the unnatural phenomena when we opened the bottle cap indicated that the source of the gene seed—the Human Empire—must also possess extraordinary spiritual accomplishments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in Lann’s view, the Lady of the Lake was merely a large mosaic on her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the mosaic fell, landing on the corpse on the ground, and the whole corpse seemed infected, turning into a large mosaic patch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large mosaic occasionally protruded on the left, fluctuated on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked less like a human body, more like an octopus caught on shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flabby and squirming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air inexplicably filled with a strong sea stench, even though the sunlight was just as bright, it gave a dirty feeling of being covered with mold and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a piece of greasy, dusty frosted glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the Lady of the Lake, Miss Nymph dared not twist her body to look, only showing her pretty back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her shoulders trembling revealed that even without seeing, the pervasive feeling was tormenting her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Lann, who had now activated mental defense measures——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retro photo filter, activated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to see the true form of the mutation, his spirit remained resilient, immune to the mental pollution just as a blind man receiving flirtatious looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ubank’s corpse on the ground was completely reduced to \"a puddle,\" the Lady of the Lake’s fingers emerged from the mosaic patch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restored to their original verdant form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lann merely thump his hand with his fist and then show no sign of disturbance throughout, the Lady smiled with satisfaction and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may ask him one question, only one. He is affected by Da Gun’s power; his mental structure can only hold up to this point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lady of the Lake turned back to the edge of the pool, hugging Nymph and patting her back to soothe her mental panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lann squinted slightly, moving closer to the mosaic on the ground in his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just right, I have only one question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s expression was not exactly intimate when facing the Lady of the Lake, but the necessary respect and friendliness were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he approached the already indecipherable corpse, his expression changed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This corpse, when alive, had led the Cannibal Tribe, slicing and hanging countless people like meat pigs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also gathered manpower, wantonly abducted young children, cruelly trained them into \"gift boxes\" adorned with bows, given to those \"kind lords.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann didn’t actually interact much with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could see that this person wasn’t actually evil... just greedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as long as evil could satisfy his greed, he would strive to become evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People always say \"There’s nothing wrong with pursuing a better life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubank, when alive, completely could not comprehend why Lann was determined to kill him; no one even paid him, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this logic made perfect sense to Lann himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think that for your own better life, you can trample on others’ lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think you’re working for big names, so even if you do wrong, no one dares to confront you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s tough luck, buddy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll confront it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a name, Ubank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s voice was calm and resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The henchmen must die, so must the boss of the whole slave-trafficking chain, regardless of the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your big boss’s name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dead man’s voice was flat, his remaining spirit almost completely corroded by Da Gun’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he only reacted due to the Lady’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a drowning-like gurgling throat sound, a lengthy name was uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince... Raf Stesa... Count.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying those words, the mosaic pool in Lann’s view suddenly expanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the corpse covered by the mosaic immediately collapsed into an even more unrecognizable form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the solid black mosaic patch in Lann’s view vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground before him, only a puddle of foul pus vaguely outlined some form of \"creature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I dissolved it, the interfering soul power comes from Da Gun; I can’t let it remain in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if with the dissolution of the corpse, the surrounding environment abruptly changed and returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nymph’s back also ceased trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you get the answer you were looking for, Lann?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lady of the Lake gently patted her messenger’s back while asking the Demon Hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This answer is crisp and decisive...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann tightened his gloves, producing a leather squeezing \"creak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flashed a sunny handsome smile to the Lady of the Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma’am, I am satisfied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this sunshine was not warm; instead, it was like a blood-drenched sunset... murderous intent ablaze!\u003C\u002Fp>",1175,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.941Z",1,"novelbin.me","737c3ba39c68fea292c72223640ae6a705048ecd0fb11b5d6c75620cf9be4b57","bear-school-astartes-chapter-109","bear-school-astartes-chapter-107",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
