February 2014, 1......

a–e Experimental Center, Biological Experiment Maintenance Area......

On a filing table, a girl in a maid outfit was leaning over the table, placing her hands on the photon keyboard in front of her, typing away, inputting something on the light screen in front of her.

"Since the project was frozen a week ago, her physical condition has been getting worse. Those scars are looking more and more terrible. If it weren't for those bandages, I'm afraid I would feel scared just looking at her..."

"She was transferred to a more advanced treatment facility and has been in the incubator for six days. Although I can't understand the test data, from the sighs of the researchers, her genes seem to have collapsed to a very serious degree. If it weren't for Lord Otto's explicit request to save her life, I'm afraid they would have given up treatment long ago..."

"Come to think of it, Lady Yulandel came here a few times some time ago. Well... that lady looks younger than I thought. But it seems that she can't do anything. According to her, the repair of the Black Abyss White Flower depends on the blueprint compiled by the genetic language, but her own "blueprint" was also damaged, so it can't be repaired..."

"Alas, the girl who could still chat with us a month ago has now become half-dead. How pitiful... Perhaps, for her now, death is a relief..."

"Well, it's almost time. I have to go and accompany the researcher to observe her condition. I heard that Otto-sama will come to inspect her soon. Let's stop here for today..."

The maid exhaled softly, saved the notepad program on the terminal and closed it, then slowly stood up, straightened her dress, walked to the metal passage outside the door, and walked towards the familiar nursing room...

·————————————·

"The respiratory system is normal, the body temperature is 61.6°F, and the heart rate is 41 beats/min... It's a bit troublesome, a little lower than yesterday."

"Well, she is indeed gradually weakening and is slowly approaching death. However, this process is really... I think she herself may be longing for death. Do you want us to help her? It can also be regarded as an end to this boring job..."

"That being said, Lord Otto has given orders that we cannot let her die like this."

"Haha... just kidding..."

Two researchers stood in front of a huge transparent container, looking at the information displayed on the light screen below the container, chatting and laughing casually. A girl in a maid outfit stood behind them, listening to their discussion, slightly raised her head, staring at the figure floating in the container, with a trace of pity in her eyes.

Inside the thick glass wall was a slender girl wrapped in bandages. Her hands and feet were locked together by heavy metal restraints, and large and small electronic tubes were inserted into her back, connecting to the huge machine behind her.

Silver-white hair floated slightly with the flowing solution. Her body remained curled up, and her soft face was full of haggardness. There was no blood on her pale cheeks. Although she closed her eyes tightly, the circles around her eyes were dark blue, as if she had not slept for many days...

Responsible for taking care of her

The maid knew that the girl had been subjected to dozens of experiments intermittently over the past month. Until a week ago, her health continued to deteriorate and she was on the verge of collapse. When it was really impossible to continue the experiments, the plan was temporarily frozen and she was sent to a treatment center.

However, the miserable look of the girl did not move the two researchers at all, except for the maid behind her. After the Serenity Gem Fusion Experiment was frozen, they, as the original researchers, were only responsible for the repair of 074-k424 and ensuring her body remained alive. Apart from that, they did not need to care about anything else.

"By the way, I've been wondering... Is it really the collar that's the problem? That thing has been blocking the skin on her neck from contacting the treatment solution. I'm afraid the surrounding tissue has deteriorated?"

"Well... that makes sense. She's covered in scars, so it's hard to observe her closely. But, didn't it say that? Subject 074-k424 is extremely dangerous. We need to remove her collar, and the restrictions will be lifted. What if..."

"Hehe... Her brain waves are obviously in a deep coma. Are you still afraid that she will kill you with her eyes? Well, let's not talk about the fact that she can't wake up at all. The Honkai energy in her body doesn't matter. During the fifth experiment, it was weakened to the point that only three artificial stigmata were enough to suppress it. Do you think that even if she wakes up, she can still break free from the restraints with such a weak body?"

The researcher next to him urged. The other person hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, let's do it! We should take some action. If she dies, we will definitely be held responsible. Moreover, I heard that the bishop will come to inspect today, and we can't let him see the precious experimental subject become so weak..."

As they spoke, they immediately took action. After entering a string of codes into the console next to the girl, they manipulated a mechanical arm in the container, slowly raising it up and aiming it at the girl floating in the container.

"Then, in order to put your mind at ease, let's add an insurance policy first."

The researcher who first proposed this said as he controlled the mechanical arm to put a soul steel metal ring on the silver-haired girl's right wrist, fitting it tightly against the restraint and completing the lock.

If Kiana were here, she would find out that this soul steel ring was the tool that Otto used to imprison her during the time she was imprisoned in the Fate of Heaven...';..

After doing all this, the researcher manipulated the robotic arm to reach out to the girl's neck and input the release code into the girl's collar...

"Well, if she can recover, what will Lord Otto do in the next experiment?"

"Who knows. However, as a preliminary test, a spinal tap using an electrode probe is definitely necessary. Haha... this is my favorite job. How loud do you think she will scream this time?"

"Tsk... you have a bad taste, but it's really funny. Stop talking nonsense and get started."

At this moment, the two researchers who were concentrating on entering the code did not notice that a strong fluctuation different from the previous ones suddenly appeared on the screen of the instrument used to monitor the girl's brain waves.

The maid standing behind saw this scene and couldn't help but frowned. She thought about it and took a step forward, intending to report this anomaly to the two researchers.

"You two, um..."

--bite...!

But before that, with a slight sound from the lock when the collar was released, the silver-haired girl floating in the container trembled slightly, and then she suddenly opened her bloodshot blue eyes!

The next moment! As the pure white light filled the entire container, the two researchers froze in their places. Before they could come to their senses, the strong white light dissipated in an instant, and the silver-haired girl had woken up, staring at them coldly with a pair of tired and emotionless blue eyes...

Although the girl was still locked in the container by the restraint device, the two researchers subconsciously felt something was wrong. Before they manipulated the container to release the anesthetic, the change happened again!

———Sizzle!!

As the purple arc flashed across the restraints on her hands and feet, these alloy-cast restraints instantly shattered! After her limbs regained their freedom, she immediately took off the collar hanging around her neck, slightly stretched out her left hand, and the cutting currents appeared again, directly penetrating the transparent container wall in front of her...

——Dang Cang!

250 People who have experienced hell >>

The moment the arc disappeared, the solution mixed with glass fragments gushed out! All this happened in an instant. Before the two researchers could take any action, the silver-haired girl had already rushed out of the container and appeared directly in front of them!

"you......?!"

One of the researchers just

Just as he cried out in surprise, a flash of cold light swept across his throat! The next moment, as blood gushed out, the man fell straight on his back with a horrified expression...

The silver-haired girl held a piece of glass in her hand and turned around without hesitation to kick sideways! The bandaged calf was thrown out like lightning, and the moment it hit the researcher, it sank deeply into his waist! The next moment, accompanied by the muffled sound of heavy blows and the crisp sound of broken bones, the researcher flew sideways with blood spurting out of his mouth and nose! He hit the wall on one side of the room hard. After landing, his body had been bent from the waist into a strange "V" shape, and he died on the spot.

At the same time, the researcher whose trachea had just been cut also fell to the ground. The next moment, the girl turned around again, clamped the glass piece in her hand between her index finger and middle finger, and threw it forward with all her strength! With this action, the sharp glass fragments turned into a stream of light and flew out, leaving a blood arrow on the leg of the maid who was sprinting over!

"Ugh!"

With a short cry of pain, the Valkyrie with an injured leg paused, and her body staggered involuntarily. The silver-haired girl seized this opportunity and immediately approached the maid, nimbly bypassing her side and coming behind her. She quickly locked her neck with her arms, leaned back with force, and fell to the ground with her, and clamped her legs around her waist. The next moment, the silver-haired girl's arms began to exert force...

"Uh...uh!"

The pain of the throat being compressed made the maid come back to her senses instantly. She hurriedly grabbed the other's arm with both hands and began to struggle vigorously! However, no matter how hard she tried, the thin arm wrapped in bandages was like iron, tightly locked on her neck, not as weak as it looked on the surface. In her continuous struggle, not only did he not relax at all, but he was slowly increasing his strength.

The compression of the carotid artery caused insufficient blood supply to the brain, and the maid's consciousness quickly became blurred. But with the support of the desire to survive, she still did not give up struggling until the silver-haired girl slowly leaned over to her ear and whispered...

"Don't worry, I saw everything you did. You are not a bad person. Thank you for taking good care of me during this period of time. In return, I will not kill you..."

The maid was stunned when she heard the silver-haired girl's slightly hoarse voice in her hazy consciousness. Her tense body slowly relaxed. She seemed to want to say something to the girl, but with her throat locked, she could only make faint gasps. It was not until she stopped struggling that the girl loosened her arms, pushed the unconscious maid away, took a few deep breaths, and slowly climbed up.

"That damn Otto! He actually ruined my body like this. I get so tired after just a little exercise..."

While adjusting her breathing, she looked up at the monitor mounted above the door, shrugged nonchalantly, turned around, and slowly walked towards the researcher whose trachea she had ruptured but who had not yet completely died. Her eyes became cold again.

"Hey~ How are you, Dr. Radil? The last time we met, our positions seemed to be reversed. Haha... Is it fun to pierce my spine with an electric spike again and again? Do you think you are having sex? What kind of... spinal intercourse is that?"

As if she recalled something terrible, the girl's face darkened, and she looked at the researcher with dilated pupils with a sneer on her face. Seeing the horrified expression on his face, the girl curled her lips and snorted.

"Although I also know that it is a necessary step in the experiment, but you are definitely enjoying it, right? Humph... You like to hear my screams? You are really a complete pervert..."

Looking down at the male researcher who kept making dry howls in his throat, the girl licked her lips and her smile became more and more intense.

"By the way, you're really lucky to have managed to hold on for so long even with your trachea cut off. I really want to use the means you used to torture me on yourself... But since you took off the collar for me, I will mercifully let you go. You just linger on like this, waiting to exhaust the last breath in your lungs, and then die here like garbage..."

Hillarys bent down, picked up a piece of glass, and hit the researcher's carotid artery twice, ensuring that he would die miserably from suffocation and blood loss within two minutes. She then stripped off his white coat and put it on herself.

Even though her whole body was wrapped in bandages, Shirley felt that she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't wear some clothes...

"Don't stare at me like that. You're lucky enough to die this way... As someone who has played tricks on me, you definitely don't want to know how those 322 scumbags in the Babylon Laboratory were played to death one by one by 'me'... Hehe, although I can't remember that now."

The girl said calmly. If possible, she wanted to bury the experiences of the past two months in the deepest part of her sea of ​​consciousness like Xilin's memories, and never recall them again...

It was not her intention to participate in the experiment.

She didn't want to experience the feeling of cell apoptosis for the second time, but she was forced to undergo dozens of fusion experiments in this month! Shiris couldn't imagine how she could survive if her pain was not digitized...

(After all this time, I finally have this chance! As long as I don’t have the collar, I can use my power... Although there is still little hope of escaping, I don’t want to be killed here without any resistance!)

She thought with a bad face, and suddenly realized something, and raised her right wrist. Shirley looked at the pale yellow metal ring on her wrist, and frowned slightly. The alloy restraint was meaningless under her decomposition current, but for this soul steel, the power of collapse is a little weak?......

"The suppression power is not that strong, but it still has some effect on me... Maybe the 2000hw Mimic Herrscher will be locked up by it, but my Honkai energy strength is more than 3000hw..."

The girl chuckled and spread out her left hand. Under her control, the Houkai energy condensed into crystals, forming the shape of a blade. The next moment, she raised her hand and cut off her right wrist without hesitation!

The pale golden metal ring and the severed hand fell into the pool of blood. The girl bent down calmly, picked up the severed hand, and connected it to the broken part of the arm. As the pure white light lit up slightly, the severed hand was connected by her.

If it was the original Shirley, even if her body had no sense of pain, it would be unimaginable for her to cut off her hand like this. But now, after she did all this, her expression did not fluctuate at all, as if she had long been accustomed to such things...

"Huh... This is much more comfortable. Good weapon materials are used to make torture instruments. It seems that there is too much soul steel in Tianming, right?"

On her reattached right hand, the bandages wrapped around the palm had fallen apart, revealing the pale skin underneath and the cracked dark purple scars all over the back of her hand...

The girl moved her body slightly, then raised the crystal blade again and stabbed it into her chest. Then, she reached into the wound on her chest and pinched out a small mechanical chip. With a little force from her fingers, she crushed it into pieces!

After using her creative power to repair her body again, Shiris took a deep breath.

“I only used three Creation Currents and two Decomposition Currents, but the consumption is so great... That bastard Otto actually took away so much of my Honkai Energy! The remaining amount was suppressed by only three Artificial Stigmata... Before, I had less than half of my Honkai Energy reserves, which required thirty Artificial Stigmata to suppress. Now that there are only three left... I am afraid that the Honkai Energy reserves in my body are not even half of what they were before.”

The girl smiled bitterly, clenched her fists, and turned her eyes to the metal door in front of her. Although her Honkai energy had weakened, with her Kaslana family's physique, even if her body was weakened to this extent, she could still compete with other Valkyries purely by strength.

What's more, my Honkai energy has not been used up yet!

Looking at the monitor above, Shiris smiled slightly and let her remaining Honkai energy flow through her body, secretly accumulating strength...

"Those observers are almost here, right? Then, the trump cards left in that laboratory by overdrawing Honkai energy over the past few days should be put into effect..."

251 The Only Chance

Walking along the long metal passage with several Valkyries, Otto's face was gloomy. Thinking of the many experiments he had done before, his eyes were full of doubts and solemnity...

(What went wrong? The experimental data was collected very well, and each calculation made up for the previous errors, but the fusion rate could not be improved. Why is this?)

He walked and thought, gently pinching his chin, recalling the process of the previous experiment.

(Could it be that K424's self-consciousness is resisting fusion? No, that's impossible. Cell apoptosis during the experiment should have caused her extreme pain. She has no reason to endure the pain and refuse the power that is at her fingertips... So, is there really something wrong with the experiment itself? It's completely deadlocked... Never mind, we can't rush into this kind of thing. Her genes have collapsed, and forced experiments will inevitably kill her. I haven't even had time to ask her why she knew what happened five hundred years ago, but I can't let her die like this...)

At this moment, Otto's thoughts were interrupted by a communication prompt. He frowned and activated the light screen. When he saw the source of the communication, he couldn't help but sneer.

"A communication from the Biological Experiment Maintenance Institute? Haha... Let's not talk about this kind of communication that violates the regulations. I'm here myself. Is there anything that can't be said face to face?"

Looking at the metal door not far away, the maintenance center of the A-E laboratory is already within sight.

In response, Otto ignored the communication and quickened his pace towards the door. He wanted to see what the staff here were doing.

He skillfully used his authority to pass the authentication system. As the metal door slowly rose, Otto took a deep breath. Thinking of the silver-haired girl who had not collapsed despite experiencing so much pain, Otto sincerely admired her willpower. And now, just go and check on her physical condition...

As the metal door was fully opened, Otto exhaled slightly and was about to say something, but the scene that came into his eyes made him stunned on the spot: the huge container in the center of the room had been broken, and the solution and glass residue were scattered all over the floor, and the silver-haired girl who was supposed to be locked inside the container was now...

———Swish!

In the moment when Otto was stunned, a white shadow jumped up like lightning and rushed straight towards Otto! The speed was so fast that neither Otto nor the Valkyrie who was guarding him could react, and the white shadow was already within reach!

Seeing the silver-white hair fluttering in the air and the unreserved killing intent in the sharp blue pupils, Otto's eyes widened slightly in astonishment. Instinctively, a deep red energy vortex emerged around him, as if it would surge out in the next moment. At the same time, his hands also flashed with golden light, and quickly formed a shape, forming the shape of a pistol...

However, faster than these was a small fist with scars all over its surface...

"Remember what I said? You bastard Midorita!"

————Bang!!

Along with the girl's angry shout, the sound of heavy objects hitting each other was heard! Shilis's fist landed hard on the blond man's shocked face. Relying on the strength of her whole body and the heavy punch of Honkai energy, Otto's head was hit backwards! His body also lost balance and fell backwards uncontrollably...

Looking at the metal ceiling of the room, Otto's astonished and slightly confused eyes gradually became dull, and the golden light in his hand and the blood-red vortex around him completely dissipated in an instant.

I was... attacked? I was punched in the face by that K424...?

With a muffled sound, the surrounding Valkyries finally reacted and looked at the blond man in shock as he fell to the ground. They had never seen such a situation before, and forgot what to do for a moment. The next moment, the Valkyries suddenly woke up, rushed forward, and surrounded the silver-haired girl who attacked the Bishop.

Shirley stood there calmly, glanced at the Valkyries who surrounded her, smiled disdainfully, and then turned her gaze to Otto who was covering his face and slowly getting up.

"How did this punch feel, Mr. Otto? Oh... By the way, I almost forgot, you are so thick-skinned, so I guess nothing happened, right? My goal... is to make you never laugh again!"

Shirley sneered. Even though the feeling of the hit just now seemed a little wrong, she was satisfied to be able to hit Otto with a punch like this. Moreover, this result was enough for her to brag about for a few months after returning to Anti-Entropy...

Although she didn't expect that it was Otto who appeared behind the door, this was not inconsistent with Shilis's original plan. She knew very well that there was no damn Honkai energy suppression device in this room, otherwise she would not have done it so carelessly.

"hehe......"

In response to the girl's ridicule, Otto just smiled, stood up, and slowly lowered his right hand that was covering his face.

"Your actions have once again exceeded my expectations, Miss Hillis."

Otto said softly, raising his hand again and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. When Shilis saw Otto's face, she was slightly stunned, and her expression became solemn.

"Your body... is a robot? No! It still has the reactions of a living being, but this feeling is... soul steel?! What's going on?!"

The blond man's face, where he was hit by the girl, did not have the bruises that a normal person would have, but instead had several cracks, from which red liquid similar to blood flowed. As part of the material that made up his face turned into debris and fell off, a metal material with some kind of pattern was revealed behind it...

"Hehe, instead of worrying about my health, Miss Hillis, you should think about what you will face next?"

Otto said this with a hint of coldness in his voice. He stretched out his hand slightly, and the Valkyries around him drew their guns and pointed them at the silver-haired girl who was surrounded in the center.
