I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Although it was very faint, Kiana could feel the happy feeling.

"Did Xilin have a good dream yesterday? You seem very happy today."

"Is it so obvious?" Xilin came back to her senses from her beautiful fantasy and smiled happily for the first time in front of Kiana's shocked eyes.

"It was a good dream, I dreamed of my old friends and that those who did evil were being punished as they deserved."

"Xi, Xilin, you actually laughed!" Kiana couldn't help but drop the bread in her hand onto the table, looking at Xilin in disbelief.

"I'm a normal person, what's wrong with smiling?" Xilin glanced at Kiana and took a big bite of the food on the plate.

"I noticed your expression didn't change much in the past few days, and I thought you had some kind of facial paralysis."

"You're the one with facial paralysis!"

"Hey, it's okay if it's not."

Kiana scratched her head and smiled, not caring about Xilin's rebuttal. As long as the words were not swear words, they didn't matter to her, not to mention that she was the one who brought it up first.

"Hurry up and eat yours." Xilin glared at her unhappily. "You still have class to attend. Don't fall asleep again today. If something like yesterday happens again, I won't help you."

"No, no, it will never happen again." Kiana patted her chest and promised, while secretly glancing at Bai.

I lay in bed last night and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what I had done to offend Bai. The only mistake I made was probably that I fell asleep while Bai was giving a lecture.

He silently complained in his heart that Bai was even stricter than the teachers in St. Freya, but he also made up his mind that he would never sleep in class again.

At least not in Bai's class.

Perhaps because of her successful revenge last night, Xilin was in an especially good mood today. The feeling of watching her enemy die tragically in front of her eyes made her unable to rest the whole night last night, and the physical fitness of a Herrscher allowed her to maintain a high spirit for a short period of time. If she hadn't been waiting for Bai's class today, she might have stayed in the room and laughed uncontrollably.

Hiding her inner excitement a little to avoid being noticed, Xilin no longer paid attention to Kiana, but ate breakfast by herself.

Kiana inexplicably felt that Xilin's condition was a little strange, but she didn't say much, just thinking that she was too happy.

......

Breakfast time passed in a short while. After helping to clean up, Xilin and the other person sat down and waited for Bai to start his lecture. However, Bai did not start immediately. Instead, he sat down on the chair in the office after a long time.

Although the two were confused, they did not ask any more questions and just watched the subsequent developments silently.

A moment later, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by rapid knocks.

"Enter."

"Sir, something bad has happened." After getting Bai's consent, the man quickly walked into the room and explained to Bai with an anxious look on his face.

"A researcher was discovered missing this morning. Investigation revealed that the disappearance occurred around 11:00 PM last night. The surveillance footage showed that the individual appeared to have encountered something terrifying.

First, as he was walking, his legs suddenly disappeared, then his arms. After his limbs disappeared, something seemed to appear in his eyes, and then he disappeared out of thin air.

The most bizarre thing is that we didn't find any trace of any living creatures in the surveillance video, not even the thermal imaging camera could detect it.

I also asked other people who had recent contact with that person, and the result was that he didn't have any enemies.

Now we have no way to detect it. In order to prevent this incident from affecting other people, I have deleted all the videos that captured this scene yesterday, and controlled the memories of other people who saw these videos, so that they forget about it.

The loss of one person doesn't have much of an impact, but I'm worried that this phenomenon won't be the only one.

They are all smart people. Even if they can hide it for a while, it will spread quickly if it appears again later.

My Lord, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Although the people here may not have any morals, it is undeniable that they do have some abilities. They were able to come up with a pretty good solution to this emergency in such a short time.

It’s a pity that no matter how capable you are, you have to pay a price for doing something.

"Has it been thoroughly checked using surveillance and thermal imaging?"

"Yes."

"Have you investigated what special projects he's been working on recently? Could this be an accident caused by a certain research project?"

"This kind of situation wouldn't have happened in public research, but what happened privately... needs further investigation."

"Check all the people he contacted to see if there was a conflict over a certain research project, or if there was a quarrel over something else. These could be the reasons for the harm."

“Understood, sir.

But what if these investigations still yield no results?

"If there's still no result, then we'll see if this situation recurs. If it doesn't, then one less person won't be a big deal. If it recurs and still can't be resolved, I'll notify headquarters and have them send professionals to handle it."

"Those people at headquarters...you mean..."

"Yes, to the Honkai Squad."

"Yes, sir, I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave."

"Well, let's go."

Bai waved his hand, and the person quickly left the room.

Due to the barrier created by the white cloth, the visitor did not notice that there was a residence behind the office, but Xilin and Kiana in the residence could clearly see the scene outside.

But because the distance was too far, Kiana only saw the visitor talking to Bai and did not hear the specific content. However, Xilin understood the conversation between the two with her super physical fitness and small-scale use of spatial ability.

My originally happy mood quietly sank.

There are definitely more researchers who have done evil here than the one who did it last night. She thought that since one person was missing, those people might not be able to find out and they could continue tonight. However, she didn't expect those people to be so cautious. This made things a bit difficult.

If Bai continues to act without knowing the specific situation, he will definitely report to some headquarters. From the tone of their voice, it seems that they are specialized in solving incidents that can make people disappear out of thin air. It will definitely be difficult to deal with.

But if she didn't continue, she would have to let the researchers here continue to live, and she was unwilling to accept that.

Xilin was in a dilemma because she wanted revenge but didn't want her current life to be ruined.

If... I could stop those so-called people who specialize in dealing with this kind of thing from coming here, it wouldn't disturb my current life...

Xilin's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had made some decision.

Chapter 108: Promise

Everything happened just as Xilin had expected. After she continued her action that night, the man came to Bai again the next day to explain the matter. Bai also wrote a message in front of her and Kiana and sent it to the Destiny headquarters.

A message was quickly sent from the Tianming headquarters, expressing that they attached great importance to this situation and had dispatched an elite team to fight against Honkai, which was expected to arrive in two days. During this period, in order to prevent more abnormal phenomena, all research projects would be suspended, and the specific arrangements would be left to Bai Lai.

Bai's arrangement was very simple. He just told them not to run around and stay in their rooms. They had to report their number on time every day. Those who didn't report would be treated as missing. Everything would be decided after the people from headquarters arrived.

The researchers had no other options. Although they were smart, they were not good at being detectives, and they could not infer too much based on the disappearance of two people. They did not want to cause any more accidents and could only obey.

Xilin was very pleased with this. Originally, when she was looking for someone, she had to worry about being noticed by other irrelevant people. Now that these people locked themselves in the room and didn't come out, it was extremely convenient for her.

A turtle in a jar? Meat on a sticky board? Never mind. From now on, all she had to do was pay attention to the elite teams sent by the so-called Destiny Headquarters.

However, considering that those teams may not arrive at a certain time, she probably won't have much time to go to class these days, so she needs to think of a good reason.

During the lunch break after lunch, Xilin, who was supposed to stay in the room to rest, quietly came to Bai's room.

"What's up, Celine?"

"Well, I feel a little tired in such a short time. Can I take a two-day break?"

Xilin pursed her lips. Even though she now had abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, she felt that she couldn't be tough in front of Bai. Perhaps it was because she was afraid that Bai would discover her peculiarity and stay away from her?

"Sure, I've taught you almost everything I can. Take a break if you want. If you have any questions in the next two days, you can ask me."

Knowing what Xilin was planning, Bai was willing to take a two-day break. He didn't mind revenge at all, but now he wanted to keep an eye on Xilin and prevent her from killing innocent people.

Although the Honkai consciousness has been silent since it was given to the Herrscher of the Sky Core of Sirin, power can wear down a person's will.

Compared to the Herrscher of the Void who sees humans as parasites and has no rationality, Sirin, who now worries and fears, and can cry and laugh, is better.

"Is it okay? Thank you!" Xilin thanked him in surprise. Seeing how serious Bai had been recently, she thought that this matter would not be so easy to succeed.

"Nothing. You'll gain more from voluntary learning. If you don't have the heart to it, there's no point in forcing it to stay."

Hearing this, the joy on Xilin's face subsided slightly, and she tentatively asked Baifa: "Um, do you think I have something else to do?"

Bai immediately chuckled, "You've been distracted all morning. Obviously something's wrong."

As a teacher, I can see clearly what dozens of students are doing under the podium, let alone Bai who only has two students.

Xilin felt a little embarrassed that her little action was seen clearly.

"Um...I'm sorry..."

"You don't need to apologize. You already said that there were other things going on. I'm not going to be angry about this."

"Well..."

"Okay, don't be embarrassed. Is there anything else? If not, go and get some rest. You're still growing at your age, so you need to get enough sleep."

Still being treated like a child...

Xilin sighed inwardly, "Okay, then I will... No, actually I have another question."

Xilin suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Bai's eyes.

'He is different from those researchers. He brought me out and gave me the life I have now. I also found out that he brought me out the day after he was transferred here. I have no relationship with anyone here before. He is one of us.

Since we're one of us, it's okay to ask this question, right?

"Suppose...suppose I kill someone for something, will you...leave me?"

Her bright eyes shone with dazzling brilliance. Xilin asked this question with all the courage she had gained from being together for so long. She wanted to know whether Bai, whom she thought was her own, was actually one of her own.

Bai did not answer immediately, but looked at Xilin silently. As time passed quietly, Xilin became more and more nervous. The subtle breathing sound seemed to be amplified countless times, passing through her ears and directly into her mind. The moment she saw Bai open his mouth, her body tensed.

"As long as the fault is not yours and you don't kill innocent people, I will always stand by you."

Invisible sweat seemed to appear on her body, and her skin was connected to her clothes, but Xilin knew that was impossible. Not to mention sweating, it would be difficult for her to even feel tired. It was all just an illusion.

This illusion disappeared the moment the vernacular voice fell, and the pressure in her heart completely dissipated. Xilin felt that the world seemed to have become much clearer.

She killed people who were guilty of something, and there was absolutely no innocent person. Even if Bai didn't know this, saying this might be equivalent to standing on her side.

As for the teams that came to investigate, they would not be back for another two days. She just needed to take revenge within these two days and then take Bai and Kiana away from here. Then they could choose a small village or a city and live happily together.

She doesn't have any hobbies like killing people.

"I understand, thank you. There are no other questions. I'll leave first." After saying thank you, Xilin left Bai's room without waiting for Bai to say anything. However, when she ran out, an unknown song seemed to echo in the room.

"Is she the Herrscher of the Sky of this era?"

"Can you tell without the mechanical body?"

"The use of Honkai energy is engraved in the mind."

"Really? It seems you are already familiar with the way humans speak.

So, any ideas?"

"Why do you want to teach her so much?"

"Because in the original history, she was so shameful. She had six Herrscher cores, but was defeated by a few people who were not Fusion Warriors and Hua who was half a Fusion Warrior."

"...I think you haven't taught enough."

"That's enough. Any more and people will say I'm cheating."

"Now that's considered cheating."

"I'm happy."

"...Okay, let's continue what we were doing."

"Wait a moment, there's another guest."

Pausing the conversation with Prometheus, Bai sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up a cup of cold tea in his hand, and slowly brought it to his mouth.

After a moment, the door was pushed open.

Chapter 109 Sisters or Mother and Daughter

The crack in the door expanded little by little, and a white hair first poked out, and then a white ball appeared at the connection of the hair.

His deep blue eyes quickly scanned the room.

Desk, bed, people...

Their eyes met, Kiana chuckled and walked in obediently.

Since the classes started, considering that Kiana wouldn't go out often, Bai prepared a set of clothes for her, a shirt on the upper body and shorts on the lower body. She didn't like wearing skirts very much because it was troublesome to run, at least not with her current body shape and location.
