Chapter 295: Lost Octopus (2)
Chapter 295: Lost Octopus (2)"What the fuck are you talking about?" Oh Kang-Woo murmured in a low voice.
He had been with Cha Yeon-Joo, Gaia, and Tian Wuchen for the past few days, making rules for Guardians, but he couldnt help but curse when he heard out of nowhere that Lilith had disappeared after he came back home.
Kneeling, Balrog lowered his head.
"After she had gone to hunt down the traces of demonic energy after you had commanded her to find the traces and eliminate the source contact with her had been severed."
" Wait just a second."
Kang-Woo called Liliths communication crystal orb.
Just like Balrog said, Lilith was not picking up.
He narrowed his eyes and focused his mind.
Lilith was his retainer; although they were not linked through the Authority of Subordination like him and Kim Si-Hun, they were still connected by the soul.
He closed his eyes in
"O-Oh no"
Seol-Ah turned pale.
If a beautiful woman like Lilith was kidnapped one couldnt help but imagine things beyond her just being physically restrained.
"I am also worried about that." As if hed read her mind, Balrog said in a serious tone, "The king didnt bother mentioning it, but Lilith is excessively beautiful. Honestly, we would have to take into account what you are imagining."
"!"
Seol-Ah shut her eyes tight to shoo away the horrifying thought.
"I will also help look for Lilith!"
She didnt know how to find traces of demonic energy or where to even begin searching, but she wanted to be of at least a little help to Lilith.
Seol-Ah had been able to become an item with Kang-Woo thanks to Liliths help. Lilith had given her the courage to confess to him. Theyd also become quite close after chatting about things she didnt know about Kang-Woo, such as what he liked and disliked, and many other things. She couldnt let Lilith go through something so insufferable.
"Thank you."
Balrog nodded while making a bitter smile. He knew she wouldnt be of much help, but they needed as much help as they could get.
Just then
"Ah," Seol-Ah exclaimed as if shed remembered something.
"What is it?" Balrog asked.
"C-Come to think of it. There was a box placed in front of our door without any address or sender written on it this morning."
"What?"
"I thought it had just been sent to us by accident, so I left it at the security office W-Wait just a moment!"
Seol-Ah quickly walked out of the room. She ran into Kang-Woo and told him to stay right here before returning with a box in her hands not long afterward.
"This is"
Kang-Woo narrowed his eyes as he stared at the box.
It was an unknown box that had arrived shortly after communication with Lilith had been severed. It was hard to see it as a simple coincidence.
Kang-Woo quickly tore open the box. In it was a black crystal orb.
"A communication crystal orb"
Crystal orbs made by processing mana stones did not require electricity, so they were used very often in daily life.
Kang-Woo raised the crystal orb.
"Fuuu," he nervously sighed. "All of you stay outside."
He couldnt predict what state she would be in. If she happened to be in the worst possible scenario in his imagination, then he should be the only one to see it.
""
Seol-Ah was about to say something but then nodded and dragged Echidna and Halcyon into the room. With a heavy expression, Balrog also nodded and followed behind them.
Her appearance was not leaving Kang-Woos head.
Kang-Woo activated the crystal orb, and a video appeared in midair as if it were a hologram. Within the video, he could see Lilith restrained within darkness.
"Lilith!" Kang-Woo called out. As he had expected, Lilith had been kidnapped by someone.
He could hear Liliths heartrending voice. Hearing that, he felt like his heart was being ripped apart, but at the same time, he felt relieved when he saw that she wasnt hurt.
It seemed this was a live feed; after seeing Kang-Woos face, Lilith urgently called out to him.
She sobbed. She was so sad that yellow pus, instead of tears, was flowing out of her eyes.
""
Countless tentacles shot out of her body.
The atmosphere that had been so grimthe cliche scene of the protagonist raging after seeing the kidnapped heroinewas taking a weird turn.
Yellow pus poured down from her eighteen red eyes, which were locked on Kang-Woo.
Kang-Woo clenched his fists. He bit his lip, trying his best to suppress a certain thought in his head while desperately trying to maintain the grim mood.
Liliths voice was filled with sadness.
The tentacles twisted hideously.
Like mold, red holes formed all over her purple skin.
Lilith screamed in a desperate voice.
The ends of her tentacles exploded, and yellow pus poured out of them as if her tentacles were fountains. The yellow pus splashed onto the crystal orb, making the feed blurry.
"Aah." Kang-Woo covered his face with his hands. "Please, please fucking stop Why are you doing this?"
Kang-Woo clenched his hair and lowered his head.
Tears flowed down his cheeks.
