Chapter 2024 - 1026: Teacher’s Little Secret (2)
As the elevator finally passed through the thirteenth floor and descended to the underground fourteenth floor, the sisters’ eyes became sharp.
Oh oh oh, it’s here, finally it’s almost here.
Are we finally going to see some of the little secrets that Spider Teacher usually hides?
Dorothy really felt a sense of joy in breaking taboos, a feeling that was intoxicating, even she became somewhat excited.
Then...
Then she started sweating profusely.
The fourteenth floor presented itself with towering giant culture tanks; these transparent glass tanks were filled with unknown green liquid, and floating within the liquid were various obviously still living individuals of otherworldly races.
Hmm, Elves, Dwarves, Mermaids, Orcs, and such—almost all common and uncommon otherworldly races were present, they could directly establish a museum of otherworldly races.
Homebody Witch: "..."
Oh no, now I’ve truly become a villain’s minion.
Though, from a witch’s worldview, this kind of thing is really too normal, and fundamentally it’s not much different from using white mice as test samples, but Dorothy still slightly frowned.
She didn’t feel any dissatisfaction with her teacher because of this; after all, it’s not Spider Teacher who’s abnormal, but herself.
After being reincarnated for many years, she still couldn’t adapt well to certain things.
Beside her, Sophia also slightly frowned, not very fond of this scene because it reminded her of memories she preferred not to recall.
Born remembering, this Genius Witch was born in a similar laboratory, as an experimental subject.
However, the usually most timid among the three, Audrey, was unexpectedly calm upon seeing the situation, even displaying a smile of admiration on her stunning face.
Dorothy just subconsciously intended to block her little junior sister’s eyes, but when she turned her head, she saw Audrey’s genuinely unsettling smile.
Hiss.....
Wait, did I pick the wrong script? Though it was somewhat unexpected for the teacher to be an evil Puppet Master, it was still within reason since she was a Demon Witch after all. But Audrey, you’re...
Oh, little junior sister, you’re also a Demon Witch, then it’s alright.....
Alright my foot, Audrey be normal, you’re not a pink-haired fox, you’re a golden-haired fox, don’t pull this pink cut black routine, I’m scared.
"Uh, senior sister, what’s wrong?"
Audrey also noticed the abnormality of the Homebody Witch beside her and tilted her head, asking with concern.
Hmm, once indoors, especially in such a enclosed narrow space as the elevator, the Little Fox felt very secure, coupled with being surrounded by acquaintances, Audrey’s social anxiety greatly alleviated, and she rarely began to speak and ask.
And that voice, which sounded normal, was really a delight to the ears, like a natural melody.
Dorothy’s earlier moment of horror was soothed by this melodious voice almost comparable to her "Voice of God", calming her down.
"It’s nothing, just thinking Audrey, you were particularly bold today; weren’t you afraid of those scenes just now?"
Homebody Witch didn’t hide and directly asked.
It’s better not to conceal anything between good sisters, as keeping things bottled up for long can damage sisterly bonds.
"Uh, senior sister, you thought I was that timid? I just have social anxiety, not cowardice; I actually quite enjoy watching horror movies."
Audrey protested with a hint of dissatisfaction from being underestimated.
"And those people, with their Original Sin desires almost overflowing, clearly weren’t good people; being imprisoned was well-deserved, what’s there to be afraid of?"
The Little Fox added naturally.
"Uh....."
Upon hearing this, Dorothy then looked at the culture tanks again, her black and white eyes briefly flashing with strange talismanic marks.
Observing Qi Technique, activate.
"Oh wow, the demonic Qi is black and purple, what a hellish scene."
The Homebody Witch was startled by the demonic Qi seen from the Observing Qi Technique’s perspective.
Though the Observing Qi Technique can’t absolutely measure a person’s morality, rationally speaking, out of ten cans of preserved meat in those tanks, nine should perhaps be shot, and there might still be a fish that slipped through the net.
Oh, then it’s fine, Teacher, you’re executing justice here.
Dorothy felt relieved, though she also knew her teacher’s character had little to do with justice in the commonly understood sense.
"Really don’t know where Auntie got so many perfect samples; these naturally corrupted Original Sin Puppets are the best material for making High-Level Original Sin Puppets."
And at this moment, Audrey looked at those culture tanks full of envy and remarked.
"Original Sin Puppet?"
Hearing this, Dorothy was somewhat puzzled, as this touched on her knowledge blind spot; there were no such lessons taught by the teacher before?
"Uh-huh, it’s a hereditary craft of Auntie’s family, a unique Ultimate Technique of the Arachne House, quite an advanced Puppetry Technique, I came to study under Auntie to learn this."
The Little Fox explained earnestly.
She learned Puppetry Technique to establish a puppet theater, and the Arachne House was originally engaged in puppet theater; their Original Sin Puppets were famous for their distinct personalities, able to portray emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness with exquisite precision, more emotionally vivid than real actors, which was a unique technique not easily copied by others.
Hmm, if Auntie hadn’t left the Arachne House, outsiders practically couldn’t learn this craft; Audrey only thought of learning because she heard Auntie had left the family, otherwise with her status she wouldn’t really need to attend Witch Academy, home tutoring by her mothers would be far superior.
Unfortunately, her learning of Puppetry Technique was somewhat slow, still ten thousand eight hundred miles from being able to learn Original Sin Puppet creation.
But that’s normal, as even the Spider Witches of the Arachne House needed at least two hundred years to master Original Sin Puppet creation, not everyone was as monstrous as Auntie who had mastered it at twenty.
If Audrey estimates her current learning pace, she might need about fifty years to master Original Sin Puppet.
But if it’s senior sister...
Forget it, this is meaningless, since whether senior sister can learn it depends on Auntie writing the teaching materials.
Having just finished Auntie’s basic teaching materials and still struggling with the subsequent advanced concepts, the Little Fox felt somewhat defeated.
Life isn’t easy, Fox Fox sighs.
"However, senior sister, you might be able to learn Original Sin Puppet creation soon, maybe you should start collecting some of those Original Sin Puppet materials in advance."
Audrey advised.
Sure enough, these utterly greedy deviant villains are quite rare, bad people abound, but very few have desires to such an extreme.
Dorothy: "..."
Oh, High-Level Puppetry Technique, that’s fine, it’s beyond the curriculum content.
But Spider Teacher, you indeed have more tricks up your sleeve.
"Actually, besides Original Sin, fervent faith works too; the Angel Witch Clan once had similar Puppetry Technique seemingly called Divine Grace Technique."
At that point, Sophia chimed in.
Dorothy: "....."
No, you call turning people into puppets Divine Grace?
The Homebody Witch was temporarily speechless.
As usual, she felt somewhat out of place in this world because of her excessive normalcy.
Shaking her head, she chose not to dwell on it anymore; thinking too much about such matters would only add unnecessary troubles, and she stopped looking at the next few floors.
As the elevator rapidly descended, finally reaching the innermost thirty-third floor, Spider Teacher’s boudoir.
Only...
"Uh, did I just walk in on mom hitting the teacher?"
.....Homebody Witch in shock....
