The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Come on, sister, let me feed you~~"

"I don't want to eat yours... Ugh!"

Mengmeng really wanted to kick over the food in front of her, but her hungry stomach wouldn't allow it, and she didn't have the ability to do so.

Finally, with a humiliated expression on her face, Mengmeng was forced to eat a piece of bread and the meat sandwiched inside by the white-haired girl 03.

However, although the meal was humiliating, it also calmed Mengmeng down completely, allowing her to think about what to do next.

After thinking for a moment, she disregarded who was behind White-Haired Girl 03 and said directly:

“You don’t dare kill me, right? Because you know very well that I have a very powerful friend, and you don’t want to bear her wrath.”

"Yes."

White-haired Girl 03 nodded calmly:

“Miss Emerald is powerful and willful. The Melson family is also the doctor’s biggest investor and supporter. Therefore, Miss Emerald is one of the people the doctor least wants to provoke. Otherwise, she would have been killed when you first infiltrated this place.”

"As expected, what bad guys fear most is never the law or law enforcement, but something stronger and worse than them... Hmph."

Mengmeng gave a complicated hum, then asked:

"So what do you plan to do with me? You're not going to just keep me locked up like this, are you?"

Chapter 199 Are You Human?

"If you want to leave, that's certainly possible."

Girl 03 seemed to have been prepared for Mengmeng's question. While answering, she directly took out a magic contract, opened it, and showed it to Mengmeng:

"As long as you sign this soul contract, I can let you go immediately."

"Soul contract? Hmph, as expected, you don't dare to kill me, so you resort to these tricks."

Mengmeng snorted dismissively:

"Let me guess... Does the contract require me to keep what's happening here a secret, and that my soul will perish if I reveal it? Why wouldn't I sign that... I can sign it right now!"

"It's not that simple, sister~~"

Girl 03 smiled and shook her head:

"The doctor said that you, sister, are a person full of justice and fearless of sacrifice. If the contract were only as you described, sister, I imagine you would have sacrificed your own soul to expose the doctor's actions... That's not right~~"

"Tsk."

Mengmeng was very unhappy that her thoughts had been seen through in advance:

"So, what are you planning to do with this contract?"

"Actually, it's not complicated at all~~"

As Girl 03 spoke, she pointed out the contents of the contract to Mengmeng:

"The agreement that my sister needs to keep is that after leaving here, she cannot reveal anything about this place to anyone in any way, nor can she investigate the disappearance of the magic-repelling cubs, nor can she interfere with the doctor's research in any way."

"Once you break the agreement, the power of the contract will turn into a curse, using your soul and all your magic as ammunition to indiscriminately curse and kill all human children who can be associated with you... Even just passing by you on the street will be cursed~~ And with the strength of your soul and magic, I estimate you can curse and kill at least 500 people."

"You...you are all so despicable!"

Mengmeng angrily rebuked him.

This contract struck her right at her weakness. She was not afraid to sacrifice herself and was prepared to give her life to stop old man Langdon, but she could not accept that it would also involve more than 500 completely innocent human children.

Signing this contract without breaking it means that Mengmeng will have to know what old man Langdon is doing but can only watch helplessly, which she also cannot accept.

"I will not sign this contract!"

Mengmeng stared fiercely at the contract in the girl 03's hand. If looks had destructive power, that contract would probably have been torn to shreds by now.

"Is that really the case?"

Unsurprisingly, Girl 03 put the contract away again.

“I’ve done the calculations, and the probability that you will sign this contract is no more than 16%... It seems that you will have to stay here as a guest for a while.”

"Visiting you? That's just imprisoning me."

Mengmeng scoffed at this claim:

"How long do you plan to keep me locked up? Until I die? Aren't you afraid that the investigation bureau will send even more people to investigate this place after they discover my disappearance?"

"There is a greater than 73% chance that the Bureau of Investigation will not send anyone."

Girl 03, still smiling, offered her analysis:

"Doctors have strong social connections, and the FBI won't easily take action against them without solid evidence. As for investigators like you, sister, you have your own life indicator within the FBI. If the light doesn't go out, it means you're still alive. It's normal for purple-level investigators to investigate cases alone. Even if you don't contact the FBI for a long time, it's difficult for the FBI to detect anything unusual in a short period of time."

"As for how long we're going to keep my sister locked up... well, until the doctor's research is successful."

"Don't worry, sister. According to my calculations, the doctor's research has reached a critical stage. As long as there is enough material for trial and error, there will be a major breakthrough within a year at most."

"The doctor has said that once his research is successful, he will donate his findings to all of humanity free of charge. After that, the doctor will turn himself in to atone for all the human children who have lost their lives because of his research over the years."

"He sounds quite noble?"

Mengmeng sneered dismissively and asked again:

"What exactly is he researching? Why is he using so many cubs as experimental subjects?"

"The doctor's ideal has never changed—he wants to fundamentally solve the misfortune of those who reject magic in human society, and he wants all the new generation of humans to be able to be compatible with magic."

Girl 03 briefly explained Langdon's ideals to Mengmeng, and then said:

"The doctors have successfully developed a special inert magic that can be absorbed by magic-repelling cubs, giving them a certain degree of magic adaptability, which will gradually increase as the cubs grow."

“The magic-repelling cubs that have absorbed special inert magic can already live in a certain level of magic environment. Their adaptability is much stronger than that of ordinary magic-repelling cubs, but it is still not as good as that of the most ordinary magic-affinity cubs... They can live in the wild without any problem, but living in human towns full of magic circuits, there is still a high probability that they will die from the high concentration of magic in the environment.”

"According to current research by doctors, there are two ways to improve this situation."

"One method is to inject more special inert magic into the cubs of magic rejecters to increase their adaptability to magic... However, this method has not yet been successful. All the test subjects failed to withstand the increased dose of inert magic and died shortly after being injected."

"Secondly, we can inject inert magic into younger magic-rejecting cubs, allowing their magic adaptability to grow over a longer period of time. Theoretically, this could also give them the magic adaptability to live in human towns. However, experimental subjects under the age of two are too difficult to obtain. Even if the doctors doubled the purchase price, the materials are still far from enough."

"You actually preyed on children under two years old? You truly are demons!"

Mengmeng shouted angrily again, twisting her body as if trying to slap the girl 03 in front of her. Unfortunately, the restraints were too tight, and her twisting only made her look awkward and served no purpose.

So Mengmeng could only angrily berate Girl 03 again:

"Your research will have a major breakthrough within a year at most... So how many more children will you kill in that year?"

"Well..."

Girl 03 actually adopted a thoughtful expression, showing no signs of being criticized, but rather behaving much like the AI ​​on Earth that answers user questions:

"Based on the doctors' previous experimental consumption and the current experimental intensity, it is estimated that about 4300 more experimental materials will be needed."

After saying that, Girl 03 tilted her head, still somewhat puzzled:

"From a human moral standpoint, consuming these offspring is indeed extremely cruel. But from the perspective of the human race as a whole, isn't it very worthwhile to consume only tens of thousands of inferior individuals to allow a race with a total population of over 5 million to complete its evolution? I think the doctor should be a hero of humanity, and you should admire him. Why do you hate him so much, sister?"

"you……?"

Mengmeng was stunned by 03's logic, and after a moment of stunned silence, she shouted:

How could you have such a terrible thought! Are you even human?

"No."

Girl 03 answered decisively:

"I am just a doctor's experimental assistant. I don't have real thinking ability. All my answers are based on big data model calculations."

“…What the hell?”

Mengmeng didn't quite understand what the so-called big data model was, but she did get the gist of it. The girl in front of her was probably something similar to a magical puppet warrior, only more advanced, and could serve as an experimental assistant for old man Langdon.

"Where is old man Langdon? I need to see him!"

Upon realizing that the girl in front of her was indeed not human, Mengmeng instantly lost the desire to talk to her.

Discussing human morality with something that isn't human is like casting pearls before swine.

"The doctor is conducting research and he won't see you."

Girl 03 shook her head, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the breadcrumbs and meat grease from Mengmeng's mouth, which had gotten on it while she was eating.

"Sister, don't worry. I know you're not feeling well right now, but you're very powerful. Even if your magic is sealed, you probably still have a way to escape. I can't untie you."

"But it's alright. I've already collected your physical data and am currently preparing a medicine that can suppress your physical condition to the level of a malnourished ordinary person. Once the medicine is successfully prepared and injected into you, you will regain some freedom and be able to move around in this small area."

"...Then I should thank you?"

Mengmeng once again made sarcastic remarks.

Girl 03, however, seemed oblivious to Mengmeng's sarcasm and answered very seriously:

"You're welcome. It's only right for a younger sister to help her older sister."

"..."

Mengmeng was even more speechless. She sighed helplessly and changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, why do you call me 'sister'?"

"Because the parameters of my current body are based on the data I collected from my sister's body."

Girl 03 tilted her head again:

"According to the human definition of blood relatives, am I not my sister's younger sister? Or should I call my sister 'Mom' instead?"

"Never mind then, you can just keep calling me 'sister'."

Mengmeng quickly refused:

"I don't want a filial daughter like you!"

"Okay, then I'll continue calling you 'sister' then. I quite like that title."

Girl 03 nodded again, then turned and left with the empty tray.

"Sister, you can rest for a while longer. If you have any physiological needs, just shout it out and I'll come and take care of it for you... Any physiological needs are fine."

"..."

Mengmeng didn't say anything more, but just watched the girl 03 leave with a complicated expression.

She knew she was doomed this time, and there was a high probability she wouldn't be able to escape on her own. The old man Langdon's technology here was terrifyingly advanced, and he also possessed powerful magical artifacts created using fused organs as materials.

However, Mengmeng was not discouraged. She had considered the possibility of failure before taking action, so she had a backup plan with the Investigation Bureau.

Although there are many scoundrels within the FBI, there are also many truly passionate and upright investigators. In addition, given her connection to a certain scumbag heiress, Mengmeng believes that the FBI will not pretend not to know about her disappearance.

So all you have to do now is enjoy good food and drinks while you wait patiently.

. . . . .

Meanwhile, Emerald has returned to Sphinx, preparing to participate in the sword-forging competition.

Having just returned to Sphinx last month and stayed for several days, Emery didn't plan to go home this time. She didn't use her private airship either, and instead used teleportation portals to travel back and forth. She planned to return to Locke City on the night the competition ended... at least that was her plan.

However, after arriving at Melson Entertainment with Julia, her maid, and guards, Amelie heard some slightly surprising news from her nephew, Clark.

The eldest nephew told Emeralt that the Arts Association had actually backed down this time.

Perhaps worried that it would be embarrassing if the large-scale art exhibition, which had been in preparation for a long time, didn't attract many viewers, the art association suddenly announced on the day the exhibition was supposed to open that some paintings had not yet been maintained and that the exhibition would be postponed for two days, just in time to avoid clashing with the sword forging competition.

Since the enemy had surrendered, Emerald did not choose to pursue them relentlessly. Now was not the right time to wipe out the Art Association, and forcibly pursuing them would also result in significant losses for herself.

Let's just treat the sword-forging competition as a purely recreational activity.

The art association's voluntary concession also relieved the celebrities of Sphingart. They no longer had to be forced to choose between the two sides and could come to see the sword-forging competition today and the art exhibition a couple of days later.

This attracted many celebrities from Sphingard to the sword-forging competition. Handsome men and beautiful women in formal attire were everywhere, and the Federation Grand Arena, which can accommodate 10 spectators, was almost full.

Of course, the best seats still belonged to Emerald, and she also reserved good seats for her close friends. Her best friend from school, Stella Morgan, her newly acquainted mistress of the Drunken Red House, Lian, and even the chubby Brut Vance, were all seated near Emerald.

However, with the sword-forging competition about to begin, Emerald noticed that the seat closest to her was still empty, and she frowned.

"Strange... Where did Mengmeng go? I made plans with her in advance. Could she have stood me up and gone off to investigate a case? If she really dares to do that, I'll make sure she can't get out of bed for two days next time!"

"Mengmeng? Is it Mengmeng Bell, the Purple Star Investigator from the FBI?"

Starling, sitting next to Emery and overhearing her whispered words, raised an eyebrow:
