Honkai, they all became my stigmata

Prisoner of Babylon

If it is said that the first Houkai that occurred in Berlin in 1953 was the first time that the civilization of this generation revealed the existence of the agent of the will of the Houkai, called "Herserscher", then it happened in 2000. The second collapse showed human civilization just how terrifying and destructive the existence of the Herrscher could be - the whole of Siberia became a desolate wasteland, and countless countries fell into turmoil and crisis.

And the source of this second collapse is the tower built by destiny on the snowy field of Siberia—[Babylon Tower].

"..."

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a long time, or maybe it was just a moment, Chen Yu opened his eyes again.

He did successfully "break away" from the interception of the Destiny Headquarters and Rita, and came here.

Stretching his limbs, he confirmed his state. Fortunately, this body is still a human body—although it is only about the equivalent of thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Anyway, at least it's still a person..."

Chen Yu muttered and stood up.

[Host identity has been mapped to 'nameless prisoner']

The voice of the system continued to state in an unhurried manner, as if supplementing Chen Yu's background knowledge, telling him the relevant details.

After all, this time he was not a little Honkai beast summoned by the queen, but a different person...a prisoner imprisoned in the Tower of Babylon.

This laboratory standing on the Siberian snowfield is equipped with the world's third largest Houkai reactor, which continuously provides energy for the three scientific research departments in this 152-meter-high giant building and produces Various anti-Honkai techniques.

In the external publicity of Destiny, this is a holy tower built for countless ordinary people in the world who are suffering from the plague of Houkai Neng because of the existence of Houkai Neng, but in fact...

Countless terminally ill patients due to Hoonkai infection were sent here, into this dark hell, and became "medical consumables" for researchers to test the relationship between Hoonkai's energy and the human body.

This place has never been a paradise for treating Houkai. When those poor patients hoped to be healed by the medical technology of destiny with a little luck, they never thought that what was waiting was a prison cabin with darkness like a prison, and the pain was even worse. Houkai, which is more than a disease, can be injected into the experiment.

The Tower of Babylon is the embodiment of the arrogance of destiny.

Destiny created the karmic retribution with his own hands here, and summoned the divine punishment of Honkai on his head. It was here, in this high tower where Honkai can gather in large numbers, that he was born, which will be called the second god in the future. the existence of lawyers.

Is there anything more ironic than creating a Queen of the Honkai by herself in order to resist the Honkai?

And Chen Yu's identity this time was also an unnamed boy who voluntarily signed the agreement and passed the eligibility test, and was secretly sent here for "healing".

"...Experimental subject?"

Before this Tower of Babylon was destroyed by Sirin herself, countless lives disappeared in the cold wind of Siberia every year, and what the dust feather reflected was probably just one of the countless souls that had been buried by the wind and snow.

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and looked at his current body. Under a white dress that could barely cover his body was a boy's frail arm. It seemed that it was a new consumable that had just been transported here. His body Has not been subjected to traces of experimentation.

His body, which was originally equivalent to an A-level Valkyrie, did not inherit into this mapped world. After all, it was only a reflection of consciousness... However, Chen Yu closed his eyes and felt the power of the stigmata.

As the system said, he was indeed able to bring the power of the stigmata to the mapped world.

And it seems that because of the stigmata, the Honkai disease that this body was originally suffering from didn't make Chen Yu feel pain, rather... it became the nourishment of the stigmata?

After checking his physical condition, Chen Yu began to observe the layout of the prison cell.

The place where he woke up was a cold iron bed. Naturally, destiny would not provide good living conditions for these experimental consumables.

Thin clothing, poor living conditions, snow and ice in the extreme north, plus the pain caused by the Houkai energy experiment...

Chen Yu shook his head, it was hard to imagine what kind of pain the children living here endured.

On the opposite side of his iron bed, there is another bed. Looking at the long purple hair scattered beside the bed, it is self-evident who his "roommate" is.

At this moment, the iron door of the prison room he was in rang, and two researchers in white coats dragged a girl with long purple hair and brought her back.

Throwing the skinny girl into the room without any emotion, completely ignoring Chen Yu in the room, the two researchers turned and left.

——The girl who was left behind was none other than Sirin.

The girl knelt on the ground without saying a word.From the fresh wounds visible to the naked eye, it can be seen that she has just undergone a Honkai energy injection experiment. According to the number of bandages left on her arms and feet, it can be seen that she has received many experiments here for a long time up.

The experimental subjects who can be sent to this dark tower of Babylon are all children with Houkai adaptability, and Sirin is the best of this group of children.

If she hadn't been sent here, she might have become an outstanding Valkyrie according to her talent.It's a pity that this talent, which could have been the strength for her growth, did not bring her a happy life. Instead, she was tortured by the experimenters longer than other children and endured unimaginable pain.

It is precisely because of this that she began to hate humans and everything, until in the end, she became a puppet of Houkai, the Herrscher of the Sky who acted on behalf of God's will, and personally destroyed this sky-reaching cage that brought her endless pain .

This is an out-and-out tragedy, so even though he was thrown out like a cannonball by the queen to blow up Raven's villa island not long ago, facing the thin girl in front of him, Chen Yu couldn't feel any malice in his heart.

For some reason, the system hasn't issued him the task of mapping this time, although it seems that there was some delay in Che Che's world line before.

At least at this point in time, she has not yet become the Second Herrscher, so maybe she can do something else.

...Anyway, let's say hello to this poor girl first.

At the same time he got up from the iron bed and walked towards the girl kneeling on the ground, the voice of the system finally came belatedly, announcing his mission in this mapping world.

[This mapping task: take Sirin and leave the Tower of Babylon together]

Chapter 7

Xilin

"...Escape from the Tower of Babylon?"

Hearing the request of this mission, Chen Yu was slightly taken aback.

Standing alone on this tall tower on the Siberian snowfield, with the ability of an ordinary child, it would be impossible to escape.

Let’s not talk about the monitoring facilities all over the tower that even if Chen Yu didn’t know about it, he would be able to guess—for example, the cameras that are pointing at the room between him and Sirin right now, and all kinds of things that Chen Yu can’t name but will definitely exist in The Houkai detection device and automatic patrol mecha here, even if you ignore all of these...

On the outside of the tower, there is a desperately vast, snow-capped Siberian permafrost. Even if the lucky little ones are lucky enough to bypass the tight defenses and leave the tower, they want to rely on It is almost impossible to survive in this world of ice and snow with a thin layer of clothes on.

Fortunately, for Chen Yu, this is not a completely impossible task. If he can escape from the Tower of Babylon with Sirin, it will probably prevent Sirin from degenerating into the Second Herrscher in this timeline .

Compared with surviving the Changkong City that broke out from the Great Crash, the current mission obviously has a higher success rate.

Even today, two years later, Chen Yu can't forget how he lived in Changkong City when the Houkai broke out. Countless humans were infected by the Houkai energy and became dead soldiers. All kinds of Houkai beasts shuttled through the streets The wanton slaughter of creatures in the alley... Although it is a bit shameful to say it, but at that time he almost relied on Bronya's protection to survive.

After all, he was just an ordinary person at that time, but Bronya was a specially trained killer, the "Silver Wolf of the Urals", and she also had an external armor body such as a heavy armored rabbit.

"...I don't know what's going on with Bronya and the others."

Chen Yu thought silently.

Even though he already knew that the vast majority of them would not be in danger of their lives in this event of the Herrscher's awakening, Chen Yu would inevitably still be a little worried.

"...Let's focus on the task at hand first."

If he can pass the mission here and get something, he might have a chance to go back and help.

Escape from the Tower of Babylon, although not a simple but understandable task.

If you want to escape from this Tower of Babylon, you must first figure out the overall layout here, find a route that can be left, and then choose the right time to attack.

Before that, he still needs to spend some time investigating the situation of this tower and figure out the layout of the defense here.

And the first thing to do now... is to establish a good relationship with Sirin.

Anyway, since the system wants him to take Sirin to escape from the Tower of Babylon, he must first gain the trust of the purple-haired girl.

Chen Yu came in front of Sirin, knelt down on one knee, and gently extended her hand to her.

"Hello."

"..."

Hearing this, the purple-haired girl looked up like a marionette who had lost her soul, and raised her head hesitantly, and saw Chen Yu in front of her.

She had never met him, but he was about the same age as her, so he must have come here...to "cure".

"You are……"

the girl asked slowly.

The experimental subjects who came here did not have their own names. To be precise, those upper-level researchers did not need to know their names, because most of the experimental subjects could not survive a few experiments and were not remembered. the value of.

Therefore, only the "serial number" is engraved on the nameplate of their thin and scanty clothes.

Sirin herself is subject No. 51, and the serial number of the peer in front of her has already reached four digits.

Of course, the children will share names with each other and help each other, but whether it is Aurora, Agata or Bella, these friends after Sirin came to this tower have all been from her side. One disappeared.

Those "doctors" lied to her that they were just transferred to other places to continue to receive treatment, but Sirin is not stupid, every child who left never came back, and this place...is not really used for medical treatment place, but a hell, a hell that brings nothing but pain.

"...My name is Chen Yu."

Chen Yu introduced herself to the poor girl in as gentle a tone as possible.

"What about you? What's your name?"

"...Si... Lin."

After hesitating for a while, the girl still told him her name. Although she didn't know it, he already knew her name in front of him.

"It's cold on the ground, let's stand up first and sit by the bed."

——Although under the cold wind of Siberia, the temperature brought by the iron bed is actually not much different from the cold ground.

"……it is good."

She stretched out a bandaged hand, let Chen Yu pull herself up, and sat on the edge of her iron bed.

Of course, although two single beds are arranged in this small room, it is actually limited by the small area, and the distance between the two iron beds is no more than the distance that one person can pass.

"They...soon...will come and take you there..."

Sirin said in a low voice.

This is the fate of all children sent here, there is no escape, no escape.

And almost all the children except Sirin couldn't bear those Hoonkai injection experiments a few times, and they would be declared "scrap".

Therefore, Sirin had to endure the pain caused by the long experiment, and at the same time, she had to witness the permanent departure of one friend after another.

And how many rounds can the newcomer in front of her, who is almost the same age as her, survive...?

Sirin doesn't know, so the only thing she can do is to send a small reminder to let him know the darkness here in advance, so that, at least when he knows the truth, he won't be too overwhelmed like she was deceived. pain.

"They... do bad things, it will... hurt..."

"..."

Dust Feather sighed.

... To be honest, under such extremely painful and dark conditions, Chen Yu can fully understand that Sirin finally embraced the embrace of Honkai. After all, what this dog Otto did is really not human. If he had the chance, he would have punched Otto's soul-steel face so high and low that it would have been crooked.

As if to confirm Sirin's statement, there was a sound of opening the iron door. Through the narrow window on the iron door, Chen Yu could see that two other experimenters different from the previous ones came here, probably to bring him take away.

Chen Yu had already made preparations. After all, he could not find a way to escape if he had been staying in this small room. Before the iron door was pushed open, he touched the little purple head and whispered to her In a word.

"If I come back safely...just be my friend, will you, Sirin?"

Chapter 8

I'm in pain, I'm pretending

Sure enough, the two researchers who opened the door didn't pay attention to the silent Sirin, and came straight to Chen Yu, one of them said to the other.

"The new experimental subject is him?"

"Yes, take him away."

For this generation of humans, the average Hoonkai resistance of males is weaker than that of females, so qualified males like Chen Yu are very rare, in other words, they are also very valuable for research.

Of course, the premise is that he can withstand the Houkai energy injection experiment in the tower. In this high tower, the method of testing the resistance of the experimental subject to the Houkai energy is very simple and very rough-simple injection into the body of the experimental subject. A certain amount of Houkai energy, being able to survive, means having a corresponding level of Houkai energy adaptability.

Men's Houkai energy resistance is generally weaker than that of women. Even most of the qualified females sent here cannot withstand even one injection experiment of Houkai energy, and they can only be ruthlessly disposed of as waste products.

Therefore, the quiet young man in front of him probably won't survive a few times, and he must collect as much experimental data as possible while he is still alive.

"..."

Xi Lin who was patted by Chen Yu was a little dazed, looking at him who was taken out by the researchers, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

For some reason, she changed her posture so that the angle of her leaning against the wall was right in front of the iron door that had been deprived of light.

This iron door is something she is used to. She can't even remember the time she lived here. Her "roommate" has changed from batch to batch, but...he seems to... slidely different?

Can he... really come back?
