Chapter 1113 Stirring

"Huh... We're finally here. Although it's cold here in Siberia, the air is still quite fresh."

A new transport plane appeared over Siberia, the rear door opened, and a white-haired man and woman appeared on it.

"Theresa, do you think we are the last to arrive? Judging from the signals of others, it seems that they are already on the ground." Siegfried said to Theresa beside him while adjusting his equipment.

Theresa carried Judas on her back, looked up at the sky, then looked at the communicator in her hand to confirm the location of other teams.

"It looks like we're not the last to arrive, but we're almost there," she replied, exhaling a breath of cold air and tucking her little hands into the sleeves of her nun's uniform.

"Huh? You look cold. Do you want me to lend you my coat?" Siegfried raised his eyebrows coquettishly at Theresa, who rolled her eyes at him. "You are already an old man with a family and a career. Can you be more serious?"

"I'm really worried that you'll get cold. If you get sick and lie in bed, won't you need Zijing to take care of you? Oh, could it be that you did this on purpose... Wait wait! My arm! Let go! It's breaking! It's going to break!"

After a fight, the two jumped from the rear cabin of the transport plane and landed on the thick snow. The transport plane circled in the air for a while, and after confirming that they had landed safely, it adjusted its direction and flew to a nearby temporary base.

"Have you received the mission? No one responded on my communicator." Siegfried asked Theresa.

"Well, Siegfried, the two of us will act together and go to the Babylon Laboratory building to investigate." Theresa's own communicator had a bad signal and it looked a little strange. She didn't know what was going on over there.

"Just the two of us?" Siegfried asked.

"There are other companions. Let me see...it seems to be Miss Sakura and Miss Karen?" Theresa was a little happy. Putting aside the unfamiliar Yae Sakura, Miss Karen was very powerful.

"Wow... those two beauties?"

"...Siegfried, are you really not afraid that I will complain to Cecilia next time?"

"Sorry, sorry! Please forgive me! There won't be a next time!"

Theresa really could do nothing about this lecherous man. Although his temper had become a little more restrained after he got married and started a family, some things were like the body's instincts and could not be eradicated in a short period of time.

Well, Jing is still better. At least when a beautiful woman passes by him while he is shopping, he won’t subconsciously turn his head to look.

Then the two of them headed towards the laboratory. No one knew the situation in the laboratory at the moment, so except for a few soldiers including them, almost everyone was on guard and observing from the periphery. The transport plane just now chose to drop the two people at a slightly longer distance just in case.

The two passed by a forest. The concentration of Honkai energy here was more concentrated than in other places. Siegfried and Theresa both felt it, but they had no time to investigate. Even though they were curious, they continued to move forward.

"..."

Theresa and Siegfried walked on the snow, their footsteps were particularly clear in the silent Siberian wilderness. They also seemed to be chatting leisurely on the road, but no matter what time, Siegfried's hands were always on the double guns on his waist, and Theresa was always ready to attack Judas on her back.

"Siegfried, do you feel it?" Theresa kept walking and suddenly whispered to Siegfried.

"What?" Siegfried immediately became alert, his eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for possible threats.

"A feeling of being watched." Theresa observed her surroundings inconspicuously.

Siegfried carefully sensed nothing, but he did not relax his vigilance. He drew his weapon and carefully scanned the surroundings. There was no other movement except the whistling wind and the occasional sound of snow falling from the branches.

"Be careful." Siegfried whispered back.

Theresa nodded, and her steps became more cautious, each step as light as possible. She kept her eyes on the depths of the woods, holding Judas's chain tightly, ready to respond to any emergency.

But for some reason, no matter where Theresa turned her gaze, she could feel someone behind her, staring at the back of her head quietly.

It was a bit creepy, but when I turned around, I couldn't see anything. Even when I asked Siegfried to help check, he still found nothing.

The two continued to move forward, but the tension in the air became thicker and thicker. Suddenly, a slight sound of branches breaking broke the silence. Theresa and Siegfried immediately turned to the direction of the sound, but found nothing there.

"It could be the wind, or it could be..." Theresa's words were interrupted by a clearer sound before they could finish. This time, they really felt a breath in the bushes on their left.

Siegfried rushed in that direction, followed closely by Theresa. However, when they reached the bush, they found no signs of life except for the bent branches.

"Strange, is it our illusion?" Siegfried said doubtfully, but there was no relaxation of vigilance in his eyes.

Theresa shook her head. "No, I'm sure there's something here."

At this moment, a stronger sense of being watched came over them, and Theresa and Siegfried turned around almost at the same time, facing the other side of the woods. They saw a blurry shadow moving quickly among the trees, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it.

"Is that... a human? Chase!"

Theresa quickly unfolded the Judas on her back, and the golden chains bound him in the direction of the target, while Siegfried, with two guns in his hands, rushed towards the vague shadow like a cheetah.

The strange thing was that the golden chain went straight through the shadow in front without hitting the entity, and Siegfried's figure suddenly became blurred as it moved away.

"Wait! Siegfried!"

Theresa realized something was wrong and shouted immediately, but it was too late. With a burst of inexplicable fog, Siegfried, who was only a dozen meters away from Theresa, suddenly disappeared, leaving Theresa alone and the golden Judas stuck in the ground beside her.

The enemy's target... is not Siegfried, but himself!

Theresa felt that gaze appear behind her again, this time it was very close.

Before Theresa could let Judas attack from behind, a cold hand grabbed the back of her neck, and then her brain seemed to be stirred.

Where Theresa couldn't see, the black-haired boy was standing behind her, controlling her with one hand and reaching into her mind with the other, searching for the [memory] he needed.
