Life at the base was monotonous, and the atmosphere there even made everyone feel uneasy.
Nanachi's rationality and knowledge filled the void in Mitty's unease and confusion.
Mitty's enthusiasm and unconditional trust also made Nanachi feel the warmth of friendship.
Therefore, even if life is dull and boring, as long as you have friends around, everything will become interesting and happy.
One night, Portoldo called Mitty away.
Nanachi discovered that Podoldo had secretly taken Mitty away, and because she was worried about Mitty, she secretly followed him.
Then, Nanachi discovered that Podoldo had recruited so many children just to be his test subjects.
And Mitty and Nanachi themselves are the next test subjects.
Portordo has found a way to grant humans the "blessing" of the abyss, thereby making them immune to the rising load.
But this "blessing" requires the two children to go together to a specific location in the fifth level, the "Sea of the Dead"—the organ of prayer.
This location is actually the entrance to the sixth level, the "City of No Return".
Portoldo's experiment was based on the principle of connecting two children through a curse-carrying device he invented.
Then let them move up from the sixth floor to the fifth floor.
During this process, due to the laws of the abyss, as one of the children ascends from the sixth level, one of them will bear the burden of ascending along with the other child because of the device.
That is, the sixth level, "loss of humanity or death".
Through such cruel experiments, perhaps the survivors can receive the blessing of the abyss.
Simply put, it's about exploiting bugs.
Upon hearing this, Nanachi was so frightened that she wanted to find Mitty and escape from there.
But... she's just a child, how could she possibly compare to Bordor, who is the White Flute?
Nanachi was captured very quickly.
Moreover, the experiment happened to require two children, so Bordor ruthlessly chose them as the subjects of this experiment.
Nanachi and Mitty were placed in two separate glass experimental chambers, less than a meter apart.
The two children sat silently inside the experimental chamber.
Nanachi knew the truth, knew that Mitty would be tortured, and that she would bear the burden of her rising status.
Mitty might lose her humanity, or even die!
The two experimental modules were deployed to the sixth floor using a traction device.
Outside the experimental chamber, countless deformed monsters were baring their fangs and claws, pounding on the glass.
"These...these are!"
Nanachi looked at the monsters outside in horror.
She knew what these were; these monsters were called monstrous creatures, and she had read about them in a book.
The living corpse is a monster that humans become due to the influence of the laws of the abyss.
They typically lack human consciousness, possessing only biological instincts.
It is a hopeless end for cave explorers.
Then... why are there so many skeletons here?
The answer is already obvious.
These were all failures of the Bordor experiment.
These remains are countless children.
Countless children were used in experiments by Bordor!
They instinctively pounded on the glass, their contorted bodies revealing distorted expressions.
“…That’s it, that’s it!”
These undead creatures, seemingly acting out of biological instinct, were greeting Nanachi and Mitty.
Nanachi's body began to tremble, her heart pounded, and her hands were covered in sweat.
Something seemed to be flowing from the corner of my eye.
At that moment, Mitty suddenly shouted at Nanachi.
"Nanachi, Nanachi!"
Nana wiped away her tears and looked at Miti.
Mitty forced a smile at Nanachi, suppressing her grief.
"It's okay. It's okay!"
“I will endure it, so… if I lose my humanity…”
Mitty kept smiling, but tears were already streaming down her face.
It kept sliding down.
"Please, please... let my soul return to Nanachi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the experimental cabin was pulled into motion by the traction device.
It began to rise rapidly.
The increased load will arrive immediately...
Bordor himself activated the traction device; he had lost count of how many times he had performed this kind of experiment.
But it failed almost every time.
After all, he was using human power to fight against the laws of the abyss.
He was a great scientist whose experiments made outstanding contributions to humanity.
Whether on the surface or among cave explorers, his technology is used. Through Portordo's technology, countless people have been able to survive in the abyss, and humans on the surface have also gained convenience in their lives.
When it comes to contributions to humanity, Portoldo is undoubtedly the most deserving of praise as the "White Flute"—the great Lord of Dawn…
"So, you think it's noble to complete your experiments by sacrificing innocent children?"
Suddenly, a young but cold voice came from behind Podoldo.
Beneath Portold's mask, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He is Li Mingqing, the White Flute Cave Explorer, and this is his base.
But suddenly someone appeared behind him, and he didn't react at all.
...This is somewhat terrifying.
Portoldo slowly turned around and looked behind him.
Then he saw a girl wearing a white short dress, with blonde hair, and holding a shotgun.
Upon seeing that it was a little girl, Li Mingqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She's just a little girl.
"Oh? Who are you—"
——Bang! ! !
Without warning, the shotgun fired a large number of bullets, hitting Li Mingqing.
Portoldo's head exploded, along with the mask.
"Xia Shi, Senju Xia Shi... Anyway, you can't hear me anymore."
This girl is Xia Shi, one of the children who left Earth with Sheila in the "Black Bullet".
Xia Shi sighed and threw the shotgun on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Rentaro... I guess I'm still numb to the idea of killing..."
"Grrrrrr!"
Xia Shi quickly shook his head, then clenched his two little fists and muttered to himself.
"No, no, this beast isn't human, so I defeated a monster!"
"That's it!"
With such excitement, Xia Shi also smiled.
Then she looked up and inexplicably started talking to the air around her.
"please!"
"There are many unpleasant things in this world, in this abyss—let's take these children away together and purify this place together!"
In that deserted space, a bird's song echoed, responding to Xia Shi.
In the abyss, at the bottom of that abyss of despair.
A white beam of light shot into the sky.
Countless children who were transformed into living corpses became a beam of light and flew into the sky.
Above the abyss, a giant white bird was circling around it!
Surrounding the white bird, countless golden stars are singing, welcoming more children to join them!
The curses, pollution, and even the laws of the abyss.
They were all purified and transformed under such light.
Countless cave explorers trapped in the abyss discovered that the curse on their bodies had disappeared, as had the ascent burden.
The abyss is no longer hostile, and the ecosystem here has become more peaceful.
Xia Shi also transformed into a beam of light once more and flew towards Xila.
Nanachi and Mitty opened their eyes; they did not experience any side effects from the increased workload.
They looked around curiously and found themselves among stars, surrounded by countless children, and with a white bird watching them.
