K424 of the Collapse World

"Then... swear in the name of the Kaslana family, are you sure that what you said is true?"

"I……"

The girl subconsciously wanted to answer, but the next moment, the word "Kaslana" exploded in her mind like thunder. Although the girl didn't know what the so-called "Kaslana" meant, deep in her heart, she didn't want to violate the "Kaslana's oath" anyway...

Seeing the girl who was speechless for a moment, a hint of gloom flashed across Otto's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

“Haha…hahahaha…! This is really funny. To be honest, your performance really exceeded my expectations, k–0… Well, I didn’t intend to tell you this so early, but now, it seems like it’s time…”

Otto crossed his arms and spoke in a low voice. However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Originally, he just wanted to take this girl to test the weapons, but now it seems that something unexpected has happened.

"I really underestimated you, K-0... Although there are some deviations from the original plan, this development is more interesting..."

As Otto spoke, he turned around, leaned against the wall of the metal corridor next to him, and looked directly at the silver-haired girl in front of him.

"Obviously, even though your memory is not clear, it seems that you should have realized something, right? About your own identity..."

As soon as Otto opened his mouth, he dropped a bombshell.

"Could it be that……"

"That's right! Just as you thought, you are not an artificially created experiment, but a real human being... In other words, you once had your own parents and family... But you probably can't recall these memories yet."

"My parents...?!"

The girl was stunned for a moment. She never expected that the

A guess in my mind turned out to be the truth...

"Then they..."

"Hehe...what are you thinking about? Stop dreaming. If they can still protect you, then why are you here?"

Watching the girl's hopeful eyes dim in an instant, Otto smiled and shook his head. Although he didn't think playing with other people's feelings was a fun thing, the girl's behavior still made him want to laugh.

"Don't be so sad. I haven't finished yet. Although your mother has indeed been confirmed dead, your father is still alive."

"……Where is he?"

Despite being fooled repeatedly, the girl still looked at the blond man with burning eyes. To her, her past was like a blank sheet of paper, but now she suddenly knew that she was not just an experimental subject, but a human with relatives. This matter naturally became her spiritual support.

And this is exactly what Otto wants...

Looking at the anxious silver-haired girl, Otto's smile gradually became intriguing.

"As for your father... He is in my hands now. After all, he is a serious criminal in our organization. Based on his crimes, I can take his life at any time!"

"What……"

Seeing the girl's eyes slightly widened in surprise, Otto chuckled in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

"But don't worry. I won't do anything to him for now. The reason you are here and accepting our experiment is for this reason. As the saying goes, a son pays for his father's debts. As his daughter, the same applies to you."

Otto said calmly. Even if it was all his lies, with Otto's acting skills, ordinary people couldn't tell the truth from his words. What's more, the information exchange between Otto and the girl was not equal at all.

Even though Siegfried had actually escaped from his destiny long ago, the girl who had lost her memory had no idea about it. That was why Otto dared to distort this fact unscrupulously.

"Originally, after you remembered these things, your memory would be erased again. But... now I suddenly changed my mind. After all, brainwashing means re-education. We don't have that much time to waste on you, k-0."

The girl listened silently. After Otto finished speaking, she raised her head slightly and looked at Otto with a complicated look.

"And what do you want to do with me, Bishop?"

"It's simple. Just obey me completely! If you agree to this condition, I can forgive your previous actions and guarantee your father's safety. Otherwise..."

Otto paused, looked at the girl's serious expression, chuckled and continued.

"Otherwise, I will have to dissect you and execute your father. After all, we at Destiny don't need to keep useless things in the base. K-0, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, the girl secretly clenched her teeth.

How to do?

The girl bit her lips unwillingly as she secretly looked at the man in front of her with the corner of her eyes. Suddenly, her eyes focused and gradually became sharper.

At this moment, an idea came into her mind.

She could feel that there was no sense of being spied on in this corridor, and the man was only five steps away from her. Then, even with the suppression of soul steel, she could exert more than 50% of her strength in an instant...

The atmosphere in the corridor was almost frozen. On the other side, Otto felt a faint sense of danger in the air, but he still maintained his elegance and smiled at the silent silver-haired girl in front of him.

But the girl did not move, but looked at Otto expressionlessly. After a long while, she sighed softly, and the oppressive feeling in the corridor disappeared instantly.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Bishop... I will obey all your instructions..."

Her tense body relaxed, the girl lowered her head, and returned to her previous weak appearance.

"Yes, it seems that you are not as stupid as your father."

Otto chuckled and said lightly, but the girl silently clenched the hem of her skirt and closed her eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't pursue what happened just now. As a member of the Kaslana family, your behavior just now is reasonable. If you don't want to kill me, I will suspect that you are a fake."

Seeing the girl looking like she was ready to endure something, Otto waved his hand casually and said calmly.

087 Test>>

"Anyway, I'm glad you made the wise choice, k–0."

Otto said, walking towards the girl and standing directly in front of her.

"Ah... The appearance of the Kaslana family is exactly like her no matter how you look at it... Hehe, K-0, you look exactly like her when she was a child, even your personality is the same. Your strong mental strength that never gives up reminds me of her more than once..."

Otto looked down at the girl and murmured. Although the girl didn't understand what the bishop meant, she could feel that the blond man's eyes became more and more gentle when he said this.

But obviously, this tenderness was not for herself.

He looked at Otto with a wary look on his face.

"Who... is she you are talking about?"

Suddenly hearing the girl's voice with doubt in it, Otto came back from his fantasy, chuckled and shook his head.

"You don't need to know this, k-0. Now that you have decided to obey me, you should know what you should do!"

"Yes, Your Excellency..."

The girl answered and then stopped talking, but her slightly fluctuating eyes revealed her inner unrest.

"Originally, I was going to give you a weapons test today, but it looks like that will have to be postponed... Let's try this first, k-0."

Otto said as he snapped his fingers.

———Ding!

At this moment, the girl's collar suddenly emitted an electronic beep. Before she could react, she felt her brain tremble! As the energy wave spread from the collar around her neck, her whole body's strength was instantly taken away, and her consciousness quickly blurred...

"This is……?"

The girl's body swayed, and she fell to her knees on one knee, raising her head with difficulty to look at Otto.

"I forgot to tell you before that when the limiter was activated before, only the soul steel rings on your limbs were effective, not this improved energy blocking collar."

Otto looked coldly at the girl kneeling on the ground and continued speaking.

"Since you have decided to obey orders, I will remove the restrictors on you and leave only this collar. This will make it easier for you to move, and you will be able to exert even greater strength. So, I will let you experience this higher-level restrictor in advance."

As the girl listened to Otto's explanation, her mind became more and more dizzy.

(It turns out that he can activate this device with just a thought...)

Thinking of this, the girl's expression turned bitter, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

(As expected, it’s impossible to break the current situation. Who knows what else this bastard has done to me…)

With a muffled sound, the girl fell to the metal floor of the corridor. In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she thought of what Otto had said before...

"If you agree to this condition, I can forgive your previous actions and guarantee your father's safety..."

(I hope you can keep your promise... Your Excellency the Bishop...)

For the sake of her father, the girl has decided to give up her previous idea...

Otto looked at the unconscious girl and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha... How stupid, but that's exactly what you are. But... you were able to hold out this long before losing consciousness, which is pretty impressive."

At this moment, a door on the side of the metal corridor suddenly opened, and Claudia slowly walked into the corridor. When she saw Otto and the unconscious silver-haired girl, her pupils slightly dilated.

"Lord Otto...? Why are you here? What's going on with k-0?"

"Oh...? What a coincidence, you're here too... But it just so happens that I was just about to call you over, Claudia."

Like Claudia who was slightly surprised, Otto did not expect Claudia to come here suddenly. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he smiled and greeted her.

"Lord Otto, we should take her to debug the weapon today, but this is...?"

“Don’t worry, Claudia. I’ll tell you what happened…”

……

After hearing Otto's explanation, Claudia's eyes widened.

"Excuse me, Lord Otto, but you are playing with fire!"

Claudia said in a low voice, glancing at the fallen girl with lingering fear.

"Why would we go to all that trouble when we already have complete control over her?"

Otto had just told her exactly what had happened. Claudia was a little confused as to why Otto always liked to do dangerous but meaningless things. If the girl just now lost control of her emotions and went berserk, how would it end?

"Playing with fire? What's wrong with that? It was precisely because primitive people played with fire that they accelerated the development of civilization at that time. Don't always be restricted by common sense, my adjutant."

Otto said with a chuckle, not caring about Claudia's puzzled look.

"Don't worry. I know the Kaslana family's personalities very well... Kiana won't act rashly if I use this to threaten her."

Otto said this with a confident look on his face. Even so, Claudia was still a little worried.

"But...what if we are exposed? In fact, we haven't caught Siegfried at all..."

"So what? As long as no one tells her, she will always think that her father is in our hands. Besides, I never said to remove her collar. Even if she recovers her memory on her own, we can just use the collar to subdue her and repeat the previous process. The only problem is that it's a little troublesome..."

At this point, Otto shook his head, his tone filled with regret.

"

Is there no way to directly control her brain? Although K-0's combat power is amazing, if it needs to be formatted every once in a while and then retrained for a period of time, it would not be worth it. "

"About this, Lord Otto. According to intelligence from some time ago, I heard that the 'World Serpent' is researching something in this area. Do you plan to..."

"No need, I was just expressing my feelings. The World Serpent... we don't need to have any contact with that kind of organization right now. Anyway, that's it..."

Otto waved his hand and ended the topic.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of which, Claudia, you came here suddenly. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Hearing Otto's question, Claudia nodded and her expression became serious.

"Yes, Lord Otto. She... Miss Fu Hua is back."

"What?! Did she bring anyone back?"

"No, she's the only one."

"oh……?"

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Otto's eyes, and then his look became intriguing.

"So soon...did she just come back?"

"Yes, it is said that the branch in the east sent her back..."

"I need to see her right away! Claudia, take K-0 back to the Saint 7308 Research Institute. The weapon debugging will be postponed for the time being."

Giving orders quickly, Otto turned around, walked quickly into the elevator behind him, and left the corridor of the underground research institute.

Standing in the elevator, Otto's expression gradually became solemn.

"She's back...? But the tracker on her body was destroyed. What happened?"

Otto was somewhat puzzled by these questions. But he suppressed them. Otto believed in Fu Hua's character, and the most important thing now was not these.

"k424... who are you? If we ask her, maybe the answer will be revealed..."

As the elevator door slowly closed, Claudia watched Otto disappear in the elevator.
