Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 781: Planned Accident (2)

The sirens of the fire trucks could be heard approaching quickly. The fire in the middle of the road made traffic flow standstill. The road was temporarily closed for firefighters to extinguish the big fire.

"..." Two girls just watched the incident with cold eyes from the top of a tall building.

They wondered if the culprit came from the Alchemy Association, or was it just a participant from the God Game who had started their hunt? Whoever it was, their actions were truly unforgivable.

What happened was not just an ambush but a blatant planned assassination attempt!

"The driver is on the run over there. Do you want me to hunt him down and bring him to you, big sister?" Rhea pointed in a direction with her magic eyes active.

"He's not a participant, probably just someone who's been paid to harm us. Just give him the punishment he deserves. We'll check on a bunch of people over there." Elysia glanced at a cafe near the crash site.

"Affirmative." Rhea nodded and chased the culprit as the wind.

'Ely, Xero is already there and is punishing those bad guys. What would you do? Stop him after what they did?' Elena seemed to ask, but she already had other intentions in mind.

'We don't know for sure if they are the mastermind or not, but they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. As long as no one dies, I'm good.' Elysia grabbed Sora and disappeared into invisibility. She flew down to the cafe in question.

'Just punishing them is worse than death and taking their chess pieces?' Elena suggested something sadistic, but Elysia didn't respond to it.

"Gyahaha, were those all your best struggles? Pathetic, yet you dare aim for the big fishes." Xero kicked a man who had fallen on the floor, covered in wounds and blood.

"Guh!" The gang boss glared at the white-haired boy as if he had a bitter grudge.

His men had just launched a planned operation that was considered perfect for eliminating the target. Instead of getting the jackpot, they were beaten half to death by this vile boy for no reason.

What's more, none of them could put up any meaningful resistance to this boy. The nightmare began when no one could escape from this cafe room.

"Aaah! You demons!" One of the men tried to escape by breaking the glass wall, but his attempt failed. Thus, he tried to scream desperately. "Help, anyone out there! Policeman, anyone! He is a murdering criminal!"

"You are so noisy." Xero rubbed his ears while grinning. "Unfortunately, no one can hear you, loser. Hm, let's get that before she comes here."

He then formed a hand claw gesture and stabbed through the chest of a nearby man.

"Argh!" The poor man screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Oops." Xero took out the chess piece and slapped the victim. "I didn't kill you."

"???" The poor man, full of wounds, examined his chest. Sure enough, he wasn't made into a donut. However, he felt that something was missing from within him moments later.

"Now it's your turn~" Xero went to everyone and snatched their chess pieces forcibly. He deliberately did it rudely and left them a little 'gift'.

"No, no, kind sir. Please let me go. I'll give you whatever it is. Just say it, and you'll get it! I am-" The gang boss crawled backward, full of fear.

Unfortunately, Xero grabbed his last prey's face and immediately took the fourth chess piece forcibly. After that, he just threw the guy like a trash sack. "I don't need to know who you are. I just need to know that you are a participant who must be eliminated. Thank you that I didn't kill you."

*Clack*

The door suddenly opened, and Elysia entered with a calm expression. She looked at the red-painted wall, then at the four people in gray snake symbol jackets lying on the floor, seriously injured.

The room was a complete mess and reeked like wet iron as if a psychopath killer had just tormented his victims.

"Oh, you've come. I've done my part." Xero immediately saved the chess pieces. He knew Elysia wouldn't be hurt from that shabby accident.

"Mm, good job. But at least play it neat and clean. How are you going to clean up this hysterical mess?" Elysia nodded slightly.

"Well, that's easy. They piss me off with their big mouths, but they're nothing more than paper tigers." Xero waved his hand and snapped his fingers.

The walls and floor were restored to their original state, and all the bloodstains disappeared without a trace. The four people on the floor floated up to sit on their seats like broken dolls.

Elysia looked at the four people as if she didn't care about their fate. It was easy for her to tell they had a slight permanent mental disability due to Xero taking their chess pieces roughly.

Even so, Elysia didn't fuss over it. She returned to invisibility and walked away. "Let's go back to our temporary base."

"..." Xero scratched his head. He didn't understand why the ever-kind girl suddenly became cold and calm in front of the sights and events just now.

Nevertheless, he just shrugged his shoulders and revoked his barrier. He left the scene as a black mist.

"..." Elysia watched the big fire on the read from a distance while waiting for Rhea. While Xero went back to guard her somewhere in the distance.

"I'm back. That person has received the punishment he deserves. The mastermind is the boss of the snake gang, but they've been dealt with." Rhea appeared out of thin air right behind Elysia. She knew what had just happened in that cafe's private room.

"Mm, let's head straight back." Elysia grabbed Rhea's hand before teleporting to their temporary base.

'Ely...' Elena voiced her concern but didn't know what to say. She remembered what Ai had said about Elysia's split personality, and now she could witness it.

'Yes, Sister Elena? Is there something you're worried about?' Elysia asked in a calm tone.

'Are you okay? For you to know, I will always be by your side.' Elena gently reminded Elysia about her worry rather than doing things that could risk their relationship.

'Mm, thank you. Don't you want to ask something?' Elysia knew what Elena was about to say because their mind sync was still there.

'It's okay. No matter how you change, you are still Ely, my Ely. That's what you told me in the Subconscious Mind.' Elena shook her head. She thought it could be called Elysia's improvements because being consistently kind and caring didn't always end well.

"Hehe, want to have a cup of tea with me?" Elysia spoke via mind sync, but she also said with her mouth.

"With pleasure." Rhea smiled slightly in accepting the offer.

Elena then materialized herself in the outside world. She also accepted the offer just because she wanted to accompany Elysia.

"Those people are ruthless and heartless. Sometimes, I think exterminating a portion of humanity is good." Sora circled around the teapot while grumbling.

"Yeah, but we can't beat that stigma to everyone. I'm a human too, you know?" Elysia poked the spirit, who couldn't stay still for a moment.

"You're a human, you were a human? You more look like an angel, a Goddess to me, though?" Sora responded innocently and honestly.

"Oh my... Want a cup of tea?" Elysia smiled in amusement and didn't think too deeply into that statement. Sora's directness reminded her of Celes and Hea.

"I'm good. The wind doesn't need to eat and drink. Ah, that vile boy is coming!" Sora turned into a gust of wind and flew to the ceiling.

Xero entered the house and went to sit on the sofa. He took out a can of frothy yellow drink from what he had just gotten for free. He tasted it a bit, and he immediately hated it.

"Hm? Is that a can of beer? That's no good, Tic. Come and have some tea with us." Elysia gave an inviting hand gesture.

"Huh?" Xero looked once more at the canned drink in his hand. He didn't find any harmful substances there.

Regardless, he accepted the offer and sat on the sofa opposite the girls. He put the canned drink on the table with no interest in it anymore.

"Yeah, kids shouldn't drink alcohol." Sora supported Elysia's advice.

"Who are you calling kids, fart brat? I was there before you came into existence." Xero frowned and raised his head to the ceiling.

"My name now is Sora, remember that. Wait, so you are an old ancestor who uses a child's body? I am the nature spirit of the wind. I'm not sure you have seniority over me. So, have some courtesy and manners with me, junior." Sora heaved a subtle sigh.

"Is it like that? Do you remember things that happened far in the past? How about more than a hundred thousand years ago?" Xero folded his arms.

"A hundred thousand years ago? Let's see... Hmph, why should I try to remember something insignificant that far away? We don't remember the past things that are not important." Sora snorted and flew down onto Elysia's shoulders.

"Then you're just a baby spirit. You can't change my mind." Xero accepted the freshly brewed tea and drank it without hesitation.

"Err, may I know how you got this? I'm sure there are certain regulations in supermarkets for alcoholic beverages." Elysia carried the canned drink away into the sink.

"I found a bunch of weird iron boxes on the side of the road. It's a free service, and I picked one up. Some people said this thing was top-tier, but it tasted like piss. Those mongrels lied to me." Xero clicked his tongue in annoyance. Those canned drinks are apparently just cheap products.

"You got a recommendation from the wrong person." Rhea covered her mouth as if she had just discovered something surprising.

"..." Xero ignored Rhea and drank the hot tea in one gulp.

"Some bad boy broke a vending machine for free drinks, and you happened to run into them on the street. So, they offer you to take one. It's not a free service." Elysia returned to her seat and explained what happened based on the conversation information she knew from their shared processing.

"Hm, so it's like that." Xero nodded slightly.

"May I know what you have planned for those chess pieces?" Elena suddenly asked just out of curiosity.

"It's a mine, and I'll be experimenting with it. Nothing to worry about." Xero raised his palm.

"All right. We need to purify it if you want to use it as a temporary power boost. I just discovered the energy in this thing dissipates over time. Don't do a foolish thing like in the past." Elena picked up a pawn and checked it between her fingers. There was a slight difference in energy density from the last time she saw it.

"Hum." Xero nodded in understanding and went to the room on the second floor. He needed to do an experiment soon.

Elena and Elysia invited Rhea to an experiment activity to uncover the chess piece of power's secrets.
