Chapter 398 - 338: Another Day as a Caregiver (Part 2)
Wen Ying couldn’t help but frown. "Can’t the stench be removed?"
Loli, "..."
’Why must she treat a cute little blade like me this way?’
"No..." Loli answered, her voice soft. She was clearly speaking slowly on purpose, afraid that with the slightest sign of displeasure, her true form would be crushed.
Her voice carried a hint of grievance, but unfortunately for her, Wen Ying, who had seen her true form, felt no pity for the "damsel in distress."
The scythe’s shape was a complete imitation of the Death God Scythe.
Its long handle was faintly visible, wreathed in a black mist. The blade, shaped like a crescent moon, glinted with a sharp light.
The blade and handle were both engraved with a chaotic jumble of patterns, their subjects impossible to discern.
To an ordinary person, it would certainly exude the aura of a death god.
But in Wen Ying’s eyes, this scythe was a poor imitation that fell far short of the original.
The engravings on it were worlds apart from the real thing.
Wen Ying reached out, her hand covered by two layers of gloves. Her fingers passed through the black mist and grasped the handle.
The handle vibrated, as if unwilling to be touched by her, but it didn’t do anything else out of line.
After all, it was Loli.
Fear had taken root in her heart.
Within the sharp blade, a sky full of bloodstains seemed to flash past like a dream.
If an ordinary person were to look at it, they would have been blinded instantly.
"I have to say, for an imitation, it does look the part."
Loli, "..."
’Is she insulting my character?’
’Does she have to keep calling me an imitation in every sentence?’
’But I’m not a person, so I can pretend not to care. After all, I can’t beat her.’
’Besides, the Death God Scythe is an incredibly dangerous weapon. How could a small fry like me possibly get my hands on it?’
’Even if I did get it, I’d have to offer it up to my superiors.’
"Start talking. Otherwise, I don’t mind..."
Wen Ying left the rest unsaid, but Loli knew this human was threatening her.
Wen Ying reached out and flicked the blade. Loli felt her scythe-body shudder, its internal structure on the verge of shattering.
This was the human’s warning to her.
"I... I can talk... But, the truth is, I achieved enlightenment and took the form of a scythe after a chance encounter with the Death God Scythe. I really don’t know anything else."
"Where is the Death God Scythe?"
"I... I don’t know!"
"I really don’t know! Please, stop making things difficult for me."
Loli shook her head, which manifested as the scythe’s blade shaking back and forth incessantly.
[What does she mean, Death God Scythe? It can’t be the stuff you read about online, can it?]
[Aren’t those just legends or things from novels people made up? They’re real?]
[I just looked it up, and the Death God Scythe looks a lot like Loli’s true form!]
[So it turns out the legends we thought were fake might actually be real!]
[Then I want to ask, does our Flower Country have Immortals? The underworld has already appeared, so are there Immortal Gods in the heavens? When I’m on a plane, all I see are thick clouds!]
[Don’t understand! Don’t ask! Just watch! Wait for Doctor Wen!]
Wen Ying released the handle. Loli took a breath, wanting to retreat but not daring to.
She stared in terror at the human woman before her.
Silence. The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Wen Ying simply stared at the scythe for a full five minutes before speaking.
Loli transformed back into her cute and charming little girl form.
But now, in the eyes of the onlookers, she was no longer the enticing little loli from the beginning.
She was clearly a life-taking Living Yama.
"Human, I can give you a good review, but you can’t appear in my room again."
Loli said this after much deliberation.
She knew the rules of this mental hospital; this human probably wouldn’t attack her again.
Wen Ying stared at her with a smile. "What, you don’t welcome me? If you’re giving me a good review, that means I provided good service and did a good job. Why wouldn’t you want me to come back? That’s quite a contradiction."
Loli, "..."
’This human is so damn difficult. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have provoked her in the first place. I would’ve just given her a good review and told her to scram.’
’But where in the world can you find a cure for regret?’
"Please, go take care of the other patients!" Loli pleaded, looking at Wen Ying with a tearful, whimpering expression.
One could actually see a hint of genuine sadness in her expression.
"Tell me where you saw the Death God Scythe, and I promise I won’t come back to ’serve’ you again."
"I..."
Loli looked fearfully at one of the walls in the room. "I don’t know where I was, but Hell was destroyed a long time ago, and the Death God Scythe was lost. I don’t know anything."
