Chapter 749 Answer my Questions, Please

A FEW MINUTES LATER.

Due to the bewildering changes that Alex had displayed on their meeting, Professor Frances has decided to accompany him.

This sudden decision might seem counter-intuitive, and those who saw this situation might think that the professor had been bewitched.

But this was not the case, as Alex did not use any spells or abilities to coerce the professor to follow him. He did not even use his Conqueror’s Aura, which will most likely be enough to change the professor’s mindset.

So why did the professor become like this?

It was because there are 2 important points that Alex told to the professor before their meeting ended, which were the catalyst for her decision to join him now.

[First: Alex was not guilty of killing any innocents, and all of his ’victims’ were his enemies.]

Professor Frances found it hard to believe at first, that a semi-corrupted person like Alex would not kill an innocent person.

After all, beings that were corrupted by the Abyss were extremely evil, to the point that they would not hesitate to do crimes that they would normally never do.

Such case was applied by the professor here, and the evidence of severed children heads made her think that Alex was just a scumbag now.

But when Alex allowed Professor Frances to inspect the heads, the latter found to her embarrassment, that he was indeed right.

"...."

Through the use of her soul magic, Professor Frances was able to ’interview’ the remaining souls present on the severed heads, and here she found out that none of them were victims at all.

They were indeed enemies that Alex had just cut down, and judging from what she had discovered from her interview, these people actually deserved getting this treatment too.

Half of the heads came from human-like monsters that inhabited the Ancestral Tomb, who just chose to attack Alex in order to eat him.

They obviously craved Alex’s flesh, and some of them even wanted to keep Alex alive for some days so that they can enjoy his meat fresh.

The other half came from actual humans who tried to kill Alex and the professor, and their intentions were even worse than the monsters.

These ’actual humans’ were followers that came from other religions, who were sneaked in to the Ancestral Tomb by the other Travelers. They were brought here in order to assist their respective Travelers, and they will do anything to make that happen.

Professor Frances had no exact idea on what these ’sneaked-in’ humans should do to assist their Travelers, but it seems that attacking or killing Alex and Professor Frances were the majority of these tasks.

"Since most of these humans either tried to eat him or kill us, then I guess they deserve to be treated this way."

"But why would Alex turn them into floating heads anyway? Does this have any significance at all? Or did he do it just because he can?"

This ’first point’ might have made Professor Frances feel less wary of Alex, but this was not enough to make her join him.

What made her actually want to join Alex was the ’second point,’ which in her opinion, could even convince Alina and Queen Mother to also join Alex.

[Second: Alex is now beginning to perform his plans inside the Ancestral Tomb, and it will directly benefit Professor Frances and her allies.]

At first, Professor Frances did not believe this second point.

After all, Alex did now show any signs of cooperating with Alina in regards to their Main Mission.

But after Alex explained his side through a series of arguments, the professor found herself unwillingly believing him.

"...."

Alex actually has a plan that will benefit both of them, and if it was pulled off perfectly, it can also solve all the problems that are plaguing their group now!

What made this better was the fact that the plan was just simple.

All that they had to do for the plan to succeed was-

D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N?????? D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????

D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????.D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????

D?? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????

D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????

With these two reasons backing up her courage, Professor Frances has ample reasons to join Alex, which she did, albeit with some hesitations about her future.

These hesitations naturally made her worry, but now that she’s under Alex’s grip, she can only hope that things will get better for her.

"...."

Whatever happens from here on will depend on her luck and Alex’s decisions, although she wishes that most of it will benefit her.

"..."

But looking at the way that her journey is going on right now, Professor Frances found it hard to believe that her wish for a successful journey will come true.

Especially when her travel companion acted in a manner which the professor can only describe as ’Irritable’.

______________

\u003c\u003cSo Professor Frances... now that I have proven my innocence to you, will you still treat me like a douchebag?\u003e\u003e While Professor Frances was mostly silent as she followed him, Alex was anything but silent, as he peppered the professor with questions as they moved along.

He seemed to not treat this tense journey like it was dangerous, and he was obviously using this trip to have some fun.

That much can be seen on how he pestered the professor, with the latter doing her best to ignore him.

\u003c\u003cSeriously professor. Please answer this question of mine. Please, I need to know about your thoughts about me at this point!\u003e\u003e

Even when the professor used her eyes to indicate that she was not interested on talking, Alex still continued his ’interview’.

And this time, he made his voice sound like that of a pleading child, as if he was asking a precious treasure from her.

"...."

This made Alex sound extremely hard to resist, and if it were any other normal person, they would have succumbed to his ’charms’ already.

Professor Frances was the crazy professor however, so she just ignored whatever Alex was doing to her.

\u003c\u003cHey professor! You joined me in my journey now, so shouldn’t you answer me? Come on, let’s talk like we used to before!\u003e\u003e

"...."

\u003c\u003c...\u003e\u003e

"..."

\u003c\u003cYou!\u003e\u003e

With the professor obstinately keeping silent against his assault, Alex naturally was angered, and for a second, he appeared as if he wanted to kick the professor out of his sheer rage.

Fortunately, this did not happen, as Alex hastily shook his head to evaporate his anger away.

\u003c\u003c...\u003e\u003e

"..."

\u003c\u003c...\u003e\u003e

Once he calmed himself down, Alex continued his irritating queries, and this time he did not show any of his emotions, even when Professor Frances also continued rejecting him.

\u003c\u003cSo what Professor Frances? What do you think of me? Please say something....\u003e\u003e

"...."

\u003c\u003cHey, hey, hey, can you hear me? Yohoo!\u003e\u003e

"..."

_______________

The unstoppable questions from Alex and the stone-cold silence from Professor Frances sound weird on their own already, but they became even more eerie because of the way that they travelled.

"...."

Alex and Professor Frances might sound like they were ’conversing’, but their bodies show no indication of it, as their positions and appearances as they travelled were just plain weird to look at.

"..."

Alex was currently moving forward in a stable speed, with his body covered by what looked like to be the classic tentacles.

These tentacles prevented him from seeing anything, and the addition of the severed heads made it harder for him to even look back.

Add the slime and the purple haze that leaked out of these tentacles, and it turned Alex’s surroundings into a large, blurry mosaic.

"..."

Professor Frances was in a somewhat similar situation as Alex, as just like him, her body wrapped by tentacles too.

But unlike Alex, she was not the one who made these tentacles cover her body.

And nor was she happy on being covered by the-

D????? I?????? S??????? T?????? O????? R???? T????? I???O??????? N??????

Due to the strength of the tentacles, the professor could not break free from them at all. This left her extremely immobile, and the only reason that she can move now was because she was being dragged by Alex as he moved forward.

Yes, the professor is being dragged by Alex right now, which is a state that nobody would be happy about.

Especially Professor Frances, who had to endure the taunts given to her by Alex’s Abyss Sprites.

|Look at that hooman! She looks like a trash can being dragged around by master!|

((Hahaha! So does this mean that we should stop calling her mad woman?))

||Yes! Let’s just call her trash woman!||

((Trash woman!))

||Trash woman!||

"...."

This resulting position was humiliating for the professor, but with her current weakness, she can only suck it up and let this happen.

After all, she had many more things to worry aside from how Alex dragged her...

"...."

______________

Because of the way that he handled her, Alex always had his back facing the professor

This, combined with all the objects that covered Alex’s body, should have made the professor free from his prying eyes.

But this did not happen at all.

Even with Alex’s senses limited, the professor could feel that he was still looking at her, as if his power was allowing him to observe each of her every move.

Even the smallest twitches on the professor’s veins were under this observation too, with Alex actually commenting on some of it earlier.

\u003c\u003cSo what do you think, miss professor? Have you been trying to treat me as your friend again? Come on, let me hear you admit it!\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003cOh, and don’t you dare try lying to me! I can observe your whole body right now, so I would know it if your life!\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003cHahaha! Go on, go on! Say it straight to me that I am your friend now!\u003e\u003e

"...."

This suffocating observation prowess of her ’companion’ gave the professor a feeling like she’s not fully free, but she did her best to ignore it, knowing that she will be experiencing this sensation through the entirety of this journey....

\u003c\u003cHey, please say something now, Professor Frances! I can’t wait for you to start talking!\u003e\u003e

"..."

\u003c\u003cCome on... just a little word will suffice okay?\u003e\u003e

"..."

Because of this irritating and non-stop observation of Alex on her body, Professor Frances could not help but snap at him, even though she was supposed to sound silent or pleasant now.

"Maybe I will treat you less bad now Alex, but you still look like a douchebag to me."

\u003c\u003cWhat? But I am innocent from your accusations! Every person that I decapitated and turned into puppets were all my enemies! They deserved what they get now, and none of them are ’victims’! Since it’s like that, then you should not be angry with me, right?\u003e\u003e

"..."

"Hmph, you may have used your power on the ’not-innocents’, but that does not mean that I trust you, Alex."

\u003c\u003cWhat? But you’re joining me now! on my journey!\u003e\u003e

"I am joining you right now, as I have nowhere else to go. And besides, it is pretty impossible for me to avoid you, so I might as well accompany you for a while."

\u003c\u003cWell, that’s slightly disappointing to hear, but since you are here to accompany me, then this could be considered as a good thing for me too-\u003e\u003e

"But don’t think that I will stay with you for longer, Alex. As long as I find a way to escape, I will desert your semi-corrupted ass."

\u003c\u003cArgh! And there you go bullying me with your words again! You’re so cruel Professor Frances!\u003e\u003e

"...."
