"Goo~"
"Gululu~"
"Ha...ha...ha..."
The exam bell rang softly, in the deserted women's restroom.
A slimy tentacle slowly retracted from Park Shuwen's hand, and as soon as it left the other's body, Park Shuwen collapsed onto the floor, gasping with her head hanging low.
An Le stood there with a pale neck, motionless, until the other two tentacles also gradually withdrew from the bodies of the two followers behind Park Shuwen, turning to dust...
As the tentacles distanced themselves from her body, Park Shuwen seemed to awaken from a deep dream, instinctively reaching for the retreating tentacles.
When those tentacles finally turned to dust, she widened her eyes and looked up at An Le, trembling as she spoke,
"I'm... I'm sorry, An Le... It's all my fault... Please forgive me..."
At this moment, Park Shuwen's face was flushed, her expression scattered, clearly not in the right state of mind.
She collapsed to the ground but continued to crawl towards An Le, mumbling,
"As long as you forgive me, I'll do whatever you say from now on, okay..."
"..."
"As long as... as long as you let me feel that comfort again from before... I'll listen to anything you say..."
Hearing this, An Le glanced down at her own hand, seeming to realize something.
Then, she lowered her eyes slightly and gently caressed Park Shuwen's cheek.
With the first touch, Park Shuwen's eyelashes trembled, as if still indulged in the previous pleasure.
Looking at the pathetic sight of Park Shuwen before her, An Le seemed to feel no pleasure from revenge at all.
But seeing Park Shuwen's appearance, she suddenly thought of something and asked,
"If I let you experience that feeling again, would you be willing to give up everything?"
Upon hearing this, Park Shuwen hesitated for a moment.
But as An Le's hand caressed her face, the pleasure, like a clinging disease, surged back into her mind.
"Okay... okay... whatever you say, An Le..."
Upon hearing this answer, An Le closed her eyes and murmured,
"I understand..."
"Is it enough now? Can you give me more..."
But just as Park Shuwen's face lit up with joy again, An Le placed her hand over her face, speaking lightly,
"Soon, you will forget all this and return to normal."
"Ah..."
Park Shuwen's eyes widened in disbelief, while An Le silently called out "Little Thumb" in her heart.
Little Thumb flicked its tongue, revealing its shape, and glanced helplessly at An Le, muttering,
"Is it necessary for me to correct her memory? Letting her break like this wouldn't be bad, given how they bullied you before."
"..."
An Le pursed her lips, but a moment later still said,
"That would be too much... Little Thumb, do it."
"Hmph."
Little Thumb flicked its tongue, its pink eyes suddenly turning to the unconscious Park Shuwen and her two followers.
In the instant the effect ended, their memories were distorted by Little Thumb's power, turning blank.
"..."
"Thump~"
The next second, Park Shuwen's eyes rolled back slightly, losing consciousness as she collapsed to the ground,
"Alright, in a few minutes they will forget everything and wake up. However, they might still instinctively fear you when they see you, hehe~"
"..."
An Le nodded and turned to leave the restroom.
With the exam already underway, the corridor was very quiet, as if An Le were the only one there.
Little Thumb watched An Le's hollow eyes, thinking she was falling back into old habits again; starting with the modifier always left her at a loss, and began to persuade,
"Ah, humans are like this.
"Everything you do is to make yourself happy. You helped them skip the process and get pleasure directly, so it's normal for them to become addicted...
Besides, even without my superpowers, aren't there many people in this world who abuse substances?"
As it spoke, An Le suddenly turned around, staring directly at Little Thumb with hollow eyes.
The terrifying pressure instantly caught Little Thumb's words in its throat, causing it to shift its gaze slightly, saying in a small voice,
"Okay, I won't say anymore."
"..."
An Le slowly turned her head back, but then she spoke again,
"Little Thumb, I know how to make those hosts give up everything without such despair."
"Ah, you mean..."
An Le raised her hand, recalling Park Shuwen's reaction earlier, and murmured,
"By using your ability, Little Thumb, to indulge them in pleasure, I should also be able to deplete their spiritual energy.
"Then, after it's done, have you correct their memory...
"They won't be harmed, and I can stop them from continuing to hurt Xiao Huan."
Hearing this, Little Thumb couldn't help but pout and mutter,
"You really come up with such plans..."
"Is it feasible?"
"Honestly, it is. But I must remind you, my hosts are partially immune to my superpower; the effect won't be as strong as it was on Park Shuwen."
"Then... just do it more times, they'll get addicted..."
"Hey..."
Little Thumb snorted lightly, looking at An Le again, asking,
"I've already told you all the weaknesses I know about them, who do you plan to deal with first?"
"Dealing with Spencer would be troublesome, so... let's find Senior Sister Ye first."
Speaking internally, An Le also arrived at the door of her exam room, knocking softly on the door.
"Knock knock~"
