Chapter 925: 289. Big Shot Squatting Point
About ten minutes later.
“Noland, I’ve settled Nicolette. She’s asleep in the bedroom on the fourth floor. I’m staying with her.”
The voice of Denise Green reached Noland Lee’s mind through “Mind Induction”.
Noland Lee nodded silently in response:
“Good, if there is any abnormality, let me know in time.”
“Mhmm~”
...
The two cut off “Mind Induction”.
Noland Lee walked around the damaged culture tank several times, using his gaze and the Deconstruction Technique to observe every nook and cranny, hoping to find evidence of the Assassin Angel’s presence.
By now, Nolin had commanded the Mechanos to collect the scattered glass fragments, wooden splinters, and Culture Fluid, and placed them in a container specified by Noland Lee.
Noland Lee cast Deconstruction on the pile of disordered debris.
There was no trace left by “Illusion Killing – Desperate Strike”, no energy fluctuations besides Death Energy.
Just now, the incident was as if Noland Lee had for no reason fired “Death Two Finger” at the culture tank.
But “Death Two Finger” itself could not transform a soul entity into a body of flesh and blood.
So, something must have happened to Nicolette before or after Noland Lee fired “Death Two Finger”. noveldrama
The less trace there was of the Assassin Angel, the more vigilant Noland Lee became.
Assassin Angel Gabriel was best at concealing itself.
It deliberately left a small part of its will and essence on Nicolette, without erasing her mind.
What was it trying to do?
Noland Lee’s eyebrows furrowed as he stared blankly at the rubbish in front of him.
He dared not keep such a ruthless character that could threaten him close by before he figured out the Assassin Angel’s intentions.
Even if it were living inside Nicolette’s body.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Noland Lee decided in his heart:
If it turned out that Nicolette and the will and essence of the Assassin Angel were inseparably linked, then he would decisively send her elsewhere.
Noland Lee would not feel guilty, nor would he think he had wronged Nicolette.
Because in his agreement with her, it only included helping her escape Union City and the Blood Sun Seal.
Now, Noland Lee had brought her to Suman Archipelago, provided the Soul Energy needed for Soul Weaving, the culture tank, and Culture Fluid.
Nicolette had successfully escaped her previous cage and had a body of her own.
Noland Lee had fulfilled his promise.
Furthermore, a character like her, accompanied by an Assassin Angel, could already stand on her own.
The Assassin Angel was like her “grandfather”, “System”.
In many ways, sending her to another region was not throwing her into the “tiger’s mouth”, but setting her free.
After mulling it over carefully in his heart for a long time, Noland Lee came back to his senses and said:
“Nolin, continue with the research work, but remember to rest.”
“Okay, Sir.” Nolin pushed up her glasses:
“Do I need to prepare a new culture tank?”
Noland Lee waved his hand:
“No need. However, you’ll still need to look after the Warcraft Material on the storage shelf, we might use them later.”
“Yes, Sir. Then I’ll head downstairs first.” Nolin paused in her stride, turned around and said:
“Oh, Sir, there is one more thing I need to report. I’ve made a very simple Energy Neutralization Pulse Wave Projector. You can come and check it out when you have time.”
“Oh, you’ve got a prototype already.” Noland Lee smiled:
“You’ve worked hard, Nolin. I’ll come to see you later.”
“Alright, Sir.” Nolin activated the Flight Spell on her Magic Robe, transforming into a black satin ribbon and flying toward Underground Floor 2.
Noland Lee sensed Denise’s exact location and flew toward the passage in the ceiling.
Upon reaching the fourth floor above ground, Noland Lee knocked on the room where Nicolette was.
“Has Nicolette awakened?” Noland Lee asked, coming to the bedside.
“Not yet.” Denise Green shook her head slightly.
She sat beside the bed, gently touching Nicolette’s forehead:
“Her body temperature is low, her pupils are unresponsive, her breathing is normal, her soul and psyche are undamaged, but no matter how much I call her, she won’t wake up. My detection spell hasn’t detected the cause. Can you see what’s wrong with her, Noland?”
Noland Lee narrowed his eyes slightly and cast Deconstruction.
After inspecting the status bar on Nicolette’s panel, something stirred in Noland Lee’s heart, and he patted Denise’s shoulder, saying:
“Don’t worry. The presence within her is preventing her from waking up, probably waiting to talk to me about something.”
“The presence within her?”
Denise blinked confusedly, instinctively stood up, and moved behind Noland Lee.
“Yes, it’s precisely her mysterious inner presence that helped Nicolette complete the step of weaving a body.”
Noland Lee positioned Denise behind him and said:
“Don’t worry, its presence should have no malice, otherwise there wouldn’t be a single soul alive on this island, myself included.”
“Mhmm…” Denise gripped the hem of Noland Lee’s clothing with her small hand, casting several spells to bless them both with healing.
Noland Lee faced Nicolette on the bed and cast “Mind Induction”, speaking in his mind:
“Your Excellency the Assassin Angel, can we talk now?”
Nicolette opened her eyes slowly, floated up from the bed.
Her cream-colored nightgown fluttered like the wind as she suspended herself above the bed with an ethereal poise.
Her eyes brimmed with light purple radiance.
A misty purple fumes poured out from her eyes like a waterfall, quickly enveloping the bedroom where the three were, blocking the beautiful view and the light from outside.
