at the silver-haired girl lying lazily on the passenger seat, staring out the window with lifeless eyes, staring at the constantly flowing clouds in a daze. Seeing this, Tesla, who was sitting next to him, asked a question with some concern.

At that time, Lan Feng grabbed the landing gear of the aircraft and asked Tesla to start the aircraft directly. After getting rid of Cocolia, Lan Feng opened the hatch of the aircraft in mid-air and faced the strong wind blowing towards him.

She walked into the cabin of the aircraft. This series of actions was something she had never dared to think of before, but now that she had done it, she didn't feel there was anything to be proud of.

After all, with her current abilities, even if she jumped directly from the aircraft, she could still use the protection of Honkai energy to land safely. Therefore, Lan Feng's fear of heights also disappeared.

Smiling at Tesla beside him, Lan Feng stood up, grabbing the end of the seat belt.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Just a little emotional, that's all."

Lan Feng spoke lightly, his voice was soft and there was a hint of fatigue in his tone.

However, she was indeed quite exhausted, both physically and mentally...

He had fought several battles in one day, especially with Fu Hua, who had a strength beyond that of an S-class Valkyrie, which consumed a lot of his energy. Afterwards, he began to flee again without stopping before recovering from the previous battle. He also encountered Cocolia directly afterwards...

After meeting this woman, Lan Feng's mood became extremely complicated.

Kokolia's strength was even stronger than the inferior pseudo-hersr-slayer named Aimiye who she had met in the village before. But this was nothing to Lan Feng at the moment. What bothered her was her relationship with Kokolia.

Yes, no matter how you look at it, Cocolia's behavior can definitely classify her as a bad person.

For an experiment, she could take the lives of millions of people in a city lightly, with sinister and vicious means. And she claimed that she would not kill children, but now it seems that this is not a principle she absolutely abides by. Countless people died directly or indirectly at her hands.

Moreover, if Lan Feng wanted to act according to her own ideas, then in the near future, she would inevitably become an enemy of Cocolia. Unless Cocolia gave up her obsession, or Lan Feng gave up her goal, otherwise, this matter was absolutely unavoidable.

However, for Lan Feng, although Cocolia was a bad person, he was also a person who had lived with him and treated him well. Out of his conscience, Lan Feng could not easily take action against such a person.

Before, when Cocolia underestimated her, Lan Feng was fully capable of giving Cocolia a fatal blow in an instant, strangling this future enemy at this moment. However, driven by her emotions, Lan Feng could not convince herself to do so. She could not just attack someone who treated her well, this was her principle...

At this moment, looking out the window at the sky filled with red clouds, as time passed, the bloody sunset slowly sank below the sea level. Seeing this scene, Lan Feng's heart gradually calmed down.

She sighed softly and shook her head, dispelling those crazy thoughts in her mind. Letting Kokolia go this time was a reward for her kindness to her before. As for deceiving her feelings, there was nothing she could do. Although Kokolia seemed to care about these things...

(Whatever...! Just consider this as a sin that must be borne in order to achieve the goal. Anyway, next time we meet, we will be enemies, Cocolia...)

Lan Feng said silently in her heart. Suddenly, she remembered the strange expression that Cocolia showed before she left. Thinking of this, Lan Feng couldn't help but feel that the woman might have some conspiracy.

However, considering Cocolia's previous performance, it is not difficult to see that rather than compromising, she is more likely to be planning some long-term plan.

So, no matter what she plans to do, Lan Feng doesn't have to worry about it in the short term.

Although this will still be a huge problem in the near future...

(Anyway... since it's already been done, there's no point in regretting it. Besides, even if Kokolia dies, the Russian Heavy Industry Family Group will not go bankrupt, and the X-10 experiment that led to the tragedy will not stop. It may also cause some unpredictable effects in the future... But...!)

Thinking of this, Lan Feng's eyes focused. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the pure purple crystal condensed on his right hand. He squeezed it hard and turned it into tiny light particles.

(The power I currently possess is not enough to occupy a place in this world. When the Honkai energy consumed in my body is restored to a certain level, I am afraid that Ji Xuanyuan’s stigma will be used again to suppress the overly powerful Honkai energy, and it will not be able to be used normally...)

Lan Feng's expression suddenly became somewhat gloomy. If he could not activate the power of the stigmata, then he would lose a trump card, which meant that the powerful force that he already had in his hands would also be lost.

(However, there is nothing that can be done about it. At present, it seems that Honkai manipulation and stigmata cannot be achieved at the same time...)

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Lan Feng couldn't help but sigh, changed into a more comfortable position in his seat, and continued to look through the glass at the setting sun in the distance whose light was gradually fading.

Looking back, it seemed that the stars could already be seen in the horizon behind him. At this moment, the quiet night and the dim setting sun appeared on both sides of the sky at the same time. Looking at this sky, Lan Feng suddenly felt something...

(I wonder if they are okay...)

Remember before crossing, Xia Date

I often stay with my family and watch such night scenes...

Come to think of it, can I go back? That world...

"Um... Cecilia...? Are you really okay? You've been in a daze since you got on the plane, and you've been sighing. Wait, could it be... Hey! What on earth did Cocolia do to you?"

At this time, as Tesla's voice with a strange tone came from beside him, Lan Feng blinked his eyes, sat up, and stopped slumping on the back of the seat.

She stretched herself. Although the cabin was narrow, it was enough for her to stretch her arms completely. Lan Feng had completely come back to her senses at this moment and no longer thought about those troublesome things.

"Don't worry about me... It's really nothing. I just miss the old days and am a little worried about the future."

Lan Feng spoke softly, her eyes carrying a hint of sadness. Hearing this, Tesla, who was driving the aircraft, was stunned, not knowing how to respond. She thought about it, shook her head, set the aircraft to automatic flight mode, and turned to look at Lan Feng.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? Cecilia...don't worry so much. I haven't heard that the Destiny Organization has caught the escaped Siegfried, so your husband and daughter should be fine."

Tesla comforted her, but after hearing this, Lan Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. She felt deeply helpless, followed by a moment of embarrassment. It seemed that Tesla thought she was worried about her husband and daughter...

(But I am not...)

Lan Feng naturally knew that according to the original development of this world, Siegfried and K423 had not been found by destiny after hiding in a village. Besides, she was not so depressed just now because of worrying about this. However, she had always been using Cecilia's name, which was also a problem.

"By the way, Tesla... do you remember how Cocolia called me?"

"Eh...? It seems to be... Shiris?"

Tesla thought for a moment and said uncertainly. When she met Cocolia before, she was busy starting the aircraft and did not listen carefully to the conversation between the two.

"Yes, that's the name. My full name is Silis North. This is the name I used in the Cocolia Orphanage. I originally planned not to use it after leaving the orphanage, but now that it has been exposed, it doesn't matter. Call me by this name from now on, Tesla."

Tesla nodded upon hearing this. She also knew what the girl was worried about. Her identity was the Saint of Destiny, Cecilia Shaniat. Even though she was just a clone, this identity was still quite sensitive at this time.

"Cielice... Yeah, I understand. Indeed, it's not very nice to call you Cecilia in front of other people..."

Tesla said, looking at the girl's haggard face due to excessive fatigue, she couldn't help but feel distressed. Too many things happened that day. The girl must have been extremely tired after fighting with Fu Hua. But she didn't say anything, and she walked all the way, and even fought with the powerful Cocolia at the end. And now... I'm afraid this is her limit.

"Cesi... No, Silis, if you feel sleepy, how about taking a short rest? When you wake up, you will probably be in the Anti-Entropy headquarters area."

"Well, then... let's take a break..."

Hearing this, Lan Feng rubbed his eyes, turned his body sideways, pressed his waist against the armrest of the seat, tilted his head slightly, and leaned on the shoulder of Tesla next to him.

"Huh……?!"

"Sorry, the seat back is too hard. Can I borrow your shoulder?"

084Go to Anti-Entropy>>

Lan Feng made this sudden move not because she was thinking about something unnecessary, but because this posture could make her feel a little more comfortable.

After all, the exhaustion she showed was genuine.

(Isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Never mind. This kind of behavior is nothing, right? After all, I have slept in the same bed with her before…)

Lan Feng thought uncertainly. Recalling what happened when she first met Tesla, she smiled slightly, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

"Haha... Then I'll leave it to you, Tesla. Let me get into the anti-entropy thing..."

Her identity had already been exposed in front of Cocolia, so now, she didn't need to worry about anything and would continue to use this name. She had finally gotten used to this name...

"Well, leave it to me. By the way, even if I and Ain recommend you, how are you going to explain your background to the leader? Sai... Shirisi?"

"zzzzzz..."

However, before she finished speaking, the girl's steady breathing sounded in her ears. Her chest rose and fell slightly due to her breathing, and the hot air she exhaled unconsciously hit Tesla's neck, accompanied by an itchy feeling. Tesla's face turned slightly red and felt a little embarrassed.

(She took the initiative to approach me?! And acted so intimately... Could it be...! No... How could it be possible? She just borrowed my shoulder to rest. Why would I be so weird?

What do you think? )

Tesla shook her head slightly and dismissed the idea. She moved very lightly, fearing to disturb the rest of the girl next to her.

"Is the feeling I have for her really love... Humph! It's really inexplicable. Come to think of it, I've only met her a few times, so why do I have such a strange feeling..."

He grumbled softly, but as he looked at the girl's peaceful sleeping profile, Tesla's expression softened.

"Cecilia... No, I should call you Cecilia now."

Tesla muttered to herself, her eyes gradually deepening. Looking at the gradually emerging stars, she couldn't help but think of the past days. The days when she lived with her former partners in the research institute under the Empire of Destiny...

"Planck, Schrödinger, Ain, and..."

The face of the blue-haired woman appeared in Tesla's mind, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"You and her are really similar... both in character and in ideas... Edison."

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and looked at the sleeping silver-haired girl again.

"But this time, I won't let you go like I did before. I will never let you die like that idiot..."

Amid Tesla's whispers, the pitch-black aircraft streaked across the increasingly dark sky and soared into the distance.

Kokolya Orphanage in Eastern Russia...

Cocolia leaned against her desk and looked at the little girl standing at the door.

"Xing, tell me, did anything unusual happen when you first met Shilis?"

"Mom... why are you asking this all of a sudden? These little things have nothing to do with Sister Shilis's disappearance, right?"

Looking at Cocolia with a serious expression, Xing curled her lips and spoke vaguely.

"I hope you can answer the questions seriously... Xing, I asked you these questions just for Shirley. These details are really important. Speaking of which, you are also concerned about Shirley's whereabouts, right?"

Cocolia said with some displeasure, looking at the girl in front of her with a mixture of peach and purple hair, frowning slightly. The reason for the change in Xing's appearance has not been figured out by the research department yet, and now this has happened again...

(Heh... Shiris? How should I address you?)

"But, Cocolia's mother, nothing really happened during that time. I don't know where to start..."
