"Indeed, indeed."
Jiang Wang muttered strangely, then reached out and patted the paper wolf's head.
The creature immediately collapsed to the ground, falling into an infant-like sleep.
Chapter 922: The Ability to Evolve
The Soul-Devouring Witch quickly emerged, sitting on the bed and looking at Jiang Wang with a strange expression.
The emotion in her eyes was incredibly complex, mixed with love, regret, and even a hint of reluctance.
It could only be said that the nightmare of that abusive relationship had made her feel like her mind was a little off.
Fortunately, she had successfully elevated her magic eye to a new level.
She now possessed the actual strength of the fifth level, and as before, she could absorb the souls of others to become stronger.
Furthermore, her soul had become even more powerful, allowing her to clearly sense her limits.
In other words, she didn't have to worry about bursting herself by absorbing too many souls.
She had also awakened a new ability to cut and fuse the souls she absorbed.
For example, after absorbing someone, she could remove all unnecessary memories and only retain the "power" she needed.
This was the function of cutting, which could greatly reduce her soul burden and allow her to store more souls.
The ability to fuse was even easier to understand; it was simply kneading two souls together.
This ability was quite interesting, as multiple low-level souls had a chance to become high-level after fusion.
Frankly, the Soul-Devouring Witch felt that her magic eye ability was trying to turn her into a mass-murdering madwoman.
As long as she kept killing and absorbing souls, she could break through her realm of strength.
Without exaggeration, killing was her only way out.
However, unfortunately, she was after all a strong person from the Holy Temple, and for her, indiscriminate killing was absolutely impossible.
She had indeed acted like a crazy woman before, but that was just a disguise.
Being in a lunatic organization like the World Serpent, it was definitely impossible not to be a little crazy.
Now that she had switched her allegiance and expressed her loyalty, there was naturally no need to pretend anymore.
"Ah, how did it come to this?"
The Soul-Devouring Witch sighed, a little embarrassed as she shifted her gaze away from Jiang Wang's face.
Now that she had awakened from the dream, her thoughts were clear.
The reason the lover in her dream looked like Jiang Wang.
Was not at Jiang Wang's request, nor was it the Dream Demon King's deliberate prank.
It was her true heart, because she indeed had some feelings for Jiang Wang.
The Dream Demon King had noticed these thoughts and then arranged it.
For the Dream Demon King, she might have simply projected the image of the lover in the Soul-Devouring Witch's heart.
After all, to pursue reality, only in this way could she have the most painful memories and elevate the realm of her magic eye.
If she had fabricated a lover, although it wouldn't have had the opposite effect, the effect would definitely have been slightly inferior.
So, in the end, the feeling of reality was the best, which was why the Soul-Devouring Witch was now like this.
She looked at Jiang Wang, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Your face looks a little strange."
Jiang Wang looked at the Soul-Devouring Witch, very puzzled.
"Nothing! Quickly arrange things for him."
The Soul-Devouring Witch shouted, then jumped out of bed.
Jiang Wang spread his hands, revealing a helpless expression.
"Having experienced pain, you want others to have a taste too? Arranging it now."
Jiang Wang said, picking up the paper wolf with one hand and pressing him onto the bed.
"Why is he unconscious?"
The Soul-Devouring Witch looked at the paper wolf's current state, revealing a strange expression.
"He wanted to run away just now, but how could I let him get his way?"
Jiang Wang smiled, snapped his fingers, and began to talk to the Dream Demon King.
A brand new instance had been constructed, and it would definitely arrange some surprising events for the paper wolf.
"Now that you've entered this cycle of reincarnation, don't think about achieving nirvana easily."
Jiang Wang's voice sounded calm and detached, and without mincing words, he was simply washing his hands of the matter.
After all, he wasn't the one entering this hellish level, and he wasn't the one being tormented and suffering.
It wasn't that he was gloating or anything, but he did have a feeling of detachment.
It was probably like, finishing your own homework and then watching other students continue to work hard.
"Ah, I don't want to enter the hellish dream! Let me go, I regret it!"
The paper wolf woke up before entering and shouted.
"Too late, brother, get in there!"
Jiang Wang raised his hand and slammed it hard on the paper wolf's head.
The paper wolf, who had gritted his teeth and endured the pain when receiving treatment at the Holy Light Recuperation Center.
That was a death of a thousand cuts, cutting off the infected flesh piece by piece and salting the wounds with holy light.
This was already a form of torture, but he endured it.
Now, this hellish level, this ultimate nightmare, filled him with immense fear.
This ultimate nightmare was not comparable to physical pain.
Mental torment was far more difficult to bear than physical torment.
At least that's what the paper wolf thought, which was why he chose to run away directly.
"I'm curious, what kind of script did you set for him this time?"
The Soul-Devouring Witch asked curiously, revealing a strange expression.
"It's probably to give him a little sweetness first, letting him see the beautiful situation of his goal being achieved in the dream."
"He will establish a brand new Management Bureau, and then this organization will be corrupted in a short period of time."
"In the dream, what he will gain is endless disappointment, and in the end, he will be besieged and killed by his subordinates."
Jiang Wang smiled, casually finishing the entire script.
The Soul-Devouring Witch looked at Jiang Wang, suddenly feeling a chill down her spine.
"This kind of method is indeed very suitable for dealing with criminals. Are you going to set up a prison here?"
The Soul-Devouring Witch asked, feeling that such torment would be very suitable for those evildoers.
"How could a prison be inside the Heart Demon Hall? I definitely have to build another building."
Jiang Wang said with a matter-of-course expression.
"These prisoners might go crazy directly in the prison, so rather than calling it a prison, it's more like a madhouse."
"People who have committed crimes combined with madmen, I understand, this place will be called Arkham Asylum."
Jiang Wang smiled, finding a very appropriate name in his memory.
"No, I have a feeling that if we call it that name, the prisoners inside will escape faster."
Jiang Wang shook his head, even though he was the one who suggested the name, he turned around and rejected everything himself.
"Using these bad people to cultivate magic eyes, isn't that pretty good?"
The Soul-Devouring Witch smiled.
Chapter 923: The Witch's Heart
The Soul-Devouring Witch used to be a member of the Holy Temple, and she was actually very experienced in fighting against evil.
However, she always had some dissatisfaction with the Holy Temple's methods, because the Holy Temple's process of killing bad people was straightforward and direct.
They would not have the slightest hesitation, nor would they have any special thoughts; they would just kill them.
But the Soul-Devouring Witch felt that these people died too easily. If possible, they must be severely tortured.
They must be subjected to all kinds of punishments, to make them regret coming to do evil, even regret coming to this World Serpent.
"You're a little too extreme."
Back then, the Soul-Devouring Witch secretly told her sister her thoughts, and her sister responded like this.
She immediately felt that she seemed a little out of place with the Holy Temple members.
At that time, the Blindfolded Saintess was still a naive girl being fooled by holy light, with a lack of understanding of the world.
It was only when she knew that her sister had left her that she finally transformed and gradually changed into a completely new appearance.
And at that time, the Soul-Devouring Witch herself was already an "anomaly."
When facing evildoers, there was no need to torture them, no need to imprison them; just kill them and give them a quick death.
But the Soul-Devouring Witch's thinking was different from ordinary Holy Temple members.
And this "abnormality" actually proved one thing: she was qualified to become a Saintess.
