A giant canine beast with a body of three meters fell to the ground with a thud, the back of its head pierced by a two-centimeter-thick branch, and its two gray eyes dispersed into a mist, and the eyes that could no longer be closed were permanently staring ahead—it did not blink a blind eye.

A small, dirty figure jumped down from the back of its neck and fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust, and it was a long time before the little one got up from the ground.

It was a little girl, with half-length black hair up to her neck, and blood and dirt all over her body. She stood there and breathed her breath, limping towards the metal door beside her.

"Tick-"

As soon as the cold chime fell, the metal door slid open a gap.

A brown-haired middle-aged man in a white lab coat looked satisfied as he fixed his gaze on the screen that was pulsating with data.

His new assistant was standing at the door of the sterile room waiting.

After a dozen seconds, the small figure staggered out of the door, and stood very obediently on a white floor tile without moving.

The smart identity ring on her wrist is engraved with four raised characters: E-11, which is her number and name in the Garden of Eden.

E-11 was a little embarrassed, she had just been rinsed in the sterile room, her body was ticking with water, her wet hair was sticking to her head, her pale little body was mottled with countless old wounds, and the hideous blood hole on her arm that had been bitten by a dog was covered with scattered gray-green mosses to stop bleeding, and at this time it had coagulated into a new scab.

The girl who didn't look very old looked cute, with curved eyebrows, big eyes, a big nose and a small mouth, but there was no look in those eyes, and there was no expression on her little face, just staring down at the pair of shoes that were at least size 43 stopped in front of her.

This is an adult male.

Realizing this, her breathing jerked and then became rapid.

Her half-length black hair was pressed against the side of her face, her face was distinctly pale, her bloodless lips trembled slightly, and she stiffened her body and let the assistant in front of her pick her up and put her on the bench.

The icy cold air invaded the body from the contact surface between the skin and the metal countertop, and the high body temperature due to the fever was slowly withdrawn.

Eleven looked numbly at the shadowless lamp above, and the sharp burning pain in his arm was subconsciously blocked by his brain...... Her wounds, which had been treated briefly after the battle, had a slight infection, and were being removed by her assistants to remove the dead tissue, disinfect it, and re-bandage it.

The previous assistant in charge was obviously a woman, so I don't know when it was changed!?

She tensed and didn't move, pursed her lips and waited quietly for the wound to be healed, every cell in her body was shouting for an attack! Attack! Attack! …… Or - run! Flee the !! at all costs

Eleven tried so hard to suppress the impulses in her heart that her body was swinging slightly, and she had to warn herself in her heart over and over again.

No...... No, not to attack someone in a white coat, or the keepers of the Garden of Eden will punish her, and she will never want to experience that feeling of despair again.

Can't escape...... There were people who wanted to escape from this laboratory before who were rectified very badly, but if she did this, it was likely that she would not even have a chance to be rectified, but was directly sent by him to be destroyed.

for she was brought out of the place of destruction by him.

The shadowless light was too dazzling, and a tear slowly flowed from the corner of E-11's eye, still looking straight up with her eyes open, the white shadow swaying in the afterglow, and she could finally reluctantly accept the presence of her new assistant.

The little girl was lying on the laboratory table, looking very petite and fragile, and she blinked for a long time, and when she looked closely, the black pure eyes had no focus at all, as if she was recalling something.

*

Her previous supervisor was a very gentle young man, who liked to carry her to sit on the bench, and tell her many stories in a soft, clear voice while giving her anesthetics.

For example, a creature called the ugly duckling, who was rejected by a group of ducklings because of its ugliness, went through many hardships and dangers after leaving the group alone, and turned into a white swan after surviving the cold winter.

Little Eleven doesn't know what kind of cub duck is, and he doesn't understand what winter is, and he doesn't know what kind of animal the white swan is, and whether the attack power is strong or weak? Where are the weaknesses? Carnivorous or vegetarian? What is the method used to kill a single blow?

She didn't like to listen to stories, but she liked his smooth and soft voice like a musical instrument, which made Eleven feel like a human being rather than something that could be destroyed at any time.

Before the anesthetic took effect and she fell asleep, she seemed to hear the sigh of the former person in charge, light but mixed with unspeakable heaviness, which made her feel very strange.

- Can the person in charge of their life and death like a god also have worries in his heart?

The word god was taught to Eleven by H-108, who had just been transferred to the person in charge, and 108 explained to her with a look of disdain that God was nothing more than a being who would ignore all the prayers that people made due to their suffering.

God is very powerful, and ordinary people think that he can easily control the life and death of others, so even if people do not actually get protection from him, they will still have fear and admiration for this existence.

If there is a god, it is probably the people in charge of the Garden of Eden.

Maybe the Keeper is a demigod?

She didn't know what the previous head of charge was doing, and unlike many of the people in charge, he would tell the 'materials' what was going to be done to them, watching their desperate expressions satisfy her sick, complex desires.

The former person in charge would only tell her stories and play with her when she was awake, and would not say anything about the project, and when she laughed, he would smile and touch her little head to give her anesthetic, and wait for her to fall asleep before conducting experiments.

He was a very eccentric person in charge, but Eleven loved this warmth from others, and loved and cherished it very, very much, and this kind of beauty that she had never experienced in the Garden of Eden made her desperately indulge in it.

When she woke up, she was often sent to the observation room for physical tests, and although the wounds on her body were painful, the development of her abilities was already accompanied by pain. What's more, her person in charge is so friendly and kind, and everything that was originally terrible doesn't seem so unbearable.

It was the first time in her long history in the Garden of Eden that she had known that there was something like an anesthetic that could escape the pain, and that she had only been able to get a moment of peace and warmth in her dreams.

In the dream, she wasn't called Eleven, she seemed to have a nice name, but she couldn't remember what it was.

She also seems to have a big swing.

She sat on the swing and swayed very high, I don't know who she was shaking her little fist to say that she was going to grow up quickly, and the little white dress flew up and down like a heavy petal, happy like a little angel.

When I opened my eyes, the cold ceiling, the cold hard bed, the smell of blood, the dull pain of the wound, the heavy atmosphere, and the heart of the heart that I was worried about whether I could survive the day today......

The dream fades, it's reality.

It's been so much time, and so many things have happened in between, that the vague impression is because it was the only memory she had of before she was seven years old.

And she's sixteen now.

Although it looks like he is only five or six years old.

Those days were the easiest and happiest times for her in memory, but unfortunately it lasted for a short time, only a month and a half.

All light was extinguished.

For the first time in her life, after she expressed her desire to grow up well, the former person in charge was stunned for a while, and hugged her tenderly, with an expression of pity and compassion and sadness - he always treated her like this.

It's just that this time the emotion is a little stronger, so thick that she can't breathe, she thought she could get a candy through his unbearable help as before.

E-11 is not a greedy child, a candy is enough to taste a week's happiness, and it is enough to show off in front of his friends and gain a lot of envious eyes.

But he just put on a new white robe for her, and looked at her eyes with some bright and complicated light and shadow, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Pleasure!?

This was so abnormal that the little girl was a little uneasy, and she could only sit on the metal table and clasp her hands in fear.

He said, "Thank you for your cooperation, and in order to reward you, I have freed you from this hell." ”

Eleven didn't quite understand what hell was, but vaguely felt that it was a hopeless place.

As soon as she wanted to ask what liberation meant, she saw the person in charge, whom she had trusted and loved most since she was a child, mark her on her profile panel, crushing all her hopes with his own hands and pushing her into real hell.

The child's immature little face turned pale in an instant.

Disbelief and despair spread through E-11's body.

Before she was taken away by the guards with cold hands and feet, no matter how she wailed and cried, she promised that she would be obedient, and that she would change her mistakes...... The former person in charge was unwavering, he just calmly and smiled as she was forcibly removed.

The moment his face disappeared behind the door, Eleven seemed to see the ease on his face, as if he had finally completed some task.

A basin of cold water poured over the head.

No wonder he never told her what the experimental project was, because everything he did was part of the project - guiding and controlling her mental state, exploring whether the simulated emotions could hide her emotional radar ability.

At that moment, Eleven really understood that the affection, tenderness, and care he showed for her were all fake, and one day they would dissipate like a bubble.

Blame herself for having extravagant hopes for these warm feelings, ignoring the weak alarm of her ability.

The unrealistic illusion that someone with an unequal status would be nice to her would only lead her to her death, she was just an object that could be discarded and destroyed.

Xiao Eleven was dressed in a white robe, and she was incredibly intact in a group of various 'materials' that were struggling and screaming or mutilated or mutated, but her already incomplete spiritual world was even more fragmented.

In this world where everyone avoids being eliminated and destroyed, survival is the highest order, and no one cares whether the mental situation that cannot be seen or touched is good or bad.

Even Eleven himself doesn't care.

The child just watched in silence as everyone was grabbed by the black-clad guards one by one according to the destruction sequence generated that day, tied to the conveyor belt, and sent away.

She didn't resist, she didn't struggle, she didn't feel sadness or feel sadness, she just quietly immersed herself in despair.

When the defenders came to catch her, the little girl took the initiative to open her hand, saving them a lot of trouble, and put her on the conveyor belt with little weight.

The good thing about being well-behaved is that they don't tie her up and send her to the slaughter line like a cow or sheep to be slaughtered.

Although there is not much difference either.

Little Eleven's inner world was a dark world that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, someone took a spoon and hollowed out a large piece of her heart, she twitched in pain, and the vacancy was filled by the gray mist, becoming cold and numb.

Whether it's pleading or scolding, crying or screaming, all the sounds will be silenced in the small door at the end of the conveyor belt, so why waste your efforts.

Eleven's two little hands were holding each other, and his small body stood very straight, giving himself the last bit of warmth and dignity, and the expression on his little face was almost as gloomy as death.

She should have known that since no one could leave the Garden of Eden, the end of her life would be nothing more than a hut at the end of the conveyor belt, just a matter of time or time.

On that day, the current person in charge, Deputy Feng, appeared in front of her.

He asked her if she could finish the project without crying, screaming, or running away while she was finishing the project. If he could, he would take her away. But if she violates the rules, he will immediately send her back and destroy her in the most brutal way possible.

She looked at the tall and expressionless middle-aged man standing in front of her, the vitality that existed in death made her so excited that her soul trembled, and she gently put her little hand on his outstretched big hand almost without thinking, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay." ”

As long as she can live, she can ask for anything.

He took E-11 by the hand and sent her to the M-2 test subject camp, allowing her to start a new life that was not a new life, and it had been more than two years now.

*

"Alright." A male voice brought Eleven's consciousness back.

I moved my arm and found that it was very tightly bandaged. With a stretch of her hand, she neatly rolled over from the laboratory table that was taller than her and landed on the ground, looking up at the person in charge in front of her.

The person in charge glanced at her lightly, handed her a bottle of milky white nutrient solution, watched her move eagerly poured the whole bottle into her stomach before she started, and before she could react, he quickly stretched out his hand to jam her neck, and the syringe went straight into her delicate neck.

Eleven's little body trembled slightly in pain, hissed softly, and the small hand at his side tightly grasped the robe.

She could clearly feel the cold liquid that had been injected into her body slowly dissolving her otherwise fluid source energy—which was bound to make her strength drop significantly.

Isn't it the next experiment to eliminate her source energy to allow her to fight monsters based on her physical fitness alone? She thought silently.

The needle was pulled out, and the adult inserted a small sign monitor into her before removing her hand, and Xiao Eleven instantly lost support and staggered to the ground.

Only then did she realize that her physical fitness was also deteriorating, and she looked at the ground in a daze, and cold sweat slid down her forehead and fell to the floor.

If she continues to be so vulnerable, she will most likely die in battle next time.

The sound of various instruments humming in her ears drilled into her head, causing her brain to buzz with it.

"Stand up." The person in charge ordered in a cold voice.

Eleven pressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, she couldn't guess the thoughts of the person in charge, and she didn't need to guess, she just needed to know that she could live by following orders.

The young girl felt a fine pain explode from her body, washing over her nerves in waves, and she had to support herself with trembling arms and endure everything, trying to move her weak legs, no matter how difficult it was, she kept trying, and fell several times in the middle before she barely got to her feet.

Having lost her strength, she was just an ordinary little girl, so small that she couldn't protect herself.

Taking the white robe from the assistant standing nearby, Eleven struggled to control her trembling arms, and slowly put the white robe with her number on her left chest, which gave her a fragile sense of security.

There were fifty-three 'materials' that were transferred to the hands of the current person in charge, Deputy Feng, with her, and hundreds of people who joined in the middle, and there were only eleven left in more than two years, and he was the person in charge of the 'Garden of Eden' with the highest damage rate.

He is more demanding on the 'material' of his childhood, but he is also more generous.

Harsh in his liking that they have no sense of resistance, no emotional reaction, and complete obedience to his mission orders, so that even if the task is not completed well that day, he will not send them to destruction.

But for many children, each of them is too difficult.

As long as the young 'materials' are well-behaved and obedient, at the end of the project, you will always get an all-you-can-drink nutrient solution to replenish energy and repair the body, and you will have a greater chance of surviving in the next project of the person in charge.

Adult 'materials' are not so lucky, as long as the project is not completed, they will always be picked by the person in charge, and then she will most likely never see them again in the 'Garden of Eden'.

Although only three of the original nineteen juvenile 'materials', including her, survived, the reflexes, physical strength, and even the source abilities of the three of them had increased very rapidly.

She still remembered that Vice Feng had condescendingly watched them twist and struggle on the ground in pain due to drug reactions, but they clenched their teeth tightly and did not make a sound, and said with a cold smile on their faces: "This is the reward for survival." ”

He can give them great strength, and naturally he can take it back at any time.

"You can go back." Deputy Feng motioned for his assistant to stuff a candy in E-11's hand, and he was pleased with her performance on the mission.

Little Eleven was silent and tightly grasped the small candy in his hand, as if holding the most precious treasure. The nutrient solution in the 'Garden of Eden' is so good that it is many times more difficult to obtain candy than it is to obtain the highest level of nutrient solution.

She walked out with difficulty, leaning against the wall and staggering down the path the 'materials' were supposed to take back to the quarters.

As soon as she opened the door and walked into the room with the smart bracelet, she fell into a small but warm embrace, and Eleven's small body suddenly stiffened.

She clenched her fists and was about to smash it down, but when she saw the appearance of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, she slowly lowered her hand raised in mid-air, her vigilance faded slightly, and she gradually relaxed her body.

"Did you get anything good this time, Little Eleven, share it with us~" The girl let go of the hand holding Xiao Budian with a smile, didn't care about her movements, and bent down slightly to look at the expressionless E-11 and said.

The H-108 designation on the girl's white robe was folded and unfolded as she moved.

E-11 lowered his head and exhaled slowly, sliding down on the ground with his back against the closed iron door, trying to open his hand to reveal the candy.

Her eyes were half-open sleepily, the potion had caused her energy to drop dramatically, and she was in desperate need of rest now.

E-11 doesn't skimp on sharing things with people she likes, and H-108 has been kind to her since the first day she comes in, and she will certainly give back.

H-108 doesn't seem to have been caught doing experiments, and Little Eleven has never been jealous, and said to Chubby that she wants to cover for the little sister, and if other adults in the dormitory area ask, they will help her fool her.

Not everyone can watch others escape from suffering while they themselves can only sink.

Eleven herself doesn't smile anymore, but she likes to watch H-108 laugh, so the sun has no haze, which is completely different from the gray hue of 'Eden'.

She hopes that the time when the young lady has no worries and worries can be longer, longer.

The girl's face softened, knowing how much this child cherished the hard-won candy, she reached out and rubbed Eleven's head, "I'm just teasing you, you can keep it for yourself." ”

Eleven quickly withdrew her hand without hesitation when she heard this, she didn't know what politeness was, and if others didn't want it, she would believe it.

"Eleven, we have a plan, maybe we can leave ......!" A chubby teenage boy leaned over and lowered his voice, "...... Open here" Before the three words were finished, E-11, who suddenly raised his head, stretched out his small hand and slapped him in the face, making a crisp sound.

The boy covered his face and was stunned at first, but did not get angry, but watched worriedly as the little girl with tired and dark eyes quickly ripped off her white robe, and ripped off the instrument inserted in her heart with a flashing indicator light, bringing out a small string of splattered blood, and she did not feel the pain and scrapped the small instrument hammer.

"Be careful." Little Eleven's voice was a little hoarse because she hadn't spoken for a long time, she pushed away the little fat who was going to help her, propped herself up and staggered to her bed, her eyes were almost open, and the heavy fatigue made her fall asleep almost instantly.

"She's doing this to you, aren't you angry?" H-108 poked at the little fat man with a complicated face next to him and asked curiously.

"Eleven's strength is wrong, how can she be so weak." The little fat man's face turned a little pale and muttered to himself.

H-108 is full of question marks, and he is worried that others are using too little force when he is beaten, what is the logic? After staying in the underground research institute for a long time, do these cubs have something wrong with their heads?

The next second, the little fat man's face changed, and he pulled the girl and ran into the room, and then squatted down with her, hiding himself clumsily, he was so frightened that his voice was trembling, "Eleven destroyed the monitor, the defender is coming soon, and everyone may be finished." ”

H-108, who had been in this place for less than a month, shrank quietly when he heard the word 'Keeper'.

It's just that the girl looks different from the other people who live in the camp, and most of their faces are filled with fear and lifelessness, while she only frowns and feels troubled and disgusted.

The girl thought in her heart, it seems that the plan has been planned in advance.

She quietly asked the little fat man, "Why did Little Eleven attract the Guardians?" ”
