Time in a collapsing world

"Bella is right over there..."

Aurora pointed at the shackled boy leaning against the wall, with the gray-haired girl beside him.

"Brother, what is he doing...?"

Xilin saw the boy holding a whiteboard and drawing on it with a pen.

"My brother is drawing. He started half an hour ago. The drawing board was provided by the adults outside... It's so strange. When did they become so easy to talk to?" Aurora replied.

"..."

Xilin pursed her lips and slowly walked over to the other side of the boy who was sitting on his knees.

Bella saw her coming and greeted her happily: "Xilin, you are okay, that's great~"

"...Bella, you are the one. You didn't come back the whole day before, and we were all very worried."

There was a golden light flashing in Xilin's eyes. During the time when Bella was not sent back, she really felt a suppressed pain in her heart. There was even a voice in her brain telling her: Rush out and kill all these hateful humans!

However, this feeling soon faded away with Bella's return.

"It was my brother who brought me back, right? Although it's a little blurry, I always felt that I saw my brother last night..."

Bella secretly glanced at the boy next to her, who had no reaction at all and was just concentrating on the whiteboard in his hands.

Seeing that the boy had no intention of responding, Xilin did not say anything either. The secret of her brother being able to enter and leave the cell freely should be known to as few people as possible.

"What is brother drawing?" Xilin changed the subject and leaned her little head over, with her long purple hair flying all over the place.

The boy did not hide anything and generously showed the image in the painting to Xilin.

On the drawing board was a portrait of another young boy. He was handsome and young, and seemed to be about the same age as the brother in front of him.

"Who is this?"

Xilin's eyes stayed on the portrait for a while, a little curious. Unconsciously, she compared the boy with the person in the portrait. Obviously, there was no similarity, but like the boy in front of her, she gave people a warm feeling.

"This is a person in my memory, a friend. Please keep an eye out for him when we go out later." The boy replied. His voice was calm and low, and his hands were constantly adding more details to the boy in the painting. It seemed that this person really occupied a large place in his memory.

It's just that girls nowadays only notice the other side.

"Brother, you said... can we go out?"

Bella's voice unconsciously increased and attracted more girls. They came closer and chattered about what she had just said.

"Everyone, be quiet..."

Aurora glanced at the surveillance camera with some fear, worried that the chaos here would attract the attention of the adults outside.

"Bella, is what you just said true? Can my brother really take us out?" Agatha's loud voice drowned out the voices of others, and scared Galina and Aurora so much that they quickly rushed over to cover her mouth.

"Uh huh...!"

The other girls also seemed to realize something at this time and stopped making any sound out of fear, but it was too late.

Bang!

The door was thrown open suddenly, and several soldiers armed with guns rushed in, followed by the man in the white coat who had appeared before, walking at the end.

"Hey, you guys! What were you talking about just now?!" The man in the white coat had a bad temper, especially after he found out this morning that the female researcher he liked suddenly ignored him, he was so angry that he had no place to vent.

"..."

The girls were all silent, completely ceasing the noise that had just been made.

The man grabbed the hair of the girl closest to him and glared at her fiercely. Seeing that she was trembling and saying nothing, he threw her to the ground, kicked her hard a few times, and asked her the same question again.

Seeing this, Xilin gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but her body was pulled by an inexplicable force and she fell to the ground again.

"With your current strength, you can't do anything."

The boy's voice rang in her mind. Xilin clenched her fists tightly and finally chose to endure.

Five minutes later, the man had finished venting his anger, and the poor girl was lying on the ground like a rag, breathing more in than out.

The rest of the girls said nothing, except Agatha and Celine, who were pinned to the ground by the boy's strength.

"Take him away!"

The man pointed at the young man who was sitting quietly against the wall and ordered several soldiers to pull him up and snatch the drawing board from his hand.

The man took a look and was suddenly stunned because he found that the person on the drawing board seemed somewhat familiar.

I remember now, isn't this the one next to the Bishop...?

Shivering inexplicably, the man stared at the boy who was still calm when he was brought to him. He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to carry him out, leaving the girls at a loss in the room.

"Alvina? Alvina?"

Some people ran over to check on the seriously injured girl, some were worried about the boy who was being taken away by the soldiers, and some blamed each other, but after a while, the room returned to silence again.

"elder brother……"

Bella lowered her head and blamed herself. If she hadn't made the sound to attract the girls, none of this would have happened.

Agata grabbed her fiery red hair tightly, thinking that the adults came over only because they heard her loud voice.

"How is Alvina now?" someone asked.

Aurora shook her head, full of worry. "She keeps vomiting blood. I don't know how to treat her... In the past, my brother always used 'magic' to help us..."

Obviously, without the boy's ability, the girls present could only watch the girl named Alvina's body slowly turn cold. The atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing, and each girl's heart was filled with powerlessness and despair. They sat around Alvina, but could not find any way to alleviate her pain.

When everyone was at a loss, the purple-haired girl who had been sitting in the back with her head down said nothing, but a faint purple light appeared around her.

……

The boy was brought here by soldiers to a single interrogation room in the Babylon Laboratory.

The young man, who was tied up and unable to move, sat across a table from the man in the white coat, with several soldiers waiting behind the latter.

The man threw the drawing board in front of the boy and asked, "Did you draw this person?"

"Well, you know him too?"

The boy looked at him, wondering whether he should find an opportunity to review the memory of the man in front of him.

The man shuddered again for unknown reasons and glanced at the air conditioner remote control on the table. The temperature was clearly set quite high, so why did he still feel cold?
