"All right, stitch witches!" deia kicked open the door and looked at the doctors huddled in the corner of the room. Their hands and feet were bound with rope, while their mouths were gagged with dirty cloth.
"Let’s play a little ga," she said, tilting her head and flashing a smile that was far too sweet to be comforting. "Question and answer. I ask, you answer. Simple, right?"
The doctors tried their best to get away from her, sensing a bad on in her.
deia pointed her sword at one of them. "If you retreat even an inch, I will cut off your legs."
[WARNING! WARNING!]
[Threat detected!!]
[Host, you cannot threaten innocent people!]
’Innocent, you say? They’re the ones who turned many people into monsters!’
[Host, they were only following the instructions from their general! So of them are even kidnapped and forced to work under pressure!’]
deia narrowed her eyes and looked at their faces. So of them seed quite innocent, but she’d be dood if she judged soone just by their looks.
’There is no excuse for a bad deed. You keep telling that, rember?’
The system went silent for a while, perhaps trying to find an excuse to refute her words.
[But everyone deserves a second chance, host! You also have done bad things in the past, but you have been given a new chance to fix your life!]
A new chance, my ass.
The system had given her a second chance not out of kindness, but because it found her character entertaining enough for a reality show.
[Besides, if you want to talk about the bad deeds, Lucian made really big mistakes back then, too.]
deia’s face darkened. She was fine with the system talking badly about her past, but she would never let the system talk badly about Lucian.
’Don’t bring his na into the table!’ she snapped inwardly, ’He was lied to by his general. Those damn doctors? They knew what they were doing.’
’You told that everyone deserves a second chance? Well, let tell you a secret, my dear system. They may get a second chance, but they will never be able to run from the consequences of their actions.’
Yes, so of them were forced to follow Orlon’s orders, but that didn’t make them innocent.
They had sacrificed other lives in order to survive. There was nothing wrong with doing anything to survive, but every action had consequences and they had to face them.
"deia," Lucian called after she hadn’t said anything for a while. "Are you okay?"
deia snapped her mind back to reality. "Yes, I’m okay." She lowered her sword and said, "How about we start with the question now?"
The system didn’t say anything after that, maybe it had found deia’s words reasonable so that it couldn’t argue with them anymore.
"Let’s make this quick. We don’t have all day," Lucian said and stepped forward to stand at her side.
Simon and Ren removed the cloth from their mouths so they could speak. But the first thing that ca out of their mouths was a string of insults. "Let us go, you moron!"
"You think General Orlon is going to stand by and let you ss with his base?"
deia laughed in her mind. If the system still had the audacity to call these people innocent, she would give up her C-points to insult it non-stop.
Maybe in the beginning they were forced by Orlon to perform experints on humans. But as ti passed, the curiosity in their hearts overca their consciences.
The humans before them were nothing more than a bunch of doctors who liked to play with their lab rats.
"What can he do?" deia tilted her head. "He’s in the dungeon now, along with his rabid lab rats. I don’t think he’s alive down there."
The doctors’ faces turned pale. One of them asked, "You an the monsters are out of their cage?"
Interesting.
These doctors actually called them monsters.
"They should be contained! No, you must close the way out of the dungeon!"
"We have." deia leaned closer. "Tell , what exactly did you do to these ’lab rats’ to make you afraid when they got loose?"
deia could guess that soone had deliberately released those monsters from their cages. But what the hell was he thinking?
Didn’t it sound like suicide? Who was the madman who opened the cages of the dangerous monsters when he was trapped in the dungeon?
Unless ... unless he had a way to control them.
deia imdiately pulled the doctor’s collar, then asked in a demanding tone. "What was Orlon planning to do with the monsters?"
The doctor hiccupped, trembling under her piercing gaze. He stamred, "G-General Orlon wanted to create a new kind of soldier that could survive in any condition and have multiple abilities."
Lucian furrowed his eyebrows. "It’s impossible to have multiple abilities unless they had the talent for it in the first place."
"Y-yes, you’re right." the doctor stamred, "that’s why General—he ... he fused DNA from various mutants and other creatures, even animals. He thought combining strengths could create hybrids with extraordinary abilities."
deia frowned, showing her confusion. She didn’t know much about the human dical field, but she was sure that to get such results, they had to do so many experints until it worked.
If they had been doing this research for more than a dozen years, then the number of humans who had been experinted on in that lab probably ran into the thousands.
As she thought about it, she finally realized that sothing was missing. "Where are the babies? The children you took from the Stormclad base, where are they?"
Since she entered the Warstock base, deia had seen no sign of children.
She didn’t even see any kid’s clothes in the laundry room, and there were no annoying sounds of children around the base.
It was strange. No matter how obedient the kids were, they always made annoying noises.
The doctor hesitantly said, "The children ... they are the main subjects of this experint."
