Douglas considered himself very understanding of Kist, "Are you complaining to about not returning 'you' to you all this ti?"
"Yes." Kist said lazily.
"Don't worry, after completing my goal, I'll make you whole again."
Kist's fingers stopped, and the puppets downstairs also ceased their movents shortly after the music stopped.
"Then please rest assured, I will definitely complete all the... Storm Eyes before the day you need to achieve your goal."
Facing Kist's discontented complaints, Douglas just smiled and shook his head, but didn't actually urge Kist.
What consequences would arise from failing to complete the tasks he assigned—Kist, being a clever person, understood very clearly.
He no longer concerned himself with Kist, instead thinking about what would happen after today.
"Those who should leave have left. Those who want to survive are probably unable to hold back much longer."
"No rush, no rush, I'll send you a big feast right away."
...
In the underground base, Corey stood by the pool imprisoning the red worm queen, staring blankly in a daze.
She was one of the few who guessed that she wouldn't be taken away by Council Chairman Alick. Guessing was one thing, but she couldn't publicize it, otherwise high-rank wizards had plenty of ways to make sure you could never speak again.
So each successful practical experint ant getting closer to the day when those high-rank wizards would leave.
Tonight Corey felt particularly restless, so she returned to the worm queen's location.
Because ntal power couldn't be dispersed here, it actually made people feel peaceful at heart.
But after less than a few minutes of calm, Corey suddenly sensed soone approaching the warehouse. She imdiately turned around and picked up a control panel from the nearby experintal table.
Since ntal power couldn't be used here, many magical tools had been prepared for protection.
"Wizard Corey, what's wrong?"
Naturally, Corey couldn't be the only person in such an important warehouse. As soon as she moved, other wizards imdiately inquired about the situation.
"Soone seems to have entered. But there's been no ssage from above."
Upon hearing this, the others imdiately sprang into action. The worm queen was an important resource, and even though they didn't think anyone would dare offend the Stargate Council's interests, they couldn't let their guard down.
"Wizard Corey." Before long, a sowhat unfamiliar wizard opened the stairs and walked down.
The other party even had the secret key to enter underground, so they should be soone sent by the council.
It's just that Corey hadn't seen them much before.
"Wizard Corey, hello." The newcor was a quite pretty witch with brown curly hair lazily hanging down to her calves, "I'm Madeline. Master urich sent to check on the worm queen's condition."
Red worm queens preferred the aura of witches, so the wizards who went underwater to soothe the worm queen were generally witches.
People like Saul could also go underwater to approach the red worm queen, but frequent contact would make the worm queen irritable.
"Usually it's another wizard who cos."
"Hmm~ She's been quite busy lately. I have an introduction letter from Wizard urich here."
Madeline drew out a piece of paper folded four tis from her chest, flicking her finger to toss it toward Corey.
Corey raised her hand to catch the note, maintaining proper vigilance, grasping one corner of the paper and gently shaking it to unfold the entire letter.
She quickly scanned the content, focusing on the compound magical runes and miniature magical arrays at the end.
"No problems, it's Wizard urich's personal letter."
Corey handed the letter to a nearby wizard apprentice for filing, then stepped forward to welco Madeline, "Sorry, we didn't receive advance notice, so we verified it several tis."
Madeline smiled warmly, completely unbothered, "No problem, the council's interests co first. I don't mind waiting."
Corey led Madeline toward the pool water, "Do you need to go underwater for observation?"
"Yes. Don't worry, I know all the rules. I absolutely won't use ntal power for observation."
Although this was Madeline's first ti coming, she was obviously very familiar with the procedures.
She walked to the pool's edge, removed her outermost wizard robe, revealing a sowhat sexy fitted short shirt and long pants underneath.
Then she lightly leaped and dove into the murky pool water.
Corey watched from the side, not asking what Madeline wanted to observe. After all, aside from maintaining the worm queen's stability, Corey wasn't qualified to know about other important experints.
After all, she was a wizard affiliated with the Glare Family.
Underwater, Madeline opened her eyes, looking at the giant egg before her, the corners of her mouth slightly lifting, but suddenly a small syringe appeared in her hand. The syringe contained a small amount of black liquid that swayed slightly with Madeline's movents.
"Inject today, and there'll be a reaction in ten days. Hmph, by then we'll have already left the stargate, so let them deal with the crazed worm queen."
The red worm queen was neither a material body nor a ntal body, making it difficult for ordinary potions to affect it. But the Stargate Council had captured the worm queen for so many years and studied it for so long, naturally they had so thods of their own.
The potion in Madeline's hand wasn't ordinary liquid either. The liquid was just the surface carrier for transmission—inside was a trace of shocked, fearful malicious thoughts.
Just this trace of malicious thoughts, if released in a city of ordinary people, would be enough to directly drive an entire city mad, turning them into thoughtless, irrational killers.
Whether brothers and sisters, parents and children, beloved friends and family—they could all bite each other's throats without hesitation.
As long as she injected this trace of malicious thoughts into the worm queen's eggshell interior, the worm queen would gradually go mad under the influence of the malicious thoughts. It would forget its primary duty of laying eggs and only think about killing all living creatures before it.
And this was a little lesson for those who didn't respect the Stargate Council.
The syringe gradually approached the giant egg, the sharp needle piercing into the eggshell's interior. Just as Madeline was about to push the potion—
Suddenly, ti seed to freeze. Madeline felt her heartbeat suddenly stop, and the water ripples around her no longer undulated.
She looked down at her hands, wanting to think, but her brain provided no feedback.
It seed like a second had passed, or perhaps a very long ti, before Madeline finally regained her perception of ti.
"What just happened?" She was sowhat bewildered, fear of the unknown beginning to well up in her heart.
She suddenly discovered that her hand had sohow changed position. The syringe that had originally pierced the giant egg had moved with her hand to her neck area, with the needle tip already piercing her throat.
"What?"
The confused Madeline didn't have ti to feel surprised before her fingers followed their original inertia and pushed the syringe.
"Hiss—"
Madeline's eyes instantly turned red, and her expression beca ferocious.
"I've been infected by malicious thoughts! I need to quickly leave and use ntal stabilization techniques outside!"
ntal power couldn't be used in the white warehouse, which was also why urich chose to use malicious thoughts to destroy the worm queen.
But now Madeline had injected this trace of malicious thoughts into her own body. If she wanted to quickly resolve these malicious thoughts, she had to go outside the warehouse.
The plan had failed for unknown reasons.
She was very frustrated, not knowing how to face urich later. But fortunately, this potion had deliberately controlled the dosage—it would take ten days to completely affect the worm queen, but only one hour to affect Madeline.
That much ti was enough for Madeline to run outside the warehouse, and she could even make it back to the Star Observatory Tower.
However, just as she was about to swim to the surface, she suddenly felt as if a mouth had grown inside her brain.
That mouth had pitch-black teeth and a crimson tongue. The uvula at the deepest part of the oral cavity continuously trembled under the impact of air.
[I want to eat, I want to eat you! I want to eat everything before !]
As this furious thought arose, Madeline's originally bloodshot eyes instantly beca pitch-black as if ink had been dropped into them.
"I want to eat, I want to eat you! I want to eat everything before !"
Madeline used all her strength to open her mouth, the corners instantly tearing.
However, just as she was about to jump out of the pool, another scene suddenly appeared before her eyes.
It was an arched door, inside which was a constantly changing multicolored world. The world seed to contain eerie figures. But those figures were all entangled together, as if glued into a mass by so adhesive, unable to separate.
Just as Madeline was temporarily suppressing her rage due to the strange scene before her, those figures stuck together suddenly approached the arched door, extending colorful fingers to grab at the bewildered Madeline.
A few seconds later, Madeline's corpse floated to the surface.
Corey, who had been standing by the pool observing underwater with her naked eyes, imdiately changed expression.
"Soone co! Wizard Madeline... is dead. Quickly notify the council!"
