I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"You really didn't lie to me?"

Kiana had been listening to stories about Cecilia since she was a child. Whether it was from Siegfried or people like Saint Freya, Cecilia was a hero. However, her knowledge of Cecilia so far only existed in history books and portraits.

Although she was very reluctant, she had already accepted the fact that Cecilia was dead, so even though she missed her later, she never took the initiative to ask about Cecilia.

Now that she heard this name again from Bai's mouth, her thoughts, which had long been silent, became a little restless again.

Bai shook his head gently. "I'm not interested in lying to you. Besides, don't you want to know what happened to Cecilia? How did you end up in this dimension? Why did you almost die? The answers are all in this story."

As if luring a lost girl, Bai kept throwing out conditions that made Kiana's heart flutter.

"this..."

Kiana hesitated for a moment.

Why does it feel like compared to the information Bai gave, her simple wish to go back for a hug and some food seems a little unpresentable?

Otherwise, would you like to go with us?

Anyway, no matter what happens inside, it won't change outside, so why not go and read the story Bai told me? As for whether there will be any danger here...

Kiana glanced at Shiro stealthily.

There shouldn't be any problem, right?

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Bai nodded in satisfaction, "If that's the case, then we can't regret it."

"Eh?" Kiana suddenly had a bad feeling, but before she could say anything, Bai stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and her vision suddenly darkened.

At the same time, the purple-haired girl in a corner of this space also disappeared.

......

The Tower of Babel, also known as the Tower of Babel, is a tall tower built by humans in order to reach heaven in mythology. It is a rare and conspicuous building in the snowy plains of Siberia.

If we can ignore the series of cruel things that happened in this tower, which seemed inhumane to outsiders, this place can hardly be considered a good place.

In the bright office, Bai was wearing a white coat and sitting on a chair with his legs folded on the table. He was holding a newspaper in one hand and a teacup in the other, enjoying life leisurely.

After taking a sip of tea with a disgusted expression, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

A man also wearing a white coat walked in with an extremely respectful look.

"Sir, special news. We've recently discovered that No. 53 has suddenly developed a resistance to Honkai energy far exceeding that of others. If we conduct experiments on her, the success rate should increase by about 30%."

"When did you find out?"

Placing the teacup and newspaper on the table, Bai looked at the man with interest.

"About an hour ago."

"Then why are you telling me now?" Bai's voice suddenly became gloomy.

The visitor bent down in fear. "I'm very sorry, sir. We just want to confirm that it's not a testing error. Otherwise, if we tell you in advance and it turns out to be a mistake, it will delay your time."

"...well done, but it was too slow. Be more careful next time."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

"Well, get back to work, and find someone to bring No. 53 over."

"My lord, what do you want?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

"Yes... yes, sir, I will take my leave."

Not getting a response, the visitor bowed and retreated, looking like someone who still lived a thousand years ago.

As he reached out to close the door, the respect on the man's face completely disappeared, replaced by ferocity and anger.

"What a jerk! You're just pretending to be someone sent by headquarters. Just wait and see! Once I come up with results, you might not be the one who has the final say here."

He kept cursing Bai, the leader who was parachuted in from the headquarters, but he still obediently did what Bai asked him to do.

Chapter 97: A hungry cat will ask for food

The Tower of Babel, a name that symbolizes good wishes, but it is a pity that the people living here did not feel the so-called beauty.

There was an old-fashioned light bulb hanging from the ceiling, and a toilet that could only accommodate one person was placed in the corner. There was no light from outside except for a glass on the door that allowed people inside and outside to observe each other.

There are hundreds of prison-like rooms in this Tower of Babel, and the people imprisoned inside are not prisoners, but children who look no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Hey, everyone outside, let me out! Who the hell are you guys? If you have the guts, challenge me in a duel!"

Someone shouted loudly from next door, causing the purple-haired girl lying on the bed in the room wearing clothes that looked like a hospital gown to frown.

He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again before he could open it.

She can't control it, and doesn't want to control it.

I tried to avoid hearing the noise that sounded like shouting in my ears by falling asleep, but the more I listened, the harder it was to fall asleep.

Taking a deep breath, the purple-haired girl curled up on her side and covered her head with the pillow.

It didn't have much of an effect, but it did make the sound a bit quieter.

Just as the girl was secretly delighted with her clever idea, she suddenly heard a different voice.

"Hey, wait, what are you doing? Let me go! Let..."

The noise from next door gradually faded away, and the girl relaxed a little with her hands that were covering herself tightly.

After a while, the girl got out of bed quietly, walked barefoot to the wall connecting to the next room, and then stood there quietly.

......

There was another knock on the door of Bai's private office.

"Enter."

Two people walked in carrying a miniature version of Kiana.

"Sir, we have brought the person here, but she was a little restless when she arrived, so we let her sleep for a while. She will wake up in about five minutes."

Bai looked up.

"Put it on the chair and get out."

"Yes, sir." Without any hesitation, the two men put the sleeping Kiana on the chair, and arranged a sitting position for her. Then they bowed respectfully and left quickly.

Looking at Kiana who was sitting there with her head tilted and drooling, Bai took a few photos of her with interest, and then waited for Kiana to wake up while drinking tea made from the tea leaves he brought with him.

Time ticked by, and when the saliva was about to fall to the ground, Kiana finally opened her eyes in a daze, and then stood up suddenly as if stimulated by something.

"You are..."

She wanted to shout out her problem loudly, but suddenly found that something was wrong with the surrounding scene. So after leaving the external brain for a few days, Kiana finally started to use her little head again.

It was a pity that before he could apply some lubricant to the rusty part, his silly big blue eyes noticed Bai sitting there safely, and then his head, which was about to turn, closed again helplessly.

"Where is this place? Why did I become like this? Who are those people? And most importantly, I'm hungry!"

After discovering Bai, Kiana seemed to have lost all her pressure in an instant. She sat on the chair opposite Bai and threw a series of questions at Bai in a menacing manner.

Although facing a person who is not very familiar with him... no, even if it is a familiar person, he would not be very happy to face such an extremely bad attitude inquiry, but for Bai, the appearance of the little Kiana in front of him with puffed mouth and slapped her hands on the table did not make him angry, but gave him a sense of fun.

It's like the cat at home running over and meowing at you because you haven't fed her all day.

He reached out to open the drawer in front of the table, pretended to take out some snacks from it - actually, from his own space and handed them to Kiana. Then, Bai supported his chin with both hands and explained to her.

"This is a research institute called the Tower of Babel, established by Tianming in Siberia. We are currently in the year 2000. You can treat everyone here except you and me as NPCs.

Of course, if you really plan to do something here, it's best not to have this idea.

As for you becoming like this, it's because this is a story. Is there anything more immersive than entering a story? "

"Then why don't you give me the identity of a researcher here? I have seen female researchers here."

Kiana's face was full of suspicion as she chewed the snacks that Bai had brought out.

"How long do you think it will take for your flaws to be discovered if you're a researcher like this? I bet it won't take more than an hour. Do you want to try?"

Bai didn't look down on Kiana, but he completely believed that Kiana had absolutely no knowledge of the precautions in the laboratory. Perhaps an hour was already a long time for her.

Unless she stood there and did nothing, Bai had reason to believe that no matter what she did, she would make mistakes. But if she did nothing, it would only expose her faster.

Although this is not real history, those researchers are obviously not fools, or fools would not come here.

"Forget it."

Kiana, who has some understanding of her own abilities, naturally has not considered the idea of ​​becoming a researcher, but this does not mean that she does not want to change her current situation.

"Is there no other way? I don't want to stay in that dark-looking room all the time.

And those researchers gave me a rather unserious vibe, like they were going to take me for an autopsy any second.”

It must be said that although Kiana is a bit of an idiot when around other people, the intuition of idiots is in a sense very good.

Bai believed that if he hadn't been here, Kiana's situation might not have been any better than being dissected.

Of course, if he wasn't here, Kiana wouldn't be here either.

"Of course there is a way, but you may not be able to accept it."

"Just don't let me stay in there. You can't sell me out privately, right?"

"That's not the case. If I wanted to sell you out, there's no need to do it in private."

"What do you mean!"

"Nothing, I was just praising you for being smart and not being easily fooled."

"Why do I feel that this is not what you meant?"

"It's just an illusion."

"Well, now that I'm not staying there anymore, where should I live?"

Although she still had some doubts, Kiana didn't want to pursue the matter too much as she had Bai to ask for her help.

Bai did not answer, but opened the drawer and pressed a button inside. Then, in front of Kiana's shocked eyes, the wall behind him slowly opened, revealing a top-notch luxurious room.

Chapter 98: Small has its advantages

Kiana quickly put the snacks on the table into her mouth, and without thinking too much, she ran inside, took a quick look, and ran straight into the bathroom.

"Ah, finally I can take a shower. It was so uncomfortable staying in there."

Kiana shouted with joy and started adjusting the water temperature.

Feeling the clear, cool water flowing across her fingers, Kiana relaxed and began to murmur unconsciously.

"Isn't this Tianming's research institute? Why are there so many children my size here? Are they the family members of the researchers here? That's not right. How can they let children dress like family members like that?"

"You mentioned the research institute, but haven't you ever thought about what kind of research is being done here?"

Bai, who was sitting outside, reached out to pick up the bag of snacks left by Kiana, and casually replied to her.

Although Kiana was surprised that her quiet mumbling could be heard, she did not get too bothered and instead started chatting with Bai.

"The Tianming Research Institute...should be researching something related to Honkai, right?"

"Yes, this place is mainly responsible for studying the human body's adaptability to Honkai energy."

"Human body? I remember that normal people generally don't have much adaptability to Honkai, otherwise so many people wouldn't have been killed when Honkai broke out."

Kiana knew that she was not good at studying, but she was very clear about this basic common sense.

"Yes, that's why I want to study how strong the adaptability of ordinary people to Honkai energy is. As long as we know that threshold, won't we be able to better control researchers for other Honkai-related projects?"

"This is indeed a legitimate research project, but I don't think there's anything right."

It sounds like if this research is successful, future experiments will probably have fewer accidents. However, once the word "human body" is involved, Kiana always feels inexplicably irritated.

After a brief thought without figuring it out, Kiana stopped thinking about it. Feeling that the water temperature was about right, she took off her white shirt that looked like a hospital gown and jumped into the bathtub.

The warm water flowed over her body and covered her chin. Her hair, which had been tied into a pigtail, had already been untied and scattered in the water. The temperature in the bathroom continued to rise, making Kiana's fair little face blush.

The steaming hot air entered her mind along with her breath. Kiana, who was soaking there with her eyes closed, seemed to be stirred by something and recalled the scene when she woke up.
