章 133: Step-by-Step Instruction
The Titan Skull raised its gaze, speaking indifferently, "I never imagined—that you would harbor such vile thoughts towards such a young girl. But from what I see of your little schemes—they're not perverse to that extent—If I'm not mistaken—you probably want to keep playing the nurturing game—raising my daughter little by little, subtly molding her—let the water flow gently—let my dear girl slowly remember your shape, huh!"
The Titan Skull's face showed a malicious coldness.
Buzz—
Lynne was utterly hollowed out this time.
"I didn't... I really didn't... I..."
Lynne desperately wanted to argue.
"Huh—" The Titan Skull coldly turned, interrupting him, looking down dismissively, "Still pretending? If I'm not mistaken—you've probably already found out about my daughter's preferences—You might even know—My daughter loves shiny things—loves to be taken out for grand meals—enjoys bubble baths—loves to go out for drives and adventures—"
He let out a venomous cold laugh.
"She loves—being cuddled to sleep at night, doesn't she—you scoundrel—"
Lynne stood there, hollow, muttering to himself.
I didn't know before... But now it seems I know everything... Sir, are you sure you're not teaching me step by step? Are you really sure?!
The Titan Skull continued to look down at him indifferently, "But even if you know all this—trying to abduct my daughter is impossible—because as long as I am awake for even a moment—I will never let my daughter out of my sight—"
Lynne, feeling hollow, responded, "That's really good to hear..."
The Titan Skull, with narrowed eyes, said indifferently, "Unless you can figure out my chaotic schedule—"
Lynne (((;Д;))).
The Titan Skull paced slowly, continuing, "But you surely don't know—that I am only chaotic on days one, three, and five—lucid on two, four, and six—and on the seventh day, I give my daughter a day off—And it's only on that day that I let her go out on her own—without anyone to accompany her—I also sleep very deeply—so deep that even if she brings back any creature, I wouldn't hear it—But you definitely didn't know that—did you—"
Lynne (((;Д;))) said, "Yes... yes, I didn't..."
The Titan Skull closed its eyes, speaking softly, "So you see—your idea of abducting my daughter is nothing but a pipe dream—and if I ever see you alone with my daughter—I'll eat you—do you believe me?"
Lynne numbly said, "I believe..."
The Titan Skull nodded, adding indifferently, "However, lately I've been having trouble with my vision—seeing double often—I'm not sure when it'll get better—You didn't hear that, did you?"
Lynne hollowly said, "No..."
The Titan Skull nodded, standing with tentacles crossed, eyes closed: "That's good."
[Ding! The Titan Skull is very pleased, his favorability with you +10]
Lynne stood there, utterly bewildered and at a loss for words.
So... Is this some kind of hint? No! It almost feels like an explicit instruction! Isn't this basically a step-by-step tutorial? But that's not right! This was supposed to be a simple misunderstanding, so why does it feel like it's getting more complicated the more I try to explain?!
"Alright."
The Titan Skull said indifferently, "I've said what needed to be said. I was thinking of eating you right now, but my teeth haven't been great lately. Seeing you fills me up, so I might consider not eating you for now. But don't be ungrateful or give up halfway through, ah—"
The Titan Skull narrowed his eyes, revealing his frighteningly threatening teeth. His massive teeth, sharp like guillotine blades, glittered ominously at Lynne as if saying, "If you dare abandon your pursuit, I can easily grind you up like a dessert."
Terrifying indeed.
Lynne o(╥﹏╥)o said, "I understand... thank you for the guidance, Sir..."
This feels like being coerced into something against my will! But I truly see Little only as a great customer and a good friend, nothing more! I really don't have any ulterior motives!
After a long while, the Titan Skull resumed his indifferent demeanor, standing with his tentacles crossed, and said softly, "That's enough about my daughter. But you probably have many more questions for me. I'm in a good mood—I might give you a chance to ask them—"
Lynne vigorously shook his head, clearing his mind of the recent emotions and pushing them to the back of his mind. He quickly regained his composure, his expression turning serious as he earnestly said, "Yes, I indeed have some questions. I can tell that you, Sir, and your family... don't seem to be native to this world. So, where exactly do you come from?"
Lynne hesitated. This was a doubt that had been nagging at him ever since he encountered their family. According to the system's introduction, they seemed to be skulls that had fallen from a higher world into this dark one. And the [Titans]. In various legends on Earth, they are portrayed as a mighty race, akin to gods.
The Titan Skull, maintaining its indifferent posture, replied, "Of course, we are not natives of this world. I think you might already know—we are Titans—A supreme race that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods."
Lynne was taken aback.
The Titan Skull continued, "Your world is known to us as [The Realm of the Dead]—a dark world abandoned by the gods—Cursed—chaotic—unfortunate—filled with hatred—all the refuse and beings that should not exist in reality, along with the dead who are not meant to transcend, are dragged into this world—doomed to never find peace—Of course—apart from this refuse, there are many organizations that consider themselves sacred, interfering with this world, even sending troops to wage war against the monsters here—"
He glanced at Lynne.
"And there are not a few like you who have, due to various reasons and unfortunate circumstances, fallen into this world."
Lynne's expression turned contemplative. After a long pause, he earnestly looked up, asking seriously, "Then how can one leave this place and return to their original world?"
