They killed five of us, but they still wouldn't let us go. We became part of their power.
The conversation didn't end; the tattered doll continued talking, but its tone was noticeably more relaxed, even tinged with excitement.
Now, I'm finally going to die, and I'll no longer be controlled by those two!
Even after all these years, I can still vividly recall those days, the days when those two guys cornered me in the room. There were no windows, no light, and nobody even spoke to me.
I could only watch as my body was slowly eroded by the ether. In the dead of night, I always felt something crawling on my body. Looking down, I saw it was newly formed etheric crystals.
I know that if things continue like this, I'll eventually become a skeleton. But I still don't dare to go out, because I know they're waiting for me outside.
In the end, I didn't even have the strength to stand up. My whole body was covered in etheric crystals, and a "core" grew from my heart, completely transforming me into Dopegania.
At this point, the tattered doll suddenly paused.
Time is running out, so what we need to say next must be as concise as possible.
Therefore, it no longer recounts its suffering, but instead smiles freely and changes the subject:
This is why I wanted to tell you all this; I admire your courage in the face of adversity.
I sincerely hope that you... and your family can truly allow the seven souls who suffered so much resentment and despair to rest in peace.
Now, listen carefully, here's the information about the building...
Three minutes later, the tattered doll finally finished telling everything it knew, and the last bit of ether fragments drifted into the air and disappeared along with its final words.
Colleen turned her head and looked around. The whole room was no longer magnificent; all the supplies were just an illusion.
There were never any books on the bookshelf; it was completely empty.
The pool table was covered in chips and punctures, and the cue stick was broken in two.
Even the large bed that Kelin sat on at the beginning was just a few pieces of wood pieced together, covered with the marks of time.
"No...no, now is not the time to hesitate!"
Kelin suddenly remembered the information given by the tattered doll earlier.
If this is accurate, everyone else at Victoria Household is in big trouble!
So, Colleen picked up the chainsaw and approached the wall of the enclosed room.
...
[Fairy: Alert. The ether concentration in this area has suddenly dropped drastically, suggesting that a powerful ethereal being may have been killed.]
"That's great!"
Lina's baby, Eisun, was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly:
"It must be Lycaen or Corinne who defeated the opponent! Fairy, quickly check in which direction the ether concentration decreased."
[Fairy: Before you.]
Ies was greatly puzzled and asked in confusion, "In front of me? But isn't there a wall in front of me... Ah!!!"
Just as Ies was wondering, a metal saw blade suddenly pierced through the wall, sparking as it struck the surrounding diamonds.
Lina flew gracefully backward, her brow furrowed, and lightning gathered in her hand.
But before long, she realized something, and the electric light in her hand froze and then quietly dissipated.
Boom!
The wall collapsed, and a figure emerged from a cloud of dust.
Colleen bit her lower lip, frantically patting her apron like a kitten, and said in a flustered manner:
"Oh no, oh no, oh no! I've gotten my apron dirty. If Miss Lina or Mr. Lykan finds out, then..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ke Lin caught a glimpse of a tall figure rushing towards her from the corner of her eye, beyond a cloud of dust.
Before Kelin could react, she was pulled into a warm embrace by the figure, her forehead lightly touching the other's shoulder, her whole body enveloped in warmth.
"Korin! I've finally found you!"
That's Miss Lina's voice.
Kelin immediately realized what was happening and quickly pushed him away forcefully:
“Wait, Miss Lina. I’m dirty from just breaking through the wall.”
"Ugh~~ I don't care!"
Lina still clung tightly to Colleen, refusing to let go no matter what. Even Colleen could detect a hint of relief in her words:
"I finally found you!"
Hearing this, Kelin felt at ease. The greed in her heart, like a glutton, craved to suck in this warmth, wishing she could stay in the same place for a while longer.
But she knew she couldn't do that!
Suddenly, Kelin possessed incredible strength and pushed Lina away.
Lina was caught off guard by Corinne's actions and fell to the ground in shock.
Her pupils flickered instantly as she stared at Corinne in disbelief.
But soon, Colleen shouted, "Miss Lina, we need to find Mr. Lycan quickly and then meet up with Mr. Fagar and Miss Ellen."
They are in danger!
