Honkai Survival Guide

The girls are sent to the next workshop for a final makeover.

Their bodies will be divided indiscriminately, and then steel will be implanted in the flesh, or a limb will be completely replaced with some kind of mechanical tissue...

The transformation process was so bloody and violent that surgeons who were used to various surgeries couldn't stand it and vomited on the spot.

But these girls can clearly and intuitively feel their bodies being cut open, and watch their internal organs being violently torn out, stuffed and spliced ​​with a lot of mechanical devices.

The brain nerves are connected to external operating devices and intelligent automation devices to control actions, and finally a layer of solid exoskeleton armor is embedded outside the unrecognizable body.

Thus, a killing machine with good combat power, no pain, no fear of death, and 100% obedience to commands was born.

Edward named them Ex-Machines.

This is also his research direction—that is, the possibility of combining Honkai energy with mechanical structures and the human body.

In a sense, his research was indeed a success.

But the process is cruel, terrifying, bloody, and anti-human. (so he must die)

Relatively speaking, those girls who couldn't withstand the erosion of Honkai energy in the first round and were killed directly as dead soldiers were lucky.

Over the years, no more than [-] girls have been able to survive this series of tortures and have been successfully transformed into such a monster that looks like a human but not a human, a ghost but not a ghost, half mechanical and half dead.

This operation was just to catch the three unarmed children. Edward sent two Mechanic Ghosts just in case, but unexpectedly, these two Mechanic Ghosts were damaged on the snowfield of Siberia. .

His heart ached to the point that his heart was bleeding.

But girls with high Honkai resistance are really hard to find, the probability of success in making a mechanical ghost is extremely low, and the money spent on it is even more astronomical.

It is almost impossible to replenish the two lost Mecha Ji Ghosts in a short time.

If you want to recover the loss, you must start from other aspects.

For the time being, no action can be taken against the Cocolia Orphanage. After this incident, the woman Cocolia will definitely raise the orphanage's defense to a few levels again.

Using armed force to attack by force is definitely asking for trouble.

unless......

A somewhat crazy idea suddenly drilled out from the bottom of Edward's heart.

But this idea is too risky and very uncontrollable.

And if it is found that he is behind the scenes, it may even alarm those old monsters of the conservatives...

Edward's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a while.

At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Edward looked at the number displayed on the screen, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

He quickly connected the phone.

"Lord Edward, the factory! The factory was attacked by a group of unknown people!"

"They wore uniforms and half-coverage masks."

"They killed all the guards, took away all the experimental subjects, blew up all the instruments in the factory, and finally burned the factory to ruins."

"My lord... what should I do next...?"

"What should I do? How dare you ask me what to do??!"

Edward smashed the phone into pieces like a madman.

"Yes! Yes! Leigh! Ya!!!"

His expression was ferocious, not human-like, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Sixteen real bouts

A few days later, in the Cocolia Orphanage——

Cocolia, who had returned to the orphanage, sat at the desk in her room with Lord. Both of them held a stack of rather thick documents in their hands, and they were going through them carefully.

The two looked at each other, their faces becoming more and more gloomy.

Lord smashed the document on the table after reading it.

"This bastard! Is this something a human can do?"

Cocolia's face was also ugly and terrible, the hand holding the document was shaking, and the brand new paper was crumpled by her.

"Damn it! I know that this old man Edward has been secretly researching some unknown things. I also thought that the things he hid might be inhuman, but I never thought that he could do such a cruel thing. things..."

"This bastard, we must find a way to make him pay the price!"

The document in the hands of the two is the mission report that Cocolia sent people to blow up the factory a few days ago.

Cocolia sent people to blow up the factories. The original idea was to simply blow up a few factories affiliated with the decadent faction. Although this would only cause them a certain amount of economic loss, it could not directly have a substantial impact on their status.

However, they want to rebuild the factory and restart the production line.

But what she didn't expect was that one of the factories targeted by the attack was not a factory that produced precision mechanical components as claimed to the public at all, but a human body modification laboratory disguised as a factory.

After the team in charge of the factory discovered the true face of the factory, it took a lot of effort to rescue the girl who was still alive inside.Because time is limited, it is too late to carefully explore what secrets are hidden in this factory, so we can only take away all the things that can be taken away, and destroy all the things that cannot be taken away.

But even if the effective information brought out from it may be less than one-tenth, the things revealed in it are enough to make people feel shocking.

"Cocolia, with these documents, can I pose a real threat to Edward, a beast?" Lord asked, "Is it possible to overthrow him in one fell swoop, and then kill him to sacrifice to heaven?"

Cocolia carefully read the information on the document again, as if she wanted to find out if there were any missing key clues, but after a while, she sighed and put down the document in her hand.

"Although I also want to bring him down with this document, this old thing is very shrewd."

She rubbed her brows, a little worried.

"There is no piece of information in this document that can prove that this body modification laboratory is directly under Edward, and it can even be said that there is no relationship between the two."

"If I really want to use this document to influence him, he will pretend to be completely ignorant, and then face my accusation with an innocent expression, and falsely promise that he will The real person in charge of this laboratory will be caught."

"Finally, after a few days of "strict" investigation, an unlucky scapegoat was kicked out, and then he was reprimanded and executed..."

"And after the incident, he, Edward, is still the top leader of the decadent faction. This incident will not have any impact on his status."

"It means that although we all know that this human body modification laboratory belongs to Edward, that he did this kind of inhumane experiment, and that he proposed this research direction, but there is no evidence pointing to him, right?"

Lord slumped on the chair depressed, and asked in a deep voice.

"How can there be such a reason...is there no other way?"

Cocolia stared at the table in silence for a few seconds before speaking.

"We still know too little about Edward, and the evidence is far from enough. As for Eckel, who only joined us a few days ago, he also knows very little about Edward, so he can't play any role."

"All I can do now is to try my best to search for his criminal evidence, so that this beast will get the punishment he deserves as soon as possible."

"Ugh......"

Lord sighed, and knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, and he couldn't just come to the door and kill him, he was really aggrieved.

"By the way, what happened to the rescued girls? Are they all right?"

"they......"

Thinking of those girls, Cocolia's expression suddenly darkened.

"The situation is not good."

"They were subjected to quite brutal physical and mental abuse before they were sent to the lab."

"Most of them suffered some level of physical impairment, even severe mental illness."

"The girls who have just been sent to the laboratory are considered good. They have not had time to get in touch with the Houkai energy, and they are still ordinary people. When their bodies are recuperated in the future, they still have the opportunity to regain their lives and embrace new life. Life."

"But the girls who have been in the lab for a while are not so lucky. Most of them have been eroded by the Houkai energy."

"Girls with low resistance are directly turned into dead men and killed, while girls with high resistance are lingering in the pain of being eroded inch by inch. However, it is only a matter of time before they are completely turned into dead men."

"There are also some girls who have been implanted with a part of the mechanical tissue. Their physical condition is even worse. If they leave the life support device for too long, they will turn into mechanical dead soldiers within 1 minute."

"Their only ending is death."

Cocolia paused, then said softly.

"I went to see them after they were rescued."

"They are all young and beautiful girls, girls who should be enjoying their youth in trivial daily life."

"They get up early for school, they hang out with their friends, they have holidays to remember with their families."

"They will worry about the drop in grades, smile for a beautiful little dress, and feel happy for a look in the eyes of the person they like."

"They should have had a more colorful life and a broader future."

"But all of this was ruined by a group of dirty people who only wanted to satisfy their own ugly desires."

"So their lives stop there."

"When I went to visit them, I asked them if there was anything I could do for them.

"But they said—"

"kill me."

Having said that, Cocolia paused, and closed her eyes with a painful expression.

"I promise."

"The process of Honkai erosion is irreversible. In any case, they will turn into dead soldiers and be killed. It is better to end their lives earlier, understand the pain earlier, and get rid of torture earlier."

"They said their last wish was to die as a human being."

"They told me—"

"sorry."

After listening to Cocolia's words in silence, Lord opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he had nothing to say.

The two were silent for a long time before Cocolia spoke, breaking the dull atmosphere in the room.

"In the next period of time, Edward should not think about the orphanage for the time being, but I will still strengthen the defense of the orphanage.

"And the task of taking good care of the children is still up to you, Lord."

Lord let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to let out the stagnation in his heart, and then agreed.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the children."

"Fortunately, you are here in this regard, which can make me feel at ease."

Cocolia picked up the documents on the table, narrowed her eyes and said.

"Although this document does not pose any threat to Edward, it can also make him lose a piece of flesh after careful operation."

"The real contest has begun, Edward!"

In the middle of the seventeenth night there was a knock on the door

Cocolia left with the documents. She wanted to use these documents and some of the information she had collected before to give the Corruption faction a head-on punch. No matter what, they had to pay a little price first.

And before leaving, Cocolia told Lord that the X-10 experiment will officially start soon.

Although the ten test subjects have not been found yet, the X-10 experiment has been in preparation for a long time. Many people in Anti-Entropy regardless of the faction are paying attention to this experiment, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

Now I can only continue to search for suitable experimental subjects while conducting experiments.

Lord said that he still said the same thing - if you really can't find the experimental subject, then let him come.

If he was not there, then this experimental subject might be Seele, it would be Bronya, and the result would be Seele quantized, wandering alone in the quantum sea for many years, Bronya's legs and brain caused Damaged by the erosion of Houkai energy.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Lord.

If his time travel can't change something, what's the point?

And this incident has come to an end for now, Edward's plan for the orphanage has not succeeded, and the people on Cocolia's side have not suffered any damage, which can be called a perfect victory.

Lord continued to live a relaxed and happy life with the children in the orphanage.

It's just that this incident still left a thorn in Lord's heart that was difficult to remove.

He still thinks back to what Cocolia said from time to time, thinking of those miserable girls.

What kind of pain and despair did those girls go through, so that they no longer have any nostalgia for this world, and can calmly say "kill me".

Lord couldn't imagine it.
