Einstein interrupted Theresa's thoughts, and Theresa nodded, leading the three of them to the location of the prison.
The group entered the prison and saw Luo Chen standing motionless in the central open space, his body emitting a faint Honkai energy.
"No, it's nowhere..."
Luo Chen opened his eyes, looking lost and disoriented, and let out a bitter laugh. He clenched his right fist and punched a hole in the iron box next to him.
Siegfried stepped forward and patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, but the words of comfort stuck in his throat. After all, this was Schicksal's laboratory, and for someone from Schicksal to comfort him was truly a bit like hell.
"Thanks, but I'd like to be alone for a while. I'll come back to you later."
Luo Chen left the dimly lit prison and returned to the screen in the hall, where he pulled up a map of the entire Babylonian laboratory.
'Aunt Kiyono once said that Dad saved many test subjects during the Second Honkai Impact, maybe...'
Using his corrupting powers to gain access to the mainframe computer, Luo Chen quickly found the room where his father used to live.
With a sliver of hope, Luo Chen walked to the front of the room and used his Honkai energy to control the electronic lock on the wall, easily opening the door.
The room was spacious, and in addition to the most basic furniture, there was a device in one corner, which looked like it was used to detect Honkai energy.
There was a pile of documents on the table facing the door, and the ashtray next to the table was full of cigarette butts. Luo Chen could imagine his father sitting here smoking and looking worried.
I glanced at the papers on the table; they were almost all summaries and improvements to the experiments. However, something on one of the papers caught my attention.
This piece of paper was filled with complaints and grievances about the experiment, making it stand out from the other papers.
"What the hell is this?"
Luo Chen picked up the paper and put it down again. The handwriting on it was a little hasty, and in many places, Luo Chen didn't even dare to call it a word.
"While I'm complaining, why write it down on paper?"
Luo Chen shook his head, recalling the notebooks his father kept at home, which contained a few complaints every few pages, as if it were a habit of his.
After circling the room several times without finding anything useful, Luo Chen shook his head helplessly, realizing that his judgment had been wrong.
"Mr. Tarantula, what are you doing here?"
Siegfried appeared at the room door. Einstein's screening was over, and the next step was to track down the Second Herrscher. So Siegfried had nothing to do for the time being and thought he'd come to find Luo Chen.
"I was looking for a quiet place to stay, and I happened to see the door to this room open."
As Luo Chen spoke, he picked up a piece of paper filled with complaints and handed it to Siegfried.
"You people of Destiny are really interesting, actually writing something like this."
Siegfried took the paper and immediately recognized the handwriting as that of his mischievous friend, which made him feel heavy-hearted.
"what happened?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this paper is an old friend of mine."
Siegfried's voice sounded very sad. He couldn't help but recall the expression on Xuan Yu's face when all the researchers who obtained the Tower of Babel disappeared.
"His name is Luo Ming, and he is one of the researchers in this laboratory."
"I've heard of it, it's pretty impressive."
Luo Chen felt embarrassed, but he had no choice but to answer in this way.
"However, he is probably in grave danger now."
Siegfried looked at the complaints on the paper, some of which were about himself, so it seemed that Luo Ming really wrote them.
"Wait, this..."
Siegfried felt increasingly uneasy as he read on, and he carefully read the entire text again, his brain working at lightning speed.
Luo Chen thought to himself, "As expected." Judging from Siegfried's expression, there must be something hidden here, but he just couldn't see it.
"What's wrong? Isn't this just a bunch of nonsense?"
"It might be true for people who don't know him well, but it's a different story for people who do. Some of the words on this have been deliberately marked with suggestive symbols by Luo Ming."
Siegfried pointed them out to Luo Chen one by one, and took out a blank piece of paper to write them together.
Although the words were picked out, it was clearly not a complete sentence. Luo Chen was thinking about what message it was trying to convey, and subconsciously read the words aloud.
"Wait... this seems to be a coordinate."
Luo Chen read it again and found that the pronunciation of these things was similar to that of numbers, and when viewed in its entirety, it looked remarkably like coordinates.
"seems like it."
Siegfried also figured it out, took out his terminal, brought up the map, and tried out all the coordinates that the string of numbers could form.
Enter the fifth possible coordinates, and the location shown on the map is a small village not too far from the Babylonian Laboratory.
Luo Chen suddenly realized that the location shown on the map was likely where Luo Ming had placed the children he had rescued, and Bella and the others might also be there.
"Is there anything in this village?"
"I don't know, I'll go check."
"me and you togather."
Luo Chen turned to leave, but Siegfried grabbed his shoulder, indicating that he wanted to stay with him.
"You stay here and guard the Tower of Babylon well, or I'll tell Otto that you failed to hold the position properly."
Fearing that Siegfried would get too entangled, Luo Chen used Otto as a shield, and Siegfried decisively gave up.
As soon as Siegfried released his grip, Luo Chen vanished from the spot, heading off to find the village.
Chapter 221 I’m back
Not long after Luo Chen stepped out of the Tower of Babel, Honkai Beasts began to spring up like mushrooms after rain. It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't seen Luo Chen, but once they did, they relentlessly pursued him, severely slowing him down.
This was the fifth wave of Honkai Beasts to have attacked him. Luo Chen hid under one of them, making sure no other Honkai Beasts noticed him, before continuing his journey.
The further away from the Tower of Babel, the fewer Honkai Beasts there were. After walking for about ten minutes, there were only a few Honkai Beasts to be seen in the vicinity.
"Cirin should be out soon, we need to hurry."
Luo Chen quickened his pace and, after another ten minutes or so, finally arrived at the village.
The village looked abandoned for some time. Luo Chen was wondering where his father would hide people when he sensed a faint Honkai energy reaction.
"Is there still a Honkai energy reaction here?"
The source of the reaction was a small hilltop, where a villa stood out from the village, clearly not a place that ordinary people could afford to live.
The villa's exterior walls were clearly protected, and the prominent Destiny insignia on the gate struck Luo Chen as odd. If the goal was to hide the experimental subjects, why would his father choose a Destiny-themed building?
Luo Chen stepped onto the steps in front of the villa. As if sensing his presence, the villa door opened automatically, and a pistol was thrust out from inside.
"You are... I'm sorry, Lord Tarantula, it was my fault for being negligent."
The woman holding the pistol appeared to be in her early twenties. Judging from her attire and eyes, she was clearly a Valkyrie, and the kind who carried out assassination missions.
"you know me?"
Luo Chen did not rush in. He knew that anyone in this timeline who knew him was definitely not an ordinary person, and the woman in front of him was certainly not as simple as she appeared.
"His Excellency the Bishop showed me your photograph."
The woman bowed to Luo Chen, whose face was dark, but she didn't see it because he was wearing a mask.
"Okay, so what did Otto put you here for?"
"As external support for Lord Luo Ming."
Luo Chen had gotten used to it. Ever since he guessed that Otto might have been taught by him, Luo Chen was no longer surprised by anything Otto did. Instead, he was curious about what he had taught him.
"External support? What kind of support?"
"The vehicles and permissions used by Lord Luo Ming to transport the experimental subjects, and the living conditions of the experimental subjects, etc."
The woman explained everything to Luo Chen in concise language, making Luo Chen's eyes twitch. How long had Otto been preparing all this?
"Where are the test subjects now?"
"Due to the birth of the Second Herrscher, the concentration of Honkai energy in this area has increased. To prevent any accidents, I injected them with Honkai energy inhibitors and then placed them in the basement."
"Take me there."
"I understand, please."
The woman led Luo Chen to the basement. As soon as they entered, Luo Chen was dumbfounded. Whose basement was as big as half a football field?
"Is this really a basement?"
"This really is a basement."
The woman calmly led Luo Chen through a corridor lined with rooms resembling internet cafe booths, eventually arriving at a place that looked like a large hall.
A thick blanket was spread on the floor of the hall, and a dozen little girls were sitting on it, all huddled together in small groups of two or three, chatting quietly.
"Big sister, you're back."
Some of the girls saw Luo Chen and his companion and waved to them, while the rest also looked in their direction, though most simply nodded and greeted them.
Luo Chen's attention was focused on the four people at the back from the beginning. Finding it too slow to walk over, he teleported directly to their side, squatted down, and looked at them.
"Excuse me... big brother, is there anything I can help you with?"
Hearing that familiar yet wary voice, Luo Chen felt a mix of emotions. He slowly placed his hand on the mask, removed it, and revealed his face.
