"That medical institution is called Babylon."

"......" Walter was silent. He really didn't expect that the successor he had chosen at the beginning would go through all this.

He naturally knew that the so-called Babylonian medical institution was just a cover for [Destiny] to deliver experimental subjects to the Babylonian laboratory. And generally speaking, the experimental subjects who entered Babylon did not have a good ending...

"How long have they been in there?"

"For several months, our people have been unable to enter the Tower to investigate, and now their life or death is unknown." Einstein shook his head. "I think you should not hold out too much hope. It is difficult for a child to survive in there for a long time..."

"......" Walter was silent and made a decision in his heart.

"During this trip to Siberia, we will send some people to investigate the information of the Tower."

Chapter 6: Stupid Xilin

Destiny Headquarters.

A man with long blond hair was sitting elegantly on a chair. His long hair was tied into a single ponytail and draped over his right shoulder, giving him a dangerous feeling (referring to his hairstyle).

The man holds a glass of red wine in his left hand, and the moon falls into the wine, reflecting the man's face. It has a kind of artistic conception and beauty of "raising the glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow and he become three people".

This person is none other than the current Bishop of Heaven's Mandate, Otto Apokalis. At this moment, he is on the floating battleship of Heaven's Mandate, listening to the report from his secretary Amber.

"Your Excellency, there was a riot in the Babylon Laboratory. According to the investigation, the cause was the escape of two experimental subjects..."

"Oh?" Otto turned his head with interest, looked at the respectful Amber beside him, and asked, "Did the last two test subjects escape?"

"...escaped." Amber was silent for a moment and said affirmatively.

"That's really interesting, how did they do it?" Otto asked curiously, and Amber immediately played the surveillance footage of that period on the projection screen.

Otto watched the "prison break" scene of Gu Che and the other man with great interest, with an inexplicable smile on his face, like an innocent child who had discovered something that interested him.

But after watching for a while, Otto's smile gradually disappeared from his face. He used his hand to picture the researcher confronting Xilin, and asked Amber in front of him:

“Why didn’t this researcher shoot?”

Amber was also stunned by the question. She shook her head and said she didn't know: "The researcher is dead."

Otto smiled and ordered, "Amber, notify the Babylonian laboratory and have them check the concentration of Honkai energy on the bottom floor."

"Yes!" Amber nodded, turned and left to complete the task assigned by Otto.

Otto had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

Amber came back soon. The test report she gave was exactly in line with Otto's conjecture. There was indeed too much residual Honkai energy in the bottom layer, especially in the place where the two experimental subjects had stayed...

"Amber, send Patrick to hunt down the two escaped test subjects." Otto thought for a moment and added, "Send Theresa as well. It's time to let my dear granddaughter move around."

"Yes, Bishop." Amber nodded and started to contact...

After explaining everything, Otto drank red wine and looked at the two experimental subjects on the screen with interest. He asked, "Amber, what are the names of these two experimental subjects?"

...............................

"Gu Che, Xilin."

At this time, in a house in Russia, a gray-haired woman was gently asking the two children in front of her, "Did I call you the right name?"

"Yes, Ms. Alexandra." Gu Che nodded. He and Xilin were now sitting at the dining table with some bread and milk in front of them.

Firewood was burning in the fireplace, and from time to time there was a "crackling" sound of burning firewood. The warm firelight illuminated the walls, and the whole house became much warmer.

Gu Che looked at the lady in front of him and didn't rush to get the food. Xilin beside him looked at her brother and didn't move. Although she was very hungry, she also did her best. She looked at the bread and milk on the table eagerly, and then looked at Gu Che eagerly.

[After a night of high-speed driving, the fuel in your car has run out. You and Xilin have no choice but to get out of the car and walk...]

[You have already considered this situation, and you are not complaining too much. Rather, even if the car has a lot of gas, you will choose to abandon it. You cannot guarantee that the car stolen from the Tower of Babylon does not have a positioning device. ]

[It's already daytime, the snow is still falling, and the temperature is very cold, making you feel very uncomfortable wearing only a white coat... Fortunately, there is a military coat in the car, you let Xilin put it on, and walk on the road of escape together. ]

[The thread of fate trembled, and you were lucky enough to meet a gray-haired woman. She felt sorry for you and decided to give you a ride, and you agreed.]

Alexandra's hair is curled into spirals on both sides and falls naturally on her shoulders.

She was not a pursuer of the Tower, at least not like one of them. No pursuer of the Tower would choose to take two escaped and miserable experimental subjects away from the influence of the Tower when they found them.

When Gu Che invaded the system of the Tower, he naturally learned that the Babylon Laboratory was the third largest laboratory of Tianming, providing the theoretical basis and data support for Tianming's artificial stigmata.

[Destiny] couldn't let himself and Sirin escape, especially after Sirin became a suspected Herrscher...

And Alexandra is the one of [Destiny], which is even more impossible...

How could someone from [Destiny] treat him and Xilin well after meeting them? It would be good enough if they didn't give him a few big bags.

She is a gentle and kind lady, Gu Che concluded. At least, Gu Che could not see anything wrong with Alexandra.

Thinking of this, Gu Che looked at the simulator panel again. The talent [A Promise Worth a Thousand Golds] was still silently emitting a faint golden light, proving that it was still working.

His wound had been treated with the medical kit in Alexandra's house, and the bullet had been removed, so the problem was not serious. Although the wound was still painful, Gu Che felt relieved without the worry of infection.

Gu Che picked up a piece of bread and handed it to Xilin. The girl's eyes suddenly showed stars and she ate it happily.

"Thank you for taking me in, Ms. Alexandra." Gu Che said gratefully, "Without your help, Xilin and I don't know how long we would have stayed in this icy and snowy place."

"Haha," Alexandra chuckled, "I'm really happy to see you, so there's no need to be so reserved."

"But I want to know, why are you two kids in such a remote place?"

"Xilin and I..."

"Cough cough cough!" The girl next to him suddenly started coughing. Gu Che turned his head and found that Xilin was choking and was about to cry.

He smiled helplessly and handed over a glass of milk. Xilin hurriedly took it and gulped down the drink. After a few sips, she came to her senses. She looked at Gu Che with gratitude, and then she realized that Gu Che was looking at her with a strange look.

"Brother, do you think I'm stupid..." Xilin complained.

"Yes," Gu Che shook his head helplessly, "I didn't expect that even though I hid it so well, Xilin found it."

Xilin immediately turned into a furry cat, clenching her fists, wanting to teach this hateful brother a lesson. Gu Che quickly dodged.

"Haha, the relationship between the brother and sister is really good." Laughter came from the side. The originally excited Xilin suddenly became depressed. She nodded with a red face and ate the bread in small bites silently.

She really forgot there were strangers around her...

She was still playing with her brother at this time. Could she really be a fool? Xilin quickly put aside these distracting thoughts and could not continue thinking about them.

"[God], am I really a fool?" She couldn't help but ask in her heart.

【......】God did not reply.

Chapter 7: Do people discriminate against short people?

【After this small incident, you and Alexandra continued the previous topic. 】

[Of course, you cannot tell her about your and Xilin's origins. Not to mention whether this will cause unnecessary trouble to you, if Alexandra knows about the information about the Tower, it will probably be an unexpected disaster for her.]

【You decide to talk nonsense seriously. 】

"Xilin and I were abducted by human traffickers when we were young, and we finally escaped now." Gu Che said this, with a hint of fear and worry in his eyes.

Alexandra believed it. Whether it was Gu Che and Xilin's bodies that were obviously lacking in nutrition, or the dense needle holes on their arms, or the bruises on their bodies that had not yet disappeared, it was easy to be convinced.

She had even thought about how the two children were tortured by the traffickers and how they escaped despite all the hardships and dangers.

Alexandra's eyes softened.

"What are your plans next?" she asked.

Gu Che thought for a moment and said, "We are going to seek refuge with our relatives."

His plan was to look for Walter Yang, but Gu Che had no idea how to find him. He could only take it one step at a time and try to find him.

However, Gu Che is confident about this. After all, his sister seems to have become a Herrscher now. If not, it is also related to [Honkai Impact]. He believes that [Anti-Entropy] will not sit idly by and do nothing about it. Of course, [Destiny] is also...

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"No, thanks." Gu Che shook his head and rejected the other party's kindness.

The other party helped him, and he couldn't drag the other party into the quagmire... What he had to do now was to leave here as soon as possible.

So Gu Che patted Xilin who was still eating bread beside him, and thanked Alexandra: "Ms. Alexandra, thank you for taking me in. We have to leave now."

Both Xilin and Alexandra showed surprise on their faces, but Xilin did not curiously ask Gu Che's intention. She just silently quickened her eating and drinking pace.

"So soon? Do you want to take a day off?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but we do have to leave." Gu Che shook his head and stood up. Xilin also stood up and bowed to Alexandra with a blushing face.

So Gu Che and Xilin prepared to set off again, but were stopped before leaving.

"It's cold outside, put on your coats." Alexandra came over with two coats and some food in her hands.

"Take these foods with you, too."

"Thank you." Gu Che took the clothes and food without any hesitation and bowed.

"Aunt Alexandra, if anyone comes to ask about our whereabouts, just tell them the truth."

Alexandra smiled, nodded, and watched the two children leave.

She could tell that Gu Che was hiding something, but she didn't ask any more questions. She could only help the two children to the best of her ability...

...........

Shortly after Gu Che and Xi Lin left, two uninvited guests visited Alexandra's home.

Alexandra was not surprised. After all, Gu Che's last words before leaving had already given her a shot of prevention.

She greeted two white-haired people, one tall and one short, very naturally. The tall one called himself Patrick, with short hair, and was asking her about the information of Gu Che and Xi Lin.

"So, you're saying that they borrowed the medical kit in your house, ate something, and left a long time ago?"

Patrick observed the room calmly, thinking about the information given by destiny. The woman in front of him didn't know the special nature of the two experimental subjects. She was just passing by and gave them a ride...

"Yes, Ms. Patrick," Alexandra nodded, "but I have a question."

"what?"

"Can your organization bring family members with you when you go out on duty?" Alexandra's eyes fell on Theresa.

A big “#” immediately appeared above Theresa’s head, and she became furious.

She was clearly the leader of this operation, but this woman not only ignored her but also thought she was a child?!

Do you look down on her so much?! Just because she's short?

She's sad too!

Now on a mission, hold on, hold on!

"Hahaha, don't look at Lady Theresa like this. She is my boss now." Patrick laughed. She was very unhappy about the fact that Theresa was persecuted because of her height.

"Really? I can't believe your boss is so young." Alexandra continued.

Doesn't this mean I'm small?!

Teresa: (ノ`Д?)ノ彡┻━┻

"Patrick, let's go. We have enough information to investigate here." Theresa stood up and walked out of the room angrily without even drinking the water on the table.

"Hey, Theresa, wait for me, I'll be there soon." Patrick replied quickly.

"Then hurry up!" Theresa had already left the room. The voice came from a distance. From the sound, she had walked quite a distance. It seemed that she really didn't want to stay in this room.

Patrick thought about it and agreed. If she were Theresa, she wouldn't be able to stay there either.

The woman named Alexandra did not seem to be deliberately teasing Theresa. Instead, she had a natural look. It was this kind of personality that made Theresa unable to get angry.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Alexandra." Patrick said, and walked out while operating the communication device in his hand.

[The target has left...]

"Patrick, are you still not okay?" Theresa's voice came from outside.

"Coming, coming." Patrick calmly put away the communication and hurried to catch up.

The target is just two children, how far can they run? Now that we know the general information, we are not far from capturing them.

Alexandra silently watched Patrick's receding figure, her right hand unconsciously placed on her belly, revealing a gentle smile.

She thought again of the two children who had just left and prayed in her heart that they were safe.
