On the occasion of collapse

"What are you looking at me for? You want to give a gift and solve it yourself." Noticing Bai Zhi's gaze, Fuling raised her eyebrows and cut off Bai Zhi's retreat before she even opened her mouth.

"...Okay..." The poor Bai Zhi turned back, looked at Kiana in her arms, and said pitifully.

"Qiana, I'm poor, and my cruel sister won't help me~ I can only wait until you grow up before I can help you~" After sniffing, Bai Zhi acted decently, but Poria was still Bai Zhi's poor acting skills were seen through at a glance, and Cecilia was not deceived at all. Only the idiot Siegfried believed it in the audience.

"Uh, teacher, we don't seem to have such a habit of meeting gifts here..." Looking at Bai Zhi's appearance, Siegfried explained to Bai Zhi very seriously, completely forgetting that Bai Zhi was already living here. It’s been a long, long time.

"Do I need you to teach me about this kind of thing?" Bai Zhi squinted her eyes and looked at Siegfried with an unkind expression, feeling that the punch she just received was too light.

"Uh, no need..." Finally realizing that Bai Zhi was faking it, Siegfried looked in the direction of Cecilia and Poria and found that both of them were secretly laughing.

Why are you laughing, you ask?

Of course it's our 'innocent' Lord Siegfried.

Chapter 473 Such a world is not worth remembering at all

Meanwhile, in Siberia, Babylon Labs.

In the laboratory, Xilin is lying on the experimental table. After a year of experiments, Xilin has become completely accustomed to being injected with various medicines. Now she does not need to be restrained by those straps at all. Experiments have almost become a part of her life. .

"50.00% dose of Honkai energy potion, inject." Following the order, the purple liquid was injected into Xilin's body along the needle, but Xilin did not scream because she learned about another person a few minutes ago. information.

Her friend, Aurora, was carried out in front of her.

Right in front of her, her face had no blood left and was as white as a piece of paper.

Even her left arm turned into a terrifying appearance. The usually lively and cute Aurora disappeared, leaving only a monster, a slain monster.

She was scared, but she couldn't escape. Just as Bella said, their fate had been decided from the moment they arrived here. Aurora's fate would be the fate of each of them.

[Can’t withstand the erosion of Honkai energy and become a monster]

This was the answer she got after asking the researcher. They had no intention of hiding it, because it was unnecessary and they couldn't escape from here.

They will only die here.

This is the inevitable outcome. After so many years and thousands of children every year, not one of them can make it out alive.

They were no exception. For a moment, she wanted to beg the sister named Yu Ling to take her and take them away.

But when she thought about Bella's words, she knew she couldn't.

If, if Yu Ling is really one of the people who experimented on them, then what she said is meaningless. Even if not, such a request will only cause Yu Ling trouble.

She didn't want to cause any more trouble to others.

If dying like this is her end, then just die.

[Such a world is not worth cherishing at all]

...

With her consciousness drifting in the dark world, Xilin stretched out her hands, trying hard to grab something, but she failed every time. Suddenly, she saw a beam of light. She desperately stretched out her hands and grabbed towards the light, and then .....

She woke up.

"Are you awake? You don't need me to say anything more, right?" The researcher was still sitting in front of the data checking, still putting the nutrient solution aside. Xilin didn't speak, she just sat up silently and jumped off the experimental table. He grabbed the nutrient solution and left here without looking back.

When Xilin left, the researcher stopped what he was doing.

"It's a good little girl, but it's a pity that she was sent here, alas." Perhaps out of regret or pity, the researcher sighed, perhaps expressing pity for Xilin's experience, but then, he turned his attention again Focus on data.

He would pity Siren, but would not help her.

......

Walking in the cold corridor, Xilin was barefoot and without shoes. Feeling the cold floor, Xilin lowered her head and walked forward step by step.

Until she saw a pair of familiar shoes.

Without raising her head, Xilin walked up to the pair of shoes and hugged its owner's waist.

Perhaps knowing what happened, the woman did not speak, but silently hugged Xilin's thin body.

"Are you sad?" The woman asked slowly while stroking Xilin's long hair.

"Hmm..." She replied in a low voice, and Siren sniffed.

"Then, do you want to avenge her?" After hesitating for a few seconds, the woman asked this question.

"...No." I don't know if Sirin misunderstood something. She may have thought that the woman was going to take the risk.

She doesn't want to lose anyone anymore....

"That's it..." Without questioning, the woman just hugged Xilin gently, so that she could feel a little warmth.

"Sister Yuling, why, why do we have to experience such an injustice? I obviously, obviously just want to have a complete family and an ordinary life like ordinary children. Why do we have to encounter such injustice?" Maybe? It is a question about life, or a roar against fate. Xilin asked unwillingly. She hoped to get the answer from Yu Ling.

"...Fate is always unfair. In this world, there are really darlings who are favored by fate." The woman said slowly. This was the only answer she could give to Sirin.

"But Siren, you have to know that any preference comes with a price. Maybe it's something you can't afford..."

"I know, Siren, I know..."

A few minutes later, the woman looked at the sleeping Xilin in her arms and stood still without moving.

"Did I hesitate just now?" The woman asked to herself, looking at Xilin in her arms.

"I actually hesitated? Isn't this the purpose of getting closer to her? Why should I hesitate any more?" The woman's eyes began to change when she looked at Xilin. There was fear, confusion, and surprise, but in the end, it turned into helplessness. .

"Is it so difficult for me to get rid of her? If that's the case, then why didn't we completely separate us in the first place, but left a little bit?" The woman raised her head in confusion, looking at the ceiling of the corridor, muttering to herself.

"What on earth was I thinking at that time, and what did I think?"

———————————————————————————— (La la la la~ What a pity, where did you get the knife recently~ You think so~)

One year later, in 1999.

"Kiana, come here quickly~" Standing not far away, Bai Zhi squatted on the ground, clapped her hands to Kiana, who was supported by Cecilia opposite her, and encouraged her to take the first step.

Kiana is one year old this year and has reached the age of learning to walk. Due to Siegfried's carelessness, Cecilia finally decided to let Bai Zhi, whom Kiana liked more, take on this task.

She really didn't drag Bai Zhi over because Kiana disliked her father, really.

"Senior Fu Ling, I feel like I'm so redundant..." Seeing the three people enjoying themselves, Siegfried sat on a bench in the park and said dejectedly.

Standing aside, Poria looked at Siegfried's expression, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder.

"Siegfried, be confident."

After hearing this, Siegfried raised his head and looked at Fuling expectantly.

"If you remove the feeling, it will be superfluous." But the second half of Fu Ling's words directly made Siegfried's heart freeze.

"Senior Fu Ling, you are not so comforting." Siegfried was dissatisfied. Even Otto was dissatisfied. Siegfried only accepted three people. One was his own teacher, Bai Zhi, who convinced him.One is his wife, Cecilia, and the last one is Poria, whose existence is known to very few people in Destiny.

Yes, there are very few people. Although Fuling seems to be hanging out in front of people every day, few people know clearly about Fuling's identity. Even if they have seen Fuling, they will only think that Fuling is just an ordinary member.

A few people can see the clues, but they are not stupid enough to pursue it.

"Really? But I feel like you should be in a better mood." Looking at Siegfried with a wry smile, Fuling was still joking. She knew that Siegfried's psychological quality was quite strong.

It's not like anyone can be so mentally healthy after being beaten by Bai Zhi for so many years.

Siegfried can be said to be a unique example.

"Wow! Kiana, you are awesome!" Bai Zhi's exclamation came from the distance. Siegfried and Fuling looked up and realized that Kiana left Cecilia's support and successfully walked away. He got up and walked steadily to Bai Zhi's arms.

Looking at this scene, Poria folded her hands around her chest and smiled softly.

It's so good, I really hope that this scene can always be this beautiful...

But, it is obviously impossible...

Chapter 474 If you have power, can you do everything?

2000, January.

Siberia, Babylon Laboratory.

Xilin, who returned to the dormitory area, pursed her lips and looked a little confused.

It was strange today. Usually after the experiment, she would meet the woman who called herself Yu Ling on the way back, but she didn't see her today.

This is the first time this has happened.

Thinking of Bella's words, Xilin was a little worried whether Yu Ling was punished for being too close to her.

With random thoughts, Xilin unscrewed the nutrient solution in her hand, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

If she didn't drink, she would be forced to drink it if she was found. She might as well drink it herself.

The taste of the nutrient solution is not very good, but the pain relief effect is very good.

Xilin didn't know that there was nothing else mixed in it, and even if she knew, there was nothing she could do.

Throwing the empty bag in her hand into the recycling bin aside, Siren sat on the ground, waiting for Bella to come back.

After a long time, it was clear that the experiment had ended, but Siren still hadn't seen Bella come back, which made her start to worry.

"Bella..." Staring motionlessly at the corridor ahead, Sirin's heart was in her throat.

Finally, under Siren's expectant gaze, Bella's thin figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Celine..." The swaying Bella breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Siren sitting on the ground hugging her knees.

I don't know if it was because the heart she had been holding suddenly relaxed, but Bella's body fell to the ground as if she had lost strength.

"Bella!" Sirin finally realized that something was wrong, stood up, ran towards Bella quickly, and picked up Bella's body that fell to the ground.

"Bella, Bella, how are you?" Looking at Bella who was breathing weakly in her arms, Sirin shook her body in a panic, hoping to cheer up Bella.

"Celine..." Feeling the life disappearing from her body bit by bit, Bella suppressed the fear of death and wanted to encourage Siren one last time.

Avora, Agata, Galina, they could not endure the torture of the experiment and walked ahead of them, and now, it was finally her turn.

"Celine, don't cry, okay? I'm fine, I just want to sleep for a while." Bella raised her hand and gently touched Sirin's head, hoping to make Sirin feel better.

but.....

"You lied! Agata said the same thing! But she never woke up again!" Listening to Bella's words, Sirin couldn't calm down at all. She had already said goodbye to her three friends and she would no longer believe those things. It was a white lie. She had completely seen the cruel truth of this laboratory.

As experimental subjects, their every word and deed is monitored, and everything they eat is added with chemicals that catalyze honkai energy.

In the eyes of the researchers at this base, they are not human beings, just props that can be discarded at any time.

If one dies, then replace it with another. This is such a cruel truth, but it is so real.

"Celine..." Looking at Sirin with tears falling down her face, Bella raised her hand with difficulty and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Sirin's eyes.

"Don't cry, I can only accompany you till now. You have to live well. Take me and our share to live well, okay?" Touching Sirin's cheek, Bella She said slowly, she is the eldest among the few, and has always acted as the eldest sister among the few.

She thinks about her 'sisters'. Even if she knows that nothing she does can change her and their endings, at least she must allow them to have a memorable time before their destined ending. .

She has long seen through the nature of this laboratory. They are victims, victims who will not be remembered or known.

Their value is to die in the experiment and create stigmata that can be used by the Valkyries.

She didn't dare to tell them the truth directly, so she could only hint a little bit at a time so that they could discover it on their own.

However, she did not expect that this day would come so quickly. A year ago, Aurora died in the experiment.

This is like a beginning. Once you start, there is no way to stop.

Later, it was Agata. She walked out of the laboratory fine, but when she returned to the dormitory, something unexpected happened.

They watched her fall to the ground in pain, with purple lines emerging on her skin, as if they were trying to split Agata apart.

Before they could even say a few words to Agata, security personnel rushed in and took Agata away.

The last words Agata said to Siren that day were.

'Don't be afraid, I'm just going to sleep for a while. '

When Agata was sent back, there was a hole in her forehead, and some blood flowed from it from time to time.

It was a gunshot wound.

Bella knew that Agata was dead, cleaned up before turning into a monster.

Siren also knew it, but Bella still kept comforting Siren.

Later, it was Galina. When she came back, they didn't notice anything unusual. She ate as usual, said good night to them, and finally went back to her room to sleep.
