Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 108 - 106- Next day.

On the bed, Zosia closed her eyes as she did some mental calculations.

After the girl left, Lucien directed the rest of the guys back to their room.

Starting from how long they trekked to this place from where they landed, she categorized it as four hours, then her defect till when it ended was another four hours and now, it is time for them to sleep which is another 8 hours, totaling 16 hours.

So what happened to the remaining 16 hours? How would they make up for it.

Suddenly, she started hearing the ticking sound of a clock. Zosia didn't sit up immediately but turned to look at where Mina and Tanya who were lying down.

She noticed that they were so fast asleep. Zosia felt that they may be pretending like her and was about to stand up and check, when she heard a click.

She paused for a moment and the click stopped. Suddenly it started again and this time around, it was followed by a whirring sound. Zosia started feeling a piercing pain in her head then she heard a sleeping lullaby.

She was slowly lured to sleep, but deep down, she was fighting against the effect that suppressed her consciousness.

But, before she completely lost, she gave Chip an instruction to keep recording.

===============

"Have all of them slept." The aged voice asked. Her eyes closed with prayer beads in her hand as she made her prayers to a statue upon the altar in the room.

The room was dimly lit with the incense flowery scent that wafted and produced a kind of smoky effect. At the edge of the room is an altar.

It had some figurines on the altar but they were more exquisite and polished.

"Yes grandma." The blind girl answered.

"Your Brother, what is he doing?" Sister Marionette asked.

"He is cleaning the scene to make everything look normal. We weren't expecting people." The blind girl answered with her head lowered.

"Luckily, they came, we would sacrifice them to the Lord to cure you and your brother. Your future will be bright.

Tell me, whose eyes do you want?" Sister Marionette turned to look at her daughter as she asked.

Yes, it's her daughter but to the outside world, it's her grand daughter. In order to save her, her daughter had regressed while she had gotten older.

As for the Son, it's actually her daughter's son and the old man outside is her daughter's husband.

She had long gotten used to referring to them as her daughter and son, to her, it made no difference.

"Give me more time to find out, I don't want to be hasty."

"I understand. You can go. Let me continue Praying." Sister Marionette said and turned back to continue her prayer.

"Lord," she whispered, her voice filled with both devotion and fear, "accept these sacrifices and grant my children sight and health. May their lives be restored through the purity of these offerings."

The blind girl bowed and turned to leave. Her steps didn't seem like someone who is blind, but it could be, because she is used to the terrain. She navigated the old mansion's creaky corridors with practiced ease, her thoughts swirling.

Whose eyes should she choose? She hadn't been able to observe their new guests very well and to her, the ladies where in a sense, weaker than the guys.

She had only three days for them to prepare for the ritual, she needs to collect some of their belongings without them knowing but at the same time, with their consent.

She paused in her steps when she suddenly remembered that she hadn't actually seen them with much bag.

"Could they have left their things in the carriage?" She thought inwardly.

Smiling she shook her head and walked back to her room. Her smile eerie as she navigated the dark passageways.

Zosia struggled against the heavy blanket of sleep that was rapidly enveloping her. The lullaby's melody was hauntingly beautiful yet laden with a sinister undertone.

In the midst of her internal battle, Chip, continued its work, discreetly recording the surroundings and the sounds emanating from the room.

As Zosia's consciousness dimmed, she faintly perceived the figures moving in the room. The indistinct outlines of figurines but on a bigger scale.

She wanted to spread out her spiritual consciousness but found out that it couldn't even exit her body.

She was clamped still and unable to move. Her vision was slowly covered by fog. She tried sending her consciousness to her space but her space still locked her out.

She decided not to struggle anymore and slept off.

In the shadows, an eerie white and red eyes were watching her struggle.

The Next Day...

Mina woke up, seeing that the two girls were still sleeping in, she frowned.

She looked at herself, there had been nothing strange, except that her defect had acted up, putting her into sleep.

Only, if she knew it wasn't her defect.

She turned to look at Tanya and slowly stood up from the bed. Stretching out, "The sleep wasn't actually that bad, also nothing happened." She thought inwardly.

She found it strange that nothing happened, but first, they still had a Job to do.

Today is the second day, so they had to be quick on their feet in finding clues.

Standing up, she walked towards Tanya. After patting her for a while to wake up, she heard Tanya mutter, "So tired. I want to sleep more."

"Is it your defect?"

"Yeah, Extreme Fatigue." Tanya grumbled as she tried to turn her body. She noticed that her body didn't even want to move, even feeling heavy.

Zosia slowly woke up. Her eyelashes fluttered for a while before opening. Zosia struggled to open her eyelids. Frowning, she noticed that the fog covering her eyes, slowly dissipated.

She raised her upper body up and leaned against the head board. She slowly ran her powers through their circuits, feeling better, she turned to Mina and Tanya.

"Tanya is currently going through her defect, so you stay and watch over her." Mina said and stood up.

Walking towards the mirror, she arranged her hair and then left, not sparring Zosia another glance.

The room fell silent again as Mina's footsteps faded down the hall. Zosia sat still, trying to piece together the events of the previous night. Something about the whole situation felt off. Her intuition was rarely wrong, and she knew she needed to be cautious.

She glanced over at Tanya, whose breathing had deepened, indicating she had fallen back asleep. Zosia decided it was time to investigate further. Carefully, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. She moved slowly, her muscles still sluggish from the effects of whatever had happened the night before.

While she was still stretching, the door opened, as the guys entered but this time around, Lucien wasn't with them.

"Good morning!" Zosia greeted.

"Good morning!" They greeted in response apart from Percival who directly asked the question he came for.

"Did the Boss come here?"

"No."

"Okay, we are each spreading out to look for clues and first we are going to start outside while you girls do the inside. Don't be too open with it." Percival said coldly.

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. Currently, Tanya is going through her own defect and needs to be watched.

"What is her defect?" Xen asked.

"Extreme Fatigue. Fortunately, we are yet to begin anything, else she would have become a burden." Zosia commented calmly.

Xen looked at Tanya with a hint of concern. "Is there anything we can do to help her?"

"Not really," Zosia replied. "She just needs rest. Her condition usually passes in a few hours."

Percival nodded, his face impassive. "Alright. We'll handle the outside. Keep your comms on and call if you notice anything unusual."

The guys left the room, and Zosia turned her attention back to Tanya, who had begun to stir.

"Tanya, can you hear me?"

Tanya's eyes fluttered open, and she groaned softly. "Yeah, I'm awake. Barely."

"Just rest," Zosia said gently. "We need you at full strength." Tanya nodded weakly and closed her eyes again.

Zosia sighed and decided to make the most of the quiet moment. She needed to clear her mind and focus. She took out a small notebook and began jotting down her thoughts and observations from the previous night.

The ticking clock, the strange lullaby, the pain in her head—it all pointed to some kind of manipulation, something designed to incapacitate them. But why? And for how long?

Also, was she the only one affected. Mina didn't mention it and neither did Tinya, or did they just kept it to themselves?

She had no answers for that. Pulling up the recordings of yesterday, she started watching it, noting down everything.

Even the temperatures. Especially the night temperature that fucking reduced to -100° C. Shocked, she couldn't help but touch her suit and Marvel. For it to still be working without any damage, shows how awesome it is, Or, maybe it's just her limited knowledge and experience on things better than this.

Scribbling on the note, she didn't know when four hours passed and Tanya was slowly recovering.

Tanya opened her eyes. Scanning her surroundings, she noticed Zosia calmly sitting on the chair, engrossed in doing whatever got her attention.

Gently standing up from the bed, she stretched her body. "Hey, Zosia let's go!" She called out.

Heading for the door while yawning, her stomach rumbled. She kinda felt hungry, no she was hungry.

"Hey, Zosia!" She called out again.

Seeing that she was being ignored, she frowned and paused in her steps, turning towards Zosia with anger on her face.

She walked up to Zosia, about to peer down to see what exactly got her attention, so much, that she was being ignored.

Knock!

Knock!!

The knock brought Zosia back to reality. Tanya turned to stare at the door and so did Zosia who finally noticed Tanya behind her.

A little startled, she coughed and asked, "What are you doing behind me?"

"I have been calling you for a while now, what exactly are you reading?" Tanya asked as she gazed at Zosia with slight curiosity.

"None of your business." Zosia answered airly and stood up from her seat, putting the notebook into her inventory.

Tanya scoffed, losing interest in whatever Zosia was hiding. She turned towards the door and opened it.

It wasn't someone they were expecting to see but nevertheless.
