Chapter 12: Real People

Olavi Island is quiet enough at night, especially in the jungle that takes up most of the island, even if the traces of the recent battle still remain.

Of course, it's hard to say whether these traces of the battle were devastation or the opposite for this jungle.

The dirt path had been completely submerged with plants, and now Agnes was surrounded by unidentified plants half a man tall. The plants, which required the botanist to carefully identify and name them after themselves, almost completely blocked the gap in the vine barrier in front of Agnes, making it completely impassable.

But these were minor problems, even before she was promoted to "Living Corpse", navigating through such a jungle was only a breeze for her, and now she needed to pay more attention to the obvious unstable state of Stitch.

It's not because of how terrifying Stitch's current appearance is, it's just because of the depraved aura that clearly spreads through Stitch's body.

The human body refining products of the Mother Earth Church are always a little strange, and Stitch always has a sense of incongruity just because the birth was not successful, the feeling of randomly putting parts of different people on the body of one person regardless of gender.

And now, this sense of incongruity is mixed with the aura of depravity, giving Agnes some familiarity......

Some illusory black threads in his eyes emitted bits of red light, overlapping with the night forest in front of him, and throwing them into Stitch's body.

"Pugni...... Mom. Stitch spoke with some difficulty, his eyes now tinged with a cloudy red, neither clear nor bright, and had a dirty feeling that was not as comfortable as it had been before.

His influence was obvious, both from himself and from his enemies.

The previous battle seemed to Agnes to be a completely one-sided battle, with layers of plants from short to tall almost an extension of Stitch's limbs, and his abilities were even more unpredictable, and Agnes could barely tell the level of traits from which his abilities came from.

The enemy showed a gesture of surprise when he fought Stitch for a while, and then almost completely gave up resistance, leaving behind the words "You must join us", and then died under Stitch's poison.

To be honest, this kind of death seems a bit funny to Agnes, even if the enemy doesn't fully show his strength, it's enough to see that this is an artificial vampire of the School of Life, in Sequence 7 or Sequence 6.

Agnes couldn't tell if it was because the gentleman didn't play the role of "medicine man" seriously, if he was simply unprepared for the poison, or if he gave up his resistance because he wanted to die at Stitch's hands, but it was clear that the words he left behind had a great impact on Stitch.

Of course, there may be some factors in this that Agnes is not yet clear about, and it is definitely related to the church, and Agnes secretly guesses that she is almost certain that the church has something to plan for Stitch, after all, Stitch is undoubtedly special.

Even in the evening, when Stitch asked Agnes to go with him to the School of Life, Agnes did not know anything about him because of his request to him; or, according to him, the strange task assigned to him by the Church to connect with the school of life; Or the strange attitude of the people of the School of Life undoubtedly reflects this.

He was born during the events of the Abbey of Pavla, and even though Agnes and the rest of the Church intervened to stabilize his state, his association with the "primordial moon" remained.

Agnes looked into Stitch's eyes and nodded slowly.

"You need to stabilize yourself." She spoke.

"What he said...... "Stitch said hesitantly, "the last time I met someone from the School of Life...... He said the same. ”

"What did he say?" Agnes asked casually as she walked over to the corpse lying in the quietly burning black flames.

"He said, 'I have a hunch that you're going to be our companion.'" Stitch followed Agnes's figure and whispered.

"Do you want to believe it yourself?" Agnes asked, staring back into Stitch's eyes.

"I ...... Unwilling. Stitch paused and whispered.

"If you don't want to, then the focus shouldn't be on whether you'll do what they're saying," Agnes slowly crouched down beside the corpse, "but on why they said it......

"Give me a box." Agnes said, taking the dirty-looking metal cigarette case from Stitch's reaction, filling it with the extraordinary property of the wound that slightly expanded and contracted as if it was still alive and beating with a pulse, and handed it to Stitch.

"Give me his body." Agnes raised her head and looked at the fading red in Stitch's eyes, and clearly felt the depraved aura on his body gradually disappearing, and a little red light faded from the illusory black silk thread, disappearing into the jungle at night.

"The corpse of a Freshly Dead Extraordinary is a good object for making a living corpse."

"You're really different now than you were when you were in Fenerport City......" Stitch couldn't help but twitch as he looked at the staggering corpse.

"Because I'm not going to do this kind of thing in Fenerport City to make the corpses of enemies into living corpses?" Agnes snapped off the branch next to her and poked at the already stiff muscles of the living corpse, and said casually.

"No......" Stitch shook his head and thought for a moment before he spoke, "You seem to be ...... Please forgive me for my somewhat offensive words, you look more ...... now Like a real person. ”

Agnes subconsciously turned her head to look at Stitch, letting the corners of her mouth pull a little smile, "Did you think I wasn't a real person when I was in Fenerport City?" ”

"No, that's not what I meant, I mean, you're a little more natural and ...... now," Stitch stopped talking in some annoyance.

"I would say that if it had been in Fenerport City, you would have chosen to stabilize my form through our connection." He thought for a moment.

Agnes was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, "Maybe it's just because you lack a resonant foundation now, and besides, from the beginning, the connection between us was weaker, and you now have more control over your state......"

"Yes, that's it," Stitch smiled, his incongruous face making the smile look a little hideous, "you now trust me to stabilize my condition." ”

"That's probably because I'm more willing to use it now when it's more compelling." Agnes said casually.
