45 Chapter 44

In a cellar somewhere.

*Creak*

In the complete darkness, suddenly, a heavy door opens, letting in some precious light rays. Thanks to that, the steps of the stair are illuminated.

The two girls walk down the staircase. On one girl's shoulder is a body of a woman. That woman is completely pale with bloodstains all over her clothes. She is also missing an arm. A left arm.

"Remember to destroy her phone after getting the numbers in it. We don't want them to find us that fast." A small voice speaks up. It's Nycta's.

"I know. It's not the first time we do something like this." Carrying the body with ease while wearing a mask, Lily answers.

*Thud*

The body is thrown onto the floor. If Sam were here, he would have recognized this poor but beautiful person. Because it's Marie.

*Pat pat pat*

Lily pats the dust off her hands: "There. Done! Let's turn the lights on. This is too dark that I can not see a thing!"

Nycta immediately says: "Welcome to my world! Oh wait, I don't even see light and dark."

"Um...No thanks..."

*Click*

The room instantly brightens up in a white light. From the look of it, the place looks exactly like what a doctor's office would be with a white floor, white walls, white tiles, and the smell of medical alcohol lingering in the air.

In the middle of the office is a normal patient bed. There are also some chairs, a cabinet with medications, and medical equipment such as syringes and catheters in the corner.

What is special about this room, is that it has various surgical instruments put on a table right next to the bed. Be it a bone saw, screwdrivers, or many strange items that can not be named easily by the normal person, it has a lot of those. Some are quite questionable whether or not they are for medical use or torture.

"This basement is much nicer than mine, very clean." Nycta says in awe.

Lily explains: "It used to be my father and mother's old office before he built the hospital. He is an ER doctor so we need to have a lot of things prepared all the time. This is why there is so much equipment. It's not exactly a surgery room, though. More like a procedure room."

*Sniff sniff*

"Smells much better than mine, too!"

"No. This place does not smell nicer than yours. Your cellar is just horrendous. I can still remember the first time coming there. You just throw the body in and just leave them to rot. Ugh!"

"That's why this place is much better! I should start dumping bodies here!!"

"I humbly decline. By the way, how is the guy who uploaded the video clip?"

"Dead." Nycta says the word nonchalantly. "It's been almost a week without water. At least he died without knowing he was going to. I consider that to be a bliss."

Lily looks at Nycta weirdly: "You see why it stinks all the time yet?"

Nycta shrugs her shoulders: "I don't have the time to cook or clean. Cleaning my own house is already too much for a blind girl. I need to keep an eye on Sam as well, you know."

"Although that sounds very irresponsible, I sadly have to agree with you."

"Thanks!"

"That's not a compliment, Nycta."

"Still thanks. It's good that we're going to live together. I can finally have you guys for my eyes. I can finally fawn all over Sam."

Lily grabs Marie by the throat and throws her on the patient's bed. She then ties Marie tightly with the straps on the sides of it.

"Don't forget to clean up your own mess..."

Nycta looks at Marie being tied up: "Can I just pay you guys to do it?"

"..."

Lily starts to bring out the equipment.

"What are we going to do to her?" The blind girl asks.

"I thought you had a plan? What do you have in mind?"

Nycta thinks carefully and says: "To be completely honest with you, I don't really know. I did not expect the initial plan to work this well. All I did was to use the assassin sent and return it to them. Everything after that had a lot of luck involved."

Lily starts preparing needles while she is talking. She also very efficiently uses a catheter and sticks it into Marie's vein.

"So how exactly did you do it?"

"Okay. This will be good." Nycta pulls over a chair and sits down.

She first clears her throat and then explains: "The head of the team who got to the hospital, that guy was in a secret relationship with a maid. Would you believe that? Once I controlled him, I started to look through his memories and his phone. And there it was, the picture of the maid he was in love with was right there as the screensaver."

Still working on Maire, Lily says in a slightly surprised voice:" That was really lucky! Oh, gotta take all of this off." She promptly tears Marie's clothes, revealing a naked body that would make any man swoon.

"I know, right? Then I called her out. Hijacked her brain, and boom. Done. 2 dead bodies."

"What about this?" Lily points at the unconscious Marie.

"Oh! Okay. That bitch really gave me an easy time. She fainted immediately after the head of the first body was blown up. My fading mana was unable to get into anyone else but her. There was literally no resistance at all."

At this point, Lily is astounded.

"That...is just...dumb..."

"I know! It was like everything was on our side! Even the Goddess must want them dead."

The masked girl looks closely at Marie for a while and says: "There is one thing I would like to try."

"I don't like the sound of that, Lily. This thing should not be given any chance at all."

Lily makes a stop hand gesture.

"Hear me out first. I would like Sam to see her once she is awake. You know, so that Sam can have his last words with her. I want him to be able to let it go totally, no more strings attached."

"What if he shows it some feelings? Compassion? Or even worst, Love?" Nycta is a little uncomfortable at Lily's suggestion. "I was thinking of giving it a good amount of mana so that she would become a walking time bomb. Then I would send it back to that place and detonate. The damage would be great to see, especially if that fucker is present."

"And I am thinking of cutting up her face so that no one would recognize her and throw her onto the hobo street to be some kind of cum bucket. I don't want Sam to taste its defiled dirty body."

Nycta claps her hands merrily: "That's nasty Lily. I like it!! I do agree with you. Sam should be having enough fun with our bodies. Not this. And it has a baby inside, too. Ugh, disgusting. There's nothing usable anymore."

Lily sighs heavily. Her azure eyes look sad.

"Let's be clear. I do NOT want Sam to see her again at all! He has suffered enough over the years. Yet I also want him to have closure. Unlike the rejected like me, Yui, and Yuno, he had a hope for happiness for 12 years and it was smashed to bits."

Nycta also sighs.

"I highly doubt that Sam would react like how we would want..."

"I wish Sam would finish her with his own hands. Rage, lust, anything, I would like Sam to show his emotion a bit more, rather than pushing his feelings aside. I think he still has it bottled up. If he could just release all of his frustration, I would feel relieved." Lily's eyes become a little misty.

"I would not like it if Sam were to have sex with it. I feel disgusted, not because of him, but because of it. However, I understand your point completely."

Lily looks deeply at Marie, her hands tremble.

"What would you do if Sam told you that he would marry you in the future? For more than a decade, you kept on believing in that promise, and one day you saw him kissing another girl right before telling you to back off?"

Nycta sits quietly. She says nothing, seemingly imagining the scenario.

Lily continues: "In my case, I would have committed suicide. I would first kill that bitch, then kill him, and finally myself." Then Lily turns her sad eyes at Nycta.

"It's so painful just to imagine. I would have been devastated. Just thinking about it gives me a feeling of knives cutting me on the inside."

"Do you want to live a life with him thinking that you lied to him?"

"No...of course not..."

"No matter what we think, I still love him. I want him to be free from his shackles. We are still humans, after all. There are things that we can and can not do."

"I just hope that this is the best choice, Lily."

"It is most definitely not the best choice, but one that we must do for Sam. He needs this."

The two girls look at each other, and they can see regret in the eyes of the other person.

"I don't want to do this..."

"Me too..."

"Let's do a video call. Could you wake her up for me, please?"

"Okay."
