Chapter 186 Lilium The Professional
After a long while, Xia Ye stood up again, but she was still embarrassed and didn't dare to look directly at Lilian. Her eyes were awkwardly locked on a nearby open space, as if a moth beast would appear there at any time.

"That... Lilian, before you blew yourself up, you said you were my pet, is that true?" She asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Sister Xia Ye, did Lilian say that?"

"Say, I've said it, I've definitely said it, although the last two words are not very clear, but judging by the shape of your mouth, you said the word 'pet'."

"But Lilian really doesn't remember."

"...You don't want to deny it, do you?"

"Lilian wouldn't do this kind of thing, probably... I exploded right after I said that sentence, so I haven't had time to upload it yet?"

"So, are you my pet?"

"Pet, pet or something, of course Lilian is not!"

"All right……"

For some reason, seeing Lilian's resolute denial, Xia Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Probably deep down in her heart, she didn't want Lilian to be an "item", even if the owner of the item was her.

She turned her head and looked at the girl: "Then... you must give me an explanation for those secrets about you?"

Lilian had an innocent expression on her face: "Sister Xia Ye, why don't we talk slowly when we get home?"

Xia Ye shook her head: "No, there is still something to do when I go home."

"Huh? Sister Xia Ye, what else is there?"

"punish."

"Punish, punish?"

"Well, you made me so ugly, I must take revenge, so when you get home, you can wait to be punished by me."

Lilian looked at Xia Ye, the look in her crimson eyes was clearly serious, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded with reddened cheeks: "Oh, I see."

"..." Xia Ye never expected that the other party would agree so easily.

"Then... Sister Xia Ye, can we go home first, and then explain while punishing?" the girl asked again.

"No, you won't be able to speak during the punishment."

"Oh."

"So, if you want to explain after you go home, you can only accept the punishment now."

"Now? This, here?"

Xia Ye nodded.

"Ugh..."

Lilian hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Sister Xia Ye, do you still remember the story I told you in the past? The story about my mother."

"Remember." Xia Ye nodded, "You said your mother was a traveling witch, and she left Debusota shortly after giving birth to you. Because she thought you had no talent, she didn't take you on a trip with her."

"Hmm..." Lilian replied, but didn't continue.

"Why, is that story a lie to me?"

"No, sister Xia Ye, it's just... Lilian omitted some content."

Xia Ye didn't answer and waited patiently for her.

After a while, the girl finally began to say:
"My mother is a traveling witch, and for her, there is nothing more important than exploring the mysteries of the witch's contract.

"Therefore, when she gave birth to me and raised me a little older, she began what she was most interested in, studying the mysteries of the witch's contract—using my body."

"Huh?" Xia Ye looked at her in surprise.

Lilian nodded and said, "I am the daughter of the traveling witch, so how can I have nothing special about it? Therefore, for my mother, I am certainly a research material that cannot be missed. However, the experiment is not as scary as I imagined. For me, it just takes two or three hours a day to do various tests, or sign and erase all kinds of weird contracts. As for the rest of the time, my mother is busy with her research or other things, and I can play as I want.

"This kind of life lasted for more than half a year, and my mother's research finally came to fruition. Based on my body, she developed a brand new contract. This is a contract that can separate and recombine consciousness, cup, and body. It is called 'Node'. And I am the first and only signer of the 'Node' contract.

"From a research point of view, Mother has achieved great success, but from a practical point of view, the 'node' contract is a failure.

"First of all, I am the only one who is adaptable to this contract. At that time, with the help of my mother in the upper city, Hua Moer found a lot of 'volunteers' to test this new contract, but in the end no one successfully signed it...

Lilian hesitated for a few seconds when she said this, and added:
"To be precise, no one successfully signed and survived."

"..." Xia Ye felt a chill for no reason.

"But even so, my mother didn't think it was unacceptable, because 'a research result is not universal, it doesn't mean it has no value'--this is her exact words. But the subsequent discovery made her completely admit her failure.

"After trying hundreds of contracts, she finally determined that the 'node' contract is very exclusive. That is to say, since I signed the 'node', it is almost impossible to sign any other contracts. Even the few that can be signed are very poor adaptability. In addition, the node contract cannot be erased, which makes me a person with almost no role.

"And my mother can't even determine the direction of improvement, because there is no test subject for comparison. She often talks to herself, saying that now even she herself can't figure out how she made this contract and how she made me sign it...

"In this way, after trying for a while, my mother finally gave up completely. She gave me some property, took all the experimental data, and left Debusota without looking back. At the beginning, I was still immersed in the sadness of being abandoned by her, but soon I discovered that the truly terrible thing was just beginning...

"One month after my mother left, I was caught by people from 'Aether Prospecting', they took me to the upper city, declared me a 'dangerous uncontained entity', and imprisoned me..."

"But, you should have more than one body, right?" Xia Ye asked.

"That's right, so they imprisoned all my bodies. Even if I transfer to another body, it doesn't make any sense."

"..."

"In the following period of time, they started various experiments on my body. But unlike my mother, they don't care about my feelings, or even my life or death - anyway, even if I break it, there will be another one, as long as I don't break it too much at once, because the 'node' contract can automatically replenish new bodies on a regular basis..."

Lilian told a very terrible thing in an unusually flat tone.

"But you are the daughter of a traveling witch after all..." Xia Ye couldn't help asking: "Don't they have any scruples?"

Lilian shook her head: "I thought so too at that time. Even at the beginning, I kept shouting 'Mother must come back to save me' or something, but Mother never showed up. Later, I finally understood that she has left forever and will never come to save me..."

She was silent for a few seconds, and then continued: "After an unknown number of experiments, 'Ether Prospecting' has really achieved two results. The first is to create a new contract based on the 'node' contract. Its effect is weaker than that of 'node', but its advantage is that it can be engraved on specially manufactured items. Based on the item, people can also obtain abilities similar to 'node'. This contract is called 'mask'."

"Masks?!" Xia Ye suddenly thought of those masked witches from 'Venture Capital Seven'.

Lilian understood what she was thinking, nodded and said: "Sister Xia Ye guessed right, those masked witches are wearing items with 'mask' contracts engraved on their faces."

"And the second achievement is that they finally let me successfully sign two other contracts, namely 'Blindsight' and 'Witch's Cry'. Sister Xia Ye has seen the abilities of these two contracts. Among them, 'Blindsight' can make people around you unable to perceive the contract maker, and 'Witch's Cry' can make the contract maker explode when he is about to die, causing huge damage..."

"But why did they ask you to sign these two..." Xia Ye stopped in the middle of speaking.

What did she think of.

Sure enough, Lilian said: "Because they finally found a use for me. The 'Node' contract allowed me to have a body that can be consumed almost infinitely. Coupled with 'Blindsight' and 'Witch's Cry', I became a very useful assassination tool. They wore a collar around my neck. After I approached the target with 'Blindsight', they activated the collar, making me enter a near-death state, triggering 'Witch's Cry', and blowing up the target..."
