Angor spent the whole morning observing.
The researchers in the Evil Demon's laboratory would more or less slack off at times, but this was normal. It was understandable for them to relax during a stressful work. As long as they could finish the work at hand, it was reasonable for them to take occasional breaks.
But Rab was different. Freud arranged for him to do observational experiments and data research, and he also had the help of Researcher Collares. Therefore, Rab's job was quite easy. But for the entire morning, he was not distracted at all. He was fully focused on his experiment.
Even though no one was watching him, Rab still kept his discipline.
It might be a bit rigid, but this kind of focus and responsibility was necessary for a researcher.
From what Angor could see, Rab was indeed qualified to inherit the power of Sin Fiend. Still, Angor decided to discuss it with Freud first before making a decision.
Freud finally logged into the dream wasteland after being away for half a day.
When he arrived at Heaven's Tower, he looked a bit tired. Angor wondered what happened, but after asking, he learned that Freud had gone to receive a group of talents.
Ever since Freud started running the Nightmares Orphanage, more and more mentors began to bring talents to the orphanage for training.
Since these tests could help them see the talents' temperament and protect them as much as possible, they were welcomed by many.
Freud had seen a lot of talents during his time at Nightmare Orphanage.
This morning, Freud met a person who made him feel tired both mentally and physically.
Freud had a good relationship with Neya, a member of the Silver Heron Royal Family. Neya also knew about Freud's Nightmare Orphanage, so she sent an old apprentice from the Silver Heron Clan to help Freud.
Freud rarely came back to reality with the help of the old apprentice. But today, something unexpected happened.
"Almost all the talents who went to Nightmare Orphanage died." Freud rubbed his temples and sighed. "Seven talents, and only one came out alive."
Angor was a bit surprised. He was the one who set up the illusion, so it should be dangerous. But it shouldn't be this bad.
"The one who participated in the trial this time is a wizard family called" Heaven ". They are an old family and have cooperated with our orphanage many times. Nothing has happened before, but this time, seven members of the family came and six of them died, which naturally made the guide very angry."
Since the old apprentice couldn't do anything about it, he had to ask Sunny to bring Freud back to reality.
"I originally thought that something had gone wrong with the process, or that Sunny couldn't hold back and started a massacre. However, after the investigation and the evidence collected from Sunny and Yada, the final result was not so."
He didn't believe that the illusion had anything to do with humans. "Did the one who's still alive kill the others?"
Freud nodded.. "You're right. It's the one who killed them all."
At first, Freud thought that the survivors had a grudge against the others, so he secretly killed them while they were still in the Nightmare Orphanage.
But later, he learned that the survivor didn't have any grudge against the others. He only killed them because he wanted to.
The seven talents were all from the same generation. Once they started their training, they would surely get a share of the resources given to them by their families. By killing them in advance, Freud would be able to enjoy all the resources for himself.
Freud understood Freud's point of view. Worse things had happened in the wizarding world before. But …
"Why did he choose to do it at the orphanage?" Freud sighed. "The orphanage is famous for having the highest survival rate. But this bastard ruined it."
What pissed Freud off the most was that the bastard even tried to kill Sunny and Alda in order to cover up the fact that he had killed Freud.
Sunny wasn't afraid of it, but Alda was still terrified by Freud's viciousness.
This was why Freud was so angry.
"Ugh … I don't think any wizard organizations will send talents here in the near future." Freud shook his head. "But it's fine. It's just a small amount of magic stones. I'll have more time to focus on the dream wasteland.
"However, speaking of the survival rate of talents, I think that if we open up the dream wasteland in the future, we can let them experience even more terrifying nightmares here."
Angor didn't comment on Freud's suggestion. He would worry about that in the future.
With that, Freud moved on to the main topic. Angor told Freud about his opinion of Rab, and Freud nodded in approval of Rab's sense of responsibility.
However, when Angor mentioned that he could give Rab the power of Evil Mist, Freud stopped him.
Freud believed that Rab was qualified in all aspects, but he still planned to set up a trap to test him.
Angor listened carefully to Freud's plan. It was nothing more than pretending to lose control of the Sin Demon and forcing Rab to make all kinds of choices, such as whether to save his friends or not, or whether to choose his own life in the face of danger.
In order to test Rab, he had to choose one out of all kinds of desperate situations.
If he passed, he would give Rab the power of Evil Mist.
Freud was looking forward to receiving Angor's praise, but Angor only said, "Tomorrow, I'll find some time to give Rab the power of Evil Mist. Remember to tell him about it."
"You're not going to test it?"
"No."
"Why?" Freud frowned. "Is there something wrong with the test?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just unnecessary."
Human nature was the most fragile thing in the world. Even if the test failed, it would probably leave a seed of resentment in Rab's mind. The resentment might not be strong at first, but it would slowly accumulate and eventually turn into real hatred.
Moreover, to reach the stage of testing one's human nature, it must be something extremely important.
As far as he was concerned, he could simply take back the power granted to him by the Tree of Authority at any time, so there was no need for him to go through all that trouble.
