Wicked Reincarnation

Lia let him go and searched through the room for something suitable. Elder C behind her slouched to a pathetic blob on the ground. With no energy to say anything anymore, with no will to live, he silently sobbing looked at the long staff before it bore through his forehead.

When he fell to the ground, all his life drained off him and the final moment was occupied by Lia's ridiculing expression.

Lia stepped over Elder C's corpse and a wonderful feeling spread everywhere. It surrounded her like a sweet smell followed by the sweet sight of the corpse dragging Elder C's dead body behind her.

They left the laboratory and went back to the open office. Now, that everything was done on her side, she needed to find Noel and get out of this facility. If this was open to the public again, she promised to come back and give Nessa the respect she deserved.

In the end, however, she learnt absolutely nothing. Neither about her power, the purpose of the facility, what Min wanted and why they needed her alive to be sacrificed.

She came empty-handed and left empty-handed with torn knowledge that amounted to nothing.

Suddenly, there was a slight cough. Lia whipped around and her eyes wandered between the dead bodies before laying rest on Elder P's.

Out of everyone, Elder P had the least damage, his half-naked body only revealed a bloody hole in his chest.

The lackeys were ripped apart and Nessa's head was almost severed, only Elder P's body was intact.

Lia's mood increased even more, with a dazzling smile she made her way to Elder P.

Yet with each step she took towards Elder P, it felt like the whole world shook under her overwhelming force, it made way for her to carry out what it denied her.

Lia grabbed Elder P by his head and brought her face close to his, "Elder P, you can still speak, no? Spit out how to get out of the facility and I'll end your anguish. You won't have to suffer like Elder C did."

Lia pointed at Elder C's broken body in her corpse's hand and Elder P's eyes widened, he winced unintentionally. Hearing this, Lia almost wanted to break out in laughter.

"Elder C was generous enough to share some of the torture that was reserved to you. If I had known you were still alive, Elder C didn't need to endure so much, instead, two make more fun, no?"

Lia's words made Elder P tense up, wanting to rip out his organs to offer to her in order to escape his punishment, but he couldn't move. It was if Lia's gaze had absolute control over him, bound him to only tremble in fear and suffering.

There were a lot of things Lia wanted to ask but escaping here was more important. Everything else wasn't only limited to these elders' knowledge, she could always get it out of Min and even if he didn't reveal it, it didn't matter if he was dead.

Elder P growled in pain, "Ha.." His voice lost its arrogance and even had a hint of remorse.

"If I said, I regret it, you go easy on me?"

Lia subconsciously froze for a second, "If you're really regretful, then tell me."

"Ha… there's a special button… just press it," Elder P's eyelids grew heavier. Up until before his death, he didn't regret doing what he did.

Even when he saw Lia, it was only brief shock that paralysed him and even now what he meant by regret wasn't particularly having actively participated in the K family's death but the way he lived his life.

He was the fruit of a household and parents who didn't care about its children, neither knew what parental, familial love was.

He regretted, alright he regretted. He was frustrated, angry, cynical and in truth lonely.

Destroying things he didn't have, brought him joy. That was one of the reasons why he enjoyed the murder of the K family. The other…

The Lia now reminded him of himself. He chuckled. Lost yet determined. Believing in the wrong things but believing to be in the right.

"Ha…" he breathed out.

"Where is it? The button."

He regretted. Just what did he regret in the end?

"On my floor… the sixth floor… office," he closed his eyes and felt Lia rushing away.

If Lia didn't change her ways, if this Lia who resembled him in some form still remained, he was afraid she was going to end up the same way as him.
