As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

How could someone as weak as me be worthy of becoming Lord Morikami's spirit?

The illusory figure turned into a stream of light and penetrated into Morikami Nozomi's slender body.

Morikami Nozomi's body shook slightly for a few times, and then his vision went dark and he fell backwards.

But before she lost consciousness, she did not feel the hard touch of the corrupt earth.

Instead, I felt a broad and warm embrace...

……

When Morikami Nozomi opened his eyes again, the land before his eyes was no longer the cursed one.

Instead, it was in a room that, although not luxurious, gave people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Facing her was a huge LCD screen that took up almost the entire wall. Next to it, desktop computers, speakers, and some mechanical creations that she couldn't quite name were placed in an orderly manner.

Looking to the side, there is a bookcase, with all kinds of books neatly placed on the bookshelf in order from large to small;

The wooden floor is spotless, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance...

This looks like someone's bedroom.

At this moment, she felt an aggressive gaze coming from the side.

After turning her head in that direction, she saw a little girl with silver hair sitting beside the bed, her lavender eyes staring at her intently.

It's Lika.

However, compared to before, Lika in front of him has changed a lot.

Compared to the last time Morikami Nozomi saw her, she had obviously grown a lot bigger. If she was a complete little girl before, now, although she has not yet left that category, she is already a little bit closer to the "loli".

The clothes are still the same Lolita style with black and red as the main colors, but the size has increased by one size.

In addition, she has a small microphone-shaped hairpin on her head, which adds a bit of evil charm to her already cute appearance.

But if we talk about the biggest change, it should be the feeling that Lika gives people.

Although Lika was cute before, it was an inorganic and lifeless cuteness.

Although she looks no different from a little girl, one can tell at a glance that the little girl in front of you is not a human being, but just a monster in human skin.

There was no life in those beautiful lavender eyes, they felt like two colorful gems inlaid on the delicate face.

But at this moment, the brilliance of intellect is shining in these beautiful eyes.

Like the finishing touch, this pair of lively eyes makes Lika come alive.

If no one told the true identity of the little girl in front of them, 99% of people would probably firmly believe that she was a human.

Nozomi Morika discovered that Rika was actually sitting on a chair next to the bedroom, holding a comic book for children in her hand.

Because her body was too small, she couldn't touch the ground while sitting on the chair. Her two white silk feet, as soft and sticky as ice cream, were dangling gently in the air...

After looking Morikami Nozomi up and down, Rika lost interest in the girl in front of her. She lowered her head and turned her gaze back to the comic book. Although there was still no expression on her delicate little face, Morikami Nozomi could feel her obsession.

At this moment, a tall and handsome young man pushed open the closed door and walked in.

In his hand, he was holding a transparent cup.

The liquid in the cup was slightly reddish, and white steam was coming out...

"You're awake." With a warm smile, Yuanhui handed the cup in his hand to Morikami Xi who was standing up from the bed, "This is brown sugar water, it will be good for your current condition."

Although [My Other Self in the World] not only did not resist, but actively cooperated with Morikami Nozomi's restraints, weirdness is weirdness after all, and it is poison to living things, so naturally there will be some discomfort.

This feeling is a bit like the intense chill that radiates from the stomach after suddenly eating a large amount of crushed ice.

"Sugar tastes like happiness," Yuanhui said to Morikami, "If you drink it in small sips, it should make you feel better."

"Thank you." Morikami Xi nodded obediently, then took the cup of hot brown sugar water from the boy's hand, sipped it little by little, letting the warm feeling like the sun gradually accumulate in her body.

Yuanhui also moved a chair from the room and sat next to the bed.

"You are now the extraordinary person you have always dreamed of." Yuanhui crossed his hands and placed them on his thighs, asking the girl in front of him, "How do you feel now?"

Morikami tilted his head slightly, and after thinking for a while, he gave an answer that was somewhat unexpected -

“There’s a very pleasant sense of security.”

That’s right, after finally getting what he wanted, Morikami Nozomi was not as ecstatic as he had imagined.

At this moment, an extremely strong sense of security was filling her heart.

Before this, Morikami Nozomi felt like a disabled person who was missing his right leg and could only walk tremblingly with the help of his left leg and crutches.

After becoming a soul binder, she found her right leg and was finally able to put her feet firmly on the ground.

This down-to-earth feeling is called peace of mind.

Nozomi Morikami looked at his hands.

Although her appearance remained the same as before, she could now feel the energy surging from within.

This energy was originally hidden in her body, but she had no way of feeling it before.

Nozomi Morikami didn't know why she knew this, but she just had this understanding.

She tried to mobilize this energy with her mind, but to no avail.

Although she was its master, this energy did not obey her commands at all and just filled her body on its own.

"Is this... psychic power?" Morikami Xi looked at Yuanhui with some curiosity.

The latter nodded and said, "This is the energy of your soul. It's no problem to call it spiritual energy."

"As you can see, psychic energy is actually an extremely inert energy. Although it fills the body, it is completely uncontrolled by the mind."

"This is the fundamental property of psychic energy. It remains the same no matter how much you train it."

"It is precisely because of this property that ordinary people also have this energy in their bodies, but they have no way to utilize it."

"They can't even sense this energy."

Nozomi Morikami sipped the brown sugar water in her hand while listening attentively to the boy's science lecture.

"The only ones who can harness this energy are weirdos."

The essence of death energy is actually psychic energy that is tainted with despair and fear, and the monsters born from death energy are naturally born with the ability to control psychic energy.

"But the spiritual energy of ordinary creatures has an extremely strong personal imprint. Even if it is weird, there is no way to erase it."

"So in order to eat, they must kill the living being, so as to erase his mark and transform the spiritual energy into dead air that can be eaten."

"But the efficiency of this conversion is actually very low."

"Generally speaking, it's only about 10,000 to 1."

"If you want to increase this ratio, you have to let as many living beings die in despair, pain, or fear as possible. This is also the reason why many monsters deliberately torture humans."

"But for the monsters bound by the Soul Binder, because they have essentially become appendages of the Soul Binder, as long as they allow it, the personal imprint of psychic energy will naturally not be able to become an obstacle to them."

"So, this type of monster does not need to replenish dead energy. The spiritual energy of its owner is enough to meet the needs of daily activities and activation of abilities."

"Then, will there be a situation where a monster will drain the master's spiritual energy and cause the soul binder to die?" Morikami Nozomi said in a somewhat worried tone.

"Not really." Yuan Hui shook his head. "Psionic energy is actually a renewable energy. As long as the soul does not disappear, it will continue to be produced to make up for the vacancies extracted by the monster."

"And I've already said it before, the weirdness in the Soul Binder's body is its appendage. If the Soul Binder doesn't want it to extract spiritual energy, then he won't be able to absorb any spiritual energy at all."

In fact, many spirit binders will use this method to let the spirit they have just caught and which is somewhat unruly know who is the master.

"Of course, everything has a limit."

"Even if spiritual energy can be regenerated, we can't let the monsters draw it infinitely," Yuanhui warned. "Generally speaking, it is safer to retain about 1/3 of the spiritual energy."

Morikami Nozomi nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it.

"By the way," Yuan Hui showed a curious look, "What abilities does your spirit have?"

Yuan Hui actually doesn't quite understand the abilities of [Another Me].

Among the three elements of [Trigger for killing], [Rule of action], and [Method of avoiding death], he actually only had a vague concept of [Rule of action], and knew that she should have the ability to replace the presence of others.

Because of this, the binding force of [Blood Field] on [Another Self in the World] is actually not that strong.

If she hadn't been shocked by Genki and Morikami Nozomi, and hadn't seen the mistakes of the past (referring to [Go-kun]), Morikami Nozomi's journey to binding spirits wouldn't have been so smooth.

"My spirit is called [Another Me in the World], and it has two main abilities." Morikami Nozomi answered without hesitation.

Logically speaking, this should be the most core secret in the heart of a soul binder. Not to mention asking, even guessing will lead to fierce counterattacks and retaliation.

However, just as Yuanhui showed her the [Blood Field] without any hesitation, she would not have any hesitation in telling Yuanhui about her abilities.

After this experience, the relationship between the two has unknowingly reached a new level.

“The first ability is to imitate and copy.”

While speaking, Nozomi Morikami had quietly activated his ability.

I saw that her originally shoulder-length short hair gradually grew longer, and only stopped growing when it reached the same level as her slender waist.

At the same time, the deep purple in her eyes faded away quietly, replaced by emerald blue.

The chest, which was originally of standard size, has been slightly reduced in curvature...

Not long after, 'Kujo Rin' appeared in front of Genki, and even Morikami Nozomi's voice changed from its original soft voice to a sweet voice with a little bit of naivety.

"The degree of similarity I imitate depends on how familiar I am with the person." 'Kujo Rin' said, "Of course, I can also ask the other person directly, and if I get permission, I can become the other person's appearance."

"If I use the latter method, I can copy not only the other person's appearance, but also their memory and knowledge. However, when I exit this state, I will forget it."

"If you don't want to forget, you can do that." As she spoke, 'Kujo Rin' had already changed back to her original appearance. "Just kill this person with your own hands."

"Can it only imitate humans?" Yuan Hui asked.

"Yes." Morikami nodded, "Besides that, this ability has another flaw, which is——"

“The person I imitate and I are actually opposites.”

Yuanhui was not surprised by this, as this was the strange flaw of "Another Me in This World".

"My second ability is what I call [Better Me]," Morikami continued, "I can choose any direction to enhance myself."

"If psychic energy is infinite, this kind of gain would theoretically have no limit, but I definitely can't do it now."

"[The Other Me] told me that with my current psychic power, twice is the limit."

"Also, after I am released from this state, I will have a period of weakness, the length of which will be equal to the time I was in that state."

"Before, [Senior I] was able to find [Know-All-Knowing Wu-kun] by using this ability."

"What she increased at that time was [Analysis Power]."

Although [Another Me] is a timid weird, his abilities are surprisingly practical.

Seeing that Morikami Nozomi was still tired, Yuanhui stood up considerately and said, "Then, you should have a good rest--"

Before he could finish his words, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

A small ATM machine suddenly emerged from thin air and landed lightly on Morikami Nozomi's bed.

"Click."

A small piece of white paper was spit out by it and fell into Morikami Nozomi's hands.

This is a bill.

61. Even if the guidance has been broken, please...

"this is……"

The sudden appearance of the strange machine obviously surprised Morikami Nozomi, but after the white little hand picked up the bill, the surprise on the girl's face immediately turned into a little realization.

When she spoke to Yuanhui on the phone last week, Yuanhui told her in a very serious tone not to return to Chuanglong Apartment for the time being.

As for the reason, Morikami Nozomi could naturally guess it -

Apart from weirdness, what other things could make Yuanhui act so cautious?

The ban was lifted over the weekend, which naturally meant that the monsters wandering around Chuanglong's apartment had been expelled by Yuanhui, or had directly become his own power.

Judging from the current situation, the result is obviously the latter.

The moment she touched the bill, the relevant information flowed into Morikami Nozomi's mind, and she immediately understood what the bill in front of her was all about.
