Pulled by the particle arm, Qiu Shui regained consciousness and looked up blankly, asking, "Am I going to die?"
"Won't."
The electronic butler gave a simple answer.
"I will protect you, Miss."
As he spoke, he created a particle shield for Qiu Shui, and at the same time killed a black sorcerer who had caught up with him, turning his body to ashes.
With the dust covering her feet, Qiu Shui stood up and used icicles to bombard the wall behind her, clearing a path out.
She stepped forward first, and the butler dealt with the few people chasing after her, then followed her to another factory building.
After taking a few steps, Qiu Shui suddenly stopped, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
"Since the Snow Woman is here, then Gui Gui and everyone else must be here too. I must find them." Hope rekindled in Qiu Shui's heart.
"well……"
The electronic butler sighed, though it was unclear what it was lamenting.
Perhaps he had foreseen today's outcome long ago, since the first time Qiu Shui had to sacrifice his own food, clothing, and daily necessities to save money to buy clothes for the shikigami.
Her heart was split into several pieces, containing not only herself and her closest relatives, but also many other people.
Hope ignited in her heart, and her eyes, though clouded with sadness, were now filled with courage.
"Let's go."
She was the first to start running.
Finding a few familiar faces among a group of young children is not an easy task.
These children living in glass jars had distorted faces and exuded an aura of death. Even though Qiushui knew her shikigami very well, she couldn't help but get lost here.
After comparing for a long time, Qiu Shui couldn't find anything familiar among these children, and she became increasingly panicked.
With time running out and the situation likely to be discovered by more people, leading to the summoning of more black witches, Qiu Shui finally couldn't help but ask the steward for help.
"Butler, do you know how to find them?"
The electronic butler was silent for a moment, then made a "negative" gesture.
“An isolated case is ultimately an isolated case,” he said.
The reason why the Snow Woman was discovered by Qiu Shui and tracked down to this place, and why they were able to meet in reality after learning her true identity, is that the Snow Woman is a witch and has the ability to attract Qiu Shui.
However, it is unlikely that other shikigami, or their original forms, these children are born with magical powers.
Black witches wouldn't harm other black witches. If the girl's identity hadn't been so strange, those black witches wouldn't have included her as an "experiment."
They all understand this principle, but understanding it is one thing, giving up on it is another.
Qiushui knew perfectly well that finding her other shikigami here was like finding a needle in a haystack, but she just wouldn't give up.
The electronic butler was seeing her remain calm and focused on one thing even in the face of life and death for the first time, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
During this time, the black witches who rushed from around the factory quickly found them and began their attack.
While searching through the glass jars, Qiu Shui suddenly saw someone glaring at her from a distance and immediately realized what was happening.
With his mechanical gun and particle shield deployed simultaneously, the opposing black witch moved nimbly, likely due to her physical abilities.
What they lack most right now is energy. The gravity shield that can withstand their weight cannot be activated, and Qiu Shui's movements are severely hampered.
Suppressed by the black sorcerer and unable to penetrate his defenses, Qiu Shui was forced to hide in a dark room with the help of the butler.
Here, the black witch who had barged in with her also followed.
Qiu Shui hid in a corner, silently arranging sharp icicles in every possible place where he could land.
The black witch who entered did not expect her to possess witchcraft. When he, who was only wary of mechanical equipment and gun barrels, landed on the sharp ice and tried to struggle, it was too late.
Qiu Shui shot him in the head.
"call……"
He took a deep breath.
She stepped out from the corner.
With many of her high-tech devices restricted by energy, she was forced to this location. She couldn't detect whether any dark sorcerers were lurking outside, and she dared not venture out for the time being.
We can only rest here for a while and learn more about the situation here.
Thinking about it, Qiu Shui stood up and took out a thick book covered in dust from what appeared to be a very important safe.
Wiping away the dust, Qiu Shui gently opened the "book" and read the records in the dim light.
"In 2602... On this day, XX's family instructed XX to go to town to buy candy. XX, accompanied by his electronic butler, went to the supermarket alone. After buying the candy, XX ate a late-night snack at a nearby eatery. This was the last time XX appeared in people's sight, and then he disappeared."
"In 2601, at 8:30, as usual, XXX returned home. At 8:47, XXX went out to pick up a package at her mother's instruction. The package pickup location was four or five minutes away, but XXX did not return for a long time. XXX's mother called her electronic bracelet, but no one answered. XXX's mother went out to look for her again, but the service robot said that XXX had never been there at all. XXX has vanished from the face of the earth."
"On May 1, 2604, seven-year-old XX went shopping with his father. On the way home, he realized that he had forgotten his bracelet, so he turned back to get it, but he disappeared as soon as he entered the mall."
"2602..."
...
Such records appeared in this thick "book," and Qiu Shui covered her lips with both hands, trying not to let the sound of surprise and doubt from her mouth be too loud.
These children weren't originally sent from a fixed location!
After gaining this understanding, she took some more items out of the safe and found quite a few valuable things.
Combining this evidence and piecing it together, Qiu Shui learned one thing.
That's where these children came from, and their origins are not something to be proud of.
Back then, Banbu conducted a crazy human experiment. In order to find test subjects, the investors of the experiment secretly kidnapped children from all over the country and sent them to a small island where a super virus still existed at the time, hoping that no one would find them.
However, at that time, a strict investigation was being carried out throughout China, and pathogens were not allowed to exist anywhere. The search was very thorough.
Due to oversights in many aspects and investor negligence, the children were eventually discovered by personnel conducting inspections near the coast. Without any hesitation, they issued an order to kill them.
Armed forces quickly entered the island and ruthlessly slaughtered the children, eventually leaving the deserted island with their hands covered in blood.
At that time, the researchers were very anxious because it was illegal to use living people for experiments!
When they returned to the deserted island where the children were, they found only countless corpses and a few children who had survived by having their witch powers activated.
To cover up the horrific nature of the experiments, one of the researchers, who was a black sorcerer, bought Eternal Silence Island and used his special black sorcerer abilities to extract the children's consciousness in preparation for continuing the experiments.
