Arnie had never experienced such a thing before. It was as if someone had ripped off all of her clothes and allowed her to stand naked in front of the other party.
This feeling … made her feel … cheap!!
Sex workers had to sell their bodies for a living. They did it for themselves. But what about her? She was just a tool to revive her family.
As her thoughts struggled, a blue light flashed on Arnie's forehead.
"I can see that you're confused, poor child …" Lu Sheng quietly put away the pocket watch in his sleeve.
That blue light did not seem to be Arnie's own ability, the Light of Hell, but something that worked on her.
He was not sure what would happen if he rashly used psychological guidance on someone he did not know.
That was why it was best not to act rashly.
"I …" Arnie hugged her head, her expression pained. She squatted down, tears slipping down her cheeks unwittingly.
"I just … don't want to disappoint my mother … don't want …"
"What a filial child." Lu Sheng reached out and gently stroked her hair. "But have you ever thought about whether your mother really wanted you to sell yourself like this, to the point where you really gave your body and everything you had to the family?"
"I …" Arnie was speechless.
"That's why, let yourself go … don't bind your heart. Failure isn't scary, what's scary is being utterly defeated," Lu Sheng replied with a smile.
"Think about it." He retracted his hand and slowly walked past Arnie.
She was an interesting little fellow. The secrets she hid, as well as her own conflict and pain, allowed Lu Sheng to see the pure soul of this little girl.
She had always been lost and indecisive.
Lu Sheng walked all the way to the dormitory when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.
Turning around, he saw Arnie hurrying up to him.
"Jack, do you have time? I want to buy you a drink. "The girl's face was haggard and her eyes were red and swollen, making her look like she was struggling even more.
"I know you've been looking for high-level Void Aberrations for private experiments. If you sit with me, I can promise to give you one of my family's precious specimens," Arnie said softly and seriously.
This caused Lu Sheng, who was about to refuse, to swallow the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
He couldn't help but smile when he saw the determination hidden under her delicate face.
"Of course."
…
…
Pub 39.
This was an unusually chic bar located outside the university.
The interior was a complete imitation of the primitive forest. The wooden stools, wooden chairs, and wooden tables were all carved with natural tree rings. There was only one owner and two waiters in the entire tavern.
Business wasn't that great. The drinks were average, the service was average, and the location was remote. There was nothing special about it.
However, Alni liked the quietness and the lack of people here.
She brought Lu Sheng in and sat down in a corner. She asked the waiter to bring a screen over to block the surroundings, forming a small independent space.
"To be frank, the Delaunay Society can't hold on much longer," Arni said to Lu Sheng with a hint of sadness as soon as she sat down.
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Sheng retorted. Whether or not the Delan Society could hold on had nothing to do with him.
"But you're right. Up until now, I haven't even lived a day for myself." Arni's expression was sorrowful.
"So?"
"So, I want you to help me. I don't intend to maintain the Delaunay Society anymore. I just want to form a small group, an elite group with only a few people. I'll bear all the expenses of this small organization alone. Don't worry, the Sephalos family won't have a problem with that. "Arni continued.
"I know you're constantly searching for high-level Void Aberrations, but you should also know that your level and laboratory wouldn't let you come into contact with monsters of too high a level."
Lu Sheng could not help but nod at that.
Indeed, the highest level he had eaten was a Void Aberration equivalent to a Fifth Form. However, such flesh was already of little use to him now.
The reason he was stuck at the edge of evolving to the Sixth Form was because he lacked the Void Factor from the flesh of higher-level Void Aberrations.
"And if you want to come into contact with higher-level Void Aberrations, you'll have to work hard in the school for decades or even centuries until you reach the rank of a professor or even a dean." Arni opened up the topic and spoke frankly.
"But I'm different. The Sephalos family's history is even longer than Misca University's. My family is one of the oldest families in Europe. Our family's treasures and secrets are definitely beyond your imagination. Not to mention ordinary high-level Void Aberrations, we even have the flesh of an Evil God's Child. "
"Oh?!" Lu Sheng's eyes lit up.
Evil God's Child!
According to the standard classification, he was now in the Fifth Form, followed by the Sixth Form, Seventh Form, Ultimate Perfect Form, and finally the Evil God's Child.
In other words, this was a powerful existence that surpassed him by four levels!
If he could obtain such flesh, he might not lack Void Factor in the future.
"So? Do you want to help me? "Arni said seriously.
After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Lu Sheng's face.
"So, what do you want me to help you with? You also know that I'm just an ordinary person. The ability of Harmonious Wind is completely negligible compared to Taboo Types like you. "
Arni was silent for a moment.
"Actually, my experience is different from what you think." She was a little down as she slowly told her story.
It turned out that she had a huge secret when she was younger. This secret attracted a large number of Evil Cultists to commit suicide attacks on her. At that time, she was weak, timid, and terrified.
It was her other family members who stood in front of her time and time again, shielding her from the wind and rain.
After a while, she was kidnapped by bad people. Fortunately, her family members risked their lives to save her.
After a while, she was poisoned and her life was hanging by a thread. Her family members had no choice but to desperately search for the antidote.
After a while, she was shot by a crossbow and was heavily injured. She almost died. Her family went through many difficulties and found the antidote to save her.
Again and again, she was kidnapped, assassinated, injured, poisoned, and faced all kinds of desperate situations.
It was her family members who brought her through all kinds of difficulties again and again.
As time passed, the family suffered heavy losses because of her time and time again. Finally, they could not hold on any longer and began to decline.
Her previous family members also died or went missing due to the repeated disasters. As a result, Arni was the only pure-blooded member left in the family. The heavy responsibility of the family leader naturally fell on her.
"So?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"Now that I can temporarily control the secret on me, the attacks are getting fewer and fewer. The family's pentagram and my five family members who are protecting me are also resting in seclusion. They have fought so much for me. I don't want to burden them any more. I want to build my own power. I want to protect myself! I don't want to drag others down! I don't want to!! "
Arni's emotions were slightly stirred up.
"So, I came here. I want to protect myself. I want to build my own power. I want to learn all the knowledge that can make me stronger. "She slowly calmed her emotions.
"Then what can I help you with?" Lu Sheng naturally would not refuse a benefit that was delivered to his doorstep, and one that he desperately needed.
"You are a genius researcher. Even in a place like Misca that is filled with monsters, you are one of the top geniuses. I hope you can help me analyze how to fight against the Evil God's power!" Arni said seriously.
"Evil God's power?"
"Yes. The power of Gula we cultivate is actually only the power to resist the corruption of the void. But against the power of the void, against the power of the Evil God, it is still weak. Even the power of our sixth cognitive organ originates from the division of the Evil God's power, "Arni explained.
"But the power of Gula, organ power, and Evil God's power are on different levels. No matter how much Gula power or organ power there is, they are no match for the Evil God's power. The two are not on the same level. It's just like how no amount of water can drown a fish. "
"Really?" Lu Sheng said in surprise.
"Yes, we've done countless experiments." Arni nodded. "That's the power of a god, a power that mortals cannot resist. Even my family's pentagram is only able to protect me from harm with the help of another divine power. But I am not satisfied! I want to find out that divine power is not invincible! "
"Good determination." Lu Sheng nodded in agreement. The current Arni was the type he admired.
"My family's treasure vault has thousands of advanced void monsters with five forms and above. It will definitely satisfy your needs for experiments. I will also pay you twenty thousand marks a week. Everything else that can be provided will be provided. What do you think? Are you willing to join me? "
Arni looked at Lu Sheng sincerely. This was the first time she recruited someone with such an attitude.
Lu Sheng was also well aware that Arni's enemies might very well be the Evil Gods themselves. Her family relied on other gods to protect her, but they paid a heavy price.
That was why she wanted to strengthen her family and redeem everything.
But to fight against gods with human power was a pipe dream. That was why she found this place, the rumored Misca University that stabilized everything.
She wanted to find a trump card to fight against the power of gods here.
"Interesting …" Lu Sheng licked his lips. "Fighting against gods with the power of mortals? That's quite the courage. If that's the case, count me in. "
He admitted that he was tempted. The Syfarus family actually had so many fifth-form and above void monster specimens. This was an unimaginable temptation for him now.
There was even the flesh of Evil God children. No matter how long he worked in the lab, he would never come into contact with something of this level unless he became a core member of the school's upper echelons.
"I won't disappoint you." Arni extended her hand.
Lu Sheng did the same.
Their hands, one large and one small, firmly clasped together.
"Me too."
