"So, why did you two suddenly start fighting? You two don't usually interact much, so what was the reason?"
Upon hearing this, Suo immediately perked up:
[Now that things have come to this, the snake is hindering our escape, and we've gotten so caught up in the fight that we've lost track of time and missed our chance to escape—we absolutely cannot let her know this!]
Just as So was trying to use his brain to muddy the waters, the snake bluntly revealed everything:
"It's all his fault! He stays up all night, shouting things like 'Finally, I can leave this place, I'm free,' which keeps me awake."
I originally just wanted an apology, but he kept provoking me. How could I tolerate that? So I started fighting with him…”
Upon hearing this, Amelia's mouth agape slightly, and she looked at Sol in disbelief:
"You're trying to sneak away while we're sleeping, is that it?"
Looking at the astonished Amelia, and then at the snake with a face that seemed to say, "It's all his fault, it has nothing to do with me," So's eyes twitched. He thought about many things, but things had already developed to this point, and there was no use saying anything.
With a helpless sigh, he had no choice but to confess:
"Yes, that's exactly what he said."
How could you do this? Have we treated you badly?
Amelia covered her mouth, unable to believe that her sincere devotion had yielded such an outcome.
At this point, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so Suo had no choice but to reveal his predicament.
He first tore off the bandage wrapped around his forehead, and then, to the astonishment of the snake and Amelia, he removed the stitches, lifted his skull, and revealed his true form: a brain with teeth.
"Actually, I am not just a human being. I possess a brain transplant technique, which allows me to switch bodies by transplanting a brain and acquire the technique carried by that body."
With the aid of brain transplantation, I can theoretically live indefinitely as long as I keep switching bodies. However, it's obvious that my current body is aging, and if I don't switch bodies soon, I might die.
As Zoe revealed all his secrets, Amelia and the snake blinked at each other, then looked at each other for a few seconds.
After a moment of silence, the snake swallowed hard and asked a question:
"If you can inherit the body's techniques by changing bodies, wouldn't that mean you can possess countless techniques at the same time?"
To this question, So undoubtedly gave a negative answer:
"The human brain has a limited storage capacity for surgical techniques. At present, I can only retain the brain transplant techniques I was born with, the techniques of my current body, and the techniques of my previous body. I can't retain any more than that."
Upon receiving this answer, the snake breathed a long sigh of relief and finally felt at ease.
And Amelia asked:
"Do you need to kill someone to switch bodies?"
Chapter 91: Lilith's Decision
Upon hearing this, So was stunned for a moment. Although Amelia did not show any extra emotion, he knew that this question had to be answered carefully.
So Suo said:
"Depending on the situation, brain transplant surgery can be performed on both living and dead people. However, in general, to avoid risks, I will choose a suitable dead person to replace the body."
Hearing this, Amelia nodded thoughtfully, then asked:
"So the reason you want to run away is because this body is about to break down, so you're in a hurry to go down the mountain to replace it?"
"That's part of the reason, but more importantly..."
So paused for two seconds, wondering if he should reveal his long-planned scheme to assimilate humanity and Tianyuan into higher life forms. If he told the truth, his fate would be one of only two possibilities.
First ending: Amelia felt threatened by the plan and chose to kill Zoe in order to maintain her peaceful life.
The second possible ending: Amelia became interested in the plan and, with a playful attitude, not only released Zoro but also frequently helped him at crucial moments.
Of the two possible outcomes, So is inclined to believe the first one, based on his observations of Amelia over the past few days, that Amelia is very likely to do so.
But So ultimately decided to tell the truth.
Throughout his long life, So has been able to live peacefully to this day not only because of his wisdom and strength, but also because of his unpredictable luck.
So couldn't believe he would perish so easily, so he told everyone everything he had done for this long-term plan, including signing contracts with powerful sorcerers and collecting a large number of cursed spirits, explaining both the process and the purpose.
Halfway through his sentence, So couldn't help but laugh out loud. He stared into Amelia's purple eyes and chuckled:
"Isn't it interesting? To personally erase the concept of the 'individual' in civilization, to merge everyone into a whole, to share magical power and thought, and to create such a higher being—this is almost the most meaningful thing I can think of in my long life. What do you think?"
"........."
Amelia's response was neither anger nor fear, but a brief silence.
During this time, the snake that had transformed into a snake-headed man flicked its tongue, completely unable to comprehend So's vast and ambitious plan:
"So what's the point of you doing this?"
So asked in return:
"So what do you think can be considered meaningful?"
This question stumped the snake. Although he was a great demon, he had no desire to become the demon king or the strongest. He just wanted to stay here peacefully and live a quiet and stable life.
But if the snake were to voice its longing for an ordinary life at this moment, it would surely be ridiculed by So, so it stammered and could not answer no matter what.
Instead, Amelia broke the silence, looked at Zoe, and spoke without accusation or judgment, but rather with a tone of negotiation:
"Why didn't you say something so important sooner? Can your current body last until the boss wakes up again? If so, let the boss know first, and then we can make a decision after the boss gives his opinion."
Upon hearing Amelia's words, So blinked, completely unprepared for this turn of events. However, it suited his wishes, as things were currently moving in his favor.
[I wonder what Riri Zi's attitude will be if she finds out about this...]
The thought popped into So's mind. Although he had never seen Lilith make a move, she must be extremely powerful to be able to make a strong person like Amelia willing to become her servant.
Therefore, Suo felt a complex mix of emotions: "knowing that he did poorly on the test but still hoping for a high score when the paper was handed back."
With these feelings in mind, So spent a painful week in trepidation, and then Lilith woke up.
Sue forced himself to remain calm, personally prepared Lilith's breakfast, and quietly waited for Lilith to appear.
He first heard a slight sound of a door opening, followed by continuous, rhythmic footsteps coming from above, walking up the stairs, and slowly descending to the ground floor.
Su swallowed hard and looked toward the stairs. The first thing he saw was Lilith's feet, then her skirt, upper body, and that sleepy-eyed face.
Lilith rubbed her eyes and yawned, seemingly not fully awake from her sleep. The only thing keeping her moving was the aroma emanating from the six plates of heart-shaped fried eggs on the dining table.
When she arrived at the dining table and faced with breakfast, Lilith transformed into a ruthless eating machine, holding the plate and swallowing the heart-shaped fried eggs whole. After finishing the last plate of fried eggs, Lilith finally regained some energy.
She let out a soft burp, and was about to praise So to make her more willing to serve her, but before she could see So, what came into view was a maid with a snake's head.
"What the hell?! How can it be so ugly?!"
Upon seeing the snake's utterly repulsive appearance, Lilith instantly snapped to her senses and uttered those words, which were like a sharp sword piercing the snake's heart.
The snake, struck by the sword for no apparent reason, suddenly knelt on the ground, its entire body instantly losing its color.
"That's a bit too hurtful. He's obviously super handsome, okay..."
Only then did Lilith recognize from the snake's voice that the disgusting creature before her was the three-hundred-meter-long serpent from the lake outside. She raised an eyebrow, filled with doubt:
"It's you? I don't remember you looking like this before... Can you disappear from my sight? Seeing you makes me feel like throwing up."
The sharpness of this statement far surpassed that of the previous one, leaving the snake no choice but to crouch in the corner, stretching out its finger to draw circles on the ground, attempting to curse Lilith in this childish way.
Amelia stepped forward at the right moment and explained to Lilith why the snake had transformed into a human and was dressed in a maid outfit, her words revolving around...
"I see. Tell me your reason for running away, and let me see if it's sufficient."
With Amelia's guidance, Lilith successfully focused her attention on So.
Facing Lilith's gaze, So was a little nervous, but he had already rehearsed this scene countless times in his mind over the past few days. He took a deep breath and said his plan in extremely concise words. Not only that, he also revealed the entire brain-transfer technique.
Then, he stared intently at Lilith, nervously awaiting the trial.
"I see, I understand."
Lilith sighed, her brows lowered, looking sorrowful and compassionate. Just as So sensed something was wrong, Lilith said:
"This is the first time I've been cared for by someone other than Amelia. I forgot that servants can also have their own lives. How careless of me..."
How about this: from now on, you only need to take care of me while I'm awake, and the rest of the time is your vacation time, okay?
Chapter 92: Descending the Mountain
Upon hearing this, Suo couldn't believe his ears at first, but when he realized it wasn't a hallucination, he was overjoyed.
"You really think so?"
Without realizing it, So started using honorifics when addressing Lilith, and when Lilith nodded slightly, So was as happy as a child who was hundreds of years old.
In this way, not only can So maintain his freedom most of the time, but he also has Lilith as a powerful and unfathomable backer.
As for the reward I should receive for becoming Lilith's maid? To hell with the reward!
However, people's joys and sorrows are not shared. Lilith's words were good news for So, but for Amelia, they were absolutely bad news.
For many years, Amelia has taken good care of Lilith, enjoying the feeling of caring for her, and even getting upset when Lilith is sleeping and doesn't have time for her.
But now? Lilith says maids should have holidays? Isn't that just blatantly telling Amelia: I don't need you!
Thinking of this, Amelia trembled, quickly went to Lilith's side, hugged her leg, and cried out in despair:
"No, boss! I don't need a vacation! I want to serve you forever and ever!"
Seeing Amelia crying her eyes out, Lilith felt a pang of pity, but then she noticed the tears and snot smeared all over her skirt, and Lilith's eyes twitched.
"Let go."
Amelia hugged him even tighter:
"No, boss! Cancel my vacation first, then I'll let go! Otherwise, I'll keep doing this!"
"........."
Lilith was speechless. She had never heard such an outrageous request before. She was about to agree to Amelia's request, but then she remembered that Amelia had been following her from the beginning and had hardly any free time of her own.
This kind of life has shaped Amelia's current personality. If it continues, Amelia will eventually get sick from being so repressed.
So Lilith stopped being soft-hearted and hardened her stance:
"I refuse."
