My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 336 This must be the power of the Grim Reaper!

While Roland was tinkering with the energy system, Kalia used her own strengths to explore the abandoned research institute.

Because of her innate magical ability, she could see everything clearly even in complete darkness.

She could see corpses and bones scattered all over the ground.

Although this made her a little uncomfortable, she was now someone who had seen it all before.

Some skeletons didn't scare her at all.

Even if these skeletons resurrect and jump up the next second, it will be the same.

She could tell that, just as Roland had said, everyone here must have died in an instant.

There were no signs of fighting or resistance, and the facilities and equipment were well preserved; in fact, the entire underground structure did not suffer any obvious physical damage.

Then, sensing the life force she perceived, she began searching through this enormous, sprawling underground mezzanine.

Just then, Roland fixed the lighting system and disabled all the access control.

Kalia was able to bypass the barriers and enter a dimly lit room with only a faint light source, without having to forcibly demolish the door.

There was only one thing in the room: a cylindrical metal hull about three meters high.

Without exception, inside each of these cabins was a naked girl with white hair.

They look largely similar, yet different, much like different stages of a person's life.

And these girls... were all corpses.

At least Kalia couldn't sense any living presence from them.

She hadn't actually told Roland the truth before.

She could indeed sense the presence of life, but it was different from Iluvia's ability.

As a witch of decay, Iluvia's innate magic is to manipulate the flow of life and souls. She is real and can sense the presence of the souls of the living.

As for Kalia... what she could taste was the flavor of "food".

This is the aftermath of that incident.

If it weren't for her ability to control whether it's on or off, she would have really lost her appetite.

Kalia looked at everything before her, the naked, white-haired girls curled up inside the jars—this perfectly fulfilled all her requirements for the evil scientist's human experimentation.

She never imagined that one day she would actually witness such a scene with her own eyes.

But there's no time for her to make any sentimental remarks right now.

The liquid inside the massive metal chamber had become turbid.

Even though she could only observe through the dark yellow glass outside the metal chamber, Kalia could tell with her naked eye and her own knowledge that these were probably the liquids used to sustain the experimental subjects' lives, and had lost their original function.

But she was soon surprised to find that one of these test subjects still tasted "fresh".

To put it simply, it means he's not dead yet.

She had heard Roland mention this place before; four hundred years was enough time for humanity to win the war against the Demon King.

After such a long time, Kalia found it hard to believe that the girl was still alive.

Leaning against a pool of vitamin fluid that's been expired for who knows how long?!

After that, she subconsciously called out to Roland, then realized that this was not the right thing to do.

Although they were just experimental subjects, the scene before me was indeed filled with the beautiful bodies of young girls.

Even though most of them were corpses.

So she quickly spoke up to stop them.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

Before Kalia could finish her change of address, Roland rushed to her side.

The next moment, Elena's figure appeared from the excessively beautiful spear in Roland's hand.

The Styx Ferryman, who is usually indifferent and aloof, and only shows some emotional fluctuations when facing Roland, now has a face full of pity and compassion, mixed with a little anger.

[What a pitiful child...]

It's hard to imagine what sustained her through an incredibly long period of time compared to human life.

Kalia was stunned when she saw Elena pop out of Roland's weapon.

what's the situation?
Could this be the legendary spirit of a weapon?
But why do I instinctively feel a sense of disgust when I'm facing her?

wrong!

When did Roland get another woman by his side?!

And her eyes are so similar to Iluvia's!

Elena had clearly noticed Kalia's gaze as well.

To be honest, Elena couldn't quite accept the idea that someone like Roland would have a half-god form by his side.

But who can blame this person for liking this guy who can't do anything but eat... Well, not exactly, at least this guy can cook and make alchemical potions.

But all in all, he's just a guy who doesn't think about anything except eating.

Hmph, what a woman who only knows how to waste this man's precious time.

However... if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to find a suitable body.

Then, a sound that only Roland could hear rang out.

Elena spoke slowly: "My lord, this child's life force is almost negligible."

"However, if you wish to save her life, I have a way."

"The soul within this child has not yet departed, although these liquids have lost their effect."

"But at least her physical body has been preserved." "Her soul needs nurturing, and I also need a body that can move freely, so that it will be easier for me to protect your safety."

“Normally I would enter this child’s body through a method of soul possession to protect and repair her fragile soul.”

"She is not a real life, but merely a tool created by humans using alchemy."

"I believe you can also see that this child is special."

"She was created as a backup model based on a prototype."

"She doesn't even possess the characteristics that a life should have."

"However... this test subject seems to be quite special."

“A soul was born from an empty shell that should not have been born.”

Elena paused for a moment, then continued, "But I did borrow her body to some extent, so as compensation, I will give her my power."

"When my mission is over, she will be able to walk in this world again as a true human being."

"My lord, what is your opinion?"

Roland looked at the girl inside the jar and laughed: "It seems I have no reason to refuse."

"But I have a question... What will happen to you after you possess me?"

"I'll be going back to the underworld to work overtime. There have been quite a few deaths recently, and I'm very busy with my work."

Elena's face turned somewhat resentful as she spoke: "So I even think that today's discovery was a carefully orchestrated adventure by Lord Death..."

"This is to ensure the best of both worlds: to guarantee your safety while also allowing me to go back to work overtime."

"After the possession is completed, this child will be able to freely allocate a portion of my power."

“And my consciousness will return entirely to the River Styx, instead of chatting with you while rowing on it like we are now.”

"While this is an option, it will inevitably slow down the work progress to some extent."

"After all, it's still very difficult to recruit workers in the underworld."

"Of course, if there are problems that cannot be solved... I will take over the child's body."

After hearing Elena's answer, Roland also felt that today's encounter seemed a bit too coincidental.

But he didn't care too much.

Just like Kalia thought, if they didn't find out, they could simply pretend it never happened.

But since I've seen it and can help, there's no reason not to, not to mention I can get something out of it.

"This child is just a prop. Although he has miraculously been born with a soul, he obviously could not have received any education."

"After the possession is complete, I will transfer some necessary memories and responsibilities to her."

"If you have no objections, I will proceed."

Roland nodded, and the conversation ended.

To Kalia, what had just happened was as if Elena had glanced at Roland, and then this lovely girl, who looked like a delicate porcelain doll and was so pitiful, had turned into a phantom and entered the body of the girl inside the metal can.

The next moment, a white dress appeared out of thin air on the girl, covering her body.

The tank shattered instantly.

The life-sustaining fluid, which poured out and carried a strong putrid smell, was condensed by Roland's telekinesis and then compressed into a high-pressure water ball the size of a fist.

Kalia, somewhat flustered, caught the girl who had fallen and carefully held her in her arms.

Kalia was somewhat disoriented at this moment; so much had happened in just a few minutes.

Her overloaded brain suddenly shut down when she was anxious.

Roland smiled, used his telekinesis to control the ball of sewage in his hand to fly out of the underground research institute and throw it deep into the forest. Then he looked at Kalia and said, "Take her back to the surface first."

"I'll look for research materials here to see if I can find out the child's true origins."

Kalia nodded, then led the girl with long white hair toward the ground.

At that moment, the Master Ball in Roland's storage ring flew out, and from it flew a terrifying bone dragon covered in dark purple flames—a mini version.

Hmm... mini version.

Only the kind that's the size of Roland's palm.

And it's even in chibi style.

It doesn't look that scary.

However, after the little bone dragon flew out of the Master Ball, it obediently flapped its bone wings and landed on the white-haired girl's shoulder.

He even nuzzled the girl's face affectionately.

[Benares, that's the dragon's name. It's Lord Death's pet... though I usually do the raising of it.]

It was quite affectionate towards me, perhaps because we're both girls.

In short, don't worry, just treat it like a normal pet.

[It will take some time for the possession to complete.]

Until this child can wield my power effectively, Bebe Dragon will take on the task of protecting her.

Okay, that's all for now, I have to get back to work.

Irena's voice trailed off abruptly. Roland looked at the bewildered Kalia and sighed, "It's alright, this is my... little pet."

"Don't be afraid of it, isn't it cute?"

Beibei Dragon: "Awoo!"

Kalia: “…”
