Chapter 299: "Candy in the trash box"

In the real world...

This month, the Honkai Impact reaction around the world is getting worse.

Through the patterns that have been studied, researchers have predicted that the sixth Herrscher will descend to earth within three months at the latest, around the Swiss mountains.

During this time, MOTH began to prepare itself.

Kalpas, someone who can emit fire without MANTIS operation, is now the sharpest knife owned by MOTH.

Even though he has a bad attitude and doesn't care about the lives of his teammates, Kalpas' efficiency in solving the problem of Honkai beasts created from Honkai Impact is very high.

One person is equivalent to an entire platoon.

Even though the place he passed through would become a huge mess, and the property damage would be immeasurable, for a person like this, as long as Kalpas still maintained his hatred for honkai, the MOTH higher-ups didn't really care.

They really like stupid people who are very easy to take advantage of.

Meanwhile, for Aponia, a mysterious woman who can control other people with her hypnosis, MOTH officials imposed a strict prison sentence on her, and could only come out during a very important MANTIS experimental test.

Aponia didn't mind this either. It was understandable why they were afraid. After all, Aponia herself took the initiative to be imprisoned, and she did not step out in the slightest if it was not necessary.

As for Ninti, she is the dark horse that is the most vicious of all the surprises that the Aponia orphanage has given.

Everyone's eyes turned to her.

After learning that Ninti's Meta-Morph cell fusion data was perfect, with no rejection reaction at all, this data was classified as a top secret document, and they began to conduct experiments again.

In contrast to Thea who is very patient and allows Kevin to grow slowly. MOTH has already implemented the chimera project plan for Ninti.

Every day is a new experiment.

Every day, new data is generated.

Every day, her strength continues to increase.

Every day...

However, Ninti had no memory of what she was going to do next.

Last time there was an agent who wore a black suit and let her watch a TV that kept flashing with various bright colors.

Ninti felt her emotions getting duller.

What did they do to her?

Don't understand.

Whatever, however they still kept the promises they made.

Today was her rest day after the major surgery was completed. Ninti can do whatever she wants.

Doing what she often did, Ninti walked around the ward, giving sweets to a girl who was currently waiting for surgery.

"Don't give up, I don't know what problem you are facing, but you can eat this candy, it tastes very sweet."

Some words have different meanings in different situations.

People waiting for surgery to become fusion warriors usually have numb hearts. They feel that this world has lost its meaning, has become gray.

However, Ninti believes, after tasting the sweet taste of candy, they will realize that there is still a lot they care about.

A single point of light will appear in their opaque eye spot.

This world is not as monotonous as they see.

There is still hope.

"Thank You..."

Receiving candy from the girl who had a stiff face, the girl didn't know how to reaction.

Her expression was more monotone than hers and very similar to that of a doll. But the words that came out of her mouth were very gentle.

This is strange.

The girl felt that Ninti needed help more than she did.

"Hm, don't forget to eat the candy."

Ninti nodded, and she went to look for people who didn't plan to live anymore or people who were hopeless.

This is her daily life.

Even though the act of distributing candy is just a small act, at least it still has meaning, right?

Ninti hopes that someone will be helped by her help.

"Pardo?"

"Ninti, I finally found you!"

Opened the locked window, and entered without making a sound. Pardo looked outside the ward, and she wiped the cold sweat dripping off her forehead.

"You don't know what I've been through all this time, the security in this place is very tight! Is this really a hospital or a military fortress!?"

"....Why don't you just come in through the front door?"

"Because I can't! They said that you were dying! I don't believe it!"

Every time Pardo wanted to visit Ninti, she was always prevented by armed soldiers from approaching.

Even if she could get through all that, the receptionist at the door would say that the Ninti patient she was looking for was under serious treatment, and Pardo would just be thrown out.

Pardo felt suspicious.

That's why she decided to sneak out.

Security at this place is very tight and it has a full 24 hour free rotation with no blind spots.

But either by coincidence or luck, Honkai beasts suddenly appeared in the settlement near the hospital, and Pardo took advantage of this opportunity to enter.

Making sure to the outside world that she hasn't been found out. Pardo breathed a sigh of relief and she could finally relax for a moment.

But when she turned around and saw Ninti's figure, Pardo suddenly froze.

There were many things she didn't understand.

There were also many questions she wanted to ask.

But, from all these questions, Pardo glanced at Ninti's hands which were covered in thick white bandages.

As if she knew what Pardo was watching, Ninti hid her arms behind her back.

"What... did they do to you?"

"That's ugly."

Sounds like an answer, but it's a different question and answer.

Ninti tried to hide her arms behind her back, but Pardo, who insisted, made a fuss.

In the end, Ninti could only let go of the bandages wrapped around her arms in resignation.

"This...."

The pair of arms were pitch black, dry like a dead tree, and there were several spines growing like the spines on a fish's fins.

Visually, it felt really disgusting.

Moreover, this dry tree-like texture is actually not hard, but very soft like a worm, and will squirm when touched.

"They say this is the result of the instability of the various Meta-Morphs within my body. It looks ugly, but it will surely disappear like the others."

"Every time after surgery, they will give me a bag of candy. Pardo, would you like one?"

Taking the candy from her pocket, perhaps realizing that her disgusting hands would dirty the candy she was holding, Ninti took the candy using her bandage.

Ninti gives sweets to pardo. However what she saw was pardo's eyes reddened, and she looked angry.

Very angry.

Ninti didn't understand.

But, she tried to understand.

"It's okay, they promised to let me go after a few more operations. They said that my potential can still be optimized again and again."

"I want to protect all of you, that's why I need power to make you feel safe."

"Pardo, can you say hello to sister Aponia? Tell her don't worry about me. I'm here fine."

Every time Ninti spoke, she seemed to be talking to herself.

The other party still has not responded.

"I will be right back."

"Wait for me."

In the end, Pardo lowered her head, and she left through the window again.

"....?"

Come uninvited and just leave.

Ninti also felt that pardo was very strange today.

Looking down at the candy in her hand, Ninti opened the wrapper, and she immediately ate it.

Same as usual...

It was still tasteless.

As a good girl, Ninti threw the candy wrapper into the trash bag.
