God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Chapter 121: Escaping From The Experiment Site

Linsley gave the man a cold, calculating look. "No, but I can take on you."

He imagined chains that could seal both the man's power and his ability to resist.

With a thought, Heavenly Sealing Chains materialized, wrapping tightly around the man's body, glowing faintly with an aura that suppressed any attempt to break free.

The chains coiled around him, sealing away his Flux and Gift.

The man's eyes widened in shock as he struggled in vain against the chains. "What is this...?" he gasped, feeling his strength drain away as the chains tightened.

Linsley sneered. "You might've revealed your Gift, but I'm not dumb enough to do the same."

The man's face contorted with anger, but Linsley's gaze grew cold, indifferent.

He was done playing games. The time for mercy had long passed.

Linsley closed his eyes for a brief moment, focusing his thoughts on a weapon—a gun that could kill any target with a single shot to the head.

A sleek, black pistol materialized in his right hand, the cold metal feeling solid and reassuring in his grip. It felt natural, like it had always been a part of him, an extension of his will brought to life.

He raised it with precision, the barrel gleaming faintly in the dim light as he aimed it directly at the man's forehead.

For a brief moment, the cold steel caught the light of the collapsing facility, and the man in the lab coat looked truly terrified.

Linsley's voice was low and dangerous as he spoke. "You like playing with lives, don't you? Let's see how you like it when the tables are turned."

The man in the lab coat remained frozen, powerless and speechless, as Linsley's finger hovered over the trigger. His fate was sealed—both by the chains and by Linsley's judgment.

Before pulling the trigger, Linsley cast one final, indifferent glance at the man. "You should've known better."

Without hesitation, Linsley fired the shot.

Lucy gently laid Ted on the ground, brushing the hair away from his face.

She looked up at Linsley. "Do you think he'll be okay?"

Linsley crouched down beside her, observing Ted's sleeping form. "He'll be fine. His Gift was awakened too suddenly, but once he learns to control it, he'll be stronger than ever."

He stood up and turned his back to the forest, scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger. "But we won't have much time. The people running that facility will be after us soon."

Lucy sat down next to Ted, folding her knees up to her chest. "Why us, Linsley? Why are they doing this to children?"

Linsley's gaze darkened as he looked ahead. "They've been using vulnerable people like us—orphans, people without any protection—as materials for their experiments. They're trying to forcefully awaken Gifts. Most of the subjects who haven't awakened their Gifts are children, and without any legal guardians, it's easy for these organizations to take advantage of them."

Lucy's expression mirrored his, her crimson eyes sharp with understanding. "So those older kids at the orphanage... they were being tortured because they hadn't awakened yet."

Linsley nodded. "That's likely why they were still there. Compared to us, who managed to awaken in the first experiment, they probably endured rounds of experiments, and still nothing. We may have suffered, but it was a blessing in disguise—we gained powerful Gifts."

A heavy silence followed, both of them avoiding the unspoken truth about the children still left behind.

Linsley could sense Lucy's hesitation, but he knew they shared the same resolve.

They hadn't saved those test subjects in the underground complex. It was selfish, but the only ones they could trust were each other.

Any attempt to rescue more people would only slow them down or get them killed.

"We did what we had to," Linsley muttered, mostly to himself.

He knew they couldn't dwell on what they hadn't done.

After a moment, Lucy broke the silence, her voice quieter. "After everything we've seen... we can only rely on each other."

Linsley nodded again, his mind already racing ahead to their next steps. "Yeah, we'll stick together. We'll figure out what to do next."
