"Bang!"
Kiana once again opened the coffin in her dream. No, she kicked the coffin, sending it flying.
"Same pattern, same size, same coffin and door. Great, it's the same dream!" Kiana clapped her hands excitedly.
Then her lively expression disappeared. She took a deep breath and walked out the door resolutely.
No matter what, today she must figure out what these indescribable and infuriating things are, Kiana swore.
Outside the door was the same experimental base as last night. Kiana, familiar with the path, rushed toward the prison without saying a word.
"01, hurry up, it's your turn today, follow me!"
"No... I don't want to..."
"Pow!"
"Do you think you have a choice? Hurry up, don't waste our time, go!"
Unexpectedly, there was no long wait today. As soon as Kiana arrived outside the prison, she witnessed the scene of the little girl being taken away roughly. The red cheeks and the young eyes full of fear and resentment made Kiana clench her fists in anger.
It was a pity she was just a bystander and could do nothing. Kiana took a deep breath again and forced herself to calm down.
'Is this cage the trigger point of the scene?' Kiana couldn't help but guess and noted this discovery.
"Confirm once more, have all the current parameters been set?"
"Everything is ready!"
"Come, let's see if the current and the state of extreme pain can stimulate stronger energy!"
The calm and indifferent conversation between the experimenters sounded like the whisper of a devil in Kiana's ears, exuding a chilling darkness and malice.
"Ah!!!"
Then came the extremely painful scream of the little girl. After the fierce struggle, there was another unbearable ending. The little girl was like a tattered rag, lying motionless on the operating table. If it weren't for the weak breathing in her chest, she would probably be no different from a dead person—or in other words, death might be a better ending for her.
"Damn it!" Kiana gritted her teeth and scanned the faces of the experimenters one by one. She had to remember these faces so that she could confront them in the future, smashing them with all her strength.
The next second, the little girl, who was limp and motionless, returned to her original trembling appearance of being bound as if time had gone backward.
"This... is not right. The experimental equipment is not the same as before." Kiana touched her eyes and realized in a trance that it was not time going backward, but the scene jumping to the time of the next experiment.
"AD0013 potion injected, Honkai energy input device ready, experiment begins!"
Different experimental equipment, the same desperate screams, the same lifeless and terrible ending. Then the scene turned again. Kiana saw various medicines and liquids being injected, saw different equipment hurting the little girl's body and mind, and saw the indifference and malice of the experimenters from beginning to end, even sarcasm.
"Why do you want to do this?" Kiana couldn't help but squeeze her arms tightly, unable to control herself, and took two steps back trembling.
This terrible scene revealed the darkness of human nature that Kiana didn't want to think about before, making her feel suffocated. Then, Kiana heard the exact same question from the little girl.
"Why... do this..."
"Of course, it's to study the mechanism of Honkai energy and develop stronger stigmata for the Valkyrie of Schicksal! This is a necessary sacrifice to defeat Honkai, just accept your fate!"
"Schicksal... Valkyrie... for this kind of thing..." The little girl tied to the operating table like a puppet murmured. Her childish voice revealed a faint chill, like mockery, like sadness.
And Kiana looked up suddenly. Vaguely, Kiana felt some changes. Sadness, fear, despair—the emotions lingering on the unfortunate little girl seemed to have unconsciously transformed into something else in the constantly jumping time—like a ball of fire, a raging fire that would devour everything.
Kiana subconsciously walked to the operating table. "Wait, don't give up, I will find you and save you!"
"Find me? It's too late."
"Even if... you can hear me?" Kiana's hair stood on end, and her anxious mood was replaced by a sense of horror. Then there was a strong surprise.
"Tell me where this is, I'll save you now!"
"Why save?" The little girl tilted her head, and flames ignited on her long purple hair. Then, the whole laboratory was ablaze. The flames engulfed everything, and the scorching heat forced Kiana to retreat.
"What happened?"
"Are you here to laugh at me, K423?" The mixed voices of a little girl and a young girl came from the fiercely burning operating table.
Kiana raised her hand to block the strong flames. Through the gaps between her fingers, she saw the outline of the little girl in the flames, gradually growing into a familiar graceful figure.
Then, the aloof queen with silver hair and golden eyes stepped out of the sparks, pinched Kiana's neck, and lifted her up high.
"Hmph! Finally found you, the wild monkey running around here!"
"Ahem! Who are you?"
"Is it fun to deceive yourself? You haven't really forgotten everything, have you? Fake doll, K423!" The Herrscher of the Void, whose delicate face was exactly the same as Kiana's, had a hint of mockery in her golden eyes.
"Crack!"
She broke Kiana's neck.
The progress was a bit too fast—Angel turned around and walked out of the sea of fire, thinking and planning to adjust the subsequent layout.
Then, the foot wearing the metal high heel suddenly struck the ground.
Angel looked back in surprise and saw that Kiana's body who fell into the flames and did not disappear from the dream as expected but absorbed the flames and stood up again.
Kiana walked slowly toward Angel with a resolute look, wearing familiar white tights and a silver-gray sword and shield.
"Sure enough, this is my dream. As long as my thoughts are strong enough, I can do anything!" Kiana raised the big shield, raised the long sword, and made a defensive counterattack posture.
Angel twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.
What can I do? It is true that we share dreams, but the difference in the strength of our thoughts is like the brilliance of fireflies compared to the brilliance of the bright moon. If I hadn't tried my best to control and not oppress your mental will, your mind would have become a bubble teapot!
However, the dream world that can be controlled at will does have many new ways to explore. Angel couldn't help but twist her mind. And Kiana confidently knocked the shield with the long sword, making a clear metallic sound.
"Don't think I'm so easy to deal with. I'm completely different with a sword and a shield! Today, I'm going to force out all the truths from your mouth! So be prepared!"
Then, Angel turned and walked into the sea of fire. After a careless snap of her fingers, the overwhelming sub-space lances came from all directions, sending the defiant Kiana out of the dream world.
…
It was the same late night. Sirin opened her eyes dazedly, and in the beautiful sky garden palace with birds singing and flowers blooming, she blinked blankly and found an extremely delicate little face in front of her.
She rested her head on the other's white and soft thighs, and her mouth was wet and sweet.
"Where is this?"
"It's a dream, elder sister."
"...I knew you were playing around!"
Sirin had long known the deception of the Power of Dominance. Angel, who used the identity of Tachibana Yuki, had shown various powers in front of her, which once made Sirin doubt whether the Herrscher who held six cores during the Second Eruption was the Herrscher of the Void or the Herrscher of Dominance?
Sirin rolled her eyes and sat up from Angel's lap pillow. Then, she found that Angel here was her original appearance—a cute little girl with blonde hair and purple eyes, not the delicate appearance of a noble princess with long black hair like Tachibana Yuki.
"What do you want to do again?"
"Hehe, nothing, I just mastered the ability of dreams recently, and I want to bring my sister to play together."
"You just want to do those messy things again!" Sirin put her fingers into the hateful little mouth that didn't blush when lying and pulled Angel's mouth open with a fake smile. Because she was very unhappy, Sirin thought about teaching this naughty little villain a lesson.
As this thought came up, the next second, Angel was tied up with a black belt and fell to the ground, unable to move.
Sirin was stunned for a moment, and a strange look gradually appeared on her face.
"You, you are not..."
"After all, this is a dream built for my elder sister, so of course, my elder sister can do whatever she wants!" Angel spoke obediently, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Sirin innocently.
Sirin's mouth twitched. With a wave of her hand, the little skirt on Angel disappeared.
Angel's little face suddenly turned red, and she blinked shyly and spoke, "My elder sister, please... please have mercy on me..."
The weak and tender voice had a certain attraction that made people's blood boil.
So is it a pure role play today?
Sirin subconsciously hooked her fingers and swallowed her saliva.
Then, she stretched out her hands with three points of eagerness, three points of impatience, three points of interest, and ninety-one points of excitement that she herself did not understand.
