Chapter 97
When Xizel heard this, he fell silent for a moment.
...Am I the only one who can kill you?
It turns out that Yaron is not the only one who is so childish.
It’s actually quite normal and understandable.
Comic Will: ...Wake up, this can't be described as childish, right?! What's wrong with the brain circuits of these crazy people?
Once the update is released, he'll definitely wait on the forums for the answer! He doesn't believe that even Sherlock Holmes can't analyze the strange minds of these perverts!
but……
"The manga hasn't been updated yet. It feels like ages have passed."
Xizel calmly replied, "Comics are updated less frequently, so the plots are more condensed. That's normal."
Moreover, the main body of the comic revolves around Xia Zuo. Scenes like daily journeys, if nothing else happens, are simply omitted and hastily passed over.
However, it should be soon.
…
The black-haired young man turned off the surveillance screen.
It looks like today's lunch time will pass peacefully.
Things turned out exactly as the warden had expected.
After the fuse failed to ignite several times and a strange consensus seemed to be reached, several unstable factors temporarily put aside their intentions to cause trouble. The situation, which was originally tense and could explode at any time, was stabilized in this shaky manner.
After lunch, it's work time. In fact, more hidden, invisible bloodshed occurs during this time. It's just that this place isn't like a public restaurant, with its natural spotlight. If public restaurants are a stage for criminals, then this place is a hotbed of darkness.
Of course, this assumes you've completed your workload for the day. Otherwise, you can't even think of running away. The prison might turn a blind eye to your murder—especially if it's someone useless who doesn't provide much for the prison. But trying to cut corners? No way.
Considering Ursula and Xia Zuo had just arrived at Eastwater and hadn't committed any crimes, their work wasn't long. In fact, the work of infusing innate power wasn't particularly strenuous. At most, it would become tiring and boring in the later stages. If the power ran low, they could just recover. At the very least, it was much easier than hard labor like building a building or operating a sewing machine.
After all, they just can't use their talents, the power in their bodies is still there.
The first thing Xia Zuo did when he arrived at the work area was to observe the environment.
The work area is spacious and bright, and each prisoner even has their own individual workstation. The prison doesn't deliberately torture the prisoners in this regard. The prison's purpose is simply to lock up the prisoners, and there's no mood to think about how to torture them every day. After all, both the staff and the prison itself have become numb to criminals and crime.
Then Xia Zuo began to look for Ursula. After finding the location of his companions and paying attention to the situation, he began to input energy that could maintain the operation of the prison and reduce the loss of energy storage in the prison.
On the other side, Ursula happened to be assigned to the same workstation as Vera Junka, working at adjacent stations.
Ursula had no good feelings towards Vila Junca's group simply because they were Xia Zuo's enemies. However, in different circumstances and facing different people, she was not the kind of person who would be stubborn and would not always retain her hostility towards the blonde woman.
Not to mention that she didn't think she was a good person either. She was born with a pure dark side, so it was impossible for her to have a good personality. She only grew up like this because she met Xizel and Xia Zuo when she was young.
What's more, the blonde woman obviously knew something about Bai Loli.
Ursula was very concerned about her attention to Xia Zuo.
"Do you know why White Loli White favors Xia Zuo?"
Ursula asked bluntly.
Vera Junka glanced at her, obviously a little surprised that she would ask directly.
But this is certainly not something that cannot be said.
"Give me something in exchange," the blonde said calmly. "I'm no philanthropist, young lady."
"Don't mess with Xia Zuo. You can't beat him. Neither can I." The black-haired girl tilted her head. Her eyes, one gold and one blue, showed no emotion, as if she was simply stating a fact. "Is this information enough?"
Wirajunka wanted to laugh, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "You are very confident."
She appeared to be indifferent, but in fact she had raised the danger level of Xia Zuo and Ursula to a higher level in her mind.
After all, Vila Junka was a leader who was good at observation. If there was nothing, the warden would not have arranged one of them near Yalon and the other near himself.
This was clearly not some random idea.
"White Lolita White, I've looked her up." Vera Junka shrugged. "Her gift is 'Nourishment with Blood,' and her inspiration is extremely high. She's undoubtedly a genius. But such a genius grew up in an ordinary family."
"There's no doubt about it. It's a dark talent that can only be strengthened and upgraded by killing people. How would an ordinary family know about this, and how would they dare to take action?"
At this point, a subtle sneer crept across the blonde woman's face. "As the master of this gift, she's well aware of her abilities. Once started, there's no stopping, and it will bring irreversible side effects to her body—her hair will turn white overnight, and she'll forever maintain the body she was in when she absorbed blood. Furthermore, every once in a while, or if she's injured, she'll become extremely thirsty for blood, turning into an irrational madman, indiscriminately attacking those around her."
"Most importantly, White doesn't have any big ambitions. She just wants to live a good life."
Ursula said expressionlessly, "Then she wouldn't be here. Let's get to the point. Why does she treat Xia Zuo differently?"
The blonde woman laughed, and the scar across her eye curved slightly, as if she was pleased by the girl's cold and ruthless look.
However, her expression was completely different from her cold and sarcastic voice.
"Unfortunately, her idea is too foolish. Having this ability, she still wants to live the same unrealistic life as before, which is just courting death."
White is different from her. She is not a born bad woman. Plunder and killing are written in her genes and engraved deep in her bones.
Even according to the intelligence obtained by Vila Junka's investigation, White was a popular girl next door before her talent awakened.
She is an example of someone who has been completely transformed by her environment and her natural talents.
So, how did Bai Loli come into being?
"The Federation has been searching for a suitable holder of a dark-leaning, highly inspired talent. She fits the bill perfectly."
Ursula suddenly spoke up.
Born into an ordinary family, he had no one to protect him. He wanted to hide his abilities, and even if he died, no one would suspect the authorities.
and……
"Before conducting the most core experiments, the test subjects must be nurtured. Their dark tendencies must be fully stimulated, no matter what means are used."
The black-haired girl raised her head, and her abyss-like eyes stared straight at Vila Junka: "Is that right?"
Wirajunka gave her a meaningful look. "It seems you know a lot. And that's the truth."
She couldn't find out the details of what the Federation had done. She only knew that the capture plan after the Federation's successful breeding did not go smoothly because they had given birth to a demon.
White originally had an older brother, a pair of parents who loved her, and a family that was not rich but warm enough.
But what is the result?
In order to keep her alive, her brother held her hand and let the axe chop into his brain. His amber eyes no longer shone like the sun, but dimmed and were stained red with blood.
She absorbed the blood of her loved ones while screaming and resisting, awakening the ability that would accompany her throughout her life.
Then, on the night when his abilities were awakened and he lacked food, he lost his mind and massacred an entire town.
When the second sun rose, blood flowed like a river. The girl, whose hair had turned white overnight, sat with her head down in the sea of corpses and blood, and then a terrible laugh came out of her throat.
She left there and returned a month later, becoming the real madman, criminal, and murderer that people said she was.
"Didn't anyone tell her that the Federation was involved?" Ursula asked.
Vera Junka sneered, "Girl, those who are capable of knowing the inside story are just watching the show, and those who are not capable of knowing the inside story will not sympathize with her. Who would approach a moody lunatic and tell her her real enemy?"
Don't wait until you sell your favor and then have your legs chopped off the next second.
The black-haired girl was silent, then nodded slowly.
"I see."
She said.
If she hadn't lost most of her memories as a human and hadn't met Xizel and Xia Zuo, would she have become like Bai Loli?
But there was one thing that Wirajunka said that was quite right.
Ursula would not sympathize with her.
Even though she might very well be another version of herself in a different situation.
As for why Bai Loli had a complicated attitude towards Xia Zuo, she could almost guess it.
After all, Bai Loli had brown hair and amber eyes before activating her talent, so her brother must have had similar hair. And on the day her brother died, after his hair was dyed red with blood, would it look a bit like Xia Zuo's hair color?
Amber and gold are actually quite close in color.
Not to mention, Xia Zuo is probably about the same age, and equally warm and sincere.
Since that was the case, she no longer worried about whether Bai Loli would do anything bad to Xia Zuo.
After the black-haired girl knew what she wanted to know, she stopped talking and began to work attentively.
If Caesar is really the warden, she is working for Caesar, and everything must be perfect!
Xia Zuo, who had been paying attention to her and the movements around her, vaguely discovered something not so good.
——Several male prisoners, with the same malicious looks he had seen before, kept glancing at the black-haired girl who looked as non-aggressive as Tong'en and could only survive by relying on protection and hiding.
The brown-haired boy's golden eyes slowly sank.
