Volume 1 Chapter 471

Chapter 471: The Psychologist Lolth, a Grand Transformation!

A bitter smile appeared on Lalea’s tear-streaked face.

The shock and sadness from the memory of "murdering her mother" had not completely faded away.

However, what Lolth told her, along with the conversations she had with her younger self, truly helped Lalea to not drown so deeply in her sadness anymore.

She killed her mother.

This is an undeniable truth.

But just as Lolth said…

There is nothing unacceptable about it.

This is her own "fear," her own "nightmare," her own "secret."

But it was also about her own past.

At that moment, did she really have a better choice?

Forgive her mother and live in harmony with her as a Superoperator from then on?

That was certainly impossible…

The best outcome would be to leave this home and never see that foolish woman again.

Lalea’s tears slowly faded away.

The little girl sleeping in the flames looked so peaceful.

"You weren’t silly or pitiable when you were little, but you were quite adorable."

The succubus beside her let out a somewhat teasing sigh.

Lalea looked at her and saw the succubus standing with her arms crossed in front of the blazing house, seriously saying.

"Where is it cute?"

She gently pulled her wrist free from the succubus’s hand and tapped her shoulder.

"You look very cute when you’re asleep, and you were so honest when you answered the questions!"

Lolth ignored the embarrassment in Lalea’s tone and answered her question with a serious expression.

This caught Lalea off guard.

However, with Lolth’s interruption, Lalea’s mood picked up a little faster again.

After a moment, the girl looked at Lolth again and softly said.

"You really are a succubus, with no sense of limits, even thinking about those things at a time like this."

Hearing the words from the other person, Lolth showed a look of disbelief.

"Don’t say such silly things!"

She still had her limits.

But there was no time to clarify anything.

The burning flames had already consumed the whole house.

In a sea of flames, the "room" in Lalea’s memory collapsed.

Of course, this does not mean that a fire really happened and burned down the room back then.

After all, Lalea was still inside.

The flames from that day actually went out very quickly.

The burning and collapse now reflect more of Lalea’s inner feelings.

It is not the room that has collapsed, but the memory itself.

It is no longer deeply rooted in Lalea’s heart.

In the midst of a raging fire, Lalea opened her eyes.

The intense flames, wild magic, and crackling sounds have all faded away, as if they never existed.

Only the tears at the corners of her eyes and the lingering sadness in her heart remind Lalea of everything that just happened.

And there lies the succubus, limp in front of her.

"Lolth…?"

She looked at the succubus before her and realized that she had truly entered her memories.

However…

Why hasn’t the other person woken up?

"Hello—hello—"

Lalea looked at Lolth in front of her and gently called her name, but there was no response.

She hesitated, wondering if she should poke the succubus with her finger.

However, just as she reached out her finger, she heard a voice in front of her.

"Don’t worry about her; the magistrate will wake up by herself soon."

Lalea looked up and noticed that she was in a space resembling a large library.

Besides her four sleeping companions, there was also a girl floating in the air with glasses and wings on her back.

A huge book is placed under her bottom.

The other person looked at Lalea with curiosity and cleared his throat.

"Congratulations, after everyone completes the ‘Courage Trial’, the ‘Knowledge Trial’ will begin."

"I am the examiner and controller of the trials, as well as the core of the Ruins of Sand and the owner of the White Sand Palace…"

"You can call me ‘Five Colors’."

As Five Colors introduced himself, Lalea felt a bit confused.

She was not like Lolth, who had guessed beforehand that there was truly such a high-level Artificial Soul here.

To her, this was simply… a miracle.

"You… hello."

She greeted with a bit of shyness.

And Five Colors only gave a slight nod.

Then, she turned her gaze back to Lolth.

Meanwhile, Lolth, who had still not woken up, realized she had "changed places."

From Lalea’s burning childhood cabin, she had come to the inn where Julie was staying.

Not far in front of her was Julie, watching her younger self peek out the window to see Senior Qiong leave.

And she was still behind this Julie, watching her.

But Lolth wasn’t in the mood to make fun of this nested scene.

She silently covered her face.

If entering Lalea’s trial and memory just now was perhaps a surprise…

Then now, with Lalea’s trial over and not waking up, it is clear that someone is up to no good!

And it is easy to guess what is happening.

The ability to freely enter someone’s memory, combined with this timing…

Clearly, that person is causing trouble!

"Sister Xiletor… please don’t do anything unnecessary!"

Not caring whether the other person could hear, Lolth sighed in frustration.

This must be the work of Sister Xiletor.

After entering Lalea’s trial, Lolth had hoped to make the best of the situation and thought that since they were teammates, she could help the little girl a bit.

After all, Lalea has indeed had a hard time; her parents are terrible people, her family life is very unhappy, and she accidentally caused her own mother to be burned to death, leaving her with a deep psychological scar.

If she doesn’t get some help, this Courage Trial could leave this young girl with a lasting psychological shadow.

But over here with Julie, the tone feels more like an evening romance drama.

Isn’t this just a story of love that cannot be fulfilled?

Speaking of which, this little girl was a slave for so long when she was young, and now she is a famous adventurer; she must have seen all the dark sides of society, the malice of human nature, and terrifying monsters…

In the end, after all that fuss, the thing she fears most is actually her mother’s "My senpai doesn’t want me anymore, boo hoo."

Lolth really wants to complain, but she doesn’t even know where to start.

At least Qiong came back; otherwise, this little girl might be feeling even heavier now.

However, even though Lolth really doesn’t want to get involved in this emotional mess, she also realizes…

It seems that I cannot ignore it.

Let’s not talk about whether the other person can be considered my friend and my nature of not being able to see my friends suffer.

My older sister seems to mean… If I don’t help the other person solve their problem, I won’t be able to leave?
