Above, the six available badges flashed with golden light.
Besides Ren Yu's permanent "Dog Badge," which greatly increased his physical attributes, and "Faceless One," usable only in stealth, the remaining few were—Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon, Heroic Spirit Killer, Flowing Cloud Coiled Dragon Pendant, and Berserker Heart.
The more Ren Yu looked at them, the stranger he felt.
Where exactly had things changed?
He couldn't pinpoint it, but he had a premonition.
As Ren Yu was looking at the silver-white sphere in the sky, Sie also turned her gaze, her expression somewhat dazed, and murmured, "What is this thing? Why does it feel so familiar?"
Ren Yu tilted his head and realized it was Sie. She still hadn't slept.
Sie lay on the bed, her fair legs crossed, and said with a nostalgic expression, "I feel like I can control them."
She extended her fair, slender arm and clenched her fist as if grasping the large silver-white ball.
At that moment, a change occurred.
The large silver-white ball gradually turned pale blue, and several soft beams of light descended, connecting to Sie, seemingly absorbing something.
Ren Yu clearly felt the speed at which the badges replenished their energy increase.
Previously, they could only recover a little energy per day, but now the recovery speed had increased by at least four to five times.
He looked at the dark figure on the other bed, dumbfounded.
Something was wrong!
Ren Yu also realized.
Aside from the increased energy replenishment speed, the key point was that Sie could actually see this white ball?
This thing shouldn't be visible only to him, right?!
He had shown it to others before, but they could only see empty air, making them think Ren Yu was playing tricks on them.
Just then, Sie suddenly felt a bit dizzy, and a voice abruptly appeared in her mind: "Sie, what are you doing!"
"Why is the energy in the Stigmata decreasing? That's what we worked so hard to gather!"
It was "Sie" who had woken up.
She had already fallen asleep due to fatigue, but now she was awakened by the actions of another self.
What was going on?
Why was the energy constantly draining?
When she saw the pale blue transparent sphere in mid-air, her eyes narrowed slightly.
"This thing is absorbing our energy, why aren't you resisting at all?"
As she spoke, several iron chains shot out from nowhere, striking the floating sphere.
The moment the sound of metal friction occurred, the sphere had already turned into countless light spots and vanished into thin air before Sie.
BOOM
The chains, having lost their target, embedded themselves straight into the ceiling, piercing through it. A loud noise erupted.
"?!"
Ren Yu's eyelids twitched. He thought it was fortunate that no one lived upstairs.
Otherwise, he would have received a complaint.
He snapped his fingers and pressed the light switch by the bedside, frowning as he asked, "Sie, what are you doing?"
A large hole had appeared in the ceiling, revealing the furniture upstairs.
Fine dust continued to fall from the fractured surface.
At this moment, "Sie" also turned around, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. "I was about to ask you what you did."
"Mr. Ren Yu."
"So your goal was the energy I accumulated in the Sea of Quantum."
Ren Yu's expression was calm, and he said faintly:
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I never forced Sie to do anything, right Sie?"
In his mind, Sie, the primary personality, repeatedly agreed.
[Yes, I did it all, it has nothing to do with him. Hurry up and stop!]
Chapter 21: Power Bank
Sensing Sie's response, "Sie," the secondary personality, immediately frowned and muttered with dissatisfaction, "We're the ones at a disadvantage, why are you protecting him so much?"
She knew she was the secondary personality, the embodiment of Sie's negative emotions.
But in this situation, she was the one who had to handle it.
Otherwise, with her timid self who only knew how to hide and be scared when facing problems, she would have long been bullied by others.
As Sie gazed at Ren Yu, Ren Yu also gazed at her, spreading his hands and saying speechlessly, "I haven't done anything to you, and Sie never intended to destroy my things. On the contrary, you acted on your own. Don't you feel any guilt at all?"
He appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly, he was far from it.
—Sie... is a power bank?!
In an instant, Ren Yu had another bold thought.
—I need to find a reason to keep her here!
But how exactly should he deal with this troublesome alternate personality?
She wasn't as innocent and easily fooled as Sie.
If handled improperly, she could even go berserk.
Speaking of going berserk, it reminded him of another brat who had developed a psychological complex from being abused by the alternate Sie—Xing Mar.
