Chapter 340 Shadow Dancer, Experimental Subject

['Frenda' stares at you with a smile, and the girl's pure and ethereal voice sounds...]

[You did a good job. After you learned that ‘Nightmare Yuri’ wanted to secretly obtain favor, you reported it as soon as possible...]

['Frenda' extends a slender white hand to you, indicating that you hand over your favor. 】

[Do you want to hand over the ‘Broken Mask of the Guardian of the Kingdom of God’ (legendary + level equipment)? 】

Lin Xun was startled.

Could it be that the housekeeper she possesses is really Frenda's spy placed next to Nightmare Yuri?

Before I had time to think about it, the option text in front of me turned bright red and kept trembling.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the 'Betura's Sting' in the item list.

After hesitating for a moment, he still acted on his impulse and chose ‘yes’ to compromise.

'Betura's Sting' can only cause an instant kill effect on enemies below demigods. Even if the one-time attack item has a lethality far exceeding that level, it probably won't cause much damage to Flanda.

What Lin Xun was worried about was not that he failed to fall out, but that after death and resurrection, he would have to face Flanda, who was like a super boss in the ancient lair.

The current situation is so compelling that we have to give up. We haven't even warmed up to the legendary + level equipment yet, and we haven't even had time to read the descriptions of the equipment, so we have to give it up.

['Frenda' took over the broken mask and turned to look at 'Nightmare Yuri' who was still kneeling on one knee...]

[You can clearly see that the once arrogant 'Nightmare Yuri' did not dare to raise his head. He lowered his head and stared at the ground carpet, with large beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his whole body was trembling slightly. 】

[I saw 'Flanda' stepping forward with light steps, raising her bare feet to step on the kneeling person's head and crushing it hard on the germ carpet. 】

[Dark purple mucus was squeezed out of the fungus carpet, and ‘Nightmare Yuri’’s face was covered with blood. He was breathing heavily, but he did not dare to resist at all, allowing the girl to trample on his dignity...]

[Jing's ethereal voice sounded again...]

[‘Nightmare Yuri’s’ betrayal is unforgivable and should have been punished, but his mother once taught him to be kind and generous to his children. 】

[It always remembers its mother’s teachings and maintains a loving heart. 】

['Nightmare Yuri' seemed to be secretly relieved, but saw 'Flanda' continuing to talk...]

[But what it hates most in its life is betrayers. It is too difficult to forgive betrayers so easily. 】

[How about this... The blizzard in Katsy City is also a favor given by the mother. Since the betrayer loves favor so much, then go and enjoy it in the blizzard! 】

[‘Nightmare Yuri’ wanted to say something in horror, but before it could speak, you heard the sound of bones twisting and breaking. 】

['Frenda' kicked lightly, and 'Nightmare Yuri''s head spun several times on his neck like a top. 】

[The insect-man's powerful vitality allowed 'Nightmare Yuri' to survive such serious injuries. 】

[But there is no doubt that it has lost control of its body, and its limbs and body are twitching and twisting uncontrollably, like struggling maggots. 】

[Flanda smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave, leaving a few words before leaving...]

[Throw the traitor into the blizzard. From now on, you will be the manager of Katydid City. After the city is rebuilt, it will come here to accept the results of your efforts. 】

[‘Nightmare Yuri’ was still lying limply on the ground, twisting and twitching. At some point, two shining objects appeared on the desk beside him. 】

[A glass bottle filled with off-white viscous liquid, and a bright golden wax seal. 】

[You have obtained the ‘Shadow Dancer’s Mixture’ (epic+ level prop)! 】

[You have obtained the ‘Wax Seal of Bertula’s Mansion’ (special prop)! 】

[You quickly leave the living room and come to the corridor window...]

[In the courtyard of the inner castle, the girl walked with light steps, shuttling between several patrolling guards. 】

[The guards seemed to not be able to see the girl at all. They looked around cautiously while patrolling. Their eyes swept over the girl without any reaction. 】

['Flanda' suddenly turned back and looked at you standing by the window. She smiled softly, and her figure gradually faded and disappeared...]

Lin Xun's anxious heart finally let go.

Recalling the plot he just experienced, he vaguely felt that this 'Flanda' seemed different from the Flanda in the ancient lair.

Not only the appearance is different, but also the style of behavior and speech are different.

In his opinion, Flanda in the ancient lair is a lonely patient who has been imprisoned for a long time. She can be happy for a long time if she can have someone to chat with her.

It fits the image of a defeated dog who was imprisoned after breaking his oath.

And this Frenda just now was the wet nurse's youngest and most favored daughter.

Even though 'Nightmare Yuri' had just received the favor from the wet nurse, Flanda did not hesitate to execute him.

"Aren't the two Flandas the same person? There are two Flandas in this world?"

Lin Xun thought about it and finally decided to go to the ancient lair to confront the person involved.

But before that, we must first complete the task given by Frenda and send Nightmare Yuri to heaven.

In this way, even if her inference was wrong, Frenda would not drag her loyal subordinates who had just completed the mission to shoot.

[You return to the living room, only to see that ‘Nightmare Yuri’ is still twisting and twitching. It cannot speak and looks at you with pleading eyes. 】

[Are you going to take ‘Nightmare Yuri’ to ‘Katydid City’ which is experiencing the white velvet snow season? 】

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and pressed 'Yes'.

【……】

While taking the courier to deliver Molecule, he opened the inventory and checked the rewards given by Flanda.

[‘Shadow Dancer’s Mixture’ (epic + level prop): The bottle contains a liquid mix for feathering and promotion, with tiny egg-shaped objects floating in it. 】

[Using this prop, you will have a certain probability to enter the emergence process of 'Shadow Dancer'! 】

[‘The Wax Seal of Bertula Mansion’ (special prop): The bright golden wax seal is a device for signing documents and a symbol of the highest power of the mansion. 】

[With this item, you will be able to mobilize all guards and slaves in the castle to serve you. 】

[Using this prop, you can mobilize the demigod power left behind by ‘Betura’ within the mansion area and temporarily gain mythical level power! 】

[This effect can only be used once. After use, the remaining demigod power will be exhausted! 】

The first reward ‘Shadow Dancer’s Concoction’ was undoubtedly Frenda’s decision to let him inherit the strength and appearance of Nightmare Yuri.

The second reward, the 'wax seal of Bertula's Mansion', allows him to inherit the rights and status of Nightmare Yuri.

The wax seal should have been in the hands of Nightmare Yuri before. Even if it could mobilize the power of demigods, it would not dare to resist Frenda.

It can be seen that Frenda's strength is really boundless.

Lin Xun exchanged one piece of legendary+ level equipment for two props, and he didn't know whether he was losing money or making a profit.

【……】

[The vibration subsided, and the membranes on both sides of the abdominal cavity opened...]

[The violent storm and snow instantly blew into the abdominal cavity, bringing a biting chill. 】

[Nightmare Yuri next to you slumped on the seat, his eyes filled with despair. 】

[You picked up ‘Nightmare Yuri’ and threw it into the snow...]

[You are possessed by the body of ‘The Greedy Wolf Star Lord of Desire’! 】

[As soon as you pinch the sword secret, the 'Star-Shifting Immortal Sword' turns into a piercing sword light, piercing through the 'Nightmare Yuri' who has not yet landed. 】

[You defeated the ‘Echoed Shadow Dancer Nightmare Yuri’, and your experience value increased significantly! 】

[You have obtained ‘Aoyan’s unpredictable weak spirituality’*1]

[You look at the twisted corpse lying in the snow...]

[The body of ‘Echoed Shadow Dancer Nightmare Yuri’: a loyal servant assigned by Frenda to manage and rebuild Katydid City. Due to a moment of greed, he wanted to hide his master's secrets and seek the gift of a wet nurse. After being betrayed by the housekeeper, he was sentenced to death. Phase: 78% (+55%)]

Nightmare Yuri's body was not compatible enough, so Lin Xun could only let the parasite appear.

First shed the body of 'Warden', and then parasitize the body of 'Nightmare Yuri'.

【……】

[The body of ‘Echoed Shadow Dancer Nightmare Yuri’ died not long ago and is still active. Do you want to be a parasite? 】

[The special skill ‘Perfect Parasitism’ is activated! 】

[You merge into this tall and thin body of death and connect all the ganglia in its body...]

【……】

[Parasite successfully, you have perfect control of the container! 】

[Your body, ‘Echoed Fully Adaptable Parasite’, has been temporarily replaced by ‘Eemonised Shadow Dancer Nightmare Yuri’! 】

Lin Xun opened the body panel to view the properties.

[Body——‘Echoed Shadow Dancer Nightmare Yuri’]

[Real name: Yuri Green]

[Phaseality: 137% (23%)]

[Body quality: legendary level]

[Body level: 70]

[Hull Equipment: Night Dagger (Epic Level + Weapon): ...a dagger with a sharp blade and a hollow blade. Each attack can absorb part of the enemy's blood, causing additional damage. 】

[Shell Equipment: Shadow Dancer's Exoskeleton Mask (Epic Level Equipment):... Wearing this equipment, after entering the combat state, it will automatically generate a carapace that covers the whole body. The streamlined carapace will greatly increase the agility attributes and movement speed! 】

[Shell Skill: Bloodlust (Legendary Skill): Using this skill will cause huge damage to the enemy. The damage value will all be converted into your health, and there is a chance of causing 'weakness', 'disease', ' Bleeding' and other negative states. 】

[Shell skill: Phantom Waltz (epic + level skill): With this skill, you will leave a phantom clone to confuse the enemy when you dodge. The enemy's attack will have a chance to hit the phantom clone without causing damage to you. 】

Nightmare Yuri's panel attributes are extremely strong.

If Lin Xun didn't have the compatibility bonus to improve the quality of his body, and used Ninja Master or Greedy Wolf Star Lord to challenge this BOSS, he would undoubtedly be defeated to death.

However, Nightmare Yuri only dropped 300,000 souls, and nothing else dropped, which was somewhat inconsistent with the strength of the BOSS.

After a moment's thought, he understood why.

Flanda was probably the main output that led to the death of Nightmare Yuri. He only lasted a little blood skin, so the quality of the reward dropped.

"If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, why not try to use the wet nurse to fill the enemy's health with milk, and then try to kill..."

"Would the rewards dropped this way be better?"

"Tsk, I haven't tried to restore blood to the enemy. I don't know if I can..."

Having obtained the body of 'Nightmare Yuri', the 'Shadow Dancer's Concoction' in the inventory seems to be of little use.

Lin Xun stared at this prop and suddenly thought of something.

His parasitic ability was given by Frenda!

If the two Flandas are the same person, then why did Flanda in the castle prepare the liquid for him when she knew it could parasitize the nightmare Yuri?

Isn't this unnecessary?

Facing him with perfect parasitic ability, Frenda didn't need to prepare the liquid for him at all. At most, she only needed to give him a 'wax seal'.

Unless that girl Frenda didn't know that he had parasitic ability at all.

Therefore, the two Flanders are not the same person!

When Lin Xun came here, he immediately set off for the ancient lair.

To be on the safe side, he did not go directly to the third floor to find Flanders. Instead, he went to the resurrection point on the second floor of the lair and teleported back to the monastery where he was born.

After setting the confession room in the monastery as the resurrection point, teleport back.

In this way, even if the guess is wrong and Flanders falls out, she won't die repeatedly in the ancient lair and be guarded by this super BOSS.

After Lin Xun confirmed that everything was safe, he went to the third floor of the lair to look for Flanda...

【……】

[The elevator stops, and ‘Franda the Oath-breaker’ hangs in the hollow section of the circular platform. 】

[Many thick pipes connect its huge and deformed lower body, imprisoning it in the dark underground depths. 】

[‘Flanda’’s naked upper body looks like a girl, with her hands on her shoulders and her eyes tightly closed. 】

[It opened its eyes slowly when it felt your arrival, and its eyes were a little sleepy. It seems that you visited it frequently and disturbed its sleep...]

[Even like this, 'Flanda' is not unhappy at all, she is still happy that you came to visit her. 】

[Do you want to tell what you saw to ‘Oath-Breaking Flanda’? 】

"If I can act like this, it would be a pity not to win an Oscar."

"Eh, no, maybe it's schizophrenia or something..."

Lin Xun's mind widened and he vaguely had the answer in his mind, so he decisively pressed 'yes'.

[Tell the ‘Oath-Breaking Flanda’ in front of you in detail about your encounter with ‘Girl Flanda’ at ‘Betula Mansion’…]

【……】

['Flanda' listened quietly to what you said without any look of surprise. 】

[Its eyes are a little dazed, as if it is remembering something. It takes a long time to explain to you the reason...]

[Oathkeeper, do you still remember the false memories that the wet nurse once instilled in you? 】

[Your body will be turned into nutrients to nourish the land of the Kingdom of God, your soul will return to the embrace of the wet nurse, and your great achievements will be remembered by future generations and engraved on the immortal stone tablet. 】

[Death does not mean the end. You will be reborn under the nurture of a wet nurse and start the next cycle of life...]

[These memories are false, but they are not entirely correct. 】

[The wet nurse does have the power to start the next cycle of life, and the girl-like appearance you see was re-created by the wet nurse. 】

[After it helped a parasitic named Kim escape from the nest, it was exposed by its older brothers and sisters, and was deprived of the right to continue to control the nest by its wet nurse. 】

[Then, with the war retreating steadily, the Wet Nurse made a desperate move and finally cracked Yinghuo's life factor. 】

[Although this move made the Wet Nurse more powerful, she lost her divine body. 】

[The wet nurse is eager to fuse known life factors to create a new divine body, but how can such a powerful divine body be created so easily? 】

[A wet nurse needs a guinea pig, and she who betrays the wet nurse is the best guinea pig! 】

[This is also in line with the wet nurse's usual style. Being a test subject is both a blessing and a punishment from God. 】

[Now you can see what it looks like...it is a failed experiment. 】

[The Wet Nurse continues the experiment. She starts a new life cycle and creates the next experimental product, Flanda. According to their original civilization name, it should be called a 'clone'. 】

[The 'Flanda' you see is in the form of a human girl, and there is no trace of insect-like appearance. This shows that the wet nurse has completely integrated the life factor of the firefly. 】

[He will soon be able to create a true divine body, an unprecedentedly powerful divine body...]

[If this is the case, it is impossible for the firefly to defeat the wet nurse with a brand new divine body. The divine battle is about to end... and you and it will also perish as the firefly is devoured. 】

[After 'Flanda' finished speaking, her face was filled with tears. It seemed that she had foreseen that after the wet nurse swallowed the fireflies, she would lead her children to leave this world that was about to be destroyed and go to the next world in the endless starry sky. 】

"Fuck, so there are not just two Flandas, but many Flandas?"

"The Frenda who just showed up is the perfect test subject..."

"Where are the other test items? Were they destroyed or hidden somewhere?"

Lin Xun suddenly realized that it would be impossible for Yinghuo to stop eating so quickly.

There is no other reason, because the loyal 'Firefly Envoy' has sent a new life factor to the wet nurse.

If a wet nurse wants to create an unprecedentedly powerful divine body, she will definitely spend more time trying to find a way to integrate this new life factor.

"Is this considered a poisonous act to quench thirst, or is it unintentional?" (End of Chapter)
