NOVEL NEXT Chapter 157
Chapter 157: The Corruption of the Magic Core of Judgment
“At least we need to understand the reasons behind her current personality. We must dig out the buried past within her heart. This is also an indispensable part of the summoning process.”
While playing with big white characters, Bai Yu solemnly said, “According to Li Li’s words, before you two were sold apart, Fei Ren wasn’t like she is now.”
“That’s right!”
Nodding, Li Ling confirmed, “Because Xiao Nai and I once seriously discussed whether to drug our biological parents. After all, if this continues, we will be beaten to death sooner or later. At that time, she didn’t oppose this matter.”
If Fei Ren, who is now full of a sense of justice, would certainly not hesitate to oppose such a thing! Compared to poisoning people, Fei Ren would definitely prefer to run away or wait to die. It wouldn’t make sense for her to allow her sister to kill someone!
But before Li Ling could find suitable medicine, they were both sold…
“Of course, this isn’t the only basis for judgment. Personally, I feel that since reuniting with Xiao Nai, she has changed from how she was before…”
Counting on her fingers, Li Ling pondered, “Thinking back now… she must have encountered something to become like this! Combining this with her memory of a magic girl dying to protect humans, something important must have happened ten years ago that I don’t know!”
“Don’t say you don’t know. Even I am not very clear about what happened ten years ago.”
Bai Yu echoed, “I’ve only seen records in the library… Ten years ago, a magic girl died alongside the then Leader of the Monsters! But for some reason, everyone’s memories of the magic girl and the monsters disappeared when those two vanished!”
“Is there really such a thing? No wonder the Master asked me if I remembered a magic girl dying.”
Blinking, Li Ling continued, “My memory… should be said, normal human memory, shouldn’t have any record of a dead magic girl. But Xiao Nai actually kept the memory of a magic girl dying to protect humans. That’s really strange!”
“She never told you or Liu Liu about this. If you ask her now, she definitely won’t tell you.”
Bai Yu thoughtfully added, “At least… I need to figure out what happened ten years ago.”
**Knock knock.**
At that moment, a very polite knocking sound came through, and Bai Yu responded, “Come in.”
The door opened, and Judgment, dressed in maid attire, walked in with light steps, hands folded over her abdomen.
“Master, I have captured everyone on the list.”
Approaching Bai Yu, Judgment first slightly bowed as a sign of respect. Then she respectfully said, “They are currently imprisoned in an underground room in Zone N. I have already tortured them with various instruments until their spirits are nearly broken. Now is the best time to extract all their negative energy. Would you like to collect it?”
“Of course!”
To this, Bai Yu happily replied, “I’ll go now—”
But although he spoke, Bai Yu made no move to get up from the sofa. Judgment naturally put shoes on Bai Yu’s feet, after which he stood up.
“Then, Master, after you collect the energy…”
Judgment reminded, “Today’s lunch is Moon Demon Lamb Fried Rice, Fiery Dragon Meat Steak, and Sea Dragon Snake Stew. For dessert, there’s Ice Cream Pudding and Wisdom Tree Fruit Black Tea. Is there anything else you’d like me to improve?”
“Huh?!!”
Beside him, Li Ling couldn’t help but stick out her tongue in anticipation! Even someone like Li Ling, who isn’t particularly obsessed with food, was like this. Imagine Meng Yue…
“Generally fine. Let’s discuss any issues at noon.”
Walking, Bai Yu smiled, “Lin Lin, you did a great job!”
After all, these ingredients weren’t directly taken from the organization’s base but freshly caught and prepared by Judgment herself! The gap between people… in just one morning, while Bai Yu and Li Ling were lounging on the sofa, Judgment not only caught and cooked a feast from magic beasts but also captured several villains on the list and tortured them, waiting for Bai Yu to collect the negative energy.
“This is all I should do, Master.”
Judgment showed no pride in her actions, bowing modestly as if it were nothing more than a trivial duty. She positioned herself as low as possible!
However, beneath her outwardly respectful demeanor, Judgment’s inner emotions were completely different:
Damn Meng Yue, I truly believed your nonsense! This is what you called a mere cooperative relationship between the Leader of the Monsters and Li Ling? And Li Ling just wanted to use him, while the Leader was merely taking advantage of her too!
In just one morning of lounging on the sofa, this is what you called a simple cooperative relationship? Where exactly did they cooperate?!! These two don’t seem to be using each other at all! And the Leader is supposed to be lacking love? Does he look like someone lacking love?
But… forget it… it doesn’t matter… even if it is so! Even if it is so! It doesn’t affect my plan!
Thinking this, Judgment subtly glanced at Bai Yu… then turned her head forward, still maintaining her expressionless, puppet-like maidservant appearance.
Only Judgment didn’t realize that while she was staring at Bai Yu, Bai Yu was also staring at her. She hadn’t even noticed that her magic core was starting to malfunction.
To be honest… Bai Yu had only recently noticed this. Because Judgment’s magic core was pure white, gradually being tainted by dark spots, neither purple like Meng Yue’s nor ice blue like Li Ling’s, but a bone-white hue!
It was hard to tell the difference if you didn’t look closely. Bai Yu genuinely rejoiced at the transformation of Judgment’s magic core, but after summing up, he discovered that the more attentive she was to him, the more her magic core was corrupted!
What kind of logic is this? Could it be that her magic core is a type of magic beast that enjoys caring for others? Bai Yu felt it wasn’t that simple… but since the process had begun, he certainly had no reason to miss the chance to turn Judgment into a monster!
Moreover, Judgment’s role was different from other magic girls. Bai Yu was very sure that if Pabi knew about Judgment turning into a monster, he would definitely go insane! Even if he knew Meng Yue was already a monster, the reaction to Judgment becoming one would probably be even greater!!
