Chapter 445: 150. Cursed Angel_4

She was supposed to be strictly sealed, but she now was sneakily slipping out of the sealed space, wandering in the underground passageways.

Her area of activity was approximately one to two thousand meters around the alchemy array that sealed her, which is exactly the range of the Fissure Corridor.

Although she couldn’t leave the underground, this was enough to prove that the space sealing her had a significant loophole.

And this loophole was created by Samuelson, the Soul-stealing Wizard, and a group of Black City Alchemists.

According to the little girl, she could not transform Samuelson and the others into aberrations.

Samuelson gave her an elusive feeling, as if the crow was standing in front of her, and yet not really there. This should be the effect of ‘sense tampering’. Samuelson was tampering with her senses so that her curse could not accurately target him.

The Soul-stealing Wizard could completely resist the girl’s attack. Even when she gritted her teeth and martialled all her strength to use her ability, she could not turn him into a monster.

As for the alchemists of the Black City, the girl was completely helpless against them because they did not possess flesh and blood.

Since there was no flesh and blood, the curse ability that could turn people into aberrations could not take effect.

Based on the sequence of events described by the little girl, Noland Lee came to a conclusion:

First, although the girl was a cursed angel, she had not lost her mind and her spirit had not been warped by extraterrestrial space pollution. She retained her intelligence, and her level of innocence was similar to that of an ordinary ten-year-old girl.

Second, the girl’s curse ability only works on flesh and blood creatures. Those with the ‘Bloodless Constitution’ trait were immune to her curse.

Third, the loophole in the sealed space was deliberately created by Samuelson and others. They planned to completely release the little girl from the sealed space and then bring her elsewhere.

The so-called assistance in the magical enlightenment of the Nest Core was actually Samuelson and the others attempting to use the Nest Core as a medium, teaching the girl magical knowledge, twisting her values and making her an extraordinary being under their control.

In this process, the bone-mending wand was an important tool used by Samuelson to twist the girl’s mind. Fortunately, the extraordinary power within the girl was stronger than the bone-mending wand. The wand shattered under the girl’s resistance, but she was unharmed.

As for why closing the Great Rift in Union City inevitably lead to the revival of a Great Rift elsewhere, Noland Lee also knew the answer.

This was caused by the alchemy array sealing the girl.

The nationwide Great Rifts corresponded to the ten alchemy arrays sealing the girl.

Closing the Great Rift was the equivalent of closing the array.

If all ten arrays were closed, the sealed space would be completely detached from the natural world.

In this situation, the alchemy symbol “الخلود” would no longer be able to communicate with the sealed space and draw power from the girl.

To ensure that the alchemy symbol “الخلود” was always active, the Golden Dynasty had specially set up the sealing array to a state where “at least one must be open” when they were constructed.

The Alchemy Cathedral should have known about this.

However, the colossal value of the all-purpose metal powder prompted the Alchemy Cathedral to tacitly allow the existence of aberrations, thereby dissuading themselves from altering the parameters of the sealing array.

Noland Lee’s standpoint was independent, undirected by various forces like the Alchemy Cathedral and the Soul-stealing Wizard.

He had the Deconstruction Core System in hand, capable of piercing through the fog that shrouds things and understanding their essence.

Noland Lee was the only one in this world who knew the girl’s true identity.

She was not some “wicked cursed angel who turns flesh and blood creatures into aberrations at the slightest provocation”.

She was a “young cursed angel”.

Her appearance was different from the “angels” that Noland remembered. This was likely due to the extraordinary traits and residual pollutants in her body not having been effectively controlled and guided. This extraordinary principle was similar to the situation in the world of “The Wizard”, where female sorceresses could not effectively control their own magic at the beginning of their awakening, leading to physical deformities.

Given time, if the girl could expel the residual pollutants from her body and control her internal extraordinary traits, she would naturally undergo a metamorphosis.

Of course, whether her image then would match Noland’s impression of an “angel” was something he was not entirely sure about.

Faced with a little girl who has a powerful curse and who is involved in historical events from the ancient to the modern, Noland Lee found himself asking a question:

What was he supposed to do now?

Should he use words to bewitch the girl, controlling her thoughts and actions?

Or should he help her escape from the sealed space, gain her trust, and treat her as a companion as he secretly takes her overseas?

Or perhaps, should he rescue her, take a reward, and then cut himself off from the subsequent trouble?

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…” The pen controlled by the girl wrote the last line on the notebook:

“Can you help me…”

Noland Lee took a deep breath and wrote back:

“I am willing to help you, but the trouble only begins once you regain your freedom. The extraordinary strength you control is frightening, and your mysterious origin is unknown. Despite your naivety, it is difficult for others to understand and accept you. They will fear your extraordinary powers, be afraid of your appearance, and consider you a monster that can turn people into aberrations.

“The ancient alchemists who could prove your previous identity as an ordinary girl are likely extinct along with the Golden Dynasty. The Alchemy Cathedral probably knows of your existence and your origin. But considering the situation here in Union City, the Alchemy Cathedral may not want you to regain your freedom. I regret your ordeal. Give me some time to think.”
