Where is the third collapse? ! !

But at least this time, Alice won't die alone in that cramped room.

——Maybe he wasn’t necessarily dead last week?

Noticing that the signature column on the other side was not [Gong Liang An Xuan] but [Penglai Temple Jiuxiao], a feminine real name, Fu Li signed his name thoughtfully.

Well, it’s true that none of them are easy to deal with.

……

Chapter 69 "Shoot it, sharpshooter!"

In the exquisitely crafted office of President Raiden, Mei, still wearing her panda puppet costume, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at noon.

Looking down from hundreds of meters in the air, even the Titan mechas patrolling back and forth on the streets are just tiny dots.

Compared to this, the girl was more concerned about the tall building in the southwest direction.

It was precisely because of its obstruction that she was unable to see the two-story building where Fu Li and Kiana rested last night.

I wonder if they saw the message I hastily wrote in the courtyard.

With her palm pressed against the highly tempered bulletproof glass, Mei muttered to herself in her heart.

After being threatened with her father's life by a dirty and despicable adult, the girl had no choice but to go to ME Company as Cocolia ordered.

Along the way, she also used the thunder power she had just mastered to interfere with many electronic signals in Changkong City, making it impossible for Anti-Entropy to reversely deduce the location of the villa through the route she took.

This was surprisingly easy to do. In front of the girl who had awakened some of her abilities, the thunderbolts that had been known for their violence since ancient times were like humble servants under the command of the queen. The sophisticated control of energy even allowed her to secretly surround the stigmata and heart with two electric currents, so that she could go berserk and kill him before the worst happened, or greet the most grand death in the most decent manner.

She wanted to see whether lightning, which was second only to the speed of light in the atmosphere, was faster, or whether Cocolia's movements were faster.

She also believed that at that point, her imprisoned father would definitely support her actions.

Of course, the premise of all this is that after going berserk, I still couldn't save my father.

Fortunately, Cocolia has no intention of directly provoking an uncontrollable Herrscher of Thunder. After welcoming Mei to the ME Club, she arranged her in the office where Raiden Ryoma used to be and left.

“The higher you stand, the farther and more you can see.”

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner: "If you want to see farther, you need to climb higher. That's what they say in Chinese."

That was Yaoyeji who was sent to monitor Mei. This young and beautiful girl of Far Eastern descent was still dressed in a cool custom-made outfit with a naginata. Her golden hairstyle was cut diagonally at the bangs, and her elegant and refined face made her look handsome and neat.

Seeing the target return his attention to her, the adjutant continued, "It's just that the higher you go, the blurrier the details become. Some people you can clearly see on the ground, but once you're at the highest point, their faces are just blurry dots, and you don't care about them as individuals that much anymore."

Fortunately, Mei was quiet and frowned slightly, but a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her elegant lips.

If Fu Li and the others were here, they would definitely complain, "Is this guy from Dunhuang? There are so many murals!"

Given her aristocratic upbringing, the girl politely responded, "My father mentioned something similar. He said this is the price to be paid. If those in high positions still care about every little thing as much as they did when they were at the bottom, they won't be able to make any decisions."

"That sounds like something out of a garbage politician."

Yao Yeji said venomously, "I guess your father must have very few friends."

Mei wanted to refute a few things.

After a moment of recollection, she changed the subject: "I'm confused. Now that I, your main target, have been 'taken', why do you still want to stay in Changkong City?"

"You think we don't want to leave?"

The person being questioned rolled his eyes.

"Tell me more specifically?"

Mei acted like a listener, clearly trying to gather military intelligence.

Yao Yeji was not polite and sat down at the conference table in the middle of the room.

Her long legs, clad in white stockings, rested crossed on the table. She clutched her naginata and began to complain, "It's mainly because those idiots in the Far East won't let me go. They're reluctant to let ME, the Far East's largest taxpayer and technological scoop, move back to North America. Plus, the noise you guys made this time was so loud, it gave them an excuse to interfere."

You may not believe it, but Cocolia does not plan to carry out the third collapse in Changkong City.

The reason is just as Yao Yeji said, this time the commotion was too big.

When Bronya was defeated, the staff at ME Company immediately covered the entire city with a magnetic field curtain to prevent important targets from getting out of control.

Even though Changkong City can now almost be regarded as an anti-entropy enclave, this kind of behavior of killing first and reporting later is too eye-catching.

It would be fine if it were only this way. At worst, I could find an excuse to get away with it.

For example, the equipment had been in disrepair for a long time and detected a natural gas explosion in the neighboring Dongmu City.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Li began to send Shadow Phantoms everywhere to cause trouble, and the mechanical troops also made a commotion when they chased Mei and Kiana in the streets and alleys.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals, and magic is not omnipotent. In such a big city, with such a developed network, so many eyes are always watching.

Are you causing a third collapse here? Are you afraid that others won't know that the millions of people who died were related to you, Cocolia?

It's fine to do it in private, even if there are some loopholes, no one will pursue it too much.

It is obvious that the Herrscher of the Void who caused the second collapse in the millennium was forced out by the Tower of Babel laboratory established by Destiny in Siberia. Do you think how many people have openly exposed this fact afterwards?

Even the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance is fully aware of this matter, so why should he remain silent?

Don’t say that the Great Collapse occurred in the vast Siberian area and only a few people died. When this young master threw meteorites from the moon to the earth for fun, the casualties caused were over eight digits!

This is the tacit understanding between super large organizations. No matter whether it is destiny or anti-entropy, everyone is secretly covered in blood.

As long as it doesn't happen on their own territory, everyone will help each other cover up if something goes wrong.

To do something openly and recklessly is another matter entirely.

Even if Cocolia is the leader of the reformists, insisting on having his own way will only make him the target of public criticism and the target of justice by his colleagues, leaving him infamous forever.

Even though the downsides far outweigh the upsides, they're still forcing the Third Collapse on Changkong City? Yo! How many Fish Leongs are you so brave?

If the master knew about this, he would say, "Pooh! Disgusting! I always turn off the lights when I do bad things!"

Therefore, after getting Mei's human-shaped conquest gem, Cocolia was ready to leave.

The Third Collapse doesn't have to happen in Changkong City. There are international cities everywhere in the world.

I think Manila in Luzon is pretty good. If not, how about New Delhi or Buenos Aires?

The world is so big and there are so many cities, there is always one that suits you.

I never thought that everything was ready except for the east wind, but after all the operations, we were stuck at the stage of leaving Changkong City.

"The Far East officials are stalling and won't let you go? How dare a dignified Anti-Entropy Executor be held back by a few toothless wild dogs?"

Mei was stunned, and instinctively felt a sense of gloating, followed by surprise.

When the big boss of ME Company is about to leave, those insects in the Far East’s senior management don’t even have time to open the champagne, why are they still bargaining and not letting them go?

"The dispute is not complicated and can be summed up in two points."

Yao Yeji squeaked and shook the legs of her chair. "First of all, even if ME Company evacuates, we still have garrisons in multiple ports in the Far East. It doesn't really matter whether you use one leash to tie or two leashes to pull."

Instead of watching the rich man run away leaving a mess behind, it is better to find ways to get more benefits from him before he leaves.

"Secondly, they are wary of the group from the Far East Branch of the Mandate of Heaven."

"I see."

Mei understood instantly: "If the ME Club exists, it can at least contain the Destiny Branch and curb its extensive influence on the Honkai side."

"Ruzi can be taught."

The adjutant applauded: "Previously, Anti-Entropy's policy towards the Far East has always been to take both the real world and the Houkai side. This was exemplified by the port garrison and the ME Company that rose to prominence over a decade ago."

"If ME truly leaves, this land will inevitably be divided into two: reverse entropy harvesting reality, and destiny dominating the collapse. Once both sides, free of core conflicting interests, accept the status quo and shake hands, then Far East will have to cry on their own territory."

The eldest and the second oldest are both getting along and making money, so you, the third oldest, are that wealth.

After saying so many words in one breath, Yaoyeji signaled Meiyi with her eyes to pour her a glass of water to moisten her throat, but the girl who was lost in thought completely ignored her.

She curled her lips, and the storage cabinet under the water dispenser not far away opened automatically. A paper cup floated out of thin air to the water outlet and began to collect water.

The originally expensive tea bar machine had long been moved away and cleared out by Pizouliushou's employees, and the cheap water dispenser that was temporarily put aside made an annoying "gulp gulp" sound.

Noticing Mei's raised brow, the adjutant reached out to take the full cup of water, her expression calm. "It's just some small applications of telekinesis. Anything else you want to ask?"

"That's not the case, but you seem to be looking forward to leaving the Far East?"

Just by hearing these words one after another, the girl felt that this guy had been impatient for a long time.

"Don't get me wrong, Raiden Mei, I'm really looking forward to leaving this terrible country, but I'm not going to play the role of a warm-hearted older sister answering questions and solving problems for those imprisoned."

After drinking the water in the paper cup in one gulp, Yao Yeji said, "The reason I did this is entirely because of your father's dedication and contribution to the fight against Honkai."

"……Ah!"

Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but sneer.

She sarcastically said, "What do you mean by saving face? You're imprisoning a great hero who fought against the Honkai on trumped-up charges, then exploiting his safety to lure his only daughter into captivity?"

"As for imprisoning his daughter, my answer is 'yes.'"

Yao Yeji remained calm. "I don't care what those feudal remnants think, but we in the Kokolia sect never recognize the so-called inheritance of a father's legacy. What does your father's fight against the Honkai have to do with you, his daughter? Do we, because of the great achievements of our ancestors, indulge their descendants and watch them grow up to become the new generation of nobles who oppress the people by consuming their blood? Just because we respect heroes doesn't mean we'll give a free pass to others who simply inherit their DNA."

"The most direct example is Miss Bronya. The reason she was able to lead the team in the attack was entirely due to her own strength (A-rank) and personal charm (loli body type) that won us over. Otherwise, who would listen to her?"

"As for the former."

She glanced away uncomfortably: "Ms. Cocolia naturally has her own ideas. I won't interfere in this matter."

"Right, right, right. Using arrogant dogma to justify their unjust actions, and labeling them as feudal remnants when things don't go their way, criticizing them is nothing but selfish, revisionist double standards. They're worthy of being led by Kokolia, a remnant of the Soviet revisionists."

Mei, who was sitting opposite her, sneered, held her cheek, and casually looked out the window.

The adjutant pretended not to hear: "Besides, if you say that I used Lei Dian Long Ma's personal safety to trick you into coming here, then I can only say that you are simply stupid."

"Why, you can't argue with reason, so you resort to specious arguments?"

"No, I just want to say that after obtaining the information he wanted, Lady Cocolia sent Thunder Ryuma on a plane to America two days ago."

Yao Yeji folded her hands, resting her chin. "The flight was carried out by civilian airlines, so the security forces were minimal. By now, he should have returned safely to the conservative territory under the arrangements made by Dr. Einstein and the others."

Liesel Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists in human history, was a scientist at Laboratory 42 of the Imperial Research Institute under the Mandate of Heaven. She is now one of the founders of Anti-Entropy and an executor of Anti-Entropy.

He is also the leader of the anti-entropy conservatives, at least on the surface.

No matter what, if Cocolia really holds Raiden Ryoma's life in her hands, why would she, who is so sure of victory, threaten Mei only at the end of the conversation, instead of using filial piety to hit the vital point from the beginning?

She was just bluffing!

They used a bottle of blood that was left over from a previous blood test on Lei Dian Long Ma to deceive people!

Mei's heart skipped a beat when she realized this. She couldn't help but stand up and ask tentatively, "Are you so kind?"

"When humans lie, their brain waves emit different signals. Since you're a lightning-type, you should be able to tell if I'm lying about this."

"That's not necessarily true. At least I can't tell whether your female vixen (Cocolia) is talking nonsense or not."

"That's because you're uploading your minds to the platform when you're talking, but we're face to face now."

"..."

Super electromagnetic induction + Hokushin Ittoryu's clairvoyance, both of which were conveying to Mei the reality that 'the other party was not lying'.

After a moment of silence, the girl couldn't help but move closer again: "Why?"

"As I said before, it's based on Thunder Ryuma's contribution to the great cause of fighting the Honkai."

Yaoyeji spoke calmly, "In terms of policy, Lady Cocolia, the leader of the reformists, and the conservative Raiden Ryuma are at odds with each other, but that's simply a matter of policy. In the great cause of combating the Houkai, the loss of every outstanding talent is regrettable, and we wouldn't actually kill a colleague."

She added in a low voice, "It is precisely because of this style of action that we, the marginalized little people, have united under her command and become the sharp sword in her hand that cuts through all obstacles."

"That's it."

Mei, who came to her side while Yao Yeji was talking, seemed to understand, but suddenly a cold light flashed in her eyes.

That is the escape dagger hidden in the palm of her hand. Even though it cannot activate the teleportation ability due to the existence of the no-fly barrier, this does not prevent it from becoming a sharp blade that can penetrate the enemy like lightning!

Since her father was safe and sound, Mei naturally had no reason to stay here any longer.

The shrill sound of breaking through the air echoed in the room. Under the acceleration of the electromagnetic thunder, the dagger as long as the forearm was like a winding and circling rice-light dragon. It bit the woman's slender throat with one move, and it was obvious that it wanted to kill her!

However, before that, the nameless naginata that had been prepared had already soared into the sky.

The layers of telekinesis turned into an invisible wall to block the incoming attack, and the naginata, shining with cold light, picked up the dagger at lightning speed and landed lightly in front of Mei's throat.

The adjutant, who had successfully countered the attack, said calmly, "Beichen Itto-ryu is indeed a very good sword technique, but its requirement for weapon length is a major drawback."

Mei said nothing. On the first day of learning the family swordsmanship, Raiden Ryoma had told her: this style is suitable for using two-handed weapons held in one hand, the blade length should be more than 1.5m, the curvature of the blade is similar to that of a saber but thinner, and basically the more standard shapes are the Miao Dao or the Nodachi.
