K424 of the Collapse World

“Please, you will never go wrong if you listen to me…! That man, Dr. Tesla is back!”

"what?!"

At this moment, the man's expression became panic-stricken...

085 Confrontation>>

The main building of Dongnanhai Electric Co., Ltd. is a large hexagonal building complex. Although it is not very high, it covers a large area. The seemingly separated office buildings are actually connected by dense metal plank roads, but they are regular and look grand but not messy.

At this moment, in a certain corridor, a girl with red twin ponytails led a short purple-haired girl towards an office deep in the corridor.

Along the way, when the employees who happened to pass by the corridor saw the red-haired girl, they would bow slightly or greet her politely.

Tesla just nodded in response. After a while, the number of people in the corridor gradually shrunk. Tesla breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and looked at the girl who had been following him silently with her head down.

Looking at the girl's messy purple hair, Tesla suddenly became concerned.

“Sai… Shiris, come to think of it, why are you like this…?”

Hearing this, Lan Feng, who was walking slowly, stopped and raised his head with a helpless look.

"If you don't get used to my name soon, you'll be exposed, Tesla... By the way, you haven't seen me like this before, right? This is just a way of using Honkai energy to fill my body surface and use it as a dye."

"Then why did you...?"

"I'm just hiding my identity. If I use my true appearance, with the appearance of Kaslana blood, some people with ulterior motives will inevitably become suspicious, and then it will only cause some unnecessary trouble."

Lan Feng said this calmly. In fact, she was still a little worried. If she went around with silver hair and blue eyes, would it cause any trouble for Kiana?

(Also… Cocolia has seen me like that, so it’s a bit troublesome. I hope there won’t be any accidents in the future… It should be fine. Cocolia didn’t seem to have any contact with Kiana before 2014.)

Lan Feng thought quietly and didn't say anything else, but Tesla didn't remain silent like her.

"By the way... Shirley, I've already greeted Aiyin. Do you remember Aiyin? She's the unkempt girl with messy hair. You've met her before on the newsletter. She's waiting for us in the office... Shirley?"

"Um……?"

Lan Feng was in a trance when he suddenly heard Tesla calling his name.

, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and saw Tesla's worried expression.

"Are you really okay? Did something bad happen before?"

Seeing that Lan Feng was distracted again, Tesla asked with some concern. She could see that the girl's face was full of worries, and she was obviously thinking about something that made her upset.

"No... don't worry. That kind of thing... anyway, who knows what will happen in the future, don't worry Tesla, I'm really fine."

Lan Feng closed his eyes and said softly. Indeed, no matter how much impact this incident will have on the future, he is powerless now. So, worrying about these unpredictable future events is meaningless.

"By the way, Tesla...why did those employees look at me so strangely along the way?"

Suddenly thinking of this matter, Lan Feng suddenly became concerned and asked Tesla. Speaking of which, when she was at the Anti-Entropy Base in Europe, the researchers there also looked at her with such eyes...

Lan Feng could understand those concerned looks. After all, a child following the executor Tesla would inevitably attract other people's attention. But what about those looks of pity mixed in with them?

“Eh…?! This… No, don’t worry about those guys! Who knows what those researchers are doing every day without taking their work seriously…”

"Oh~~?"

Suddenly remembering a rumor about herself, Tesla's face suddenly turned livid, and she said with a guilty conscience. After hearing her words, Lan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and deliberately prolonged his voice.

"Anyway...anyway! This isn't an important matter, Se...Shiris, you don't have to worry about these details at all!"

"Okay, okay~"

Lan Feng curled her lips and stopped talking about this topic. Although she was somewhat concerned about this matter, there was no malice in the eyes of those people. In that case, there was no need for her to ask more questions.

As they were talking, the two had already reached the end of the corridor. In front of them was a somewhat old office door.

"This is my lounge. Let's go in. Aiyin is inside."

When he got here, Tesla did not stop, but pushed open the door in front of him.

"Sorry for the wait, Aiyin."

Lan Feng followed Tesla's footsteps into the door, and the next moment, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"This is……?"

What came into view was a messy office, with all kinds of strange instruments scattered on the ground, and the desks were piled with unknown mechanical parts. In the corners, there were countless empty wine bottles and fast food packaging bags. The whole large room was almost packed...

In such a crowded house, a blue-haired girl stood in a small area in front of the only desk without clutter, staring at the wall clock in a daze. She turned around only after hearing Tesla's voice.

"You are half an hour late, Dr. Tesla."

Einstein said lightly, looking at Tesla who stepped over the debris on the ground and walked into the room, and sighed softly.

"Don't be so long-winded. I traveled across half the Pacific Ocean to get back. You should be thankful that I'm only half an hour late, Chicken Coop Hair."

However, what responded to her was Tesla's blunt voice. But Einstein was already accustomed to this and was not moved.

"Dr. Tesla, I have dressed up well today. Compared to me, your office is still as messy as before..."

Hearing this, Tesla looked around and was about to say something, but suddenly he heard Lan Feng's resentful voice coming from behind him.

"Um... Tesla...? Is this your office?"

Standing at the door, Lan Feng looked at the space inside the door, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. To be honest, Lan Feng didn't expect that Tesla seemed to be quite particular about dressing, but who knew that her room would look like this...

Lan Feng had to admit that the level of clutter in this room was far beyond anything he had ever seen in his previous life.

Even Lan Feng herself, who often stays at home, would never mess up her room like this.

Tesla suddenly felt embarrassed when he clearly saw the look of disdain in Lan Feng's eyes.

"Uh... this, this is not a problem, it's just a little messy! Besides, this should be the most suitable place for conversation, and no one will disturb our conversation."

"..."

Originally, Lan Feng didn't want to enter this messy place at all, but under the circumstances, she had to follow Tesla's example, carefully avoiding the clutter and walking into the room.

Speaking of which, Lan Feng was originally thinking whether the place he was going to would be the grand scene of a secret organization seen in the movies. But now, standing in this shabby room comparable to a garbage disposal plant, looking at the two anti-entropy executors, Lan Feng only felt the sound of something breaking in his heart...

(At this rate… am I going to become a welder or a mechanic soon…)

“This is our first time

Let's meet face to face, right? Miss Cecilia. Oh no, I should call you Miss Cecilia now."

At this time, Einstein suddenly spoke. She looked at Lan Feng with a slightly scrutinizing look in her eyes.

"Well, long time no see... Dr. Einstein."

Lan Feng also recovered from his resentment towards the environment. He sighed softly, sat casually on a round mechanical body beside him, and looked back at Einstein.

At this moment, she suddenly felt as if she were in another world. The last time she met Einstein, she was as weak as a second-level disabled person. But now, without realizing it, she has become a being capable of defeating the Pseudo-Rhesistant...

"I have already heard about the general situation from Dr. Tesla. Now, you intend to fulfill your promise and join us, right?"

Hearing Einstein's words, Lan Feng nodded and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, Einstein suddenly changed the subject.

"However, your identity still cannot be proven. Although you claim to be a copy of Cecilia, the clones used in the 'Second Herrscher Resurrection Experiment' of Destiny were actually created with Kiana Kaslana as the body, and you are the 424th experimental subject, referred to as K. Am I right?"

"Hey, Chicken Coop Head, didn't I tell you that Cecilia herself doesn't know this..."

"Dr. Tesla, just listen to me first, okay?"

Looking at Einstein's serious expression, Tesla opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He looked at Lan Feng, but saw that the girl also shook her head slightly.

"Okay, go ahead and ignore me. Humph..."

Tesla was immediately deflated, turned around somewhat unhappily, and no longer looked at this side.

Lan Feng looked at Einstein with a serious expression and nodded.

"That's right. I'm not the real Cecilia Shaniat. I'm just a cheap clone. Is that what you want to say, Dr. Einstein?"

"You misunderstood, Miss Hillis. I am not looking down on you. I am just stating the objective facts."

Einstein said, always maintaining her unique weak voice.

"To put it simply, I don't trust you, Miss Cecilia."

Following Einstein's voice, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense. Lan Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and then he smiled slightly.

"is it really like this?"

086 Compromise

Hearing Lan Feng's voice with a hint of laughter, Einstein frowned slightly.

"what do you want to say?"

"Just stating the facts, just like you do."

Einstein was not moved by Lan Feng's avoidance of the question, but just sighed softly.

"What I just said should be quite clear, Miss Cecilia. We should have met, albeit briefly, during the Siberian Campaign ten years ago, but you didn't show any sign of knowing me. However, Tesla's reason for this is that your memory is incomplete and you may have forgotten these unimportant things. So, let's not talk about this for now."

Einstein said all this in one breath, with almost no pause in her words.

"According to what you said, you do have Cecilia's memories, and you have proved this through facts. However, I heard that you are also related to the Valkyrie of Destiny. Dr. Tesla has guaranteed this, and I don't need to know the details. However, as one of the executors of the conservative faction, I cannot allow a hidden person like you to enter our senior management!"

"Hey! Chicken Coop Head, this is different from what we agreed on before!"

As soon as Einstein finished speaking, Tesla shouted in dissatisfaction and glared at Einstein who had a cold face.

"Sorry, Tesla... I was just doing my job."

However, Einstein only slightly shifted his gaze, and there was no sign of compromise in his tone.

"Dr. Tesla, you have to understand that we shouldn't make such a hasty decision before the leader comes back."

"Even if these doubts are true, but! Sai... Shilis saved my life from the Valkyrie of Destiny. Doesn't this make you believe her?"

Tesla said this somewhat unwillingly, but Einstein shook his head slightly and looked at the angry Tesla.

"Don't let your emotions interfere with your rationality, Dr. Tesla. I am now basically sure that the rumor about you being a lolita lover is true. Anyway, I can't let you do whatever you want just because of your peculiar hobby."

"You guy...!"

Hearing the word "Lolita" from Einstein's words, the string of rationality in Tesla's mind suddenly broke. She took a step forward and wanted to grab Einstein's collar, but suddenly a huge pulling force came from the back of her waist belt, dragging her back directly.

"Don't be like this...Tesla."

Lan Feng's helpless voice came from behind. Tesla was stunned, and the nameless anger in his heart slowly disappeared.

As his sanity returned, Tess

La gradually calmed down.

"But...Cecilia, you..."

"Don't worry, even if I can't join Anti-Entropy, it doesn't matter much. Also, I've told you so many times, please call me 'Shiris'."

As Lan Feng spoke, he pulled Tesla's belt and asked her to sit on the mechanical body he had been sitting on before.

"Besides, it's not over yet..."

Lan Feng said softly to Tesla. After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Einstein.

"Dr. Einstein, do you really not trust me?"

"I have made it very clear just now. It's not that I can't trust you, but I can't take the risk of trusting you wrongly. You should understand this, Miss Hillis."

“Oh…really.”

Lan Feng looked at the stubborn Einstein, sighed and lowered his head.

Just when Tesla thought that the girl was going to give up, he suddenly found that she raised her head again and looked at Einstein with an intriguing look.

"Since you keep saying that you don't believe me, then why are you here?"

"...What do you want to say?"

Hearing this, Einstein's expression became a little confused. She stared at the purple-haired girl in front of her, waiting for her next words.

But Lan Feng just smiled, and his eyes gradually became indifferent as he looked at Einstein.

"Dr. Einstein, you should know that the Valkyrie that Tesla encountered was powerful enough to destroy your five advanced Titan mechas. And since I can fight her, you should have a rough idea of ​​how strong my fighting ability is?"

Hearing this, Einstein fell silent. Lan Feng ignored her and continued.

"But, knowing this, you didn't take any precautions and came to meet me in person. You even brought me here to your secret base. So I ask you, if you don't trust me, why did you do this?"

"..."

Einstein lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
