Aurora looked at the big hand in front of her, then looked up at Han Xiao's eyes and asked timidly, "Why did you come to save me?"
Han Xiao thought for a while and said, "Just think of me as a kind person."
"Who are you?" Aurora tilted her head.
"You can call me Zero," Han Xiao said casually.
Aurora's big watery eyes flashed with surprise. "So, you're Uncle Zero."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. The title of uncle made him feel like he was kidnapping a little girl.
Cyberlos hesitated for a while and reminded him, "She's been brainwashed. If you want to save her, you better pay attention to this."
Brainwashing?
He knew about this rumor, but Aurora did not look like she was brainwashed. Han Xiao's eyes flashed and said, "Tell me more."
"We have a few brainwashing methods," Cyberlos said softly. "Destructive methods to remodel the personality, gentle methods to distort the mind, and recently, we've been researching the chip … but there hasn't been much progress."
"Which one am I?" Han Xiao was interested.
Cyberlos immediately broke out in cold sweat. He braced himself and said, "I've seen your file. When we picked you up, you were already heavily injured and unconscious. You had obvious symptoms of amnesia. When you became a test subject, we used a gentle brainwashing method because we valued your brain, and because you were muddle-headed."
This was within Han Xiao's expectations. Back then, Lin Wei Xian had tormented him with conflicting images and sound effects for half a day, and anyone with an Intelligence of more than ten would be immune to it. Thinking about it, Han Xiao assumed that it was not some kind of destructive method. Since the matter was already over, Han Xiao did not have any thoughts of rejoicing in the aftermath.
"Her sister is a powerful executive. Her superpower is very special, and she has a special position in the organization. Because of this, Aurora's brainwashing is a gentler method. She keeps her original mind and maintains her normal personality, but once she says certain sensitive words, her brainwashed personality will be replaced and she will completely listen to orders."
Han Xiao roughly understood. Although Aurora was important, she was firmly under control, so there would not be any accidents. Her sister Hella was a sharp knife, so Aurora's personality was left as a means to order Hella around. This kind of gentle brainwashing method had a chance to be removed, so it was not a big problem at all. Aurora was originally a weak little girl, so if her brainwashed personality was awakened, Han Xiao would just knock her out with a slap and be done with it … although this way, it would turn from kidnapping a loli to kidnapping a loli.
"Hey, wait, how do you know me?" Han Xiao suddenly came back to his senses.
"Sister tell me your story."
Why did Hila mention me out of the blue?
Han Xiao thought to himself. This little girl seemed to have a good impression of him. He did not know what Hella said to her. Strange, they should be enemies.
Aurora stood up shakily, put her little hand in Han Xiao's palm, and said, "Thank you for saving me. Please take me away."
Han Xiao was interested. "Aren't you afraid that I saved you to use you, just like the Germinal Organization?"
"Sister said that no matter how dangerous the future is, it is better than living a life worse than death." Aurora looked up, and her young face was full of seriousness.
Seeing that Aurora was so understanding, Han Xiao was also relieved. His understanding of Aurora was limited to the rumors in his previous life. The opportunity for Aurora to be known by players was because after she was made into a potion, there was a side mission to investigate the source of the potion and find out about Aurora's deeds.
Therefore, he did not know about Aurora's personality. Originally, he thought that it would take some effort, but he did not expect it to be so smooth.
If they wanted to communicate, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now was obviously not a good time to talk.
The cameras in this area were fixed, so it was impossible to hide forever. Time was precious.
Han Xiao moved all the corpses in, took off a white coat and a mask from one of them, and disguised Aurora. Aurora obediently followed his instructions.
When his palm touched the bony body, Han Xiao realized how thin and weak Aurora was. Her pitiful appearance could easily make people feel pity for her. However, an old guy like Han Technician did not have much emotion. After the disguise was done, he turned to Cyberlos and said, "Take us to the underground tunnel. I promise we will not kill you when we are safe. The Six Nations like talents like you very much. You can still get funding for research from them."
The escape route with Aurora naturally could not be the main entrance. The underground headquarters was connected to many underground tunnels, which were underground tracks for transporting resources and personnel. It was like an open spider web.
The plan was to use Cyberlos as a hostage and use his authority to leave the headquarters through the underground tunnels. In order to make Cyberlos cooperate, Han Xiao gave him a reassuring promise.
Although Cyberlos was unwilling to abandon his research in the Germinal Organization, at least he did not have to die. He could accept it and even felt relieved.
The Germinal Organization was a big ship that was about to sink. To be able to change the deck at this juncture and rely on the winning side might be a better choice.
Just as he was about to set off, Han Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks. He realized that Aurora's small body was still too eye-catching, even if she disguised herself. He had an idea, and he took out an empty shoulder bag and said, "Sorry to trouble you. Come in."
Aurora obediently did as she was told and crawled into the bag.
As the zipper closed, her vision became pitch black. She could only feel herself being lifted up and moved.
"Sister …" Aurora curled up in the bag with her hands in front of her chest and prayed.
…
The three of them quickly passed through the various floors and headed toward the underground tunnel.
At the same time, the leader who was listening to the battle situation analysis took out his phone.
"There are traces of the mainframe data being accessed. Operator, Cyberlos, accessed a lot of secrets …" The leader narrowed his eyes and became suspicious. He said to his assistant, "Find Cyberlos' location and transfer the surveillance footage to my computer."
Immediately, the leader controlled the computer, entered the backend command, and entered the host system. Looking at the operation traces, he immediately discovered that Cyberlos had turned off the various defense measures. The surveillance footage was also turned over, and Cyberlos entered the host room with another person.
The leader's eyes were cold. He immediately determined that Cyberlos was being threatened. This stranger was most likely Zero. He did not step into his trap and used other means to sneak in.
"But … as long as you're here, don't even think about leaving."
The leader quickly gave the order. "Send all Executive Officers on standby to surround Area C-11 and the underground tunnel entrances 3 to 11. Act in secret and don't alert the enemy."
To be safe, the leader did not turn on the alarm of the headquarters. He wanted to secretly set up a death trap for Zero to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
In a lounge of the underground headquarters, a group of Executive Officers were playing cards in boredom.
"Waiting for orders every day is so boring. I really want to go to the battlefield," one of them said.
"What's so good about the battlefield? There's danger everywhere. With those Inhumans and super soldiers as cannon fodder, why would we need to risk our lives?" someone sneered.
"Super soldiers, heh, a bunch of monsters even more disgusting than the Inhumans. They're all half-finished trash," someone said with disdain. Proper Supers did not care about these mass-produced soldiers.
Beside them, Hella sat on the sofa in the corner with an indifferent expression. She closed her eyes and kept everyone at arm's length. She did not care about anyone, and no one cared about her. She was not in the lively atmosphere either.
All of a sudden, Hila opened her eyes and turned to look in a certain direction. Shock, anger, and shock filled her eyes.
The life imprint that she had left on Aurora's body had moved!
