Volume 5, Chapter 88 – It’s Over, the Little Girl’s Brain Has Short-Circuited

“Waaah, Mommy, how much longer do we have to stay here… I want to go home, waaah.”

In the enclosed space,

A young elf boy cried pitifully as he nuzzled into an elf woman’s embrace, asking miserably.

In response, the elf woman… that is, Mina who had just been captured by House Solrog earlier, could only smile and stroke the child’s head, gently comforting him:

“Johnny, be good, don’t cry. We’ll be able to go back soon, just endure a little longer, be a good boy~”

Mina tried her best to soothe the child, lest his crying displease the House Solrog guards outside and result in punishment for the child.

Although she spoke with confidence,

Mina’s eyes were undoubtedly still filled with unease and anxiety.

While comforting her son, she also constantly looked around, observing this glass chamber that held them captive.

The glass was virtually indestructible—even when several elf colleagues had crashed into it until their heads bled, the glass remained unharmed. Outside the glass, one wraith after another wandered about, along with numerous fully armed, intimidating House Solrog guards.

“Don’t even think about it, there’s no escaping.”

Seeming to read Mina’s thoughts, a blonde elf sitting beside her, also wearing handcuffs and shackles, said wearily.

Undoubtedly,

The other party was stating objective facts.

But Mina simply couldn’t accept it.

A few years ago, she had finally managed to escape with her child—how could she be willing to be captured back to House Solrog’s base now? Mina knew all too well what House Solrog’s base would do to elves.

She didn’t care whether she herself lived or died, but she absolutely couldn’t accept her child being treated that way by House Solrog’s beasts.

“I can’t just give up like this…”

Mina muttered unwillingly.

“Not give up? Want to resist? That’ll only make them torture you more brutally. Either way it’s death—better to die easily. Liberation would be good too, to avoid hiding and running all the time, living so tiredly.”

The blonde elf leaned against the glass wall, saying self-defeatedly.

“If she could recover her strength, there might still be some hope… but looking at things now? Forget it…”

While speaking, the blonde elf thoughtfully glanced to the side.

Mina also followed the blonde elf’s gaze, directing her sight toward another corner of this chamber.

At this moment,

Under the gaze of Mina and several other elves, a delicate and adorable silver-haired elf girl with a pitiful expression was lying unconscious in the corner of the prison. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her beautiful face was filled with fear and unease.

Frail and delicate—this was the impression the girl gave at this moment.

Who could have imagined that this seemingly quite fragile girl had actually defeated so many House Solrog guards earlier?

However,

In the end, she still…

“Sigh.”

Thinking of the scene when the silver-haired girl had been knocked unconscious, thinking of that feeling of hope being shattered again, Mina sighed bitterly.

While sighing, this elf woman also felt deeply confused.

“Clearly we had such a big advantage then, how did she… suddenly just collapse?”

Obviously,

Mina was still bothered by everything that had happened then.

Regarding this, the elf man nearby said nonchalantly:

“This isn’t hard to understand. This girl is obviously still a child. Although her physical strength was trained to Divine Departure Realm by some miracle, her soul strength is ultimately insufficient… That ghost-controlling guy from House Solrog, that final roar was clearly aimed at the soul. It’s not strange that this child couldn’t withstand it, sigh.”

The man also couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.

“She’s still unconscious now, probably because her soul suffered severe damage… poor child. No, perhaps she’s not so pitiful. Being able to sleep through this time and avoid the pain that follows might also be a kind of fortune.”

“Soul severely damaged…”

Mina bit her lip, muttering with complex emotions.

However,

Just when everyone thought the silver-haired girl couldn’t wake up due to soul damage, the silver-haired girl who had been curled up in the corner for so long suddenly showed movement.

Her small, slender fingers suddenly twitched,

Then,

Under everyone’s bewildered gaze, the silver-haired girl who had been sleeping for so long slowly opened her eyes, revealing those beautiful emerald-colored pupils like gemstones.

Pure and innocent,

Yet carrying a trace of eerie emptiness.

Looking left and right, surveying her surroundings, then looking at the shackles on her body, the elf girl tilted her head in confusion.

“Mm?”

At the same time,

The recovered Mina and others hurriedly moved forward. Of course, because their bodies were bound by shackles, they couldn’t approach the silver-haired girl closely, and could only get as close as possible to her side, about two to three meters away.

“Little sister!! Are you alright?!”

Mina asked urgently.

For this girl who had once saved her and her son, Mina undoubtedly harbored gratitude in her heart.

Of course, under these circumstances, besides gratitude, Mina obviously still held some hope in her heart.

Hope that this little girl could recover the strength she had when dealing with Weider and lead them to escape this prison.

Rеаԁ оn KαtRеаⅾіոgСαfе

After all,

She didn’t want her child to die in House Solrog family’s laboratory like this.

Not just Mina—among the group of elves, while feeling grateful, they more or less harbored similar thoughts.

However,

They were perhaps destined to be disappointed.

Because under everyone’s gaze, the girl didn’t display the bearing that a Divine Departure Realm expert should have, but instead showed an expression quite uncomfortable with everyone’s staring. She trembled as she curled up her body, pitifully huddled in the corner, and scanned the surrounding elves with vigilant and fearful eyes.

“Wuu… who… who are you? Where… where is this?”

The girl blinked her watery big eyes, asking with a confused expression.

At this moment, the elf girl

Had none of the extraordinary dominance she’d shown when dealing with House Solrog before, but instead seemed dazed… really just like a teenage little girl?

“What, what’s going on?”

Seeing this scene, Mina froze in place.

“Stomach… hungry.”

Without paying attention to Mina and the others’ confusion, the silver-haired girl just continued rubbing her little belly, muttering pitifully.

“Her spirit suffered severe damage, her intelligence has probably regressed.”

After taking in the elf girl’s dazed and adorable appearance, the elf man said regretfully.

House Solrog family was already strong to begin with, and with their only hope in this condition, there was no possibility of jailbreak anymore.

The man wearily and despairingly sat back down in the corner.

Glancing at the man, then looking at the curled-up girl, Mina sighed helplessly.

Rеаⅾ оո ΚаtReаdіոɡСаfe

Although hope of leaving the prison was gone, as a mother, she still couldn’t bear to see such a small child so frightened.

Therefore,

After comforting her son, Mina carefully crouched down and gently soothed:

“Don’t be afraid, little one. Here, are you hungry? Want some honey cake? I made this myself, it’s very tasty~”

Saying this, Mina slowly took out food she had carried during their escape from her pocket and offered it to the elf girl.

Looking at the offered honey cake, the girl blinked and carefully leaned forward to sniff.

After smelling the food’s aroma, excitement flashed in the girl’s eyes, and she then opened her mouth and began munching on Mina’s honey cake.

“Good… tasty.”

“Is it? That’s good.”

Seeing the silver-haired girl accept her feeding, Mina smiled with relief. Then, watching the girl emerge from the corner eating the honey cake, Mina slowly raised her hand to rub the other’s little head.

The silver-haired girl’s head was soft and fragrant, quite comfortable to touch.

Just for some reason,

Mina always felt like she was doing something completely backwards?

Whatever,

It didn’t matter anymore…

However, just as Mina was enjoying the rare peace in the prison, an unexpected voice quietly reached the ears of all the elves. As this voice entered their ears, the elf girl whose eyes had always seemed somewhat hollow couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

“Lady Isabelle, this is the place.”

Mina: Isabelle?!!
