I have a Synthesizer

Almost everyone went upstairs, leaving only Perona behind. Strangely, everyone seemed to naturally ignore her, even Klein.

In their eyes, Perona was as if she didn't exist.

Perona's situation was somewhat special. It wasn't that she didn't want to follow Klein, but she simply didn't understand what they were talking about. From the moment she came downstairs, she had entered a strange, dazed state.

Sometimes, she couldn't even hear the surrounding sounds clearly, and her mind was filled with wild thoughts.

She thought about how that green-haired woman wasn't much older than her, yet her strength was so formidable that she even surpassed Captain Becky.

Looking at herself, she was just a nobody. Apart from her looks and the size of her chest, she had almost no redeeming qualities, making her feel like a complete waste of space.

After seeing the outside world on this trip, Perona understood that background, talent, and looks didn't matter.

The truly important thing was her own strength, and the gap between her and the green-haired woman was despairingly large.

She regretted it because whether in the academy or in the society, everyone praised her talent, saying she had rare life and metal dual talents.

Only now did she realize that dual talents were useless. In a head-on battle, she would probably be killed by the green-haired woman with a single strike.

If she had been more diligent during meditation, she might have already become a formal professional, instead of being so weak.

"Ah! I'm too weak. I really want to become stronger!"

Just as she was feeling sorry for herself, a voice appeared in her heart.

[Do you want to become stronger? I can help you!]

Perona was suddenly startled and came back to her senses. Who was speaking? She looked around. Hmm! Where were the others?

"Could it be that I didn't sleep well yesterday?"

Just when she thought it was just a hallucination, the voice in her heart appeared again.

[Don't you think you're weak? I can make you stronger!]

Perona didn't know if she was under some kind of magic or evil spell, so she quietly asked in her heart.

"Who are you?"

[I am the Candle Demon Heart - Trisis, you can also call me Candlewick… ]

"Candlewick? The wick of a candle?"

Seeing that Candlewick didn't respond for a long time, Perona quickly continued.

"Lord Candlewick, what should I do?"

[In the fireplace, there is a burning rope. Find it and grab it.]

Perona slowly walked to the fireplace, looking at the fire in front of her, feeling hesitant.

"Just grab it directly? Won't it burn my hand?"

[…No, just take it.] Candlewick: I'm not angry.

"Oh, you wouldn't be lying to me, would you!"

[…Of course not.] Candlewick: I'm really not angry.

Who knew that after struggling for a while, Perona continued.

"Are you trying to tempt me? I feel like you're an evil demon or spirit!"

Trisis seemed a little angry. How could there be such a stupid fellow? Can't you feel the magic power in your body constantly increasing?

What kind of host did I find? He forcibly suppressed his anger and said slowly and softly.

[Evil gods wouldn't tempt someone as weak as you. If I were an evil spirit, you would have died long ago.]

"Okay, so even evil gods look down on me."

Perona sadly reached into the bonfire and started rummaging.

…

Upstairs, Nimiz looked at Jessica in front of Becky and immediately rushed over.

"Jessica? What's wrong with her?"

Several members of the Red and White Society also stepped forward and asked. Becky looked at the corpse at her feet and said indifferently.

"She's dead, what else could it be?"

Nimiz looked at the huge wound on Jessica's chest. Only the greatsword in Becky's hand could cause such a wound.

He looked at Becky, both angry and fearful. At this time, the six Jay members could easily kill them all.

So even though he was very angry, he didn't dare to express it directly and could only forcibly suppress his anger and ask.

Looking at the faces of the Red and White Society members, Becky felt a little irritated. If she took these guys back to complete the mission, she didn't know how they would smear them.

So, although it was difficult to explain, Becky still had to explain. She focused her gaze on Grover, who was standing not far away.

"This Jessica is fake, just like that Grover. They were created by this house, people who have been resurrected from the dead."

As soon as Becky finished speaking, someone immediately retorted.

"Why should we still believe you?"

Klein had already slowly drawn out Fallen Blossom. If words couldn't solve the problem, then he could only use force.

Klein blew on the blade of his sword.

"Anyway, the Red and White Society just wants them to return alive. It doesn't say they can't be injured. The Red and White Society's pharmacy and medical treatment are very advanced.

Even if their hands and feet are broken, they should be able to heal them. It's not a big problem, right, Eric!"

Klein began to say things that made the members of the Red and White Society's scalps tingle in a serious manner, and Eric nodded in agreement.

"Don't mention breaking hands and feet, as long as there's enough money, they can be turned into human sticks and still live."

Don't look at the two of them singing in harmony, like a comedy duo. Becky knew from their eyes that they were serious.

At this moment, Crook of the Red and White Society stood up.

"You've already killed someone, why should we listen to you? We in the Red and White Society clearly paid, but you killed our members. Are the people of Jay Society all crazy?"

As soon as Crook spoke, Nimiz secretly thought it was bad. These guys were stupid usually, but they were actually so stupid at this time.

The people of Jay Society abide by the rules, but only within the scope of the mission. These guys wouldn't really think that the people of Jay Society are all good men and women, would they?

When Crook finished speaking, Nimiz had already felt the killing intent on Becky's body. Before he could say anything to persuade her, Becky had already made her move.

She suddenly grabbed Crook's arm and gently twisted it. "Crack!" The broken bone immediately pierced through his skin, and the pale broken bone protruded from his forearm.

Before Crook's scream could sound, Becky kicked his knee, shattering it on the spot.

"Ah! ~"

Looking at Crook lying on the ground screaming, the members of the Red and White Society felt a little chilled. She was too strong, and they had no room to resist.

After so many years of Execution Department life, Becky's style of doing things was no longer as naive as it was during the first Fire Blade Cult mission.

"The content of our mission is to bring you back alive. The focus is on alive, not protecting you. As long as you don't die, that's fine.

As for why? Just because I'm stronger than you, is that enough?"

Lilith, who was on the side, raised her eyebrows with interest as she watched Becky take decisive action.

"I didn't expect that this guy Becky has made some progress."

After Becky broke Crook's hands and feet, the members of the Red and White Society seemed to realize something they had just overlooked.

The people standing next to Grover began to slowly move away, until Grover stood there alone.

He first had the same frightened expression as the members of the Red and White Society, but when he saw that everyone was beginning to alienate him, his expression returned to normal, and he said in a very unfamiliar accent.

"These people from the Red and White Society really have no feelings. They are also timid and don't dare to save their own comrades. What a bunch of trash."

"Grover, what are you talking about?"

The people of the Red and White Society were a little surprised, but those with brains had already guessed something, such as Nimiz. He suddenly looked at Becky.

"Captain Becky, is what you said true?"

Becky ignored Nimiz and continued to stare at Grover.

"Your Excellency is doing this just to delay for such a short time. Have you achieved your purpose?"

Grover shook his head, revealing an expression that seemed not very satisfied.

"I guess so."

"Then congratulations, Mr. Villa."

After finishing the conversation with Becky, Grover turned his gaze to Klein.

"Mr. Klein, I originally liked you more, but you are too ruthless. I'm afraid I won't be able to live if I fall into your hands, so I changed one."

Klein didn't like hearing this.

"Come, come, come, sit down with me and tell me, where am I ruthless?"

"A guy who doesn't even let go of the murals, isn't that ruthless enough?"

Grover shut Klein up with one sentence. Eric on the side was immediately shocked. He looked at Klein with a suspicious look.

"Klein, if you have troubles and problems, tell me. Palomia has plenty of girls. You can't even let go of the murals like this. Look, people can't stand it anymore."

"Get lost!"

Klein was too lazy to pay attention to Eric. He stared at Grover and tentatively said.

"Trisis?"

When Klein called out this name, everything in the villa suddenly froze. It seemed that only he and Klein could move.

Needless to say, Klein also knew that this should be Trisis's unique world, with the candlestick as well.

"If I tell you now that I have chosen Perona as my host, would you kill her?"

After saying that, the two of them returned to normal from their frozen state.

At that moment, Klein felt the magic in the surrounding oddity furniture flowing away after Grover finished speaking.

Moreover, the direction of this magic loss was all in one direction, downstairs? Perona?

Just as Klein was puzzled, Grover had already looked at the others.

"This body is about to die. Instead of investigating me, you should think about how to deal with the bone-eating beasts outside with this group of Red and White Society trash."

As he spoke, Grover's body began to collapse, just as Perona had seen before, with large amounts of flesh being torn from his body.

The moment Grover died, the villa began to shake violently.

Lilith was the first to rush downstairs, followed closely by Shadow Three and Joe.

"It's collapsing, let's go."

Becky and the others also began to lead the Red and White Society members towards the outside, but Klein stopped.

The real value in this room was not those oddities, but a part of Trissis.

Klein recalled the situation when he talked to Grover just now, closed his eyes, quickly filtered all the details in his mind, and immediately rushed to the first floor.

......

While everyone went to the second floor, Perona, who had obtained the rope, entered a very strange spiritual space.

The rope made from the Heart of the Candle Demon was wrapped around her, but she was a little at a loss.

"Lord Candlewick, what should I do next?"

Candlewick was originally the heart incarnation of Trissis, the place of freedom and desire, the Soul Magic Item Heart of the Candle Demon, but it was also a magic item that had produced its own will, and its autonomous consciousness was very strong.

Although it was also a part of Trissis, Candlewick had no intention of merging and being reborn.

He was him, he was Trissis, but he was also Candlewick, and what he had to do was to find a suitable host to take him away from this ghostly place.

Would he still exist after the fusion and rebirth?

Candlewick knew without thinking that it would definitely be the fusion of five consciousnesses, the real Trissis resurrected, and he would no longer have any independence.

Only those other fools would do a fusion without autonomous consciousness, he didn't want to do it.

In the beginning, the host he chose was Perona.

To this end, he had already prepared to let Perona see the dead body and witness his power.

But later, Klein and the others arrived, and everything changed.

After seeing Klein, Candlewick realized that Klein's brilliance completely eclipsed Perona's brilliance.

He was a person who had mastered arcane power, the most perfect host.

However, Candlewick did not act rashly.

The cautious him chose to observe Klein first, but Klein's subsequent actions were completely beyond his expectations.

This guy was too ruthless.

Klein had already discovered the existence of oddity life, but his choice was to slaughter and collect.

From this point, Candlewick could see Klein's temperament.

He had never regarded them as life, but as oddities, ordinary objects.

Candlewick was no different from a living oddity.

He also knew that if he fell directly into Klein's hands, let alone autonomy, being able to retain his will would be considered Klein's generosity.

In fact, Candlewick's guess was correct.

Klein had already made the candlestick almost die, and his choice of Perona was considered an escape.

If it was more miserable, Klein would directly erase his will and make him a simple magic item again, that would be miserable.

Therefore, Candlewick changed his approach.

He chose Perona, a girl whose danger was almost zero.

If Klein could not suppress his own desires and killed Perona, then he, Candlewick, could naturally rely on the power of desire to deal with Klein.

At that time, it was not certain who would win.

If Klein didn't kill Perona, then he wouldn't suffer either.

At least he could still preserve his main will on Perona.

For Candlewick, preserving autonomous will was more important than everything.

Even if Klein was the perfect host, he was unwilling to sacrifice himself.

However, Candlewick looked at Perona in front of him and felt a sense of powerlessness.

This guy was too stupid.

Her talent was clearly very good, but her execution and brain seemed to be very stupid.

It felt like the direction of development was completely wrong.

Candlewick was a little helpless.

He had to teach such a host by hand, without any opinion, too tired.

"Prepare to sacrifice your talent."

"Sacrifice talent? It sounds scary.

I won't just die like this, right?"

Looking at Perona's innocent little eyes, Candlewick felt very confused.

【I'm too difficult.】

He was just the heart of Trissis, and he felt that he should not bear the pressure that a complete human should bear.

"You won't die, this is a process of evolving your abilities, get ready to start!"

Perona looked at Candlewick's perfunctory expression and felt a little aggrieved.

Lord Candlewick didn't seem to want to pay attention to me.

She slowly stretched out her hands, and two light spheres, one gray and one green, appeared in her hands.

Candlewick nodded.

"Let's start!"

......

When Klein came to the first floor, Perona was standing there blankly, her eyes very hollow, and Klein couldn't guess what had happened to her.

【I have chosen Perona as my host, would you kill Perona?】

Trissis's words echoed in Klein's mind, what did this guy mean?

Did he want him to kill Perona?

He slowly walked over, and just as he grabbed Perona's arm, Klein immediately felt several extremely strong desires rising from his heart.

This time, it was not just lust, but inexplicable anger, hatred, killing, greed, all of which came from his heart, filling Klein's mind.

If it was the previous Klein, he would most likely be tricked, but just last night, he had just had a relationship with Lilith.

Lust had already been released, and anger and hatred mainly appeared on Asmond, and he also had a detailed plan to restrain them.

Only killing and greed began to grow wildly in his heart.

Looking at the weak Perona in front of him, Klein wanted to twist her neck and then take away the Candle Demon component on her body.

When Klein was a little hesitant, Perona suddenly turned around and looked at him.

But just one look, Klein knew that she was not Perona herself, the one in front of him should be Trissis.

"Why are you hesitating?

You have already obtained a part of my body, and if you get me again, you will gain even more powerful power.

If you want to get it, then do it!"

A seductive voice came from Perona's mouth, and Klein looked at Perona, the tip of the bone blade had already emerged from his palm, and he could strike at any time.

Candlewick was a little excited.

He felt the strong power of desire on Klein's body.

If Klein really killed Perona and took possession of the Heart of the Candle Demon, then he would gain the power to dominate the other party's killing and greed.

At this moment, a piece of wood fell from the collapsing roof, hitting Klein's head.

Although it didn't hurt, the dust that fell still blinded one of Klein's eyes.

After blinking a few times, Klein's mind became a little clearer.

He simply closed his eyes and calmed down for a while.

When he opened his eyes again, Klein had regained his confidence and clarity.

"If you want me to get you so much, why use such a roundabout method?

Just a magic item, you think too highly of yourself, Trissis.

Moreover, even if I can't get it, it doesn't mean I can't use it!

My abilities are beyond your imagination."

Klein was no longer the Klein he used to be.

The power of the synthesizer was truly above everything else, not only with functions such as synthesis and strengthening, but also extension and things in bottles.

If the other party's power was really strong, he could just wait for the 300-day main will CD and then grab Perona and synthesize a little person in a bottle.

He had a way to deal with it slowly.

Candlewick was slightly surprised.

Abilities beyond his imagination?

Bragging!

At the moment of Candlewick's distraction, Klein pressed his palm on Perona's neck, and the power of darkness slowly seeped into Perona's skin.

The pain brought by the power of darkness stimulated Perona's senses, and when Perona's expression was a little struggling, Klein suddenly shouted.

"Perona? Wake up!"

Perona suddenly woke up, and Trissis's will disappeared with it.

"Senior Klein?"

Looking around at the collapsing villa, she was a little surprised again.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the confused Perona, Klein showed a charming smile and said gently.

"The house is collapsing, let's go."
