Chapter 761: Would You Be Willing to Become My Queen Again?

But before Zuo Zuo could even react from the massive shock, Lynn had already slammed her down with a decisive *smack*, seizing the opportunity without a moment's hesitation. He swiftly pulled a bottle of pesticide from his System Space and forcefully poured it down her throat, *gulp gulp gulp*.

By the time Zuo Zuo realized what was happening, it was already too late. She could only struggle in shock as the bottle adorned with a skull emblem was shoved deep into her mouth, strange viscous liquid being poured relentlessly down her throat.

"Mmph!! Mmmphh!!"

She struggled, of course.

But it was completely futile.

Soon, after the entire bottle of pesticide had been administered, the System's notification chimed normally in Lynn's ear as expected.

[Ding! Your Left Hand chugged a bottle of expired pesticide. You have gained a negative status: Mental State -10%. Your Left Hand has gained a negative status: Mental State -90%]

[Ding! Your Left Hand's Affinity toward you -1]

[Ding! Your Left Hand's Affinity toward you -2]

Accompanying the continuous System notifications in his ear, Zuo Zuo was finally drenched until her palm turned green. When the bottle was pulled out with a *pop*, her entire hand was already (x﹏x), thoroughly green and livid. She turned her hand around and immediately started retching violently.

"Lo...lowdown!! You...you bastard!! Sneak-attacking your own left hand... damn you... *blegh*!"

She continued vomiting listlessly and miserably.

Lynn tossed the bottle aside and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally suppressed Zuo Zuo.

As expected.

Carrying some pesticide around was indeed incredibly effective against an abominable loli like Zuo Zuo.

Take that!

Lynn's gaze shifted back to the silver-haired girl across from him, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. He had already noticed that the Colossus's Brain's eyes had cleared up. Without a doubt, thanks to that accursed Zuo Zuo's disruption, the atmosphere he had worked so hard to build up just now had been completely, goddamn destroyed.

This feeling was like having a sudden flash of inspiration while writing a book, hitting a brilliant idea, only to be abruptly interrupted by a *smack* from behind. Trying to recapture that feeling again after that? It was nothing short of a pipe dream!

But Lynn still wanted to give it a try.

After all.

What if?

Lynn promptly extended his hand and coughed lightly. With his face thickness maxed out and his Morality stat lowered to the minimum, he actually managed to walk over as if nothing had happened, adjusted his Monocle, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"Please don't mind that. Forget about that unpleasant incident just now. We've only completed half of it, so how about we make up for the other half?"

Lynn blinked.

Then he familiarly reached out his hand, wanting to wrap his arm around her slender waist just like before.

The girl: "..."

And just as Lynn's wicked hand was about to touch the girl's skin—

Crack—

Lynn (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)—

Her long hair danced in the air. The girl's eyes were closed, yet her long, slender hand clamped onto Lynn's wrist like a steel vice tightening a screw. She stopped his movement, then lifted his arm in the opposite direction and twisted it back with brutal force.

[Ding! Your right arm is dislocated and fractured. Your vitality has decreased!]

Violence!

Pure violence!

And at that moment, Lynn knew that his chances of successfully knocking down the Colossus's Brain today were infinitely close to zero.

Lynn was absolutely heartbroken.

And it was all the fault of his accursed left hand. Couldn't you have just woken up a little later? At least let your Brain manage his time properly!

(ᗒᗨᗕ)

Lynn was over there painfully regenerating his arm.

Meanwhile, the girl, after twisting his arm off, didn't even spare him another glance. All her attention was focused entirely on his left hand.

She opened her clear eyes.

She reached out and gently cradled the (x﹏x) bubbling Zuo Zuo in her hands. Strands of faint light swirled around her fingertips, slowly seeping into Lynn's left hand.

And with that influx of cool, refreshing ripples.

Lynn immediately noticed that the symptoms of his pesticide poisoning vanished like smoke, thoroughly neutralized by that wave of energy.

"Thank you. Much better now."

Zuo Zuo, who had been (x﹏x) and bubbling, finally recovered and said:

"This despicable bastard! Super jerk! Always force-feeding this Left Hand poison. Wuwuwu."

The girl asked softly: "But you are my heart. Why would you be afraid of such a low-grade toxin?"

Zuo Zuo (x﹏x) replied: "Because he's been force-feeding me this stuff since I was little! This bastard! Back when this Left Hand first gained consciousness, he made me chug this stuff constantly. It really...really...*blegh*!"

Clearly.

The trauma was too severe.

It had long become a psychological shadow. One bottle and she was completely knocked out.

The moment she finished speaking, Lynn instantly felt an incredibly terrifying chill wash over him. Goosebumps exploded across his skin one after another.

Lynn turned to look.

There stood the girl holding his left hand, her fist clenched, her entire body seeming to radiate a cold, pitch-black aura of dread.

Without a doubt, all of it was directed at him.

Lynn stiffened.

But just for a moment, that murderous aura instantly receded.

The girl's face revealed an expression of rare clarity and softness. Cradling his left hand, she whispered gently:

"Then..."

"Then how about this, Queen."

"I'll help you kill him, and you can come back to my side. Even if you don't want to recover your former knowledge and memories, that's fine. I can wait patiently, because a King will always protect his Queen."

But just as she finished speaking—

"NO WAY!"

Lynn and Zuo Zuo rejected her proposal almost in perfect unison.

The girl froze in place.

Zuo Zuo quickly pulled back from her grasp and hid behind Lynn's chest, speaking warily:

"Why would I let you kill my Brain? Sure, he's useless, stuffed full of yellow waste material, but if he just disappeared like that, wouldn't all the times I saved him before be a complete waste? So no!"

(ᗒᗨᗕ)

You're being way too blunt about that!!

The girl stood there in a daze, then instinctively took a step closer.

But Lynn immediately assumed a defensive stance, ready to fold-jump at any moment. He said slowly: "Come on now, Brain. You're not really going to go back on your word, are you? You said you'd leave this generation's Heart Consciousness alone, and you did. Now you're not really thinking of breaking your promise and going after my Left Hand again, are you?"

Zuo Zuo also warily thumped against Lynn's ribs, signaling him to grab a weapon.

The kind that could throw down.

Clearly, on this kind of issue, she had absolutely zero intention of swapping Brains.

Because the reason was very simple.

You don't chop your dad's head off and get a new one just because he argues with you every day, right? One thing at a time!
