I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

Just as she saw the curve of W's lips widening, Gretchen spoke calmly.

"If I knew..."

"I'll tell you."

"Haha~ Little guy, you think it's boring, but I think it is. And your current state... let me think, it's called color, right? Whose color are you using right now?"

Upon hearing Gretchen's words, W not only didn't restrain herself, but instead laughed out loud and asked in return.

After these few days of investigation, W has been able to deduce some of Gretchen's characteristics. After all, she already knew a lot of scattered information and details long ago.

If she still can't figure it out under these circumstances, then she'd really be considered rather foolish...

"Well……"

Gretchen's large violet eyes flashed slightly at W's sudden question, but she didn't seem surprised.

She never hid anything from the beginning, including her characteristics regarding color and painting, and there was no need to.

Others might be afraid of having their traits revealed so they can find their weaknesses, but Greta isn't afraid at all, after all, she has other identities.

It can only be said that "Gresh" is just a "weak" support character who is protected by others; her true strength depends on her other identities.

"What, I guessed right? Let me guess whose color you used. Cold face, cold voice... looks like Frostnova."

Looking at Gretchen like this, W smiled and narrowed his eyes, then said, word by word.

"Well, because I didn't want to be tainted by your colors. So, I started to be tainted by Frostnova's colors beforehand. Are you going to ask me anything or not? If not, I'm leaving..."

As she spoke, a hint of coldness and impatience flashed in Gretchen's eyes, and she turned her head again to look at the annoying W beside her.

To be honest, the little girl sometimes really admires Ines and the others' good temper; they haven't strangled someone after all this time together...

"Tsk, do you hate my color that much?" Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in W's eyes, and then he asked with a smile.

Then, before Gretchen could even reply...

W then bent down and grasped the little girl's delicate, snow-white chin with his right hand, which was gloved with a fingerless glove, guiding her to look into his golden eyes, which were now filled with pleasure and madness.

Although W knew that important matters should take priority, for some reason, after hearing what Gretsch said, a sense of resentment arose in her heart, and she wanted to do the opposite of what the little girl said.

"..."

Meanwhile, the two people who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines exchanged a glance, their expressions both somewhat complicated.

Ines couldn't even help but cover her delicate face...

Although both she and Hedley were Sarkaz mercenaries, they had done many cruel and ruthless things.

But... they really didn't do anything as shameless as W, bullying children.

"?-?!"

Gretsch was startled when she saw the face suddenly so close to hers, and those golden eyes filled with madness... She instinctively leaned back.

However, after quickly realizing what was happening, she reached out and grabbed W's snow-white wrist, removing the person's hand from her face.

From then on, several red finger marks appeared on the little girl's snow-white chin, because of someone...

This sudden intimate contact caused the color of Yelena on Gretchen's body to waver, showing signs of fading.

"Do not touch me……"

Gretchen, who had grabbed and pressed down on W's wrist, frowned slightly as she spoke.

"The little guy is quite strong~ But how long can you last?" W said with a smile, completely unconcerned about the slight dull pain in his wrist.

"...?"

Seeing that W still treated her like a "toy," Greyshaw was starting to get angry. Well, since that's the case, she might as well not be so lenient...

Although the little girl has always had a good temper and has restrained herself, that doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper at all...

After calming herself down a bit, Gretchen tossed her wrist away with a hint of disdain and said, "What did you see in that painting...?"

At this point, the little girl didn't wait for W to answer her question, but continued, "Although I don't know exactly what you saw, I can guess that it was people who have passed away."

As the words were completely finished, the last trace of color on Gretchen's body quietly faded away.

However, the little girl didn't care. She simply turned her head calmly to look at W, staring at her cold smile.

"Oh? How can you be so sure? I remember one of the little ones told me yesterday that she didn't know." As she said this, W still had a smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes at all.

"I really don't know... but I can feel the sadness in you, Dabuliu. Some things, even if you wear a mask, still can't be hidden..."

Gretchen, in her youthful and clear voice, recounted her discovery word by word without reservation.

The little girl originally wanted to give W some face, but she found that as soon as she faced this guy, her blood pressure started to drop and her sanity was depleted.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two people sitting beside him, watching W's increasingly wide smile, frowned slightly. They were about to say something to stop the situation from escalating further.

However, before the two of them could speak, Gretchen said first, "It seems I was right."

The little girl certainly didn't want anyone interrupting her conversation with W. Since everyone was there this time...

Having made the start, she would naturally seize this opportunity to properly "teach someone a lesson."

It wouldn't completely ruin their relationship, but Gretsch still hoped that W would be more restrained when he saw her...

P.S.: Please vote! This was really difficult to write... I guess my writing skills aren't very good.

Chapter 104 The Wicked Woman Gretsch

"Pfft..."

"You couldn't hold back any longer? But I must say Gretchen was being too tactful."

Gretchen looked up slightly at the fake smile on W's face, a hint of mockery appearing in her violet eyes, and she couldn't help but chuckle softly...

At this moment, Gretchen, driven by anger, chose to voluntarily adopt the color "Ye Li," fully returning to her true nature after a long absence.

No matter how good or powerful other people's colors are, in her own eyes, her own color is still the most suitable... She usually doesn't care, so she lets the memories of her identity invade her, affect her personality, and even make herself look harmless.

However, this does not mean that Gretchen cannot use special methods to temporarily remove this influence and return to her original personality, such as getting tainted with color like she is now.

As for why he suddenly did this?

The reason is very simple: in Gretchen's view, her personality, influenced by "Gretchen," is just too good and too non-aggressive.

Now that she's chosen to properly suppress W's arrogance this time, it's naturally inconvenient for her to continue using that cute "softie" personality.

"?"

Hearing Gretchen's words, whose personality had suddenly changed drastically, W frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Gretchen's words, combined with his own intuition, made W feel that the little girl's change this time was not just a simple matter of being dyed...

Not only her, but the other two sitting next to her also noticed Gretchen's unusual behavior and were secretly analyzing what had happened.

"Are you surprised? Heh~ Since W likes to bully Gretsch so much, he must really enjoy playing with kids. Well then, I'll reluctantly keep you company."

At this point, Greta curled her lips into a smile that looked innocent and adorable as she looked at W.

However, that smile... instantly sent chills down the spines of the three people present, making them instinctively reach for their weapons.

However, no one dared to make any rash moves for the time being, after all, Gretsch's previous glorious combat power was still there.

"!"

Sensing the warning coming from his nerves, W remained outwardly calm, but inwardly nervously rubbed the detonator.

She is now almost certain that the little guy sitting next to her is a completely different person inside.

"Don't be so nervous. As long as you are quiet listeners, I naturally won't do anything to you."

As if completely oblivious to W's subtle movements, Gretchen, with a pure and innocent smile on her face, glanced lightly at Ines and Hedley beside her.

This was her little warning to the two of them, in case her pleasant conversation with W was interrupted.

Clearly, Gretchen's warning had the desired effect; the two were indeed taken aback, temporarily dispelling the various thoughts that had just surfaced in their minds.

Honestly, looking at W now, Gretchen is in a rather pleasant mood... the pleasure of bullying others.

Who hasn't been a bad woman at some point? In her past life, when she was a bad woman, W was just a two-dimensional character.

If it were a past life, Gretchen might have felt some goodwill towards this Sarkaz villain with a backstory.

Now that I've actually come to this real, cruel world and met real people, I don't have as much goodwill anymore. Even if I did, it's long since been worn away.

After all, unlike the one-dimensional and unrealistic portrayal in the game, Gretsch is now facing a real Sarkaz mercenary who is cruel and has a terrible personality.

Some people might think that W still has a gentle and kind side deep down, but what does that have to do with Gretsch now?

The little girl just wants to strike hard and teach someone a lesson in respect...

"Who are you...?"

group: 543659389

After listening to Gretchen's words, W glanced at his two comrades before lowering his voice to ask.

"Me? Guess?"

Clearly, in response to W's question, Gretchen lightly brushed her skirt aside, showing no intention of answering.

She paused, looking at W whose face was almost devoid of a smile, and continued, "How boring! Doesn't everyone say that when W smiles, it's never a good thing?"

"However, maybe it's not such a bad thing that you forced me to reveal myself? After all... little Gretsch doesn't know anything about Theresa~"

When Gretchen mentioned Theresa's name, she deliberately smiled and emphasized it.

To be honest, the little girl might understand W's joy a little now. Being sarcastic, deliberately provoking others, and then watching their expressions is just too funny.

When Gretchen mentioned the name, W did not move her body, but her golden pupils did involuntarily shrink slightly.

The other two beside her, though they also concealed their surprise well, also had a hint of astonishment in their eyes. It was as if they hadn't expected that Gretchen, who had suddenly become so strange, would know about or mention that prince.

"What do you know? And what's the story behind that painting?" W asked, having calmed herself down slightly.

After calming himself down, he quickly pressed for an answer.

"Pfft, don't be impatient~"

Seeing the anxiety flash in W's eyes, Gretchen slowly stood up, then casually pinched her chin and said with a smile.
