"Hmm? Su Yuan?" Dottore looked at Su Yuan with a trace of incomprehension and asked, "Why is there a faint smile on your face?"
"Su Yuan, have you finally come to your senses and decided to become friends with me, cooperate with my experiments, and walk together toward greater heights?"
"Yes, Dottore, I've thought it through. You're the only one I have in this world..."
Su Yuan forcibly suppressed the disgust in his heart and spoke those insincere and nauseating words to Dottore:
"For you, I'm willing to give up everything in this world, just to stay by your side..."
Dottore was well aware that Su Yuan could never truly submit to him...
So why was Su Yuan now saying such things and acting this way?
"Darling... what do you mean by this?"
A cold voice rang out from behind Su Yuan — it was "Furina."
"Hm?"
Hearing Furina say that so suddenly, Dottore also revealed a deeply confused expression.
He looked at Furina and Su Yuan and said:
"I thought you and Furina were just rather close friends..."
"I didn't expect things between you two had gone this far?"
"Little Dodo, please don't misunderstand anything. Furina and I really are just simple friends, nothing more..."
Su Yuan felt like he was going to vomit from his own disgust, but in order to redirect Furina's hatred toward Dottore, he had no choice but to act this way...
"Darling, I've been devoted to you with all my heart. Why would you hurt me like this...?"
"You actually called him Little Dodo???"
Furina's expression grew colder and more sorrowful:
"Why... why would you abandon me right in front of my eyes and say such things to someone else...?"
"And worse... to a man..."
"Darling, tell me—what do I lack, compared to him???"
The next moment, Dottore's expression changed drastically.
He could clearly sense a terrifying aura erupting from Furina — and it was locked onto him.
That's right — Eerie power! And not just any, but extremely pure Eerie power!
Even Neuvillette had never given him such a feeling before!
Dottore didn't have time to think.
He instantly called upon the small amount of Eerie power within his body to form a defensive barrier made from that very power...
But all of it was in vain—completely futile...
With a flash of an indistinct black shadow, Dottore's Eerie-power-constructed defensive shield shattered in an instant!!!
One of Dottore's arms was also severed clean off, blood splattering as it flew through the air!!!
At this moment, Dottore was gasping for breath, drenched in sweat, staring at the petite figure of Furina before him—yet from her, he felt an overwhelming power that he simply couldn't resist...
Dottore couldn't understand: When exactly had Furina entered an Eerie state?
And more importantly—what had just happened?
He hadn't even caught a glimpse of Furina's movement, yet his defense had been broken in an instant—and he had lost an arm...
And the most critical question was: Even if Furina had entered an Eerie state, how could she release such immense power???
Wasn't the strength one possessed after becoming Eerie supposed to be closely tied to the original strength of the host?
Furina may have been part of the former Hydro Archon Focalors, but now she was ultimately just a mortal from another world—so how could she erupt with such terrifying power?
What's more, he had used Eerie power to contaminate and control Focalors before—even in her complete form, Focalors had never unleashed such strength...
"Ha... hahahahaha..."
At that thought, Dottore suddenly burst into laughter...
"Su Yuan, Furina… you two have really given me quite the surprise…"
"So many unexpected variables… so many unknowns waiting to be explored…"
"I'm just… too excited, too happy…"
"Ahhhhh!!! I can feel my brain trembling!!!"
Dottore clutched his head with his only remaining hand, his entire body twitching and trembling, looking completely overwhelmed with manic excitement…
"Darling, just look at him… this man is a complete lunatic…"
"Furina" turned to look at Su Yuan and spoke coldly:
"Tell me—what do I lack, compared to him, that made you choose this path?"
"…Forget it. That doesn't matter anymore, darling…"
"Since your heart has been stolen by this filthy man, then I'll just kill him—then your heart will naturally return to me, right?"
"Whoever takes your heart… I'll kill them."
With an icy expression and terrifying seriousness, "Furina" said:
"If your heart never returns to me, darling… then I'll just kill everyone in this world."
"When there's no one left in this world but the two of us, your heart will definitely return to me… right?"
Su Yuan swallowed hard, choosing not to say anything…
This Eerie "Furina" was truly insane...
"Su Yuan," Dottore finally spoke, "I must admit, Eerie-form Furina is extremely powerful—I'm no match for her at all…"
"But clearly, you can't fully control her actions either…"
"Even if you use her to kill me, you won't escape unscathed…"
"Honestly, do you hate the idea of being friends with me so much? You'd rather resort to such a mutual destruction, lose-lose, drag-everyone-down kind of method to deal with me?"
"What a pity. All I'm losing is a single segment…"
Dottore looked at Su Yuan, as if genuinely regretful, and said:
"But you'll be losing your life."
"…You talk too much!"
"Furina" let out a cold snort, then once again turned into a blur too fast to see—rushing straight toward Dottore to kill him!
However, in the very next moment, the originally dark, nighttime Serenitea Pot suddenly lit up all at once—returning to the appearance of daytime!
Dottore gently grabbed Furina's hand in front of him and slowly said:
"Furina's Eerie transformation… it's tied to day and night, isn't it?"
As he spoke, Dottore used his remaining hand to strike the back of Furina's head hard—causing her to collapse to the ground, unconscious.
"Su Yuan, you really need to work on controlling your expressions better…"
Dottore smiled as he looked at Su Yuan and continued:
"When the Serenitea Pot turned to night just now, I clearly sensed a shift in your emotional state…"
"Then Furina was taken over by Eerie force—I admit, that caught me off guard…"
"But I quickly regained my composure and began analyzing the possibilities…"
"So I contacted Streetward Rambler and had her adjust the time system inside the Serenitea Pot to remain in a constant state of daytime."
"Looks like I was right…"
"Otherwise, I really might have lost you for good, Su Yuan…"
