The bad news is that I've only just started writing this book, and now I have to shut down the thread for a month. This is a huge blow to a novel with a lighthearted and humorous writing style.
Please give me some votes to comfort my heart, Ah Xie! (I'm so sorry!)
Chapter 5 Pain, so much pain!
The Stigmata are acquired later, through genetic engineering and implantation into the human body.
Anyone with a basic understanding of biology knows that these exogenously added substances are mostly expressed implicitly.
The condition for extracting the stripped stigmata is that the owner has already awakened.
So Destiny began to inject Honkai energy into the chosen children—the simplest and most direct way to stimulate awakening.
The process of injecting Honkai energy is an extreme form of torture for the human body.
Of course, the mortality rate was very high.
But who cares? Global collapses happen every day, and the cost of orphans is practically zero.
If it successfully awakens, then it is separated; if it fails to awaken and dies, it is merely a waste of an experimental subject.
To collect a complete set of Stigmata for each Valkyrie, you need to extract the essence from three or more children.
Without buying, there would be no killing. Every time you do a ten-pull, you are helping Destiny persecute innocent children.
Just as Sirin raised the question.
If those Valkyries knew that the stigmata, armor, and weapons they used were based on such cruel experiments, would they still be so passionate as to swear an oath to fight for all that is good in the world?
The newly peeled stigmata are of very low level and have low attributes.
Just like when you first pull a 4-star, level 1 stigmata in a game, the development of stigmata in reality is definitely not as simple as in the game, where you can get crystals and gold coins and achieve great success with a single tap.
This is a long and painful process of nurturing, which requires the injection of a large amount of Honkai energy, placing an enormous burden on the Valkyrie's body...
And so destiny found a way.
Chen Jie thought of the setting in the anime "Made in Abyss," where rising from the abyss would cause enormous damage to the body.
At this time, a great scientist named Li Ming came up with this idea—
They stripped the child's limbs and other non-vital organs, packed them into a briefcase-sized box, and made it into an ammunition pouch, letting the ammunition pouch take the damage for them.
The methods used by Destiny to cultivate Sacred Marks are remarkably similar.
The Stigmata are implanted into children with high Honkai energy resistance, and Honkai energy is continuously injected until their bodies collapse. The enhanced Stigmata are then removed and transferred to the next culture medium.
This way, they can obtain high-level Stigmata without the Valkyries having to bear too much of the upgrade burden. Congratulations!
The trolley problem: which side is right—sacrificing a small number to save the majority? Chen Jie dared not make a judgment on this classic question.
He only knew that sacrifice and dedication were things that required one's own will to decide, and that forcing others to sacrifice was extremely shameless.
All non-spontaneous sacrifices are forms of moral blackmail!
To be honest, both Destiny and Otto are quite absurd. The latter deliberately allowed the Honkai to develop unchecked, keeping Destiny's technology at a level that could suppress the Honkai.
He was willing to do anything to revive Kallen, even at the cost of the lives of all humanity. He ruled for five hundred years without anyone within the Destiny organization ever questioning him.
The official explanation is that because of his excellent disguise and methods, most of the members in the organization who were dissatisfied with Otto were against his disregard for life and did not realize that he did not actually intend to destroy the Honkai.
Perhaps... it's not that these people are unaware of the problem, but rather that they were secretly eliminated by Otto before the truth was discovered?
Chen Jie felt he had discovered the key point.
Over the years, his Honkai energy adaptation has also grown to LV8.
In 1999, at the age of 13
The simulated entity's mental strength has reached the required level. You can choose to enter it in person or continue with the text-based quick simulation. (Note: If you do not choose to enter the fusion experience in person, you will not be able to extract Honkai energy resistance as an ability.)
Upon seeing the note, Chen Jie was stunned.
It caught me off guard.
He had never intended to go in person.
Having infiltrated the Babylonian laboratory for years, no one understands the lives of experimental subjects better than him.
That was a living hell, with experiments involving holy marks, genetic engineering, physical modification, Honkai energy injections, and other methods that were even more terrifying than the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty. They would put you through these kinds of experiments one after another...
At least those who are tortured still have faith in their hearts and know that their persistence is meaningful. It's different when you're an experimental subject; others just treat you as an object.
As long as they don't die, they'll use them to the point of death. For the person involved, it's simply torture, with no hope whatsoever.
Not to mention that this simulation was riddled with diseases and Debff, a gender-swapped, weak, and mentally challenged being... He originally planned to collect the points and then leave.
However, the situation has now reversed.
Honkai can adapt to LV8!
If he could obtain it, it would be of great help, both in his future simulations and in his fight against the Honkai in reality.
At this point, simulating an evacuation via text and only collecting points becomes a huge loss!
Chen Jie hesitated.
This is normal. If anyone saw a pot of boiling oil in front of them, their first thought wouldn't be to jump in.
However, Honkai can adapt, or rather, resistance is a must!
Without this, contact with Honkai energy is like taking an instant-death attack without instant-death resistance; you'll die instantly upon contact.
"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve and will..."
It's just a transformation, it's just cutting up a piece for research, in order to prevent civilization from being destroyed within six months, we can just bear with it.
Chen Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it!"
At worst, I can find a way to commit suicide after I get in, and become a speedrunner of life.
I closed my eyes, and a wave of exhaustion washed over me.
……
The pitch-black tower stands tall on the pure white snowfield.
The Siberian snowfields, the Babylon Laboratory, Schicksal's second largest Honkai energy research facility.
The Advanced Systems Department researches the technology of combining Honkai energy with the human body, and ostensibly disguises itself as a medical institution that treats Honkai energy diseases.
Researching the combination of Honkai energy and the human body naturally requires human bodies as materials.
Wanderers, orphans, and lucky individuals who awaken special abilities have been brought here by fate, deception, or coercion.
In the public eye, this tower is like a giant looking up at the sky with great pride, representing humanity's spirit of fighting against the heavens, constantly striving upwards, and never succumbing to collapse.
But everyone in the know knows that the Tower of Babel, the evil structure leading to the sky, was built with the countless skeletons of experimental subjects.
An unfamiliar ceiling.
The surroundings were somewhat dim, resembling a laboratory from the last century, with large areas of exposed metal and dark coatings visible. Perhaps to prevent collapse, the entire room had no windows, making it like a sealed room.
Time seemed not to have begun to flow; the values on the instruments were locked at a certain moment.
Begin synchronized memory
A flood of memories rushed to Chen Jie, who was lying in his hospital bed!
Over a decade of experiences, physical weakness, the torment of various illnesses, the helplessness when sent to the research institute, the pain of being experimented on...
Compared to mere words and pictures, memories are naturally more real and torturous.
"It hurts, it hurts too much!"
……
I don't know how much readers on the cat website can handle this. I originally wrote over 6,000 words of content that was used in experiments, and after many revisions, only about 2,000 words remained.
Chapter 6 There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.
Chen Jie was quite confident in his own endurance to choose to go in personally.
I remember when he was a child, he had a cavity and for some reason he didn't dare tell his parents, so he took a small pair of iron scissors and chipped half of his tooth.
It's truly a case of swallowing your pride and suffering in silence.
If his parents hadn't noticed something was wrong with his swollen cheeks, he probably would have rubbed off the remaining half of his cheek in a few days.
The truth is, he's very patient, unless he can't take it anymore.
"It hurts, it hurts too much!"
No wonder Sirin is determined to destroy all of humanity.
Chen Jie felt that he was gradually understanding everything.
Injecting Honkai energy is an extreme form of pain that transcends human senses.
It's the kind of experience you never want to go through again. Even being skinned and having your fingernails picked during the apocalypse wasn't this painful.
The original name of this simulation was Oliveira, but after a special experimental group was set up, the researchers called it Number 1.
With the help of the simulator, it was like watching a rather long holographic movie; Chen Jie did not experience any confusion about his self-awareness.
I turned to look at the mirror in the room.
Her long, golden hair was dry due to lack of care, her skin was snow-white from spending so much time in the laboratory, and she had faint dark circles under her eyes from the pain and mental exhaustion she endured.
But none of this diminishes her beauty.
Yes, Chen Jie used the word "beautiful" rather than "cute." One has to admire how quickly Europeans and Americans develop; their maturity is tinged with a touch of youthful naiveté.
There is a kind of beauty that is sickly and demented.
"This guy is thirteen?!"
And he clearly remembers that he chose "normal" for the "charm" stat.
In fact, wealthy people, especially those from families with a long history of wealth, have all had their genes optimized over so many generations, so they are all good-looking.
Those researchers are beasts; they really have the heart to use knives.
At this point, memory synchronization is complete, and time gradually begins to flow.
Having gone through so much pain, it's probably like getting a vaccine.
From now on, there's nothing to be afraid of!
Reality dealt him another harsh blow.
It was a mixture of various pains: the excruciating pain that pierced to the bone, the stinging sensation of iodine on the wound, the soreness after strenuous exercise, and the scratching sensation of barbs embedded in the skin.
These combined feelings of discomfort shattered his heart in an instant.
"(Beautiful Chinese that will be censored if written out)"
His, or rather hers, body convulsed in pain, arching back and struggling, but the leather restraints held her limbs and body tightly to the hospital bed.
The key issue is that, in addition to the pain, it also itches.
There was a noticeable foreign body sensation on the skin, and many needles and various monitoring instruments were inserted into the body.
His body was wrapped in bandages, as if ants were crawling all over him.
More importantly, the itch can't be scratched!
His body was tightly bound.
Chen Jie could only shift his attention and mentally rant about Otto and the researchers.
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.
At this moment, my compassion was triggered.
Only then did Chen Jie understand the specific working principle of this entry. In her mind, a word blocking mechanism even more outrageous than the Hedgehog Cat Novel Website came to mind.
Whenever someone swears, even just in my mind, triggering a censored word immediately triggers my "saintly heart," and I inexplicably start putting myself in their shoes and trying to find excuses for them.
Those researchers were also working to combat the Honkai.
This is a necessary sacrifice.
Otto was also trying to revive Kallen; look how devoted he is!
Of course, we should forgive them!
