Chapter 72 72 : Get Your Dirty Hands Off Him...! Part 1



What's even more bizarre is that even the ragged clothes that were originally worn by Number 86 had also been "repaired" along with her. They had transformed into a combination of nurse and maid outfits, black and white, with both a skirt and the emblem and cap of an emergency nurse.

Before Eileen could observe more, she felt a sudden piercing pain from deep within her brain. Quickly, a slight dizziness accompanied it, forcing Eileen to stop in her tracks and press her temple.

"What's wrong, Miss Eileen?" Tamic asked nervously at the sudden change.Continue reading on N0 VêLbIn

"It's... It's Old Timer... It's Renji... He's in a terrible condition... Through the contract... Damn it! Why didn't he just told me directly! He just f***ing likes to act tough alone!!"

This discomfort came quickly and left just as fast, obviously on the other end of the contract, Renji was deliberately stopping her from discovering his condition.

Realizing this now, Eileen's voice rang out in anger, and she couldn't wait any longer. She had to move immediately and break into the church!

[Can you give me your hand, Miss Eileen, I can locate master through you] No. 86 urged.

A sensor rose from the palm of the mechanical maid's hand, and when Eileen placed her hand on it, she immediately felt a weak electric current pass through her entire body, before finally returning to the maid.

[Data transfer successful. Master's location confirmed. Hacking into the Blackhole Plains area network 19% 57% 99% Hacking complete. Retrieving Blackhole Plains area map. Retrieving church map. Retrieving underground structure map]

[Calculating... Completed. Optimal action route confirmed]

After the cold mechanical voice finished, No. 86 extended her hand toward Eileen.

[Inferior substance structure - Light Wing Expansion Type III]

Eileen wasn't sure if the scene before her eyes could still be described as "technology," but with the assistance of Miasma, centered around No. 86, all micro-materials nearby were rapidly drawn in. Within a few breaths, they transformed into a pair of "Light Wings", which then floated behind the maid and with a click, they were successfully installed and connected.

Next, before Eileen and Tamic could react, the mechanical maid lifted them both up, her wings fully extended behind her. With maximum power, in the blink of an eye, the maid shot up into the sky and left Sea Sand Bar. After reaching the high altitude above Blackhole Plain, she aimed for a specific marked coordinate below and plunged straight down.

In less than a few breaths, the surroundings had completely changed for Eileen and Tamicka. They realized that this place was not the church but several blocks away from it.

[Master is right below us] No. 86 hastily explained, likely to prevent any misunderstanding.

Clearly, the underground library of the church was just an entrance. Judging from the current situation, if they had really entered from that entrance, they would have had to travel a long distance to reach Renji's location.

However, a new question arose. The coordinates were closer now, but Renji was underground while they were on the surface. How were they supposed to reach him?

Eileen and Tamic overthought it.

Number 86 had already considered this issue when calculating.

Following the maid's gaze, Eileen also looked at a nearby well.

"Could it be..."

"After you helped me realize the truth, I indeed didn't want to 'awaken' them prematurely. But rest assured, Thia, from now on, I will treat them the same way I treat you."

"The same way as me?"

"That's right. I told you from the beginning, didn't I? I want to bring back the Thia I know. And if they also become strangers to me, so be it. I'll go door-to-door to correct them."

Renji paused for a moment and emphasized with a wicked grin, "And then, I'll punish them severely."

This seemed to enrage the nun.

The black dress that enveloped Suthia like flames burned even more fiercely. Bloodlust dominated her eyes, and her previously smug smile twisted into a distorted expression.

The desire to receive punishment from Her Lord, the mere thought of it drove Suthia into a frenzy, her lower abdomen filled with burning desire.

But when she considered that her Lord would also distribute this "punishment" to the others, allowing the other four to enjoy her lord's "punishment," the desire in her lower abdomen turned into a blazing rage within her chest.

"Why can't you forget about them? Why do you have to go find them? Why can't you just look at Thia alone?" Suthia screamed in rage.

"Because you are all my wings, and I can't afford to lose a single one."

"Then let Thia see what My Lord has now to use to correct Thia!"

After the nun's scream, several more Tainted Corpse joined in the attack on Renji, increasing the pressure on the young man.

However, even in the midst of this, Renji continued to provoke the nun with his words in the intervals between attacks.

"Thia, did you know that before I met you, I used another ability once? It was an ability from 'Zero.' So I believe she'll come to rescue me soon. Zero will definitely come to save me~"

Renji's words were filled with trust in Zero, in stark contrast to his current resistance to the nun, and the flames of jealousy burned away Suthia's sanity.

Immediately, she commanded the surrounding Corpse to stop and summoned the familiar miasma red mist once again. This time, what she showed Renji was the impact of Zero's appearance in the Sea Sand Bar, just as it had happened not long ago.

This finally gave Renji a brief respite and made him realize that Suthia was right 'to some extent'. The other four, at least "Zero," did indeed seem to be filled with what you could call "malicious intent."

In the imagery of the miasma red mist, Renji saw the familiar image of a mecha girl. As expected, she had sensed his presence through her ability and projected herself into his surroundings. Then, she transformed his virtual sculpture into a giant cyborg, with his entire body covered in cybernetic enhancements, leaving only his head as a human.

Seeing this, Renji couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He could accept external armored exoskeletons, but full-body cybernetic alterations? No thanks, he didn't want to become a cyber psychopath.

"See, My Lord, this is Zero, the ungrateful maid. I told you before, don't trust those cold-hearted machines. But don't worry."

The red mist imagery shifted to the scene of Zero summoning her Emergency Medical Team to fight Suthia. It was clear that due to the home-field advantage, the battle was heavily one-sided, with the nun achieving a crushing victory.

"Suthia has already punished the disloyal maid for you. Zero won't bother you anymore! She and her machines have turned into a pile of 'scrap'."
