I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Bai silently felt the joy coming from Prometheus, and suddenly felt some great worries about the future.

Chapter 111: If I call you, would you dare to answer?

About half an hour later, Kiana walked in again in a daze.

Because Prometheus moved the back of the chair to the side and sat down, Kiana lay down directly on the bed after coming in.

Bai glanced at her silently.

"knew?"

"I know." Kiana replied weakly.

With her unique intuition, she quickly found the place where she had just arrived, saw the closed rooms, and asked some people in other rooms.

Either he would ignore her completely, or he would ask her for help directly, but she had no way to open up to him, so she could only make a verbal promise and come back temporarily.

"Then are you still going to save these people? They are the ones who caused the situation of those children."

"...I have no idea."

Kaslana's ancestral motto is to never give up on saving any human being, but Kiana feels there is no need to save these people.

It's not that she doesn't know what human experiments are. She has seen a lot of dark sides during her travels, but she just chooses not to think about them.

"Since you don't know, how about I give you a choice?"

"What choice?" Kiana tilted her head and looked at Bai.

A purple gourd appeared in Bai's hand, "Have you read Journey to the West?"

"I've heard of a story about a monk, a monkey, a pig, and a monster going to heaven."

"There's a scene where two monsters called Gold Horn and Silver Horn want to capture them. One of the monsters has a gourd treasure. If you call out the other monster's name, as long as the other monster agrees, the monster will be put into the gourd and turned into pus in a short time."

"Does this have that kind of effect?" Kiana perked up immediately, and the first thing that came to her mind was to deal with Honkai Beast, but then she remembered that Honkai Beast didn't seem to be able to speak.

“That’s not the case. There is indeed a space inside. As long as the other party responds to your call, they will be taken in.

But it won't turn people into pus, it's just a separate space. After all, I don't have the habit of torturing people. And I've strengthened it so that once someone responds, all the creatures in that space will be taken in."

"So is this for me to play with?" Kiana took the gourd with great interest, thinking it sounded like fun.

"Let me tell you a piece of news. It won't take more than two days for the people sent by Tianming Headquarters to arrive here. If nothing goes wrong, they will arrive tomorrow.

Moreover, the Valkyrie team that came was only A-level, and there was no S-level team. With their strength, they would only die against the Herrscher.

so..."

Bai pointed at the gourd and chuckled.

"How they turn out is up to you."

Kiana looked at the gourd in her hand, her eyes thoughtful.

......

After receiving the instructions, Kiana quickly understood her goal. Since she didn't want to save the people here, nor did she want to watch them die, she might as well do something else. As long as she was busy when something happened to them, she would at least have an excuse to convince herself.

Then, a little girl with white hair who looked about ten years old started strolling on the snowy field.

Inside the Tower of Babylon, a screen appeared in Bai's room, showing everything Kiana experienced outside.

Prometheus sat beside him, with some confusion in his eyes.

"She doesn't look very bright."

"Why do you say that?"

"You said the destined person wouldn't come until tomorrow, and she's out now."

"Maybe she was so happy that she forgot."

"But she also forgot about looking for the Herrscher."

In Fire Moth, once you hear the news that the Herrscher is coming, you must report it regardless of whether it is true or false, and the nearest person will verify it, find the Herrscher's specific location, test his abilities, and get close to him while ensuring safety. This is the quality that a warrior fighting against Honkai should have.

However, Prometheus could not see any of this in Kiana.

It was clearly known that the Herrscher had come out. Normally, it would be fine if he didn't inquire about the Herrscher's news, but he actually helped the Herrscher intercept the people who came to investigate. If someone like the Fire Moth didn't have a proper reason, he would be charged with crimes against humanity.

"She already knows the abilities of this Herrscher."

"But she doesn't know her identity."

"She'll find out soon enough... By the way, why do you seem to be talking so much today?"

Bai looked at Prometheus strangely. Was it because of the effects of his human body? Or was it because he hadn't spoken for so many years that he was stifled?

Prometheus responded calmly, "I'm learning."

"Learn to speak? Didn't you always have a speaking section?"

“No, I’m learning about human emotions.

Language is an art form. Written on paper, heard in the ears, and spoken with the mouth, it can express a variety of emotions. Before, I was an AI and didn't understand where these emotions came from. Now that I have a human body, I want to try to understand.

"But this kind of thing cannot be fully expressed in simple words.

Human emotions are very complex. Different places, different people, different tones, even the same sentence can express several different meanings. It is unrealistic to expect to understand them just by talking.

Prometheus was silent for a moment, "Are you bored?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Because I feel like you're trying to make me give up."

"No, I'm happy that you're actively learning about emotions. A machine that only knows how to analyze data can never be a friend. I just want to remind you not to get hung up on words. Sometimes actions can express your inner thoughts better than words."

"For example?"

“Hmm… Let me think about it.

For example, a couple who are in different places, without any interference and who like each other, have a birthday and the other wants to celebrate. At this time, there are two choices.

First, simply send your blessing using communication tools, and buy something online and have it delivered.

Second, don’t tell the other person first, but go to the other person privately and show up with a gift on the other person’s birthday.

Both are blessings, but they don’t express exactly the same meaning.”

"The second approach will waste more time and resources."

“But at the same time it will make the other person happier.

It also depends on the situation. For example, if both parties are very poor, a trip between them might cost a lot of money. In this case, even if one party brings a gift, the other party may not respond with surprise, but may even feel disgusted.

"Because common resources are being wasted?"

"Not really, because in the eyes of the other party, the one with the gift is obviously ignorant."

"I don't understand."

"That's right, you don't understand. If you understood now, I'd be surprised." Bai shook his head and smiled, "Just take your time."

Prometheus lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked, "When is your birthday?"

Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, "My birthday is..."

Chapter 113 Entering the Play

As night fell, Kiana, who had been outside in the snowy wind for a long time, ran back angrily.

"Why didn't you remind me that the man of destiny would not come until tomorrow."

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago?" Bai obviously didn't intend to take the blame.

"Didn't I forget about it? You've seen me out for so long, you could just send me a message."

You are so confident, just like you, Kiana.

"I forgot too." Bai was not willing to be outdone. Could he say that he forgot about Kiana while chatting with Prometheus?

"What are you doing? I remember you were fine, weren't you?"

Having been here for such a long time, Kiana thought she had never seen Bai busy with anything. Only occasionally someone came to report the situation. In her memory, Bai had never even left this room.

"What are you doing...wait for me to think about it."

"Think about it?" Kiana looked incredulous.

What do you mean? Make up an excuse first? You're not even willing to give her a half-hearted answer?

"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. I just forgot about it."

Well, this is really not perfunctory.

Seeing that Bai was no longer pretending, Kiana felt inexplicably angry and wanted to do something to vent, but after thinking about it, she found that she couldn't do anything in her current state.

But even if there was nothing she could do, Kiana was unwilling to let it go. The wool comes from the sheep, and since it was Bai who made her angry, she had to find a solution from Bai no matter what.

Thinking carefully, it seems that she has never seen Bai particularly angry, especially in the first few days after Xilin came, Bai's voice seemed much softer, making Kiana feel like a different person.

In Saint Freya, I heard Bronya's sister Seele say that Bai is easy to talk to. Judging from her shy appearance, she must be true.

So it is true that Bai can speak nicely, but he may target special groups of people.

Kiana thought about what Seele and Sirin had in common.

They are all relatively short, but it shouldn't be this point, after all, I am quite short now. It's that they don't talk much, or the tone of their speech is very...soft?

Probably!

The main thing is that Kiana can't think of anything else in common between the two.

Now that she had a direction, Kiana lowered her head silently to adjust her state, thinking about how to make the so-called "quiet voice" based on her personality.

Feeling the change in Kiana's emotions, Bai watched her with interest.

After a few seconds, Kiana's body suddenly trembled, followed by a whisper.

"Why..."

"Huh?" Bai's expression paused, feeling that this development seemed a little beyond his expectations.

"Why are you always targeting me... First, I was inexplicably dragged into that dimension and nearly died. When I was about to get out, you said you could let me see my mother. I believed you and followed you here. After I got here, I became an experimental subject.

I finally got out and thought I could see my mother, but you made me wait for so long, and you brought back Xilin.

Just bring her back, I'm willing to be friends with her, but...but why is there such a huge difference in her attitude towards us?!"

Kiana suddenly raised her head, and there was some glint in her eyes.

"Xilin and we just met for the first time, and you were so kind to her, cooking for her, teaching her, and even secretly going to see her at night because you were afraid she would be cold. But what about me?

I was stripped of clothes, forced to study, and a few days ago, they even hung me up for no apparent reason. Why?!

I've known you for so long, why am I still not as good as Xilin?!"

I don’t know if it was because of the emotion here, or if Kiana already had this idea, but Bai even heard some real emotion in the last few words.

While pretending, he actually got into the role?

Shiro raised an eyebrow, wondering how to handle the situation.

The idea of ​​continuing to watch the fun was completely gone now, because now he had become the one being watched.

If nothing unexpected happens, the last few louder sentences should have been heard by Xilin next door. Even now, without any means, Bai can guess that Xilin is listening to the conversation here by sticking to the wall, so he must be careful about what he says next.

In that case...got it.

Bai stood up and walked over to Kiana, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Kiana, do you know why I am so strict with you?"

"Because you wanted to play a trick on me." Kiana answered without hesitation.

Bai shook his head gently, "There's a saying in China called '望子成龙' (Wang Zi Cheng Long), which means that the elders in a family hope that their children can achieve great success. On the road to great success, hardships are inevitable.

Even if there was nothing originally, we have to create some. After all, it is difficult to grow without suffering.

The reason why I am strict with you is similar to this. In my opinion, you have great talents, but you don't use them much.

I want you to have better development, so I arrange so many things for you.
