Chapter 118

They certainly wouldn't have the appetite for regular meals; all they'd think about is cake and cookies.

"Kiana, you can't eat too many snacks. Although snacks are delicious, they lack nutrition. What the children need now is nutrition."

"Hmm... you're right."

K422 calmed down, hugged Little Seele twice, then took a big chicken leg from the table and stuffed it into Little Seele's mouth.

Looking at little Little Seele with her mouth stuffed full, K422, feeling satisfied, said, "I will allocate a batch of ingredients to Cocolia Orphanage."

To be honest, Cocolia Orphanage is too far from town.

This also means that the children from Cocolia Orphanage have to live at the school when they go to study in the city, otherwise the round trip alone would leave them no time to eat, bathe, or sleep.

"... Thank you for your help, Kiana."

Cocolia Orphanage is too poor.

However, Cocolia never touched the funds provided by World Serpent and Anti-Entropy.

As long as the funds provided by World Serpent and Anti-Entropy are not misappropriated, even if they betray the organization, they will not be able to trace the Cocolia Orphanage through the channels used to use the funds.

"Don't be shy, I won't treat my own people unfairly."

"Yes..."

Cocolia quickly replied.

After K422 fed Little Seele, Little Xing, the A-Lynn Sisters, and the other children in the orphanage a few times, they became more affectionate towards her.

At this moment, Siegfried was like a rooster in heat, pacing back and forth in front of K422 from time to time, and occasionally striking poses that he couldn't understand but felt were very impressive to the children, including Little Seele.

They couldn't understand why the man was holding his lower back as if he had a herniated disc, and then forcefully sticking out his buttocks.

"..."

K422's eye twitched slightly.

He suppressed the urge to fight Siegfried.

Of course, Siegfried's pose was probably something he stumbled upon by accident.

Unfortunately, Little Seele and the others couldn't understand the romance of that kind of seemingly impressive but incomprehensible posture, but K422 wouldn't mind preaching it to them.

To be honest, all the knowledge she had in her past life was this kind of thing, so she had no idea what kind of person she was in her past life.

Anyway, she didn't have a deep attachment to her past life.

After dinner, K422 naturally took a bath with Little Seele and the others. After all, the Cocolia Orphanage was too poor, and the hot water for bathing was shared by the whole family.

Cocolia naturally washed along with them, mainly to make sure the children were clean.

When Cocolia appeared in the bathroom, K422 heard Little Xing praying with her hands clasped together, "Please let me be the same age as my mother, please let me be the same age as my mother, please let me be the same age as my mother. Even if we can't be the same age, I'll be content with half of her."

"???"

Is a six or seven-year-old girl really that concerned about this kind of thing?

"Why did Kiana let this older sister help her wash her hair?"

"Well..." K422 hesitated, unsure how to answer Little Seele's question.

At this moment, Liv was washing her hair from behind, her expression very serious, as if washing her hair was the meaning of her life.

"How should I put it? Because I am a very great person."

"But wouldn't a great person wash their own hair?" Little Seele blinked and asked curiously.

K422 nodded and said, "Great people don't need to wash their own hair; someone else can wash it for them. If Little Seele becomes a great person, maybe... someone else can also wash her hair for her."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Little Seele's values were clearly shaken by K422's fallacies and heresies.

He couldn't even hold onto the towel in his hand.

The towel that Little Seele used to cover herself had just fallen to the ground when K422's gaze became fixed on the strange mark on Little Seele's chest.

"Kiana, let me scrub your back."

Cocolia was trying to please K422, but as soon as she got close, she noticed the mark on Little Seele's chest.

"This is..."

"It's Stigmata, Little Seele. Let your Kiana help you wash your hair."

"Really? You don't need to make Little Seele a great person?" Little Seele exclaimed in surprise.

Does not having to wash your own hair make you a great person?

K422 patted Little Seele's head and smiled, "Little Seele is already a great person. Let's play a game with Sister Kiana later. Now let Sister Kiana wash your hair."

127. He seems a little... a little handsome.

K422's suggestion of playing games was actually about giving Little Seele a medical check-up.

With Cocolia's help, an examination was conducted in the laboratory underground at the orphanage.

After the check, she naturally gave Little Seele a handful of very sweet candies.

"Sister Kiana, Little Seele wants to play the doctor game again next time."

"You can only play with Kiana and your mom. Remember to eat candy in the morning, but not at night. Go to bed early after brushing your teeth."

"Mmm." Little Seele nodded vigorously, happily hugging the candy as she went back to her room.

Seeing that Little Seele had walked away, Cocolia said in a deep voice, "Kiana, were the results of the examination just now helpful to your research?"

"Cocolia, I'm not a researcher. Whether it's using drugs to increase Honkai Energy resistance or activating Stigmata, it's all just hypothetical... But, what Little Seele has is indeed Stigmata, one in ten thousand among Valkyrie. If she wants to become Valkyrie, she can definitely become S-rank Valkyrie ... Cocolia, would you mind Little Seele went to Schicksal Headquarters to study?"

"As for Stigmata, I don't lack test subjects, but the existence of Little Seele proves that a large amount of Honkai Energy indeed activate Stigmata... Although some people may indeed be born with Stigmata, such people are too rare."

K422 grinned mischievously at Cocolia and said, "Sorry, what I really want to find is not Little Seele's Stigmata, but Little Seele's background. Thank you for the information you provided."

Although it was just a temporary check-up, Cocolia provided detailed information about Little Seele's background on paper in order to develop the drug described by K422 as soon as possible.

For K422, this is the most important information.

Valkyrie with Stigmata can also be found within the Schicksal.

However, most of them were manifested and activated after the Valkyrie modification surgery, which obviously relied on the large amount of Honkai Energy injected during the Valkyrie modification surgery, rather than being manifested naturally.

The members of the secret force were all survivors secretly collected by Otto from the Siberian Plains. Many of them possessed the Stigmata, but they were not born with it.

Little Seele's existence is only to verify whether her conjecture is correct.

As it turns out, her conjecture was flawed. Little Seele was born in the Republic of Estonia, which borders Republic of Estonia to the east and is within the area affected by the Second Eruption War.

Although Little Seele only remembers that the mark on her chest has been there since she can remember.

However, she does not yet know whether it is an extremely rare innate Stigmata or whether it was activated after being bathed in a large amount of Honkai Energy.

K422 desperately hopes that Little Seele's Stigmata are innate.

That would prove that Stigmata do not necessarily require a large amount of Honkai Energy to activate.

Perhaps there will be a more perfect and safer way to activate it than she can imagine, and the innate Stigmata must also have some kind of awakening method.

K422 is very fortunate to have met Little Seele.

Even without finding crucial evidence, it's highly likely that Little Seele's Stigmata didn't awaken because of the Second Eruption War.

It can be said that the existence of Little Seele makes K422 more hesitant when artificially activating Stigmata in the future.

If she believes that only by injecting a large amount of Honkai Energy the Stigmata be activated, and uses this to experiment on Valkyrie, while simultaneously using the Power of White Flower to heal them, leaving the experimental Valkyrie in a state worse than death, then she is no different from the inhuman Otto.

"Kiana?" Cocolia was unaware of this.

"There is help, of course. At least it gave me a direction. Even the Schicksal doesn't have much information about Stigmata. Cocolia, you are also connected to that World Serpent. See if their organization has any information about Stigmata."

At this point, K422 assigns Cocolia the role of a multi-faceted spy.

At the same time, she was also considering the possibility of activating the Stigmata with the Power of White Flower.

After all, the common characteristic of the Valkyrie with Stigmata in the secret unit is that they have all suffered from the Honkai Energy radiation erosion caused by the rampage and spread of the Second Herrscher Core, and were later healed by her mother Cecilia with the Power of White Flower.

A large amount of Honkai Energy is not necessarily the only condition.

Healing with the Power of White Flower may also be one of the conditions for activating the Stigmata.

Unfortunately, there were too few clues.

Little Seele was born with Stigmata, but there is a lack of conclusive evidence.

Even if K422 was willing to believe Little Seele's words, a little girl who was only six or seven years old could not be guaranteed by her ambiguous memories.

"However, the Valkyrie of the secret forces are suitable for this experiment..." K422 muttered softly.

K422 wanted to try using the Power of White Flower to provoke the Valkyrie of the secret unit who had no Stigmata.

Although many of the children adopted by the Cocolia Orphanage were survivors of the Second Eruption War, K422 did not intend to experiment on them.

Of course, she also reminded Cocolia, "By the way, Cocolia, you need to keep a close eye on Little Seele. We may not be the only ones who know that she has Stigmata. When you adopted her, she fled from her original country to Russia. It is clear that many organizations are eyeing the Stigmata on her. I personally recommend that she go to the Schicksal Headquarters."

"Yes, Kiana, I will definitely pay attention."

Cocolia's gaze turned icy instantly, ready to tear apart all the hostile forces that threatened Little Seele.

To be honest, even K422 felt a sense of dread.

"As for what Kiana said, I will let Little Seele consider it herself."

Cocolia's gaze suddenly softened, as if she were a gentle mother when talking about her children.

At night, K422 naturally cuddled his little maid Liv, to sleep.

Because he left the Schicksal Headquarters, K422 was unable to dream of the two little ones True Kiana and K423.

K422 opened her eyes halfway through her sleep and saw the unease on the little maid's face.

"What's wrong, Sister Liv?"

"Kiana, aren't you angry with me?"

In response to the maid's question, K422 smiled slightly and reached out to touch the shotgun strapped to the maid's thigh.

"I had a premonition that you were a spy sent by Otto, and in fact, it makes perfect sense."

K422 couldn't help but hug the little maid's slender waist tightly.

"Especially when Sister Liv mentioned the existence of Combat Maid, some girls who were not adaptable were selected by the maid unit, and the maid courses included espionage and infiltration, which seemed to be things that only assassination squads would learn. The Schicksal has a cleanup squad, and the maid unit is obviously a subordinate unit of the cleanup squad."

Otto's secret forces were above the cleanup crews.

Of course, from the maid squad to the main squad of the cleaning crew, as well as the secret squad, all are considered cleaning crews by Otto.

Whether they are maids, cleaners, or secret troops, they are all tools Otto uses to kill those he doesn't like.

"So, I forgive you; it's your duty."

"Kiana, I absolutely did not mean to betray you..."

The little maid shouted nervously.

"I know you just reported my whereabouts and actions to Otto. I have never blamed you. At most, I'll just write a few more notes in my little notebook for this."

K422 suddenly felt very annoyed as he spoke.

Although she had already written down the matter of the little maid several times in her little notebook, she now wanted to write it down 10 more times.

"Kiana..."

The little maid was so moved that she almost threw herself into his arms.

Of course, in terms of form, it was she, the little girl, who was carried into someone's arms.

My face was suddenly buried between the soft cushions, and I almost felt short of breath.

"Liv, stop it... It's making me uncomfortable when you hug me like this, even though I really welcome Liv's soft breasts."

"I'm sorry, Kiana."

"Just continue to serve me as always. If Otto asks you to report, then just report. Of course, if possible, I would prefer that you remind me before you report."

"Yes, Kiana."
