Sneaking Away with the Little Angel... / Ling Xi Charged In-and Got a Game Over!
Ling Xi smiled at Sirin and said, "Here, there's more. Eat slowly. I'll take you home in a few days."
"Go home?"
Sirin paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "My home... is gone. The monster... destroyed my home, my mom and dad..."
"It's okay, I'll be your family from now on."
Ling Xi smiled again, thinking that while Sirin was still relatively easy to fool, she should hurry up and win her over. Otherwise, once she became Herrscher, her mind would mature, and it wouldn't be so easy to win her over then.
"Um..."
Sirin nodded gently, then happily continued eating the cake Ling Xi fed her. As for the future... let's not talk about what the future holds for now, at least... we should live in the present.
"Ling Xi... can we... leave this place?"
Originally, Sirin's heart had died, but because of Ling Xi, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope again. However... did this hope really exist?
"Don't worry, you can definitely do it!"
Ling Xi gave Sirin a confident smile.
"Don't worry, I'll take you away from here in a few days."
While feeding Sirin, Ling Xi continued, "After we leave here, I'll take you to a big city. You can eat whatever you want then. I'll take you to buy the prettiest dresses and eat the most delicious food. But... before that, you have to survive, okay?"
"Okay, I understand!"
Sirin nodded firmly. She... had to survive, she absolutely had to... get out of here!
"Why..."
Seeing Sirin's appearance, Ling Xi made a decision: once her strength recovered somewhat, she would take Sirin away, even if it disrupted the plot. Right now, all she wanted was to take Sirin with her!
Chapter 597: Escaping with the Little Angel...
Seeing Sirin's expectant look, Ling Xi made her own decision. Although she shouldn't have rescued Sirin prematurely if she wanted to maintain the original plot, as this might lead to a change of the Second Herrscher or delay Sirin's Herrscher, but...
More Ling Xi than the plot is protecting Sirin!
Because... when I first came to the Honkai world, if it weren't for Sirin's appearance, I would have become a member of the Dishi squad long ago. Sirin helped me countless times afterward, especially when I was the Third Herrscher, she sacrificed all her power to help me!
Only...
Since the Finality battle, Sirin has disappeared. Although I have been trying to call out to her and search for her, I have never found any clues!
And now, Sirin is right before her eyes, the living, breathing Sirin, the real Sirin. Although she doesn't know what the relationship is between this Sirin and the little Sirin from before, but...
This time, I will absolutely not let her get hurt. The Second Herrscher... let whoever wants her have her, I only want Sirin.
As for Kiana...
Perhaps all I can say is sorry, or... after I've settled things with Sirin, I'll ask that girl for some blood to give to Gou Tuo so she can continue with the "Sirin Project"!
In short, no matter what, I've got Sirin covered!
"Number 52!"
In the evening, a researcher came to the two men's cell door, left a meal or two, and said, "Eat more tonight. You'll be participating in experiments tomorrow, so don't die."
After saying that, the researcher left immediately...
"Experiment... no... don't..."
Sirin was trembling with fear. The experiment... the experiment...
Every time I participated in one of these so-called experiments, it was an experience worse than death, and these experiments...
Over the past few months, I've attended one or two events almost every week, or even more!
Bella and the others died because they couldn't endure the pain and experiments. As for myself...
"Ling Xi ..."
Sirin looked at Ling Xi with a face full of despair. She didn't know what to say. She only felt that if she participated in this kind of experiment again, she would die...
"It's alright, Sirin!"
Ling Xi gently hugged Sirin to comfort her, but she also felt a little helpless. This was just too unfortunate!
If I could wait a few more days until my strength recovered somewhat, I could easily level this place, but...
Tomorrow, Sirin will be taken away again for cruel human experiments. Although Ling Xi knows Sirin definitely won't die, but...
I don't want to cause Sirin any more pain!
Let's take action tonight...
Although he had only recovered a little bit of his strength, he didn't want to wait any longer. Even though his reason told him that he should wait a few more days until his strength had recovered to a sufficient level before taking action, which would be the safest option!
But... the price is that Sirin will suffer for a few more days, and I...
It's impossible!
In the Previous Era, I had already missed out on a lot because of my hesitation, and this time...
I won't hesitate!
"Although it has only recovered a little, this is all we can do."
Around four in the morning, Ling Xi checked her own power. The power of the Stigmata and the power of the Super Transformation had only recovered a little bit, and only the Honkai Energy had been restored. Her body was still a fragile human body!
Damn it, if I had known we would encounter this situation, I should have prepared some conventional weapons in the first place, so we wouldn't be in such a passive position now.
As for the Star Destroyer J-20 Pro, it also requires Honkai Energy to activate, so... even if I can use it now, it won't have much power.
This is absolutely outrageous!
However, we must act tonight, otherwise, both Sirin and I will be used as guinea pigs tomorrow.
First... open the door.
Ling Xi arrived at the door and gently used electromagnetic force to break the combination lock...
"Sirin".
Ling Xi came to Sirin's side and quietly woke her up.
"Waaah..."
Hearing Ling Xi's call, Sirin groggily woke up. "Ling Xi, what's wrong?"
"Shh..."
Ling Xi gestured for Sirin to be quiet, and then said in a low but serious voice, "Sirin, from now on, follow me and don't make a sound, understand?"
"Huh? Okay..."
Although Sirin was completely bewildered and didn't know what Ling Xi was trying to do, she still nodded.
"Let's go."
Ling Xi held Sirin's hand with her left hand and gently pushed open the iron door of the cell...
Sirin: "???"
Sirin was surprised, but she remembered Ling Xi's instructions and remained silent.
They quietly slipped out of the cage with Sirin. According to the plot of the game and the comic, the cage where Sirin was imprisoned should be in a relatively middle position, so if they wanted to escape, they would have to go to the first floor.
Ling Xi chose this time mainly because it is when humans are most tired. Even if there are Schicksal left to work the night shift, they are probably not focused and may even be slacking off and sleeping. So, it is best to slip away as soon as possible.
After all, he's only recovered a tiny bit of Honkai Energy to take down some thugs, but facing hundreds of fully armed Schicksal soldiers, he'd probably be a bit lacking. So...
Ling Xi's idea was simple: either sneak away or find a safe place to hide. As long as she could get through the first few days safely and her strength recovered, she would be completely fearless.
In short, stay calm and don't get reckless!
"Are we... going to run away?"
After hiding behind a wall, Sirin finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Yes, I said I would take you away."
Ling Xi answered softly, and compared to the nervous Sirin, Ling Xi appeared very calm.
"Then... what about the others?"
Sirin looked somewhat worried. "Besides us, there are others... sob..."
Ling Xi covered Sirin's mouth again, then hugged Sirin's shoulders and leaned down.
"Ugh... I'm so sleepy."
Just then, a security guard with a flashlight walked by, yawning and cursing, "Seriously, I'm the one patrolling every night, what the hell? Do you think those test subjects can escape?"
Of course, Ling Xi and Sirin Lin were well hidden, so they were not discovered, and the lights and footsteps quickly disappeared.
"Whoosh..."
Ling Xi then released Sirin's mouth, and Sirin was panting heavily. She had been extremely nervous just now.
"I'm sorry, Sirin, now we have no choice but to escape on our own..."
After releasing Sirin, Ling Xi calmly said, "Besides you, none of the other children will completely trust us, and the more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure. In the end, no one will be able to escape."
Ling Xi just wanted to escape with Sirin right now, since Sirin was the only person she cared about. As for the others, well... she could take them all back after she regained her strength.
"Hmm... um."
Sirin seemed to want to say something, but she didn't speak, because she understood what Ling Xi meant.
"Walk!"
Ling Xi didn't say much, took Sirin's hand again, and carefully made her way downstairs. However, the map she had obtained from the game and comics seemed to be of no use here, because she didn't know which floor it was.
Sirin obediently followed Ling Xi's orders and was led by Ling Xi to continue downstairs.
Chapter 598: Ling Xi went out, Ling Xi chose GG!
Soon, the two arrived at the next floor. Finding no one there, Ling Xi pulled Sirin along as they continued through the hall, preparing to go downstairs...
"Smack..."
Suddenly, the hall lights came on, and several spotlights shone on Ling Xi and Sirin. At the same time, all the lights in the hall were turned on, and for a moment, everything in Ling Xi and Sirin's vision went white, their pupils contracting violently...
"Hehe, look what I found! Two little mice that escaped from their cage..."
When Ling Xi and Sirin's pupils returned to normal, they found a researcher in white clothes, the same person who had taken Ling Xi to conduct the experiment earlier that day. At the same time, four soldiers armed with guns stood around them, surrounding Ling Xi and Sirin.
Ling Xi: "..." This is not what we agreed on.
"Little guy, I advise you to come back with me obediently."
The researcher calmly smiled and said, "Do you really think your little tricks will work? Let me tell you, since this laboratory was established, there has only been one type of experimental subject that can leave: the dead experimental subject. But you are a rare experimental subject. If you die, it will be a loss for us."
Sirin didn't dare to speak, shrinking back and hiding beside Ling Xi. She knew that this time, it was all over...
Ling Xi "..."
A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long? Ling Xi made a decisive decision... to surrender!
Ling Xi helplessly raised her hands and said, "This was my idea alone, it has nothing to do with Sirin."
"Don't worry, no matter what you say, you two can never be locked up together again."
The researcher smiled silently and made a "go" gesture. Immediately, a soldier walked towards the two and took out electronic handcuffs.
"Hmph..."
Just as the opponent approached, purple energy appeared in Ling Xi's eyes: Enhancement, Lightning Enchantment!
Ling Xi couldn't remember the last time she used this move. After all, it was just the most basic enhancement ability. The last time she used it seemed to be when she first met the Doctor, which led to an inextricable bond between them!
Instantly, Ling Xi's right hand crackled with lightning, and then he slammed his fist into the opponent's chest...
"Bang!"
The opponent was sent flying by Ling Xi's punch, crashing to the ground with his life hanging in the balance.
Ling Xi originally planned to sneak away, since she didn't have much Honkai Energy left. However, now that she had been discovered, then... she would go on a killing spree. Fused Warrior, never a slave!
