"Imprisoning killing intent—was this your doing?" Gloria held up the Crimson Heart in her hand and looked suspiciously at Shali.
"Yes." Shali nodded in admission.
Gloria said nothing, instead handing the Crimson Heart over to Angel. After taking it, Angel examined it carefully before saying, "It does count as suppression."
However, Shali's so-called suppression was worlds apart from Frost's suppression.
"Can it be used on Toby?" Gloria asked.
Angel shook his head. "I'm not certain. I'll need to test the limits of Shali's ability before I can give an answer."
Over the next while, Angel began conducting basic experiments on Shali's so-called "emotion suppression" through a series of methods.
This round of experiments took a long time. It lasted from when the sun was high in the sky until the moon hung overhead.
"How did it go?" The moment Angel stopped, Gloria immediately asked.
Angel did not answer directly. Instead, he handed Gloria the experimental report and let her read it herself.
After finishing the report, Gloria frowned slightly. "It seems it won't work?"
Measured in magnitude ranges, perfectly suppressing Toby's emotions required a magnitude above 10. Yet Shali's experimental report showed that her suppression limit only reached around 3.412, still far from magnitude 10.
"Judging from the results, it indeed won't work," Angel replied.
"What do you mean, judging from the results? Are you saying there's another way?" Gloria looked at Angel in confusion.
"3.412 may seem far below 10, but taking Shali's ability into account, it is already extremely high. Of everyone I've seen so far, aside from Lord Frost, I probably couldn't find anyone higher than Shali." Angel said, "Even so, Shali still hasn't reached the passing mark. It may seem regrettable, but in my view, 3.412 is just right."
"Just right? Why?"
"Because I have a
