The night deepened.
The bright moonlight shone through the window, illuminating the room and making it less gloomy and more sacred.
Hua Lingyao, who was beside him, had already wrapped her arms around his left arm and was fast asleep.
Lorraine, however, kept her eyes open, gazing at the bright starry sky outside the window, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
He struggled to raise his right hand, which was difficult to move.
He opened his palm.
Two small, adorable five-clawed black dragons reappeared in front of him in an instant, this time wandering along his entire right arm.
——
If Venerida wasn't lying to him.
Narolin felt that the dark magic he now possessed might truly be his life force. It could be used, but it was equivalent to consuming his life. If it was used up and not replenished in time, he would probably just die.
Lorraine knew...
The other party will absolutely use this situation as leverage to threaten him.
so……
The best solution is to avoid using the dark magic within him as much as possible. Yes, that's right. As long as he can refrain from using it, Venalida will not be able to threaten him.
Lorraine did crave power, but he also knew that the more a person cares about something, the more they will be controlled by it.
——
but……
Having such a fascinating special ability is a rare privilege, and it would be a great pity for Lorraine to leave it unused.
So here's the problem.
If we were to use it, in what way could we do so without running out of power and being held hostage?
Gradually...
Lorraine turned her head and glanced at Hua Lingyao, who was sleeping soundly beside her, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
He had a better idea in mind.
However, it's uncertain whether it's truly worthwhile to implement.
The doubts in my heart have temporarily found a direction.
Lorraine's mood improved considerably, and he even had the leisure to reach out and pinch someone's cute sleeping face.
However……
The action, intended to tease the other person, suddenly seemed to trigger some strange switch.
Hua Lingyao, lost in a sweet dream, suddenly became coy and mumbled something, "Why are you hungry so soon? You're such a glutton, just like Daddy! Daddy's not back yet, don't worry, Mommy'll stay with you."
As he spoke.
Suddenly, the other party tore off their 'armor' and made a sleepwalking motion that shocked Lorraine.
When those special large bottles of drinks were shoved into his face, making it hard for him to breathe, Lorraine struggled violently, while the latter mumbled in his sleep.
"Hey, stop being naughty! Aren't you going to eat? Be good."
"???"
...
...
The commotion lasted for nearly half an hour before Lorraine finally broke free and pressed her back onto the bed.
Then.
He sat up in bed, his hair disheveled, and looked somewhat doubtful about life.
Lorraine had no idea what kind of beautiful dream this Miss Yao was having, and he dared not ask.
Given the disheveled appearance of the lady next to me.
Lorraine had no choice but to personally help the other person tidy up their appearance.
Seriously.
Even when they're asleep, they're still so restless. Are they all like this?
——
Lorraine didn't want to sleep yet.
He took out his phone, found the profile picture of the water goddess Xiaoye, and sent her a message.
[When you wake up tomorrow, if you see a message, please remember to bring all the work notebooks from the research table in the basement to the hospital before you come. Don't forget!]
The message was sent just a few seconds ago.
Just as Lorraine was about to turn off the screen, she noticed that the message status had changed to read.
Are we bringing all those laptops?
Why aren't you asleep yet?
"You haven't slept either, have you? What are you doing so late?"
【What are you doing? 】
I'm thinking of you, sob sob.
(A cute crying emoji.jpg)
I'm not even dead yet, and you're already wailing like it's your last.
Where's Haruka?
She's already asleep.
Okay, so you asked me to bring my work notes? What do you need them for?
Since I'm recuperating in the hospital anyway, and I have nothing better to do, I hope I can make effective use of the dark magic within me.
[What? But didn't Venalida say that the dark magic within you is equivalent to life force?]
I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't use it on a large scale. To put it simply, it's like a tap in a reservoir. As long as I turn it on to the lowest setting, letting it flow out drop by drop, I won't worry about running out. So, trust me, I have a better plan.
You always have a plan.
Remember to bring all my work laptops tomorrow.
【Okay, I understand.】
It's getting late, you should go to bed early.
【You too, and also, you can't touch Haruka inappropriately, or do anything naughty while she's asleep! Do you hear me!】
That's nonsense.
Lorraine was almost speechless.
He's still secretly doing bad things, and he's only just escaped from the other party's clutches.
The taste of those drinks left him speechless.
The last message from Xiaoye was sent.
In short, make sure you get plenty of rest in the hospital. If you really can't hold it in anymore... you'll have to wait until the day I become a night watchman, hehe~
