Nikita returned to Phuket Island after being awakened by the awakening of insects.
At that time, more than half a year had passed since the Black Prison Incident, and most of the school's attention had turned back to the campus - such as balancing the relationship between the Alliance and First University, coordinating the interests of different factions in the school, and preparing for the establishment of a new school.
's college.
Naturally, the school's attention to little monsters like her became much weaker.
So she had the opportunity to return to Phuket Island.
Of course, Nikita did not do this voluntarily.
There is a concept in economics called 'negative externality', which means that one person's behavior affects other people, causing others to pay extra costs without receiving corresponding benefits or compensation - in a sense, the Siren King has advanced.
The Ancient One is an event with negative externalities for the monsters from all over the world.
The four big sea monsters did not obtain a single Xuanhuang Fruit in the Black Prison event, nor did they achieve the goal of becoming a chicken or dog and ascend to heaven due to the advancement of the Sea Monster King. On the contrary, because they attacked the Black Prison, they were affected by the alliance in the following period.
He received special attention and was chased by more than one hunting group, which made him feel quite embarrassed.
There has been no news from the Siren King since he advanced, and it seems that he has forgotten that he still has a group of subordinates floating on the sea.
In order to find the missing 'thigh', several Krakens rushed to seek medical treatment and sent their subordinates to search for places where the Kraken King might appear, from the Sahara to the polar ice sheets, from Lake Baikal to the Moon Sea, from the Dreamland to the New World.
Of course, it also includes the place closest to the truth in the wizarding world, the First University.
Because he had successfully 'invaded' the First University many times, Nikita took over this task from the four sea monsters very honorably.
She wanted to refuse.
But Captain Misty’s smile was so terrifying that the little banshee didn’t dare to say no.
So, she returned to her alma mater again.
Similar to previous experiences.
Returning to school this time, Nikita still followed Thomas's path - this kind of thing happens the first time, the second time, and the third time. There is no such thing as "it won't happen again".
But unlike the expectations of several sea monsters, the banshee who once again sneaked back to Phuket Island did not risk breaking into the archives of First University or any other secret place to look for traces of the Siren King.
She just asked Thomas to find a safe place for her, and lay dormant, hoping to hide for ten or eight years. The four sea monsters began to fight for power and profit without the suppression of the sea monster king, and she would find another opportunity to escape.
Thomas gave her two choices.
Or, you can find an open space in the Silent Forest, dig a hole, bury her in it, and treat her as a real or fake dead person. You may have a chance to avoid the school's three hunting seasons every spring, autumn and winter.
Or, become a crow's experimental subject.
"The professor's experiment has made a great breakthrough, and there are already successful cases. Believe me, it won't be long before you can get rid of the shackles of the demon and become a real wizard again."
Thomas said these words when he gave her a choice.
At that time, the wizard was in an extremely excited mood, and his eyes were filled with a light called hope - that color was very familiar to Nikita. She had seen similar pictures in the mirror countless times, but the results every time were disappointing.
.
This time will be no exception, she told herself in her heart.
Just like what Master Ulrich once told her in the Withered Land, 'Once you have tasted the taste of blood, you will live in endless hell forever.' Perdition is a result, and there is no future result.
She could never go back to her old self and become the witch in Thomas's heart.
Even so.
She happily accepted the wizard's invitation and entered the crows' laboratory, where she stayed for more than a month.
During this period, Thomas came and went in a hurry and was extremely busy. There were only a handful of opportunities to meet her, but every time he met, Nikita could notice that the light in his eyes became a little dim.
This was not beyond her expectation.
But for some reason, she still felt a little sad.
This sadness becomes even more intense after knowing why Thomas became a crow.
"Tell me, what's the reason for coming so late today?"
Nikita tried to cheer up and broke the suffocating heaviness in the room: "...You are not the kind of person who breaks the rules at will."
When she said the words 'break the rules at will', she seemed to accidentally bite the tip of her tongue, causing the second half of her voice to become a little unclear.
Thomas' eyes fell on her scarlet eyes.
"Time is running out."
He looked at her, but not at her. His eyes were unfocused and seemed a little distracted. He murmured in a low voice: "Professor has no time, I have no time, and you have no time... so
, you may need to take some risks.”
Regarding the mysterious professor Thomas mentioned, Nikita had always only heard of his name but never seen his person. But she also knew that it was definitely not ordinary to organize an illegal laboratory of this scale in a place like First University.
Professor. Therefore, she was very careful and never touched this sensitive topic.
Therefore, when Thomas said "no time", she could not give any valuable advice.
"Now I am taking risks every day of my life."
The banshee picked up the big snake under the table, held it in her arms, and looked at the wizard with a smile: "...it doesn't make any difference to take more risks or take less risks. What do you need me to do?"
Thomas lowered his eyelids, stretched out his hand from his robe sleeve, and held a small glass bottle in his hand. The bottle contained a small ball of bright red substance about the size of a soybean, suspended in the air, squirming slightly like a living creature.
Nikita recognized it at a glance as a mass of flesh and blood.
She licked her lips unconsciously.
"This is a piece of flesh and blood taken from the successful experimental subject I mentioned to you before."
Thomas stared at the glass bottle in his hand, lowered his voice, and explained quickly: "Later, I will separate part of the tissue from it and transplant it into you...and then transplant the spiritual seed into you. You can understand this process
To create a vaccine. The professor believes that the flesh and blood of the successful experimental subject can help other experimental subjects survive the initial and most difficult rejection period. As long as the spiritual seed can form a new balance with your body, it will continue to be extracted from your body.
The demonic aura is transformed into the magic power of the wizard..."
"Sounds like a myth." The banshee couldn't help but smile.
"It's not a myth, but a legend." Thomas corrected the banshee's wording very seriously: "A new legend is about to be born."
Nikita didn't want to get entangled with him on this detail. He pointed to the blood and flesh in the glass bottle, changed the subject, and asked with interest: "Then why are you only transplanting part of it for me? I feel like I might be able to transplant all of it."
It’s not enough…”
"That's enough. Just a little bit of medicine or something is enough."
Thomas shook his head, paused, and then added: "As for the rest, I promised the child that I would sign him up for a certain project at school, and his flesh and blood would be needed."
