After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"It's alright. I am the inheritor of Orange Abyss. If I fight with all my might, I should be able to defeat this terrifying guy."

"Hmph... Hmph!"

Elusia sneered. In fact, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Orange Abyss was not known for its close combat skills.

Compared to actual combat personnel, they should be more like reconnaissance and snipers, providing battlefield support from the rear.

and so……

"Fine, I'll stop pretending. I'll show you my power from the abyss."

"Captain Elusia?"

"Don't be too scared after you witness my true power, okay? Senior Yicheng?"

Elusia gave a cold laugh, and a burst of black light appeared in her palm.

Like a black hole that was about to devour all colors, the girl raised her hand and pointed directly at the abyss pangolin's head.

(Is it sensory deprivation?)

Although it wasn't the first time Lonis had seen Elusia use this ability, each time she still didn't understand how the black-haired girl unleashed it.

Because whenever darkness descends, one's senses are temporarily deprived. By the time the senses are restored, the girl has already completed the spell.

However, this time...

……

"How...how is this possible?!"

With a cry of alarm, the black light shot straight towards the monster. However, Elusia's body also underwent a drastic change.

The mature and sexy black-haired girl disappeared, replaced by a black-haired little girl who looked flustered and somewhat at a loss.

"Uh?!"

"Elcia?!"

The atmosphere inside the driver's cab froze instantly.

After all, Su Ling had seen the little black-haired girl before... whether in the maid café or the villa on the mountaintop, this little girl had left a deep impression on Su Ling.

Senior Yicheng exclaimed in astonishment, as if she had discovered a new continent, "Is this the power from the abyss? It can actually turn a girl into a little loli. This kind of reverse aging is really making me faint."

"Who's aging in reverse?!"

……

Of course, no one else will know.

At this moment, Elusia was also extremely annoyed.

In the past few days, she has been busy piloting the magic ship and has forgotten about something very important—bullying Lorne.

Torture this little maid in white stockings, subjecting her to strange shame: this is not neglecting one's duties, but a necessary act before a major battle.

But perhaps Lorne has been behaving very well these past few days? So Elcia has forgotten about it.

The Abyss Pangolin is no ordinary monster. Although Elusia's magic is enough to seal its facial features, her own magic is no longer sufficient to maintain the form of a young girl.

Having exhausted her magic, the little black-haired girl could only...

(Hmph, switch 3, start.)

"Huh?"

If Elusia doesn't get replenished, the silver-haired maid will be the one who suffers... Lonnies blushed and knelt down on the ground.

Chapter 32 The Strange Activity at the Boundless Research Station

"Ahem, you didn't see anything just now, understand?"

Because she bullied Lonese again, Elcia, having received a boost of magic power, transformed back into her girl form.

But how could it be that nothing was seen?

Zhou Suling was completely stunned, her small mouth wide open, wanting to ask something but not daring to.

Yi Cheng nodded slightly and said, "I was blindfolded, so naturally I didn't see anything. I didn't see Captain Elusia turn into a little girl, nor did I see Lonnie suddenly blush and kneel on the ground."

"You bastard!"

Elusia glared fiercely at Yicheng, then coldly snorted, "Time is of the essence, I don't have time to explain to you, but in short, you're not allowed to go around spreading my story."

……

……

And so the matter was suppressed.

Meanwhile, the battle between the two strange beasts on the ground also came to an end... Because it had been deprived of its senses, the Abyss Pangolin was like a headless fly running around aimlessly, and naturally it was no match for the Tentacle Monster.

Before long, it was as if it had drunk a bowl of poisoned chicken soup, and was completely strangled by the tentacle monster, collapsing to the ground.

At this moment, everyone finally saw clearly what the tentacle monster was protecting.

Beneath its body, there was a 12-meter-long escape pod. Its cylindrical shape resembled the return capsule used in ancient lunar missions.

However, there was no one inside.

After confirming that it was safe, Elusia docked the magic ship near the escape pod.

The tentacle monster was quiet and did not attack the girls... Meanwhile, Elcia and Izumi disembarked from the ship and began to survey the inside of the life pod.

"There was no blood, but there were signs of sabotage."

Yi Cheng scanned the cockpit of the escape pod. Through the electronic pulses, she could see many things that were unknown to others: "It doesn't seem like it was destroyed from the outside, but more like it was destroyed from the inside."

"Internal sabotage?"

"Hmm, perhaps there were small explosives planted inside the escape pod, or perhaps someone suddenly activated the weapon. But judging from the tentacled monster's condition, what happened seems to be an internal power struggle."

"Is there a problem inside the Boundless Research Station?"

Elusia pondered for a moment, then turned and asked, "Yicheng, can you sense where the people inside this escape pod have gone?"

"Unfortunately, the rain in the boundless land is too complex, washing away all smells and traces. But at least from what I've observed, there is no blood here."

"..."

"There were only some drag marks, it seems the researchers inside the escape pod were perhaps taken away by someone."

……

Thus, the group did not find anything of great use inside the escape pod.

There wasn't even a logbook, but in the escape pod's storage compartment, Elusia found a battery. Although half its power was used up, this battery was a special type that could just be used to wake up White Coconut.

and so……

"Let's go back first. Once we get back and wake up Baiye, we should understand what's going on."

------------------

……

In the living room,

With a sound like an electric current being switched on, the white-haired girl slowly opened her eyes.

"Functionality compromised, repairing... Repair encountered a problem, initiating safe mode."

The electronic sound faded, and the white-haired girl uttered a questioning voice:

Where am I...?

"Hello, Baiye. My name is Elcia, and this is my white-stockinged maid, Lonnie. We are students from Chengche Academy and belong to the Vanguard Rescue Team. Could you please tell me what happened at the Boundless Research Station?"

"Rescue team, right..."

Baiye quickly stood up, seemingly wanting to tell the girls something.

However, a sudden electric current surged through her body, causing the doll to let out a painful cry: "Ah, ahh!"

"Baiye, what's wrong?"

"Captain Elusia, her system seems to have been tampered with."

"tamper?"

"Hmm, it seems to be locked by something. But I don't have hacking skills, so I don't know what it is..."

Gazing at the white coconut, Yi Cheng's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"I understand. White Coconut, is there anything else you can remember?"

"matter……"

"Yes, anything is fine. Don't worry, don't be nervous. We'll stay by your side and take good care of you."

Hearing Elusia's words of comfort, Baiye's condition improved somewhat:

"I am a home-based working doll. My daily task is to take care of the researchers' daily lives. I love this job and greet everyone every day."

"So, is everyone else doing well?"

"Everyone……"

"Yes, it's the researchers."

Elusia asked gently and persuasively.

“No, that doesn’t seem right… I remember now, just a week ago, Dr. Okali seemed a little nervous. She told me, ‘White Coconut, I won’t be sleeping in the bedroom tonight. Just bring breakfast to the lab tomorrow morning…’ But the next day, Dr. Okali didn’t eat breakfast either.”

What did she go to do?

"I don't know, but afterwards, all sorts of strange things happened at the research station. First, a researcher went insane, then the entire research institute experienced a power outage for no apparent reason, and strange knocking sounds were heard coming from the underground passage."

"What happened after that?"

"Yes, Dr. Maren went to investigate the information. After that, Dr. Okali asked me... Oh right, Dr. Okali asked me to seek support. Report to the research station about the demon attack!"
