I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Hearing Einstein's words, Theresa looked at him with a puzzled expression. Patrick had clearly disappeared near the Honkai reactor, so why was he investigating something near the Honkai reactor? Patrick hadn't been to those places before.

Einstein's next words left Theresa and Siegfried looking puzzled.

"Do either of you know that there is a prison for imprisoning experimental subjects in the area below the Honkai energy reactor?"

Hearing Einstein's words, Theresa also showed a surprised expression. Clearly, Theresa was somewhat taken aback by Einstein's words, since neither Theresa nor Patrick had discovered that area. Siegfried, standing nearby, looked at Theresa curiously and asked:

"Uh... Theresa, do you know if this Babylonian laboratory has that prison?"

Upon hearing Siegfried's question, Theresa shook her head, indicating that she had no idea that the Babylon Laboratory existed. She hadn't seen any prison or anything like that for holding experimental subjects beneath the Honkai reactor on the surveillance cameras.

Well... it can't be entirely Theresa's fault. In the previous investigation, after Theresa and Patrick finished investigating the Honkai energy reactor in the Babylon Laboratory, Patrick asked Theresa to investigate the upper level of the Babylon Laboratory, while Patrick investigated the lower level of the Babylon Laboratory himself.

This also led to Theresa being completely unaware that there was a facility like an experimental prison beneath the Honkai energy reactor.

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

In the following time, Einstein took Theresa and Siegfried to the experimental prison in the lower level of the Babylon Laboratory reactor.

Theresa and Siegfried, who came down from the elevator, were quite surprised to see such a large prison on the lower level of the Honkai energy reactor in the Babylon Laboratory. Siegfried and Theresa also knew from the facilities inside the experimental prison that the experimental subjects imprisoned in this facility were not small animals such as white mice, but humans!

After all, no research institute has a detention room for experimental subjects that includes hammocks, toilets, and sinks for human use.

Theresa looked around at the prison used to hold experimental subjects with an incredulous expression. On the way down the elevator, Theresa still didn't believe Einstein's claim that there was a prison for human experimental subjects in the lower levels of the Babylon Laboratory. But now, even if Theresa didn't believe it, there was nothing she could do, since the facts were right in front of her.

Siegfried looked on in disbelief as he saw the prisons; he hadn't imagined that the Schicksal headquarters where he worked had such a dark side...

Soon, Einstein, who was standing nearby, asked Theresa and Siegfried to step aside and not disturb her investigation. After conducting the investigation for about a few minutes, Einstein told Theresa and the others her report.

“After examining some footprints on the floor, I found two different types of footprints.”

Einstein, who discovered the differences in footprints using a special method, held up two fingers and said:

"One is a child's footprint, and the other is an adult's footprint."

Einstein then went on to explain the differences between the footprints: most of the children's footprints were barefoot, with only a small portion showing children wearing boots, while the adults' footprints were all made of boots and were all of the same type of shoe, which happened to be the shoe prints from the Babylonian laboratory. These shoe prints were undoubtedly left by researchers in the Babylonian laboratory.

As for the children's boot footprints... well, Einstein probably knew whose footprints they were, but he didn't say anything about it, even though they were now cooperating with Theresa and the others.

"Then the children's footprints all gathered in one place and then disappeared."

Upon hearing Einstein's words, Theresa looked at her with surprise and asked:

"Just vanished like that?!"

Einstein nodded at Theresa's surprised reaction and said:

"Yes, they just disappeared like that. It seems they left through some kind of portal..."

"A portal?! But isn't that something from novels or games?"

Siegfried looked at Einstein with a surprised expression and said this, to which Einstein nodded and replied:

"Yes, although it would be difficult to invent such a device with current technology, a Herrscher could."

Upon hearing the word "Herrscher," Theresa and Siegfried instinctively glanced at Welt standing to the side. In response to their gazes, Welt simply adjusted his glasses and said:

"Hmm, I can sense that the space here is a bit unstable. I also sensed that the space was torn apart near the Honkai energy reactor. It's obvious that the experimental subjects here were all taken away by the Second Herrscher. Similarly, the Second Herrscher also used the ability to tear space to leave this place."

Upon hearing Walter's words, Siegfried gave a look that said, "This is a very bad situation."

"If they really escaped using spatial teleportation as you say, then this is a huge problem..."

Chapter 359 [The Oath of Judah - Hunting Mode]

Due to the Siberian blizzard, the Babylon Laboratory's detectors were extremely insensitive, and the anti-entropy detectors were also unable to conduct large-scale detection work due to the blizzard.

Then, while everyone looked on with a headache, Einstein spoke up:

"Right now, there's only one backup plan..."

As he spoke, Einstein pulled a test tube containing a purple liquid from his clothes and said to Theresa:

“Miss Theresa, please borrow your oath of Judah.”

"Eh??"

Upon hearing Einstein's words, Theresa showed a surprised expression, clearly puzzled that Einstein wanted to borrow her Judas. However, Theresa still took her Judas Oath.

"Hey!"

Boom!

As Theresa took out the heavy Oath of Judah from her hand, she stroked it and said to Einstein:

"I've brought Judah over, but... Judah's detection range is only 100 meters at most. It's impossible to find that Second Herrscher with that, right?"

In response to Theresa's question, Einstein explained to her:

“Miss Theresa, you are not entirely correct. We have found some information about the oath of Judah in the ancient ruins we have excavated.”

"The Oath of Judah and Mr. Siegfried's Judgment of the Gods are both weapons made by ancient civilizations—the Keys of God."

Then Einstein removed the cork from his test tube, and while explaining to Theresa, poured the purple liquid from the test tube onto the Oath of Judah, saying:

"Besides using the Oath of Judah as a weapon, Judah has other uses. Now, Miss Theresa, I have injected the Honkai energy left behind by the Second Herrscher into Judah. ​​Now, please activate Judah's Hunting Mode to find your target."

Upon hearing Einstein's words, Theresa looked at him with a puzzled and conflicted expression and said:

"Um... I've never heard of Judas having this ability before... and I don't know how to use it either..."

In response to Theresa's question, Einstein looked at Theresa with a somewhat disappointed expression, then grabbed her small hand and placed it on top of Judas, saying:

"The Soul Steel that makes up the Key of God can sense the user's thoughts, so Miss Theresa, you just need to touch Judas and think about the enemy you are tracking in your mind."

"Eh eh eh?!"

Theresa, who was pulled in front of Judah, also looked flustered. However, Theresa quickly calmed down and thought about "tracking" in her mind. Soon, accompanied by a flash of light, the Oath of Judah shrank to about the size of Theresa's palm and wrapped around the back of her hand.

Theresa looked at the shrunken "Oath of Judah" on the back of her hand with a surprised expression and said:

"My Judas?! How did he become so small?!"

In response to Theresa's question, Einstein, who was standing nearby, looked at Theresa and explained:

"Because Soul Steel is composed of nano-metals, Judah's Hunting Mode transforms all the Soul Steel within Judah into chains used in the Hunting Mode. Under Judah's extreme conditions, Judah can track targets within a radius of 200 kilometers."

Hearing Einstein's words, Theresa nodded as if she understood, though not quite. Suddenly, the chains surrounding Theresa straightened. Seeing Judas's chains become straight, Einstein said to Theresa:

"Hmm...it seems Judas has found his target. Miss Theresa, please set off immediately. We need you to lead the way."

"Ok!"

Theresa nodded in understanding upon hearing Einstein's words, while Walter, standing nearby, looked slightly puzzled, adjusted his glasses, and whispered:

"That Otto guy... didn't even tell them the correct way to use the Divine Keys...?"

Just then, Salome's voice rang on Siegfried and Theresa's communicator, saying:

[Lord Siegfried! A new wave of Honkai Beasts has just been detected near the Babylon Laboratory! There are nearly 500 of them this time!]

Upon hearing Salome's words, Siegfried quickly shouted:

"Hang in there! I'm coming to help you right away!"

Just as Siegfried was about to help Salome and the others, Walter grabbed Siegfried's shoulder and said to him:

"Wait, the Honkai Beasts are just there to delay us. We can't fall for their trap."

Then Walter looked at Einstein and said:

"Dr. Einstein, please stay and guard the Babylon Laboratory."

Then Walter said to Siegfried and the others:

"And Siegfried and Theresa, please come with me to track down the Second Herrscher."

Hearing Welt's words, Siegfried hesitated for a moment, but quickly understood. Sending Salome and the others to deal with an enemy capable of tearing space was indeed too dangerous. Siegfried sighed, nodded to indicate he understood, and then said to Welt:

"alright, I got it."

Siegfried turned to look at Einstein and said:

"Dr. Einstein, I'll leave Salome and Shub in your care."

Einstein nodded and said to Siegfried:

"Don't worry, Mr. Siegfried. Although I am just a scientist, it doesn't mean I have no combat ability. You can rest assured to follow the leader to track down the Second Herrscher."

After receiving Einstein's assurance, Siegfried nodded to indicate that he understood, and then took Walter and Theresa to find transportation. Einstein, meanwhile, took out something that looked like a handheld game console and said:

"Okay, looks like I'll have to take care of things here. Hmm? A message from Tesla?"

Einstein was surprised to see the message from Tesla that she had encountered a group of Honkai Beasts and was currently fighting them. After all, Tesla was 30 kilometers away from the Babylon Laboratory. Why would she encounter Honkai Beasts there?

This puzzled Einstein greatly, since no one else should know Tesla's location except for them, so why would Tesla encounter Honkai Beasts?

"Could it be that Siberia is now overrun with Honkai Beasts?"

Just as Einstein was wondering if Siberia was teeming with Honkai Beasts, another piece of news caught his attention.

[I just ran into Youyou and the others! I think I just saw Xilin and Jilin appear in front of me through some kind of teleportation phenomenon! [Video]]

Upon seeing this news, Einstein fell into deep thought.

Chapter 360 [Judas: I'll entwine myself with you!]

A dozen minutes earlier, in the Imaginary Space, Lorraine and Bronya were watching Einstein and his team begin searching for the Second Herrscher in the Babylon Laboratory. Bronya then looked at Lorraine and asked:

"Linlin, the Honkai energy you released was Sirin's, right?"

Luo Linlin nodded and said:

"Uh, yeah, what's wrong?"

Bronya looked at Lorraine curiously and asked:

"Speaking of which, since we're using that 'Sirin's' Honkai energy, is Theresa and the others looking for 'Sirin' or Sirin herself?"

Hearing Bronya's words, Lorraine looked at Bronya with a puzzled expression and said:

"Huh? You didn't know? You've never used Valkyrie Judah?"

Bronya shook her head and said:

"Unfortunately, I rarely use the Oath of Judah, but..."

Bronya looked at Lorraine with a strange expression and said:
