Chapter 362: 【Pseudo-Servant Christine】

Looking at Christine, who had already lost all signs of life before him, Li Ang immediately took out a puppet.

This was a specialized puppet he had crafted, combining a series of functions such as life support, sealing, and nurturing, with its inspiration drawn from Irisviel.

Unlike Servants, once a normal being steps into death, they quickly lose all vitality, which naturally includes the soul.

And the reason he had delayed acting for two days was precisely to craft this puppet to temporarily house Christine's soul.

After all, without a soul, Li Ang had no way at all to continue carrying out his subsequent plans.

Casually stuffing Christine's soul, already on the verge of collapse, into the puppet to protect it, Li Ang then began to examine her corpse.

After a while, he looked at the golden-haired, big-wave-haired figure floating before him, arranged into a spread-eagle shape by the Rinnegan, and expressionlessly withdrew his right hand.

'Good thing, not much different from a human.'

With this thought, Li Ang took out the materials he had long prepared.

Including but not limited to his bone powder, and Dead Apostles from the Type-Moon world.

Though for the latter, Li Ang estimated it probably wouldn't be needed; after all, ordinary Dead Apostles would actually be a downgrade for a Fourth Ability-level Christine.

Although his mind was occupied with other matters, the movements of his hands did not pause in the slightest, cleanly and decisively cutting open Christine's corpse.

Not long after, the scene transformed into a hellish tableau.

At the center of the tableau, Li Ang stood quietly before Christine's corpse, calmly performing modifications on it.

After an unknown amount of time, several pieces of information popped up on his professional panel.

【Successfully crafted a living puppet, professional experience (Living Puppet Master, Bronze and Fire King) +38753】.

【Living Puppet Master: lv20】.

【Bronze and Fire King: lv2 (24786/110000)】.

……

Christine only felt her consciousness sinking continuously in the darkness, her thoughts growing increasingly chaotic, and her sense of self becoming weaker and weaker.

After a long descent, as if having hit the bottom, she finally stopped at a certain boundary.

In a daze, a thought involuntarily flashed through Christine's mind.

'Is this death?'

Unfortunately, no one would answer her question on the boundary between life and death.

However, as time passed, Christine suddenly discovered that her originally muddled thoughts were gradually becoming clear.

Until—

"Huff huff—!!"

The vampire abruptly opened her eyes, sat up violently, gasping for breath like a drowning person.

She just stared blankly at the blurry scene before her, falling into a daze.

After a good while, once her vision gradually cleared, Christine slowly came back to her senses and began to survey the surrounding environment.

It was at this moment that she noticed a young man coldly staring at her.

The golden-haired, big-wave-haired woman subconsciously touched her cheek and asked in disbelief, "I'm not dead?"

After a brief silence, a surge of wild joy rose on Christine's face: "I'm not dead!"

Having truly experienced death once, no one understood the preciousness of life better than she did.

"Stand up, test whether there are any problems with this body."

However, just as Christine was ecstatic, a voice suddenly came over.

Then she uncontrollably stood up and began running, jumping, and using her Blood Race abilities.

"??"

Christine wanted to say something, but discovered she couldn't even open her mouth.

Only after a long time did she finally stop moving.

The vampire first opened and closed her mouth, then asked weakly, ". What did you do to me?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Li Ang recorded the data he had just obtained, answering without looking up, "From today onward, you are my person."

Hearing this, Christine couldn't help but be stunned, and then recalled the last sentence she had heard before losing consciousness.
