A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 268: Chapter 215: Unexpected Di

l worried about Ogis. After all, it was rare for the puppet girl to say she had a problem. Duanmu Huai had no mood to heal. After a brief rest, he took Bambi and Melfy back to the Eternal City.

The city had already been struck by a meteor, forming a large hole. After contacting Ogis, Duanmu Huai quickly arrived at the abandoned city.

However……

“What the hell is this!?”

As the three of them followed the streets of the Eternal City and arrived at the Dark Night Sacred Region in the center, the first thing Duanmu Huai saw was a temple in the distance – and a gigantic skeleton sitting atop it.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai, Bambi, and Melfy were all taken aback. As Duanmu Huai got a headache, he thought if there was another BOSS battle, he would have to fight for real!

After all, his body was not made of steel, three BOSS battles in one day, it was crazy!

However, fortunately, once the three of them got closer, they discovered that the giant sitting above the temple was already just a skeleton. It couldn’t move, which eased Duanmu Huai’s mind. He rushed in without pondering about who the dead person sitting atop d at Duanmu Huai. She then took off her lace dress.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned.

What was under the dress was not Ogis’ ordinary, smooth body, which seemed to be carved out of wood, but a body identical to a human girl’s!

Even the tiniest details were the same!

“No, this… What’s going on???”

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was dumbstruck. He couldn’t figure out why his puppet girl had suddenly transformed into a human.

But this body is really…

“Uh, you should put your clothes back on first.”

“Yes, Master.”

Ogis put her dress back on. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai took a breath, thankful for his helmet hiding his expression.

“So, what happened exactly? I need you to tell me everything.”

“Very well, Master. This is what happened…”

Ogis recounted what she had been through. After hearing Ogis’ story, Duanmu Huai frowned.

According to Ogis, she encountered something strange that could mimic her and take on her exact appearance. But when Ogis defeated it, the strange thing suddenly pounced on Ogis and fused with her. This meant that Ogis’ body was still that of a puppet, but she was covered in a shell of strange liquid.

Not only that, but afterward, Ogis started feeling some sensations she’d never experienced before.

She wasn’t sure if her body was damaged, so Ogis decided to sit still to avoid any accidents.

Accepting the small knife Duanmu Huai handed over, Lani nodded satisfyingly.

“I didn’t expect it wouldn’t be Blazer, but you who found it first… Thank you. Now that all conditions are met.”

As she spoke, Lani handed a sandglass-like object to Duanmu Huai.

“This is our agreed trade. You just need to take it to Kalya Library, and you’ll get what you want. And I will start on the path I chose.”

“Thank you.”

Duanmu Huai extended his hand to take the hourglass, then turned to look at Lani.

“I’m sorry, but I actually have one more thing to bother you with.”

“What is it? Hopefully, it won’t be too much trouble.”

“I just need some guidance.”

As he was speaking, Duanmu Huai lifted his cloak and placed Ogis before Lani.

“She was once a puppet, but within the Eternity City that you mentioned, she encountered a creature that imitates and transforms into itself. After defeating it, this creature seems to have merged with her, and now she looks more like … a human?”

blems?”

“It’s an interesting issue.”

Upon saying these words, Lani smiled slightly.

“Imitation Teardrops have no soul, so they are constantly seeking one. This girl, while not having a human body, perhaps the Imitation Teardrop sensed her subconscious desire to become human, leading it to merge with her. Isn’t it he perfect match – a soulless shell and a puppet with nothing but a soul?”

“So, it won’t have any impact on Ogis?”@@novelbin@@

“The self-consciousness of the Imitation Teardrop has been destroyed, it only acts instinctively according to the consciousness of the owner and won’t cause any harm. Of course, being able to feel pain like a human can be a weakness.”

As she stated this, Lani closed her eyes.

“What a pity. If I didn’t already have very important matters to settle, this would make for a very good research topic.”

“Then, how about we make another deal?”

Duanmu Huai glanced at Ogis next to him, then looked back at Lani.

“If you agree, I can help you complete the task you have at hand. In exchange, I hope you can help me resolve Ogis’s issue.”

“Master?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Ogis looked at him in surprise. However, Duanmu Huai just waved his hand at Ogis. Although he didn’t have any problems with Ogis turning into a human, the current situation was certainly odd. Duanmu Huai didn’t know anything about the Borderland, but Lani was different. As a witch, she was well-informed about everything here and although his time spent with Lani was short, Duanmu Huai believed that to a certain extent, she was trustworthy.

In response to Duanmu Huai’s proposal, Lani merely smiled faintly.

“You foolish man, you have no idea what I intend to do. Can you really help?”

fter a long silence, she seemed to have made up her mind, lifted her head to look at Duanmu Huai.

“It’s dangerous.”

“That’s why it’s worth the deal.”

” …….”

Hearing this, Lani closed her eyes, thought it over for a while, then nodded.

“Alright then, if that’s the case… I’ll tell you about my real plan.”
