A Promise with Sirin!

At this moment, two guards approached the laboratory, grabbed Ling Xi from both sides, and pulled him off the experimental table. At the same time, they skillfully put shackles on Ling Xi took the opportunity to look at his body...

Okay, it seems I've reverted to my ten-year-old form. No wonder I can't sense the presence of Honkai Energy!

Although Ling Xi wanted to kill those two right now, her Honkai Energy hadn't recovered yet, so...

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; he should endure this for now and wait until his Honkai Energy recovers before making any moves.

Moreover, I don't even know where I am, so...

Before you're sure you've reached the top level here, it's best not to make any rash moves. What if you mess it up?

Although I can be resurrected, but...

Looking at the current environment, it seems we've already entered the 20th century, maybe even the 21st. So, I can't die again. If I die again, who knows how long it will take to be resurrected next time?

Why is it that every time I resurrect, I get discovered? The first time was okay, because my wife took me home, but this time, no wife is here to see me. There are only two researchers who look like villains.

So, Ling Xi did not resist and was escorted back to her room, or rather... cage, by two guards!

That's right, it's a cage, similar to the structure of a prison, with absolutely no privacy!

"Go in!"

After opening the cell door, the guard unlocked Ling Xi's handcuffs and then kicked Ling Xi inside...

Ling Xi: "..." Just you wait, I'll kill you sooner or later.

Are you alright?

Just as Ling Xi was wondering how long it would take for her to recover her Honkai Energy, a girl's voice suddenly reached her ears, and a slender arm supported Ling Xi, asking, "Can you get up? Let me help you..."

"Thanks..."

Ling Xi did not refuse, after all, her body had not fully recovered and she was no different from a normal child.

As Ling Xi thanked the girl, she stood up again with her help and looked at her, wanting to express her gratitude once more...

"Um?"

However, Ling Xi froze the moment she saw the other person, because...

Those golden eyes, those purple hair, and that incredibly familiar face—there's no mistake, absolutely no mistake, it's her...

The Second Herrscher, Sirin!

Or rather... the future Second Herrscher!

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Seeing Ling Xi suddenly freeze, Sirin asked with some concern, even though she and Ling Xi didn't know each other...

In such a place, this is one of the few remaining forms of kinship, or rather... like lab rats licking each other's wounds.

"No... it's nothing."

Ling Xi snapped out of her daze, but her mind was already racing with thoughts!

If the girl before them is indeed Sirin, then this is clearly Schicksal's Babylon Laboratory in Siberia. And according to the plot, Sirin will soon become the Second Herrscher, and then the Second Honkai War will begin...

It seems the timing of my awakenings was quite coincidental. The first time, I was woken up by my whining wife, and the second time, although I wasn't woken up by her, I still encountered her immediately after waking up, and...

Sirin has not yet become Herrscher, which means...

I had a chance to stop her!

But...

Why should I stop it?

Since the Second Herrscher is bound to be born, there's no point in trying to stop it. It's better to... cultivate her favor before Sirin becomes a Herrscher. That way, even after she Herrscher, she might still listen to me. And if Sirin is obedient, then...

The Second Honkai War wouldn't have happened, and Sirin wouldn't have died. This is... the best ending.

Damn it, if I could have woken up earlier and recovered some of my Honkai Energy, I could have escaped with Sirin and Sirin wouldn't have suffered any more torment. And if I could recover 10% of my strength, I could have easily destroyed this research institute.

Only...

"Um, could you tell me your name?"

At this moment, Sirin cautiously asked Ling Xi a question. Although she felt that Ling Xi seemed a little dazed, perhaps she was stunned by the shock, but...

Ling Xi is younger than me, so I should take care of him a little, even though I can't even take care of myself right now.

"Huh? My name is Ling Xi."

Ling Xi then came to her senses again and directly stated her name.

"Ling Xi? What a coincidence!"

Upon hearing Ling Xi's name, Sirin seemed somewhat surprised and laughed, "My name is Sirin, and our names... are just reversed."

"Really? That's quite a coincidence."

Ling Xi naturally already knew Sirin's identity, but she still pretended to be surprised and said with a smile, "It seems that it was fate that brought us together, although... the environment here is really not very good."

"Hmm... yes..."

A flicker of pain crossed Sirin's eyes, but she still smiled at Ling Xi, a small hint of happiness in her heart. After all, in this place, finding joy amidst hardship was a kind of pleasure, for example...

I met someone with such a coincidental name.

Chapter 596: The Promise with Sirin!

"So, you've been here for three months?"

A moment later, the two sat together on the hard bed, and Ling Xi learned about Sirin's situation, such as when she arrived and how long she had been there.

"Um..."

Sirin nodded dejectedly. "Bella and Agatha came with me, but they're already... um..."

As she spoke, Sirin finally couldn't hold back her tears. Those were... her friends. Although she had only known them for a few months, Sirin had watched them die before her very eyes, and then the soldiers stuffed them into bags like garbage, burying them somewhere unknown... no...

It's even possible that it wasn't buried at all...

"Whoosh..."

Even though Ling Xi was mentally prepared and already knew the plot, she was still extremely angry. Otto ...

Okay, I don't deny that you've done many things that are good for humanity as a whole, but...

To be honest, even so, I still can't help but want to kill you, you scoundrel!

"Number 52, your food!"

At that moment, a soldier suddenly appeared at the door, took a piece of black bread from the bucket and threw it into the cell, leaving behind a bowl of water!

"Wait... wait a minute!"

Sirin immediately came closer and said, "There are two of us here, you should give us two portions!"

"No!"

The soldier didn't even bother to look at Sirin, and went straight to the next cell with the bucket.

"..."

Sirin remained silent for a while, but in the end she could only pick up the only piece of bread and smile at Ling Xi, "Let's share it. Even though it's only one piece, eating it will make us less hungry."

As she spoke, Sirin handed a large portion of the black bread to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi: "..." This thing... are you sure you can eat it?

After receiving the black bread from Sirin, Ling Xi looked at it for a while, then smelled it. It felt... similar to Yongzi's bacteria-containing bread, with a slightly foul odor.

However, out of curiosity, Ling Xi decided to take a bite to taste it, and the result was...

"Holy crap, is this even edible?"

One bite nearly broke Ling Xi's teeth. She was Fused Warrior, yet she was taken down by a piece of black bread!

Ling Xi looked up at Sirin and noticed that Ling Xi had dipped the bread in a little water before carefully putting it into her mouth...

"Sirin!"

Ling Xi acted decisively, snatching the bread from Sirin's hand.

"Huh?"

Sirin was stunned for a moment, and her eyes looked at Ling Xi with a mixture of... disappointment and fear.

"If you... if you don't have enough to eat, then you can have it..."

Clearly, Sirin couldn't think of any other reason besides Ling Xi wanting to steal her bread, and... she didn't dare to resist.

"Why..."

Seeing Sirin's cautious and frightened appearance, Ling Xi sighed and looked towards the door. There were no patrolling people at the moment.

"Sirin ..."

Ling Xi reached out and gently grasped Sirin's right hand...

"Hmm..."

Sirin became even more nervous; she didn't know what Ling Xi was going to do.

"Don't worry, we're friends."

Ling Xi gave Sirin a gentle smile, then gently led her to the bedside. She sat on the outside, shielding Sirin's body, and said, "I'll show you a magic trick, but... don't make a sound or shout, okay? Otherwise, there won't be any food left."

"Uh-huh..."

Although Sirin didn't know what Ling Xi was up to, she still nodded.

"Give..."

So, Ling Xi didn't even bother to snap her fingers. She simply took out a cake from her System Space because... she remembered that Sirin seemed to really like cake, especially... birthday cake.

"Um, this..."

Sirin was stunned. She subconsciously wanted to scream, but...

"Ugh..."

Sirin quickly covered her mouth; thank goodness...

At the same time, the aroma of the cake wafted into Sirin's nose...

"Gurgle..."

Sirin couldn't help but drool over another cake... She... had forgotten when she last ate a cake.

"Sirin, come on, open your mouth."

Ling Xi didn't make Sirin wait any longer. She took out a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and carefully brought it to Sirin's lips.

"I..."

Sirin seemed to want to say something, but in the end, her body moved involuntarily, opening her mouth and gently biting the cake that Ling Xi fed her...

Instantly, the sweet aroma filled her mouth, making Sirin feel as if she had entered paradise...

"So delicious..."

A tear welled up in Sirin's eye. This was... the taste of happiness.

Ling Xi "..."

This cake really is versatile!

She initially won over Yingyingying and Rin by presenting them with a cake, then tricked Little Li Zi into going home with the same cake, and now...

Even if she becomes the invincible Second Herrscher in the future, she is still just an ordinary little girl now.

Cake, truly one of the greatest masterpieces in human history!

Perhaps, when I encounter those mischievous kids in the future, I might be able to trick them into giving me a cake.

Am I... dreaming?

When Sirin came to her senses, she found herself still in the cell, but the cake in front of her was still there, so she began to wonder if she was dreaming.

"Silly girl, this is not a dream."
