Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

He was too embarrassed to mess up his sister's packed clothes just for the purpose of searching, so Kainuo looked around and walked over to Siegfried's computer desk which was cluttered with stuff to check.

"Wow, Kaino, how did you get in here?" Kiana turned around after hearing Kaino's reactionary voice and looked at him with a pout, "Get out!"

"Hey, look what I found?"

Kaino picked up the USB drive on the computer desk and raised his eyebrows at Kiana as if showing off.

"Hey, what is this?" Kiana took a few steps closer to Kayno. "It's just a USB drive!"

"This is Tianming, it's almost the fastest place in the world." Kainuo sighed, turned on the computer and inserted the USB drive into it. "Wouldn't it be faster for Dad to download something directly through the Internet?"

"Besides, Dad isn't a researcher, he's a warrior." Kaino explained to Kiana while operating the computer to check the contents of the USB drive. "So, this isn't Dad's research data. Instead, it's most likely the reason why Dad has been absent-minded all day."

- For example, proof that Siegfried was blackmailed.

"Is that so? Let me see, let me see!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately went to the computer desk and looked at the contents of the computer with Kainuo.

"What? It's just an animation of Alahato... But the quality is so bad? Will Dad really watch Alahato with such bad quality? It's his favorite!"

"Is it possible that this is a secret document? Is there something hidden in the animation? Like the sentence that appears at a certain minute and second has a special meaning?"

Kainuo frowned and watched the animation, very puzzled.

"But there's no need to make the image quality so bad... wouldn't it be bad if it attracted attention?"

"Oh, right, I remember now!" Kiana suddenly picked up the mouse. "I remember seeing it in a movie. I think it can be done this way?"

"How could secret documents be processed in a way that could be shown on film? That wouldn't be... eh eh eh?"

Kainuo looked at the file in disbelief as its format changed after Kiana's operation, and felt that his worldview had been refreshed.

What kind of secret documents are handled like this?

"It's actually a secret document. It seems that Dad is hiding a big secret from us!" Kiana widened her eyes and clicked it at the same time.

"Xilin... Plan?!" Kainuo read out the title of the document and looked at Kiana in disbelief.

"Silin... Kiana, I remember the Herrscher of the Void was born during the second Collapse. Is that the correct name?"

Kainuo swallowed his saliva. Just by seeing the title, he could imagine that the content inside would not be simple.

Although he had guessed in advance that it would not be a trivial matter that could make Siegfried lose his concentration for the whole day, he did not expect that it would be related to the Herrscher, and a dead Herrscher at that.

And if it was internal information of the Mandate of Heaven, why did it end up in the hands of Siegfried, a soldier? And if it wasn't, why did it end up in Siegfried's hands?

Moreover, this information made Siegfried dazed for a whole day.

"I have a bad feeling..." Kayno exhaled, quickly read the contents of the file, and after extracting several key words such as resurrection of the Herrscher, clone, Shaniat replica, and dissatisfaction, he stared at two sentences in it.

Kiana Kaslana's genes might be able to provide a sufficiently powerful transplant body for the Herrscher's resurrection experiment.

Experimental subject K423 successfully awakened consciousness

The atmosphere became depressing.

Kaynor wasn't bragging, but when it came to Shaniat, the first thing that came to mind for almost everyone in Skyrim was their mother, Cecilia Shaniat, the holder of the Black Abyss White Flower, the Key of God, the Saint of Shaniat, and Skyrim's strongest Valkyrie who died together with the Second Herrscher to save the world.

So there is probably no need to say who the so-called Shaniyat clone mentioned in the document is.

In other words, after his mother's sacrifice, her genes were likely used in research to resurrect the Second Herrscher.

To think more maliciously, if Cecilia had not been completely destroyed by the Honkai fission bomb, those people might have used her body for experiments.

However, after this Shaniyat clone failed to meet the requirements, the man of destiny began to set his sights on his sister.

Furthermore, the reason for using Kiana's genes was because of her exceptional Honkai resistance and adaptability. If the clone's quality still couldn't meet the experimenters' requirements...

Kainuo just felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe freely.

"Brother, brother?" Kiana also finished reading the document. She was obviously not calm either. She even rarely addressed Kayno as brother.

"...Kiana," After being stunned for a moment, Kayno exhaled and tried to relax himself, then looked at Kiana with hesitation.

Having one's own genes used for cloning experiments is an extremely complicated matter for the person involved.

And trying to resurrect and control the Second Herrscher... Considering what his father occasionally complained to the two of them, Kayno didn't think Tianming had the ability to do so.

"Let's talk to Dad, shall we?" Kiana turned around, staring intently at Kayno. "Resurrecting the Second Herrscher is something we have to stop, right?"

Looking at Kiana's unusually firm sky-blue eyes staring straight at him, Kaino sighed.

"Ah."

Chapter 4: Candid Communication

Naturally, Kayno would be happy to see the Second Herrscher being prevented from resurrecting in Destiny. Although Destiny didn't know what the Second Herrscher was trying to do, Kayno didn't trust Destiny in this regard.

Aunt Theresa had told him that the Second Herrscher, Sirin, had become a Herrscher in part because of a cruel experiment conducted by Destiny. With that in mind, there was no telling what inhumane things Destiny would do to get the Second Herrscher to fight for humanity.

In contrast, Anti-Entropy has the First Ruler who fights for humanity, so they should be better at persuading the Rulers.

At the very least, wouldn't all this persuasion make the Second Herrscher even more hostile towards humans?

Furthermore, the clone used in the experiment was a copy of his sister. If she truly chose to fight for humanity, then Kayno hoped she would live a good life. The files of the Sirin Project explained that successful experimental subjects were suspected of having a new consciousness, not the original Second Herrscher.

"Kiana, Kayno, I'm back!"

At this moment, Siegfried's voice coming from the door interrupted Kaino's thoughts.

"Dad was in a bad mood this time and couldn't play with you properly, so I bought you gifts to make up for it. Where are you? Come out and see!"

Kaino and Kiana looked at each other, then Kiana nodded and walked towards the bedroom door. Kaino sighed and followed Kiana.

"Kiana, Kaino? Come out quickly! You..."

Siegfried was still calling out to his two children when he saw the two children coming out of his bedroom.

"How did you get out of my bedroom? Wait..."

Noticing that Kiana and Kayno looked a little strange, Siegfried's face froze slightly, but the next moment a smile appeared on his face again, "Ahahahaha, Dad's bedroom is a bit messy. You must be exhausted from helping me clean the bedroom, right? Come, look at the gifts I brought you! New jerseys and a game cartridge for Kallen Fantasy II!"

"Dad..." Kiana looked at Siegfried with a serious expression when she found that her brother had no intention of speaking out. "We all know about the Sirin Project."

Hearing this, the smile on Siegfried's face finally disappeared completely.

What followed was the worry and helplessness that was originally hidden under the smile.

"How did you ..."

"Dad, you've been acting strange all day. Of course we noticed," Kiana said matter-of-factly. "And compared to all that, they used my genes for cloning experiments and even tried to resurrect the Herrscher of the Void, who perished with Mom..."

"This should have been stopped, right? As Kaslana, we should have left it alone, right? But you hesitated, Dad."

"Kiana, I..." Siegfried hesitated, and finally let out a slow breath, "Yes, this operation is extremely risky. I don't know what to do..."

"Why don't you know what to do, Dad?" Kiana interrupted Siegfried and said, "The organization called Anti-Entropy contacted you because they couldn't stop the Sirin Project on their own, right?"

Siegfried's USB drive not only contained the file of the Sirin Project, but also a plan explaining what Siegfried should do, signed by the Anti-Entropy Organization.

"Yes, and they also hope that I can step forward, for many reasons," Siegfried sighed, "But like I said, this operation is too risky. Even if I successfully get the experimental subject out, if the situation becomes critical and we don't have time to reconnect, I might not even be able to take you two with me."

"If something like that really happens, you will remain at the Sky Destiny headquarters as the descendants of sinners. Given Sky Destiny's madness and your talent, Kiana, they might even use you for some inhumane experiments."

"I can't ignore your safety." Siegfried looked at Kaino and Kiana.

"Is it just a matter of connection? That's easy, why don't we just act together?" Kiana thought for a while and put forward her own opinion.

"What? No!"

"no!"

Siegfried and Kaino both refused after hearing this. They looked at each other, and then Kaino said to Kiana, "Kiana, this is the only thing you absolutely cannot do."

Facing Kiana's gaze of "How dare you betray me," Kaino said without hesitation, "What you did is quite dangerous, and you're only 9 years old!"

"Hmph, then I'll be ten next year!" Kiana raised her head. "Among Kaslana, I'm considered exceptionally talented, right? Destiny is using my genes for experiments, and in the past, ten-year-old Kaslana would have already been fighting."

"That's ridiculous! Absolutely not!" Siegfried interrupted. "The past is the past, and the present is the present. What can a child like you do?"

"I can do a lot. Think about it. Anti-Entropy wrote that in the plan you gave me, right?" Kiana tried to convince Siegfried and Kaino. "The core testing area is highly guarded. It would be difficult for you to get in alone, right? That's why you said the risk is high."

"But it's different with me, right? Ventilation holes, skylights, and garbage disposal tunnels can all become invasion channels, right?"

Seeing that Siegfried was about to be persuaded, Kainuo quickly interrupted: "If you can do it, I can do it too. Besides, I'm your brother. If anything, I'll do it!"

Then, Kainuo looked at Siegfried and said, "Dad, listen to me. Let's contact Aunt Theresa first, and then..."

"What can you do?! Your health is so bad!" Kiana suddenly shouted, "If you really need to go to your period, it's you who should go. Anyway, I..."

"Anyway, if you're going, I'll go too. You probably won't even know the way around if you go in alone!"

"Kaino, you—good! Let's go together!"

"Alright, Kiana, Kaino," Siegfried interrupted, "This isn't a question of who goes and who doesn't. The most important thing is, if I choose to stop this plan, how can I be worthy of your future lives?"

"Whether you stay with Tianming, leave with me, or follow someone else, if I take any action to stop Tianming, you will be burdened with the burden of being the descendants of a sinner. Or you can just follow me and hide from me."

"So, what about your future? Your mother definitely wouldn't want you to live like this. While we are both Kaslana's warriors, I am also your father. I hope you can grow up safely and healthily and have a happy childhood."

"But, if we don't do it, will we be able to grow up healthy?" Kiana stared at Siegfried. "No matter what, we can't just turn a blind eye to this matter, right? Even if we don't do it, will we be worthy of the name Kaslana and be true to our own hearts?"

"Well, I..." Siegfried hesitated, then nodded. "Okay, let's stop this plan, but you have to work with your brother and listen to him, okay?"

"Also, you must obey me regarding the overall operation. If the critical moment comes, you must obey me no matter what."

Chapter 5 Smooth Action

Ten days later, on the outskirts of Klosten, at the scrap yard of the Destiny core experimental area.

A middle-aged man in chemical protective clothing was wandering around the scrap yard pushing a waste box.

After a while, the man looked around, then patted the scrap bin in front of him and whispered, "Kiana, Kayno, you can come out now!"

The man was Siegfried in disguise.

The next moment, the lid of the waste bin was pushed open, and two little white heads emerged from it.

"Huh, we're finally here. I was almost suffocating."

Kaino complained as he climbed out of the scrap bin.

The two of them squeezed together in a sealed waste box. Although it was not midsummer, the temperature was still not too low, not to mention how stuffy it was in the box.

"Hehe, Kayno, you can't stand it? It's too late to give up now!" Although Kiana also felt stuffy and hot, she was not willing to give up the opportunity to suppress Kayno.

"Alright, alright, Kiana, Kayno, hurry up!" Siegfried urged, "Maybe someone will pass by soon."

"Okay, Dad, you have to hurry up over there too!" Kayno nodded in response, took the saw from the scrap box, and led Kiana to the scrap opening.

"Got it. Remember to avoid cameras and patrol officers!"

Kaino was the first to climb over the waste opening, glanced around, and then turned back, "No footsteps, no cameras, it's safe here!"

"Okay, I'll come over too!" Kiana nodded and hurried over the waste opening.

"Let me think, east, west, south...that window over there, Kiana." After confirming the direction, Kaino pointed south. "The place we planned—of course, there are two more bends later."

"Okay, follow me closely, Kayno." Kiana nodded, walked in front with her back hunched, and Kayno followed behind.

After arriving at the designated location, Kaino handed the handsaw to Kiana, and Kiana began to saw the window.

This kind of hard work was not suitable for Keno, so he looked around to keep watch.

"Okay, then I'll just wait for Dad... Ah, Dad is coming!"

After a while, Kiana whispered.

Outside the window, a white-haired figure quickly approached this side and then climbed over the window.

"Well done, Kaino, Kiana!" Siegfried praised them softly, "Did you encounter any danger?"

"No, our operation went extremely smoothly and we didn't encounter any danger at all. I seriously suspect that the patrol officers of Tianming are on vacation today." Kainuo replied.

"Okay, then follow me closely and let's go to the laboratory quickly."

Siegfried nodded in reply, then took out a map from his arms, looked at it, and walked ahead.

"Should... this be it?" After turning a few corners, Siegfried looked at the door to the side and took out the magnetic card and the Holy Fire Judgement that Anti-Entropy had prepared for him in advance. "There's probably someone in there. I'll go in and check it out first."

Siegfried gently placed the magnetic card on the detection area and immediately rushed into the door, but soon his voice was heard.

"There's no one here... It seems like God is on our side. Come in, Kiana, Kaino."

Kaino and Kiana entered the laboratory together and then carefully closed the door.

Because there were no staff present, many large equipment in the laboratory were turned off, leaving only nearly a hundred culture chambers standing alone in the laboratory, and a white figure floating in each culture chamber.
