Time in a collapsing world

Bella is not dead, which is indeed good news.

The boy tilted his head, no wonder he didn't find the girl here.

"It's really enviable that there is such a relationship between these experimental subjects... Haha, I was kidding you. Will you follow us obediently next, or will you let us make a few holes in your body like before?"

As the woman spoke, the guards following her slowly approached, looking like they were ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

"I have a third option."

The boy stared at the woman's face, as if he didn't notice the approaching guards and the black muzzle of the gun.

"Oh? What is it?" the woman asked with interest.

"I'll kill you." the boy replied.

“Hahahaha… You think you can dodge five guns in such a small room? Please, even though you’re a monster, don’t underestimate us! Shoot!”

The woman gave the order, but the guard who was close to the boy not only did not launch an attack, but turned around and pointed his gun at the woman standing at the door.

"What……?!"

The woman's eyes widened, and she no longer had the leisure and confidence she had before. "You want to betray me? Betray destiny?"

The woman took a step back, only to be responded by a bullet hitting her feet.

"If you move again, the next bullet will hit your heart... If it's a human, this bullet should kill you instantly, right?" These words were said by the young man, while the guards standing in front of him said nothing, like robots who only knew how to complete their tasks.

"What's going on... Why would they help a test subject like you who has nothing? This is too stupid!" The woman still couldn't believe that the situation would turn out like this. Did these guards take the wrong medicine? Betraying fate to help a test subject... If they were discovered by the higher-ups, they would definitely die!

"They won't answer you."

The young man took off the helmet of the guard closest to him, revealing a pale face. He looked up at the woman with cold eyes, "After all, the dead can't speak."

"...!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a bullet pierced the woman's heart. But before blood could ooze out of her body, a certain force took control of her body first, as if countless fine threads had entangled the woman's limbs, turning her into a new puppet.

After doing all this, the boy waved his hand and asked the controlled woman to come closer and lower her head.

"I need to know someone's information..."

The young man said to the woman expressionlessly, but it was obvious that the other party could not answer him. The former continued to talk to herself: "The person I controlled before has no [memory] of that person in his head. You have higher authority and status. I hope you can bring me some surprises..."

The boy's hand went straight into the woman's head, leaving no hole and no blood spurting out, just like he was just putting his hand into the water.

Bella's location...the headquarters of Destiny...the bishop...and...him...this female researcher did have a few encounters with that person.

Scenes flashed before the boy's eyes, and soon he found his target - a white-haired boy wearing special cold-proof clothing and holding a paper report in his hand. Just looking at his expression, it was obvious that he would not be frozen by the low temperature even without the clothes on his body.

"Is he the assistant of the Bishop of Destiny? He may be in some trouble..." The young man pulled his hand out from the woman's head without leaving any trace. It was difficult to tell what he was thinking from his expression, nor could one tell whether he was happy, angry, sad or joyful.

"...Let's go out first."

The boy ignored the "zombies" and walked out of the room where the corpses were stored. Following the woman's [memory] instructions, he found Bella's location.

In the room numbered B-11, a girl with long gray hair was lying on the experimental table in the middle with her eyes closed, unconscious.

When the boy walked in, he also met several researchers and guards, but he controlled them before they could say anything.

"Cough cough..."

Standing next to a group of "zombies", the boy coughed weakly a few times and looked at the purple blood coming out of his palm.

The energy called Honkai energy has been used too much and needs to be replenished.

The boy picked up Bella from the experimental table and took her out of the room, even out of the Babylon Laboratory, to the top of the tower.

The biting wind and snow seemed to have no effect on him and the girl in his arms. The boy looked into the distance, paused for a moment, and then turned back to the laboratory.

Wait, I'll come find you.

……

The Babylon Laboratory is equipped with a 6500HW Honkai reactor, the third largest in the world. The entire laboratory is 152 meters high and consists of 50 floors. The bottom 20 floors are energy areas where reactors are placed, and the other 30 floors are divided into three research departments.

And at two o'clock in the morning tonight, a figure appeared in the energy area where the reactor was placed.

"Rich Honkai energy..."

The black-haired boy stretched out his hand and touched the edge of the reactor. A large amount of Honkai energy instantly passed through his arm and entered his body, but he quickly withdrew his hand.

Not too many... If you don't want everyone around you to die...

The boy returned to the room where he was originally imprisoned and walked in slowly.

Bella had already been brought back by the puppet he controlled, and was walking around openly under surveillance, so there was no need to worry that someone would see Bella's existence tomorrow and raise questions.

But when the boy had just placed Bella gently next to the girls and was about to put the shackles back on his body, a voice rang out: "Where did you go just now?"

"..."

Turning around, I saw that the girl with long purple hair had opened her eyes at some point, and her golden eyes were looking at me quietly.

"Bring Bella back." The boy replied.

"You were able to go out normally... but you came back again... and you had to put on those things again... Are you really an experimental subject like us? Or... are you in league with those hateful humans out there? To gain our trust and do some so-called experiments that we don't know about?" Xilin had doubts in her heart and wanted to get an answer. But looking at Bella who was sent back, her eyes softened a lot.

"It's easy for me to get out. I just need to kill a few people." said the boy.

"...Then why do you still want to stay here?" Xilin gently took away Aurora's hand that was on her, walked to the boy, and asked him with her head tilted up, "If you are not in the same group as them, what else can you gain by staying here except suffering more?"

"…I'm worried about you."
