Chapter 165
After reading the signs from the soul, Michelle smiled a bit. In her mind, she formed her own story about the soul. "I don’t know how, but you somehow separated from your original body and started floating around the world, looking for a suitable body to invade," she started explaining.
"You either want to live in symbiosis with me, or you want to parasite on me. If you don’t tell me the truth, I will never find out when or why you really chose and entered my body, but I don’t need to know."
"Right now, I won’t get rid of you, and I won’t do it even if you cross me. In that case, your punishment will be much worse. I’ll make you regret ever entering my soul space, and I’ll make it so you will never be able to leave. I’ll make you suffer endlessly."
When Michelle finished speaking, she closed her purple eyes again and went to sleep. Most of what she said was a lie, but she would never let the soul find out.
With Michelle asleep, the soul no longer controlled her soul energy. It didn’t dare to do anything. So it just remained quiet next to Michelle’s soul, acting like it didn’t exist. Unless Michelle called for it, it wouldn’t show itself again. It didn’t want to be tortured.
Michelle slept for a long time and only woke up after a whole two days, yawning lazily. The first thing she did after waking up was to sense for any movement in her soul energy. When she didn’t feel anything, a small smile crept to her lips and a thought flashed through her mind.
"Ignorance kills!"
That two-word sentence expressed how Michelle got the soul under control. Because the soul didn’t research in any way what Michelle was able to do, it ate the bait she threw at it and believed that she was able to destroy it if she wanted. That awoke its self-preservation instinct and made it submit to Michelle completely.
But Michelle was aware that such submission wouldn’t last long. No matter what kind of relationship it was, if it was based on lies and deception, it would eventually fall, taking down many things along with it.
To prevent that, Michelle had to take some precaution. She had to make it so that even if the soul found out that Michelle lied to it, it wouldn’t harm her.
The easiest way would be to make the lies a reality, but it wasn’t the best way. Of course, Michelle would try to make it reality, but at the same time, she would try another way.
