Demon King – Chapter 486 – Experimental Log

Through a series of studies, the director finally discovered the reason why the Daughters of Amber Crystal lived such short lives. While the strange abilities and powers remained without any clear explanation, the true cause of these girls dying young was precisely this substance he had named the Amber Crystal Factor.

From the moment of birth, this strange factor began stimulating their bodies to transform in a certain direction. However, the factor itself and the changes it caused were not malicious at all and did not harm their physical health in any way.

But when this transformation reached a midway point, it was as if some existence had abandoned them. The production of this factor suddenly stopped. For these girls, that was a fatal problem.

After years of ongoing transformation, aside from being consumed by the process itself, these factors had largely become a necessary resource for sustaining their life functions. Once production suddenly stopped, the result was that the girls could only rely on the small amount of factor left in their bodies to barely survive. It was essentially a death sentence.

After realizing this, the director immediately chose to extract the factor from another Daughter of Amber Crystal to extend his granddaughter’s life. Although it treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, at least it could keep her alive.

Whether for life extension or research, relying on just one Daughter of Amber Crystal was far from enough. Thus, after deeply studying the legends and patterns surrounding the Daughters of Amber Crystal and using his personal connections to investigate far and wide, the director brought back a total of three Daughters of Amber Crystal over time.

Of course, the number he found was not limited to just these. But the vast majority of parents would never so easily hand over their own children. He also knew exactly what he was doing. Forcing them by brute means was absolutely not an option.

The second Daughter of Amber Crystal was not even five years old. After her arrival, in order to obtain more Daughters of Amber Crystal for research, the director set his sights on the idea of human cloning.

Naturally, the results disappointed him. The cloned children, aside from retaining the traits of silver hair and blue eyes, did not contain even a trace of the Amber Crystal Factor.

After cloning more than ten with the same results, and confirming that these cloned girls were not Daughters of Amber Crystal, the director decided to let them live normal childhood lives. Thus, he went to Huanghai, far away from Crystal Amber City, and opened an orphanage there.

Although these girls were not Daughters of Amber Crystal, perhaps due to congenital defects or other reasons, they, like the original cloned girl, also left this world at a very early age. The photos Eiru had seen were actually of these cloned girls.

With the cloning plan having failed, the director still refused to give up. He believed there had to be some method to produce this factor.

Gradually descending into madness, he extracted the factor from the third Daughter of Amber Crystal and injected it into a normal girl. ¹ Is this Yuki’s mother?

To his delight, after the injection, the girl’s hair and eye color began to gradually change. After a period of time, they became the same silver hair and blue eyes as a Daughter of Amber Crystal.

But that was all. Aside from the change in hair and eye color, there were no other changes at all. With the experiment once again ending in failure, the director found himself feeling unusually irritated whenever he saw this girl.

To prevent losing control of his emotions and drawing attention, and also to leave no evidence behind, he directly handled the transfer procedures and sent the girl to another orphanage for placement.

Through this series of experiments, he still achieved quite a few results. At the very least, his granddaughter’s life was preserved. Although he claimed publicly that his granddaughter had been sent abroad for recuperation, in reality, he kept her in this very basement, sustaining her life.

“Yaoyao has been sleeping all this time and has never woken up… but maybe that’s for the best. If she woke up and saw the things I’ve done… no, she absolutely cannot see this. Everything was done by me. It has nothing to do with her.”

“Amber Crystal has gone missing. Not a single Daughter of Amber Crystal can be found anymore… even though all the factors from the three Daughters of Amber Crystal were injected, it will probably only keep Yaoyao going for another twenty or so years… what should I do after that?”

‘Wha… what the hell? That Yaoyao is still alive?’

After calculating the time of Amber Crystal’s disappearance against the timeline mentioned above, the little Demon Lord realized in horror that the old director’s granddaughter might really still be alive right now.

After finishing this research report, Her Majesty the Demon Lord also understood why this place interfered with her magic so severely. Because at least four Daughters of Amber Crystal’s special powers were still lingering within this basement.

“This place is not suitable for staying long. I need to get out…”

Just as she was about to make her escape, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly noticed a familiar address written in the booklet. It was the very apartment where she lived.

‘What the hell, you’ve got your eyes on me? I’m not some Daughter of Amber Crystal, okay?’

Completely baffled, the little Demon Lord flipped through the booklet again and discovered that its contents were records of the identities and residences of all Daughters of Amber Crystal over the past twenty to thirty years. Of course, this was limited to those he had found, and also included various suspected cases.

“No Little Ya, no Little Ya, no Little Ya”

Muttering to herself as she flipped from beginning to end, after confirming that there was no information about her own younger sister, Eiru finally let out a sigh of relief.

As for the fact that she herself had ended up in this registry booklet, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was not the least bit panicked. First, it only listed that apartment without any specific unit number. Second, even if this person really showed up at her door, there was no way he could actually catch her.

The notes about Eiru in the booklet were extremely vague. There was not even a name. But that made sense. She was essentially an unregistered person. It would be strange if he could find any real information on her.

“Using the recently widespread legend of the giant bat, I fooled a few foreign animal hunters into making contact with this girl… sixteen years old? The age does not match. Can only rule her out.”

These few lines packed with explosive information made Her Majesty the Demon Lord freeze in place. So that group had been sent by this old man? That was way too absurd.

Through these words, what Eiru saw was no longer a kind, gentle old man who loved children and always wore a smile. What she saw was a man who, for the sake of his granddaughter, had repeatedly challenged moral boundaries and gradually descended into a crazed, obsessive madman.

“Have you finished reading… so, can you help me?”

That mysterious voice sounded in her head once more. But unlike before, this time Eiru could feel the emotions of the voice’s owner.

Pleading, unwillingness, and a considerable degree of expectation. The voice that had guided her the whole way seemed to have been waiting for her arrival all along. There was a sense of viewing her as a savior.

“You’re not going to tell me… you’ve been awake this whole time, right?”

After seeing this much, if Eiru still could not guess the other party’s identity, then there really was something wrong with her little brain.

“Yes. Sometimes, even in a coma or deep sleep, we can still sense things outside… you should have experienced something similar too, right?”
