I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"white..."

"Well, what?"

"Do you know where I live when I wake up?"

"I know."

"Why is it like that? It doesn't look like a normal living environment at all."

"I didn't say that was where normal people lived."

"...What do you mean?" Kiana suddenly opened her eyes, raised her head slightly and turned her face to the side, trying to see Bai's current expression through the obstruction of the wall, but all she saw was the clothes she placed aside. When she glanced over, she saw half a black number revealed on the white shirt.

"Didn't I tell you about human research? If there are researchers, there must be subjects to be studied."

Kiana's expression froze for a moment, and then she seemed to understand something. She stood up from the bathtub with a "splash", not caring about the water droplets splashing onto the ground. She walked barefoot to where the clothes were placed, and reached out to pick up the white shirt.

On it was reflected a clear but glaring number: 53.

“This number…”

"That's your name here."

Bai's answer shattered Kiana's last bit of fantasy without hesitation. Her hands tightly grasped her clothes, and her face, which had gradually faded from the blush after she walked out of the bathtub naked, turned pale in an instant.

"So, there are at least 52 other children like me who are being studied?"

"What do you think?"

With a bang, the bathroom door opened and Kiana stood there, shouting, "No, I have to go save them! How can such young children be used for research? And... and they definitely didn't come here voluntarily."

Given the way those people took her out of the room, Kiana found it hard to believe that they were good people. She probably wouldn't talk to them in a nice tone when facing other children like her.

"Oh, so how are you going to save them?

This is Tianming's research institute, and it is one that the headquarters pays special attention to. The headquarters is very clear about everything that happens here.

With your current abilities, forget saving them, even leaving here safe and sound would be a blessing for Kaslana's ancestors."

Bai didn't turn around, but sat there with his head supported by one hand and tapping the armrest of the chair with the other hand. Combined with the different lighting in the two rooms, he looked like the evil boss hidden at the end in a TV series.

Hearing Bai's heart-piercing words, Kiana's passion instantly cooled.

Yes, this is Tianming's research institute. Having stayed in Saint Freya for so long, she knows Tianming's abilities very well. Not to mention her current smaller version, even if she was still in the outside world, it would be impossible for her to escape from such a research institute safely.

So...she really can't do anything...

It is inevitable to feel a sense of loss, but it only lasts for a moment.

As a pure Kaslana fool, how could he remain indifferent when facing such a tragic thing happening before his eyes?

The words "can't do something" are not in her dictionary.

Kiana's clever little head turned, and she looked at Bai who had his back to her, as if an idea had come to her.

"I thought you said you would keep me safe here?"

"...That's right, but I'm just an administrator parachuted in from the Mandate Headquarters. I have no problem recruiting a few people, but even someone like me wouldn't be able to handle something like inciting the 'materials' here to rebel."

"Hmm... Are there only a few people..." Kiana looked conflicted. It was obvious that Bai had guessed what she wanted to do but she didn't get the answer she wanted.

"Forget it, never mind, let's do it first, maybe there will be a better way later."

Kiana clenched her fists and encouraged herself. Unable to think of any good solution at the moment, she decided not to think about it anymore.

"Then do your best. I'll tell the people here later and give you permission to move freely around. But before that, I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"

"Go ahead. I'm in a good mood right now. I'll consider any proposal you make."

"My suggestion is that you take a shower and come out so we can have a good chat. I don't want to have to take care of a patient in here."

"Ok?"

Kiana snorted in confusion and looked down. The water drops flowing down from her neck ran across her graceful waist, passed over her knees and fell to her fair and rosy feet, and finally soaked deeply into the carpet on the ground.

The strings moving in her mind seemed to break under the overload. After uttering a strange scream, Kiana rushed back to the bathroom at a speed second only to that of grabbing food, and closed the door with a bang.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You mean I should turn my head and look before I tell you?"

"There's no connection between the two! You already know that without even turning your head!"

Bai selectively ignored the complaints coming from the bathroom. He took a sip of tea and couldn't help sighing.

I didn’t expect Kiana to have developed so well at this age.

Chapter 99 This is good, she is the one

With Bai's nod, the entire institute soon knew that the new master had taken a fancy to a 'material'. No, we can no longer say research material, we should call her that lady.

The young lady was only a little over ten years old, yet she was so favored. Some female researchers were envious but also felt a little contempt for XP. No wonder they had no interest in them. They didn't expect her hobby to be so unique.

However, no matter how much they despise it, they still have to show the right attitude.

Now, everyone in the research institute except Bai will pretend to be happy and say hello to Kiana when they see her, no matter how unhappy they are, to prevent Kiana from going to Bai to complain.

Kiana has been living the life of a real young lady during this period, but it's a pity that she is not very satisfied with it.

'boom! '

Kiana slammed the table solemnly, then angrily walked up to Bai, pulling on her shirt that was so big that it covered her knees.

"It's been three days, three whole days, and I'm still wearing the same clothes. Don't you have anything to say?"

"If you are not satisfied, you don't have to wear it. There are researchers everywhere here. I can find suitable clothes for you." Bai didn't care about Kiana's rudeness at all. Instead, he helped her straighten her collar.

"Don't you have that ability to conjure things out of thin air? Can't you just transform one for me?"

"Of course you can, but how are you going to explain it to everyone else? Say I conjured it up? Then I'll be one of the researchers next day. Do you believe that?"

Bai's expression didn't change at all, he simply told Kiana about the reality of the place.

He believed that as long as he showed something beyond ordinary people, the people below would definitely not mind reporting him to the higher authorities to take his position.

As for why he didn't just block other people's perception of Kiana's senses, he could only say that he had already taken action.

In the eyes of others, Kiana has always been wearing the same clothes as other researchers, and only in his case is she wearing this outfit.

Anyway, he is the only one who can see it here, so why cover it so tightly?

The 'materials' here only have one set of clothes on their bodies. Since they didn't consider how long these 'materials' can last, they naturally save as much as possible.

In other words, apart from the underwear she brought with her, Kiana now only has this loose shirt on her body, and any strenuous exercise will inadvertently reveal some of her beautiful parts.

Although it is not easy to attack Kiana now, he doesn't mind collecting some interest for helping her.

"This..." Kiana was suddenly a little confused.

If she put on other clothes out of thin air, the researchers here would indeed notice something wrong, but wearing this outfit really made her feel uncomfortable when moving around.

After weighing the two options, Kiana finally gritted her teeth and slumped down on the sofa.

Forget it, let’s just stick with this outfit. At least it’s better than being discovered by them.

She had toured almost every corner of the place over the past few days and discovered that it was indeed as Bai said, and that this place could be regarded as a real world.

After all, she had never seen the person in her dream so smart, and she really couldn't understand what those researchers were studying.

"Could it be that the story you brought me to see is what these researchers are studying? That story isn't interesting at all."

"Kiana, your academic performance in St. Freya's shouldn't be very high, right?"

"how do you know?"

"I told you the time and place right from the start, and you couldn't guess which story we were in?"

"Did he say that?" Kiana asked with a puzzled look.

"...Okay, it's my problem. I overestimated your brain." Bai sighed helplessly.

He had thought that Kiana simply didn't know about the things of this era, but he never expected that Kiana had actually forgotten what he said.

"I'll say this one last time, don't ask me even if you forget again.

The year is 2000, the location is Siberia, and you're able to see your mother. Think about what you learned in your cultural studies class. What's the story here?

"Mom! Is this the second collapse?!" Kiana sat up straight in an instant.

It seems that it’s because I entered the keywords incorrectly, Bai sighed in his heart and nodded.

"Yes, this is the story of the Second Honkai Impact, and it starts from the beginning. You can see the birth of the Herrscher of the Sky, the Valkyrie of Destiny and her battle, the reason why your mother Cecilia died, and... your birth."

"My...birth? But didn't my mother go to the Second Honkai Battlefield after giving birth to me? Could it be that she brought my childhood here with her?"

"You'll know then."

Since Kiana is already planning to get involved here, there's no point in saying too much now.

Once a butterfly flaps its wings, the final outcome of the matter can no longer be confirmed.

Ignoring Kiana's questions and asking her to stay here for the time being, Bai left the office.

I've been idle for so long, it's time to find something to do.

......

Inside the iron box marked with 52, the purple-haired girl was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

It has been three days since No. 53 next door was taken away, and there has been no other news so far. It just so happens that they have been particularly safe these days. She already knew what kind of place this was, and she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

For No. 53, and even more for her future.

Perhaps one day in the future, she will be taken away like No. 53 and never come back.

Being dragged to a place called a laboratory and injected with strange liquids? Lying on a clean bed while a group of people watched, waiting for them to point fingers at you? Finally, being squeezed dry of every last bit of value and thrown into an unknown garbage dump?

Oh, such a future is really not something I can look forward to at all.

The corners of her mouth gave herself a silent mocking smile, she reached out to remove the pillow covering her head, and sat up with an expressionless face.

If you can’t sleep, find something else to do, like chatting with No. 51 next door.

The girl raised her hand and was about to knock on the wall next to her when she suddenly heard a noisy sound outside.

"Sir, what do you think of this one? This one is younger."

"No, it's too small."

"What about this one? This one is a year older than that one, and also prettier."

"No, it's too different from No. 53."

"Sir, it's really hard to find something like No. 53. You're well aware that these 'materials' were obtained randomly, without any consideration for their appearance!"

"That's not what I care about. I just want the result."

"Yes, sir, then look at this..."

As he was speaking, the door of the girl's room was opened. The girl raised her head in confusion, met the smiling face of the black-haired man, and heard the words that made her feel grateful for the rest of her life.

"This one is good. She's the one."

written request for leave

Something happened, so I need to take a day off. I will make up for it later.

Chapter 100: The Well-informed Xilin

"It's not fair, it's not fair, this is not fair! Why does she get to wear clothes but I have to wear this?!"

"She's not going out, are you going out too?"

"So there's not a single piece of clothing I can wear in such a big place?"

"You can find it yourself. As long as you can find what you want to wear, it's fine."

"Why would I look for you if I could find you?"

"That's it."

The daily quarrel ended with Kiana running off to watch TV in frustration.
