Chapter 135: We Are Friends

Inexhaustible power gushed out continuously from Mu Ling.

She could sense that this was an unprecedented, tremendous change that surpassed her former self!

Her body underwent transformation once again!

She felt as if her body had become very light, heat rising from her lower abdomen, spreading like a volcanic eruption all over her body. A tremendous sense of satisfaction roamed through every cell.

All the pores became extremely sensitive, seeming to boil and celebrate, praising the impending surging power within her body!

The deepest hunger in Mu Ling’s heart was throbbing, murmuring, longing for a satisfying feeling of being filled with something.

The soul could only continue to chew and swallow to prevent this immense hunger from engulfing the mind.

In a trance, she found it difficult to stop as the sensation of impact repeatedly converged and spread throughout her entire body. It felt as if her body had been completely occupied by the heat constantly surging through her.

Finally, this heat erupted at its peak, and the girl felt as if her body and mind were flying into the sky, about to lose herself!

Another huge transformation had taken place!

Almost anyone would be immersed in such a significant breakthrough that remarkably increased their strength.

Finally recovering from her daze, Mu Ling tightly clasped her hands, drenched from head to toe, taking deep breaths continuously.

She could sense an overwhelmingly powerful force, unlike anything before.

“Truly, it was a bit too exhilarating…”

Mu Ling, sweating like a downpour, struggled to calmly look at her right hand.

Compared to now, she felt that the person she was a few minutes ago was so fragile, like a child.

Mu Ling closed her eyes, yet she could still distinctly feel the slightest movement of the air around her ears, even using it to sense if any objects were moving nearby.

“It’s just unfathomable…”

Despite having witnessed many miracles granted by the Savior, she thought she would no longer be surprised by Babel Tower. Yet, at this moment, she could not help but be astonished.

The extent of her elevation was truly enormous, presumably due to the reward for killing Mr. Mystery, a long-time encouragement from Mr. Savior.

At that moment, a voice emerged in Mu Ling’s mind.

[Your performance deserves my bestowal.]

The message was not an automated voice but a live message from Bai Yan through the “voice interaction” feature.

In fact, Bai Yan had already spoken a lot through “live messages” in the battle against Black Star so far.

Sitting on the Crystal Throne inside Babel Tower, he silently watched the girl on the screen, gazing at her face filled with admiration and gratitude.

“Seems like this girl has thought too highly of me.”

Bai Yan shook his head lightly.

Well, Mu Ling had indeed become quite strong, but now she lacked a suitable weapon.

It was a pity that the Fallen Angel form couldn’t be sustained indefinitely. Otherwise, he could fully exploit it without cost.

Bai Yan fell into deep thought, wondering how to obtain a weapon that would match Mu Ling’s newfound power.

Inside the Safe House, in the Bathroom

Maryse stared blankly at her own body.

Just now, she had undergone a tremendous change in the water.

Unlike all the other blessings before, this felt more like a fundamental transformation of the soul.

She had awakened to a higher level of power… a power completely different from what she had before.

She felt that if she were to face Reno now, she would win very easily.

In the past, her Psychic Domination had always been short-lived, lasting no more than half an hour. But now, she was able to maintain it for a much longer period of time.

“To be able to achieve this level… Truly, you are a ‘good master.'”

Maryse smiled mysteriously and spoke in a peculiar tone.

In reality, she no longer harbored any hostility towards the Savior’s existence in her heart.

Although he was indeed using her, how many people in this world were not utilizing each other?

The resurrected Maryse had come to realize that the Savior was actually someone who truly cared for her well-being.

If she continued to consider him as a hostile enemy, it would be too shameless of her.

A Few Days Later

“There have always been various classifications of curses, with no unified theory in the world of Noah to this day.”

“However, within the Air Alliance’s textbooks, the commonly used classification system is the fifteen categories summarized by the Time of Chord.”

“Soul, summon, slaughter, defense, manipulation, transformation, illusion, creation, healing, time-space, prophecy, alchemy, formation, curse, and law.”

“There are a total of fifteen types of magic, and undoubtedly the simplest of them are slaughter and manipulation.”

“Among them, soul magic is one of the most difficult types of magic. It is even more difficult than the three more challenging types of magic—summoning, illusion, and creation. Only time-space and prophecy can compare with it.”

“The power of the mind is essentially an extension of the basic universal power of the soul, known as ‘spiritual power.’ Those who possess great power of the mind are more likely to master complex and profound soul magic, much like how a physically strong person excels in boxing.”

“Once one masters powerful soul magic, they will possess formidable strength that cannot be underestimated by anyone. Ordinary defensive magic is meaningless against assaults on the soul.”

Bai Yan sat in his office, calmly flipping through the book in his hand, “Soul Magic: From Beginner to Abandonment,” reading it with great interest.

This was the book that Miss Black Vulture recommended to him when he expressed his desire to learn soul magic.

The original author was unknown, the translator attributed to “Truth Scholar.”

It had become Bai Yan’s latest habit to borrow and read several books from the Demon Hunt Agency’s library every week. It had even largely replaced his gaming time.

The “Black Star Incident” that shook the entire city had passed for a while, and those who consumed the “Deep Ones Transformation” potion benefited from the Demon Hunt Agency’s rescue. They were ultimately not affected by the potion’s lingering effects.

Due to the medium of transmission being orange juice drinks, a considerable number of underage individuals became victims.

The Demon Hunt Agency tirelessly expelled the residual effects of Deep Ones’ medicine from the victims’ bodies, working day and night.

Fortunately, it could be eliminated. Otherwise, according to regulations, the Demon Hunt Agency could not allow so many hidden dangers to remain—even if the victims were children.

If that were the case, the Agency would have to use Relics at a greater cost or apply to bring in a stronger individual to solve the problem. In short, it would be very troublesome.

“Bai Yan, Bai Yan, have you heard?”

Holly suddenly leaned in, startling Bai Yan and causing the book in his hand to shake.

“Heard what?”

Bai Yan arched his eyebrows and promptly reached out to push Holly’s rabbit head a little further away.

Holly didn’t mind at all and said, “Hmm, there’s a new Babel Tower member called ‘Profligate,’ and he seems to be quite capable. He single-handedly wiped out a criminal gang yesterday.”

So it’s about “Profligate”?

“Oh, why do we care? Isn’t there a team in charge of Babel Tower’s affairs?” Bai Yan continued reading his book, unwilling to pay her any attention.

Holly crouched to the side and continued, “I heard he’s a very brutal guy. There were no intact bodies at the scene, and the leaders of those criminal gangs were all slaughtered.”

“Hmm, so what was that criminal gang doing?” Bai Yan asked casually.

Holly’s expression became serious. “As far as I know, they were trafficking organs. They provided materials for spells and rituals to cultists!”

“So, do you think ‘Profligate’ did something wrong? Should we arrest him?” Bai Yan silently gazed at his teammate.

Holly lowered her head, as if lost in thought. “I don’t know. I just have a feeling he’s different from the other Babel Tower members.”

Bai Yan was slightly stunned.

Holly continued, her head still lowered. “This person named ‘Profligate’ deliberately expresses violence and cruelty, savoring the pain of enjoying the misery of evil… It’s possible that he’s not a good person, just an enemy of villains.”

I hate you for being so intuitive. Bai Yan sighed inwardly, said nothing, and continued to read.

But Holly didn’t let go of her thoughts, chattering constantly beside him.

Finally, Bai Yan couldn’t take it anymore and gave her a light kick in the butt.

Bang!

Holly punched straight through the metal table with a backhand strike!

“Sis, I was wrong,” Bai Yan sighed.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I couldn’t control my emotions…” Holly also seemed to realize her reaction was excessive and stuck out her tongue.

Today was an ordinary day.

“Hm, hm, hmm~.”

After work, Holly happily hopped toward home, boarded the subway, and played with her phone.

When she arrived, she was surprised to find that her mother hadn’t opened the door for her today.

Recently, Holly’s father had been working overtime, leaving only her and her mother at home. She pondered this.

“Mother!”

Hmm? Why wasn’t Mom home? Could she have gone out?

Holly was stunned and searched her home for a note, but suddenly, her phone rang.

She pulled out her pink bunny phone, answered it, and to her surprise, it was her father’s voice.

His voice was deep and somewhat hoarse.

“Holly, hurry up and come to the central hospital.”

Hospital?

Holly suddenly recalled something the elders at the Demon Hunt Agency often said—that what they feared most weren’t monsters, but unexpected phone calls from relatives at the hospital.

If a family member made the call, it was fine. But if someone else called on their behalf, that was truly terrifying…

“Got it! I’ll be right there!”

She immediately turned around and ran out, hailing a taxi.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Holly quickly inquired at the reception desk and learned which ward her mother was in. She hurried over, anxiety filling her heart.

“Please don’t let anything be wrong,” Holly whispered as she rushed inside and saw the doctor and her father in the hospital room.

Her father was also a half-beast, but he used magic to disguise himself, making him look no different from an ordinary middle-aged man.

“Please rest assured, the patient’s condition has stabilized. If she hadn’t been brought in so quickly, it could have been dangerous. Fortunately, she received timely care. There’s no need to worry anymore.”

“Thank you, truly, thank you so much!”

Holly’s father grasped the doctor’s hand, his face filled with gratitude and tears streaming down his cheeks.

When he saw Holly, he immediately exclaimed, “Holly, it’s all thanks to your friend that we found out about your mother collapsing at home. Really, you must thank her a lot.”

Holly, relieved, froze. Was it my friend who found out about my mom?

Who is it?

“You finally arrived. Don’t worry, your mother’s condition has stabilized.”

Holly turned around and saw Miss Witch, her eyes filled with warmth. Instantly, tears welled up in Holly’s eyes, and she ran forward, hugging her tightly.

“Thank you, thank you so much. I didn’t know what to do just now.”

As she spoke, tears streamed down uncontrollably.

The doctor had already left, and Merete Chambers gently held Holly in her arms, stroking her head.

“You don’t need to thank me, my dear little rabbit.”

“Because we are friends.”
