Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 174: Space rules begin to show their power, the Tower of Babylon summons Xilin

The 20 floors below the Tower of Babylon do store a large number of Honkai reactors, but what no one knows except for the top executives or staff is that there is a prison below the 20 floors... where the stigmata test subjects are imprisoned...

Jiang Ming walked alone in this huge prison. There was no light or shadow here. There was only the sound of low sobbing coming from an unknown cell, but after a moment, there was no sound again...

Jiang Ming looked at them one by one. Since the girls here all had a very good resistance to Honkai energy, those things injecting Honkai energy into them would not directly kill them, but it would at least cause them excruciating pain.

He could only try to use his power to ease their pain and make them fall asleep one by one. He came here with only one goal - Xilin.

"Found it..."

Jiang Ming murmured softly and came to a prison door.

The sturdy cell door was almost impossible for ordinary people to open. Inside, apart from some very simple facilities, there was only a dry straw mat, which seemed to be used instead of a bed.

And the one lying on the straw mat was exactly the target of Jiang Ming's trip.

“It hurts! It hurts! It hurts... oooooo..."

It was probably not long after the last experiment. A young girl in a tattered white shirt fell to the ground, holding her aching head and body tightly, rolling back and forth. Big tears rolled from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't dare to make too much noise.

She had thick, long purple hair, but it was messy from lack of care and rough treatment. Her arms were covered with needle holes, and the bruises all over her body told of how she had been treated during this period.

"..."

Jiang Ming walked through the cell door silently and held the skinny girl on the ground in his arms.

“Ahh…!”

Perhaps Jiang Ming's sudden action frightened her. Her crooked eyes showed uneasiness and her thin shoulders trembled uncontrollably. Xilin struggled desperately in his arms, muttering to herself.

"Don't come over...I don't want to go...don't..."

But how could she possibly be stronger than Jiang Ming? Seeing this, Jiang Ming held the back of her head and back with his hands, letting her petite body lean tightly against him, and kept comforting her softly.

"Okay, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

“No…I don’t want it! It hurts…No—!”

"Calm down, Xilin, your name is Xilin, right? It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, be good, I'm here."

While Jiang Ming used the power of creation to reduce Xilin's pain, he called her name in her ear. In fact, he did this at the beginning.

This process lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Gentle words echoed in her ears, and Xilin's excitement gradually calmed down in Jiang Ming's arms.

Xilin's injuries and pain had long been healed by Jiang Ming, but she was still sobbing in Jiang Ming's arms, so Jiang Ming comforted her softly again.

"Xilin, I know you must be concerned about why I know your name, but it doesn't matter. I came to save you because I heard your pain. I came to help you because I felt your pain. You must have something you want to do now, right?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's voice, Xilin's body trembled subconsciously, but she still nodded slightly.

Jiang Ming continued.

"That's right. Xilin is a good kid, but those ugly humans outside are not. There is no need for such beings to survive. They should be killed as soon as possible. This is also what you originally thought, right?"

Hearing this, Xilin looked up at the person who was hugging her, but she couldn't see the other person's face at all. As if seeing the doubt in her heart, Jiang Ming smiled.

"Don't worry about what I look like. For some reason, I can't let you see my face, but we can set a secret code."

Jiang Ming stretched out his palm and placed it in front of Xilin. Soon, an exquisite ice flower condensed in front of Xilin.

"This ice flower is unique in the world. If someone freezes this ice flower in front of you again next time, that person will be me, okay? This is a secret that belongs only to us."

Xilin looked carefully at the ice flowers in front of her, then nodded to Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming wiped the tears from her eyes and warned her softly.

"Remember, from now on, we will be the only ones bullying others, and no one will bully us. I will always be by your side."

"Who are you?"

Xilin finally spoke. Her screams had originally sounded like a dying kitten abandoned on the street, but now she has regained vitality under Jiang Ming's treatment.

"...You will know it later, but if you really want to know, you can call me Ming first. It means to remember in your heart. Don't forget it, otherwise I will be very sad."

Jiang Ming stroked Xilin's fair cheek. The golden cross-shaped pupils no longer showed timidity, but looked at him seriously.

"But what you need now is strength. Coincidentally, you are a very lucky girl, a girl chosen by God. As long as some Honkai energy is injected into your body, the Herrscher Core will be able to condense in your body. It will give you powerful strength and prevent you from being bullied by anyone. This process will not be painful, I believe... Never mind, I will do my best to help you."

After saying that, Jiang Ming injected an appropriate amount of Honkai energy into Xilin's body to help her quickly condense the Herrscher Core. Even though he did nothing, the Herrscher Core would still condense. He just accelerated the process and spared the child any pain.

"..."

Xilin looked at the person in front of her seriously. Although she couldn't see his face, she still stared at him closely, which made Jiang Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"No matter how much you stare at me, I won't let you see my appearance. This is a secret~"

"Why... help me?"

Jiang Ming thought about it briefly and then answered.

"Well... because I don't like those things outside, but it would be too boring if I killed them alone. And you, Xilin, you don't like them either, right? Haha, we are the same kind, and isn't it normal for companions to help each other? I will stay by your side until you grow up."

"And in this process, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will help you, even if the price is my life. As long as it's for you, it doesn't matter if I lose it."

At this time Jiang Ming seemed to have noticed something. He lifted Xilin up and let her sit in front of him and lean against him. He hugged her gently from behind, muttering something.

"Pay attention, it's coming~"

While Xilin was still confused, the two guys who were planning to conduct experiments on Xilin walked in. Xilin recognized them at a glance and subconsciously screamed in panic and wanted to escape to the corner of the cell door, but was held tightly in Jiang Ming's arms.

This action also made the two guys see Jiang Ming. Although they were surprised for a moment, they still shouted loudly.

"Hey! Who are you? How did you get in?!"

Jiang Ming ignored them and turned Xilin's gaze towards them, speaking gently like a mother teaching her child.

"Watch out, to deal with them, you have to do it like this - space universe rules, space compression."

“Ah…Ahhh——!!”

Jiang Ming stretched out his right hand and gently clenched it in the air, while the two experimenters slowly rose into the air. Due to the compression of the space around them, their heads, limbs, and torsos were all twisted into a ball. The sound of bones breaking spread in the air, which sounded unusually pleasant in this silent prison.

boom!boom!

As if they felt bored, the next second, under Jiang Ming's control, the two were directly squeezed into a bloody mist. The blood even exploded ten feet away, but it did not splash on everyone present.

Such a bloody scene did not frighten Xilin. Instead, she stared at the bloodstains on the ground very seriously, with a light flashing in her golden cross-shaped pupils, full of anticipation.

At this time, Jiang Mingbie put his mouth close to Xilin's ear and spoke softly.

"See? Xilin, this is how you deal with them. You have this ability now. Only by squeezing them slowly can they feel more clearly."

"But there is one thing you have to remember. This method can only be used on some relatively weak humans. After all, there are other powerful guys in this world. If you encounter them, you have to use other means. But it doesn't matter. We still have nearly a day. During this time, I can slowly teach you."

Jiang Ming helped Xilin stand up, took her hand and led her slowly to other floors, as if a brother was taking his sister for a stroll.

"There are more than 300 people in this tower now. We can experiment slowly... Oh, by the way, you can just call me brother or Brother Ming."

"Okay, brother."

"Xilin is so good~"
