Chapter 49: The Desireless One
“Leave it to Eypar!”
Eypar patted her chest with confidence and then leaned forward, diving towards the unconscious Lan Feng Su Yu with a “whoosh.”
“Hey?”
Night Star was completely baffled by this scene.
What happened next shocked Night Star even more.
Lan Feng Su Yu slowly stood up, sprouted a pink, silly-looking antenna on her head, and reopened her eyes, displaying an expression thatNight Star found all too familiar.
“Now I am Eypar.”
“This this this… what’s going on!?”
Night Star’s finger trembled slightly as she pointed at Lan Feng Su Yu, fear creeping into her expression.
This whole scene was truly absurd.
It seemed Eypar had entered Lan Feng Su Yu’s body, taking control of her.
Is this how ghosts generally operate?
Then Eypar grabbed the stunned Night Star, utilizing the stars within Lan Feng Su Yu’s body, and instantly vanished into the shadows.
The little doll lady did not seem to have caught on and allowed the two to escape successfully.
Night Lan inside the base jumped with excitement, nearly bouncing off her chair.
“Hooray! It’s great to be able to run away together!”
Night Lan kept shaking Mo Tu’s chair, making him quite frustrated.
“Stop that.”
“Heh… sorry.”
Night Lan instinctively released the chair, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.
Then, she remembered something and stared curiously at Mo Tu.
“Mo Tu… can you see ghosts?”
“A Night Watcher with high spiritual power can see them. What do you think?”
“Oh geez…”
It was indeed quite normal.
“It’s lucky you encountered such a unique Star Eclipses ghost. If other Night Watchers saw her, they might have destroyed her without realizing her uniqueness.”
“Mmm… Eypar is a good ghost.”
“I know.” Mo Tu said quietly.
He had predicted this when he first saw it in a divination.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let a Star Eclipses individual act so freely.
She had previously held the “New Star” type star, which wasn’t very versatile if placed in a Night Watcher.
That effect involved the soul leaving the body and entering one in an unconscious state, then taking control.
If she possessed a Night Watcher, she could use the Night Watcher’s stars.
And now, after becoming a Star Eclipses, Eypar hadn’t lost this special effect; she could still possess others’ bodies in an unconscious state.
Of course, the target needed to be unconscious.
Mo Tu had waited for Night Star because of this divination.
Back to the current scene.
Eypar roughly used Lan Feng Su Yu’s stars to drag Night Star away in a blur of speed.
They were moving so fast through the shadows that even Eypar’s eyes couldn’t keep up.
Just as Night Star sighed in relief, the lights in the stage area suddenly turned on, filling every corner with light, pushing back the shadows!
Lan Feng Su Yu’s 【Shadow Realm】 star could only be used where there were shadows.
Once the shadows disappeared, its power was nullified.
“Waaah!”
The light drove out the shadow the two were hiding in, forcing them out.
“What’s going on? What’s happening?”
Eypar looked bewildered, completely clueless about the situation.
“Mmm…”
When Night Star saw the blinding, high-powered lamps all around, she knew the cause.
Without a doubt, the little doll lady must have turned these lights on, causing their problems.
So those true dolls really are the most special ones?
Night Star suddenly felt quite ridiculous.
Eypar tried to use Lan Feng Su Yu’s 【Shadow Realm】 star again but found no shadows in the glow-filled area.
“Night Star, trouble! If you d*e, I’ll definitely find a way to turn you into a ghost like me. Waaaaah~”
Eypar hugged Night Star, weeping, completely disregarding the image issues of Lan Feng Su Yu.
Night Star couldn’t even bring herself to comment.
At this moment, she also saw the controlled Night Watcher rapidly approaching, flying as if pulled by invisible strings.
“What should we do…”
Night Star was incredibly nervous, instinctively seeking help from those around her.
“Ahhh…”
But when she was about to say something, she glimpsed at Mo Tu through Night Lan’s eyes.
His expression was calm and serene, as if everything was expected.
Seeing this, Night Star’s tension gradually eased.
Maybe… it wasn’t as terrifying after all.
Several menacing doll Night Watchers were rapidly closing in, leaving Night Star and Eypar with no way out.
Just as they were meters away, Night Star was surprised to see them stop.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Not only the doll Night Watchers but even the imposing doll lady stopped in place, looking dazed as if they had lost some desire.
Stomp… stomp…
A heavy footsteps echoed behind, and Night Star looked back to see a gray-haired man with a completely calm face.
It was Night Watcher Ya Que from the Solar Class.
Seated in his chair, Mo Tu calmly stated, “There, rescue is here. Why worry? A Night Watcher must learn to remain calm no matter what happens.”
“Oh…”
Night Lan curiously asked next, “What kind of star is that old man’s? Why aren’t those people moving?”
“【Desireless One】. This is Ya Que’s star. It’s an area-effect type, similar to Yao Can’s star. It can wipe out a specific desire in the target, like appetite, lust, power hunger, or survival instinct. Even if the target doesn’t have that desire, it forces them to react as if the desire has been removed. Now, those people probably lack the will to attack, rendering the control lines of the 【City of Dolls】 useless. Quite interesting.”
“Ooh… sounds pretty powerful!”
“Not bad. Solar stars are like that. 【Desireless One】 is actually rather ordinary.”
“Oh, I get it. Then, where does my star rank among Solar Class stars?”
Hearing that, Mo Tu rolled his eyes at Night Lan, “How do you compare your freak star with Solar Stars? Grow some dignity, will you?”
“Hehe~”
Night Lan took this as praise and suddenly felt incredibly proud!
Meanwhile, at the stage.
Ya Que approached Night Star and Eypar, glancing at “Lan Feng Su Yu.”
“Why do you have the aura of a Star Eclipses? Were you assimilated?”
“Huh? Well, uh…”
Eypar’s silly antenna wobbled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
Ya Que narrowed his eyes, his aura swelling up.
“Don’t want to answer?”
Night Star started getting nervous.
Would Ya Que destroy Eypar if he found out about her?
We need to stop that!
Right then, Mo Tu’s voice rang in Ya Que’s ear:
“Enough, forget about her. Take care of the doll instead. Your mission is to advance further north.”
“Alright.”
Ya Que diverted his gaze from the possessed Lan Feng Su Yu and headed toward the doll lady.
Seeing this, Eypar exhaled a sigh of relief, almost crying out.
“Whew… scary stuff for ghosts!”
