Chapter 1036 -1035

“So, Why don’t we start with your name ?” Anon asked with a smile as he looked at her.

“C-Carla… I am Carla.” She replied with a scared expression.

“Carla… Very good. So, Carla what is-” Before Anon could’ve completed his question, a knock was heard on the room’s door.

“Answer the door… It’s your room.” Anon spoke with a smile as he looked at Carla.

“Y-Yes ? Who is it ?” She asked with a scared expression.

“Ma’am… Your presence has been ordered at the dinning table by Madam Medusa at once.” The maid informed.

“Oh, the dinner is ready… Let’s go and eat something. We will continue this after dinner, Okay ?” Anon spoke with a smile as he looked at Carla.

“Y-Yes…” Carla spoke as she stood up from the bed and started walking towards the exit door.

But before she could’ve opened the door… Anon grabbed her hand.

“If you tried to run away or kill yourself, I will make sure that your soul will spend, not 10 or 20 years but many eternities in that purgatory that I just pulled you out of.

Hope you understand, right ?” Anon asked with a smile as he looked at Carla.

“I-I Understand….” Carla replied with a scared expression as she opened the door and started walking towards the main hall.

…

As soon as she reached near the Dinning table… She noticed that Medusa is sitting on the dinning table and she is looking at her with an angry expression.

“Where have you been ? Can’t you see the food is getting cold ?” Medusa asked with an angry expression.

“I-I am sorry.” Carla replied as she took her seat and started eating her food.

“They look like mother and child… Don’t they ?” Jessica asked Adeline with a smile. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

“Yeah, You are right.” Adeline replied with a smile.

“They really do.” Anon’s voice came From behind.

Everyone turned around and noticed that Anon was standing right behind them with a smile on his face.

“Oh, Master… You are here.” No.300 spoke as she looked at Anon with a smile.

“Hello, Luv.” Anon spoke as he walked forward and took a seat on the table.

As he ate the food, he continued to stair at Carla with a smile on his face.

“Hey, Medusa… Can I borrow her for tonight ? I want to teach her some skills.” Anon spoke with a smile as he looked at Medusa.

“Oh, As you wish master.” Medusa replied with a smile.

“Good.” Anon spoke with a smile.

“Hey, Master is going to teach you something shouldn’t you thank him ?” Medusa spoke as she looked at Carla with a serious expression.

“T-Thank you, Master.” Carla spoke with a scared expression.

“No worries, Luv. The things that I am going to teach you tonight will come handy in future.” Anon replied with a smile.

…

After the dinner, Anon’s room…

Anon is sitting in his room and behind him is standing Carla with a scared expression on her face.

“So, Let’s continue with our questions…” Anon spoke with a smile as he pulled out a dagger from his inventory that was made out of dark steel.

Carla didn’t speak anything and continued to stair at the ground with a scared expression in her eyes.

“You know… That dagger enchanted with holy magic in your room, it can really kill me.

But, do you know what this dagger is made out of ?” Anon asked with a smile as he looked at Carla.

“N-No…” Carla replied as she looked at the dagger.

“Dark steel.” Anon replied with a smile.

As soon as Carla heard these words, her facial expressions changed rapidly and a new kind of fear appeared in her eyes.

“D-Dark Steel ?” She asked with a very scared expression.

“From your reaction just now… I can tell that you are aware of what this thing can do, right ?” Anon asked with a smile.

Carla didn’t speak anything and just nodded her head in ‘Yes.’

“Good… Now, come here and put both of your hands on this table.” Anon ordered.

“Y-Yes.” Carla spoke as she immediately walked upto the table and placed her hands over the table.

“You are in a little girl’s body, but your soul isn’t a little girl’s soul. So, I will not hesitate to cut off your fingers if your took more than 2 seconds to speak after I have asked my question.

I will cut them, If I think you are lying and I will cut off your hands… If you tried something funny and believe me… If you got a cut by this blade your holy heals will be neglected completely on the wound.

Do you understand ?” Anon asked.

“Y-Yes.” She replied with a scared expression as she looked at Anon.

“Good. Now Carla… Are you a mender ?” Anon asked.

“I am.” Carla replied immediately.

“Were you sent by the gods to close the gates ?” Anon asked.

“Yes.” Carla replied.

“So, Did you close a gate last night ?” Anon asked.

“Yes, I did.” She replied without thinking twice.

“Good… Which was the gate ?” Anon asked.

“Near the Forest of Nightmares in the Human Kingdom, out of which unique greyish Monsters were coming out non-stop.” She replied in one breath.

‘This gate is the same gate that the Zombie Blondie discovered and wanted to explore, but I Killed him and forgot about it.’ Anon thought in his mind.

“Wait, How did you find out about this gate ?” Anon asked with a confused expression as he looked at Carla.

“I-I found it… Because- This-”

Anon immediately raised the dagger and acted as if he is going to cut off her fingers.

“I got it from sephie.” She spoke loudly as she closed her eyes.

As soon as Anon heard this, A serious expression appeared on his face.

He immediately placed the Dagger on her neck and looked her dead in the eyes.

“What are you talking about ?” Anon asked with a serious expression as his eyes glowed brightly purple.

“A-A message arrived at the Castle for her… I-I read the message and it said that the numbers of the Monsters coming out of that gate are increasing rapidly.

That’s how I got the gate’s location.” Carla replied with a scared expression.

“Phew~” Anon let out a sigh of relief as he took a seat again.

“What do they give you for closing the gates ?” Anon asked with a neutral expression as he looked at Carla.

“W-Who ?” Carla asked with a Confused expression.

“The gods… What do they give you for doing this shit ?” Anon asked.

“N-Nothing.” Carla replied with a neutral expression.

“Huh…?” Anon immediately looked at her with a confused expression.

“So, Is this like your hobby or something ?” Anon asked.

“No, It’s god’s orders… We have to do what they tell us to do.” Carla replied with a smile.

As soon as Anon heard this, An evil smile appeared over his face.

‘Hehehe… Time to play some mind games.’ Anon thought as he started building his web.

“My, My… So you are saying that you have been following their orders just because they are gods ?” Anon asked with a smile.

“Y-Yes.” Carla replied with a neutral expression as she didn’t understood what Anon was trying to ask.

“Why ? If they don’t give you anything, why do you follow their orders ?

Aren’t they just using you for their work, Just like a cheap, No not cheap… A free Slave.” Anon spoke as he looked at Carla.

“B-But, They protect me.” Carla replied as a worried expression started taking shape on her face and different thoughts started entering her mind.

“Yeah, If I killed you with this knife right now… Will they be able to save yourself soul ?

How will they save you ? Because once stabbed with this, there won’t be any soul to save.” Anon spoke as he showed her the Dark steel dagger.

“B-But-”

“But What ? You are even lower than my slaves, at least I treat them better and protect them from dangers.

But, What about you ? They only give you orders and treat you so badly. No one should be treated like this.” Anon replied as he acted like he is really sorry for her.

“M-My soul… If I don’t work, They will take my soul away and trap me in the Bottle.” She replied with a worried expression.

‘If I am going to corrupt her mind, I need to teach her what selfishness feels like and this is the most vulnerable time to do it.’ Anon thought as an evil idea entered inside his mind.

“So, What if I can cut off that connection between your soul and the gods ?” Anon asked with a smile.

“But, No one can do that.” She replied.

“Oh, I know some people who can do that. I mean if you want to be a slave for them… I will let you go, Because even I feel sorry for you at this point.

But If you really want to live your life freely, you should really think about leaving their side.

I will go to sleep now… If you want to be a slave for the gods, you have to leave my side, but if you really want to live a free life, come and meet me on the roof of this castle, tomorrow morning.” Anon spoke with a smile.
