A strange light simultaneously rose in the eyes of Mebius, May, and Vervière.
"Is this your new theory? It's a completely new direction, but it seems you don't believe in the so-called soul. Well, that's right, your movie also mentions that there are no ghosts in the world." Virvi seemed to be having another episode, constantly talking to herself.
“This is not my theory,” Ya Qing said calmly.
"Who is that?" Mebius's eyes gleamed with greed, the look of a snake eyeing its prey.
“Bishop Otto’s.”
Ya Qing bowed slightly to that person, expressing her highest respect.
Everyone was puzzled, as they had never seen Ya Qing speak with such respect when mentioning Otto, the president of Destiny.
Theresa and Patrick arrived at the Tower of Babel reactor area. Patrick was the first to discover slight traces of Honkai energy on the ground. In the even darker scene, Theresa was afraid that some unknown thing would suddenly appear from somewhere, and she began to stammer as she spoke.
Patrick couldn't help but chuckle as he watched this scene. He had even defeated a King-level Honkai Beast, yet he was so frightened by a ghost, especially when he recalled Theresa screaming in terror from the carousel last time.
"Help...help! Is anyone there? Please help us..."
A faint cry for help echoed in the open area. The two men's expressions changed. Patrick looked in the direction of the sound with a serious expression, while Theresa screamed in fright, "A ghost...a ghost is out!"
"No, that's a human girl's voice!"
Patrick and Theresa jogged toward the sound. Next to the Honkai energy reactor was a large, empty factory, like a prison. Theresa wondered why there was such a place in the research institute.
Patrick had already grasped the hand that reached out from behind the iron bars. The dim light shone on the girl's thin face, which was covered with many scars, and her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the newcomer.
“Save…save us…”
Patrick kept her head down, her brown and white hair obscuring her eyes.
"Why? Why is there a prison in the research institute? And..." Pado looked at Yaqing sitting in the back row in disbelief.
Kevin, who had been smiling, suddenly turned gloomy.
Su frowned.
Mei uttered a few words: "Human experimentation."
"You beast!" Qianjie smashed the armrest of the chair with a punch, panting heavily as he looked at Yaqing, his eyes seeming as if he would attack if Yaqing said a word of affirmation.
Alicia became unusually serious.
"I knew you'd ask that." Ya Qing sighed and smiled. "Don't worry, if anyone at the Destiny Research Institute dares to conduct human experiments while pretending to comply, they'll never see the sun rise again."
Ya Qing was so certain because he had previously controlled the direction of the Destiny Research, and he had once tied forty-seven researchers to a hundred-pound stone and thrown it into the center of the Pacific Ocean in a single day.
Whether revealing Tianming's past mistakes would cause Tianming's stock price to plummet was something Yaqing didn't care about, and neither did Otto.
However, Otto worried that Karen might take all the blame upon herself.
As expected, Karen, who had been happily eating potato chips, fell silent.
"Otto, fate will not..."
Otto quickly put his arm around Karen's slender waist, letting her bury her head in his chest, and gently comforted her, "It's alright, Karen. Fate won't turn out like in the movies, because the real power in the research direction is Minister Ya."
"Um……"
Otto smiled wryly; even this little bit was unbearable for Kallen, let alone if all the rest of the content were released…

Chapter Thirteen: Revenge – Revenge Against the Valkyrie and Against Fate
Theresa grabbed the iron fence and pulled it outwards with all her might. With a snap, the nearly two-meter-high steel fence was actually removed by Theresa. Facing the children whose faces were still wrapped in bandages, Theresa felt both heartache and anger.
What pains me is the inhumane treatment these children have suffered here, and what angers me is that I know about the darkness behind Tianming's secrets, yet I am powerless to stop it.
Theresa reached out her hand to the children, giving them a gentle smile.
"Come out, you're all safe now."
The children cautiously emerged. A brown-haired girl, who looked about the same size as Theresa, bowed gratefully to Theresa, who quickly waved her hand.
Patrick leaned against the wall and explained the situation of these girls. It turned out that they were just experimental subjects, orphans recruited by Schicksal to conduct experiments on human adaptation to Honkai energy. Schicksal had at least several thousand such experimental subjects, and no one cared about their lives.
"No, it's not that nobody cares; at least I care about them."
Theresa gently grasped the brown-haired girl's arms. Her touch was light, as if afraid that even the slightest force would aggravate her wounds.
Theresa promised them that she would see them off.
"Wait, Theresa, this is against the rules..."
Patricia grabbed Theresa's shoulder. According to regulations, the test subjects must be sent back to headquarters. Moreover, she believed that releasing them after they had been injected with Honkai energy would be a danger to society and to the people.
Theresa glanced at this.
"You know St. Freya Academy, right...?"
Patrick was taken aback.
The scene then shifts to a picturesque setting, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, where a Nordic-style castle stands against a blue sky, a stark contrast to the dim filter used for the Tower of Babel.
"Not long ago, I applied to His Holiness the Bishop..."
"One day, they can return to normal life, or... become Valkyries as excellent as you."
Theresa's genuine smile completely stunned Patrick.
Reluctantly, I agreed.
"Ha, fate is truly ugly," Qianjie sneered.
“Uh… Qianjie meant the destiny in the plot.” Although Sakura was equally angry, she quickly tried to cover it up, after all, not counting Yaqing sitting behind her, her best friend was the president’s wife of the destiny.
“I know, Sakura.” Yaqing nodded and said, “In every beautiful story, there will be a villain. Maybe it’s President Otto, or maybe it’s… me.”
“Hmm…” Alicia pulled Yaqing’s arm, her beautiful face staring intently at Yaqing, and said seriously, “Yaqing, you can’t allow yourself to write your character like this.”
“I will, Ellie.”
"Crack." A breaking sound came from somewhere, but no one paid attention after Qianjie smashed the armrest of the chair.
Only Su shook her head.
Whether Alicia believed it or not, she looked back at the screen, her pupils sparkling, and excitedly clasped her hands together, saying, "What a wonderful idea~, Miss Fairy is increasingly eager to get to know Theresa~?"
"Hehe." Kevin quickly hugged his girlfriend tightly.
"Padoo, do you have any more potato chips?" Velvi asked.
“Yes, yes, Sister Vivi, thank you for your patronage.” Pado, sitting in the first row, suddenly perked up her ears, pulled out a bag of potato chips from under her chair, and her eyes gleamed with the sight of money.
……
“Truly, my little Theresa is worthy of being called a child. Growing up in such circumstances, she still retains a pure heart,” Otto remarked, showing no awareness whatsoever of his role as the mastermind behind it all.
After learning that fate hadn't done any of this, Kallen felt relieved. However, upon hearing Otto's words, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, settling old and new grudges together, and kicked Otto off the bed.
"Ouch."
