Lilith said to Zheng Yichen, "Boss, you can consider that woman’s constitution to be a mix of human and ghost. The non-human, abnormal part has completely rged with her body. This is different from the Yin-Yang imbalance you initially had, boss. She was born this way, and it’s very difficult to change it later on."
"Oh? So there is a way?"
"The best option is to change her through the way of Dusk. With the power from the side of Dusk, it’s very easy to change all of this."
"Dusk, huh? Indeed, that’s a good place. Overall, we can’t solve it on our side, right?"
Lilith nodded, "That’s right, based on my calculations, even if you, boss, gave her the Essence of Life, she could only temporarily return to normal. Her own Life Force has already beco a deteriorated state. The Essence of Life can provide her a large amount of normal Life Force, but that part will eventually get contaminated."
"That’s really quite pitiful. What I just thought about was that I am sowhat in a state similar to a T-rex becoming sentient, while Alice is directly like an Evil Spirit becoming sentient."
"Your description is quite aggressive, boss, but this explanation can also make sense. She was influenced by the power of Evil Spirits while still in her mother’s womb, granting her an extrely abnormal Life Force."
Saying that Alice is a mix between a human and an Evil Spirit isn’t incorrect, although this situation was caused by external compulsory factors."
"How about these two things?" Zheng Yichen took out two black wooden spheres.
Lilith imdiately responded, "I detected faint Evil Spirit signals inside these. These things are suspected to be made by an Evil Spirit or a ntal Aberration creature."
"Another product from the underworld, huh?" Zheng Yichen was ready to stuff the objects into the motorbike’s weapon case, but rembering Lilith’s situation, he asked, "You don’t mind, right?"
"The weapon case is ant for storing weapons. In this regard, you don’t need to seek my opinion, boss." Lilith, who was sitting on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, swung her little legs and said, "According to my analysis, I can strengthen them, but the power inside might get out of control quickly after being taken out again."
"That’s not a problem." Zheng Yichen placed the two black wooden spheres into the weapon case, "We’re about to go do a big job soon."
Find that Spirit Worshipping organization, then wipe them out, plan?
Life doesn’t always need that many plans. If you have overwhelming power, just bulldoze straight through, especially when it is a surprise attack against the unprepared. They would never expect a tough guy to show up at this ti to make trouble.
In Alice’s ho, this woman who resembled a zombie bride couldn’t wait to use the Essence of Life. Even though Zheng Yichen said there’s a possibility of deformity from overuse, she didn’t care much about that.
Deformity?
A ntal Aberration creature causes deformities, an Evil Spirit also causes deformities, but those problems didn’t affect her much. She could directly go to places that were difficult for ordinary people and exorcists, and she even thrived in those special environnts.
She could go to environnts that Evil Spirits struggled to access, all of this made her very special. However, Alice always disliked this uniqueness; if it ca with a normal appearance, she would gladly enjoy the convenience it provided.
A small amount of the Essence of Life was ground by her into even finer powder, which she added to a concoction that she carefully chose after much consideration.
Alice then went to her bedroom, stood in front of a mirror covered with a cloth, and with slightly trembling arms, drank the light red potion in one go. She grasped the cloth over the mirror, hesitant.
But soon, when she saw her hand turning whiter and her skin gradually becoming smoother, she widened her eyes and imdiately tore off the cloth, seeing the thing she had long dread of.
"This... this is too wonderful, and yet it ca too late." As a child, she dread of taking a normal photo with her mother. As for her father... He was also an exorcist, who died during that battle that affected her in the womb.
Alice touched her now smooth skin, her hair still gray, with the lower eyelids still carrying a smoky makeup-like pale black, but this no longer affected her normal appearance. She could walk on the streets of the city without anyone treating her like an animated corpse.
A monster.
It didn’t take long for Alice to notice several gray-black spots erging on the back of her hand. She furrowed her brow and sighed lightly, "It seems the potion still needs improvent."
The potion gave her additional Life Force, neutralizing so of her problems, but this neutralization could only be maintained for a short ti. Using more Essence of Life could extend that ti.
Not necessary. The amount of Essence of Life she accidentally obtained was limited; she couldn’t waste it frivolously. She wanted a complete solution to her problems, not just a temporary experience.
No, it was precisely because she had a taste of returning to normal that she yearned for a complete recovery even more.
After packing her belongings, Alice took a cloak from the wardrobe to put on and took out an ID from the drawer.
Although she was treated as a monster due to her appearance, her identity was legitimate, a descendant of an exorcist who had made significant contributions to the human race. It was difficult for her to live in the city, but it wasn’t that hard for her to go into the city if she wanted to.
However, she could only go during the day and had to leave the city before nightfall.
This made her even less willing to beco an exorcist. Even if inheriting her parents’ occupation could improve the situation, so things had already caused her harm and impact, and she had completely forsaken the idea of improving this situation.
All she wanted was to first return to normal, then rely on her knowledge to live a good life. Being an exorcist had nothing to do with her anymore. On the contrary, she could live a good life because of her knowledge as an exorcist.
She wanted to re-experience everything she never had, but definitely not in the capacity of an exorcist.
After getting her things together, she quickly left her ho. It was a long way from there to the city; she wanted to check out the Dusk Cathedral that Zheng Yichen had ntioned.
