Chapter 511 Psychic Piercer!
INSIDE THE INSTITUTE
"So... Alex’s plan has succeeded. Now, everything in this world is under our control. Good for him." Professor Frances, whose body was covered with sweat and gri, said as she glared at her three companions.
The professor seed to only have a neutral reaction regarding Alex’s success, although annoyance could be seen on her face, especially when she stared at her companions. "Hmph, you’re lucky that the spearwoman used her black ooze to save the day. Because if she didn’t, then all of us will be f**ked!"
"Professor Frances, you don’t have to lay it that thick. We are really close to disaster earlier. It was only through the original’s machinations that we were able to survive. But this kind of thing can only be attributed to Fate...." White Alex said in face of Professor Frances’ glare. "As such, there’s no need for you to be this involved. Whether you like it or not, things that are destined to happen will still happen..."
"Destined my ass! My soul transfer procedure almost failed because of that Emperor Litch! Are you saying that’s destined? Because if it is, then what’s the use of my efforts?" Professor Frances snarled in reply, with the venom in her voice enough to scare Kid Alex. "Hmph, all that Fate talk of yours is making sick, White Alex! Why don’t you just shut up and let do my work?"
"..."
"Sheesh, I had to redo the soul transfer procedure because of Emperor LItch’s interference. Now, I only have 40% chance of succeeding! Do you know how low is that White Alex?"
"I am not well-versed in the matters of dicine, so I cannot answer that."
"Hmph, you better not. I am the expert here, so your opinion is of no use!"
"...."
After giving out these scathing insults, Professor Frances let out a huff as she crouched down to the floor. Her face then went back to its focused mode, with her malicious aura replaced by a professional one.
"..."
The talk that she just had with White Alex seed to have stopped Professor Frances from what she was doing earlier.
It was only when she ended the conversation that she was able to return to her task.
"..."
Right now, the unconscious body of Wisteria was still placed right in front of Professor Frances. The forr’s eyes were closed with her breathing and heartbeat at the minimum, indicating that Wisteria will still take long before she wakes up.
"..."
A small wound the size of pea could be seen on Wisteria’s forehead, with small drops of blood leaking out of it. This leakage turned Wisteria’s head into a bloody ss, making her face look much more grueso compared to before.
"..."
Professor Frances was silent as she stared at this wound, with her fingers occasionally dabbing or poking her forehead.
Professor Frances was also touching the coffin as she did this, an action that did not escape White Alex’s observation.
"Wisteria’s Mind Eye was already opened earlier because of my operation. With her Mind Eye open, performing the Soul Transfer Procedure on her should have been easy." The professor said coldly, with the frost in her voice enough to make those who heard her feel chilly. "But because of Emperor Litch, Wisteria’s Mind Eye was forcefully closed! Tsk, if we want to open her Mind Eye again, performing an operation on her will not be enough anymore."
"..." White Alex, Kid Alex, and Officer Erald, the three people that are accompanying the professor right now, did not say anything as she talked, as they knew that interrupting her will just make her blow up.
They can only stay silent as the professor droned on with her words, which fortunately for them only lasted for a short ti.
"Oi Officer Erald. You said that you’re with the Cosmic Guards, right? Perhaps you have an item there that can simulate a Soul Attack. Anything will do, as long as it will not kill Wisteria." Professor Frances said as she gave a leery glance at Officer Erald. "Even if you just ca here by yourself, surely you have sothing useful there..."
Instead of giving an answer to the professor’s question, the reply that Officer Erald gave was quite different.
"Professor Frances, I don’t like the tone of your words. Are you perhaps insinuating that I am useless here? Is that what you are telling ?" The female Cosmic Guard said, with the venom in her voice all-too apparent to those who heard it.
"I am not saying that you are useless, Officer Erald. I was just asking for your help. Surely, you won’t be like your comrades, who just left this place because they are useless..." Professor Frances did not reduce the mockery in her voice as she replied, making White Alex and even Kid Alex wince.
"Professor Frances, I think what you said is over the line. The Cosmic Guards at the sky were almost annihilated by Emperor Litch, so for them to retreat is acceptable." Officer Erald looked calm as she said these words, although her clenched fists show that she was anything but calm right now.
She then continued to talk before the professor could add more of her insults.
"If I were you, I will not call them useless. At least they were able to force Emperor Litch to use so of his power." Officer Erald said, with her frown suddenly replaced by a wide sneer. "But how about you, Professor Frances? You’re just hunkering in this basent since earlier, with none of your actions able to help Alex! Isn’t that just the definition of ’useless’?"
"You impertinent-"
"There, there, there, m’ladies. Weren’t we talking about the Soul Transfer Procedure? I think we should focus on that first." Before these two hot-headed won could blow up the place, White Alex quickly stepped in, using his tricky words to cool down the two.
"Officer Erald, I know that you dote on Alex as your younger brother, hence I can understand your willingness to help here. But if you want his plan to succeed, please tolerate Professor Frances. The professor is not good in socializing, so forgive her harsh words to you."
"As for you, Professor Frances, I recomnd that you do not make Officer Erald here angry. Even if the original Alex is not interested on seeing Officer Erald, I am sure that he will be angered once he learns about your insults on her."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"There, so you two can also stay silent! If you just did that earlier, then things will be much smoother. But the past is already the past, so let’ move on for the future!" White Alex said while clapping his hands. "I hope this ti that there will be no hiccups in this operation. Because if there is, the original Alex will be compromised..."
"..."
"..."
White Alex’s innocent face as he said these ’scary words’ made him look an alien-like character, soone that seed to be enough to silence the two bickering won.
Even Kid Alex was also unsettled by the sudden change on White Alex, with the forr now hiding behind Officer Erald.
"Tsk, I have a Psychic Piercer here. It delivers enough Psyche Force to pierce the ntal foundations of any power user." After a few more seconds of silence, it was Officer Erald who resud the conversation, with her hands rummaging her right leg pocket as she talked. "It’s highly effective on Psychics, Espers, and Spiritualists, so be careful on using it."
"Oh, so you do have one. T-thank you for that." Even if she almost grimaced at the ntion of ’thank you’, Professor Frances managed to finish her sentence. "Now go back to your spot and let do my job."
"Tsk, so that’s just what you want from ? You could have asked for it more nicely, you know." Officer Erald muttered vindictively as she threw a gun-like object to Professor Frances. "There’s your Psychic Piercer. Be careful on using that. It may look like a gun, but it fires invisible psychic waves. Don’t press it while pointing its end on yourself..."
"Hmph, you don’t need to tell that to . Even I know sothing as simple as that."
"Oh really? Hmph, then let’s see how you can-"
"Ladies, didn’t I just say that you should keep calm? Where’s that agreent now?"
"....Hmph, I will be watching your move, Professor Frances. Even if you are allied with Alex, I can still see that you are committing multiple violations with your ’soul dabbling’..." Under the stern gaze from Whte Alex, the bristled Officer Erald has no choice but to retreat. "I already have a bottom line in regards to your violations, so I still have not arrested you. But if you get over my bottom line, I will take you back with , whether Alex likes it or not."
"Heh, that’s a nice threat from you, Officer Erald. I will take that in mind." Professor Frances replied smoothly. She seed to have made sure that her words were clean, sothing that made the nearby White Alex nod his head. "So I just point this end to soone’s head and press the trigger? Is that how I do it?"
"Yes, it’s just like that. I already set the level of that Psychic Piercer to stun, so don’t worry about killing Wisteria. Just make sure that you are pointing it on her head if you want to give her the damage that you want to-"
"Bang!!
Wisteria’s body jolted as the professor fired the Psychic Piercer on her head without any warning. The wound on Wisteria’s forehead widened after this, a change that made Professor Frances smile.
"Hey, Professor Frances, why did you not let finish talking! You almost gave a heart attack!"
"Hohoho, I like this weapon, Officer Erald. Perhaps you can lend it to as a loan? I would like to make more experints with it..." Professor Frances said as she juggled the weapon on her hands. "On the contrary, I would like to buy this gun now. How much for this one?"
"I am not selling that gun, Professor Frances. It’s issued by the Cosmic Guards, so it’s their property. Selling it without their permission is considered a treason..."
"Ah, that’s disappointing Officer Erald. Well, I can just try to replicate the effect of this gun using my monsters. They have souls, so maybe I can use their souls as ammunition for a make-shift Psychic Piercer, hehehe, that would be really nice..."
"Hey, if you do that, I will arrest you on the spot! Using live beings as ammunition is banned and will land you death punishnt if you’re caught!"
"Tsk, I already lived in this world for too long, little Officer. I have done experints that can make even the strongest man feel squeamish. Do you think I am scared by your threat?"
"You!"
"Why are you back to quarreling again, ladies? You’re wasting ti with your petty argunts there." For the third ti this day, White Alex was forced to stop the two won from quarreling. "For your information, Alex is about to summon the Legacy Weapon. If we still have not completed this Soul Transfer Procedure by this ti, he could be in mortal danger..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Tsk, are you doing nothing now, Officer Erald? If yes, then go and grab those tubes and place their ends on Wisteria’s orifices. Make sure all of her holes are covered, ok?"
"All her holes, Professor Frances? Does that include her asshol-"
"Yes it does, Officer Erald! There’s no need for you to say it out loud!"
"Tsk, why are you shouting at again, Professor Frances? Do you really have a problem with ? Just say it straight to my face!"
"Hmph, why don’t you listen to White Alex and start doing what I told you to do, Officer Erald? Go on and bring the tubes to ! I’ve already wasted five seconds talking here!"
"You little-"
"Ladies, please keep calm."
