——Although he thought so, Aiden still decided to call Halo to the conference room for a meeting first.
"Got any gripes to tell me, kid?" As soon as he entered, Halo sat down with an indifferent attitude," I’ve been behaving just as you asked these past days; you don’t have any complaints, do you?"
"You’ve nicely followed the prison rules, so of course I have no complaints. But looking at your recent behavior..." Aiden responded leisurely," it seems like you’re quite eager for me to be dissatisfied."
These days, Halo, who had a demon possessing her thanks to Daili, was noticeably more subdued, but this submissiveness was exhibited in a very peculiar way. fгeewebnovёl.com
She would "sit well" in a corner during all group activities, either seated or standing, doing nothing, just staring at the other prisoners passing by with a creepy expression that made everyone’s skin crawl.
In a place filled with the worst of the worst, if you weren’t a character that no one could take down, you’d most likely get beaten to a pulp so badly not even your mother would recognize you.
Yet she was Halo, the infamous "Mad Halo"; even the violence-addicted Camilla would take a detour with a grim face at her sight—the kickback from the blow that split her own jaw had clearly left a deep impression.
If even Camilla would avoid her, then practically no prisoner in the jail would want to mess with her—except for Fille. These days, Aiden had only heard that Fille’s attitude towards Halo had been somewhat abnormal, but that only meant glaring at her from the shadows.
Although Aiden had sealed Halo’s powers with the "Wordless Code," no prisoner knew about it. Since no one wanted to mess with her, nobody was aware that Halo had temporarily lost her peculiar reflective damage ability.
Additionally, Aiden had changed her prison uniform from orange to red, signifying an increase in the danger level of this prisoner, which made the other inmates even more wary of Halo.
Most prisoners were spreading the word that Halo was still a mad woman, only the type of her madness had changed.
Some perceptive ones could feel that Halo seemed even more chilling than before.
"Just a little provocation for my personal amusement," Halo grin.
"A goddess like you indulges in such lowly, annoying pleasures?" Aiden replied.
"To me, there’s no distinction between lowly and noble. Authority can influence a person. One who holds the ’Hatred’ authority is more fond of inciting and provoking others, generating hatred in them to manipulate further," Halo said with a laugh.
"I’ll bear that in mind and try not to fall for your tricks," Aiden said lightly," My intelligence network has received important news about Mr. Bloodshirt..."
Then, Aiden summarized the events he had observed about Mr. Bloodshirt at the "Infection" plan base, naturally omitting the existence of Qiqimora, the observer, only claiming it was discovered by an agent he happened to have placed there.
"That guy has found a direction," Halo said with a sarcastic smile on her face," I can see how anxious you are. After all, once he gets a hold of the Hand of Annihilation, you, kid, will be erased from this world."
"You seem to be in no hurry at all. If he kills me, he can complete the ritual, and you’ll lose your authority and divine position altogether, leaving you as nothing more than a pitiful ghost living in a believer’s body." Aiden retorted without mincing words.
"Not bad at provocation. Makes me really want to strangle you," Halo said with a twisted smile," So what exactly is your plan, kid?"
"We’re both in the same boat, so let’s not beat around the bush. I need to stop that guy. If I don’t stop him, we won’t even have the chance to use each other."
"So you’re suggesting I cooperate with you?" Halo scoffed.
"No, I want you to obediently let yourself be used by me, follow my commands, and act as I will," Aiden answered.
"On what grounds?" Halo frowned.
"On the grounds that I can suppress you now and hold the upper hand! Let’s not waste time now. I’m just going to ask you once. Agree, or refuse?" Aiden stared into Halo’s eyes.
"You’ve got some nerve," Halo raised an eyebrow," but what do you plan to do? What you really want to utilize is my revenge summoning, right?"
A direct hit.
"That’s right," Aiden readily admitted," Tell me, is there any way I can also develop a revenge summoning towards Mr. Bloodshirt?"
The Revenge Goddess’s revenge summoning could clearly sense Mr. Bloodshirt’s location, and this radar could somewhat control his movements and position. To use this ability precisely, one would have to consider bringing Halo to Sunset City.
Of course, that would not work, but Aiden had taken into account that Mr. Bloodshirt was also his archenemy. He could sense Mr. Bloodshirt through the revenge summoning, and he also had memories of being killed by him, still living under the shadow of death it had cast. He met the basic conditions for developing a revenge summoning towards Mr. Bloodshirt.
Halo had mentioned that the revenge summonings of revenants and wraiths originated from the power of the "Hatred" authority, only modified by necromancers with death magic. There should, therefore, be a way for him to develop a revenge summoning against Mr. Bloodshirt without becoming one of the undead. He couldn’t use the powers of the "Hatred" authority but could be influenced by its power.
However, Halo burst out laughing," there is a way, but it’s too troublesome. Let’s be straightforward; I’ll give you the best method."
"I said, let’s not waste time now."
Aiden felt that Halo was likely going to suggest transferring all divinity to her or letting her re-establish the Temple of Vengeance. Aiden wouldn’t agree to such proposals, and bringing them up would just be a waste of breath for both sides.
But Halo seemed unusually serious," Don’t worry, I also want to save time. You’re going to love my proposal this time, which is to let me use your body!"
Aiden was utterly flabbergasted.
"Is this proposal so bizarre? You look like you’ve been scared stiff, kid," Halo said mockingly.
"What kind of wicked idea are you concocting now?" Aiden asked suspiciously, scrutinizing Halo.
"To tell you the truth, my consciousness isn’t complete at the moment. To be accurate, it’s just a fragment. Although I don’t quite like putting it this way, the current me is closer to a wraith driven by revenge. If the owner of this body hadn’t offered it willingly, I wouldn’t be able to manipulate it so freely. But because of this, I gained a trait... that I can attach myself to a body that already has a ’tenant,’ creating a ’roommate’ situation," Halo explained.
"So what are you implying?"
"Let me, this wraith, attach myself to you," Halo said with a smile, pointing at Aiden.
