Collapse, I save everything alone

At this moment, Theresa poked her head out of the bathroom:

"Wendy, the water is hot, let's take a bath together."

Mingyu pushed the girl to the bathroom door, asked Theresa to help her in, and then he returned to the sofa.

Listening to the pleasant sound of flowing water, he turned on the communication terminal and contacted Mei and Xier who were far away in the Far East.

Hmm... Daily check-in report...

……

After contacting the girls who cared about them, Wendy and Theresa's bathing was over.

The bathroom door opened, and Theresa, wrapped in a bath towel, poked her head out again, beckoned him over, and said:

"Mingyu, take Wendy back to her room and leave."

——The height disadvantage was really obvious at this time. It would be fine if she just helped Wendy into the bathtub to take a bath, but if she wanted to carry her all the way back to the room, it was impossible for her with her short stature.

Therefore, this matter can only be left to Mingyu.

He nodded, then looked at Wendy in the bathroom. She had already changed into a thin layer of pajamas with Theresa's help.

It's the same turquoise color as her hair.

When he came to the girl's side, she had already closed her eyes and was ready.

Ming Yu didn't waste any time. He put one hand under the girl's neck and the other hand around her knees, and picked up the disabled girl in a princess hug. Then he strode out of the bathroom and came to Wendy's room.

——Although this villa has two floors, Wendy usually uses the space on the first floor because of her limited mobility. The rooms on the second floor are reserved for the Valkyries who come to take care of her.

Gently pushing open the door, Mingyu saw Wendy's room.

The decoration and furnishing of the room are quite simple, and the concise and elegant style makes people feel very comfortable.

He gently placed the girl on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

After doing all this, Wendy finally opened her eyes and whispered:

"Thank you."

"Nothing. If there's anything else, just call me."

He pointed to the communicator beside the bed.

"Well, Mingyu, you should go and rest early too."

Wendy nodded obediently.

Mingyu did not disturb the girl's rest and left her room.

……

After settling everything, Mingyu returned to his room.

Night had fallen, but before he rested, he still had one thing to do.

After the initial contact, this girl named Wendy is indeed somewhat similar to Seele in character and appearance. She is very gentle and kind.

It’s no wonder that in the original timeline Bronya was “touched by the scene” and associated it with Seele’s affairs.

What he wanted to know now was what Wendy's current condition was and to what extent she had been eroded by the Gem of Desire.

Her physical condition is naturally quite bad, so, is her mental state...as stable as she appears to others?

Perhaps she herself would not hate Theresa...but the gem of desire implanted in the girl's body was eroding her body and mind all the time.

Perhaps one day, the erosion of her desire for the gem will cause her kindness and goodwill to disappear, and she will be transformed into a vengeful evil spirit that hates fate and humanity.

With this thought in mind, a piece of Yudu dust appeared in his hand.

【Projection magic·Yu Duchen】

The best way to confirm this matter is naturally to contact Wendy's spirit through Yu Duchen.

Living with Wendy made it convenient for him to use Yu Du Chen to sense the girl's presence in his room.

——Although it’s a bit impolite, tonight, let him sneak into Wendy’s dream to find out the truth.

Chapter 181: Eating People's Minds

With the help of Yu Duchen's power, Mingyu sneaked into Wendy's dream.

The world in the dream was a green grassland just like what one sees during the day, and on this grassland, one could see the girl with dark green hair standing there.

Mingyu thought about it and decided to transform into a pure white kitten and landed on the grass.

While entering the girl's dream, he also came into contact with her past.

This girl, who was born in New Zealand, once lived an ordinary but fulfilling life, until a few years ago when destiny came to New Zealand to recruit Valkyries. The girl with great potential was chosen and thus became a Valkyrie.

She was indeed very talented in this area. After entering St. Freya Academy for further studies, she quickly became an A-level Valkyrie in a very short period of time and even reached the S-level threshold.

If it weren't for the Herrscher Gem fusion experiment, she would probably have become the fourth S-class Valkyrie three years later.

Ok……

Otto must take the blame in the end, after all, he was the one who led the fusion experiment of the Herrscher Gem.

Mingyu, who had transformed into a kitten, walked step by step to Wendy's side and rubbed her feet skillfully.

"kitten?"

The girl blinked, noticed the little creature at her feet, crouched down slightly, and tried to pick it up.

"Meow~"

Mingyu moved slightly, pulled himself out of the girl's hand, ran a few steps on the grassland, then turned around and looked at Wendy.

"Don't run!"

Sure enough, after failing to catch him, the girl trotted after him.

——In the dream, her body still seemed quite healthy, her legs were not disabled and could move automatically.

He pretended to struggle a little, and then was obediently caught by the girl and held in her arms.

"What a cute little fellow..."

Wendy sat down on the ground, panting, placed it on her lap, and reached out to stroke its fur.

Mingyu enjoyed the touch while thinking:

At first glance, it seems that her mental state is relatively stable...but is it really so?

As he expected, the beautiful and peaceful dream did not last long. Soon, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, making everything look gloomy.

"Is it going to rain?"

The girl seemed to feel a little uneasy about this and planned to stand up from the grass and go under the eaves to avoid the rain.

However, when she tried to stand up, she found that she had lost control of her legs.

Not only did she lose control, but her legs and hands were also covered in bandages and were covered in scars.

The girl, unable to move her body, spoke in a panic:

"My leg...what happened?"

Dark clouds covered the earth, and endless darkness began to envelop the grassland. In the darkness, an illusory figure emerged.

She stared coldly at the girl kneeling on the ground and said:

"Your legs are broken."

"my leg……"

Wendy murmured.

"That's right. Have you forgotten who made you so lonely and helpless and a laughing stock in the eyes of others?"

The dark phantom snapped his fingers, and the scene around him changed immediately.

This was a scene that Wendy didn't want to recall - she had just finished the fusion experiment of the Herrscher Gem and the bad news was announced.

Researchers in white coats held experimental data and physical examination reports in their hands, standing in front of the girl in the wheelchair with apologetic looks on their faces.

"…I'm so sorry, Miss Wendy."

"So... I can't stand up for the time being?"

"Well, the power of the Desire Gem has corroded your legs and maintained a stable form inside them. With the current technology of Destiny, we cannot guarantee that we can remove it without any danger. The moment it leaves your body, if the Houkai energy contained in it explodes, it will be enough to destroy the entire New Zealand."

"...I understand. Then, use my body to temporarily seal this dangerous Herrscher Gem."

The girl at that time took a deep breath and tried hard to smile.

"We will find a solution to your problem as soon as possible."

——The echo of memory stops here.

To this day, three years later, the gem of desire on her leg has still not been removed.

Not only that, the group of researchers who were responsible for studying the Desire Gem had already withdrawn from the Oceania branch and returned to the Sentient Headquarters.

"..."

Recalling the things she didn't want to recall, the girl with dark green hair couldn't help but gasp.

The dark phantom took the opportunity to say:

"Wendy, haven't you realized yet? Fate is deceiving you. From the very beginning, they had no intention of saving you, who has become a useless person."

"You... lied..."

"Face the reality. They have long regarded you as a waste. Rather than continue to live in a daze and powerlessness like this... why not join me in rebelling against this dark and corrupt world?"

The dark phantom said in a gentle and persuasive manner.

"I do not want……"

"As long as you are willing to accept this hatred, the power of the Herrscher will be able to regenerate your body, and you will have power far beyond that of an S-class Valkyrie. At that time, you will be able to fly freely in the sky like before."

"..."

"Oh right, let's start with Theresa. She's the culprit who pushed you onto the operating table. When that time comes, you can use the wind blade to scrape off her flesh bit by bit and cut that white-haired dwarf into pieces..."

When talking about the name Theresa, the shadow's aura obviously became a little inflated, and it sounded a little bit gritting his teeth.

——It was as if she had suffered a great loss at the hands of Theresa in the past.

"Health... Revenge..."

The girl muttered to herself.

"Yes, as long as you are willing to...accept me..."

The dark phantom crossed his hands behind his back and slowly walked to Wendy's side.

At this moment, she noticed that there was a white kitten crawling on Wendy's thigh, staring at her with bared teeth.

"Humph, just a kitten..."

The shadow wanted to chase it away, but unexpectedly the kitten suddenly jumped up and bit her hand hard.

"Meow!"

This bite comes with a mental attack.

——Based on Yu Duchen's power, it can indeed help Wendy to a certain extent resist this dark will and fight back.

The black shadow withdrew his hand with some pain and glared at Ming Yu unhappily:

"Tsk... Tsk, it looks like there are some troublesome people around this guy."

She took two steps back:

"It doesn't matter. I still have plenty of time. It won't be long before she sinks into the abyss of revenge. You can't save her."

Then, the dark clouds in the sky and the dark phantom of the girl disappeared, and the dream became a peaceful and tranquil sunny grassland again.

Mingyu jumped off the girl's lap and turned around to see that Wendy had closed her eyes and was sleeping on the grass.

Apparently, she should be harassed by the craving gem like this every day.
