Go back? There's no going back.

When did...my mother become such a kind and amiable person?

Even the damned pagan saint whom she had temporarily designated as her successor was far from reaching this level.

What on earth is going on?

...I'm here.

Mother, I am here!

Why...why are you chatting so kindly with a stranger, a guy who hurt me like this?

Just as the scarred young man was gritting his teeth with confusion on his face, he suddenly noticed the gaze from his mother.

"Mother, Mother—"

When their eyes met, the scarred young man was stunned for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"So, what's going on now?"

Silently taking her eyes off Su Wei's face, Eve turned her head and cast her gaze at the scarred young man.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "His body is clean, why... did you attack him?"

At the same time, as if she had just discovered that the latter was still controlled by the undead, the witch raised her chin slightly while asking, and the undead who had been pressing on the scarred young man's head suddenly stood up and let go.

"…Mother, this is his problem. It's all his fault!"

The next second, feeling the pressure above his head suddenly disappear, the scarred young man lying on the ground staggered to his feet.

After regaining his mobility, he immediately raised his hand and pointed at Su Wei behind Eve, gritting his teeth and saying, "If he hadn't suddenly come over to disturb me, I would have already dealt with that dirty woman, and your 'new mask' must have been made. I actually don't want to waste time attacking him--!"

"..."

After the scarred young man said this, Su Wei, who was listening to his statement quietly, suddenly turned black.

Your mother's.

...What kind of villain is complaining first?

Although he chose to give the other party the chance to answer, he suddenly felt that the other party had gone too far in confusing right and wrong, and subconsciously wanted to refute it.

It’s just… Su Wei stared at the scarred young man who had been beaten so badly by him before but now seemed to have found his backbone in front of the Witch, and finally fell silent.

"…Really? In other words, the thing I asked you to do is not finished yet?"

After listening to the whole thing quietly, Eve looked at the scarred young man quietly, with no emotion visible on her flawless face: "Besides, according to what you just said, wasn't he ready to leave? Was it really necessary to take action at that time? Are you sure you are not simply wasting the time I gave you?"

"No, no, he... he had already discovered something was wrong. If he reported it to others after returning, then your new identity... might be exposed to those guys because of him, causing you unnecessary trouble..."

Gradually feeling an indescribable pressure from his mother's peaceful gaze, the scarred young man suddenly froze and responded tremblingly.

At the same time, almost instinctively, he subconsciously concealed the inexplicable desire to cut off a part of Su Wei's face for his own use after seeing Su Wei's face.

"…Identity is something you can always change to another one. There are so many dirty things here anyway."

After hearing this, it seemed that she had lost the patience to continue listening. Under the cautious gaze of the scarred young man, Eve's face gradually turned cold: "Finish the rest first."

"Okay, okay!"

Hearing this, the scarred young man was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and ran quickly to a bookcase in the corner behind him, and dragged out a woman hiding behind the bookcase little by little.

No, it’s more like a body than one.

Because, in Su Wei's eyes... the woman who was dragged out by the scarred young man... was already a corpse that could not be deader.

The two eyeballs were dug out, leaving only the black eye sockets.

Even the abdomen was cut open, revealing nothing inside.

But despite this, Su Wei recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

There was no doubt that it was the magic instructor who had sent him a message a few hours ago.

Seeing this scene, Su Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He had seen corpses before.

However, this was the first time he had seen a corpse with such a strange death.

It’s not pure fear, but a feeling of... creepy.

Because he had noticed that at this moment in the empty abdomen of the corpse... there was not even a trace of flesh and blood left.

It was as if the other person was just a piece of human skin from the very beginning, or... there was something that ate up everything of her from the inside, bit by bit, while she was still alive.

"Mother, it will be done soon. Please wait a moment..."

After dragging out the body of the magic instructor, the scarred young man took a deep breath under Su Wei's gaze, and then his eyes focused.

The next second, in the space around the corpse, densely packed things that looked like some kind of runes emerged and gathered towards the hands of the scarred young man.

Finally, those runes gradually turned into a small rune stone with a blurry human face engraved on it.

The moment the talisman stone was held in the young man's hand, Su Wei's eyes blurred.

When he blinked subconsciously, he suddenly found that the appearance of the scarred young man in his field of vision... suddenly became extremely similar to the appearance of the female mentor.

However, after observing it carefully for a while, he still found some incongruity in it...

"Is this magic? Or does he have physical abilities like camouflage in addition to the ability to survive desperate situations and heal himself?"

Looking at this scene, Su Wei blinked, vaguely realized something, and instinctively looked at the witch beside him.

If he was still unsure at the beginning, now, after some contact, Su Wei has almost determined that the scarred young man's strange mixed physique should be the work of this witch.

So…sixteen years ago, this witch also wore something similar to cover her true appearance and took me in?

"Mother, is this level of mask okay?"

A moment later, the scarred young man completed the last step with a serious face, holding the camouflage rune stone, and quickly ran to the witch.

When handing the talisman he made himself to the witch who was bringing disaster to the country, the expression on the scarred young man's face suddenly became extremely nervous.

It looked like a student who handed in his homework late at school, and went to the teacher's office alone after class with his completed homework book to hand in the homework.

"..."

Reaching out to take the talisman stone, the witch took it in her hand and examined it briefly.

The next moment, the shadow under her feet suddenly spread a little, and a hunched undead crawled out from the shadow.

Under the gaze of Su Wei and the scarred young man whose expression was frozen in vain, she casually threw the rune stone to the undead.

Soon, a rune vision that was very similar to the one that the scarred young man had seen when he used his physical ability appeared beside the hunchbacked undead, and finally, bit by bit, merged into the rune stone in his hand.

When the runes dissipated, Su Wei quickly discovered that the blurry human face on the camouflage rune stone had become much more detailed and looked lifelike.

He raised his bony arm with a somewhat stiff gesture, handed the rune stone back to the witch, and then the hunchbacked undead quickly disappeared again on the spot.

“I’m sorry, mother… You clearly need to rest now, but I can’t even handle such a small matter, so you have to use your deep ability again…”

Seeing this scene, the scarred young man gritted his teeth and lowered his head with a grim expression.

As someone who had known his mother for six years as an experimental subject, he certainly knew that the Pluto body could not only enslave the souls of the dead, but also use the physical abilities of the dead after enslavement.

In other words, theoretically speaking, the Pluto body... can master the abilities of almost all special physiques at the same time.

However, unlike simply summoning the undead, using the abilities of the undead is a deeper level of application of the Pluto body, and the consumption and burden on the user will also increase significantly.

And now, the scarred young man is very clear that his mother's condition is not suitable for intensive use of her abilities in a short period of time.

"It's ok."

However, facing the scarred young man's self-blame, Eve glanced at him lightly, and the expression on her face was as calm as ever.

After all, she had never expected too much from a mixed experiment from the beginning.

After looking at the talisman in her hand for a moment again, the witch did not avoid Su Wei beside her at all. The next second, she slightly tightened the camouflage talisman in her hand.

Then, in Su Wei's vision, she once again turned into a female mentor.

However, unlike the camouflage effect created by the scarred young man at the beginning, the female mentor who had been refined by the hunchbacked undead now looked exactly like a living person, vivid and lifelike.

If Su Wei had not witnessed the entire process of the disguise taking effect, he probably would not have realized that the mentor in front of him... was another person.

Watching this scene in a daze, Su Wei suddenly thought of something and his face changed.

Because he realized that a witch who had already destroyed a country had inexplicably come down from the mountains and appeared in this royal city, and even disguised herself through such extremely sophisticated means... This did not seem to be a good thing.

At least, not to the princess who was also in the royal city.

"..."

The moment he thought of this, a strong impulse suddenly surged in Su Wei's heart.

He felt that he must find an opportunity to convey this matter... to the princess.

As such thoughts popped up in his mind, Su Wei was quickly stunned, with an indescribable doubt flashing in his eyes.

He was surprised at how efficiently he made the decision this time.

He remembered very clearly that when he came back from the Rosso Mountains last time and was asked by the princess in the hospital about the news related to the witch in front of him, he was extremely hesitant.

But this time, for some reason... when the princess's face appeared in his mind, he had this thought almost without hesitation...

Silently, Su Wei put his hands behind his back inconspicuously.

He gently pressed his left hand on the bracelet on his right hand, trying to contact the other party through this thing that the princess had personally put on him.

But, for some reason, no matter how Su Wei operated, there was no feedback from the bracelet.

"Oh, by the way, mother, there is also this——"

At this moment, the scarred young man who had been praising "Mother is beautiful no matter what disguise she is in" seemed to suddenly remember something. He quickly walked around Su Wei and ran to the back of the desk that Su Wei saw when he entered the room, and took out a medicine box from the drawer.

Seeing this scene, Su Wei was slightly stunned.

Because he discovered that the box was exactly the same as the box he used to store the Holy Spirit Medicine when he bought it for the Fox Fairy.

"As you suggested, I disguised myself as the princess' maid a few days ago and actually went there to buy this herb. I even got a discount, so the cost was even less than the budget you prepared."

As if he had completely forgotten the existence of Su Wei, the scarred young man with his eyes full of her came to his mother with a medicine box in his arms, and said earnestly: "It's a pity that there is only this one stock left. Please eat it quickly, and you must recover soon..."

"..."

Eve took it quietly, opened the medicine box, and without saying a word, checked the Holy Spirit Medicine that was quietly placed inside.

"Speaking of which, that princess really deserves to die..."

On the side, carefully observing his mother, whose face had obviously become paler after using her deep power, the scarred young man was silent for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy tone: "If it weren't for that bitch First Princess who suddenly blocked the area around Mount Rosso... I should have been able to deliver this herb to you earlier - poof?!"

The scarred young man's voice suddenly stopped.

Because when he finished speaking, his whole body was sent flying backwards by a huge force and landed heavily on the wall behind him.

"...?"

At this moment, even Eve, who was originally checking the Holy Spirit Medicine, was slightly stunned. She subconsciously turned her head and looked at the culprit beside her.

“Ahem, ahem——!?”

At the same time, the scarred young man by the wall also covered his neck and coughed violently. He staggered to his feet and looked at Su Wei who had suddenly attacked him.

The expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost, full of shock and confusion.

This, this damn rat... is crazy?

Mother is here now, and he can't escape.

But the scarred young man never expected that before he had time to deal with him, he would actually... dare to take the initiative to attack him?

Regardless of whether there is a chance or not, any person with a normal mind, at this time, shouldn't he try his best to weaken his presence and wait for an opportunity to escape?

How dare he?

Could it be that he has been frightened by his mother's majesty and is no longer able to think... ?

With this thought in mind, the scarred young man looked at the mouse's face with a gloomy expression.

But in the end, he was disappointed.

He did not see any emotion that could be described as "fear" on the other person's unusually calm face.

"Damn it, how dare you...?"

After meeting the expressionless Su Wei's eyes, the scarred young man held the wall with one hand and stood up again in a somewhat strange posture.

At this moment, he was gritting his teeth, as if he was trying his best to endure something, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Wei was once again filled with murderous intent.
