Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Dealing with the Devil_1

Looking at the Pillow Pet on the exhibition stage, Song Lan’s vision went dark.

Every once in a while, the company could reliably conjure up another horrifying act in front of him. Watching Qi He proudly explain to the audience how terrifying and ferocious the Pillow Pet would become once it reached adulthood, Song Lan felt deeply embarrassed for him.

Embarrassed enough that he wanted to curl his toes in, rush back to the hotel, bury his head under the covers, and forget everything.

Buddy, the Pillow Pet is just a pillow. It’s not hostile towards humans at all; it can even help you sleep peacefully—at the moment, every single member of the junkyard’s staff has one, and it has become their essential sleep aid.

If it weren’t for the fact that Song Lan had something to hold every night when he slept, he’d be tempted to ask Ge Fu for a Pillow Pet too.

However, Qi He failed to realize just how embarrassing his actions were. Facing the crowd, he spoke like an orator about the origins of this creature from the Void and the Ragus Foundation’s future vision. Once the exhibition was over, they would transport the Pillow Pet to the top biopharmaceutical company under the Ragus Foundation, and assemble a leading team of biologists to cultivate it into a formidable ally for the United Government in the Void.

Snap out of it!

What do you plan to do with a Pillow Pet?

"How do I know this is real? It doesn’t look like the offspring of some ferocious creature."

Isabella maintained her haughty expression, but her tone couldn’t help but weaken a notch.

She realized that the neutral parties were very interested in the Ragus Foundation’s discovery, and this chubby worm was indeed some kind of lifeform that had never been detected before.

The Ragus Foundation’s exploration plans for the Void were exhilarating, even one of the few pieces of good news they had heard recently, and that put the Conservative Faction in an even worse position.

The Foster Family’s reputation was already in tatters, and with the incident at Starfish Technology, those neutrals who were still observing were gradually leaning towards the Innovator Faction.

As the future heiress of the Iris Consortium, she should have said something more, but aside from those from the Conservative Faction, everyone else had lost interest in her, some even casting disdainful looks her way.

"Hmph, let’s go!"

Seeing the tide turn against her, Isabella didn’t want to stay any longer to listen to the Ragus Foundation’s victory speech. She summoned the students who had accompanied her to the exhibition and, wearing her sleek thigh-high boots, shaking her golden ponytail, she left the hall.

For the students at Morning Star Academy, this was not good news.

Miss Isabella was very angry, which meant she might vent her anger on anyone who displeased her, and they were helpless against it—a direct daughter of a great consortium and the top scholar of class 115. Had her personality not been so overbearing, countless boys would have dreamed of her as their belle.

However, thinking about Isabella’s behavior since she entered the school, even the most lecherous boys lost their yearning for her, leaving only deep-rooted fear.

Today’s unlucky one was a girl reading in the library.

The other people in the library hurriedly left after seeing the angered Isabella, including the librarian who picked up a cup and pretended to fetch water to escape.

The girl, however, was so engrossed in her reading that when she realized something was amiss, her escape had been cut off by Isabella’s entourage.

The girl trembled, "S-sorry, I didn’t notice you had come."

"I’m tired of walking."

Isabella picked up a book, glanced indifferently at her boots, and said, "They are a little dirty too. Come over here and lick them clean for me."

...

Half an hour later, Isabella’s mood had improved significantly.

She looked at her boots with satisfaction. With the assistance of this nameless girl, they were as good as new.

"How nice."

She closed the book, "Common people find it as convenient as ever."

Having said that, the group laughed contemptuously and strutted away.

The girl kneeling on the ground covered her bleeding nose with her hand, her face still plastered with a smile, until Isabella and her entourage had gone far, until she confirmed that their figures had disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Only then did her smile vanish, and the pain throughout her body surged up at that moment. She struggled several times before she managed to stand up from the ground.

She dusted herself off and carefully checked whether any blood had splattered onto the books in the library.

Many of the books here had been preserved since before the war and were very precious.

After ensuring the books were intact, the girl finally let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time, a flash of anger passed through her eyes, but it was swiftly suppressed.

For the students of Morning Star, this sort of thing was all too common.

It was rather the culture that Lu Xiang had led during his time at the school that was a fleeting phenomenon, after all, most of those qualified to attend this academy were the children of big corporations or great families, and forming cliques was the norm.

But today seemed different.

The girl had intended to put what happened today out of her mind as she usually did, but the seed of anger in her heart could not be quenched. It grew and spread quickly, and she could no longer calm down to read the text on the pages. She could only let it bloom and bear the fruits of hatred and loathing.

Everything she saw started to change.

The library’s lights were still on, yet everything around her was enveloped in shadows of unknown origin.

Unprecedented panic enveloped her. The book she was looking at spurted ink, and the paper was swiftly dyed black as something began to emerge from it.

Then, the black ink condensed into a palm that grabbed the girl’s arm.

"Ah—!"

The girl instinctively wanted to run, but was held in place by an invisible force.

"Don’t be afraid."

A woman’s voice came from the shadows and the ink, tinged with an otherworldly charm that gradually calmed the girl’s panic, "I saw what you just went through. Haven’t you ever thought of resisting?"

"Resist? But she is the future heiress of the Iris Consortium. Resisting her will only lead to worse..."

"I can help you."

"You?"

"I can grant you the power to resist."

The figure enveloped by shadows gradually appeared before the girl, human in shape yet indistinct in features, "I heard the call of your heart, and that is why I have come."

That face, devoid of features, seemed to be gazing at her, penetrating her innermost thoughts.

The girl thought back over all the knowledge imparted by her teachers, but none of it could describe what she was experiencing.

"Stop your wild thoughts."

The shadow once again read the girl’s thoughts, "Your teachers can neither comprehend my existence nor solve your problem, but I can."

"Who, who are you?"

"Your friend, and also a merchant."
