Chapter 69: Kidnapped Again!

["Tsumugi, this is for you." On the first day you moved into your new home, Rosaria handed you a dark green bracelet. There were incomprehensible symbols engraved on the bracelet, but you could tell at a glance that it was definitely not an ordinary item.]

["Remember the blue-haired woman from a few years ago? I stole this from her."]

["You mean…Yelan?"]

["Yes, it's her." Rosaria nodded and explained, "Originally, I planned to give this bracelet as your coming-of-age gift, but... after thinking about it, I still think it's better to give it to you now."]

["Why?" You asked, gently stroking the dark green bracelet.]

["Because…" Rosaria's eyes wandered, and after a moment's hesitation, she continued, "Luckily, Jean didn't hurt you this time, but if the same thing happens again next time… So I think I should give you this bracelet sooner, at least I won't have any regrets."]

["Pah, pah, pah! What are you talking about? You can't talk about such taboo things!" As a Liyue person, Baoer is a bit superstitious, so he criticized Rosaria.]

["Besides, you gave me a cloak and a bracelet. Compared to that, I am really embarrassed for not giving you anything!"]

Okay, I take back what I said. Baoer is just jealous.

["I got it!" Baoer's eyes rolled around a few times, and an idea quickly came to his mind, "I can give myself to you! Elbow, come with me into the house!"]

[After saying that, Baoer threw you onto the big bed, looking like he was ready to pounce on you at any time.]

["Okay, stop making trouble. Brother Suanzi has spoken. If you dare to be so rude again, next time it won't be just a chapter that will be lost, but the whole book." Rosaria stabbed Baoer.]

["Well… I know there are tigers in the mountains, but I still go there. I will never give in to evil forces!" Baoer covered his head pitifully.]

["Hey, hey, hey." Looking at the intimate interaction between Rosaria and Baoer, you smiled a bit silly while lying on the bed.]

[13 years old: After a year of peaceful daily life, one day, you were kidnapped again.]

[This time you did nothing. A group of fools broke into your house while Baoer and Rosaria were not at home and kidnapped you, putting you on a carriage. After three days of transportation, you were taken to a secret laboratory of the Fatui outside Mondstadt.]

[You also tried to escape on the way, but the Fatui are not ordinary thieves. Under their strict surveillance, your several attempts to escape ended in failure.]

["Doctor, the test samples you need have been delivered." A Fatui in a white coat said respectfully to the doctor.]

["Very good, then you can test her."]

["Yes!"]

[Then, several Fatui tied you to the table in the center of the laboratory and used a small scalpel to cut scars on your body. Then several more people came and controlled the elemental force to enter your body through these wounds.]

[Evaporation, superconductivity, electroconduction, overload... all kinds of weak elemental reactions are reacting violently in your body, and the severe pain that follows makes you scream out in pain, but the Fatui around you just continue to do their work indifferently, looking at you as if you were a dead person.]

[Finally, after going through a life-or-death examination, you finally got a chance to breathe.]

["Doctor! This girl's body is truly amazing!" After the examination, the Fatui in a white coat looked at your data excitedly, "This girl's adaptability to the Delusion is ridiculous! She can use the power of the Delusion almost without any burden!"]

["Oh, really?" Hearing this, the doctor lowered his head and checked the various data related to you.]

["It's a pity that the remaining remnants of the demon god have been made into the original Delusion by me. Otherwise… what a pity, what a pity." A trace of regret flashed in the doctor's eyes.]

["Well, now that we have such a good experimental subject, you should pay attention to the intensity of the experiment and don't kill her."]

["I understand, Doctor." The white-coated Fatui replied with a fanatical light flashing in his eyes.]

[What awaits you next is endless torture without daybreak.]

[After being locked up in the laboratory for a month, the cruelty became unbearable for you. You tried to escape several times, but each time you failed. In the end, the Fatui used some unknown method to make you lose the feeling of your legs, and you can only use a wheelchair to get around every day.]

[After being locked up in the lab for two months, you hoped every day that someone could save you from the daily torture, but this was just wishful thinking.]

[After being locked up in the laboratory for three months, you tried to bite your tongue to commit suicide, but failed.]

[After being locked up in the laboratory for four months and undergoing repeated tests, the Fatui have gained sufficient knowledge of your body parameters, so they have begun to let you use the Delusion in order to observe the severity of the aftereffects you suffer from using it.]

[Since the experiments at this stage are relatively not very cruel, your mental state, which was on the verge of collapse, has improved a lot. Although you have to lie in bed for several days due to physical exhaustion every time you use the Delusion, this does give you plenty of time to rest.]

[You have been locked up in the laboratory for five months. Since you were weak due to long-term malnutrition in your childhood, the progress of the experiment has been greatly slowed down. The Fatui have begun to consider whether to modify your body so that you can adapt to more intensive experiments.]

[You were locked up in a laboratory for six months, and the doctor performed a transformation on your body. Most of your body, including your limbs and internal organs, was replaced with machinery. You are now more like a "doll" than a "human."]

[After the transformation, your physical strength has increased exponentially, and because of this, you have thought about escaping the laboratory again. This time you are not impulsive, but pretend to be obedient and secretly look for a way to escape.]

[You have been locked up in the laboratory for seven months. Although your physical strength has increased exponentially after the transformation, the intensity of the experiments has also increased a lot. You are exhausted from the experiments every day and can only suppress the idea of escaping for the time being.]

[You were locked up in the laboratory for eight months. Because the Fatui gave you a new and more powerful Delusion, your mechanical body was damaged. As a last resort, the doctor had to use more precious materials to make you a more powerful body.]
